This was the first time for Delphinium to see Russell showing such a meek expression in front of others, and his eyes even turned red at the words of others.
To be honest, this reaction scared her a little.
In Delphinium's impression, Russell has always been an unruly wild cat. Although when he is hungry, he will be willing to lie down and expose his belly, making nice meows to beg for food... But if he waits until he is full and drinks
When you are satisfied, when you want to call the cat over, you can never expect to get any flattering response.
Cats are always too lazy to pay attention to people who come to them when they are not hungry. Meowing lazily in response is already considered a great honor. At least in this regard, Russell's character is quite cat-like. Okay.
In other words, at least when he shows his "good" and "obedient" side, he always has a very utilitarian attitude. Although he usually has a gentle personality, he will never be in a position to obey orders and take orders.
.
When Russell worked in the Special Execution Department, he was far inferior to a social animal who came to work for a bad person. A bad person has the kind of personality that can energetically take the initiative to find work for other colleagues when he has no work to do.
And Russell didn't even bother to come to work when he was sure he was dead. This situation became more frequent after he confirmed his relationship with Delphinium. Even if he had a job... As long as he could leave it to others, Russell would rather shrink.
Sleeping on the sofa or playing games. Fortunately, both the Paradise Bird and the two angels are good-tempered.
Only when the matter is serious and the problem must be solved by Russell, he will suddenly cheer up, get up and shake his hair, and prepare for a quick resolution. Whether it is against elves, angels, or even the directors who are his immediate bosses
Sir, the best Russell could do was to give him an attitude of impeccable respect on the surface. In private, it could be said that he had no respect at all.
Just as Delphinium said before - she even felt that Russell put herself and the three sages on the same level to think and talk.
——But the situation in front of me is completely different.
Delphinium can be sure... Even if Alice is still alive, Russell probably won't show such a gesture in front of her. Not to mention the sheath that Russell always wants to kill.
But she also felt that this was very reasonable.
The old bishop exuded a "reliable" aura all over his body. Although he was scolding Russell and lecturing him, Delphinium could clearly sense the old man's love for Russell through his own spiritual power.
.
It was not the unconditional doting that an old man often shows to his grandchildren, nor was it the kind of pity and caring love he felt towards his grandchildren.
Rather, the rational old man breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the younger generation for whom he had high hopes finally found his own career and determined his life path... but he also wanted to try his best to use himself while he still had some use.
The experience imparts strict and rational care to the other party.
He also knew "Wendy and Alice". Wendy's words...should be Sheath's real name. She still vaguely remembered this inconspicuous name.
Since he knows Sheath's true name and would say it at this time, I'm afraid this old bishop is someone familiar with Sheath from the Cyber Church.
Even though he was betrayed by Sheath, the old man didn't hate him at all, let alone anger at Russell. When he said Sheath's real name, Delphinium tasted only a faint disappointment in his tone. And he was disappointed with him.
Among Russell's expectations, there is only relief and hope...
This kind of pure, fair and rational goodwill is like the sun. It can make people warm and brighten their eyes.
No wonder Russell respects and loves him so much.
"Won't you introduce it to me?"
The old bishop suddenly spoke, casting his penetrating gaze at Delphinium: "This... a somewhat melancholy lady."
"Hello, my name is Flotte."
Delphinium realized that this person was one of Russell's living elders, so she bowed her head respectfully: "I am Russell's girlfriend..."
「
She is my wife."
Russell interrupted.
"Oh."
The old man's lips were slightly parted and his expression remained unchanged: "My wife..."
「
Yes."
After Russell's identity was revealed, Delphinium was a little shy and a little proud to admit it.
"So, has the wedding been held?"
The old man asked solemnly.
"Not registered yet."
Russell whispered from the side: "Our plan is to register tomorrow.
"Are you marrying your son?"
The old man whispered calmly, his words sharp.
"That's not the case," Russell quickly explained, "We have already fallen in love... we just lacked an opportunity to get married.
For some reason, under the majestic gaze of the old man, even Delphinium became a little guilty and timid.
At that moment, she had a strange illusion - as if it was not herself but Russell who was pregnant; at this moment, as the son-in-law who came to visit her for the first time, she was facing the eyes of her father-in-law.
She subconsciously hid next to Russell, and Russell reacted immediately and covered half of Delphinium's body with his own body.
Russell quietly stretched out his hand, and Delphinium noticed it without lowering his head and held it.
The old man saw all this.
"That's fine."
The old bishop suddenly said: "You young people, you can handle your own affairs. I'm old, so I won't mind my own business."
After that, he walked in a certain direction.
His steps were steady and powerful, not at all like an old man of his age. To support such a straight spine at such an age, one must have an extremely strong and healthy body.
"You are still young..."
Russell showed a flattering expression and immediately followed him: "I can live for another hundred years!"
"It's not that easy."
The old man shook his head and said without looking back: "It's been almost the past two years."
Although he didn't look back, his voice was rich and heavy, as oppressive as a tower. Although he was standing in front of the two of them, Delphinium could clearly hear every word he said.
Russell stretched out his hand and made a silencing gesture in front of his lips to the Delphinium beside him.
His extremely light left hand struck rapidly in the void, and within a second he typed out a sentence:
"Master Bishop, he may be a veteran from a hundred years ago."
veteran?
Seeing this extremely unfamiliar word, Delphinium was even stunned for a moment before she could think of its meaning.
"He...was an angel?"
Although there were mortals participating in the religious war a hundred years ago.
But ordinary people should not have such a strong physique. Even if he was only in his twenties when he participated in the war, he would already be over 120 or 30 years old now...
He is obviously not a spiritual relative with longevity. It is impossible for him to live for such a long time, but he looks as "young" as an old man in his sixties. Unless he has been maintained in physical condition by an angel halo for a long time... that is possible.
.
"Probably. I didn't dare to ask specifically. I guess he must be someone with a high status."
Russell responded.
Especially after knowing the whereabouts of Paradise Bird's father...he felt this way even more.
Angels who do not have sufficient abilities or high enough status have long been forced to hibernate and squeezed into juice by the church. Let alone take off the halo and become a human again.
Russell was distracted and thinking.
He said, I saved Hua Mingshu's daughter...
Russell has saved too many people. He has lost count of how many people he has saved, just like he doesn't know how many slices of bread he has eaten.
However, there should not be that many people who will be mentioned by the Bishop...
If Russell remembers correctly, the real name of Paradise Bird seems to be "Hua Yu".
Is "Hua Mingshu" the real name of the "Detective" vest?
It has been nearly a year since Russell got this identity, and now he finally learned his real name - because even the Birds of Paradise didn't know it.
What is her father's name?
As a defecting angel, in order not to be discovered and pursued by the church, Hua Mingshu did not reveal his name to anyone. Even his wife did not know his real name.
Unable to return to his hometown, he can only live alone in a distant place until his death. When his descendants pay homage to him, they cannot pronounce his real name... This is undoubtedly unfortunate.
But on the other hand, some people silently ended the story for him, some people chose to love him even though they didn't know his name, and some people still loved him many years after his death.
From this perspective, Hua Mingshu may be considered lucky - compared to those who are truly unfortunate.
