I saw that he was angry for no reason, and I didn't know which words angered him, and I was inexplicably frightened, so I hurriedly bowed my head and said, "Father, I lost my words." ”

Ochid retracted his anger and said, "I'm just irritable, don't take it personally." But I will not back down on marrying Daria, and I will not allow you to shirk it. ”

I politely refused because I didn't want to stay here, and my adoptive father had told me about the legend of the skyscraper—that far away in the south, there was a skyscraper where tens of thousands of humans gathered. There, they are well fed, there they are free from demons, and there they retain the glory and beauty of the past.

I want to go there, carve out my own world, take control of the important power in the skyscraper, and become a world-famous big man.

But at this moment, I looked at his old face and expectant eyes, and my already firm determination was shaken again.

If I marry Dali, I will be the ruler of Waterless Village, and Ochid will teach him his martial arts, and in a way, I will indeed win over Milse.

But my dreams don't stop there, how do I choose?

Ochid stretched out his big hand, scratched my hair, and smiled, "Look, we're gossiping, we've almost forgotten what we're doing, so you can quickly probe the situation around us." ”

I relaxed, took out the Eye of Odin potion and swallowed it, and all the wind and grass within thirty meters were revealed. I felt the underground pipes twisting and turning, like a coiling dragon and a snake, but there seemed to be animal sounds on the road on the left.

This is my mutated constitution, and I have made all sorts of potions out of the black fruits I have picked up, and these potions can make me very strange, such as the Eye of Odin, which amplifies my senses and detects the enemies around me.

These potions are harmful to the rest of the villagers, which is my unique skill. Actually, they are not non-toxic to me, but they are much less toxic.

Ochid drew his sword, and we headed that way. The voice was gurgling, like a tuberculosis patient constantly clearing his throat and barking in a low voice, like a hound.

It was getting very humid, and I saw sweet mushrooms growing on the ground, and the mushrooms spewed spores and formed soot in the air, but luckily we had oxygen masks with us. These sweet mushrooms are not without similarities to the mushrooms in a petri dish.

Turning the corner, I saw the vocalizers lying on the ground, munching on mushrooms. It wasn't a hound, it was a humanoid canine with three heads, and even though I had a lot of experience, I had never seen such a monster. Suddenly, they raised their heads and sniffed vigorously, and Ochid immediately rushed forward, and used the fidar to connect two swords, and the sharp sword qi cut through the gold and jade, and the six heads of the two three-headed dogs all fell to the ground.

Hucedar is the mastery of Ochid, a kind of "reading blade", Ochid through a strong will, so that the long sword sends out a sharp cutting power, remote attack the enemy, take the enemy's head five meters away, more powerful than a gun.

I never imagined I could learn this.

The third canine monster raised its head to the sky and wailed, and Ochid's sword aura flashed, and its crying came to an abrupt end.

I said, "More is coming!" ”

"Come up, Longi," said Ochid. Let me see what you're up to! ”

I felt the thirst for battle beckoning me, and I drank the water of Amun, and my form faded, and Ochid looked at me in amazement, and he asked, "What?" Where did you learn this? ”

I said, "Father, I just recently discovered the magic of this new potion. ”

Ochid rejoiced: "Wonderful, I really didn't see the wrong person. ”

The water of Amun is another elixir that allows me to quickly emit magical sweat that soaks my whole body and makes me completely transparent. However, it is one of the most toxic to the body of all the agents.

When the other eight three-headed canines appeared, Ochid performed the "Iron Lotus Style", which is also a type of telepath. One husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open. I hid in the hollow of the hallway, waiting for the monsters to walk by and sneak up on them from behind. We flanked back and forth, and in a few moments we cleared them out.

Alchid gasped and was as weak as if he had been awakened from a dream, he had been able to walk fifty kilometers in one breath with a heavy load, but now the merciless years had taken away too much physical strength from him.

I said, "Father, should you go for a check-up with Dr. Ole?" After all, time is not forgiving. ”

Ochide waved his hand impatiently and said, "As long as you are willing to help me, it is better than anything." Newt and Mezzer are about the same age as me, and they're at the age of retirement, so we have to form a new team as soon as possible, and it's yours. ”

There were no monsters on the road for the time being, but we found some small canine people in one room, as tall as a six-year-old child. Ochid ordered me to kill them all, and I knew what was at stake, and stabbed them to death as he said. I'm not proud of it, but I've seen too many things like that. I've seen young demons swarm and bite my companions to death. I have seen man-eating beasts take human carcasses in their mouths and feed their young.

In this sad age, it is not them who are dying, it is us.

When I got to a large room, I saw a red pool, and the glass pipes reached into the pool, both in and out, which was undoubtedly one of the internal circulation systems of the petri dish, and this underground pipe was very long and very wide, and I must have had many similar pools. The pool stenched through the oxygen mask and into my nose, making me think it was broken.

Alchid found a red statue by the pool, a small man, the size of a palm, curled up like an unborn baby, but an old man. His expression was full of that... Despair and fear. Ochid stared at the statue for a long time, looking excited, and suddenly he coughed up a lot of blood.

I panicked, and hurriedly helped him, saying, "Father! This statue is poisonous? ”

Ochid smiled: "No, it seems that I am indeed sick, and I am too old to consume too much." He pointed to the pool and said, "This pool seems to be infected by monsters, and it tastes like rotten mushrooms." ”

I looked around at the machines and said, "But we don't know how to clean it, should we try to empty this pool?" ”

Ochid said, "Forget it, let it go, this pool is mostly related to a field, don't do it indiscriminately, and harm the rest." ”

When I walked out of the room, I couldn't help but glance back. I remembered that my adoptive father had gone straight to the farthest corner and picked up the statue, as if he had known it was here. But he was not familiar with the terrain along the way, and he could never have been there earlier. Am I overthinking?

All the way back to Wushui Village, we walked out of the secret passage, and we heard someone shouting outside the door, and Ochid ordered me to quickly close the secret door to make sure there was no trace. We walked towards the exit and saw that Newt and Umezawa were blocking the gate, blocking the villagers.

Newt yelled, "I said it! It's a knight's order, no one is allowed to come in! ”

"It's getting late," said Umezawa, "so why don't you go to bed yet?" ”

I said to my adoptive father, "It's from the Mushroom Association." ”

The adoptive father looked annoyed and said, "These troublesome bastards. ”

The Mushroom Guild is a church in the village that believes we should worship the mushroom deity and thank it for keeping us alive to this day. Usually, Ochid allowed them to perform rituals in the cultivation room, after all, they would work hard to "worship" their "mushroom god". But it's late at night, why are they here?

The bishop of the association, an old man with a broken mouth, said: "I had a dream that the mushroom god asked me to come and serve, you get out of the way and let me see if you are blaspheming the gods?" ”

Ochid stepped forward, and he said, "What a lawlessness, Mr. Broken Mouth, don't go too far! Don't forget that I'm the leader here. ”

The old man was discouraged by the majesty of Ochid, but still said, "Let me see the farmland!" Please. ”

Ochid said, "Then hurry up, I'll give you five minutes." ”

The people of the association rushed in, and they inspected the field one by one, and finally found the languishing field. They cried out in distress, but there was nothing they could do, so they poured the soup they had saved into the ground, prayed solemnly, and then withdrew.

Mr. Broken Mouth's eyes were wide and wide, and his face changed drastically when he saw the door of the secret door that we had restored to its original state, but Ochid gave the order to evict them, and they had no choice but to retreat.

I said to my adoptive father, "Father, I will step back first, you must take care." ”

"Think about what I say to you," said Ochid, "and in any case, the matter is a foregone conclusion. ”

I know Dali's temper, she is the most rebellious and bold, and the more Ochid pushes her to do what she doesn't want to do, the more she will be.... Unwilling. I don't want it to get to that point, but I really don't know what to do.

On my way back to the house, I met Aunt Ole, who was about forty-five years old, the village doctor, and who was very close to her adoptive father, and whose relationship was known to all, but who were not married.

I bowed to her in greeting, and Ole said, "Did Ochid tell you what he thought?" ”

I smiled wryly, "yes, but I don't know why he insists so much." I am not good enough to convince the people. ”

Ole lowered his voice and said, "Ochid, he's very sick, it seems.... It seems to be a terminal illness, it's his... Abdomen. ”

In an instant, my brain felt like it had been hit hard by a hammer, and I was dizzy and in sharp pain. I said, "No way! ”

Ole wailed, "It's true, but he won't let me tell anyone." That's why he's in a hurry to promote you, and he's running out of time. ”

I said, "How much longer?" ”

Ole couldn't stop trembling, she said: "I don't know, maybe there are two more years, maybe a few months, I don't have the instrument, I can't diagnose." ”

No one loves the village more than his adoptive father, and no one cares more about the future of the village than he does. He was the most fearless warrior I have ever met, and if he showed some weakness in the face of death, it was because of his reluctance to give up on the village.

I immediately understood why he had sent Misser away, for Misser was a nostalgic and kind man, who treated me like a brother. Even if he is in the Sword and Shield Society, he will think about the village and support my decision-making. When he ascends to a high position in the Sword and Shield Society, he can become a strong reinforcement in the Waterless Village.

I also understand why my adoptive father was angry because my refusal failed him. He wanted to take advantage of the time he still had to support me to come to power as soon as possible, establish authority, stabilize the situation, and work with Milsey inside and outside, so that the village could continue to maintain safely.

For the sake of my adoptive father's wishes, I can't just walk away, because I can't be ungrateful. For the sake of my hometown, the little place where I grew up, I had to abandon my dreams and stay here to guard my adoptive father's legacy, by any means necessary.

Ole hugged me and I felt her heartbreak. I told her that my adoptive father would be fine, that he was as indestructible as the armor of the Sword and Shield Society. Ole was crying, but she smiled, and she said, "Let him live for the rest of his life." ”

I came to the door with heavy steps, and I wanted to cry, but I realized that I might never cry again.

I noticed Dali watching me from a distant corner, and when I looked that way, she quickly retracted her head.

I had no mercy for her, no love, and I had tried to use her to climb up, but now I was ashamed of my thoughts.

Mercy is enough, I will marry her, even if she hates me for it, it doesn't matter, I will protect her like her father.

When I walked into the house, the first thing I saw was something strange in the fish tank.

The red fish, Yong, died, leaving only intact bones.
