Chapter 63: Temptation
After blowing several bottles of wine with Hood, Aske left the tavern drunk and walked back slowly.
Esports players shouldn't drink, but there is no esports in this world anymore, so it doesn't matter if you drink a little.
He walked down the street, blown by the cold wind of the evening, and his head was slightly clearer.
By the way, Hood's kid has been here for less than a month, right?
Unexpectedly, the seed was successfully sown and the flash marriage?
Tut-tut, I can't tell that it's still a sturdy little stallion.
Asker thought to himself as some kind of intuition of danger crossed his mind, and he tilted his head with lightning speed, avoiding the bullet that was fired at his temple.
In the alley on the left, a man was looking at him in disbelief, his pistol still smoking.
"What are you doing?" Asker asked, tilting his head.
"I ...... I ......" the man snorted, and suddenly screamed and pulled the trigger, "Long live Bohemian independence!" â
Before he could finish speaking, a throwing knife had already plunged into his throat, and the muzzle of the fire-breathing gun shot into the sky as he fell to the ground.
"Neuropathy." Asker shook his head and continued towards Weissbach Palace.
On the roof in the distance, Heinrich and Meyer were looking at his back.
"Do you see clearly?" Heinrich asked.
"The 'intuition' sequence or 'conspiracy' sequence can perceive the danger or malice of the outside world in advance." Meyer frowned and said, "The throwing knife is very accurate, the reaction is quite fast, and it may also have a 'grazing' or 'agile' sequence. It's a pity that he couldn't force him to use swordsmanship. â
"Are you sure?" Heinrich asked.
"He must be a transcendent being, Your Excellency." Meyer bowed slightly and said, "Unless the level gap is above 10, no transcendent dares to say that he is sure to defeat another transcendent, especially when the other party's sequence is completely unknown. â
"Hmm." Heinrich nodded, his expression grim.
Asker, who didn't know at all, or didn't care if he knew, walked slowly into the Weissbach Palace.
"You've been drinking?" A crimson figure stood in the hallway, and Medea squinted at him.
"Drank a little." Aske said frankly.
"The things have been taken care of, and they will be handed over to Mi'er." Medea was expressionless.
The so-called thing is naturally the high-level "luck" transcendent trait, which is dissolved and chromatography by the spiritual liquid, separating the four transcendent traits from "luck I" to "luck IV".
With the transcendent trait "Luck I" as the main material, and the rest of the auxiliary materials are low-level spiritual materials or industrial products, Medea soon prepared a bottle of "Luck I" potion and gave it to Mi'er to take.
"It's fine." Asker nodded slightly, burping.
"How many dishes, drink like this?" Medea took him by the arm and helped him forward.
"You know what?" Asker pulled the invitation from his bosom, "Hood's kid is married. â
"Oh." Medea took the invitation and frowned, "How old is that kid, get married?" â
"It's marriageable age." Asker shook his head, a little sleepy.
"He? Marriageable age? Medea scoffed, "Then I'm still an older unmarried young woman!" I haven't seen a heartless head come to me and propose to me. â
"I'm a little thirsty." Asker cupped his forehead, "Is there any water?" â
"Is saliva okay?" Medea licked the corners of her lips.
"Don't." Aske said, "Be reserved, reserved, understand?" â
The head of the regiment seemed to be really drunk, and he spoke incoherently.
"You're tempted again." Medusa said in her heart.
"Indeed." Medea pondered, "Do you think I can send him back to his bedroom and fix the Dharma on the spot?" â
"I hate pleasure." Medusa said, "I'm going back to sleep." â
"Then let's go back to the bedroom~" Medea said with a smile on Asker's arm.
"Nope." Asker said sleepily, "I know what you're thinking. â
He broke free from Medea's embrace and sat down on a bench beside him, leaning his head back against the pillar as if he were asleep.
"What was I thinking?" Medea was not angry either, she just sat across from him.
"You know our team's Koyanagi." Asker closed his eyes and said, "One night, she deliberately stayed until the end of the day and talked to me about something. â
The next day, she quit her job and went back to Dì Dū.
"So, she stayed here to confess to you." Medea automatically interpreted his words, "And you rejected her, so she resigned." â
"Not exactly." "She didn't want to go back to the north, but ...... After all, her parents were there, and they were old, and there was no one to take care of them. â
"But if you say yes, she probably won't go back." Medea said, "Once she gets married and starts a family on your side, or even if she only has the name of love, she has a reason to stay here." â
"So you drove her away." She seemed to be summing up, and as if she was stating Asker's mental activity.
"That's right, I drove her away." Asker's eyes were still closed.
"Why refuse?" Medea asked.
"I'm afraid of delaying people." Asker said.
"You're having low self-esteem." Medea said unceremoniously.
"Sort of." Asker opened his eyes and said a little tiredly, "I'm afraid of delaying you, too." â
In an instant, Medea's heart seemed to stop, but she quickly forcibly stabilized her mind and said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid." â
"But I'm afraid." Aske smiled slightly, "Maybe you're right, I'm just inferior." â
Medea stared at him and smiled, and suddenly a wave of anger swelled up, and she grabbed him by the collar and roared:
"Asker! Listen to the old lady! â
"I don't care if you have a lack of love in childhood or a cold adult, and I don't care where you came from and where you want to go back! I like you for my own business, don't think about talking to me in a few words! If you put on this disgusting face that sees through the world again, and coax me like a fool, sooner or later the old lady will strengthen your body! â
She fled furiously, Aske leaning sleepily against the pillar, looking at her long, fiery red hair and back.
After a while, he smiled bitterly inexplicably.
"Asker?" Mi'er's voice rang out from the other side.
How did you go and come again? Aske turned his head and looked at Mi'er, who poked her little head out of the door, and said in surprise:
"You haven't slept yet?"
"I didn't fall asleep in bed." Mi'er pointed to her pointed ears, "I'm more sensitive to hearing. â
"It's just a personal matter, don't talk about it." Asker waved his hand and staggered to his feet.
"Are you drunk?" Mi'er trotted over, "I'll help you back to your room." â
"No, I can go on my own." Asker leaned against the wall and walked back slowly.
