Chapter 13: Aunt spares her life

After sending Yuri and the others away, Lyra took Cecilia's little hand and entered the house.

"Teacher, guess who I met on this mission?" Cecilia said as she pushed the door open and turned back to Lyra.

"Charles?" Leila covered her lips lightly, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Charles pressed by Hawke in a chair, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Uncle, aunt..."Charles didn't know what he was nervous about, and he said hello and stuttered a little.

"Hawke, let him go," Layla was furious when she saw her nephew being held like a prisoner by Hawke, "why are you bullying him?"

"Bullying him?"

Ezek and Cecilia confirmed Lyra's words in unison, and then turned to look at Charles.

In their opinion, Charles has already excelled in skin, only he bullies people, how can anyone bully him?

Before Lyra could finish speaking, she strode closer, and the long stick sprang out with a "bang" and hit Hawke's hand against Charles.

"Ahh

Hawke was also defenseless, and his arm hurt abnormally when he was so little by the long stick, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Auntie, I'm fine..."

Seeing that Leila was so nervous, Charles couldn't help but feel a little moved, and was about to stand up to explain a few words for Hawke, but who knew that the rattan stick came at him in the next second.

"I'll kill you unfilial son!"

Leila shook her hand gently, the stick was like electricity, and she taught Charles a lesson, and in just one sentence, she had already ordered seven or eight sticks, and greeted Charles's fleshy thighs and buttocks.

Like a poisonous snake that burst out and hurt people, Stick Shadow Sen Sen bit him on the leg in the blink of an eye.

Changed to Charles here a year ago, Leila shook her wrist and came down with seven or eight sticks, he couldn't even run away, so he could only stand obediently and receive this teaching.

But today's Charles is different, a year of survival in the wilderness has made his reflexes extremely amazing, and his body naturally moves before he has time to think.

He knocked the chair away with his knees the moment he made a move, and his steps changed slightly, changing to a position where he could stand.

When the long stick was approaching, his figure suddenly blurred, and the stick technique of seven or eight dragonflies and water was not even able to touch the corner of his clothes.

Although Leila's action was intended to be a point, Charles's reaction was far beyond her expectations, and the figure seemed to be casually dangling with the long stick, and dodged her few surprise attacks.

"Good boy!"

This blow missed the shot, which made Leila immediately interested, and while laughing and scolding, her footsteps did not stop, and her jade hand shook into snow white for a while.

The long stick turned around with a "boom", and a spirit snake spit out a letter, and in an instant, seven or eight sticks that were exactly the same as just now split out.

It's just that this time it's no longer just aimed at his thighs and buttocks, and the drop has covered Charles's whole body.

After these few dodges, Charles had already come back to his senses, and then looked at the shadow of the stick that was about to split himself into a bad one, who didn't know that his aunt's education time had come.

This stick is no joke, it hurts for a long time.

Thinking of the sore spot, he didn't dare to stand stupidly anymore, and the brainwave detection locked on Lyra with all his might, turned his head and ran.

Laila allowed him to distance himself again, and the hook of her elbow turned blue, and her body changed sharply.

The hazy stick shadow that was already clenching Charles suddenly accelerated again, and it was about to hit him.

"Wow!"

Under the cover of Charles's brainwaves, as soon as Leila's posture changed, he "saw" clearly, and immediately connected the dots with his steps, followed by a steep acceleration, and finally narrowly avoided the stick.

"Huh?"

Cecilia had been learning stick art with Leila for years, so she knew what the starlight in the shadow of the stick meant.

The teacher's stick has obviously moved a little, but it still can't help Charles.

As the saying goes, laymen look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway, just looking at this stick, she knows the gap between herself and Charles.

In other words, she has no way to avoid at this time, and can only attack instead of defending, but she is destined to be entangled by Leila's dense offensive, and finally abandon the stick and surrender.

Charles, on the other hand, although a little reluctant, still avoided it, and under the pursuit of Leila, he slowly began to adapt to the attack of the long stick, and he no longer looked embarrassed before.

Leila saw that Charles was extremely slippery, and her back seemed to have eyes, which made her stick fall short, but she was relieved but inevitably a little angry.

Although I don't know why my nephew has improved so much during this time, since she knows that she can't hurt him easily, then she doesn't need to be polite to Charles.

I only heard her eyebrows condense and whisper:

"Hundred flowers... Messy jade!"

The chaotic sticks exploded like fireworks, turning into a rain of flowers and falling towards Charles.

Charles was busy running away, only to feel a strong fragrance for a while, the sound of breaking the sky resounded in his ears, and his mind had clearly shown Leila's figure, but there was no way to judge where the stick was going to fall.

There was only a moment of stunned between the electric light and flint, and this "flower rain" poured down.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

Leila has split more than a dozen sticks so far, and she is willing to let Charles go easily with one move, but she just controls her strength, picking out the fleshy parts that hurt but not hurting, and crackling a good fight.

"Aunt spare my life, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Charles hugged his head and covered his face, and subconsciously shouted out the usual words of the past.

The three of them covered their eyes in unison, watching the invincible Young Master Griffin being squeezed into the corner and "beaten", and the three of them inevitably felt a feeling of sadness in their hearts.

In fact, Laila lost her anger after a few strokes, and in the past she taught Charles a lesson, the same stick to the buttocks.

Although Charles is introverted, he is a little smart, often covering his ass with his hands, so that Leila is reluctant to slap his palms, and even if he does, he will handle it lightly.

And today, Leila found that this nephew, who she hadn't seen for more than a year, subconsciously knew that she had to protect her brain first.

The action of holding her head skillfully makes people feel distressed, and Laila can't help but feel sour when she sees it in her eyes:

This kid must have suffered a lot outside.

Thinking about it in his heart, his subordinates were naturally even more reluctant to exert themselves, and after a few painless hits, he simply put away the stick and watched Charles's "performance" on the ground.

"Alright, stop howling. ”

Laila said angrily, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Say, where did you die this year, do you know that Anna is going to die in a hurry!"

"That's... Auntie, listen to me..."Charles stopped acting when he heard this, scratched his head and got up a little embarrassed, "That, it's not that I don't want to go home... I'm lost. ”

"Teacher, this time we went out to take on the task of finding Master Griffin. ”

Cecilia saw that the teacher's anger had subsided, and hurriedly handed over a glass of milk obediently: "I met him in Quinta City." ”

Layla took the milk and took a sip, "Quinta City, why did you run there?"

"I was washed away by the Santo Doran River, but I don't know where I went, and I walked for a long time to find Quinta City. ”

Charles found a seat nearby and sat down: "Auntie, you know that I haven't been far away, and there is no one in that place who can ask for directions, if I wasn't lucky, I guess I wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Azek also worked in Crimson Coral, and seeing that although Leila still had a tense face, there was a look of concern in her eyes, so he helped Charles and said:

"Boss, when we met him, he was entangled in a steel-boned demon ape, and even we were attacked by it. ”

Hearing this, Leila's expression changed, she looked Charles up and down, and asked, "Steel-Bone Demon Ape?"

"Well, such a tall, big monkey has been following me for more than a month. Charles stood up and made a few exaggerated strokes.

"Adult Steel-Bone Demon Ape, how could you mess with that kind of thing?" Layla's brow furrowed as she turned her head to look at the three of them again.

"Uh... Maybe I killed his son..."

Charles looked at Cecilia and Azek a little embarrassed, and seeing that both of them were staring at him with unkind expressions, he quickly explained:

"But listen to me, it's the hand that made the first move!"

"I don't believe it, you removed one of the children's legs to make a hammer handle. Azek looked "I don't know about you yet?" and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

Sure enough, in the next second, I heard Leila slap the table and scolded in a fierce voice: "Nonsense, is the steel-bone demon ape something you can provoke?"

"It's really its hand that made the first move...", Charles shrank his head in fright, and looked at Leila aggrievedly.

"Make a note first, and then turn back and let Anna teach you a lesson. ”

Leila was so angry that she almost stabbed him with a stick, and when she saw Charles's appearance, she remembered that this kid really couldn't lie, so she picked up the milk and drank it, which calmed her mind for a while, and then asked:

"How did you survive being targeted by such a murderous thing?"

"Just kill it~ But don't say it, this monkey's head is really iron, and it's okay to eat my hammer several times. ”

Charles said with a fluttering eyebrow, while taking out the silver crystal, and handed it to Laila as if offering a treasure: "Na~ That's it." ”

"Dharma, Dharma!" Leila took the silver crystal and examined it in her hand in disbelief.

Cecilia listened to Charles's lightheartedness, and immediately rolled his eyes at him, and ruthlessly pierced:

"Teacher, don't listen to him brag, he was almost beaten to death by the steel-bone demon ape, not ashamed~"

There was a huge amount of information in the conversation between the two, and Leila shook her head, turned back to Hawke, who had been standing honestly for a long time, and said, "Hawke, you kid is honest, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Oh, okay, boss. Hockne scratched her head and began to explain the situation to Leila one by one. "We settled in Quinta that day..."

“...”

“... After Master Griffin used his magic to lengthen his short sword and stabbed the steel-bone demon ape to death, the rhinoceros herd was about to rush over, and it was Master Castro who appeared in time to save us. ”

"Wait, you say Charles can do magic?"

Hearing that Lyra finally couldn't sit still, she felt that Hawke was even more untrustworthy than Charles himself said.

Hawke struggled to recall the situation with a bitter face, and said truthfully:

"Yes, his sword was originally out of reach of the steel-bone demon ape, but when he shouted, the sword became more than ten meters long. ”

"Impossible, Charles has no talent since he was a child, how suddenly..."

Lyra, still unable to imagine the facts of what Hawke was telling, asked, "Who is Master Castro you were talking about?"

"It's Lord Steel. ”

"Uh... You're in luck. ”

Lyra looked at the few people who were safe and sound, although she knew that in the end they all returned safely to the royal capital Arton, but some twists and turns also made her nervous, she stared at Charles for a long time, frowned and asked:

"What the hell is going on!"
