Chapter 13: A Child's Ambition

Lasis loves to sleep lazy, drowsiness is one thing, and the most important thing is that Lasis at night likes to lie in bed and reflect on the day's actions, and if there is no change, he will be encouraged, and if he thinks too much, he will sleep late, and today he turned back and fell on the bed Lasis stared at the bright moon outside the window, and only felt that he was a little Meng Lang in the handling of Soria's matter.

It is said that Lasis is ready for heavy bleeding, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and the hero is mentally prepared not to blink his eyes, but the big tiger man didn't mention the slightest request, but behaved quite refreshingly, now think about it carefully, there won't be any problems, right? It is really a stupid act to be sold and help count the money, it seems that Solia is still a very rare breed, and if it is sold to the Draco, it should be quite valuable, and Lacis, who has spent the belly of a gentleman with his own villain, does not understand, and decides when to meet with Solia again, ventilate, and listen to the thoughts of the parties, and Lacis, who was blindly optimistic in front of Nagli before, felt that he was still a little impetuous, and others counted sheep, and he fell asleep silently in his state of mind.

Ace and the three of them slept next to Lassis, and Lasis was alone in a small room, which was considered a special treatment.

Basically, Lasis's day looks quite tiring, but in fact, it is okay, except for the tedious housework of laundry and mopping, there is still a lot of free time.

The first thing to do when I got up was to wash all kinds of clothes that everyone changed yesterday, originally the thieves just casually hit a few buckets of water, and the door will be washed down the scene, such as Lasis who washes by the river one by one is undoubtedly much more serious, and it is also a character, there are a lot of things, big bags and small bags, so that Lasis has the highest priority to control the only simple small cart in the cottage, and cleaning the house is generally in the evening, the most afraid is to just make the room refreshing, and they will be made a mess by Ace, Usually at this time, Lasis would ask Dadan very seriously, "Can I kill them?" ”

Because walking another twenty or thirty meters downstream is the waterfall, in the place where Lasis squats down to wash his clothes every day, the river flows very fast, and it is easy to wash away the clothes, the reason why Lasis likes this place is because of the high terrain, the view is very wide, not only can the clothes to enjoy the sun and sea breeze, but also can overlook the smoke of the windmill village in the distance, and feel the majestic spirit of the blue sea in the distance.

Ever since he discovered that there was a good place in the middle of the Dardan's family and the windmill village, Lasis would sit alone on the cliff at sunset, listening to the rumbling sound of falling water, holding his cheeks, looking at the sea in the distance along the sea level dyed like fire, revealing a touch of serenity that was rarely seen, but he didn't know what to think.

"Ahh

Humming a certain divine comedy that had spread to almost all ages and classes in his previous life, Lasis was lying on a branch of a tree drying clothes downward, tearing them apart one by one, and if you looked closely, you would find that the distance between each piece of laundry was almost equal, which showed that he was careful.

As soon as his ears moved, Lasis, who found someone approaching, immediately slid down the trunk of the tree and picked up a homemade iron rod, which was the same as Ace's specifications, the only difference was that the tail was also equipped with an elbow to increase weight, presumably Lasis played more fancy than them, and would use the tail.

From the windmill village to the cottage, the high ground where Lasis squatted is a must-pass place to cross the river, and only in front of him there are a few decent reefs for people to play the game of frog crossing the river.

It was a strange combination of an old man and a young girl, and even if it was a girl, she was much older than Lacis.

Lasis had not been spending the night for a long time, and it was not clear whether the person who came was friend or foe, at least Lassis had never seen anyone in Windmill Town go up the mountain, nor had he heard of any dealings between the Dadan family and the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the only thing that was certain was that the other side at least did not pose a threat to him, and he could be killed on the spot.

The girl smiled brightly and took the lead in asking, "Dadan family?" ”

It's very concise, it's better than opening your mouth to say "Immortals?" Monster? "It's going to be good," Lacis smiled back, nodded, stretched out the iron rod in his hand, and pulled the comers in turn.

As soon as she got ashore, the girl who already knew that Lassis was from the Dadan family introduced herself generously by saying that she was the waitress of the Windmill Town Bar named Magino, and the one next to her was the head of Windmill Village.

The road from Windmill Town to the cottage is sparsely populated, except for the occasional old wolf who has been expelled from the group to try his luck here, there is basically no threat, and Lacis, who feels that he has a bit of a receptionist taste, still puts down his work and escorts the two of them back to the cottage all the way with courtesy.

Along the way, Magino changed his previous concise style and let go of his nagging, and the topics all revolved around Luffy, who had lived in Windmill Village for 7 years, while Lasis answered all questions and was very patient, but from time to time in private he swept his gaze to the village chief who seemed to be silent, this person has great wisdom, this is Lacis's intuition.

"We want to drive out all the imps, and if this continues, the Dadan family will be occupied by the three of them! No, I can't hold on until again. Boss Dadan gritted his teeth and said to the two deputies, Ace last night they played a little big, and somehow they got it, they got through the floor, and Luffy who fell down directly made the Dadan boss below fall into misery, and she lost sleep all night, and now she still has two huge black circles under her eyes.

"Alright, alright, boss."

"Didn't the Dadan family have already been occupied by them......".

A punch slammed into the ground, and Dadan shouted, "Less!! I can't take care of them anymore!! Get them out at once, whatever it says with Karp!! ”

Boss Dadan drank vigorously, as if he had returned to the green age when he was in the mountains of Kolber, his majesty and determination could be felt even by Lasis a hundred meters away, and the contempt for Karp in his words was admired even by him who had always been calm, as the old man of the windmill village was estimated to have grown up in a pair of pants with Karp in terms of age, no matter what the purpose of your coming here was, in short, it was right to oppress from the momentum first, Boss Dadan's roar was full of momentum and powerful enough, Now Lasis has regarded himself as a supernumerary member of the Dadan family, in his opinion, coming to the thieves is basically just talking about some business of stealing chickens and dogs, such as collecting protection money, helping to tie up a ticket, etc., the old man looks dignified, and he is really unseemly.

"Hey!"

The old man's feed directly interrupted Dadan's pre-war mobilization, and he didn't see who it was, he just thought that Karp's Dadan boss immediately turned around and knelt on the ground, opening and closing his mouth with "I'm sorry", and explained to himself that the masculine rhetoric just now was impulsive, and the tall and complete image that Lasis had just established in his heart collapsed instantly, opened his hand to cover his face, shook his head, and felt deeply ashamed, shouldn't he fake a cough and prompt?

"I'm sorry...... I heard Luffy is bothering here......"

A delicate female voice interrupted some of Dadan's boss's self-indulgent behavior, and Dadan, who raised his head, looked a little stunned, obviously not yet figured out what the situation was, and Luffy, who was rarely at home and didn't go out blindly, probably heard the voice, and quickly rushed out of the room, and threw himself straight into the girl's arms.

The next thing is someone else's reminiscence, which has nothing to do with Lacis, who originally planned to continue to go back to dry clothes, but was stopped by Magino, looking at the posture to give him clothes, looking up and seeing that Sapo had already run away, and Ace also walked out slowly with an unhappy face, Lasis has nothing to be hypocritical, trotting all the way, among his peers, Lasis is relatively thin, but he was born with wide shoulders and a big skeleton, and his clothes are a little model.

"I'm shy~~~"

"It's all red, Ace~~~"

Maybe it's because Luffy was used as a template when it was made, and Ace, who was the fastest-growing, didn't find clothes that fit well, and needed to be cut on the spot, and was blushing and asking Magino to collect some basic data, while the three people next to him got together to ridicule him, and Ace, who had always been hard, was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but was suffocated by Magino's words of don't move, pulling his face, and muttering for a while for me to wait and see, which made the three of Lassis laugh even more.

The food at night is very rich, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything, the material is Ace They went out to capture in the afternoon, and the cooking was completed by Magino, and the usual ** naked meat is different, the workmanship is exquisite, it looks quite delicious, full of the warm taste of a small family, on the one hand, it is out of respect for the guests, on the other hand, it is not to destroy the rare harmonious atmosphere, the routine melee of the day did not open, except for a few imps to eat as always full of lethality, The rest of the people did their best to show their self-cultivation, and they were decent, probably because there were too many bachelors here.

At today's dinner, the current topic of the little ghost revolves around who will be the captain in the future, I don't know how many times this question has been raised, and the result is always playing their own games, each going to sea, Lasis heard calluses all out, Ace is bent on competing with him, and Sapo Bacheng feels that it is useless to say, a waste of spit, only Luffy This guy once really asked Lasis if he wanted to get on his ship, and Lasis replied very simply, not to say that it was a refusal, "I can be subservient, but at least this person is better than me." ”

"Sure enough, when sailing, you can't live without delicious meals." Sabo, who savored it, turned the topic to sailing, "When you go to sea, you must find a skilled chef as a companion." ”

"I'm going to be a pirate first, your idea is going to fall through." Ace, who chewed a piece of meat, tilted his head and said.

Listening to the words of the two people next to him, Luffy was not happy, so he jumped up directly, stepped on the stool with one foot and the table with the other, gave a thumbs up and pointed at himself, and said with the first posture in the world: "It's too cunning, I want to be the first to become a pirate!" ”

It's just that the people sitting opposite, their expressions are a little strange, the only one who can be regarded as a good point is Lacis, the peculiarity is that there is no peculiarity, the knife and fork cut the steak in front of him, it seems to be very calm, but it gives people a very cold feeling, such Lacis, Ace They have only seen it once, that is, when he asked "Who do you say you are?" when he faced Polshemi.

A sudden cough from behind interrupted Ace and Luffy's thoughts, and the sound was familiar.

"You're still saying that!!"

Ace, who turned his head, staged a face-changing stunt alive, and his originally high-spirited little face was instantly filled with melancholy.

It's a hero of the navy, Vice Admiral Karp, Luffy's own grandfather, and Ace is also entrusted by him here, so he should also have a bit of a relationship.

"You want to be a naval soldier in the future, don't you understand!?"

Adhering to the ancient precept of a filial son under the stick, Karp rewarded Ace and Luffy with one punch, and even Dadan was inexplicably beaten for not being properly educated, putting everyone in danger, only Lasis was still like that, concentrating on destroying the food in front of him without saying a word.

Monchi? D. Karp, even if he is already full of head, is still one of the characters standing at the top of the era, and now standing alive in front of him, Lacis seems to be calm, and his heart has long been calm, what is the man pursuing? It's nothing more than wealth, fame and power, for the old man in front of him with a free and easy personality and perverse behavior, as long as he is willing, everything is at his fingertips.

Sapo was also included in the training list by Karp because of the previous sentence that he was going to sea, and the three little imps resolutely implemented the strategic transfer idea of Lassis who could not beat and run, spread his legs, and ran towards the forest like a lifeless, followed by Karp.

Lasis picked up the last piece of grilled steak with a fork, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and after swallowing it, put down the knife and fork, and drank another sip of water to moisten his throat, all the movements seemed orderly, and finally wiped his mouth, as if he had made some important decision, raised his head, his eyes were clear, and he followed the traces left by Karp, chasing all the way.

"I'll come back tomorrow and train you well!"

After a crackling, Karp, who had already taught the three naughty eggs a good lesson and felt comfortable, slapped his palms, threw off a sentence and walked away.

Halfway through the journey, Karp put away his old stubbornness, and his eyes revealed a kind of wisdom that can only be found in the ups and downs of honor and disgrace for decades, and asked Lasis who was coiled on the big rock by the roadside: "Little ghost, do you also want to be trained by my iron fist?" ”

Lasis, who had been waiting, stood up and stared blankly into Karp's eyes and replied, "No kidding, sir, my ambition is to become a good sailor. ”

Karp was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The son can be taught!" The child can be taught! As soon as you are of the right age, I will recommend you to go to the Naval Academy. ”

"Thank you, senior."

Lacis, who was determined to pay attention to hugging his thighs, followed Karp respectfully all the way, but he obviously underestimated Karp's decades of experience, as well as his torch-like acquaintance, or maybe Lacis underestimated himself, which is also a few years later, Lasis regrets every time he thinks about it, everything is too deliberate, where would a 10-year-old child deliberately wait at the place of the way, just to say his ideals?

Karp, who didn't show anything on his face, had already made a conclusion in his heart that it was like a double-edged sword, which was very high and dangerous.

"This tiger is capable, but its ambition and greed are very great, and it needs to be suppressed.

Years later, Lacis, who had risen to prominence after a series of battles, Karp said this privately to Chief of Staff Tsuru.
