Annelotte felt that she was light and airy now. Although her consciousness was still very clear, the blurred feeling of illusion and reality made her feel very... very strange.
Yes, it was just strange that this feeling didn't make her feel much discomfort. Annelotte guessed that she might be drunk, but seeing that Regnar beside her, who had drunk twice as much as she did, still looked normal, she wasn't sure if she was drunk.
Although there wasn't much expression on Regner's face, there seemed to be several burly men like Kordak playing drums "dong dong" in his heart.
Regnar was not stupid. He now understood Vera's good intentions to some extent. She probably wanted to enhance her relationship with Annelotte.
"But Sister Vera..." Regna thought to himself, somewhat dumbfounded: "Now I'm a little nervous because of you."
Regnar had spent some time with Annelotte before. Although it was a little awkward, after two days of adjustment, Regnar gradually got used to Annelotte's paralyzed face. At this time, after Vera's push, Regnar felt very embarrassed at this time.
It has to be said that Annelotte is a first-class beauty in both appearance and figure. Coupled with her aura as a genius magician, most men will be attracted to such a girl.
Regnar would never dare to say that he was an exception, but he also knew himself. He was just a kid who crawled out of the slums. He had no talent, no status, no money, and looks... Well, although Lei Gena felt that he was not bad looking, but his skinny and skinny body was a flaw.
Annelotte was not tall, but even so, Regner only reached up to her eyebrows. Such a skinny little kid... To be honest, Regner felt that he would not look down on him if he were a woman.
Therefore, Regnar did not have too many extravagant expectations. It was enough for him to be able to perform missions with such a beautiful girl and occasionally look at that breathtakingly beautiful face.
"Uh... are you okay?" The silent atmosphere made Regnar feel a little embarrassed, so he could only find something to say.
"Do I look strange?" Annelotte asked.
"No, it's just that your footsteps are a little different, as if you are drunk." Regnar said tentatively.
"Is this what it feels like to be drunk?" Annelotte rubbed her temples with her white fingers, and then said, "It's not as painful as people say."
"That's because you haven't drunk enough. If you drink more, you will feel uncomfortable. It will be very uncomfortable." Regner said. He still remembered the feeling of being hungover with Kordak before. That time the two of them drank With red faces and thick necks, no one was willing to admit defeat first, but the result was that they both suffered losses and had to squat in the toilet and vomit for half an hour.
"Really?" Annelotte touched her reddish cheeks. Snowflakes had started to fall in the sky at some point. However, due to her special constitution and the stimulation of alcohol, Annelotte did not feel cold. The cold snowflakes falling on her skin only gave her a refreshing feeling.
"It's snowing." Regnar looked at the sky. This time of year used to be his biggest headache every year, because the winter in Merindel was much colder than that in Falling Star City.
Whenever winter comes, orphans like him who are short of food and clothing will shiver in the endless cold wind, and look at those aristocratic sons in cotton-padded clothes with undisguised envy.
But now, Regnar's body is no longer so afraid of the cold due to the tempering of his fighting spirit. He finally had the mood to appreciate the pure and flawless beauty in the cold wind that once troubled him.
"Do you like snow very much?" Annelotte saw Regnar looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky in a daze, and she was a little curious about what the boy was thinking.
Normally, she would never ask boring questions because of these boring curiosities, but today, under the stimulation of alcohol, Annelotte was obviously more talkative.
few.
"Not really, but after all, this should be my first time to... um... enjoy such a scenery." Regnar said with a smile.
Annelotte didn't quite understand what Regner meant, but she suddenly realized her abnormality, so she didn't ask anything again.
"Is my boss's lifespan really that short?" Regnar swept the snowflakes from his hair.
"It shouldn't be too long." Annelotte said. When she used magic to examine Kordak, she found that the excitement level of this man's entire body tissues was incredibly high. They died, regenerated, died again, and regenerated again. .
Kordak's body was like a candle that was lit from beginning to end, burning extremely brightly but also extremely briefly.
"Is there anything you can do? Anything is fine." Even though Vera had already asked, Regner still felt that Annelotte might have some ideas.
Annelotte shook her head, then glanced at Regnar: "Anything is okay? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Regnar answered without hesitation. After a moment of silence, he said: "But my life was saved by the boss. No matter what, I can't just watch the boss die like this. He will drink The Fall of the Moon... I actually have a certain responsibility. So, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to face it. I think it's not just
Me, Sister Vera, will definitely be like this too. "
Although he didn't say it, Regner had always felt guilty towards Kordak and Vera. If he hadn't backed down at that time, Kordak would have been able to discuss a more reasonable and effective strategy with him. , then maybe Kordak would not be seriously injured, nor would he drink the moon and sink.
"Is this a companion?" Annelotte thought thoughtfully, thinking about the reactions of Regner and Vera when Kordak was stabbed by Alvin, combined with what Regner said.
"It can be said that I managed to become companions with them. I don't want to lose them no matter what." Regnar said seriously.
"..." Annelotte fell into silence. The feelings between Regnar and others were a bit strange to her.
Although she has lived in the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild for a long time and has come into contact with many people, the life and death brotherhood between superiors and subordinates, mercenaries, and those people has always been only orders and obedience, which is obviously beyond her understanding. .
"Are you studying with your teacher all day?" Sensing Annelotte's silence, Regnar was afraid that he might have said something he shouldn't have said, so
Change the subject quickly.
"Yes, practice casting movements and practice spells." Annelotte answered.
"Is it like this every day?" Regnar asked.
Annelotte thought for a while and then nodded. In addition to helping Villes handle things, Annelotte's previous life was almost filled with practicing magic.
Regnar let out a long "Oh" and showed an expression that said no wonder he was like this. In fact, he has always been wondering how Annelotte's paralyzed face and cold look came to be. Now he finally understands: If you only eat and sleep every day and study, and stay at home all day long without contact with the outside world, I'm afraid, So do you.
"What about you? How did you live before?" Annelotte asked. In fact, she was also an orphan. Without the support of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, I am afraid she would have lived a life like Regnar, so she didn't care about the life of an orphan. Still a little curious.
"Well... I have been living in the slums before. To put it simply, I am just eating and waiting to die." Regnar said with a silly grin. Although the life in the slums is full of misery and suffering, Regnar does not want to live in the slums. I am deliberately pretending to be pitiful and pouring out bitterness to Annelotte. After all, he is doing pretty well now, isn't he
Annelotte glanced at Regnar. She had also heard about the miserable life that orphans in this world lived, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her would brush aside all the bitterness of more than ten years in just one stroke. He said to himself with an idiotic smile, "I'll just eat and wait to die."
She suddenly found that she couldn't see through Regnar. This guy was obviously timid and cowardly, but he risked everything for something. This guy obviously had nothing, but he was often worried about gains and losses. This guy was obviously going through hardships, but he was able to laugh it all off.
The two fell into a long silence again. Regnar felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of silence. He glanced at Annelotte nervously and found that the girl beside him was not embarrassed by the silence at all.
Just as Regnar was preparing to say something to break the ice, Annelotte took the lead and said, "I'm here, thank you."
Regnar turned his head and suddenly realized that the two of them had reached their destination at some point. He originally planned to say a few polite words to Annelotte and then go back, but he suddenly changed his mind. He suddenly stiffly bowed slightly and bowed like a nobleman, and then said to him in a tone that he thought was elegant. Annelotte said: "It is an honor for me to travel with a beautiful lady like you."
Annelotte was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Regnar, turned around and walked in.
After watching helplessly that pretty figure disappear behind the door, Regnar turned around and left dejectedly.
The last move was just a whim, he wanted to behave more elegantly in front of Annelotte, at least not to let the girl think that he was really just a vulgar and dirty little brat. But it can be seen from Annelotte's strange expression that the pretense was a failure.
"Don't the nobles all play this trick? There should be no flaws..." Regnar scratched his head and muttered to himself.
Behind the door, Annelotte vaguely heard Regner's words, and her small and delicate lips slightly curved in an intoxicating arc.
