Seeing Hoover's reminiscing expression at this time, Fang Xiao couldn't help but comfort:
"People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change..."
"If you think too much, he may not be dead," Hoover shook his head, "He only disappeared twenty years ago, and the Cult of Light has not received any news of the death of any Pope, but until now, he has not been heard from, but I believe that he must still be alive!" ”
Hoover looked ahead and recalled: "That Pope of the Holy Temple, known as the best genius in the history of the Cult of Light, is proficient in all the light magic, not only the healing magic of the priest, but even the offensive magic of all exorcists and all the chanting of priests, legend has it that among the thirteen popes, only his strength can firmly overpower the crown of the pope back then!" ”
Will it be stronger than the Pope?
Looking at Fang Xiao with a look of surprise on his face, Hoover smiled and continued, "Do you know why? ”
"Why?"
"Because, he's just like you! Also the Children of Light! ”
What the?
It turns out that the Children of Light can be so strong?
So, I'm also a genius of light magic?
Why didn't I realize something so important before...
Oh... It seems that there is no way to realize it in the Bloodline...
Seeing that Fang Xiao was silent, thinking that he was being surprised by the strength of that one Pope, he continued to walk forward.
At this time, it was noon, and pedestrians on the road occasionally saw some very young children, looking at these small figures snuggled up to their parents, Hoover seemed to be talking to himself, recalling: "I am an orphan, I grew up in the slums, I have seen the ugliest side of mankind, I myself am no better, I have been a thief, I have robbed things, formed gangs, fought and injured people for turf This is commonplace, and even when I was young, I killed people with my own hands..."
"Once, our own gang had one of the worst fights with another gang, and that time, a lot of people really died, and they were all children about the same age as me at the time..."
Hoover sighed and continued to tell his story in his own deep voice: "I was hit in the head and fainted, and when I woke up, there was no one standing, and there were young corpses all around, and now I think about it, I must have fainted for two whole days, and I woke up thirsty and hungry." ”
"I got up from the pile of dead people, and left somewhere, trying to find something to eat, and my mind was drowsy, so I walked aimlessly, and then on the way I found an old man sitting on a stone by the side of the road, he was dressed in a white robe, and he looked like he was very rich, so I took my dagger out of my pocket, and walked up to him, and asked him to hand over all the money on him..."
Speaking of this, Hoover couldn't help laughing: "Now that I think about it, deciding to rob that old man is the most correct thing I have ever done in my life, I remember that he looked at me with surprise on his face, didn't say anything, took out food and water from his ring, handed it to me, and didn't leave, just sat there and watched me stuff all the food into my stomach like a mad dog." ”
"At that time, the children in our gang didn't understand any big truths, only how to write the word "benevolence and righteousness"! Whoever is good to us, we will be good to him, and I said to him at the time: I owe you a life, I can do one thing for you, anything can be! He didn't take a joke as a joke when a child like me said it, but replied to me seriously, saying that I should be his successor..."
Hoover straightened his body as if he were standing up to the sky, and kept moving forward, and all the passers-by around him who saw him gave him respectful glances and heartfelt greetings. Seeing this scene, Hoover couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I promised him, and I followed him to the Cult of Light, I thought I could repay his life-saving grace, but I didn't expect to owe more and more..."
"I have lived to this day, and I owe two great favors! As a man, it is a duty to repay kindness. There is a person I am repaying the kindness of one person, but for him, I may not be able to repay it in this life..."
At this point, Hoover rarely showed a sad emotion, and sighed faintly: "Soon after he took me into the Cult of Light, he disappeared, and everyone in the Holy See doesn't seem to have any intention of looking for him, maybe everyone thought he was dead..."
The two of them turned a corner, and the sacred palace standing on the high mountain peak once again appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, looking at the palace that seemed to be in the divine realm, Hoover said firmly in his low, without any trace of confusion: "But I believe that he must still be alive, this is my intuition!" ”
"You just said you owe two people a favor." After hearing Hoover's story, Fang Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Then who is the other person?" ”
"It's Lord Raphael," Hoover smiled, and continued, "after that man took me as his heir, he disappeared before he could teach me anything, and it was Master Raphael who became my teacher in the place of the Pope." The skills I have now are all due to Lord Raphael. ”
"Since the disappearance of that Pope, Lord Raphael has been searching for his successor throughout the Continent of the Gods, until now, a full twenty years, but before that, he would return to the Cult of Light once a year in winter, and I know that he did it for my sake. When he first went out, he took me with him, taught me as hard as he could, and when he returned, he sent me to the Academy of Light, where he studied for a year, digesting the knowledge that Master Raphael had taught me during the year, and when he came back again, he would take me with him on the road to find the heirs, and I thought it would go on and on, but he let me take over all the affairs of the temple two years ago, and never took me out again. ”
Hoover stopped and said with great seriousness:
"I know best what Lord Raphael has suffered in the past twenty years. Seeing that every time he comes back, he will get a little older, but he still gets nothing, year after year, and he keeps repeating this kind of thing, and that feeling is really helpless... Gradually, I didn't expect anything from it. I thought that Lord Raphael would not be able to find his suitable successor after exhausting his life, but I didn't expect that at this time, you appeared. ”
Hoover turned his head and looked at Fang Xiao.
"Thank you..."
“... Kindness. ”
Fang Xiao nodded lightly
