Chapter 174: Listen to Hyndien's story
I met this Finana's adoptive father ten months ago. Hedion was as serious as ever. It's just that it seems that because I have just met my daughter who has raised her for more than ten years, I have an ugly smile on my face.
Zhao Nan felt that this smile was actually very good-looking.
"Should I call you Lord of the City, Lord Viscount, or the Chosen One."
Whether it is the city lord of Tingfeng City, or the viscount title that Zhao Nan has not yet figured out, it seems that it should not be something that the aborigines of Dongyuan City can know. But Hyndien knew. This kind of expression, which he knew on the day, really made Zhao Nan feel immature when facing him.
"My name is Zhao Nan, and the theory is that it should be your son-in-law."
Hedion smiled anyway, and it was even more ugly than before. Zhao Nan felt that it was not easy for the Creator to be able to create such a face that was not suitable for smiling, and he felt that for the sake of Finina, it was necessary to remind the advanced envoy a little, "I heard that Chang Xiao can relax the muscles of the face. β
Hedion shook his head undeniably, the advanced room was empty, only he and Zhao Nan, "Obviously, you shouldn't have asked me to give you an advance this time...... So what is the so-called thing? β
"What did Finina tell you about these days?"
"Having said that, you're in luck."
"I'll tell you something else."
ββ¦β¦ Hold on. β
Without hesitation, Hedion took out a small wooden sign from one corner - Do Not Disturb.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhao Nan was recounting what had happened in the Dust Palace that day, and his flat tone made Hedion feel like a bystander, from the change of Finina, to the appearance of Count Rose, the verbal conversation between them, to the later defeat. Zuihou arrived at the mutation in Listening to the Wind City, and then his speculation about demonic energy.
It was in this unwavering tone that Haidion felt as if he had to say something so that the peace would not disappear.
This calm is like the sea level, and no one can see the undercurrent below, ready to set off a terrifying wave. Or a vortex that swallows everything.
The advanced interior has a seat for the advanced envoy to rest, two wooden chairs, and a vermilion square table in between. Zhao Nan saw Hedion sitting on the side, took out a golden cigarette gun from his robe, twisted a little tobacco in his fingers, lit it, took a breath, and spit out, very slowly.
Slowly to Zhao Nan sitting next to him. This chain of actions is not over yet. Zhao Nan knew that the former weapon shop owner was actually thinking about something, and he also needed to recall some things.
After a long time, but after exhaling white smoke for the third time, Hedien whispered, "I really don't like this day coming...... Firina was discovered thirteen years ago when I was traveling near the Night Empire...... At that time, Finana was actually what she is now. β
Thirteen years ago, it was like this, Zhao Nan could hear what this was saying, and couldn't help frowning: "You mean." In all these thirteen years, she has never grown up? β
"Grown up." Hyndien shook his head. It seemed that his words were a little vague, so he carefully started from the beginning: "I was still a bard back then......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ignoring Hedien's serious and hideous face, how to call him a bard with beauty and intelligence, as long as he knew where he found Firina when he went to the Night Empire, it was already a very important piece of information.
The hoarse, deep voice had a wonderful rhythm in the advanced room. It kept echoing, and the magic array used in front of him flickered from time to time, Zhao Nan listened silently, occasionally asking questions, but his brain was spinning rapidly. Through Hyndion's recollections, the first encounter between the bard and his adopted daughter is sketched out in his heart.
Time seemed to go back thirteen years, and one midsummer day, the bard met Finina. Thirteen years ago, she was black-haired and black-eyed. Yujian, it seems that he is in the middle of a battle with someone. The horror of that battle made Hedion even more palpitating. After the battle, Finina's enemies were gone, and Hedion only found Finina, who had become about 5 years old.
"'The Third Empress of the Night Empire, Finana? In the name of Lucifer, I command you to find me a true love and break the curse on me. ......," Hedion sighed and took another hard puff of her cigarette, "and after saying that, she passed out. β
"Lucifer?" Zhao Nan opened his mouth.
Hedion nodded and explained, "Lucifer is indeed the surname of the royal family of the Night Empire. β
Zhao Nan lowered his head, clasped his hands slightly, and said calmly: "This is consistent with Her Royal Highness the princess in Count Rose's mouth." Mr. Hyndien, please continue. β
"At that time, the kingdom was being invaded by the Night Empire, and the two countries were at odds with each other. As a citizen of the kingdom, I met a princess of the Night Empire, and I should have given her to the kingdom. But I could not bear to send such a cursed little girl to the kingdom to be tortured. Although I know that she will get smaller, it is most likely because of Liliang's overconsumption...... But I still can't bear it. β
Zhao Nan inhaled hard, and although the air became a little cloudy, he let go of his hand and said sincerely, "Xiexie." β
Hedion shook her head and said, "Later, Fenina woke up and lost all her memories of the past, but she was a little girl with a short temperament. She still seems to retain a certain degree of liliang, and if she is not careful, she can cause great damage. There have been times when I have been tempted to hand her over to the kingdom. But this situation didn't last long, and one day, I noticed that her hair suddenly turned blonde, and her temperament changed drastically, and she completely changed into a different person. I watched her for ten years and watched her grow little by little......"
Hedion laughed to himself, "I'm still unmarried, but I have an extra daughter." β
"Where does this personality come from?"
"It could be that she has two souls, or that she has a personality that only appears after her amnesia, or that she has changed herself...... Who knows. "I watched her grow up, watched her become withdrawn because of the curse she was rejected by children of the same age, watched her cry alone, and then I had a very strong urge in my heart to help her unravel this curse...... But I'm also afraid that after the curse is lifted, the black princess will reappear. β
He looked at Zhao Nan and said cautiously: "The Ancient Arcanist and the Sky Sword Saint are both the inheritance of the 'Six Heroes' who once saved the kingdom. I asked the current Finana to inherit the Liliang of the Sky Sword Saint, because I wanted to use the spirit of the Sky Sword Saint to suppress the Liliang of the black princess with the spirit of all-encompassing and suddenly clear the sky. But this doesn't seem to be safe, the royal family of the Night Empire is a real demon race, with endless liliang. So I'm handing over the legacy of the Ancient Arcanist to you. β
Zhao Nan's heart trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You want to ......"
"That's the worst...... Hedien lowered his head, put the cigarette gun in his mouth, and inhaled hard, but found that the tobacco had already burned out, and said with a wry smile: "After all, I also love this kingdom deeply......"
"But I don't love it." Zhao Nan stood up, expressionless, "...... zaijianγ β
The Progresser lowered his head feebly and listened to the sound of the door being opened, and then a wooden plank was casually still on the ground, clanging.
The next moment, a mage player poked his head out and looked in, "Advanced, that person just now said that you have finished resting, can you advance now?" β
Hedien was stunned when he saw that it was still on the ground, which he had hung up not long ago, and laughed at himself, "I don't even have time to sigh...... What a guy who can't be relieved. β
"Advanced Envoy?" The player asks tentatively again, and he seems to hear something, but he can't hear it clearly.
"Come in." Hedion stood up: "This time the advanced cost is doubled. β
"it!!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After leaving Hedion's room for a while, before meeting Finana, Zhao Nan rubbed his face vigorously, and stood in front of the window in the corridor of the mage hall for a while, making his facial expression as natural as possible. Fortunately, because of that half-section of the mask, Zhao Nan didn't have to mind how his eyes were.
He wiped the palms of his hands that were already a little wet on his clothes again.
How to get in, you must let yourself out.
When he met Finina, she was probably still thinking about whether the person she loved and her father got along well.
"Mr. Hyndien is still so serious." Zhao Nan opened his mouth and complained.
He had been complaining like this in front of Finana all the time.
"That's because your father values you." Finina will also say her own impression of this father.
"Alright. Our new home has also been purchased. Zhao Nan stretched out his hand, teased the little flower fairy on Fei Nina's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Maybe we need to buy some more high-grade flowers to plant, otherwise this little guy will starve." β
"I know of a place that sells good seeds."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When the two of them were carrying a bag of flower seeds back to the newly purchased yard, Zhao Nan heard the news that some players were talking about the fact that all the members of the 'Wolf Tooth' Guild were arrested by the patrol team of Dongyuan City on suspicion of a murder in the wild.
Just thinking about Ximenyu, it seems that there is some fuss, should he find a time to go over and meet in person.
The city lord of Dongyuan City was already sitting leisurely in his new home. Xiongyou and Yanan have already purchased furniture and are cramped to accompany them. (To be continued......)
