Chapter 56: Robbery by the way
Normer looked at Dawn, who pouted innocently, and didn't believe it at all.
A girl has a bad memory?
Her terrifying memory comparable to the world's top crystal memory ball, even the trivial things that happened one afternoon more than ten years ago are clear, as long as she has read the books, all the details can be remembered exactly right, what is unforgettable, a glance and ten lines and other praise idioms, it is not too much to say that it is specifically to set off her talent, if even her memory is not good, then I am afraid that there is no person with a good memory in this world at all!
As for the forgotten rhetoric, it is even more nonsense, just a few hours ago, the two discussed the topic of when to start, and Dawn also said that she also had signs of imminent breakthrough, and now it was replaced by the statement that she had inadvertently completed the advance as early as the headquarters of the mercenary group, which really coaxed Normer as an old man in his seventies and eighties.
To put it bluntly, the girl is talking nonsense in a serious way.
Normo smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't try to expose the girl's excuse, where did he not know, such an important thing as advancement, it was impossible for Chenxi to forget, the reason why he did this was purely to take care of his own feelings, so he deliberately did not say that he had completed the promotion to a middle-level soldier.
He has long been accustomed to the situation that the girl is one step ahead of him again, and he can't say that he has been hit or anything, but the girl is still very considerate of his emotions. Besides, it wouldn't have any bad effect on the fight with Ivan Stipild anyway, and it wouldn't be a big deal if Dawn didn't say it in time.
Scratching the tip of Chenxi's small nose as a "punishment", Normer glared at her carefully, only to laugh helplessly at her kindness again. It's just that he always has to rely on his sister who is stronger than himself to suppress the guts, and Normo, who is a man and an older brother, always feels embarrassed, and secretly admonishes himself to redouble his efforts to practice, otherwise he really can't raise his head when he says it.
Dawn is smiling like a flower, Normer successfully completed the promotion during the war, she sees it more important than her own, and hums the hometown tune with great interest, and her delicate voice sings a beautiful melody, graceful and refreshing, making people feel as if they have returned to the green mountains and green waters of Di Wanling, and they almost sang a song to celebrate.
The two were in a good mood and began to pack their things.
After a whole day and two nights of fighting, I didn't eat a good meal or sleep a good night, and now after the victory, my whole body relaxed, and the feeling of exhaustion immediately filled my body, and what I wanted to do most was to chew a lot, take a hot bath, and sleep beautifully. Just worried about Plitander's safety, Normer decided to pack up as soon as possible, and set off for Manny Foster City to find the old butler who had broken off to feel at ease.
It was not as good as deliberately going around in circles when they came, and the two of them on the return trip chose to take the shortest road as much as possible, and it didn't take long to find the path in the woods, and then followed the path to the main road, standing on the hill and looking down at the sunrise, the iconic spire of the city lord's mansion in Manny Fog City, Dawn and Normer looked at each other and laughed.
"Find Uncle first, and then go back to the city for breakfast!"
Normer proposed, the dust and dust, before he could even care about the repair, to save Danice, so that Chenxi did not forget to take a good bath, and then taste the food of the city The little wish was not fulfilled, and he always felt that all these troubles were caused by his own kindness, and the young man was very guilty.
"Yes, yes. ”
Chenxi didn't think about this, as soon as she heard the proposal to go into the city for breakfast, the girl immediately expressed her approval like a chicken pecking rice, and went out to the present until now, she has not even eaten a decent meal, how can she not complain as a first-class foodie?
The two of them hurried back along the road, and as soon as they were halfway there, they heard the roar of a fierce beast at the corner of the road, and the sound was either an ordinary bear or a more powerful beagle bear, but the cry was quite strong and dry, and at the same time hoarse, it seemed to have a little sadness of pain and helplessness.
As soon as they reached a position where they could see the situation clearly, Normer and Dawn smiled happily, and a stout beagle stood up and yelled at an old man, two stout and sharp claws opening their bows from side to side, desperately trying to scratch and scratch each other.
The old man who fought with him was extremely flexible, with more dexterous movements than ordinary young people, in addition to dodging at close range, he also used the staff in his hand to hit the weak parts of the beagle bear's body from time to time, such as the armpits, knees, buttocks, etc., one by one, and beat the fierce beast whose strength was comparable to that of a second-level soldier to howl, very helpless and pitiful.
If you look closely, there are tears flashing in the corners of Beagle Bear's eyes, and he looks unlucky to be bullied. Judging from the size and swiftness of his movements, this beagle bear is basically an adult, and his IQ is about the same as that of a human boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
Needless to say, the old man who could be so bold and successful in teasing the Beagle Bear was none other than the old magician that Normer and Dawn were trying to find, Uncle Plitander.
"Uncle, we're back. You old man take it easy, don't overdo it, you really get scratched. ”
Normer hurriedly greeted the old butler.
Seeing the boy and Dawn returning unharmed, Plitander smiled, and walked briskly towards the two of them without looking at the sturdy bear.
The beagle bear, who was annoyed that he had gone out early in the morning and didn't look at the yellow calendar, which had caused a very unsmooth foraging journey, saw that the difficult old man took the initiative to leave, and immediately fled into the dense forest in a panic.
Normer couldn't understand the bear's language, and couldn't feel its grievances, in fact, the bear wanted to run away many times, and each time it was blocked by the old housekeeper, and then circled back to the same place three or two times, and then continued to beat, the so-called momentum just now, If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't learned the basic communication movements and expressions of human beings, maybe the teenagers would have come back a few minutes late, and they would have seen a stupid bear bowing and begging for mercy with tears in his eyes.
If it weren't for the old housekeeper's reluctance to do more senseless killing, but just teasing on a whim, if it weren't for the fact that Dawn was tired of eating barbecue prey in the wild, it would have been worn from head to toe at this moment, hanging on the bonfire, roasted golden and dripping with grease.
Not to mention the beast that easily escaped the doom of the "Roast Bear", as soon as Plitander, who approached here, looked up and down, he congratulated the boy and Dawn again and again, congratulating them on successfully reaching the intermediate strength.
Knowing that the kind old butler was extremely powerful and had a unique vision, Normer and Chenxi were not surprised, and said a few words modestly, caring about the situation after Plitander's farewell, the girl took the old butler's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Xi'er has advanced to the sixth level so quickly, what does the uncle say?"
Plitander rolled his eyes helplessly, smiled wryly and spread his hands: "Miss is from an extraordinary background, her family is rich, what good things can she have, and she can get into Miss's eyes? ”
Chenxi pouted, and shook her head with a serious expression to express disbelief: "I don't care, anyway, uncle just has to show it." I know you have a lot of good things hidden in you, so just take some out and deal with it, and I won't pick it. Then the girl directly spread out her palm and stretched out: "Don't be stingy, bring the gift." ”
The old butler showed a helpless smile to Normer, and when it came to true feelings, the innocent dawn was like his daughter, and in the face of the girl's public robbery, he had no choice but to admit it.
Reaching into his arms and groping, Plitander muttered to himself, and after a while, he took out a small beautiful conch shell and handed it to Dawn and said: "This is a gadget that I accidentally found by the 'Endless Sea' when I was young and wandering, and it was infused with a simple spell, 'Ice Whirlwind', and I wanted to keep it as a memorial. If the young lady doesn't dislike it, she will take it with her to play. ”
Chenxi took the little conch handed by the old butler with both hands, and gracefully blessed him slightly, and expressed his gratitude very obediently.
Don't look at the simplicity and lightness that Plitander said, the Endless Sea is in the extreme west, the notoriously harsh environment and unpredictable climate, the sky is gray in the morning, it looks like more than ten degrees below zero, and when the sun rises at noon, the temperature suddenly drops to minus forty or fifty degrees, which can instantly freeze people into ice sculptures, and it is too late to escape.
In the extreme environment, most of the animals living there are strong, brutal and fierce, the conch in the hand of the dawn seems to be small, but the shell is colorful and beautiful, the texture is also very exquisite, the sun shines underneath, the ambilight is colorful, crystal clear, like a piece of ingenious crystal ornaments. However, as the saying goes, "when things go wrong, there must be demons", it is not a reasonable thing to live in such a beautiful and delicate little animal in the bitter cold place, and the strong strength of the little conch can be imagined before its death.
The old housekeeper said "unintentionally", I am afraid that in fact it took a lot of work to get it, and now I will give it to the morning light as a gift, and the girl is not a child who does not know the height of the sky, so she naturally wants to formally express her gratitude.
Plitander casually told Dawn about the spell that unleashed the "Ice Whirlwind", as well as the techniques and characteristics of using it.
When the girl heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled from ear to ear.
Normer on the side was speechless, the old butler sent out casually was really not ordinary, this small conch shell was actually a very precious magic weapon, officially it should be called a conch, in addition to being able to release the second-order water attack spell "Ice Whirlwind" In addition, the most rare thing is that it can be recycled, different from the usual storage of spells of various containers, the conch has a very rare self-recovery function, every time after the release of the spell, it can absorb the water elements existing in the surrounding environment, replenish the storage in its own circle, about a quarter of an hour, can be filled with the water element energy needed to attack again.
To put it bluntly, as long as the battlefield is not located in a special place where natural water elements are scarce such as deserts and Gobi, the girl holds this conch in her hand, which is equivalent to having an inexhaustible "Ice Whirlwind", which is a second-order attack spell that is like a fake, regardless of its attack range and lethality, just this extremely rare self-replenishing water element function, the actual value of the conch is more than a thousand gold kon, and it is priceless, and there is no place to buy it.
The old housekeeper is really powerful, and he has a lot of money! It is such a treasure casually, and it deserves such a formal blessing as Chenxi, no wonder the little wealth fan smiles so brightly.
"There are really no good things that can be used as a gift for the young master. After being robbed by the girl, Plitander looked bitter and apologized.
Normer hurriedly waved his hand and said again and again that there was no need, "If my sister has it, I have it, thank you so much for the gift from my uncle." ”
Dawn carefully tied the conch to her belt, and with such a beautiful little ornament, the girl looked even more dazzling. The boy took her by the hand, and told Plitander what had been going on for the past two nights.
The old butler couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard Ivan Stipild squint and break an arm: "The 'big stupid donkey' has become a 'one-eyed dragon with a broken arm', and it will not be the young master's opponent in the future." ”
"Hmph. What kind of 'one-eyed dragon' is he, at best, a 'one-eyed worm'!" the girl took over the conversation and bluntly expressed her disdain for the commander of the city guard.
Normer and Plitander both laughed, strategically flouting the enemy's guiding ideology, but Dawn understood and implemented it quite well.
Amid laughter, the three-man team that had resumed its full strength marched towards Manny Fork City, walking briskly.
