Chapter 60: The Old Fox
"Hey, are you eavesdropping?" At a distance from Freya, Pannis suddenly hung his head from a Rea pine, dangled upside down from the tree, and said to the man in front of him, "This is not a good habit, President Odin. I really didn't expect you to be so laid-back, and actually have time to be lazy here, and fight pine needles while being lazy. ”
"Mr. Kyle, where you can't even hear it, how can I hear it. The old Odin sat down under a pine tree, and seemed not at all surprised by the sudden appearance of Pannis, and did not even raise his eyelids, but lowered his head and continued to knit some strange ornaments with pine needles: "I am not in the habit of eavesdropping on my daughter's conversation. ”
"How do you know I can't hear it, I hear it very clearly now. Pannis smiled weirdly: "She's saying that my father always bullied me, kicked me out of the house and didn't let me go home, only gave me 50,000 gold coins as pocket money for a few years, and threatened me that I wouldn't be allowed to go home if I couldn't make it ten times over, I was simply the most pitiful daughter in the world." ”
"Oh, although you have changed a lot, the gentlemanly side of your nature has never changed, and it is impossible for you to eavesdrop when it is time to avoid it. Odin shook his head and smiled: "And Freya can't say that, because the bet between me and her is over, she has won, and I have long recognized her ability to be independent, and I no longer have any restrictions on her." Therefore, sometimes intelligence is very important, and it is necessary to update the information at all times in order to grasp the latest information to deceive people. ”
"Tsk, you father and daughter are the same, it's not fun at all. Pannis pursed his lips and said wistfully: "Since you are so idle and have time to tease me, why don't you care about your daughter and watch her go crazy like this?"
"I can't control Freya, and I don't need to stop her. Odin said with a doting smile, "Have you forgotten that as long as Freya can be happy, I can do anything for her, and for her happiness, I would rather risk fighting my brother for many years, than force Kara to agree to the gambling contract, and put his son's happiness on the table." If I could have done that then, how could I stop her now? Besides, I think she made a good choice, worthy of being my daughter, and very judgmental. ”
"Are you serious?" Pannis frowned, his expression becoming serious, but as he hung upside down in the air, no matter how serious, he looked funny. Obviously, Pannis also found this problem, and immediately rolled down from the treetops, stood in front of Odin with his hands on his chest, and asked seriously: "You don't know, what am I going to do, even so, do you still think her choice is very good?"
"Why not?" Odin stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked directly at Pannis and asked, "Your Majesty Vral has very sure of the success rate of your plan at the high-level meeting, and your past achievements have also made us easily accept His Majesty Floral's assurance, since you think that the success rate of your plan is so high, it means that you will definitely come back, why should I worry about Freya being sad because of this?" Or are you not too sure in your mind, and that you just want to try it out? If that is the case, I think it is necessary to inform Her Majesty Vrard, and I think she would be interested in preventing you from dying. ”
"The success rate is certainly certain. Pannis sighed and said, "However, even the most perfect plan can fail, as exemplified by the disaster of the return of the dead a hundred years ago, what if I don't come back?"
"Lord Kyle, maybe over a hundred years of life without death have made you forget who we are. We are adventurers, you, me, Freya, are all adventurers, adventurers who dance with blood and death, with danger and opportunity, for adventurers, the death of oneself, the death of friends, the death of lovers, shouldn't we be ready at any time? Because of this, we should enjoy every bit of happiness in life to the fullest, and try not to leave regrets. Odin's eyes were a little strange, and he said meaningfully: "So, I absolutely agree with Freya's choice." ”
"Heh, heh, heh, I see, I understand, it turns out that you have taken these into account, in the end, it is the president who single-handedly let the Adventurer's Guild survive the crisis of the year, no wonder you can have a daughter like Freya. Pannis narrowed his eyes and reopened, shaking his head and saying without knowing whether to praise or sarcasm: "In your plan, if I come back alive, then Freya can continue to live happily like this, your goal has been achieved, and you are the ultimate victor." And what if I don't come back alive? Then my death is the best warning to Freya, so that she can truly understand how cruel and dangerous the adventurer's world is, so that she will be more cautious, and may even gradually leave the adventurer's world, and live safely, so that your goal has been achieved, and you are still the ultimate victor. ”
"Hehe, it's Kyle-sama, just by my unintentional words, I guessed all my thoughts. Odin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since something can't be stopped, let's squeeze the benefits as much as possible, isn't that a normal idea?" ”
"Yes, how could I object, and even if I did, what could I do?" I ......" Before Pannis's words could be finished, Freya's voice rang out in the distance: "Pennis, Pannis, where have you gone?"
"I'm here to catch up on my sleep. Pannis raised his voice to indicate his position, and soon Freya's plump figure appeared at the end of his sight, and when he looked back, Odin had disappeared as if he had never seen before.
"Come on, come on. Freya ran up to Pannis, grabbed him by the arm, and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
"Where are you going? Pannis, half-dead, was dragged behind, and said weakly, "I'm sleeping." ”
"Go and lay flowers for mom with me. Freya said in a natural tone, "It's conventional." ”
"Why am I going? Pannis struggled in vain and said, "That's your mother, and I don't know her." ”
"Just because she's my mother. Freya smiled and said, "And we met after offering flowers." ”
"But she's younger than me. Pannis protested.
"No one has a rule that you can't give flowers to people younger than you. Freya smiled happily: "Let's go, you can't run away today." ”
"Help~~~~~~"
