Chapter 841: Retention
Roland heard that Helena seemed to be insincere, but since the other party had made it clear that he was leaving, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and subconsciously grabbed her hand, but let go rationally, and smiled reluctantly: "Do you really want to go?" Well, I won't give you away when I leave, so as not to be reluctant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Helena bit her lip, there seemed to be a pearl glitter in her eyes, she took a deep breath to calm her mind, and was about to open her mouth to tell him what she really thought, when a rough laugh suddenly came from behind her: "Brother Roland, come and take a look, we have found a lot of good things!" Then the female ninja sneered: "Yes, yes, as soon as you come back, you'll be busy picking up girls, you really won't change your romantic nature, Helena, I'll talk about it later, we need the knight's help to identify the loot!" ā
Roland's gaze crossed Helena's shoulder and smiled at his companions who were waving at him: "Roney, your mouth is really bad, I wrote down this account, and I will go back to your father to complain." ā
"Oops~ You still dare to threaten me? Isn't it just a small report, who is afraid of whom! The female ninja laughed and retorted, "Do you have any flowers and grass in the astral realm, I know it in my heart, my father admires your romantic deeds very much, and I will tell Sister Mira when I find out!" ā
"Huh? If there is such a thing, then I have to inquire carefully. The female ranger smiled back, and posed very cooperatively as a "Zhenggong Niangniang".
"Don't bother Lord Sword Saint, I'll explain it myself later." Roland's gaze returned to Helena's face, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Ronnie, this girl is too naughty, and she doesn't know the severity of the joke......"
Helena's eyes were gentle and calm: "They only joke when I am a friend, I don't mind, and people don't say anything excessive, to be honest, you are a good person, but sometimes you are too concerned and considerate to people, especially the opposite sex, for you is nothing more than a gentleman's demeanor, but the other party will inevitably think about it, you must know that women are the most fantastical creatures in the world." ā
Roland didn't expect that the Sea Elf Lady would suddenly say such heartfelt words to herself, probably because the parting was imminent, and it would be too late if she didn't say something?
"You're right, I also know that my shortcomings are very bad, probably because of nature, try to correct them." Roland scratched his head in embarrassment.
Helena smiled sympathetically and said softly: "I want to say that it's not your fault, but if you think about it, it's really your fault, and beautiful things always cause unconscious harm to admirers, and I understand this more than you." ā
Roland knew she wasn't just a polite remark. As a "nymph", Helena and her people are almost the ultimate embodiment of all human fantasies about beautiful women, and the mythical boy who fell in love with the water fairy to the point of drowning has ever cared if the other party has the same love for him, whether he is willing to accept his crazy pursuit? It's just that Roland is a man after all, and he has never considered that he also has the potential of "red face and trouble", and he acts casually when interacting with people, which inevitably gives people the impression that he is ruthless and not scrupulous enough.
Helena stared at the young man's handsome face, and her eyes were a little hot. The Nymphs are naturally beautiful and moving, and she also deeply understands what a terrible weapon her charm is, which is not only reflected in her charm-based spells and supernatural abilities, super high charm often brings convenience when interacting with people, but sometimes causes trouble, so she rarely reveals her true face in front of people, a scarf covers her beautiful face and also distances herself from others, others think she is cold and arrogant, in fact, this is just a means of self-protection, and at the same time it is not protecting others. However, at this moment, facing Roland, Helena suddenly realized the feelings of those admirers who were deliberately kept at a distance from her, which was a kind of self-ashamed sourness.
"Have you had some kind of adventure during this time in the astral realm, and your charm seems to have increased a lot compared to before?" She asked casually.
Roland nodded frankly in acknowledgement. Charm and intelligence, perception is the same spiritual attributes, intelligence and perception are internal attributes, from the surface it is difficult to see a person's outstanding intelligence or perception is keen, but charm is completely different, a person's charm can be directly reflected from the appearance, manners and temperament and other external perceptions, can not be hidden at all.
On this trip to the astral plane, Roland first improved two points of charm through the test of mental storming, and then obtained a total of 8 charm performance bonuses from Sister Golden Dragon and the Demon Queen, and finally Durandal's unsealing also improved his charm by two points, and now the total value of the charm attribute is as high as 46, and it can be said that there are more charismatic creatures than him in this world - regardless of gender, or race - I am afraid that there are no more than five fingers. Charisma is his most important spiritual attribute, and the increased charm will improve his combat and spell-casting abilities in all aspects, but it will also bring a burden, that is, the attraction to others will become more and more intense, like a candle in the dark night, which will always attract moths to pounce.
"Looks like I should learn from you and get a veil or mask to put on." Roland laughed to himself.
Helena shook her head and suggested seriously: "Your charm is close to the realm of gods, it is useless to just cover your face, but it will create a sense of mystery and strengthen the attraction, what you really need is not a veil or a mask, but to learn to refuse." ā
"Refuse?" Roland was thoughtful.
"If someone expresses a liking for you, and you don't feel anything for her, you have to reject it decisively, lest the other person fall deeper and deeper, which may be a bit cold, but it is the best choice, whether it is for others or for yourself." Helena said earnestly, "Your energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to take care of the mood of every self-inflicted amorous girl, and if you try to satisfy all those close to you, you will only end up disappointing everyone, and you will not be happy." ā
Roland was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you for your admonition, I will take it to heart." ā
Helena endured the sourness in her heart and smiled slightly: "It's better to experience it for yourself no matter how much you say, I'm leaving, don't you want to wish me a smooth journey?" ā
Roland looked into her eyes, and after a long time, shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, I can't say it, in fact I want you to stay." ā
Helena could hardly hold back the tears in her eyes, and choked up with disgust: "Look at you, you just said that you would take my warning to heart, and you regretted it so quickly." ā
"There are some people I can refuse, but ...... to you Helena, I'm sorry I can't do it, don't say the polite words against your will, now the Giant Demon Island is in ruins, everything has to be run from scratch, the most lacking is talent, I need a competent agent, familiar with the local environment and trustworthy, no one is more suitable for this position than you, if you want to go, go quietly, otherwise don't blame me for squeezing you to be a coolie on this island. Roland half-jokingly tried to keep Helena.
