The black tea in the cup has lost its temperature.
Marlene put down the cup in his hand and raised his head to look out the window, where the night has come, although from the time point of view it is just after noon, but it is already dusk outside, from the beginning, Marlene is still not very I am used to this strange time difference, not only to get up early or go to bed late, not only for her, but also for many other mercenarys. Fortunately, Rhodes thought of this when constructing Fortress, so he also specially built a clock tower for timekeeping, which rang once every morning, middle, and evening. With this clock tower, all the talents finally began to slowly adjust their time difference.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Marlene can't help but reached out and rubbed his forehead, and now the operation of Fortress has become normal, the only trouble is only on the second day of Rhodes their departure, Mafa helplessly holding a Article sheet of paper came to the door to tell her the news of Anne's departure, but Marlene was not surprised by the news. She still knew something about Anne's character. It ’s not surprising that such a thing happened, so Marlene made adjustments very quickly. The person of Mafa is honest and calm. It is also reassuring to start this. == So Marlene is not too worried about this.
But this does not mean that Marlene has no trouble ... Although Fortress is operating normally, and there is no big problem for the entire Parfield, they need to worry about it, but the problem that Marlene is troubled is not this, but a very personal problem. Speaking of which, this is also related to Canary.
Before Rhodes was gone, I once said that Canary would work with Marlene to manage Fortress. If it was changed before, Marlene would definitely be very happy. After all, she and Canary are very good, and the feelings of both sides are also good, plus Canary I have a lot of experience in casting skills and knowledge. It can also be regarded as a good teacher and friend of Marlene, so from the beginning and Marlene like Canary very much.
But after intent broke Canary and Rhodes' “good things” that day, Marlene was a bit embarrassed at Canary, especially the night after coming to Fortress, the two could say that they had established a relationship with each other. After that, Marlene was even more embarrassed to see Canary ... Although she didn't claim to be her Rhodes' girlfriend, but as soon as she thought of the men around her and the other party, the Marlene was even more embarrassed. She didn't know how to face Canary. originally Marlene thought that Rhodes would explain to herself or Canary, but looking at Rhodes', she didn't seem to want to explain these things to Canary. He also refused to mention his relationship with Canary. As for the Canary side, Marlene can feel that the other party seems to be aware of it, but Canary has not changed its attitude towards itself.
Because she is not a living human being, does she have any concerns about this?
Marlene does not think that Canary will have such an idea, but she is still somewhat worried, and before that there is Rhodes, so she can push everything to Rhodes to solve. But now that Rhodes is gone, she has to be alone with Canary from time to time, which makes Marlene a little annoying. She doesn't know whether she should speak to Canary, but she doesn't even know what to say.
"Hah ..............."
Thinking of this, Marlene can't help but bowed its head, let out a long sigh. But at this time, the knock on the door suddenly sounded, which made the girl gawked, and then she immediately turned around and sorted out the documents on her desk.
"Please come in."
With the response of Marlene, the door opened, and then Canary came in with a soft smile as always.
"Do n’t bother you, Miss Marlene?"
"Ah, no, I just came to an end."
Seeing the smiley face of Canary, Marlene felt that her body immediately became much more rigid. She hurried out a smile, and then bowed her head as if she were working on a document.
"Is there anything?"
"This is it."
Canary glanced at Marlene, grinning eyes narrowed, and then she walked to Marlene and passed the stack of papers at hand.
"The Rhodes mentioned before that I want to use mercenaries to distort points for actual combat training. I have already made a plan to see if there is anything that needs to be modified."
"Okay, I'll watch it later."
After hearing what Canary said, Marlene hurriedly extended his hand and the other side handed over the plan. Then he turned a few pages and placed it next to it. But this time Canary didn't turn around and left immediately after finishing her work as before. On the contrary, she smiled and looked at Marlene, but instead made Marlene a little uneasy.
"Also, is there anything else? Miss Canary?"
"It ’s not a big deal ......... but ........."
Speaking of this, Canary stretched out a finger and rested on his chin, then looked at Marlene started talking.
"Miss Marlene's attitude seems to be a little strange recently ... I'm curious ... I'm not as old as I used to come to drink tea and chat, and I don't discuss with me about spell-casting skills ... ... Is it not good enough for me to teach? "
"Ah, there is no such thing."
Hearing this, Marlene quickly raised his head and waved his hand in panic. To be honest, the casting skills of Professor Canary are very practical, and they are also very simple and easy to understand. Marlene feels that he has studied the real battle skill in the college for two years, and there is no Canary taught her in ten days. it works. However, from these teachings, Marlene finally felt the fact that Canary was indeed a Wild Mage. Canary is right to talk about the casting skills used in actual combat. But once it comes to the nature of strength's origin and magic's special running power, etc., Canary is completely inquisitive, nothing is clear.
This once made Marlene quite surprised, because according to what she learned in the college, a Mage must first learn to understand strength itself, and then be qualified to learn how to release and master this strength, but Canary ’s Existence completely broke the truth learned by Marlene. She simply didn't know the most basic and core things, but just used spell as spell and strength as strength. Actually, ——— could have such a result. If you change someone else, maybe Marlene will only think that the other party is just lucky. But Canary is all Legendary Level, and it is not just luck to be able to reach this level. It's just that Marlene still thinks this is incredible. Canary's nature of magic power only stays at the initial level of element attributes and strength appearance. As for those esoteric knowledge, she doesn't understand at all, so how can she achieve it? How to use such skillfully to create casting skills?
For such doubts, Marlene also asked about Canary, but at the time facing Marlene ’s inquiry, Canary just smiled and answered, “It ’s possible to fly an airplane and you do n’t need to build an airplane.” This sentence is completely unfathomable mystery for Marlene. I was sent without knowing why. But although she didn't know what the plane was, the meaning of this sentence, Marlene, was somewhat understandable.
"So, what's the reason?"
Seeing that Marlene was a little flustered, Canary didn't care, just sitting opposite Marlene, and then both hands cheeked, watching her with a smile. This made Marlene more panic. Her eyes moved around indefinitely, but in the end, Marlene was still took a deep breath. She is a smart woman and naturally understands that this time Canary came to talk to herself about this issue. It's no wonder, after all, Rhodes is not there. Before leaving, Fortress and guild are handed over to them for management. It would definitely not be a problem if you changed it before, but now, there is a gap between the two sides, which might cause trouble. So in the face of such a situation, we can resolve it as soon as possible. In fact, Marlene is not ignorant of the stakes, but she has been hesitant, not knowing how to speak. Now Canary is willing to speak first, so it is not necessary to hold on to yourself.
Thinking of this, Marlene is also took a deep breath, then she reached out and poured a cup of tea for Canary and herself again. Then he raised his head and looked at Canary, nodded.
"It's about ..."
"Is the Rhodes' thing?"
However, Marlene's words are not finished, because Canary has been grinning and then continued, which surprised Marlene, but she is still nodded. Seeing her expression, Canary sneered at her blinked, and then she again asked.
"So, Miss Marlene, what do you think is the relationship between me and Rhodes?"
"Hey?"
Hearing the question of Canary, Marlene was suddenly stunned. Because of this question, did she really think about the relationship between ——— Canary and Rhodes? Judging from what I saw on that day, even if the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend, then it is also a lover relationship. However, judging from the usual performance of the two, although the two sides have a good relationship, they have never made an intimate move like a lover. Marlene's own situation is special, because for her, doing those things with Rhodes is not just that she likes Rhodes, it is also Marlene's own "obligation." She has a "responsibility" to do so. In other words, even if Marlene does not like Rhodes, then for her, her own destiny has decided that she must do so. Of course, it's better to find a man who likes and admires than to be embraced by a man he doesn't like.
However, the performance of Canary is very different from that of Marlene. In Marlene's opinion, Canary is not very attached to Rhodes normally. The relationship between the two parties seems to be more intimate than that of ordinary friends, but to say the relationship of the lover Not enough, but at this time, a word suddenly flashed through Marlene's brain.
"That ... I do n’t know very well, but Ms. Vivian once said ...... the relationship between you and Rhodes is" ** "..."
"Fox Young Lady?"
I heard Marlene's answer, Canary somewhat surprised's stared wide-eyed, but she soon recovered her usual smile.
"So, Miss Marlene, do you know what" ** "means?"
Of course, Marlene shook her head. She didn't understand the meaning of the word at all, and she didn't know how to understand it. Seeing the reaction of Marlene, Canary smiled and leaned back, then both hands closed his chest and watched Marlene ——— for some reason. When he saw the action of Canary, Marlene immediately remembered Rhodes. Although they are not similar at all, they feel surprisingly similar. Rhodes always has a face on ten thousand years unchanging, which makes people wonder what he is thinking. And Canary is also ten thousand years unchanging with a smile on her face at all times. It is difficult to see other expressions on her face. It seems that for girls, there is nothing in the world that is worthy of their pain and anger.
"**" ... It ’s almost the same, Miss Marlene. When you have a friend you like, you will want to invite her to drink tea and chat together, right? "
For this, Marlene nodded and Canary raised a finger.
"The relationship between me and Rhodes is also very similar, except that when I want to be with him, I want something happier and more comfortable. ——— is like what Miss Marlene saw that day. Same. "
"Ah ..............."
Hearing this sentence, Marlene immediately turned red. She did not expect it at all. That day, Canary actually noticed her existence. But think about it too. After all, the other party has the strength of Legendary Level. If she can't even feel herself, then her strength is nothing. But ...
"However, this is not a general relationship between friends."
When saying this, Marlene's tone is a little stiff. After Noble, she has not heard of many disorderly things in the Noble circle. Many young Noblewoman have a ladylike appearance on the surface, but they are yin in the background. Chaos slutty, especially at the age of Huaichun, some girls with weak family education will find the same Noble youth to do the shameful work together, and some people have a taste for the food, not only looking for men at the Noble party, even their own home The servants of the servants did not let it go, not to mention that some subordinates Noble even went to find their fathers or something. These people do not do it because of feelings. On the contrary, they just feel comfortable and want to find someone to comfort themselves, as long as the other person is a man. Marlene naturally looks down on those people, and feels that they do not know how to love themselves, and are nasty slutty. Her perception of Canary has always been very good, but now after listening to Canary, she feels that something is not right, and she has become somewhat rigid with her attitude.
"Of course not."
Canary certainly understands what is wrong with Marlene ’s attitude, but she just smiles slightly, then reaches out and picks up her tea cup, watching the black tea in the cup.
"I used to be very tired, my family's attention, my friends' attention, and many, many eyes. They have high expectations and ideals for me, but I have no way to resist, I can only work hard. Meet everyone's request. In this way, they are happy, and they are happy, and I am happy ... but, after all, it is not me. "
Hearing this sentence of Canary, Marlene can't help gawking, she found that she could understand the idea of Canary. After all, as the heir of the family, her situation was very similar to her. They all lived not only for themselves. .
"Relationship with Rhodes' was initially a coincidence of accident/surprise, but gradually, I fell in love with this relationship. I like the feeling of comfort, and I also like the kind of indulgence in happiness, forgetting all the troubles. Feeling. And, only then, I will discard my mask and face my feelings and ideas frankly. I do n’t have to play the role of a good girl in the eyes of my parents and others, I can do whatever I want, think Do whatever you want. And Rhodes will not treat me as a yin chaotic slutty woman, he always respects me and loves me, so I can show my true side in front of him without scruples, and Do n’t worry about getting disgusted. I think this relationship is great, but I do n’t plan to go further, as long as it ’s enough now. The present is the best for us, whether it ’s me or Rhodes. "
"Why?"
Hearing here, Marlene finally couldn't help asked. She was really difficult to understand. From the description of Canary, she likes Rhodes very much. Shouldn't could it be develop a deeper relationship? Although strictly speaking, the current Canary and non-human, but after so long contact with her, Marlene has almost forgotten that the girl in front of her is not a human, so she cannot understand why Canary made such a decision. In the face of Marlene's inquiry, Canary smiled and extended a finger and put it on his mouth.
"Because it is not necessary."
"Not necessary?"
Marlene tilted his head, and he did n’t understand the meaning of Canary. But at this time, Canary stood up.
"I do n’t want to say too much, Miss Marlene. After all, this is my personal wish. I like to maintain my current relationship with Rhodes. I do n’t want to go further. I do n’t know retreat. Because I know that I ca n’t be Rhodes 'most loved' That person's ... maybe, no one can be such a person. "
"Why is this?"
Hearing here, Marlene is even more puzzled, but at this time, Canary turned around and walked to the door, then she reached out, held the door handle, and turned her head to look at Marlene.
"Because you cannot compete with someone who has left forever."
Speaking of this, the gentle and elegant smile appeared again on Canary's face, then she closed the door with her backhand and left the room. Only Marlene was left standing alone in the room, staring at the door in front of him, not knowing what to think.
