858.Demon Game(2/2)
Bah, bah, bah, this is really unlucky.
"So do you have any clues about this final test?"
The witch continued to ask.
Adam did not answer directly this time. He just held the wine glass and quietly looked at the bonfire not far away and the people laughing around the bonfire. Finally, he turned to look at Dorothy beside him.
"I didn't have much of a clue at first, but since I met you, Miss Holmes, I have understood."
He said so.
"???"
Dorothy has almost turned into a heartless question mark machine. What does it have to do with her?
Fortunately, Adam did not act as the Riddler and quickly gave her the answer.
"Family, the test this time should be family, because I am probably really getting old, and I am beginning to be afraid of loneliness and long for the warmth of family."
Mr. Brave lowered his head and said this.
He spent the first half of his life alone, always busy making bets with the devil, but this last bet never came.
He knew that Mammon was lurking in this night city, but he still couldn't catch any clues about this terrible demon. The other party seemed to be deliberately consuming him.
He had no choice but to settle down in the Night City.
He had never lived in one place for so long in his life, and with his character that he couldn't help but help people when they encountered difficulties, it was only natural that the village of Avalon was created today.
This was something he wouldn't do as a young man. After all, he was the unlucky guy being targeted by the devil. Anyone approaching him would only be implicated, which would lead to misfortune.
But now he did not refuse.
Firstly, he is much stronger than when he was young, so strong that even the devil dare not look down on him, and he has the ability to protect himself to some extent.
Secondly, as he just said, he may be really old, and when people get old, they will be afraid of loneliness and long for the company of family members.
He is an old bachelor, so naturally he has no real family, so it would be nice to have some friends around him.
His fighting spirit has indeed been worn away by the peaceful life day after day, especially after the appearance of Miss Holmes, some strange thoughts always pop up in his mind from time to time.
For example, if I had gotten married and had children normally, my children would be this big now.
If I also give birth to a daughter, will she be as beautiful and sensible as this Miss Holmes?
Oh, it’s great to have a daughter.
........
Although it may be a bit rude to do so, it can even be said to be disrespectful, but when Adam looks at Miss Holmes, he can't help but bring an old father's perspective.
This is very strange, but he really can't control himself.
Only then did he realize his problem.
He probably really longs for a home and the company of his family, otherwise how could this fatherly love be so overflowing that it would just pour out onto the little witch indiscriminately.
And this is very dangerous, because for the demon god who has been fighting with him all his life, this is a rare flaw and opportunity, and the other party will never give up.
"So, Miss Holmes, you were actually sent here by Mammon."
Adam asked suddenly.
His eyes couldn't help but become sharp.
He couldn't help but doubt this. After all, at this juncture, a person of unknown origin suddenly appeared out of thin air, but he felt particularly close to him. What do you think this is, if this is not the devil's conspiracy?
Dorothy: "......"
The otaku witch blinked in confusion.
However, he was not too panicked about this. Instead, he thought about it seriously and nodded.
"Maybe it's true."
She admitted so.
Well, although she was actually arranged by the Sage of Lies and not the Demon God Mammon, as far as she knew, Hermes and the Demon God Mammon seemed to be a bit unclear.
After all, both of them are ministers of the Demon King and have a relationship of colleagues.
It's very reasonable for three bad guys to get together and work together.
So, is it really just an accident that Hermes sent her to this era, as she said, so she only needs to cooperate in a performance?
Gee, she always felt that there was a conspiracy here before, but now that Adam said this, she felt more and more that there must be something wrong here.
Well, maybe this is really the plan of the Mammon Demon God against Adam.
After all, the false daughter may not be able to confuse Adam, the true brave man, but what about his true daughter?
Wow, it was indeed a trick of the devil. It was so poisonous that I was almost used as a tool.
The more Dorothy thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to her, and her eyes suddenly became sharper.
Then, she looked up at Adam and sighed.
"Okay, dad, I won't hide it from you now. I'm actually not some Hermes. My name is Dorothy. I'm a person from the future and your biological daughter in who knows how many lifetimes."
Damn it, no matter what her schemes are, I’ve shown my cards, I’ll see how you continue to play.
Although this kind of showdown would definitely cause turmoil in time and space, and might really change the future, Dorothy silently felt the mark of the God above God in her heart and couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.
Do you understand what it means that a child with a sister is a treasure?
If there was an accident, the good sister would definitely pull her away immediately. Since the good sister didn't respond, it means it was all a minor problem.
To put it bluntly, Adam the Brave was not well-known in later generations, which means that this did not cause any big trouble at all.
So you can't change big things, but you can change small things as you please, don't be afraid, it's just recklessness.
However, Adam across from him was a straight Muggle.
No, he was actually just testing it casually. Why did you kid just jump so far? Shouldn't you be making excuses or pretending?
Moreover, isn’t this a suspense and conspiracy studio? You suddenly come from the future...
Mr. Brave's mind was a little overloaded for a while.
But these are actually minor issues. The point is that she really calls me daddy...
Although Adam had tried very hard to endure it, the corners of his mouth still curled up unconsciously.
