You and me under the world tree

"Lord Gloria?"

Not seeing that familiar figure, the woman called out again in disbelief.

She did not enter this room, but still stood at the door.

"Stop shouting, I opened the door."

Howard said.

But he didn't rush in, but looked back at Wally.

"Let's end what we said earlier."

"what?"

"There is no reason to lower your bottom line because of the existence of other people, because it is just an excuse to indulge your desires."

Without listening to Valli's response, Hodder took a step forward.

He walked directly into the room.

"Wait, you can't just enter this room without your permission..."

"She invited us here, didn't she, and this is the office and study."

After looking around casually, Hodder said.

In his eyes, the woman's behavior was inexplicably interesting.

How should I put it, she is like a child who strictly obeys the instructions of her parents, and once someone breaks the instructions, she will be at a loss.

"Also, regarding the Lord Gloria you shouted about, she is actually here."

Speaking of this, Hodder's expression couldn't help but become weird.

Now, what he saw was a desk with several stacks of books that didn't look very neat, obviously placed randomly.

And the 'small tower' made of books was stacked into a small protective cover, enclosing a woman in it.

Gloria.

This woman fell asleep lying on her desk, and there was a closed book in front of her, and there was even a book on the ground.

But the books seemed a bit messy.

Some of them even lie on their backs, still turned on.

But all of these can lead to the most basic conclusion: Gloria has at least read books before.

Moreover, after careful consideration, further conclusions can be drawn.

After thinking of some subtle things, Hodder's expression gradually became weird.

He always felt as if he had imagined the concrete situation.

With the answer he guessed, Huo De just bent down, picked up a book, and then slowly closed it.

"My lord, did you fall asleep while reading?"

Gloria's servant finally stepped into the study.

However, maybe because she couldn't believe it, she couldn't help covering her mouth.

how to say?

She seems disillusioned?

"What? Doesn't she usually do such a thing?"

Howard just asked casually.

But he didn't even think about getting any specific answer from that woman.

"But anyway, I have to correct you. She didn't fall asleep while reading a book, but for other reasons."

"what reason?"

At this time, it was Vali who asked the question, and this made the corner of Hodder's mouth twitch.

"Aren't you a hunter?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Use your eyes to observe, after all, it's a very simple matter."

Then, Huo De put down the book in his hand, and then clapped his hands.

"Gloria!"

he shouted loudly.

"It's time to end your hibernation."

The giantess opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

Chapter 58: Why did my mother die?

The current Gloria does not seem to have the sharp momentum and shrewdness of yesterday.

In Huo De's eyes, she who just woke up seemed a little dazed, looking stupid.

But he also understands what kind of state this is.

It was the momentary emptiness that comes after waking from the deepest, sedative sleep that one cannot even dream of.

Because at this time, the mind that usually runs at high speed also needs to be restarted.

To put it bluntly, it is to 'warm up', and this process does not need to take too long.

Huo De himself needs to spend two seconds, but this woman's time is even shorter.

In just a short second, her dazed gaze gained focus.

The woman's head just moved slowly.His gaze first stayed on Hodder who was the closest to him, then on Valli, and finally on the female attendant who stood the farthest because he was at a loss.

"Lord Gloria."

After noticing that the giantess was looking at her like this, the woman couldn't help calling out.

"Well, that's enough, Gerry."

"grown ups……"

She seemed to want to say something, but saw her master slowly raised her hand.

"Go out first, thank you for your hard work."

She smiled slightly.

And the woman named Geli just looked at the two men again.

Wally and Hodder.

She just looked at them, and then looked at her mistress again.

"nothing."

What she saw was Gloria's gentle smile.

But with such a short sentence, Geli, who was still a little worried, just bowed in the end.

"I see, my lord."

She took two steps back slowly, and then walked out of the study.

No matter what kind of thoughts she has, at least she should have received the most basic etiquette education.

Therefore, there was no need for Gloria to give any orders at all, and she closed the door by herself.

'bang'

She was actually careful enough, but because there were no other sounds around, the sound of the door closing still echoed.

Under such a voice, Gloria's expression changed.

Her originally gentle expression turned serious.

Her eyes stared at the two of Hodder.

But to be precise, she should look more at Vali.

She looked into his eyes, into his face.

It seemed that he wanted to dissect him, but at the same time, there was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes that could not be erased no matter what.

Obviously, Gloria is looking for that familiar feeling in the current Valli.

And in this state, Gloria doesn't seem to want to speak first.

In the end, it was Hodder himself who broke the silence.

"So it's really a parent."

He just pouted.

"It's obviously two different faces to treat that woman and us."

In fact, these remarks can only be described as unreasonable and troublesome. After all, no matter from what point of view, he actually has no position to ask Gloria.

Attitude or something, this is Gloya's own decision.

However, his goal has been achieved.

Because just because it looks ridiculous, it can attract enough attention.

And just as he expected, Gloria shifted her gaze to him.

"I think it's not your turn to worry about my way and attitude towards them."

Gloria said calmly.

There was no sadness or joy in her words, but they were full of sharpness.

But this kind of pure deterrence can't scare Hodder.

"Indeed, I don't want to take care of this kind of shit, but now we can't just do nothing and say nothing."

He glanced back, and he happened to be able to see the grandfather clock facing the desk, and the pointer on it pointed to the time of noon.

"In short, after thinking about it all night, you should have thought through a lot of things, right?"

He will never hand over the initiative or anything, but he can't talk too hard.

To put it bluntly, Huo De saved a little face by asking questions like this.

Because if he really wants to tell the truth, he is no longer a question.

He actually has a thousand percent certainty about this kind of thing.

Because this study, which looks like it hasn't been cleaned up in time, has already betrayed a lot of things.

For example, those books that are randomly placed on the ground.

Because they obviously didn't fall off the bookshelf, and judging by their position, it was obvious that they were thrown by their mistress.

Moreover, this woman was obviously in a dormant state in which she was compulsively sedated, and it was difficult to receive even external messages.

Combining these two points, one can almost imagine what kind of mood she is in.

pain, anger.

worrying and nervous.

Even now Hodder could see these emotions in her eyes.

In this way, they blend and mix, forming an emotion that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Some things have passed for a long time, but this does not mean that she will let it go.

If the wound is too deep, it will become inflamed and ooze pus. Even if the outer skin seems to be healed, as long as the outer shell is torn off, you can smell the black stench inside.

"Ok, I know."

In the end, Gloria didn't deny anything anymore, he didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, but took the fig leaf given by Huo De.

This can be regarded as maintaining the last dignity, right?
