Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 86 Return
Vic didn't wait for Vina to finish speaking, but turned around and left directly, anyway, the things have been returned, and he is not good at greetings or anything, so it is better to go back immediately, saving a while of embarrassment on both sides.
As for Zhao Xi, he just accompanied Vic on this trip and came out to relax, and he didn't want to do anything to these poor lizard people.
Although he is now very inexperienced and has been promoted to the eleventh level, he is not enough to destroy humanity and attack these lizard people, he still has a bottom line, of course, if they provoke him, Zhao Xi will not be soft.
"Hey, that one named Donn, wait a minute. ”
As soon as Zhao Xi took two steps, he heard someone stop him, and turned to see that it was the injured lizard man from yesterday.
"First of all, I don't call hey, my name is Chu..." Zhao Xi almost used the stalk of the previous world with a mouth, but fortunately he closed his mouth in time, otherwise his strong and ruthless character would collapse.
"What did you call me for? Mr. Lizardman. Zhao Xi sorted out his expression and said.
Mike looked at the human on the other side and looked at him playfully, and as soon as he didn't get angry, Kevin next to him also came to grab him, trying to stop him from talking, but he threw him away.
"That potion is a debt I owe you, and I'll pay it back to you before I kill you. ”
Mike looked at the human opposite with a serious face, and said this sentence slowly, for fear that the human on the other side would not be able to hear it accurately, and added an accent to the word human affection.
After Zhao Xi listened to the words of the lizardman opposite, he put away a playful smile on his face, and began to get serious instead.
"I'm waiting for the day when you have the power to kill me. Zhao Xi nodded solemnly and said, "You are much more interesting than those two lizardmen, although patience in the face of the enemy is also a good way, but blind patience will gradually exhaust your courage." ”
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he didn't wait for the lizardman on the other side to answer, but directly turned around and caught up with Vic's figure, not expecting any reaction from the other side at all.
After listening to Zhao Xi's words, Vina's face suddenly changed, and then returned to normal, as for Kevin, he still had that expressionless appearance, it seemed that Zhao Xi's words just now had no effect on him at all.
And after Mike listened to Zhao Xi's words, his intact hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and his eyes were staring at Zhao Xi's departing back, which seemed to have a fire burning.
......
After Dorothy dragged her tired body back home, it was already night, and her father had been missing for two days and one night, and there was no news at all, although Bishop Darren had mobilized the whole town to set out to find it, but not to mention the whereabouts of the news, not even a trace was found, as if his father had disappeared out of thin air.
Although the lack of food for a day and the high-intensity exercise had caused Dorothy's stomach to tingle, Dorothy lay on the table with her eyes blankly as if she didn't feel it, not knowing what she was thinking.
Maybe the grief in her heart has overpowered the pain in her body, Dorothy didn't feel anything wrong with her body, she just felt that she was a little cold now, and her hands and feet were cold.
At this time, the broth from the wooden bowl was placed in front of her, and the thick aroma of it brought back Dorothy's body to consciousness, and her stomach began to rumble in fierce protest.
Dorothy licked her chapped lips that had been caused by not drinking water for a day, and looked up at Cornelia across from her with some embarrassment.
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat, your body is going to collapse, and Mr. John will not be happy when he comes back. ”
Cornelia still has the same flat tone that has not changed for thousands of years, but Dorothy can still hear the strong concern in it.
Dorothy nodded, barely showing a smile, reached out and picked up the spoon in the bowl, took out a little broth, blew it carefully, and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"It seems that I have come back at the right time, and I have not had dinner yet, Cornelia, and give me a bowl of broth and two loaves of bread, but I am starving. ”
Zhao Xi smelled the aroma of broth, trotted all the way to the table, sat on a chair, looked at Cornelia with a cheap smile, and waited for her to serve the broth to herself.
After Zhao Xi sent the kobold people back to the tribe safely in the afternoon, he was too worried about the situation in the town, so he refused Vic's repeated retention, but didn't even eat lunch, so he set off directly from the kobold tribe and ran all the way back to the town.
Even though he had reached fifteen o'clock in size and agility, and when he returned to the town, it was already dark, and when he returned to Old John's house, he saw that the second daughter was about to eat, so he unceremoniously sat down at the table and waited for the meal to begin.
Turning his head to look at Dorothy next to her, she found that the little girl's face was not good, as if she had a serious illness, and her originally smart eyes were also a little cloudy.
"What's the matter, Dorothy, is she sick, and Uncle John, why didn't you see him?" Zhao Xi asked.
After Dorothy, who was quite calm, heard Zhao Xi mention her father's name, she turned her head to look at Zhao Xi, her eyes were red, and she fell directly into Zhao Xi's arms and cried.
"Don... Mr. Donn, Daddy... Dad, he's been missing for two days and one night, and there's no news at all, so he doesn't want me anymore. ”
Dorothy's crying and speaking were intermittent, and Zhao Xi's heart ached when he heard the poignant crying, and he didn't know what to say now, so he could only gently pat Dorothy's back and slowly soothe her emotions.
She cried more and more quietly in Zhao Xi's arms, and her breathing slowly stabilized under Zhao Xi's patting, and finally fell asleep directly in Zhao Xi's arms, even if she was asleep, her hands were tightly grasping Zhao Xi's sleeves.
Zhao Xi heard Dorothy's cry and the news of Old John's disappearance, combined with Old John's strange behavior before he left, he couldn't help but be shocked, feeling that Old John seemed to be more than lucky.
Turning to look at Cornelia, who had already finished the broth, her eyes full of inquiry.
Cornelia placed the broth in her hand on the table and came to Cornelia's side, her hand radiating a soft light that healed Dorothy's minor injuries and made her sleep more deeply.
"Cornelia, do you know what the hell is going on?" Zhao Xi looked at Dorothy, who was in a deep sleep, and asked Cornelia on the side in a low voice.
Cornelia shook her head and said, "I don't know much, I just know that one night Mr. John was going out, and even after I had advised him, he still insisted on slipping through the window, and I added a protective spell to him, but Mr. John still didn't come back." ”
"Damn! Why didn't you use magic to stun him at the time! It's easy for you to restrain an ordinary person!"
After listening to Cornelia's words, Zhao Xi had a bad premonition in his heart, and looked up at Cornelia's calm eyes, and all the irritability and eagerness faded for a while.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. ”
"As far as I can guess, the unfavorable ones for Mr. John may be the mysterious church personnel and the Viscount who has never met with us at all. ”
Cornelia didn't mind Zhao Xi's tone just now, but told Zhao Xi about her guess.
"The Church of the Occult shouldn't be possible. Zhao Xi shook his head and said, and began to tell Cornelia about what happened to him in the past few days, except for the white space, he told Cornelia about everything.
After listening to Zhao Xi's story, Cornelia couldn't help but look at Zhao Xi differently, as if she was curious that he could come back alive.
"It's really a scourge to live for 10,000 years, so you can survive, and in a sense, you have also done it to the extreme. ”
After Zhao Xi listened to Cornelia's words, the green tendons on his head burst out, if it weren't for Dorothy in his arms, I'm afraid he would have gone desperately with Cornelia now.
"So, Lucas may just be a lucky madman, and there is no hidden power of the Occult Church behind him. ”
"Don, take out that black tome. ”
Cornelia didn't support Zhao Xi's words, but asked Zhao Xi for the mysterious holy book that recorded the legend of the Three Dragons.
Although Zhao Xi didn't know what Cornelia was going to do, he still took out the black holy book from his backpack and handed it to Cornelia.
Cornelia didn't speak, but just opened the holy scriptures at random, spread them on the table, and said to Zhao Xi:
"What can you see on it?"
Zhao Xi was very curious about Cornelia's words, what else could be seen on it, it was nothing more than some mythological stories or legends of the dragon god.
When he actually looked at it, he found that he could not see anything in this holy book, not a word on it, only two pages in vain.
Zhao Xi turned it over several times without believing it, it was all white paper, not to mention the words, there was not a single stain on it, it seemed to be just a black notebook that had not been written.
He turned his head to look at Cornelia in surprise, wanting to hear an explanation from him.
"You can't see anything, can you? Cornelia said.
After Zhao Xi heard Cornelia's words, he nodded and said, "Why is this happening?"
"Because this is a holy book that only believers can read, and those who do not believe in the gods written in the holy book cannot see a word on it, so even if that Lucas is a madman, he is also a madman. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Can you know the contents of a book just by its appearance? So, Lucas is a believer in this occult church, or someone in his family is, or their family is worshipping the Three Dragons, but there is a knowledge gap in Lucas because of illness. ”
"You're saying that the Church of the Mystery does exist, but this town could be the Lucas's family?"
