Chapter 843: Blessing Before the War
After hearing this, Roman touched the back of his head and asked cautiously, "That... Do you make peace charms? ”
Shangguan Xue took out a sewing kit from her bag, threw it in the air and played with it, and said casually: "What charlatans know, how can this onmyoji not?" Originally, I was asked to make a note for a fee, but it's rare to work together, and I'll do it for you for free. ”
"Good, good, thank you." Roman nodded like garlic, "What do I need to do now?" ”
Shangguan Xue took out a blank charm, painted a pattern symbolizing blessing on it, and then sewed out a small red blessing bag with a needlework package, put the charm in the bottom of it, and said: "You need to give me something, something that is extremely important in your heart and has your deepest feelings... For example, a token of love. ”
Roman's face turned red again: "No, I told you, it's just a war, comrade-in-arms, where is there any love token." ”
Shangguan Xue was satisfied with this innocent young man, and said weakly: "Then don't make a love token, give me the most important thing in your mind." ”
Roman was silent for some reason after hearing this, he subconsciously put his hand into his arms and took out something, it was a very childish hairpin, it was very old from the texture, but there was no rust or dirt, it can be seen that the owner has been carefully maintaining it for so many years.
Apparently, it was Roman's hairpin for his lost childhood sister, who had kept it for so many years.
If there is anything that is most important to him, it is only this hairpin that sees things and thinks about people.
However, Roman did not hand the hairpin to Shangguan Xue, but held it tightly, his hands trembling from time to time.
After working together for so long, Shangguan Xue knows more or less about Roman's past, and also knows that childhood memories are tormenting him.
Roman came to this day with an obsession to find his sister, but in fact, everyone knows that his obsession is destined to fail.
Look for? How to find it?
There has been no clue for more than ten years, the royal family has helped him find it, and Chino has also helped him find it, but he still has no direction, no goal, and he doesn't even know if his sister is dead or alive now.
Even if she is still alive, after so much time, she is no longer the little girl next to her brother, even if she meets in the vast sea of people, can she recognize it?
To put it more cruelly, she is now grown up, no matter whether she is living a good or bad life, she has her own life path, is it necessarily a good thing for brother and sister to reunite at this time and disturb each other's lives?
Not necessarily...
People can't live forever for obsessions, rather than being trapped in memories, the people and things at the moment are more worth cherishing.
Of course, this is just Shangguan Xue's idea, she didn't plan to point fingers at other people's obsessions, so she whispered: "It's okay, we just go through a process, and it doesn't have to be the most cherished thing, you can just take something with you and give it to me." ”
Roman held the hairpin and trembled for a long time, and finally, something seemed to disappear in those confused eyes, and he stretched out his hand and resolutely put the hairpin in the lucky bag.
Shangguan Xue was silent for a moment and looked at him deeply: "It's decided?" ”
Roman nodded heavily.
Shangguan Xue didn't say anything more, holding the lucky bag in one hand, waving the flower umbrella in the other hand, the yin and yang spell turned into surging energy, the lucky bag emitted a soft shimmer and gently floated in her palm, and the mottled light points swirled and sprinkled, like a thrilling rain of light.
"Reach out, hold it." Shangguan Xue slowly moved the blessing bag to Roman's palm, and her voice was soft, "Make your wish." ”
Roman held the peace charm tightly, put it to his heart, closed his eyes and muttered, "Niko, be safe... Be safe, Niko..."
Shangguan Xue: "Big brother, you can just recite it silently in your heart, you don't need to read it to me, I'm not a bodhisattva..."
The atmosphere became awkward, Roman smirked twice, and continued to chant silently until the light dissipated, which also meant that the peace charm was officially made.
As soon as Shangguan Xuehua umbrella was put away, he said lazily: "Okay, go ahead, give the peace charm to Niko and let her wear it." ”
"Thank you! Makes you bothered! Roman thanked Shangguan Xue in a good way, and left in a hurry.
"Roman." Shangguan Xue suddenly stopped him and said deeply, "Protect her and don't let her get hurt." ”
...
The day is getting brighter, the assembly time is getting closer, and the blitzkrieg is about to begin.
In this operation, only the Helsin family members who were in the command room at the time really knew the details, and the slave rebels below did not know the overall plan, but each combat unit had its own goal, and the atmosphere on the eve of the war made them both excited and nervous.
Niko had already gotten up and started counting her gear, when suddenly, she saw Roman beckoning not far away.
"Morning, Roman," Niko beckoned.
Like a thief, Roman whispered, "Come, Niko, and show you something good!" ”
"What?" Niko trotted over curiously.
Roman spread out his palm, revealing the small red blessing bag, and said with a smirk: "Peace charm, I asked for it from Shangguan Xue, you can wear it quickly." ”
"Peace Charm?!" Niko's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "You mean the kind of thing in Far Eastern legends that can block the scourge of blood and light when you wear it?" ”
"That's right! Wear it, and you'll be safe in this war," Roman said, shoving the little bag into Niko's pocket.
Niko touched her pocket, and while she was delighted, she hurriedly asked, "What about you, do you have one?" If not, I'll give you mine! ”
Roman touched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Yes, I asked for two, and mine has been put in my pocket, don't worry." ”
"Thank you." Niko smiled sweetly, she pursed her lips, secretly looked at Roman's eyes, and a little dodged, as if there were stars shining in her eyes, "Roman, there are some things I have always wanted to say, but I can't find a chance..."
"I don't know if it's appropriate to say that now, it's... During that time in Intramuros... The happiest thing for me is to get to know you. ”
Roman didn't know where to put his hand for a while, he touched his chin again, scratched his ears again, and his face was red: "Hahaha, you... This... I'm a little embarrassed. ”
"Young, flirting early in the morning?" Lugo yawned and swaggered over, and Paladin and the others were watching them from a short distance.
Niko's face turned red and she said angrily: "What is flirting, we two old comrades-in-arms, what's wrong with catching up before the war?" ”
Lugo laughed, put his hand in the air, and said, "The division of troops is about to be made, and we will not see each other for a long time." Here, fold your hands and cheer it up. ”
Niko and Roman looked at each other and smiled, Paladin, Shangguan Xue, and Shangguan Ba also walked over, and everyone stretched out their hands and folded them together.
"Come on! One, two..."
Lugo had barely counted twice when Paladin hammered him: "Hey! You didn't wake up early in the morning, right, no one is there, why are you in a hurry? ”
Paladin turned his head and beckoned: "Baiza, come here!" ”
Seeing Baiza standing in the corner, looking deep into the distant sky, he heard the call and let out a sigh and folded his hands.
"Haha, I'm sorry, brother, I missed you in the morning." Lugo riveted again and said with a full sense of anger: "One, two, three!" ”
Seven hands pressed hard, and they spread out like petals in the wind.
"See you in the City of Sadness!"
