quicksilver blood

Chapter 207 Gentle and Cruel

After An Ruosi also left, Robert was left alone by his side.

He sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, except for Claudia who didn't know where she went, the other two should be in no danger.

But Miss Hellland...

Robert couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

That rough woman Natalia must have had bad intentions in dragging Hellan away.With that rude, violent, and not at all elegant woman, it was impossible for her to think of a solution other than violence.

Thinking of this, Robert couldn't help laughing——

Helllan pretended to be that kind of inexperienced little girl, definitely in order to teach An Ruosi a lesson - but once that woman Natalia pushed her into a hurry, she definitely couldn't bear to walk around.

Robert knew very well that Herlan was not the kind of soft and weak woman.

Yesterday's prayer that seemed to shake the sky, Robert still has not forgotten it - and the intense holy fire burning on Hellan's body, and the huge light belt drawn by the silver-white holy fire that seems to be real...

Robert was basically sure that Helllan was at least a silver-ranked elite priest, and was especially good at manipulating prayers and holy flames.

——It can be said that he is a genius.

Robert also couldn't help but generalize.

Should it be said that it is worthy of Su Ze's royal family? The blood is good...

If my guess is correct, Helllan is probably still trying to drive a wedge between Natalia and An Ruosi...

Sighing deeply, Robert felt extremely complicated at the moment.

Although looking at Heerlan's abnormal demeanor and behavior, one could tell that she must be angry with An Ruosi.

But precisely because of this, Robert felt very conflicted.

If you don't care about a person at all, you will naturally not care about his private life.

Heerlan got angry at An Ruosi because An Ruosi hid the matter of Natalia from her. Doesn't this just prove that Heerlan has a good impression of An Ruosi?
Although Hellland and An Ruosi are almost quarreling now, Robert knows that as long as the man admits his mistake in time and promises, and then cuts the line with Natalia quickly, no matter how harsh Most girls also decide to give him a chance after berating him.

Fortunately, fortunately—An Ruosi was not so decisive.

This means that I still have a chance to—

Robert's gaze gradually became firm.

... Looking back now, it seems that I was too gloating before.

Because of Herlan's relationship, he now has a certain dislike for An Ruosi - or jealousy.

Just looking at An Ruosi made Robert feel upset.

But this will not work.

Let's not mention that An Ruosi is my friend... and being influenced by emotions on important matters, making more impulsive and mindless choices is even more taboo among taboos.

Just like before, Robert shouldn't have stopped An Ruosi's actions at all.

If Robert is not mistaken, An Ruosi has not yet developed any special feelings for Hellan.At the moment, it is just Helllan's unrequited love.

...that sounds really sad.

Now calm down and think about it, the most reasonable choice Robert could have made before was not to provoke the relationship between Natalia and An Ruosi—on the contrary, he should try his best to resolve the conflict between them.

In this way, I have the opportunity to take advantage of the void.

In other words, when Natalia got mad just now, Robert shouldn't have stopped An Ruosi.

It was Helllan who should have stopped him.

Robert thought that the chances between himself and Helllan were quite good.

When I was in Iron Curtain City, I and Hellan had been alone for a while.At that time, Robert felt that Helllan was very gentle to him.

If he could let An Ruosi go alone with Natalia, then he would have a chance to comfort Hellan...

"...What a failure."

Robert held his forehead and said groaningly.

Ordinarily, based on my own experience, I shouldn't be so flustered...

Sure enough, it was all Herlan's fault.

Robert took off his right hand that was holding his forehead, and spread both hands in front of him.

Looking at his palm prints, Robert unconsciously remembered the hour in Iron Curtain City, when he was walking on the street holding Hellan's hand, and unconsciously showed a faint, happy smile.

Whether that hour is long or short - in Robert's heart, it is as short as a minute; but even if another year passes, I am afraid that this period of time will still be engraved in his heart very clearly, It was like yesterday when the two held hands.

"...I might, really, fall in love with you, Hellan."

He whispered dreamily.

Just thinking of walking down the street with Hellan holding hands makes me so happy.

As long as the slender and cold fingers lightly touch the back of the hand, the scorching temperature will go up the blood vessels and burn all the way to the back of the head.

That is the urge to give everything you have for the other party.

... Is this feeling being charmed?

Suddenly, such a thought flashed through Robert's mind.

No, it won't.Hellan was not that kind of person.

Robert smiled wryly, denying his own thoughts.

At this moment, Robert suddenly felt a vibration in his waist.

Frowning, Robert took it out from his waist.

It was a pitch-black crystal plate.

To be precise, this should be two crystal plates clamped together.The air inside is completely evacuated, so it becomes very tight.

And in the middle of the two crystal plates, there are three extremely thin black oil papers.The middle layer was engraved with dense arrays, and then two layers of black oil paper were glued together one by one, sealing all the secrets in it.

Then write the self-ignition array to prevent detection and the weak vibration array as a reminder on the two layers of oil paper on the outside, arrange the triggers, and seal them in the middle of the crystal plate.

This thing is called a communicator.To put it simply, it is a small thing that can use the communicator at will after charging.

This is a new product recently developed by the R&D department of the White Tower. As a volunteer, Robert got the first batch of trial products a week ago.Of course, because it hasn't been popularized yet, if news is received, it must have been sent by the first batch of people.

Its manufacturing difficulty mainly comes from the sealing of the two crystal plates.In terms of the complexity of the three-layer magic circle inside, it is even much simpler than the notice board in Iron Curtain City.

If there is any difficulty in explaining the circle, it is probably because the place where the circle is written is too small.

At the beginning of the design, its function was to instantiate simple communication in a certain area, so that people can contact each other without leaving home.

Perhaps it would be more convenient for those nerd wizards who just wanted to discuss a certain topic, but Robert, who was from the Titan Army, was keenly aware of its military value.

However, because my basic knowledge of witchcraft is still insufficient, I failed to decipher its production method in just a few days.

It was because of this that Robert chose to go out to relax; it was also thanks to this that he was able to see Hellan.

"...Tsk."

Realizing that he was thinking about the topic and ran to Helan again, Robert just twitched the corners of his mouth, and entered the command to turn on the communicator in his hand.

The first thing that appeared in Robert's eyes was a slightly familiar name.Robert remembered that he seemed to be from Titan as well, but he had no talent and no influence behind him.

Just an ordinary person.If it's a party invitation, think of a reason to decline it.

Thinking this way, Robert clicked on the message.

After all, he has too many friends. If Robert had to go to every party invitation, he would have been exhausted.

What's more, his mind is very confused now, and he is not in the mood to go out to a party at all.

"A group of witch apprentices set up a research group...money assistance...ask me if I want to go and play with them?"

Robert frowned and casually replied to a text message saying he was not feeling well, rejecting his "friend's" kind invitation.

If it had been him before, he might have agreed easily.

But now, as soon as Robert thought of Hellan, he was completely in no mood to play some exciting games with those confused witches.

But he didn't know that the "woman" he had been thinking about day and night... was being embraced by another woman at this moment.The atmosphere between the two of them was not as fierce and dangerous as Robert thought, but extremely harmonious.

"Speaking of which, Herlan, who do you hate the most?"

"Be gentle."

Helllan leaned in Natalia's arms and said softly.

Natalia showed a look of interest: "Why?"

"Because people who are not gentle are only gentle to those they like, but people who are gentle are gentle to everyone..." Herlan seemed to remember something, and there was a faint sparkle in her eyes, "Because of this, Gentle people tend to give others the illusion that 'this person already likes me'...so it hurts people more deeply."

"You mean that guy An Ruosi..." Suddenly remembering the woman named "Claudia" whom she had never met, Natalia thought she already understood who Heerlan was referring to.

In order to relieve the melancholy Hellan, Natalia hugged the little girl even tighter in her arms: "But Hellan, you are very gentle."

Facing Natalia's soft teasing, Herland paused for a long time before quietly answering:
"...Yeah. So I hate myself too."
