"Yes, a better future, when Vera was promoted to the sixth order, her other companions were only in the middle of the fifth order at most, and they were all older than her, and now Vera is almost the ninth order, right? Her talent is really not ordinarily strong......" Anne took a deep breath of a slightly minty cigarette, blew it out towards the sky, and then got up to clean up the almost burned tobacco, and looked at the willow leaves that were still in the clouds.

"Ye Zichan, you are still too young, there are some things that you haven't experienced yet, feelings are such a thing as a wonderful thing, we know Vera's talent at a glance, how can her partner who has been with her for so long not know? At that time, the gap may only be less than one order, so I don't think it is like anything, now more than twenty years have passed since then, Zedin and Diego have only reached the sixth order, and the others are probably at this level, and the gap will come out all of a sudden. Anne patted Willow on the shoulder.

"A powerhouse at the peak of the eighth order is indeed dazzling enough, and it is enough to make the mercenary group famous, but if the strength of the partner is too different from her, then they are no longer partners, but a burden, and people who really treat their partners as family members will not allow this kind of thing to happen, so all of them acted in a show without Vera......."

"Why is that, isn't it good to explain it directly? Everyone can get together and disperse, right?" the little girl still didn't understand.

"Do you think Vera looks like the kind of person who is afraid of her partner dragging her feet and flying alone? I don't think so, if you say it bluntly, she will probably insist on staying, and it will be bad for everyone at that time, I actually think people are still a little accurate, Vera looks cold, in fact, she is very emotional, but she doesn't know how to express it at all. Anne didn't know where to find a new folding fan, the simplest kind of folding fan made of wood bone and satin, no longer a small lace women's folding fan, and the plain white folding fan on both sides shook gently.

"So I think it's a scene that they directed and acted in, and in order to better fool Vera, they really left the mercenary group and went their separate ways....... Gee....... They're so nice to Vera......." Anne shook her head and smiled, which was a surprise to him living on Earth.

"Is that really the case?" Willow Leaf was a little unacceptable.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten...... Hey, feelings are really amazing, it can make people willing to pay any price, in order to make another person live better, such a cost-effective thing is still willing to be ......." Anne shook her head, although it was a little ridiculous, but it was still a little envious, after all, he didn't have any friends.

"Alright, now that the story is over, it's time for them to finish talking. Anne slapped her face, jumped off Rimuru, and glanced back at Vera, the conversation between the two had turned to Nina's study, and it seemed that Diego had deliberately avoided this topic.

"Sister, how did you guess this?" the little girl looked at Anne with admiration, the longer she and Anne were together, the more she could learn a lot from Anne that she had never heard of before.

"That's why I said you're still young, you'll understand in a few years, and the longer you live, the more you'll know, understand?" Anne patted Willow Leaf on the shoulder with an old-fashioned look, and went to find Bailey with her hands behind her back, and he saw the little girl running to the side of the big rock in a daze.

"The longer you live, the more you know?......" Willow Leaf repeated Anne's words softly, turning her head to look at Anne's swaying back, her eyes a little complicated.

"How long did my sister live......

Anne said this is actually completely to pretend to be b, just to say it by the way, but he doesn't know what the listener will think, after all, the blood clan is an immortal species, and if the strength is enough, it is not a problem to live for tens of thousands of years, the premise is to live hard, and if you don't go out to provoke life or be shot to death, this race itself is scarce, no one on the mainland has seen the blood clan for a long time, and in this world where ordinary people can live for a hundred years is already a matter of two generations, and even some people don't know this race at all, so few people will know how old a super powerful blood clan like Anne is。

Anne, who knew how to run away after pretending, wandered behind Belle, and the little girl didn't notice him at all, still wandering.

"What do you want?" Anne sat down beside Bellie, clutching the smaller Rimuru back and forth in her hand, having recently discovered a new feature for Rimuru to act as a decompression toy.

"Ah?...... Sister-sama. Bellie, who was in a daze, was awakened by Anne's voice, and quickly got up and saluted.

"Okay, okay, I don't have so many rules, sit down. Anne waved her hand.

"Uh-huh......" The little girl sat back down softly, quietly watching the man who easily changed her life.

"What were you thinking just now?" Ann touched the little girl's head, and sure enough, when she was older, she liked to touch the child's head, regardless of whether people would be annoyed or not.

"Ah?..... I wonder if I'm dreaming......" Belle paused for a moment and replied softly.

"Why do you think so?" Anne had already guessed the reason, but still asked, he wanted Bailey to say it herself, there were some things that she couldn't figure out by herself.

"Feeling...... None of this is true...... Yesterday I was almost killed by someone for trying to eat something and steal money, but today I have enough to eat and new clothes......" Belle raised her left arm and looked at the slender white skin, which was severed by someone yesterday, but now it is intact, and even the scars on her body have disappeared.
