Chapter 23: Love, Family, and the Sea of Stars (Part 5)
The sun shines on the land.
In this complex, black, white and gray are always the dominant colors. Towering white towers, holy white churches, grey temples, dark churches: the cults of the Herald of the Stars, the Creator, the King of Yellow and Black, and the Goddess of the Night converge here to shelter the city-state.
Melissa Moretti rose from her workbench and stretched her hands behind her back, making her shoulders and spine make a crisp sound of bones colliding.
She is now a mechanic - after all, the place is quite safe, and although she did not choose to continue her promotion, Melissa still maintains her curiosity and love for mechanics at the "scholar" stage, and chooses mechanic as a profession.
Of course, though she doesn't believe in the gods of steam and machines.
The door was suddenly pushed open - Melissa's brother Benson pushed it open and walked in.
He was accompanied by a woman wearing a long dress that covered her whole body, his fiancée, Ruth Brooke, who also belonged to one of the former refugees who had been transferred to the Silver Country in Beckland.
Of course, according to Rune's custom, after getting married, she should be called Ruth Moretti.
"Benson, you're back?" Melissa squealed softly, she placed the finely made part in front of her beside her, wiped the grease from her hands, and walked outside.
"Well, I'm back." Benson smiled calmly, "I brought two pieces of news, one of which is good news. ”
"Then the other one is bad news - let's talk about this news first." Melissa sighed and sat down at the table, and Benson smiled mysteriously:
"The time for my wedding with Ruth has been set, and it's tonight."
This is indeed good news...... Melissa raised her eyebrows, and she said to Benson:
"Then I'm afraid he won't be able to attend your wedding."
"Don't worry, little Melissa." Benson, who had always been calm, rarely looked like a young man, and showed a mischievous smile: "There is another good news, I didn't say that the other one has to be bad news." ”
"You...... Okay, okay, you can tell me any news. Melissa glanced at her brother a little speechlessly, he was not too young, how could he look like a child?
"Mr. Gorvey has sent me news that Klein is back." Benson smiled, "He finally has time to come back now, and it happens to be today, so I decided to make my wedding today." ”
"How can we forget our brothers on such days?"
As soon as Benson said this, it was not only Melissa who fell into a state of surprise at the same time, but also the expression of Benson's fiancée beside him changed:
Klein ...... Is that Crane? Two days ago I saw the canon of the Church of the Occult ......"
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before because I can't be sure." Benson said to his fiancée with a little apology, as if he was afraid that she would be angry: "Today, his friend told me that Klein is really an angel - an earth angel of the Mysterious Church!" ”
"Angel......" Melissa suddenly sighed, "Benson, you said we should call him Klein...... Or is it Him? ”
Benson opened his mouth, not knowing for a moment how to tell his sister about it. After all, he didn't know anything about angels.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in Silver City knew about the Extraordinary and the Sequence, they would probably not have been able to believe their ears.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. Ruth, who was on the side, looked at the two who were in silence, and took the initiative to get up and go to the door. She knew Benson well, and felt that this time should give them more time - even though her mind was also full of confusion and incredulity.
However, when Ruth opened the door, she saw a young man in an all-black gown, a top hat on his head, and a black cane in his hand. The young man had the same brown eyes as Benson, but he was much taller than Benson.
"Are you ......" Klein took a step back, holding back his divination - he wondered if Gao Wei couldn't have given him the wrong house number in this matter?
What's more, he had already learned about the situation of his family through Mr. "Sun" before he came, not to mention that he was really afraid that Gao Wei would give him a fake house number, this was indeed something he could do.
Ruth was a little puzzled: "Ruth Brooke - may I ask who you are?" This is the Moretti family. ”
"Ah, then it looks like I'm not wrong." Crane said in a gentle tone, arranging his top hat, "I'm Crane Moretti. ”
While Crane was talking to Ruth, Benson and Melissa, who were sitting in the living room, had noticed the movement at the door. Melissa gently covered her mouth with her own hand, and Benson greeted her with a smile:
"Klein! Welcome back, I have good news for you! ”
"Good news?" Klein looked at Ruth, who was standing beside Benson, and couldn't help but smile, already expecting it in his heart: "Don't you introduce me?" ”
Even though Crane's spiritual instincts had already told him the answer, he still asked Benson about it, ready to hear Benson tell him himself. And Benson puffed out his chest and said proudly:
"She's my fiancée—I heard you can only come for one day, so I scheduled my wedding to her tonight. As our family, you definitely want to attend. ”
Benson, have you found a wife...... Klein smiled at the corners of his mouth, "That's really good news, bless you, Benson." ”
As he said this, Crane's eyes drifted over Melissa with a smile. Melissa suddenly put down her hand covering her mouth, and crossed her hands on her waist: "I haven't got married yet - I'm still very early from the age of marriage." But Crane, do you have someone you like? ”
"Nope." Klein said stiffly, "I'm too busy right now......"
As they spoke, they walked inside, and Benson suddenly remembered what he had said to Ruth before, and asked with some seriousness, "Speaking of which...... Klein, are you really an angel? ”
How did Benson know? Klein was stunned for a moment, nodded and acknowledged: "That's right. But...... How did you find out about Benson? Gao Wei and what you said? ”
Neither Benson nor Melissa had received divinity, so it seemed that they wouldn't know what was going on to get crazier the higher they went up the Extraordinary Path—this was not the time to talk about it.
The thought crossed Crane's mind, and Benson nodded slowly. He seemed to sigh at him, and said as if with emotion:
"Klein, you're really a big guy now......"
In Benson's consciousness, the extraordinary people at the angelic level are the popes or popes of the church. They are the agents of the gods on earth.
Ruth, who was on the side, covered her mouth and screamed in surprise, and Benson explained:
"She is now a believer in 'mysteries...... Don't you know? Your name has been written in the Mystical Tome, and it took me a while to figure out that you really became an angel......"
Klein was stunned for a moment, thinking of some culprit.
"Let's not talk about this, I have a lot to say to you......"
In the midst of the conversation with his family, it was very early that evening, and Crane watched as Johnson and Ruth walked out of the church under the witness of the pastor, and a slight smile appeared on Crane's face.
Even though their wedding took place in the church of the Dark Night, Ruth didn't complain. Because among the people who attended their wedding were the angels of the Secret Church - until now Ruth's thoughts were a little confused, after all, the closest relatives of the legendary "Mystery", the "Angel of Death" turned out to be one of the members of her own family......
Fortunately, she didn't know that the "secret" of her belief was the gentle young man in front of her, otherwise it would be a fatal blow to her worldview.
Klein raised his head, his gaze met Melissa beside him again, and the gaze of the two became gentle in a moment, and Klein sighed:
"Time flies so fast......"
It's nice to be able to sit at Benson's wedding in the open, thanks to the barrier that the real creator and the high-dimensional seekers have put up here......
Otherwise, I'm worried about Benson and Melissa's safety, and I won't be here. There are no wars that the outside world has experienced here...... It's good, it's good. Klein thought silently in his heart.
Melissa on the side turned her head at the same time, and said to Klein with some concern:
"Crane - Speaking of which, now that you're an angel, can't you get married?"
Klein's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost choked on Melissa's words: "Not really—but not yet, ahem, Melissa, don't think about it." ”
"Okay." Melissa flattened her mouth: "Originally, several of my classmates who came here before wanted to meet you, but I'm afraid it won't work now." ”
"That's really hard for you......" Klein said a little speechlessly, looking at the gradually darkening night, he took out the box containing three crystal clear pendants from his arms:
"This is the amulet I made - let Benson prepare the ring. Hehe, I originally only prepared two, but in the afternoon I made another one, and this new one was for Benson's wife. ”
He placed the box containing the pendant in Melissa's hand as if offering a treasure, and Melissa looked at it:
"Hmm...... Klein, after you became an angel, you did a really good handwork. ”
Isn't that right? This is what I made directly...... Klein laughed in his heart, but then he heard Melissa's voice, and he was a little depressed for a while:
Sister, is it really so ugly what I made before? How do you remember that amulet I gave you earlier......
Melissa seemed to see what Crane was thinking, and nodded slowly.
Crane shook his head and laughed.
"When Benson's wedding is over, it's time for me to go."
Melissa looked at Klein and pursed her lips.
Are things related to gods dangerous...... Melissa didn't say this in the end, just waited for the wedding to end, and silently gave Klein a hug.
A meteor rose from the ground and streaked towards the sky.
God, please shelter Klein...... Melissa watched as Crane disappeared in front of the three of them, slowly praying in her heart to the four gods of Silver City.
She suddenly remembered that Crane was a "mysterious" angel, so she prayed to "mysterious" again.
——
Klein opened his eyes, surrounded by an empty starry sky.
The stars twinkle in the sky, like a sparkling ocean.
The explosion is completed, ask for a monthly pass! (Bang Bang Bang!) )
Next Monday, the Chinese New Year will be rewarded!
