"I've read a lot of magic-related texts these days, and I've asked Aphaya about the life vow you made to him." Hua Shao ignored the mercenary's refusal to talk, she looked at her finger and said, "With the goddess who maintains the vitality of this continent as the witness, with the creator god who created this world as the overseer, and with the life oath made by the soul...... Once violated, you will be punished by the rules of the world. Whatever the reason, even if the object of the oath takes the initiative, if it is violated, it will be punished by the oath brand on the soul. And if you agree to transfer that oath to me, the rules of the world will determine that you are evading your oath responsibility. ”

The mercenary still didn't speak, nor did she look at Hua Shao, she picked up a plush doll on the bed, which seemed to make her feel at ease.

"I told Appaya the whole thing about the oath, and I think he needs to know." Reins looked at her, and she continued, "I know I'm up for it, but I'm not going to apologize for it, he needs to know." ”

Leynes just looked at Hua Shao, but still didn't speak, and it seemed that she didn't know what to say.

And then ...... I'm sorry, but I still learned some information from those fragments about you and Apaya being symbiotic spirits. Hua Shao coughed lightly, "But I haven't told Apaya about this yet, because the information I can get from the texts is not complete.

The room fell silent, and after a few moments there was a soft sigh.

“…… What did you learn? ”

"Each person's soul core has a different shape, and some shapes are close to fit, they will attract each other, and as the attraction deepens, the shape of the core will change, and the change will be more suitable for each other's soul." Her words began to hesitate, "What if...... If there are two souls with a compatibility of more than 90%, then they will be recognized as 'symbiotic' souls by the rules of the world. The owners of such two souls will be attracted to each other from the first time they meet, and most symbiotes will be married—unless one of them already has a partner of their own, or there is a hindrance between them...... I don't particularly understand that. ”

She looked at Reins uncertainly, and Reins was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll explain this to you later, do you know anything else?" ”

"Hmm...... All souls who have been with each other for a long time will separate their soul breath to communicate with each other's souls, which is the same for both parties. She picked up her glass and continued to reminisce, "So, if there is an emotional divergence between the two parties, the one who diverges first will take back his breath, and it will cause a tearing pain to the soul of the other party...... This is my guess, and I wonder if Apaya, when he asks you to transfer your vows, is it recognized by the rules of the world as a departure from him, and then hurts your soul? ”

Hua Shao didn't dare to look at Rhine, she knew that this sentence was suspicious of tearing open the wound again. She didn't feel any movement on the other side, and after a few minutes, Reins curled up on the bed with the doll in her arms.

"I'm amazed at how much information you can get out of the book." "I think I've underestimated your wisdom — and after I've proven it so many times, your wisdom can still surprise me again." ”

Reins stroked the doll's ear, a white doll dog, as if wondering how to explain the things.

"About this last guess of yours...... That's right. But this may not be clearly understood for those of you who do not believe in the Goddess. I'll give you an example, as far as I know, you've known an engineer for more than a decade, so if one day you part ways because of something and never talk to each other again, and you even meet each other with hatred, will it make you feel sad? Rheins looked at the cup intently, "This feeling is a tearing sensation in the soul." It has nothing to do with whether you really believe in the Goddess or not, it is really happening there, but you just see it as an emotional change, and of course, there is nothing wrong with understanding it. And because I believe in the goddess, I can feel this tear more clearly. ”

Hua Shao listened quietly to her explanation, and at the same time thought seriously in his head. And Reins continued the conversation.

"About your previous question...... Yes, as far as I know, in symbiosis, most of them, except for those who have already had a partner, will form a partner, which may have been called a soul mate by some people. But the reason why this can be affected by the fact that the symbiote is not born with a perfect fit, no matter how compatible his soul is. However, it is possible to have a partner. ”

Reins smiled, as if confirming something.

"There is such a couple among the Phillips...... As you can see, as the attraction deepens, the core gradually changes into a shape that is more in tune with the other person. "Of course, this does not affect the friends with whom you already have a close relationship, because at that time they already have a breath interaction, and at this time the slight change in the shape of the core can no longer affect these - the change between partners will eventually become a perfect fit with each other." But this condition is also very harsh, and feelings, trust, and time will all become influencing factors. ”

Hua Shao's expression showed that she was thinking hard.

"And what do you mean by the obstacles between them?"

Reins lowered her eyes.

"It's a bit boring to simply say that the theory is boring, so let me continue with examples...... There's a symbiosis between me and him, you know that. But he likes you, which would have had an impact on the interaction between us, and would have made our interaction more like a simple exchange of information on the breath, rather than a blend of breath and a change in the core - generally only lovers who are attracted to each other will produce a 'blend' of breath. At this time, the feeling that he likes you is the 'hindering' factor. Hua Shao's expression was slightly embarrassed, but Reins didn't care, "But I think you can also notice that his core has changed a little...... This will manifest itself through his actions, words, and even character. ”

Hua Shao nodded unconsciously, since the first time Apaya and Rhines crossed paths, she felt that Aphaya was changing day by day - this was what made her think that Rhines was special to Apaya.

"I didn't know why, but I knew it when I saw Huck Wright standing next to you three days ago." Reins looked at Hua Shao, and the latter's smile seemed a little bitter, "The bond between you and Wright is too strong - even if there is something between you that prevents your core from continuing to change, it will not be permanent. When that thing disappears, your relationship will begin to develop, and it is unknown whether the fit will increase or decrease. Therefore, the rules of the world temporarily determine that you will not become an obstacle. ”

"Me and Lord Huck, he ......" Hua Shao looked away, and finally decided not to talk about himself, "But this thing you are talking about, if you exclude the rules of the world and the soul factor, it can actually be understood differently, isn't it?" ”

"What are you trying to say?"

"According to you, there seems to be a sense of manipulation of human feelings." Hua Shao said slightly apologetically, "I'm not accusing, it's just that, according to what we say, this matter can be understood in this way - you and Apaya's own characteristics attract each other, and because I am not the person he really likes, what he wants is you, so he will change." ”

Reins rested her chin on the dolldog's head and looked up at Hua Shao, who felt that the mercenary was so cute at the moment that she even wanted to touch the other's head - but she held back.

"You're more romantic, aren't you?" Reins tilted her head, "But in reality, the principle is the same...... The thoughts that the soul gives us belong to our own subjective thoughts. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to convince Appaya." Hua Shao laughed, "If you let him know these things, he will definitely insist that it is his own idea and has nothing to do with the rules of the world." ”

"If he can accept it. I don't think he'll easily accept the assumption that he doesn't like you. ”

"Oh...... I also had a headache about this problem for a while. Hua Shao frowned in annoyance, "Because of what happened to me with Lord Huck in the past...... Something that made him have some opinions about Lord Huck, which made him think he liked me. But this is just a concern between friends, and he doesn't distinguish this now. ”

"But you're not him, you can't be sure of that." Reins straightened up, "Even if it's sure, what?" ”

"I'm not him, but the facts prove to me that he really cares about you." Hua Shao said softly but firmly, "Even in the face of me, he is still stubborn to the point of being angry about many things, and nothing will change. However, even if he insists on nothing wrong with you, he is even willing to apologize in order to make you happy - when he first came to me, I was even worried that he had been spelled by something. ”

Reins opened her mouth to say something, but she pursed it again. Hua Shao continued.

"As for what if it's confirmed...... I don't want him to delay himself because of such a misunderstanding, whether he can win your affection in the end or not, he should clearly realize what true liking is. ”

The room fell silent for a moment, before it was broken by Hua Shao.

"I wonder if you're going to tell Apaya about this? You know, I mean I want to tell him everything. "But I'm not sure if that will upset you, and I don't want it to be like this." ”

The woman's warmth made Rhines move a little uncomfortably, she didn't know how to deal with this person who was really her own relative in terms of blood, she could only choose to ignore it.

"If you don't want to waste your saliva, tell him." Reins pursed her lips, "I'm not the type to hide in my heart when I've done something good or been hurt - actually, I'd rather you tell him that." And after that, you'd better not expect anything. When he knew the fact that he was induced by the rules of the soul and the world to associate with me, he would have thought that he had been deceived. ”

Reins smirked and continued, "He was willing to apologize to me only because he wanted to escape events that would make him repeat the shadow of death. And your actions are also suspicious of getting rid of an unnecessary admirer—"

"Even though I threatened him to cut off all his research conditions without apologizing to me or the rest of his peers, he wouldn't bow his head." Hua Shao interrupted her with a smile, "Of course, I think you can find more words to refute me, so I'm not going to continue on this issue." As for you saying that you get rid of an unnecessary admirer...... So as my younger sister, shouldn't you help my sister solve her difficulties? ”

Reins rolled her eyes and put the doll back on the bed, got up and walked out of the room. Hua Shao chuckled and followed back to the living room.
