Chapter 21: Reunion

When Bai Ye saw Bliss, he began to believe that this woman was omnipotent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Unlike the Bliss who often wore men's clothes, she was now wearing a long blue skirt with a short light gray mink fur instead of a shirt, hunting pants, and high boots. Her skin was no longer pale and blemishes, but a little light makeup, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. She didn't simply coil up her black hair, staring at others defiantly with a pair of wild lake-green eyes. Instead, he braided a delicate braid and bent it over his shoulders, and his eyes were fluttering and pretty.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Hakuya resisted the urge to ask Bliss directly, for she looked at her as if she were looking at a stranger, polite and restrained, and her intuition told him that this must be another conspiracy, so he had to ask ambiguously.

Merlin had now changed back into his majestic thorn armor, with a ceremonial silver whip around his waist, and a white cloak tied to the ground with a gold ribbon behind his shoulders, all of which were symbols of the whip, perfectly concealing his frivolous temperament. He stepped forward and greeted, "You are the White Night brought to the Templar by Master Patalem, I heard about your heroic performance in the encounter with the Demon Child, sure enough, the young hero, admirable, I am the whip of the three hundred thorn knights of the Raven Castle, Merlin Lando." ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize," Bai Ye cautiously bent down to salute, and when he raised his head, he glanced at Bliss quickly, and found that she was looking at him with interest, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit: "But the version that the Lord heard may be too exaggerated, I definitely didn't have any heroic deeds, in fact, I just kept running for my life, and then I was saved by Master Patrium and Mr. Odda, I didn't dare to touch a single hair of the demon." ”

Merlin smiled slightly: "I like a humble young man like you, it's gratifying to see you recover so well." I haven't introduced you yet, but this is the Baroness of York, who has also been attacked by demons today, and I wonder if you can share what you have seen again to see if it is a demon who is causing trouble on both occasions, which will be of great help to our investigation. ”

"This lady has also been attacked by demons. ”

The White Night Machine repeated.

"I know, such a charming and lovely lady, I don't know how that bastard can do it. ”

Merlin said to himself, when Zakov came in through the door: "Lord Whip, the Blue Cardinal wants you to hurry over, he is very interested in what happened to us, and insists that you report it to your face. ”

"The two of you will rest in this tea room first, and I will come back after I have finished my business. Did someone settle the Baroness's luggage?"

Amis trembled and carried a large box in both hands, and answered outside the door sweatingly: "I'm doing it, my lord, don't worry." ”

Zakov frowned and shook his head: "I actually let such a child carry such a heavy box, I'll help you." ”

With that, he walked out the door, picked up the box in one hand, and Amis thanked him and left with him. Merlin then said goodbye and left.

Bai Ye pretended to say goodbye and waited at the door for them to leave completely, and then turned back with difficulty.

"It's a shame there aren't mirrors here, otherwise you should look at the look on your face like you've swallowed a hedgehog fruit. Bliss cocked one foot and sat comfortably on a bench in the room, pouting at a cherry in his mouth, and looking at the white night with a grin.

Bai Ye sighed helplessly: "What are you trying to do when you dress like this?"

"Don't you like it, it's really tasteless, no girl deserves to be with you, it's far from that handsome Merlin guy. ”

Indeed, standing beside the personable Merlin, Bai Ye always felt a little ashamed of himself, but when these words came out of the mouth of Bliss, he made his heart even more blocked, and he said coldly: "Thank you for the advice, Miss Bliss, I should still call you Baroness York, I left for so many days, and you married a baron?"

"I got married three months ago, to be exact, and then I sent my baron husband out of town to see relatives. ”

"It's funny that you've sent your husband out of town," said White Night dryly, "Is it necessary for you to lie before me, Bliss? I guess your husband is now lying rotten in the wilderness, or in the belly of some wild dog, and it is impossible for him to be at his relative's house." I know you too well, Bliss, you can't just let marriage hold you back. ”

Bliss stretched out a hand, and on her slender jade-like fingers, there was a huge diamond ring: "Maybe, but the identity of a young woman also feels interesting, of course, one day, I will think that it is not bad to be a widow." ”

Bai Ye walked quickly to Bliss's side and grabbed her hand angrily, but the soft and boneless feeling made his heart flutter, and the words that he was about to scold were swallowed back into his stomach, turning into some kind of blame that was close to concern: "Do you think this is a joke?" Your brother went crazy and killed two guards, and all the powerful people in Grey Raven Castle were hunting him down to get rid of him as quickly as possible, but you dared to swagger into the Sanctuary, you, a man with demonic blood, God knows why they didn't find out your bloodline identity, and everyone said that the Thorn Knight cultivated the eye of light, and could identify evil demons is false?"

"Eyes of Light," Bliss chuckled disdainfully, "this glimmer of light may be able to dispel the shadows of a room, or illuminate a road, but it is nothing more than that, even the sun cannot illuminate the darkness of the abyss, so what about their eyes of light." Our bloodline, our identity, is far beyond what you mere mortals know. ”

Bai Ye suddenly felt very tired, but he didn't want to sit down, so he had to lean against the wall to rest his heavy body.

Bliss pulled out a cigarette from his pouch that Merlin had smoked before and handed it to White Night.

"What is this?"

"Smoke made from sΓ©ance powder mixed with tobacco, you haven't touched it in a few days, it makes you feel better. ”

"No," Bai Ye pushed away the cigarette in Bliss's hand, "I don't need ...... At least not right now, I don't want to indulge in this false pleasure, living as if I was in an empty dream. Ever since you saved me from that necromancer a few weeks ago, I've been out of real life. I, a nameless street child, originally lived by begging, occasionally committing some crimes, no matter how difficult and unbearable, at least I knew what I was doing, what I got and sacrificed was to live, and to do what I had to do. ”

"But you took advantage of the favor that saved me, and asked me to do things for you, to deal with those gang bosses, thieves' unions, to sell sΓ©ance powder, and to fill my pockets with gold and silver coins that did not belong to me. Now, it's the Templar and the Knight of Thorns, I don't know how I got to this point, it's not something that people like me should be involved in, I don't have that ability, I can't transform into a demon with infinite power, I can't come up with any clever schemes, I'm nothing, just a waste, why don't you still let me go, let me go back to the mouse hole, let me fend for myself. ”

"Didn't you want to use the money you earned from the sΓ©ance powder to save the stray children in the rat hole? When Bai Ye said this, Bliss slowly lowered her eyes, and when Bai Ye finished speaking, she whispered back, and her tone no longer had the hypocrisy of the previous baroness.

"The reason why those children died was because they obeyed the tricks of fate, admitted that they were worthless parasites, abandoned by their parents, and spurned by society, so they also gave up. All along, I wanted to prove that we are valuable and that we have a meaning to live. But sometimes I feel scared, and I can't help but think, maybe they're right, maybe we're really worthless. Before, I was arguing with an aristocratic kid here, who is better, the aristocratic child or the vagabond, I tried to tell a lot, trying to convince myself that it was true, we were great, we were a bunch of chic bad boys, playing with knives and spitting everywhere. The aristocratic kid believed it, and I almost believed it, but a voice in my heart kept reminding me that it was a lie. I don't want to live in lies anymore. ”
