Chapter 773: Promise

"The police are always the last to come out."

When he saw the legend dressed gorgeously and elegantly, Lin Anxin unexpectedly remembered a joke from that world.

Then she restrained her wandering thoughts, because while she was looking in the direction of the corner cabinet, Andre and Salin also noticed this uninvited guest and made vigilant movements.

A black long sword cut through the air without hesitation and stabbed at the comer, but at a distance of a foot, it suddenly froze without warning, and the long sword could no longer advance an inch.

"Titi!"

Lin An let out a low snort, but his black eyes looked at Remus.

The latter chuckled, and Titi felt as if the air had suddenly turned into a thick, almost immobile confinement that disappeared from him, and he immediately returned to Lin An, looking at the uninvited guest in silence, and reining in all the hostility on his body.

Recognizing Remus, who had a relationship with the strings of the gods, although the siblings Saleen and Andre did not know that a legendary realm had enveloped them, they could keenly perceive something from their companions' reactions, and did not intervene in the conversation between Lin An and the coming world.

"You're late, dear Remus." Unsure if Remus would be willing to reveal his identity in front of others, Lin An changed his name slightly.

"Believe me, I'm more sorry than you are for this result," Remus muttered as he changed his name knowingly, "if I had known it was these winged guys." ”

His gaze drifted to the white-clothed Son who was thrown into the corner and subjected to all kinds of imprisonment.

"This is my trophy." Lin An moved slightly, blocking Remus's line of sight, "Given that my companion still needs medical treatment, can you move with me?" ”

Remus withdrew his gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands in disobedience.

Lin An motioned to Andre and the others with his eyes to rest assured, and asked them to solve Sidney's injuries first.

Opening the next room, both of them were stunned for a moment.

The eye is drawn to the wedding room, which occupies most of the space in the middle by a large four-poster double bed, full of fuchsia roses and fluttering tulle, and two or three fragrant candles on the windowsills, cabinet corners, and small round tables, and the fragrance of herbs that promote lust fills the room.

Lin An was embarrassed, when they were looking for a place to stay, they didn't notice that this was a wedding hotel, but they just chose it nearby.

Just as he was about to open the door and change rooms, Remus chuckled, "Here it is." ”

As he spoke, hexagonal snowflakes quickly condensed in the air, and formed icicles at a speed visible to the naked eye, a thick layer of translucent ice covering the outside of the room's original furnishings.

The ambiguous atmosphere deliberately created by the wedding room was swept away, and what was even more amazing was that the ice did not emit cold, but room temperature or even slightly hot.

By the window, the water vapor condensed into two high-backed ice chairs, and the two sat down opposite each other.

"You've been around?" Lin An asked first.

"It doesn't make much sense," Remus asked with a smile, "if I say it's a coincidence, would you believe it?" ”

Of course - no.

But why he happened to be nearby, but it makes sense.

However, judging from Remus's attitude, he obviously does not intend to give a clear statement:

If he came for other reasons, then there was no need to explain it to Lin An; If it is coming after them, it is even less likely to explain it to them.

So Lin An found out that he really asked a stupid question.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the direction of the window they were in was facing the east gate, and the night wind sent a noisy sound in that direction, and the night became even darker after the white flames burned out.

"That bird just now, was it released by your little friend?" Remus asked. Lin An guessed that he might have gone outside the city to see the situation there, so he was late.

As for distinguishing Sidney's identity at a glance, it was completely expected by Lin An.

"I think you should see that it can't be tamed by anyone." Lin An blinked, and also gave a noncommittal response.

In fact, she didn't really care about the previous confrontation, but if this kind of expression could make Remus think that she was a little presumptuous in relying on his connivance, and inadvertently exposed her little temper, then why not.

Remus chuckled.

It is this seemingly gentle but indistinguishable attitude that makes Lin An feel confused, inseparable from friend and foe, and thus feels pressured - because the same mask often appears in Lin An herself, and she is used to using this method, which makes it unpredictable and impossible to guess her true purpose or weakness.

"This city is famous for tourism, but after this time, it will probably be depressed for a while."

"I deeply regret this, but as you know, the beginning and end of the battle are not up to me." Lin An was telling the truth—although I had an element of seduction, she added in her heart.

Remus chuckled, his emerald green eyes like ripples in the lake, swaying layers of laughter, as if he could hear Lin Anxin's words.

Lin An looked back at him calmly.

Some things are tacitly understood, at least nominally and within the rules of the game, Lin An has no obligation to explain to Remus - this is not the Pere Empire.

Although, in substance, Fito is no different from a subject of Perre.

"I thought that with what you did on Paradise Island, the compensation for this time should be heavier."

The collapse of Paradise Island and the people facing the catastrophe as a result, from the causal calculation, Lin An needs to bear little responsibility, but Lin An is still willing to owe Remus a favor and ask him to rescue those people, and then he did not announce his rescue to profit from it.

At least with his experience, in the face of more than 100 human lives, it is at least enough to verify that the hearts of those young children who have not lived more than 100 years old are not cold enough for the time being, unless Lin An deliberately did it in order to leave a good impression in his heart.

But it's a slim possibility, and Remus doesn't think he's looking at the wrong person.

However, Lin An's actions in Gypsys City this time made him a little confused.

"It's different from the time on Paradise Island, that time can be reversed, this time it has happened, and there is nothing to change, because this is my plan," Lin An was slightly surprised, and said calmly, "I will never regret my decision, this has nothing to do with feelings such as pity and love, sympathy for the weak, etc., only related to my wishes - I only obey my heart." ”

When I have mercy, I can love the world; When I am cold, my heart can be as hard as a stone.

The smile on the face of the man who was as elegant as an aristocrat faded a little.

He looked directly at the pair of black pupils, and there was not a trace of ripple in them, as if the calm and cold declaration just now did not come from her mouth.

"You already have the heart of a strong man." The young-looking legendary powerhouse gently stroked his palm, as if appreciative.

Lin An tilted her head, she intuitively felt that there was a lot of meaning in this sentence, but she couldn't seem to find a reason.

Before she could figure it out, Remus spoke again.

"I would like to take the liberty of proposing an exchange to you."

"For that 'energy can'? It seems that his value is beyond my expectations. Lin An smiled.

The two have been rambling back and forth, implying confrontation, but neither of them has forgotten this situation and each other's purpose.

The gap between the two sides is huge, in fact, it is not difficult for Remus to achieve his goal, even if he presses it, according to the default unspoken rules in the mage circle, it is not impossible - of course, unless the negotiation completely collapses and there is no way to turn around, this is unlikely.

Unless, Remus wants to provoke a strong man who is evenly matched with him behind Lin An at one time, and in the foreseeable future, there is another enemy who can cause him a lot of trouble.

But a gap is a gap, and it doesn't disappear because of the size of the backend.

Lin An, who was faced with a choice, was also under a lot of pressure, and every word he said had to be carefully considered, at least three times in his heart.

"Can you let me know why you're so desperate for him?"

Since Remus personally said the meaning of the transaction, it is impossible to change the result, Lin An thought about it seriously, the nature of the mage must be compared, and he felt that he still couldn't suffer too much.

"Is this the price of exchange?" Remus asked.

"Of course not!" Lin An glared at him with an angry look.

Messages can of course be used as exchange chips, but they are obviously not equal in value compared to the trading target.

"Hehe," Remus chuckled, "if it's just to satisfy your curiosity, then let's do it on another condition," he said lightly, "I need him mainly for personal reasons." ”

Private reasons?

Lin Anxin jumped.

Maybe I know what it is, she thought.

She remained silent, "So, what do I get?" She spread her hands in a helpless expression.

"Greedy little girl—but a qualified mage." Remus smiled, leaning back in his chair to look at her.

"You can get a promise from me."

He said.

……

After Remus left, Lin An returned to the next room alone.

The brothers and sisters Salin and Andre turned their heads, they had just seen Titi carrying the white-clothed saint out and coming back empty-handed, and they were not surprised that Lin An returned to the room later.

["Master, has the priest left? Athena's voice resounded in her spirit.

"Well, he's gone. ”】

The shadows in the corner squirmed, Athena and William walked out, and little Lori patted her chest again and again, "It's really scared to death!" ”

She didn't know about Remus's last visit, but she was glad that this god-level powerhouse had no interest in her as a special being, and didn't look at her much from beginning to end—she didn't doubt that Remus would be so careless that he didn't notice her existence.

"Sidney's backlash is a bit harsh." Andre came to Lin An and did not ask about Remus's identity.

The same goes for Saleen and Shellyl, as if Remus is coming and going like the wind is completely normal.

Although Lin An did not tell them the inside story of their salvation in the ending of Paradise Island, in connection with the two appearances of Remus and the strength revealed, the brothers and sisters of Saleen and Andre vaguely guessed the identity of Remus.

"It's okay, I have medicine here." A parting gift from Remus.

Lin An took out a bottle of black potion, and the trace of pure negative energy left the space with the medicine bottle, as if it were a substance.
