"friend"
It was boring to just sit there and wait, so Ansel spontaneously went to the kitchen to make tea, got some bread, and brought it back to share with Elena.
Elena also took out nuts and snacks from her space ring and shared them with Ansel.
"By the way, do you know why Leonard went to the Sea of Mist a while ago?" Ansiel asked curiously. "I don't mean any harm. I just thought he was a good friend of yours and you might know. I was just asking casually. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Elena thought for a moment and chose a simple, vague explanation. "I don't know the details. I only know that Leonard went to the Sea of Mist because he accepted a mission. As for who issued this mission or what it was about, I don't know. I only know that the mission was not completed."
Ansel stared at Elena, waiting for her to say more.
Elena blinked her big eyes, and under his stare, she couldn't stand it anymore and uttered another word.
She leaned closer to Ansiel and whispered, "It seems there was an important target we were looking for, but that target has disappeared."
After saying that, Elena immediately distanced herself from Ansel and sat upright and obediently.
Ansel's curiosity was piqued, and he immediately asked, "What is it? Why is it gone?"
Elena shook her head. "I really don't know about that. I only know that Leonard didn't complete the mission, so he specially found something else to replace it and gave it to his employer as compensation. He said he couldn't damage his reputation."
Speaking of this, Elena sincerely praised Leonard again: "Leonard's credit reputation is really excellent. He is thorough and tight-lipped. His prices are not high. If he can't complete the task, he will find a way to compensate the client. Such a top-level mercenary is really unique in the world."
Ansel looked at her for several seconds before he exclaimed.
"I know you have a good relationship, but you don't have to praise me so much in front of me." He really couldn't stand it. Such serious and sincere praise was more unbearable to him than ordinary flattery.
If Ansel was complaining to a lady from a noble family, she would definitely blush, but the person hearing it now was Elena.
In her original world, in that complex and colorful online world where everyone's emotions are expressed all over the world, what kind of words has she not seen or heard?
Ansiel's little bit of humorous complaint was nothing.
So now Elena also smiled very calmly: "I am telling the truth. Leonard is really a good person and a friend worth making close friends with."
Ansiel exclaimed again.
The two chatted casually and shared snacks. It didn't take long, maybe 20 minutes, before Leonard came down the stairs.
"Elena, it's getting late, let's go back." Leonard said to Elena.
Elena stood up and responded obediently: "Yeah."
Then Leonard and Elena said goodbye to Ansiel and left.
Ansiel looked at the two people's backs as they left, touched his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.
After the two men disappeared from view, Ansiel turned and went up the stairs.
Mage Tower, 4th floor.
"I think there might be something between them." Ansel said to the dean with a gossipy tone.
The dean smiled and said, "We've only met a few times, and you've figured it out?"
"This is a special feeling that only those who have experienced it can feel." Ansel blinked.
Although Ansel is plain-looking and sometimes speaks sharply, he has a rich love history. He has had several girlfriends and two marriages. As for the dean, a 300-year-old bachelor, Ansel's "wink" was very divine and brought out the ridicule of married people towards the 300-year-old bachelor.
The dean laughed heartily. He did not feel offended at all and was very open-minded.
"Okay, tell me." The dean said with a smile.
"I think Leonard pays too much attention to Elena and is very concerned about her emotions. As for Elena," Ansel touched his chin, "she probably has feelings for Leonard, but they're far inferior to how Leonard feels about her."
The dean smiled and said nothing.
Ansel suddenly approached the dean and said slyly, "If they really can become a couple, dean, you will have a capable helper."
A demigod. If Elena can really tie up Leonard, then the dean will have two demigods. In the future, if there are any major issues that need to be voted on, the dean will no longer be alone.
Isn’t the reason why the three major churches are so powerful because they have so many demigods?
Life Radiance Church Two.
The quiet night teaches two.
One is the Church of the Lord of Light.
However, this may not be the case in the future.
The dean looked at Ansel, smiled, and sighed softly.
"Don't force things like this. You can't force fate. Just let them be. Don't interfere."
Ansiel assured: "I know, I won't interfere."
On the other side, Elena and Leonard left the Royal Magic Academy through the teleportation array and returned to the town of Fessen.
On the way back to the Viscount's Mansion from the front of the castle, Leonard suddenly said, "I heard everything you said about me."
? ?Um? ?
Elena suddenly realized: "Oh, you are talking about the compliments I said to Senior Brother Ansiel?"
Leonard lowered his head slightly and turned to look at her. Under the dim street lights, his profile had a movie poster-like beauty.
Leonard smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm very happy."
Elena also smiled happily: "I'm telling the truth."
After walking a few more steps, the gate of the Viscount's Mansion was right in front of them, and Leonard spoke again.
"Do you think I have any shortcomings that need to be corrected? Like my love of money?"
Elena shook her head: "I don't think it's a shortcoming. How can liking money be considered a shortcoming? Everyone has preferences. It can only be said to be human nature."
Who doesn't like money?
She likes it very much herself.
"Besides, you make money through your own abilities and have never cheated anyone." Elena looked up at Leonard, "Your hard work is worth the money you earn."
Following these words, the two of them walked into the gate of the Viscount's Mansion.
The bright lights of the Viscount's Mansion poured down from overhead, enveloping Leonard. Like sunlight and warm breeze, he suddenly felt like he was back home.
Elena's voice still came from beside him: "Your love for money is not a problem, nor is it a shortcoming. The real problem is that you seem to be using this method to alienate yourself from others."
With just a few words, Leonard's brisk steps suddenly stiffened.
Leonard turned his head slowly, his mood churning, and it felt like a large piece of bread was stuffed in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Elena raised her head, her bright smile facing him: "But it doesn't matter, everyone has their own temper, we are friends, I will tolerate you."
Elena said this very frankly, and it was sincere from her heart. She really didn't think this was a problem, because she was the same. Psychologically and in life, she wanted to keep a certain distance from others and have her own space. It should be said that it was not just her, but everyone in her world had a psychological need for independent space.
What's more, Elena's family of origin was not harmonious. She had always been isolated since she was a child. She only felt indifference and perfunctory treatment from everyone, so she was not used to being close to others.
So she thought it was best for Leonard, with his personality, to be her friend.
When you are free and in a good mood, chat and work together.
When they were busy, they would assign their own tasks and do their own things. For example, during the two months when Leonard took the mission to the Sea of Mist, both of them lived very well.
When they have secrets, they keep them secret and do not interfere with each other. She does not ask about his secrets, and he does not ask about her secrets.
And the best part is that they have been doing business together without any conflicts at all.
How rare it is. Whether they are true friends or not can be clearly seen from two things. One is borrowing a large amount of money, and the other is working together. Working together is more difficult than borrowing a large amount of money. There are countless friends whose cooperation has broken down, and those who can cooperate for a long time are rare.
The gap in status between her and Leonard was so huge that if Leonard was a little stronger and greedier, he could have exploited her and made her a social animal working for him, adding to his wealth. But he didn't. Not only did he not do that, he also completely trusted her and took whatever she said as the truth.
Where can I find such a good person, such a friend?
This is the most perfect friend in the world.
"But it doesn't matter. Everyone has their own temper. We are friends, and I will tolerate you." Elena had no idea how much of an impact her words had on Leonard.
The "bread" in Leonard's throat suddenly disappeared. His heart was beating rapidly, and he felt an irrepressible joy in his heart. His mind even went blank for a moment.
He looked at Elena, and in a trance, he asked, "Then, what is there about me that you can't tolerate or don't want to tolerate?"
Speaking of this, Elena frowned and thought seriously for a while, then answered him very seriously.
"Can you shave off your beard?"
Leonard: ???
Elena: "It's not that I think it's ugly, it's just that I personally prefer a clean and smooth face."
Well, it's just a matter of personal aesthetic preference. Having a beard, no matter it's a big beard, a small mustache, or just stubble, makes you look old in Elena's eyes. She is a girl who is 18 years old inside and 15 years old outside. She is not old enough to appreciate a mature uncle.
What she likes is clean, young, beautiful, handsome and strong men.
