Chapter 7: The Starry Night (Part II)
"Boss?" Regner was stunned, he had only seen a proprietress in this inn, the fat woman, but he had never seen any boss.
"The owner is a nice guy, his name is Cook. "I was left in a slave market in a small city of Semrela, with no food or drink. They plan to sell me if anyone will buy me before I starve to death. If not, just starve me to death like that. ”
"......" Regner was silent, his fists clenched tightly, and what Erin told him was terrified, almost, almost that he would never see her again. But thankfully, the gods willing.
"The owner took pity on me and bought me, brought me back here, and gave me something to eat at the same time. I think if it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago. Erin said.
"And what about Mr. Cook?" asked Regner, and it could be said that without Cook, Irene would not have survived to this day, so he felt it necessary to pay a good visit to the kind gentleman to-morrow, and to give him a solemn thanks.
"Boss, he'......" A trace of sadness flashed in Erin's eyes, "He's dead." ”
Regner was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the proprietress seemed to have said that her man had died from excessive drinking.
"Died of alcohol?" Regner muttered.
"No, it's not!" Erin shook her head, "I don't know what's going on, but the boss is a very shrewd and capable man, he will never die of alcoholism, I always think his death is a little strange." ”
"Reha?" Regner frowned, and then said, "I'll help you investigate this, Mr. Cook has helped you, and that's a favor to me." I'm not going to let him die so inexplicably. ”
Erin looked at Regner, then smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Regner. ”
"Why do we two say anything thank you?" Regner laughed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, but then fell into an awkward silence, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was still a little difficult to get close to each other as in the past, and in the end, it was Erin who spoke first.
"Brother Regner?"
"Huh?"
"Tell me about your experience in the past few years, I always feel ...... You've really changed a lot. Erin said that the changes she said were not only in her appearance and personality, but also in terms of Regna's temperament.
Although Regner still hasn't jumped out of the circle of white, obscene, and giggling, Erin also clearly feels that Regner has a little more ruthless temperament in this unserious temperament, which Ragner never existed a few years ago.
"You're curious?" Regner asked.
"At least, I wonder why you're like this. ”
"It's a long story, and if you have the patience, I'll tell it to you. Regner nodded.
......
Regner gathered his thoughts, and our story began again......
(If I drag 500,000 words in this way, will someone shoot me to death with a brick?)
Throughout the evening, Regner recounted his experiences over the past two years in a smooth tone, while Erin sat quietly and listened quietly. Although he was injured a lot, I have to say that Regner's story in the past two years is indeed very exciting. She listened intently to Regner for more than two hours.
"That's it, I'm on the Western Continent again. Regner smacked his lips, his mouth was dry, and he continued: "Brother Cordak and Sister Vera are both good people with great affection, and it is the luck of my life to be able to meet them. And Anne and Ini ...... They are as important to me as you are to me. In fact, I now consider myself very lucky to have so many friends who can make my life. And all of this, Irene, you gave it to me. ”
"Me?" Erin was puzzled.
Regner said with a smile: "If it weren't for you at that time, I am afraid that I would have starved to death in the slums, and even lost my life, so naturally I would not have gotten these things." What's more, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have become extremely twisted and annoying in that dark slum, such a me, even if I survived, would be nothing more than a walking corpse. ”
"Really?" Erin lowered her head, she didn't expect her unintentional act of kindness to become so important to Regner. It seems that what my mother said is right, kindness will always be rewarded.
"Really. Regner said seriously.
"That'...... That Anne ...... "Erin didn't know what to call Anne Lot.
"Anne is older, I think the woman is older than me!" said Regner, whose true ages as he, Erin, and Anne Lott were a mystery. It's just that Regner instinctively feels that he's older than Erin and smaller than Annelot.
"The woman...... How can you call a girl that?" Irene gave Regner a blank look.
"Ordinary people want me to call me that, but I don't want to call it!" said Ragner, too.
"Humph!" Erin snorted, then continued, "Do you know Sister Anne's whereabouts now?"
"I don't know. Regner shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "But I'm not worried, I always feel like I can find her, just like I can find you." ”
"So, are you going to find Sister Anne?" asked Erin a little gloomily, although Regner came to help her this time, but he still had to leave after all, and he would continue to return to this life.
"No, Anne's matter is not urgent, she is probably really angry with me this time, so I think it is better to wait two more days for her to dissipate her anger. Regner shook his head and said, although a lot of time has passed, but once Regner thinks that he is about to face Annelot's "frozen rage", his scalp is numb, this girl may not have been so angry in more than ten years. Even if he loses himself, Regna feels that his own life is more important. Therefore, it is better to put this matter alone.
"That ......"
"Since that Bloody Hand Brotherhood dares to hurt you without knowing whether to live or die. A cold glint flashed in Regner's eyes: "Then I'll let this group of idiots disappear from this world forever." ”
"Brother Regner......" Erin hurriedly dissuaded, she has lived in Thorn Town for several years, naturally knows what a terrible bandit organization the Bloody Hand Brotherhood is, Regna actually said here to get rid of them, is this to send them to death?
But Regner waved his hand to stop Erin: "You don't have to persuade me about this, since they dare to hurt you, then I will make them pay." ”
"But you've already ...... the people who hurt me," said Irene.
"Those few were killed by me, but this kind of bandit gang does all kinds of evil, I killed these people, and I can't guarantee that no other guys will come over without knowing whether they are alive or dead. Anyway, they are all a bunch of scum and scum, and if they are killed, they will be killed. Regner shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, he saw what Erin was going to say, he preemptively said, "Okay Erin, you should know my personality too." If I decide on this matter, I won't change it, you don't have to worry about it, and don't persuade me again. Your task these days is to recuperate from your injuries and then prepare. ”
"......" Seeing that Regner was so resolute and knew that she couldn't persuade him, she sighed, and then asked a little strangely, "What am I going to prepare?"
"Leave here with me, of course. Regner said, "I'm here this time, so I'm naturally going to take you away." ”
"But the hostess ......," Erin stopped talking.
"Ah, don't bother with that fat woman. Regner rolled his eyes: "You're free, I don't believe she can say anything if I take you away." Can she still report to the police?"
"This ......" Erin was still a little hesitant, she always felt a little sorry for the proprietress for leaving like this.
"I can't stand you. Regner sighed helplessly: "Then I'll leave her a few gold coins as compensation when I leave, right?"
"Okay......" Erin finally nodded.
Regner looked at Irene, her long silver hair and the soft moonlight were intertwined, and she looked dreamlike under the hazy night, and if you didn't look at the hideous and terrifying face burned by the flames, Erin actually looked very beautiful in the moonlight.
He suddenly reached out and hugged Erin in his lap and hugged him in his arms, Erin instinctively struggled, but did not break free. Although it is late summer, the night breeze that has been blowing for so long still makes Irene feel a little cold. At this time, the body temperature from Regner's strong chest made her feel very comfortable, and she panicked into Regner's arms, and this comfortable feeling actually made her gradually feel a little sleepy.
"Never. Regner hugged Erin tightly and said softly, "I'm back, and no one will hurt you again." Erin, you don't have to be afraid. ”
"Uh-huh......" Erin said in a daze.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything in the future. Regner thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "I promise you that I will take care of you in the future, and I will also heal the wounds on your hands and face so that they become what they should be, I promise you." Do you believe me?
Erin didn't answer this time, and Regner looked down a little strangely, only to find that Erin was asleep in his arms. In her sleep, Erin was as quiet as a kitten, her long silver hair hanging down her face, covering the scars on her face, and her slightly plump breasts rose and fell steadily, and if Regner listened closely, he could hear her even breathing.
"Little lazy bug. Regner couldn't help but smile softly.
However, Regner didn't know that this was the first time in several years that Erin was able to let go of all her psychological baggage and sleep peacefully. Although she has lived in the town of Thorn for more than ten years, Erin still has a strange and fearful feeling about this town.
Therefore, in the past few years, she has always been a little vigilant and afraid of her surroundings, wary of the malice of the people around her, and afraid of the harm done to her by the people around her.
It wasn't until today, until Regner came to her side, that she completely gave up all the defenses in her heart and slept peacefully. Because she knew that the man had returned, and his heart for her had never changed.
So, as in the past, she trusted him unreservedly. Believing that as long as he is there, then all danger and malice will be far away from him. And she was finally able to fall asleep in Regner's arms, quietly, unsuspectingly. Without a doubt, it was the sweetest night she had slept in years.
