Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and Regnar and Annelotte had already gathered together.
Regnar looked at Annelotte, who was as elegant and quiet as a lily not far away, and couldn't help but smile. He remembered that the first time he had a good chat with Annelotte was also on such a quiet snowy night.
At that time, Regnar was just a timid and powerless little kid who had just entered the mercenary industry. And now he has become a mature young man in charge of the intelligence lifeline of the Hawke Empire, and has become the terrifying assassin-Dark Elegy that everyone talks about.
At that time, Annelotte was just a girl carrying the president's instructions. She simply wanted to carry out the tasks assigned to her by the president. However, she never imagined that her thoughts would gradually change during the long period of getting along with him. She is no longer a cold girl like a machine, but a person with her own thoughts and desires, a real person.
Annelotte made Regnar a success, allowing this immature and timid boy to gradually grow into a young man full of courage and strength. And Regnar also made Annelotte a success, turning this cold girl into a lively and spiritual girl.
Although now, she has lost most of her memories... But Regner believes that some things will never be lost forever with the loss of memories.
Regnar sighed as he walked to Annelotte's side. He scratched his head like a young man who was late for a date, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm late. I've been waiting for a long time, right? I'm really sorry for making you wait so long in such a cold weather."
"You should know that ordinary cold is of no use to me. And..." Annelotte's eyes showed a bit of contempt, and she continued: "If you want to imitate the scene that happens when a male and female couple are dating, then I will destroy this atmosphere directly for you to see!"
"Okay, okay, you win..." Regnar smiled bitterly and raised his hands in surrender.
"No need to talk nonsense, let's go quickly!" Annelotte ignored Regner and walked to the west gate on her own.
…
After the two people arrived at the west gate, they left the city easily after a brief interrogation by the guards. They walked some distance, and after confirming that they had walked out of Merinder's space interference circle, Annelotte stopped.
"Stand here and don't move!" Annelotte said coldly. Now that we are out of the city gate, it would be faster to use the teleportation technique. She knows the small lake on the outskirts of Ximen. If you simply walk, it will probably take a long time.
"Hey..." Regnar stood there obediently.
Then Annelotte frowned, because if the teleportation spell wanted to carry someone else, it had to have physical contact with that target. Annelotte reluctantly stretched out her little hand, and Regnar held it firmly.
When the two palms came into contact, Annelotte's muscles visibly tensed up. But she quickly controlled herself. The Frost Girl quickly cast a spell, and two seconds later, they appeared directly at the lakeside.
"It seems the boss hasn't arrived yet!" Regnar looked around and saw that the lake was not too big and was surrounded by bare plains without many trees. Although it was snowing quite a bit now, Regnar, as a shadow dancer, had good night vision, so he could still see the surrounding environment clearly. He did not notice Kordak's tall body.
"Then let's wait here." Annelotte casually waved a spell to blow away the snow on a big rock, and then sat on it.
Regnar came over, and then silently started pushing the snow aside next to Annelotte. In fact, he could blow the snow clean with his fighting spirit, but Regner was a thief. He knew Annelotte's character, so he deliberately didn't do it.
As expected, Annelotte couldn't bear to see Regnar working silently. She waved another gust of wind and blew away Regna's side.
Regnar smiled as if his little conspiracy had succeeded, and then sat down, right back to back with the Frost Girl.
Annelotte turned her head and brushed the snowflakes above her head. Although as a waterbender, Annelotte couldn't catch a cold or catch a cold. But it would be very uncomfortable if the snowflakes melted into water on your robe. So Annelotte put up a low-level force field shield to prevent all the flying snow from falling.
Regnar looked at it but remained silent. He braved the wind and snow and tried his best to shake off the snow on his body. He also shivered from time to time as if he felt cold. In fact, with his current strength, how could ordinary cold have any impact on him
Annelotte listened to Regna's trembling voice, and finally sighed as if she had given up: "Is this how you used my sympathy in the first place?"
"..." Regnar's trembling body froze for a moment, and then he showed a calm smile. This guy no longer made any pretense of trembling. He slightly stimulated his fighting spirit, shook away the snow all over his body, and then said: "You are only half right."
"half?"
"You have always been a very sympathetic person." Regnar recalled the past, and then said slowly: "But I have never taken advantage of this in you. Maybe you have really sympathized with me. But I have not taken advantage of it. But, at least, I have never thought of using it to do anything selfish, I swear on this."
"..." Annelotte looked back and saw snow falling on Regnar again. She recited two spells and added a force field shield to him. After doing all this, Annelotte continued: "What exactly happened in our past?"
"..." Regnar fell silent after hearing Annelotte's question. After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "You... really don't remember anything?"
"I don't quite understand what I was thinking at that time." Annelotte frowned, as if she was trying to remember something: "Everyone is obviously talking about the relationship between you and me... that way. But I I don’t understand, if it was someone who was really important to me. Why didn’t I back up more memories at that time? If it was someone who was really important, I would try my best to keep all the memories about that person in my head. Right? But now, except for a few labels and a few important memory points, I don’t have any other memories of you. This makes me very confused. "
"So, you think everyone else is lying to you?" Regnar smiled a little bitterly. He finally understood why Annelotte had been treating him badly. Without any memory, he is just like a stranger, right
If such a person suddenly jumped out and told you that I am the most important person to you and you are almost becoming my wife, would you be willing to accept him? No normal woman would be willing, right? And if she had Annelotte's personality, it wouldn't be abnormal to have her face covered with a fireball, right
Thinking of this, Regnar couldn't help but wonder why Annelotte didn't do this. In fact, Annelotte herself didn't know the reason.
"I know you are not lying." Annelotte shook her head and said with some pain, "But I just can't accept it. At least now, I can't accept it."
"I can understand, it's not your fault, Annie." Regnar's heart twitched slightly, but he still spoke to comfort him: "As I said before, just act according to your own wishes. I'm confident , if I can make you like me once, then I am confident that I can make you like me a second time, or a third time!”
"..." Annelotte's face turned red when she heard this. She turned around and said angrily: "Who likes you?!"
"Hmph!" Regnar also turned around and said with a rogue expression: "Annie, you have no memory now, so of course you don't know. In fact, you liked to stick to me before you lost your memory. You have to follow me when I go on a mission!"
"That's because you are too weak. I'm worried that you will die during the mission." Annelotte exposed Regnar coldly.
"Hey! Now I'm particularly curious about what is backed up in your memory! How can you remember these things so clearly?!" Regnar said almost wailing.
"I...how do I know?" Annelotte's face turned red again.
In fact, she knew this reason. Because before he lost his memory, he put many labels on Regnar, and the first label among them was: "Needs Protection". And as if out of fear that she would not believe it later, Annelotte's memory stored many clips of Regnar being beaten.
For example, the time Yi Ni's house was besieged and dripping with blood, and the time he was beaten up by him in the martial arts competition, and... the miserable appearance of his body covered with scars and unconscious after being caught by the Red Flame Magician.
"Protect him?" Although Annelotte didn't quite understand why she put this label at the top of all the labels at that time. But she still felt like following her previous will.
"..." The two of them fell into an awkward silence again. Reg was puzzled for a long time, and finally cleared his throat and said, "Uh-huh! Annie, haven't you forgotten a lot of memories about me?"
"That's right." Annelotte was still back to back with Regnar, and she said, "Compared to Ini, Irene, and my father, the memory I have about you is not even a quarter of theirs."
"In that case." Regnar suggested: "Since there is nothing to do now, how about I tell you what happened before?"
"..." Annelotte hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Okay."
But the Frost Girl added: "But you can't just make it up!"
"Don't worry! Don't you know my character? If I want to do business, I must be an honest and honest businessman!" Regnar slapped his chest loudly.
Annelotte thought about the profiteer nature that Regnar had shown to Joffrey before, and then she made up her mind to listen to everything Regnar said next as a novel.
But Regner did not lie. He tried his best to tell the story according to the facts. He hoped to awaken Annelotte's memory in this way, but after telling the story about the trip to the frozen snow-capped mountains, Annelotte did not start having a headache like the amnesiac characters in other stories, and then suddenly regain all her memories.
She just responded lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Regnar sighed in disappointment, and then prepared to continue telling what happened to Fars and the Mystic Eye Mage Association at that time.
But at this moment, a tall figure appeared from the vague darkness in the distance.
