Angel on earth

The newlyweds here have not set foot on their return journey, but Emerald City has already become lively.

Isabella stayed in the City of Oath for the time being, and when Harry's affairs were over, she had to rush back to Sun City.However, Maria came to the home of the Marquis Edwards again, with her young daughter Anna; as summer was approaching, Micah also excused illiteracy, turned down many jobs, and hid here for vacation, and Roberto was not allowed to inform her. isabella.

Gradually, Aaron also ran out every day or two. Sometimes he was invited to see a doctor for some small landlords, and sometimes he heard that there was a plague or collective food poisoning in a certain place, and he followed Mikhail to help.Lily couldn't go out alone, so she always tried to pester him. For some unknown reason, Aaron always quarreled with her and took her with him every time.

One day in mid-May, Aaron, Lily, and Cedric rushed back to the Emerald City again, just in time to attend the Ascension Sunday service on the second day and the Pentecost service eleven days later.

When I come back, I will naturally pass by the Church of the First Awakening.Aaron didn't make any money when he went out this time, and almost spent the travel expenses of the three of them. He just bought an amethyst from the patient surnamed Sharp, and for this reason, he bet Isabella's cross on his body to Cedric. Ke, and Lily had Catherine's emerald hanging around her neck, and he could only get it back when he returned to the Emerald City to pay back the money.

Unfortunately, Mikhail was trying on a dress for Pentecost.Originally, it was supposed to be dark red, to commemorate the image of the flame tongue of the descending Holy Spirit; but the tailor of the Emerald City didn’t know whether he was drunk or something, and took the wrong fabric, and it was like a flame burning on him now, tacky Too bad, but he couldn't see it himself. When the three of them entered the church, he was still asking the pastor and the nuns if they had got their respective gowns.

Lily laughed rudely.Aaron glared at her and said:

"What are you laughing at, those are the social dresses that Dad ordered for you during the New Year."

Lily opened her mouth, staring at the pile of shiny cloth on Mikhail's body, dumbfounded.

Aaron won the next game, raised his chin, went to talk to Mikhail for a while, gave him the amethyst, and called Lily and Cedric to go home.

Cedric asked him why he didn't remind the priest, but the brother and sister said in unison, "Why should I remind you?"

The devout trainee pastor took some hurt and didn't speak any more along the way.When Aaron said to Micah in disgust, "Why are you still here?", I felt even more blocked.

When they saw Micah, the latter was holding on to the outer wall of a watchtower. Hearing this, he made a shush gesture at them, and beckoned them to go over.Aaron and Lily looked at each other, and handed the reins to Cedric with a grin. Regardless of whether he could lead three horses by himself, with a bag on his back and a sword hanging, he climbed up the city wall skillfully and climbed to Micah. behind.

Micah's hiding place was not far from the top of the wall. When he saw them coming up, he jumped down too, leading them to hide in the shadow of the watchtower.The brothers and sisters followed his fingers and saw Maria on a flight of stairs not far away; she was arguing with the melancholy white-haired man opposite, who seemed to be her husband, Jonathan Bianchi, The chief musician of Lieyang City.

Micah whispered, "It's just the critical moment!"

Over there, Jonathan begged bitterly:

"Mary, Mary, I really didn't mean to say that kind of thing, I was just angry..."

"Do you still dare to do it on purpose?" Maria's eyes widened, and those brown eyes would turn into molten gold when excited, "Jonathan, I admit that I like your waywardness at certain times, but it's not you Reasons to hold on to Roberto all the time! My God, Anna is two years old, can you stop thinking about him?"

"When you gave birth to Anna..."

Jonathan muttered, as if a little aggrieved, Maria became even angrier:

"Do you have the face to say it? You are not there all day long, so why should I come here? How warm is Verus Island! It seems that you are the one who is pregnant!"

Jonathan was submissive, hesitant to speak.Micah explained in a low voice: "At that time, Maria had a bad temper and found fault with Jonathan. As you know, poets have a delicate heart..."

"There are so many things." Aaron commented mercilessly, "Women have big emotional ups and downs during pregnancy and before and after menstruation. First, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Second, he should also reflect on what he did to make Aunt Maria Angry. Mom is not easy to get angry."

Lily rolled her eyes: "It's as if you don't have much to do, today you will hide from Christine, tomorrow Laura likes Fred more, and the day after tomorrow it's not fun to come to me when you have nothing to do..."

"It's your fault for looking for me, Lily!" Aaron whispered.

Lily pushed him: "That's not the point, you idiot! Just marry your Father Mikhail!"

Aaron stuck out his tongue at her: "He is indeed prettier than you!"

Lily got stuck, and then quickly sneered: "Okay, you should find a better-looking one. Let me tell you, you are a slob with no ideals, and you don't want to get married because you are afraid of trouble."

Micah pointed to himself and said, "I am. Sihekiah always says I'm cute!"

Aaron sneered: "Mom also said Lily is cute!"

"Aaron! What do you mean?!" Lily screamed in a low voice.At this time, Micah's eyes were fixed, and he patted the shoulders of the two of them and cried out uncontrollably:

"Hello, hello."

"Keep your voice down, Micah! There are two saints over there."

"No, look over there. Is that your sister... what's her name, Patricia?"

Aaron froze for a moment, put his right hand on his eyes and looked to the other side, then his face changed drastically, he dropped his backpack, grabbed his sword, jumped off the city wall, and rushed towards the corner of the garden:

"Fred Hunter! I'm fucking killing you!"

Both Maria and Jonathan stopped, and Qi Qi leaned over the railing and looked at him.Lily kicked Micah's butt in a hurry, and the latter quickly swooped down from the city wall, landed lightly in front of Aaron, and grabbed him.

Aaron struggled and swung his unsheathed sword, roaring, "Let me go, I'm going to kill him!"

Patricia paled and stood aside with her lips covered in bewilderment.Fred Hunter hadn't expected Aaron to be back so early. Patricia told him it was just a few days before Pentecost.

Taking advantage of Patricia's intercession and Micah's entanglement with Aaron, Fred Hunter ran away.

When Mikhail got the notification and came out of the prayer room, Mika and Aaron were sitting back to back with bruised noses and faces. Another boy with white hair and red eyes and a rigid expression was sitting on the table beside him and was wiping his hands. sword,

The young priest caressed the tables and chairs of the chapel row by row, and the sound of footsteps echoed softly in the church.He has changed back to his usual black priest's uniform, and there is no difference between his gentle and calm tone and his clear and hearty voice as before:

"what happened?"

Micah shouted: "You two hit one, shameless!"

"Bronze Snake" snorted: "He can also be counted as combat power? You really embarrass the saints."

Aaron was furious and struggled: "I just fell to the ground and sprained my ankle!"

"Bronze Serpent" Aaron said: "No matter what, you must not kill people."

"How dare that guy hang Patricia and Laura at the same time!"

"Then you can't do such a shameful thing."

"What embarrassment? I am dueling with him upright, not a sneak attack."

The copper snake was also angry, put down the soft sword, and said:

"If I hadn't stopped Micah just now, you wouldn't have benefited from it, so why are you talking badly about me now?"

Micah pretended to be surprised: "Oh, little Aaron didn't say that what you just did was a sneak attack, why are you so guilty, Aaron?"

Aaron the copper snake blushed, gritted his teeth bitterly, and his knuckles cracked.

Aaron mumbled, "I didn't mention you again."

Mikhail sighed, and said: "Although it's not good to say that...But according to the world's opinion, the identity of the other party is really different from yours. You have lost your identity just by dating. And, from the public opinion , If you win, you are bullying others, and if you lose, you will embarrass the Edwards family, and it is not worth it anyway."

"Is it worth it? He killed both of them!" Aaron's anger that had just subsided suddenly flared up again, "I'm not Harry. He wants to inherit the family. How can I have so many things?"

Micah was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be the same? Then let's go, it's still early, how about killing him before dinner according to your ruthlessness just now?"

The copper snake sneered, slowly inserted the soft sword back into the copper snake scabbard wrapped around its left arm, and said in a strange way: "The saint ran to kill an earl's nephew, it's really promising, Micah."

Micah grimaced: "What's the matter, I'm two hundred years old, do you want to tell the Xixi family? Go tell him, my brother."

There is no word for "brother" in Norren or Iris, only "brother".Micah's last word was in the Red Moon dialect. Copper Snake didn't understand it at first, but when he figured it out, he gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

While speaking, Micah had already torn the rope, and the copper snake showed a look that couldn't bear to look directly at it.Mikhail poured a glass of water for each of the three, and Aaron took it and muttered:

"'Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. The water I give him will become a spring in him unto eternal life.'[10]"

Micah drank it down and said, "Then have another drink, Mikhail!"

Mikhail reached out and groped in his direction for a while, poured water into his cup accurately, and seeing that he had no intention of standing up, he went to bring a plate of snacks.

"...Why are you angry with me when you quarreled with the Xixi family?" The two of them sat on the table for a while, "Bronze Snake" Aaron whispered, "Besides, I didn't tell you the secret. "

Hearing this, Aaron put down the muffins that had just been brought to his mouth, and turned the fire around: "Haha, you actually ran out because you had a fight with your family!"

Micah made a gesture to kick him, stood up angrily, and said, "I don't care about you, bad Aaron!"

After speaking, the red-haired boy snatched the tray from the black-clothed priest, and ran away with those delicious snacks.

"Bronze Snake" Aaron drank the water slowly, thanked Mikhail, squeezed the center of his brows with a headache, and said goodbye and left.Probably to catch Micah.

Only then did Mikhail step forward to help Aaron and lead him into the prayer room to sit down.

Aaron wringed his fingers irritably, remembering that this opponent was not good, and tapped on the table like his father.

"Aaron." Mikhail called softly.

Aaron bit his lip, ran through his hair, and ignored him.

After a while, Aaron raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Mikhail, get ready. When I catch Fred Hunter and beat him up, I'll come to the ceremony."

He was talking about being baptized a second time, taking an oath to become a priest before God.

"Don't you also like Miss Hardy?" Mikhail said softly, his body casting a huge shadow on Aaron in the setting sun, "If you are afraid of ruining her reputation due to a duel, why not marry her?" Alright? Father God, this is my fault. I didn't tell you clearly because of... out of selfishness. Part of the reason why she accepted Mr. Hunter's pursuit was to test you. "

"I'm not stupid, Mikhail." The brown-haired boy's voice suddenly became low and hoarse, as if calling from the depths of hell, "Don't I know? But don't you know... I will never be like her Love her as much as I love her."

Mikhail was silent for a long time, and said dryly:

"It's different. If you married her, you'd love her with all your heart. That's what you are."

"Stop talking, Misha." Aaron said in a hoarse voice with drooping shoulders like a defeated dog, "It won't do anyone any good to keep talking."

"Why benefit? We came to this earth to redeem our sins."

"Well, then it's the wages of sin."

After a pause, Mikhail's voice suddenly became a little frightened:

"You called me 'Misha' just now?"

"Huh?" Aaron scratched his head blankly, "Really?"

"Why do you call me that?" Under the table, the priest's broad hands clenched the hem of his clothes.

"Hmm... the new Federal language." Aaron waved his hand, "I heard it when I was drinking at Sharp's house, but I can't remember clearly. ——In short, you will prepare well, right?"

"I can."

"Thanks then. See you in the evening, tonight, maybe tomorrow."

Aaron stood up, showing a bright smile, stepped on the stool and touched Mikhail's soft and smooth blond hair, jumped down and ran outside the church.

Not far from the roadside, Tristan Hardy was riding on a horse, waiting for him with two swords in his arms.

Only Mikhail couldn't see the semi-permanent willful expression on Master Aaron's face. First, he was really blind, and second, Aaron either smiled at him or turned his head away from him.

But Tristan Hardy couldn't think of it as a sign of a harmless, ordinary mood no matter how many times, especially when Aaron's stinky face seemed to suit him perfectly.

Tristan took another horse, and Aaron got on the horse, took the sword thrown by the opponent, and took a look:

"Damn it. You stole my father's sword!"

"You're going to avenge your sister and my sister." Tristan said confidently, "Of course you have to be decent."

"Then do you want me to borrow clothes from Prince Charlie again?"

"Forget it. If you cry to Father Mikhail for another quarter of an hour, that guy Hunter will run out of the Emerald City."

The two talked and galloped forward with their horses' bellies clamped tightly. Aaron asked:

"Why the hell are you here?"

"Maybe it's the will of the sun god." Tristan said lazily, "It just happened to happen to me. Come on, Aaron, I support you!"

"You'll regret it," Aaron whispered.He suddenly felt a little cold, and threw off his coat when he was wrestling with Micah in the afternoon, and it was almost night now.

Tristan didn't hear clearly, and lowered his body on the horse's back to adapt to the faster speed:

"It's getting dark. Tell me, if we put him..." He gestured to Aaron immediately, thought for a while, and added, "There is a wave of waves that many old guys don't notice." I can't resist the tide, although my business has only started for a few years, I have already mastered its key points..."

"Can you speak a little human?"

"You don't fucking talk to us, Edwards. - I'm ready when Fred Hunter finds Laura. I'm going to make them bums as long as I live, Tell Fred to come to prostitute on my property... As for Fred, don't kill him, just make him crippled? Haha, I want him to watch the disaster he caused, and he can't die. Oh, what a pity Hunter The whole family is devout believers, they cannot commit suicide..."

Aaron suddenly put on a disgusted face again:

"Then I'm really a kind person. I can't justify it if the kingdom of heaven doesn't accept me."

"Oh, it doesn't matter what happens on earth." Tristan said with a smile, "As long as you have wealth and status, you can do bad things as much as you want, and the worst thing is to spend money to entrust a good priest to pray for you after you die."

Aaron didn't speak for a long time, and Tristan thought he was nervous, so he shut up and told him to prepare himself, whether it was about Fred or Laura.

The sky was completely dark, but the moon tonight was exceptionally bright, and it even seemed to be a little closer to the ground than before. The bright moonlight and the hoarfrost at night could not be distinguished from each other.

When they could see Fred Hunter's Berchter horse, Aaron straightened up and said coldly:

"Patricia is only 13!"

Fred Hunter's horse didn't know what was wrong, but it was getting slower and slower, and it was whining along the way.The two rode their horses to catch up, knocked down little Hunter with three punches and two kicks, tied him to Aaron's horse, and returned to the Church of the First Awakening.

At the destination, Tristan woke up like a dream: "Why the hell are you here? Kill him and let the big man give him a requiem mass?"

Aaron did not answer, and drew his sword against Fred Hunter's throat. The other party immediately stopped screaming, even stopped humming along the way, and begged: "Aaron, I didn't mean it, I broke up with Laura a long time ago, and Aunt Catherine would not want to see you do such a thing..."

Tristan kicked him: "Now you know how to beg for mercy? Why don't you think more about cheating Laura's money?"

"I have no money to lie to her!" Hunter argued, and suddenly became a little more confident, "It is true that I am only the earl's nephew and I will not inherit anything in the future, but you can't slander me like that! I just, just talk to Hardy Miss borrowed some money to do some good deeds. You two cannot understand people like us—”

"None of my business." Aaron moved the tip of the sword to his right hand. "You touched Patricia's breasts and buttocks with this hand."

Before the other party had time to say anything, a scream rushed out of his throat.Aaron pointed to his knee: "You are very good at riding. Did you take Laura out last month and cause her to break her leg on purpose? Just to take the opportunity to come to Emerald City to find Patricia. What kind of match do you think this is?" The process? They are all the children of the lord's younger brother, and the Edwards family is the Marquis."

Tristan couldn't help but glanced at him, because he also scolded Earl Hardy's family with this remark. Aaron used to be a bit mean at best, and never said such unkind words.

Aaron snapped Fred's ligaments and shattered his knee without causing him to bleed too much, and then moved up the point of the sword: "Is this mouth worthy of Laura and Patricia?"

Amid the dissuasion from "Lord of War" David, Aaron cut off Fred Hunter's tongue, picked him up and threw him into Tristan's arms: "Send him to the Emerald City. I still have something to do."

Tristan had a sense of foreboding, whether it was from the tall saint on the swiftly approaching Giant horse or from Aaron himself:

"Run, young master. The fuck is here to catch you!"

David has arrived.Aaron didn't even look at it. He dropped his father's sword and walked into the church without saying a word.

Tristan cursed, glanced at David, and left Fred Hunter, who was moaning, and followed him in.

Aaron washed his face at the door, walked through rows of long tables and benches, knelt down on both knees in front of the pulpit and under the sun cross, pressed his right hand on a copy of the "Sun God Book", and recited the oath fluently :

"O Mithra, the all-knowing and omnipotent sun-god...

"...

"From today onwards, I, Aaron Young Edwards, abandon the worldly desires, abandon the physical family and the enjoyment of money, and serve you and your temple wholeheartedly, only because your gospel can..."

Tristan rushed forward to grab him for questioning, the black-robed priest who was like a ghost and much taller than David stepped forward, grabbed his collar with one hand, and held a bucket of holy water in the other hand, waiting for Aaron to read After finishing the last sentence, he poured it all on the latter's head.But Tristan couldn't care less about anger now, because David stepped forward, looked up at Mikhail, and said:

"Unfortunately, I couldn't stop him. Aaron...he has the same name as Copper Snake. 'Bronze Snake' called me here to investigate you, and our number is insufficient. But now, I have to tell Edwards The young master will be punished for his deliberate injury and disability."

Mikhail opened his mouth and said calmly, "I am willing to obey the will of God the Father."

"There is no such thing as a nobleman in God the Father." David nodded, knelt down on one knee, looked into Aaron's eyes and said solemnly, "Brother Aaron, you are now a complete God the Father just like us I'm a servant of yours, and as a show of respect, I don't call you Master, but unfortunately, there is no commutation. I can only share the half of the time I didn't stop you-one thousand according to the law, and every forty minus Just a moment. Me too."

"Go ahead." Aaron stood up, rolled his eyes and began to undress, but his fingers trembled a little, "Don't let my parents know. I'm a priest of the Sun God Church now, and it has nothing to do with them."

"Your respect and love for your parents in the flesh is worthy of praise." David said a little indifferently, and walked to the podium that symbolized the Ark of the Covenant and took out a long whip that was stained with the blood of an unknown number of believers.

Tristan was already getting scared, Mikhail thought for a while, then stretched out his hand seriously and said, "Let's sterilize first."

David agreed.

·

— Aaron woke up in pain.

On the one hand, it was the whip wounds on his back and legs, and on the other hand, the hard bed board under him really hurt him.

The bed is a typical hard board bed in a monastery, narrow and short. Fortunately, Aaron is only 16 years old and can barely stretch his legs.It is hard to imagine how those ascetic monks of the Flagellation sect lived.

He felt nauseous, the wound on his back hurt like a fire, and the coolness after applying the ointment was even more fatal.A moan was about to rush out of the throat, and a head of light blonde, sunny blond hair in late spring morning came into view.

Aaron closed his mouth and looked at Mikhail for the first time with that unhappy expression.When he was expressionless, he seemed to be frowning and pursing his mouth, but now he is completely unhappy.

He didn't speak, but Mikhail still noticed him awake with the excellent hearing peculiar to blind people, blinked and said:

"Jonathan was also fined. He said he had already seen that Fred Hunter was not a good man and tampered with the horse. Maria and David had a fight, at least, uh, Her Majesty Maria Made it up with Mr. Jonathan."

"It's none of my business. Anyway, David will be beaten by Isabella when he goes back, and I won't lose." Aaron said sullenly.After a while, I still couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?"

"Well, I accidentally knocked over the tabernacle, I can't see it," said Mikhail. "You have to stay here for a few days. Lily will be here in the afternoon. Harry is already on the way, but this matter You can't hide it from your parents for too long."

Mikhail was lying on the two cots next to him, his back covered with ointment.No matter how many years have passed, from Aaron's seven years old to 16 years old, the priest has not changed at all, as if he has stopped forever before he grows up, even the bones and muscles are the same, and he will always have the smoothness and softness of a teenager , full of vitality, and just the right amount of greenness.

"Liar." Aaron wrinkled his nose, "You took it for me. I can't remember when I count to 230 two."

The blind young priest sighed:

"You said it yourself. It's no good for anyone to talk about this kind of thing."

Aaron was silent.

Mikhail turned his face sideways, lying on his beautiful, white and slender arms.Those blue-purple eyes without pupils, like morning stars and morning mist, turned in the direction of Aaron, and an unpolished amethyst with some blues hung from his neck, lying on one side, emitting the same brilliance .

"I was dismissed," he said. "To be forgiven, I had to preach and build a church in the Badlands. I chose Ikolapondi, and the first stop was the Flood Plain."

"Oh, I know." Aaron said sullenly. "There is plague after flood and drought. You need a good doctor."

The author says:

[10] John 4:14

I’m afraid of misunderstanding, so I’ll explain it (I forgot whether there was an explanation before). In the Old Testament of the Bible, there is a scene in which Aaron raised the bronze snake staff given by God and people were saved.But in fact, the Bible forbids idolatry. God punished the people who made copper snakes to worship. In Kings, Xi Hejia got God’s favor because he smashed the bronze snake statue in the kingdom.The protagonist Aaron, a religious doctor, chose an auspicious name in the scriptures, which is analogous to Ai Shizhen and Ai Simiao (hey) In short, Micah will not dedicate 500 years of mana to any Japanese friendship, and will take the initiative to descend. Analogy ***, this is a typical crab leg, everyone should pay attention (knock on the blackboard)

The next section will end this chapter, and strive for less nonsense within 3k
