Chapter 166: A Decisive Handshake
Thinking of this, Snow Scar was annoyed and suddenly felt a little relieved, the previous coercion of Hemod had become less terrible after he tore his face.
Originally, considering that he was Qin's father, he still couldn't let go, but now he has no such concerns at all.
Anyway, he doesn't look down on himself, and he cares about his opinion.
"Sorry, please allow me to take off my shirt, it's so hot in here. Snowmark asked for advice on the way the knights spoke, but he was already undressing as he spoke, and he didn't even wait for Hemod to say "Please".
Snow Scar took off the tight suit shirt that bound him, revealing a well-proportioned muscle, not a perfect toned body, but still well-defined. In fact, this is the muscles of the combatant, and they are not overly inflated.
Even more conspicuous are the scars all over his body.
After some torture in the Jerusalem prison, the scars on Xueji's body increased sharply, like a bronze sculpture that had been baptized by the fire of war, and the "man's medal" on this body surprised Hermod a little.
Snow Scar breathed a sigh of relief, it was much better. Sitting in the sauna in full clothes is simply a torture.
Hemod's tone seemed to soften a little:
"Boy, in the village you kept the agreement and protected Kevin, I think you are a man, so I told you so much. That's right, we Northern Austrians admire warriors, but a warrior without family support is destined to not go far. I am also a person who has experienced many wars, I have seen too many warriors die without a place to be buried, and those who are lucky enough to survive can only survive in the cracks of the struggle between various lords, and there is a net called 'social class' in this society, which is an insurmountable ceiling for those at the bottom, and it cannot be broken through with just a single blood. It will also be good for you to see this reality sooner. ”
Admiring good guys is a factor in the culture of the North Olympics, even if Hermod is snobbish, but the appreciation of tough guys still exists, so his perception of snow marks has also changed a little.
Snowmark felt a little sad in his heart, and Hemod's appreciation for the so-called "warriors" turned out to be not simple. Yes, how can it be simple? He is the prince of a country. He only has the throne of supreme power in his eyes.
Growing up in such a family, how could Qin escape the clutches of such power? Her indifference and ruthlessness are normal.
But hearing Hemod's contempt, Xuejin was a little angry: "There is a saying in the East, don't bully young people to be poor!"
The atmosphere was cold.
Hemod's face turned ugly, and he seemed to be deeply disgusted by Snow Marks' ignorance of current affairs.
He stood up and shook the wine in his hand.
"Do you know how much this glass of wine in front of you is worth?"
Snowmark didn't answer.
"This is a glass of wine that a hunter can't get for a lifetime of hunting, and you, you're not qualified to drink this glass of wine at all. ”
Hemod sneered: "In my opinion, you are at most just another young master of the Tass family, do you want to ascend to the sky one step by relying on the qin, give up, it is a virtue to keep to yourself, go back to farm your land and hunt for you!"
Snow Scar looked down at the expensive glass of wine on the table, the bright red elixir as red as blood.
This is already an outright insult.
Snow Scar was angry, but he couldn't do anything, even on this pilgrimage route, his strength was still much stronger than his own. Besides, he is Jean's father after all.
Snowmark didn't want to continue the conversation, he already knew clearly: Hemod was a bad-hearted man, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, he turned his head and walked to the door of the study.
But then, he thought about his purpose again.
So he turned around and held out his hand to Hemod again: "It's a pleasure to meet you, goodbye." ”
But Hemod again ignored his hand: "Sleep well, lad. ”
Snow Scar pursed her lips, there was no way to shake hands with him, so forget it, let's go to Suvia first.
So he walked to the door.
In the few short steps, his mind was full of Jean and her sister Peggy on the boat.
The surrounding scenery seems to have turned into waves.
The soft carpet underfoot, like a slightly undulating deck.
It was as if he saw Jean drop her blood-stained weapon and leap off the side of the ship into the ice.
Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly understood something.
He looked back at Hermod, who sat behind the large, nonchalant desk, like a widow of a small country.
"Is it that incomprehensible?"
"What?" Hemod looked at the snow marks suspiciously.
"You said that Jean chose her country for justice...... I figured it out, you're the one who really doesn't understand," Snowmark looked at Hermod, "is it that incomprehensible?"
"What the hell are you trying to say, stinky boy!" Hemod cracked his glass.
In the midst of his coercion, Snow Mark smiled indifferently:
"Where is there any justice, motherland...... She returned to Beiao because she was just a daughter who wanted to return to her father's side. ”
Time and space seem to have condensed.
Hemod's face changed, his facial muscles twitched a few times, like laughing, like crying, and after a few seconds, he fixed the distorted coldness on his face, and he was furious:
"That's enough! Don't think you know her! You've only known each other for two days! I don't know how you got to Jean and made her trust you, but I'm telling you! It's all in vain! Don't try to influence her! Don't try to take her away! She's still the lord of Bei'ao in the end, the queen of Bei'ao! She will never be able to leave this identity!"
Hemod was like a wounded lion at the moment, roaring at the hunter.
The snow marks were also flustered, and he didn't expect that it was the first time he had seen the majestic and glorious Hemod so out of shape.
Hermod's hysteria made Snow Marks finally understand a lot of things.
His previous humiliation was so blunt, so roundabout, because it wasn't actually from his intention, this was his intention.
Snowmark suddenly felt some sadness in Hemod, who was not as snobbish and ambitious as he appeared.
Snow Scar sighed, "You are her father, and I respect you. I didn't hear your insults, and aside from that, I also knew that Jean and I were really not suitable to be friends, so I ...... Will leave the piano. ”
This time it was Hemodlen's turn. He took a breath, put away his gaffe, and returned to the image of the majestic head of the house, looking at the snow marks cautiously.
Snowmark stepped forward and held out his hand for the third time, this time in the nature of a contract, and Hemod had no reason to refuse.
Hemod finally grimaced, and stretched out his noble hand, which was held with Snowmark's hand.
His hands were soft and smooth, like a woman's hand.
Snow Scar looked at the owl on his shoulder, but the emerald green owl didn't react.
Snowmark breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Hemod's hand as well.
"I hope you keep your word. "Hemod is still gloomy.
"We'll be separated tomorrow, so you don't have to worry too much. "Tomorrow is the day of the great war, and as long as this time the matter is settled, there is no need for Hemod to say, and the snow marks will also leave the piano, because of Pissarro's prophecy.
Pissarro once said that if he and Qin got too close, one of them would die, so in fact, Snow Mark had already made up his mind that after solving his mother's crisis tomorrow, he would be separated from Qin and never get along.
Now that even Hemod said that he had a bad influence on Qin, it was even more necessary and correct to make this decision.
Hemod nodded with satisfaction: "If you come to Beiao again, we will welcome you, in reality......"
Snow Mark was taken aback: "You...... You know?"
Hemod knew that this was a pilgrimage, not reality?
Hemod closed his eyes, as if savoring something: "I feel something different, I feel that there seems to be a wider world beyond this sky...... But ......"
The fire dimmed, and Hemod seemed to be in the dark, and the light of the cigar lit up in the darkness and then faded again.
He shook his head. Don't go on.
"Goodbye. ”
Snow Scar nodded, didn't ask any more, and walked to the door again.
But in his heart, he was shocked, Roland seemed to know that this was not a real space, and Hemod also realized that these people were not ordinary simulated personalities, they had independent personalities, and it seemed that this pilgrimage path was not simple.
And Snow Scar always had a premonition of uneasiness in his heart.
When he was about to push the door out, he suddenly remembered that the owl had shaken his head every time he shook his hand before, why did it not respond this time?
Just as he thought of this, the owl suddenly fluttered on his shoulder, and he looked sideways, and was astonished by what he saw.
I saw that the owl began to change from its talons, as if a black liquid was boiling in its body, and it was going to dye it all black. Just as the black liquid spread to the owl's neck, it suddenly let out a piercing chirp towards the snow marks.
Hemod is a degenerate!
It is unknown why the owl's detection results were a few seconds late. But it still manifested, sending this important message to Snowmark: Hermod is a Fallen!
The owl, which is about to be completely blackened, rises into the sky, its body stretching into a black and green cloud, and it is fighting the darkness!
Until this time, Snow Mark still couldn't believe it, although Hemod was bad-hearted, but after all, he was the head of the Nord family, the prince of Beiao. He couldn't believe he was going to fall.
He looked back at Hemod, who was shifting his gaze from the green paint in his palm to Snowmark's face, a fierce expression on his face. The owl's detection was not wrong, he had fallen, and he apparently knew he was exposed.
The owl is a constant, and only those who also have it can see it, so Jean and Snow Marks can see each other's constants, but no one else on this pilgrimage can see them. That's why Hemod only discovered the anomaly at this time.
"Stinky boy, are you tempting me?"
"You...... How could you fall into the darkness!How could you do that!How could you!?"
Ignoring his anger, Snowmark asked angrily as he retorted, almost naturally.
Compared with the shock, Xue Scar was more regretful in his heart at this time: he is Qin's father, and he is the prince of Beiao! How could such a high-ranking and powerful person be willing to fall!
I once looked at his back and thought: Men should be like this. But now......
If Jean knew that the dark minions she had been looking for, the traitor to her own family, was her own father, the father who had betrayed her mother and wanted to return to him! How disappointed she must be! How could she face this blow to a person who was so jealous and hateful?
The whole study exploded.
The castle shook.
