"Dao?" Holding the parchment, I looked up in confusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well," said his father, "Sakura, maybe Lacey has something to do with your mother's hometown." ”

"So, so you're supporting me—"

"Maybe? From the moment I discovered that word," my father looked away at the unknown distance, "I felt that he and Les might be inextricably linked to you—"

"Mother—"

Her mother's name is Sakura, and she will always be so kind in her memory.

"Mom, from the far East," Mother's words seemed to remain in her ears, "Mom's boat encountered a storm, and it was your dad who saved Mom, and then, Mom fell in love with Mom—"

"Sakura-chan, can you go to the ruins of Roktar?" Grandpa Saint-Walf's words interrupted my recollection, "Although Xiao Xi found this word there, I think there must be something hidden there. Ask the Orientals - oh, I forgot to mention that every four years a trade convoy from the East arrives at the port of Kesir City, and the opinion of the Orientals is necessary if the secrets of Little Lacey are to be found - but there is still too little evidence of a connection between Little Lacey and the Orientals on the basis of a single word-"

"I'll go!" Before he could finish, I replied, "I don't care about Lacey's secret, I want to know more about how to get Lacey out of that, that-"

I don't want Lacey to die early like his ancestors did.

Even if it's just the possibility of grandpa's analysis-

"Well, I know you're going to say that," Grandpa smiled and pulled out a clear ornament, "I wanted to ask that bastard to accompany you, but his personality is really not very good—let's call Asa with you, Great Water of Life...... Awaken! ”

After saying what seemed to be a spell, the ornament in Grandpa's hand emitted a hazy blue light, and then turned into water droplets and dripped on the ground.

"This is a hair technique invented by Asa?" Father asked.

"Well, this guy is a genius at the invention of spells," Grandpa nodded, "This teleportation magic was also invented by him, and as soon as the droplets on my hands disappear, the same droplets on his body will disappear as well, so he will know that I am calling him, but only if he notices." ”

"It's amazing, only wind magic used to have the ability to transmit information over long distances," my father praised, "and he was able to do something similar with water magic—a genius indeed!" ”

"That's the only way I can admit him—ah! He's coming. ”

Rumble!

It was as if a boulder had hit the roof, and the whole house shook, and then something rolled off the roof with a thudding sound.

What's wrong? I got up in a hurry—

"Asa, this boy—" Grandpa walked to the door with some exasperation, "go out and I'll introduce you." ”

We followed Grandpa out of the house.

I saw a gray-clothed boy about ten * years old sitting in front of the door. There's some crushed ice around - he must be Asa, right?

Seeing us go out, he got up and complained, "Old man, why did you set up such a strong barrier? ”

Grandpa unceremoniously tapped his head with his cane, "How many times have I told you?" What is the principle of Luna? Say! ”

“……”

He didn't answer, just rubbed his head and stared at me blankly.

What's wrong?

"Hey, boy," the father knocked on his head as well, "your master asks you." ”

Maybe my father used a lot of force, right? He was knocked back two steps, but hurried closer, and then grabbed my hand sharply, "Wow! Miss, you are so pretty! Where are you from? What is your name? Can you marry me? My life is yours! "As he spoke, he touched my hand!

"You!" I panicked and tried to pull my hand.

"Hey!" Grandpa slammed him, "What are you touching?" Master, I haven't touched it yet, when will it be your turn? ”

"Hey, old man! Is enough enough? He resisted and punched his grandfather, "You're almost in the coffin, does a girl mean anything to you?" ”

"Who says it doesn't make sense? Girls are my source of strength! "Grandpa's movements were so agile that he didn't look like an old man who had lived for more than half a century, and immediately raised his cane after flashing that punch.

"It's the *source, isn't it? You're too old and dry, I'll do the rest for you, and you'll go into the coffin honestly—wow! Before Asa could finish his sentence, he screamed and fell to the ground as he was crushed by his grandfather's magic.

“……”

My father and I looked at each other and sighed together.

Alas, what kind of teacher there is, what kind of apprentice.

However, listening to what I just said, it seems that this Asa is the second choice, so the bastard with a bad personality that my grandfather said before is-

Oh, my God! I dare not imagine.

"Hurry up and memorize the principle of getting the way out!" Grandpa smiled cruelly, "I'm so happy to break my stupid bones~"

"Dead old man! Ah~ Stop, stop, I said, I said! ”

However, Grandpa did not stop.

"Uh, Luna is a mid-range teleportation magic that belongs to the wind system - whoa! As long as you remember the target location, you can start teleporting, and the biggest difference between teleportation and the dimensional magic used by demons is that it is actually a high-speed flying magic between two places, and you can't encounter obstacles on the way - okay! I'm done, let go of the dead old man!! ”

"No, this is a punishment for the opportunity you just took the opportunity to destroy my house!" The light on the tip of Grandpa's cane was brighter.

"No, no! I just set a goal for the room, yes, but I just want to meet my dear Master soon~Wow~"

"Promise not to rob Sakura from me, and I'll let you go."

"Grandpa......" I feel a headache.

"Who is Sakura-chan? Ah, is that the name of this beauty? So your name is Sakura, and it's a good name. ”

"Alas," said the grandfather, putting away his cane, "my apprentice is not of good character, and it makes you laugh." ”

"Please don't salivate while apologizing, leaning into my daughter, okay?" My father kicked my grandfather, who was about to make a move on me.

Grandpa staggered to his feet, muttering, "There won't be a piece of meat missing."

"Alas, this pair of masters and apprentices ......" the father sighed helplessly, "Sakura, let's go by ourselves!" ”

"You'll be out of time," reminded Grandpa with a wicked grin, "and the Royal Trading Ship to Cassir is still a month away—you must find the clues before then." ”

"So that's why you called me~" Asa rubbed his tender arm and looked at his grandfather appreciatively, "Well done!" Old man! ”

The father frowned and looked at them with annoyance: "- Do you think I will let this boy fly away with my daughter in his arms?" ”

"Father, don't worry, I'll hold me gently—" Asa watched as my gaze gradually shifted downward.

It's the same sight as that stinky grandpa.

I hurriedly ducked behind my father.

"Haha, since you don't want to, then I have to go out and hug it myself!"

"No way!" I shouted with my father.

"Well, I guessed it would be like this," said Grandpa, looking at Assa, "stupid apprentice, let that old-fashioned father and daughter see your invention!" ”

"Good!" Asa took a deep breath, first pressed his right hand to his forehead in a contemplative motion, and then shook it away violently, "O great water spirit~ please listen to my love - wow! Why are you knocking me again? Stinky old man! ”

"I asked you to perform inventions, but I didn't ask you to perform all the handsome things in front of you!"

Belch! Those actions just now, are they just to be handsome?

"Okay, okay, if Miss Sakura doesn't fall in love with me because of this, I'll settle accounts with you!" Asa rubbed his head and waved his hand, "No matter, come out, Ice Prism!" ”

Instantly, a giant block of ice appeared and enveloped him and his grandfather.

It's amazing!

"Although I don't want to admire, this kid's magic is really amazing." "It's so well directed," said his father, "and the ice cubes are perfect—they don't even chant incantations." ”

Yes, such a big block of ice - wait, why do I think Grandpa St. Wolf and Asa in the ice are getting wider and wider? Could it be that

"Don't worry," my father pressed me to help, "hold these two idiots first!" ”

"Father—" I looked up at my father, "is that really good?" ”

"With their abilities, it's okay to be bored for three or four minutes." The father stepped forward and knocked on the ice, and smiled at the grandfather inside, "It's hard, isn't it—your apprentice is amazing!" ”

Grandpa and Asa's faces began to turn red - it must be hard to breathe in air, right? I saw the two of them looking at their father pleadingly.

"Hey, stinky old man, do you want me to save you?" Father raised his sword against the ice.

Grandpa and Asa's eyes blinked hurriedly.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? Isn't it needed? Oh~ It looks like I'm having a lot of trouble! With that, my father put the sword back into its scabbard.

The two pairs of eyes widened.

"Father......" Looking at my father's almost child's play, I didn't know what to say - should I go and save them?

"Oh, my face is starting to turn purple," said my father, smiling even more happily as he looked at the poor two in the ice.

He must have enjoyed Grandpa and Asa's bad luck - and honestly, if it weren't for their imminent suffocation, I'd be happy.

And so it was after a while.

"Well, forget it, I'll save you, right? I'm so kind," the father shook his head and drew his sword, "I'll be in trouble if the Great Sage dies like this." ”

…… Father, is it necessary for you to draw your sword so slowly?

Grandpa and Asa are already rolling their eyes.

"Whew," the father took a stance and deliberately took a breath very slowly, "Moonlight Sword * Shock!" ”

So fast! All I could see was the remnant of the sword inserted into the ice, and then the ice exploded.

The Moonlight Sword is to use the shockwave of the swing of the sword to achieve the effect of ignoring the opponent's defense, and "shock" is to make the concentrated shockwave diverge to produce a shock, which Lacey and I have learned, and it is one of my father's three proudest sword skills, but to be able to only shatter the ice and not hurt the people inside - it's so difficult, I shook my head.

The two who were finally rescued lay on the ground and gasped for breath.

"You ......" Grandpa pointed to his father, panting and unable to speak.

"Phew, hoo, almost dead - it's all your dead old man's interference, if I had done the usual thing, I wouldn't have left a room in it," Asa complained to his grandfather.

"Asa," ignoring Asa's complaints, Grandpa staggered to his feet, his face solemn.

Asa couldn't help but be quiet, and turned his face to look at us in Grandpa's gaze.

I saw my grandfather slowly raise his cane, "Take Sakura to the ruins of Roktar...... Barrier of Light - Flash! ”

"Not good! Sakura, don't look! Father shouted.

However, before my father could finish speaking, my grandfather's cane already emitted a dazzling bright light, which robbed me of my vision and caused me a wave of vertigo. I reflexively covered my eyes with my hands—

Suddenly someone grabbed the hand.

Then Asa's shout was heard, "Luna!" "I was taken into the air.

"Hieroni, you stinky boy, I'm going to educate you well today!" At the same time, Grandpa's angry voice came from the ground.

"You're a great sage, is it worth being angry about such a little thing?"

“……”

Forget it, leave them alone.

I gradually regained my vision, looked up and saw Asa looking at me strangely.

"Huh?"

"Are you not afraid to be taken to heaven?" He said disappointedly, "I still expect you to hold me in a panic." ”

"I've flown a few times before," I replied, "-- are we going to the ruins?" ”

"Well, you're for that Serrestine, right?"

“？ You know? ”

"Well, that stinky old man and I have been to see it many times."

"Yes."

They've been there many times, but what can I find this time?

"I'm going to fly for a while—the Spirit of Water...... Ice prism! ”

Another ice cube appeared and enveloped me and him.

This time it's hollow, and the space isn't very big, but the two of us aren't very crowded in it.

And through the transparent ice, you can see the surrounding scenery unobstructed.

"Take a break, take a break," Asa let go of my hand and rolled over to sit on the ice.

I sat down like him, "You invented this?" That's amazing! ”

"Hehe, it's not me bragging, I've invented a lot of practical magic, and this one is my favorite." Asa looked very proud.

"Is this ice cube for travel? It's really practical~ You can fly and watch the scenery with peace of mind - you don't have to worry about being blown by the wind on the way. ”

"Well, and a lot of girls are scared to death the first time they go to heaven, so I invented this, and two people sit in it, looking at the beautiful scenery, and then - hey, hey, why are you pulling out your sword?"

"I'm sorry, but suddenly I feel like you're in danger - what are you trying to do when you're close to me?" Looking at his lustful appearance, I really couldn't take it easy.

"If you kill me, you'll fall to your death!"

"......" I didn't answer, just continued to look at him vigilantly.

Asa scratched his head and gave up: "Forget it, there are still a lot of beautiful women I haven't seen, it's a pity to die now." ”

“…… Don't you have any serious ideas? "I felt a little helpless.

"Haven't finished showing my heroic handsome side in front of beautiful women?"

“……”

"Haven't built your own ** yet?"

“…… I won't ask - can you not look at me like that? It's disgusting! ”

"But that stinky old man said that a man who doesn't show ** when he sees a beautiful woman is the biggest disrespect to her!"

"--Would you please look elsewhere?" I sighed helplessly.

"Hey—" Asa looked away obediently, "hasn't that Thresteen ever looked at you like that?" ”

"Lacey? He's always been polite, very gentlemanly—"

"Then he must not have you in his heart - he doesn't even have a ** for you at all."

"Yes," I curled up with my hands on my knees, "he has only had Xiao Di in his heart—"

I know.

Les has been obsessed with it for several years.

Only Ogi.

All his efforts are for Xiao Di.

I'm just his sister.

I'm just his older sister...... Nothing more.

When I think about it, I feel so uncomfortable.

"Alas, I really envy that damn Lacey, don't let such a good beauty go." Seeing that I was silent, Asa muttered to himself.

"No, no, I'm his sister—"

"Are you lying to me or yourself?" Asa turned his face, "You like him, anyone can see it." ”

“……”

"But, well—" Asa scratched his head, "I heard that the master said that he has been protecting you, and he has saved you desperately on the battlefield a few times, right?" ――I'm also a man, and if a man doesn't care about a girl, he won't do anything for her. ”

"But he just thinks of me as a ......"

"Sister, is she? Then work hard to fight for it, as long as he has you in his heart and is willing to work hard for you, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take away his heart? Asa sighed, "You're really in a much better situation than her." ”

"She?"

"Oh-nothing, nothing, huh? What's that? Asa suddenly pointed behind me and shouted in panic, "I'm going to bump into—"

I hurriedly turned my face - just before I could see a white light in front of me crashing straight into us.

Then there was a loud roar and impact, and we were wrapped in white light along with the shattered ice prism and fell to the ground.

Asa hurriedly hugged me: "Fly! Fly! How do you pronounce the Flying Mantra? - Wow! It's too late~ Shield! Shields! Shields! ”

“……”

“…… I won't! ”

“！”
