Chapter 17: The Past Always Exists
“......”
Surprised by Reydia's thoughts, Oreo quickly shook his head.
"The reason it stopped here was simply because it couldn't find the dragon, it's possible that the dragon was dead, but more likely it had left Turin."
"That's it, but I can't explain it to Your Majesty for this reason alone."
Rhodia muttered as he circled around the office twice before stopping.
As he slowly bent over, Oreo's face became more and more strange.
Damn, he's not going to be able to pick up a dragon scale!
Sure enough, Rhodia picked something up from the ground, and he lifted it up and put it in front of Oreo's eyes, stunned.
"How do you explain this?"
"I ......"
There is a mountain of evidence against that thing, and it is simply impossible to argue.
Raidia was furious.
"Oreo, you're lying to me!"
"Uh......"
Oreo took a half-step back, he would normally seek refuge in Reka at this time, but now that Reka was back farther than him, he had to bite the bullet.
"Your Highness Redia, this is Artifa's thing."
"Atifa?"
Redia frowned, "Why don't you put away Atifa's underwear properly!" ”
"I know there's a bit of a perversion of the idea,"
Oreo swallowed, "But missing is a wonderful thing, and sometimes I can't help but miss Atifa, and I smell her underwear...... If you're not convinced, you can look at the lace-up on the back of your underwear, which proves that it's been around for some years. ”
Rhodia felt the underwear in her hand get hot, and he quickly threw the thing into Oreo's arms.
"Your Majesty will definitely not believe the dragon, I think we will have to go to the north to die soon."
"Huh,"
Oreo scoffed, "After all, you have to see dragons in life and corpses in death." ”
"Probably so."
Rhodia nodded, striding out of the office.
It wasn't until he left that Reka felt the air in the office sweeten again, but his legs were still shivering.
He glanced in the direction of the gate.
"That's the same thing...... Your friend? ”
"It used to be."
Oreo tugged at the money bag on his desk and pulled it into his arms, the bag of gold almost overwhelmed him, but it was a very happy feeling.
He gasped.
"Reka, for the sake of my fortune today, I have decided to treat you to a big dinner at noon."
Reka licked the corners of her mouth.
"It doesn't matter if the meal is big or not, it's just that what kind of elf is that, can you bring me one too?"
"Hmmm......"
Oreo hesitated, "For the sake of our good friends, I can sell it to you at a twenty percent discount." ”
"Eight-fold?"
Reka, who counted the numbers, wrenched her fingers for a few moments, and then said in shock.
"That's not going to cost 4,000 gold coins! It's such a broken jar! ”
"That's not a broken jar, it's a container for capturing the Elkasu elves, of course this glass jar is not expensive, what is expensive is the magic seal at the mouth of the bottle." Oreo pulled open the drawer and looked at it, "And that was the last Elkasu just now." ”
Reka glanced over and the drawer was empty.
Retracting his head, he said in confusion.
"Where did you get that?"
Oreo struggled to put the bag of gold in a drawer.
"Most of the magicians are in the East Ikra Empire, and I can show you the way if you want to go."
"I still don't want it."
Reka got closer and closer, "My friend, you have gained another five thousand gold coins today, do you already have tens of thousands of deposits?" ”
"There's a fart,"
Oreo glanced at the chair under Reka's buttocks, which was what he was going to buy next, "There have been no cases in the last month, where did I get the money." ”
Reka said bitterly.
"Then you have to work hard, you must know that the celebration is almost over."
Oreo rolled his eyes, he wanted to kick his mother-in-law's Reka out of the office.
"Sheriff Reka, if you talk about this again, I won't invite you to dinner at noon."
"Hey, I don't understand what you're thinking,"
Reka finally complained, "But where are you going to invite me to dinner at noon, it's not easy to eat your meal." ”
Oreo counted out ten gold coins and put them in his pocket.
"Within ten gold coins, you can choose."
Reka rolled her eyes and said quickly.
"There's a restaurant on Sixth Street that's famous."
Oreo waved his hand.
"It's too far, Sheriff Reka."
Reka said firmly.
"I'm here on horseback!"
......
"Reka, I knew it was so."
Oreo said helplessly.
Knowing that there was nothing good about coming to Sixth Street, Recca chose a shop close to La Scala, which happened to be the venue for Angelille's second round of competition.
It's midday, and the restaurant is packed.
Just as Oreo was glad that there was no place, Reka shouted in the distance.
"Here, come, sit!"
Oreo walked over with a dark face, the table for four had obviously been booked by Reka, presumably this was the real purpose of his visit at noon.
"Are we too late?" Reka raised her hand to look at her watch, "No, Angelil should be visible at this time." ”
Oreo sat down on Reka's side, his legs cocked and his eyes vacant.
"Angelil arranged this meal?"
"Of course not, how could that girl be so bold."
Reka said smugly, "If you want me to say, it's not easy to arrange for you two to have a meal. ”
"Reka, Angelelle is a good girl, but I don't like her at all." Oreo decided to have a showdown, "If I had to say that there was any special emotion, I would treat her as a sister at most, and it was for Atifa's sake." ”
Reka was stunned, his face pulling back.
"But Atifa has been gone for three years, and in three years, even if it is used up, even if it is at the end of the continent, she should return to Turin."
“......”
Oreo fell silent, and after a while, he spoke quietly.
"You're right, if you live, you should go to Turin."
Reka waved her hand guiltily.
"My friend...... I don't mean that, I mean you should let go of that past, you can't always live in memories, right? ”
"But the past is always there."
Oreo muttered to himself, then looked up.
"Reka, I know what you mean, but I don't need a woman lately, do you know what I mean?"
"But didn't you notice that Angelil likes you very much?"
Reka gestured, "She has stars in her eyes when she looks at you, how much she likes it to be like that." ”
"Huh,"
Oreo laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's just curiosity." ”
