Verse 490: Walking in the Snow (3)
The bar's bodyguard pushed open the door and cautiously greeted the mediocre-looking young man in front of him, who smiled and nodded, thanking the Natali demon for his service with a kind smile, who faced him with tears streaming down his face, but was surprisingly not ignited by the divine light.
"Your Highness is even more powerful than before, I remember when you came to me, just one glance made my bar lose more than half of the waiters." The succubus sitting at the counter stood up as the young man walked through the door, and welcomed the arrival of the true god with the most convincing chest caressing.
"I heard you've been investigating a broker named Konstantin lately, haven't you?" The young man walked over to the counter and sat down, reached out and pulled a little demon from under the counter who wanted to take a little souvenir from his pocket, twisted its neck with one hand, and then casually threw it to another large devil on the side, who swallowed it in his mouth without hesitation.
"Yes, you see, this city is so small, I told my partner, don't trouble that gentleman if you have nothing to do, you see, I don't know if he is in trouble, I just know that I am in trouble." The succubus smiled, flapping the meat wings behind him, and poured a glass of wine for the young man in front of him: "Prairie Elf Secret Brew, only the most fearless devils and demons dare to drink, but for you, maybe you will get tired of it." ”
"No, the wine my family makes for me will definitely be my favorite wine." The young man held up his glass as he spoke: "Your partner's hand is too long, I help one of my little friends take care of this young man named Konstantin, so, tell your partner, either stop or face destruction, after all, it's not just cats who die of curiosity in this world." ”
"Of course, Your Highness, by the way, I recently had news that a few Mind Flayers in the Outlands seem to have captured a few of your little dependents."
"Ah, you mean that." The young man stretched out his hand and pulled out a Mind Flayer's head from his private space: "It's a bit of an interesting race, but again, if you stretch your hand too long, you'll always be beaten, and this head will be handed over to you, as a reward for telling me this somewhat outdated secret, I remember that there will be people here who will like their heads." ”
"You are so merciful! Thank you, it's great, such a mind flayer head that still has a soul preserved, but it can be exchanged for a lot of good things from the big guys in the undead world! The succubus happily put away the head, and then watched as the young man had drunk and filled another glass for him.
The young man continued to drink, and the succubus honestly added wine to him, until after four glasses, she was a little confused, a little bold, and a little arrogant: "Your Highness, it seems that you come here every once in a while, I think it's very strange, because this place is full of devils and demons, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for the existence of such a noble status as you, after all, everything here is polluting you, of course, I don't mean that when I say pollution, I want to say that everything here is not worthy of you." ”
"I just...... In nostalgia for the past, nostalgia for the mortal who made a pact with me, even if it is destroyed, will become my coordinates, drag me from the other side of the void to that world, he is a very strange person, likes to be lively, but silent, he is a very contradictory person, obviously hates that world, but in the end he uses everything he makes a pact with me to save that world. ”
"There are mortals who can make a pact with you! What a noble soul it is, even if I can see it, it is enough to make me have no regrets in this life. The succubus sighed, and then asked, "Can you tell me, that mortal, that he is your favorite?" Or is it your oracle? ”
In the eyes of the succubus, how could a mortal make such a terrible contract with such a righteous god, holding the soul as a hostage, what a terrible willpower it requires.
"An atheist, after his world came into contact with the transcendent world because of the acceptance of subspace, he summoned me from the void with his power, and he said that he was able to ask me to save that world at the cost of his eternal soul."
"Eternal soul, please? I feel like he's talking nonsense, no matter how noble his soul is, it can't be the price of a contract with you, and his soul can't have such a bright light. The succubus shook her head, and at the same time she looked at the young man in front of her on the counter: "If it were me, I would never be like him." ”
No matter how noble a mortal soul is, it is impossible for her to make a contract with the righteous god in front of her, and this is almost a mandatory contract.
"That's how you differ from me, I acknowledge this contract, and since that day on, I've been protecting the world he loves." The young man sighed softly when he said this: "All these years, I have wanted to stop it all the time, but that mortal soul is as hard as the toughest material in the world, reincarnation after reincarnation, and every time the Grim Reaper will come to pick him up when he is six years old, and at that time, his memory will be recalled for a short time, and I have asked him again and again if he has any regrets, and he said that he has no ......"
“…… Why, Your Highness, you are so noble, and no matter how noble that gentleman's soul is, you cannot be equal to each other. The succubus sighed - this highness is good at everything, but this camp is too problematic.
Even if this mortal did have a noble soul that was rare in the world, it was impossible for the succubus to achieve it from the perspective of the principle of equivalent exchange.
But because of this, the succubus could only watch the young highness sit there.
"I asked him, that world is so filthy and evil, it is because of these people that the Chaos Evil God was able to establish coordinates and invade that world, in this case, does he still need to pay such a high price to save this world?" The young man looked at the syrup in the glass, and he shook it until the succubus transformed into a succubus picked up the topic: "How did he answer, Your Highness?" ”
He said that he was saving all the innocents on the planet under his feet who needed to be saved, the souls who did not give up in desperate situations, and the warriors who stood in front of the innocents in purgatory...... As for the filthy souls, they were left to those whom he had saved to be purified. With that, the young man in the eyes of the succubus drank the wine in his hand, then got up and walked to the exit.
"Your Highness, be careful all the way." The succubus watched as His Highness left her bar and leaned back on the cushion of her chair, she thought for a moment, then smiled a little helplessly.
Human beings are truly full of infinite possibilities, they can be the lowest life in the world, and they can also be the purest soul in the world.
The succubus hopes that the latter can be more, and in this way, it will be her happiest moment to be able to make such a soul fall.
If she can't fall, let the noble soul purify her.
………………
Constantin Julius has not liked the clock that has been with him since he was born, and the young people of the family are a little surprised by this, walking in different sequences, naturally not understanding their grandfather's sensitivity to the bells.
As the tide of death approached, the bell's bells seemed to sound like the footsteps of destruction, each striking representing its drawnness from this world.
Old Konstantin can't do anything about it, he's old, the world is sliding into the abyss, he can't do anything about it, but if he wants to put his old bones up and fight something, old Konstantin won't even frown.
"Grandpa, why don't you like that grandfather clock, how beautiful it is." The youngest grandchild asked, standing by the clock.
Yes, how beautiful it was, the old man of Julius asked himself, it was a special gift from the king when his father and mother were married.
It took half a year to make it by a halfling craftsman, and the last ten times the clockwork will not be missing a second.
"Grandpa is old, and I can't understand this bell anymore, why don't I send it to you?" The old man asked with a smile.
"No, it's grandpa's stuff." The young boy shook his head, just like his father had done back then.
Thinking so, Konstantin noticed his butler, who pushed open the door: "Master, Prince Marin is here." ”
"Invite him in." It was cold in Regensburg today, and the old sage of the House of Julius welcomed the young man with a smile, and he motioned for the prince to sit beside him: "Marin, my little friend, I thought you would pull a colorful teleportation channel and jump out of the fireplace of my house. ”
"It's a test for me, Your Excellency." Marin finished smiling, and took out a document from the file bag he was holding: "Your Excellency, out of consideration for the future, I hope you can relocate to the Duchy of Farol, the new city of Rongma is being built, and the Diver Guild and the Sage Tower are needed, and we can give you the most preferential treatment." ”
"That's fine, but I don't think you're here today just for these two things, tell me, the old man, what else do you want to ask." As a sage, Konstantin naturally understands this truth, and the people of southern Thailand have a proverb about this - nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"My wives are pregnant." Marin spoke.
Konstantin was a little smirked by this answer, and he was about to congratulate the young man when something suddenly came to mind: "I remember, you seem to have just become a legend." ”
"Yes, Cross's adoptive father thinks there's a problem, let me ask you." There was no nervousness on Marin's face when he said this: "I think he's making a big fuss, but out of trust in the elders, I think I should come and ask you." ”
"There are indeed some problems, but I think it should be the reason why you have achieved a legend, you are now the purest golden bloodline, even if it is Miss Maya, it is a lower level of existence for you, maybe because of this, your bloodline completely suppresses their bloodline, plus the relationship between the two of you is real and forcible, but it will increase the chance of conception, so that young man only saw the surface of the problem, but did not see the core." Konstantin analyzed.
"That's what I thought, then there's no problem, I have other things to deal with here, and I'm leaving." Mr. Marin smiled and nodded, then got up to take his leave.
When the young man left, the smile faded from Konstantin's face, and he looked down at his trembling hands.
Old dog, what are you afraid of?
The old man asked himself, but in the past, he had tried and tested the heart technique, but this time it was completely useless.
At the same time, the bell rang on the hour.
………………
Walking out of Julius' old mansion, Marin decided to check on the institute - he hadn't shown much of his face in recent months, and the elven ambassador had complained several times that Marin wasn't getting things done.
In the poor field, Prince Marin Gayat has been in charge of every day recently, and every day is a 996-level blessed life, and sometimes he even takes the initiative to work overtime to become a 047-level perpetual motion machine.
In this way, Marin can't be idle, pulling the teleportation channel around the world every day, let's take a look, anyway, returning to Rongma is just a different form of work.
Considering Regensburg's alarm mode, Marin didn't pull the teleportation channel directly to the research institute - in case the defense circle failed, it would be fun to transfer the teleportation channel to the center of the black zone.
Marin, who chose to walk on his legs, certainly wouldn't say that he was going to steal half a day's leisure.
Then before he had taken a few steps, just around the corner, Marin was confronted by a certain orangutan from the National Security Agency, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, and the two sides had big eyes on each other, and this one immediately recognized Marin's identity: "Your Excellency, why are you here today!" ”
The identity has been confirmed, and it looks like I'm the real Marin.
Thinking of this, Marin reluctantly said that he was going to be lazy.
"How can this work? Excellency! Let me take you to the institute today! With that, the gorilla chased his men away from the driver's seat, and then he sat in the front row, motioning for Marin to sit in the back seat where he had just been sitting.
"Okay." Marin nodded heavily.
I can't live this day, I just want to be lazy, why is it so difficult to achieve?!
This gorilla is really not the son of man, no wonder the son is cold war with him for love.
Although he was slandered, he still got into the car with great enthusiasm, and Marin thought to himself, even if it was okay, people were also in a good place - why was this car so fast!
As soon as he thought of this, in the process of the car's horizontal tailing, Marin only felt that the heaven and earth had been turned upside down at this moment, and then this reversal was repeated several times, until the young man who landed safely stumbled from the street to the sidewalk, and finally pressed his hands against the wall.
Was the orangutan replaced? Or is he an undercover Chaos agent at all?
With such doubts, Marin walked for twenty-seven minutes and finally met Mr. Orangutan who had returned the same way.
This orangutan still knows to come back to find someone, and it doesn't look like it's hopeless.
Marin stood on the sidewalk with his hands on his hips and watched as the orangutan stopped in front of him with a locomotive.
"Why did you jump out of the car?" Orangutans speak.
