Chapter Ninety-One: Swimming in the Lake (I)
"Miss Annabelle, Deborah, why are you here?" Liang Ke got up and greeted him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Why, we're not welcome?" said Annabelle, taking off her tiny deerskin gloves, and walked over to Liang Ke's place, surveying the wine glasses and plates of nuts on the small wooden table.
Deborah walked quickly to Liang Ke's side, stood on tiptoe and grabbed Liang Ke's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, Miss Annabelle suddenly came to you, saying that there was something important, so I could only bring her, I ......"
Deborah leaned on her shoulder, and the pair of jade rabbits clamped his arms one left and one right, because of the large height gap between Deborah and him, it was inevitable that she would shake up and down when she spoke in her ear, which made Liang Ke, who had little concentration, feel tormented, and quickly moved his body sideways.
"Ahem, I see, you can sit down and have a drink and rest. ”
Deborah saw this scene in her eyes, her firm nose wrinkled slightly, and she snorted coldly and said, "Colonel Aragorn won't invite me to have a drink too?"
"Hahaha! Of course, it was an honor for Aragorn, I wonder if Miss Annabelle prefers sweeter Burano blueberries or a sour Shenmue green plum?"
Annabelle rolled her eyes playfully and sat down in Liang Ke's place. "What? do you think I can only drink those sweet and sour drinks?" she said, pointing to Liang Ke's glass of ale, "bring me one too." ”
Liang Ke felt that this Annabelle seemed to have come to oppose him, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and asked the waiter to bring two large glasses of ale and put them on the table. Annabelle took her glass in both hands, took a breath, opened her small mouth and took a big sip, she did not taste the sweetness of the malt at all, the pungency of the alcohol choked her cough.
"Ahem, ahem!" said Annabelle, covering her mouth and nose with her little hands, "Is this also wine? ”
Liang Ke frowned slightly, and asked for another glass of Burano blueberry juice for her. After she took a few sips and calmed down her breath, Liang Ke asked out loud, "Miss Annabelle has something to do with me?"
Annabelle came prepared this time, straightened her chest, and said, "Of course, there is something, I heard that there is a small lake outside the city, and there are beautiful shells in the water, and I am going to pick some." Father has sent you to protect me, so let's go after drinking this ale!" With that, the wayward Annabelle threw the small bag of gold coins at her waist on the table, got up and walked out the door.
Liang Ke was almost so angry by her words that he smashed his wine glass, thought about it and temporarily suppressed his anger, followed up and asked, "His Royal Highness ordered me to accompany High Priest Megan of the Orc Empire to visit this city, why did he order me to accompany you to the lake?"
Annabelle raised her eyebrows and said in a loud voice, "Orcs, they killed our people, and they dared to come to us for a visit? Father should order him to be arrested." ”
"Hahaha! This young lady is so angry, haven't many orcs died under the butcher's knife of humans over the years?" Just then, Meghan and Bishop Alger walked in.
"Who are you?" asked Annabelle, looking at the old man with dark eyes.
"I'm the old man you said I should be arrested!" Meghan replied with a smile.
Annabelle's eyes widened, she couldn't believe the fact that orcs were supposed to be stinky vulgar creatures?
"Miss Annabelle, Master Megan is my teacher, please respect some. Bishop Alger reminded with a grim face.
"You're ...... again"
"Miss Annabelle, this is Bishop Alger of the Diocese of Piasso, and the only Saint of Light in the Gallent Empire. Liang Ke hurriedly introduced, for fear that this eldest lady who didn't know the depth would cause trouble again.
Annabelle listened to Liang Ke's introduction, and swallowed back what she was going to say, although she was arrogant, she also knew that with her own identity, she could not easily offend a bishop of the Holy See. She took a deep breath and bowed gracefully to Alger before exiting the tavern.
"Colonel Aragorn, since His Royal Highness has a new mission for you, then you can go and get busy! ”
"What's the matter? Is the master going back?"
"Yes. The old man has seen it, the old land has seen it, and I am very happy on this day! Thank you, Colonel Aragon, for accompanying me. ”
"The master is polite, I will send you out of the city. ”
"No need, just let Bishop Alger send me, you better go and complete your new mission!"
"This ...... We'll see you tomorrow. ”
Megan smiled and waved her hand, and Aragorn walked out of the tavern, called Annabelle, and walked south of the city. Looking at Liang Ke's back, Megan wiped the corners of her eyes again and asked Alger softly. "What do you think, how is this young man?"
Alger was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "A very amazing guy, a guy who can't be seen through, he suddenly appeared in front of people, and released his light as quickly as the sun. Teacher, you may not have imagined that I received a revelation about the coming of the Divine Messenger, and that vague description seemed to be about this young man. ”
"God has not revealed it to us in years, has it?" Meghan looked a little tired as she held the low table beside her with her hand. "Well, whether he is an angel or not, or really a servant sent by some god, you should get along with him, although the god has not given me any revelation, but my intuition tells me that this old man will be dangerous to stand opposite this young man. ”
Alger nodded. "Yes, he's powerful. ”
"No, I'm talking about something else, although I can't say that right now. Alger, I've talked too much today, I'm a little tired, let's go!"
"Good teacher!"
Alger helped Megan into the ox cart, which slowly drove north along the bluestone road until it disappeared from sight. At this moment, Liang Ke and Annabelle had already left the south gate and came to the wilderness outside the city. On her way out of the city, Miss Annabelle gave the order to the guards to stay in the city and wait for her, including Liang Ke's personal guards, of course. With a wicked smile on their faces, Pidero and the others whistled and went to the casino on the side to try their luck, and Liang Ke could only "protect" His Royal Highness's only daughter to go out to play.
In April, Biazor was still hunting in the cold wind, and Annabelle's white fox fur was more decorative than warm, and she rode on a snow-white unicorn to wrap the big coat tightly around her, but she still felt shivering. Although Liang Ke didn't like Annabelle's arrogant personality, looking at her pitiful appearance, his heart was still soft, and he went around to her left side from behind, and used Sanduo's tall body to block the cold north wind for her.
"If it's too cold, let's go back! ”
"No, we have to negotiate with the orcs tomorrow, and I don't know what the outcome will be, and if we fight again, we will never have a chance to be free. Annabelle tightened her neckline and replied stubbornly.
It's simply unreasonable, on such a cold day, the Lake of Heavenly Tears has just been civilized, and the ice in those lakes is not so much dissolved, but rather smashed open by the trebuchets defending the city, and the lake water is cold and biting, how can you go down to collect shells? Liang Ke shook his head secretly and stopped talking.
Annabelle seemed to sense Liang Ke's anger, raised her head and secretly looked at Liang Ke's expressionless face, what a nasty guy, don't you know how to let the girl? She bit her lip and struggled for a long time, and finally said softly: "Just now...... Thank you!"
"What?"
"Thank you for helping me. ”
"No thanks! That's nothing. High Priest Megan is kind to me, he is an old man who deserves respect. I don't think he blames you either. ”
"How could he be your benefactor?" asked Annabelle, surprised.
"If you see my assistant Cocoba, you'll understand. In the early years, Cocoba had met High Priest Megan on the battlefield, High Priest Megan did not kill him because of his bravery, but just put a curse on him, last time we went to the orc camp to deliver a letter, High Priest Megan lifted the transfiguration for him, and Cocoba was given a new life. So, it's also a grace to me. ”
Annabelle blinked and asked puzzledly, "He just helped one of your subordinates, why should you be grateful for his kindness?"
"Kekeba is my friend and my brother. Liang Ke's tone seemed to be affected by the weather, a little cold, and then he noticed Annabelle's aggrieved expression, his voice became softer, and slowly explained: "Kekeba used to be an excellent soldier of the Empire, but due to his misfortune, he was forced to be a local magistrate who did nothing, and one of the reasons why I was able to come here this time was to find a way to lift the curse on him." Originally, I wanted to wait until the war was over and take Cocoba to the orc court, it would be very dangerous, but I didn't expect to meet Meghan here, and he solved our problems so easily, don't you think it's a great grace for us?"
"Are your friends so important to you?"
Liang Ke nodded seriously and replied, "Of course!"
