Chapter 40: Memories are Few

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and by this time Regner and Annelot had gathered.

Regner couldn't help but smile as he looked at Anne Lot, who was as elegant and quiet as a lily not far away. He remembered that the first time he had a good chat with Anne Lot, it was also on such a quiet snowy night.

At that time, Regner was just a timid and powerless kid who had just stepped into the mercenary industry. And now he has become a mature young man in charge of the intelligence lifeblood of the Hawke Empire, and he has become the terrifying assassin that everyone talks about - the dark elegy.

And at that time, Anne Lott was just a girl with the president's entrustment. She was very simple in her desire to carry out the tasks given to her by the president. But she never imagined that her thoughts would gradually change in this accumulated relationship. She is no longer a girl who is as cold as a machine, but a person with her own thoughts and desires, a real person.

Anne Lott made Regner a young man who grew into a man of courage and strength. And Regner also made Anne Lot, turning this cold girl into a lively and spiritual girl.

Although now, she has lost most of her memories...... But Regner believes that there are things that are never lost forever with the loss of memory.

Regner sighed as he walked over to Annelot's side. He scratched his head like a young man who was late for a date, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm late, I've been waiting for a long time, haven't I? I'm sorry to have you wait so long on such a cold day." ”

"You should know that ordinary cold is of no use to me. And......" Anne Lot's eyes were filled with a hint of disdain, and she continued, "If you want to imitate what a couple wants to happen on a date, then I'm going to spoil the atmosphere for you!"

"Okay, okay, you win......" Regner smiled wryly and raised his hand in surrender.

"No more nonsense, let's go!" Anne Lot, ignoring Regner, walked to the west gate on her own.

......

After the two of them came to the west gate, they easily left the city after a brief interrogation by the guards. They walked some more distance, and after making sure they were out of Melindell's spatial interference circle, Annelot stopped.

"Stand here and don't move!" said Anne Lott coldly. Since she is out of the city gate, it is better to use teleportation to hurry faster, and she knows about the small lake on the outskirts of the West Gate. If you just walk, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.

"Oops......" Regner stood there obediently.

Then Annelot frowned, because teleportation must have physical contact with that target if it wanted to carry someone. Anne Lot held out her little hand reluctantly, and Regner shook it.

When the palms of the two hands touched, the muscles in Annelot's whole body tensed up significantly. But she quickly controlled herself, and the Frost Maiden cast her spell quickly, and two seconds later, they appeared directly on the lakeside.

"Looks like the boss hasn't arrived yet!" Regner looked around, the lake wasn't too big, and it was surrounded by bare plains, and there weren't too many trees. Although it is snowing a lot, Regner has good night vision as a shadow dancer, so he can still see his surroundings clearly. He didn't notice Kordak's tall frame.

"Then we'll wait here. Anne Lott swung a spell to blow the snow off a large rock, and sat down on it.

Regner leaned in, and without saying a word, began to pull the snow aside next to Annelot. In fact, he can blow the snow clean with his fighting spirit, but Regner is a thief, and he knows Annelot's character, so he deliberately does not do it.

Sure enough, Anne Lot couldn't bear to see Regner working silently. She whipped another gust of wind and blew Regner's side clean.

Regner smiled with a little conspiracy and sat down, right back to back with the Frost Maiden.

Anne Lott turned her head away, and she flicked the snowflakes above her head. Although it is impossible for Annelot, who is a water repellent, to catch a cold or catch a cold. But it would be uncomfortable to let the snowflakes melt into water on your robes. So Annelot held up a low-level force field shield again, so that all the snow could not fall.

Regner looked at it, but still didn't say a word, he tried to shake the snow off his body against the wind and snow. And he shivered from time to time as if he felt cold, in fact, with his current strength, how could ordinary cold have any effect on him?

Anne Lot listened to Regner's trembling voice, and finally sighed as if admitting defeat: "Is this how you took advantage of my sympathy in the first place?"

"......" Regner stiffened for a moment, then he smiled calmly. This guy didn't do anything to pretend to tremble anymore, he slightly stimulated his fighting spirit, shook the snow all over his body, and then said, "You're only half right." ”

"Half?"

"You have always been a very compassionate person. Regner reminisced about the past, and then said slowly, "But I never took advantage of this about you, and perhaps you really sympathized with me." But I haven't taken advantage of, at least, I've never thought of using it to do anything selfish, that's what I swear. ”

"......" Anelot looked back to see that snow had fallen on Regna again, and she recited two incantations and added a force field shield to him. After doing all this, Annelot continued: "Let's go over...... What happened?"

"......" Regner was silent after hearing Anne Lot's question, and after a long time, he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: "You...... Do you really not remember anything?"

"I don't quite understand what I was thinking now. Annelot furrowed her little eyebrows, as if trying to remember something: "Everyone is obviously talking about the relationship between you and me...... That's it. But I don't understand if it's really someone who is important to me. Why didn't I back up a little more memory at that time? If it was someone who was really important, I would have put all the memories of that person in my head, right? But now I don't have any other memories of you except for a few labels and a few important memory points. This confuses me. ”

"So, you think everyone else is lying to you?" Regner smiled bitterly, he now finally understood why Anne Lot's attitude towards him had not been very good all the time. I don't have any memory, so it's like a stranger, right?

If such a person suddenly jumps out and says to you that I am the most important person to you, and you are about to become my wife, will you be willing to accept him? Normal women would not be willing, would they? And if it is Anne Lot's kind of character, it is not an abnormal thing to just have a fireball and a face, right?

Thinking of this, Regner couldn't help but wonder why Anne Lot didn't do this. In fact, Anne Lott herself did not know the reason.

"I know you're not lying. Annelot shook her head, and she said with some pain, "But I just can't accept it." At least for now, I can't accept it. ”

"I can understand that it's not your fault, Anne. Regner's heart twitched slightly, but he still spoke comfortingly, "As I said before, just do what you want." I'm confident that if I can make you like me once, then I'm confident that I'll make you like me a second time, a third time!"

"......," Anelot blushed when she heard this. She turned her head and said with some annoyance, "Who likes you?!"

"Hmph!" Regner also turned his face and said, "Annie, you don't have any memory now, so naturally you don't know, in fact, you liked to stick to me before you lost your memory." You have to go with me when I go on a mission!"

"That's because you're too weak, and I'm afraid you'll die in the middle of the mission. Anne Lot coldly debunked Regner.

"Hey, I'm curious about what you've got in your memory!!, how can you remember all these things so clearly?!" Regner said almost with a wail.

"I ...... How do I know?" Annielot's face flushed again.

In fact, she knows this reason. Because before the amnesia, he put a lot of labels on Regner, and the first of them was: "need protection". And as if she was afraid that she would not believe it later, Anne Lot's memory stored many fragments of Regner's beating.

For example, Ini's house was besieged and bloody, and the martial arts competition was beaten by himself, and ...... After he was caught by the Red Flame Sorcerer, he was covered in scars and confused.

"Protect him?" said Annelot, though she didn't quite understand why she had put this label at the front of all labels. But she still felt like she was following her previous will.

......The two men fell into an awkward silence again, and Reg wondered for a long time, and finally cleared his throat and said, "Uh-huh, Anne, haven't you forgotten a lot of memories about me?"

"That's right. Anne Lot, still back-to-back with Regner, said, "Compared to Ini, Irene, and Father, I don't even remember a quarter of you. ”

"In that case. Regner proposed, "Anyway, there's nothing going on right now, so how about I tell you about what happened before?"

"......" Anne Lott hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Yes." ”

But the Frost Maiden added, "But you can't make it up yourself!"

"Don't worry, don't you know my character, I'm going to do business, I'm going to do business, I'm sure I'm an honest businessman who doesn't deceive!" Regner's chest thumped loudly.

Anne Lott thought about Regner's profiteer nature with Joffrey, and then she made up her mind to listen to all that Regner said next as a novel.

But Regner really wasn't lying, and he tried to tell the story as it was. In this way, he hoped to evoke Annelot's memories, but after telling the story of the trip to the Frozen Mountains, Annelot did not start to have a headache like the amnesiac characters in other stories, and then suddenly regained all her memories.

She just answered a few times, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ragnar sighed in disappointment, and then prepared to continue his account of Fars and the Mystic Eyes Mage's Guild.

But at this moment, a tall figure appeared from the blurred darkness in the distance.
