Chapter Seventy-Nine: Self-Knowledge

He said that he would return to Verteck in the evening, but in fact, after learning of Carol's visit, Glerint consciously accelerated his afternoon trip, and when it was close to four o'clock, he completed this tour. After informing Afra again, he teleported directly back to Verteck, and went directly to the room where the doppelganger Anthy was.

As he expected, Carol was crossing her index fingers and resting them easily on her lap, sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the doppelganger. Seeing his emergent figure, her face froze for two seconds of surprise, and then suddenly burst into joy, and she stood up suddenly, and took a few small steps forward, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

"Good afternoon."

"Miss Carol."

Gleilynt took off his top hat, flipped it over, flicked the brim twice, shook off a little of the ice crystal, and pressed it to his left chest, slightly shutting his upper body.

It was only the first time he had greeted Carol so formally.

"Good afternoon, Glerint."

Carol kept a shallow smile and gracefully replied to him.

This time, Glerint learned the lesson of the previous chat and proposed:

"Let's go to the chat room, and I'll ask the servant to prepare some drinks."

"Okay."

Glerint glanced at Anthy, a doppelganger who looked exactly like him, and didn't control him, and took Carol to the chat room.

When he came downstairs, the maid who was waiting for him noticed him and immediately greeted him:

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

At the same time, despite her best efforts, Glerint noticed that she was stealthily glancing at Carol next to her.

Counting Joan Nolan, who has lived here for a while, this is already the fourth beautiful lady that Glerint has brought back, one is Shirley, who lives there, and the other is Eudora, who has been watching Gleilynt for half a month.

He didn't say anything, but naturally commanded:

"A cup of Highland coffee, a sugar cube, and a cup of black tea are all sent to the small chat room next to the living room."

"Yes, sir."

The coffee was for Carol, so Glerint made a point of emphasizing that black tea was not necessary, and the servants were already very familiar with his tastes.

…………

Chat room.

Glerint took off his heavy burgundy windbreaker and hung it aside, then restrained the thought of throwing himself all over the couch. However, he thought that he was familiar with Carol, but he did not observe the etiquette very well, but sat down first, and said casually:

"Let's sit down first."

"Why did you come here directly this time, is there anything particularly important?"

"Anyway, does it really have no effect on you parasitizing and lifting parasitism so frequently?"

Carol was already neat, and had been a little more formalized before, but now she was infected by Glerint's posture, and quickly relaxed, and did not even sit upright, but leaned back comfortably but not very elegantly on the sofa.

She bowed her head and answered Glerint's second question first:

"I'm playing in advance now, and I'm done through magical items, so it basically doesn't matter."

"As for the purpose of my visit this time......

The girl paused slightly, and only when she had succeeded in attracting Glerint's attention did she continue to laugh:

"That's a bit much."

A little too much......

Glerint's brow twitched, and he had a feeling that something was not good, and just as he was about to say something, the servant brought in a good cup of coffee, tea, and refreshments.

When the servant left the closed door, he threw out a "twist" and closed the room:

"What the hell is going on? Let's talk about it. ”

Carol took a sip of the cup of Highland coffee, and no longer sold it, but said as she asked:

"Do you remember what I told you on Monday about the purpose of Eudora's application to come to Verteck?"

"Remember, on the surface, he wanted to 'pajama' me and make me betray MI9...... But in fact, he just wanted to prove his charm and then kill me. ”

Glerint nodded, repeating the information Carol had given him before, and then he thought that Carol was out of the "parasitic" state of Eudora, so he subconsciously asked:

"Is there something wrong with her?"

Carol nodded and explained in detail:

"Through Deputy Mayor Pieru, she came into contact with the supreme commander of the Southern Continent of your MI9, Lieutenant General Calvin."

……

No, who did the Rune royal family and the Augustus family arrange for MI9?

On the southern continent, a "punishment knight" Darnell who is keen on asking for bribes and just wants to survive until retirement, and Calvin, a "fallen earl" who is simply funny and corrupted by beauty...... There was such a situation in the colony of East Byrand, and Glerint had to say that Basel was really hard.

Although Carol had some scruples and used a less straightforward "contact" instead of "seducing", how could Glerint not hear what she meant implicitly?

"Doesn't he know about the Facelings and the Witch of Pleasure? Impossible? ”

Glerint subconsciously thought that the message given by Carol was not very reliable, not that he believed Calvin's determination, but that he thought that the other party must know enough about the two extraordinary sequences of "Faceling" and "Witch of Pleasure" to not be so easily seduced...... Moreover, Augustus strictly controlled the two extraordinary ways of "arbitrator" and "lawyer", and pinched the formula of the middle and high sequences very tightly, since they dared to let Calvin be promoted, it means that Calvin was completely trustworthy.

"Could it be that he's playing 'the fallen'? But Eudora is not a fool? ”

This news really shocked Glerint and frowned suddenly, although he was secretly believed by Basel and had an improper deal with Darnell...... But Augustus has always been careful to watch out for Basel, and must have installed people to monitor him in the army demigods, so although Gleilint dares to blatantly absent from work, if the royal demigod notices the sequence level, he must still be very dangerous.

Glerint frowned and pondered for several minutes, then spoke directly:

"I remember to report Eudora's surveillance of me before, but there are no photos attached, do you know more detailed information?"

She shook her head:

By noon, Eudora had already met Calvin and had a dirty conversation...... Then I took advantage of her alone to find an opportunity to get out of the parasitism. ”

"After all, I am a 'parasite' achieved with magical items, and it is very likely that I will be recognized by the Sage of Sequence 3, so whenever Eudora may come into contact with the Sage of Sequence 3, I will leave early."

Of course, there is also the reason that she does not want to be influenced by some bad thoughts of Eudora.

After all, she didn't dare to take out Eudora's thoughts in front of a demigod.

Without intelligence, Glerint had no way to analyze, the only thing he was sure of was that Calvin would never be so easily played by Eudora, so he had to nod his head, keep this matter in his heart, and asked instead:

"What about the rest?"

Seeing that he had made a note of it, Carol stopped nagging and continued:

"Looking at the current situation, Eudora should be around the demigod very often in a short period of time, I can't parasitize her, so there is no point in staying here, but I have nowhere to go, so I plan to go back to Trier to rest for a while...... So I want to go with you to get that potion material first, and I also want you to pay attention to Eudora's condition. ”

There's nothing wrong with getting the material first, and Glellint isn't going to use violence to get the material anyway, but plans to exchange it for a pilling ritual, so it's okay to go early or late.

But...... Carol has nowhere to go?

Glerint's heart suddenly moved, and he muttered and invited:

"You're just going back to Trier, you're bored, why don't you go on a trip with me and see the scenery of the Hagati steppe? And you yourself look at Eudora, you must be more ...... than I am."

"Ahem!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Carol's coughing, and at the same time, two intoxicating blush appeared on her smooth cheeks. Gleilint suddenly had a special feeling, just like when he checked the scores of the college entrance examination that year, full of anticipation and apprehension.

"Good!"

Just as he was pondering whether these words were appropriate and whether they were rude, the girl opposite fell a word, completely emptying all his thoughts and making his mind go blank for a short time.

Looking up, the beautiful girl was staring at the tips of her shoes with her head bowed like an ostrich.

After dozens of seconds, Carol didn't get an answer, and she couldn't help but raise her head with some doubt...... The eyes of the two were separated, and the girl was even more ashamed...... This person! He stared at himself for more than half a minute!

It's over, whether it's rude or not before, it's a faux pas.

Annoyed for a moment, Gleilynt shook his head, coughed dryly, and said casually:

"As for getting the materials, I don't have to wait for me to finish digesting the potion, we can go early, um, do you have time tomorrow?"

As soon as he said that, he realized that he was as stupid as a curly-haired baboon when he asked this question.

Sure enough, Carol raised her head and looked at him seriously for a few seconds, as if there was a smile in her eyes that she couldn't hide, and only after half a sound did she lightly open her lips and spit out a word:

"Yes."

Then, realizing that her attitude was not very suitable, she changed the subject, smiled, looked at Glerint and said:

"In addition to these two things, I have one more thing to come over today."

This seemingly smiling attitude made Gleilynt a little confused.

She seems to think I can guess?

……

After a minute or two, seeing that the dazedness in Glerint's eyes had not diminished in the slightest, the girl couldn't help but pat her forehead, and she really felt speechless:

"Don't you even remember what day it is?"

Okay, it's all prompted......

However...... Glerint still couldn't remember it at all, and didn't think that today's date had any special significance.

"It's your own birthday! A sucker. ”

"My birthday?"

Glerint asked a direct rhetorical question, and Carol began to wonder if the information she had received from Eudora was true...... After all, although Eudora claims to be Glerint's cousin, in fact, the blood relationship between the two is extremely far apart, maybe it is possible to remember it wrong?

At this time, Glerint suddenly hesitated, he did not know how to explain it to Carol.

In fact, he didn't forget it at all, he always remembered that today was "his" birthday, of course, this "he" was the original owner Glerint, not his Zhong Jianshu...... So from the bottom of his heart, he didn't recognize that today was anything special, he just felt that it was a very ordinary day.

It's the same "crossing", but Glerint and Klein are a little different:

Zhou Mingrui really fused a part of Klein's memories and naturally took over his identity - which is one of the reasons for his later split personality.

But "Glerint" is completely just a bystander to the memory of the original owner Glerint, and there is no fusion at all. This also means that his personality is completely composed of the memories of "Zhong Jianshu", at most, after waking up a little memory of the new "Children of Chaos", there have been some slight changes...... So his self-perception has always been very clear:

"I am Zhong Jianshu! An ordinary person with memories of the old city and has read the 'original'. ”

So although he inherited the identity of "Glerint" in a social sense, in his heart, he has always disapproved that his remarried mother Shamira is really his "mother", nor does he recognize that there is really a "father-killing enmity" between him and Walter...... Of course, he did not recognize "Gleilint's" birthday as his own.

This is very important, originally he was a stitching monster in memory, but fortunately, the memory of the newborn "Child of Chaos" is very small, which basically did not have a too obvious impact on his personality, leaving only the obsession of "ascending to the divine throne and restoring the integrity of the 'Son of Chaos'". If he mixed in some of the "Glelint" self-perception, then he would be schizophrenic nine out of ten! It will even go out of control and become a monster without reason.

With Klein's "lessons from the past", he has always taken this issue seriously.

In view of this, Glerint immediately organized the language, and said to Carol with a smile:

"Yes, that's right, today is indeed my birthday in the sense of my life."

The modifier was very strange, and Carol was sure that she was not mistaken, and after letting go of the original embarrassment, she heard Gleilynt continue:

"But I think a person's spirit is the essence, and it can really determine a person. So I'm more inclined to another special date, which is my spiritual birthday, which is the day of the birth of my spiritual core......"

He reported the birthday of his "previous life", that is, the birthday of the personality of "Zhong Jianshu".

If you don't want to be deceived by lies, you can only add "a little" of language skills.

This statement is very idealistic, according to the "materialist" view, of course, matter affects spirit, but Carol obviously did not know this, she nodded as if she understood it, and agreed with his cognition, and at the same time there was some doubt in her heart that this was the day when Gleilynt began to believe in evil gods...... After all, many faiths, even the faith of the righteous gods, are advocating the "rebirth of the spirit."

"Alright then, I'll give you your birthday later."

She said with a little regret.

Glerint's heart moved, and he asked:

"I really don't recognize today's birthday, but thank you for your kindness."

"That's right......"

"I don't know what your birthday is?"

"March 28th."

This is actually quite rude, but with the relationship between the two and Carol's usually neat personality, she didn't have any twists about it, and answered very naturally, and added casually:

"It's very close to the 'spiritual birth date' you gave, only twenty days late, but according to the year of your birth that Eudora knows, I am a year younger than you."

Gleilynt secretly praised her generosity and calmness, and said jokingly:

"Then if you really take Eudora's identity, you should also call me 'cousin'?"

The girl shook her head, shook her golden ponytail, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and threw him a "don't even think about it" look.

"Shall I go directly to Sloansland with you? Or will you go and get the potion materials tomorrow and then go over? ”

Glerint pondered for a moment, and replied:

"Let's go straight to it."

Otherwise, we'll have to leave her here alone.

"By the way, I want to borrow the 'Guiding Lantern' in your hand, I want that clone to do something, but it's inconvenient for me to leave the 'Chain of Secret Methods' in my hand...... You'll be going to be with me for a while, and you won't need that magical item? ”

Carol's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she wanted to ask Glerint what the "other Glerint" in the room was all about...... But after several attempts, he still didn't ask this question about personal secrets.

But whatever the secret, no matter what the relationship, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to ask, even if it is as intimate as husband and wife.

Just as Glerint never asked about her parents, she fully respected Glerint's privacy and would not ask questions that would obviously embarrass him—because they would either get a lie, or a rejection, and only rarely, at the cost of destroying the relationship, getting a truthful answer.

As for sharing certain secrets and thus becoming more intimate, that is only useful when you actively share them.

Although she will indifferently spy on some of Glerint's privacy from the side through Shirley, she is rarely sober about these bottom-line issues.

"Okay, no problem."

Just as she nodded in agreement, Glerint's ears suddenly sounded the sound of "booming" water......
