209 masters
"What, what? Haven't you ever seen anyone eat a late-night snack?! Hiding the cake behind him, the greasy palm of his hand immediately rubbed all over his clothes, and Vic held his bulging cheeks and glared at him fiercely.
"I've never seen anyone so sneaky with a late-night snack." Du Yuhan glanced at him lightly.
Seeing that the other party did not stop him, Vic continued to gobble up openly.
Bending over and squatting next to the child, Du Yuhan handed over a glass of water, "How is it?" β
"Okay." After taking a big bite of the pancakes, Vic slurred and said, "It would be better to have more minced meat inside." β
"Who asked you this?" Du Yuhan rolled his eyes, "Aren't you still angry?" β
With a cold snort, Vic pushed his head away.
"Dwarf oil, I really don't know what you two have to do with it, who knows if you owe him money and haven't paid it back, so he got rid of the sandbox in a fit of rage to pay off the debt-"
"I owe him money?! Joke! Vic was excited, and the crumbs in his mouth sprayed several feet away, "Since I am a duke, I have never had to worry about food and clothing, so why should I borrow money from others to survive?!" That kind of untouchable poor ghost, it's very good to be able to support yourself, where can I borrow the spare money?! Besides, he used to be poor, why didn't he want to think about who would help him?! β
"I'll just say casually, why are you so serious......" Du Yuhan hurriedly reassured, "You don't want to say it, you can't let others guess, right?" β
"This is a slander against my personality identity, you are trampling on the dignity of the modeler!" Vic blushed with anger and had a thick neck, grabbed the little finger of the biscuit and pointed at the tip of his nose and refuted loudly.
What kind of personality slander, but also the dignity of the modeler......
The half-eaten cake swayed in front of his eyes, and Du Yuhan was suddenly a little speechless, "What's the big deal, what's so angry...... Okay, okay, it's all my fault, don't stare at me. β
Glancing at him, Vic gulped a mouthful of water.
"Since you're not happy, don't mention the things that make you unhappy." Du Yuhan smiled kindly, "Let's talk about lifeββ"
"I'm not full yet." Vic didn't lift his eyes.
"Not full? Come on, eat more, eat more, there's a lot more! Bringing all the big bags in the pot to the other party, Du Yuhan flattered him, "If it's not enough, I'll let Kevin open a small stove for you immediately!" β
With a snort and a mouth full of biscuits, Vic reached out and grabbed a large bun.
"This bun is okay, right?" Du Yuhan sneered.
"It's okay." However, Vic's attitude is still not salty.
"This meat bun tastes better when it's hot, I'll go and heat it up for you." After that, Du Yuhan stood up and was about to make a fire.
"Alright, don't toss." Although he knew that the other party would act like this, but seeing Du Yuhan busy before and after, Vic suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "This bun is very special, it is actually wrapped in meat filling, I never knew there was such a way to eat." β
"What is this?" Hearing the appreciation of others, Du Yuhan proudly straightened his chest, "In my hometown, there are many more delicious foods than this." β
"What's better?" Vic's big eyes were full of anticipation.
When a foodie meets a foodie, it can't be said for three days and three nights.
The two of them sat on the threshold, chattering all over the world. For example, which part of the violent bear is more delicious when boiled than roasted in fire, the meat quality of the thighs and wings of the vermilion bird is compared, and the tripe soup of Qingyan beef is a condiment in Yaojiahe...... After conducting an in-depth study and analysis of the world's species, Du Yuhan found that the original drawer full of buns had been eaten by the two of them.
Du Yuhan: ......
Hey? How can I eat it too?
"I didn't expect the ingredients to be so abundant now." With a loud burp, Vic pushed his sleeve to his mouth, "It's a pity I don't know how to cook, otherwise I'll have to try all the dishes you just said." β
"Can't cook?" Du Yuhan blinked, "Then what did you eat before?" β
In fact, he didn't mean anything else when he asked, just pure curiosity.
In the memories of the sandbox, he remembered that as early as the first day of school, Hill dismissed all the servants in the family and came to the campus alone. With his pampered character, it is absolutely impossible for him to get used to eating in the school cafeteria.
Unexpectedly, Vic was slightly stunned, and his gaze became far-reaching.
Sensing the other party's slight emotional changes, Du Yuhan frowned suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
"It's fine." Quickly retracting his gaze, Vic suddenly noticed that the meat bun in his hand had become tasteless. He leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all at this point, why don't you sleep yet?" β
"If you can't sleep, you can't sleep, so you can care about the empty nesters." Du Yuhan grinned.
"Hmph, who needs you to care." But then again, what is an empty nester? Holding back the confusion in his heart, Vic lazily cut off, "Say, what do you want to know?" β
Now that the other party has already said it, Du Yuhan is no longer polite. I saw him straighten up and whisper, "I want to ask about the sandbox." β
A little surprised by Du Yuhan's positive color, Vic raised his eyebrows, "It's been in your hands for so long, what it does, don't you know very well?" β
"No, I want to know more than that." Staring at each other fixedly, Du Yuhan said word by word.
What exactly is a sandbox?
How is it made?
Are the legendary anti-heaven functions true?
Andβ
What exactly is the purpose of Khared?
As Cared's old friend and nemesis, and the creator of The Sandbox, Vic knows all about these issues. But judging from his attitude a few days ago, he seems to be very taboo about this period of history, and Du Yuhan can only dig out from his mouth little by little.
"You really want to know?" seemed to have already sensed the other party's thoughts, and Vic didn't have much emotional fluctuations, "You must know that in the eyes of everyone, the sandbox is a divine weapon. No matter how strong you are, as long as you get the sandbox, you are destined to become the target of everyone-"
"Wait." The more Du Yuhan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, "I just want to understand, and I don't want to be its master." β
"Don't want to do it?" As if hearing some kind of funny joke, Vic scoffed, "It's your turn to do this kind of thing?" β
"What's wrong with that?" The other party's unwarranted contempt made Du Yuhan a little annoyed, "Even if it is an heirloom artifact, in the final analysis, the sandbox is just a tool. Whoever owns it is its owner. β
Although he said eloquently, when he met Vic's slightly sympathetic gaze, he still felt empty.
Isn't that true?
After appreciating the other party's panic, Vic slowly spoke: "The sandbox has and only one owner, if the user is not the original owner, no matter how high the level and strength are, it will not be able to control it at all." If, as you say, you are not the original owner, then what have you used in the past year? β
With a sigh in his heart, Du Yuhan stammered his defense, "I just borrowed it easily, and I never thought of taking it for myself." Since it's not in my hands now, then-"
"Don't you understand?" Glancing at the other party deeply, Vic ruthlessly shattered his illusions, "Whether you admit it or not, the fact that you are the master of the sandbox cannot be changed. β
Du Yuhan's face turned white.
Master? Is he the owner of the sandbox?
But isn't the owner of the sandbox Hill?
I'm just a passer-by who accidentally picked up a bargain!
The shocking news caused his thoughts to fall into confusion, "But, I didn't do anything at the time, why did I ......"
Like a child who has succeeded in playing a prank, Vic grins with white teeth.
"I'm sure you also know that I carved a blood talisman seal that connects with the soul in it. I don't know how you broke the seal, but the sandbox is now one with your bloodline. If someone wants to take ownership of it, they must either find a way to break the seal or ......"
Vic looked at him with a smile, and that gaze made Du Yuhan creepy.
"In fact, with your current situation, you will act as if you don't know anything, and it is estimated that no one will suspect you, after all, no one else knows anything about the ownership of the sandbox." Vic cocked Erlang's legs leisurely, "But once you know how to use it, it means that you have the ability to control the sandbox. At that time, you are very likely to be in danger, and even your close relatives will be affected, and eventually everyone will rebel and leave. β
As if remembering some unbearable memories, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc, "Even so, do you still want to know?" β
Du Yuhan couldn't help but shudder.
Grass! Who is he provoking to provoke?!
I thought I had picked up a treasure, but who knew that I would cause such a β‘β‘ annoyance!
Du Yuhan is very self-aware, with his own level, he wants to keep the sandbox safely, which is simply whimsical. He just wants to take advantage of the sandbox before it is robbed, and let others fight to the death after that.
In the past few days, he has blamed himself for implicating the innocent Wagner, and he has only wanted to remedy it, but he has ignored the potential dangers. Now that the other party has mentioned it so bluntly, he has found that things seem to be far more simple than he imagined.
The strength of Hill back then was obvious to all, but even so, under the frequent siege of all walks of life, he still ended up in death. Now my current self, the level and status are not half a star worse than Hill, as the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Even if all the disputes were resolved according to his wishes, would the final result really be as good as he imagined?
Forget it if you get into trouble, in case you get Kevin......
Du Yuhan hesitated.
Seeing through the hesitation in the other party's eyes, Vic chuckled, "You should think it through first." β
Seeing that the other party got up and wanted to leave, Du Yuhan hurriedly asked, "Your things were robbed, aren't you angry at all?" β
This is actually what he wonders the most.
Since he met Vic, he has never seen any anger and unwillingness in the other party, but when facing the murderer, he showed a little normal emotional depression and sadness.
This is the creation that he has spent most of his life, but if it were him, a work that took a month to complete was stolen by someone impersonated, and he estimated that he would be furious and slap the other party to death.
But why is Vic so calm?
"Angry? The facts are all in front of you, what is there to be angry about? Vic lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Besides, how many years have you been here, haven't you been angry enough?" β
Du Yuhan swooped a few times, but he couldn't say words of relief.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Just as he was about to reach out and pat the other person on the shoulder, there was a sudden knock on the door in the living room.
It's so late, who could it be?
Full of doubts, Du Yuhan pushed open the door.
A luxurious carriage was parked outside the door, and a young man in uniform stood outside, his expression a little panicked under the light of the oil lamp. The modeler's badge on the left chest appears to be flickering and dimming. Before he could ask a question, the man took the lead in saluting.
"Is it Mr. Du Yuhan?"
"I am."
"The president has an order, please follow me to the guild, and report if you have something urgent."
After saying that, the man turned sideways and opened the car door, signaling Du Yuhan to get into the car immediately.
Emergency? This point? "What is it about?"
Unexpectedly, the man stiffened. He turned around vigilantly to make sure that there was nothing unusual around him, and then lowered his voice and whispered in his ear.
"That thing, there's a clue."
