Chapter 37: Asking for an Explanation
Herod~
The loud neighing of horses wafted in the night wind.
Leaning forward slightly, as if the gentleman who was about to burst out in the next second stopped his movements, his body did not move, he just turned his head, and his cold gaze locked on the direction from which the sound came.
"I have a little donkey, I never ride it~"
"One day on a whim, I rode it to catch the market~"
......
A nursery rhyme that someone didn't feel ashamed of at all came slowly, and then Zhu Jue, who was riding a horse with a long sword at his waist, came to this side.
He saw clearly what happened at the door on the beam on the second floor, the gentleman's action just now was obviously preparing to do it, Zhu Jue had the heart to save the great elder, and it was not good to jump out directly, after all, strictly speaking, he and the gentleman were a team, and the way to go home was still in his hands, Zhu Jue was not ready to stay in the dream realm for a lifetime.
Therefore, Zhu Jue chose to help in another way after a short period of thought.
The gentleman frowned involuntarily at the appearance of the uninvited guest, who had chosen to come at night rather than at dusk in order to conceal his eyes, and if the matter of the Codex Nakert was exposed, he would be left with a handle unless he killed both.
The gentleman thinks that it is not difficult to defeat Zhu Jue, the key is that he cannot guarantee to kill on the spot, not to mention that there is a target next to him that he must stay, and the result of a strong move in this case is likely to be a dilemma.
After all, Attar was able to be a great elder here, taking care of this special church, not just because of his age.
"Great Elder Attar, you should also see my sincerity, I will come again in two days, I hope you can keep your promise, even if it is a copy. ”
In the end, the gentleman gave up the idea of doing it, what he wanted was too important, and any accident he wanted to avoid.
However, before his voice fell, a sonorous sound sounded beside him.
If he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that Zhu Jue doesn't do it!
"Gentleman, since you are also here, let's go up together and kill this old fellow, there must be treasures in this tower. ”
Zhu Jue, who was half-crouching on horseback, had already jumped in the air at this time, holding the long sword he had just snatched from the Dream Eater, and headed straight for Attar.
Clang~
The clash of steel, crisp and loud.
"Grand Elder Atar is my friend, put away your weapon, and don't blame me for doing it to you!"
One second he was still thinking about how to force the Great Elder of Attar to say the Codex of Nakert before he was killed, and the next second he became the protector of the Great Elder of Attar, and the gentleman's face was gloomy as if he had eaten a fly......
It's just that he can't help it at this time, if Zhu Jue is allowed to kill the old man behind him, then the bamboo basket will be empty.
"Hey, you don't want to eat alone, do you. ”
Zhu Jue took a step forward a little impatiently, and while increasing the force in his hand, he secretly controlled the strength to ensure that it did not exceed the capacity of a gentleman, and made a look of reluctance to support, and then said in a low voice,
"The prayer ticket I got from the wild boar points to this place, there must be a treasure in it, the boar's last wish, I have to help him fulfill it!"
Sound action.
The gentleman had heard about the prayer voucher from the wild boar, and it was not surprising that Zhu Jue found this place.
"I repeat, there are no treasures in this tower, Grand Elder Attar is an old friend of mine, if you dare to do anything to him, you are ready to stay in the Dream Realm forever!"
At this time, the gentleman, who was quite annoyed, also spoke with anger, and there was a vague momentum surging on his body.
"Hey, I didn't expect him to be so important to you...... Okay, you're the captain, you have the final say. ”
Looking around the gentleman, on the old man behind him who was squeezing his eyebrows this way, he smirked and withdrew his weapon, turned around and walked a few steps before turning back and saying,
"When you think he's not your friend anymore, remember to tell me. ”
"The first time you came to the dream realm, you dared to do it with me, and it seems that you have to beat me more. ”
Looking at the back of Zhu Jue riding away, the gentleman pinched his cane, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes.
Boom~
The sound of the tower's doors closing came from behind him.
The gentleman glanced at the tower, but after all, he still didn't choose to do it again,
He still has a lot of time, and he will do it when Zhu Jue is likely not to leave completely, and he also understands the truth behind the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch.
Descending the cobblestone path, the ivy-covered towers return to tranquility.
Half an hour later, Zhu Jue's figure appeared on the old oak tree outside the tower, and jumped directly into the second-floor window after following the branches a few times.
Not surprisingly, the candles in the hall on the first floor are still lit.
"That's enough for me. ”
Zhu Jue took back the water cup soaked in gems from behind the pillar, and the wind chime probed over to drink, but he carried the meat on the back of his neck and put it in his arms.
Seeing this scene, Attar's expression froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"The guy who was going to you just now is my captain, and I offended him for you, and I regret it now that I think about it...... What happened between you and him?"
The whole person sat back on the bench and said,
"Hehe, I lied to him that I had a treasure, and then asked him to send me something for three months, and now the young man just can't hold his breath, and he wants to snatch it directly so soon, I'm afraid he won't give it to me in the future." ”
Attar shook his head and opened the bag containing the moonshine and pumpkin pie, sighing.
"I think you should be able to see that the next time he comes to you to ask for your life, you still have room to worry about this?"
Grabbing a piece of pumpkin pie and stuffing it into his mouth, Zhu Jue looked at Attar whose expression was still not flustered, and his eyes were incomprehensible.
"Isn't it you, you're not going to let him kill me, are you?"
Attar said casually, raising his hand to get the pumpkin pie, but halfway through it, he was forcibly clasped by Zhu Jue's wrist.
"Yes, I won't let him kill you, but have you ever thought that I'm not a good person when I hang out with gentlemen...... The consequences of playing me are worse than playing that guy just now!"
At this moment, Zhu Jue's face still had the previous relaxed look, but it was full of vigilance and anger.
Zhu Jue saw everything that had just happened, and Sir Nelson that Attar spoke of was obviously a gentleman's title in this world, and the latter said that Attar was his old friend.
Regardless of the relationship between the two, there is no doubt that they have known each other for a long time, and from the behavior of Attar who asked Zhu Jue to hide without looking at who was outside when the black cat first called, it can be inferred that Attar knew that the gentleman would come to him tonight!
However, he still chose to keep Zhu Jue when they met for the first time in the evening.
Why?
"That black cat was arranged by you, right, deliberately let me stay, in order for me to help you resist the gentleman?
Although Zhu Jue didn't quite understand what Attar relied on to do it, he still sensed that something was wrong.
Hold on to your sword.
He was going to ask for an explanation for himself.
