Chapter 232: Comparing Hearts to Hearts
Looking at an old man standing in front of me like a candle in the wind, I naturally lowered my tone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hello, sir, I'm here to look up some literature." I tried to be as humble and deferential as I could, trying to win a touch of favor from the old administrator.
"Literature?" He raised his still-bright eyes and looked at me, "How did you know this was a Archive?" It's no longer open to outsiders. ”
"This ...... I listened to Mr. Yinji. "I thought about it and decided to say his name.
After all, he did tell me he went to the Archives, so I'm not lying when I say that.
"Silver season...... There aren't many people who know Silver Season, and I have an impression of them. The old man scrutinized my face, "But you...... I seem to be a little embarrassed. ”
"No, I think I've seen you somewhere, but I can't remember it." He pressed his temple, "Anyway, in my impression, you and Yinji don't seem to be close to each other." ”
"Ah, that's right, I just met Mr. Yinji, and he asked me to get the literature this time." I decided to continue the lie," because he missed some of the literature the last time he came to get it. ”
To enhance credibility, I also took out a roll of the documents I had just put away, "Look, old man, this is what he took back last time, right?" ”
The old man only glanced at me, and his eyes immediately changed.
However, this change is not about trust, but about vigilance.
"Young man, this is not the last time Yinji came to pick up the literature." He shook his head, "Don't use such dirty tricks to deceive me, I'm not that easy to deceive as an old man." ”
What's going on? I'm obviously holding it.
"Long night." Xie Yan's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "The share you took out...... It was Noelle's, and Yinji didn't leave any of the documents he was looking for. ”
Oops, I took the wrong one.
Rather, it's ...... I missed it.
"Please come back." The old man gave me a somewhat contemptuous look, and it seemed that his attitude towards me had dropped to the freezing point, "I don't know what you want to do here, but I want to say that there is nothing you are looking for here." ”
Damn it.
What a misstep into a thousand hatreds.
I just took the wrong step and ended up losing everything like I am now.
Is there any other remedy?
I stood there, my mind racing.
The more we are at this critical juncture, the more we can't stop thinking.
You have to figure out how to deal with the crisis at hand.
But...... In what way?
"I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Suddenly, this phrase rang in my head.
Where does he seem to be...... Seen me?
I've never seen this old man since I came to the reconstructed area of the Radiant Valley, so why did he see me?
Under what circumstances will such an old man, who has been in the archives all day long, describe himself as withered, be able to see me?
By the way, Elise seems to have said before that the Archives is located in the Holy Lotus City.
Could it be that he had seen me in Holy Lotus City?
If that's the case, it makes sense!
Because there are too many people who have seen me in the Holy Lotus City.
As for why?
The reason is simple.
Because......
"Look at this, old man." I smiled and felt for Rinslet's seal.
The wooden seal is particularly deep in the gloom of dawn, but the words engraved on it are very clear.
The old man's gaze fell on the seal, and his expression was replaced by shock.
"You...... You are? ”
Hopefully he remembers.
"Oh my God, Archmage Rinslet has come back to life! He's right in front of me! The old man burst into tears and was elated.
Well, it seems that he didn't remember.
I'm a little speechless.
"This ...... I'm not Archmage Rinslet, I'm the Edge Night. I looked at the old man with a wry smile.
Since he had seen me in the Holy Lotus City, it must have been because of the conferment ceremony of the Protector of the Kingdom, and if that was the case, then he would definitely be able to recognize me as the Protector of the Kingdom.
"Edge...... Night? He looked at me with a complicated face, not understanding what I was talking about.
"I am the protector of the country, the protector of the country for a long night." I explained desperately, trying to make him remember.
Although, it should be the 'former' protector now.
But the former Soviet Union is also the Soviet Union, and it is not in the way.
"Protector of the Country...... Isn't that Rinslet? The old man looked a little confused.
"That's the former protector!" I felt like I was about to get myself in.
"Oh...... Long night on the edge, long night on the edge, I remember, you are the one who healed the sacred tree! Suddenly, as if in a flash of inspiration, the old man actually remembered.
It's not easy.
"That's right, that's right, didn't you say you saw me before?" I put on a face that was about to cry and nodded desperately, "That must be when I was the protector of the country, I'm right." ”
"No, it's not." The old man shook his head blankly.
Ha? No?
I've been reasoning for so long, I almost thought I was Shinichi Kudo, and you gave me a 'no'?
"And where did you see me?" I asked, holding back the urge to cry.
I have to know the truth.
"I went out to buy groceries the day before yesterday and saw you at the door of the bar." He said honestly.
Okay, you don't feel like you're squatting at home, and you're going out to buy groceries.
I felt like I was being played by this old man.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that, now that you know who I am, can I go in?" I shook the tears from my face and asked seriously.
The old man nodded and opened the door.
"If it's the Lord Protector, then naturally there is no problem, please."
Looking at the old man's appearance now, I suddenly felt as if his whole person had changed after he knew that I was the protector of the country.
But well, forget it, anyway, the problem is solved, so there's nothing to say.
"Thank you." I nodded in thanks and walked through the door.
The old man then closed the heavy wooden door.
The sound of the door closing behind me was shocking.

The Misty Believer was on the game the moment the maintenance ended.
"Let me see." He lay on the ground, quietly observing the traces of the ground.
The poisonous needle of the bright candle and the snow is not only used to make people sleep, it also has a more useful place.
It leaves a characteristic mark on the ground of the person who has been pierced.
And this kind of trace can only be seen by those who are sneaking.
Looking at the thin and sinuous line on the ground, the misty believer clenched the dagger in his hand at the same time.
