Chapter 618: Each person's New Year's gift

The New Year is an annual event in human society, and it does seem more interesting than usual.

On an island, the indifferent strong wind stirred up circles of ripples on the sea surface. A small church seemed to be rooted on the island, and it remained motionless despite being torn by the strong wind.

In the church, the silver candlesticks were filled with candlelight, making the whole chapel look particularly bright.

Adam, who was wearing an ordinary priest's attire, was looking through the painted window at the end of the sea and the New Year's parties being held on land.

Although he had seen it too many times in countless years, this time, it was rare for him to have a little ripple in his heart.

He guessed that after merging with himself and the true Creator, he was affected by His human side.

Although they were briefly fused and then separated, and were temporarily dominated by Him, the weak human side of the true Creator still affected Him slightly.

During the New Year reunion, the family is enjoying themselves happily. It seems that the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and sisters are respectful. However, in the face of real interests, the ugly side of human nature will undoubtedly be revealed. They don't even need the temptation of interests, and they will make trouble on their own.

Just like the eight kings of angels under His knees, the divine side believed that they could not be trusted and would definitely choose to betray them at critical moments, but the human side chose to believe in their loyalty.

In the end, he could only taste the taste of betrayal in a cold and dark world.

True Creator, what is reality?

Human nature is not a real thing, but a fictitious concept made up of various moral concepts.

Adam thought quietly, and then looked at the island at his feet. The true creator was sleeping on the other side of the island at the moment.

He seems to be sad because of what happened to Ouroleus?

Human nature is really fragile and vulnerable.

Well, just like the stars.

Everything he values ​​around him is his fatal weakness. The reason why he is still safe now is that the day of real life-and-death struggle has not yet come.

When Adam was about to retract his gaze, a red light shuttled through the distance, and then fell in front of Him outside the window.

Medici, a somewhat unexpected visitor.

After looking at each other through the window, Adam opened the church door. After Medici came in, he put the things he was carrying on the table in the corner of the church.

One grilled sausage, one pan-fried fish, one braised pork ribs, a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Adam just watched all this calmly, without stopping or having any thought of taking a seat.

"Try it." Medici poured Adam a glass of wine calmly, "Now you are becoming more and more alienated from the world, just like the stone statue in the church, without any warmth."

"Eating human fireworks doesn't mean you have warmth, nor living alone means being otherworldly." Adam still looked at calmly, "I just have no interest in these."

"In the new year, every family is celebrating reunion. I just can't bear to see you alone in this deserted church."

Medici poured himself a glass of wine and smiled: "Do you know how ordinary people call people like you?"

"A lonely person is not a good word. It is colder than this winter."

"I remember that when we were fighting against alien gods, you used to celebrate our victory in advance with us in front of a bonfire, and we also hosted a banquet for the King of the Eight Angels in the palace."

"They are all gone now, but I am still here and will always be here. I will never leave again."

"Unless you let me leave."

Medici was talking to himself and gently pushed the filled glass of wine closer to Adam.

He raised the remaining glass of wine, looked at the bright red wine, and said with a relaxed face: "The stars once said that you owe him a share of the extraordinary characteristics of the conqueror. With your personality, you will definitely not default on the debt, let alone Leave a possible loophole for the stars."

"In the human world, people always give a New Year gift to those close to them during the New Year."

"I also prepared a gift."

Medici drank the wine in the glass, then took out a wooden box from his jacket pocket, placed it on the table and opened it. The red light flashed inside, which was a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the conqueror.

Adam still just watched this scene calmly.

…

Sooner or later this broken lamp will be sunk into the sea!

Cattleya, who was standing behind Bernadette, was thinking silently in her heart.

She couldn't get used to seeing that broken lamp talking to the queen in a condescending manner, especially the way he spoke, which gave off a feeling of being unbeatable from the inside out.

"New year, new weather, Bernadette. Seeing as you have been kind to me over the years, I don't mind giving you a little help after I return to the starry sky."

The tone of the djinn became more and more public, and the entire wishing lamp floated up.

"It seems you were drunk tonight and need to sober up."

There was a faint cold light flashing in Bernadette's eyes. Before the djinn had time to react, she sealed the djinn inside the wishing lamp again, then threw the wishing lamp out, landing on the candlestick in front, and then lit up neatly. stand up.

"It's quiet now."

Bernadette glanced at Hastur, who was sitting at the head of the table, and saw that there was no displeasure on his face, but a slight smile. She knew that the Hastur sitting here tonight was just Hastur.

"Intis's food is to my liking. Audrey and Sharon, you can also try it." Hasta smiled and invited them to sit down and taste it.

As the protagonist here tonight, Bernadette also asked Forsi, Cattleya and others to take their seats.

At first, Forsi was tense all over, but as she drank some wine and became more drunk, she gradually became more relaxed.

Especially after Audrey whispered a few words in her ear, she became even more relaxed.

She stood up, raised her wine glass, looked at Hastur and said solemnly: "Mr. Hastur, thank you for your continued help to me and Xio."

Hasta smiled and nodded. Forsi finished the glass of wine and heaved a sigh of relief.

The banquet lasted until after two o'clock in the night, and Hastur opened the portal to let Audrey, Sharon, Susie, and Azshara go back first.

Bernadette also asked Cattleya and others to go down and rest first.

She knew that Hastur's coming to the Rhoside Islands tonight was not an impromptu move.

For example, the Djinn's performance tonight must have been due to some promise that made him so excited. It was probably because the stars allowed him to return to the starry sky.

Late at night, the Rhoside Islands are still bustling with activity. The people here enjoy festivals more than the people living in Backlund, and like to have fun and have fun in the festivals.

Bernadette stood on the open-air balcony on the highest floor of the fairy tale castle, with the bright starry sky above her head, overlooking the Star Sea Kingdom that she had worked so hard to create.

When Hastur came here, she looked back and stared before saying, "Are you the stars or Hastur now?"

"Sometimes the two don't need to be specifically divided. I don't have separate sides of divinity and humanity."

"That kind of rhetoric is really distressing."

"That's not something I need to worry about."

Bernadette withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and said with a business-like attitude: "Do you have anything to tell me when the stars are here tonight?"

"I suddenly want to hunt the Hidden Sage." Hastur said with a smile: "Are you interested?"

The potion of the Sequence 3 Enlightenment Saint Master in his body has been completely digested, and it is time to prepare for promotion to Sequence 2. He has already had an idea about the Sequence 2 extraordinary characteristics he needs, and has asked the Yellow Clothes Church to help him investigate. .

In the Moss Ascetic Order, which believes in the Hidden Sage, there is a Sequence 2 angel who is responsible for acting as the spokesperson for the Hidden Sage. He is also the superficial leader of the Moss Ascetic Order today, similar to the pope in the church.

It is worth mentioning that this spokesperson was originally a devil of the Blood Worship Cult, and later took refuge in the Hidden Sage. With the help of his knowledge, he was promoted step by step to the rank of 2nd Blood Archduke.

Bernadette must have a deeper understanding of the Moss Trappist Order.

Moreover, the Hidden Sage is also coveting her, which is a destined hostility.

"Is this a New Year's blessing from the stars?" Bernadette was in a good mood, with a faint smile on her usually elegant and noble face.

"You can also consider it a New Year's gift from Mr. Hastur to your friend."

"What a precious gift." Bernadette sighed with emotion, "I don't have a gift of corresponding value."

"You can also think of it as a New Year red envelope given by the elders to the younger ones."

Elders and juniors?

New Year red envelope?

Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong with this sentence!

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, her intuition telling her that Qunxing's words were not just a joke, there must be some unknown secret hidden in them.
