Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 494: White lie

"It's you?" When Helija knocked on the door of the private room and looked at the two Harolds who were already anxious like ants on a hot pot, and couldn't help smiling, Harold was already astonished. Recovered in the middle, "Sure enough..."

"Yeah... I know what's going on." Heliga waved his hand and motioned to the Harolds and his wife to sit down first, and the waiter had already started serving food-although none of the three of them seemed to want to eat. Means, "But because of the particularity of the matter...I have to confirm something first..."

"So, that girl is indeed..." The couple looked at each other, and their emotions became excited.

"Yeah...Unless this whole thing is a big joke made by the goddess, the truth of the matter is like this." Heliga nodded, "That kid...the one you always thought is no longer alive... Your biological daughter, Ling."

"Where is she now?" Harold stood up immediately impatiently, compared with the usual gentleness, "What the **** happened—"

"You calm down. It will take a while for her to get here." Heliga pressed Harold's shoulders and pressed Harold back to his seat. "To be honest, there is still Some misunderstandings that almost led to big mistakes...Fortunately, at the protection of the goddess, these misunderstandings were uncovered, and this meeting was only possible." Heliga's tone became serious, and Harold's impatient mentality became a little calmer. Come down, "Before that...Let me introduce the cause and effect, the ins and outs, how about it?"

"You're right... I was too impatient." Harold sat back in his chair, somehow lost, "Um...Excuse me, what happened during this period?"

"Let’s start with your friends who fostered Ling in the Republic..." Heliga's tone slowed down, and the Hevass listened carefully, "Just shortly after you put Ling in that house...the Republic, the empire, and the autonomous prefecture around the same time. Large-scale bandit activities have arisen. Their existence was finally wiped out by the regular troops sent... and the Republic is one of their strongholds after all."

"So...Ling her..." Harold gently covered his mouth, "Involved in these things?"

It’s not unheard of Harold that the "D.G Order" did evil things in the past, as well as the joint annihilation of it by Crossbell and many other parties. However, in terms of external propaganda, many details of the existence of the "religion" itself have been vaguely conveyed. For example, the existence of the sect, those brutal human experiments, and their doctrine that denies the existence of a goddess—all people don’t know. These things will have a bad impact on the operation and organization of major departments. Therefore, their calibre on this matter is highly unified, and they have maintained their tone strictly to the present, so Harold only knows about it, but I don't know what happened.

"Yes... But fortunately, after Ling was taken away by them, before she could do anything, she was rescued by rescue forces from the Empire... However, the internal contradictions in the empire were still there at that time. In a very serious stage, after the short mission, because of the strong class antagonism, the rescue team composed of the noble and civilian forces on the empire side has almost zero execution power... In this case, "Fourth The noblemen of the "Da Ming Men" and Prime Minister Osborne from the government had to order the withdrawal of the army, leaving behind a lot of mess... Because of this, Ling was left unattended... But luck was not bad. Nobleman-helped her find a new home. "Speaking, Heliga took out a photo: He asked Levi to take it at Master Yoguru, in order to make up a white lie at this moment, to avoid the real encounters of those Ling. "This is a well-known master of guidance and intelligence in the industry... He has seen Ling's talent and has been imparting relevant knowledge to her. "

"Is that so..." Hearing Heliga's narration, Harold's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Knowing that Ling had suffered unattended in that large-scale siege, Harold's heart His self-blame and guilt again dominated; and when he heard that his daughter was not only safe, but also helped by the nobles, and had a good time, he felt a little comfort in guilt.

"But..." Sophia said from the side, "This... Mr. Heliga?" Sophia barely remembered the name of the boy Harold had mentioned, "What about this matter... How did it involve you? What's on your body?"

"Because... The self-introduction that Mr. Harold and I said when we first met was not fake." Heliga blinked playfully. "I am indeed a nobleman from the Empire... In terms of business, I always have contacts with Ling’s mentor, so I got to know Ling... In fact, the doctor knew about Ling a long time ago. By mistake, Ling knew about the two of you. In the matter of Crossbell, she fell into entanglement again... You know, in her heart, she always thought that you don’t want her, abandoned her... betrayed her. So she is still very much about recognizing you. resisting……"

"We didn't..." Harold was anxiously trying to defend, but his wife grabbed the skirt and pushed it back on the chair, "How could it...that was a big misunderstanding...we don't have that kind of thought... …"

"It's a pity that when Ling came to Clos Bell for the first time, she happened to see the scene where you were holding your second child..." Heliga sighed, sometimes fate is so volatile, "For children ...What a misunderstanding that is, you should understand it too?"

"..." The couple was silent. They understood that at that time, because they had just lost a daughter and gained a son, they added a lot of petting that seemed to be too much to Colin, who had just suffered a lot at that time. What kind of thought would it be after seeing it?

"Yeah... It seems that you understand." Heliga's tone eased, "Fortunately... As I said, the doctor who has always been worried about Ling's affairs, this time just took advantage of it. Taking the opportunity of my coming to Crossbell, I brought Ling along with me... I tried every means to make sure that you are not irresponsible parents who abandon your daughter, and to put all your feelings well-for The daughter's thoughts and guilt were conveyed to her - and now this "showdown everything" decision was made by her herself. "

"Ah..." Harold heard Heliga's overtones, "Could it be that..."

Heliga pressed the tabletop gently.

After that, the door that was originally only a concealed door was gently pushed open...
