Mrs. Rose's eyes were fixed on Reg, and there seemed to be a hint of amusement in her eyes. Reg suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Before Reg could figure out what was wrong, Mrs. Rose's hand had already gently exerted force.
Click.
There was a soft crisp sound, and Reg's eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Mrs. Rose's face opposite, feeling shocked and amused at the same time.
Mrs. Rose's mask suddenly cracked from the middle. No, it wasn't cracked, it was separated.
A part of the Rose Mask that curved downward from the nose was actually taken off, revealing the lower half of Mrs. Rose's face, while the upper half of her face was still hidden behind the mask!
But just half of his face was enough to amaze Reg.
I don't know whether it is because she has been wearing a mask for many years, but Mrs. Rose's skin is so amazingly white, with an almost jade-like luster.
Mrs. Rose's lips... are very beautiful. Reg really can't think of other adjectives. Maybe Reg is a little clumsy in this aspect.
Although it was only half a face, it already made Reg's eyes light up, and he didn't look away for a while.
I don’t know how long it took before Reg came back to his senses. He looked away from Mrs. Qiangwei’s face in a daze. After all, the person sitting opposite him was his teacher, staring at him blankly.
Doesn't seem good...
The corners of Madam Rose's mouth were slightly raised. Seeing Reg's despair at that moment, Madam Rose was not at all angry, but rather a little happy.
Mrs. Qiangwei's name is Madam, but she is not very old. However, due to her prestige, most people have forgotten her age.
"Wouldn't it be possible to eat now?"
There was a bit of mischievous pride in Mrs. Rose's eyes. She knew that Reg wanted to watch her take off her mask. Now, she was teasing him a little. Looking at his appearance, Mrs. Rose suddenly felt quite happy.
.
Reg came back to his senses and raised his head. Most of the purple rose mask covered most of her face, but the cold silver mask, the fair skin and the delicate lips formed an increasingly hazy charm that made people
There is an urge in my heart to peel off the entire mask and see the true face.
"I didn't expect this mask of yours, Madam, to be so exquisite. It's been the first time in more than a year that I discovered that it turns out to be composed of two parts." Reg sighed softly, looking at Madam Rose's face, but he couldn't bear it.
She couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of her heart: "Madam, you are really beautiful."
Mrs. Rose's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little shy. If she was wearing a mask, she would never be able to see it, but now Reg could see it clearly.
"I wouldn't have taken off the mask if I had known it earlier, and then you took it off and you started talking nonsense."
Mrs. Rose's voice sounded like a scolding, but even the most stupid person could hear the happiness that could not be concealed in her voice.
Mrs. Qiangwei picked up the bottle of wine, shook it towards Reg and said, "You know how to drink?"
Reg nodded with a smile. Mrs. Rose picked up two glasses and filled them with wine. Reg quickly reached out and took one cup.
"Reg..." Mrs. Rose picked up the wine glass, stared at Reg's face, hesitated for a moment, seemed to want to say something, but in the end she turned into three simple words: "Thank you."
Reg was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his cup, touched it slightly with Mrs. Rose's cup, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
My bet, madam, you are serious about your words. If you have to say thank you like this, then this bottle of wine is not even enough for me to say thank you to you..."
Mrs. Qiangwei smiled softly, revealing her white teeth, which glowed with a moving luster even under the dim light.
Mrs. Rose looked at Reg, but did not expand on this topic, but suddenly asked: "Can you tell me your past story?"
Reg looked at Mrs. Rose in surprise. There was a bit of stubborn persistence in Mrs. Rose's eyes, as if she wanted to hear what she had to say. Reg nodded helplessly and said, "Actually, I really don't have anything to say.
, when my parents died when I was young, I became a hunter and made a living by helping with work and hunting on the island. When I got older, I became a specialized hunter..."
Mrs. Qiangwei sighed softly, and there was something strange in her eyes. She poured herself another glass of wine, picked up the glass, drank it all, put down the glass, and then let out a long breath.
"Actually, I am also an orphan. I live on the streets without enough food or warm clothes. When I was a child, I often came here to beg for food. Uncle Phils always gave me some food and told me that if I was hungry,
Come here and get it, he's a good guy."
Madam Rose is an orphan?
This was the first time that Reg heard Mrs. Rose talk about his affairs, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He vaguely felt that Mrs. Rose seemed a little sad today, maybe because she remembered the past.
"I remember very clearly that on the day I was five years old, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it again. I came to Phil's stall again and met the teacher. At that time, the teacher took Senior Sister Carmena here to eat and saw
When I was walking, the teacher seemed a little surprised and stopped me. I was very scared at the time, but the teacher asked me gently about my family..."
"Later, I went with my teacher, who taught me alchemy and found me a very powerful magic teacher who treated us like his own daughter... I was very happy at that time and felt very lucky."
"It's just that when I was fifteen years old, my teacher left us because of an accident. Because of this, the relationship between my senior sister and I as good sisters ended here. At that time, I was even very
Hate her, because if she hadn’t insisted on those damn black and blue magic fungi, the teacher wouldn’t have gone to collect those black and blue magic fungi, but something unexpected happened..."
After hearing this, Reg finally understood the origin of the feud between Mrs. Rose and Carmena, and also understood why Carmena had a bit of guilt in her eyes when she talked about the death of Mrs. Rose's teacher.
"Before the teacher died, he seemed to know that we would break up with each other because of this, so he gave the ambergris pills to Senior Sister Carmena, who was stronger than me at the time, and gave me his alchemy experience handbook. In terms of alchemy,
My talent is slightly higher than that of Senior Sister Carmena..."
Reg was a little surprised, why did Mrs. Rose's teacher give these two very precious things to the two of them separately, but soon Reg seemed to understand.
The Alchemy Experience Notebook is what Carmena needs, and the Ambergris Pill is also what Madam Rose needs. Perhaps their teacher deliberately divided these things into two and gave them to the two of them, hoping that the two could exchange them peacefully and gain mutual benefits.
Please understand.
The person who knows the two of them the most is definitely their teacher.
Thinking of this, Reg was full of respect for this elder whom he had never met before. He did not resent Carmena at all, and hoped that the two could have a good relationship. This painstaking effort...
Having said this, Mrs. Qiangwei drank another cup, and a delicate blush began to appear on her originally fair face.
Reg looked at Mrs. Rose and asked cautiously: "Madam, do you still hate President Carmena now?"
There was confusion in Mrs. Qiangwei's eyes. After a long while, she slowly shook her head and said, "I wanted to get the ambergris pill, and she also wanted to get the alchemy experience handbook, but neither of us wanted to admit defeat. I
I was unwilling to forgive her, so I made a ten-year bet. During these ten years, although I returned to Dongjue City, I never saw her."
"I always thought that I hated her, so I also hoped to beat her hard once. But in the past few days, after seeing her every day, I found that the original hatred in my heart was decreasing day by day, and the remaining
All I feel is confusion and helplessness..."
Hearing what Mrs. Rose said, Reg felt relieved. Hatred is a double-edged sword. While it hurts others, it also hurts himself. Reg has nothing to do with Carmena, but he doesn't want to
Mrs. Rose lives in hatred all day long.
"Madam, when you and President Carmena's teacher gave the things to you two before he died, I think this meant that he hoped that you could unite and not hold grudges against each other..."
Reg said a little cautiously, hoping to enlighten Mrs. Rose.
Mrs. Qiangwei stared at Reg with her bright eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, what you said many years ago, I already figured it out. It's just that once the heart has entered hatred, it is difficult to get out. After all, I was young.
I am lonely and already regard my teacher as a father-like existence..."
Reg nodded understandingly. With Mrs. Rose's intelligence, how could she not understand her teacher's purpose? I'm afraid not only her, but even Carmena also understood it.
The air suddenly seemed to be a little more depressing. Reg was eating silently, but Mrs. Rose ate less and drank more. There was sadness and nostalgia in her eyes that Reg had never seen before.
Perhaps, at the table where the two of them were sitting at this moment, Mrs. Rose met her teacher. It was also here that her life changed. More importantly, she found a teacher who loved her and loved her.
A love that has been lost since.
The night was sinking by the minute, but the whole shop was very quiet. Phils went into his room to rest. There were only two people in the whole shop, Mrs. Rose and Reg.
Mrs. Qiangwei filled the wine glasses for the two of them again, but found that the wine bottle was empty. Mrs. Qiangwei raised the wine glass and said softly: "Thank you for accompanying me here today..."
Reg smiled softly, but before he spoke, his expression suddenly changed slightly. At the same time, both of them turned towards the door at the same time.
A low sigh rippled outside the door, but it reached the ears of the two of them very clearly: "Drinking, I wonder if you can add me?"
