Chapter 81: The Choice of Father and Son
Neo looked at Karen's back and said to Roninunu: "The black light is blind, don't you catch up with her and send her all the way?"
"My puppet is gone!" Luo Ning smiled self-deprecatingly: "I really didn't expect Karen's self-esteem to be so strong, I was negligent!"
Neo hugged him by the shoulder, smiled and said with relief: "It's not your fault! Of course, it is difficult for a noble young master like you to understand the thoughts of our poor children. Many times we are not afraid of living a hard life, we are afraid of being pitied and looked down upon by others. ”
Luo Ning smiled and pushed Neo away: "Fart, aristocratic little master! Now that we have lost our identities, you are the little young master, right!"
At this time, a white shadow flashed, and the head of the ancient tomb came to the two of them with a pile of papers, "Master, I... That's all I recovered!"
Luo Ning looked intently, only to see that she was holding half of a torn magic book in her arms, and the regret and self-blame on her face could be vaguely seen through the white veil.
"Huh—— there's finally something that makes me happy!You take these classics, anyway, they're a pile of waste paper, and they're useless!Haha, the thought of you being hunted down for most of the night and you haven't reaped the benefits makes Lao Tzu's heart feel so happy!" Neo gloated and laughed, making Ronin want to take back the spar card he had given him.
But one thing Neo is right: the pursuit of the Reinhardt family is indeed a big problem. If he hadn't picked up Karen's wand tonight, and he happened to think of Lena's wand before, and accidentally sealed an ancient magic in his wand, I'm afraid he could only hope that the tomb master would explode! Tonight's danger has passed, but what about next time?
Luo Ning was worried about himself, when a vigorous young male voice suddenly sounded from behind a group of armored war bears: "Who said that Mr. Campbell didn't get the benefits? Didn't I send him the benefits tonight?"
"Who?" Neo shouted unhappily when he heard someone raise the bar with him. He looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a pure white horse without a trace of variegated hair sprang out from the group of ironclad bears beside him, and immediately sat a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume. The man had neat gray hair combed back to his head, a thin face, narrow eyes, and a large hooked nose in the center, which occupied more than half of his face. The two gray-clothed attendants silently followed behind the man, exuding a faint murderous aura on their bodies.
Neo followed Marshal Gaiman, and was already familiar with the young nobles. When he saw the coming, he exclaimed, "Danny Hawk?!"
The young man dismounted, handed the reins to his retinue, took off his gloves and touched his chest, bowed, and said, "Yes, it is Danny Hawke, son of Wayne Hawke, grandson of Raven Jean Hawke, and successor of the Hawke family!"
"Why is it the Hawke family again? Wait, Danny Hawke? You were the last time I sent a killer to harass me in Maplewood, right?"
Danny Hawke fully demonstrates the importance of parenting for the children of a large family. In the face of Luo Ning's questioning, he smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed the case." I made a big mistake in Maple Grove Town that time, and I lost a few years of living expenses!"
"I really deserve it!" Luo Ning thought secretly, feeling a lot more comfortable.
Danny Hawke continued, "But there's an old saying in the island: 'If you don't fight, you don't know each other!' Ever since that time I've admired Mr. Campbell and wanted to make friends with a hero like you. ”
Luo Ning said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, I don't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Hawke family!"
Little Hawk was unmoved, and said with a smile: "I have been misled into doing something wrong, and my stupid cousin has also been provoked to offend your friend, and it is normal for you to be angry. But no matter how hostile you are to me, this gift is innocent!I swear in the name of my family, this gift is definitely what you need most at this time!" With that, he stretched out his right hand, and the attendant next to him immediately handed over a flat purple wooden box.
"I hate a cheeky guy like you the most!!" Luo Ning thought indignantly, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the wooden box.
"Forget it, it's better to do it according to the old rules! I'll lick the icing off the outside first, and then return the shells inside as they are when needed!"
Under Danny Hawke's astonished gaze, Ronin opened the wooden box to find a translucent leather mask lying inside. The cheeks and forehead of the mask are densely covered with magical spells, exuding a vague and non-existent fluctuation of magical power, and it looks like there is a sense of mystery.
Luo Ning was curious and wanted to reach out to get it, but was stopped by Danny: "Wait a minute, Brother Luo Ning!"
Danny smiled confidently, his already narrow eyes narrowed into two slits: "To prove my sincerity, please be sure to find someone knowledgeable and ask about its magical effect before wearing it." I'm sure you'll feel my sincerity!"
"So mysterious?" Ronin thought of Raphael, and he must ask him when he goes back.
Danny was overjoyed to see him take off his guard little by little, but his face was straight and said, "Before saying goodbye, there is one more thing I must make clear." I don't share Prince Logan's philosophy, nor do I owe as much allegiance to him as my father did. So since the Maple Grove incident, I have decided to choose the path I want again, even if it will break with my family because of it!"
"Swearing is like a fart, I believe you are a ghost, you are a rebellious young man!"
Ronin was full of insults at Danny's words, but he didn't know that everything in Danny Hawke's mouth was false. At the same time that Danny told Ronin about his future choice, his father, Earl Wayne Hawke, was standing at the door of the Reinhardt guest room, trotting excitedly towards the owner.
"Haha, Wayne! it's you!" exclaimed Old Reinhardt in a low voice, and then he also left his seat with a smile, trotted out his arms to meet the hug of his old friend, and happily patted the other man's back and let out a hearty laugh. The dark clouds that had been squeezing in his heart for days seemed to dissipate.
"Long time no see, my old fellow!" said Earl Hawke, glancing at the plate of apples in the house, and laughing, "Remember, old man, when the apple trees in the village bore fruit, we would climb up to the trees together to pick apples and eat them." ”
Old Reinhardt walked to the table with a smile, picked up an apple and threw it over: "Catch, haha!"
He picked up an apple, took a bite, and recalled, "yes." We weren't satisfied with just eating, so I picked all the fruits from the tree and sold them to the people in the neighboring villages, but I didn't expect to make a lot of silver coins in the end!"
Earl Hawke swallowed the apple: "Of course you will make money, that is the idea of your investment genius! You can always make the most correct choice since you were a child, I have never seen you make a loss-making transaction!"
Old Reinhardt's face changed when he heard this: "Earl Hawke, I warned you when you defected to Logan fifteen years ago, don't try to attack my Reinhardt family's idea! I will neither defect to Queen Erin, nor will I be Prince Logan's lackey!"
Earl Hawke was not surprised by his old friend's reaction, and he was also well aware of his weakness: "I just saw your henchman running out with a sad face. Why, didn't the killers you sent out take down the enemies who hurt Randy?"
"You!" old Reinhardt was about to ask, "how do you know?" and laughed self-deprecatingly. Earl Hawke knew him well, how could he not know the details of the other party? I am afraid that this matter has been in the hands of Prince Logan from beginning to end. It's just that he deliberately dragged himself into the water and kept it hidden. And he was really furious about tonight. So many killers were sent out, but not only did they fail to kill each other, but they received a warning note from Luo Ning.
Earl Hawke smiled meaningfully and played the most important card: "Then if I tell you... The stinky boy who turned Randy into waste is Princess Lena's henchman!Tell me, my old fellow, do you choose to join us in avenging Randy, or do you want to let him go unpunished under Princess Lena's protection?"
Old Reinhardt stayed in the house, like a dead tree on the edge of a lonely cliff. In that moment, many thoughts crossed his mind, considering all sorts of consequences. But in the end, it was all swallowed up by impulsive anger, and turned into a hoarse voice: "I join!"
