Xu Jun, this fellow, was extremely despicable. He actually started chatting with that feminine man ostentatiously, not paying attention to Ti Na's mood. Ti Na sat on his tall chair, which he discovered, to his surprise, could spin. Thus, he happily spun around a few times and had the notion that the sand leopard tribe should also get a few more of these chairs. These chairs were really fun to play with.
Xu Jun just kept an eye on him. After ascertaining that Ti Na would not fall off, he turned around.
Ti Na poked Xu Jun's elbow. "Hey! I'm thirsty, I want water!"
Before Xu Jun could even respond, the hateful sissy spoke out. "Why is this child so rude? Didn't his family teach him any manners?"
Ti Na retorted, "…hateful sissy!!!"
Muffled laughter came from all sides of the bar.
Immediately, Holy Son Daeniste's expression changed. He looked as if he wanted to release a Judgement of Divine Light or the like upon the small beastman's head. This time, Ti Na went with his instincts, and felt fearful once again. Xu Jun quickly smoothed things over, "Small children say a lot of nasty things. He probably just has a dirty mouth. Don't be angry now, don't be angry."
Ti Na quietly rebutted, "Whose mouth is dirty…"
Then he heard Xu Jun continue on to say, "There's no other way. Let's burn him with a torch. I hear that children burned by divine fire are extremely obedient."
Ti Na: "…" That's not called being obedient! That's called being dead! These adults are cruel and despicable! Ahhh!
Daeniste let out a small "puchi" of laughter, his eyes glowing. He shook his head. "You're still the same as before." Even when dealing with naïve, little brats, Xu Jun wouldn't treat them with more kindness than normal. This kind of person who loved to scare others and spank little brats could actually become the Hero… this was truly a disaster for little brats across the continent.
Xu Jun wasn't sure what Daeniste meant. "Really? I was also this reliable before?"
Oh, even his narcissism is the same as before.
The two idled around for a while, seeming as if there wasn't much to say. Before they had met, Daeniste had thought about what he would say to Xu Jun. Would he pull the other into the Pope's faction? Would he desperately spout out the Elder Circle's dark secrets? Would they perhaps reminisce about the past, lamenting how the fleeting, evening sun was like their lost youth? Else, he could ask Xu Jun how exactly he killed the Demon King…but these topics seemed more suitable to discuss in a quiet place meant for official business, and not here, in a raucous pub that smelled of liquor.
Xu Jun was suitable for this place.
He asked for two fruit wines. A glass of juice was requested for the small beastman Ti Na. The bartender said with a hint of ridicule: "Coming to a pub yet not drinking liquor, are you even a man." Xu Jun just smiled and said he had no money and that he would invite everyone for a drink once he had money. Ti Na twisted around on his chair. Like a monkey, he was unable to sit still. When he accidentally fell off, Xu Jun, while fishing up Ti Na, replied to Daeniste, "Daeniste, you haven't changed much either," He was used to life with this messy and noisy life with the small child.
He was not one to enter power struggles, nor was he a righteous hero.
Therefore… Holy Son Daeniste patted Xu Jun's hand. "Don't join any of the factions Xu Jun. Right now, everyone wants to get ahold of you. Ignore them; they are a group of vulgar, stupid fucks."
Outside, Nar fin ally tied up the two perverted white horses. No longer worried that the two undisciplined fellows would do something that would damage the Bright God Church's majestic image, Nar entered the pub. At the pub's entrance, he saw two idlers fooling around. One said that a great beauty had just entered the pub. The other replied that such a beauty must definitely be a mistress. What beauty, isn't it just a prostitute. Nar frowned, thinking that that he shouldn't have let the pure and innocent His Highness the Holy Son enter this kind of place.
His Highness the Holy Son was as pure as a blank sheet of paper! Even Nar himself was often worried about acting imprudent before him. How did these idlers dare to speak of such things when in the same area as His Highness the Holy Son?
As he made his first step into the pub, he just happened to hear the great, pure, and innocent His Highness the Holy Son, whose greatest desire was to promote the Bright God Church, genuinely and sincerely say to his childhood friend, "Even if the Bright God Church's people try to win you over, just ignore them. Not many of them are good people. The thoughts in their brains aren't much better than what stallions think when they see a mare."
Nar: "You Highness, you…"
He heard the sound of his heart shattering.
The Golden Knight felt his heart was oh so cold.
For a moment, His Highness Demon King Rozenke didn't know whether to praise this Holy Son Daeniste as an enlightened person, or if he should feel pity for the Bright God Church: for even the Holy Son to be saying such things, was it really alright?! He couldn't help but become suspicious; did his capable subordinates also spread slander such as: "the Demon King isn't anything good," or something along those lines?
…Wait a second; a demon king really isn't anything good.
Rozenke's mind became tangled. Thus, he just decided to continue pitying that Guardian Knight Nar. After all, Nar's speechlessness…he could relate to it.
After all, Xu Jun, this fellow, often angered him similarly—the Demon King in his spirit form clutched at his chest, his heart smoldering with bitter hate.
When Nar found out that the Holy Son could say "fucking cool," he felt bitter in his heart, but when he discovered that the Holy Son actually said "stallion"1, he began to doubt the meaning of life. He started to doubt if he was following the real Holy Son. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the esteemed Holy Son say something even more rebellious: he openly talked to the Hero about the Bright God Church's corruption. He even told the Hero that the Bright God Church was untrustworthy—Your Highness the Holy Son, whose side are you on?!
Although…even Nar himself couldn't, with a good conscience, tell others that everyone in the Bright God Church are good people, nor that the Bright God Church was the best.
He obviously had a great understanding about the Church's darkness. Sometimes, those who believe in the Bright God are a hundred times worse than the average person.
However…Your Highess the Holy Son, this isn't something you are supposed to understand or speak of!
Thankfully, their voices were small enough that others didn't hear them.
However, Nar lamented over how the Hero Xu Jun, who should've been pulled into the Pope's faction, had been easily let go of by His Highness the Holy Son. As a subordinate, he couldn't refute, so what could he do. He too, was depressed.
"So, where will you be going next?" Hero Xu Jun asked Holy Son Daeniste.
The Holy Son elegantly yet coquettishly tossed his hair. "That would depend on you. The mission His Highness the Pope gave me was to pull you over to his side. If you're willing to act along with me, then we could go to him together. However, if you're not willing… I 'll go pay a visit to the Holy Light Fairies' Dreamland. Right now is when they collect the resin from the Illuminated Cloud Tree! -And I could take care of some diplomatic matters along the way."
–So diplomatic matters are secondary!!!
The frightening thing was, besides Demon King Rozenke and the Golden Knight Nar, the other two adults in the room, who should've had normal IQs, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this.
Xu Jun even hooked his arm over Daeniste's shoulder. "Oh, not bad, The Holy Light Fairies2 also produce golden honey and floral wine. I had the fortune of trying it once, it really makes one's mouth water—cough, I mean, as a medicine it's very effective."
–Who would believe you!!!
However, it had been decided. In order to establish a friendly relationship between the Holy Light Fairies and the Bright God Church, and for Xu Jun's future prospects, they would definitely travel together.
Still, whether it was Demon King Rozenke or Golden Knight Nar, they both didn't wish for these two to continue staying together…
The author has something to say:
Demon King Rozenke: You two should split up, seriously…
Golden Knight Nar: It seems I have reached a consensus with the one above.
Thus… the two hilarious idiots started a friendly relationship between the two powers. LOLLLLL
