9. The lineage of Charlie

Towards noon, Neil says goodbye to his friends and returns to the street where he returns home, where Neil and Travis' homes are close to each other, and the way home is naturally the same. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

They would meet every day when they went out, and the day after they came back from the mountains that day, Travis personally came to apologize.

Neil quickly accepted that it was just Neil himself making trouble, and now that he thinks about it, Neil has almost forgotten why he was angry at Travis at the time. There are times when anger comes and goes quickly.

As he walked down the street, Neil was about to see his door, when Travester called out to Neil.

"Travis?"

"Neil, shall we go to the Secret Land again in the afternoon?"

"Catch fish like you did last time?"

"No, no, the last time I got home, I almost caught a cold, and my mother asked me where I went, and I couldn't hide it, so I could only tell her that I went to the beach, and she almost scolded me to death. ”

"Are you still here in this weather?"

"I have news, I heard some adults......" Travis suddenly became cautious, he continued in a low voice: "There is a seaside, in that cave in the secret place, I heard from the adults in the tavern that there have been a few outsiders recently, mercenary adventurers or something, there seems to be something in the cave. ”

"I think it will attract adventurers here, maybe there will be treasures in the depths there, so let's go and see them. ”

"I don't want to hit you, Travis. Neil thought for a moment and said to Travis, "Since there are so-called adventurers, and you heard from the tavern, even if there are things in the cave, it is very likely that they have been found by that group of people, and there is no point in us going there." ”

"Don't say that, Neil, let's go together, let's go together!"

"Travis, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I promised Mrs. Cusy before......" Neil squinted his eyes and looked at Travis slightly, "You went to the tavern, you mentioned just now, you only knew the news after you went to the tavern!" Neil deliberately pressed the tone of the word tavern very heavy, Travis remembered something, and his face suddenly turned very blue and blue.

"......" Travis froze suddenly.

"Let's go back!"

"Neil, you're good, if you don't go, I'll go by myself! I'm kind enough to invite you!" Travis ran away and ran home.

"Hey, hey, Travis!!" Neil called out to Travis, who was really angry, and ran into the house at once, closed the door, and didn't hear Neil's voice.

“…… This guy must have done it on purpose. Neil, who stayed where he was, muttered to himself, but then shook his head, "Forget it, there is no need to question that he is angry, he didn't pretend to be angry, I annoyed him...... Perhaps, I shouldn't have mentioned the tavern, but I don't think everything I said was wrong, I was just doing it for his good, and we shouldn't go there in this weather, it's not a good thing to catch a cold......"

As if to explain his feelings, as if to excuse himself, Neil tried his best to convince himself that he had done nothing wrong.

Again, he'd say the same thing to Travis.

While Neil was thinking about this, the door behind him suddenly opened, and Baker had seen Neil pass by through the window just now, but for a long time, Baker didn't see Neil come in. So, Baker opened the door and walked out, and then he saw Neil standing there.

"What are you doing?

After lunch, Neil went to Charlie's room and wanted to tell her about what happened outside.

"You're here again, Neil, have you eaten?"

"I ate, I came over after the lunch was solved, Xia Li, I have always seen you lying in bed, have you eaten anything today?"

Xia Li lay on the bed, tilted her head and looked at Neil, "Eat, every day from very early Mr. Baker prepares some breakfast for me, and only starts to eat after breakfast, and at eleven o'clock Mr. Baker personally continues to prepare lunch for me, some light snacks, and after a little food in the stomach, he personally brings me the medicine." The evening was still the same, Mr. Baker served me, and I am grateful to him. ”

"Oh, he's like a babysitter. ”

"It was my father who asked Mr. Baker, and I really appreciate him, and when my father was not with me, Mr. Baker would talk to me a lot every time he came over, and thanks to you and Mr. Baker, I didn't get bored during this time here. ”

“……”

"What's going on? Neil, something doesn't look right with you. ”

"Something is wrong? No, I'm just thinking about something, and the words have become a little less. ”

"That's not what your voice told me. Xia Li said.

"Huh?"

"After all, I have the blood of the water tribe, I am very sensitive to the sound of ten, and sometimes, I can judge his mood by a person's voice. Your current mood seems to be a little lost, not as simple as thinking about something. ”

"You're so sharp, it's nothing, I just don't understand, this morning, just before I went home, I had an argument with a friend. ”

"You said the wrong thing, didn't you? Neil, go and apologize. ”

"I'm just kind, that guy is obviously older than me, but his ideas are more childish than mine!"

"I don't really understand. ”

"He just wants to play, and I'm just worried about staying there, really, really, it's easy to get sick, he doesn't listen to me, the previous time is the same, this time is the same, insist on continuing to be there!"

“…… Everyone is different, just like me and you, you don't get sick as easily as I am, I'm weaker than the average person, I'm in poor health. ”

"I know, he thinks I'm verbose!"

Xia Li glanced at Neil, who was secretly sulking, turned her head, stared up, didn't know what to think, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Neil, do you have time? I want to sing, my mother used to sing to me since I was a child, it was a song in Marine, and at first I thought it was very beautiful, and I didn't understand what it meant. Later, my mother taught me the whole song, and that was the first time my mother taught me how to pronounce the Shui language, and I knew the meaning of the song. ”

"I want to sing, can I? ”

"Hmmm......"

Neil listened to her sing, Xia Li didn't sing the song in the lingua franca, this unfamiliar note, unfamiliar syllables and intonation, probably the language of the water tribe. Neil didn't understand, but he fully felt that this song conveyed Xia Li's mood and beautiful melody.

"It's really amazing, better than the bard's singing. ”

"Thank you. Xia Li smiled, "Actually, now I can only sing this song in the Shui language, and I can't sing it in its entirety very proficiently." ”

"That's nice too!"

"Thanks, next time, when I've done enough practice, I'll sing this song in the lingua franca, Neil, you'll be my first listener. ”

"Well, okay, we agreed!"

"You look much happier now, it's great, Mother is right, music is an art, even if you don't need to understand the literal meaning correctly, music can convey real thoughts through mood. ”

"I'm sorry to have you comfort me, but by the way, can you tell me about your mother?"

"Okay, my mother is from the Aqua Tribe, and when I was a child, I went to the Aquarium territory once, so I'll tell you about it......" Charlie began to tell Neil about an experience she had as a child.

……

…………

Baker stood outside the door, and he roughly heard part of the conversation between Neil and Charlie.

“……”

"These two children, I didn't make a mistake in my decision, Emily, now that your soul has been thrown into the arms of the four gods, you must be able to see this scene too...... The two children get along very well. ”

“……”

Baker held his forehead and couldn't help laughing, "Until just now, I was still a little worried about this child, but now it seems that there is a gentle and careful little Xia Li, even if she is not here for the time being, you don't have to worry about this child." ”

"Emily, how much little Charlie is like you at the beginning, you have to bless your daughter. ”

"Great Quartet God, please protect and bless these two children in the days to come. ”

"By the way, there's that place, you have to go there, and the Cussi kid can't let it go. Baker turned and walked downstairs, and if it weren't for the occasional sight of Travis running to the beach, Baker wouldn't have noticed it until now.

It wasn't a safe place, and in fact, it was Baker who had issued a commission in the tavern to attract adventurers.

Over the years, once every ten years, at a distance from the sea, Shenge Harbor has attracted a group of high-level magical beasts called the Kraken.

The reason why the Kraken appears at the seashore is because once every ten years, the Aquarium holds a grand gathering at the bottom of the sea. In that year, there will be a phenomenon of demonic beasts being driven to one place by the aquarium on the bottom of the sea, and sea monsters such as the Kraken will temporarily leave the aquarium's field of vision.

Baker issued this quest in order to avoid a Kraken attack on the Terrans in places where the Kraken might appear.

It's just that Baker doesn't know if there are Krakens in Shenge Harbor in the second decade now, after all, in recent years, Shenge Harbor has gradually become the first concentration of water tribes on land.

For the sake of safety, Baker still posted this mission, and later, Baker actually learned from others that Neil and Travis had run to the beach. Fortunately, Neil and Travis were not in danger, and it is a good thing that they are not in danger, and after that, Baker himself is more careful and reminds others that if there are children who continue to go to the beach, Baker really needs to "warn" well.

The Kraken is a dangerous monster in the sea, except for the blue-haired and blue-eyed water tribe, other water tribes dare not take it lightly when encountering the Kraken.

"It's going to be a feast for the water tribe soon, where is Kuy now......" Since that meeting, when he handed over Xia Li to himself, Baker has never seen Kuy again, Baker only knows that Kuy went to a rather dangerous place.

That place is inaccessible to Baker now, it is the territory of the Aquarium under the sea, the castle in the deep sea, the area inaccessible to ordinary people.

Cuy made this choice for Emily's sake.

Emily is the princess of the blue-haired and blue-eyed branch of the Aqua Tribe, and from the beginning, the fact that Cuy and Emily are together has been opposed by the Aqua Tribe. Before Charlie was born, Cuy came to the deep grid harbor and tried to negotiate with the water tribe as the owner to make it possible for him to be with Emily.

However, during his time in the deep grid harbor, Kuy still did not receive the blessing of the water tribe, only their strong opposition.

Later, in desperation, Kuy had no choice but to take Emily out of the deep seaport, leaving the Rodi Pava Empire and going to the Carranslan Empire. In the Carranslan Empire, Emily was taken to find a place to settle down, and it was then that Charlie was born, and Cuy simply decided to live there with Emily and Charlie.

This is something that Baker gradually learned about after receiving a letter from Cue and Emily.

This matter, which is also a fact that Xia Li knows now, has been partially concealed, or, with Xia Li's acumen, she can naturally detect that Cue is leaving for Emily.

For Emily, Coy almost gave up his identity as a citizen of the Rodi Pava Empire, not to mention his family.

Cuy gave up a lot of things, and Coy also asked Baker to entrust his daughter to the territory of the Aqua to bring back Emily, even if it was Emily who would never open her eyes and speak again......

This matter, apart from himself, is only known best to Baker, even if he doesn't know how much Xia Li has noticed.

"Cuoy, Emily...... Xia Li......"
