Chapter 118 Rights and Obligations
The wooden boat that sailed through the waves was very small and rudimentary, it was just a piece of cedar that had been soaked long enough in tung oil, and when it was fished out, it had a narrow dent that could barely stand with its feet together.
But it was this simple wooden boat, which was not even equipped with oars, that after being swallowed up by the waves again and again, it always stubbornly and tenaciously appeared in Luo's field of vision, and quickly came straight to the direction where Luo and Medusa were.
The wooden boat did not approach the wilderness, and even stopped when it was still a few dozen meters away from the shore. The boatman, who had been standing upright on the boat like a black tower, wearing only a pair of shorts, glanced at the two Medusa, waved his arms, and then bowed his head and fell silent on the bow of the boat, which was still shaking violently, as if nailed to the ship.
"Let's go, Lord Marquis should already be waiting for us, it's not a good habit to keep the elders waiting for a long time."
With a slight leap, Medusa crossed the distance that was not too far for her, and landed firmly on the wooden boat.
She seemed to be in a particularly good mood, a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to drip water, and her perfect body slowly leaned back, so that her exaggerated and tight perfect arc was gently attached to the warmth behind her.
Luo was standing quietly at the stern of the boat behind Medusa, staring down at the foaming and foul-smelling seaweed, staring at the blue-black world beneath the water.
For Lo, who has the ability to move in space, his way of boarding is even simpler and more straightforward than Medusa's. He suddenly appeared in the hull behind Medusa, even a few minutes earlier than Medusa.
Lowe didn't avoid Medusa's slightly hot body, and he didn't deliberately step away from it to show his reserve. It was unnecessary, and the cramped wooden boat had been taken up by the boatman, who was as burly as Camilla's instructor.
If Medusa was pushed away, not to mention whether she would be happy to touch the boatman who was working with his head bored, Lowe was really unsure if Medusa would kick herself off the boat on a whim after being pushed away by herself.
Growing up in the wilderness, Lo was not a good swimmer, so he finally chose to acquiesce to the other party's small, flirtatious and ambiguous movements.
The rudimentary wooden boat did not slow down in the slightest from carrying two more people, and there was not even a slight sign of sinking. The boatman, who had been silent, was clenching his hands into fists, and from time to time he threw a punch into the violently undulating sea, splashing large froths of foam and seaweed, and driving the boat to pierce the waves and quickly approach the Black Prison City.
Medusa did not feel the slightest displeasure at the cloudy, fishy spray that had fallen on her body. The leather garment she wore was impermeable, and thin enough that she could even feel the intoxicating body of the body she was clinging to, and the light tremor that made her writhe with it.
"This must be the first time he's been so close to this softness."
Medusa's eyes showed the joy of victory, to Panis, who was like a wild leopard, to her childhood friend Heidi, and even to her, who never had a chance to say a word.
She enjoyed the joy even more than she had ever deflated Angel, the Seraphic Angel who had become a sub-god.
Unfortunately, the marquis's boatman was so dutiful that Medusa didn't have time to get closer, and the small wooden boat had slowly stopped on the gray-white boulder dock of the Black Prison City.
The Marquis, wrapped in cold and heavy black armor, was standing on the dock, squinting slightly, looking at Medusa with a smile on her face, and Luo with an embarrassed face.
In the moment when his figure was obscured by the endless waves and seaweed, after the scorching softness was pressed up, he realized that one of his organs, which had no effect on survival in the wilderness, suddenly became harder than the fist of Instructor Camilla.
Lowe definitely has the ability to control and avoid this embarrassment, but he vaguely feels that if he doesn't have some necessary response, it seems to be disrespectful to Medusa. And she needed Medusa to be in a good mood at all times so that she could say a few words in her favor at the right time.
In fact, Medusa did exactly that.
Medusa gently hugged the only general of the Black Armor Legion who was always smiling in front of her, and went straight to the point.
"My dear father, things have gone a little wrong, so you may need to wear this charming armor for a while."
The Marquis's slightly cloudy eyes shone faintly, and after a gentle embrace with his cunning and mischievous daughter, he looked at the boy of the wilderness, who had always kept his head down.
"My naughty boy, have you bullied our honored guest, he looks like a barmaid who has been taken advantage of but is helpless."
The Marquis's voice was still hearty and heroic, but his tall body still stood on the narrow stone steps of the docks, and he did not have the slightest thought of letting his distinguished guest enter the Black Prison City.
"He is more concerned about the uncertain future of your other daughter, my dear father, than this small interest."
Medusa said softly, and then stood sideways next to the marquis.
The Marquis frowned slightly.
"Was there an accident at some of Heidi's work? Excuse me, Lowe, that something went wrong here, so I didn't have time to get back to my mansion yet. ”
After the Marquis apologized to Lowe, he took the intercom in Medusa's hand, which had been connected, and Heidi's cold, slightly haggard face was above the screen of the communicator.
"Lord Heidi, I hope I didn't disturb your work, how is the kid?"
In front of Luo, Marquis Begu tried his best to avoid mentioning words such as "blood fusion", which might cause some discomfort to the other party.
The Marquis had never seen the soon-to-be-own girl with blue eyes and light blue hair, but he knew that Lowe had raised her.
From this point alone, Luo was enough to make the marquis, who paid attention to aristocratic etiquette, treat him with courtesy.
"I might disappoint you, Lord Marquis."
Heidi's words were still cold, and she didn't seem to have enough respect for her new boss, or she didn't feel the need for it.
The speaker of the Marquis's private research base, Dr. Morse respected the Marquis enough, and the Doctor was an old friend of the Marquis for many years, but he still got an extremely long vacation, a lifelong vacation.
Heidi knew very well what the Marquis cared about, and not what he cared about.
"Her potential is no less than yours, Lord Marquis. Other superfluous explanations, I think may not be necessary, you should know better than I do what this means. ”
Heidi seemed busy, so she hung up the communicator after only a few short words.
Marquis Begu took a step forward and stood in front of Luo.
Luo and the Marquis looked at each other, but he still did not say a word. He was waiting for the Marquis to say something, and if the Marquis was unable or unwilling to take on the responsibility of Yi, he would turn and leave, leaving the wilderness with Yi and entering the ice field.
As for Alik, Alik is now attached to Heidi, and the Marquis's anger will first face the cold and crazy Heidi before it can completely spread to Alik.
"What do you want me to do? Lowe. ”
The Marquis did not shirk his obligations as a father, he still wore his helmet, and if necessary, he did not mind starting another war.
A war against the whole wilderness.
"I don't want her to be the enemy of the wilderness, to be imprisoned forever in the cold, dark seabed like some beings. So, she needed a tactful way that could be accepted by the wilderness, and she needed the right to never have to sleep. ”
Luo finally put forward his own conditions, which was also the purpose of his visit this time.
"It's really surprising that you can make such a condition, and it seems that you get along well with Mars. Or not Mars, Heidi? Or Camilla? But it doesn't matter anymore......"
The Marquis turned to face the sea that roared like a mad beast, and his face finally showed a solemn look.
He was weighing whether his old enough body could still give the girl who had not yet become his heir enough protection.
"I can give her the right to live in the sun carefree, but I don't know how long that right will last. My dear Luo, my time is running out, and I ask you to be considerate of an old man's inadequacy. ”
The marquis's deep words were full of sincerity, and there was a faint helplessness.
Lowe didn't know what the "chips" in exchange for sobriety were, Camila didn't tell him, Medusa didn't tell him.
And now, the marquis did not tell him either.
"As for the euphemistic way that suits the catharsis of the majestic energy in her body, there is nothing I can do about it. Just like different abilities have different effects, I can't tell you which one works for her, and I don't want to fool you in a perfunctory way. ”
Lowe bowed his head again, pondering the Marquis's words.
Heidi once said that the Marquis was the first group of people to step into the ranks of sub-gods, and if even the Marquis could not solve something, Luo did not believe that he had the ability to solve it.
The Marquis was silent, Luo didn't say a word, and a depressing atmosphere gradually permeated the outside of the angry black prison city.
"Dear Father, you may be able to look at this from a different perspective."
Medusa's voice appeared in the ears of the Marquis and Luo at the right time, and it sounded so pleasant and intoxicating.
"Rights and duties always go hand in hand, you are the Marquis of the Begu family, and while fulfilling your duty to protect the safety of the family, you should also have the right to ask questions to the family and get satisfactory answers."
The Marquis's solemn face smiled again.
Medusa was right, the Marquis's inability to give Lo a satisfactory answer did not mean that the Begu family could not give Lo a satisfactory answer.
Maybe it's time to go to the Twilight Zone and meet your dear sister.
