Introduction:

September 9872, 9 in the continental calendar

Adrian Clancy, the first demigod and space mage in the Nutaier continent for nearly ten thousand years, died at the age of 690 at the hands of his lover, the Duke of Serrell Clancy.

September 10272, 9 in the continental calendar

Adrian Farien, the legitimate son of the Duke of Farien, was born. Due to his congenital frailty, he was "coddled" since he was a child in the Duke's Mansion of the Imperial Capital. He was dubbed "Farrian's Canary".

A wrong sentiment, a long-planned conspiracy,

Let Adrian, who was No. 1 in the mainland and should have an endless lifespan, finally die in the hands of his most beloved apprentice.

400 years later, when the soul that should have dissipated was revived as the legitimate son of Duke Farien,

The "teacher killer" Serrell Clancy, who was once regarded as the glory of Vatican, is already a generation of devils and public enemies of the mainland that are enough to make people silent;

The "victim" back then was torn down from the altar of innocence in the passage of time, and became a pedophile despised by everyone on the mainland.

For Adrian, who was unexpectedly reborn, it is not a difficult problem to be ordinary or return to the peak;

The really difficult thing is when he finally decides to let go of that simple love that is constantly being insulted and trampled on,

But he finds that his fate is still tightly entwined with his "apprentice", and it is inseparable.

Two identities, two faces, the same is the soul that still firmly pulls his whole mind,

And the same excruciating insecurities and repeated temptations.

Faced with everything that is constantly being cut and messed up, and living a new life, can the boundary between family and love be kept?

Even he who was No.1 in the mainland is helpless...

Minesweeper note:

To put it simply, it is a story about the entanglement between the master and the apprentice.

The apprentice is a little stupid and scumbag in the early stage, but a perverted and loyal dog in the later stage;

The master has focused on pampering for hundreds of years (what), entangled in family affection and love.

The soul is 1V1, the body is 1V2, and one soul of the apprentice controls the body and the clone at the same time (the consciousness is shared, everyone can use the clone as a body massage stick (hey))

In terms of pairing, they attack each other as usual, but because the apprentice uses two bodies at the same time, all kinds of permutations and combinations are...well, you understand.

(But there is no disciple who learns by himself! A good cucumber and a good chrysanthemum must of course be dedicated to the favorite master)

prelude

Draciel, the capital of the Vatican Empire, the most powerful country in the Nutel Continent.

As one of the most famous cities on the entire continent, although the night of De La Chaer is not as colorful and luxurious as the commercial capital of Kemoqi, it undoubtedly has the most beautiful and charming city night scene recognized on the entire continent—from running through The Frank Avenue in the middle of the capital passes through the Victory Square in front of the Royal City, and then extends westward to the Martin Hills where nobles live. Along the road, there are crystal street lamps that change color with time. Dotted with lights, the gorgeous mansions with their own characteristics are particularly dazzling and charming.

The setting of the night light originated from a decree issued by Aland I, the acting monarch of the Vatican Empire, 800 years ago.The original purpose was only to improve the security at night in the capital—this is also the reason why the Jingshi Street Lighting Club extended from the main road to the Martin District—but unknowingly it became another way for the nobles to compare their wealth and heritage A tool, or even a status symbol.As a result, the martin district at night has been bustling day by day for hundreds of years, and its splendor is even worse than that of Kemoqi, the actual city that never sleeps; but the east of the city is separated from Victory Square and Facing each other, the Shapawei District, which is mainly populated by civilians and wealthy gentry, is always in darkness after nightfall, and even the self-financing to set up spar street lamps has not been officially approved for a long time.

──Until today.

The mainland calendar is June 9873, 9.

This is a day destined to be recorded in the history books.

On this day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the sundial disappeared, and the warm spar lights gradually lit up from the Farland Avenue to the Imperial City, but it was no longer unbalanced as before, passing through the Victory Square and only going to the city. The Martin District on the west side extends, but spreads out symmetrically to both sides... across both sides of Kant Avenue in the Xiapawei District, the bustling road tree flower beds and exquisite but unobtrusive The spar street lamps stand scattered along the road, lined with countless colorful satins dotted in between, creating a gorgeous scenery that is different from the style of Martin District but not inferior.

And all of this came from scratch, but it was just a scene of one night.

because of one person.

Adrian Clancy, the rarest space mage among the various factions of the legal system, is also the only existing demigod-level powerhouse on the mainland.

According to the records of the dragon clan, in the ancient times, which is now almost like a myth, Nutaier Continent once had the glory of "holy ranks everywhere, legends everywhere".It’s just that after the Battle of the Gods, the elemental riots and the loss of inheritance have greatly increased the difficulty of training for all races on the mainland. "Legendary" has become a bottleneck that has killed countless geniuses, so that for nearly ten thousand years, it can only be counted in the past. Mid-to-high-level legendary masters have become the peak combat power on the Nutaier continent; and the semi-god or even god-level realm above this has been untouched by no one for a long time and has only existed in historical books. s legend.

──Until Adrian Clancy broke through the realm of legend in a war 200 years ago and successfully promoted to demigod.

It was the golden age of the orcs at that time. Sitting on five legendary powerhouses, they were equivalent to nearly two-fifths of the peak combat power on the mainland. The empire invaded.

Although Vatican is the largest country of human beings, there are only two legends, and one of them unfortunately fell under the siege of three legends of orcs at the beginning of the war. The difference in strength between the two sides naturally increased.In just two months, the orc army had captured one-third of Vatican, and soon they would come to the capital of the first human king at that time, the city of De La Chaer... In this case, although Adrian The city-state of Hyde, which was born in a deep vengeance with the Vatican Empire, took the initiative to ask for the safety of the entire human race to guard De La Xiaer, using its own attainments in the power of space to restrain and resist the attack of the orcs, and at the same time coordinate, Send the rest of the Terran legends to come to support in turn without causing the rear air-raid shelter.

The battle, known as the Siege of De La Chal, lasted for four months.During this period, Adrian, who was the core of the defense, never had to relax for a moment, but he also got the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, and finally advanced brazenly in another strong attack organized by the five legendary orcs, becoming Nutaier The first demigod on the mainland for nearly ten thousand years.

Then, with just a raise of the hand, everything was over.

──Including the five orc legends, the orc army participating in the siege didn't even have a chance to react, and they turned into powder the moment Adrian made a move.

In front of the demigod who has already touched the "rules", the "field" that the legendary powerhouse relies on is no different from paper; what's more, what this demigod masters is the power of space, and he has already mastered it when he was still in the legendary realm. Is it a relatively heaven-defying existence among masters of the same level?As a result, a war that could have lasted for a long time became no suspense; and the eyes of the various clan forces, which were originally focused on the war, were shifted to this super master who completely broke the balance of the entire Nutaier continent .

Among them, the legendary master who has been regarded as the pinnacle of the Nutaier continent for ten thousand years is especially important.

These people have been at the top of the entire continent for many years, and they have long been used to turning clouds and raining and looking down on them, but now they suddenly find that they have become ants that can be wiped out by others with a simple raise of their hands. For the strong who have been above hundreds of millions of people for many years, although Adrian's promotion made them feel like a sharp sword was hanging over their heads, it also meant that there was still more to come on the road of practice they thought they had reached the top of. further possibilities.Considering that space mages are known for their life-saving skills and that Adrian is a well-known scholar, they also stopped planning to use some special means—such as artifacts left over from ancient times—to ambush them. On the one hand, he accepts his fate and accepts the reality, on the other hand, he turns to himself, and also seeks the possibility of further breaking through his own boundaries.

And the instigator who disturbed the pool of spring water, just as those old opponents expected, returned to his mage tower quietly after the siege, and, as always, closed the door to do research and explore the world Mysterious life.

──Although in the eyes of countless people, it is not an exaggeration to call him a "God".

So after 200 years, when the people of De La Chaer learned that Princess Gillian, known as the Pearl of Vatican, would be with Duke Serrell Clancy, a 21-year-old ninth-level space mage, at the same time He is also the only descendant of the space demigod Adrian Clancy──When they got engaged, they were undoubtedly extremely surprised, excited and proud.

And this kind of mood, but also saw one of the congratulatory gifts prepared by this demigod powerhouse for his apprentices——the one in the Xiapawei District, which was created from nothing in just one night, extending from Kant Avenue all the way to the end of Kelan The spar street lights of the West Duke's Mansion──then reached its peak.

The reason why Clancy’s Duke’s Mansion is located in the Shapaville District instead of the Martin District, where nobles live, is because the latter is narrow and crowded, and there is no vacant mansion that meets the status of a duke; The Duke of the West thinks he is quite talented in architecture, and he wants to use it from scratch to make good use of his talents to build a mansion that is completely his own... With his status, even if he doesn't live in Martin District , and don't worry about being excluded from the upper class like other new nobles.Therefore, this proud son of heaven with the strongest background in the entire Nutaier continent did not worry for too long, so he chose to settle his residence in the Shapawei District, which still has a lot of room for development.

And this is the main reason why Adrian, who has always spoiled his apprentice, gave the crystal street lamp as a gift.

Under the light of the spar that has already connected the east and west, the noble cars marked with the family emblem drove one after another from the Martin District to the Kant Avenue in the Shapawei District through the Victory Avenue; as the destination, Clancy There was a lot of traffic in front of the Duke's Mansion, and dozens of carriages were parked side by side on the green field. The battle was so big that anyone could tell that there must be a feast going on in the Duke's Mansion.

that's the truth.

Witnessed by more than a dozen top powerhouses from the mainland and princes and nobles from various countries, the Duke of Serrell Clancy and the first princess of the Vatican Empire, Gillian Mulder Kevann, were successfully married this afternoon; In the evening, it was the couple's wedding banquet.Due to the woman's royal status and the man's strong background in the whole continent, although most of the legendary powerhouses who attended the banquet only showed their faces, toasted a glass of wine and then excused themselves to leave, the scale and gold content of this wedding banquet was still enough to make everyone feel happy. Those who participated felt worth the price of admission.

Amidst the soft and melodious music, under the brilliant and dazzling crystal lights, men and women dressed in Chinese costumes gossip in groups of threes and twos, or enter the dance floor with their hands in hand to dance around and spin.In the huge banquet hall, singing and dancing are uplifting and people's voices are buzzing, and a glitzy scene of luxury and gold is intertwined in the dazzling and blurred lights.

Even though such noise and extravagance occupy it, it is only a small corner of the huge Duke's mansion.

Leaving the brightly lit and hustle and bustle of the main building, passing through the equally bright but sparsely populated corridor, what envelops the east wing of the Duke's Mansion, which is separated by a door, is a loneliness that is very different from the main building.There were no inadvertent visitors, no guards or maids on standby, just a single door separated the extravagance, vanity and hypocrisy represented by that feast.

──The "celebrating" atmosphere is the same.

Such a gap is not out of neglect or neglect, but from the completely opposite awe and respect.Because it is none other than the supporter and teacher of Duke Serrell Clancy, the demigod of space, Adrian Clancy, who is temporarily residing in the east wing.

For a space-type powerhouse who has the ability to control the movement of the entire De La Chaer, or even most of Vatican, this intention is obviously more formal than substantive.But at this moment, at this moment, looking at the fragrant clothes and the shadows of the banquet hall in the banquet hall of the hotel through the window, and feeling the quietness and tranquility around it, Adrian's heart is slightly warm and self-deprecating, and finally turned into There was a bitterness and complexity in the chest and throat that could not be wiped away.

The heart is warm because of the child's thoughtfulness and attention; the self-deprecation is because of the delusions in my heart that I haven't been able to really let go until now, and the escape caused by it.

No one knows, this afternoon, when he watched Serrell and Gillian make vows, exchange rings, and kiss each other in the palace, how much willpower he used to suppress and freeze everything and snatch people away Impulsive, and how much effort it took to force myself to give blessings to the two as elders with a smile.

The child who poured his countless efforts, held it in the palm of his hand and raised it with one hand, has a name and a family with another person from this day on... They can justly accompany and support each other hand in hand; And even though he still has the status of "teacher", he can only watch and guard the child silently, without any room for intervening.

No...not "never again"; as early as the beginning, when he picked up the infant child in the forest and decided to adopt him on a whim, it was doomed.

Because, to Serrell, he is a teacher who preaches and teaches, and also a father who is not bound by blood.

Master.

To this day, he still remembers that 17 years ago, when he first heard this strange name from a pink four-year-old baby who was not even at the height of his knees, his whole heart softened into a puddle of water joy and satisfaction.He still remembered how Serrell used his soft and tender voice to explain why he called him "Master" instead of "Teacher", and how he was delighted by this uniqueness.But when the soft, glutinous and pink children of the past grow into a handsome and handsome young man, beware that the pity and care originally called "father's love" gradually change in quality during getting along day and night, this "uniqueness" becomes It became a shackle, and with every call of Serrell with admiration and love, he told his unbearable and filthy.

──Because he, who is called a teacher but is actually a father, has such desires for the children he has raised and raised little by little from childhood to adulthood.

That way... longing for possession, longing to be locked up, longing for the child to be completely his own, and always only paying attention to and caring about his own desires.

Adrian doesn't know when this transformation started.

He also had days when he only regarded Serrell as his apprentice and his son; he had also imagined Serrell's family and career, and thought about whether he should bring the other party's children by his side to teach him like he did to Serrell... …But I don’t know when, but he gradually avoided touching these things subconsciously, and just immersed himself in every moment spent with each other, indulged in the focused gaze that only reflected his own figure in the pair of black pupils.

He began to hope that this kind of time spent together and this kind of concentration could last forever, and that it could truly become a part of his long life, not just a sigh of relief when he looked back thousands of years later.In addition to the pursuit of power and rules, this is the first time he wants to obtain and keep something so deeply, but when he realized this for the first time, he was shocked like a thunderbolt

──It was a very ordinary night.

That night, he nestled in the living room as usual, leaning against the spacious and comfortable single-seat sofa, took a casual book and started the short leisure time before evening meditation.The spar fireplace built in imitation of a traditional stove casts the entire living room into a dim yellow with a slightly ambiguous atmosphere, but it is also tinged with a bit of relaxing warmth and leisure.The comforting tranquility made it easy for him to immerse himself in the text in his palm, and the plush carpet in the living room also reduced the sound of objects falling to the ground, so he didn't wait until his hands were suddenly put on his shoulders, A heat source suddenly stuck to his cheeks, and he suddenly noticed the arrival of the other party.

──Of course, this defenselessness is also because he has long been used to the child's breath and closeness.

"Master, what are you looking at?" 』

Although the tone of the voice is still light and lively suitable for his age, the voice of the 15-year-old boy who has just changed his voice has lost its former greenness and brightness, and has transformed into a thick and seductive mellowness and magnetism like the night.The intimacy in the words and the warm breath fell on the ears together, making the elders who listened feel their hearts tremble, and a crispness suddenly spread from the spine to the four directions, and it took a lot of time. It took a lot of effort to take a deep breath to suppress the sudden strangeness, and pretended to calmly answer the boy's question:

""Aland I and his women". 』

"Well? 』

It seems that he did not expect such a title that sounded "serious" or "serious" to be heard. The young man choked slightly, then tightened his arms, put his head on the man's shoulder, and said with a narrow smile:

"Master also sees this kind of thing? 』

"It's just a satirical novel about current events under the banner of unofficial unofficial history.where do you want to go? 』

Knowing what the boy's weird smile that "men can understand" meant, Adrian tilted his head slightly to explain something angrily and funny, but he noticed that the lock of hair on the side of the other's cheek was still slightly damp Then it turned into helplessness.At present, he habitually turns around and draws the space, intending to get a towel to dry the hair of the apprentice who has committed an old problem again, but the face of the young man lying on his shoulder across the back of the chair, which catches his eyes, makes Traversing the world , The elder, who was supposed to be calm about everything, couldn't help being stunned.

──Probably because he came to look for him just after taking a bath, Serrell's half-length hair, which was still dripping with moisture, was softly attached to his ears, and water droplets dripped down his jet-black hair to his neck , making the white skin slightly stained honey-colored under the furnace light even more smooth and delicate, showing a bit of erotic beauty for a while.

The dim light in the living room was already a bit ambiguous, and the boy's pure black eyes that seemed to be able to capture the soul were clearly reflecting his own face. It was such a feeling that he was being watched wholeheartedly by the other party. The beauty of it made the elder, who had never felt such a strong attraction for a moment, almost fell into the quiet and dizzying atmosphere in front of him in an instant, and even leaned forward slightly involuntarily, facing the pair of eyes that were more charming than the night. Little by little, the pupils of the eyes were attached to the young man's slightly fluttering, moist and pink lips...

"Master...? 』

Until the mellow and intoxicating voice woke him up with that all-too-familiar appellation.

Realizing what the throbbing and desire that sprouted in his heart at this moment meant, although Adrian didn't show any clues on his face, he was already terrified.At that moment, the accompanying strong shame and self-blame made him unable to even continue to face the black jade-like shining eyes in front of him, so he could only cover up the boy's head with the towel he was holding in his hand in a hurry , Pretending to be nothing, wiped the half-dried strands of fine hair for the other party, and at the same time used this to cover the terrifying Mo Yuan.

"Why did you come out without drying your hair again?" 』

『Lazy──Anyway, the house is so warm and comfortable all year round, and I’m not afraid of catching a cold, so just do it naturally. 』

Unaware of the strangeness of the elder in front of him, the young man's voice was a bit unruly, lazy and soothing, but it also revealed an unusual intimacy and dependence invisibly:

『And if you use Master’s method, you won’t even need a towel at all. 』

"It's not that you don't need a towel, you think of Master as a towel—is my magic just to help you steal this laziness?" 』

"Don't be so stingy... Anyway, this is easier and more convenient than blinking for Master, isn't it? 』

"Then work hard and be self-reliant. 』

"...Master, it will take at least one or two hundred years for me to be self-reliant and self-improving to learn this trick, right?" 』

Expelling water vapor to dry wet hair may be just a beginner's trick in water magic; but to do this with space magic, it is only possible if you have mastered the legend of the "field"──Serrell thinks he is talented It's not too bad, but I don't think I can triple jump that level in a short time.After all, even Master was promoted from Dharma Sage to Legendary at the age of 160 years; the record for the youngest person to be promoted to Legendary in nearly 200 years was Master’s good friend, Uncle Sifa Sefis, who was [-] years old at that time... With his current Dharma Sage With no strength at all, saying "[-] years" is already considered an overconfidence.If it wasn't for a demigod master who looked down on the mainland, anyone who heard this sentence would only think that he was daydreaming.

But as an apprentice with such a brash "capital", Adrian did not doubt the feasibility of this sentence at all, and he knew better than anyone the determination contained in the boy's words-even if the head in front of him still gave that line Covered with a fluffy and soft towel, he could still imagine Serrell's expression now.

──The handsome and tough face that has gradually revealed a little bit of innocence in the youthful beauty, and a pair of eyes that are as dark as the night are shining with a bit of star-like wisdom and agility. But in the depths, there is determination, persistence and perseverance far beyond the appearance of age.

It was this that made him decide to raise this child as an inheritor eight years ago.

It's just that at the moment when the heart is sprouting, even a simple memory and imagination is enough to form a tantalizing fire---Adrian is so familiar with the child he raised with his own hands, so familiar that it is almost a blink of an eye Suddenly, countless lights and shadows of memories appeared one after another, which made his already chaotic heart even more restless. In a flash, he even pulled people in front of him and hugged him into his arms. The urge to kiss deeply under the gaze of the black pupil.

But after all, he did not, nor would he allow himself to do so.

"One 200 years? 』

Forcibly suppressing all the emotions that shouldn't be there, Adrian opened his mouth with a smile, and the silver-gray eyes that the boy couldn't see contained bitterness... "I thought you would be more confident Some. 』

『Uh, if you say less, then it is not called self-confidence, is it called excess self-confidence? 』

"how come?Haven't you ever thought about being green out of blue? 』

"Of course I thought about it.only……"

"Don't forget, there is one thing about you that I, as a master, couldn't match anyway. 』

"Um? 』

"A master who is a demigod. 』

"Master──"

Although it is clear that the elder's words are true, this kind of conclusion looks more like a joke to the young man, so he can't help prolonging his tone, half annoyed and half coquettish... Serrell is low and rich The magnetic voice already possesses a fascinating power, coupled with the indescribable intimacy between the words and attitudes, but every word and every syllable keeps tapping on the heartstrings, making Adrian a pair of The gray eyes darkened almost involuntarily, and it took a long time before he was able to calm down and dry his apprentice's hair.

Then, pretending to be calm, he forced himself to turn around, brought his eyes back to the book in his hand, and said the order to evict the guest in a flat voice:

"Okay, I want to read a book.Go back to your room when your hair is dry. 』

"Huh... is this book so good?"Master would usually be willing to play chess and chat with me, but today he would rather read a book and ignore me. 』

"Master also has something to do as a master... If you have time, go and review what you taught today a few more times. 』

"...Actually, Master, what you have in your hand is really 'that' novel, right?Otherwise, why would you be so eager to drive me away...Master, you don't love me anymore...』

As he spoke, he didn't realize how much impact his word "love" had on the elders. The young man still held up his upper body and wanted to poke his head to see if there was anything "unsuitable for children" in the book──Pull again The short distance made the space demigod, who was in a state of confusion, unable to hold back after all. With a thought, he threw Tudi back into the room forcibly, restoring the original tranquility of the living room.

But his state of mind could never return to the original peaceful and comfortable state.

──This confusion lasted for six years.

For a person who is nearly [-] years old and has an infinite life span, six years may be just a blink of an eye.But in the past six years, he watched the young man fade away bit by bit, and watched the child he held in the palm of his hand leave the nest and fly away. More complex and heartbreaking than ever before.

He has never cared so deeply about a person, and he has never had such a desire that he dared not have or could not have.

If the child was not brought up by himself, if he did not have such a bond of empathy with father and son, he might still have the possibility to pursue it because of that throbbing; Fetters, with his temperament, how could he care so much about a person, caring about the possibility of becoming emotional and lustful?It was those 20 or 20 years of getting along that made him truly put Serrell in his heart, but it was also the ties of these [-] or [-] years that stopped him from acting rashly and wishing.Because, no matter what kind of changes in the original simple family relationship, no matter what kind of differences in the way he looks at each other, Serrell is his child, his inheritor, and his treasure.

Even if it has been mixed with impurities, his thought of cherishing and loving Serel as a teacher and a father will not change.

So he finally chose to suppress and conceal.

No matter how bitter his heart is, he will only be Serrell's teacher and Serrell's father throughout his life, he will only be the child's most solid backer and safe haven, and he will never have any other identities.

So when Serrell decided to go out for adventure and experience, even though he was reluctant to give up, he only thought for a moment and chose to let go with bitterness and emotion, letting the young eagle who was destined to have a bright future leave the nest and spread its wings.

And Serrell never let him down.

With extraordinary luck and his own charm and talent, in just over a year, that child has become the most popular rising star in the mercenary world without revealing his background, and he even got to know him during the adventure. A group of acquaintances and friends with extraordinary abilities and identities—although still far behind the mountain of Adrian—has preliminarily mastered their own power and network of contacts.

Such behavior made him inevitably entered the attention list of various forces in the mainland; conspiracy and calculations, wooing and bribery also followed. .He was just step by step, step by step, so that his strength, demeanor, and calm but sharp image were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Until one countermeasure, Serel leapfrogged the spell and destroyed the orc's intention to subvert the law at the cost of injuries. Only then did he "accidentally" expose his backer who was actually stronger than anyone else, and seemingly inadvertently revealed his concealed identity at the most appropriate time.

The birth of Serrell Clancy is climactic enough without the embellishment of the bard.Every action and every decision of his is so natural yet interlocking, so that when he became a self-made force and initially got involved in the political game of the upper-level forces on the mainland, no one would regard him as just relying on him. Wan Kuo, whose master has become famous, is an opponent who has both strength and background, and is quite dreadful in terms of intelligence and scheming. He is a young lion who already has considerable intimidating power.

Today, in less than six years, the child has reached a position that is difficult for others to reach by relying on his own ability; and as the master, what Adrian has done is just guarding the mage tower as always. , while conducting research while silently paying attention to the safety of the other party.

Even though looking after them like this often means sadness and self-deprecating heartache.

──Just like now.

Even though he had realized it long ago, even though he knew that the child would eventually be farther and farther away from him under the barrier of time and time, it was still unavoidable that at this moment when he deeply realized all this again, his whole body was so painful that it was almost difficult to breathe.

Looking at the couple in the hall who left hand in hand with everyone toasting and blessing, the silver-haired elder swayed slightly, and finally turned his back unbearably, and walked away from the window- ─The thick velvet curtains on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows were instantly closed under the pull of some invisible force, completely cutting off the noise of light and shadow in the hotel; and Adrian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, became more and more distinct in this room. Zhong slumped down on the soft dark green sofa in the room.

The fine hair that is as dazzling as mithril hangs down and scattered; the clear face engraved with the traces of time is stained with depression... He sat motionless like a puppet with a broken thread, and the silver hair that was the same color as the hair The eyes are full of confusion that is different from the usual profound wisdom, let everything that has already become a fact linger in the chest, and carve scars on the atrium one after another.

Because of the various things that are about to happen in this museum at this moment.

──On the wedding night, what is the purpose of the couple saying goodbye to the guests and returning to the room, you can guess without much effort.

But Adrian would rather not know.

It's not that he doesn't know that the child has already completed the transformation from a boy to a man during the few years of going out for training; but how can the dewy love overnight compare with what is about to happen in front of him?The deepening suffocation in his chest made the demigod almost subconsciously raise his palms and tighten his front. After struggling for a moment, he put away the divine consciousness that had covered the entire Delaciar, and took out the treasure from the space. After many years, the bottle of rare dwarf wine that was said to be enough to make a dragon drunk, uncorked the bottle and took a sip.

──At this moment, compared to being an omniscient demigod, he wishes that he is just an ordinary old man who doesn't know anything .

Following the elder's rare rude behavior, the scorching liquor flowed from the throat down the esophagus and across the chest like a knife, making the old mage who was not used to these things feel as if his whole body was about to burn Generally speaking, not only did he not stop there, but he also masochistically swallowed it like an addiction.A little blush bloomed on the clear and pale face, and his mind also took on a bit of confusion that was similar to a negative state imposed on him, so that Adrian, who had been relying on self-control today so as not to lose his composure, finally It was the uncontrollable lips parted slightly, and whispered out the name that was pulling his mind and lingering in his heart all the time:

"Serrell...Serrell..."

The blurted voice was low, lingering but bitter.

He chewed the name over and over again, as if he wanted to express his unseen feelings, and also as if he was begging to keep the child who had already left him... The deep and hoarse voice was continuous The name was tightly woven like a mantra, but what was tightly bound was not the figure who was thinking about it, but the dirty and miserable self who was still mired in the quagmire...

──Until a deep, mellow but slightly ironic voice suddenly inserted into the seemingly endless call:

"Why do you have to act like this?"

Hearing that all-too-familiar voice, the elder trembled all over, his previously blurred and out-of-focus silver eyes froze instantly, and after seeing the slender figure in front of him who had no reason to appear here, he couldn't help but turn pale and panic suddenly sat up straight:

"Serrell...? You're not...why..."

"Shouldn't you be with Gillian? If that's what you want to ask... of course. But before you go with her,
