Chapter 30: Charming Melancholy
"This is so bizarre!"
The head not far away screamed again.
Oreo temporarily lifted Eric's restrictions to upgrade his physical relationship, which caused the chatter to be chattering all the time.
"Really, Is His Majesty Atifa really your wife? Oh my God, you can only be considered mediocre even in the countryside of Yesir, and how many eyes does His Majesty Atifa have to be blind to see you? ”
"Eric."
Oreo stopped what he was doing for the first time, tilting his head to meet Eric's head.
"Have you ever been in a relationship?"
"Uh......"
The question seemed to stump Eric, and he pondered for a moment, "Of course, I was a famous beautiful man in Yesel back then, and the priests in the temple of Tutan were obsessed with me, and they always said that I had a charming melancholy when I bowed my head and pondered, so whenever I picked up the teachings, you have no idea what it was like." ”
Oreo didn't see in the head what Eric was talking about the charming melancholy, he turned his head and went on with what he was doing.
It's been two days since they came to the east, and the Venadas have been attacking South Gomont every day, but they can't do anything about the dragonized Gaia, so the battle is quite stable.
Tofilia's blessing, there is still some of the Venada steel she sent last time, and Oreo intends to use this precious time to upgrade Eric to his body, which is one of the few things he can do for Artifa.
Venada steel was scarce, so he had to spend more energy trying to figure out the patterns of the magic inscriptions, and he hadn't had a break for the past two days, but fortunately he didn't need to rest.
After a moment of silence, Eric became noisy again.
"Actually, I'm lying to you, I haven't been in the Tutan Temple at all, I've been serving in the Golden Army, and I was the commander of the Nine Star Army before I died. At that time, my favorite thing to do was to invite the priest of the beautiful girl to come to the barracks to teach the teachings, and all the fools under my command actually believed that the god Tutan really existed, and only I would go to see the calves under the priests' robes......"
Eric fell into a reverie, staring straight at the ceiling, saliva gushing from the corners of his mouth.
Oreo finished the inscription on his arm, and he stuffed two pieces of Venada steel into the melter, stretching his bones in place while the melter was working.
"So you're married, aren't you?"
Eric stopped his tirade with a shocked expression.
"How do you know?"
Oreo tapped the machine with the taper.
"Because only a middle-aged greasy old uncle who has been married will go to see the calves of beautiful girls."
He paused, "You must love your wife very much." ”
"Of course, I was seriously injured at that time, and if I hadn't thought about accompanying her, I wouldn't have become a Vinada Steel Spirit, do you know how painful it is to engrave your soul on Venada Steel."
Feeling that the topic was gradually drifting away, Eric hurriedly stopped.
"Why do you ask this? Do you have any relationship problems to consult with me, this is no problem, but the condition is that you must not attach a ban to me, the happiness index of Vinada Steel Spirit is already very low, and you can no longer deprive me of the right to speak freely. ”
The Venada steel had been smelted, and Oreo took a spoonful and poured it over the steel bone.
"Is your wife pretty?"
"Of course ......"
Eric opened his mouth wide, "It's not pretty, but she's kind, very caring, and the food is delicious." ”
"There are still shining points in everything, right, otherwise the nine-star commander of the Golden Army would not have taken a fancy to her, what did she do."
"Hotel waiter...... What does this do, you ask? ”
Oreo said intently, intently inscribed the lines.
"Just ask how you met, and haven't you been making fun of the relationship between Atifa and me, I think I should have a shining point in me, otherwise His Majesty Atifa wouldn't like me as an ordinary man, right?"
“......”
Eric opened his mouth wide, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In the distance, Oreo is crackling and carving steel bones, and although he is reluctant to admit it, there is really a bit of what he calls "charming melancholy" on his side face.
As the night deepened, the wind swept in from under the curtains, and Oreo's black clothes rolled in the wind.
"You said your wife was very nice, so did you quarrel with her?"
Eric felt it was time to play the role of an emotional mentor, and he exclaimed.
"Of course there have been quarrels, how can husband and wife not quarrel."
Oreo said quietly.
"I've never had a fight with Artifa."
"It can't be, unless you don't love each other at all."
Eric rolled his eyes and quickly added, "Of course, it is not ruled out that there really is a special existence like you in the world. ”
Oreo sighed.
"Maybe she didn't love her so much, maybe she was just grateful that I helped her in her most difficult time. That woman actually knew everything, but she kept pretending not to understand anything and listened to me at length. Well, now that she's the emperor, she doesn't want to listen to me talk at length, I should have thought of that a long time ago......"
Eric asked tentatively.
"So you're angry right now?"
Oreo took a deep breath and shook his head decisively.
"That's not true, in fact, I'm just looking for something to talk about, which can alleviate some of the guilt in my heart."
Thinking about something terrible, Eric became nervous.
"What are you feeling guilty about, should you ......?"
"You guessed it."
Oreo raised an arm, and there were only three fingers at the end, which was a normal deviation in the calculation, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing should cut corners in other parts, but Oreo short-circuited his head for a while, and actually put something as important as his finger at the end.
“......”
Eric's expression was brilliant, alternating sharply between anger and frustration, but without saying a word, like the pinnacle of a mime master.
He finally squeezed out a smile.
"It's okay, I'm Vinada Steelling, it's okay to have one more or less."
"Oh......"
Oreo suddenly realized, "It's okay to have one more or less, I'll make up your fingers." ”
"Didn't you run out of Vinada steel?"
Eric reacted suddenly, he yelled.
"What do you want to do?"
"Fill your finger with something you don't want."
As soon as he said it, Oreo directly fused the thing with a spell and threw it into the melting machine.
"No!"
Eric let out a heart-rending roar, like he had lost something important.
Oreo slipped the spoon into the melter and said nonchalantly.
"Missing half of your rib does affect your balance, but I think you'll get used to it."
