Don't call me evil god

Chapter 602 Meeting Parents

As the sky gradually darkened and it was approaching evening, after wandering around the old town for half a day, Gail and his three companions finally found Miranda's parents' home.

A two-story building that looks a bit old is hidden in a narrow alley that is only wide enough for two people to pass side by side.

Most of the buildings in the old city of the royal capital are like this. They are expanded as much as possible to accommodate the increasing number of family members. Many local people in the royal capital live together in the same house with 4 or 5 generations.

Therefore, the public passages left for people to walk have become much narrower, making the distances between houses appear somewhat cramped.

The exterior of the house where Miranda's parents live is decorated very warmly.

A wreath made of wheat ears and flowers is hung on the door. It is a commemoration of the Harvest Festival that just ended not long ago. People would hang wreaths on the door to pray to the God of Harvest to bless them and bring good weather and a good harvest in the fields in the coming year.

Further up was a wooden doorplate fastened with iron nails, with a few lines of beautiful cursive characters writing the name and address of the owner of the house:

"Old Town, 3 Matov Lane, Warren Family."

"Vance Warren & Vicki Tofka Warren."

"Miranda Warren."

Seeing the familiar, slightly childish handwriting on the doorplate, Gail smiled knowingly.

This was written by Miranda herself when she was a child. She also outlined it with beautiful patterns and drew two hearts next to it.

Although he had confirmed with Miranda in advance that the other party's parents were aware of his existence and had expressed their approval and welcome, which gave him peace of mind in advance, Gail was still a little nervous when he really stood in front of Miranda's house.

He walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

……

There was a response from the house soon.

"Hello, who is it?"

It was a gentle-sounding female voice, and it was somewhat similar to Miranda's.

Gail subconsciously said nervously: "Gail Franklin."

"I'm Miranda's girlfriend, er! No! Miranda is my boyfriend... No! That! I mean--"

Before he could finish his words, the door was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged woman who looked 8% like Miranda Warren gave Gail a big hug with a friendly smile on her face.

"Ah! Child, I know you!"

"I'm Miranda's mom, you can call me Vicky, or Aunt Vicky."

"Welcome! Come in with your friends! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The other person was wearing a set of gray and white home clothes, which was convenient for daily housework. He had an apron wrapped around his lower body and light yellow cloth shoes on his feet.

Somehow.

After being hugged by Vicky Warren, Gail's original nervousness instantly disappeared, and a feeling of relaxation arose spontaneously.

He had only felt this feeling before when he was at home.

"Gail, you guys must be hungry after all this journey. I made some pumpkin pie, cheese, and cut some ham. You must try them!"

Gentle Vicky naturally took Gail's hand, called Lena, Brandon and Dolan, and led them into the house.

"I heard yesterday that you guys would be here soon, but it's almost dark and I still haven't seen you. I was thinking maybe I should ask Vance to go out and look for you."

"Isn't it hard to find the way in the old city? We are not very conspicuous here." Gale shook his head hurriedly: "Fortunately, it is not that difficult. Miranda told me the specific location in advance."

He certainly would not admit that the four of them, in order to save face, had wandered around here for the entire afternoon without asking the locals in the old town for directions.

"Originally, she and I were supposed to come together, but Miranda received an invitation from His Majesty the King and has been receiving etiquette training these two days."

"Tomorrow morning we can go to the Avenue of Glory together to watch the ceremony. She will enter the palace from there."

When it comes to the king, Vicky is like a chatterbox:
"Oh! Come to think of it, yesterday was simply unbelievable."

"It was such an ordinary day."

"Three palace servants knocked on the door outside in the afternoon while I was still washing dirty clothes. They told me that my daughter had made great contributions to the kingdom and she would become a hero to be rewarded by the king himself!"

"Can you imagine?"

"The palace attendants were standing outside at the time. They saluted me, congratulated me, and said that Miss Warren asked them to tell me that you would arrive in the capital today."

"The news spread so quickly. Last night, it seemed like everyone in the old town knew that Miranda was going to be rewarded and canonized by the king. Everyone who saw Vance and I congratulated us with envy."

"God of Glory, I thought Mimi would become confused and lose her direction after leaving the Crusaders, and would need some time to figure out how to proceed in life."

As Vicky spoke, she couldn't help but kiss Gail on the side of her cheek.

"Mimi was able to find her goal so quickly, I have to thank you for your help and care!"

"I heard Mimi say it all in her letter. When she didn't know what to do, it was you who gave her the most important guidance and companionship."

Gail's face flushed red.

Miranda had written several letters to her family before, but Gail didn't know what was in the letters.

But judging from Vicky's reaction, he could already guess it almost exactly.

Gail gestured to Brandon a little embarrassedly, and the latter immediately understood and took out a gift box wrapped with a ribbon from the package he was carrying.

"Well... I prepared a gift for you, a little token of my appreciation, I hope you like it."

Vicky took the gift box in surprise, untied the ribbon gently, and saw the gift inside:
A palm-high white stone statue of the God of Light.

In the house lit by candles and oil lamps, the statue was emitting a bright and soft light.

This gift was made by a dwarf craftsman. When they learned that they had less than an afternoon to prepare before heading to the royal capital, Gale and his party had no time to choose a more suitable gift. So they simply used their connections in Stone Castle to snatch a statue of the God of Light that had been custom-made and completed not long ago, and used it as an emergency gift.

The reason for the glow is that a small amount of fluorite is mixed into the statue.

Gail learned from Miranda in advance that her parents were both devout believers of the God of Light.

You can't go wrong with a gift like this that's related to glow.

as predicted.

Vicky let out a low squeal of surprise, "Praise the glow! I love this gift so much!"

Then he couldn't help but kiss Gail on the face several times.

The difference between her attitude towards Gale and others and that of the local people in the capital whom they met in the old city was like heaven and earth!
