Chapter 15: Cassie's Journal
"Alright, Jerry," Bugu grimaced, "I'll leave this to me—" He hadn't finished yet.
Jerry interrupted him, "I heard everything you said last night. ”
"I know, Jerry, you're hiding there eavesdropping."
Not surprised at all, he sat up, coughed lowly, and continued to push the cut cake to Jerry.
"Let's eat cake first, it's your birthday," Bugu said with a smile, "Cassie's child, you must be happy." ”
He pushed the cake in front of Jerry and sat there motionless.
"If you feel sad today, I must not have done a good enough." Noya fell into self-blame.
"No, no, I'm not trying to accuse you." Jerry explained.
"I know, I'm so excited." Bugu said, took out a handkerchief and rubbed a handful of snot.
Jerry saw his face full of vicissitudes, and at this time an indescribable guilt and sadness appeared.
"No-" Jerry hesitated, "why are you so nice to me?" ”
"I still don't know anything about you." Jerry asked, and he began to sigh, "I'm so big, it's the first time someone has said happy birthday to me." Somehow, he was incoherent.
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much." Don't remind heavily.
Suddenly, Jerry began to feel a lot of estrangement between him and Bugu.
- They don't trust each other that much.
"Nogu, what kind of person is my father?" Jerry couldn't help but ask.
"Your father was a very brave and upright man. He's a natural magic warrior," Bugu paused, "Jerry, I can assure you. ”
"Yes, he doesn't want me to be a coward." Jerry said.
"yes, there's no doubt about that." A hint of surprise flashed in Bugu's eyes.
"What did my father think of black magic?" Jerry wondered.
"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to learn the dark arts like Brad."
Bugu frowned, was silent for a while, and his expression became serious little by little.
Jerry understands that as soon as he mentions black magic, Bugu is like a different person.
After a while, Bugu sighed softly, with a kind of helplessness in his tone.
He said to Jerry, "Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing for you. ”
"You've been emphasizing this, no valley." Jerry was depressed.
"I'd rather know more, even you said, I should be as brave as my father."
"What do you want to say?" Fugu stood up and looked at Jerry, his eyes showing more surprise than before.
Jerry also slowly stood up and looked at Bugu seriously, he was very excited.
It was as if a large balloon was about to explode in his body!
Jerry had a lot of questions in his mind, and he wanted to get it clear at once.
For example-
Where did you get the money to buy the Overlord Wand 8000?
Does the theft of the Phantom Pavilion have anything to do with Bugu?
Who did it in the wealth of memories Cassie left him?
What if those guys from the Elven Department did it? And by whom?
So many questions have been haunting Jerry's heart, making his brain hurt.
His words came to his lips and eventually became: "I wonder where Brad is?" ”
"Jerry, your brain isn't broken, is it?" Fugu was very surprised, he hurriedly walked over and touched Jerry's forehead.
"Perhaps." Jerry said uncomfortably.
"Why did you ask about Brad's whereabouts?" Nogu was a little worried.
"No, no, Jerry, I kind of regret telling you about Brad now." Noya sat down.
"I've been hiding you in the orphanage just to keep those people from finding you." Bugu muttered.
Noya looked nervous, as if as soon as Jerry asked about Brad's whereabouts, something would happen immediately.
"I just want to know where he is?" Jerry explained.
"If you're trying to avenge your father, I think you're crazy!" Buya said loudly.
"You don't have the ability to go to him for revenge now, he's sending people everywhere to find you."
"His purpose—" Buya said nervously, "his purpose is to kill you." ”
"Mrs. Si Ming got the news, those people started to act, they are trying every possible way to find an opportunity to kill you, you still want to send you to death?!"
"As soon as you get to school, no, as soon as you go out, just go to the bathroom. No, just go for a walk and buy a bread stick...... In short, you're in a lot of trouble. ”
Jerry sat quietly, not saying a word.
"Anyway—" Bugu pressed his hands on his shoulders, "you're very, very dangerous right now!" ”
"As long as you make the slightest move, it will get the attention of those people."
"Do you mean Brad, or the Ulings?" Jerry looked at him.
"Jerry, I have to tell you, you know too much, it won't do you any good, you can only do what I say," Bugu's tone began to worsen, "I won't hurt you." ”
After Fugu finished speaking, he removed his hand from Jerry's shoulder, turned over, and sighed.
"I'm protecting you by doing this." Bugu's shoulders were shaking, and he was really excited.
"If this has something to do with Brad, there's probably a chance Brad has come to Magic Marketplace, isn't it?" Jerry asked suddenly.
"Jerry!" Bugu was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned to face him, "Who told you this?" "Bugu was very surprised.
"Nobody told me, I guessed for myself."
"How did you know Brad was in Magic Marketplace?"
Jerry couldn't answer his guess right away, and he noticed that his hands were shaking.
For Jerry, tonight's conversation was a very serious one, and he even trembled with his breath.
It is as if a mysterious and frightening truth is about to be revealed.
Until he saw that the expression on Lao Bugu's face had changed many times, each time it became heavier and heavier, and at this moment it completely became a worry.
- A complicated expression of concern for him.
"Today I heard two magicians on the street say that the contents of the Phantom Pavilion memory cabinet were almost stolen."
Jerry paused, "If that kind of secure and secret underground bank could be stolen, I really doubt what those elves said before." ”
"Coincidentally, I think the same thing as you." Fugu said.
"Do you think there's a ghost inside the elves?"
"Jerry, that's not called a little ghost, that's called an inner ghost."
"I suspect they have ghosts, even—" Jerry speculated, "I suspect they secretly opened my father's memory cabinet." ”
"So—who do you think would have done it?" Fuya asked.
"I don't know, maybe the biggest suspect is Brad." Jerry thought for a moment and said casually.
"Maybe he colluded with the guys from the [Elven Ministry] and secretly smashed open the memory cabinet, or—" Jerry's words were not finished.
Bugu immediately interrupted him: "No, no, you have to understand that the memory cabinet is not so easy to smash open. ”
"Even if you take a hook, use a fork, or a sharp sword to cut it, or even blow it up with gunpowder, you will never be able to open it easily, let alone make no movement at all."
"You mean, they opened it with a password?" Jerry thought it was incredible.
"But the password—" Jerry wondered even more.
"Yes, no one but me knows the password to Cassie's memory cabinet." Fugu said.
Jerry hesitated, and he started thinking about something, some nonsense.
Their conversation was all listened to by Zhang Wuwei, Zhang Wuwei seemed extremely excited, and he became interested in this Brad.
He excitedly reminded Jerry, "What a chance, you should break the casserole and ask Bugu about Brad." ”
This time, Jerry couldn't make up his mind, thinking that things would never turn out to be more difficult for him to choose.
If he asks how Fuya got his father's password so abruptly, he is doubting Fuya's loyalty to Cassie.
Jerry struggled to think:
The fact that Lao Bugu knew the password of my father's memory cabinet meant that my father trusted him enough.
Why am I still rocking? To pursue so much?
How could I have such an idea? Will you doubt Lao Bugu?
- If he had bad intentions against me, why would he give me 8,000 Overlord Wands?
Bugu even remembers my birthday clearly.
I should trust him unconditionally.
"It's easy to guess, isn't it?" Zhang Wuwei suddenly laughed, he was extremely interested in this kind of thing, and he deliberately teased Jerry: "Don't forget, bad guys can also be hidden very well, just like Brad." ”
When Jerry heard him say this, he was annoyed: Bugu can't be a bad person! He's not the same as Bled!
"What is he trying to do so well to you?" Zhang Wuwei said: "Didn't you hear their conversation last night? He didn't stop you from coming to [Magic Market Town] and let you take the [Talent Test], which means that your whereabouts were announced to everyone, and it will be easier for Brad to find you. ”
Zhang Wuwei didn't make sense.
Jerry's hands were shaking, and questions kept swirling in his head.
He really didn't know how to get out of this dilemma.
To ask or not to ask? At this moment, his mood was like he was desperate.
"Ask him how he got the password to the memory cabinet." Zhang Wuwei reminded.
"Enough!" Jerry shouted.
His sudden call made Bugu look at him in surprise.
"How did you know the password to the memory cabinet?" Jerry asked anyway.
"Jerry, I know there are some things you don't know—" Bugu explained.
"I mean, there's a lot of stuff in here that can't be explained right away." Not valley supplements.
"I'm just trying to figure out how you managed to get the password to the memory cabinet." Jerry also explained.
What's ridiculous is that they are explaining to each other, but no one directly pierces the problem, and Zhang Wuwei is a little anxious.
"No, sometimes, I'm really afraid you'll do something." Jerry urged.
As soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it.
Some pain appeared on Fuya's originally calm face, and he also sensed that Jerry was suspicious of him.
"Are you suspicious of me?" Fuya said angrily, "You think I did it to Cassie's memory cabinet. ”
Jerry was even more surprised - he always saw his thoughts at the critical moment.
"Jerry—" Bugu paused, walking impatiently up and down the room, "if you thought so, you would have died more than a hundred times." ”
"No valley - no valley!" Jerry yelled to try to convince him, "I didn't mean that! ”
"No valley - no valley!" He thought that Bugu rushed to the attic because he was angry with him.
Until I saw Buya rushing down from the attic and putting a heavy notebook on the table.
"Check it out!" Fuya motioned to him.
"What is this?" Jerry was surprised.
"Cassie's Journal!" Fuya sat down.
"Monday, night, shooting star—" Jerry flipped through his diary.
Saw a text:
"I just said goodbye to Sea, and before parting, I kissed her on the cheek. I love her so much that I can't bear to give up Sea. We watched the shooting stars together on the lighthouse, and talked about our unborn child, and I told her that whether it was a boy or a girl, we would name him (her) Jerry, and I hoped that my child would grow up to be a very outstanding magician, and carry forward the belief in [Golden Magic] on my behalf, which was also my first wish. ”
Jerry's trembling hand continued to roll down.
"Wednesday, gloomy, apprehensive—" Jerry watched quietly.
"The road to [Elven Valley] is really not easy, and several strange things happened along the way. Empas left for a while with a stomachache, and I knew that I shouldn't have doubted him at this time, and without Empas's help, I would have had a very hard time. During the night, we pitched our tents in the wilderness, and when the rain we waited for did not come, in the middle of the night we attracted a pack of wild wolves, and unfortunately, Empass killed several adult wild wolves that had gone mad. ”
"Friday, rain, frustration—" Jerry's heart sank.
"Due to the weather, we were delayed for a few days to get to [Elven Valley]. It was an unusually frightening and frustrating day, the road to the Elven Valley was littered with the corpses of some adult elves, and the smell of decay was everywhere, and when Empass and I passed through the Moon River, we were attacked by several male elves. Unfortunately, Empass killed the elves with his repeating crossbow, and he nearly lost a leg. ”
"Sunday, heavy rain, crash—" Jerry's snort rose and fell.
"Worst Sunday ever. Empass fled without permission, he reneged on the agreement between us, and betrayed the principles of the Golden Magician. We fought the [Wuling Forces], and Empass fled, leaving the three of us behind, and I was about to collapse. It's getting more and more dangerous to go to the Elven Valley, and I'm going to find a reason to get Erdo away, I don't want him to follow me and lose my life. ”
"Saturday, thunderstorm, despair—" Jerry's heart was disturbed.
"Barton is dead. Elven Valley turned into chaos. Erdedo didn't want to go alone, and I didn't force it anymore. I hope they will send people to support us. But I waited for several days, and I didn't wait for news of support. The [Wuling Force] took control of the [Elven Valley], they put Gu on the elves, the elves began to kill each other, they all went crazy, they even fought against us, we encountered great difficulties. I decided to sneak those normal elves out of the valley. ”
"Friday, thunderstorm, tragic—" Jerry's heart shook.
"Eridor and I embarked on a great exodus with the elves. The number of elves killed by the Uling along the way was beyond my capacity, and we lost a lot. I decided to let Erdo go with the elves first. My back-to-back battle with the [Wuling Forces] is imperative. Fortunately, three months ago, I left something for Sea and the child, I asked Mr. Pok to take away some of my memories, I left the dragon training spell to my child, and hid it in the memory cabinet of the Phantom Pavilion, this matter is only known to me, Eredor and the teacher Bock, and I gave the password to Erdo. ”
Jerry stared at the diary quietly, like a sculpture that didn't move, and Zhang Wuwei's gaze stopped at the diary.
