Chapter 510: The Night Is Long (2-in-1)
Uh, so that's kind of how it happened. ”
Roger picked up the cold coffee on the table, took a sip lightly, and then carefully looked at Andreine's face.
Anger is hidden in calm, worry is hidden in anger, worry is hidden in worry......
Forget it, the expression was too complicated, so Roger simply stopped analyzing it and sat back and waited for the result.
"So you mean to say ......"
"You and Amanda, you're both ......"
"Yes." Roger nodded.
"I knew it." Adeline let out a sigh.
"You know everything?" Roger looked puzzled.
"Guess a little, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
Andreine's expression was complicated.
When luring Green to the island, Roger left a trail in Baytown.
Henrik and Claudia.
I haven't seen him for a while, and Henrik hasn't changed much, but his face is a little paler, and the whole person looks a little thinner.
But Claudia has changed a lot, the expression on her face is more vivid and closer to a pure person. It was Claudia disguised as Andreine who then caught the attention of the Grimm Blood.
But Roger also knew that it would be difficult to continue to hide it, so when he returned, he picked and told him what had happened to him and Amanda.
Although he hides a lot of dangerous things, he and Amanda are only disguised as ordinary students who have come into contact with the otherworld.
However, with Andreine's sensitivity, she can still guess some things.
Take, for example, Amanda's disappearance a few months ago.
"I need to be quiet."
Adeline stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Roger with a mixed expression in her gaze.
"Give me a moment."
After saying that, he walked straight upstairs.
"Andreine."
Roger spoke.
"I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I'm the same Roger you rescued from the island."
With a pause in her footsteps, her shoulders trembling slightly, Adeline nodded and quickly disappeared into the hallway.
Roger doesn't have a very good way to deal with this kind of thing, for Andreine she is just an ordinary person, it is impossible to accept this kind of thing immediately, maybe all she needs is time.
Pushing open the door, the sun on the horizon fell crookedly to the west, and Roger let out a long breath and swept away the depression in his heart.
"And a little tail."
It was almost the easiest time since he came into this world.
"How?"
Henrik leaned over from the other side of the porch.
"Neither good nor bad." Roger replied.
"That's good news." Henrik shrugged, "To be honest, I really didn't expect so much to happen in such a short time since I left. ”
"Looks like I'm missing out on a great trip."
"There's another problem I find......" Henrik said with a grin.
"There seems to be a lot more people of the opposite sex around you."
"For example, the woman named Tamara, I always felt that she looked at me a little strangely."
Henrik said shamelessly, and then he sighed, "It's a pity, I'm not what I used to be." ”
"For me now, Claudia alone is enough."
Roger didn't squint, "I believe it, of course I do." ”
"But the next time you get on your feet, let's say something like that."
Henrik's face froze.
"Roger, what do you mean?"
"Why can't I stand still?!"
"Don't think about it, I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm just telling a fact."
Ignoring Henrik's clamor behind him, Roger walked away.
The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, staining the valley trees with a red glow.
Stepping on soft ground, through familiar bushes, standing on top of a hill, Roger looked down.
A few months ago, it used to be the place he used to go to and from every day.
The first encounter with a wolf, the first killing, and the first burial of a corpse, and......
Looking down, Roger saw a familiar figure.
The glow of the setting sun gilded the hem of Anna's skirt with a special layer of color, and she stood there silently, as if it had been a long time ago.
Roger walked slowly.
"What are you thinking?"
Anna turned her head, and the sun hit her face, making her feel a lot warmer at this time.
"I want us to meet for the first time."
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for the corpse you buried, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a lot of things to do after." ”
"Maybe this is fate?" Roger laughed and made a joke.
But Anna nodded, and repeated it with a serious face.
"Yes, that's how fate fits."
"Uh......"
Seeing Anna's serious look, Roger didn't know what to say for a while.
Anna smiled lightly, she has always given people a feeling that they are not approached, and at this time, she suddenly bloomed into a smile and naturally had a lot more beauty.
Leaning back, Anna sat on the edge of a large tree.
"Remember the promise we made?"
"Agreed?"
Roger looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and Anna, who was dyed red by the halo.
"Of course."
He shrugged.
"The only fly in the ointment is that I didn't prepare a bottle of red wine in advance."
There was a time when they wished they could have a glass of wine together.
"Nope." Anna smiled mysteriously.
She stretched out her hand, and there was a low table next to the tree.
Then there are the transparent trays.
Two glasses and a bottle of wine.
"I almost forgot, the magic mirror is in your hands......"
Roger laughed dumbly.
Anna beckoned, "I have wine, I have time, and I'm in the mood to drink." ”
"What about you?"
The two looked at each other, inexplicable emotions lingering in them, the red wine had not yet been opened, but Roger felt that his lips and teeth were already filled with the aroma of wine.
"I only have this one."
"That's enough."
"Bang!"
The red liquid poured into the transparent glass, and Anna raised the glass to watch the sunset reflected red through the liquid.
"It feels good to have a body."
She drank the wine in the cup, and it was rare to relax, and they recalled everything that had happened in the past half a year, the less the wine was drunk, but the closer and closer their bodies were.
Anna's snort exhaled wine as she looked at Roger's face, "To be honest, even when I was alive, I never got so close to a man. ”
Roger's heart moved and he made the right choice.
The breeze blew through Anna's hair, imprinting her shadow upside down on the ground, and Roger felt the immensely real body in his arms, and he looked at Anna.
"What I see are you real, or is it a reflection generated by mirror space?"
Anna's eyes sparkled with water.
"What do you say?"
Roger lowered his head.
"I feel the need to check it out."
Anna found a slightly more comfortable position.
"Don't be here."
The last rays of light vanished into the sky, and the sky was a reddish cloud of fire, and Roger's gaze fell on the cemetery cottage in the distance.
He picked up Anna and strode towards the cabin.
The nights are long and there is a lot to do.
…………
The first rays of sunlight shone through the cracks in the window on Roger's face.
His eyelids twitched, and he stretched out comfortably to open them.
"It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably."
Got out of bed, but there was no trace of Anna beside him.
Get up and get out of bed and push the door open.
In the morning mist, Anna was walking in dew from the trees in the distance.
"What's wrong?"
"I've been here for a long time, but now it's extremely unfamiliar."
Anna's cheeks were rosy, and her smile was full of vividness.
"I'm going to get out of here and walk around."
Anna spoke.
"Leave here, where?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
"To be honest, I don't know."
"The first stop is to go to Europe, to see for yourself the places that once existed only in the mother's story."
Roger opened his mouth, but swallowed the words he had kept.
Anna has only been alive as a human for a handful of years, and then there are the days when she exists as a ghost.
But although it was a long time, she was confined to one place, and the people and things she experienced were extremely limited.
Now that the confinement has been lifted and Green is dead, the gloom that has shrouded Anna has completely disappeared, and she has finally gained her long-lost freedom.
"I thought you'd keep me."
The beautiful eyebrows furrowed together, and Anna glanced at Roger with some dissatisfaction.
"Man, sure enough."
She glanced at Roger's belt, intentionally or not.
Roger smiled wryly, "Who did you listen to when you said this?" ”
He just complained casually, but he didn't expect Anna to answer his question directly.
"It's Gewei, Gewei reminded me the last time we met, asking me to be careful of you."
"Be careful of me what?"
Roger's cheeks twitched, she reminded you so, how I didn't see her careful.
Hehe......
The face is cold and the heart is hot.
What happened in the tower, even with Roger's experience, now that I think about it, I feel a little blushing, she even did this kind of thing, and she dared to remind you to be careful?
Roger wisely didn't go any further.
"You know what I'm thinking."
"Every moment and every place in this world is new to you, and it's time to experience it."
"When you're tired or in trouble......"
"Who said I was leaving now?"
Anna gave Roger a strange look.
She stepped forward and grabbed Roger's collar, knowing that Anna inherited the power of Lilith, the flesh of a high-level vampire was very powerful, and Roger was caught off guard by Anna and fell to the ground.
The bodies of the two rolled down the hillside, gradually ......
At this moment, Roger suddenly realized.
He's really a tool guy.
…………
Fog Capital, the headquarters of the Warlock's Guild.
Dangdang!
A deafening bell rang from the top of the tower, and everyone in the conference room got up, their heads bowed, not even daring to look at the burly figure sitting on the high platform.
The crowd dissipated and left the spacious conference room.
The burly figure writhed irritably in the chair, and the chair made of ironwood creaked overwhelmingly.
"How's it going?"
Quinn looked at Margaret sitting in the audience, no, it was Angela who said.
Angela stood up.
"I've got complete control of this body." There was a hint of disgust on her face.
"This woman's blood is dirty, and every inch of her body smells like that idiot of Alejandro!"
"I can't take it anymore, but I have to keep going for the seed in her body."
Not.
Quinn's gaze scanned the hall unfocused, and he asked casually, apparently thinking about something.
"The girl you suspect has Dragonborn blood."
"Did you find her?"
Angela's face showed confusion.
"Her aura is expanding, it seems to be in a state of promotion, and the fluctuations are very violent, maybe when it calms down, she will be able to enter the third order."
"Nice qualifications."
Quinn nodded.
"If you need help, just ask." He looked at Angela.
"I'm your teacher, but I'm also your mother's friend, and although she's gone, I promised her to take good care of you."
Angela lowered her head, "If I need your help, I'll speak." ”
"There's one more thing."
Quinn's thick knuckles tapped on the table.
"Europe has been in chaos lately, with extraordinary events, you know, it was supposed to be ...... by the Warlock Guild as agreed."
"That is, you and Alejandro will take over the management of the whole of Europe."
"But now that you're in trouble, the Privy Council will have to send someone else to take over here."
"Who is it?!" Angela said coldly.
Quinn glanced at his stubborn female disciple, "You will naturally know in the future, now take care of your injuries." ”
Quinn stood up, "I'll get out of here when I find that Green and make him pay." ”
"It's so barren here."
Quinn walked outside.
"Teacher...... If I can regain my former combat effectiveness, will you help me fight for it? ”
Angela couldn't help but ask.
Quinn stopped.
"Angela, you don't have a chance."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Angela clenched her fists silently.
"No, I still have a chance."
"Bloodline, in the final analysis, is the purity of blood."
She looked at her steadfastly, "I'm going to make it." ”
Annoyedly tapped his head, "Amanda, let me think about which city she's from?" ”
"It's only been a long time, and she can be promoted to the third order, she must have the power of the dragonborn hidden in her."
"Find her, then destroy her consciousness and absorb her Dragonborn bloodline!"
At this moment, Angela suddenly felt a change in the seeds hidden in her body, as if something was about to break free from her grasp.
"Are you going to be promoted?"
A red flame floated from Angela's body, and the flame burned quietly, and then contracted into her body little by little.
"You can't run away."
At the same time, Roger, who was living a comfortable life, seemed to sense something.
In the last few days, he has deliberately kept his distance from Andrein, spending most of his time in the cemetery cabin.
Ahem, according to what Govi once told her, spend time with Anna.
A line of information popped up on the bulletin board, and the flame affinity obtained from Anna had changed, and without looking closely, Roger opened the fairy tale manuscript and went directly to the place where Anna was sleeping.
There, the red cocoon is gone, and Anna's clothes are burned by unconscious flames.
She curled up naked in mid-air, and Roger's arrival seemed to wake Anna.
She opened her eyes, and a burning breath erupted from her nose.
