Chapter 74: Bad News Comes
After Fat Orange entered the obelisk, he did not change anything, his strength did not recover, he still looked like an ordinary domestic cat, and his unbelievable hidden ability was not enhanced, and he still only had a source energy skill "Blessing Technique".
But on the fourth day, Jacques noticed a change in himself.
First, Jacques found himself at the peak of the Awoken, faster than expected. Become the third Awoken pinnacle in the team in addition to Alyssa and Emma.
Secondly, no matter how far Fat Orange ran out, Jacques could summon it to his side with a single thought, and the six subsidiary source skills of the Alien Beast Contract had already mastered the third.
With three days to go, Jacques reached the peak of the Awoken, which was good news for the Minority League squad.
To celebrate Jacques' ascension, Lily decides to take the teenagers out of the South Gate to shop, shop, and eat.
Hearing that the boss's distinguished guests were going to go shopping outside the south gate, Mustafa, a clever apprentice, pushed three tandem bicycles one after anotherβa new gadget that the boss just bought this month, and the latest trend in the imperial capital.
Don't look at the iron body of the bike, plus two rubber-wrapped wheels, and you still need to rely on a stand to stand up, but when Mustafa steps on the seat, the pedals are pressed, the chain is driven, and the wheels rotate, and the car can move steadily.
The person in the front seat can operate the handle to control the direction, the person in the back seat has its own pedal to assist in providing power, and there is a small basket at the end to put things, which is simply the perfect tool for shopping.
Six transcendents learned how to use a bike in a matter of minutes. So, the six of them divided into three groups, Fabian and Natasha, Alyssa and Emma, Jacques and Lily, got on their bikes and set off laughing and laughing.
Two hours later, Jacques and Fabi were filled with desperation, carrying various bags and following behind the four girls, who had not yet left the First Clothing Building for so long...... Where is the end?
At dinner, Jacques finally swept away the boredom of being a porter and filled his hungry belly with all sorts of delicacies he had never seen before.
But life always likes to play all kinds of jokes, and when the six return to the "Eagle of Huerdo", the lobby manager Gustav delivers an urgent letter from Port Mousse, which was written to Lily by the president of the Nasrid branch. After reading the letter, Lily handed it to Jacques with a heavy heart.
The news of Marlo Renault's death has arrived!
Everyone was comforting Jacques, but Jacques was thinking that how could his father, who was the grandmaster, die in the mouth of the silvertip shark, there must have been some accident, and his father had to fake his death and hide. But although he persuaded himself not to worry, there was still a faint uneasiness in his heart, what if the enemy chased him?
The old man is very bad! He doesn't say anything, he doesn't even know who the enemy is, and now he is even more uncertain about his life and death, how can he be reassured?
Worried, Jacques went back to his room alone, wanting to be quiet.
A short time later, there was a knock on the door, and Jacques moved to the door and opened it. Lily, dressed in a loose gown and bare-legged, stood in the doorway.
"What's the fuss, aren't you welcome me in?"
"Ah, Master Lily, I didn't expect it...... Come in. β
The rooms of the hotel were simply furnished, and instead of choosing the small couch in front of the mantle-orange fireplace, Lily walked briskly to Jacques's bedside, sat down on the bed, and rested her feet on the toon wood bench at the foot of the bed.
Jacques had no choice but to close the door and go back to the house, pick up Fat Orange, vacate the seat of the small sofa, and sit down, just in front of Lily's jade feet and slender calves that had kicked off her slippers.
"Ahem, Master Lily, it's so late...... Are you ......?"
"Oh, I'll take a look at your situation, your father's matter, I'm sorry, if you feel bad, don't go to the competition, I'll help you think of other ways to graduate early, I think they can understand you. β
"No need, Lily, I'm fine, just rest for a day or two, it won't affect the game, everyone has been preparing for so long, it's not just for me to graduate early, I think...... Everything will be fine. β
Lily continued to ask Jacques about his plans for the next few days, and after Jacques answered briefly, the room fell silent.
After a while, Lily finally mustered up the courage to say: "I heard that the house where your family lives is rented, or after the competition, you can return to Port Moussey, you can move to my house......!"
Jacques said: "Don't bother you and your father, if I can graduate early, I think I will leave Port Mousse......"
"Leaving Port Moussey, where are you going? ...... You're only 17 after the race, aren't you? Where are you going?"
"I haven't decided until after the game, maybe it's the Northern Regions, maybe it's the New World. The master who taught me the art of Mithril suggested that I go to the Northern Regions after graduation, and Fabian and Alyssa will go to the New World after graduation, I think I can go to the New World to give them a front stop first, by the way, Fabian's second brother, Koyatel just left for Pappas two months ago, I can also go to him. β
"No...... I mean...... Do you have to leave Port Moussey?"
Jacques didn't dare to look at the white legs in front of him anymore, turned his face sideways, looked out the window, the bright moon was hanging high, and replied, "Lily, have you noticed?" Boarding the train from the port of Mousse inner city station, it took us only five minutes to drive out of the city, an hour to Casares, five hours to leave the five southern cities, 26 hours to the rand, 44 hours to the imperial capital, if I remember correctly, the imperial capital to Lundineum is 69 hours, to Coron is 80 hours, so you see, the empire is huge, and it is said that the New World is even bigger than the empire.
I don't want to be confined to Port Mousse, which is just five minutes away.
I want to walk around, see everywhere, and hone myself by the way.
There was a man who began to wander around at the age of 18, traveling throughout the empire and the New World, and became a grandmaster at the age of 23.
I don't have to become a grandmaster so quickly, I probably don't have that ability, but I want to walk around like him and see everywhere......"
Lily asked, "He's the one who gave you the ability to quickly accumulate source energy to become the pinnacle secret method of the Shaper?"
Jacques shook his head.
Lily continued: "It turns out that there is someone else, but if I can meet the person who taught you the secret method when I return to Port Moussey after the game, I need to thank him, without you and his secret method, I would not have improved so fast, I want to thank him in person." β
Jacques palpitated in his heart, it was a secret method relayed by his father from his mother, who had long since died, and he was uncertain whether his father was still safe, and his heart was in turmoil, and he said, "Maybe...... It's going to be a little difficult, I'll arrange it when we get back. β
Jacques thought to himself, if he can't let Twenty-Three come out to see Lily.
"Are you sure which line you want to understand as the second line? Maybe you will get married next year, is it too late?
Lily's mood also became a little depressed, she leaned back weakly, looked at the painted ceiling, and said: "My qualifications are too poor, although I have been at the peak of the plasticizer, but I haven't found any line that can become my second line until now, I have tried to go to the main qi and secondary fire like my father, failed, and I have also tried the other four elements, but the effect is not good, if the natural and dark systems are not good, I will try your chaos system, haha......"
Jacques also smiled reluctantly: "Then I will teach you to summon war horses, you have to call me master." When you encounter a bottleneck, maybe you can break through if you go out for a walk like me and see the world, and you have a different mood. β
Lily stared at the ceiling with blank eyes and empty minds.
Like you? With you...... Let's go see the world?!
