Chrissy's face changed slightly, she promised Qinglu to bury the whole secret in her heart temporarily, naturally she couldn't show the slightest tone, and when she heard Rick's question, she quickly closed her mouth and said in a snort: "It's nothing, she said that Childe will be a big man in the future." β
"Really?" Rick looked at Chrissy suspiciously.
Rick had guessed what the Blue Moon Queen was thinking. On December 1, 2050 in the Blue Frontier calendar, at the palace of Bo Yingte, the Queen of the Blue Moon announced in public: Fenghua City has returned to the territory of the Empire, and all rebellions in the Blue Moon Empire have been put down. However, in view of the fact that on the day of the change in Fenghua City, the entire Peimeng family was killed, and the former Fenghua City Lord Gus was specially posthumously crowned? Permon is the "Duke of the Empire" and offers a reward of 100,000 gold coins to find Duke Permon's unaccounted whereabouts of his wife.
As soon as the decree was announced, the court was in an uproar. You must know that there are only five hereditary dukedoms in the Blue Moon Empire, and they are all descendants of nobles who have made countless outstanding achievements, and these people have the support of huge family forces behind them. The Permon family lasted for seven generations, and the highest title obtained was only a marquis, and this title was not hereditary. The duke title of the Blue Moon Empire has always been the most difficult to obtain, unexpectedly, the Permon family is dead, Gus? Instead, Permon received the title of "Duke", and although this posthumous title could not be hereditary, it was not without effect. If the Peimon family still has direct descendants, he can be directly given the title of "earl" by virtue of this posthumous title. Therefore, this posthumous seal is not a mercy for a family that may have perished, but has a profound impact. Moreover, this title is also the highest title bestowed by the Queen of the Blue Moon since she succeeded to the throne. Many of the ministers in the court hall and the rank of the court signaled to the imperial prime minister Pang Ge? Carlo opened his mouth to dissuade, but Ponger? Carlo remained motionless and did not respond to their requests. He was well aware of the queen's temper. The things she has decided never change lightly.
Rick returns to the inn. It was just dawn, and the courtyard was empty. He went to another solitary house to inspect and found that all the people were there.
"What's going on?" Rick asked.
"Childe, you're back!" Long Lan walked over and saluted, "We caught a thief last night. β
"Thief?" Rick was curious that someone would dare to steal his head, and he admired the thief because he had the courage to "moth to the fire".
The so-called thief. It was the little girl I saw in the restaurant yesterday, when she was knocked to the ground and her mask was torn, but there was no fear in her sparkling crescent eyes. For some reason, Rick felt scared when he saw her eyes, and seemed to always feel that something bad was going to happen, so he didn't even bother to interrogate, so he ordered Long Lan to untie the ban on her and throw her as far as he could. The ban was lifted. The girl struggled to leave, and she leaned at Rick and asked, "Can you give me that phantom beast?" She said. He pointed to Emma, who was standing aside with the little lazy worm in her arms.
"No way!" Rick's tone was resolute, and he was absolutely non-negotiable.
"I can exchange something very precious with you, what do you want?" The girl still didn't give up.
"If I want 10 million gold coins, can you give it to me too?"
"Absolutely." Seeing that the other party's tone was loose, the girl hurriedly agreed, as if she was afraid that the other party would regret it.
"You have so much money?"
The girl nodded, and took out a large stack of golden tickets from her arms quite seriously, and muttered while counting, "I don't know if I have brought enough." β
Rick could see very clearly that the large stack of golden tickets in the girl's hand came from Fuhua Money, and the number written on the top one turned out to be "one million".
"How can you have so much money?"
The girl hadn't counted the ten million gold coins yet, so she didn't raise her head and said, "I stole it from home--" When the words came out, she realized that something was wrong, and continued: "--Of course it's impossible, the family gave it." β
Rick smiled strangely, "Then your family is really rich! β
The girl ignored the meaning of his words, and raised the stack of golden tickets that she had counted, "This is 10 million gold coins, sell me that phantom beast." β
Rick said, "Slow down! I just said 'if', now I don't lack money to spend, you keep this 10 million for yourself, but I'm curious, the little lazy worm has recognized me as the master, I want to know what you want him to do? β
The girl pouted and said, "I know you're lying." This sentence seems to mean that the little sloth is worth more than 10 million gold coins, so she is sure that Rick will not sell it. This made Rick even more curious. He continued: "What is the use of it?" You said, I can help you cultivate an identical phantom beast. β
"Don't you know that this earth-attribute phantom beast has already crossed the level, it was originally a chaos second-level phantom beast, and now it is a Ming first-level phantom beast. I've never seen a Phantom Beast that has crossed the ranks, so I want to buy it for research and research, and when I find a suitable Phantom Beast in the future, I want to cultivate it to surpass the wisdom level and be as powerful as the legendary Phantom Beast. β
The girl's words really surprised Rick, not to mention her extraordinary eyesight, she could see the attributes and original level of the little lazy worm at a glance, just her last sentence, which shocked Rick, because he has always been a person with no ambitions, and seeing a petite girl who is one or two years younger than himself say such things, he is really ashamed of his "man's heart" with strong self-esteem. As he listened to the girl, he asked himself, "Rick, which direction are you going?" Become a powerhouse in martial arts? A businessman who rivals the richest of the country? A generation of heroes? Or are they dignitaries who control the life and death of tens of millions of people? Maybe fate can tell me. Rick was secretly determined to do something earth-shattering. Life is like this, if you spend your life in an ordinary environment, there may be nothing to regret, but when you encounter too many extraordinary people or things, you can't do anything if you want to be ordinary. Instead of going with the flow, it is better to push the waves forward, which has become the best portrayal of Rick's later life.
When he detached from his contemplation, he found that all the people around him were looking at him, some with amazement, some with love, some confused, some confused, but more with joy. Probably this is the confusion of care. Rick glanced at the two people with whom he had the least connection, Alice and Lu Hanxue, and noticed that their eyes were tinged with a kind of research.
He was still standing here, and the girl was in a hurry, and pulled his clothes again and again and asked, "What do you want?" Come on, I want to get the phantom beast back to study it quickly. β
"The little lazy won't go with you." Rick had to prevaricate and let him sell the little lazy worm, it was absolutely impossible, although it was originally a low-level phantom beast, it did not affect Rick's love for him. Now that he had crossed the ranks with the help of the Ten Thousand Year Mana Crystal, he cherished it even more.
"It's not easy, it's not difficult to get him to recognize me as the Lord." The girl replied nonchalantly.
"I still don't sell." Rick had no choice but to block the possibility of a qiΔ deal.
The girl's crescent eyes turned slyly and said, "I exchanged an elf for you?" β
Rick shook his head.
"Peerless martial arts cheats?"
Shake oneβs head.
"A lost ancient magic book?"
Still shaking his head.
"Then I'll follow you." The girl sat on the ground and simply relied on him. Rick ignored this, he was in a hurry to ask Alice a question now, so he didn't care whether the girl was pestering him or not, he just told the Nymph Guards to take care of the little sloth worm and his other two phantom beasts, and not to let this strange girl take them away. He called Alice into the living room and said, "I've been busy these days, and I forgot to ask you since we met, has Mr. Xin returned to Blue City?" How is she now? β
The night before Rick left Rainbow Hills, he left the camp to explore the temple where Alva was. However, after receiving the report from the Blue City envoy that night, Stelle immediately left Rainbow Hills and returned to Blue City. Before leaving, she had been to Rick's tent and found only his apparitions, but she didn't know where the people had gone. Stelle was so anxious that she left a message in Rick's tent and said goodbye. Before Rick returned to camp the next day, he secretly went to his tent first, read Stella's message, and decided that he would go to Stella after he had finished Alva's business.
Seeing that he was so nervous about his teacher, Alice knew that there was something strange in it, but she didn't bother to say anything, after all, she didn't have any definite relationship with Rick, so she just said angrily: "She's back to the wasteland." β
"Why?"
"She was originally the court magician of the Wasteland Country, and it was only natural that the Queen of the Wasteland Country summoned her back. What's more, something big has happened in the wasteland country. Teacher Xin had to go back. β
Rick didn't expect the news he had gotten to be like this, and he thought that Stelle would wait for him back in the Blue City as promised. Now, she has returned to the wasteland, which has devastated him. But after a while, he figured it out again: Stelle was a responsible woman, and the queen had a life, so she naturally did not dare to disobey it, and now he turned all his hatred on the queen. It's a pity that he would never have thought that the queen of the wasteland country had already put the name "Rick" in his heart and kept an eye on his growth.
After a conversation with Alice, Rick returned to his room and concentrated on cultivating True Qi in the hope that he could use the new power in his body as much as he could. He sat for a long time, and at noon, he was suddenly woken up by the noise outside. Pushing the door open, the scene in front of him suddenly made him smoke. The "thief" caught last night was chasing the little lazy worm all over the yard, laughing like silver bells from time to time, and the four phoenix attendants and sword attendants were all around to cheer for her, looking at the appearance of the little lazy insect wolf bèi, obviously suffering a lot. Rick coughed heavily, the girl stopped in response, the sparkling crescent moon eyes looked over, suddenly laughed, flew over, very fast, Rick's eyes blinked, she was already standing beside her.
