Chapter 1: The sunny and cheerful
love triangle between the big boy and the little kid is so childish that it makes people feel ridiculous.
It's like a pile of excuses. Don't even step into it. If you see it, you have to stay away.
At least Hardy thinks so now.
"The little mermaid turned her tears into eye shadow, threw herself into the embrace of the sea, and turned into five-color foam."
Hardy's voice echoed in the hall, and the surroundings were quiet, accompanied only by the crackling sound of the flame burning in the fireplace.
After waiting for a while, Hardy saw no response, so he asked the two friends in front of him: "What do you think about this story?" The
handsome blond boy scratched his head and replied naively: " Hardy, this story is so sad, I don’t know what to say.”
Hardy turned his attention to the girl with long blond hair: “Karina, what about you?”
Unlike boys, girls generally mature earlier.
Obviously Karina is more than two months younger than Hardy, but her temperament is mature and she is more like the sister of the two boys in the cabin.
"Do you think you are a little mermaid?" Karina looked at Hardy with blue eyes, apologetically and sadly: "I can't love you, just because I chose Ryan, so you plan to turn into a bubble?" The blond boy was
stunned. For a moment, he didn't think about this level at all.
Then Ryan looked at Hardy with a look of shock on his face. He had no idea that his neighbor and good friend who he had grown up with had ever wanted to die.
Is it because Karina chose herself?
He was filled with guilt and didn't know what to do.
Hardy chuckled: "Karina, you are very smart. The former Hardy is indeed dead, so you can rest assured and go out to practice without worrying about me."
Karina licked her bright red face Lips, said: "Are you talking angry? We have agreed since childhood that the three of us will never be separated."
"Stop playing nonsense, Karina, you know this is impossible." Hardy stood He stood up and looked down at the two of them: "You chose Ryan, which is a kind of growth in itself, and I don't have that much time to accompany you anymore."
When he said this, Hardy felt his throat refluxing.
The nauseating feeling was getting worse and worse, and I couldn't bear it any longer.
Karina's hands were twisted together subconsciously. She looked at Hardy in surprise. The friend in front of her looked strange and despairing.
Ryan also stood up. He subconsciously grabbed Hardy's arm: "Karina is right. The three of us grew up together. Why should we separate?"
"If we don't separate, how can we marry Karina together?" Hardy He frowned, then subconsciously took a breath, with a look of shock on his face: "Are you planning to learn from the aristocratic customs of the Inluo Kingdom, where brothers or friends share a wife?" When
Ryan heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and exerted all his strength. Rubbing against his own clothes as if they were dirty.
Karina's expression was not that annoying, she seemed thoughtful.
"By the way, this is for you." Hardy took the long piece of cloth wrapped around the chair and threw it towards Ryan: "In a few days, you will go out for training, and this is for you A gift."
"Sword?" As a descendant of the brave, Ryan knew what it was as soon as he grabbed the long object. He opened the cloth and saw the black scabbard, which was full of exquisite patterns: "Wait a minute. Wait, this is Morrowind? Don't you like this sword the most? "
This is the best sword in the town... Although it is not as powerful as the Sword of the Brave, the Sword of the Brave of the Lane family has followed the footsteps of his father. Missing for many years.
This 'Morrowind' sword was purchased by Hardy's father, Old Hardy, from the elves. It is of excellent quality.
Hardy smiled and said: "I have no use for it anymore. In your hands, it will work better."
"Besides... this is for you." Hardy took out a wristwheel from his clothes: "This thing It is a relic of my mother. It is said to have a certain defensive effect. Karina, you are too weak in frontal combat. Wearing it can also make us feel more at ease."
Karina looked strange. After she took the lavender wrist wheel, she held her hands He picked it up, pressed it in front of his astonishing breasts, and said thank you softly.
"That's it for now. I will be very busy for a long time to come." Hardy's smile was refreshing and bright: "When you set off, I may not have time to see you off. Goodbye."
Hardy turned around and said, The boy and girl who turned their backs to the house raised their hands and waved twice, then left quickly and disappeared outside the house in the blink of an eye.
He just wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible, as far away from those two people as possible.
The hall fell silent.
After a while, Karina said: "Hardy has changed so much. If it weren't for that face, he would be almost unrecognizable." Ryan nodded in agreement, and then he said: "Actually, I can understand it, now He is the only one in the Hardy family."
Karina fell silent. Of course she knew that just a week ago, Hardy's father, Old Hardy, disappeared, and even his body could not be recovered.
After Hardy left Lane's house, he went straight back to his own home.
The two families were not far away, and he only walked for a few minutes before returning to his home.
A huge manor with a winery.
When the guard outside the door saw him, he immediately bowed and saluted, and then opened the manor door.
Back in the small castle with white roof and black walls, the red-haired maid stood waiting quietly in the reception hall.
When he saw Hardy, he came over, lowered his head and asked: "Master, do you want to prepare afternoon tea?"
"No." Hardy waved his hand and said at the same time: "I want to go back to my room to rest. If there is nothing particularly important, who can Don't bother me."
The red-haired maid stepped aside and stopped talking.
Hardy went up to the second floor and entered his bedroom.
A large room, with a fine velvet bedding under a soft white silk tent from the Elf Forest.
This bed and the supplies on it alone are enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary family of five for more than fifty years.
Hardy came to the dressing table and faced the precious glass mirror with a refreshing smile.
After a while, there was a person who looked exactly like him in the mirror.
It's just that their temperaments are slightly different.
Hardy in the real world is generous, neither humble nor overbearing.
Hardy in the mirror is both feminine and cruel.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Hardy smiled and said: "I have done everything you asked for, what's the reward?"
'Hardy' in the mirror emits a gray light dust and sinks into the real world. In Dee's head.
Soon, Hardy felt that he had an extra important memory.
"Next, you have to follow Karina, accompany her, and protect her until you die for her, otherwise..." The voice of the person in the mirror had a somewhat distorted electromagnetic feel.
In reality, Hardy suddenly stretched out his right hand, thrust it into the glass mirror, pinched the neck of 'Hardy' inside, and slowly pulled it out.
The translucent 'Hardy' looked at the real Hardy in surprise.
"It's just a residual consciousness. How dare you threaten me." Hardy sighed longly: "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? If it weren't for the reward of the mission..." Although
Hardy was surprised, he then His face was filled with joy: "You can actually use mental power? Do you have the qualifications to cast spells? Great, this way you can better protect Karina, take care of her for me, and love her."
Hardy showed slight confusion . With an expression on his face, his right hand gradually exerted force: "What a waste! The life and death of the father who loves you the most and protects you is unknown, but you want to continue to be a licking dog. Others don't even love you. Are you cheap?"
"What do you know... ...Love is the world's...greatest and purest...mere...father..."
Hardy shook his head, the smile on his face remained cheerful: "I don't think so. In my opinion, the most important thing in the world is Feelings are family ties, and since we have different views, there is no way to coexist."
After that, he did not wait for the person in the mirror to reply, and directly crushed the latter into soul fragments with force.
The person in the mirror only had time to leave a shocked expression.
"After enduring it for so long, I finally feel comfortable."
Hardy's smile became clearer and brighter.
