Leonard's eyes lit up. "So, do you want to go to the pub and play cards? I can bring Old Neil, Cohen... Haha, he can't. After Cohen got married, his wife has been controlling him very strictly. It's not like me who is free every moment now."
You are free every moment... To be honest, Leonard, this shows that even after you have become a saint, you are still a bachelor...
Zhou Mingrui looked at Leonard meaningfully, sighed at him, and then declined his invitation:
"No, Leonard, you know, I haven't seen Benson and Melissa for a long time. I still want to get together with them first, so playing cards with you guys can only be postponed for a while."
As he spoke, Zhou Mingrui smiled and said, "However, Leonard, the next meeting will be very soon. Perhaps it will be at my wedding? Then you can see me getting married at my wedding. By then, you will be the only single noble among our Nighthawks team."
Leonard's face froze.
……
In the house of the Hall family, although almost all of the surface industries had been destroyed in the previous turmoil, as almost everyone in the Hall family enjoyed the treatment of senior officials in the Loen government, the place where the Hall family lived now was not as big as before, but it was still relatively unattainable for ordinary people.
After all, among Hibbert Hall, Alfred, Audrey and Earl Hall alone, there were two high-ranking government officials, an archbishop of the church and a retired officer from the Loen Empire. Therefore, the treatment they received in the underground city could naturally be said to be quite good.
In order to take care of his wife, Earl Hall did not choose to build his new home in the underground world in the area where government officials lived. Instead, he changed his approach and got a larger living area in a slightly worse location.
At this moment, Audrey sat in her home, leaning gently on her mother's shoulder, and told her family about her choice.
Earl Hall and Hibbert both frowned slightly, although they both knew that the person Audrey had chosen was quite satisfactory to them and was many times better than the prince of the Kingdom of Loen before.
But one is a father and the other is Audrey's brother, and their feelings are a little complicated at the moment.
If I had to put it in words, it was like the feeling that the flowers they had carefully cared for for more than 20 years were finally taken away with the pot. Even though it was an angel who took the pot away, they still felt reluctant to let it go.
The expressions on Audrey's mother's face, who was beside her, and Alfred's face, who was sitting opposite her, were closer to relief and joy.
After all, Audrey did not marry an ordinary man, but an angel. Although Audrey is still young, she is already an adult in the Loen Republic and is old enough to get married.
Not to mention, since she married an angel, their offspring might be blessed by the gods - this was a little thought of the old nobility.
As for Alfred, he had experienced war and just hoped that there would be someone who could protect his sister.
Earl Hall took a sip of coffee, and after calming down his complicated mood, he slowly spoke to Audrey:
"I never thought that our 'Miss Jewel' would get married so early."
"That's a title from the past, dear father. Every time I talk about 'Backlund's most dazzling gem', I feel a little embarrassed. However, no one has called me that for a long time." Audrey smiled from the bottom of her heart and smiled at her father in front of her:
"I know what you want to say, Dad. He proposed to me personally. Please don't forget that your daughter is a 'psychologist'. I am very satisfied with my choice of him."
"Alas..." Earl Hall sighed, shook his head gently, and said helplessly to Audrey in front of him:
"If that's the case, I would never have asked him to be your teacher no matter what. Can you tell dad about him? What kind of person was he before he became an angel?"
"Hmm..." Audrey organized her words. Even she couldn't think of how to explain Klein... Now it was Zhou Mingrui's life journey.
After all, for ordinary people, or even extraordinary people, Zhou Mingrui's life is a little too incredible.
Three years as a true god, five years as the Old One. Even if the True God and the Old One were replaced by demigods and the Angel King, it still seemed unbelievable in the eyes of others. Therefore, Audrey changed her story and used Klein's identity as a god-favored person to make Klein's story in this era more feasible to her parents.
“He is the follower of Mr. Fool and the Goddess of Night. He has been sleeping since ancient times. After waking up, he first joined the Church of the Goddess of Night…”
With the addition of the prefix "the favored one of the two gods", Klein's somewhat fantastical path to becoming a god (although Audrey told her family that he was an angel) seemed much more credible.
The whole family listened to Audrey's words until she finished telling the story of Zhou Mingrui's growth, deleting some content that was inconvenient for others to know. Then Earl Hall slowly let out a sigh:
"People who are blessed by the gods..."
He also has a deep faith in the Goddess of Night, and the Hall family are all believers of the Goddess of Night.
That was why, after hearing that this person was favored by the Goddess of Night and other gods, the dissatisfaction in his heart about marrying off his daughter disappeared, and what remained was only a little worry about his daughter's future.
After all, Earl Hall also knew that after becoming a demigod, divinity would combine with humanity to compete with each other. And the higher the sequence, the more inhumane it would be - he didn't know that his daughter was about to become an "angel".
Audrey smiled as she answered all the questions her family members asked because they were concerned about her. A ray of sunlight passed through the top of the dungeon, and the device made of extraordinary characteristics was reflected from the outside world, and slowly fell from the sky.
——Sprinkled into the windows of every household and into the eyes of every resident.
At this moment, most people subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the place where the light was coming from. In this closed underground, the light sources that can be seen at ordinary times are usually simulated by extraordinary characteristics.
Now that this has happened, they know that what is coming down from the sky at this moment is real sunlight.
On the other side of the ocean, Zhou Mingrui was walking forward step by step.
Zhou Mingrui was bathed in the slanting sunset. He walked forward, looking at the familiar street scene in front of him that he had seen in the God-Forsaken Land. With a little trepidation in his heart, he walked towards Benson and Melissa's home in his windbreaker.
At this moment, the Lord of Mysteries, who should have been the best at deceiving others, seemed a little uneasy. He took a deep breath, walked towards the door in front of him, and gently pressed his hand on the handle.
"It's okay... Klein and I are the same person. Well, we inherited each other's memories. Lao Gao also told me that Benson and Melissa will not be alienated from me because of my identity..."
Zhou Mingrui was talking to himself and after hesitating for a long time he did not push open the door, as if this door was even harder to open than the door leading to the Western Continent.
Just as he was about to make up his mind to push the door open, he saw it slid open on its own. He watched Benson walk with Klein Moretti, who looked very similar to him, and a hint of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.
However, the next moment, he saw Melissa, who was following behind the two men, with her eyes lit up. She rushed forward like a little girl and threw herself into his arms. Melissa buried her head in Klein's chest:
"Klein! I was talking to Benson and Klein, wondering when you would be back. Um, now there are two Kleins. What should I call you?"
Halfway through her speech, Melissa suddenly lost her confidence and spoke to Benson and another Klein Moretti in front of her.
Moretti, who was standing opposite Zhou Mingrui, smiled and said slowly to Melissa in Zhou Mingrui's arms:
"Perhaps, Melissa, next time you want to call us, just call 'Klein'. Then the two of us will come together. Or, you can also call us by our names - the two of us will be able to tell which 'Klein' you are calling."
He raised his head, looked at Zhou Mingrui who was a little nervous, and smiled at him gently. Zhou Mingrui's expression was even more moved, and he also showed a smile on his face, but saw Benson walking towards him with a serious look.
Benson finally opened his arms and smiled at Zhou Mingrui:
"Welcome home, little Klein."

"It seems like a lot of things have happened. I can't even imagine what our family would have been like without you."
Benson listened to Klein's account of what he had experienced in the past few years and why Klein gave up the interview on the eve of the interview.
Only then did they realize that since that time, their brother had already experienced death quietly.
Melissa rubbed her eyes and finally managed to control her emotions. She said to the two Kleins in front of her:
“Klein, you…you all have worked so hard.”
Melissa didn't know how to express her thoughts. Moretti shook his head and said softly to his sister:
"On our journey, we have encountered pain and also gained something, but at least the ending is good, and we don't have to sit by someone else's grave and reminisce about the past."
"When I died because of the Antigonus family's notes, he came here and merged with the remaining part of my soul, and finally became completely one with me."
Moretti said with a sigh, "The moment I was resurrected, I became an angel. I haven't experienced much. And Klein... Zhou Mingrui, he was promoted slowly from Sequence Nine upwards."
Having said that, he changed the subject and said to Melissa in front of him in a different tone:
"In fact, I haven't been through as much as he has. Now everything is settled. If I remember correctly, Klein has also secretly married a beautiful lady."
Are you trying to change the subject? You don't want to talk about serious things, so you're shifting your focus to me? Zhou Mingrui opened his mouth, but he no longer felt uncomfortable.
But as expected, the next moment he saw Melissa turned her head and said to him:
"Really, Klein? Do you really have a lady you like now?"
Melissa's eyes sparkled as she spoke to Zhou Mingrui. Zhou Mingrui saw his sister like this and immediately found it difficult to refute her. He couldn't bear to disturb her excitement.
He could only smile helplessly: "Yes, I and a friend and comrade who fought side by side with me have decided to get married."
"Wow..." Melissa shouted in applause, her eyes gleaming with excitement, as if waiting for Zhou Mingrui's follow-up. Zhou Mingrui coughed:
"I came back this time for two purposes. The first is to reunite with you after a long time, and the other is to visit her parents formally and marry her in front of a few friends."
"That's great." Melissa looked at Zhou Mingrui in front of her for a few seconds, then slowly let out a long breath: "Who is the lady you like?"
"Audrey Hall." Zhou Mingrui's face lit up with a smile, and he said to his sister:
"Speaking of which, I'm going to visit other members of the Hall family in two days. Do you want to come with me?"
“Okay… But, Klein, that’s a big family, right? If we go there, will we be a little…” Melissa suddenly became worried.
Zhou Mingrui immediately laughed and said to Melissa in a humorous tone:
"Actually, Melissa, our family can now be called the 'Angel Family.' Think about it, 'Klein Moretti' is now a true angel walking on earth. Those ordinary nobles are no more noble than you."
"Now I can even say that the Moretti family name is superior to all the Beyonder families on this continent."
——Except for real creators.
"Moreover, after we survive the apocalypse, the extraordinary power may decline. The next era will be the era of ordinary people, and now Loen has become a republic. Of course, the old nobles no longer exist."
Benson laughed at the side:
"You're right, Klein. After all, we are family. I think it's necessary for us to go with you in this matter. When are you going to go?"
"Probably in the next two days."
Zhou Mingrui said solemnly to Benson and Melissa, and he touched his chin:
"But after I go back tomorrow, I will contact my family in 'that world' and invite them to come here to attend my wedding."
The family members Zhou Mingrui mentioned were his parents on the old Earth. Melissa, who was sitting opposite Zhou Mingrui, showed some understanding on her face:
"Klein has already told me. Well, I understand. Are they your father and mother from that ancient era?"
Even though Moretti had spoken to both of them about what might have happened in the olden days, and now that they had rebuilt the Earth from the olden days.
But for them, even though they already possessed a gift equivalent to Sequence Seven, they still found this kind of thing a little hard to believe.
If they had not received a better education and had not had a deeper understanding of the universe and the gods, it would have been more difficult for them to accept these things.
Zhou Mingrui smiled: "Yes."
Benson thought for a moment and tapped the table in front of him:
"Perhaps we should go with you, too. At least let your parents know that their son has family on another Earth."
"Klein, no, Zhou Mingrui. I think we should call you by your real name."
"Although you appeared to us as Klein for a long time in the past, after knowing your identity in the past few days, I regarded you as a substitute for Klein for a while, but this still cannot change the fact that we are a family."
Can two people with the same memories and shared experiences be called the same person?
This is a philosophical question, but for Zhou Mingrui and Klein who have each other's souls, Benson is willing to believe that they are both his brothers.
