Morningstar meets the man Leo wants to protect, in an abandoned building.

It seems that this group of people has been living in peace recently, and this abandoned building has been furnished to look like a bit of home, although it is dilapidated, but it is full of warmth. Several men were outside sorting out the debris-covered appearances, and judging by the scraps and boulders piled up on both sides, it was clear that the work had been going on for some time. Inside the house, the women were taking care of a few old people who were eating, and several children were drooling at the meat in the woman's hands, and the old man divided the small meat into several pieces and gave them to the children one by one, and the little ones bent down to apologize, and then left the room happily.

Bitter, indeed too bitter. It should be that the news that Morningstar bought the stone has not yet reached the ears of these people, or maybe Leo has other arrangements, so these people in front of them are still living like this. Turning his head to look at Leo, he saw that his face was a little sad. Morningstar believed that Leo was not trying to monopolize this huge amount of money, and must have other arrangements, so he didn't say much. Leaving Leo busy, Morningstar walks around the abandoned building alone. The children around him were very interested in this young man who had appeared on his own but had not been driven out by other elders, and the morning star, who was still wearing a gown, looked out of place in this environment.

Not far from the Morning Star sat a woman, picking through a pile of plants. Morningstar recognized the woman, and although there were some differences, it was still clear that she was the woman in Leo's camera. Walking forward, Morning Star asked, "Sister, what are you busy with?" ”

The woman glanced up at the morning star, smiled, and the charm was still there. He replied: "This is the wild vegetables that the children found from outside, they are still too young, and they can't remember some things after they have been taught, no, they have brought back many things that cannot be eaten, I will pick them." ”

"That's what you usually eat?"

The woman sighed and replied, "I don't eat this all the time, but the last days have been bitter, my family has taken people out for three years, and only found a stone, and I don't know if it was sold or not, so I can save it." ”

Morningstar didn't say anything more, squatted down, asked the woman how to choose, and then got busy silently.

I don't know how long it took, but the pile of wild vegetables in front of me was almost finished, and Leo finally returned. Seeing that Morning Star was helping his wife pick wild vegetables, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Morning Star, what are you doing here, how can your identity do such a vulgar job?" ”

Morningstar frowned and glanced at Leo and replied, "What is my identity?" I'm not one of those aristocratic lords who need to be served every day, I'm just a soldier of the Republic, an ordinary person. ”

Seeing Leo's reaction, the woman hurriedly stood up and looked at Leo with some fear, for fear that her man would be angry. The woman knew Leo well, and had not seen the man grovel to anyone since the incident seven years ago, not even if the knife was on his neck. Cleo obviously had a lot of respect for this young man, and even used the title of adult, so wouldn't it be disrespectful for him to let this young man pick wild vegetables with him before?

Leo was really angry, he couldn't be angry with Morningstar, so he turned his head and glared at the woman, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Morningstar.

"Alright, man, I'm not the kind of person you think. Don't pretend, the way you looked when you looked at the photos before, I also know how much you cherish your sister-in-law, it's very distressing to wait a while, right? ”

Exposed by the Morning Star, Leo touched the back of his head and smirked. He really cherishes the woman in front of him, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, when Leo was still penniless, this woman married Leo under great pressure, and more than ten years of love made Leo regard this woman as a treasure. After that incident seven years ago, the woman did not choose to leave Leo, but started a life of fugitive with him, which made Leo cherish her even more.

After a moment of affectionate looking at each other, Leo's feelings exploded, and he hugged the woman and kissed her fiercely, causing the woman to blush, and hammered Leo's chest hard and said, "What are you doing, someone is watching." As soon as you came back, you were mysterious, and I haven't asked you yet, has the stone been sold? ”

Leo nodded, lifted his mechanical arm, and extended his thumb and little finger to make a gesture.

The woman sighed lightly and replied, "It's okay, after all, it's just a stone, sell a little bit and count a little, you go and buy some meat and come back, and make up for the children, they are still growing their bodies, and this day's green vegetables and rice are not the way." ”

Morningstar shook his head, thinking that Leo was still playing mysterious.

Leo was still smiling at the woman, his face a little strange.

"What? Not six thousand? How much is that? Six hundred? That's not enough money to cost you to travel back and forth, right? The woman said with some disappointment.

Leo's face sank, and he replied: "You man and I are not stupid, besides, I can participate in the auction, how can it be six hundred yuan?" ”

The woman smiled when she heard this, and no longer caring that the morning star was beside her, she kissed Leon's not very clean face hard, and said, "My man is reliable, 60,000 yuan is enough for us to use it for a while." ”

Leo shook his head and said, "Less, more." ”

The woman's expression became a little incredulous, and she said tremblingly: "Six, six hundred thousand? ”

Leo shook his head again.

"Six million?"

Still shaking his head.

"Sixty million? Leo, we are very bitter, but you can't lie to anyone! What fool would spend sixty million on a stone? Did you cheat that buyer? Hurry up and give it back, don't get in trouble! The woman's voice had become a little harsh, and she said to Leo.

The morning star on the side has a black line on her face, this eldest sister is really straightforward, how can she say that people are stupid in front of people.

"Ahem." Morning Star coughed lightly and said, "Eldest sister, the fool you said is me." ”

"Ahh The woman didn't think that Morning Star was the buyer, and she looked a little embarrassed, but then she grabbed Morning Star's arm and said, "Little brother, look at your dress, you should be a rich man, but sixty million is not a decimal number, and no one's money is blown by the wind, you can think about it again, after all, it's just a stone." ”

Morning Star smiled, it was not a family, it was not a family, the woman in front of her was kind-hearted, even if she was already poor, she still did not feel greedy because of such a huge amount of money, but thought about herself.

"Eldest sister, although that thing is just a stone in your eyes, it means a lot to me, and I feel that I am not at a loss." Morningstar said with a smile.

"But, that's too much."

Leo looked at the woman's joy and worry, and took her back into his arms in distress, and after comforting her, he turned to Morning Star and said, "Lord Morning Star......"

Morningstar frowned unhappily and looked at Leo, this old brother had begun to become respectful since he promised to go to Itgleeson, and in the floating car, Morningstar had corrected it many times, but Leo still often called it wrong.

"Oh no, Brother Morningstar." Seeing Morningstar's displeasure, Leo hurriedly changed his words and said, "I went to discuss with my brothers just now, and they all agreed to follow you with me, but I'm still very worried that if I tell the others about the amount of the auction, they will no longer want to stay here and stay in this shabby home." ”

Morningstar raised his hand and patted Leo on the shoulder, and replied, "Brother, everyone has their own ambitions, why force it, as long as you explain the situation you are facing to other people, if they still want to leave, it is fate." After all, they have been together for so many years, and they deserve this money, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"Alright, I'll gather the people, you wait a moment." Leo stomped his foot hard, and the mechanical prosthetic collided with the ground with a loud sound.

Nearly an hour had passed, and Morningstar had gone over the wild vegetables he had picked before he saw Leo again. Leo's face was a little ugly, but this was also expected by Morningstar, some people are like this, they can share hardships, but it is difficult to share happiness, but this is all good, compared to those who can share happiness but can't, they are already good.

Morningstar didn't ask much, got up and walked over to Leo and asked, "Your brothers who accompanied you on the treasure hunt should still be there, right?" ”

Leo nodded and replied, "I've already arranged it, and they're waiting for you in the room on that side." ”

"You go and get busy, it's a lot of trouble to split up, I'll just go by myself." Morning Star walked to the room where Leo had guided him, leaving Leo sighing to deal with the rest of the matter.

There were five people in the room, ranging in age from their early twenties to gray hair. Seeing Morningstar walk into the room, one of the men who was about the same age as Leo stood up, took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Morningstar, thank you for your help, not only bought our things, but also provided us with shelter, we will definitely do our best to repay you!" ”

Morning Star shook hands with the other party and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, I'm also a warrior, I don't pay so much attention, to be honest, the money spent to buy stones is still paid by my girlfriend, I'm still worried about how to pay her back!" ”

Morning Star's words eased the atmosphere in the room a lot, they are also warriors, although they belong to different forces, but this identity has also brought their relationship with each other a lot.

"What do you call you, Brother Leo hasn't told me your name." Morningstar asked.

The middle-aged man first introduced himself: "My name is Thompson, and Leo and I have been friends since childhood, climbing trees and digging birds' nests together, going down to the river to fish together, and then committing an accident together, dragging the family and escaping for many years, and luckily surviving to the present!" ”

A tall young man with eyes behind Thompson stepped forward and said, "Hello Mr. Morningstar, my name is Rose, I am a mechanic in Brother Leo's team, and I met Brother Leo in Earl Luke's guard and became brothers. ”

The young man named Rose in front of him made Morningstar ring Ben, the botanist, the same man with eyes and the same courteous manners, Morningstar still remembers the first time he cooked for them, Ben gobbled it up. In just a few months, it was like a lifetime away, and I didn't know that after the Alpha 137 incident, those people were still fine.

After giving Rose a smile in return, Morningstar looked at the young man who had been sitting on the sidelines. When the young man saw Morning Star looking at him, he jumped up from his chair and said excitedly, "My name is Brooklyn, and I am also a warrior!" It was the orphan that Big Brother Leo saved back then! Mr. Morningstar, you are the legendary butcher of the Alpha 137, right? I've seen that battle video of yours, it's just so cool, can you teach me? ”

Brooklyn was about the same age as Morningstar, but that curiosity was like a studious child, Morningstar nodded, and replied: "If you want to learn, I won't hide it, but you have to know that this road is not easy to walk, I was forced to practice by the old man from the beginning of being able to walk, and I can barely use it until I am seven or eight years old, and the shadow step is not easy to learn." ”

"I have perseverance, even if I learn seventy or eighty, I have to learn!" Brookley shook his fist and swore an oath.

A powerful big hand grabbed Brooklyn's neck from behind, lifting him into the air like a chicken, a burly figure appeared in front of Morning Star, the muscles on the exposed body were entangled, and the height of more than two meters made Brooklyn look like a doll in his hands, the two big axes hanging from his waist were sharpened to shine, and then looking up, there was a pair of tiger eyes on a big round face, the beard on the chin was erect, and there was a murderer.

Dahan didn't rush to introduce himself to Morningstar, but said to Brooklyn: "Still learning seventy or eighty? Who doesn't know that your purpose is to learn to seduce a girl, and when you reach your seventies and eighties, will there still be a girl looking at you? ”

Brooklyn hung in the air and kicked his legs, shouting and replied, "Li Kui, you bastard, let me down!" When do I learn to shadow walk, see if I don't beat you! ”

The big man put Brooklyn down and stepped forward to stand in front of Morning Star.

"Your name is Li Kui?" Morningstar pinched his chin and asked with interest.

Dahan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to introduce himself, but he was called by the other party first, and replied in a sneering manner: "Ah, yes, my name is Li Kui, and I have long forgotten my previous name, and then I gave myself such a name, mighty?" This is the name of a hero of the ancient times of your Republic. ”

Morning Star looked Li Kui up and down, then raised his hand and punched him on his bulging abs, and replied, "It's very similar, it's really similar." ”

Li Kui's invisible action made Li Kui very happy, stretched out his palms the size of a fan and hugged Morning Star's shoulders, pointed to the old man with white hair on the side, and said, "This is Mr. Vic, it's our brain, Brother Leo will ask him anything." ”

The old man stood up and walked up to Morning Star, and said with a smile, "My lord, I am Leo's big brother, and I used to be a soldier of Earl Luke's guard. ”

Morningstar stretched out his hand to shake Vic, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder these people can follow Leo to flee for many years without betrayal, and it can be seen from their words how high Leo's prestige is in their hearts, and even introduce themselves with Leo, hardcore brothers.

After a few brief pleasantries, Morningstar turned the conversation to the true purpose of the trip.

"I heard Brother Leo say that you all went with him into the temple. Although Brother Leo told me about the process and gave me the photos you took, I still want to hear from you if there are any details that Brother Leo overlooked. ”

Brooklyn became excited again when he heard Morning Star's words, and just wanted to say something, but was slapped by Li Kui and said, "Don't talk, it's all said that you are a fantasy in your head, don't mislead Brother Morning Star." ”

Brooklyn didn't support Li Kui's words this time, and shouted with an unhappy face: "Look at you, you haven't believed me all along, I just said that I saw it at the time, and you all said that you didn't see anything, how is this possible?" That picture is a holographic projection, and it appears right in front of us, don't you see? ”

The other four people in the room looked at Brooklyn and shook their heads in unison to indicate that they really hadn't seen it.

This scene intrigued Morningstar, who asked, "Brooklyn, tell me what happened?" ”

Seeing that Morning Star believed his words, Brooklyn raised his eyebrows and walked to Morning Star's side and said: "I took the stone from the altar, and the moment the stone left the altar, a holographic projection appeared in front of my eyes, which is quite strange, and in the projection are seven stones that are very similar to the stone I took down, but you can clearly see that the patterns on it are all different." At the other end of the line was something like a base, and there were seven holes, and as far as I could see, the seven holes should be used to place each of the seven stones. ”

"Seven stones, and containers? Is that all? Morningstar asked thoughtfully.

Brooklyn nodded and replied, "Well, that's all, the image lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared." ”

"Did you feel anything out of the ordinary happening?" Morningstar looked at Brooklyn and asked.

Brooklyn thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I really remember when you said that, when I took off the stone, there was a piece of green energy flowing on the wall opposite me, but after the projection appeared, this energy stopped there, and it didn't continue to flow until the projection disappeared, and I thought I was looking away, right?" ”

Morningstar smiled and patted Brooklyn on the shoulder and said, "That's why you can see the projection and others can't." Only those who take the stones ......"

Before Morning Star could finish speaking, Brooklyn interrupted Morning Star with a thump of his chest, and said, "I see, I understand what you mean, time has stood still!" Oh my God, why did I sell such a big opportunity, my legend, can I regret it? Mr. Morning Star. ”

Brooklyn's tearful eyes were awakened by Li Kui's slap, rubbing the back of his head, Brooklyn glared at Li Kui angrily and said, "What are you hitting me for?" ”

Li Kui replied angrily: "Is your little body still legendary?" Don't dream. ”
