82 Rubeus the Betrayed

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Malone!"

Maria trotted up to Marlon and Althea, shouting excitedly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Ha, Mary! How's it going, have you missed me these days? ”

Marlon smiled and reached out to touch Maria's head, teasing her - he was a time-traveler after all, and he wouldn't learn to crouch down and talk to children like Vera and De Jong did.

"Yes! Marlon, you're not here, and there's no one to tell me stories at night! ”

Mary grumbled bitterly.

"That's what I'm ...... use."

Ma Long's smiling face stiffened, and he laughed at himself helplessly.

"That's right, Marlon, here you go!"

Mary didn't hear Marlon's words, she stood on tiptoe slightly, opened her hands together, and presented them to Marlon.

"What is this?"

Malone looked in amazement at the small, yellowish thing in the palm of Maria's hand—a cylindrical shape, with a lot of yellow crumbs scattered around it, and it smelled like bread, and it had a sweet taste.

"It's cake! My mom baked it for me! ”

Maria said proudly.

"Really? It's a cake...... Eat quickly, Mary! ”

Malone said with some embarrassment - this cake was much worse than he remembered - there was no cream, no fruit or chocolate garnishes.

But it's no wonder that in this ruined night town, not to mention the cream, even the cows can't find one; As for chocolate...... Malone didn't quite know if the people of Stormwind City had started to try drinking cocoa, but even if there were cocoa trees in this world, they should have grown in a place like Thorn Valley.

"No, it's for Marlon!"

Maria shook her head stubbornly—the gesture of tiptoeing and holding her hands made the little girl feel a little struggling, but she still managed to hold on, and there was a hint of anticipation in Vera's extremely cool pale blue eyes.

Maria is a sensible little child - even though she knows that her mother's baked cakes are not often eaten here, she decides to share them with her best friend Marlon.

"Okay!"

Marlon noticed the little girl's trembling calves, and he quickly squatted down and approached Maria's little hand; Because there was some blood and mud on his hands, he buried his head and pecked Mary's palm lightly, and took the small piece of cake into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

Maria then regained her footing, then stared at Marlon and asked.

"Well, it's delicious!"

Malone nodded, and said sincerely—despite the lack of materials, and the flour was ground with wheat bran, Vera's craftsmanship really didn't have anything to say.

"Hee-hee!"

Mary smiled happily, revealing her teeth, which were not yet very neat, and her big eyes turned into crooked crescents; Then, the little girl made a move that made Malone cry and laugh.

"Really tasty...... Don't waste it. ”

Maria laughed as she spread out her palms, licked lightly with the tip of her tongue, swallowed up the scattered cake crumbs, and then raised her head and said to Marlon seriously.

"Okay, I got it...... Mary is such a good child......"

Marlon and Althea glanced at each other, and could only praise Maria helplessly.

"Yikes! Rubeus! ”

It was only now that Maria noticed the Silver Wolf King, who had hidden behind Marlon for some unknown reason, and she shouted happily.

But Rubeus did not seem to want to see Mary, so he quietly shifted and hid behind Althea again; It's just that Rubos is so big that half of his body and his long tail that hangs down to the ground are exposed, and there is nowhere to hide.

"Rubles, are you playing hide and seek with me?"

Maria said happily, then grabbed Rubos's big tail and stroked it in her hand contentedly.

"Maria, you and Rubus play first, and Althea and I will go over there, good!"

Seeing that Maria's interest was all taken away by Rubles, Malone rolled his eyes, and then said to Maria.

"Oh! I know! Marlon, go get down to business, I'll take care of Rubos for you!" ”

Maria assured Marlon like a little adult.

"Then it's all up to you, Maria!"

Marlon had a wicked smile on his face, then pulled Altea and walked towards Vera's house.

"Whew~"

Rubes, who seemed to know that his master had abandoned him, let Maria grab his tail and let out a miserable whimper—how sad it was that the strong and fierce Twilight Wolf King, who had not long ago been fighting with his men and orc warriors, was now being held by the tail and toyed with between the fleshy palms of a little girl!

"Rubes! I'll accompany you to the town to play hide and seek! When we get tired of playing, we will go back to eat the cake baked by our mother, and you will have a share of it! ”

Maria grinned and tugged at Rubos's tail, flicking it like a chauffeur and flicking it down into the alleys of Nighttown.

Rubbes, of course, didn't want to play hide and seek, and he didn't want to eat any whole-wheat cake; But it could not speak, and it could not protest against Mary's "unreasonable" behavior, so it could only let out a low sound in its mouth again, and the tone of the voice was so gentle that it was really sad for those who heard it, and wept for those who saw it!

……

However, Marlon, the owner of Rubos, did not pity his pet at all, on the contrary, he felt that it was worth sacrificing Rubos in exchange for the opportunity for him and Althea to be alone with Maria.

"Shall we go in?"

Standing at the door of Vera's house, Malone turned his head, looked at Maria, and said with a smile.

"You...... You go take a bath, I'm ...... What do I do in there? ”

Althea's face turned red and she stammered.

"You can wait for me inside! And...... The bathtub at Vera's house was huge and we could wash it together. ”

Malone said solemnly teasing Althea.

"One...... Together...... That...... How's that going to work...... Oh, by the way, Sister Vera must have gone to prepare food for you, I'...... I'll see if I can help! ”

Althea muttered these words incoherently, then turned sharply, lowered her head and ran away quickly.
