Chapter 378: The Last Stand
"Yes, big brother, if you praise little Remy, she will blush so much that she can't marry you. â
"Pache you, ...... What are you talking nonsense?!"
"Eh, the reaction is so big, did I say something on my mind?hahaha...... I see, my sweet little Remy, do you like big brother?"
"Closed ...... Shut up!"
"Eh, yes, people just don't shut up, what can you do to me......? Little Remy likes big brother Oh, I like it, this is so surprising, big brother, do you like little Remy?"
Seeing that the flames of war had burned on his body, Qin Hao was stunned, and came back to his senses from the window, a little embarrassed, "Uh...... Pache are talking to me? Sorry, I was a little distracted and didn't hear me. â
The two girls looked at each other, stopped playing like children, and sat down.
"If you can, can the big brother tell us what happened?" Remilia bit her lip and said, "Although we are not very old, many times when a person is confused, outsiders can often see the essence of the matter at a glance and give the best answer...... Maybe we can help you?"
"Yes, yes, Remilia is right," Pache shook her head in agreement, and raised a finger sternly, "This is the so-called obsession with the authorities, and the bystanders are clear...... Big brother, if you want, we can give you advice. â
"Is that so?" Qin Hao smiled a little reluctantly, but the gloom in his eyes couldn't hide the girls' gaze, "Okay, I'll just say it and discuss it to see if you can give me a good Jianyi." â
The two girls sat upright, coughed dryly, and said with the same stern and reserved face as the presiding judge in the courtroom, "Please speak." â
"Things. That is true. A friend I know is in a desperate situation and his life is in danger at any moment...... It may be said that in three days at most, if no one has come to save her, then she will be dead. â
"The murderer threatened me to go to him alone, or he would kill my friend, but my strength was so different from that of the thug that I was alone that I had no power to fight back in front of him, and even if I went, I would not add another person to death. But if I don't go, I can't watch my friends die. â
After speaking, Qin Hao spread his hands, a little gloomy and silent, "So I'm in a dilemma, and I don't know what to do at all...... You say, in the face of this situation, should I really ignore my friend's death and not go to the risk?"
"Friend, she?" Paciule touched her chin. He glanced at Qin Hao a little strangely, "Big brother, is this friend of yours a girl?"
"Uh...... Right. â
"Beautiful?"
"Also...... It's okay, right?"
"You like her?"
"Ahem...... That one...... Belch...... In fact, if this hadn't happened. The next time we meet, I'm already planning to marry her. â
Remilia's eyes darkened on the side, and she lowered her head in some frustration.
Pache glanced at her companion and sighed sympathetically. She stood up and patted Qin Hao's shoulder like a little adult, "Since you are already planning to get married." Then that sister is your wife. Big brother, you can't die for your wife, right?"
"Yes, you can't see death without saving ......" Qin Hao leaned back, the weight of the whole person leaned on the seat in the restaurant, and looked at the ceiling above his head with blank eyes, "But I still owe a lot of things to many people, and I still have unfulfilled promises to them." They trust me and are willing to follow me, and my life and death are no longer just about me...... Carrying such a heavy responsibility, am I worthy to be willfully sent to death?"
"They?" Patchouli frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Although it may sound complicated, in fact, this matter is just one sentence in the end, that is, big brother, can you be ruthless in disregarding your wife's life or death...... In other words, it's time to test their and her weight in your heart. If you think that sister is more important, you will definitely go to the appointment in the end, and vice versa, how to choose, to be honest, only you know it, big brother. â
"Yes, only I know how to choose," Qin Hao raised his head and muttered, "To be honest, I actually have the answer for a long time, but I've been avoiding it." â
He raised his head and looked at the two girls sternly, "Thank you, Remilia and Pachouli, thank you for your enlightenment, I have figured it out." â
"Do you understand? That would be great," Patchouli smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth curled in a lovely arc, "and in order to repay our enlightenment, will the eldest brother be able to accompany us on a tour of Cassania City in the rest of the time? â
The girl on the side turned red and pinched her companion hard, "What nonsense are you talking about? Obviously you are very happy, right? Why do you want to take me?"
"Of course I'm happy to have a big brother with me, what's not to admit about this?" Patchouli looked at her companion mischievously and said with a smile, "I don't know what you're shy about little Remy, you shouldn't like big brother, right?"
"Stupid...... Stupid, you're going to die!" Remilia glared at her companion, and then moved her gaze to Qin Hao, her eyes full of anticipation, "Big brother, is it okay?"
"Uh...... That one...... I'm sorry," Qin Hao turned his head a little embarrassed, not daring to look at the girl's dim disappointed eyes, "I think I may not stay long, and I'll leave Cassania City and go somewhere else." â
After a pause, Qin Hao added, "But you don't have to worry, I still know a few reliable friends in Cassania City." If you can trust me, I can trouble them to take care of you both, and I won't let you suffer here. â
It can be seen that after being rejected, the two girls were a little disappointed. However, they tried their best to hide their disappointment, and forced a happy smile to play with Qin Hao, and in such a cheerful atmosphere, the three of them finished breakfast and parted ways in the square.
Standing in the center of the two guardian statues, the girl named Remilia finally mustered up the courage and asked Qin Hao one last question.
"Big brother, will you come back to Cassania City next year?"
After speaking, the girl didn't wait for Qin Hao to answer, and said to herself, "I'll come back this time next year...... No, not just next year, I'll be here every year after that. â
Raising her head, Remilia looked at Qin Hao firmly, "I fell in love with this place, I fell in love with this city, and I fell in love with someone here." So I'll be back here every year after that...... What about you? Will you come back here? This time next year?"
Many times, love is such a thing, like this kind of thing, just a smiling look is enough to move people's hearts, and it doesn't take too many things. Under the girl's nervous gaze, Qin Hao was silent for a long time before revealing an open-minded smile.
"If I hadn't died......"
In Qin Hao's bright smile, the girl's tears burst out of her eyes. She covered her mouth, and turned and ran away with a little choking, not daring to stay any longer, as if afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would say something terrible.
Her companion sighed and hurriedly chased after her, and the backs of the two girls gradually disappeared from Qin Hao's sight.
"Come out, Irene, I know you're here. â
In Qin Hao's sigh, the air around him began to slowly distort, and then two beautiful figures appeared behind Qin Hao silently.
"The hosts. â
In the midst of the respectful and obedient salutation, Onexia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you need me to protect them secretly?"
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "There's no need for that, you just go and talk to the royal family of the Heyman Empire." Anyway, I have used my name as an umbrella for more than a thousand years, and it's time to collect some interest, so that they can secretly protect Remilia and them from any danger. Tell them that if there is any crisis in the territory of the Hillman Kingdom in Remilia, then there is no need for the Hillman royal family to save zĂ i. â
Onexia nodded in understanding, "I'm going to warn the Hillman royal family." â
At the same time as the voice fell, Onexia's figure disappeared into the square again, leaving Erin standing alone behind Qin Hao. Looking at Qin Hao's resolute back with a somewhat gloomy gaze, Erin's face was full of gloom.
"Master, are you leaving?"
She already knew Qin Hao's decision, but she didn't have any intention of persuasion. Because she knew that the person who would retreat because of the threat of death was not Qin Hao, Qin Hao had never been afraid of death, and for him, many times, family and friends were more important than herself.
And for Qin Hao, Anova is such a family, an important friend worthy of his death.
Erin's question, Qin Hao did not answer it positively. He just raised his head, stared at the white clouds fluttering overhead, and called softly, "Erin." â
"Huh?"
"Come with me. â
After a pause, Qin Hao muttered, "The Wind Fantasy also needs a new master. â
Erin's body stiffened, and her eyes were full of despair, "Is there no way to do it?"
"No, this is the last dead end. â
Qin Hao muttered, and disappeared silently into the city of Cassania City with Erin, "I have no choice, but at least I'm not hopeless, I can fight one last time......" (To be continued......)
