Chapter 82 82: True Partner

Author: I really want to eat meat 597

While Angie was smiling and keeping her head down in silence, Scott felt very guilty in his heart.

He found that he seemed to always say too many words accidentally in front of this girl.

Although Anji is very precocious, as an elder in his forties, he really shouldn't let this child bear these heavy things alone.

Anji's performance seemed very calm, but very uncool - normal people would not laugh when they knew that they were being used from beginning to end.

There seems to be some madness and self-deprecation hidden in her smiles.

The dull sound of thunder came intermittently from the distance, and the annoying sound of rain showed no sign of weakening.

Under depressing conditions both indoors and outdoors, Scott thought of the past events related to Angie, sighed softly, and couldn't help but ramble on a few words:

"After you were brought back to the castle, I asked Lord Slade to show mercy to you - because that would be after Hardfer's betrayal, and you were from Grand Village, so even if

You are a rare good prospect, and I am not sure whether she will spare your life..."

After hearing this story that she didn't know, Anji came back from her thoughts, looked up at the other person, and said thank you sincerely.

Then, Angie recalled the scene of her first conversation with Slade, and said with a smile: "In her eyes, I must be quite suspicious, right? After all, Hardfer happened to come out of Grand Village."

"Well, this is the first time I've seen someone like you who has 30 patience points from the beginning."

As Scott said this, the memories of being rescued by Angie gradually emerged in his mind, and then he became a little embarrassed: "I am just a useless old knight, and Lord Slade, who brought me up since childhood, is very good.

She knows my strength. It is impossible for me to walk out of that forest alive with my own strength, so the focus of her suspicion naturally falls on you..."

Seeing Scott's guilty look, Angie smiled at him and advised him not to care about it, and then brought up a new topic: "Scott, can I ask about your father? Since you

Your mother is also fearless, so your father should be the same, right?"

"Yes, he is also a knight under Lord Slade..." Scott paused and smiled bitterly, "It's just that I don't know if he can be considered 'still alive' now - because he is trapped

I have been in the cemetery for 38 years, and the 39th year is about to come. If I still can’t come out in the 40th year, I really will never have another chance.

"As an eighth-level foreign land, the cemetery has very special rules. It requires at least four people to enter. Even if the tolerance value reaches 180, there will still be slight symptoms of discomfort, and you can only stay there for three days at most.

"

At this point, his expression became melancholy: "Originally this year, Lord Slade wanted Hader to bring some treasures and forcefully reach the 180 threshold before going in with them. Now the plan has been disrupted.

But there is no longer a fourth person in the Grosk territory who can reach the threshold and be trusted by Lord Slade... I think my father will never be able to get out."

Angie sighed softly. Putting aside the things about the cemetery, Scott's words can be said to be very informative.

"People trusted by Lord Slade" should be regarded as these knights and personal guards under Slade's influence.

Naturally, Count Grissom himself and the knights on his side cannot be counted.

And "can't find the fourth person who can reach the threshold", the implication is that there are only three people on Slade's side who can reach the standard.

These three people should be Slade, Monalise, and the mysterious bodyguard who is dressed in black robes and has a bulging body - after all, they are the top three combat forces here.

Hardfer, a very evil-minded guy, most likely didn't want to go to the cemetery to save people, so he deliberately chose to run away at this time to stimulate Slade.

From Slade's point of view, the things she had carefully planned for many years suddenly came to nothing, and a large area of ​​territory (Grand Village and its nearby forests) was wiped out by this subordinate who had been training for ten years, and he even defected to her old man.

The enemy, the lord next door, must be thinking and angry, so he doesn't even want to hear Hadfer's name.

Thinking about this, Anji casually asked: "What was the level of that guy Hadfer before he left the Glosk Territory?"

Scott quickly gave the answer: "I remember it was 150. After all, things like Cemetery Strange Land are related to my father, so Mr. Slade would usually mention the progress of this matter to me. Before.

When Hardfer's patience value just reached 150

, Master Slade was quite happy, and even rewarded him with the Tallinkvot area - the area near Grand Village. But he didn't expect that this kid would sneak into the treasure house on the night of the celebration banquet, take things and then

He injured Barton and just ran away..."

Anji laughed awkwardly. At first, she thought she was only 80% sure, but now she can conclude: this guy Hardfer definitely did this on purpose.

On the night of the celebration banquet for promotion and salary increase, there was no one left.

It's just that this guy actually has a resistance value of 150... It seems that the soul burning from Slade has indeed greatly affected his combat ability.

After talking about these past events and seeing that it was almost time, Angie stood up and said goodbye to Scott.

Before leaving, she asked one last question: "Scott, don't you like going to foreign lands?"

"You think it's unreasonable that at my age, I only have more than 30 patience points, right?"

Scott smiled sheepishly and turned to look out the window: "...I really don't want to go to a foreign land. This is also due to some things - but I will tell the story of this old knight later, and I won't

What's the impact? You go and do your work, I also have to make preparations to get these relics into the hands of their families as soon as possible..."

Seeing that the other person's expression was lonely again, Anji said nothing more, said goodbye to him softly, and turned around to leave.

Not only did Scott need to clear up his emotions, she also needed to clear up her mood and organize her thoughts to prepare for the "night talk" in the evening.

Originally, she wanted to catch up with Sean and beat up that Mesker, but now she is no longer in the mood - she has become an "important strategic resource" in the eyes of these big shots for no reason, so there is no leisure and elegance.

Let’s get back on track...

Let's go back to the room and take a rest first.

Angie walked to the door, called Elijah softly, looked at it weaving vines into a green umbrella, and smiled slightly.

Although she was inexplicably involved in the overt and covert fights between various forces, at least she still had a handy and considerate weapon, which made her feel a lot better.

In the continuous heavy rain, the sky and the earth seemed to be one.

In a world where no one was passing by for the time being, Anji stood in the rain holding an umbrella, looking up at the dark clouds with a faint light. After a long time, she lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand. Just as she was about to take a step, she heard an ominous sound.

Riya's familiar voice:

"Master, you are not a strategic resource."

Her body stiffened slightly and stopped in place. After a brief pause, she looked at the red eyes on the hilt of the sword and said half-jokingly: "What about you? You are not a sword either?"

"I will be your most loyal servant and always will be."

She silently looked at the eye that was staring at her for a while, and felt that it was so strange. She felt a little cold in her heart and couldn't help but laugh:

"But all good intentions are paid. I don't think the price I need to pay is just to drink a little blood for you - Elijah, you have definitely changed. You couldn't understand Scooter before.

What are Te and I talking about, let alone being able to express my feelings so pointedly?"

Elijah was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Master, you must be a little tired, let's go back to the room to talk."

Angie didn't say anything else, she just held up her skirt and walked towards Saltward Palace.

She was a little tired, but when these words were spoken with a sword, it seemed particularly suspicious.

But what else can she trust? Even those acquaintances who are friendly to her are Slade's subordinates. If they were asked to choose between Angie and the Lord, they would definitely choose the latter.

As long as someone can hesitate for a while when making a choice, it can be regarded as "having her in his heart".

As for that guy Hardfer, let alone that - with their superficial friendship, it wouldn't be surprising if the other person turned against him one day and refused to recognize him.

She didn't even feel that the gift she "entrusted" to Hadfer for safekeeping could really return to her hands again.

This kind of day where she has to doubt everyone around her every day really makes Anji very bored.

And now, she can't even trust the sword!

With a sigh of relief in her heart, Angie hurried back to the bedroom and slammed the door behind her back. She was about to question Elijah, but she calmed down instantly.

She deliberately laid Elijah flat on the carpet, took a few steps back to make sure that Elijah could not see her from that angle, and then gently sat down on the ground to see if it would take the initiative to speak.

Soon, Angie heard Elijah's voice again, but this time, there were obviously some complicated emotions in his voice:

"Master, I know you don't want to believe me now. Although I have indeed changed somewhat, I am still your most loyal servant - this is the only thing that will not change."

In order to gain her trust again, the sword continued on its own without anyone responding: "During the period when I was just awakened by you, my consciousness was not very clear, and I could only roughly understand it.

Some simple sentences. And that kind of "a lot of nonsense" situation is precisely because my thinking is chaotic and my logic is not clear. Basically, I can only "say whatever comes to mind".

"This situation has not changed, and I didn't realize there was any problem. Until this time I went to the place called Grand Village with you. Without blood supply, I fell into a deep sleep. And when I went to the place called Grand Village with you again, I fell into a deep sleep.

The moment I was awakened by your blood, everything changed.

"I began to notice that there seemed to be some problems with my current state, as if some key part was missing. This serious sense of dissonance made me reflect on myself all the time, but I never got the answer - because I almost didn't

I can only remember vaguely that we encountered an extremely serious accident, and I only remember that I have to wait for you to come back."

Elijah had tried to tell everything he knew.

But Anji not only didn't give any response, she didn't even make any movement. She seemed to just sit there motionless, which made her feel very uneasy.

In fact, Elijah could use the vines to change his position, find an angle where he could see Anji, or move closer to Anji.

It's just that Elijah felt that the owner who was deliberately keeping a distance from it probably didn't want it to do this.

Therefore, it will follow her will and wait obediently until the moment she is willing to take the initiative to come to him.

Time passed by minute by minute. This kind of waiting without knowing where the end was should be very long, but Elijah didn't feel anything special.

It is so used to waiting. But now, the person it has been waiting for is by its side, so time is no longer long and difficult.

Thinking of this, Elijah said softly: "Master, I am very glad that I can wait for you again."
