"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Ringer!" Standing at the intersection going down the mountain, Songtaya held the basket in one hand and waved hard at Ringer with the other hand, with a bright smile on her face: "About
Please tell Dad the answer I just gave you!"
"Yes." Lin Ge nodded slightly and replied at a volume that she could just hear: "I will tell him the truth, don't worry."
"That's good!"
The girl was then satisfied, carrying a small bamboo basket, and jumped down the mountain. Although she could actually see her father when she returned, she did not dare to tell him about it, fearing that her decision would upset her only relative.
I was disappointed, so I entrusted Ringer to do it for me.
But in fact, she didn't need to worry at all. Based on Ringer's understanding of Chief Wilhelm, he knew that no matter what decision she made, the taciturn man would not be dissatisfied at all. Because he is a very good father.
Understand how to understand and respect the wishes of your children.
It’s strange to say that since Ringo set out on his journey, every parent he met was reasonable, always putting their children’s wishes first and fully respecting their opinions. From Rorona’s mother, Neri
Her Majesty Emira, the Queen of Edes, turned a blind eye to her daughter's unauthorized escape. To Xino's father, the bigot Leonard who charged at the windmill, he wanted to give his daughter the freedom to choose her life path.
The right to bravely challenge an extremely powerful enemy...
Let's go to Sontaya's father, Chief Wilhelm, who looks strict on the surface, but is actually an open-minded man. Without his guidance and tolerance, I'm afraid Sontaya wouldn't be able to grow into an optimistic and cheerful child.
.
Sure enough, are the unreasonable, rigid and stubborn parents in the novel script just an image deliberately created by the writers in order to intensify the conflicts in the plot?
Watching the girl's back disappear at the end of the mountain road, gradually turning into an inconspicuous little black dot in the snowy valley of the mountains, Lin Ge withdrew his gaze, fell on a towering cedar tree, and said in a calm tone: "How long do you want to hide? Yes.
Come out on your own, or wait for me to catch you?"
There was silence for a while, no response, the surroundings were so quiet that it was as if you could even hear the sound of a snowflake falling to the ground.
Ringer was indifferent, still staring at the big cedar tree, while silently counting down in his heart: three, two, one...
"whispering sound!"
A familiar cold snort came from the tree crown, and then there was a rustling sound, the branches trembled, the snow fell, and a small head with a mess of white hair emerged from the dark green branches and leaves.
, stared at Ringer with fierce eyes, and asked sternly: "My disguise is perfect, how did you find me!?"
Lin Ge was speechless and pointed at her back. Leticia turned around and found that her bat wings had leaked out at some point. The dark black bat wings were set off by the gray-white snow. It would have been more conspicuous.
How conspicuous.
The little bat's cheeks turned red, like an apple in midsummer. She folded the bat wings silently, and then bared her sharp fangs at Ringer to show intimidation, but she didn't look very fierce.
, on the contrary, it has a bit of a lusty and bitter taste.
"Well, you're lucky!" She still didn't give up her stubbornness and said firmly: "I won't let you find out next time, just wait for me!"
If you say yes, then so be it.
Lin Ge was too lazy to care about it, just before that——
"Before that," Lin Ge looked at her: "Should I first explain why you are here? If I remember correctly, you should have returned to Cloud Whale Sky Island with Xiaoxia and Xino, right?"
"Well!"
Leticia hiccuped, then turned her head away, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at the young man: "This, this, there are actually very complicated reasons. People who understand will naturally understand. People who don't understand, just tell me
I don’t understand either. When I look at you, you don’t seem to understand very well, so there is no need to tell you. When you understand, you can ask me again..."
Lin Ge's face darkened: What kind of mess?
Leticia also knew that her answer was unreliable, and she felt a little worried. Could she say that she came here secretly on the pretext of losing something? Although it was the truth, it seemed more irritating.
But then I thought about it, why should I be afraid that Ringer will be angry? Whether he is angry or not, what does it have to do with me? If I am too scared, won’t it make me care about his feelings? Who would care about such a guy!
Once this idea arose, it was difficult to contain it. With the support of theory, she regained the psychological advantage over Ringer. She immediately held her head high and pointed her chin at Ringer, with an arrogant expression that said, "What can you do to me?"
Ringer: "..."
Where did she get the confidence, did Alice give it?
"Come down." Lin Ge raised his eyebrows at her.
"I don't!" Leticia expressed her dissatisfaction: Why should I have to come down if you say so? Doesn't this make me lose face?
Linger didn't want to get entangled with her on such a small issue, so he directly used the ultimate weapon: "If you don't come down, I will tell Miss Neville exactly what happened here today - well, not a word.
"
The little bat's face suddenly became extremely ugly: Damn it, you actually used grandma to suppress me! What's a lot of words, the subtext is, if I don't cooperate, there may be more content?
What a despicable person!
Unfortunately, even though he was so despicable, Leticia had no way to counterattack. She could only climb down from the tree in frustration, using her stubborn eyes, unyielding lips, and disdainful expression as her last resistance.
.
Ringer asked directly: "After all, how much have you heard?"
"Every word is a lot!"
Leticia replied in a harsh tone, deliberately using Ringer's original words in an attempt to anger him.
It's a pity that Ringer managed his expression very well, and his demeanor remained calm and unchanged: "You should know that some of these words cannot be said out loud, especially to Metien, do you understand?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why?" Leticia expressed dissatisfaction: "What if Metien has a way to solve her problem?"
Lin Ge looked at her strangely: Why do you feel like this?"
"Because that guy's situation is similar to that of Miss Livia. Miss Livia was influenced by Metien and decided to join Cloud Whale Sky Island. Then Songtaya can do it too!" Leticia vowed and just listened.
The tone is indeed convincing, but the evidence is not that strong.
Influence... Hearing this adjective, the corners of the young man's mouth twitched slightly. Although he wanted to correct it, he somehow felt that it fit the actual situation. In the end, he could only force himself to ignore it, shook his head and rejected Lei.
Tisia's suggestion: "It's useless. The situations they face are different, so what works for Sister Livia may not necessarily work for Sontaya."
Sister Livia was first betrayed by the True Spirit Sect... or sacrificed, and she also learned the truth about the artificial kingship. Only when her faith was strongly impacted did she regard Medien as the last root.
Life-saving straw. But Songtaya has never encountered such things. She has been well protected by her tribe from beginning to end, so she is willing to dedicate herself to the tribe.
This kind of concept cannot be reversed with just one or two sentences.
"So you gave up?"
There was a trace of disdain in the eyes of the little bat: "Because you find it difficult, do you ignore people who need help? I want to tell Metien about this! Let her know that her brother is actually a coward!"
"Don't tell her."
The young man rubbed his brows, feeling rather troubled, but not because of Leticia's threat, but because: "When did you become so concerned about her affairs? I remember your relationship wasn't very good, wasn't it?"
The "she" here naturally refers to Songta Ya. Just now, the two little girls were playing some kind of bullfighting game in front of Ringer. Now, Leticia changed her offensive and began to care about Songta Ya.
Regarding Alice, could it be that their relationship is actually very good? Ringer remembered that Alice had a word that could very well describe this state: "Are you a tsundere?"
"Who, who, is being arrogant!"
Leticia blushed on the spot, with an angry expression like "How can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air", and at the same time defended herself with bared teeth: "Of course she and I are enemies! That fierce and impolite hillbilly, who?
So and so is friends with her? But, but, precisely because we are enemies, we have to care about her even more!"
What kind of fallacy is this?
Ringer raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing doubt.
"You don't understand this!" Leticia felt proud when she saw that she had actually stumped Linge. She held her two little hands together and said in a lecturing tone: "Grandma once said, care about the enemy.
It is to show one's generosity and at the same time it is the margin of the strong. Because only the strong who are in an invincible position are qualified to care about the enemy. Obviously, my concern for Sontaya is the mercy of the strong towards the weak.
, is upright, kind, and full of benevolence and righteousness! Do you understand?"
"I roughly understand." Lin Ge said expressionlessly, "It seems reasonable, but it's actually just an excuse."
"That's not an excuse!" Leticia was furious and bared her fangs at him: "Be careful I bite you!"
Do you plan to use your mouth when you can't convince others? Ringer has every reason to believe that this is influenced by Xie Mi, because that little goblin likes to use her mouth when she can't convince others, and at those times, Leticia is often the victim.
The person who was there has now transformed into a perpetrator.
What a sad change.
"Humph, it's good to be afraid!" Leticia mistook Linger's silence for fear. While she was satisfied with her own deterrence, she also mercifully let him go. After all, teaching Linger a lesson is not the best thing to do now.
The important thing is: "It's okay not to tell Metien, I have other ways!"
"Oh?" Lin Ge asked subconsciously: "You also have a plan?"
"Of course! Don't compare me to Stinky Alice!"
Leticia was very dissatisfied. It seemed that Alice's reputation as a wise general was already known to everyone on Cloud Whale Sky Island. Ringer was all ears to listen to her speech. As a result, he heard the little bat proudly say: "It's very simple. Just let her drink it."
A drop of my blood can solve everything?"
What kind of proposal is this?
Ringer was slightly surprised: "You are actually willing to share your blood? It seems that you really like Sontaya."
"Nonsense!" Leticia sneered at the result: "When did I stop giving up blood? It's obviously you who refused, right?"
Ringer then remembered that when he first arrived on the island, Leticia offered to share blood with him, but he refused on the grounds that it was unhygienic. Not only him, but others also rejected the proposal, unwilling to
Leticia's curse becomes even more severe.
In this way, Little Bat is indeed quite generous. As long as she likes someone, she will not be stingy with a drop of blood. It's just that there were too few people who could like her in the past. Songtaya can be compared with her.
Feelings coming?
"It's enough if you have this intention, but to be honest, it's not a very good idea."
Ringer shook his head and rejected her proposal. Seeing Leticia still looked unconvinced, he explained a few more words: "First of all, Miss Neville will definitely not agree. Your curse has finally been relieved.
, it’s better not to do this kind of thing; secondly, Songtaya will definitely not agree, and the reason for her refusal is probably the same as the reason why you want to help her; finally, even if the two of them agree, they probably won’t
Use, because before Sontaya is sacrificed as the core of the ceremony to invite the gods, her soul will first be refined by the god of conception. Even if your blood can revive her, who can be sure that the one you revive is the original Sontaya.
Or the refined Sontaya? If it’s the latter, it’s better not to save her.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Uh!" Leticia frowned deeply.
Although that last sentence was cold, it was... impossible to refute.
Living as a refined believer of a god is actually a very sad thing. Humans with normal values would find it difficult to accept it. At least, based on Leticia's understanding of Sontaya, she knew that she would definitely not
accepted.
"Then," she was still a little unwilling and bit her lower lip: "Am I just going to watch and do nothing?"
"This is her own choice, how can we interfere?" Linge hesitated, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked Leticia's head. The latter did not resist, but accepted this in silence.
Comfort: "Also, don't think about things so pessimistically. After all, the holding of the god-inviting ceremony is only a small probability event. Chief Wilhelm said that Songtaya has three seniors of the same nature as her, but
They died normally before they had time to play their role as the core of the ritual. Therefore, it is possible for Sontaya to finish her life peacefully like them."
Listening to Ringer's words, whether it was mostly comforting or he really thought so, at least Leticia's mood improved a little: You're right, that stupid and violent mountain bumpkin, maybe
One day she was bitten to death by a rabbit while hunting? Considering her IQ, this is very likely to happen!
After thinking about it, the little bat stopped worrying and turned to focus on another thing: "Hey!"
She bared her fangs at Linge and spoke in a ferocious tone, but for some reason, there was still a slight blush on her fair cheeks: "How long are you going to keep your hand on my head! Be careful if I put it on my head."
Bite it off!"
"..."
Lin Ge silently retracted his hand, thinking to himself, what a fierce little girl.
I have decided not to hide it for her. After I return, I will tell Her Majesty the Countess exactly what happened here, so that this ungrateful little bat can receive a love education again.
"Hmph!"
Leticia, who didn't know what Ringer was thinking, let out a cute hum from her nostrils, which was like a warning and a demonstration. I don't know why, besides being angry, she was also a little happy now, but...
Why do you feel like this? It must be because I defeated Ringer again and made him feel weak, right?
