Marin sat at the small table, looking at the figure in the shadows under the blazing bright light, the latter took a bowl of smelling donburi rice and threw it on the table: "Are you hungry, if you are hungry, tell me why you came to our Matilda in the middle of the night." ”

Marin sniffled and burped - he had eaten a little too much at Moweis's house at night, and he wasn't hungry yet, and his meat was really enough.

The apprentices on the side burst into laughter, and the figure turned off the incandescent lamp, then sat down in front of Marin, and the young mentor looked at Marin as he began to eat, "You killed that twisted armor alone." ”

"Ah, it's all up to Fio, Lorraine, and Bloodroar, and of course Milani and Beep have helped." Marin stretched out his hand to introduce his little helpers, and at the table, Fio roared with blood, and Lorraine pretended to be Beep and Milani, and the family of five was happy.

The young man shook the spoon in his hand: "...... Then why did you come to Matilda. ”

"Some people say she needs me." Of course, it is impossible for Marin to betray the fair girl of the royal capital, this girl should come out without telling someone, if she is sold, without her, Marin himself will find a point to hang himself up.

The young instructor turned his head to look at the apprentices: "Listen, why don't you fools even chase girls, look at the mouths of others, which of you can compare." ”

The apprentices said that this was a bit excessive, and the mentor snorted at them, then turned to look at Marin: "I don't think Matilda objected, it seems that you are not wrong, but what do you do with this armor." ”

"What do you mean by what to do, is this thing worth it?" Marlin was a little curious.

"Of course, such a complete self-propelled armor, every part of its body is a treasure, halflings, dwarves, elves, mage towers, and the United Council of Nobles, they will all flock to it." So said the young mentor.

"Dwarves, I understand, halflings, elves, what is the situation." Marin felt that the dwarves could understand what it was like to be halflings, and what was the use of them asking for this thing.

"Halfling Engineering Society, have you forgotten the biggest opponent of the Dwarf Workshop?" As soon as the mentor said, Marin patted his head: "I really forgot." ”

"Halflings will cry when they hear you say that." After the young mentor finished speaking, he began to introduce Marin to another one: "The Elf Seiko Industry is a large-scale joint workshop established by the elves in order to learn to use machinery and muskets, and the most powerful elven masters are in it, because their Eternal Night Island is overseas in the far north, extremely far away from the destruction zone and the black zone, and they have not been able to systematically collect all kinds of relics from the period of destruction and before, if their diplomats know that you have such a battle armor here, they will definitely exchange all kinds of good things you don't expect to exchange with you." ”

"So what's the use of the Mage Tower and the Noble United Council with this?" Marin asked.

"The Mage Tower has always wanted to make a self-propelled warframe that can protect their mages, and this warframe of yours is a complete warframe that they have never been able to find, do you think that the Mage Tower will definitely pay enough for this, even if it is possible to take out a half-plane."

"So...... And what do the nobles want to do? Marin felt that he still needed to ask.

"Needless to say, the self-propelled armor is the highest-end relic of the Age of Destruction that we can find at the moment, they are wandering in groups in the black zone, no one has ever had a chance to catch a complete armor, the human machine group under the United Council of Nobles has always wanted to obtain such a complete armor, with it, all the parts will be restored to the blueprints, if possible, humans may piece together a large number of armors to use against any enemy."

"Including you." Marin asked.

"Of course, including us." The young mentor continued to eat: "But I don't think they can mass-produce such things, our church workshop of the Righteous Church has obtained a lot of parts, and until now we have not been able to obtain their material composition, and the materials are not up to standard, and any testing is just a piece of paper. ”

This sentence made Marin awe-inspired—these guys had already tried it!

It seems that the failure of the materials led to the failure of the prototype, but in any case, the just church is the existence of silent wealth.

"Who do you think I should sell to?" Ma [ ] Lin asked with a smile.

"What do you say?" Instead of answering positively, the young man asked rhetorically.

Marin smiled and made a choice: "I won't sell anyone, as for how to operate, you can watch it when the time comes." ”

"Do you want a self-propelled warframe to become a farm machine, to be honest, it's a good idea, but who would use such an expensive war machine...... Wait a minute......" The young mentor patted his head: "If it is civilian, there is no need to work the materials, and our existing materials can be used, but the problem is that the self-propelled mecha is not human, and he cannot do fine work." ”

"But it can replace humans in some ways, save them from injury, and you didn't guess that right." Marin smiled: "When I'm done here, I'll announce it later, you can help me spread the news, just say that in five days, I want to meet every guest who is interested in getting this armor." ”

"Our church can't help you keep it for nothing." The leader of the Church of Justice walked down, and he looked at Marin and asked with a smile.

"No problem, when the deal is reached, I'll give you enough storage fees, how about it." Marin said with a smile.

"No problem, my lord trusts you, and we will trust you, and ......" He turned and looked at the lady who was holding Matilda, "Lady Sharmander, when are you going to hold Matilda?" ”

The lady finally let go of her, and Matilda hurried to Marin's face.

Marin stretched out his hand and took her, "Then I'll take Matilda back." ”

"We're not going to send it." The old bishop smiled and nodded.

………………

Watching Marin lead Matilda away, the old bishop drove the apprentices back to their room, then sat down at the small table and looked at the young tutor who was eating: "What do you think of this child?" ”

"He has a heart, not like a half-grown boy, but like a treacherous and cunning businessman." The young man took the last bite, then put down the bowl: "He has the integrity of a giant, the cunning of a man, the pride of an elf, and the appearance of a believer of the Alien Plane of our Lord...... I really don't know what he is. ”

"Yes, to say that he is a giant, that he is too thin; To say that he is human does not look like a human at all; You want to say that he looks like an elf, but he doesn't have the height of an elf...... It was as if the child had taken all the advantages from all the bloodlines and the disadvantages to the back of his mind. The old bishop said this, glancing at the woman standing there: "Lady Samar, don't stand, I know that you would like to ask for this marriage for your child, but fate has already arranged everything for Matilda, everyone can rebel against fate, but also get used to accepting fate's arrangement." ”

"No, I don't care that Matilda chose Marin, I just think ...... If Marin did not have Marin, would Matilda have escaped from pursuit, the child seemed to be grieving, she seemed to be lamenting, thinking that she had been abandoned, that she was far away from us, that she was afraid of facing danger. There was some hesitation on the lady's face: "Even if she goes to Marin, she doesn't want us to help him." ”

"No, Lady Sharmander, Matilda loves everyone in the church more than anyone else, and she can indeed come to me, but by entering the inn with the Warset Armor, we can keep ourselves safe, but what about the apprentices?" The young mentor smiled, "Obviously, we didn't have the two branches of the World Tree like Marin, we couldn't defeat that armor, and maybe even because of it, we couldn't even protect the apprentices......"

This explanation finally made the woman's face feel a little less sad, and she sighed: "But because of this, I am even more reluctant to be taken away by Marin Matilda, such a good child has to be given up like this." ”

"Fate, my Lady of Saman, you still haven't understood that everyone's life is set from the beginning, whether you think you are rebelling against it or not, you are in the control of fate." The old bishop said with a smile.

And the young mentor opposite him took out a bottle of wine from under the table: "Everyone accepts or rebels against fate, but they don't understand that this is also a manifestation of fate, you rebel against fate, and it's just a different way of living, or better, or worse, but you don't know anything about it, you naively think that you rebel against fate, but you don't think that what you rebel against is just one of the lives that fate has predetermined for you." ”

"So, do you mean that we should not resist in the face of the oppression of fate?" Women are a little angry.

"Lady Samar, you stand here in order to rebel against the marriage that your fate has imposed on you; I sit here also because I rebelled against the path that my fate had set for me. At this point, the old bishop pointed to the young man who was pouring wine: "And our Son, who is pouring wine for himself, is rebelling against his fate, which is about to be sacrificed. ”

The woman looked at the old man with some confusion: "Your Excellency, ...... Bishop"

"Shamanra, you remember, Matilda, like us, rebelled against the path that fate imposed on us, so we did not succumb to fate, but because of this, we rallied under the banner of the Lord of Justice, and it was also because of fate, we rebelled against fate, and that is why fate brought us together."

"Madam, what Your Excellency means is that our rebellion against fate is actually an expression of fate, fate likes to manipulate human beings, and also likes those who resist him with weapons, because no matter what, every life is on the track of his own life, either against the grain or submissive." After saying that, the young man poured her a glass of wine for her: "Madam, come and have a drink." ”

“…… Thank you. Eventually, the lady reached out and took the cup.

"To my lord." The old bishop raised his glass.

"Respect for freedom." The young man raised his glass.

"Fight." Madame raised her glass as well.

………………

Walking in the night, Marin looked at Matilda, who was walking ahead, and he could feel her mood...... The big girl with fox ears walked in front of Marin in a native language that she didn't understand, and it seemed that you couldn't understand her mood, but from her happy flicking tail, Marin could understand her happiness.

"Matilda." Marin spoke.

"Hmm." The big-eared fox turned around and looked at him with a curious look.

"Remember the first time we met?" Marin asked, looking at the big-eared fox in front of him.

"Remember, we killed a family of Chaos, and you also purified the poor daughter of the Briss family." Matilda said this, and her answer reminded Marin of those days: "I...... I never thought I would be so popular. ”

"Because you are strong enough, in this world, it is useless to be good-looking or cute, the transcendent may be like a cute or beautiful opposite sex as his or her lover, but the one who can have a child with him or her will only be another strong person, because mortals cannot bear the bloodline of the transcendent, so these things are about the bloodline, and it is not about the bloodline." Matilta said this and pointed to Marin: "In my eyes, you are the best, strong, and handsome. ”

Seriously, Marlin's ears have been callousing when he hears the word cute lately, and this is the first time he's heard the word handsome from a girl's mouth.

This touched Marin so much that he couldn't wait to laugh a little: "Thank you." ”

"Although I thank you, Mr. Marin, for coming to me, ...... I have a small request, I want to have a baby with you, I can not stand behind you, I don't even usually appear in front of you, I just want to have a strong child, give birth to him, and then regain my strength. The big-eared fox looked at Marin and said in a very determined tone, "Is it okay?" ”

"Why?" Marlin was a little curious.

"When I was first pursued, I couldn't even protect myself, and the Mentor tried desperately to save me, but she was knocked down by the twisted armor, and I learned for the first time the power of power...... I want my power back, Mr. Marin, please. ”

"I don't agree." Marin shook his head.

"Then why did you come to me, obviously such conditions are very generous, I will not appear in your life, I will not let my existence become a trouble, I only need children, and then become a paladin again, I want to protect others and myself, I don't want to become someone else's object or prey." Matilda looked at Marin: "Aren't you satisfied?" ”

"I was taught that I couldn't do that, and I was always told that everyone is a bridge to happiness for each other...... Can we serve as a bridge for each other? Marin asked, looking at the big-eared fox in front of him.

Matilda was silent for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "You have a lot of bridges, not bad for me, right?" ”

"Maybe my bridge is eight lanes on both sides." After Marin finished speaking, he didn't care about the resistance of the big-eared fox and picked her up.

"You're kidnapping! I'm going to call the police! The big-eared fox screamed as he looked at Mr. Officer, who was not far away.

Marin smiled at Mr. Officer.

The latter smiled too, not taking it all seriously at all.

In his eyes, if a little couple quarrels, he doesn't need to do bad things with good intentions.
