He lowered his head, and the adventurer lady just raised her head, and the two looked at each other, seeing their own appearance in each other's eyes.
"This is the third time, Miss Adventurer." Anser shook his glass, "It seems that there is indeed some kind of fate between us."
"Ha...hahahaha..."
Ze Rui raised her head and laughed dryly: "Indeed, it seems that every time we meet, he is a little unfriendly to me."
It's you again! So what's going on?
Ansher put the wine glass on the table and walked to Marina's side. The witch lady stood up to make room for her and stood by her side with her eyes lowered, dignified and quiet. Ansher also sat down naturally. The compatibility between the two made Ze Rui's temples throb.
Okay, okay, you are not the mastermind either. The mastermind is this disloyal golden-haired guy?
Miss Ze Rui, who is also a golden retriever, gritted her teeth. She had met Anser three times in a row. Coupled with Anser's current look as his master, she could only regard Anser as the real mastermind.
Of course, no matter how much she gritted her teeth, she still had to do a good job on the surface. After being tossed around again and again, Miss Ze Rui, who wanted to jump on the table and scold, continued to swallow her anger and put on a standard business smile: "So now... who should I work for?"
Anser couldn't help but pour himself a glass of wine and said, "I don't need you to do anything for me. It's Lina who needs you. But she was just joking. She won't really brainwash you."
"Then I really want to thank you, handsome guy..."
Ze Rui wanted to roll her eyes at this golden-haired man who was obviously the public enemy of women. What a joke! I was caught and dragged into this messy struggle for no reason. Who is it because of me?
and many more……
She glanced at Anser again, and after confirming the golden-haired man's appearance and temperament, she looked at the well-behaved and dignified lady beside him, who had no witchy aura at all. Finally, she thought of the white-skinned girl who gave people the feeling of being ready to make a move...
I* (unknown local swear word)! It turns out that it’s not a workplace struggle, but a harem struggle!
Ze Rui, who had already imagined a series of melodramatic stories in her mind, felt dizzy and even trembled with anger.
You're crazy! You women are jealous of each other, why did you drag me into this?
Ansel, who was drinking, suddenly coughed lightly.
Marina's expression changed slightly. Although she was still calm, her mouth was slightly pursed, looking a little tense.
Ze Rui, who was already angry, did not notice the slight abnormality of the two people. After all, she had almost used up all her life's concentration just to maintain her current business smile, so she had no energy left to observe their reactions.
Ah... I'm so angry! Why do I have to run around and beg for mercy just because of a scumbag who can't control his woman? I'm so unlucky. If I can't stand it, I'll just go crazy——
"Adventurer... um, Miss Ze Rui."
"Hey, sir, what can I do for you? What should I call you?"
——Zerui swore that this was her last act of humility. If another strange guy showed up again, she would explode with this group of lunatics!
"Just call me Anser. I didn't come to see you for anything special. It's just that you left in such a hurry in the tavern just now that you forgot about this."
A glass of beautiful azure wine appeared in Ansel's hand. He put it on the table and pushed it in front of Ze Rui.
"I recommend it." Anser said with a smile.
Ze Rui looked at the glass of wine in front of her and fell into a long silence.
"so……"
After a long while, she asked tentatively: "You suddenly came to me just to make me drink this glass of wine?"
"Can't you?"
"Are you sick?" Ze Rui grabbed the wine glass and poured the wine all over her head, then grabbed Anser by the collar and yelled, "Why don't you lick me twice to see if it tastes good, tastes good or not!"
——The above is the fantasy time of the golden-haired girl.
Although Ze Rui wanted to do this, she still smiled rationally: "Mr. Anser is really a very particular person... Then I will try the wine you recommended to see what it tastes like-"
She tightened her face, maintained a business smile that could collapse at any time, and tilted her head back to drink the whole drink in one gulp.
One second later——
"puff--!"
The adventurer lady almost sprayed the bonnet off her head. After spraying, she was still flicking her tongue like a kitten, making a "Puh-Puh" sound while flicking it.
"What the hell is this swill!" the girl screamed in disbelief, "It's definitely one of the top three worst drinks I've ever had!"
"Like mixing cyan algae and barnacle juice together with bad oatmeal and jellyfish secretions!"
Ze Rui, angry!
She slammed the glass on the table and yelled, "Does your tongue have a normal sense of taste? You actually recommended me to drink this kind of thing, you——"
"Hahahaha-"
Looking at the golden-haired bastard in front of her who was laughing so hard, Ze Rui suddenly realized something at that moment.
"You...you did it on purpose!"
How could someone who could casually take out such delicious wine and even have requirements on the temperature and tasting method think that wine was delicious?
The adventurer was completely defeated, and her words were mixed with strange slang that was hard to understand: "Are you crazy? You chased me all the way just to feed me this disgusting thing!"
"Ah, no, that's not it... I actually didn't expect you to react so strongly, Miss Ze Rui."
Anser, who was laughing happily, touched the corner of his eyes and said, "It's just a prank that came to my mind. If you hate it, then I...well, it seems that I don't have any way to remedy it."
"How old are you? You're a father, but you still play such a prank on a strange woman. You don't think you're very romantic, do you?"
Since she had already thrown everything into ruin, Ze Rui decided to go crazy: "Only a country girl who has never seen the world would be fooled by your tricks! Do you think I'm that kind of stupid woman?"
"Regarding this aspect...I advise you to be careful with your words, Miss Ze Rui."
Anser coughed lightly. "I don't mind you criticizing my methods, but I don't recommend you laugh at my... um, victims."
"Otherwise, you will be in danger."
"I don't care whether it's dangerous or not, are you going to let me go now?"
Ze Rui acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and was almost rolling on the ground: "I'm going to die anyway... and I'm not targeting the girls you toyed with, it's you! Are you so bored? What do you have to do with nothing?"
"Is it not possible?" Anser crossed his legs lazily, "I really enjoy the feeling of having nothing to do and doing whatever I want to do."
He looked at the dazzlingly white beach under the sun, and at the sparkling sea. He half-closed his eyes and his voice unconsciously became softer. Only he and Marina could hear it:
"The feeling of being truly...alive."
For whatever reason, do what you want to do - it doesn't matter even if you don't know what you want to do yet. Even if you play a childish prank like "I drank a very unpalatable drink so I must make others drink it too", or even if you just wait idly and wander around aimlessly, it is full of value.
Because he had never had these things in his life. They were all useless things discarded by the devil who had dedicated everything to revenge in the past.
Now, even though Anser has not reached the end of the road, he no longer has to trek through the pain and difficulty as before.
Even just living happily is itself a kind of revenge, and even doing extremely evil things will be regarded as supreme justice, which is even more of a revenge. When Ansher thought of this, he felt doubly happy from the bottom of his heart.
So no matter what purpose you have in sending this to me, Miss Ze Rui, I have accepted it all.
After all...she is indeed a very interesting person.
Chapter 29: Terrible Imperial Woman
Ze Rui has always thought that she is a very interesting person, but if the price of being interesting is to be targeted by the golden retriever in front of her, then she will definitely choose to be a serious woman for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the handsome golden-haired guy opposite was ready to make a move. She just wanted to quickly deal with these troubles and leave this place of trouble immediately.
But...I seem to have said something very extraordinary just now.
Ze Rui calmed down. She was a little flustered, but she still insisted on being tough.
It feels good to go crazy, but it can't solve the problem, it will only bring new problems. But she has already gone halfway, and if she regrets it now, it means that she hasn't even had enough fun, and she will have to face new problems.
Losing big!
But for the sake of life safety...it is better to restrain yourself a little.
"The taste of that wine isn't that exaggerated."
Just as Ze Rui was thinking about how to be more cautious and crazy next, Anser suddenly said: "Most people can't taste that kind of bad layering, they just think the taste is weird. Miss Ze Rui... don't you have a lot of insights on wine tasting? Why do you use a straw to ruin Lina's kindness?"
"I've never tasted such delicious wine. I want to drink it slowly. Is that not okay?"
Ze Rui rolled her eyes: "Who said drinking with a straw is a waste? I can drink however I want. Isn't wine meant to be drunk?"
"Haha, that's true."
Anser chuckled twice and looked directly at the seemingly tough golden-haired girl. From a purely aesthetic point of view, Ze Rui's appearance was actually far inferior to any other woman around him. Although Anser's hunting range was incredibly wide, he still had certain requirements for the level of appearance, and Ze Rui happened to be outside the boundaries of this range.
Of course, this does not mean that the adventurer lady is not good-looking. From the perspective of the public, she can also be called a beautiful girl, but her level of beauty is slightly inferior, and Anser's requirements are much higher than before.
"Lina." He filled Ze Rui's empty glass, "How long will it take you?"
"Two minutes. If you have anything else to say to Miss Ze Rui, you can extend it to five minutes, Mr. Anser."
"Two minutes will be enough."
Anser pushed the wine in front of Ze Rui and smiled friendly: "I rarely have that kind of weird bad taste. It's really just a spur of the moment. This glass of wine is my apology, Miss Ze Rui."
"... Rarely?" Ze Rui stared at Anser suspiciously, "It doesn't look like it."
"Isn't it similar?"
"Yes."
The adventurer licked the drink with her pink tongue, then sucked it twice in a very unpresentable way before biting the straw with confidence. She said vaguely, "You almost have the trait of liking to play with women written all over your face."
...Is it that obvious?
Ansher touched the side of his face. This was the first time he had heard such an evaluation - except for Ming Furo who took such words as fun.
Hitana initially thought he was an evil nobleman, Marina regarded him as the savior of her life, and even a smart girl like Mingfuro was fooled by his former innocence... This adventurer lady had only met him three times in total, yet she could point this out so accurately?
This is not something that can be explained by experience. After all, in the eyes of the nobles who have been in the powerful circles for a long time, Master Hydra still has a mostly positive image. At least no one thinks that he likes to play with women.
The same intuition as Seele, or... something different?
"This is the first time I've been evaluated like this." Anser said with a very consistent expression, "But you can rest assured, Miss Zerri. I have no interest in you."
This sentence was also completely sincere. Although there is no such thing as a "henpecked husband" for Anser, he would still choose to take care of the girls' feelings to some extent. It would not be good to do so any more. Of course, the most important thing is that Ze Rui is indeed not within Anser's hunting range.
The adventurer was silent for two seconds, then replied calmly, "I'm sorry I can't arouse your interest."
Although her tone was calm, her slightly protruding sharp fangs and her habit of biting them flat proved that she was not in a good mood.
I have no interest in you - this sentence had no effect on any of Sitana, Marina, Ming Furo, and Xin in the initial stage. Miss Wolf was rebellious, the witch took it for granted, the scholar would retort on the spot, and the saint... she probably couldn't understand the meaning of "interest" at that stage.
In Ze Rui's eyes, although Anser is a golden-haired man who likes to play with women, he is still a handsome guy. After all, she is still pretending to be crazy, so this is not a normal conversation. The sentence "I'm not interested in you" is not an overly self-righteous stupid remark, but a kind of sarcasm. Normal women with some looks generally don't like this kind of sarcasm.
So Ze Rui is ordinary and normal, no different from the vast majority of ordinary and normal women in this world.
In other words...it's rather vulgar.
vulgar……
There was one minute left. Ansel looked at Ze Rui, who seemed to be sipped from the straw but was actually savoring the wine, and suddenly reached out his hand to her.
The adventurer girl subconsciously leaned back with her glass in her hand: "What? You're not going to ask me to pay for your apology, are you?"
"That ring." Anser said with a smile, "That business."
"..."
Thus, in just two seconds, Anser was able to see a person's expression change from alertness to trance, from trance to shock, from shock to suspicion, and from suspicion to ecstasy, until finally his eyes almost glowed.
"So... sir, oh no, Mr. Anser, are you going to take over the goods from me?"
The adventurer lady's attitude changed drastically in an instant. Whether it was the standard honorific or the girlish voice, it was as if the crazy guy biting the straw just now was not the same person as her.
"The church's tribute to the regent." Anser smiled, "I am indeed curious."
"That's perfect!"
Ze Rui smiled happily and placed the ring in Anser's hand generously.
"Although I don't know what kind of monster the regent who even overthrew the emperor is, I heard from the church on the ship that he is this generation of Hydra... Oh, sorry, I digressed. Anyway, no matter who the regent is, the church is sincere. If I wasn't afraid of being forcibly marked by the people of the Inquisition if I took too much, I wouldn't have taken so little."
"There are so many good things in there. In addition to the Forbidden Mountains... oh, it's called the Tiantu Mountains in the Empire. In addition to the large amount of high-purity ether crystals mined at the foot of the Tiantu Mountains, there are also various rare materials that the Empire doesn't have! If you pour them into the Empire, you can get dozens of times the value!"
As soon as the business started, the adventurer began to boast about the value of the goods with great skill, while interspersing a series of her adventure stories and emphasizing how difficult the process was.
"I only accept the Empire's standard 100-yuan gold coins... Of course, ether crystals are also acceptable, but the requirements are a bit harsh. They can't be defective or too good. It's best to have standard units."
Ze Rui blinked her bright eyes, her sky blue pupils, which were very similar to Anser's, were full of anticipation. She leaned forward, almost getting close to the face of the golden-haired creature that she had just criticized.
Golden Retriever? Sponsor! Who dares to address my sponsor with such an impolite name?
"Mr. Anser, how are you going to pay?"
"This is the third time, Miss Adventurer." Anser shook his glass, "It seems that there is indeed some kind of fate between us."
"Ha...hahahaha..."
Ze Rui raised her head and laughed dryly: "Indeed, it seems that every time we meet, he is a little unfriendly to me."
It's you again! So what's going on?
