Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 291 Who is the protagonist

William was dumbfounded.

What kind of wonderful experience is this, the person I like confessed to myself?
An impulse was like a wave, rushing straight from the soles of the feet to the mind, swirling in the eye sockets.At this moment, William wanted to hug the smiling Fanila and share his joy with her.

He was about to do the same, William got up from his seat, and in anticipation of Fanilla, stretched out his finger to touch her shoulder.

Bang, the closet door was completely opened.

"Great! Little Fanila, you are finally brave enough to speak out!" A figure wearing a strange turquoise metal mask and a lichen costume squeezed out from the closet.

Hines huddled his tall self in the closet compartment, and stretched out one palm forward, as if trying to catch the person who got out of the closet, but failed in the end.

Hines put his other hand over his face and sighed softly.

"Dear Irason, this is not the time for us to show up."

William looked at the movable body with only skeletons left, and stretched out his hand to block Fanila behind him, "The lich..."

His gaze stayed on Hines who locked himself in his closet like a turtle, with a strange expression on his face.

"Mr. Hynes?"

Hines struggled to pull out a smile on his stiff face, "Long time no see, William." It was really embarrassing, to be seen by the younger generation in a panic.

"Irason is the elder of our dream elves, not a bad person, take it easy, William."

Receiving Hines' promise and Irason's nod like a chick pecking rice beside him, William took back the wand in his hand.

Irason took small steps and embraced Fanila, laughing with the same joy as Fanila.

"You guys, can you accept the existence of the ancestor lich?" It's hard to imagine the living and the dead rejoicing together. Even if he knew that Lyle was a necromancer, William couldn't imagine that scene.

Hines was glad the conversation was diverted elsewhere.

"Of course, she is the deceased and also our family. Isn't there a dragon priest among you humans?"

"Dragon Priest?"

"The person who once served the dragon, the person who led the great clan, is now reduced to a dregs."

William's eyes gradually softened. He scratched his head and looked at the two women who were laughing and playing with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry to keep it from you, Mr. Hynes, but I like Fanilla."

"Emotion is the instinct of living beings, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, you helped me solve a problem. I occasionally worry about Fanila's future. She sneaked out from her hometown and had sex with some scumbags. at least she likes you, and you, Mr. William, are a good match for Fanilla."

Hines stiffly expressed his approval of his niece's boyfriend.

"But next, Mr. William, you have to work hard to survive." Hynes picked up the lantern in his hand and showed it in front of William. In the firelight, two small figures were hugging and dancing, and one disappeared shortly after. The other also stopped dancing and knelt where he was, sobbing. "The lifespan of the elves is very long, which makes other races discouraged. I don't want Fanila to taste loneliness in her long life after you die of old age. Elves are dedicated people. We hold grudges and cherish each other's feelings .William, you have to become powerful, magic can prolong your life. Otherwise, I will dig your bones out of the grave and turn you into a lich." Hines' eyes became cold, although it was just a warning, but , William always felt that he wanted to do it now.Probably, this is the mentality of the old father who lost his little padded jacket.

"I will, Mr. Hines, and I will cherish every moment I have with Fanila."

"By the way, the succubus also has an extremely long lifespan, so, William, you need to work twice as hard."

"?" The succubus looked into Hines' cold eyes, and William felt the cold creep up his spine.With trembling lips, he squeezed out a few words stiffly.

"Mr. Hynes, did I hear something wrong?"

Hines narrowed his eyes slightly, and the streamer in the corner of his eyes was like a blade, tearing William's luck to pieces.

"I heard you wrong, so let me make it clear. Sue Mo An Na, your colleague, another person in your heart, Mr. William, your courage is greater than I imagined."

"Since we can let Fanila see everything about you in Bloody Rose, we will naturally be able to see the other person you care about. Mr. William, do you have anything else to explain?"

William felt his blood froze, and he became infinitely small in front of Hines, and his sweat took away his body temperature like ice and snow.

A pair of soft arms pulled William into a warm crucible, and the scent of Fanila clung to William's nose.

"Don't say it so scary, Uncle Haines." Fanila stroked William's stiff palm and complained dissatisfiedly to Haines.

Under Fanila's comfort, William is like a dying man returning to his soul.He looked at Fanila's clean face with averted eyes.

"Have you heard about Anna, too, Fanila?"

Fanila took out an egg-shaped leaf and wiped the fine sweat off William's head, "Of course I know, because Anna looks into your eyes and the expression on her face is very familiar to me, just like I am looking in a mirror. But you don't notice it at all."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Angry? It's impossible to say you're not angry." Part of the smile on Fanila's face dissipated, and she stroked William's cheek with her fingers. My heart is sad, and it is hard not to cheer for Anna. The conflicts between you, the disputes between happy enemies, and the feelings contained in them are like moonlight fruits that are constantly ripening. If you fall in love with William, it must be a very beautiful thing ,my words……"

"If possible, I also want to see Anna happy."

This is... agree?

"But aren't elves a dedicated race?"

"Yeah, basically, elves only like one person," Fanila's finger slid lightly on William's palm, "but elves still like a harmonious race, I don't want to see you and Anna unhappy .Also, the human race is not monogamous, right? Many nobles in the mystics have many spouses."

"William will definitely be better than them in the future, so it doesn't make sense to choose one spouse. Or, William doesn't like Anna. William, you can like two people at the same time, right?"

Seeing Fanila with uncertain eyes, William hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Fanila."

Fanila's body softened under William's embrace, leaning against his chest as if it was not supported stably.

"This is not pampering you, it's just that I like Anna too. Besides, you can't reduce your liking for me, you have to redouble your devotion! Otherwise, I will run away with Anna!"

William hugged Fanila even tighter, wanting to rub her into his body.

"I will, Fanila, I will like you twice as much, and I will not give you a chance to escape."

Fanila's palm caressed William's head, and her bright lips breathed in William's ear.

"Go get Anna back, William, this time, you must try to confess."

"...I will, Fanila."

"Anna hasn't left the Wandering City yet, and she's in trouble right now. Irason is the most powerful fortune teller I've ever seen, and she will tell you where Anna is. Go grab what you want, William. "

Fanila let go of her arms, and after William kissed lightly on the cheek, she walked up the stairs.

William asked Irathon about Anna's location, and quickly left Hynes' cabin.

Hines paced to the second floor, where the little girl in his memory was playing her harp in the shade of the windowsill.Hines saw the light on her face, rippling with the melodious sound of the piano.

"You have never been a humble girl, Fanila, I still remember when you were young, when your sister asked you to share the fruits with your playmates, you cried in front of me for a long time..."

The jumping fingers on the strings stopped.

"Mother's request is right, just like now, I know, it's the right thing." Fanila looked up at his uncle, water drops fell like gems, "But, why is it obviously right, It still hurts me...Uncle."

Just like before, Hines stroked her head, and there was a streamer in those gloomy eyes.

"Our little girl has grown up and has become a mature beauty. Your parents, Doroto and Frannel, will bless you, Fanila, our sweet dream."

Fanila acted coquettishly on Hines's shoulder as she did when she was a child, "No, they don't care about me at all. I've been here for so long, and they don't care about me."

"That's because I have correspondence with them every day. The tree monkey they raised came to me. Of course, I have to write an observation diary." Hines successfully made Fanila smile.

"And, I have new good news for them soon."

"Their baby is in love."
