The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

Cord was full of question marks.

Seeing this, Arnold had to explain further: "Because my partner is male and has died."

The partner he mentioned naturally refers to "Dice". After all, the two have been partners for more than a thousand years. Although they have been together for more than a thousand years, they have only done a few intimate things, but no matter what, they are each other Companion for life.

Arnold could not deny this fact, nor did he ever think of denying it.

Cord had no way of knowing these things. He only thought that what Arnold said was that he had married a man and then lost his husband.

Before that, Ke De had never heard that men and men can also be officially married, so when he heard such things at this time, Ke De couldn't help being dumbfounded for a while, and then he stuttered and said: " Your condolences."

Arnold shook his head and said, "It's been many years. I don't care anymore. You don't have to."

Kodd and Ai Ai nodded in response, and finally asked without giving up: "Then, is there any man in our territory that you like?"

When he asked this question, the face of his son Nick suddenly flashed in Kord's mind, his face changed suddenly in fright, and he quickly shook his head to drive away the face.

Arnold didn't know what he was thinking, he was dumb for a moment, then found his voice, and said: "I told you about this, just to tell you. I have no intention of marrying someone. So, from now on, you Do not bring up any further issues related to this."

"Okay, master, I've made a note of the master." Cod nodded quickly in response, for fear of hearing his son's name from Arnold's mouth in the next moment.

After Ke De left the study in a trance, Arnold was about to devote all his attention to the territorial government affairs, when he heard Orgus who was sitting by the window reading a book suddenly said: "You lied to him."

"...?"

Anol didn't react for a while, and couldn't help showing a dazed expression.

But seeing Olgus close the book, he said seriously: "As far as I know, the elves don't have the custom of holding weddings."

As early as when Anor took out the first ancient book collected by the elves over the years and looked through it, he discovered the secret that Anor came from the elves and was a half-elf who actually came from the elves.

That's why it's said.

After hearing this sentence, Arnold realized what he was talking about.

After reacting, Anol couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

He said: "I didn't admit it just now. I was married. So I didn't cheat him. Moreover, although the elves don't have the custom of holding weddings, they have the custom of holding a cohabitation ceremony for the elves who are in love. Therefore, I said I had a partner, and it was true."

Olgus creased his brows slightly: "Have you ever fallen in love with an elf? Have you held a cohabitation ceremony?"

Arnold looked at him and asked without answering, "Is this important?"

The crease between Olgus' brows gradually deepened: "Isn't it important?"

Arnold said without changing his face: "It doesn't affect the taste of the barbecue I baked for you, does it?"

Olgus: "..." That's what he said, but...why does he feel uncomfortable!

Seeing that his brows were getting tighter and tighter, Arnold asked bluntly, "Orgus, what do you mind?"

Algus frowned and said, "I don't know."

Arnold had no choice but to ask further: "Are you concerned that the cook who cooked your barbecue had an unknown past with someone else, or did you mind that your knight once fell in love with someone else and lived together?"

Olgus wondered: "Is there a difference between the two?"

Anol nodded solemnly: "Of course."

Orgus: "What's the difference?"

Arnold said: "The difference lies in the status I have in your mind. The different status also means that the reasons why you care are very different."

"Really?" Olgus half understood.

Arnold nodded solemnly and said, "Yes."

Then he asked seriously and seriously: "Orgus, do you think I belong to you?"

Then he didn't wait for Orgus to react, and said again: "But in fact I don't belong to you, Orgus. In the past, I had a past that you don't know, and in the future, I will have More experiences that you don't know about."

"Orgus, the relationship between you and me is just an equal knight contract. I am not your barbecue cook, and I will not always be your knight."

"After at least a hundred years, the knight's contract will be terminated on its own, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, Orgus, you must understand that I belong to no one, but to myself. And my past is not to you. It doesn't matter. You don't need and shouldn't mind."

After explaining this speciously, Anol fell silent in a timely manner, and concentrated on handling the territorial government affairs.

Orgus, who was left in a daze, was meditating alone, his own inexplicable and weird mental state.

From that day on, for unknown reasons, Olgus always involuntarily set his sights on Arnold.

Every time he thought about the termination of the knight contract between the two after a hundred years, and he would no longer be able to eat those extremely delicious barbecues, Olgus would inexplicably feel uncomfortable in his heart.

After watching for a long time, Olgus naturally learned a lot of Arnold's little habits.

For example, he knew that Arnold liked spicy food very much, almost to the point where he could not like spicy food.

I also know that Arnold doesn't like sweets, because every time he eats sweets, Arnold eats much slower than usual.

I also know that Anor actually hates the ancient books of the elves that he has to read every day, because Anor will only look at them unless he wants to read them, and usually he doesn't even look at them.

I also know that Arnold is extremely talented and capable.

He is good at both magic and martial arts, he is good at bow and sword, he is also good at alchemy, and he is able to develop the barren Thorn Ridge into a rich place like it is today.

Even when there are problems in planting and carving, building houses and roads, and female wildebeest dystocia, etc., he can give correct and useful solutions.

These are Arnolds that Orgus had never known before.

The more he understands now, the more Olgus feels that Anol is simply an all-rounder who understands everything. There are almost no problems in this world that he cannot solve.

Arnold, who was quietly observed every day, naturally would not be unaware.

However, since Orgus never stated this matter, he never exposed it.

Soon, he read to the last page of the last ancient book collected by the elves over the years.

He has never found a way to unseal the seal of the Spring of Life.

In the middle of the night, Wan Lai was silent.

Inside the castle, the servants all fell into deep sleep.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, after getting ready for the work, Arnold stood in front of the full-length mirror, holding a dagger, and gestured towards his eyes.

Just as he was looking for a good angle to dig out the eyes with the knife, the closed door was suddenly kicked away with a bang, and Arnold was so startled that he almost slipped his hand and hurt his face.

The servants in the castle were also frightened by the sudden loud noise and fell out of bed.

Everyone rushed to check the situation on the second floor where the loud noise came, but they saw Algus standing angrily at the door of Arnold's room.

The servants did not dare to meddle in the affairs of the master's house, so they left quietly after being busy.

The bold ones went back to the room, and the timid ones ran out of the castle one after another, for fear that the two of them would lose their strength in the fight, and the castle would be shaken down and affected.

Eligot was also woken up by fright, and ran to check on the situation. He wanted to go forward because he was worried that Arnold would suffer, but he was pulled away by Nick who saw that Orgus's face was very bad.

Nick earnestly persuaded him for a long time on the grounds that he was too weak and would only be a hindrance in the past, before he dispelled his desperate intention to help.

At the same time, in the bedroom on the second floor, Anor held a dagger in his hand and turned to look at Algus standing at the door, his face full of surprise.

Olgus' face was extremely gloomy, and he quickly stepped into the door, walked up to Arnold, and snatched the murder weapon from his hand.

Arnold, with an inexplicable guilty conscience, watched him silently, and let him take the dagger away without any resistance.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Olgus's anger suddenly decreased a lot.

He clenched the dagger he had snatched, cornered him step by step, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you planning to do?"

Arnold stood against the wall, his eyes wandered for a moment, and Fang said frankly, "Gouging your eyes."

Olgus still felt that he was not honest enough: "You just want to undo the seal of the life spring in the eye you want to dig out?"

"How do you know?" Arnold really didn't expect him to even see this.

Orgus asked without answering: "Why would you rather hurt yourself than ask me for help?"

Why? !

Because you are used to everything, you can only rely on yourself!

So whenever I encounter something that I can solve by myself, I can't think of asking others for help.

Arnold was stunned by this question, but finally didn't say the real answer.

Arnold said: "I didn't expect you to be willing to help me, and I didn't expect you to lift the seal of the elves."

Hearing this, the anger in Olgus' heart dissipated a little, and he asked, "Isn't it because you don't want me to know the existence of the Spiritual Spring of Life?"

"Of course not." Anol quickly shook his head and denied, "The Spiritual Spring of Life is not very useful to you Dragon Clan, is it? I don't need to hide it from you."

Hearing this, the anger in Olgus' heart has completely dissipated, but his complexion has not improved at all.

Anol looked up at him, and confirmed with a little confidence: "Can you really help me unlock the seal of the spring of life?"

Orgus was very upset about his distrust: "I can help you relieve it now."

Anol's eyes brightened, and he quickly asked, "What do I need to do?"

Orgus said with a dark face, "You don't have to do anything, just close your eyes and keep them open."

Anol did as he said without hesitation, and urged impatiently: "Then you should do it quickly!"

Seeing this, Olgus couldn't help being slightly stunned.
