"What?" Annelotte asked.
"..." Regnar was silent, and he gave Malolite a sneaky look.
"Ah, maybe Xiao Lei and Annie have something to say, let's go out first, let's go out first!" Malloryt knowingly pushed the others outside.
Several people were a little surprised by Regnar's sudden behavior, but now that Malolite had spoken, they didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. Several people cast a questioning look at Regnar, then turned and left.
"Okay, can we talk now?" Annelotte said with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Regnar took out a delicate small box from his space pocket, and then carefully handed it to Annelotte: "This is it."
"..." Annelotte silently took the box, but did not rush to open it, because the enchantment on this box was a one-time use, and once it is opened, the magic circle originally carved on it will be destroyed.
"What's in here?" Annelotte looked at the magic circle, and then discovered that this magic circle had the effect of confining the energy of the water element. Where did Regna get this thing from
"Inside this is a Neptune Giant Whale Warcraft Crystal Core." Regnar said: "You used to consume a lot of frost essence in order to detoxify me. Maybe this thing can make up for your previous losses."
"..." Annelotte looked at the small box in her hand, then raised her head and asked coldly: "Who gave it to you?"
"..." Regnar's eyes were wandering: "This... you just take it and use it..."
"The Giant Neptune Whale is not something you can kill at all, and you have been in the middle of the continent before and have never been to the sea. Who gave it to you?" Annelotte didn't seem to be happy at all when she received this gift.
"Yes, this thing is not mine. It was given to me by someone else. Let me hand it over to you..." Regnar said evasively, "But he won't let me tell you who he is."
"I know even if you don't tell me." Annelotte narrowed her eyes: "It's Malolite, right?"
"That's right..." Regnar sighed, and then he said cautiously: "But... Annie, isn't it a bit... not good for you to directly call your father's name?"
"Father?" Annelotte looked cold: "When did he act like a father?"
"He cares about you! He really cares about you!" Regnar persuaded: "He did not hesitate to travel on the sea for two or three months for you, just to help you hunt a giant whale of the sea and solve your problem. The problem of insufficient frost essence in the body. He also... "
"What happens to him has nothing to do with me!" Annelotte stretched out the box in her hand: "Give this back to him and tell him I don't owe him anything!"
"Annie, don't be like this, can you calm down?" Regnar saw Annelotte about to throw the box out, he quickly caught the thing and said: "He really loves you, he is yours Father!"
"Don't mention those two words to me!" Annelotte raised her voice in a rare voice: "Father? Ever since I can remember, my memory has always been only the dark corridors of the guild and the weird looks of the guild members. He didn't even I don’t know how I lived in the past! Now you come here to care about me and pretend to be affectionate? And you tell me, this is called father’s love? "
"There must be a reason!"
"The reason?" Annelotte looked at Regnar and said coldly: "What reason? Is it because he wants to hang out with those celebrities and socialites in Melinder? Because he is used to living alone and doesn't want to bring a burden around him. Because he is an Imperial Sword Spirit, will having a daughter affect his reputation? Tell me, what external factors can prevent a sword master from raising his daughter?"
"..." Regnar was silent. Annelotte was right. With Malolite's power, there were few things in the world that he couldn't do. Not to mention something as basic as raising a daughter? But he did send Annelotte to that dark and cold guild. There must be only one explanation for why this happened - Malolette didn't want to raise her daughter.
"Three years ago, when you were poisoned, I saw him for the first time. Maybe you can ask him what he has been doing in Merindle in the past ten years." Annelotte's tone gradually calmed down.
"Annie..." Regnar whispered, "Do you remember Balor?"
"Why did you suddenly talk about this?" Annelotte frowned.
"After you left, I originally wanted to come here to find you directly, but Balor... Balor invited me to a duel in Nightsong Forest on the condition of hearing about Irene." Regnar said.
"I know this."
"Do you know what Sister Vera did before the duel?" Regnar asked.
"I don't know." Although I received information later, it was only information from the guild. As for some small details between Vera and Regna, she naturally didn't know.
"Sister Vera..." Regna took a deep breath, and then whispered: "Sister Vera once knelt down and begged me before the duel, begging me not to kill Balor during the duel, begging me Let him live."
"..." Annelotte was silent. It was hard for her to imagine what it would be like for a woman like Vera, who was always fierce and powerful, to kneel down and plead with others.
"The reason is simple, because Balor is her brother." Regnar said: "Although Balor killed Uncle Field in anger, even though he kept causing trouble for me. But Sister Vera, in the end She was worried that Balor would be killed by me just like that. She knelt down and begged me to let go of her only relative in this world..." Regnar tried to be as emotional as possible.
"..." This was indeed the case. A look of hesitation flashed across Annelotte's face after hearing this.
"No matter what, Lord Malolite is your father, and he may be the only person you have a blood relationship with in this world." Regnar struck while the iron was hot: "Could it be that you don't care about your only relative in this world? Do you hate me so much?"
Annelotte said nothing.
"I understand how excessive the things Master Malloryt did to you were, and I think Master Malloryt himself also understands." Regnar slowly approached Annelotte, and he said softly: "But , he has never expected to be forgiven by you immediately. Lord Malolite is just working hard in his own way, hoping to be able to come into your world."
Regnar handed over the box in his hand again: "Accepting this thing does not mean that you forgive Lord Malolite. He understands this truth. What he expects now is just an opportunity. , an opportunity to make up for my mistakes back then.”
Annelotte looked down at the small box in Regnar's hand, but made no move.
Regnar continued: "I understand your thoughts, because Master Malloryt once abandoned you and ignored you, so you have some resentment towards him. But Annie, you are a kind person, you simply don't do anything Don't hate someone completely. The reason why you don't want to recognize Lord Malolite is just because you are afraid of being abandoned by him for a while. You are just afraid... "
"I won't be afraid!" Annelotte finally said stubbornly.
"No! You are just afraid!" Regnar was unexpectedly strong: "Because you don't want to experience the feeling of being abandoned by your loved ones again, so you chose to reject Lord Malolite. That's it. You can't deny it!"
"I don't need to deny anything!" Annelotte said coldly.
"Okay!" Regnar raised his hand: "Accept it! If you are really not afraid, then accept it. Or do you already hate him to the point where you hate everything about him? Impossible! Annie, you are not like this! You don’t have to lie to yourself!"
"..." Annelotte raised her hand hesitantly.
"Give him a chance, give yourself a chance, and at the same time..." Regnar paused and said with a wry smile: "Also give me a chance. If you affect your practice of magic because of me, I may You will regret it for the rest of your life!”
Annelotte looked at Regnar, and finally put the Neptune Whale's Warcraft Crystal Core into her own space pocket.
Regnar couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. It's really troublesome, but just asking Anne to accept Malloryt's gift requires so much effort. Old man, if you want your daughter to recognize you, you may have to go through a lot of trouble!
But for now, it seems that as long as Annelotte can make the first concession, it will be good. Regnar said very happily: "With this, I'm afraid you will be able to enter the advanced level soon, right?"
"..." Annelotte rolled her eyes at Regnar, then closed her eyes.
Half a second later, a light blue magical halo enveloped the Frost Girl.
Regnar's eyes widened. He looked around Annelotte for a long time before he stammered: "This... this... this... this is a magic ring?!"
"That's right." Annelotte looked calm on the surface, but when she saw Regner's big mouth talking incoherently, the girl felt a little bit of pride and joy in her heart.
"When did you break through?" Regnar asked.
"A month ago, the Military Intelligence Office conducted a study on my attribute abilities in the past six months. Although there was not much progress in attribute abilities, it unexpectedly allowed me to break through to a high level." Annelotte said calmly.
"Hey! Uncle Alex is quite capable!" Regnar grinned.
"I have something to ask you," Annelotte said.
"What?"
"Sister Vera asked you to let Balor go, why did you kill him in the end?" Annelotte looked into Regner's eyes and asked quietly.
