33. The King-Making Project
The sun was still shining, and the fast swimmer sat alone at the door, staring blankly into the distance, which was the direction Yu Xian had just left.
"Thank you, old man."
The owl nightjar came from the shadows with a complicated expression. There are entanglements, there is liberation, and more is a kind of hope.
The fast swimming frog has no expression and looks a little cold.
"I've told me everything you asked me to do, and now it's gone to the cooking house as you arranged. Old cat, sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. I saw the cloth bag in that kid's hand, and I didn't think you even gave it that thing. It's been twenty years, twenty years, you haven't begged me once, and in the end you took this life-saving grace, just so that I could give this kid a chance. ”
"Old cat, tell me, am I overestimating the importance of this favor, or am I underestimating the ability of that carp king?"
The fast swimming frog was full of anger, and her fists were clenched, very unwilling.
The owl nighthawk didn't react in particular, but looked into the distance with a chuckle.
"Favor, don't you have to keep it and bring it into the coffin?"
"I thought you'd use it and let me take care of the blossoms after you died!"
Hearing the words of the owl Nighthawk, the fast swimming frog was even more angry.
"Could it be that in your heart, can this carp king be more important than Duoduo? I'd be disappointed if you told me it was! ”
The owl nighthawk sighed, and his tone was firm.
"In a way, it's more important than Duoduo. In my eyes, it is what the adult is to you. ”
"What did you say!"
"You're comparing that kind of elf to Lord Apu, you're insulting Lord Apu!"
The fast swimming frog quickly got up, and swung its palm at the owl Nighthawk's face with a biting chill. The owl nighthawk did not flicker or close, and watched as the fist in his eyes was infinitely magnified.
"Bang!"
The Freeze Punch swept through the owl's nighthawk's neck and slammed into the wall of the tree behind the owl. Almost instantly, the entire tree wall was frozen in a thick layer of ice. Even so, the owl nightjar suffered frostbite from the cold's neck.
"If it weren't for our decades of affection, you'd be dead by now. There will be another time, and it will not die. ”
The fast swimmer gave the owl Nighthawk a cold look and turned away.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on what I promised you. I'll stay in Tree Village for seven days, and after seven days, if that kid can successfully graduate from the restaurant, I'll give him a chance. ”
"You don't understand what Lord Apu means to us, and any insult to him will be our mortal enemy. Twenty years ago, I owed you my life. Twenty years later, I won't kill you. But that boy, if you don't get the approval of the tree fruit house..."
"I'll kill it!"
The owl nighthawk felt the coldness on his neck, frowned, and spoke slowly.
"You can't kill it, and neither can Master Apu. You think I'm insulting you, insulting Master Apu, but you don't know the meaning behind that sentence. I think if it were Lord Apu, it wouldn't blame me, but would even be gratified. ”
"What do you mean?"
The fast swimmer stopped, the anger in her heart dissipated a little, and her mind began to clear.
The owl nighthawk shook his head, and some of the answers were incorrect.
"Do you know what the graduation requirements I asked the store manager were?"
"First, defeat the three masters of the restaurant with one enemy and three."
"Second, fight the store manager once and be undefeated in half an hour."
"You're crazy!"
Unlike the calmness of the owl nightjar, the fast swimming frog is shocked.
"You're not sending it to practice at all, you're sending it to die! The manager of the Oo-tachi store is the same king as Lord Apu, and they hate fighting, but because of this, they are different from those warlike kings. Once they're in battle, they're all out from start to finish! It won't give you a chance to adapt at all. ”
"It's impossible not to know that the war-weary faction's kings have always been known for their instant kills. Tell me, old cat, why are you doing this! ”
The fast swimming frog has a straight face, because of the excitement of emotion, the muscles of the whole body are tense, and a momentum formed by running in various dangerous places all year round permeates out.
With a flash of light, a circle of colorful light shrouded the owl's nighthawk's body, canceling out the momentum of the fast swimming frog, and even the frostbite on the neck was completely healed.
"Time is running out and it was a gamble from the start. It's only been two and a half months since Wang Zhan, and if there is no outlier, the abandoned forest will really be over. ”
"You think I didn't know it was difficult? But what can be done about it? It's a must-visit to the restaurant, even the ice field of Lord Apu. You think I didn't know you would stay for seven days? In ten days, Lord Apu's ice field will be opened, and all the rescue team members will rush back to the ice field. And seven days is the maximum you can accept. ”
"What? You... You're even planning Lord Apu's Ice Domain! You... You want that kid to take the ice test? You're crazy, you're really crazy, it's just a king carp, it's going to freeze to death in it! ”
The owl nightjar laughed instead of being angry.
"Hehe, don't get excited. It's not just Lord Apu's ice domain, if that kid can survive, there will be one last level on it. ”
The owl nighthawk pointed to the sky.
A simple action made the face of the fast swimmer change greatly.
"You... You, how is this possible! You must be lying to me. ”
"Liared to you? What's the need for this? ”
The owl nighthawk shook his head, denied the words of the fast swimmer, and continued.
"Some kings yearn for power, and some kings like to keep a low profile. But their ultimate goal is to abandon the future of the forest, the only difference is how many elves will be sacrificed along the way. The final level will be guarded by the incumbent king. It was made by the king himself, and no one could change his decision. ”
"In fact, I don't know how long ago, the king-seeking plan has begun, but the king is so easy to appear. It wasn't until this kid appeared that I saw the opportunity. Just a few days ago, I had already gotten in touch with Wang. and won the king's approval, pinning his last hope on the little one. If it succeeds, we will have two kings, the one who has left the neutral attitude and is enough to form a constraint with the remaining two. In this way, the abandoned forest will be saved, and at least there will be much, much fewer dead elves. ”
"After all, it's all your imagination! You don't even think about it if you fail..."
"If it fails, the little one will die, I will die, and thousands of elves will die! Do you think anyone likes to joke with their lives? From the beginning, it was a choice that left no choice! The king born from the king-making plan is not to enjoy honor, but to be responsible! ”
The owl nightjar roared angrily, and must be furious. Then he sighed and regained his composure.
The fast swimmer didn't say a word, just looked in the direction of the cooking house.
It took a long time for a slight inquiry to come.
"You... Have you asked its opinion? Even if he is a king for a while, he should have the dignity of a king. The king should not be concealed, let alone plotted, for this is an insult to the king. ”
Thinking of the conversation between Yu Xian and himself, the owl Nighthawk had some tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were a smile that could not be concealed.
"Do you know what it said when I told it about the two graduation requirements of the restaurant?"
"What did you say?"
"It said..."
"What happens if I win the store manager?"
