Robben remembers clearly that there are many of these sago grown in Piersis’s garden and he seems to like this kind of flowers very much...
"Lolly...you said that in your dream, is that your mother? She likes this sago?"
When asked by Robben, Lori immediately became unnatural, "This... is just my own dream. I... I don't have any impression of my mother, and I don't know she is I don’t like this flower."
It's rare that Lori talked about her mother, Robben couldn't help but asked again, "Then...what is she like in the dream?"
"She..." Lori sighed a little lonely, "It's probably just me... I can't think of anything else."
Robben almost took out the pendant, and said that your mother was exactly the same as you...Finally, Robben held back the impulse with his hand.
It is not the time yet.
After a few small chats to ease the atmosphere, Lori cheered up again, "Let’s go back, everyone may be in a hurry." Confirming that her first goal has been completed, and that her second goal is not far from success. Lori is in a very good mood.
glanced at the sago, Robben nodded, "Okay, let's go back.
This day's tea party went very smoothly. Dim kept laughing as if he was drunk, and Lori appeared in front of them, which gave many people a sense of surprise.
Although Lori has always been rumored, few people have actually seen Lori, and her unwilling temper and quiet and decent behavior make her very different from those noble ladies, and to be fair, Lori is actually The appearance is also very delicate and beautiful, but he doesn't usually smile, and his voice seems to be icy ballast, making it difficult to approach.
The tea party was over, everyone went back to their homes, but Dim held Robben's mouth and talked and laughed for a long time. Finally, letting Lori see him off was Robben left.
Back home, Wendy naturally took it for granted until after dinner, it was completely dark, and considering that the angry Zog straightened his beard this afternoon, he drove back in a rush.
"Lolly grows the same flowers as in Piersis's garden?" Su and Lilith heard Robben talk about the afternoon, and immediately passed their ears.
"Ah, I saw it with my own eyes, and Lori also said that it is a very rare word, not everywhere, I think...it's not a coincidence."
Su said almost certainly: "There is no coincidence at all, Piersis must be Loli's father. All signs indicate this."
"But Piersis is a two-headed dragon! Will the dragons and the gods have offspring?" Lilith couldn't help but ask, "Moreover, Lori has horns on her head. This is an obvious characteristic of the demons. It is a huge threat to Piersis’s identity. Lori has grown up, and in so many years...According to Piersis’s current attitude, she has probably killed Lori thousands of times."
Su glared at Lilith. "Then what's the matter?"
Lilith shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows? Now that Piersis itself is still full of mysteries, I think it’s better for Piersis to vomit some truth first to understand this."
Su snorted, "Roben, when will Mace arrive?"
"Let's take another day or two." I have asked Mace to come over as quickly as possible.
"Really?" Lilith suddenly raised her head and looked towards the door, "I'm afraid...maybe?"
Five minutes later, a carriage stopped on the open space in front of the house, the door opened, and a woman jumped out of it.
Robben stood at the door in a daze, because the woman who got off the carriage was not someone else, it was Metz.
"You...you did it so soon." Robben couldn't believe it.
"Your message is very urgent, I naturally..." For some reason, Maes seemed to be panting. Seeing Robben's expression of joy, he was about to step forward, but he fell down.
Robben was shocked, and a flash hugged Metz before he found that she had fainted.
A few minutes later, in the large living room, Metz was laid horizontally on the sofa, Su and Lilith put one of her wrists on her, the emerald light beating gently, dyeing Metz's body into a piece of emerald color.
"Um... it's okay, she's not bad." Lilith nodded first, and gave Robben a relieved look.
"Then...then she." Robben looked anxious, thinking that it is really inconvenient to have no keen telepathy. Now there is no elves who are good at life magic to detect illnesses accurately and quickly.
"She seems to be disturbed by a lot of magic, and her breath of life is a bit chaotic, but it's okay, just take a rest." Su also let go.
"Magic interference?" Robben was stunned.
Lilith looked at Metz, whose breathing was steady, and couldn't help shaking her head, "This woman... is still desperate like before, I'm afraid... she uses teleportation arrays all the way, but she is not magical Fighting humans are much weaker than the Protoss. If it's Sasha or Fanny, it might not be a problem to come over without sleep, but Maes, hey...she is too tired."
"All the way...Is the teleportation array used?" Robben instantly understood that this was entirely his own fault, and the teleportation array of the Protoss would not be set according to the standards of the human body...
Seeing Robben's eyes were reddening, Su patted Robben's shoulder, "Okay, it's nothing serious, let her rest. You can take her back to the room, and prepare some food. It will be fine when she wakes up. "
"Well...Can you take me a copy." Lilith whispered.
Robben has gently picked up Mays and walked upstairs.
Originally wanted to send Metz to rest in the room, Robben went to prepare something to eat. Metz may have never rested in order to get on the way, let alone eat. However, Robben put down Metz to get up, only to find Metz. The body is soft and has no strength, but one hand does not know when to pinch his skirt...
Mace is still asleep.
Looking at Metz's very haggard face, Robben was a little sad, and gently removed Metz's hand and kissed her on the cheek, "I'm sorry... it's my fault."
When Maes woke up quietly, he hadn't understood what was going on around him, but he was already held tightly by an embrace.
Metz was taken aback for a while, with a smile on his face, raised his hand to hug the visitor, and said sweetly: "Roben, I miss you, eh? What's wrong?"
Finding that Robben's mood is a little bit wrong, Mace looked at Robben suspiciously.
"No... nothing?" Robben didn't know what to say now.
"Oh...I'm in the room." Metz realized that she seemed to be lying in bed just now. She didn't have a clear mind and thought about what happened before, and suddenly understood.
Raised his hand and touched Robben’s forehead, Maes smiled and said, "Fool, I'm fine...Isn't it just a good night's sleep?"
Listening to Mace’s excuse for himself, Robben felt even more uncomfortable. Mace was indeed okay, but... this made Robben feel very powerless. I don’t know when to get rid of this kind of life, so that everyone no longer has to worry about themselves. Worry about everything...
"Roben, are you angry?" Metz turned his head and pressed Robben's forehead, "Aren't you happy when I'm here?"
Robben smiled helplessly, "How could it be...just..."
"I just want to see you sooner, so I rushed a little bit longer. Don't you put such a face on others..."
Seeing Mace acting like a baby to himself, Robben gently kissed the cherry lips right in front of him, and said with a smile: "Okay...I know. My wife is here, I should be happy."
Metz smiled happily, "This time, you suddenly heard news that Sasha and Fanny are very strange and said they want to come together, hum! I blocked them both back, thinking you two bad guys Don't come to hinder me, haha!"
Robben couldn't help but feel happy when he heard it, "You only have more hearts."
Mace stared honestly and unceremoniously. "Of course! A woman's happiness must be achieved by herself! If I hadn't taken the initiative, Fanny and I still don't know what the pity is like, and... ··· Hmm··································································································································
"Hmm..." The happy words turned into unexplained murmurs, and Metz raised his arms around Robben's neck and melted into the kiss.
For a long time, Robben let go of Maes's red lips. Seeing that her eyes were a little blurred, he couldn't help but teased: "Little girl, I'm back..."
Mace held Robben tightly, took the initiative to come over and kissed Robben, spit out his little tongue lightly, "Kiss me a few more..."
Robben’s heart moved, but he had to press down the urge to kiss and taste the lilac tongue again, "Su and Lilith are still waiting for us."
Metz listened for a moment, blinked, and quickly licked his lower lip, retracted the tongue that was spitting out to lure Robben back, a little awake, and suddenly a little shy, "Hate, don't look at me like this... "
Robben couldn't help laughing.
"Mayes, thanks for your hard work, I won't do this next time." After smiling, Robben looked at Metz's eyes and said seriously.
Mays smiled very sweetly, "Is this an order?"
"Of course not, but as a husband's request?"
"That is to say that if you don't comply with your wife, you can also hide away?" Metz was funny.
"I'm serious." Robben slammed Mace's head lightly.
Mace cried out, hit back immediately, and then cried out again...···
Pouting, Metz hummed and said, "You can't help me, but I rushed here as fast as possible to see how nervous you are now. You actually want to deprive me of the right to enjoy. , Um... I'm so pathetic."
Robben couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, okay, next time you come slowly, I will look nervous and show you, OK?"
Mace smiled, pressed against Robben’s cheek very sweet and said: "Roben, you are so kind to me..."
Robben's heart suddenly moved a little, and he patted Metz's junior and said, "Actually...you are so kind to me that I feel unable to return..."
"Ha, it's good to know. If you dare to throw me away anytime, I will take Sasha and Fanny away from home and ask you to be a widow!" Metz took out Sasha's tone and couldn't help it. Laughed.
"Hey..." There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Lilith's very impatient voice followed, "Are you two tired? Supper is going to be cool! Don't come down again! We have to eat it first."
Mace shrank his neck and immediately gave Robben a fierce look.
Robben is innocent, why do you want to stare at me? Who just said to kiss a few more times...
Lilith's footsteps disappeared, leaving Robben and Mays with big eyes and small eyes, but Lilith's voice still stayed, "Really... my daughter is over four years old. Like a lover, I’m too tired all day long, human beings are really weird..."
It didn’t take long for Metz to sit at the dinner table with his eyes gleaming, and he said with great joy:
I just smelled the sweet and sour fish on Luo itself. Haha! It’s really here!
Seeing Mace’s appetite, Su and Lilith couldn’t help but smile, "That’s why you almost ate Robben right?"
"Hate..." Metz glared at the two elves, focusing on his main meal.
My belly bulged up a bit, and with the food at the bottom, Mace's face looked ruddy, and he drank a glass of water. "Ah~~~~" Mace let out a long sigh, "You should eat after traveling. One meal!"
Su and Lilith looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that during this period of time, Sa Sa has been doing your transformation very smoothly. Soon all of us will become only at the table. It feels the most comfortable strange group."
"What's wrong with that..." Metz wanted to fight back, but think about it is his sweet and sour fish is important, staring and eating quickly...
swallowed a whole fish in his belly, almost eating all the bones. Metz sucked his fingers as contentedly as a cat. "Okay, what can I do!?"
"Would you like another one?" Robben asked with a smile, and Su and Lilith suddenly leaned back together with a smile.
Metz looked at the bare fish bones on his plate, "Ah... asshole, it's about to be serious... I just ate faster, what's so funny about it.
Robben, Su and Lilith couldn’t help but laugh again, and the laughing Maes was helpless...
While eating, Robben told Metz about the recent situation in detail.
Metz listened very seriously, and was surprised in his eyes. "Piersis... is not a protoss, not even a demons!"
"Now I don't know exactly what he is. It seems that he is not going to reveal his details. I want to wait until I return to the human continent to ask the queen and maybe there will be an answer." About Lori... What is the chance? "
Maes spread his hands and shook his head, "I'm not sure about this. From what you said, I think Piersis is Lori's father, but you say he is a double-headed dragon, um... It’s hard to be sure, I’m afraid I won’t be able to know anything until I see him?"
Suddenly, Metz smiled, "But anyway, we have made a great deal this time. This Piersis is a big man who controls the entire consortium. In the God Realm... the influence of the consortium is quite huge. , I have always been a member of the consortium, but I know this impact well, if Piersis now cooperates with us, then...not to mention self-protection, we can even do a lot in the God Realm It’s possible, even if you continue to live in the God Realm..."
"But the threat of the Black Emperor still exists, we are unlikely to..."
"No!" Maes interrupted Lilith with bright eyes, "Even if the Black Emperor now holds our true identity, but that can't be any problem, as long as we have a huge support in the God Realm, then from the Devil Realm The threat will inevitably be reduced to a minimum. Just imagine how many people will believe the words of the enemy, and we...but we are good citizens who have made outstanding contributions to the world, and we have the influence of Piersis, at least... …Our security problem has been solved to a great extent, the only problem now...is that Piersis is not secretly paying attention?"
He rolled his eyes and glanced at the night outside the window. Metz suddenly said, "Roben, can you take me to see him now?"
"Now?" Robben was stunned.
"Of course, when I came, I also concealed my deeds. It's not okay to want to visit in a big way, right now is a good time?"
"But you must rest." Robben frowned solemnly.
"I have taken a rest."
"No!" Robben directly refused.
Mays stared, "Huh, then I will go by myself!"
Seeing Maesi, Robben was helpless, and he hurried forward to hold Maesi, "Alright, my aunt, don’t make trouble. It’s already late today, how about we go tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you will be with me, and tonight we will clean up everything." Metz seemed to have plans, and embraced Robben's arm happily.
Robben knew that he couldn't beat Mace, so he looked at Su and Lilith immediately.
The eyes of the two elves were eating slowly elsewhere.
"Lilith, the weather today is really good." Su said.
"Yes, the sunshine is really good." Lilith answered unambiguously, looking at the dark night outside the window.
Mace snickered, "Alright Robben, let's go, I want to see that guy soon too! The business must be done early!"
Robben reluctantly "Okay...but you have to listen to my instructions and don't run around."
"Yes! My husband!"
Although he said he was looking for Piersis, Robben really didn’t know where Piersis lived. The previous few times I met in the inner city center, it was still a public residence for entertainment parties.
"He lives here?"
For this kind of night action, Metz is still relatively unfamiliar, and now she is very excited. Looking at the small and somewhat dilapidated church in front of her, Metz asked Robben beside him strangely.
"Um...probably." Robben replied vaguely, but regretted that he didn't know where Piersis was... Speaking of finding each other, but this guy is in a human form At that time there was no breath at all, I couldn't find him at all...
The only thing I can count on right now is the door in front of me. This door looks like a rather strange magical organ, connected to other areas. There must be more than one place inside, and one of them is the residence of Piersis.
But now that he has come out, he has to bite the bullet and go in. I hope the first one will find Piersis’s place.
Raised his hand to hold the doorknob, ‘squeak, the door actually opened.
Robben stood blankly on the spot, and Piersis inside the door was also stunned.
"You're here again..." Piersis seemed helpless, "You can really find me...you are good."
walked out and closed the door. Piersis, who was squatting, saw Metz at a glance, and his eyes condensed, "Oh... isn't this Mrs. Metz?"
When he was told his real name, Metz was still a little uncomfortable. He looked at the old man in front of him. Metz adjusted his clothes and bowed gracefully, "Master Piersis, good evening."
Piersis glanced at the stars in the sky, "Well, it is indeed late enough... I didn't expect the troublesome woman to come here so soon."
Metz's eyes twitched, dissatisfied, this old guy didn't say anything polite.
After bypassing Robben and Metz, Piersis came to the flower bed again and gently picked off a sago flower. "Forget it, this day will come anyway. It doesn't matter sooner or later, come in... …"
With that, Piersis walked back, pushed open the door of the church and walked in slowly.
Robben noticed how many sago flowers had been picked off by the flower bed. Calculate the number. If not wrong, Piersis would pick one every day for the past two days, but he didn't know why.
and Metz stepped in, and a magnificent hall appeared in front of Robben, which looked like a palace in a royal palace.
The stairs leading to the second floor are covered with a luxurious red carpet inlaid with gold. Piersis has already walked up. At the end of the stairs are two huge wooden doors.
"Let's go." Robben took Metz up the stairs.
Metz was still very surprised. Although he was no longer unfamiliar with space magic, when he was outside just now, it was obviously just a small church. Looking back, there seemed to be a dilapidated door panel beside the entrance door. This makes Metz very strange.
Behind the huge portal at the end of the stairs is a huge room, which seems to be a mixture of study and living room. Bright flames are burning in the fireplace. Although the weather is not cold at all, it is strange, but there is something in the room. It feels warm by the kotatsu fire.
Piersis first put the sago flower in a vase next to the bed, then walked to the soft chair and sat down, "Sit down, we should talk."
Robben and Mays sat down in front of Piersis. Robben was looking at the surrounding furnishings. This place looks quite old, but I don’t know if it’s in the inner city, and it’s dark outside the window. I’m afraid it’s now. late at night.
Metz was looking at Piersis. This bald old mage looked very rich and kind. He couldn't imagine that he would actually be a double-headed black dragon.
"Little girl, have you seen enough?" Piersis suddenly moved his eyebrows, "I don't have anything to look good. This is just a need in the Protoss."
Metz was not embarrassed at all, just smiled and asked: "Then I don't know what to call it, can you...can you show your true face?"
"That's meaningless. We just need to confirm the identity of the other party. Are you also fake now?"
Metz nodded, "It's true that this is not our real face, but you should also know what we look like, and you should know a lot about us after confirming our identity, but from the news that my husband got , We have no specific concept of you. I think if we cooperate, we should at least trust each other."
Piersis smiled, "Little girl, I just promised to give you convenience and shelter. I don’t care about the rest of the period. Don’t think that your limited wisdom can be compared to me at the same height. No matter in any aspect, I occupy absolute Advantages, don’t try to test my details, everyone has a secret."
Mace also laughed, "Indeed, we are here to seek help, but I seem to hear that you agreed not out of kindness, not out of sympathy for us with similar fate, but defeat by my husband. , Had to agree to this condition."
Piersis's face went dark for an instant.
Robben couldn't help but stab Metz in the waist. "Don't make him angry, this guy is hard to control."
Metz just blinked invisible, signalling Robben to be relieved.
"Little girl, are you... threatening this time?"
"No, I'm telling the truth!" Metz's tone also fell cold. "We don't beg for mercy and sympathy, nor do we want to be looked down upon. We just want to get something with our own strength. We don't ask for extras. We have no reason to give up on what we deserve. Now... we are in almost the same situation. We have to leave the realm of God if we expose our identity, or even worse, but we don't know you, and we can't completely trust you. "
Piersis could not help but exclaimed: "Then you don't have to come to me!"
Metz said without hesitation: "This is the right my husband has gained after defeating you!"
Piersis narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light shining in his eyes.
Metz is not afraid, "Old sir, you'd better not take such a pointless attitude. You should understand that if you make any dangerous move, our cooperation will fail, and it will be of no benefit to us, and ····…My husband may be angry."
Faced with Mace's tough tone, Piersis couldn't help but hate him, "I didn't expect that cunning Mace was still so strong."
Mays smiled, "I'm really sorry, but this is something that must be done, and...Who told me to have a more reliable backing." Robben shook his head helplessly.
Piersis snorted softly, "Since I promised you, I have already shown my sincerity. I didn't expect human beings to be so suspicious. Well, what do you want to know, I can tell you selectively."
"What is your name?" Mayes asked directly.
"Piersis!"
"I asked my real name!" Maes frowned.
"This is my real name. I have used this name for thousands of years. I will use this name even if I leave the realm of God in the future. This name represents me."
Metz sneered at Piersis's sly and slippery claims, and then asked: "Then what are you? You are not a protoss, a demon, or a human, but a dragon?
"No...I am not a dragon." Piersis laughed strangely, "But I don't want to answer this question, it's related to my safety."
Piersis chose to avoid answering the two more critical questions, but Metz was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "Then where do you... come from?"
"Makai!" Piersis gave the answer very readily this time, and explained: "It's obvious, I can see that the power I use is only in the Makai."
"Why did you run from the Demon World to the God Realm? This is a very hard work, right?"
"Heh, then why do you as humans want to go to the gods, even if it is the meaning of the devil, you can't bring so many people, right?"
"Well...it's a secret." Metz spread his hands.
"Similarly, my reason is also a secret." Piersis smiled cunningly.
Metz looked a little helpless, "Well, let's change the topic. This is related to our cooperation. I want to know what you plan to do in the future?"
"From now on, what do you mean?"
"My husband told me for sure that you are actually very young now, but as a Protoss you are already very old. When you reach your age, how do you live?"
Piersis laughed, "Do you want to ask me how long this partner can be valid?" The question seems to be of little importance, and even if it is asked, Piersis will not answer, and the next conversation will be It gave Robben a headache.
The game of interest between businessmen is nothing short of a fantasy for Robben. Piersis and Mace have their own opinions. It can be said that they have been arguing like a war for a long time, and there is no slack in any details. Any terms must be determined repeatedly.
Robben only understood two points. First, Piersis helped to erase all suspicious traces of his people in the God Realm, and carried out further identity disguise, and provided assistance in peacetime. The second point is that when Piersis is really threatened by the Protoss, he must also give free help.
After some competition, Robben didn't know which side took advantage in the end, but it seemed that both sides seemed contented.
Metz stood up first, "Then, let's get here today, and we will talk about the rest tomorrow. Please forgive me if I disturb you late at night."
Piersis laughed, his attitude was completely different from the beginning, "It's okay, it's been a long time since I talked so happily with people."
Roben could not see that the two of them were chatting happily... only saw the teeth gritted.
"Tomorrow we will visit on time."
With these words left, Robben and Mays said goodbye and left the strange place of Piersis. When they went out, it was still the garden with a small church behind.
"Ah... This old fox is really hard to deal with." As soon as he walked out, Maes sighed.
Luo Bennian scanned the surroundings. There was no one here, so he asked, "How is it? Do you think this guy has any sincerity?"
Metz twisted his neck and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is no such thing as sincerity. The reason he will help is because we know his secret, and you are better than him in absolute strength, otherwise it is not this. It’s a situation."
"In other words, if something happens, he will betray us without hesitation?"
"I can't talk about betrayal, we are not friends with him." Metz turned and looked at the flowers around him. He was not overjoyed when he saw that the garden was full of strange flowers and weeds. Duo goes back.
Robben scratched his head, "It looks like you are very relaxed, did you get any benefits?"
Mace has no shadow in the flower bed. He only heard Robben’s words and got out, "How do you know?"
"You have already written it on your face, and if you smile a little, it will become a flower." Robben couldn't help but smile.
"Really..." Metz smiled, sniffed the scent of a flower, and then walked out of the flower bed cautiously.
"Don't pick some back?" Robben asked strangely.
Mace couldn't help but glared at Robben, "Lest a man say anything to me about flowers and plants."
Robben smiled bitterly.
"And Su and Lilith will definitely blame me, hey...have been with everyone for a long time, and found that they are different from other people, and now they will not pick flowers."
In the future, we will also arrange a garden around the house, how about planting the flowers we like? "Roben embraced Metz's proposal.
"You should take care of that, I can't grow flowers." Metz hooked Robben's neck and smiled.
"You guys...Don't keep talking at the door of others! Don't enter my garden!!" Suddenly, Piersis's very annoyed voice came from the door of the church.
"Oh... he is angry." Mace hid his mouth and smiled, "Let's go."
On the way back, Robben and Mace walked side by side on a secluded path. There was no one around and the light was dim. Mace generously held Robben’s hand, and he was not afraid of being seen here. Happy.
"What are the benefits? Come on..." Robben said this for the third time.
"Don't worry, I'm still thinking..." Mace turned his hand and hammered Robben's shoulder, "I'll think about it after a while."
Robben touched his head. "But...the day will dawn after a while, and we have delayed breakfast, and we have already taken a secluded path, but..."
Robben looked back at the path, showing helplessness.
Mays couldn’t help it, ‘pouch, laughed out, stepped forward and hugged Robben,
My husband, you’re not saying you’re lost, right?
Robben looked helplessly looking at Metz gloating, "This is not a good thing..."
smiled, and Maes said triumphantly: "Although I haven't lived here long...but...I remember the way."
"You?" Robben was surprised, this is near the inner city center, we have never been.
"I have seen the map."
"Land... can you still remember all the roads?"
"Of course!" Metz answered naturally.
Robben felt that he was completely defeated...···
Look at the sky~EbookFREE.me~ Maes let go of Robben, took a step back and stretched out her hand gracefully, "It's getting late, my husband, let me take you home."
Robben felt helpless, and simply bowed, "Then Mrs. Lao has worked hard, and I am grateful for my husband."
Mace smiled, took Robben and walked back, saying: "This time, in general, this Piersis is not particularly willing, but he did not see the expected resistance. It seems that he still wants to take advantage of it. we."
"Use?"
"Well, since he can't separate our relationship with us, he can only accept our proposal helplessly, but he is trying his best to earn his own benefits. Generally speaking, I don't think there is a big problem with cooperation. He will calculate us maliciously right now. From his actions, it can be seen that he actually wants to continue a quiet life in the God Realm. This is a great guarantee that we can temporarily trust him."
"Oh..." Robben nodded.
"But he hid a lot of things, especially... with regard to Lori, I think we need to figure out the ins and outs of this matter."
"Is this important?"
"Yes! Very important!" Metz was extremely affirmed, "First of all, it was for Lori, and since Piersis tried to hide something in this matter, it means that there are many of his secrets, if I guess Not bad... when he got along with Lori's mother, he might have revealed his true feelings and left too many things that threatened him. If we want to see through this guy, here is the best breakthrough, eh... ··Go back to sleep, and then I will see Lori!"
