Chapter 27: The Son of God
Twilight, is the surname of the goddess of twilight - Phoebe Canas Twilight.
Ciel's origin turned out to be the Twilight Moon Protoss?How else would you explain his surname?Who else would dare to have the surname Twilight Moon besides the Twilight Moon Protoss?
Qin Zheng suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he restrained his emotions and pointed at Hill and said, "I want to talk to you alone." ”
"No problem, but the number one problem now-" Hill said, looking around at everyone, turning his head to face Qin Zheng and smiling slightly. "Can you, the Chief, let us followers see you for what you really are?"
This request was not too much at all, and Qin Zheng took off his mask as he said.
The twelve big men were all stunned, their eyes straight, their mouths slightly open, and each face was full of dull expressions.
I knew it would be like this, Qin Zheng said secretly. The mood was a little helpless, but it could be seen that these people were not all amazed by his face, and it was very likely that they were shocked by his youth.
Ciel regained his composure and said, "Qin, I need to talk to you alone. ”
When everyone saw that the head of the regiment and the leader had something to discuss, they were a little stunned, and consciously dispersed to guard the surrounding movements, for the mercenaries who spent the night in the Amethyst Forest, the night has always been full of dangers. Qin Zheng saw them leaving, and wanted to say that it was safe within a radius of a hundred meters, and Qin Xie had already left a breath to warn those restless demon beasts, but he was still very pleased with everyone's intentions and did not break it.
"I know what you're trying to ask," Ciel said without concealing anything, "I do come from the Twilight Clan, and I can't deny that, just as I can't deny my own bloodline." I need to hide my last name when I travel abroad, so as not to cause trouble for my family and family, after all...... I think you can see what I mean. ”
Indeed, the people who bear the surname Twilight are descendants of God, and the influence is too great. Qin Zheng was just wondering why Hill said the Twilight Moon Family instead of the Twilight Moon Protoss, could it be because of the language difference? For example, Demon Beast and Demon Beast actually mean the same thing, and the Healing Charm and Healing Scroll also mean the same thing, but the difference between the meaning of the family and the Protoss is quite big.
"As far as I know, the Twilight Protoss are descendants of the Twilight Goddess. ”
"You're right, there's a misunderstanding here, the Twilight Divine Clan is collectively the name of the eight noble families, the Twilight Moon family is the direct descendant of the goddess, and the other seven noble families are all collateral families. ”
Qin Zheng understood, that is, the surnames of the seven aristocratic families did not mean Twilight. In my memory, the people of the Twilight Moon Divine Clan all look similar, the men are all handsome, the women are beautiful, and they can't tell who is who except for being able to distinguish between color and gender, which is very dazzling. When his eyes fell on Ciel's black hair, he suddenly remembered that the direct descendants of the goddess of the twilight moon were all silver-haired, without exception.
"Did you dye your hair?"
Seeing Hill nodding honestly, Qin Zheng's mood was a little complicated.
"I'm glad you can follow me. ”
Hill put his right hand on his chest and said sincerely, "It's my pleasure to follow you. Noticing Qin Zheng's worries, he cast an inquiring look.
"Will you be in trouble?In the eyes of the Twilight Protoss, I am a commoner, and your family can tolerate you doing this?Agree with the Divine Son to follow the civilian?" Qin Zheng asked him while wanting to know if he was in trouble, Ciel's family background made Qin Zheng instantly think of it. It was not the original intention to take away the seal of the Xuan family's head clan, but it was foreseeable that this fuse would cause big trouble-the endless death or the pursuit of the Xuan family, if the Twilight Moon Divine Clan came to find trouble, Qin Zheng felt that his head was going to explode after a little thought.
"They won't care. Hill said bitterly.
"Them?" Qin Zheng asked subconsciously, and when he saw Hill's expression with a story, he didn't want to know anymore. Everyone has unspeakable secrets, and no one likes to be found out, and since Ciel said no, then there is no need to worry about the Twilight Protoss listing a felony for kidnapping the Son of God. "You don't have to be completely open to me, it's not good for me to know too many secrets. ”
"I'm not talking about secrets, it's facts, there's nothing to hide. ”
Hill said calmly, "The women of the Twilight Moon Protoss have a high status, and because of their different temperaments, they tend to choose one or more male concubines from their families or commoners. Male concubines have no formal rights and titles, and women can replace or dispose of them at will, of course, if it is a man with superior skills, the fate will be smoother, not only will he be able to obtain rights and titles, but he may also have the children of his dreams. In the Twilight Moon Protoss, it is not easy to make women willing to endure the pain of pregnancy and give birth to a child. ”
Qin Zheng's brows furrowed when he heard this, the truth that Hill said was a little different from the truth in his memory. The women of the Twilight Moon Protoss have a very high status, yes, they rarely show up, usually men are in charge of the city or handling affairs, I haven't heard that the status is so low that they are concubines, which is too ......
"Although men have a low status, they are fortunate to enjoy the same education as mothers and women at an early age, but they need to learn many more skills than women. There are three paths a male can take as an adult: join the army, help run a city under the command of a family, or become a concubine for a woman. In fact, no matter which of the three paths you choose, you will inevitably become a male concubine in the end, which is equivalent to the 'female eldest should marry' here. Hill specifically quoted Taizu to explain.
His expression was calm, and there was no trace of anger or hatred, as if he had long been accustomed to it. "So don't worry, they don't use me as an excuse to trouble you, they don't care about the choice of men at all, they only care about handsome looks, strong bodies, and superb skills. Hill looked at Qin Zheng carefully, and then added, "If one day in the future, a woman of the Twilight Moon Protoss will find you, I think there is only one reason, I want to invite you to be their male concubine, your face and body are their favorite type. ”
Qin Zheng was a little crying and laughing at what he added. "Don't say that about me, you're handsome, I don't believe there will be no woman like you. ”
"You said yes, there was a woman who asked me to be her male concubine several times despite my wishes, and I didn't like it, so I rejected her, which made her quite annoyed, and I could only escape for the sake of my life......" Hill smiled bitterly, and at the end he sighed: "I don't want to be played to death in bed." ”
"She's old and ugly?"
"No, she's young, pretty, and a very attractive woman, but I don't love her. ”
Obviously a descendant of a god, a noble son of God, he almost became a male concubine, Qin Zheng felt very sympathetic to his plight, and asked: "Even the men of the Twilight Moon family can't escape the fate of becoming a male concubine?" Hill is a direct descendant of the Twilight Moon Goddess, and it is a bit unbelievable to think about it.
Ciel was silent for a while, and said, "The women of the Twilight Moon God Clan are inferior to men and have nothing to do with the family, not only can they not escape, but the men of the Twilight Moon Family are also the first choice of all women. ”
Yes, the direct line is very attractive to the side line, and you can imagine the miserable situation of Hill being coveted by a group of women from childhood to adulthood. "Thank you for telling me so much. Qin Zheng said sincerely, thinking about it from another angle, there is no need for Hill to be so honest.
"I want your trust. ”
"You've gained my trust. ”
Hill breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully placed his right hand on his chest, and said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”
Qin Zheng was stunned. "What do you call me?"
"The mark on your forehead is proof of the successful fusion of white flames, is there anything wrong with me calling you Your Highness the Holy King?"
“......”
Suddenly, Qin Zheng thought a lot. Thinking of the reason why Hill was honest with him, thinking of the consequences of the exposure of the seal, thinking of the gains and losses of becoming the Holy King of the Twilight Moon, thinking of Hou An, who was already a candidate for the Holy King of the Rising Sun, and thinking of the grievances between the two great temples.
Hill noticed that Qin was expressionless, and vaguely understood something.
"You can trust me. ”
"You are a descendant of God, a noble son of God, and you still need to be so respectful to the selected Saint King?" Qin Zheng was puzzled, no matter how low Hill's status in the Twilight Moon Divine Clan was, just because he was a man, not because there was a problem with his bloodline, he was still an unattainable existence in the eyes of the world. To put it bluntly, the Twilight Moon Temple is the power of believers and the spokesperson of the goddess, so why should the Son of God be respectful to the believers?
"It's really not necessary, and you can even be arrogant and rude, the Son of God has this privilege. Hill's eyes were slightly crooked, and he smiled elegantly. "'Pride leads to destruction,' this is the Goddess's warning to future generations and people, and to me, an oracle. ”
This proverb is very famous and widely circulated, Qin Zheng has also heard it, and he thinks it is very thought-provoking, and it is often used to reflect on himself. Everything is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, and Hill can look at his bloodline and identity with a normal heart, and it is really valuable to not help the upright behavior of the upper and lower tombs. Qin Zheng guessed that perhaps it was precisely because of this that Hill was not tolerated by the people who reached a consensus.
"I don't want to get involved in the feud between the two temples, at least not yet. ”
"I know what to do. Hill bowed.
"Aren't you curious why?"
"I have sworn to the Goddess of the Twilight Moon to obey your orders forever. ”
Qin Zheng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, he was in a very happy mood, Hill was worthy of being an excellent executor, and he knew that unconditional obedience could quickly build his trust and favor. "Let them come back and rest, you need to conserve your strength when you get out of here, and you will set off as soon as it is dawn. Seeing that Hill hesitated slightly, he continued: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
After so many days of tossing and turning, his body was very tired, his nerves were tense, and he had not slept comfortably for a long time, and he was overjoyed to learn that he could sleep without worry, and immediately got up and went to inform his companions. Hawkeye didn't say anything after everyone came back one after another, and fell directly to the ground and fell asleep, snoring one after another, Hill only leaned on the tree and closed his eyes to rest, and did not relax his due vigilance because of Qin Zheng's guards.
