gems and stars

It was early in the morning when the group arrived at the capital, and the sun hadn't fully risen yet, only a few rays of sunlight pierced through the early morning fog and projected on the city wall of the capital.The soldiers guarding the city gate saw the signs of the temple on the carriage and their costumes, so they stepped aside and gave way, with devout respect written on their faces.

The carriages of Evner and Start were mixed in the team without additional inspection, and they followed Elijah's convoy to their destination.

Ivna in the carriage had just woken up not long ago. Hearing that he had already entered the capital, he hurriedly got up from the blanket and lifted up the small curtain to look out.Because it was still morning, there were not many people on the street, the sound of carriages moving on the stone road was very clear, the doors of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and some people who entered the city from the outside hurriedly went to nowhere.

The current road is called "Central Avenue", leading from the city gate all the way to the central temple. It can be seen that on this continent, the power of religion is far higher than that of the royal family. "Central Avenue" can be described as the widest road in the entire continent, allowing six carriages to pass at the same time. The decorative plants on the roadside come from all over the continent, and some plants that are not acclimatized here are even maintained by special magicians.Architecture is also elegant as a frozen art.

As Evner, who came to the capital for the first time, naturally looked around in amazement, and exclaimed "Wow" from time to time.Evner has spent all her life in small and medium-sized towns or in nature, and has never seen such a magnificent big city.

Start was awakened by Evner's movement.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the little master clinging to the wall, his whole head was about to stick out of the window.Ivna didn't know what he saw, but there was another exclamation. He was afraid that his voice would be too loud to disturb Start, so he covered his mouth with his hand and looked back quietly.

Starter's face suddenly appeared in his line of sight and was magnified several times. A pair of different pupils were particularly eye-catching, and he was looking at him with a smile.Evner's face turned red all of a sudden, and there was a hazy beauty in the weak light of the morning.He sighed, "You woke up early..."

"Yeah. I was woken up by the sound of a small animal." Start pretended to be angry on purpose.

"I'll give you my dried strawberries." Evner said cautiously.

Seeing Evner's pained face, Start thought it was funny and stopped the action he was going to take: "I just want this compensation." He leaned down and pressed Evner's lips, by the way He swiped his tongue into his mouth and exited satisfied.

After the occasional "predation" by State along the way, Evner has become accustomed to this sudden intimacy from being stunned at the beginning.Isn't the final ending of the prince and princess in the storybook hugging and kissing together like this?Start said last time that he likes him like a prince and a princess, so it's no surprise that they are like this.

Even sometimes when Evner is happy, she will take the initiative to kiss Start, and carefully try to stick her tongue into Start's mouth.Back when Starter was a pure Muppet, Evner would often kiss the corner of the Muppet's mouth, the way a mother kisses a baby.And one day, Stat told him that that kind of liking was an ordinary liking, and the liking between them was a liking that could be put into each other's mouths.

Evner was so intimidated that he obediently complied once.He felt that after doing this, the original happiness seemed to be doubled and sweetened, so he would consciously imitate Start every time in the future.Stater is naturally happy to see it happen.

Seeing that Start was no longer angry, Evner turned around and continued to observe the outside world.

The carriage walked like this for about ten minutes, and stopped in front of a huge white building.After Sal led Elijah out of the carriage, he went to call Ivna according to the adults' instructions.Although he was dissatisfied, he still dutifully brought Ivna and Start to the front of the line, beside Lord Elijah.

The person who appeared under the majestic yet delicate door was the paladin Oden, who was wearing the paladin's exclusive costume, and his blond hair was combed back meticulously, which made his facial features appear more profound.Auden was taken aback when he saw Ivna. He had previously thought that he looked a bit like His Highness the Son of God, but when they stood together, they became even more alike.

He calmed down his emotions, bent down and saluted, "Welcome to Your Highness the Son of Heaven."

A group of clergymen behind him also said in unison: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Holy Son." The voice was quiet but it did not lose its momentum in the silent morning.

It was only then that Evner realized that Elijah's identity was so great, and he didn't know how to put on his expression for a while.In his memory, the biggest official he has ever seen was the public official who came to his stepparents' house to collect taxes when he was young. The boy in front of him who looked not a few years older than him was actually the most famous person in this continent. His Royal Highness the Son of God who is on an equal footing.

Starter looked calm, as if he already knew about it.

Elijah nodded to Auden and said, "Let's talk in detail after entering the palace."

The group dispersed in an orderly manner, and the servants entered the temple through the side entrance with the carriage, while Evna and Stat followed Elijah and entered directly through the main gate.

The central sanctuary is not a single building, but a group of buildings with a very large area. It is located in the very center of the capital, with the palace not far to the right and the most famous academy of magic in the continent to the left.All the building materials of the temple are white, some corners or details are decorated with gold, and the windows are the same as the general local temples, which are transparent colored windows, describing the story of God and the mainland.The whole is clean and flawless without being too monotonous. It can be called the most beautiful building complex in the world.

The palace of the Demon Race may be the only building that can match this place, where the main color is black, but because very few people have seen it with their own eyes, people can only peep from the legend.

Elijah first took the two of them to a spacious bedroom, and after a few instructions, he and Auden went to the meeting hall to report to the bishops what they had gained from the trip.

Evner and Start were left in this luxuriously decorated bedroom.The patterns painted on the curtains, pillows, carpets, and quilts in this bedroom are actually spell patterns in the magic of light, which made Start feel a little uncomfortable. This whole place made him feel uncomfortable from the demon race. Comfortable.

Evner didn't seem to be feeling well, and started browsing in front of the bookcase in this bedroom.

"Evner, are you alright?"

"No." Evner looked back and saw Start's slightly frowning brows, and stepped forward worriedly.In his impression, State has always been calm and composed, and this is the first time he has seen him like this.He brought Stata to the bed, let him lie down, gently lay on his body, wrapped his arms around him, and complained in a low voice: "Ivna has grown so big that I can't even hug him."

Then he said, "It'll be better if you sleep on it."

Therefore, when Elijah and Auden opened the bedroom door, they saw the scene of the two lying on the bed hugging and sleeping.Auden subconsciously looked at Elijah, and as expected, His Royal Highness Son's face darkened a lot.

On the way to the bedroom just now, the two discussed Ivner for a while.Although Evner, as a black magician, entered the central temple with such a powerful light force, he did not have any obvious adverse reactions. Coupled with his similar appearance to Elijah, it is suspected that he is very likely to be related to Elijah. There is a kinship relationship, so it also has a rare attribute between light and darkness.

And the Stat beside him obviously does not belong to the light side, so it can only be speculated that this person's dark power is very powerful, which is not common in the entire demon race.

Elijah, who was 90.00% sure that Evner was his younger brother, was naturally depressed and irritable when he saw him staying with the demons he hated.

"Evner, wake up, it's time for lunch."

"So..." Evna vaguely saw Elijah's figure, and subconsciously remembered Elijah's special instructions last time, and called out, "Brother."

Elijah thought that Ivna would call him "Your Highness" and other unfamiliar words, but he was very happy when he heard "Brother".Evner was a very obedient child, Elijah smiled and rubbed his head.If it wasn't for the demon next to him... He caught a glimpse of Start, who was holding Ivna, and his face darkened again.

The paladin at the side witnessed Elijah's rapid face-changing process, and couldn't bear to look directly at him and turned around.

These two seem to be real brothers. Elijah has been the son of God for so long, but he has not matured much.In Auden's eyes, Evner was just a naive and defenseless child.

The author has something to say: slightly revise the format of the first few chapters today.
