Angel on earth

"You just regret it, don't be so stubborn. You wanted revenge on the church more, you wanted the same kind, but you felt that Ashley couldn't handle it. Tristan knew this, so he asked to undergo transformation with Ashley. "

Aaron said irritably, "Hey, Candy Kane, what do you mean by that?"

"Interesting. I told you not to run away."

"I do not have."

The short woman raised her chin viciously: "You do. You know it's useless to lie to me, but you tell me anyway. You made yourself five centimeters taller, but that's Harry's height, not yours The clothes you wear are always Norren's popular style, and you like all emerald ornaments; black tea smells musty to you, which is not as good as flowers and herbs; the three-layer medicine chest you use is the regulation that your father likes, You should know that the once advanced Edwards Lancet is now obsolete!"

Aaron had no expression on his face, and he lowered his head and sucked hard on the cold smoke in his pipe.Candy Kane softened again: "Aaron, you've done enough. Why not live for yourself?"

The youthful vampire made a hoarse and tired voice, staring at the muddy snow behind the car with a pair of green eyes: "Live for yourself?"

"For example, go dancing with girls to your heart's content, cheat some blood and drink to your fullest, how many girls who have just entered the social scene but have not yet grown up can be fooled by your face? Or go to fall in love or something..."

Aaron sneered: "You haven't even been in a relationship yourself. What good is that?"

"I have ideals. But you need a little love." Kandy Kane said naturally, and a little sad, with a tone of pleading, "Don't die, Aaron. You have to live well."

"I will not die. I have revenge."

"Well, we're friends forever," Candy Kane said softly.

The two fell silent, and Aaron finished smoking two small bags of herbal medicine irritably, and sprinkled the ashes on the ground.

He said: "It's 'I'm going to kill Mithra' all the time, I don't know how Micah and Yana are friends with you."

"Friends! It's a good relationship to kill and set fire together!" Candy Kane said casually, "I hope you have a better life."

Aaron waved his hand and was about to say, "My muscles are just stiff and I can't laugh." Thinking of what Candy Kane said just now, he swallowed the words back and said, "Yes."

Candy Kane smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "A free prophecy! That day will definitely come, you have to wait for it!"

"Okay." Aaron nodded his head helplessly, "You're so annoying.—So, where are you going next? If it's related to the church, I can help kill some bishops."

"Don't be so cranky all the time, Aaron. You were so cute when you were little."

"I didn't know you when I was a child."

"Don't they know Micah? Besides, how do you know that I haven't been to the Emerald City?"

"Then why didn't you save me?"

Candy Kane froze.Aaron looked serious and serious, snorted and turned his head away.The witch froze for a moment, then clapped her hands happily: "Yes, that's it, Aaron! You have to be angry with others for yourself. However, as your good friend, I have to make an excuse: I was also in the dark cell at the time. Well, it can be said that I can't protect myself, I'm sorry."

Aaron bent his knees again and buried his face in it, not knowing whether he was blushing or sad.Candy Kane pats him softly on the back: "I haven't figured it out yet, maybe a few days as a farmer. I can't decide on a course of action until the dust settles on Mikhail Kupala. "

Aaron raised his head: "What's wrong with Mikhail?"

"His war with Mithras has begun. Pray to him if you want, and I will, but I won't ask anyone else to do that...We don't have the power to kill a second god."

"He can't even beat Micah!" Aaron raised his voice, "What are you thinking?!"

"Don't get excited, you care too much about him..." Candy Kane hooked his shoulder affectionately, "He can't beat Micah, why can't he beat Mithra? Didn't you beat Mithra too? ?"

Aaron's green eyes, one bright and one dark, widened and met her calm black eyes, neither of them would back down.Those dark round eyes seemed to have no pupils, just like Mikhail's.

The vampire's pale lips trembled, and finally he looked away, scratching his hair in a daze: "Really?"

"Have some confidence in him. He is the real son of God, not Mithra. A biting dog doesn't bark!"

"Hey, can you talk more normally? He's not a dog!" Aaron said, adding, "And he talks a lot."

Candy Kane burst out laughing, bent over with laughter, and Aaron couldn't help being amused by himself.

The witch said: "Anyway, you have to have some confidence in him. You have to meet again. You don't want him to really come and kill you."

Aaron was still talking hard, folded his arms and hummed: "Man is not created by God. He is just an idiot."

When the old coachman behind the straw pile heard this, he dragged his voice seriously, and said loudly and fullly like reciting poetry: "It is not the gods who created us, but our slavishness created the gods."[4]

Aaron turned his head in surprise, his eyes were blocked by the straw pile, and he turned back without insisting.Beside him, Candy Kane wiped his sweat against the bright, distant sun.

"In the beginning, there were gods in this world," she said.

"But regardless of whether those gods are good or bad, people's good days will come only when they leave this world. Instead, I would like to thank Mithra. Under his leadership, the church killed all other gods. I Just kill him one."

Aaron said, "Micah and Yana will hate you."

It doesn't sound like he really cares about Micah and Yana's love-hate relationship.

"There are many people who hate me in the world. If this could kill me, I would have died [-] million times, but unfortunately I can't. I will live to the day I kill Mithra." Candy Kane It was natural to say, "What's more, Micah and Yana might thank me."

"Why do you hate him so much?" There is enough doubt and even a sense of questioning in these words.

"Why do you believe in him?" Candy Kane asked back. "After all the persecution? As I said earlier, religion is a harmful thing, boy, don't take every good thing as a gift, let alone all Bad things can be regarded as a test before entering heaven. A person is born with a wealth of wealth, and he can take away [-]% of the hard work of others, and he can give away some scraps from it, and the workers should be grateful to him, and he becomes a saint; He is a good-natured person, hard-working and courageous, never does bad things, works sixteen hours a day, but cannot live on, his elderly mother starves to death, and is criticized by the society for being lazy and unfilial. Why? Don’t talk to God at this time. Pray, and ask Him why. The oppressed deserve to be submissive, because of some bullshit 'original sin'? Then, since everyone is a sinner who committed a capital crime in heaven, why don't you feel free to settle your hatred and settle it on earth!"

The witch said and waved her fist.Aaron laughed a bit: "You are so fierce."

"Didn't you do the same?" Candy Kane's dull eyes looked at him quietly, and Aaron saw his half body in it, like a dead lake.

Aaron pursed his lips and rummaged through his snack bag.Candy Kane is very shameless:

"Don't touch it, you're wearing gloves, you can't tell the difference."

Aaron said, "It's too cold. Your disguise is terrible, too."

"You can't say that, Master Edwards!" The remaining five people laughed, and the middle-aged woman in the bullock cart in front raised her voice, full of anger, "We are different from Candy, we are from decent farmers What's more, the guards and priests praised us for being hardworking and brave, and we are willing to come out to work in the winter, which is different from those moths who are lazy at home!"

"Why are they so stupid?" Aaron complained, "Is this the virtue of my enemy?"

Candy Kane: "Haven't they always been like this?"

"You are always so energetic." Aaron sighed, "Tell me to rest and rest, let me have a good sleep in the sun, and wake up to listen to your uprising speech."

"Poor Aaron!" she said.

Aaron retracted his knees, put his hat on his face, and muffled a slightly hoarse voice:

"One silver coin is quite a lot. Let's sing a song, Rabbi. I have also seen a mermaid. Let me see if the church's most wanted criminal is powerful, or the mermaid's singing is alluring."

"Liar, Jasmine didn't sing at all, this is the most worthless Slick silver coin, you lied to my prophecy. Bad Aaron! That will shorten your life!"

Candy Kane sighed deeply, bent his knees and deftly handed the silver coin into his hand.In such a cold weather, her little feet were cracked, but she didn't even wear a pair of stockings. When the wind blew, her thighs were bare and thin.

Aaron looked even colder, and complained: "I almost blinded myself when I treated your leg, and I didn't leave you with a single scar. Why don't you cherish it so much? Lose money!"

Candy Kane stared and shoved him.The two giggled, and Candy Kane said a spell, knocked on the medicine box, and pulled out a snow-white embroidered cloak, enough to wrap them both in it.

Aaron pressed the hat tightly against his face, as if that way Candy Kane wouldn't know he was blushing.The thin witch was at ease, her clear and high-pitched singing rippled around her:

"In that desolate ancient battlefield, a black crow sat on a cross,

Hazel bushes grow all around, tall and thick; amidst the chaotic grass, ancient shields are rusted.

If you walk straight, you will meet a fierce spirit, and you will never be able to return home.

If you walk to the right, you will lose your horse, and walk alone, hungry and tired;

As for the person walking to the left, death is waiting for him in the middle of the road! [5]”

The cloak was the one Misha dropped behind the narrow door, that is, the one at the beginning, and Aaron smelled it...
