Chapter 287: Tavern Chatter (I)

In everything related to Herman, Von Rond has always maintained a lot of curiosity - not only to verify whether he is the first immortal king of the Teutonic Empire that Caroline said, but also the life and combat experience that Herman remembers when he was a wandering knight is enough to benefit Von Longde, who is now in urgent need of strengthening his personal strength.

Last time before leaving the salon of the Red Devil Pavilion, Remilia used "Time Travel" Let him see Herman's memory for the third time, the most obvious and practical gain is Herman's skill in using the spear in that knightly competition, which is a fairly timely supplementary teaching for Feng Longde, who has been a fairly simple horse combat skill so far, if it weren't for the fact that he spent most of the month practicing the two dragon roars of fire breath and elemental rage, maybe his horse combat skills are stronger than the original.

"Herman's words" After plucking his tongue for a while, Feng Longde slowly asked, "What else did you see? Are they other memories of his time as a wandering knight? Or do you see memories of him when he was an immortal king?"

"No, I didn't see anything, or I didn't even peek into Herman's past. Remilia shook her head, playing with the fork in her hand, as if she was spinning some precious gadget, "I peep too far back in time or too specific in the past of others, which will greatly consume my strength and spirit, so in this half month, I basically slept the week before, but if you peek at all your past from birth to the present, it will not consume much strength and energy, so I will go through your life for eighteen years so far in the next week." ”

"My life?" Feng Longde sneered involuntarily, "There really wasn't anything to say about my life before I came to Gensokyo, it was nothing more than the decadent life of a senior fat uncle in the outside world. Is it really that interesting for a Kindred who has lived through five hundred years of life to watch the daily life of a self-defeating Diaosi?"

"It may seem to you that your life before you came to Gensokyo was boring, but for me, who has been disconnected from the outside world for more than 70 years, observing the overall situation and life of the outside world through the perspective of an ordinary human being is definitely quite interesting and cannot be lost in a short period of time. Remilia shook her head slowly. The fork that had been spinning in her hand stopped and placed it on the plate in front of her, "Also, I can get a full picture of what you are like through your life, and I find it really interesting to find a guy with a personality like you from all the past I can peek into so far, and I am happy to talk to you about many things." ”

"Then let the honorable Count of Burzenland of Romania judge me as a person. Feng Longde put down his glass, holding his arms as if he were in the middle of a negotiation, and it was difficult to tell if he was seriously asking questions or mocking or teasing Remilia from her first name. "Personally, I'm curious to see what other people would say about my past and the so-called Herman's past, and what they would say about me, a strange thing that only appears in the mouth of a teenager who knows how many years it takes. ”

"You're lonely, and the emotional changes are quite rare, or rather simple. Remilia didn't seem to think what Feng Longde meant by her name, and said lightly: "Let's talk about your emotional side firstβ€”as 'Feng Longde', you are much more human and angry than you were when you were 'Herman'." However, whether it is Herman, who is always a poker face, or Feng Longde, who is usually very strict and rigid, but is very easy-going in private. They are all the same person, and even their personalities are exactly the same. ”

"The description of me and Herman is quite delicate. But I don't think I'm exactly the same as that wandering knight, at most I have more in common. Feng Longde shook his head firmly, "If nothing else, I don't think that Herman guy can sometimes be as funny as schizophrenia like me, and all my current memories of him are almost expressionless, as if I laughed once." As a result, my smile is even more ugly than my smile."

"That's right, haha" Remilia chuckled out a low voice, recalling the first time she used Time Rewind to see Herman's smile at his subordinate Orling, "but you're not bad now." In the past I have seen, you will have a similar smile when you are still completely living in the outside world and stay with your friends, but after you enter Gensokyo, you rarely smile, and only when you take the time to return to the outside world, can you occasionally see your smile on your face, although it is easy to collapse, but it is really heartfelt. ”

"Looks like you're pretty clear about the teleportation array. Feng Longde's eyelids twitched slightly, he should have thought that Remilia, with her own unique ability, would definitely know everything about herself, "Then you should also be very aware of the agreement between me and Yakumo Murasaki's interstitial youkai, right? No matter what kind of position you are in and what kind of ideas you have, none of us Teutons and Yakumo Purple want too many people to know that the castle on the east side of the Lake of Fog actually has a free passage between Gensokyo and the outside world, and the result of leaking the news is definitely comparable to a mutation." ”

"I'm well aware of this possibility, so until now, your hitherto unfinished 'Teutonic Fortress' has remained peaceful, not a horde of youkai and goblins intending to storm your castle. Remilia held her cheek with one hand, and began to play with the knife again with the other, as if Feng Longde was turning a pencil when he was a student, "I can roughly guess what she wants to do, but due to that guy's style, I can't tell you the details." But you just need to know that Purple has no ill will towards you, and she has no bad intentions, and her inscrutable style of acting is the same for everyone. ”

"That's good, but I always have the illusion that I'm talking to you. It's easy to get off the hook. Feng Longde raised his glass and drank all the Spiatus distilled vodka, the strong alcohol stimulated his rigid face to turn red, like a fire magic crystal, "Forget it, according to what you said, isn't chatting or something just all kinds of gods, but shouldn't we also return to the original topic?"

"You're all the same person about you, or Herman, just like your magician's sister said. At most, there is a difference between whether there are previous memories or not. Remilia glanced at Pacyuri, Red Misuzu, and the little devil who were gathered around her out of curiosity, and even Youmu, who had been trying to stay serious, turned her attention to this, and only Yuyuko, who was busy pouring everything she could eat on the table, and Sakuya, who was always standing behind Remilia ready to serve, did not react.

Again, Herman is not as funny as me, not as weird as me, and not as crazy as me. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, and a clear mocking expression gradually appeared on his stiff face, "At that banquet at Hakurei Shrine. You must have seen what I could do when I was nervous, and for that reason I was turned into the man of Gensokyo by those two Ravengu as the headlines of their respective newspapers at the same time. I've been hiding from the limelight for a long time, and as far as I know Herman so far, I'm not one of his cautious, almost impulsive, and most of the time extremely rational to the point of coldness, and I feel to myself that I can't do it to the extent that he is, no matter how conscious I am. ”

"It's that you think you can't do it, but you actually do it several times without you noticing it. Remilia shook her head and raised her hand in a motion. Behind her, Sakuya then took out a plate of delicate cakes as if by magic, and placed it in front of Remilia, with a special spoon, "Herman's personality is not only a manifestation of true temperament, but also a deep disguise. It is used to hide the small but most important characteristic in his heart, and now you, Feng Longde, the only difference between you and Herman is that you have an extra layer of disguise, and you have one more thing to hide, but it is not a characteristic. ”

"Even if you have seen all of my life experience in the past eighteen years, if you want to evaluate me as a person, do you still hold me a little bigger?" Looking at Remilia, who was eating cake in small gulps after speaking, Feng Longde secretly grinded his teeth, and he didn't know if he was told that he was in his heart or just because he saw something delicious that made his stomach suddenly stir, "But you still talk about it, see if you say it accurately: a person who has lived for at least five hundred years, The blood clan, who witnessed it from the Renaissance to the end of the Second World War, must have a much richer life experience than the prototype of me, a little dragon who is only 18 years old today. ”

In the face of Feng Longde's almost self-deprecating words, Remilia didn't say anything, as if all her attention was focused on the delicate cake in front of her, and Sakura's little mouth was full of snow-white cream, looking with a hint of vague temptation.

Feng Longde was not in a hurry, he poured himself another glass of Spiatus distilled vodka, and drank it slowly, carefully feeling the burning taste of the wine like a restless fire element.

Remilia quickly ate the small portion of the cake, took a napkin from Sakiya's hand and wiped her lips clean, and said word by word, "What you want to hide is your loneliness." ”

"Lonely?" Feng Longde raised his eyebrows, "Am I lonely?" On the contrary, I always felt that there was too much excitement and too many people around me. ”

"You're so good at hiding your true feelings, to the point where you don't even think you're alone. Remilia sighed, "I can feel your loneliness, but only someone who knows the whole of your life experience can find it." ”

"Perhaps, when I was in the outside world, the strange tease of my age, which was a young man with an uncle and a rather straightforward personality, was definitely an outlier among people, and it was half the right to say that I was lonely. Feng Longde spread his hands, he really couldn't think of anything to refute this vampire Lori who had already watched her all her life.

"Zhu Henghong, do you remember the Teutonic soldier who came with you at the salon last time?" Remilia abruptly changed the subject.

"Of course, that guy should be hanging out in some corner of the world right now, and today all the personnel in the Teutonic camp were allowed to rest in shifts. Feng Longde replied.

"He used to be just an ordinary human from the outside world, but he was lucky enough to meet you when he was almost eaten by a youkai. Remilia swiped the index finger of her right hand, "Originally, this almost ant-like guy on the side of the road didn't deserve your attention at all, but you saved him, and stayed in your camp, and even trained him to be your own subordinate, in a sense, half of your friend, after that brutal battle with the disparity, you have to resurrect him with other fallen Teutonic soldiers as half of your kind, and for this you will not hesitate to fight Reimu." Speaking of this, Remilia's expression changed from a faint smile that she had always maintained to a serious and cautious appearance, and her whole temperament was a lot heavier, "Can you tell me why you care about that guy so much?"

After being silent for a while, Feng Longde snorted: "Whatever I say, I will definitely be refuted by you, right? Since you can peep into my past experience anytime and anywhere, then please analyze it, Miss?"

Feng Longde's slightly unkind tone made Sakuya's face turn a little bad, and just as she was about to step forward and say something, Remilia waved her right hand lightly.

After perceiving the meaning of his eldest lady, Sakiya's face changed rapidly a few times, and he had to reluctantly maintain a posture of standing with his hands tied.

"Actually, after analyzing it, the reason why you do it is very simple. Remilia's blood-red eyes stared at Feng Longde's azure eyes, "You just think that Zhu Henghong is your kind of fellow sufferer." (To be continued.) )
