At first, I thought that I would have to meet the Father God directly after coming to the Realm of Gods. I was even mentally prepared for this. In other words, I was completely unprepared. I didn't expect that I would have to stay at Icetis's house for a day or two. Icetis's official explanation for this was that the Father God was very busy and had to arrange his schedule accurately. She said that the meeting would be arranged in two days, so even if we arrived early, he wouldn't have the time to show up. I expressed my understanding. After all, he was the supreme leader of the Endless Void. He wouldn't be free just because he wanted to.
Actually, it was fine even if she didn't explain. We already understood the Protoss's character. They were a bunch of people who didn't like to stick to one pattern. Even the most serious Protoss (such as the Old Man Alliance in Icetis's description), who were in charge of trials and convictions, didn't care about diplomatic etiquette and daily rules. This was because these things "had nothing to do with good or evil." Knowing their habits, Sandora and I didn't have any objections to the Protoss's seemingly careless arrangements. Frankly speaking, when Icetis came to the City of Shadows as a guest as the Protoss ambassador, we didn't really entertain her. Monina worked as a kitchen maid at home for almost a month. Lin did all the physical work at home. Ilson was responsible for patrolling the city and banning the pirates. Kenser helped me look after the kids and took care of Jingle. Icetis was Sandora's playmate. The only time I let this bunch of Gods go out for a walk was to Erli Bridge Fake Goods Street …
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that the five Protoss cops didn't come as envoys. It was more like they came to do odd jobs. They really didn't care about anything.
Icetis's house was far beyond my imagination. The level of luxury had reached an outrageous level. I never expected that this female gangster actually grew up in such a magnificent and solemn palace. Look at Jingle, it was much simpler than Icetis's house. Our little Goddess never paid much attention to the temple. A pocket of sufficient size was enough for her to live comfortably. Of course, a lamp cover would do as well …
As for Bryndis' parents, I actually feel that they are also admirable. They are truly elegant and noble. Please forget about the earth-shattering appearance of Uncle Kouwain and Auntie Ashali (Sister?). Although I didn't witness it personally, it was definitely a graceful kick. That was all because of a disappointing daughter. After getting to know them, I realized that the two elders in front of me were the epitome of etiquette, temperament and elegance. Uncle Cowain, who had the demeanor of an old nobleman, was talkative, kind, knowledgeable and humorous. On the other hand, Auntie Auntie, who was as elegant and magnanimous as a princess, was someone who didn't speak much but had an extremely gentle and kind personality … Goddess. Furthermore, they expressed great welcome for our visit. When we were invited to the huge living room to rest for a while, these two parents tried their best to display the generosity and passion of the head of the family. Their demeanor and magnanimity made me almost unable to believe that this strange daughter, Icetis, was raised by them.
"Honestly speaking, what kind of trauma did you go through when you were young? You had such good parents, how did you end up becoming a gangster? " Seizing the opportunity when Uncle Cowain turned his head to talk to his wife, I finally couldn't suppress the troubles in my heart and whispered into Icetis's ear.
This question was very sharp. If you were to say it to someone else directly, the other party would definitely fall out with you. However, Icetis's sense of shame has always been a weirdo. We have always discussed such questions face to face. Thus, a certain female gangster spoke up without hesitation, "I think this has to do with the education that I received from a young age."
"The iron-blooded education that my parents pursued eventually caused the young miss to be unable to bear the burden and warped her mentality to become the King of Smashing, Robbing and Burning?" My head was filled with question marks.
"No, it's mainly because of those few hundred years of school life. If two hundred professors were to surround you in a circle to teach you something that you would never be able to learn in your entire life, what would you do?"
I was speechless.
"Also, don't just look at how stylish my parents are in front of others. You will know how useless they are after a while. Don't forget about that door. Also, their image usually doesn't last more than fifteen minutes."
Is it really alright to evaluate your parents like that in front of your parents?
The first meeting with Icetis's family wasn't as depressing and tense as we had expected. The Protoss was indeed a race that was easy to get close to. Little Bubble had been pacing back and forth in the living room since the beginning, not having the slightest awareness that she shouldn't run around in someone else's house. The divine power that Liliana carried attracted the attention of Icetis's parents. After a brief introduction, the latter found out that the little girl in front of them was actually the direct spokesperson of a Goddess. Furthermore, she was the founder and current Pope of a world-spanning religion. They instantly developed a strong interest in Liliana's upbringing. However, after Jingle came out to greet the seniors, they expressed their calmness. The reason was that every spokesperson of the Goddess of Life had an astonishing similarity in their upbringing, so it was hard to say how they were chosen. Sandora and Icetis's parents had met a few times before. This was their reunion after tens of thousands of years, so we chatted a little more. Sandora mentioned the events that happened after the Empire. Regarding the calamity that happened to a great civilization, Icetis's family sighed endlessly. Uncle Kvain's words especially made me feel emotional.
"Sigh, Ashali, it's only been a while since we last met. How did so many things happen in the human world?"
This sentence made me completely despair about the Protoss' concept of time. I still had a tiny bit of hope left in me.
I still had a little bit of hope in the Zhongnanhai. Of course, I still had a little bit of hope left. In contrast, Monina and the other three were showing a little reserved expressions. Even Uncle Kenser was a little unnatural. It couldn't be helped, after all, they were the Protoss. No matter how unruly the Gods usually were, they still had a sense of hierarchy. Icetis's parents were also high-ranking government officials in the Divine Realm. A small civil servant like Monina was now freeloading in Zhongnanhai. Of course, she was a little nervous, especially the timid Lin. At this moment, she was almost shrinking into a ball on the chair. The only one in their team who wasn't nervous was Jingle. Don't forget how magnificent the history of this little one's growth was. Back then, she was an awesome person who even dared to burn the hair of the Father!
"Ah, look at me. I was so engrossed in talking that I almost forgot about the proper business." Uncle Kvain suddenly slapped his forehead as though he had thought of something. "It should be time for dinner now. After all, Sandora's eyes have already turned green."
I looked at Sandora speechlessly. The latter bared her teeth at me. "In the past, Icetis's family was like this too. There weren't any rules."
The grand banquet was quickly prepared. The work efficiency of the Divine Servants in the palace was really high. Icetis's parents seemed to have some understanding of the customs of the various worlds. They also did some research on the world we were in. Because on the table of dishes, I actually found traces of braised pork and braised lion's head …
The moment Sandora started eating, she entered gluttonous mode. Like a tornado sweeping through the clouds, she used her elegant posture to display a frightening eating speed. The two Divine Servants were already prepared for this. They specially opened up a green passage from the back hall to the front hall. Cart after cart of food was specially delivered to Sandora. The two of them ran just in time to catch up with Sandora's eating speed. From this point, Anveena, who was far away in the mortal world, won. This also showed that the last time Sandora came to this place, she left a deep impression. The Divine Servants knew that the master of the house was a master who valued her life over food even though the master of the house hadn't made any arrangements.
The short-haired woman whose name was only one word, "Mo", was the housekeeper of Bryndis' house. Of course, this was a common way of saying it. According to the division of duties, she was a Follower God in this God Temple. Although her identity was still a God's Servant, she was about to have her own Divine Title. During the banquet, she had been standing behind her master in a well-behaved manner, as if she was a valiant housekeeper. When I asked her about her identity, Bryndis explained the meaning of "God's Servant" to us.
Divine Servants, as the name suggests, are servants who serve the Gods. They can be divided into two types: The first type are mortals who have advanced, meaning that they were devout believers of a True God when they were alive. Once their faith has reached a certain level and they have made great contributions to the God's will, they also possess many virtues. They can then voluntarily be baptized and become a Divine Servant after death. They can then come to the Divine Realm to continue serving the Gods they love. To a devout believer, this is an unparalleled blessing, because in the Divine Realm, Divine Servants only need to take care of some affairs for their Main God. They are equal to ordinary Protoss. In other words, this is an opportunity for mortals to transform into Gods. However, due to the high requirements, the number of mortals who can obtain this privilege is limited. The second type of Divine Servants are originally Protoss, but they are "apprentice" Protoss who have yet to obtain a Divine Title. In the Divine Realm, other than a few special beings like Jingle who were born with a Divine Title, most Protoss don't have a Divine Title from the start. They have to start from apprentice level and learn how to manage their own Authority bit by bit. The learning path is divided into two parts. The first is the theoretical part, which is to take classes in school. The second is the practical part, which is to become an apprentice of a God who has a Divine Title, or to work as an intern at a certain company, accumulating experience while waiting to become a Divine Servant. Of course, there are also problematic children who, due to various reasons, are unable to become a Divine Servant even after tens of millions of years. Mo in front of us is one of them.
That's right, I know that Mo looks like a valiant and heroic female butler. No matter how you look at it, her way of doing things seems mature. Compared to Jingle, who was born with a Divine Title but has a seriously unreliable personality, she seems more like a qualified Divine Servant. However, there are two subjects that prevent her from becoming a Divine Servant: Theory and Practical …
This is a test idiot who is even more serious than Jingle. Other than having a serious personality, her results are a complete mess. According to Icetis, if she is unable to become a Divine Servant within a million years, Father God will have no choice but to give her the position of "God of Housekeeping".
Icetis's household doesn't seem to have any rules that require one to maintain silence at the dining table. During the meal, Uncle Kawain continues to ask Sandora and me about the recent happenings in the human world, especially the current situation of the Empire. On the other hand, Icetis is very silent. Other than occasionally throwing a knife at the head of the misbehaving Icetis at the dining table, she doesn't make any other movements. Looking at the usually arrogant female pervert being punished in such a manner, I silently take out my camera.
"Idiot, I want to eat that!"
The little doll on my shoulder suddenly kicks her little feet and points at a dish that is made of God knows what material but looks pretty good in the distance. She seems to be a little reserved after coming to a foreign place. From the very start, this doll has been sitting on my shoulder, hugging my head tightly without letting go. Even when we are eating, it is the same, as though this would give her a sense of security. Such actions naturally cause me some trouble. For example, every time I eat something, I have to remember to raise my chopsticks and give the same portion to Mercury Lamp. Otherwise, if the little doll doesn't get to eat the food, she will start biting my head.
"Your daughter is very cute."
Across the dining table, Auntie Ashali suddenly looks at Mercury Lamp and says with a smile.
"Who is this idiot's daughter!"
Although it is a publicly acknowledged fact, Mercury Lamp still instinctively yells out when faced with someone who directly points her out. She even gesticulates, "I have no choice but to stay by this idiot's side, this incorrigible lolicon!!"
I pick up my chopsticks and knock on the little fellow's head. When I retract my chopsticks, there is only half of them left in my hand. What a fast biting speed!
"I am very confident in my own eyes," Ashali blinks, "You remind me of when my daughter was young. Your eyes and small movements can't lie to anyone, it is exactly the same as how Icetis acted coquettishly in front of us."
Mercury Lamp is stunned for a moment, then she starts hugging my head and pulling it out. This is the usual method of the little doll to ease the awkwardness. On the other hand, Icetis smashes her head on the table, "I don't have the face to see anyone!"
"Hmph, idiot. At most, I will go and get it myself!"
When Quicksilver Lamp saw that everyone's gazes were starting to drift towards him, he suddenly shouted loudly and spread the black wings on his back to fly to the other side of the table. As a result, Uncle Khuyin's gaze was instantly attracted by the little puppet's wings.
Mercury Lamp's wings are small when they are not spread out. They stick closely to her back like a cute accessory on her clothes. Only when they are spread out would they look like angel wings. No one noticed it earlier, but now, it has attracted the serious attention of Icetis's father.
The old man is very serious, "Icetis, is this your child? Why didn't you say something so important earlier? When did the two of you … "
The mercury lamp that had just flown halfway fell into the salad plate with a plop. I slid down the chair and slid under the table. The following after-dinner show was very exciting: Bindis teamed up with her mother to hunt down her father.
Everyone can finally confirm that Icetis didn't lie before. The image of the two parents didn't last long.
Sandora and Icetis, this pair of good friends, go to the room to discuss some confidential matters. Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue lead a group of dolls to tour around under Mo's guidance. There are plenty of places for them to explore in this majestic palace. According to Icetis, just the clock towers at the four corners of the shrine are enough to make Karazhan die of shame. The mysteries contained within are definitely enough to make Medivh's hair turn white overnight. Auntie Ashali dragged my elder sister to discuss her experience in taking care of troubled children. Ashali had a pair of eyes that could see through everything. She immediately noticed my elder sister's status as a parent in our social circle and her authority among the dolls. Even though my elder sister always felt awkward about her authority, she still felt awkward about it.
On the other hand, I am busy cleaning the salad sauce on Mercury Lamp's face and clothes in a small room beside the front hall. The little doll keeps twisting around as she wipes her face, making the task much more difficult.
"Forget it, let's just wash these clothes." I am troubled as I help the little lass wipe her clothes. In the end, I can only take out a small black dress from my personal space. Due to various reasons, I have dozens of spare food and clothing items for every child in the family. Naturally, this includes the special clothes for the 92.3cm little princess.
"Okay, help me put it on!" Mercury Lamp ordered as she raised the clothes in front of her without any hesitation.
This little lass is becoming more and more unguarded. In the past, she would throw a tantrum if I just touched her. Now, she even needs my help to dress and comb her hair. She is still stubbornly refusing to admit the fact that she was adopted. As expected, being tsundere is the way to go.
I carefully put the doll-like dress on the little doll's body. I noticed that she has a silly smile on her face. I can't help but be curious, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, idiot!"
Was it because she recalled the difficulty of putting on clothes for the first time, and recalled that feeling in the present, so she couldn't help but smile happily now?
From the first time she struggled to stand up in a dusty room and put on clothes for herself. Now, she is quietly nestled in the arms of her "father", becoming a doted little princess. This child can finally smile happily.
"Okay, look at my baby — it's so beautiful."
I lifted Mercury Lamp up high and looked at the result of my dressing with satisfaction. Not mentioning anything else, ever since I took care of Mercury Lamp, I am now even more skilled at dressing dolls than Little Bubble.
"Hey! Don't say it so disgusting! " The little doll is kicking around in midair, but her small arms and legs can't reach the enemy in front of her. In the end, she can only helplessly quiet down. "Hey, idiot, you will never leave me behind, right?"
"Why did you suddenly think of this?"
I was stunned by Mercury Lamp's sudden train of thought.
"Just answer when I ask you. Why do you have to ask so many whys!"
"That's why you are an idiot. Do you even need to ask such a question?" I smiled and put the little guy on my shoulder. "Stay by my side forever, little one."
"Why? We have no relationship … "
"Didn't Aunty Ashali say it just now?" I knocked the head of the little doll who suddenly entered a state of sensuality. "I am your father!"
The expected head-knocking didn't happen. Mercury Lamp only snorted softly, then hugged my head … and fell asleep?
I looked at the time: 1: 30. As expected, it's time for a child to take a nap. To be able to train a doll to such a cruel biological clock, big sister, you are amazing!
