Chapter 2405: Love of the Evil God's Faith 10

Sai Miuer's blood-red pupils dilated slightly at these words.

But just then.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A sudden, forceful knocking sounded outside the resting room where Sai Miuer was.

"Sai Miuer." Bu Lanwen sounded worried, "Baron Hen Li was killed by a black mage, the Knight Order is searching, are you alright?"

Upon learning of Baron Hen Li's assassination, Bu Lanwen immediately sensed something amiss.

He came to the outside of Sai Miuer's resting room, found the door shut tight and no sound inside, and immediately realized an opportunity had arrived.

Sai Miuer was indeed strange.

In the garden, Sai Miuer suddenly awoke from a dream of passion.

He pushed against Jin Chen's chest, letting out a pleading sob, even actively leaning in to imprint a brief, urgent kiss.

"Let me go… please."

Jin Chen looked at the panicked person in his arms, ultimately did not continue, and soothed and comforted them.

"Don't be afraid."

Two seconds later.

Before the mirror, Sai Miuer opened his eyes.

He quickly raised his hand, wiped away the tears left on his cheeks with the cuff of his holy robe, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the lingering flutter of unfamiliar emotion.

Sai Miuer stood up, straightened his slightly wrinkled holy robe, and opened the door.

Outside the door, before Bu Lanwen could even put on her feigned worry, she met Sai Miuer's eyes, pure as fresh winter snow.

Sai Miuer frowned, as if slightly displeased at being disturbed during prayer.

"Bu Lanwen?" Sai Miuer's voice was calm and cool, showing no hint of oddity, "I was meditating in prayer, what are you making a fuss about?"

Just then, a few attendants tasked with guarding rushed up from downstairs.

One of them happened to see Sai Miuer opening the door, immediately bowed respectfully, and said, "Priest Bu Lanwen, please rest assured! We have been guarding the lower courtyard just now; Priest Sai Miuer was indeed seated by the window praying, never leaving."

Bu Lanwen's expression froze instantly, as if she had been fiercely slapped by an invisible hand.

He opened his mouth, gazing at Sai Miuer's pure eyes, all his prepared questions and suggestions stuck in his throat.

Sai Miuer looked at Bu Lanwen, his eyes even holding a hint of a smile, "Bu Lanwen, thank you for your concern."

Bu Lanwen: "……"

Baron Hen Li's sudden death caused an uproar at the Prince's Manor.

Prince Li Ang, furious, ordered all exits sealed, and the Imperial Guard and Holy Temple Knights repeatedly searched.

However, aside from the window of Henry's resting room shattered by an invisible force, and the faint dark magic fluctuation almost impossible to detect, they found nothing.

There were no suspicious strangers, nor any trace of black magic left to track.

The crow glimpsed amidst the servants' cries vanished without a trace.

In the end, the investigation could only be temporarily shelved.

Prince Li Ang wore a grim expression, ordered a detailed report to be sent to the imperial court, and requested the dispatch of stronger forces to intervene.

As for the Holy See of Light, Bishop Xi Li Er also promised to fully assist the investigation.

In the Prince's temporary side hall, a hasty memorial service was held.

White wax candles flickered with dim light, and the air was filled with the scent of funerary incense.

Bishop Xi Li Er held the scripture, his low chant echoing in the hall, praying for the father god's mercy and purification upon Henry's soul.

Sai Miuer wore a plain white holy robe, his golden hair falling behind him, standing quietly slightly behind Bishop Xi Li Er's side.

He slightly lowered his head, his pure white long lashes drooping, concealing all emotion in his eyes, appearing exceptionally holy under the candlelight.

As if gathering all the pity in the world.

As Bishop Xi Li Er's chant reached a pause, Sai Miuer lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over Henry's body covered in white cloth.

In a corner unseen by anyone, he ever so slightly curled his lips upward.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 75!】

Jin Chen recalled the crow that had diverted attention.

——

Returning to the familiar Holy See.

Sai Miuer alone walked toward the secluded lawn behind his residence.

A small white marble fountain in the garden's center trickled, water droplets scattering faint rainbows in the sunlight.

Beside it, a swing entwined with ivy swayed in the breeze.

Sai Miuer sat on the edge of the fountain's cold stone steps, tightly gripping the scroll obtained from the Library, which recorded forbidden knowledge.

He lowered his gaze, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the rough parchment surface.

——"I can be anyone, my Sai Miuer."

The low whisper seemed to still echo in his ears.

His heart beat heavily in his chest.

Sai Miuer was almost unable to resist believing in the most impossible possibility.

The scroll's entries were vague and even contradictory, nowhere clearly stating what connection existed between the Dark Evil God and the Light God Zephyros.

Similar, or even identical, appearances do not lie.

Sai Miuer closed the scroll.

He alone came to Bishop Xi Li Er's private prayer chamber.

"Bishop." Sai Miuer whispered softly.

"Child." Xi Li Er turned his head, looking at him gently, "The celebration just ended, aren't you going to rest?"

Sai Miu Er took a deep breath, his silver-white eyes fixed on the Bishop, trying to make his tone sound merely out of academic curiosity.

"I was sorting some old scrolls when I inadvertently saw a record about... the dark evil god."

"I noticed... His appearance description, it seems... it seems similar to Father God Ze Fei Luo Si..."

He couldn't finish his words.

Bishop Xi Li Er gave Samuel a deep look, made a gesture, indicating that Samuel should stop this topic immediately.

Samuel's heart jolted, and he immediately fell silent.

The Bishop fell silent for a moment; the wind outside seemed to grow louder, stirring the heavy curtains of the prayer room, producing a creaking sound.

The sunset's light made half the room bright and half plunged into deep shadow.

The Bishop's voice was pressed low, even solemn.

"My child," he said slowly, "light and darkness, like day and night, are inherently born together."

"They... are twin deities born simultaneously at the origin of the world."

Samuel's heart clenched suddenly.

Twin...

The Bishop's gaze passed over Samuel, as if pointing to a point in the void, his voice grew lower, almost merging with the wind.

"But, according to ancient taboo records... thousands of years ago, the Father God issued a decree, strictly forbidding any race on the continent from recording the existence of the dark evil god, and not allowing any form of faith to spread."

"He was regarded as a taboo and completely banished to the Northern Border Eternal Night Land."

The Bishop withdrew his gaze, landing again on Samuel's face that could not hide his astonishment, "Child, no matter what you have heard or seen, you must remember it."

"You are a beloved follower of the Father God; do not disappoint Him. Moreover, be wary of the dark evil god, for He embodies lies, deceit, and exploitation."

"Lies, deceit, the embodiment of evil..."

Upon hearing those words, Samuel for some reason felt a pang in his heart, and blankly touched his chest.

He slowly nodded, "... Yes, Your Excellency Bishop."

【The Host truly is a pitiful deity.】 Ling Gun Gun sighed.

Jin Chen: "..."

Jin Chen flicked, scattering the ripples on the water surface, and the image vanished instantly.

Ze Fei Luo Si, this shameless bastard.

No wonder a few people still remember there is a dark god.

However...

Jin Chen played with the water using his fingers; the fine sunlight could not penetrate this place.

【What exactly is Ze Fei Luo Si wary of.】

Ling Gun Gun also grew solemn, shaking his head deeply, 【Unknown.】

Jin Chen stared at it.

Ling Gun Gun fidgeted, 【It wasn't even mentioned in the original plot.】

【Get lost.】 Jin Chen flicked it away, shook his hand, and went to look for his little follower.
