186 “(Quick Travel) Meat-eating Journey” Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Western Fantasy‧Whoring the Great Priest (19)

“Little Theodore, I know that you young people have good physical strength, but it is still not advisable to overindulge.” The old man with a goatee in the double-sided mirror said earnestly. Seeing that Theodore was about to get angry, he blocked Theodore’s mouth in advance, “Looking at your rosy face, you must have worked hard at night recently.”

Theodore couldn’t help but twitch his lips: “If you contact me just to make such a vulgar joke, then I’ll leave first.”

“Hey, hey,” Jialuo quickly stopped him, “Don’t be angry, I have something serious to talk to you about.”

Although the curse on Theodore has been lifted, the man behind the curse has never been found out.According to Theodore’s idea, after thinking about it, it was just those few people.The pope was already terminally ill, and the reason for assassinating him at this time was very simple. It was to plummet the reputation of Martin, who had become the favorite candidate for the next pope because of him, so as to achieve the purpose of succeeding the pope.

Within the Holy See, in addition to Martin, there are three archbishops who have the opportunity to succeed as pope, and they are all people who may put a curse on Theodore.

“Found a clue?” Theodore asked.

Garro nodded: “I found the magician who cast the spell on you. According to his claim, the one who ordered him…” Was it Ryan or Daniel?Theodore thought casually, it must be among those three people.Garro paused, seeming a little hesitant, but still said clearly, “It’s Martin.”

Margery was flipping through the tomes on the bookshelf. It wasn’t that she suddenly changed from an idle female gangster to a studious one. When she first traveled through time, she had always wanted to find out what the relationship between the Wesen Continent and the Yuta Continent was.

The two continents separated by the vast ocean have always had exchanges, whether official or private, and the people on both sides know the other side quite well.So while wandering in the slums, Margaery also learned a lot about the continent of Yuta through inquiries from various parties.

There is still a Kingdom of Eli on that continent. Damon City in the kingdom is the territory of the great noble Farman family.As for whether there is an heir named Alex in the Farman family, Margaery, as an ordinary civilian, naturally has no way of knowing.

Since there is no way to find out, then just go and see it on the spot.Margery had made up her mind and even found a merchant ship to do business in the mainland of Yuta, but the plan failed.The first time she sprained her foot, and when she arrived at the dock, the ship had already departed.The second time she was safe, but the bad thing was that the ship was about to sail.The third time was even more exaggerated. A storm broke out in the calm sea, and Margaret’s trip to the mainland of Utah naturally had to come to nothing.

In this way, the plan was stranded again and again. Each time, there were various reasonable but sudden reasons that prevented her from going to the city that might contain the truth to find out.

Browsing through the pages of the book quickly, suddenly, Margery’s eyes stopped.What she was looking through was the roster of members of the Temple of Light in the Yuta Continent. Only Theodore, as the great priest, would have such a rare book in his study.At this time, her fingers trembled slightly and stopped on a familiar name – Alex Clegane Farman.

There is a long list of titles behind his name: Grand Knight of the Temple of the Kingdom of Eli, heir to the head of the Farman family, and the next Duke of Malbrand.

Sure enough, Margery didn’t know what she was feeling. When she first traveled through time, she realized that she and Alex were living in the same world, and what was even more exaggerated was that they were still at the same point in time.So if she successfully reaches the continent of Yuta, she can find Alex in Damon City.

At that time, will there be a girl named Margaery next to the Lord Knight?

But this is destined to become an unsolved mystery. After countless attempts to cross the sea failed, Margaery has given up the idea of ​​going to the continent of Yuta to find out.Somewhere, there was a force stopping her.She didn’t know what kind of power it was, was it the person who controlled the world, or the person who caused her to travel through time?

She was reading a book in a daze when she saw Theodore opened the door and walked in.The girl was keenly aware that Theodore looked a little distracted: “Theo, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Theodore smiled at her.

His behavior made Margaery feel that something was wrong, but since Theodore was unwilling to say anything, the girl did not ask further questions.It was already dusk. After dinner, the two of them washed up and went to bed.Margaery turned over and hugged Theodore’s neck. Seeing that he didn’t respond, she started to kiss his chin again.Seeing that Theodore was still in a daze, she pulled Theodore’s hair dissatisfiedly: “What’s wrong with you?”

What’s wrong?After hearing the information from Garrow’s investigation, Theodore’s thoughts were confused for a moment.

From the outside, he and Martin were close teachers and students, and they were firmly tied together in terms of emotions and interests.But Theodore knew that he and Martin had no friendship for a long time.From the time he was five years old, when Martin packaged him as the so-called son of God’s choice in order to gain power, Theodore and the teacher he admired when he was a child no longer had the possibility of deep friendship.

He once regarded Martin as his father. Because he did not have the love and care of his male elders, he guided Theodore as a teacher. Martin, who grew up with him, has always been the most trusted and closest person to Theodore.But Martin just used him as a tool.

Theodore forgot when he realized it. There is no exact time. Maybe it was when Martin ignored his wishes again and again and ordered him to act according to his own requirements. Maybe it was when Theodore realized that he had been deceiving the world, and this scam was created by Martin.

There are only three people in this world who know that the so-called God’s Chosen Son is simply a lie.

Martin has been an ambitious man from an early age, but he has no power and difficulty in getting ahead in the temple. After meeting Theodore, a brilliant idea took shape in his head.If this child is the legendary chosen one, he will be able to rise to great heights.

Of course, Theodore is not the Chosen One.If not, then let him be.

“Lily,” Theodore suddenly said, his voice low and calm, “Didn’t you ask me? Why did my hair turn black.”

In fact, it was not Theodore’s hair that turned black, his hair was originally black.

“Eh?” The girl was surprised. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that when she had sex with Theo, the pubic hair on his lower body was indeed black. “But… why do you want to change your hair color like that?”

In the beginning, it was all Theodore’s mother’s idea.In order for her son to be successfully accepted by Duke Hyde, she spent a lot of money to give Theodore a magic potion that could change his hair color.Because Theodore’s cheap father, whom he has never met, has bright blond hair.And this blond hair was noticed by Martin again. Thinking that one of the chosen sons in history was called the blond Son, Martin’s thoughts became vivid.

“You must have heard a lot of rumors about me,” said Theodore with a faint smile on his lips. “All kinds of miracles, such as dreaming about the sun, miracles appearing on the stone slabs when praying, being able to communicate with gods…” All kinds of wonderful deeds made believers in awe of Theodore.

“Those are all false.” Including Theodore’s blond hair, his pious and holy posture, everything presented to the world is just a false lie.

Martin is undoubtedly a master of packaging and marketing. Under his control, Theodore gained great popularity among the people, and was subsequently recognized by the Holy See as the Chosen Son of God.The Holy See is not a fool, and of course it has doubted whether Martin was playing tricks.But Theodore’s magical talent was so amazing that he relied on his outstanding magic power to maintain the “miracle” on himself, and thus passed the temple’s inspection.It’s probably because the Holy See didn’t expect that someone would dare to tell such a big lie.

From then on, Theodore’s life changed.

Wealth, status, power, all the things he had never dreamed of, all came to him.The tribesmen who had despised him in the past prostrated themselves before him. Even Duke Hyde, who had dismissed him, sent people to bring letters of goodwill.And Theodore’s greatest wish, to make his mother no longer have to work so hard, was easily realized.

But he is not happy at all. Yes, his whole life is false, how can he be happy.

In order to prevent this secret from being revealed, he cannot trust anyone except Martin and his mother.You can’t make friends, you can’t show affection to people, you can’t even have too much contact with outsiders.He kept wearing the mask day after day, and over time, even he himself no longer knew what he really looked like.

“By telling me this, does it mean you trust me?”

Thinking of those past events, Theodore seemed to be in a trance. A soft little hand stretched out and gently covered the back of his hand.He turned his head, and the girl looked at him with a smile, so excited and cute, as if she didn’t care that he was such a bold liar, she was just happy for the trust he had given her.

“Yeah,” he replied softly.

After so many years, he no longer trusted his teachers and mother, and he thought he would never find anyone he could trust.But in the end, God still favored him.

“Will you betray me?” He couldn’t help asking, and his hands on the quilt clenched unconsciously.

“Of course not.” The girl replied without hesitation, “I will never betray you.”
