Boris suddenly noticed the temperature on his shoulders. When did Lott post it all over? How did I not realize it at all
The mage moved a little uncomfortably, and the two separated a little: "I don't think this is the time to talk about this..."
Lott was surprised and said: "What? I came in to chat with you, and you also told me a bitter past with special cooperation, and expressed your true inner feelings to me. I responded to this and imagined a bright future with you... Isn't this Did it go well? You actually said it wasn’t the time to talk about this? When was it then? Usually exchanging heart-to-hearts is the prelude to further development of the relationship, isn’t that what we are doing now?”
This time, Burris looked surprised. In theory, maybe this is true, but... most people don't seem to be able to directly state their purpose
"I... I don't know how to answer you," Burris decided to be honest, "I'm really not ready to talk about this, not to put you off. My lord, I have never met anyone who talks like you , when communicating with you, my IQ will drop rapidly... "
"Okay then," Lott nodded, "Maybe we need to divide our heart-to-heart talks, we can't talk too much at once."
Just as Boris was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lott happily suggested, "Then, as the staged end of the heart-to-heart talk, let's have a kiss."
As he said that, the hands that had been holding the mage's shoulders immediately changed positions and pressed down on the back of the mage's neck.
"What?" Boris managed to move a little distance silently, and now he was brought back into Lot's arms.
Lott further explained: "We have been busy these days, and finally had an in-depth emotional exchange. According to common sense, after such an exchange, two people must kiss, and it would be shameful not to kiss. "
"What kind of common sense is this?"
"This is common sense that you should have known long ago after living in your eighties."
Because that's how it's written in romance novels. The protagonists have to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk after going through some things together, and when they talk, they will kiss and even go one step further.
However, Low speculates that now is not the time to "go further." Kicking a door can scare Burris into a heart attack, and if he goes any further, he will be suffocated...
Moreover, Lott is self-aware, and he needs time himself.
"Why are you so stiff?" Lot frowned. "It's not the first time. You were very calm in the past few times. How come the more you kiss, the more shy you become?"
yes? why? I don't understand either? Burris couldn't help worrying that the "drop in IQ" might not be self-deprecating, and his IQ might have really dropped!
He stared stupidly, and quickly replayed the previous kisses in his mind: soul transfer, spell transfer, an inexplicable kiss in a small dark room... Thinking about it this way, they had indeed kissed many times.
What has never happened in eighty-four years has happened so many times in just over a month...
Thinking of this, Burris had the answer in his mind: when faced with new things suddenly, people often do not respond immediately. They haven't realized what happened, and even ignore the changes subconsciously, thinking that new things are just fleeting... When they find that their lives have really changed, they will be shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
Burris has seen many similar situations. For example, Deloitte, the current speaker of the Austrian Federation, married a historian many years ago. Then one day, she sighed to her colleagues: She was not nervous at all at the wedding, she just felt very happy and fresh at the wedding. After many days of marriage, she suddenly realized what an important vow she had made and what a responsibility she was facing. At this time, she was suddenly a little scared, and suddenly became nervous, as if entering the dusty and treasure-rich underground ruins for the first time.
Burris himself had a similar experience, such as when he first left the Gem Forest. He left the frosty plain and the rime forest alive, was not taken to the North Star City for trial, and temporarily settled down in another city... At this time, he should either be happy or worry about the future...but he didn't.
Later, he joined a caravan, responsible for identifying and sorting out spell and medicinal materials, and occasionally cooperated with a few mercenaries to earn a little money... At this time, he gradually fell into mixed joy and sorrow, and began to sigh under the tremendous pressure.
The same is true for Lott.
That kiss in the Swamp of the Dead was nothing. At that time, Burris used a bald and disabled body, and his mind was full of breaking the curse and fulfilling the promise. So what if Lord Skeleton kissed him? It was just a spell with a strange posture, and it belonged to an extremely special situation...
The kiss used to convey magic is nothing, it is also an extremely special situation, what is so great... At that time, Boris's heart echoed various awe-inspiring oaths: I once promised before the God of Arcane, I wish to respect magic as The only truth is that the worldly interests are second to none. If necessary, I can even sacrifice my soul, so why would I make such a fuss because of the special casting posture...
That kiss in the small black room of the post station... was nothing. Boris has been looking forward to the Lord of Skeletons coming to him, and when the Lord of Skeletons really comes, he is suspicious all day long. His suspiciousness was discovered by the Maharaja, and he was wronged at the time, so he had no choice but to indulge the Maharaja's waywardness.
Every time he judged it as "special circumstances". Every kiss he interpreted as "last resort".
It now appears that this line of thinking is wrong. Lotbald was absolutely serious, neither was he on a whim, nor was he deliberately looking at other people's embarrassment.
So Burris' IQ dropped. He couldn't make a qualified response... In fact, he didn't know what kind of response was qualified.
Seeing that Boris was silent and did not object, Lott pecked his forehead lightly first, and then happily kissed "must be done after an in-depth conversation".
In fact, not only Boris was embarrassed, Lott himself was also very nervous, and his reason told him: Boris actually liked him very much, not really hating him approaching; Boris was not made of ice, and would not melt just because he was hugged; A small animal the size of a palm will not die suddenly... But he is still quite nervous.
He has been imprisoned for so many years, and he can only be released for seven days every hundred years. Except for these seven days, he can only rely on the books he brought from the world to relieve his boredom.
Reading made countless desires pile up in his heart, and there were countless things he yearned for, but kisses were never included. Island exploration or dog sledding is much more fun than "kissing" in the book. He had always thought so.
Until more than sixty years ago, he met the crying little mage.
"The one just now was the kiss after the conversation, and this one is the good morning kiss." After Lot finished speaking, he put his lips together again.
"What..." Burris' question was blocked in his mouth. Every heartbeat turned into a "what to do", asking him non-stop.
God of Arcana, the good morning kiss on the bed? This has gone beyond the category of ambiguity, and belongs to the level of conclusive evidence...
Not long ago, he passed a baking workshop in Dongqing Village and saw a trainee soldier of the village guard kissing the workshop owner's daughter.
The soldier looked fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and the little girl was probably only thirteen or fourteen. They hugged each other in the street, kissed like no one else was there, and kissed for several seconds, looking quite skilled.
Why do children learn this so quickly
Eighty-four-year-olds can't do it. When Lott kissed him, Burris stiffened almost to the point of self-blame.
Many people say that if you want to learn more, you have to take advantage of your young age. Children can learn everything quickly, but adults can't do it. They can't even memorize a few short poems.
Burris has always disagreed with this view. You can't learn it because you don't want to learn that much at all. For a healthy person, your brain obeys your consciousness. If your consciousness is tired and does not urge your brain to turn at all, then of course it will not turn. Mages are constantly learning new knowledge all their lives. I have never seen an adult mage say that I can no longer remember spells when I am old.
At the same time, Burris has always believed that things related to the mind can be learned forever, but not related to the body!
Like fencing. If you're an old clerk who hasn't even held a kitchen knife, it's unlikely you'll learn fencing in your seventies. Unless you have been a warrior since childhood, then maybe you can be majestic at seventy.
Kissing is a physical activity like fencing, so teenagers can learn it quickly, but it is difficult for an eighty-four-year-old mage to adapt.
Lott looked at the mage amusedly: "Why do you have an expression as if you have penetrated a major secret? What did you think of?"
"Do I have it?" Burris subconsciously touched his face.
"I know you're in a complicated mood now." Lot leaned back on the head of the bed, his fingers still curling the ends of Burris's hair, and the distance between the two of them finally opened a little, "Your heart is very contradictory, and this contradiction You're an aging, well-known archmage, you don't want to be cringe-worthy, you laugh at yourself, you question your social experience even when no one else is watching... but you can't help it Cringe, you do shy, you do get hot in the face, you even feel a little scared. You can't deny these feelings. It's okay, you remember, you're twenty years old now! And there's only me in front of you, no one else .No one will laugh at you, no one will question you."
Speaking of this, Lott stopped and thought for a while, and when he spoke again, there was an unconcealable smile in his voice: "What I said earlier is to enlighten you, so that you don't feel too uncomfortable. As for my real thoughts... Actually I hope you keep the status quo. I like you just like this, and you can even be a little softer and a little more timid, and I will be very happy."
Burris was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb, and he was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
Every time he heard Lord Skeleton talking like this, he would have the illusion of seeing someone running naked in the street. Now this person not only ran naked, but even rushed to take off other people's clothes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, which was regarded as saving the overwhelmed mage. Lott jumped to the window to look around for a while, then turned around excitedly: "It seems that the red vulture has escaped!"
"The knights of the prince's territory are really powerful, so many people can't look down on a warlock..." Boris frowned and wanted to get off the bed, but Lot held his shoulder.
"Go ahead and rest," Lott said, "I'll just go and help them. If you need to cast a spell, just bring black pine, and you don't have to work so hard."
Burris thought for a while: "My lord, if you catch him..."
"Don't worry! I only help, not kiss him."
After finishing speaking, Lord Skeleton jumped out of the window directly.
