An Ruosi was shocked, as if someone had pinched her throat, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.
A nervous look quickly appeared on his face.
It was only then that An Ruosi realized that the person in front of him was "Hellan" and not "Roland".
Having been with Roland for too long, An Ruosi's willpower has made him accustomed to Roland's fairy-like natural charm. But he ignored one thing, that is, those wizards who have not experienced the tempering ceremony do not seem to have the same willpower.
Not as strong as myself——
Even with An Ruosi's own willpower, she was still almost charmed when she saw Roland for the first time.
...Damn it, I shouldn’t have forgotten this.
An Ruosi's expression became obviously nervous.
Although Natalia didn't express anything out of the ordinary when she had brief exchanges with other witches... But it's different now.
On the premise that Roland's true gender is not known, the behavior between An Ruosi and Roland was too intimate by the standards of the opposite sex.
An Ruosi groaned secretly in her heart.
According to the initial agreement with Roland, he could not tell Natalia that Miss "Herland" was actually a male.
He also had some thoughts in his mind.
Roland did not use his original identity to appear, but took the risk of his lies being discovered and entered the White Tower using the identity of "Helllan". There must be a reason for him.
Either "Roland" is being hunted by someone in the White Tower, or Roland has something he can do without being discovered.
No matter what, An Ruosi believed that Roland could not do anything bad.
Mr. Roland must have his own thoughts and plans. As his friend, all I have to do is believe in him and support him——
If I reveal Roland's identity to Natalia at this time, it will be no different from betraying Roland.
This may very well lead to the failure of one of Roland's important plans - if it's more serious, it may even lead to Roland's death.
This is something An Ruosi absolutely cannot tolerate.
In the Oak Mystique, in the Xingia Tavern, on the outer level of the White Tower... An Ruosi couldn't remember how many times Roland had saved him. But he couldn't repay him.
The only thing he could do was to silently support Roland from behind.
Without Roland, he would have died countless times.
Repay kindness——
An Ruo thought about this sentence, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
...Although I will never betray Mr. Roland, but...
"...Mr. Roland, can you get up from me?"
An Ruosi said in a very low voice in Helan's ear.
"Hellan" showed a hint of fear.
She did not reply to An Ruosi's words, but just crawled out of his arms. She shrank and grabbed the corner of An Ruosi's clothes, hiding herself with An Ruosi's body.
By the time An Ruosi understood the meaning of this action, it was already a little too late——
The flesh of the back of his neck was grabbed. He didn't feel much pain, but he felt like his vitals were being held.
"You can do that, An Ruosi?"
Natalia pressed An Ruosi's neck very roughly, pushing An Ruosi's head down a bit.
But what was even colder than her hands was her voice: "Did you start thinking about your lover just after getting engaged? You are indeed a great wizard in the future."
"Wait, wait... I can explain..."
An Ruosi trembled and turned around with a smile.
What made him collapse was that Heerlan stepped forward "bravely" without taking it too seriously and stood in front of him tremblingly.
"Please, please stop!"
Heerlan raised his head and stared at Natalia, and made a timid, clear but unswerving voice: "Sister, please don't hit An Ruosi... Please don't use violence, can't you just talk it over..."
The black hair and ice-colored eyes that only Su Ze could have made Natalia have a natural affection for this girl. Her clean eyes, animal-like dress and delicate temperament made Natalia even more attracted to her.
Natalia vaguely liked her a little more.
Even, her height is less than 170cm, which is considered relatively short among Su Ze's girls.
This made Natalia even more suspicious of whether the girl was an adult.
"Your name is Heilan...how old are you this year?"
"I, I'm sixteen..."
The girl who was as clean as snow trembled when she was glanced at by Natalia. She lowered her head and answered in a low voice.
Immediately, Natalia's eyes towards Hellan became a little softer, and she obeyed her words and let go of the back of An Ruosi's neck that she was holding tightly.
An Ruosi was not in a relaxed mood at all.
After receiving Heerlan's answer, Natalia looked at him with an even sharper gaze.
If Natalia had only expressed anger and dissatisfaction before, now she was completely looking at scum.
There is no doubt that An Ruosi's mood is shattered at this moment.
...Mr. Roland, what are you causing trouble at this time? If you don’t know how to deal with it, you can just run away. Mr. An Ruosi could have dealt with it here——
——But I don’t know what to do if I ask you to do this!
"I felt quite strange at first," Natalia took a step back, clasped her hands on her chest and stared at An Ruosi, "Based on what I know about you, you probably don't have the guts to do this.
Such an outrageous thing... No, let alone doing such a thing, even if it makes you unable to think of it."
"It's none of my business." Robert suddenly interrupted, "They were already very familiar with each other when I met them on the outskirts of the Iron Curtain City."
"Don't make excuses, you can't get away with it either."
Natalia didn't hide the disgust in her eyes, turned around and glared at Robert with the eyes that were looking at a large pile of non-burnable garbage.
Then, she turned back and stared at An Ruosi, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
"I'll give you another chance. Where did you deceive this child?"
"I found it in the oak mystery lock..." An Ruosi spread her hands and replied with a wry smile.
As expected, An Ruosi's answer did not satisfy Natalia.
"An Ruosi, you have to remember that she is only sixteen years old! She is still a child!"
Natalia yelled at An Ruosi like a knight, and regardless of the girl's weak resistance, she grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to her side.
"Okay, okay..."
Natalia perfunctorily pulled Heilan from behind her. The girl with black hair reaching her waist puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction: "I kissed An Ruosi, just yesterday——"
Wait sister, that’s called artificial respiration!
An Ruosi almost cried.
"Varied--"
Natalia was furious.
"That's it!"
Before she could react, Heerlan kissed her on the forehead.
This behavior actually cooled her down. An Ruosi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with kissing, kissing the forehead is not an outrageous behavior. Even Titan has the etiquette of kissing a friend's forehead.
But when she made such a fuss, Natalia really had no mood to stay any longer.
"Hellan, you come with me. I'll find a way to place you first..."
"Wait, wait?"
Natalia directly grabbed Hellan's right arm with her left hand and pulled her away.
An Ruosi couldn't help but panic a little as she watched Heerlan being dragged away by Natalia.
He was not worried about Roland, but worried about Natalia's safety.
He wasn't too worried about Roland's character.
But An Ruosi was afraid that Natalia would make Roland angry, so Roland stabbed her to death with a sword...
The scene of Roland beheading the ghost girl in the Tomb of Thousand Heads still echoed in An Ruosi's mind.
"Wait, Natalia..."
As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Natalia frowned and turned back with a stern face.
"You don't need to say anything. I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with little Hellan... As for whether you saved her or lied to her, I will make my own judgment."
"Can……"
"Don't worry Heilan, you have to trust Natalia, she won't be violent to girls..."
Before he could say anything, Robert came from the side, grabbed An Ruosi's shoulders and comforted him.
An Ruosi couldn't break away for a moment, so he saw Natalia walking around the corner with Heilan, and he could no longer catch up.
He could only smile bitterly.
How else could An Ruosi explain? That she was not worried about Heerlan's safety, but worried about Natalia's safety?
Robert and Natalia didn't know that Heerland was actually Roland, a priest with silver-level strength...
"well……"
In the end, An Ruosi could only turn the depression in her heart into a sigh.
But at this moment, an elegant and calm young voice came from behind them——
"Long time no see, An Ruosi."
…Who is it?
For a moment, An Ruosi couldn't find the owner of this voice in her mind.
So he put aside his worries about Natalia for the time being and turned his head in confusion.
What caught his eye was an elegant young man with gold-rimmed glasses, black hair and black eyes, and a very tall height.
...is it him?
For different reasons, An Ruosi and Robert's pupils suddenly shrank. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piotian.net
