Chapter 258 (1/2)
”Dear Lauren, you won't really believe what he said?”
A young man lying behind the desk with his cheeks on his back seemed to have guessed when Lauren would return to the room. He appeared in the room at the moment he opened the door. It seemed that there were some innocent tears in his eyes like a clear spring:
”Would you rather trust an outsider who has only known you for a few days than your closest friend? Do you really think that the sincere and kind Asriel will have a strange relationship with an old man who has not appeared in Chapter 174 behind your back?!”
”... of course, if this' close friend 'never tells the truth, or... The whole truth.” the black haired wizard who was not moved by each other's acting should shrug:
”What's more, Peter is also my friend. Why don't I believe it?”
”I'm jealous!”
Loren couldn't help rolling his eyes - it seems that after mazka, this guy has become something wrong, which is more and more different from the legendary image of the polite boy.
”People will always change...” the pale young man smiled: ”politeness and appearance are just tools to win the trust of strangers - Dear Lauren, you should be very experienced in this.”
”Indeed.” the black haired wizard looked at him with a sneer: ”let me put it another way, just like mazka in the ancient wood forest last time
How much can you tell me about the nine pointed star grail? ”
”Dear Loren, you must tell me one thing before that.” the vampire boy's eyes twinkled with a strange luster:
”Do you want it for yourself or for others?”
Lauren narrowed her eyes slightly, but she was silent, but slowly raised the corner of her mouth.
”Well, it seems that it is necessary for us to continue talking.” the young man's face showed a modest and reserved smile again, but his expression was a little greedy: ”since you really want it, I will do my best.”
”I guess your help... Shouldn't be free?” Lauren's expression still didn't change much, as if watching a cunning fox ready to bargain with himself.
”How can you say that? Shouldn't friends help each other?”
Asriel smiled and pondered: ”of course, when Asriel needs help, dear Loren, you won't stand idly by, will you?”
”When the Holy Grail appears, I will tell you its specific location, and I will clear the obstacles on the road for you, no matter who the guy in front is!”
Even now, Loren still can't absolutely believe Asriel - there are not many reasons, just because his uncertainty is so high that betraying himself the next second won't make Loren have the slightest doubt.
Therefore, how much of what he said is credible can only be determined after careful screening; Of course, what anyone says may only be part of the fact, intentionally or unintentionally, and they will always hide part of it.
After all, this is human nature.
”Or that question, about the Holy Grail... How much can you tell me?”
”About this, Asriel thought it would be better for Loren to go and have a look in person.” a smile flashed across the delicate face, and the boy's Scarlet eyes became more and more mysterious:
”If you are ready... To know the truth?”
”Are you ready?”
The voice full of worry and inquiry gently interrupted Loren's meditation, which made him notice the small wizard suddenly appeared behind him.
The black wizard's robe was replaced by a smock and a set of leather armor - even arm armor, elbow protection, knee protection and battle dress... All available. The key parts were connected with fine chain armor, which slightly improved the protection without adding too much weight. The thick linen hood hid her whole small head in it.
Although still a little thin, but equally capable, the blond hair tied into a horsetail extends out from the right side of the brim, decorated with simple but close fitting armor like a shoulder ornament.
