Chapter 136: Trapped by Love
Austin looked very calm and wiped the wine off his face, then calmly took out the hand towel and slowly wiped it clean, and then calmly looked at the stunned Tang Dou: "Don Quixote, I feel your shock from your sip of wine!" ”
Tang Dou wiped his mouth: "Austin, I feel from your calm performance that you have broken the jar!" ”
Austin smiled sadly: "Haha, I'm Austin Sapo." The Sapo family is the second son, and although I never thought of robbing my eldest brother of the inheritance, even so, I am a steady earl. I'm twenty-five years old, and I'm not very talented, but I'm sure that before I'm forty years old, I'll definitely reach the ninth level of gold. At the age of fifty, it is not necessarily impossible to break through the platinum level. I created my own moonlight sword technique, and there are few opponents of the same level in Illano City. I have been trained by the Grand Master Gandalf since I was a child, and I act from the heart and with courtesy. When I first met Rachel when I was thirteen, I was already deeply in love with her. For twelve years, the whole city knew what I had done to her. But ......"
Austin poured a glass of wine and said sadly: "However, she actually believes a stranger she has never met, but she doesn't believe me either." I decided that I had insulted the elf girl, I couldn't argue, and now I want to pursue her, where do I still have face? To tell you the truth, Don Quixote, when I heard your story three days ago, I felt that you, like me, faced your beloved, but there was a barrier that you could never leap over. Do you know? I had never said anything to Rachel in front of outsiders, but I stopped her that day. Actually, I just wanted her to talk to me. Alas! ”
A long sigh, infinite infatuation, infinite sadness.
Tang Dou smacked his mouth, his eyes rolled slightly, and then a smile rippled at the corner of his mouth: "What does this story have to do with this jade pendant?" ”
"This jade pendant was dropped by the elf girl. After she insisted that I had insulted her, Rachel and I had an argument for the first time in our lives, and by the time we had argued, she had already run away when I went to see the elven girl again. But this jade pendant is estimated to have fallen by her accidentally. The reason why I wore it on my body was to lure her to appear again, and then clear my name! "Speaking of which, Austin is already gnashing his teeth.
"Hahaha!" Tang Dou suddenly slapped the table and laughed.
Austin frowned dissatisfiedly: "Don Quixote, I see that I fell in love with you and told you about myself." I didn't expect it to be ridiculed by you. Hum! In this case, we are different and do not conspire with each other! As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave.
But Tang Dou pulled him down and climbed over his shoulder: "Austin, you are really smart, you are confused for a while, don't you understand?" You've been tricked! ”
"Medium?" Austin looked dazed.
"You don't want to think about it. There are only three situations in which scammers deceive in this world. One is to have enmity, the second is for profit, and the third is for planning. Do you have an enemy of the elves? Tang Dou said with a smile, seeing Austin shaking his head in denial, he continued: "Then let's talk about profit, and profit can be divided into two kinds, one is money and the other is color." So you have been cheated out of your money? Or have you been deceived? ”
Austin blushed and shook his head: "No! ”
"Then there is only the third one, for the sake of calculation. The reason why I take it out separately is because sometimes, this third type is not an obvious desire for revenge, or a desire for profit, but to achieve some special purpose. Tang Dou looked at Austin and smiled slightly: "Do you understand now?" ”
Austin still didn't understand and shook his head stupidly.
Tang Dou rolled his eyes: "You won't push it forward, so push it the other way around." What did you lose after you were deceived by the elf girl? ”
Austin was stunned for a while, and then suddenly understood something, and his face changed suddenly: "You mean, that elf girl is ......"
"Shhhh Don't say it, don't say it! Even if you ask the lord now, you won't get any answers. In fact, it's just an excuse, I don't care if you are fooled or not, as long as there is enough excuse on the surface! Tang Dou saw that Austin understood, and explained with a smile: "So no matter how long your jade pendant hangs, it won't attract that elf girl!" ”
"I see, I see!" Austin's face was flushed with anger, and his eyes flickered for a while, but finally turned into deep helplessness, and he smiled bitterly: "Do I have to annoy her like this?" ”
"What? Aren't you angry anymore? Tang Dou said playfully.
Austin glanced at Tang Dou: "Will you be angry with the woman you love deeply?" ”
"Of course not!" Tang Dou said.
"So I won't either! Is it true that Rachel and I are not fated? Austin frustrated took off the jade pendant and pushed it in front of Tang Dou: "If you want to meet Rachel today, help me give this thing to her." By the way, help me tell her that Austin won't pester her anymore and let her not have to be like this again. This jade pendant carved with the elven goddess has a special meaning, and if it is known by the elves, it will cause a lot of trouble! ”
At this time, Austin was still thinking about the city lord, but he really loved him deeply.
Tang Dou looked at the jade pendant on the table and understood that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the task would be completed. And this matter has nothing to do with him. At that time, he honestly waited for the little Lori and the soft girl to recover, and then he could continue to set off to find the wishing bead. As for Sha Yunyue, an elven beauty, although she was one of the sons of prophecy, Tang Dou did not think of forcing the other party to act with him. After all, he still has deep concerns and doubts about the words of the old god. It is not his style to act completely on the instructions of others.
But looking at Austin with a sad face, Tang Dou felt a strange emotion in his heart.
Austin is a representative of the rich and handsome in every way. He has a good background, is rich, handsome, and has a high military value, such a person, as long as he hooks his hands, the girl who is willing to be slept with him can go around the wall of Illano. But this guy chose the most difficult city lord.
Let's not talk about the grievances between the city lord's family and the Sapo family over the years, just talk about the city lord's lace character, this road is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Can you help him or not?
Several thoughts flashed in Tang Dou's heart.
Eventually, he smiled rather eeriely, and it felt like a weasel sneaking into a hen's nest and just in time to see a litter of newborn chicks.
"Don Quixote, what's wrong with you?" Austin was frightened by Tang Dou's evil smile.
"Austin, let me ask you three questions!" Tang Dou put away his smile and said with a straight face.
"Okay, you ask!" Seeing that Tang Dou was so serious, Austin also became serious.
"You have to think about these three questions before answering, and you can't be impulsive. Think about it! Tang Dou told him again, and when he saw Austin nodding, he said, "First: Do you really love the city lord?" Second: Are you willing to overcome all the difficulties in the world for her? Third: Are you willing to give everything you have for her? Don't rush to answer, think about it. You're so smart, you should understand, what I'm really asking. Everyone is an adult, don't shout empty slogans! ”
Austin didn't answer immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought, Tang Dou was not in a hurry, just waited slowly on the side.
This thought was a full hour, and it was already evening, and Austin finally stretched his brows: "Don Quixote, I can answer you very seriously." First: I really love Rachel, and in this life, I will only love her alone, even if she doesn't accept me, I will never love anyone else in this life. Second: I am willing to overcome all the difficulties in the world for her, no matter what they are. Third: I am willing to give everything I have for her, including my title, my honor, my life! ”
Tang Dou grinned: "Then you listen to me, I'll help you!" ”
"Help me?" Austin looked at Tang Dou puzzled.
"You made three mistakes!" Tang Dou stretched out three fingers and shook them: "First, you don't understand that pursuing a woman, especially a woman like the City Lord, what you need is not obedience. Second, you don't understand the lord of the castle. Why doesn't he accept you? Is it just because you're you, or is it because you're a man? Third, your identity itself is a huge obstacle! ”
Austin frowned again: "I already understand the first point you said. Rachel is a strong person, and what she needs should be a stronger arm, not a submissive subordinate. But in terms of talent, I'm really no match for her. No matter how hard I cultivate, I can't surpass her. Do you know? She was a year younger than me, and at thirteen, I was in her class. But since the age of fifteen, she has surpassed me, and she is getting farther and farther away! This is only the first point you said, and I don't understand the last two points. ”
Tang Dou shook his head: "You, I didn't think of three points. First, while force is one part, it is not the whole story. Strong and powerful, it's not all force, there's something else, this one is very deep, we'll talk about it later. Let's start with the last two points. Let's turn it around and say, the third point, you don't know why your Sapo family moved to Illano City back then, right? ”
Austin isn't really stupid, he's just a fan of the authorities: "You mean the empire ......"
"Yes, I heard that your Sapo family was not in Illano before, and Illano was only a small city in the past, a pure daughter city, but later due to economic development, Illano gradually became an important city in the southwest of the Purple Gold Country, and followed Illano to expand and become a twin city. Your Sapo family then moved to Easttown. Speaking of which, you are the nobles in the city, but you are actually the invisible city lord of the East City! I'm right! ”
Austin had completely understood what Tang Dou meant, and there was a look of shock in his eyes. He finally understood the meaning of the last of the three questions Tang Dou had just asked him. (To be continued.) )
