Chapter 5: Pull Hook
After speaking, Lilith raised her lowered gaze again, and her eyes that made people unable to see through emotion looked at Finn's eyes quietly, and the girl's gaze seemed to ask the young paladin: "Do you think I am right to think so?" ”
Ever since she met Fein on the execution grounds of the Ork Fortress, she has always lacked assertiveness and always wants to ask Fein about everything in order to confirm what is right and what is wrong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Finn sat cross-legged in front of Lilith, silently facing Lilith's gaze at him.
Two seconds later, he probably thought about something, and then asked the girl, "Are you sure the rest of the memory is in the Tower of Babel?" ”
Fein asked because he already knew that Lilith had retrieved half of her memories in the deepest part of the ancient ruins at the foot of Mount Elbuck.
The reason why the group was able to return to the surface from the depths of the ruins a week ago was because after he successfully destroyed the obsidian codex, Lilith not only regained her senses, but also remembered the operation rules and triggers of all the mechanisms of the entire ruins, so they led him back, and along the way found all the people who were still alive in the ruins, and left the lower level of the ruins through another law gate in the ruins, and finally came to the current Lord Manor on the outskirts of Orlan at Leah's suggestion.
After leaving the ruins and riding back to the manor from Scorpion Valley, Lilith's emotions no longer showed the extremely unstable panic of being in the ruins, but since she led the group out of the ruins, she told Finn that she had further found the clues of her memories, and stubbornly decided that all the remaining memories were on the side of the Tower of Babel.
On the first day she and the others came to Alfred's manor, they asked Finn for books, and when they learned that there was a library in the manor, they plunged into it and never came out, and Finn had no choice but to ask Hoff to take care of her while he was standing by Arya's bedside, and the old servant in charge of the library told Finn, who had visited her several times in a week, that the books she had read most of the days were all about the wasteland and the desert, and asked Finn curiously. Is this young lady also going on a tour of the Tower of Babel? This sentence.
Finn knew that Lilith really wanted to retrieve her memories, but the wizards' journey to the West was indeed dangerous.
So even if he really wants to accompany Lilith to the Tower of Babel, he must ask Lilith about it, so as not to go through a lot of hardships in exchange for the result of running in vain.
Lilith met Finne's earnest gaze at her, and without hesitation, she nodded her head to indicate that she was sure.
After receiving Lilith's affirmative reply, Finn stopped pestering her on the subject, and then let out a sigh of relief and asked her again, "Do you want to go now?" ”
"Hmm." Lilith looked at Finn and nodded again very honestly, "But ......"
"But what?"
"I'm a little scared."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid that no one will go with me." Suddenly, Lilith looked directly into Finn's eyes, although there was still no emotional fluctuation in her dark eyes, her appearance seemed to be very serious and serious for a while, "Finn, if I get lost one day in the future and accidentally forget the last refuge in this world, are you still willing to travel thousands of miles to find me at that time?" If the world loses me one day, will you stand behind me and hold me tight until then? ”
When the words fell, she stared at Finn with big eyes open, and the sudden words made Finn stunned, and he didn't know how to answer her for a moment.
Finn felt that what Lilith said to himself just now was not like he was afraid that he would not accompany her to the Tower of Babel, but as if he suddenly turned a corner to confess to him, and suddenly his face gradually turned red for some reason, and his eyes unconsciously glanced to the side, and his mind was crazy, and he said Miss Lilith, who did you learn from this literary style? Why do I feel like I'm being molested by a girl with no three?
What, can you speak well?
Although I was very good at fighting in your world in my previous life, and I wasn't a soft-footed shrimp who couldn't walk when I saw a female NPC, but you suddenly said these lines to me like this, which I usually only see in novels, I'm still a little embarrassed, okay?
Although I don't hate you at all, I want to say that kind of liking at once...... Uh, that kind of like......
How to say that?
How so......
Ahh......hhh
"Finn?"
"Ahh
Suddenly hearing Lilith's emotionless floating voice, Finn suddenly came back to his senses from his cranky state, and shifted his gaze back to look at Lilith a little nervously, but suddenly found that Lilith's eyes staring at him suddenly lost his previous calmness, and at this moment, he more or less revealed a trace of uneasiness, and then looked at himself and continued to ask: "Finn, don't you want to be with me?" ”
"Don't guess, when did I say I didn't want to go to the Tower of Babel with you." Finn forced himself to look at Lilith, who suddenly became a little strange, and while watching for any hallucinogenic spell traps in the attic of this library, he complained to Lilith and said, "Do you really understand the meaning of the phrase "together"?
He figured that Lilith didn't understand, and in fact Lilith probably didn't know that what she said had caused a little misunderstanding for Finn.
Because after she heard Finn's answer, her dark eyes immediately lit up, and then she softly thanked Finn: "Thank you, Finn, I knew that you would be willing to accompany me to the Tower of Babel." ”
"Well, after all, I didn't say I wouldn't go with you from the beginning, did I?" Finn raised his hand to the back of his head, scratching his hair a little uncomfortably, "It's just ......"
"Just?"
"What happened on the shores of the St. Fern Sea is as important to me as your memories are to you." Feeling the need to show Lilith his attitude, Finn immediately changed his serious face, looked at Lilith without joking, and said, "So, when this matter is settled, I will definitely accompany you to the Tower of Babel to retrieve your remaining memories, but I hope that time is not now." ”
He finished this sentence in a serious manner, looked at Lilith's blank cheek again, and felt that his tone seemed to be a little too serious, and then he softened again, and raised his right hand and held out a little finger towards Lilith.
"What is this?" Lilith lowered her gaze and looked curiously at Finn's right little finger hovering in front of her.
"This action is called pulling and gouging." Finn patiently told her, "In my hometown, it's used exclusively for private promises between friends, that two people hooking their little fingers together and pulling them together will complete this simple ritual, and whoever breaks the promise will become a puppy." ”
"But I don't want you to be a puppy." Lilith immediately said to him calmly.
"So I'm not going to break my promise." Finn smiled, his eyes tenderly looking into her black eyes, "I promise you that when this side of the St. Furren Sea is over, I will go with you to the Tower of Babel to find the rest of your memories." Liars are puppies. ”
“…… Well. Lilith hesitated, then also stretched out the little finger of her left hand, hooked it with Finn's finger a little awkwardly, and pulled it gently, "Then it's an appointment." Deception is a puppy, and you are not allowed to become a puppy. ”
With that, she withdrew her hand, opened the book of "General History of the Wasteland" on her knee-skirt and looked down, the dim light in the attic did not affect her dark vision, and the atmosphere in the room quickly quieted down.
Seeing that Lilith seemed to have finished everything she wanted to say, Finn silently sighed that Lilith seemed to have really changed a lot after coming out of the ruins, thinking that she must not be as eloquent as she is today, and for a moment she was really embarrassed.
While thinking, he shook his head, turned his head in one direction to the side, and found that he had a bookmarked red book in his hand, so he picked up the book casually, turned the page with the bookmark and glanced at it casually.
A few seconds later.
"Lilith."
"Huh?" The dark-haired girl raised her gaze from the book on her knee-skirt.
"Although the name of this book is "The Love History of the Knight of Lossand", it is not a history book, it is just a chivalric novel, and the content in it is about the adventure love story of a knight named Losander and a princess." Finn also put down the red book in his hand and looked at her, "Have you read this book?" ”
"Hmm." Lilith looked calm and nodded, "I read it the night before yesterday." ”
"What did you learn from this?"
“…… Well. The girl seemed to think about it for a while, and then nodded, "How is it, is it good?" ”
“…… Good. Finn looked at her carefully, blinked, and nodded in acknowledgement.
Then, he half-rolled his eyes, raised his hand and slapped it on his head, saying in his heart that it was really impossible for a stupid girl to be so romantic, it was all because he thought too much. (To be continued.) )
