Chapter 340: Northern Hegemony (14)

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Todd, who was unable to sit still, read the material report at a glance and ten lines, signed a string of opinions and threw it back to Ackerman.

The latter picked up the document and said, "Boss, there is a celebration in the clan tonight, and the leaders want to invite you to a banquet. ”

"Not tonight. Todd said categorically, "I have something." ”

Ackerman squeezed his eyebrows: "I heard that there are slave girls dancing, the kind of ...... without clothes"

"Not available. ”

Under Ackerman's surprised gaze, Todd strode out of the tribal hall and headed straight back to the camp's small building.

As soon as she pushed open the door and saw Reicher lying on the table and busy sorting out her papers, Todd tiptoed past her and hugged her with a pounce.

Rachel let out a scream, flipped his palm, and activated his mental power, and Todd's body floated into the air, completing a 360-degree spin before falling to the ground.

The frightened Rachel turned around and saw Todd lying on the ground grinning, and was angry: "You almost scared me to death!"

Todd made an innocent pose on the ground: "You made me come to you." ”

"Tonight, I'm talking about tonight!It's only afternoon!" Rachel stretched out his leg and gave Todd another kick, "Didn't you always come back after dark?

Todd said with a smile: "There are few things today, plus I can deal with it quickly." ”

With that, he stood up and put his hands on the corners of Richel's skirt again.

The latter slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at Todd, "What's the hurry! ”

"Hot water?what do you want hot water?!"

"You've been busy lately, aren't you going to take a shower first?"

Todd immediately reacted, and said hurriedly: "It's good to take a bath, you should take a bath!"

"I've told my servants to prepare hot water, and it will be delivered in about an hour or two. ”

"An hour or two?!" Todd's face instantly fell: "Hmm...... Richer ...... Actually, if you think about it, it seems that it doesn't matter if you don't take a shower beforehand......"

Rachel smiled and pushed away Todd who came over: "That's not good, you go out first, find a random place to pass the time, and come back when it's dark." ”

Todd tried to tell something, but was pushed out of the small building by Rachel without saying anything.

Looking at the closed door behind him, Todd sighed helplessly and wandered around the square boredly.

It so happened that Ackerman walked through the square with several gladiators, and saw Todd bowing and saluting.

Todd glanced at these people and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

Ackerman scratched the back of his head, "Boss, I told you before...... Tribal gatherings. ”

"Oh?"

Ackerman leaned closer and added in a whisper, "Have you forgotten the ...... of slave girls dancing without clothes?"

Todd, who looked depressed, waved his hand vigorously: "Get out!"

Finally wandering outside until it was dark, Todd knocked on the door of the small building, and heard Richel's voice coming from inside.

"Come in, second floor bedroom. ”

Todd suppressed the uncontrollable excitement in his heart, took three steps and made two steps, and quickly scurried up the stairs into the bedroom on the second floor.

The mist transforms the room into a dreamlike space, and the faint scent of flowers wafts to every corner.

Todd walked to the center of the room, where a large bathtub with a length of two meters and a height of about eighty centimeters was resting, emitting warm waves of moisture, delicate freshly picked petals gently swaying with the water lines, and dozens of candles surrounding the room, emitting a warm and ambiguous light.

Todd whispered, "Richel?"

A moment later, a low reply came from the room: "Come in the tub." ”

Todd swallowed, took off his clothes, and walked into the tub with a little nervousness and excitement.

The temperature of the water is neither high nor low, and the amount of water is just enough to reach the chest when you sit in it.

Todd, who was completely surrounded by the warmth around him, rested his arms on either side of the tub, put the back of his head on the wooden cushion behind him, raised his head to look at the ceiling, closed his eyes gently, and exhaled slowly, forgetting all his worries for a while. For him, it is really a great joy in the world to be able to soak in a rare hot bath after being busy.

Once his body was completely relaxed, Todd's feet stretched forward, only to touch a soft object.

"What is it?" Todd was startled, straightened his upper body suddenly, hesitated for a moment, then put his hand in the water and reached forward, and his fingertips touched something that looked like 'black duckweed'.

Suddenly, a woman with no wisps of clothing suddenly came out of the water of the bathtub and made a large splash.

Her delicate facial features are flawless, her skin is as white as snow jade, the flush on her cheeks makes people can't take their eyes off, and the long breath holding makes her cough and wheez.

Seeing the appearance of the woman in the water clearly, Todd gasped: "Deirdre?!"

Looking at the man in front of her, Deirdri's eyes widened, her supple black hair was still dripping with warm water, and her pink cheeks turned red due to shyness.

The latter looked at the scene in front of him, his throat was a little dry, and his brain was in confusion: "You...... Why are you here?"

"I asked her to come. ”

Rachel's voice rang out behind Todd, and a plump and warm body stepped into the tub and clung to the latter's back.

Looking at the shyness of the woman in front of him and feeling the snuggling of the woman behind him, Todd suddenly had an illusion like a dream, and even spoke a little intermittently: "All this...... What the hell is going on......?"

Richer leaned her head over Todd's shoulder, her delicate plump lips whispering in the latter's ear, "Isn't this a tradition of another world?"

"Another world's traditions?" Todd snapped back to his senses, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

"At this time, do you still want to play stupid?" Richer gently pinched the back of Todd's neck with his fingers, "I've seen the treasures you collected, and there are a lot of memory mirrors in them, and they are all these things......"

At this time, Todd wanted to cry without tears: "Richel, I think you misunderstood, the thing you said is not a traditional ...... at all"

Listening to the argument between the two behind her, Deirdre cautiously glanced back, and happened to meet Todd's eyes, so frightened that she quickly turned her head again.

Todd stared at the woman in front of him: "So how do you explain her matter?"

Rachel reached out and redirected Dildre, who was curled up on the edge of the tub, with her mental power, forcing her to face her: "Todd, this is a poor woman, she has been regarded as a cursed individual since she was a child because of her psychic abilities. Do you really think that her father and her people see her as their own kind? They forbid her to use her abilities, completely negate her talents, make her compromise in low self-esteem and self-blame, and define herself as a superfluous being. ”

Rachel looked at the shy and sad face in front of ......her, and said calmly to Todd: "Look at her, talk to the dead, summon the souls of the dead, will anyone in this world accept such a woman as a partner? Or are you going to let her feel sorry for herself like this and die alone?"

Todd shook his head slightly: "Reichell, you may be right, but feelings should not be based on needs. ”

"So you're worried she's forced?" Richer chuckled and said to Deirdre, "Tell him." ”

Dildri, who buried her body in the water, blushed and shook her head desperately: "No one...... Force me to ......"

Rachel gently bit Todd's earlobe, looked at the surprised expression that was close at hand, and muttered: "My love, life is like the night falling, the sun is sinking, make good use of every minute and every second tonight......"

The arm brought a splash of water, and the candles in the room were extinguished, leaving only the souls intertwined in the darkness. ()
