Chapter 3253 Coin Game
Chapter 3250 Coin Game
"With Vanne, ahem, sorry, I mean I know Miss Benanice, and I visited the Golden Dawn Opera House in the Randall Valley during my trip. I was caught by the lady while watching the performance at the local Wilde Opera House. She wanted to lock me up and study me, but in the end, the kind Miss Ruthers stopped her.
Something happened afterwards. She asked me to stay in the Randall Valley and refused to let me go. When spring came, I forced me to perform around with the opera troupe. During this period, we had a lot of stories, and we had a relationship without realizing it."
Xia De touched Xiao Mia and sighed and said a lie against his will:
"One day, she suddenly said to me: Go, don't let me see you again, the farther you go, the better. I was helping the girls in the troupe to choose clothes for the performance, so I thought she was testing me, so I didn't leave. Later, our relationship became better and better. Until that autumn, I took the initiative to say goodbye to her, and she gave me a hug crying and invited me to go back and see it on behalf of everyone in the troupe."
This is a script of a romantic story created by Vanessa with herself as the protagonist, assuming that "the first person to meet Xia De was not Galina but me". I have to admit that she is indeed very talented in screenwriter. Every part of the story has been rationally conceived. Even the big witch of the sun who is listening to the story at this moment has only learned the story through this short story:
"So you and her"
"I met again later in the early morning, so she said it was a long time ago."
So Claire Reinhardt thought he had fully understood and he did not seem to be at a big disadvantage.
"As for meeting Miss Sylvia, it was at Virondale."
He told the story written by Sylvia, which fully reflects her character:
"I went to a local school to visit my friend who had known for a vampire who had run a winery. When I left, I accidentally saw her doing academic reports at the classroom window. I was attracted by this young girl who was proficient in number theory, so I ran to the back of the classroom to listen to the lecture, and then she discovered me. However, unlike Miss Benanice, Miss Sylvia did not reveal her identity from the beginning, but invited me to be her research assistant.
She originally wanted to use this excuse to discover my secret, but we got along more and more. One day, an important paper from her was accepted, and she invited me to have dinner at a luxury restaurant in Virondale. During this time, she told me about the witch, curse and other things, and wanted me to be her student."
Xia De took a deep breath, and he knew that he would definitely apologize many times for telling these lies in the future:
"It's almost that's it, but I didn't agree. She didn't let me go, and then we fought. She was only ten rings back then, only one level higher than me, so we tied. We were all exhausted at that time, so we lay down together on the hills outside the city and watched the moon spend that night, and then she let me go."
The sun's witch nodded slightly, thinking that the youngest girl in the parliament was indeed more capable, but she only put her relationship on the "friend" level in the end:
"Speaking of this, what age is yours?"
She asked Xia De curiously again, talking about the age of a man is not a taboo topic, and Xia De said according to her general saying:
"22 years old."
The big witch opposite nodded. Although she had known that the other party was young for a long time, she didn't expect that her real age was really as young as her appearance. In order to prevent her from being talked about her age - she was obviously much older than a foreigner, then she started to talk to Xia De about politics.
In the past two days, the newspapers of the Principality of Lagson have been promoting the fact that the representatives of Delareon and Carsonrick are preparing to meet and talk in the Principality. There is no definite conclusion on whether the meeting place between the two sides is Lomari or Shilun City, but the newspaper believes that the former is more likely.
When the topic ended, the main course and salad had been removed, and the waiter delivered the blueberry pudding as a dessert to the table. The witch picked up the wine glass and touched Xia De for a while, then turned around and looked at the night view of Shiluncheng outside the window, and unexpectedly raised her eyebrows a few seconds later.
After the waiter left, she said softly:
"I just saw an acquaintance."
"Acquaintance? People in the town?"
Xia De inquired, and the witch shook her head gently:
"I was a friend I played with when I was a child when I was still on the island. Later, their family moved to the city and I haven't seen her for more than ten years. I just saw her passing through the square in a dress of men."
"Do you want to catch up and take a look?"
Xia De asked again, and the witch's light golden eyes moved from the window to the face of the young man holding a wine glass opposite the table, with a smile on her face. She admitted that she was in a daze. Under the lights of candlelight and crystal chandeliers, and in the melodious sound of the violin in the restaurant, she felt that she was seeing the moon in her dream:
"No need, everyone has their own secrets, just like you."
Xia De put down the wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his face became softer:
"So, what else do you want to know?"
The witch blinked at him and then took out a 1-crown coin from her bag:
"How about we play a small game? Guess the front and back of the coin and only play three rounds. The loser needs to answer a question from the winner, of course, it cannot be an excessive question. This helps us deepen our understanding of each other. I know you are very curious about me, right?"
Xia De was not curious. Jialina and the others said everything they should say and should not say, but he thought of his "undercover mission":
"It sounds very interesting, but I'm going to state in advance that I'm very lucky."
Miss Reinhardt covered her mouth and smiled very ladylikely:
"My luck is also very good at the foot of this snow-capped mountain. So I will treat it as if you are willing to play. Which side do you want?"
"Please allow me to get some luck first."
Xia De said and touched Xiaomia, and the cat cried gently, and when he looked up at Xia De, there was a glimmer of candlelight in his amber eyes.
“That side of the numbers.”
"Okay, then I'm the other side."
Instead of tossing the coin, she twisted it gently and made the coin spin on the tablecloth. Xia De wiped his hands with a handkerchief and when he put it aside, he saw the coin gradually stopping. It turned out that the number was facing upward.
The young girl with platinum hair shook her head regretfully:
"Well, Mr. Watson, as a gentleman, what questions do you want to ask me?"
"Do you like cats?"
He asked, and the lady across the table made a somewhat angry expression:
"I am willing to accept the loss. If I lose, I lose. Don't ask me questions like this. Oh, Mr. Watson, you think you are gentlemanly, but you can't actually like the girls. Facing a beautiful girl who clinks glasses with you, are you not curious about her at all?"
Seeing that the early preparation was completed, Xia De made a thoughtful expression and asked:
"Okay, I asked you if you don't want to answer, you can say nothing about it - why did you quarrel with Elder Harald and leave the island?"
He didn't think he could only win once, so he didn't ask the question that might be very sensitive at the beginning. The witch was not surprised by Xia De's question. She held her chin with her hands and looked at Xia De's eyes with her light glowing eyes. Even the best painter could not imagine the scenery in Xia De's eyes out of thin air:
"That's not a very complicated thing. When I was young, I meant that when I was young, I studied in Virondale City. After graduation, my grandfather wanted me to stay locally to inherit his career, or responsibilities.
But I don’t want to be trapped in this small place. I want to see a wider world. I want to see and experience more stories. So I had a big fight with my grandfather, and then left my hometown in anger."
She picked up her wine glass again, and at this moment there was only a light blush at the bottom of the glass. She aimed the goblet's body at the candlelight on the table, letting her eyes look at the fire and Xia De through the redness. Although the eleventh-level witch would not be drunk, she felt that she was inexplicably slightly drunk:
"That happened three years ago. But in fact, I didn't have that big conflict with my grandfather, and I have been looking for opportunities to apologize to him. So this time I received his letter and rushed back immediately. But after the All Spirit Day, I should still leave."
Xia De believes that she is likely to not be able to leave. Judging from the strange things that have happened in recent days, Xia De is almost certain that the ninth selected person is on this island.
"What about you? Do you have any plans after the All Spirit Day?"
She put down the cup and asked Xia De with a hazy look. The atmosphere was very good. After eating and drinking, people would always have thoughts that would not normally arise. However, before Xia De opened his answer, she smiled and shook her head:
"No, I haven't won yet, so you don't need to answer me - would you still guess the numbers?"
"Yes."
The coin was turned for the second time, and this time it was Shade's victory. Miss Reinhardt, with long platinum blond hair, smiled very gently. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shade. The meaning in her light golden eyes was clearly to let Shade continue to ask.
"I think Miss Benanice and the others thought you were going to the New World with Miss Larson, so why do you lie and go here? The Council should not discriminate against tribes, right?"
The witch smiled with her lips hooked;
"Of course not. I just have some personal reasons. OK, this is not a complicated issue. I just don't want them to realize that I am a happy family. You don't know many witches, probably don't know that most of the big witches live alone, and I am the one with the most happy family among them."
If you think about it carefully, it is true. Although Galina has a grand nieces and niece, her parents have long passed away, and the remaining brothers and sisters are all ages. Needless to say, Cassandra's mother-in-law, Sylvia and Vanessa have long died of both parents; Megan and Audrey's "Edwards Family" are now only the second generation of ghosts, the fifth generation of ghouls and the sixth generation of "young people"; The Sivy family, and there is no relative who is older than her in the Aphrola family; Bella in Moon Bay and her mother are alive, but only the mother is left.
【And the "owl".】
"Yes, Flora hated her father because of her mother's death. Haven't she been busy making her father lose the right to inherit the title recently?"
Xia De thought in his heart, and Miss Reinhardt, opposite the table, not only had both parents——as an ordinary person, she lived in a small town, but even her grandfather and grandmother were alive. The town was full of relatives and her childhood playmates. Although she did not have as much wealth and power than other witches, she was indeed very happy compared to others.
"Then I wish your life will continue to be happy."
Shade picked up the wine glass again, and Claire Reinhardt raised the glass. After drinking the remaining sip of red wine, she wanted to pick up the coin again, but Shade stopped her:
"I admit defeat, come and ask me in the third game."
So the young girl's tone became more angry when she spoke:
"Is this giving in to me?"
The golden eyes reflected in the candlelight looked at him, and Xia De also looked at her eyes:
"Some things can't be won too much. I always think that fate is a double-edged sword, so before one of the blades hits me, I will do it myself and win two of the three games, which is enough."
"The sweet words still sound like they are deliberately giving in to me."
Although she complained like this, she still smiled:
"So what will you do after the things you are currently dealing with and the All Spirit Day is over?"
"I'll probably stay for a while, I'm here to find some dangerous guy, and I'm still clueless."
"Then I'll stay here to help you, after all, I haven't had anything important recently."
She blinked gently:
"This is also my thanks to you."
Xia De thanked softly, and when he lowered his head to eat dessert, he asked in his heart:
"I always feel like Miss Reinhart is in a very wrong condition tonight. Is she okay?"
[No abnormality of any element is felt.]
"She" smiled softly:
[Perhaps, you should look for the reasons in yourself.]
"Hmm, for example?"
