Chapter 24: The Old Man

Zhao Hong is actually not that old, but he has been here for a year, and the living conditions are relatively difficult, plus he has not repaired his messy short beard and torn clothes, so he does look old. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While the two were talking, an old man walked in.

The man had no beard, but his eyebrows and hair were gray, his face was ruddy, and he had a childish face.

As soon as Xu Hai saw this person, he immediately stood up. There was some excitement in his tone: "You...... You're here in person. ”

The old man waved his hand: "Don't, I'm an idler now, I'm old, and my body is no longer good." I'm here for one person. ”

As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Hong: "It's him, he is my adopted son, my adopted son, naturally he is also a nobleman." Some time ago, I was disobedient and got into trouble and was arrested by you, I came this time to redeem him, how much money, you say. ”

Ransom people out of prison, this is the law that the Obsidian Empire has had since ancient times, and it is the prerogative of the nobility. But the price of the ransom is not small. The average little nobleman can't imagine that even if he is a big nobleman, he can only afford the ransom for some minor crimes, such as Zhao Hong, cheating in the examination room, that is a serious crime, and if you want to pay the ransom, it is astronomical, if it is not really wealthy, this money is enough to make the average nobleman bankrupt.

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he ransomed people, which shows how rich his property is.

Xu Hai didn't expect that this person not only came in person, but was also willing to go through the normal procedure, first give Zhao Hong a noble status, and then pay a sky-high ransom. In this way, everything has nothing to do with Xu Hai, he just does things according to the law. The future is safe.

However, Xu Hai didn't plan to ask for this money: "You don't have to pay, he was caught cheating in the examination room, and now we know that everything is a misunderstanding, he has the strength of a warrior, and he is 7 times stronger." With such strength, it can be specially recruited, cheating is completely meaningless, everything is a misunderstanding. ”

The old man nodded: "Misunderstanding, that's good, then I'll take this person away, and I won't trouble you." ”

"You walk slowly. ”

Zhao Hong followed the old man, without saying a word, he followed the old man into a suspended car, and looked back at Xu Hai, who was standing in front of the prison gate and watching the two leave, he knew that he had experienced a life and death in silence just now, thanks to the noble rescue, otherwise he would be a dead soul under the knife now.

"How do you feel safe?" the old man asked with a smile.

"This silent place is more terrifying than a battlefield full of blood. In the past, I have always heard that the undead are so terrifying, but now it seems that the human heart is more terrifying than the undead, some people, one moment they are very good to help you, and the next moment, they want your life for some reason, you don't know why. And some people, one moment they are still determined to kill you, and the next moment they sacrifice a lot to save you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hong suddenly remembered a sentence.

"It's hard to draw dragons and tigers, and you don't know your heart. ”

The old man applauded softly: "Incisive, incisive." It is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger with a good sentence, and it is difficult to draw bones, and you don't know the face but not the heart. If you can have such a feeling at a young age, you must have experienced a lot. Hehe, it's hard to pretend to have amnesia, so tell me, who are you?"

Zhao Hong glanced at the old man, and said in his heart: "You just have a wide range of knowledge, and you can't accept my experience, it's not so much useless as saying that you have amnesia, and it's easy and convenient to come." ”

So Zhao Hong smiled bitterly: "I really have amnesia, I don't remember anything." ”

The old man looked at Zhao Hong for a while and seemed to be thinking about something, and then smiled again: "Okay, then amnesia, anyway, I can't find anything, that's no different from amnesia." I just hope it's not just you who have amnesia, and it's not just my intelligence system that has lost its memory. It's better to have the whole world amnesia together. If somebody remembers something one day, you'd better let me know in advance so I can prepare, you know?"

"Hehe, old man, what you said is really profound. ”

"Sometimes, it's better to be a little more esoteric. By the way, I can meet you this time, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, I'm old, and I don't have the strength to fight with the corpse demon anymore, that is, the undead in your mouth, so my interest is to help young people with potential, your situation is more special, how should I help you, wait until I get to my place, and I will talk about it after you have carried out the ultimate awakening. Now, it's too early to say anything. Hey, I'm old, my strength is not good, and if I say a few words, I'll be tired. After saying that, the old man leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

Zhao Hong faintly felt that the old man faintly exuded a sense of danger.

If Zhao Hong makes a sneak attack, the last unlucky person must be Zhao Hong. The strength of this old man is unfathomable.

However, Zhao Hong would not attack the old man at will in order to test his reality, he is not a madman.

After a short time, Zhao Hong was taken to a residential area in the heart of Midtown. The hovercar stopped in front of a house the size of a castle.

Zhao Hong looked at the huge building in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh that in this world, the poor are really poor, and the rich are really rich.

What is the root cause of this gap between rich and poor? Is it human nature? Or is it just pure luck?

"Hehe, the young man looks at you and seems to be thinking about something very esoteric, but I don't have time to think about it for you now, let me introduce it to you. The old man pointed to a middle-aged man who went out to greet him and said, "You can call him Jiao Steward, everything here is taken care of by him, and after a while, you will have to accept the extreme awakening." If you succeed, someone will talk to you about your future path, and if you fail, it doesn't matter, I will arrange for you to follow the team out of the city to live in other cities, but when the time comes, you'd better keep your mouth shut about me. Hey, I'm getting older, and I'm tired after tossing for a while, so I'll go rest first. ”

After that, the old man left without looking back.

Zhao Hong looked at the back of the old man leaving, and asked the Jiao steward beside him: "Jiao steward, I haven't had time to ask his name yet, what is his name?"

Steward Jiao smiled: "Since the master didn't say it, I don't plan to let you know, but if you are good enough, I believe that in the near future, you will know the identity of the master." Now you come with me first, the ritual of extreme awakening is ready. ”

Zhao Hong followed Steward Jiao to a room, and the layout inside was the same as Xu Hai said, presumably this was the room for extreme awakening.

"Sorcery is a very complex thing, and often a small arrangement can play a vital role, and it is these details that determine whether a warlock is powerful or not. We have invited the most powerful warlock to set up the ritual here, and the arrangement here, every detail has been done to the extreme, at least in the current situation, there is no better place to perform extreme awakening than here. Hope you succeed. ”
