Chapter 498 Heart to Heart on a Snowy Night

No. 4 Heart and Heart

"I am... a genius?"

Qi Ge was a little surprised to hear Seri's praise.

He pursed his lips embarrassedly and said with a smile:

"If we only talk about Smith, he is indeed a rare genius in the entire Yasha world.

As for me, I am just an ordinary mortal."

"Mortal..."

Seri sighed softly for some reason.

She smiled and rubbed Smith's head, saying:

"I can say with complacency that my granddaughter is the most talented treasure maker I have ever seen.

Even her teacher Jonesfield praised her talent.

And the little Bingtang I met a while ago.

To be honest, her sense of business and her exploitation of human greed, as well as the endless fraudulent methods.

Even an old man like me who has lived for so long, feels a chill in my back.

And she is still so young.

They are all geniuses.

Geniuses are attracted to each other.

Just like Luo Shi, the kid, became Mrak's subordinate, and Serena worshipped Somla as her teacher.

How could you, who can make so many geniuses follow you willingly, be a mortal?

I saw an extremely dazzling light in you.

Just like Credel, Tanan, Deken, Gru, Sandro, Mrak... these geniuses.

You all have clear obsessions that are enough to affect the entire Yasha world."

Qi Ge: ...

Although you made a good point.

But, I am indeed a mortal.

I am just a mortal who has the advantage of being a prophet.

If there is anything extraordinary about me, it is probably my energy value.

Only in terms of the upper limit of energy value and the speed of energy recovery, I have the confidence to say that I am a genius.

Uh... What makes it difficult for me to say is that even this talent of mine was obtained by relying on the Scepter of Quiet and the Token of Stop.

So, Qi Ge could only take a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a mortal who tries his best to do everything the best."

Seri looked at Qi Ge with a smile and said:

"If you really think so, remember your current thoughts firmly.

Afterwards, no matter what happens, no matter how many difficulties you go through, even if you have to experience the pain of death and the despair of losing everything, don't forget your current [heart].

The gap between geniuses and mortals is sometimes just this [heart].

Once you let it go, you can never get it back again."

Qi Ge always felt that there was something behind Seri's words. He was about to ask in detail, but Seri changed the subject.

"Keep this Mlak's experience for now.

I think you will need it more than me."

Ah this...

If you don't want the Jazz's experience, how can you break through to the demigod?

Hiss...

I can't tell you that I still have a copy in my hand.

Take it, take it, don't be polite to your grandson?

Although Seri's words were gentle, her actions revealed a strong feeling of a legendary hero.

She didn't give Qi Ge any chance to refuse, and directly used magic to send "Speed ​​Experience" to Qi Ge.

"Then, this is left to you.

At the same time, I'll leave the exploration of the mystery of speed to you.

By the way, Smith is also left to you."

Seri waved with a smile.

A gentle breeze rolled up Smith like a kitten and threw him to Qi Ge.

Being treated like this by his beloved grandmother made Smith's brain short-circuited for a while.

She tilted her neck and made a strange cry: "Huh??"

Qi Ge was also a little unprepared, and could only quickly hug Smith with both hands.

Seri smiled and said to the two:

"Smidt, you should spend more time with your brother.

I'm always here.

But Qi Ge has to leave in the afternoon.

Don't waste your precious time on an old woman like me.

Youth is fleeting, and time is like water.

Time is always cruel and fair.

You, cherish it well."

"Your Majesty."

Looking at the kind smile on Seri's face, Qi Ge seemed to understand why Seri's friends were all over the Yasha world.

That kind of understanding that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts was enough to melt any cold person.

At this moment, even a little politeness was unworthy of respect.

Qi Ge said sincerely:

"Your Majesty, thank you very much. Actually, I also want to spend more time with Smith.

Smith?"

Smith looked at Qi Ge with a complicated look, turned around and said goodbye to Seri with a smile:

"Grandma... Then I will come to accompany you in the afternoon."

Seri smiled kindly and said:

"Go, go.

Two hearts close to each other should stick together."

...

...

Qi Ge took Smit's hand and took Smit out of the castle.

The snow was getting heavier.

The two of them just stopped in the snow for a while, and the snowflakes piled up snowmen on their hats.

"Brakada is still as cold as ever."

Qi Ge exhaled a breath of cold air and covered Smit with his cloak.

In a good mood, he looked down at Smit and asked:

"Smith, we still have about four hours. Although it is not a long time, I will definitely do my best to accompany you during this time.

Is there any place you want to go?"

"Well..."

Smit didn't look up, just hummed softly.

Qi Ge felt that Smit's attitude was vaguely strange, so he asked again.

"Smit, is there anywhere you want to go?"

“There’s not much place I want to go.

Brother, just make your decision. "

Forehead……

elder brother……

Qi Ge sensitively noticed that something was wrong with the title.

Usually, Smit would either call himself by his first name, or he would call himself Brother Qi Ge.

This is the first time for me to address my brother directly like this.

Although this title is not offensive to Qi Ge.

No, rather, Qige became more excited after hearing this.

But Qige still noticed carefully that there seemed to be something wrong with Smit's attitude.

Could it be that...she is angry?

Is it because I keep repeating that I am Smit’s godbrother in front of Seri?

"Brother, what are you doing?

Isn’t it precious brother and sister time together?

There are only 4 hours, brother, you have to cherish it. "

Qi Ge:......

Ah, sure.

I'm angry.

"Ah, well, Smit, it was not convenient for me to directly talk about our relationship in front of His Majesty Seri just now. After all..."

After all, you are only so old and you make me look like an animal.

Qi Ge's hesitation seemed to have the opposite effect, and Smit awkwardly walked out of Qi Ge's cloak.

She turned around with a bright smile on her face and said:

"Brother, what are you talking about?

I didn't mind at all.

Ah, how about we go have something to drink.

I suddenly remembered that my grandmother took me to a very nice store a few days ago.

Let's go there. "

Smit put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, looked back, and asked doubtfully:

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you follow me?"

Although Smit did not complain or show an angry expression, Qi Ge's heart still stung for some reason.

"Ah, here it comes."

Qi Ge approached Smit apologetically, asking for the cloak to protect her from the snow.

But Smit always slipped out from under the cloak nimbly, and then quickly distanced himself from Qi Ge by two or three steps.

"That's good.

In this case, no matter who sees us, they will think that we are good siblings.

No one will misunderstand that we are a couple.

That's great, brother. "

Qi Ge:......

hiss.

Is it because it's too cold? Qige felt her stomach hurt.

He quickly opened Smit's property panel and took a look.

With a bright 200 favorability rating, there is no sign of declining.

If the favorability level is 200, even if Smit puts on the succubus' clothes, ties the ribbon himself, and lies on his own bed, there won't be anything strange.

But now, she is actually having trouble with herself?

Could it be said that Smit's action logic has even exceeded the limit of the system's favorability?

It's so troublesome that this kind of thing still happens.

Seven pigeons have big heads.

I also have to deal with Mrak, collect Sky Ship fragments, attack Hell, and upgrade the county...

There are a lot of things that must be done that are still waiting for me.

At any rate, I can be considered a preparatory boss of an anti-social organization (Fengshen).

I really don't have time to waste on my love interest here.

Besides, I'm not good at this either.

"Boom!!! Congratulations to Master Pei Jingguang for successfully investing in the [Tree of Life] Tavern and becoming the 368th partner!"

"Bah bang bang."

The shouts, applause and cheers from the [Jenova Chamber of Commerce] spread throughout the street at an inappropriate time.

As if to hide the hustle and bustle, the white snow slowly falling from the sky became denser and denser.

In order to find the source of this pure white, the seven pigeons looked up at the sky directly above.

No, nothing about saving the world, nothing about being too busy.

They're all just excuses.

In the final analysis, it's just that I have been avoiding responding to this feeling.

If I have to be more specific, I just feel that a girl as good as Smit is not worthy of a guy like me (a scumbag).

"Ah, brother, you are in a daze again."

Smit said softly:

"Really, it's always like this.

Brother, when you and I are together, your eyes always freeze in strange places.

It would be okay if we had enough time, but now we only have 3 hours and 46 minutes.

Brother, if you don't leave, I will take the first step.

After all, I walk slowly.

Otherwise, even if I will always wait for you, time will not always wait for you. "

ah.

Only then did Qige notice Smit's expression.

She muttered, but there was no reproach in her eyes.

It's a kind of helplessness that "there's really nothing you can do".

Through this expression, Qige finally understood the true meaning behind Smit's words.

He smiled and walked over to Smit.

“Although I’ll make you wait a little, I promise I won’t keep you waiting for too long.

Soon, soon your hero's journey will be on the right track.

I can also sort out this chaotic situation and gain valuable development time.

By then, we will have a lot of time together every day. "

"Really?

Let me make sure for you, what I expect is not to simply be together like an ordinary brother and sister. "

Smit looked at Seven Pigeons suspiciously.

Qi Ge smiled slightly:

"Ah, we are definitely not ordinary siblings. There is a deep bond and agreement between us."

Smit frowned, a little unhappy:

"You are avoiding the important point. It's the same as saying nothing.

I always feel that you are perfunctory me in a very clever way."

Qi Ge: ...

Smit is usually easy-going and gentle.

But when it comes to the critical moment, he always shows unusual persistence and determination.

Alas.

Whether in the past life or in reality, I will not provoke such a difficult woman. Why did I turn over in this life?

Or was I deceived by her well-behaved appearance when I first met her?

If this goes on, I am afraid that sooner or later I will try it out of impulse, and then it will lead to endless desires, and finally indulge in the fusion with that young and strong soul.

On the one hand, I fell into the vortex of self-blame and reflection, on the other hand, I despised myself as a hopeless scumbag, and on the other hand, I continued to ask for it until the pure relationship between the two people completely collapsed.

How could such a thing be allowed?

Ahhh, it's scary just to imagine.

Qi Ge knew very well that once he and Smith crossed that line, this would inevitably happen.

Smith's feelings for him were heavy enough to crush him, and his response to Smith would be hot enough to burn everything.

Before, he had been trying to accumulate their feelings.

It was like using a high dam to block the flooding mountain torrents.

Qi Ge knew the principle of Dayu's flood control.

The more the feelings were blocked, the more the flood would accumulate.

When the dam broke, it would be a violent storm that would overturn the rivers and destroy everything.

Originally, Qi Ge wanted to release Smith's feelings bit by bit.

Unfortunately, Qi Ge only realized now that Smith's water was too much and he couldn't stop it.

This gave Qi Ge a subtle headache.

He scratched his head, smiled with relief, and said:

"Of course I know. Yes, Smith, of course I know.

The relationship between us is not just that of an ordinary brother and sister."

Anyway, let's find a way to deal with it here.

Qi Ge took out the necklace on her neck and showed it to me.

"Look, I've been wearing it all the time. I haven't taken it off for a second since you gave it to me."

Even if I was pushed to the ground by Ruoqi'er, even if I was drunk by the mermaids, I never took it off. (Proud)

Smit finally smiled.

"Yeah! I know, and I've always believed it.

From the first time we met, to the time we worked together to raise food for the territory...even until now, my brother has never let me down."

"Huh? Still calling me brother?"

"Hehe, Qi Ge."

"Smit."

"Hehe!"

Smit's steps became much lighter, and she even felt like a real elementary school student, kicking the snow while walking.

But the things that made her happy were not "student" at all.

That is, if it were in reality, it would not be too much to arrest Qi Ge and put him in jail. For Smith at this age, it is too much.

After all, Qi Ge has always been wearing...

[Smith's love necklace]

...

...

"Ah! It's coming."

Under the pure white night shadow, Smith pulled Qi Ge's hand, pointed at the big shop sign in front, and said excitedly:

"Night.

Grandma's favorite tavern.

There is also a wine named after my mother's name, Lafite.

Unfortunately, because I can't drink yet, I could only drink Black Dragon Tea that time.

But Qi Ge can definitely drink, right?

Wait for Qi Ge to finish drinking, tell me what you think, and I will treat it as if I have drunk it."

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Smith, your suggestion is terrible in every sense.

As Lafite's daughter, you let me drink Lafite...

Ah, this, just thinking about it makes me feel guilty.

I'm sorry, Smith, our adult world is much dirtier than you think.

Just as Qi Ge was thinking about how to deal with Lafite, suddenly, Qi Ge's friend message flashed quickly.

Many times, the development of things will always interrupt people's plans.

Qi Ge wanted to continue to accompany Smith.

He drank slowly, and Smith drank tea one cup after another.

Then he listened to Smith chattering about the insignificant but very interesting stories that happened in the God's Chosen City.

However, fate is not in our control.

Meteor: Saint [Adela] received a magic message from Ronis, asking the southern army to set out immediately to attack the Heart of the Abyss. Great God Qi Ge, what should we do?

Pineapple Bun: Ronis led the angel troops to the Cathedral of the Holy Sky City.

The number is about 200, all angels with golden wings.

As for the direction, it should be towards hell.

Pineapple Bun: The Holy Angel has taken off! ! Heading north, heading to the Arctic Ocean!

Xiangyu: Somla is retreating from the Flame Mountain, and the armed airship is going deep into the heart of hell.

Xiangyu: The situation has changed dramatically, Bracada and the Church of the Holy Angels have reached an alliance, and Selron is issuing a war mobilization for all forces through the Will of the Abyss.

…

…

A series of messages shook Qige's brain.

Especially those sent by Xiangyu.

Xiangtao is a giant fire elf player from the Tianxia Hegemony Guild.

He is also the spy placed by Qi Ge next to Ogatavia.

Normally, the Taro line would never be used.

As long as there is no order from Ogatavia, Xiangtao will not take the initiative to send news.

In other words, all the messages sent by Xiangtao were the most solemn reminders given to Qi Ge by Ogtavia in the manner of a traitor within Hell.

Qi Ge realized Somra's methods almost immediately.

At this critical moment, Brakada, which has always been strong, actually formed an alliance with the Church of Holy Angels!

“As for golden wings, no matter what you consider, it can only be the [Holy Angel Legion].

Miracle soldier, the supreme archangel.

The strongest trump card that Erathia has never used so far.

The Supreme Archangel and the Demon Baron both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

If we follow the rules of previous years, the Holy War will end when the forces of the Supreme Archangel and Demon Baron appear on the battlefield.

Neither the Angels nor the Demons can bear the brutal casualties caused by the meeting between the two top legions.

The church will kidnap the will of the angels, and the abyss will kidnap the will of the demons, forcing the two tribes to withdraw.

But now both armies have begun to gallop on the battlefield.

Things are already heading toward collapse, which is one of the directions Qi Ge least wants to see.

The intensity of the war escalated on a large scale.

Pawn against pawn, general against general, demigod against demigod, ace against ace.

This kind of bloody battlefield unfolds for the players, but it is not wonderful at all for Qi Ge.

He knows very well that the angels are the kind of pure war machines that will never calm down when they reach the territory of hell.

Once the Supreme Archangel enters the territory of Over, he will definitely kill him all the way until the blood flows into a river.

With Sellon's character, he would definitely bring the Hellboy Legion to fight Ronis to the death.

This means that the Thunder Lord Legion and Somra will be liberated.

From a large chessboard perspective, this means

His own intention of consuming Brakada's troops and preventing the war between Brakada and Negan will be ruined.

At the same time, the Angel Clan's fate regardless of the cost will also provide the Holy Angel Church with a large amount of promotional materials.

If the Holy Angels win and achieve sufficiently brilliant results, the influence of the Holy Angels Church in Erathia will rise rapidly.

After all, after so many holy wars, fighting against hell,

It’s no longer just the angel clan’s political correctness.

Rather, the political correctness of Erathia as a whole.

Even the children in the village of Erathia would role-play against demons when playing house.

"This is more than just a problem...it's a crisis."

Perhaps because his thoughts were too deep, Qi Ge unconsciously expressed his thoughts even though Smit was still by his side.

Ding ding~~

[Night] The welcoming bell at the door of the tavern rang appropriately.

Qi Ge was stunned and realized that he was the only one who arrived at the entrance of the [Yexia] tavern despite two people walking together.

"Smit..."

Qi Ge looked back in surprise and found Smit standing in the snow with a lonely smile.

White snow fell in waves, paving a cold road between the two.

I actually didn't even realize when Smit emerged from under the cloak.

What a gaffe.

Qi Ge felt anxious and walked back quickly.

"Smit, I..."

"Hmm~"

Smit shook his head and braced himself:

"Qi Ge, you are so serious, you are always like this."

Smit said softly:

“Qi Ge, when you and I are together, your eyes will always freeze in strange places.

If you stay in a daze for a long time, Brother Qige will always leave.

So, I kind of hate it when I see you in a daze...

However, I know, Qi Ge, you must have many things that you have to do.

When I arrived at God’s Chosen City, I heard so many stories about you.

Uncle Petra's, Uncle Koroko's, Sister Mirola's...

I suddenly realized that compared to what you have to do, I am really insignificant.

I will try my best to catch up with you Qige. One day, I will become a strong and great Smit who can stand by your side and face all kinds of difficulties with you.

But now, I am still weak.

At least, I can't be a drag on you.

so.

So, brother Qi Ge, whatever you want to do, just do it. "

Qi Ge touched Smit's face movingly.

"Smit, you are always so well-behaved and heart-warming.

In fact, even if you are more willful, I will not hate you. "

Smit blinked and took a step closer to Qi Ge.

"Then... before you leave, give me some compensation. Just a little bit will be fine."

Smit's bright red lips spit out words with floral fragrance and charm. Just smelling the mellow fragrance in the words made Qi Ge go into a trance.

"If you wish, I'd be happy to do so."

Qi Ge wrapped the two of them in a white cloak and bowed his head slightly.

Their breaths were close to each other, and the whole world seemed to be so quiet that only the sound of their heartbeats was left.

"Hmm~"

The slight gasp that escaped from the corner of Smit's mouth was quickly licked away by Qi Ge's tongue and eaten into his stomach.

In the snow that is enough to cause hypothermia, this is the only warmth that can melt everything, making Qi Ge greedy and unable to bear to leave.

Before Qi Ge could taste it, his tongue was bitten by Smit's tiger teeth.

"Hmm." Qi Ge left in confusion. "S. Smit?"

Smit's breathing was messy and his face was rosy.

She buried her face in Qi Ge's arms and panted hard.

"Hoo ho ho."

Qi Ge patted Smit's little body with a smile and asked softly again:

"Smit?"

"Well, I'm fine. I just feel a little, subtle?"

"Brother Qi Ge, your actions are so obscene and also so skillful."

Qi Ge:......

"sorry……"

"Now is not the time for you to say sorry.

Now, you should go where you should go, and wipe out the enemies in two or three strokes just like you did when you saved me twice.

Then, come back to me and pay me back the four hours you owe me.

Go and complete your mission, you stinky seven pigeons. "

There was generosity, greed, and reluctance in the girl's words, which made Qi Ge couldn't help laughing.

"Ha. At least, let me send you back first.

It's snowing and very cold. "

Smit hugged Qi Ge a little tighter.

"No, it's quite warm."

Smit’s voice: [At least, now. 】

ps:

Give everyone some candy on Christmas Eve

I thought about this part in my mind very early, and specially controlled the plot to be released on Christmas Eve.

Hamster wishes the book lovers who have a partner a happy marriage, and wishes the book friends who don’t have a partner a happy marriage as soon as possible.

Ha ha.

Merry Christmas Eve!
