It was a vast green grassland, and the breeze blew slowly on the grassland, bringing up waves of green. The sun is bright, and its light is warm and genial, making people feel neither hot nor cold.
But there were bursts of muffled sounds on this endless grassland. They surge like rivers and roll like thunder. On the distant horizon where green and sky meet, a burst of earthy yellow smoke slowly rose.
what is that? To actually have such momentum? Closer, closer, Regnar finally saw the essence of the smoke clearly. It was a group of galloping beasts, numbering tens of thousands. They looked more like sheep than sheep, more like horses than horses, and even looked somewhat similar to camels. place.
Yes, they are a group of grassland horses, and we can regard this grassland as Regnar's heart.
Naturally, the scene described above could not have been witnessed by Regnar who was drinking all kinds of meat and vegetables at Gerhardt's house, but it was an unusually true reflection of Regnar's state of mind at that time.
Ten thousand grass-mud horses roaring and galloping, what kind of magnificent and thrilling scene would it be? But all this was just Regner's mental activity. In fact, when Gerhart said the last words, the scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.
For Gerhart, his two sisters are the two most important people in his life, and they are the two people he must take care of no matter what. In this world, girls as young as eleven or twelve have reached the age of engagement. Gerhardt never thought of betraying his sister to gain any benefit. Therefore, finding a safe and reliable man as a home for his sister has become a worry for him in the past few months.
Now he suddenly reunited with Regnar. This guy was not only his benefactor, but he also showed amazing strength in the hunter team. What's this? Isn't this the reliable man he is looking for
Therefore, Gerhardt immediately felt that Regner's arrival was as timely and precious as providing help in times of need. This was why he had been trying his best to invite Regnar and others to his home. If Regnar doesn't object, then the matter will be settled! In this way, Gerhardt not only repaid Regnar's past kindness by becoming Regnar's matchmaker, but also relieved himself of his own worries and found a reliable family for his sister. Naturally, he was extremely enthusiastic about such a thing that could kill two birds with one stone, so while he was still drunk, Gerhard took the liberty to make such a suggestion here.
Looking at Gerhardt's two younger sisters, these two little girls are already in their teens, which is the age when love begins. Although I am somewhat curious about things like love between men and women, I don’t have much idea of autonomy. So Minnie and Inelise, who were accustomed to their brother's arrangements, naturally didn't have much say in this matter. It's just that both of them had slightly red faces and looked a little shy.
Then there are Kordak and Vera. These two mercenary partners can be said to have almost achieved success in the past two years. As the eldest brother and eldest sister, the two of them naturally have an emotional experience with their younger brother Regnar... We can't say that they are extremely gossipy, but we want to say that they are extremely concerned... Yes, extremely concerned.
The two of them naturally knew about Regnar's little thoughts in the past two years and had some guesses, but they couldn't tell how strong Regnar's feelings for Annelotte were. On the other hand, Annelotte's personality has indeed become less lively in the mercenary team in the past two years. But the girl's hard and cold personality, which is as hard as thousand-year-old ice, cannot be transformed by a kid like Regnar in a year or two, so the two of them are naturally not particularly optimistic about Regnar. Seeing someone taking the initiative to embrace him, the eldest brother and eldest sister were naturally curious about how this little brother would respond. For a moment, the soul of gossip burned extremely hot.
Then came Annelotte. The girl's face was still expressionless. She didn't even blink when she heard Gerhardt's words. As for what exactly is in Annelotte’s mind? Hehe, there is a song called "Don't guess what a girl is thinking." Don't guess, none of the people present, including Vera, had any clues.
Finally, there is our client, Regner. This guy's state of mind at that time is actually easy to describe. In four words, it can be described as a galloping horse. Yes, this kid was instantly killed by Gerhart's last words. Now his head is covered with fog, and there is nothing but ten thousand galloping grass and mud horses in front of him.
Seeing the wine table fall into silence, Gerhart also knew that what he said was indeed a bit sudden. He smiled awkwardly: "Hey, this is indeed a bit sudden, but I am serious. I hope Reg Brother Na, can you think about it?"
Regnar was stunned for a full ten seconds, and then he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahahahahahahaha, Jehart, you are really good at talking. This, this... right! This..."
While Regnar was speaking indiscriminately, he secretly glanced at Annelotte. When he saw that the girl's expression was as usual, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. But soon he returned to normal and continued to smile: "I am a mercenary. I fight and kill all day long. I may die one day. You leave such a beautiful and capable sister to me." But it’s definitely a loss-making deal! Okay, I haven’t thought about this aspect yet, so let’s not talk about it for now!”
"No matter what, I think Brother Regnar, you are a very reliable man. Well... If you change your mind in the next few days, I will not refuse. Brother, please think about it again." Gerhart also knows this. He couldn't force it anymore, so he didn't force Regnar to make an immediate decision.
"Am I reliable? You kid really misjudged me. I can't even guarantee my own life now!" Regnar thought sadly. He originally just wanted to live out his life in peace, but maybe due to fate, this thing that was originally within easy reach of ordinary people always seemed so out of reach to him.
Then the lively atmosphere in the wine place returned to its original state, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the weird atmosphere just now. But in fact, a turbulent undercurrent is flowing under this warm surface.
"Are you angry? My brother is actually doing this for your own good." Gerhart whispered to Minnie and Inelise while picking up the vegetables.
"No, Minnie knows that brother is for our own good, and that big brother Regnar is not annoying either..." Minnie replied with a blushing face, and Inelis beside her also nodded.
"The sisters are so good!" Gerhart touched their little heads lovingly, and then he whispered to Regnar quietly during the toast: "Brother, you have fallen in love with Miss Annelotte, right?"
Regnar, who was drinking, spat in Gerhart's face. He coughed and lowered his voice and explained hurriedly: "No, no, where did you go? Annie and I are just companions."
"Come on, open your mouth, Annie, shut up Annie. You're being called so affectionate and you still don't admit it? If you react like this to my brother, you'll know there's something going on in your heart." Gerhart wiped his face with a tissue nonchalantly, and then put on one too. With a mean expression: "Hey, brother, you really have good taste. If it were me, I would naturally reject others for Miss Annelotte."
Regnar simply stopped explaining for fear that the description would get darker. He also put on a YD expression and said: "Hey, it's not that I don't like your two sisters, it's just that I can't protect myself right now. If I can After solving these things, can your sister leave one for me?"
"No problem, no problem!" Gerhart's chest was beating loudly.
After hearing this, Regnar's expression became indescribably wretched, and he continued, "Keep both of them for me?"
"Get out! No dwarf is as greedy as you!"
"Nima, I'm your eldest brother, how could I harm my eldest brother like this?"
"Then if you really get together with my sister, I won't be your brother-in-law anymore? Right? Brother-in-law?"
“…”
On the other side, Vera and Kordak have been communicating with their eyes.
Vera winked at Kordak. She looked at Regner and then at Annelotte. Her meaning was very clear: "Xiao Lei still can't let go of Anne."
Kordak frowned, and then patted his chest: "That's right, we men are very dedicated in our love."
Vera used body language again, only this time she spat directly on the ground. Then Vera turned to Annelotte and asked tentatively: "Well, how do you feel now?"
Annelotte glanced at Vera lightly, and then said: "Sister Vera, if you are asking how you feel about what happened just now, then I can only say that I don't feel anything, because it has nothing to do with me."
Vera smiled slyly: "Hehe, Annie, you've been exposed! I never explained what I was asking you about."
Annelotte: "..."
"Hey, let's talk to sister. How is it? It seems like you don't hate Regnar either." Vera winked.
"I have never hated him, otherwise I would not continue to be a mercenary in this team."
"Huh? So you like it?"
“…”
Seeing that Annelotte remained silent, Vera didn't ask any more questions. She just gave her last advice: "Annie, there's nothing wrong with letting others know a little bit about your thoughts. Don't always hold back some things alone. , otherwise the only one who will suffer is myself, oh, and maybe Xiao Lei."
"..." Annelotte looked at Vera and Kordak, who looked gossipy, and suddenly wondered whether she was joining a mercenary team or a paparazzi.
This dinner took a very long time, and all three men were so drunk that they were tongue-tied and top-heavy. But there is no doubt that this is a release of high-pressure emotions for several days.
Gerhat drunkenly directed his two sisters to prepare beds for the guests.
Regnar was so drunk that he felt a short figure helping him onto the bed. He mumbled something unclear, but when the person was about to leave, Regna suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Irene, don't leave, okay Irene, I will protect you. I will protect you even if I risk my life. Don't worry, I won't let you be bullied anymore." Regnar closed his eyes and felt a little confused. Whimpering and talking drunkenly.
Inelise was startled. She wanted to run away, but the strength in Regnar's hand was beyond what a little girl like her could break free from.
