Chapter 84

Doron did not answer right away, but glanced at Lance secretly. Most of the things he would say to Erlande now were related to the forces of light. Now that there is a priest sitting here, it doesn't look like It looks very convenient.

Ordinary people, if they are a little more sensible, they will get up and leave immediately. After all, although Lance has been living in Fort Collins for a while, he is still a guest after all, so it is not good to stay here all the time.

But obviously this man didn't have this concept at all. He just sat there with a smile, and had no intention of leaving at all. His upright look made it difficult for Duo Lun to say what he originally wanted to avoid.

But the matter this time is indeed of great importance. If you don't say it, I'm afraid it will be too late after a while.

"This priest, Your Highness and I have something to say, can you..." Duo Lun has given Lance a lot of face. Most people will leave voluntarily when they hear this. After all, the other party is already so polite, and he has already estimated him face.

But Lance was not an ordinary person, so he pretended not to understand, and said to Doron with a smile, "It's okay, you say what you want, I won't interrupt."

Duo Lun: ... What a shameless person!

He is worried that he will interrupt, but there are many things that are inconvenient for him to listen to!

At this time, Erlande also felt Doron's seriousness, and turned to look at Lance, so he saw a very exciting "face changing".

I saw that there was a modest smile on Lance's face, which made people look like a spring breeze, but the moment Erlande looked over, the corners of his mouth began to droop slightly, forming an arc of grievance , those sea-blue eyes were still blinking innocently, filled with grievances, as if Erlande was about to do something very cruel next.

For a moment, Erlande felt that he had the urge to touch his forehead, no, it should be said that he now felt that his brain was hurting!

He was sure that he and Lance hadn't known each other for a long time, and the two of them didn't have any deep friendship. Although he agreed to let Lance sponsor here, and sometimes the two of them chatted casually, there was no particularly close relationship.

Is it really good for this person to look at him with such aggrieved and pitiful eyes now!

"I really won't interrupt, let alone make trouble." That aggrieved look is like a big dog being reprimanded by its owner, and people can't help but want to reach out to help him smooth his hair. Now Ailan De has a weird feeling.

It's... hell!

"You go back first." Now that Lance is not going to leave now, there are some things that are really not suitable to say now, so Duo Lun can only go back first.

And after Doron left, Lance felt a little unhappy because Erlande didn't want him to listen to the conversation between them.

He knew that what those two people were talking about would not be a personal matter, but he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was an outsider!

Obviously, he forgot that to Erlande, he was just a stranger.

Erlande has lived for an unknown number of years. For ordinary people, a month or two is considered continuous time, but for Erlande, this is just a moment in his long life. .

A person who was only suitable for him for a short time, how could he treat that person as a friend, or even have a closer relationship

"Irland, do you... hate me?" Looking at the person who was sitting gracefully on the sofa, holding a goblet slowly shaking the red wine in his hand, Lance felt a little uncomfortable.

Hate

Erlande frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head. Although this person is sometimes clingy, he is far from annoying, at least not to him.

"Won't."

Hearing what Elland said, Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was a little bit aggressive during this period of time, but when he thought that there was a male named Salman beside him, he felt a little nervous. Discomfort, especially since the male creature had been in Alan's life before him.

"Then you... do you like me?" When asking this question, Lance was a little nervous. He hoped to get a positive reply from Erlande, but it was impossible to think about it.

Sure enough, just as Lance imagined, Erlande suddenly smiled, "How long have we known each other, and how did we fall in love with each other? It's just that I don't hate you at first."

Eland didn't think about this so-called liking in that direction, but just thought it was a liking between friends.

"It's not short, it's not a month..." At this point, Lance was also taken aback, and then he smiled wryly, yes, he had forgotten that the person in front of him is a vampire, not a human being. For them, There is no difference between a day, a month, or even a year, because in their eyes it is just turning around and instant.

The words did not continue, but now Lance has understood his mind. This month is nothing to Erlande, but it is enough for him to be sure of everything.

In the past, no one could touch his heart, and Erlande was the first one, and he believed that he would be the only one.

If he is really a devout believer, he may be entangled and painful because he fell in love with someone who shouldn't fall in love.

But he is not, he just lives for himself, and he joined the church because he was bored.

The one who came to him that day was a deacon of the Holy See. He said that he should enter the church because he has a powerful light in him, so he joined the church; if a vampire appeared in front of him at that time, he said he should He is a loyal servant of the devil, maybe he will accept it too.

Because in his heart, all this is meaningless, no, perhaps it should be said that he has never found the meaning of his existence before meeting Eland.

And when that person appeared in front of him, he felt that he had found the only light in his life and the only meaning of existence.

He didn't believe in love at first sight, but when he appeared in front of him, everything became so natural, as if he had been waiting for something, and the moment Eland appeared, he only had that kind of "ah , that’s him, this is the person I’ve been waiting for” feeling.

No repulsion, no disgust, just joy.

"What?" Feeling that Lance hadn't finished what he wanted to say, Erlande couldn't help asking.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to ask if you have time tomorrow." Now that Lance has understood his thoughts, he naturally won't waste his time so much. Now that he has understood his thoughts, he might as well start his Pursue big plans!

The sudden change of topic made Erlande a little overwhelmed. After a while, he shook his head, "I'm going to inspect the property tomorrow morning, and I'll be fine in the afternoon."

"Do you mind if I go with you?" Lance asked, and then said, "We're friends, so I want to know you a little bit better."

Erlande thought about it, those properties are all on the bright side, and there is nothing to be ashamed of, so it doesn't matter if you take him there, as he said, they are friends, and he really doesn't need to be on guard everywhere with him.

001: Master host, you really underestimated this man with a beastly face, you have to know, this man will do anything to achieve his goals!

Receiving a positive answer from Ireland, Lance put a smile on his face, and the two chatted for a few words before going back to the room to rest.

Lance got up very early the next morning, and even tidied up his appearance deliberately. Although it was still the priest's black robe, for some reason, John always felt that the man who usually looked very serious, now With a very rippling breath.

There is a kind of... an indescribable sense of disobedience.

"My lord, are you going to inspect the property again today?" Counting today's day, Salman's tone is very brisk, and even his eyes are a little smug, because the last time Erlande inspected the property, it was Salman who followed him. By his side, he believed that the adults would still let him go with him now.

"Yes." To Salman's surprise, the person who answered him was not Eland but Lance, "Eland has promised me to take me to see and see."

Immediately, Salman scolded Lance for being shameless in his heart. It's fine for him to stay here as an outsider. What is he going to do now!

However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to say anything now. After all, the most authoritative person in Fort Collins was Erlande. Now that Erlande acquiesced in the existence of Lance, other people would be meaningless.

"Master, the car is ready and ready to leave at any time." After breakfast, John and Erlande confirmed everything was ready and sent the two of them away.

After the two of them got into the car, they were very quiet, which surprised Erlande a little. In the past, Lance would always find something to chat with him in the car. Why is it so quiet today

And after Erlande turned his head, he saw Lance's troubled face.

"What?" It's really rare to be able to make this man tangled up!

"Irland, your...well, that Salman, is he prejudiced against me? I always feel that he is a little hostile to me." Lance's tone was a little lost, "Did I disturb you too much during this time?" , made him feel a little annoying?"

This question stunned Erlande for a moment, and then frowned involuntarily.

There seems to be something really wrong with that little pet. If Lance didn't say anything, he hasn't noticed it yet. Speaking of it now, he feels that that little pet seems to have been hostile to Lance from the very beginning. Could it be...

"You two met before?" Is there something dirty between them

"No, I promise that we met for the first time at Mrs. Holman's banquet." As for whether Salman knew him before, it has nothing to do with him.

If that's the case...then why is Salman hostile to Lance

"He... doesn't seem to like me living in Fort Collins very much." Lance said hesitantly, as if he wasn't sure.

But Erlande recalled a little bit, and it seems that it is indeed the case. Although Salman was somewhat hostile to Lance when he first visited, it was not particularly obvious, otherwise, he would not have failed to notice it.

But now, Salman's hostility has made it easy for him to find out. It seems... just like what Lance said, the other party didn't really want Lance to appear in Fort Collins.

"I am the owner of Fort Collins. As for him," Erlande chuckled lightly, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain, "I agree that he can appear in Fort Collins. If I were different, he would not have stayed. qualifications!"

Eland doesn't hate this little pet, but the premise is that this pet must be well-behaved and cute. If he wants to get something that doesn't belong to him, then he is not eligible to stay!

Hearing such words, Lance showed a comfortable smile, and then began to find some topics to chat with Erlande one by one.

As for the matter of putting eye drops on the "rival in love" just now, hehe, as long as he doesn't say anything, no one will know.

Isn't it the right thing to stab a "rival in love" in the back

Anyway, he feels that he has done nothing wrong. When dealing with enemies, especially rivals in love, he must kill his rivals in the cradle as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.

So today, such a thing happened.

There is such a gossip among the internal staff in all the industries that Erlande has inspected.

That is—their Lord Duke has a suitor, and the suitor's gender is male! ! !

This... This news caught people off guard. They found out that their beloved Duke had been snatched away by a big bad wolf that jumped out of nowhere without the slightest precaution!

Lance's first style of chasing his wife: Participate in his lover's life, slowly infiltrate into his circle, let him get used to himself unconsciously.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this way of chasing his wife, and it can even be said to be quite well thought out.

only…

Sir Lance Broad, are you really slowly infiltrating into the opponent's circle

It was as if a disaster-like storm had swept through his circle of life, invading with a force that could not be ignored.

Of course, no matter what, it has become a matter of thought for him to appear beside Erlande now. Of course, this can be regarded as something to be happy about.

After dealing with everything in the morning, Erlande was not in a hurry to go home in the afternoon, but followed Lance's suggestion and went out for a walk.

It was only later that he realized that, as Lance said, he no longer knew this country or this city.

Time has never had any meaning to them. To humans, time means the countdown of life, but to them, it is just a meaningless accumulation of numbers. This also makes him forget that ten years and one hundred years are enough Let the city undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Suddenly I feel... I don't seem to understand this world anymore." Because he has no concept of time, his understanding of this world is static.

"It's okay, I will watch with you in the future," Lance looked at some lonely people, not knowing how to express his feelings, "I will accompany you in a chair in the future!"

This answer stunned Erlande for a moment, and then he chuckled, "Even so, how long can you stay with me?"

It's not that no one has said this sentence, it's just that there is only one John by his side for thousands of years.

This sentence made Lance not know how to answer. After all, he was only a person, and he couldn't even be embraced because of the power of light in his body.

He is not afraid of losing the sunshine, because this person is all his light, but he can't do it if he wants to accompany him in the dark forever.

"Forever," was the only answer he could give, "as long as I live, I will never leave!"

forever...

Can he really accept such a heavy promise

Accepting Lance's life means that he also has to give his own life. When Lance's life is over, what will he do

Erlande didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head. Such a commitment was too heavy, and he couldn't bear it now.

No, perhaps it should be said that in the face of Lance, he has not yet had the determination to accept, and then experience the loneliness for half a lifetime alone after losing.

Lance's second style of chasing his wife: give him what he wants most, and give him a single promise to the lonely.

It's just a pity that Eland doesn't seem to want this promise very much. All in all, it's a sad reminder.

In one afternoon, neither of them proposed to go home. Instead, they wandered around the city, and they didn't go home until evening.

Back home, John had already prepared dinner, and Salman sat alone at the table waiting for the two to come back.

"My lord, you are back." Hearing the familiar footsteps, Salman immediately got up, and greeted those who had gone out for a day with a smile on his face.

But Lance felt more and more upset. Although he didn't know the reason, he could feel that Salman's feelings for Erlande seemed to be getting stronger day by day, which was not a good thing for Lance.

Now Salman is just a potential rival in love, but if things go on like this, no one can guarantee whether this person will become a real rival in love.

After hearing what he said, Erlande nodded noncommittally, then handed over the coat and cloak to John, and walked to the table to prepare for the meal.

"Father Brod, you have been here for a long time, will the church..." Could it be something? He didn't say anything, but he gave more associations.

Moreover, man, there is just such a habit of not thinking about the good, and always like to plan for the worst when doing things. He said that, how could Lance worry about what happened to the church.

"Your Excellency can rest assured that I am just a priest, and the church will not have any problems due to the temporary disappearance, but..." Lance glanced at Salman, frowned slightly, and said in a hesitant tone, "Your Excellency seems to be very upset. Willing to let me live here, is there anything wrong with me?"

After Salman heard this, his face paled instantly.

Isn't what he said just to say that he is overstepping his position and wants to drive away his guests for the lord

No, don't let adults misunderstand!

Thinking of this, Salman took a few deep breaths, and then carefully explained to Erlande, "My lord, I don't want the priest of Pineapple to leave, I just think that being a priest should be very busy, and now he unexpectedly So leisurely, it seems...something is wrong."

It is said that when things go wrong, there must be demons. It is indeed not right for Lance Broad to appear here all day as a priest, and, "My lord, I am worried about your safety."

This is Fort Collins, which is the private territory of the Cumberland family. It is naturally safe, but it is not impossible for someone inside to sneak in here.

"Can't you let me finish my dinner quietly?" Seeing the two people "arguing endlessly", for the first time, he was even a little angry.

And Lance found that Eland seemed a little unhappy, he just smiled and returned to his actions, looking at Eland with a smile.

As for Salman, his eyes are filled with dissatisfaction. After this person appeared, the adult's attention is more and more on this person!

Lance's third style of chasing his wife: must spare no effort to attack the rival in love, put eye drops on the rival in love, so that the position of the rival in love will become lower and lower in the heart of the lover.

Generally speaking, the implementation of this item is not bad, at least now when he is qualified, Eland's impression of Salman is extremely bad.

This is Fort Collins, which is considered his territory, and there are people who over and over again overstepped the mark on his territory. How could he like the people who looked at him so early.

Moreover, Lance was still his friend, one of the few friends he could not talk to, so when he wanted to stay, Erlande agreed immediately, after all, it was only a short period of time.

And as time went by, his impression of Lance got better and better. Although he didn't say it, Dan actually didn't feel bad about having such a person by his side.

What they didn't know was that there was a kitten fluttering its small wings in mid-air where they couldn't see, watching every move of those people below.

It is the system 001 that Lin Zisheng is bound to. During this time, because this world is a punishment world, it has become extremely fragile. If the host is allowed to contact him at will, it may really cause the space to collapse!

He saw clearly what happened today, so when he looked at Lance, his eyes were filled with disdain!

This wolf with a big tail can pretend every day. It is obviously a well-dressed beast, but when it is in front of its owner, it always looks like a big dog, not a wild beast that is hard to find.

If nothing else, let's just talk about what happened today. Some of his calm actions will make people suspect that there may not be any special relationship between the two people here.

However, he still doesn't accept the hero's thick skin somewhat. Although his skin was not thin at the beginning, it has become even worse now.

It has to be said that such shamelessness is also a state, and 001 is willing to bow down.
