"Tro Ling?" Jiao Ming asked in confirmation, but shook his head after receiving an affirmative answer. "Evan isn't something that can be fooled by a simple fool, I guess nine out of nine are in vain. In any case, the ransom is a thank you two. ”

"Within the Wizards' Guild, the relationship between master and apprentice is also similar to the direct kinship in the aristocratic system, which is as it should be. Emily said indifferently.

Binglian also gave a similar answer.

Jiao Ming realized that behind this calmness was the unresolved contradiction between the two daughters, if they were alone and chatting about the same topic, the atmosphere would definitely not be like this. Then the root cause of the contradiction may not be as simple as guessing the 'little awkwardness'.

And just as Jiao Ming was thinking about what to do, there was a commotion downstairs, but it was the crocodile duke and others who rushed back. As a junior, naturally he can't wait like an 'uncle', Jiao Ming and Binglian got up, while Emily said goodbye directly, and disappeared without waiting for Jiao Ming to stay. On the way downstairs, Jiao Ming couldn't bear it anymore and asked what happened to Binglian after that night.

"It's nothing, I wasn't very calm at the time, just a few words. ”

"It's not that simple, is it?"

The elders who came were not very calm and pulled the shelf. People who have not been baptized by aristocratic education sometimes tell the truth without concealment, so ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiao Ming still asked, "Although it's a little inappropriate, I still want to ask you." Do you think it's possible to reconcile this? I'm really not good at that. ”

"I don't know. But whether to reconcile or not, in fact, there is not much difference. It's never possible for Master Emily to be too deeply involved with the crocodile collar, and she will always have a one-way relationship with you in the future. ”

Jiao Ming nodded, put it on hold for the time being, and talk to Emily alone when he has time. The next greeting process is simple and straightforward, just eating. After that, there was a conversation, although Jiao Ming assured that the technique was fine, but the crocodile duke didn't believe it at all, and directly asked Binglian to use the method of 'soul group chat', and this is indeed the safest way.

In the white mist, three figures appeared. The crocodile duke didn't waste any time, and directly turned his head to signal Ice Lotus to explain the situation, and Ice Lotus gave a brief summary of the previous text, and then said the plan for the future.

“...... Because we pretend to be punished, we can't show our faces for a while. There are two options, either to practice magic in retreat or to leave the Crocodile Realm. Alternate locations include island dwarven tribes found by the fleet, as well as the territory of the Jim trio, or even whatever you like. Of course, the family wants us to cultivate well, but I personally recommend visiting the island dwarf tribe, not only to develop new markets, but also to see the situation of the gods' pet beasts. ”

"The location you choose, but what about the time?"

"It depends on the speed of the Xu Qin people. When some people taste the sweetness of industrialization and have the determination to defend the industry at the cost of desperate efforts, we can show up. ”

This reason is very simple, Jiao Ming instantly understood. If the benefits of industrialization are compared to tobacco and alcohol, as long as the kingdom of the Xuqin people is addicted, even if they find that the crocodile leader's actions are suspicious, it doesn't matter. Because the slightest suspicion threatens to shut down the factories that have begun to make large profits, no king can do this without bloodshed. And as long as there is a disturbance, no matter what the reason is, the crocodile collar will achieve its goal.

"There should be an appointment. I have a lot of things to do here, but I can't afford to delay too long. ”

Binglian looked at the crocodile duke and replied, "It's really impossible to estimate, but it should be about the same in midsummer at the latest." Until then, it was only possible to command remotely. It can be given to Rose, Xia Feng, or someone else. And the crocodile collar ......"

"Full cooperation, of course. I'm looking forward to the surprises you keep coming up with. The crocodile duke smiled.

'Things after that are inevitable to be shocked, but happy but not necessarily' Jiao Ming thought so, frowned for a moment, had a new plan, and asked, "With my qi magic ability, it should be no problem to come back secretly." ”

"To be on the safe side, this is not recommended. Duke Crocodile shook his head.

"If you have a plan, you can say it, how about we come up with a compromise together?"

"Further experimentation is just a matter of sudden need for some unexpected materials. ”

There is always a lot to do on the road to the goal, and there is no reason to stop at one time and one place. Jiao Ming had several research projects after a simple calculation, and instead of leaving them to become a stumbling block to development in the future, it was better to take this opportunity to try.

"How about a short distance transmission of the materials listed in the letters?"

"Although there is no direct access, it is acceptable. Jiao Ming nodded reluctantly. But I finally saw that the main purpose of this conversation was to persuade the target to be himself, and the father and daughter played two roles respectively. It's just that Ice Lotus's partiality is already quite obvious, and it has a bit of a taste of partnering with the crocodile duke.

The matter was settled, and the crocodile duke signaled to disperse this 'group chat room', but Binglian hesitated: "Please wait, there is something my daughter wants to ask for clarification." ”

"What's the matter?" the crocodile Duke asked rhetorically.

"During my captivity, Kven Ans told me many things. Some of it has been told to you, and some of it has been hidden in my heart. Before leaving, I want to ask for clarification, otherwise I will feel uneasy. ”

"Just ask. ”

"About Grandpa...... Just these words, Binglian paused slightly, confirming that the crocodile duke was in a calm mood before continuing: "...... Cven Ans tried to show me that they weren't rumors. ”

"If you want to ask anything, just ask directly, parents and children are one, there is no need to beat around the bush. The crocodile duke replied indifferently, but glanced at Jiao Ming.

And Jiao Ming, as a son-in-law, overheard some content, and already felt a little embarrassed, and after this look, he automatically wanted to avoid it. But I am not sure if breaking free will completely interrupt this soul communication.

"Why don't you let me out first, and you can talk slowly. ”

Binglian didn't mean this, but said: "This matter should be well known to the older generation of the crocodile leader, but everyone doesn't mention it." So what does it matter if the husband knows the truth or not. And it seems that the facts are already clear, and I am more curious about why. ”

The crocodile duke nodded, did not dwell on Jiao Ming's question, just groaned a little as if organizing the language, and then slowly spoke, directly revealing a secret.

"Well, let's talk about it. In fact, your grandfather will also use this secret method of soul communication, and even use it better than you. ”

"Really, grandpa, he can also see the state of the soul?" asked Binglian in surprise.

But he didn't hear about it. Duke Crocodile shook his head and continued: "But the item of group communication, according to your second grandfather, is that it can be done since childhood. But it seems that because of this, after entering the Eighth Ring, he saw some strange things from the inheritance skull, and in two years, the whole person became abnormal. You can check this with the second grandfather of the northern castle, or the remnants of the older generation. ”

The young couple looked at each other, and Binglian asked, "Can you take a look?"

The crocodile duke nodded and stood still, while the ice lotus operated. In the middle of breathing, the surrounding white mist condensed and colored, turning into a stone chamber in the northern castle. Jiao Ming recalled for a moment, remembering that this was the remote room where he had been forced to do martial arts practice that summer.

At this time, in the room, two men were practicing martial arts, the older one was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the younger one was only ten years old. The two are very similar in appearance, and even people who don't know each other can guess the relationship between father and son in an instant.

The man who seems to be Grandpa Binglian has a depressed face, as if he has been drained of the empty shell of his soul, but as a sparring partner, he is completely absent-minded. The young crocodile duke is like a little tiger with endless energy, constantly being knocked over and kicked, but constantly regrouping and rushing back.

Jiao Ming is not very interested in this kind of training like 'domestic violence', but he notices the age gap. Early marriage and early childbearing are common in this world, and the difference between father and son is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the crocodile duke and the ice lotus are abnormal.

"I think back for years, and this seems to be the only time your grandfather mentioned everything a little. ”

With the words of the crocodile duke in the phantom state, the training in the field was stopped, and the grandfather of the ice lotus squatted down, looked at the young crocodile duke with a blue nose and swollen face, and slowly spoke.

"Our ancestors have given us a way to live, but I can't find a way to get there. ”

"Huh?" the young crocodile duke was completely confused.

"What do you think of our defection to the Ifusen theocracy?"

"This ......" the young crocodile duke was stunned again.

"Hehe, just talk about it, and fight again!"

The memory scene continues, but it is the same as before, except that Binglian's grandfather is more serious, and the young crocodile duke is more miserable.

Duke Crocodile stopped his memory and said slowly: "From now on, your grandfather's temperament has changed greatly. This led to the final outbreak of contradictions, and until he died in the last battle, your grandfather never said anything like that again. As for this last battle, now that I think about it, it was actually your grandfather who released the water, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to beat him. ”

"Can you take a look?" asked Ice Lotus tentatively.

"Next time. Duke Crocodile shook his head, depressed.

Jiao Ming's eyes signaled, although Binglian was not very willing, he didn't say anything more. Everything came to an end, and the soul exchange magic was dispersed, and the crocodile duke returned to the room without saying a word, and the voice of Lady Purple Feather was faintly heard. On the other hand, Jiao Ming and Binglian are preparing to pack, and the departure time is set before dawn tomorrow.

The next day, on the island where the children were 'training for survival in the wild', the vine teleportation circle was quickly repaired, and Jiao Ming invited Emily again to temporarily strengthen the vine circle into a portal, and sent the group of children home with an average of a few shades darker. And in the end, Xiao Shi heard about the general situation, but she hugged Jiao Ming and didn't let go, and she had to go together to see the 'God's pet beast' that seemed to be a giant dragon in the West.

Jiao Ming agreed after a little hesitation, looked at Master Emily, and asked, "Do you still need to hide from Vice President Sasu's fundraising?"

"It's long gone. Emily replied with a roll of her eyes.

"Then I'll take my sister on vacation to the island dwarves. ”

Emily waved her hand, and the spatial passage was slightly rudimentary but spread. "If one day the Crocodile Collar doesn't welcome you, you can come to the Wizards' Guild to find me. ”

"Probably not. ”

"The world is unpredictable. ”

"Then thank you master for taking it in. ”
