Chapter 197: Years of Secrets
It seems to be human nature to be attached to the strong.
Whether it is seeking refuge or something else, from the moment of attachment, everything for the weak no longer belongs to them. Demons want to eat people, and the Awakened also want to eat people, and instead of letting the ugly and brutal demons who can barely communicate with each other, it may be better to let the stronger Awakened enjoy them......
In a way, Conrad was fortunate that Octavia, Europa, and Klos were undoubtedly the Awoken, but perhaps because there were too few humans willing to pledge allegiance to the Awoke, they chose to leave Conrad's life to do things for them.
The man sitting across from Li Fang and Annabelle looked calm, the cup of hot tea coming out of his hand and disappearing from his beard near his chin.
Li Fang and Annabelle were silent, only listening to him.
"Under the patronage of Miss Octavia, I entered La Baule with a large sum of money and became the enviable new aristocracy, but in fact it was only to run the money so that the adults could live a good life without exposing themselves or doing it themselves."
His calm tone was full of a sense of twilight, and the pride and amusement of meeting the archbishop seemed to be melted away by the fragrance of tea in the cup.
"I'm ashamed to say that I've been in Rapoll for so many years without discovering your identity, but now that Miss Annabelle is Miss Octavia's companion, she deserves one."
Conrad took a purse from under the table and pushed it to Annabelle, "In addition, Miss Octavia contacted me not long ago, as if expecting you to return to Rapolle, and asked me to convey a message if I found out that Miss Annabelle was returning. ”
"For the sake of the north, please go to the town of Glaar in the west as soon as possible. That's what I said. ”
This was the purpose of Conrad's invitation this time, he didn't know what this news meant, but after seeing Miria yesterday and hearing what she said to Li Fang, he had a little guess.
A large number of Awakened are heading south!
Unlike the secluded and gentle style of Miss Octavia, whom he is loyal to, most of them do not kill humans in addition to satisfying their appetites, and it can be expected that those awakened in the north will only bring destruction when they go south this time......
Taking the money bag, a little heavy weight pressed on the palm of her hand, Annabelle looked at the neatly dressed middle-aged man in front of her with some curiosity.
This is a strange man who serves the Awakened while willing to provide a place for the greatswords to live. Is it all about thinking about living? And to whom is he talking about hatred? He didn't seem at all surprised that his own self, who was also an Awakened One, would get along with a group of great swords.
"I'll get over as soon as I can." Annabelle put away the money bag and suddenly asked in a cold voice, "By the way, can you provide me with real food?" ”
"I'm sorry, all I can do is research this special blend of black tea." Conrad's expression sank, and he took out another box and pushed it to Li Fang, "This is the tea and ingredients that have been prepared, and the brewing method is also in it, please accept it." ”
He looked at Li Fang in his gaze, and there was a pleading.
"Well, thank you for your hospitality." Li Fang exhaled, took the box, and looked away with a bit of coldness and pity, "Don't you wonder why we came together with the Great Sword?" ”
"They've broken away from the organization," Conrad said with a puzzle in his eyes, "I don't know why, but they are now the force around Miss Annabelle, and they must have irreconciled conflicts with the organization." ”
"Yes, you did a good job yesterday." Annabelle took over, "I like Rapolle's environment very much, and I hope to live here all the time, I will solve the food matters by myself, and you will definitely not do anything that makes me difficult in the future." ”
"Of course, not really." Conrad hurriedly promised, and there was helplessness in his lowered eyes.
Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and patted Li Fang's leg in fear: "Let's go." ”
……
The iron-barred door closed slowly with a slight creak, and horse-drawn carriages passed by the sparse pedestrians on the street, so as not to expose too much, and because of Annabelle's refusal, Conrad only ordered the servants to see them off.
Li Fang took one last look at the huge mansion, shook his head and took Annabelle's hand.
"I don't think he's too annoying," Li Fang pondered, "but let's have less contact." ”
Annabelle nodded slightly, a smile on her lips. The man seemed to be a little obsessed with Octavia, always talking about her, but there was little hope.
When they returned to the corner hut, Annabelle noticed that Miriya and their demonic spirit were also here, and after telling Li Fang, the two of them carried the dinner materials they bought by the way and pushed the door open.
After putting his things in the kitchen on the first floor, he went upstairs and saw Miria and Ophelia chatting about something, while Lajuana stood by the window with her arms crossed, and Flora sat next to Miria.
"You're back so early."
Seeing Annabelle and Li Fang come in, Ophelia moved her ass to make a vacant seat beside her, and Annabelle stretched her waist and sat down, her eyes sweeping over Flora and Ophelia with a smile.
Two women who are so beautiful that even she thinks they are beautiful and moving.
"Because as expected, the church did show sincerity in accepting us, and although there were still a few restrictions, our existence was still accepted." Miriya showed a rare smile, she was more cordial and more feminine without a big sword uniform, "The pressure on her body has finally been reduced, and everyone finally has a place to stay." ”
Li Fang felt like a very reliable big sister suddenly smiled softly, couldn't help but look at it more, and noticed that Lahuana was looking at her, her eyes were off, and she motioned for herself to go over?
"Thank you and Li Fang for bringing us here, no matter what happens in the future, we won't hide in Tibet like a lost dog." Flora's voice is as delicate as that of a girl.
After Li Fang approached, she saw that Lahuana showed a very solemn expression for the first time, and her voice was a little lower: "Can you lend me the ability to turn Ophelia back into a human again?" ”
After confirming it with her own eyes, she finally believed that Li Fang really had the ability to make the awakened turn back into a human body.
Li Fang frowned and said, "If I really have this ability, won't I use it for Anna?" As I told you, Ophelia is a special case, probably because of the blood of a special human race in her. ”
"It's good to have successful examples." Lajuana's tone was firm.
“…… I need you to do something for me. ”
"Say it." Lahuana's expression seemed to have agreed.
"It's inconvenient to say now, I'll tell you when I have a chance."
Li Fang glanced back at Anna and them, at such a close distance, even if they were talking, it was very likely that they would hear it.
His eyes were a little distracted for a moment, even if it was Anna, Claire had never had a reason to say it to her plainly.
