In the nameless leisure teahouse in the outer city of the Holy Seed Academy, Jiang Yan saw Wang Fugui again. He sat in the old place, with a cup of hot tea in front of him, his silver hair was messy, it was full of dirt and weeds, and Jiang Yan even saw a few small insects crawling out of it.

"Yo, little brother Jiang Yan." Hearing the footsteps behind him, Wang Fugui turned his head with a smile, and there were still some brown clods of dirt that had been shaken off from his face.

"Are you just coming back? Ran to dig someone's grave? Jiang Yan sat down neatly and lifted Pepquino, who wanted to sit on his lap, and put it to the side. Pepquino pouted unhappily and began to rummage through the menu that was placed on the side of the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's just a little overestimating my abilities." As soon as Wang Fugui said it casually, he fooled Jiang Yan's questioning, and he seemed to ask about the watermelon very casually. Jiang Yan said vaguely, he knew that with Wang Fugui's ability, in addition to Pepkino's ability and his talent, he also knew about it.

"I'm here this time, I just want you to do something for me." Wang Fugui went straight to the point, he seemed to have more important things to do, "You shouldn't have forgotten your promise, right?" ”

"Huh." Jiang Yan closed the menu handed over by Pepkino and ordered a cup of milk tea for her, while he chose a cup of bitter strong tea.

"It's a bit far away this time." Wang Fugui took a sip of hot tea and took out a map from his pocket, "On the other side of the lake, I have already helped you with the college, I know that you plan to go back to the farm early, don't worry, it will not delay your studies." ”

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and took the map. The map is very detailed, and even some military facilities in San Diego are marked in, from the map, this Jiang Yan has heard of the lake is in the middle of the North Continent, no wonder it has always been known as the heart of the North Continent, and to the north of the Lake is the Euler Mountains, which are not as cold as the Tianshan Mountains but are also forbidden to humans, and there is also the main mine of Jinkela.

After returning to reality with Pepquino, Jiang Yan was also planning a trip to the Earth Lake, and Jiang Yan knew from the words of the big-eyed beads that the Earth Lake was the final destination of the previous generation of watermelons, and if he really wanted to uncover the mission that Pepquino was carrying, he would have to go over there.

"What are you going to do over there?" Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he tried his best to control the muscles in his face and make himself look natural.

"Pick up my friend's daughter." Wang Fugui took a breath of heat and put down the teacup in his hand, "She's almost awake." ”

"Hmm-Jiang Yan Jiang Yan! This one doesn't taste good! Bitter! Pepkino took a sip of Jiang Yan's strong tea, and wanted to nest into his arms with a bitter face.

"You didn't drink this." Jiang Yan smiled and took the teacup from her hand and handed the milk tea over.

"This is what your watermelon looks like after it has mutated?" The wrinkles on Wang Fugui's face were all twisted together, and Jiang Yan even felt that as long as he had a little more force, he could even squeeze out the treacherous liquid from this old face, "It's so cute!" ”

Rumble! Whoa!

There was a crisp sound of wood breaking, Wang Fugui had no shadow, and a huge snow-white rabbit took his original place.

"Don't destroy the tables and chairs!" Jiang Yan lightly nodded Pepquino's forehead.

"Ahem, ahem." Wang Fugui staggered up from the ground, and the moment the rabbit sat down, he rolled very quickly with a tactic, "The personality is quite lively." ”

"Pepquino hates ugly guys." Pepkino stuck out his tongue mischievously and shrank behind Jiang Yan's back.

Jiang Yan apologized to Wang Fugui with a smile, Wang Fugui stood up, the shopkeeper rushed over as if he had encountered the end of the world, Jiang Yan looked up, and always felt that this guy was a little different today, more gentle? If it had been before, he would definitely take out the bill aggressively and paste it on Jiang Yan or Wang Fugui's face at once.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll pay for the things." Wang Fugui said.

After a commotion, the two talked about the lake again.

"My friend's daughter, who has been sleeping underground for hundreds of years." Wang Fugui's words were shocking, "He entrusted her to me before he died, and asked me to pick her up after she woke up." This time, it may be a little dangerous. ”

"Why don't you go?"

"Ahem. Well, only gardeners can enter that place, and I, for some reason, am no longer a gardener. ”

"She's a plant girl?" When Jiang Yan heard that there was danger, the first thing he thought of was the plant mother, but how could she call it a daughter?

"I guess so." Wang Fugui's answer was ambiguous.

Pepchino was still on the side, she was still familiar with this world that she felt unfamiliar, and she wanted to touch everything, Jiang Yan ordered her another pastry, and she settled down and sat quietly next to Jiang Yan. Her rabbit grew smaller again and sat on top of her head, its long ears twitching from time to time, and its large dark eyes looking around with the same curiosity.

- Yo, when I woke up, I saw an acquaintance.

Jiang Yan suddenly had this sentence in his heart, Jiang Yan was startled at first, and then came back to his senses.

[Big eyes? 】

The back of the rabbit's head suddenly cracked a slit, and it was an eye, emitting a faint golden light.

- You're really impressing, Jiang Yan.

[Who are you talking about? 】

- Wang Fugui, hehe, what a treacherous person.

Jiang Yan still wanted to ask in detail, but his eyes were already closed, and Wang Fugui was also curious about Jiang Yan's stunnedness, so Jiang Yan casually sent it away.

"If you go down there, you might activate the garrison system he's left behind, but those are old toys that I think you should be able to deal with. The biggest danger for you to pass this time should be his daughter. ”

"His daughter?"

"Why do you think he let his daughter sleep? In fact, this is not only a resurrection ceremony, but also a seal. The disaster that sneaked out of the lake nearly threw her out of control, and in order to erase the imprint of the disaster, he had to destroy her body and pull out her soul. ”

"Disaster that escaped from the lake?!"

"Don't worry, you shouldn't run into it this time, that seal is quite solid."

Jiang Yan knew that this was the information that Wang Fugui deliberately revealed to him, and he could think of it with his cochlear that that guy must be one of the mutations in the mouth of the big eyeball. I won't run into ...... this time Jiang Yan had to think about it a lot, and from the mouth of the big eyeball, Jiang Yan knew that it was a complete accident for the watermelon to wake up this time.

However, he still has not clarified one thing, whether it was the first wave of counter-offensive (or disaster riot) that woke up to the watermelon, or whether the two were the opposite...... Jiang Yan felt that these two things must be entangled, and the disaster riot may be because of those mutations that were sealed, and the birth of watermelons was directly related to mutations. But the investigation of this matter is not simple, the record of watermelon does not appear in the official history at all, or it is not open to ordinary people, and there are only some vague records about her secrets in those big families that have been passed down to this day. He wanted to ask the big eyeball, but not to mention that this guy was always mysterious, and the chronology it used to remember was not the one used by humans, but a timeline that only it knew now.

After a few more pleasantries, Jiang Yan sent Wang Fugui away, he seemed to have something important and was in a hurry to go back and deal with it. He sat in his seat and thought for a while, when he was in the dream world, he had a plan, if he had the opportunity to go out, he must learn about the watermelon.

Although he can also console himself with the fact that the awakening of the watermelon was an accident, and then spend the rest of his life on his farmstead.

It's a pity that Jiang Yan still believes in Murphy's theorem, and it is a habit of him to have the highest expectations and prepare for the worst.

"Let's go, Pepquino." Jiang Yan stood up.

"Huh?" Pepkino lifted his head strangely as he held up the cup of milk tea.

"Let's go meet some friends."

There are still a few days left in the day of going to Dihu, Jiang Yan plans to prepare some things, and also visit the guy who helped him in this incident by the way.

Although Wang Fugui always looks like he is calculating people at any time, he still does a good job of some details. When he passed by the counter, the shopkeeper stopped him, not because he was paying the bill.

"Mr. Wang asked me to give you this thing." The shopkeeper took out a purple potion.

"Did he say something?" Jiang Yan took it, Jiang Yan had seen something similar, it was the kind of potion given to him by Wuji, but in terms of color and luster, the effect was definitely different.

"He said this is an extra commission for you to go to the lake this time, and he thinks you should use this thing."

Jiang Yan frowned.

"But as a regular customer here, I still advise Mr. not to use this kind of thing, that guy must have bad intentions." The shopkeeper rubbed a glass, and a white silk handkerchief swirled around the quilt.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Judging from the seal on the bottom of the potion, it is specially used for plant mothers, but as far as I know, there are very few potions for plant mothers, and from the appearance characteristics, this should be a plant growth inhibitor."

"Plant growth inhibitors? How do you know? Jiang Yan's heart was shocked, and when he heard the word inhibition, he immediately thought of Xiaocao.

"Occasionally, making potions is also my hobby." The shopkeeper had never heard of the work in his hands, and one cup after another became shiny in his hands.

"But why didn't Wang Fugui tell me personally......" Jiang Yan muttered in a voice that could be heard by the shopkeeper.

"Because he knows who I am." The shopkeeper said, looking up.

Jiang Yan was silent for a while, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke:

"You're here...... What potions can be sold? ”

"See what you're offering?" The shopkeeper laughed, at this moment, Jiang Yan was very sure that this guy was a plant mother, and she was definitely not the previous shopkeeper, she seemed to use some kind of ability to cover up her breath, and even disguised herself as the shopkeeper here.

After a while, the plant lady who pretended to be the shopkeeper waved her big customer away.

"It's been very rewarding." She looked at the resources at her feet, took off her hat, and shook her short blonde and white hair neatly.

"Have you made some big business again, woad." Outside the door, a maid dressed as a maid walked in.

"Yikes! Ashitaba, long time no see! ”

"Don't play haha, why did you get here? Where's your boss? My old thing wants to drink the Jili Pu Pu Black Tea here. "Asutaba didn't expect to meet this former comrade-in-arms here, shouldn't she be in the owner's branch in San Miguel? Well, at the same time, she's also a restless amateur drugmaker, and you never know what weird medicine she'll pull out of her.
