Alfred

Xie Qing sat on the couch and looked at the old man with interest. He was explaining to him the rules of the Supernatural world and general knowledge.

"Sir Alfred, I beg your pardon, but do all creatures undergo such training?" Alfred is the old man who visited him. Upon hearing Xie Qing's question, he smiled.

"Of course not. You are an unusual case... And my reason for visiting is much more than explaining the rules." Alfred smiled good-naturedly, but Xie Qing grew alert.

Naturally, Alfred noticed this, but said nothing. The old man continued to explain, and Xie Qing listened to him.

Most likely, Xie Qing's transformation had been detected by a powerful figure, but he still did not understand how.

And so, Alfred explained for hours, and Xie Qing listened to him. When the atmosphere became calmer, the old man fell silent.

Xie Qing looked at him and waited for the old man to speak. After a few minutes, he spoke.

"In fact, I am of the angelic race. The reason for my coming is to recruit you."

The angel race!

Since ancient times, angels have been considered messengers of light and saviors of the world. They were close to people and helped them.

They had an innocent but very fair personality. Each angel had a beautiful appearance and blond hair, as well as the famous white wings.

Xie Qing raised an eyebrow and looked puzzled at the old man. The man, noticing his gaze, suddenly stood up.

Shuh!

Two pairs of angel wings appeared behind his back, shining with divine light.

Xie Qing frowned and felt a slight tingling sensation all over his body as well as a burning sensation.

"I see, I believe." Xie Qing nodded and smiled at the old man, ignoring the pain.

Alfred smiled, too, and put his wings away, sitting back down on the couch. He looked at Xie Qing and nodded.

"Just as I thought, you have an amazing resistance to light magic, even if I was holding back."

"О? Now I see why I felt the tingling..." Xie Qing nodded indifferently. After all, his race belonged to the Abyss, which made him a bit weak in front of light magic.

Alfred was surprised by the word 'tingling', but decided to let it pass his ears. The old man merely shook his hand and four objects appeared on the table.

"If you join us, we will give these items to you. We will also provide full support."

"This is all very tempting, but what do you want from me?" Xie Qing smiled and rested his hand on his chin.

"We don't ask for much. We need you to help us when we ask for help."

"Easy."

"We'll also need to use your name to intimidate other factions."

"I don't really get it, but that's easy, too."

"And also, this is more of a request than a condition, but. we want you to take a member of the Angel race as your wife."

"Easy... А?"

Xie Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man, who smiled at him good-naturedly.

He used to feel that he was being deceived. Weren't these terms too favorable for him?

But... Marriage?

"Why would I want to marry someone of your race?" Xie Qing looked at Alfred puzzled.

"It is to make others think you are very close to the angels." Alfred smiled and answered frankly.

Xie Qing looked at him in surprise. This old man was too frank, but he liked that attitude.

For a moment, Xie Qing imagined an angelic wife. The image of a blond girl with a halo appeared in his mind, looking at him tenderly and lovingly.

"That's... ugh..."

Xie Qing felt an inner discord between himself and sighed sadly. The choice was difficult, but as a true man with a pure mind, he certainly answered...

"I AGREE!"

***

Alfred bowed briefly and walked away into the portal. The portal disappeared, and the door returned to its place.

Xie Qing squinted and covered his face with his hands. Suddenly he squatted down.

"What the hell!!! What the hell else "I agree?!" To hell with my weakness for pretty girls! GHAA!".

Black energy burst out of his body, destroying the closet and the chandelier. Upon noticing this, Xie Qing calmed down.

He had completely forgotten that emotions could affect his power. Taking a breath, Xie Qing sighed.

"I don't care, it doesn't matter now. I need to prepare myself."

Xie Qing slapped his cheeks. He remembered his conversation with Alfred. They had agreed then that Alfred would come to him in a day and take him to Heaven.

Heaven is the space above the clouds, invisible to mortals. That's where the angels live.

It is considered one of the sacred places, where holy energy is abundant. So Xie Qing is a little hesitant.

Xie Qing looked at the table. There were four items that Alfred had left as a welcoming gift.

They were called: Ring of Light, Embrace of the Guardian Angel, Necklace of Healing, Gloves of Light.

[Item name: Ring of Light

Rarity: Epic.

Description: Ring created by an Angel of the highest rank. +40% to defense against magical attacks of Light].

[Item name: Guardian Angel's Embrace

Rarity: Epic.

Description: Cloak that protects from power type attacks. Can restore own damage].

[Item name: Healing necklace

Rarity: Epic.

Description: The necklace can help heal wounds. Can heal even severed limbs. Appearance of the item can be changed].

[Item name: Gloves of Light

Rarity: Epic+

Description: Elegant white gloves for men. Increases resistance to light magic].

He had three epic level items, and the last one was even "epic+"! It was enough to show the angels' favor.

Honestly, Xie Qing preferred to cooperate with angels rather than others.

Angels are known for their kindness and justice. Despite some cunning, they are still very pure.

In addition, angels have a great influence on the human race. They cooperate with elves, fairies, and other good races.

Therefore, it will be profitable for him. Xie Qing sat down on the couch and looked at the objects. He decided to put them on.

It was a little hard at first, but he soon got used to them and was able to harness their power. He looked very elegant and beautiful with these items.

The necklace, by the way, he turned into a cross-shaped earring. Xie Qing had seen it somewhere with a comedian, so he decided to repeat it.

Xie Qing nodded and left the house.

***

Heaven, the Palace of the Seraphim.

Four bright objects stood not far from each other. They had four wings and four heads.

Their bodies were so bright that it was impossible to distinguish their facial features. The brightest seraph spoke.

"Recently, Alfred went to see him. Any results?"

"Yes. He relayed that the Abyss Child is willing to cooperate."

"Good. We can use him to put pressure on the other hostile factions."

"Now we must think of ways to prove ourselves on the good side. Report him to Aria's Cherub. Let her do her duty."

Soon the figures disappeared from the palace.
