Chapter Seventy-Five: The Old Man
With the appearance of Eric, the dinner party officially began. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Like when Bellet celebrated her first friendship in Aurora City, the dinner was still a more liberal way, but the ingredients and drinks were more complete, and the tableware was more beautiful.
The guests at the dinner were not very interested in eating and drinking, and were more just looking for someone to chat with with a glass of wine. This kind of dinner is actually to provide an opportunity for the host and guest to communicate, so for Makoto Tatsuno, staying quietly in the corner is the best choice.
Eric expertly walked among the guests, chatting happily about the survival of millions of residents. Who would have thought that such a decision related to millions of people would be made in such small talk.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bellet sighed deeply. His own situation made all the guests have no one to talk to except for a polite hello, and Bellat, who is accustomed to this kind of coldness, fortunately left the crowd and came to the corner to do Tatsuno Makoto's side.
"Aren't you waiting for your fiancée?"
Seeing Bellet silently walking over, Makoto Tatsuno smiled and handed over a glass of wine.
"It's the same here. ”
Bellet smiled and took the glass, but Tatsuno Makoto noticed that Bellet's smile was bitter.
"What's the matter, if you're not satisfied with your fiancée, you can choose to refuse. ”
Belaite found that Makoto Tatsuno tonight was particularly abnormal, far from the usual appearance of ignoring everything. Perhaps the temperature left by Ling Qi on his lips in the afternoon began to melt his long-frozen heart.
"I'm still very happy with Miss Brenda, but where am I worthy of her now. ”
At the mention of Brenda, Berlett's face was filled with a happy smile, only this smile was even more bitter than before.
In the face of such a Bellet, Makoto Tatsuno didn't do much comfort, everyone has their own trajectory, and the trajectory of Bellet is still up to him. Now that he has become a dragon whisperer, he will not be the same again, and perhaps Miss Brenda will question whether she is worthy of being in Bellet when she learns the news.
"Makoto, do you think this situation is reasonable?"
Looking at Makoto Tatsuno's questioning look at his words, Berlet continued: "Should those in power take the welfare of the inhabitants of the Federation as their own responsibility? Like these people, including my father, they only want to expand their power for themselves, and they don't think about the lives of the inhabitants of the Federation at all. ”
"Whether it's an empire or a federation, it is inevitable that power will always be concentrated in the hands of a few. ”
In the face of Bellet's question, Makoto Tatsuno could only give such a vague answer. For Makoto Tatsuno, there is no difference between 10,000 years ago and now, he is just a person who has been lost in countless shuttles, and he has never considered such a thing as the well-being of all people.
While the two of them were chatting, the guests in the banquet hall suddenly became much quieter, and then they saw a crowd surging, and the guests all gathered in one direction.
"Zero Qi is here, aren't you going to invite her to her first dance?"
Bellet looked at Makoto Tatsuno, who had already noticed that Ling Qi appeared but was hesitating, and said with a smile.
Makoto Tatsuno, who muttered, gave a rare embarrassed smile, and then walked over with a smile of encouragement from Bellet.
Instead of being lively and agile in the past, Ling Qi now has a quiet smile on her face, and follows Mrs. Obery slowly through the crowd.
At a glance, you can tell that Ling Qi has been carefully dressed for the dinner. A simple white off-the-shoulder dress with no ornamentation, a simple sapphire accentuated her slender neck, and long jet-black hair draped over her chest, embellished with a small floral hair ornament.
The young people in the guests all had the expression of seeing the goddess, but their eyes were mixed with admiration and yearning for power. Strictly speaking, Ling Qi didn't have a shocking face, what she attracted was that kind of undisguised innocence, but for the young talents among the guests, even if Ling Qi grew into the appearance of an abyss demonic beast, her identity as an Oberi family was enough for them to flock to.
Ling Qi's eyes kept searching among the guests, and finally saw the white-haired figure with a smile on the corner of his mouth at the back of the crowd. After politely dealing with the guests who came up to compliment, Ling Qi walked straight in front of Makoto Tatsuno.
"Are you waiting for me, master? "Zero Qi's knowingly asking look is very cute.
The music was already ringing, and in the center of the ballroom, a couple of men and women had begun to dance to the music. Makoto Tatsuno felt that there were countless eyes staring at him around him, probably waiting for him to be ready to send an invitation to Ling Qi as soon as he left.
Makoto Tatsuno didn't speak, but smiled charmingly at Ling Qi, and after gently saluting, he took Ling Qi's hand and joined the dancing crowd. When the young man waiting around looked at Makoto Tatsuno, the anger in his eyes seemed to tear him to pieces.
Ling Qi, who was pulled into the dance group by Makoto Tatsuno, gently leaned on Makoto Tatsuno's shoulder, feeling the temperature from Makoto Tatsuno's palm around his waist, and his face was filled with a happy smile. The two of them who danced to the music shuttled through the crowd, and at this moment the barrier in Tatsuno's heart was completely loosened, perhaps he had found the meaning of coming to this era.
Looking at the two dancing, the owl and the illusionist smiled without saying a word while holding their wine glasses. It seems that Makoto Tatsuno has not seen such a contract for a long time, and it seems that this subservient contract is very worthwhile.
"I really didn't expect it, master, do you often invite girls to dance? Ling Qi raised her head and asked with a smile in her eyes.
"Actually, it's my first time dancing and I'm nervous right now. ”
Makoto Tatsuno's answer contrasted sharply with his skillful dancing skills, but Ling Qi didn't care about this, even if Makoto Tatsuno lied to her, she was very happy, and what Makoto Tatsuno cared about was how much Makoto Tatsuno valued her.
However, this time Ling Qi did misunderstand Makoto Tatsuno, he really didn't know how to dance, but in the eyes of Makoto Tatsuno, who had no pressure to learn complex martial arts, dancing was just a simple technique, and he could imitate it with a little observation.
The song ended, but the hand holding Ling Qi didn't let go, and it wasn't until Xiao and the illusionist walked to the side with a smile that Tatsuno Makoto realized that it was a bit inappropriate to keep pulling Ling Qi like this.
"My dear little brother, aren't you going to see what your future sister-in-law looks like?"
The illusionist glanced at Makoto Tatsuno, who hadn't let go of his hand yet, and joked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law?" Tatsuno Makoto looked at Xiao with a questioning expression.
"Hehe, it seems that our little brother hasn't figured out the situation yet. Lingqi's brother Belette's fiancée has arrived, and judging from your current situation, it is only a matter of time before you call your sister-in-law. ”
Hearing the illusionist's explanation, Ling Qi's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, and he instinctively wanted to let go of Tatsuno Makoto's hand, but with a little force, he felt Tatsuno Makoto's grip tighter.
"Just look at it. ”
Looking at Makoto Tatsuno's stubborn appearance, Ling Qi almost laughed. How can there be such a person, he doesn't admit it but doesn't let go of his hand, it looks like he wants to find someone desperately, his character is so funny.
"Here you are, and allow me to introduce you to Miss Brenda, my fiancée. ”
Bellet's voice suddenly came, resolving Tatsuno's embarrassment.
"Brenda, this is the first wave of friends in my life that I just told you, Makoto Tatsuno, Xiao, and Illusionist. ”
Belette's voice was filled with excitement, as if she was offering a treasure, and she couldn't wait to introduce these friends to Brenda that he was proud of.
"It's been a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for taking care of Bellet. ”
Brenda's voice is very gentle, giving people a feeling of being extremely easy to get along with. Followed by a figure in a white priest's uniform, he quietly walked from behind Belette to his side, and looked at the few people in front of him with a gentle smile.
"Lotus!"
Ling Qi suddenly felt a tightness in his hand, and the hand that was holding him tightly just now suddenly let go. Somewhat surprised, she glanced up at Makoto Tatsuno, but was greeted by a face distorted by a mixture of anger, sadness, and surprise.
The Brenda in front of her, this Belette's fiancée, this Lingqi's future sister-in-law, and the goddess of the Creator God Cult, she looks exactly like the lotus ten thousand years ago.
At this time, the owl and the illusionist also seemed to have been hit by the lightning spell, and looked blankly at this girl who looked the same as ten thousand years ago. This betrayed Makoto Tatsuno 10,000 times, this made Makoto Tatsuno reincarnate 10,000 times, how could this person who stabbed Makoto Tatsuno 10,000 times appear.
The reincarnation of 10,000 years ago, the unforgettable pain again and again, the fate of blood and fire that I thought I could no longer think about. At this moment, all of them reappeared in Tatsuno's mind, and the wound left on his body by the broken sword ten thousand years ago suddenly began to ache faintly.
"Have we met, sir, and how do you know my name?"
Brenda's voice rang out again, she was sure she had never seen the white-haired man, but it was strange that he had called out his Christian name accurately. What's even stranger is their expressions, why do they look as if they have seen some terrifying monster?
In the face of Brenda's question, Makoto Tatsuno did not react. His face turned pale, and his fists clenched tightly. The owl next to him glanced around the surrounding environment, and if Tatsuno Makoto suddenly broke out now, he had to quickly find a route to leave. The worst-case scenario would be to be wanted by the entire Federation again.
"Master, are you alright?"
Ling Qi's voice suddenly sounded in Tatsuno Makoto's ears, and Tatsuno Makoto, who couldn't focus his eyes because of the emotional impact, turned his head to look at the source of the sound. The blurred vision gradually became clear, and Ling Qi's worried face appeared in Tatsuno Makoto's eyes.
This is the Federation, 10,000 years ago. Everything should have ended the moment she teleported here, and the person in front of her was not Lian, just a person who looked like her. Makoto Tatsuno looked at the owl and the illusionist again, also with two worried faces. Are they all worried about themselves, worried that they will be the same as before?
Tatsuno Makoto looked at all the people, the music sounded again, and Ling Qi seemed to be saying something to himself just now, but he didn't hear it clearly. Makoto Tatsuno suddenly walked straight towards the door and waved his hand at the people who wanted to chase after him.
"I want to be quiet, to be alone, and no one should follow me, and no one should follow me. ”
Ling Qi was not at ease and insisted on following along, but was stopped by Xiao.
"Let him be quiet, there may be trouble with the past. ”
Ling Qi bit her lip until Makoto Tatsuno disappeared at the door before retracting his gaze, turning his head and shouting at the owl, "What the hell is going on!"
Makoto Tatsuno, who had been walking aimlessly, had already left Belette's home, and he couldn't feel everything around him when he was walking on the street, just walked forward quietly.
Is it fate?
Makoto Tatsuno suddenly thought of the girl who had left a warm spot on his lips this afternoon. Will she accompany her against the mainland? Makoto Tatsuno suddenly felt that he was too selfish, and he had to involve so many people to accompany him for something inexplicable. It seems that it is only themselves who are really stuck in fate, so as long as they leave them, it will not bring harm to them.
Thinking of leaving, Makoto Tatsuno's heart suddenly felt a little reluctant. But on second thought, it is only right that owls and illusionists should also have their own lives, and they should enjoy life. There is no need for Lingqi's cute girl to fall into her own trajectory, leaving is the best choice.
Makoto Tatsuno, who made up his mind, silently left the City of the Chosen One, the truth of the Battle of Dawn, the relationship between the seal and his own strength, and his memories before the reincarnation of ten thousand years, all of which should be solved by himself.
In September 216 of the Federal Calendar, Makoto Tatsuno disappeared from the Obery family mansion and never reappeared, and no one knew his whereabouts.
