My family's Xiao Ao is not a particularly simple or kind child - what can a person who has been raised by V to enter the snake courtyard and still retain the memories of the past and even accept the natural inheritance?

Or to put it another way, Opal's innocence is only aimed at "Riddle", because she knows that only this kind of unreserved trust and dependence can really get close to Riddle - so she twists her personality into this. As for other people's "natural stay" performance, it is more because she is too lazy to think about it.

Speaking of which, this is simply because of the obsession of "Situ Lingran", so it is distorted to be simple. However, because Opal is not resistant to this, the current situation is not bad, otherwise this article is estimated to start to develop in the dark direction OTZ

=========================================

Wand 2 (Upright): Reach goals and needs.

Forbidden Forest: Centaur Station

、

Just as Opal was in a trance, the man put her back on the ground, then leaned down and shoved a long whip-like thing into her hand.

Subconsciously held it, and then waved it, a faint silver light flashed, and a warm wind blew along with the sound of Qingyue, ruffling the black jade-like hair on the man's forehead, and the blue eyes seemed to widen slightly because of astonishment, and he was stunned.

But it seemed that the daze was only for a moment, and the man took back the whip-like thing and picked her up again—much more skillfully in both posture and movement.

His arms weren't warm, but he lay there quietly, listening to his steady heartbeat, smelling the faint smell of the forest and the lake on his body, and there was always a familiar and safe feeling.

So, it doesn't matter.

Even when he was picked up, it didn't matter if he saw the dark red glow that flashed through those blue eyes, with a sense of ominousness.

She liked the person in front of her who gave her the feeling she wanted, so it didn't matter.

Even if she was used, she didn't want to leave this person's side.

For the feeling she cherished.

- Hypocritical rhetoric, even if you say so, can you still say that when this person really uses you to achieve his goals and discards you?

There can't be an answer to this question, right?

――Then you said that even if you were used, you could do it.

Since I haven't encountered anything like this yet, I don't know what kind of answer I will have. But for now, he hasn't done so, has he?

- You've already seen the omen, haven't you?

You once said that people are a selfish race, didn't you?

――……

So, it doesn't matter. He wants to use me, why am I not using him?

The feeling of "home" that no other creature could bring to her was just trying to grasp it.

So...... In other words, if you don't feel like that, why are you obsessed with it?

-- What is the so-called "selfish human nature"?

Yes...... Probably. So, it's normal for me to do this, isn't it?

Because I once had and lost, when I get it again, I will cherish it extraordinarily.

Even if you need to distort your thoughts and thinking in order to keep what you are pursuing, you will not hesitate in the slightest.

This is the obsession that when she inherited the memory of the girl who was "Situ Lingran", she was deeply imprinted in her soul at the same time, and she would give everything for it......

- I hope you don't regret it.

The voice in the depths of the heart returned to silence with a sigh.

Do you regret it?

Closing her eyes, following the strength of the man who embraced her, she obediently lay in his arms, and Opal sneered in his heart noncommittally.

It's better than not trying to do anything, doing nothing, and then sighing and melancholy in the future because you are afraid of regret, right?

"Mr. Riddle. Because something happened in the clan, I ......"

At this time, the voice of Fei Leng Cui, which was very familiar to Opal, came, and Opal shrank into that person's arms with a weak heart, "I'm sorry to let you ...... for a long time His Highness Opal! So you're here?! ”

The original apology turned to a sense of relief as soon as Riddle turned to face him.

Worst...... I'm sure I'm going to be disciplined again......

Opening his eyes, glancing at her visibly relieved to find her, he furrowed his brow again, ready to walk up and pick up her Emerald, Opal almost subconsciously grabbed Riddle's cloak and refused to let go.

“……”X2

Looking at the cloak that was only grasped by the baby, both Riddle and Emerald were silent for a moment.

"His Highness Opal ......"

I have never seen this baby who can't make a sound, but has been acting very well-behaved since he woke up, the first time he is so obsessed with something, Fei Lengcui's brows are almost locked, and after a while, he finally senses the nervous and uneasy magic fluctuations that diffuse around the baby, he sighed in compromise, and then looked up at Riddle, "I'm sorry, it seems that His Highness Opal likes you very much." Could you please take her with me to the Venerable Charon? ”

"Ah, if you don't mind."

It's not clear why the newborn baby clings to him so much, but it's a good thing for him.

So Riddle just held the baby steadily, and nodded his head with a complacent.

"This is a sign that you can enter the station, so please remember to wear it with you so that you don't lose it. However, the scope of the activity is limited to the periphery of the station to the central region. ”

Handing the quaint sign to Riddle, Fei Lengcui's slightly worried eyes, after seeing that Opal lying in his arms had closed his eyes and looked sleepy, finally turned to his usual business, "The altar, divination area, and foal activity area inside the station are forbidden places, please don't approach them at will." Otherwise, we'll attack you as an enemy. ”

Since His Highness Opal trusts this half-blood Qi clan so much, and His Excellency Vivien himself is also a representative of the non-human biological forces, it should not harm His Highness Opal.

Therefore, until the Patriarch of Caron and His Highness Opal give corresponding instructions, it would be better for him not to interfere too much.

"That's Vivien...... Miss once mentioned it to me, and I'll pay attention. ”

Finally swallowed the title of "witch" that was about to blurt out, and Riddle, who took the sign, looked at the baby who seemed to be asleep while clutching his cloak at the moment, and frowned slightly.

He never thought he was a good person, and he didn't think he was kind to the baby, but why...... This baby will behave so ...... to him Trust or dependence?

Doesn't it mean that babies have sensitive senses and can intuitively distinguish between good and bad intentions?

Riddle believed that even if he was only a human baby, the inheritance of the Son of Gaia was no joke, and in fact he was prepared to be rejected by the so-called "Son of Gaia".

Or is it ......

Moving forward by Fei Leng Emerald's side, Riddle's blue eyes swept the forehead of the baby sleeping in his arms, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Because of the relationship of magic resonance, why this baby is so close to him? (Tianyin: V Danai is the truth.) ）

The centaur station is not large, but it is definitely not small.

After walking through the barrier for about ten minutes, Riddle saw the Caron waiting for him in the central plaza of the station.

"It seems that His Highness Opal trusts you very much."

His eyes swept over Opal, who was sleeping peacefully in Riddle's arms, and Charon's brows furrowed slightly before he let go, "It's worthy of being a race favored by Gaia." Your Highness Opal will leave it to you next. ”

Although Vivian claims to be a half-blood, the Ghost Qi bloodline on his body who doesn't know how thin it is has not awakened at all!

What is it about this inexplicable trust?

Although the look on his appearance was still reserved and polite at the moment, Riddle's heart was still twisted at the moment.

Because he claimed to be a half-breed Qi clan with Vivien's mark, he didn't even have the most basic interrogation, so he generously entrusted him with the care of the "Son of Gaia", which is extremely important to the magical biological world?!

Although as early as the time of the secret realm of the lake, I knew that these non-human races were different from normal humans and wizards in terms of values and worldview, but the current situation is ...... Should he say these creatures are stupid or what?!

For people who meet for the first time and don't fully understand it, they deliver such trust......

The blue eyes darkened slightly.

Because he recalled that when he was eleven years old, the old immortal attitude that led him to the so-called "wizarding world" for the first time.

"I don't know what you've thought of, but since you've been chosen by our Highness Opal, there's nothing wrong with that."

As if noticing the change in Riddle's expression, Charon just nodded, and then beckoned into the distance, "The nature of the Qi tribe is quiet, so your residence here has been prepared, but it is not a treehouse where the Qi tribe usually lives, I hope you will forgive me if you are not careful." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Quickly pulling his mind out of his memories to adjust his emotions, Riddle smiled back politely, "Although I am a half-blood, I haven't lived in the secret realm of the lake for a long time, and my habits are more human. ”

"It would be nice if that were the case. Ronan, take Mr. Riddle to his abode. ”

Not hiding the annoyance of "humans" between his eyebrows, Charon waited until Ronan arrived and nodded to Riddle again, "If you need anything, you can tell Ronan and Fei Leng Cui that they are the squires of our clan who are responsible for protecting His Highness Opal." ”

"If necessary, I will not be polite."

Knowing that there was no need to go around in circles with centaurs like he did with nobles, Riddle didn't make much excuses.

"Then I won't disturb you and His Highness Opal to rest."

Charon nodded, then turned to leave.

Ronan, who had already walked over, glanced at Opal, who was sleeping in Riddle's arms, and after confirming that she didn't need to cover something, nodded at Riddle and motioned for him to follow him.

It is undeniable that this straightforward and simple life has indeed touched him.

Looking down at the baby who was clutching his cloak and sleeping peacefully in his arms, the light in his blue eyes softened slightly, and then returned to the unpleasant silence.

will trust him so much because of the "Vivien" behind him.

If he knew his true identity, he didn't believe that the centaurs could treat him so kindly.

And this baby ......

If she knew that his purpose was just the same magic power in her body, I believe she wouldn't be close to him again, right?

The so-called "trust" is actually this kind of fragile thing built on the basis of "illusion".

The kind of boring stuff that makes people weak, he doesn't need it.

So, it's better to ...... it as soon as possible

The hand held under the baby tightened slightly, and the soft and warm touch made Riddle feel as if something was brushing through his heart, as soft as a feather.

Bowing his head, the direct, action-oriented dependence and trust of the baby in his arms was something he had never been exposed to.

The nobles feared him, honored him, used him, revered him, worshipped him, mythologized him, and the enemies hated him, hated him, and cursed him.

It wasn't that he hadn't touched the fragile baby, but perhaps because of the darkness and gore that oozed from his bone marrow, there was no one who didn't cry and wanted to get away from him.

No one has ever been so simple......

This is...... What does it feel like?

Riddle frowned uncomfortably at an incomprehensible strangeness, and then tried to sweep the feeling out of his mind.

There's no need to bother with such boring things.

It's better to hurry up and find a way to extract the magic power of the same origin from this simple "Son of Gaia", recover his strength as soon as possible, and then lead his servants to return to the wizarding world.

Exorcise and destroy those inferior wizards, restore the glory that belongs to pure-blood wizards, and let the entire wizarding world come out of the shrinking territory and stand in front of those despicable Muggles and reign over the world.

This is what he, as the Duke of Darkness, needs and must do.

Everything else will shake the feelings or things that come to this.

Don't worry.
