Chapter 12 Jedidiah
Jedidiah:
"Why are you here again?" The white-haired android looked at Phoenix angrily.
This familiar guy was holding a pile of sunnuts and pine trees, and occupied his camp. If he couldn't defeat him...
Phoenix could be said to have turned a deaf ear to the android's dissatisfaction, while turning over the roasted sunnuts. while waving cheerfully to the original owner of the campground.
"Come and have a taste! If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after eating."
Before he could react, the android threw a roasted sundowner fruit into his arms with a dark face, and he was about to throw the dark thing away in anger.
However, the soft skin broke under the force of the fingertips, and the sweet fruity aroma mixed with the aroma of butter filled the air.
It smells... quite delicious.
The artificial man, who had not eaten for three days, hesitated for a moment, then sat down by the fire with a sullen face, peeled off the skin of the sundown fruit, and ate it silently.
Phoenix was secretly relieved and just wanted to eat.
When the android was almost full after eating two sunflowers, Phoenix put down the dead branch, symbolizing the beginning of the conversation.
"Who are you?" The white-haired android was the first to attack, but he was somewhat out of breath. After all, he ate someone else's food.
Phoenix smiled and put down his sleeves, tightly covering the bandage on his arm, "Arvid Amberlet, an adventurer from Nata."
"Arvid? Few people regard it as a name, big Most of them are surnames." The white-haired android obviously didn't believe that this was Phoenix's name.
Phoenix, who had indeed chosen the name casually, coughed and felt a little guilty, but soon, the shameless person became cautious again.
"Whatever, maybe you can call me...Vistunus, or something else. It's really hard to think of a name." Phoenix showed no regrets and confidently thought of a name on the spot.
The white-haired android narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "Then can I call you Finny?"
"Why?"
Phoenix stopped smiling, and his lowered eyebrows revealed a terrifying sense of oppression for a moment, looking at him with scrutiny. The artificial man with white hair in front of him.
Instantly, cold sweat soaked the android's back.
He subconsciously wanted to run away, but his legs and feet were weak and he could only stand there like a pillar.
But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have died.
"I heard that the name of the first-generation Vulcan was Phoenix. Since you are so arrogant in wanting to save me, it's not wrong to say that you are a god."
The white-haired android's throat tightened and he explained bravely.
Phoenix narrowed his eyes, not bothering to care about his poor acting skills. Since he didn't feel any malice, he probably just wanted to test it out.
"Okay, I allow you to call me that."
The first-generation God of Fire rarely showed a serious and solemn expression.
"Then, in exchange...Jedidiah, this will be your name from now on."
Android, no, Jedidiah raised his head in surprise, subconsciously clenched his right hand, and a ray of red light flashed between his fingers. .
It was a fire-type God's Eye.
Jedidiah means "pleasure of the gods".
"Don't you like it?" Phoenix returned to his usual calm demeanor, pretending to be disappointed as he looked at the newly acquired family members whose expressions changed a lot, and said in a longer voice.
"No, no!... It's a good name." Jedidiah took a deep breath, and the joints of the hand holding the Eye of God turned white from the force, and there was still some confusion in the dark gold eyes. At a loss.
Just now, he "saw" his own destiny seat, a... curled-up lamb in the corner.
As the elder brother of the Son of Chalk, even if he has flaws, his talent in alchemy is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the moment he woke up, he was vaguely aware of his fate. He was the disaster that was not expected to be born, and he was the past abandoned by the children of the chalk.
Every day in Dulin's heart, he longed for freedom, so he prayed to the gods and frantically absorbed the vitality contained in the poisonous blood. Finally, he broke free from the shackles and was born into the world.
He has gone through so much suffering, and even his birth was not expected. Is it because he is a defective product?
Why is that guy the special son of Bai Chuo? He grew up with expectations, just because of Bai Chuo!
If there was no chalk...
But now, he suddenly felt that these past events were not a big deal. His mind, which was filled with negative emotions, suddenly sobered up. Looking back on what he had done in the past, he only felt scared.
That just doesn't look like him.
There are not many things that the artificial man wants. He wants to know the temperature of the sun, wants to see the scenery beyond the snow-capped mountains, wants to touch the crowd, and wants to taste food outside of the nutrient solution...
Now, he is obviously free, so why is he subconsciously persistent? Why did he forget the free life he had imagined countless times because of revenge? He is just himself, what does that son of chalk have to do with him?
The past few days have been like a dream, a nightmare from which I cannot wake up.
Moreover, Jedidiah, the joy of the gods...does that mean that his existence is still expected?
Generally speaking, artificial humans that are only three days old are still a piece of pure white paper. Although Dulin's poisonous blood is terrifying, when faced with a pure soul, all it can do is deceive and induce.
It brings out the resentment and jealousy in the artificial man's heart little by little, gradually turning his heart black, snatching the fate of others without seeing himself, until the day of destruction arrives.
Phoenix thinks he has no ability to subvert the world, but it is just a name, a blessing of birth, and a stumbling child. Why should he be stingy with this trivial act of kindness?
As for the Eye of God, it really had nothing to do with him this time.
Phoenix took a look at the sky, and now he can go back just in time for dinner. Angel's Gift has Wendy's performance tonight, which he can't miss.
The way down the mountain went very smoothly. Suddenly, the white-haired android who had been following Phoenix silently spoke.
"Can I call you father?"
Huh? Phoenix stumbled and almost fell into the snowdrift on the roadside.
He was never called father.
As the God of Fire, Phoenix naturally has a family, but even so, they only call him king. As for Ariel, he is used to calling him Feni, and when he is angry, he will call the demon god by his real name.
Morax seemed to have said that parents would name their children, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
The first-generation Vulcan, whose mind couldn't be turned around for a while, brainstormed for three seconds, gave up thinking, and nodded slightly shyly, turning his back to the white-haired android.
"Of course, you are the first life I named!"
It is completely different from nicknames and nicknames. It is the original name given to a life when it is born, which is a very important thing.
"Father, are we going to Mondstadt?" Jedidiah asked in a quite natural tone without revealing Phoenix's nervousness.
To outsiders, this was a really strange scene. Two teenagers walking on the road, the taller one with white hair actually called the shorter red-haired boy in front of him serious, father.
Phoenix: Damn it, when can I return to my former tall self?
A shooting star flashed across the clear sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye. However, no one noticed that it had passed by.
