Chapter 257: Covenant?
"It's about Cecilia. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Thinking of the loss and grief of the Moon Elf during this time, Sophia couldn't help but sigh softly, "Because I have to escort the Broken Star Fury and Watson Trau back, I don't have time to say goodbye to you, she asked me to tell you, she's sorry." ”
"Say goodbye to me?" Ryan silently looked at his right hand, and the silky warm touch seemed to be vivid. Not to mention, for this cold and beautiful elf, Ryan really expects her to say goodbye to him.
Capturing the surprise on Ryan's face, Sophia could certainly guess what he was thinking: "Cecilia doesn't really know how to get along with others, but she will remember that whoever treats her well, in her eyes, she must have regarded you as a friend for a long time......"
"Stop!" Seeing that the other party was talking about the moon elf and gushing, Ryan's mind suddenly appeared in the matchmaker during the blind date, and immediately interrupted Sophia's speech, "Grandma, if you have anything, just say it." ”
With an embarrassed smile, Sophia no longer hid it: "Okay, since you said so." ”
"Actually, the Wrath of the Stars is very important to the Moon Elves, but due to the exclusion of the Moon Elves by the Shining Star Castle, the Moon Church has no chance to set foot in the old site."
"Cecilia has now gotten the Wrath of the Stars, but you know, it's been destroyed. It wasn't Cecilia's responsibility, but someone would have spilled dirty water on her. ”
"She's not likeable, but she shouldn't be annoying, right?" Ryan asked expressionlessly, but there was an inexplicable glint in the depths of his eyes.
However, Sophia didn't see this, so she didn't think much about it: "You don't know, as a candidate for the Priestess of the Moon, the other contenders will definitely try their best to discredit her." ”
"It doesn't have anything to do with me?"
"Cecilia is pitiful, her life is even more miserable than you think, so Ryan, count me begging you, if you need it, you must help her." Suddenly grabbing the half-elf's right hand, Sophia's eyes stared straight at each other.
"Uh, you calm down first." Ryan gently patted the back of Sophia's hand, and the latter seemed to realize that his actions were a little rude, and quickly let go and apologized, "I know what you mean, don't worry, although that chick is very rude, but after all, she helped me, and we are still through hardships together." If there is a need, I will do my part. ”
But by the best amount, it depends.
Ryan just said the last sentence silently in his heart, although he sympathized with Cecilia's plight, but he didn't have that much power to change other people's lives.
At least not yet.
"Well, then I'll thank you for her." Ryan's wisdom and strength Sophia has seen it, and since the battle in the Demon Slayer Valley, the half-elves have left a strong impression on her heart. Now that she had his promise, Sophia was a lot more relieved, and even the smile on her face became more cheerful for a while.
Laughing without saying a word, seeing that Sophia's eyes kept wandering, but she didn't mean to get up and leave, Ryan took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Is this what you came to talk to me about?" ”
"There's one more thing about me." Somehow, Sophia's cheeks turned crimson, her fingers twitched, and her gaze quickly shifted to Ryan's face.
Seeing her shyness, Ryan's heart beat and pinched, and he became nervous for some reason.
"Ahem." Clearing his throat, Ryan smoothed out the throbbing, "Can you please not look at me like this, my heart is so panicked......"
"Actually, I mean to say." As if having made up her mind, Sophia took a deep breath, but the next words made the atmosphere drop to freezing point in an instant, "Isn't this the New Year coming soon?" My sister's wedding is about to start, so I thought you'd like to invite you to ......"
"Sophia." Ryan's voice became unusually low, and the shyness on the other party's face gradually disappeared with a serious gaze, "You know, although I am an illegitimate child, half of me is from Barnard. ”
"I know ......"
"Do you know how much the marriage between Griff and Boudia has affected Barnard's reputation?"
"I ......"
"You know what? If I participate, I'm afraid the whole Cormier will laugh off his big teeth, and with my father's character, he will definitely kill me. ”
“……”
Under his own questioning, Sophia's chin was almost buried in her chest, the water in her eyes was flowing, and the appearance of crying made Ryan sigh lightly, and quickly put away her scary eyes and attitude.
Coming to the girl's side, Ryan's left hand gently rested on her shoulder, and the strong touch made the loss in the latter's heart gradually fade away: "I'm sorry, but I think I have to refuse ......"
"No, please, promise me." Grabbing Ryan's arm tightly, Sophia's eyes once again swelled with anticipation, this time more determined than before, "Not as Barnard, but, mine, my ......"
"Friends." The last two words were almost uttered through gritted teeth, and Sophia's cheeks once again appeared a tender pink. However, this time, the girl's first appearance of love did not make Ryan react in any way.
Sighing slightly, Ryan's tone was low: "You want to pull me as a shield?" ”
The eldest daughter got married, and it was naturally Sophia's turn as the second daughter, although the other party didn't say it explicitly, but Ryan had already guessed that Sophia's intention to invite him was nothing more than that.
Without denying it, Sophia bowed down to Ryan apologetically: "I know it's unreasonable, but please listen to me." I, I just don't want to be like my sister and be treated like a cargo to determine the future. ”
"I'm not, I'm not a tool, it's just, I want to be free......"
"And have you ever wondered what would happen to me?" Seeing the crystal teardrops slipping from the corners of the girl's eyes, Ryan couldn't help but turn his gaze to the side, and his tone did not change in the slightest.
Silently wiping away her tears, Sophia trayed out her plan: "The prestige of Shining Star Castle is very great, and you are the apprentice of Archmage Lancestel, they dare not do anything to you......"
"You want me to disguise myself?"
"Most people haven't seen you for real, just make a slight change and no one will find out." Talking about her long-planned plan, Sophia regained her confidence again, "Even if someone finds out, in the name of Archmage Lancedel, no one wants to offend you. ”
"Well, since you've said so." Seeing Sophia looking at him expectantly, Ryan shrugged his shoulders and agreed, "I'll give it a try." ”
"But I still have some personal matters to deal with recently, let's discuss this matter later."
"Thank you!" Bowing deeply to Ryan, Sophia stopped bothering Ryan, pushed open the door, and walked away under Patrick's escort.
With a wave of his hand, an invisible force slammed the door shut, and Ryan's dark eyes grew deeper in the dim light of the room.
Strength and identity are the most basic criteria for seeing people in this world. Before Ryan came to Castle Shinestar, he was just Barnard's bastard son, an existence that could be looked down upon by anyone.
But now, he's an apprentice to a legendary spellcaster, and a powerful mage who has fought and won against monsters and dark elves!
He began to look forward to how interesting it would be when people who knew him saw him being treated as a guest, or even a guest, by Griff.
