4.86 Pique's important decision on
Thanks to Yan Zhiying, suyict1j, wind and rain 012 monthly pass, and benzene Xiaohui for their appreciation-
When he woke up, he saw Peake's concerned and frightened face.
"Pique?"
"Al!"
The two teenage friends looked at each other and smiled, and they sighed in unison.
"Slag wurm?" Even if he only said the name, the horror on Pique's face was a little more terrifying.
"Hmm." Al nodded slightly, "I was swallowed by it. ”
"Oh my God...... Peake swallowed, "and how can you still escape." ”
The more Al thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "Three keys: first, the tightrope is stuck between his teeth; Second, the length of the wire cable was just enough to hang me on the acid surface, and third, it sneezed, and you pulled the wire right ......"
After thinking about it, Al added with a smile, "There is also the python skull and the thick felt cloth that stuck in me, which are also essential keys. ”
Boom! Peake swallowed and fell to the ground.
Lying side by side with Al, staring at the dim sky for a long time, Peake suddenly spoke: "Al, I have decided. ”
"What?" Al is still feeling guilty and ashamed of hiding the secret of the ring from his friends.
"I'm going to complete my bar mitzvah." Peake said almost through gritted teeth.
"That's a lot of money." Al asked casually.
"Yes, it's going to cost all my savings over the years, as well as the money I won from betting." Pique's eyes were red. "It's heart-wrenching though. But at least I won't regret it. ”
Al didn't know exactly how much money Pique had saved. That must be a very large number.
Seeing that his friend didn't speak, Peake turned his head and asked, "Do you know why?" ”
Al shook his head unsurprisingly. Pique stroked his flamboyant hair and said very seriously: "Because I don't want to die or be a place. Man! ”
Al was stunned for a moment, then understood what Pique meant. "I'm sorry, Pique......"
"Alright!" Peake smiled, "I don't need your apology right now." ”
Pique leaned on his arm and said slowly: "Actually, El, when you were sucked down by the wurm, my first reaction was to run away. ”
Al didn't speak, it was the right choice for the goblins.
"But the moment I was about to turn and run. I thought about that experience in the valley of garbage. Although you didn't blame me afterwards, I blamed myself for a long time. At that time, I swore that I would never leave you alone again. ”
Speaking of this, Pique laughed again: "Hehe, although it was tough, but in the end I did it, didn't I." ”
"Thanks, Peake!" Al's nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears. The warm feeling in my heart is sincere friendship.
"But then again. What the hell is going on with you, why have you been in trouble lately? Peake groaned bitterly, "Al." You're my brother, you're my brother! Please, can you stop a little? ”
Pique's expression changed so quickly that Al couldn't react for a while, so he could only watch him perform stupidly.
"Al, have you been cursed by some witch doctor? Think about it, have you ever offended anyone lately! "I rushed to the doctor, and I really had to admire Pique's jumping thinking.
"No...... Al shook his head, and quickly made up his mind to tell his best friend the secret of the ring, "Pique, there is one more key ...... I can escape." ”
"Stop!" Pique's green face instantly turned green: "I, one, point, all, no, think, know, way!" ”
A few coincidences just now that could not be more coincidental had already made him tremble and unbearable. Still coming? I'm afraid that after listening to him, he will immediately explode his cerebral blood vessels.
Al was about to continue, but Peake covered his ears with his hands, and his head shook like a dazzling eye.
Al couldn't help but sigh, let's find a chance to tell him later.
Sure that there was no danger, the two quietly returned, and El reactivated the King of the Hill, picking up Pikna's severed arm and returning to the city.
Leaving the heavy blackiron walls behind, Al proposed as he entered the city, "Go to Daddy Kaba's mechanic shop." ”
Peake nodded, "Hopefully the driveshaft isn't damaged, or the plan will be postponed again." ”
Al didn't speak, but quietly touched his palm to the heavy chain on his chest......
"Kaba, how's it going?" Peake, holding on to the ladder below, anxiously waited for the mechanic's verdict.
Sticking his head with a mechanical eyepiece out of the broken shoulder, Kaba shook his head helplessly, "It's a bad situation. The stress transmission shaft and mechanical joints connecting the magic center were severely damaged; rupture of lubricant circuits and high-pressure steam ejection barrels; The telescopic assist stroke was pulled into a twist and completely lost tension...... Other minor breakages are too lazy to say. In a word, it must be overhauled. ”
"Overhaul? So, how much does that cost? "Peake was about to cry.
Kaba slowly stretched out his palm, "Conservative estimate, five hundred gold coins." ”
Thump! Peake's eyes darkened and he collapsed to the ground. was also torn off his arm, and the power of the slag wurm was much stronger than that of the earth-walking dragon.
Five hundred gold coins is Pique's entire net worth. If the money for the maintenance of Gao Lun had been paid, the coming-of-age ceremony he had been eagerly awaited would have been postponed indefinitely.
The red-haired goblin said to think again, and Kaba shrugged and pushed Gao Lun to the backyard warehouse to save it first. On the way home, Peake kicked the pebbles sullenly, and Al followed, trying to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak.
It seems that it is because of his own relationship that the current result has been caused.
"An apology without substance will only make the victim hate it even more."
Still from the god-lit goblin codex.
Destined to say goodbye to his friend in a heavy atmosphere, Al hurried to the hotel. He had a solution that might solve the high repair costs, but he wasn't sure!
After a hurried greeting, Al rushed up the spiral staircase and rushed to the door in one go.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" The old goblin looked at his panting grandson and said distressedly: "Good grandson, what's wrong?" ”
El rushed to the old goblin in a few steps. Suddenly something came to mind. Turn around and run back. Keep the door shut. Plugging in the latch, Al walked back to the old goblin and quickly pulled out the chain.
"Grandpa, do you think this is a gem?"
The old goblin subconsciously wiped his eyes, and he knew this ring well. "Al, if Grandpa hadn't had Alzheimer's, this ring wouldn't have a gemstone, and even if it did, it would have been a ruby."
Al smiled. "Grandpa was right. But please see, is this a gem now? ”
Under the pressure full of doubts, the old goblin took the chain and solemnly greeted the ring to the faint light outside the window.
After a long time, the old goblin sighed, "Although the quality is not high, it is indeed a topaz." ”
"Hooray-" Seven up and eight times the heart sank instantly, putting aside the worries, Al seemed to drink honey, and the beauty bubbled.
The old goblin stared at the little goblin with a smile on his face. "Al, tell me now." How did this amazing gem come about? ”
Al will tell the old goblin about what happened in the Serpent's Cave.
"What? Slag wurm?! The old goblin suddenly changed color, "It's awakened?" No, it's been a long time since the last long sleep......"
Although Al tried to speak in a relaxed tone about today's experience, the old goblin was still terrified. Patting his chest, the old goblin said in a deep voice, "Al, why did you go to the Slag Snake Cave?" ”
"Grandpa, I want to get some food." In front of the only loved one, there is really nothing to hide.
"Food?" The old goblin was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that this is how all the food you brought home these days?" ”
Al hurriedly shook his head, "No, all the people I brought back were circus food. On top of that, I need lots and lots of food......"
The old goblin didn't speak, he knew better than anyone else about the child in front of him. So instead of eagerly asking, I chose to wait quietly.
Sure enough, Al was quick to state his purpose: "The circus has raised a little girl, but they haven't fed her for a long time. So much so that she was so hungry that she even ate iron railings in order to fill her stomach...... "Thinking of the girl's situation, Al couldn't help but have a sour nose, and even his voice choked.
"Little girl eating iron railings?" The old goblin was keenly aware of something.
"Hmm." Al nodded emphatically.
The old goblin laughed, "Al, don't you think it's strange to eat iron railings?" ”
Elton drooped his head, "They said she ...... Also a freak. ”
Al used the word 'also', and the old goblin listened to it for a while.
Al was raised by calling freaks since he was a child!
At this time, the language had lost its effect, and the old goblin reached out to hold Al in his arms and give him a warm comfort, which was the best painkiller.
The old goblin who had broken his spine and felt the warmth and coldness of human affection could understand Al's mood very well. As a ridiculed outlier, he naturally developed a deep sympathy for the 'girl' and did everything he could to do something for her. Even if it only helped her a little, Al would be happy.
There is no point in blaming, and removing Al's knot is the most important thing at the moment. The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the old goblin immediately pointed to the ring on the table and smiled: "Good grandson, I think we have a way." ”
Al immediately understood what Grandpa meant, but his eyes that had just lit up quickly dimmed again, "Grandpa, Topaz can't be exchanged for food, it has other uses." ”
Al told Grandpa about Pique's need to repair Gaulen.
"I see." The old goblin suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten the most important thing. He cares more about Al's discovery in the dragon's womb than the little girl who wants to make his grandson happy.
"Good grandson, you said that when the core of the iron-spine python fused with the ring, not only did it release a pentagram, but you also got a mysterious rune?"
Al nodded, "It's weird, I swear I've never seen such strange words, but I can read them easily. ”
"Could it be...... Soul Inheritance! The old goblin's eyes lit up, "Quick, good grandson, write that rune." ”
Al had just picked up the pen when the old goblin grabbed his wrist. "Nope! Good grandson, you write the first sentence first. (To be continued.) )
