Chapter 598: Birthday
"If it's okay in the evening, go to my place to eat. Little Mary misses you so much, she has asked many times why Brother Rorschach won't come to our house to play, is it because she hates Little Mary. ”
“........ Hemit, I'm really embarrassed, I have an emergency meeting in the evening, and I may have to work overtime. As for Little Mary....... How could I hate the cute little Mary, it's her sixth birthday, the second drawer in my office is a small gift for her, you help me give her, and apologize for the absence. ”
With that, Rorschach hurried out of the office.
It's not that the matter at hand is really urgent, he just doesn't know how to face this little brother who has followed him for more than ten years.
And the other party, when Rorschach saw it, he also dared to invite himself.
Hermit Kaisha, who has been Rorschach's deployment since his youth, served as Rorschach's bodyguard, secretary, and deputy for a long time, and then released to take charge of himself, if this is not a confidant, it doesn't matter.
It's just that thirteen or fourteen years have passed, and he has changed from an ordinary, proud, aristocratic young man who wears a tall inner cake to a middle-aged gentleman with a mustache and a tuxedo.
At the age of thirty-five, he is now the under-secretary for foreign affairs in the Federal Foreign Office of the Harait, and he has not held a sword for a long time when he has attended various official diplomatic occasions all year round.
But only those who were familiar with him in the Game Church knew that he was now a great sword master above the seventh order.
Time is not only about work history, but also about the pressure of plane warfare, and every Adventist of the Game Church always puts personal practice first.
And now, as a middle-aged diplomat, he is also relieved to look at his former boss who has fled.
In a sense, even though he held countless banquets and balls as a diplomat, he didn't know what to do if Rorschach really accepted his invitation.
Unlike the long-lived species in the church, thirteen years can be said to be a sea change for human beings.
Thirteen years ago, when he first became an Adventist, he was still a teenager pretending to be mature, and now he is a middle-aged man in his late thirties, not only has he started a family, but also has a cute six-year-old little angel.
Today is the little one's sixth birthday, and she also invited her "best friend/little brother" to her birthday party, singing birthday songs together, cutting cakes, and playing Barbie dolls together.
How could Rorschach be willing to go!
"Damn, how fast you grow, 6 years old is 1.2 meters, only a head away from me......."
Watching his peers fall in love, get married, and have babies, and then the dolls are almost the same as themselves, but he has never changed, and Rorschach is also a little helpless.
But these things can't be avoided,
Ordinary human beings, who debuted in their twenties and have worked for more than ten years, have almost everything they should have.
In the eyes of ordinary people, what is not normal is like Rorschach, more than ten years have passed, and nothing has changed.
Even if the appearance remains the same, even the mentality and personality remain the same as before, which is a bit scary.
But in fact, this is only a necessary skill for longevity, without this kind of protective slowness of self-knowledge, the aging of the mentality and soul is more fatal than the aging of the body.
The self-perception of the soul is often linked to the lifespan of the race itself, and among many species, human beings are the most sensitive, motivated, and have many desires, and they are very strong in their learning ability and motivation when they are young, and they are naturally prone to accumulate too many impurities in the soul.
Therefore, in addition to the spellcasters who always have countless knowledge and mysteries to pursue, other human warriors often do not live long even if they have a long lifespan, and the long years and experiences make them physically and mentally exhausted, and the disappearance of the people around them and the disappearance of things and things make them lose the motivation to continue walking.
Vaguely, Rorschach and Hemet don't have as good a relationship as they used to be...... No, the two sides are still hardcore, to be precise, they should not be as compatible and close as they were back then.
Back then, they were all young people who were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they roamed together in this unknown world, and it can be said that they lived a life of drinking and getting drunk today, and they didn't know what to worry about in the future....... But now, Rorschach is still a young man or even a teenager, Hermit has a lot of family and mouth, and even vaguely begins to withdraw from the most dangerous frontline, and the habits and interactions of middle-aged people and young people are always so subtle and incongruous.
Rorschach could understand it, and Hemet could understand it, and it wasn't anyone's fault, but the strange feeling was still a little subtle.
"Ah, why hasn't he changed at all, we're still different....."
Probably, sometimes there is still such an exclamation.
Sighing helplessly, it was time for Rorschach to go home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a blonde "girl" lying on the sofa playing mobile games, and on the floor were all kinds of takeout boxes, including pizza, fast food, coke and fries........ Anyway, it basically has a heavier taste, and there is basically no low-calorie and healthy.
“....... It's just you, and you'll probably never change......"
"Who said that, I've changed a lot lately. ”
"Huh, for example?"
"Heh, I'm level 100 in the fourth order, the whole body is epic 15, and the top ten 'girl, give the lord a smile' is me. ”
Rorschach was stunned for a while, only to realize that he was talking to a chicken and a duck.
"You've recharged your money to play a new online game? I mean a change in reality, not a game. ”
"Oh, that's a bigger change, and I'm mature now. ”
"Your skills in playing games have improved? Last week, you boasted to me that you can play seventeen mobile games at the same time, and you can clear your physical strength from morning to night?"
"Hehe, you underestimate me too much, how can the liver mobile game be updated from morning to night, from 4 am to 4 am...... Don't talk too far, I'm already a mature adult, how can I play all day long. ”
"What about you...... Didn't you make it to the top?"
"Haha, so I'm a mature adult, I have a salary and company dividends, and it's just a trivial matter to hire ten boosters. That's how adults play. ”
"Uh-huh, including putting pressure on the board of directors to have the game company design your own character?"
"How do you know, ah, it must be Nana who betrayed my ......"
I saw that there was no growth at all in front of me...... To be precise, his girlfriend, who has grown a lot on the road to the abandoned house, Rorschach breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
"This guy is probably staying at home until the end of the world, and there will be no change. ”
Probably the most incredible thing for others is that the pair of Rorschach and Isabella not only did not break up as quickly as everyone expected, but became unusually stable over time.
As for whether there is any further development...... Probably before Rorschach entered puberty, there was no after.
It's just that every time he comes home from a hard job outside, looking at Isabella who seems to be the same, Rorschach can always breathe a sigh of relief.
"How's it going over there?"
But to really say that Isabella has not changed at all is also to say nonsense with her eyes open.
"It's okay, it's just that the replacement of the magic armor is not too fast. Our talents are familiar with the fifth-generation aircraft, and they began to replace the sixth-generation aircraft, and I heard that the sixth-and-a-half-generation testing machine is also about to be finalized. If the update is too fast, our people will not be suitable, and we will not be able to form combat effectiveness. ”
"Heh, isn't it a good thing for a warrior to have a good thing to keep up with or even surpass the times. Doesn't this mean that our technology is significantly ahead of its time? ”
Now Isabella, the source of her damaged magic power has been restored, and her personal strength is ....... Maybe many people don't remember, she was the strongest person in the game church before Lynn joined, and now she has not only come out of the quagmire of root damage, but also gone one step further with years of accumulation and become the highest-level spellcaster on the surface of the game church.
Isabella, an eighth-order archmage, although not necessarily the highest combat power of the game church, is definitely at the forefront.
And considering her character and ability, she is now also an officer of the Air Cavalry Regiment, the honorary vice chairman of the Joint Committee of the Air Cavalry Combat Regiment, and the official general, the theoretical boss of the top five sequences of the Air Force.
However, if any official position is hung with an honor, it means that it is not counted at all.
As far as Isabella is lazy, no one will hand over the Air Force to her and let her be in charge.
Her main job now is actually to teach the captain of the brigade, and to train the elite backbone, squad leader, and ace pilots to teach the captain of the brigade....... To put it bluntly, it is the head of the ace and the teacher.
In fact, it proved that the job was quite suitable for her, and Rorschach actually heard praise about Isabella from other people, but once she came home from vacation, she instantly became this virtue.
“...... This ground should be three days of takeaway, and if you don't pull it out to dry, it will be moldy. ”
So, quite simply, Rorschach changed his mind.
"Hemmit's little Mary is six years old today, the same bear boy who always calls you little aunt, and he invites us to dinner, won't you go and talk?"
There was no reaction after speaking, but Rorschach was used to it and knew how to deal with it.
"If you don't go, the power will be cut off, the network will be cut off, the water will be cut off, and the krypton gold will be cut off, and if you go, I will cover it this month......"
Well, Isabella had already appeared outside the door, looking at him with a look of "why are you so slow".
