The Hypocritical Holy Knight 114 Part 2

So, He Yan became the acting Pope of the central church amidst the extreme reluctance of the Cardinals.

Fortunately, since the Pope was only nominally "recuperating" due to the decline of divine power and was not removed from office, they had to wait until two years later when the Pope's term expired before a new Pope could be appointed.

So before that, the Holy Son of Light could only "manage" the affairs of the central church.

So in these two years, although it might be very difficult to compete with the Holy Son of Light who had the Holy Knights behind him, at least they still had a chance to fight for the position of the next Pope!

But He Yan had no intention of caring about what these Cardinals were thinking. In fact, contrary to what they imagined, he had no interest in the position of Pope at all, let alone wanting to get involved in this struggle for power.

With the time for fighting for power and scheming against each other, it was better to touch the two little fangs of his blood elf more.

But Ambrose obviously failed to agree with his idea, and directly pushed him to the position of "acting Pope" without his knowledge.

So after an "exchange", He Yan bluntly expressed to the Commander of the Holy Knights, who was lying on his bed with his chest exposed, that he actually did not want to be the Pope.

The blood elf stared at him for a long time with his blood-red eyes, curled his lips and smiled slightly, promising, "Don't worry, I will fulfill all the wishes you want."

He Yan asked meaningfully, "If one day, I leave the Church of Light, will you come with me?"

The blood elf kissed his fingertips as if making a promise, "Of course, I will always be with you."

He didn't actually have much faith in the credibility of these words. After all, there were too many secrets about this little mouse, and he didn't dare to treat him as a fool blinded by love.

But no matter for what purpose, since Cecil had said such words, he took it as true.

Even if he wanted to go back on his word in the future, he would have no chance.

He Yan stretched out his fingertips again and hooked his little fangs, as if he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Ambrose, what is your true race? Beastman?"

Although Ambrose revealed his blood-red eyes in front of him, his other elven features were still well hidden.

- Such as the unique pointed ears of the elven race!

He had seen elven ears in portraits of races on the Delan Continent before. They looked much more slender and thinner than human ears, and pinching them must feel very unique.

It is said that creatures have the weakest self-control during intimate moments, but the blood elf was obviously very restrained. He had observed from the corner of his eye when the blood elf was "excited", but never saw his ears change shape.

The blood elf held his fingertips with his pale little fangs, nibbling very lightly, with a hint of inexplicable smile in his eyes: "Believe me, you will soon know the answer to this question."

Sure enough, not long after, He Yan received a mission to investigate the source of demonic power on the outskirts of the Eternal Night Forest.

On the Delan Continent, basically anything involving the Eternal Night Forest is associated with the word "danger".

There are five well-known places on the Delan Continent that cannot be entered casually, one of which is the Eternal Night Forest.

The Eternal Night Forest is one of the gathering places for demon beasts, and due to the terrain, it is full of unpredictable dangers. The mysterious elven race is hidden in its depths, sheltered by the power of nature and isolated from other races on the Delan Continent.

For thousands of years, countless creatures have tried to find their gathering place, but without exception, they have all been blocked outside the walls by the Eternal Night Forest.

This mission was not from anyone else, but was personally pushed in front of him by Ambrose.

Although this mission is dangerous, Ambrose, as his contracted knight, will definitely go with him. Under the escort of the Holy Knight Commander, there is actually no need to worry too much.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good opportunity for him to establish prestige in the Church of Light.

So He Yan readily accepted this arrangement.

In the original trajectory, Cecil also received this mission, but it was not pushed by the Holy Knight Commander, but was assigned to him directly by the Pope.

It was during this mission that his life trajectory completely changed. As part of an exchange, he was kidnapped by the beastmen under the Pope's deliberate arrangement.

Of course, the Church of Light announced to the outside world that the Holy Son of Light had disappeared by accident, and took this opportunity to point the spearhead at the elven race whose whereabouts could not be found at all, so this matter could only come to an inconclusive end.

However, this time, with the Pope's early downfall, the transaction between him and the beastmen race naturally could not proceed, so this time, no matter how you look at it, the beastmen race will not be involved.

So - is Ambrose thinking of taking him back to his hometown?

Thinking of what the blood elf had said to him not long ago, He Yan felt that he had touched the truth.

However, since the blood elf wanted to act mysterious, as a partner who considered himself very understanding, He Yan could only pretend not to know his purpose.

The Eternal Night Forest is very far from Syphir. This time they took nearly seven days to finally reach the edge of the Eternal Night Forest.

Because it is rumored that there are terrifying forces in this forest that can devour creatures, there are no people living nearby, let alone inns. There are only a few simple resting points established by mercenaries here, but the Church of Light has always had a cold relationship with mercenaries who walk in the gray area of the law, so they can only choose to set up camp on the edge of the forest by themselves.

Although the Eternal Night Forest is said to be extremely terrifying, in fact, as long as one's strength is sufficient, entering the periphery to investigate is usually not a big problem.

Matching the endless dangers is the rich demon beast resources in the Eternal Night Forest, so mercenaries often come here to take risks for money.

Although in recent years, with the emergence of demonic power, the market for demon beasts has shrunk a lot, there is still profit to be made on some rare plants.

After they arrived at the Eternal Night Forest this time, they encountered a mercenary team of four who had just crawled out of the forest.

They looked a bit disheveled, seemingly very wary of them. After glancing at them from a distance, they quickly detoured away.

He Yan didn't mind this. The sky was already starting to darken. The Eternal Night Forest at night is far more dangerous than during the day, so they need to hurry up and find a suitable place to prepare for the night before dark.

After everything was ready and the shifts were assigned to the holy knights, everyone was ready to rest.

Because the journey was too long this time and there was too much luggage to carry, in order to reduce the burden, two people shared a tent, so He Yan naturally shared the same tent with his contracted knight, and further shared the same bedding.

There is no need to trouble the blood elf to avoid the patrolling holy knights to "ambush" him like last time.

As the Holy Knight Commander and also the contracted knight of the Holy Son of Light, Ambrose does not need to participate in the night patrol shifts. After all, it is generally accepted that his most important task is to protect this precious Holy Son of Light.

Thanks to the holy image that Cecil had established in everyone's hearts in the past, everyone felt that there was only a pure relationship of being served and contracted knight between him and Ambrose, and no one suspected that he had any improper relationship with his contracted knight before.

But the fact is -

After the Holy Knight Commander finished the evening washing for the delicate Holy Son of Light, he casually hugged his waist and placed him on the edge of the table, raised his wrist, revealing sharp fangs glowing with a cold white light, biting a small hole in the fair skin, slowly tasting the blood flowing out from it.

Blood elves use blood as a source of power, and their saliva also has the function of promoting the regeneration of prey's blood. This is undoubtedly a very practical ability.

So although He Yan is often caught and bitten by the blood elf, his body is actually very healthy, and he has even gained a bit of weight due to the blood elf's careful feeding.

He Yan's free hand was inserted into the blood elf's light golden hair, tightly grasping his hair, occasionally humming softly because of the slight pain in his wrist.

The blood elf has a habit that he can never change no matter what - before the main course, he must taste a small but extremely delicious dessert.

However - "Please wait a moment," the blood elf paused, lowering his wrist and licking the remaining traces of blood from his fangs. A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes at the interruption. "Let me go deal with a piece of filth that carelessly slipped in."
