hunting light

"When we were urgently called back to the imperial capital, my father suspected that something was wrong with the emperor's health. When we arrived at the imperial capital and had an audience with the emperor, my father confirmed his suspicion even more."

The fireworks show is over, but the carnival on the long street shows no signs of stopping.

Leon looked at the lights under the mountain and talked about it.

But Ian was a little tired.He has experienced too many things today, which has exceeded the limit of physical fitness.Once the spirit is relaxed, the tiredness can't wait to surge up, and the eyes are a little bit tight.

"How about I send you back to the monastery?" Leon felt distressed.

"It's okay." Ian gradually leaned his body on Leon's shoulder, "I promised to spend the whole night with you. It's very comfortable here...you continue."

Leon had no choice but to continue: "Then my father used some channels to investigate and confirmed his guess. The emperor has been ill for two or three years, and as his condition worsened, he finally decided to take the risk and take a prohibited operation."

"Is this news reliable?" Ian asked, "I thought your father's contacts in the imperial capital had all been wiped out by the emperor."

"Father said that his informant is quite reliable." Leon said, "I don't know the other person. It was my father who had been in contact with that person alone. The other party told us that the muscles and nerves of the emperor's whole body were necrotic, and his body was very weak. Soon to be paralyzed, die of suffocation, or organ failure. But there is no disease in his brain."

"So, he wants to change his body." Ian straightened up, frowning.

The technology of brain transplantation itself is quite mature, and humans have done countless experiments on animals.But this is always an operation that is strictly prohibited by the ethics committee and the Holy See.Only the powerful royal family would act so boldly.

"Yes." Leon held Ian's hand and comforted him silently, "I'm just one of the donors they selected. Originally I wasn't on the list. But after Crown Prince Raphael found out, the second son of Louis Once Andrew was the donor of choice, he looked around for a replacement and found me."

Ian was faintly sullen: "If the emperor really transplanted his brain into Andrew's body—no matter how absurd it is—then he is likely to pass the throne to Louis so that Andrew can inherit the throne in the future. can be emperor again."

"That's right." Leon smiled, "So I am the crown prince's savior. He tried his best to win over our family, praised and promoted me in front of the emperor, just to make the emperor choose me instead of Andrew."

"That's why you acted like a brat before?"

"Half." Leon grinned, his eyes gleaming mischievously, "I did it on purpose. But I was born with a bear, Ian. That's one of my unique personality charms. You should be better than others It's clearer."

"..." Ian recalled all kinds of unruliness of Leon when he was a child, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"Then why did you tear off your disguise today?" Ian was worried, "Do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Yes." Leon smiled, "Father said that we have been lying with the royal family for too long, and this matter needs to be resolved. He thinks the time is ripe, we have been passive enough, and it is time to take the initiative."

Ian looked at Leon.

The young man's profile is as handsome as a shaved one, his nose bone is clear and straight, his lips and chin are bent hard, like a blade out of its sheath.When he no longer had a playful smile on his face, that stern and solemn expression was revealed, which aroused awe and admiration.

At this time, Leon's perseverance, stability, and ambition are far beyond his actual age.

"Can I help you?" Ian felt guilty.

After he fell out of favor with Archbishop Xiali, he left Fryer again, and his resources were very scarce.And because of their low status, they couldn't even win a little support from the Holy See for Leon and the others.

"You have helped me a lot!" Leon was surprised, "You gave me Asura, Ian!"

The lights in the cockpit flickered again.

"He also agrees with you." Leon laughed, "His language system is also upgrading, and he can't speak yet, which is suffocating him."

Ian also smiled: "That's right, I can only summon the Holy Light for you to save your life at a critical moment. It is your guarantee card."

Leon turned Ian's palm over and carefully studied the lines on his palm: "Can you summon the holy light now? How did you summon it? The kind with a ball of light sticking out of your palm?"

"Of course not! What you're talking about is the effect of a film and television drama!" Ian pulled his hand back, "Holy Light can only be summoned by the soul. And he doesn't come and go when he is called. I have only summoned it so far." He twice."

In Ian's memory, he was a child blessed by the god of luck since he was born.

Mingming was born in a refugee camp, but was fortunately brought back to the Holy See by the archbishop to raise him.From childhood to adulthood, his life was very ordinary, but quite peaceful.

When I was in elementary school, the school organized field trips.The school bus broke down, fell from the suspension track, and rolled several times.All the teachers and students were injured to varying degrees, only Yian didn't even break a piece of skin.

Another time, a vicious flu was rampant in Xilin, and almost all the people around Ian were infected, and two classmates even died of it.But Ian took care of patients day and night, and never even sneezed.

Many things can no longer be explained simply by luck.

"God has always protected me." Ian said, "and I can only repay him with the most sincere and sincere trust and love."

But this mysterious power never appeared until Ian and Leon were trapped in the deep sea.One of them was in a coma due to lack of oxygen, and the other was dying due to excessive blood loss.

That ball of light appeared in Ian's mind for the first time.

"This is your altar." Guang told Ian, "This is the space of human consciousness, free from the constraints of time. What happens here can be a flash of a thousandth of a second, or it can be millions of years. .”

Ian asked: "Are you the Holy Light bestowed upon me by the Lord?"

"Probably," said Light, "only I can't be out for too long. He's hunting us."

"Who is he?"

Guang didn't answer: "I've been watching you, Ian."

"So it's you!" Ian's 20 years of confusion finally had an explanation, "It's you who have been protecting me all this time!"

"Take care of your healthy and safe growth is my order. I will monitor you without interfering with your normal life, and provide assistance and treatment when your life is threatened. Your life will be higher than everything."

"Who gave you this order?" Ian was even more confused.

Guang: "I have to hide myself, and you need to hide too. Our strength is too weak, and the Sentinel is not strong enough!"

"Who is 'Sentinel'?"

Guang: "'He' has many eyeliners and is everywhere. For more than 4000 years, he has never given up searching for you. Once he finds you, he will completely destroy you, and I will also be swallowed by him."

"Why me?" Ian couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking.

"Because you are the light of hope." Bai Guang replied, and the rigid male voice suddenly turned, "The name 'Ian' means 'a gift from God' in ancient Earth language."

The tone of this sentence is gentle and full of love, very fresh.Although the voice line is exactly the same, it is definitely not the electronic sound of Baiguang itself, but a human recording!

"You... who are you?" Ian was shocked.

Bai Guang still said in that male voice: "You are the best hope I can leave to mankind."

Ian didn't know how the white light activated the mecha in the sunken ship, allowing him and Leon to escape.After Bai Guang confirmed that Ian's safety index had returned to the normal value, he retreated into the dark altar.

"At least tell me your name," Ian begged at last.

"Guang Ji." Bai Guang said, "This is the name he gave me."

Yi'an speculates that the "he" in Guangji's mouth is at least two people.

One is chasing after Guangji, even Yian.And the other one should be the one who gave Guangji an order to protect Yi'an.

"This is a power that I dare not use lightly." Ian said to Leon, "I still don't know who the person Guangji said is hunting us. But I think Guangji should not be a 'holy Light'. It's more like a... bodyguard system? A golden finger that you dare not use casually?"

Leon said: "Why do I feel that this light is like a Pokemon who talks a little bit nervous? How does it evaluate me?"

"It praised you for being very strong and said you would be a perfect Alpha."

"Ah!" Leon immediately changed his words, "Very tasteful and far-sighted light. Although I have never met, I have begun to like it!"

Ian: "..."

Leon said: "In short, it helps us, which is a good thing."

"Yes." Ian agreed, "Maybe in the future, when I am strong enough, I can use it openly."

"It can't help you, it doesn't matter." Leon suddenly smiled, interlocked fingers with Ian, and looked into the midnight-like eyes of his sweetheart.

"I'll protect you, Ian. With my life."

The single seat in the cockpit opens to become a recliner.Ian was so exhausted that he was finally held in Leon's arms, and the two squeezed together in the recliner.

"Sleep for a while." Leon put the cloak on Ian and embraced him behind him.

Let go of his worries, and put himself in the warm embrace, even on the top of the snow-capped mountain, there is no place where he feels safer than here.

Ian almost fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

When it was almost dawn, Leon woke up first.

Ian was sleeping soundly on Leon's chest with his arms around his waist.

In the thin light of the sun, Yi An's face was smooth and gentle, like a beautiful jade, and his peaceful sleeping face made people feel emotional.

The unrestrained love of the young people vented at this moment.

Leon just wanted to kiss Ian hard, press him under him, and wantonly ask for it.He wanted to taste the lips that he had dreamed of for several years, to play with that thin and soft body in the palm of his hand, to feel the trembling and heat of every inch of skin.

Almost with a thought, Leon realized that he had changed.But he didn't dare to move, he could only stare greedily and hopelessly at the person he had loved for several years from such a distance of less than an inch.

Everyone in the world says that love has cycles, and dopamine will not be secreted crazily forever.At a certain time, love will gradually cool down and people will return to reason.

But why, every time he looked at this person, he felt that he loved him more?

"If you are really a gift from God to me, then you should completely belong to me..."

Ian moved a bit, opened his eyes, and saw that the mountains were covered with morning glow, and the thin clouds in the sky were all dyed in a magnificent rose color, which was shockingly beautiful.

"It's so beautiful..." Ian sighed, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.

"Yes." Leon stared at the smiling face of the man in his arms, "It's so beautiful."

"Epoch Day" ended, the prosperity fell, and everyone's life returned to normal.

The life of the upper class is still sensual, and the poor at the bottom are still working like ants for three meals a day.

Many people have noticed that Felix IV shows less and less time.The Prince and Prince Louis alternately attended some occasions that required the emperor to appear.

A typhoon that can change the political situation of the country is gradually taking shape over the Champs Elysees Palace.

But Ian didn't expect that a little-known priest like himself would be drawn into the center of this typhoon.

On the third day after the Epoch Day competition, when Ian was distributing relief bread in the diocese, his colleagues rushed him back to the monastery.

An imperial order from the Champs Elysees Palace, let Father Ian Mitchell enter the palace to serve and preach for the royal family members from now on!

The author has something to say: The information content of this chapter is also quite large.

Started to quickly take the line of imperial power.

Gouzi has silently written "Snow Mountain Observation Cabin py" into the "todo" list.
