Volume 1 Chapter 73 In the Tree

"I didn't expect to see you here. ”

"Meaning you've seen me somewhere else?" Thor looked up.

The voice sounded pleasant, and it was obvious that the other party was a young girl, but from the tone of the other party's voice, it made Thor feel as if they were old friends who knew each other very well.

Thor looked up and saw her sitting on a thick branch of a tree above him, with a smooth and well-proportioned calf under her long skirt and a pair of low-cut soft leather boots on her feet.

Looking further up, it seems that he has gone beyond his field of vision, and can only see a vague outline.

She didn't answer Thor's question, but just stretched out her palm and patted it lightly on the trunk of the tree beside her, as if motioning for Thor to go up and sit.

Thor glanced back in the direction of the glowing dining room, and without squirming, turned and grabbed the low branch of the tree, and a few of them climbed up and sat down beside the girl.

After sitting down, he realized that the view here was good, and the view from the walls of the Lord's Mansion could penetrate far away, and he could take in the bustling night view of the new town.

"Why do you look like you're panting a little?" asked Thor with a casual tilt of his head.

"I've also just arrived, so I'm probably in a hurry to climb the tree. The girl looked up at Thor and explained.

Thor didn't doubt that she had been doing anything strange before, but suddenly remembered the strangeness of the maid in the dining room, and inexplicably imagined a girl with a skirt running around the garden, and then climbing the tree at the end of the path in advance, waiting for her in the tree.

I guess I'm thinking too much, Saul thought.

Her gaze turned away the moment she looked up, but the next moment Thor stared at her face suddenly.

It wasn't that he knew the girl, Thor was sure he had never seen her, and it wasn't because of how scary she looked, on the contrary, she was beautiful, and just one glance made Thor go straight beyond the point of shock.

If you have to divide the beauty into layers, among all the opposite sexes that Saul knows, only Precia has really reached the amazing level, and the rest of Ruina, Erin sisters, and Chrissy only have their own beauty and vitality.

He never believed that there were any perfect people or things in the world, but at this moment, looking at the girl in front of him, the first thought that crossed Thor's mind was indescribable, then the word 'extreme', and finally reluctantly replaced it with 'perfect', which he never believed in.

It's like a legendary painting, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you'll never imagine it, you can't draw it.

Grey Curtain is a small place, but Thor is sure that his aesthetic will not deviate too much from the people around him. Of course, aesthetics is relative after all, and if you feel perfect, you may not be able to please everyone if you zoom in on the entire continent.

Among the knowledge he had come into contact with, he had heard that the legendary Queen Medusa of the Old Kingdom, the Holy Maiden of the Holy See of Light during the Bright Calendar, and the Queen of the Elves all had a prosperous appearance that could cause national wars.

Thor hadn't seen it, so naturally he couldn't believe it or not, but he now felt that if that level really existed, maybe it would be the girl in front of him. If Shogues had seen this face, he might have died on the spot.

And the biggest problem is that she appeared in this kind of remote wilderness, in the dark corner of the garden of the Lord's Palace, the contrast is too great. Looking at this beautiful face, Thor did not feel the slightest surprise, on the contrary, a strong guard rose in his heart.

A woman is too beautiful, if she doesn't have the strength to be strong, then whether she wants to or not, she will eventually be swept into the whirlpool of competition. It's like a prize of pure quality, only the truly brave deserve it.

That's not something Thor is able and willing to participate in, and it must be kept away.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Thor tilted his head to look at the faint lights in front of him with some self-deprecation, not thinking that he would also be so beautiful that he could not speak for a day.

"Aren't you going to the ball at the Lord's Palace?" Seeing that Thor was silent, the girl looked at the night scene in front of her and took the initiative to speak.

"I can't dance, and even if I go, I'll just swing like a duck. Thor replied nonchalantly, his vigilance gradually rising, but it seemed too rude to turn away without saying anything.

"Who are you?" Thor couldn't help but ask.

"You can call me Chryti. The girl replied.

Thor pursed his lips, what did he really mean by his question, what is your status in the Lord's Mansion, the girl in front of him is wearing a long dress with a tuck at the waist, judging from the embroidery patterns and corsage pendants, it will definitely not be the level of a maid.

He couldn't judge for a while, but he didn't ask, after all, it was a bit aggressive.

"You know me?" Thor then asked his biggest doubt.

"If you want to talk about acquaintance, I should say one-sidedly, in fact, I once peeked at you. Chletty said suddenly.

Saul felt the word strangely, and suddenly felt a sense of extreme absurdity, as if he had suddenly become a monkey dancing in the wilderness, all the while being shrouded by a certain line of sight in the dark.

But what is there to peek at in his life full of cobwebs?

"Behind the old pillar in front of the convent's transept, there have been times when I have hid there, watching you silently chopping wood and fetching water, and watching you live in your own world. ”

"Actually, the reason for noticing you in the first place is not complicated. ”

"Once I went to the monastery for a family sacrifice, and I was bored when I saw a sneaky figure groping into the basement, and I thought to myself, there is only a utility room and an underground library down there, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Since then, I don't know when I started to subconsciously care about you, like in the backyard, when you weren't there on an occasion where you should have been, it felt like a broken painting. ”

"Then I will subconsciously look for you everywhere, until I see you alone and silently hugging your knees in a corner, and I will feel that this is normal. ”

As if thinking of something funny, Cletti in the narrative suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Of course, I've seen you pinned down to the ground by a few other big boys, your face being trampled into the dirt, and you're embarrassed. ”

Thor was still listening in disbelief, and his face gradually darkened.

"It seems that you like to tell other people's dilemmas as jokes, and you enjoy them. ”

"Sneaky? Holding your knees alone? Being stepped on in the face? Well, even if you did peek at me, why can't you remember the better things and hold on to my troubles? Do you have to be so mean?" Thor twitched his cheeks.

"Who called you so hateful?" Chletty wrinkled her nose.

"I'm disgusting, I've been trampled into the dirt, okay?" Thor laughed a little.

Chletty turned her head to stare at Saul, and suddenly said with a playful expression:

"After all, you once threatened me to keep me in the dark forever. ”

"Stay in the dark...... Wait, it's you!?" Thor said as if he had been struck by lightning.

At one point, he had discovered that someone other than himself occasionally visited the basement library of the abbey, fearing that the person would steal his favorite books, so Thor had left a threatening note, but he never found the person.

Chletty looked at Thor with a teasing expression and smiled.

"I thought apathy was the constant sight on your face, but you've been shocked twice today. Then I found out that a few books were missing, "The Wind from the Wilderness", "Another Humanity", "On the Possibility of Dwarves Raising Dragons", where did they go?"

Faced with Cretti's questioning, Thor turned his head a little uncomfortably and shrugged his shoulders.

"I haven't been able to find you, so I thought about it, and the best way to be afraid that someone else would steal the book was for me to steal it in advance. In other words, the best way to be afraid of someone else's selfishness is to be more selfish than someone else. ”

Chletty smiled mischievously.

"As good as you may have to say, I'm sorry I've added shamelessness to your trait. ”
