Looking at the silver flame markings underground, Hal knew that this street was now the famous Constantine Street, and the colorful lights here at night reflected the silver flame emblems on the flags on both sides of the street was a special sight.

Ha followed Constantine Avenue through Fervet Street until he reached a tavern at the end of the street. He looked around for a moment, pondering for a moment before pushing open the old wooden door.

Hal looked at the door sign on the top of the shop, which said Mondstadt Tavern, which wasn't the place he often spent with Hagen at night.

As soon as you enter the tavern, you will be greeted by the strong smell of wheat, and this tavern is famous for its dark beer and wheat, and many officers in the inner city will order beer here for their celebratory feasts.

The dim light contrasted strongly with the outside, and Hal felt unnatural all over his body when he entered. A few drunks were sleeping soundly on simple wooden chairs, apparently having a hangover from last night, with a disgusting smell of alcohol and a mixture of wine and saliva on the corners of their mouths.

Hagen nodded to the bartender who was wiping his glasses in front of the wine station, and then the bartender placed a golden coin beside him.

Hagen's robe-concealed hand swept across the table, leaving behind a shield coin and taking it away, before entering a small private room.

Hal wanted to follow him in, but found that he was blocked by a strange aura when he walked to the door, and could not take any further steps, so he had to stand in front of the door and listen to their discussion.

"You've decided?" An old female voice asked Hagen, and through the crack in the door, he saw that the man was covered by a white robe, and he couldn't see his face at all, but Hagen sat respectfully across from her.

"Well, tonight is the best chance, my move has been targeted from above, I'm afraid I'll have to leave here soon."

Hagen said calmly, stroking the faded ring in his hand. It was a gift from their mother when the two brothers were born, and Hal subconsciously touched his own.

"Are you worried about your brother?" Although the old man's voice is old, it exudes a kind atmosphere, which makes people feel very warm.

Hagen didn't answer, and the look on his face showed that the old man was right. Hal also knows that his brother's biggest worry in his life is himself, and he has hidden a lot of secrets in his heart for so many years, and he would rather bear it alone than let him worry.

"Since you have decided, I will not stop you, as for what will happen in the future, we will only know when it comes."

The old man said slowly, and then two bottles of potions of different colors appeared in his thin hands, and then explained their uses.

"You also know the purpose of the white bottle, and as for the red bottle, just sprinkle it on your body before you go in, so that the forbidden spell they set will not work."

Hagen looked at the two bottles of potion cautiously, then clenched them in his hands and nodded heavily to the old man.

"It's really bothering you, and you have to worry about us so much."

"This body has entered the countdown to life, although I have not found it yet, but in your eyes, I see his shadow." The old man also sighed, and the face covered by the robe showed her mouth slightly at this time, and she could be seen smiling.

At this moment, a drunken man happened to take a disordered step and bumped into Hal in the direction. The drunkard's blurred vision seemed to see a woman standing in front of him, and he shouted: "Beauty, uncle is here, don't run." ”

Luckily, Hal turned around and dodged the drunk. The drunk stumbled open the door and fell in front of the private room.

Hal was slightly startled, but soon realized that the picture in his memory would not appear of his own, so he turned his head to return his attention to the room, only to find that the white-robed old man had disappeared.

I heard Hagen holding the coin and saying with a firm expression: "I will definitely find out the truth." ”

The street lamps on the street have been lit up, the full moon in the middle of the quiet night sky, the tranquil silver light sprinkled on the earth, and the surrounding stars seem to echo, the whole picture is as enchanting as a dream.

Qi Xue had been waiting for her beloved to arrive at her residence for a long time, the light in front of the house illuminated the pale yellow dress on her body, her quiet face was so beautiful, and her big shining eyes were staring at the front motionlessly, for fear that she would not be able to see her beloved if she was distracted.

Finally, the long-awaited person in her eyes finally appeared in front of her eyes, Hagen walked with a spirited step, and when he saw Qi Xue, he also subconsciously quickened his pace. But Qi Xue trotted in front of Hagen and threw herself into Hagen's arms, Hagen's thick arms wrapped around Qi Xue, picked her up and spun around happily.

Qi Xue's eyes were full of tears, and she said coquettishly: "I thought you wouldn't come." ”

"Fool, there are a lot of things in the army, and this will come as soon as it is dealt with!"

The two of them pressed their foreheads against each other, Qi Xue's straight jade nose gently rubbed Hagen, the beautiful eyes stared at the man in front of him, and the body fragrance emitted made Hagen intoxicated for a while.

Qi Xue put a finger against Hagen's chest, clearly felt his rapid heartbeat, and said with a smile: "You are late, do you want a small punishment?" ”

"Punishment? Well, how do you want to punish it? Hagen asked playfully.

Qi Xue's face suddenly turned red, and she said embarrassedly, "You kiss ...... Me, okay? ”

Although the voice was small, it was enough to reach Hagen's ears, and Hagen didn't think much about it, so he overbearingly covered Qi Xue's lips, and then put the ring in his pocket in Qi Xue's hand.

Qi Xue enjoyed the domineering kiss, leaning on Hagen's body weakly, provocatively making her let out a tempting moan. After a burst of sweetness, the two finally let go of their intertwined tongues, and Qi Xue's face turned crimson, accompanied by a slightly rapid breathing, looking at Hagen's face.

"I hope I can wake up like this every day in the future." Qi Xue's delicate face was even more embarrassed at this time.

"Well, I promise you, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will not let go of your hand!" Hagen gently ruffled the hair from her forehead and replied in a very gentle tone.

Qi Xue realized that there was an extra ring in her hand, and her surprised gaze returned to Hagen's hand again. And Hagen also took her hand and clasped her fingers tightly.

"My eldest miss, are you satisfied?"

Qi Xue nodded heavily, feeling the temperature in her hand, and the joy that overflowed her heart was self-evident.

"Let's hurry up and get in, or everything will be cold."

Qi Xue took Hagen's hand and walked into the mansion behind the Copywriting Bureau, which was designed to be connected to the Copywriting Bureau and the mansion, only a walkway away.

Hagen asked tentatively, "There's no one at home, right?" ”

"Well, they won't be back tonight, otherwise how dare I let you come to my house." Qi Xue held Hagen's hand with a happy face, looking from behind, a real and happy little couple.

In the distance, Hal also hurried to follow, this is 897 Vovett Street, the address of the Royal Praetorian Guard's Copywriting Bureau, the administrator's residence is behind the bureau, which contains the archives of all personnel since the establishment of the Praetorian Guard. Without the consent of the Copywriting Bureau and the Commission, even the Senate and the King had no right to look through the materials contained therein.

Stepping into the lobby of the mansion, the beige marble walls are covered with photographs of past rulers, with the life and year of their reign written underneath. The red floor is elegant and plain, and there are twelve plaster statues next to it, representing the twelve main gods of the divine realm, placed in twelve directions. There is a staircase that leads to the second floor, and further inside is the living room.

"Wait a minute, I'll get down." Qi Xue asked Hagen to do it, and then walked into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Hagen immediately said, "Why don't you let the servants do it, it's so hard." ”

"No, it's my birthday, I just want to do it myself and have dinner with my loved ones." Although Qi Xue is the daughter of the Minister of Copywriting, she is quite hard-working, and she does not have the temper of the eldest lady at all, and she puts the dishes on the table in three or two clicks.

Looking at the dish in front of him, Hagen also nodded appreciatively. said: "I didn't expect that you, the daughter of the daughter, also have good cooking skills, and your temper is so good, who is really lucky to marry you." ”

This is Qi Xue looked at Hagen pitifully and asked, "Then you will marry me, unless you want to see me go with someone else." ”

"I don't want this yet, who will let you go into the kitchen and out of the hall!"

When Hagen said this, he felt very guilty, this lovely man in front of him took out his heart to trust himself with love that surpassed all else, and looked at his own behavior, but when he thought of his parents, all feelings were left behind by Hagen.

"Wait, try this first." Qi Xue opened the bottle in the middle of the table, and a strong fragrance immediately wafted out.

"What kind of scent is this?" It was also the first time that Hagen had smelled such a peculiar aroma.

"Hehe, I thought that our Major General Hagen was well-informed, why did you plant it this time? This wine was brought back by me in the land of elves by dragging others, and it is called spiritual water**. ”

Qi Xue slowly poured the wine into the wine glass, the golden liquid sparkled, and the fruity aroma burst out instantly, which made people feel refreshed.

Hagen sniffed the strong fruity aroma of the golden liquid and said, "Lingshui**, it doesn't seem easy to listen to the name." ”

"Of course, spiritual water is spiritual water as the name suggests, ** is the first dew in the morning, do you say it's precious?"

Qi Xue looked at Hagen's face meaningfully, and the aroma of the wine made a warm current in her body faintly begin to flow.

"Fountain of Life? Isn't it ......?" Hagen thought to himself, "I heard that those who drink the Fountain of Life can be healed instantly if they are injured, and those who are not injured can not only strengthen the spiritual breath in the body, but also increase their lifespan." ”

"That's right, this spiritual water** is made from the dew that rests on the leaves of the trees next to the tributary closest to the source of the Fountain of Life, where the water vapor evaporates at dawn." Qi Xue raised her wine glass in motion.

Hagen slightly touched the wine glass to Qi Xue's hand and said, "Happy birthday," after the crisp impact, the two drank the wine in the glass, and the fruity aroma filled the lips and teeth, which made people feel refreshed. The faintly beating warm air in the body turned even more obviously, as if it was nourishing every cell in the body.

"Good wine! Wine! Hagen snored, but when he saw Qi Xue on the other side cast that happy gaze, the guilt in his heart increased again.

The two of them immediately began to eat, and the topic was nothing more than the daily life of the family and some military affairs in Hagen. Qi Xue didn't know about Hagen's parents, but only heard his father talk sporadically about Hagen's parents, who used to be big names in the Praetorian Guard, but died unexpectedly during a mission, leaving only him and his young brother.

"I know you've always kept a lot of secrets in your heart, and every time I see your sad face, it really hurts my heart." Qi Xue walked behind Hagen's back and wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to her back.

Hagen patted the back of Qi Xue's hand and comforted, "I can hold it"

"In the future, we will face it together, when you are tired and tired outside, come back to me, this will always be your warmest harbor."

Hagen could only smile bitterly at this time, the people who hid everything in their hearts have long forgotten what warmth is, and even feel that the world is gray, there is no warmth at all, and people can only survive by wearing the mask of fraud. It is so cruel and ruthless, but it is the most real natural instinct.

Seeing that Hagen didn't answer, Qi Xue didn't force her, sorted out her mood a little, squeezed out a smile and said, "I know you like sweets, I just made one, you wait for me to take it out." Qi Xue smiled, and then retreated to the kitchen.

Watching Qi Xue enter, Hagen immediately picked up the bottle of milky white strong sleeping pills, quickly dropped two drops into Qi Xue's wine glass, and then sat back in his place as if nothing happened, still with that indifferent look on his face.

At this time, Hal noticed Qi Xue's movements, and slowly took out the prepared dessert from the oven, but opened the drawer and took out a white powder like frosting, and slowly sprinkled it on it.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either, but my father said that I must not let you know about the events of the year, so I will use my own strength to protect you and send you out of here, and then"

Qi Xue hid a long silver and sharp needle in her sleeve, did she want to send her brother out of here and kill herself?

"Here, my best caramel baked brid, with your favorite fruit in it, try it!" Qi Xue looked at Hagen expectantly, but her attention was focused on the sweets at the table, and she was struggling fiercely in her heart.

"What's wrong? Why don't you eat together, you are nervous. Hagen also noticed Qi Xue's expression, he was sure that the dessert in front of him might be a sweet trap, it seemed that Qi Xue also had something in mind.

"Come" Hagen raised his glass and handed another glass to Qi Xue. Qi Xue drank it without thinking, but in a few seconds, the strong effect of the medicine made her consciousness blur for a while, and she watched Hagen's figure gradually disappear in front of her.
