Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Round-Faced Girl
Originally, there was nothing wrong with killing Jiber, but after discovering his miserable marital status, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt for bullying honest people.
William looked at Pomona, who looked nonchalant and the corners of his mouth twitched awkwardly, feeling that the former marquise was really a little ...... It's a bit raw.
In the midst of everyone's complicated expressions, Pomona unloaded Hans from her back and threw it to the man in charge of treating the wounded, and then walked up to William with a big grin and patted him on the shoulder with admiration.
"You're good! Hans and I can see clearly from the tent that that old thing Gilbert is no match for you, and you are a good beater!
She stretched out her hand and gave her a thumbs up, and then said with great interest: "Are you interested in going to the north to see? The ladies over there like to be able to fight, if the queen doesn't want you, you can go to the north, and I will introduce you to a few ...... when the time comes."
Avril on the side looked at her with tears and laughter, a little helpless about this behavior of digging into her corner in front of her. Her Majesty the Queen shook her head and didn't say anything, but turned her head to look at the middle-aged beauty, and said with a gentle face:
"You two have been waiting for a long time, and now that the matter here is over for the time being, then come with me to the military tent to talk. ”
After saying that, Her Majesty the Queen turned over and got on her horse and took the lead in running towards the military tent in the distance, while the middle-aged beauty chuckled, gestured to the round-faced girl behind her, and then slowly followed with a dance-like step.
William shook off the chattering Pomona and was about to follow when a short sword suddenly crossed in front of him.
The girl with a round face did not follow, but stopped him with two short swords of wind and whispered, and said timidly:
"You...... You can't go over, Uncle Berry is saying things that only the saints can hear. ”
William's brow furrowed.
What the hell is going on with the saints, isn't this thing the vehicle for the coming of the true God? I remember the saints of the Church of Eros as a little girl, how did she suddenly become queens?
He squinted his eyes and looked at the backs of the two people who were far away, that women's clothing boss was a fourth-order flower whirlwind, if he really wanted to do something bad, no one present could stop him, and he felt that Avril should not be in any danger.
William leaned down slightly, and the round-faced girl, who was a head shorter than him, said, "Little girl, tell your uncle, why do you call Her Majesty the Queen a saint? ”
The round-faced girl's somewhat baby-fat cheeks bulged, and her short sword swung horizontally in front of her, and she asked angrily, "Who are you?" Uncle Berry has said that you are about the same age as me. ”
"That's because he's wrong. William lied without changing his face, pointed to the bearded cousin in the distance and said, "Look at that bearded spirit over there, ah, isn't it...... I mean, that uncle over there with a lot of beard, guess how old he is?"
The round-faced girl hesitated for a moment, tried to open her eyes to look at Hans's very anxious face, bit her pink lip and said carefully: "Three...... Forty...... One...... Three...... Five?"
After catching William's affirmative gaze, the short-haired girl proudly straightened her small chest and confidently gave an answer that would make her bearded cousin cry.
"Forty-five! He's forty-five, right?"
"Clever!"
William complimented her conscience, and reached out to rub her unkempt little head.
No wonder it's called fluffy, this fluffy and warm head feels really good.
The round-faced girl who was praised smiled shyly, happily put away the two short swords, and then shyly twisted the corners of her clothes, and said a little embarrassed:
"Hey, hey, it's not actually a guess, that bearded uncle's beard is about the same length as the forty-something uncle in the church, I just guessed it by just saying a few and guessing. ”
William's face was paralyzed, and a kind look barely appeared on his face. "Yes, yes, then think about it, that forty-five-year-old uncle is my cousin, so what should you call me?"
"What should it be called?" the round-faced girl scratched her head and cast a confused look.
William said step by step: "My generation is about the same as your Uncle Berry, you think about it, usually you call your Uncle Berry's brother, then you call me anything." ”
"Uncle Berry's brother......" The round-faced girl tilted her head in contemplation, her big eyes full of confusion.
"Dad...... Daddy?"
The expression on William's face froze instantly, and his cheeks twitched invisibly.
"Uncle, it's uncle! That forty-five-year-old bearded man should be called uncle, then he will call me cousin, so you can call me uncle as well......"
He secretly took a breath, be stupid, be stupid, anyway, just to ask for some information, stupid is good to talk. William struggled to break through some of the limitations of his paralyzed face and squeezed out a gentle smile.
"You see, you call me uncle, then we are acquaintances, so can you tell me about the saints?"
[The Assassin's Appearance] once again showed a terrifying affinity, and a sudden sense of intimacy surged over the round-faced girl's heart, washing away the last vestiges of vigilance left in her heart.
She hesitated to gnaw on the nail of her thumb.
This good-looking uncle looks so kind, he shouldn't be a bad person, although Uncle Berry said that no one can say anything about the saints, but Uncle Berry is an uncle, and this uncle is also an uncle, and it should be ...... Nothing is wrong, right?
The round-faced girl's body shook, and the more she looked at William's face, the more intimate she felt, and even her face gradually blurred, becoming one with an unusually familiar face in her memory, like Daddy, like Uncle Berry, and like Uncle Duke......
"Her Majesty the Queen is a saint, and the book says that she is the lamp given to the world by the crown of the god of love, and only she can resist the ...... of death."
Just as she was about to reveal the mystery of the saints to William and Pang, Uncle Berry's face suddenly flashed.
"Although Fran is a small place, this land is the barrier between the entire Alpha Continent and the Nation of the Undead, and the True Gods can no longer descend to the world, if something goes wrong with the Gate of the Dead Continent, then half of the Continent of Alpha will be in turmoil......
Furry, you must remember to try to tell anyone about the affairs of the saints, as for the agreement that the seven principalities of France are all demonic blood, and the door of the dead country is opened once every five hundred years, these things must not be revealed. ”
The girl's eyes were clear.
She reached out and rubbed her round face, took a step back vigilantly, shook the two short swords out of her sleeve again, and pointed at William in her hand from afar.
"It's ...... What the hell are you?"
