23. Chapter 23

Of course, when Richie entered, Benedict disappeared just in time. Angelo looked at the ink spots falling on the sheets, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Your Highness, yesterday afternoon the chef of the Holy See went out to purchase a batch of nut cakes, as if they were intended for the traveling team." Richie set up his washing things and stepped aside. Angelo nodded, "Do you know who is going to travel?" "Here, traveling as an adult is a tradition and a turning point in the fate of some people's lives.

"I don't know, but I suspect it's the same Casey Ackerman last time, and he should be the right age." Richie lowered his head, it was already a sin that he didn't recognize Casey last time, thinking that this time there was still no eyebrow, and there was some resentment in his heart, as if there was no good thing after meeting this Ackerman.

"There are quite a few new people of school age admitted by the Holy See, so don't jump to conclusions." Angelo raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you think about it, if you let the people of the Holy See know that we pay extra attention to this Ackerman, you won't even have to find an excuse when the bishop appears again next time." ”

"Does Your Highness mean to leave him alone?" Richie looked up, disapproval flashing in his eyes. Angelo knocked him down, "Let's not mention that my only connection with Ackerman is Tork, just say that he is now a priest of the Holy See, and I am a prince of the Empire, so why should I pay extra attention to him?" Take care of our own business, don't care what he does, but don't let him affect anything. Angelo looked at Richie, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just leave him alone." ”

He really misses the people in his previous life a little, maybe he should really train a few of his own people, at least he can understand what he means. "Yes, Your Highness." Richie scratched his head and took Angelo's finished stuff away.

After Richie left, Angelo leaned back in his chair, "I want to go out and travel too." A natural voice came from behind you: "When you are seventeen years old, your father will naturally arrange for you to travel." ”

"The third brother ran away by himself when he was seventeen years old." Angelo turned his head, "because he doesn't want to travel from the palace to the barracks, or from the palace to the school, like the eldest brother and the second brother." And after Phil came back from the Abyss Forest, he was severely reprimanded by Xiuen, as a prince of the empire, he was willful and reckless.

"In fact, they've all traveled to other places." Benedict smiled, "It's just that when I tell you, I don't talk about the thrills of the road." Or just when I told Angelo.

"If so, do you think my father will allow me to go far away when I'm seventeen?" Angelo's eyes flashed with a hint of hope.

"Bring someone with you, and your father will allow it." Rubbing his head in front of him, Benedict re-fastened the hair ornament he had removed last night to the back of Angelo's head. Feeling the weight of the return on his head, Angelo shook his head, "I hope that my father will allow me to pick someone to bring it myself." "Although I know that it is unlikely. Purple eyes blinked, and Angelo looked at Benedict. The look of anticipation made Benedict's eyes relax slightly.

"Yes." Benedict chuckled, rubbed Angelo's head, and vanished as a point of light. He had to go to the Pharmacists Association to prepare first, much earlier than Angelo had arrived.

Angelo closed his eyes slightly, there are some things that he is not qualified to participate in now, and it is still okay to coax people.

It's also funny, I just told Richie in the morning not to take the initiative to get involved with Ackerman, and in the afternoon, someone took the initiative to come to the door.

The two people in the palace stopped and stood solemnly, and what the two puppets saw was quickly reflected in the eyes of the two people in the forest, Angelo casually used a lightning spell to solve the poisonous snake in front of him, looked around, and saw Benedict standing on the canopy on the side, "Is it necessary for us to go back?" ”

Since Benedict transferred the will of the puppet to him, the puppet will not be revealed when Xiun and the others watch it, but at this time, it is an unknown factor.

"I thought," Benedict looked around and waved to the barrier, "it's better to go back and have a look." ”

In the palace, Casey Ackerman had come under the guise of a visit, and since he was now a member of the Holy See, Richie and Chuck could not do anything to him, so they just let him wait. Seeing the two people who stopped, Casey was secretly vigilant in her heart, she had never heard of Sterling having such a teacher in her previous life, especially such a powerful teacher. Although frightened, Casey noticed Sterling's indifference, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, it seemed that he was thinking well, Sterling had a strong possessive desire for Steven, how could he give up as expected.

After a while, the two approached, and Casey looked at Angelo's expressionless face, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I have heard the name of His Royal Highness for a long time, and it is a great honor to have the honor to meet him today."

Angelo smiled, they had just come back when they heard such a sentence, and with this man's undisguised eyes, it was really an extra surprise. "I'm the same, I've heard your name for a long time. Come here today, what's the matter? ”

As if he were an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, Benedict knew that this was Angelo's usual method in his previous life, but he didn't know what the loophole in the rule in front of him could do.

"Ah, that's right, before Steven left, he entrusted me with taking care of you, and I don't have to travel soon, so I hope you can watch yourself and don't get into some trouble." Casey smiled and divided her previous movements into the perspective of protecting Angelo. He believed that Sterling would not listen to him, and would even provoke something extra, after all, Sterling used this trick to attract Steven's attention the last time they didn't leave the Empire. Thinking about something in his heart, the corners of Casey's eyes and eyebrows were also slightly happy.

Angelo blinked, "Since you are entrusted by someone, is it considered a breach of your promise to go out to travel now?" Inexplicably, Angelo's heart flashed four big words.

"I also obeyed the arrangement of the Holy See, and I had no choice but to do so." Casey lowered his eyes at the right time, showing a reluctant look, he knew that the relationship between the Ottoid Empire and the Holy See had no intention of repairing it, what he wanted was the complete submission of the Stirling family.

"Since I have no choice but to explain it to the Bishop, after all, if you travel, General Tork will be worried if he doesn't see you when he returns." Angelo instantly understood, and I have to say that this Ackerman is really sincere to Teucer, and he is even willing to come over and beg him, a former underdog. However, this guy's attitude at first was really uncomfortable, Angelo pouted, and this inadvertent little gesture fell into Benedict's eyes, causing a chuckle.

Casey's face turned red instantly, "Even if you don't appreciate it, you can't insult me like this!" "Damn Sterling, he really knows, which means he's got another handle on his own. The Holy See does not allow pastors and healers to have their own families, but during the service of the Holy See, there can be no fornication, otherwise it will be regarded as blasphemy, and Casey, because he had a relationship with Teucer before, has not dared to accept the sacraments of the Holy See, anyway, he is also an adult, and the sacraments have no effect on adults, and with the acquiescence of the bishop, no one knows about Casey's previous affairs.

"Actually, I have no intention of insulting you." Angelo smiled, apparently the man was not as sane as he had imagined. He had lost interest, "If you come here and only have this one thing." Well, I want to end the conversation. ”

Casey's expression looked as if he was going to eat him, and Angelo looked back at Benedict, his eyes full of doubt, as if he hadn't provoked him.

Not wanting to entangle Sterling too much, after all, he didn't do anything yet, Casey took a deep breath, "Farewell." With that, he got up and left. Even Richie, who was ready to show him the way, was left behind.

Turning around, Angelo looked at Benedict, "Is there something wrong with him?" ”

"He's just like you." Benedict thought for a moment, "It's not the same again, he's accepted by the rules of this world and obviously better than you." Because he was originally a person from this world, but it seems that the flow of time is different. ”

Angelo's eyes widened, "Rebirth?!" "This world is amazing, there is a soul from another world that he has crossed over, and there is a reborn guy." He wouldn't have a grudge against me in his last life, would he? Looking at Benedict's eyes, Angelo suddenly didn't want to know, but Benedict just shook his head. You didn't kill him in his last life. ”

With a sigh of relief, Angelo heard the second half of Benedict's words, "But it's about the same, the one he hated most before he died was you." But don't worry too much, I haven't seen all of his memories, it seems to be blocked by something. ”

What I hate the most is that I haven't seen all my memories, don't worry, Angelo rolled his eyes, "Why can't I see all of them?" "At least the question is still to the point, Benedict rubs his nose" is the rule, and someone doesn't want me to know. Angelo pursed his lips "Is your superior god?" ”

"In this world, there is no superior to me, but someone has taken advantage of the loopholes in the rules." Benedict smiled, in fact, even if he couldn't see the whole hazy image, he could roughly know what was going on, and the best way to find the culprit was when he showed up.

"You don't seem to care." Seeing Benedict's expression, Angelo's heart relaxed slightly, and when he thought about it, Angelo thought of one thing. "You say, you made me accepted by the rules, but you actually changed the rules?"

"Ah, yes." Benedict held back the corners of his mouth that wanted to be raised, and pretended to be embarrassed to look at his lover with a stern face. Angelo frowned slightly, "You changed the rules to make me accepted by the world, and at the same time, Ackerman was accepted." "If you don't break the rules, Benedict is helpless?

"Not exactly." Benedict rolled his eyes, "If he's serious, he's still not accepted by the rules, but I need the guy who makes the rules a loophole." ”

"What do you want to do?" Angelo's eyes flashed with interest, his purple eyes flashed, and he seemed to have seen the future scene. However, Benedict shook his head, "I think, you need to keep training now." ”

Seeing a shiny target fly away, Angelo gritted his teeth, "Teacher, you let go of me first." ”

"Well, practice hand-to-hand combat in the next stage." Benedict locked Angelo, and his words were filled with a feeling, well, such a good feeling.

"Remove the divine power, I'm going to unload your arm." Angelo pouted, and a pair of apricot eyes became dead fish eyes.

A few days later, Angelo, who thought it was just a joke, looked at the equipment Benedict had made, which turned out to be a dummy for physical training on earth. "You're not unaware of my level." Speaking of which, he was still a little proud of his kung fu, and when he saw Benedict with a stern and serious face, Angelo suddenly returned to the way he was pressed and trained by his eldest brother when he was a child.

"If you make a move, it is because you are surprised, if the person on the other side knows you or has seen your methods, even if you do it naturally, you will be guarded against." Benedict took an arm from the dummy, "As someone who knows you, I'll manipulate the dummy to spar with you in a while." I'm not going to keep my hands. ”

"You seem to be going all out, and you're not afraid that I'll disappear directly." Angelo resigned himself to moving his joints, and when it came time for class, Benedict couldn't see anything of his usual appearance. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were too tired, Xiun would have suspected that Angelo was just acting with Benedict.

"Don't be afraid, I can find you wherever you disappear." Benedict smiled and attached the dummy's arm. With a movement of his fingers, the dummy moved as flexibly as if it had come to life.

Angelo adjusts his breathing, coping with the dummy's tricks while looking for possible flaws. But obviously, Benedict, who was trying to find out Angelo's bottom line, would not show any flaws to Angelo, at least for now.

With his arm around the dummy, Angelo only felt that he was encircling a piece of soft flesh that was not slippery, and he escaped from Angelo's shackles in an instant.

"Shouldn't the reaction be normal?" While changing his form, Angelo gave advice to Benedict, who was watching the battle on the other side or using his consciousness to participate in the battle. The man shook his head, "It's not just humans that you're dealing with, especially if this happens to humans. ”

Pouting, Angelo ducked down to dodge a sweep, "Back, lock throat." With a simple reminder, Angelo stepped forward, leaned back to bypass the dummy, and swiped his fingers through the dummy's throat, which naturally had no effect, but the action of that moment was engraved in Angelo's mind.

Obviously not his own action, Angelo's mouth slightly hooked, used his palm as a knife, and slashed at the dummy's ankle at the moment of possession. Seeing that Angelo understood what he meant, Benedict's eyes moved slightly, and the separated stream of consciousness became more obvious.

Deep in the forest, sounds that were clearly human activity did not attract anyone's attention. Humans only.
