Chapter 109 About Who He Is Throughout all these years, I have met...
Throughout all these years, I have encountered many situations that made me feel guilty, but I have never encountered a situation like today where I was caught in bed with someone else.
Neil buried his head in the crook of my neck and sniffed for a while. I was really afraid that he would sniff out something again, so I quickly pushed him away.
"Stop rubbing it, this is the smell of those shadow monsters. I was accidentally entangled by a group of monsters, and I just came back."
"I understand. There are always some coincidences. For example, you happen to meet someone, or you happen to get something. Or...you happen to use magic to cover up some smells, and they happen to be smelled."
Samuel suddenly interrupted the conversation. His voice went back and forth slowly, with a hook at the end, hinting at something for no reason. He knew nothing about the situation, but there was a subtlety that made people's scalps tingle. The other three people's eyes changed accordingly, and I wanted to cover his mouth to prevent him from disturbing people.
He seemed to sense my thoughts, and smiled slightly, like a kind person who cares about others wholeheartedly, considerate and tender. Under his thick eyelashes were two blue eyes, as delicate as transparent glass balls, reflecting the human figure exquisitely.
[If you want me to shut up, you should at least give me some benefits, right? ]
...What kind of god of glory is this guy? It's such a pity that he doesn't become a profiteer.
Our eyes met, conveying a meaning that only the two of us could understand. The tail of his long and narrow eyes was slightly raised, like a white jade, with a delicate smile. I glanced at him helplessly, hinting that it was enough. Samuel smiled lightly, gave me a look that said he would come back to get the benefits later, and then quietly disappeared behind the others. The others didn't understand the hint in his eyes at all, so I could only pinch my nose and accept it.
Without this troublemaker, it became much easier to deal with the remaining three people. I said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can go and see. Those monsters are still in the fog. I am not lying at all."
Three people, six eyes staring at me, would make anyone with a weak mentality feel like they would be crushed by the weight of their gazes. I looked at them calmly, thinking that as long as I didn't panic, no one would be able to see through me. And in this situation, I didn't believe that they would go and verify what I said.
Neil was the first to take the bait.
"Are you injured? Are your clothes dirty? Are you feeling unwell? Oh, by the way, I brought you a gift this time. It's made by me!"
Suddenly, a delicate bracelet appeared in his hand. It was as clear as snow, as glittering as dew, flowing with subtle magic, and making a light sound when the wind blew. He carefully put it on my wrist. The white bracelet reflected his eyes, reminiscent of the cold snow at dawn: "This is the sound stone in the abyss. I found the most beautiful one and made a bracelet for you myself."
Sean sneered: "You're using a mere stone to flatter? Aren't dragons said to be rich? How can they even be interested in something like this?"
"Eh? This won't work?"
Neil opened his eyes wide, like a frustrated puppy. If he had a tail, it would be hanging down now. The Knight Commander coughed and silently cast a condemning look: "Sound stones only grow in the depths of the abyss. They are rare and are the favorite of high-level demons, phantom sound demons. White is the most precious. In order to obtain these silver stones, Neil suffered a lot of injuries, and they have not healed yet."
The wolf was startled. Samuel laughed grimly and asked mischievously, "Do you feel a pang in your conscience? Why do you even bully a puppy, Mr. So-and-so?"
Odysseus finally got the chance to fight back, and commented sharply: "He has no conscience."
Sean's mouth twitched slightly, and he glared at Odysseus. Looking at Neil with wet eyes, he changed his words abruptly: "...It's quite beautiful if you look closely."
Neil didn't even raise his head this time, and said in a gloomy voice: "I know it's ugly... You don't have to comfort me, I will try my best to bring back a better gift next time..."
"......"
I held back my laughter, poked the back of Sean's hand and whispered to him, "How does it feel?"
The latter said in a sad tone: "When I die, I will have the word 'I'm sorry' carved on my bones and I will hold up the tombstone for him to see."
I burst out laughing. Neil mumbled and buried himself in my arms. He had a noble appearance, a high nose bridge, and a sense of exoticism from Western fantasy legends. His almost translucent platinum hair stuck to his cheeks, revealing only his sparkling eyes. The proud little prince looked at me and said, "Do you like it?"
It was as if if I said I didn't like it, he would go back to the abyss and get me another one. I had no doubt that Long would do this. I couldn't help but ruffle his hair and replied with a smile: "I like it, of course I like it. How can I not like the things you gave me?"
The beautiful eyes suddenly curved up, like precious purple gems, and a true heart appeared in front of him, shining like a diamond, making people feel warm and soft like freshly baked bread, fluffy and sweet.
"I was thinking about you when I was in the abyss. Did you miss me?"
"Of course. The first thing I did when I woke up was to ask where you and Neil had been. Have you treated your wounds?"
As soon as I asked, Neil clung to me like a melting marshmallow. He made a puppy-like humming sound from his throat. His face was full of the words "touch me, touch me!"
I was about to reach out my hand, but Sean got there first. The wolf transformed into a human form and grabbed my hand. Before I could react, he had already pulled me into his arms, covering me tightly. His untucked tail was wrapped around my waist, making it impossible to escape.
I pushed him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing?"
"Don't lie to me with that kind of talk. What kind of monster could stain your clothes? Don't think I didn't notice you were trying to change the subject... Never mind. I won't argue with you about this."
Sean snorted, still unwillingly sniffing my scent. Odysseus was furious: "Dragons can smell because they have a strong affinity for magic. What are you doing here?"
"Of course it's to protect the dignity of the wolf. Why can't I smell it?"
Sean tutted his tongue unwillingly, still maintaining this position. The Knight Commander gently smoothed things over: "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go back first. Sean, let go first."
The wolf reluctantly let go of my hand, his expression full of displeasure. The blond knight sighed, took off his cloak, and draped it over my arrow. The heavy cloak was like a falling cloud, softly wrapping me.
"How are you?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." I couldn't help but let my eyes wander, and I stammered in response. Odysseus frowned, "I will take people to clean up these monsters later, and nothing like this will happen again."
Remiel's gentle laughter appeared in my ears: "You are getting better and better at talking nonsense."
I subconsciously replied, "Don't talk nonsense, what nonsense."
The blond knight was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise. He pointed at himself uncertainly and said hesitantly: "...Are you talking to me?"
"......"
It's over.
Remiel, the mastermind, was still laughing in my ear, and the Knight Commander Remiel in front of me was gently asking about my health. Their voices were exactly the same, so I confused their words.
I even felt that Mastermind Remiel did it on purpose. I coughed, "Of course not... I just heard it wrong."
"Did you hear me wrong? That's not a good excuse." / "...I understand. You can always tell me if I did something wrong."
Two identical voices mixed together. I replied incoherently, but in the end I couldn't tell them apart. I couldn't help but frown. I shouted, "Enough!"
"...Huh?"
The poor blond knight was completely stunned. If emotions could be materialized, his head would definitely be full of question marks. Even the others looked over, their expressions full of confusion and surprise.
The voice in my ear suddenly disappeared, leaving me speechless. What on earth was the mastermind, Remiel, doing? I couldn't figure out his logic for a moment.
"...It's okay, sorry, I'm in a bad mood... Let's talk about something else. I have found the whereabouts of the goddess of nature. She is in Xia Ping'an's hands. Next, let's discuss countermeasures..."
I changed the subject while sweating profusely. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly realized something and looked stiffly at the Knight Commander.
Everyone realized this and looked at the blond knight. The latter lowered his eyelashes, his expression wavering between hesitation and confusion. After a moment, he looked at the others who were not surprised, and then looked at me: "...Who is Xia Pingan...you all know?"
Neil hesitated, and just as he was about to speak, he was covered by Sean's mouth. Long whimpered twice and wanted to speak, but Sean glared at him fiercely: "Shut up."
Odysseus also stood up and cleared the surrounding soldiers. Samuel and Sean tacitly pulled Neil and quickly cleared an area where only the Knight Commander and I were left.
"I..."
How could a person make such a big mess? I swallowed my saliva and was interrupted by the other party just as I was about to speak.
"If you don't want to explain, you don't have to tell me. I know you don't believe me. You can say you were thirsty or you can move me away. As long as you tell me, I will do it even without these reasons."
Remiel's voice was bitter and low, with a hint of loneliness. He stood there alone, his attitude still gentle, but for the first time he avoided my sight. I quickly explained: "No, I didn't mean that... Give me some time."
The blond knight just looked at me quietly, as if waiting for my words. With a little hope in my eyes, I gritted my teeth and immediately called out to the mastermind Remiel in my heart: "Don't play dead! What did you mean just now? And when will Remiel have the memory of another world?"
A soothing voice sounded beside my ears: "Haven't you discovered yet? The reason why people in these two worlds can communicate with each other's memories is because their spiritual powers come from the same source and are originally one. I am different from others and have no spiritual power. He is not another individual with differentiated spiritual power, so naturally he will not have my memories."
"......"
If Remiel doesn't have this shared memory, it means I have to tell him in person...about him being an NPC?
My pupils shrank slightly, and the main brain Remiel threw out the next question: "Moreover, [Remiel] has a dual personality. Aren't you curious why the other personality has never appeared in front of you? Or... have we been in front of you from the beginning?"
The Knight Commander was waiting for my answer.
But I skipped a beat because of what Mastermind Remiel said.
