、、、、、、、

After the group defeated the sea thief, their mood was much more relaxed. And knowing that the proprietress of this hotel is the pirate "Dragon Sword" himself, Shangguan and the other four people also rummaged around the hotel, and soon found some blue potions in a drawer under the counter, these things like magic potions in the game, Shangguan felt very strange, and after showing it to Zhuang Lulu, the old man sniffed it, patted his thigh and said: "That's right, this is the antidote." ”

Although he didn't know what the basis for this old man's judgment was, Shangguan still chose to believe this old man who had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years. According to Zhuang Lulu's instructions, they washed these potions and boiled water in a ratio of one to four, and then slowly gave some to each of the poisoned people, and after another half an hour, everyone was able to get up and move freely. It was only then that all the adventurers let out a sigh of relief.

When they returned, they no longer dared to row across the blood-red lake, and one by two summoned the mechs, and if they did not, they were crowded into the driver's compartment of the "organic people", and soon flew to the big ship that had come to meet them. After the group got on the boat, they were quickly summoned by the captain to a large conference room.

The leaders of the forces took their seats, and then a middle-aged man wearing a thick black coat and a red nose walked in. He slapped the table happily and said, "Friends, I am very grateful to you for killing the Great Sea Pirate Dragon Sword for me. It seemed that he was also the organizer of this "Dragon Slaying Operation", and after a pause, he asked again: "I want to know, who is the person who killed the Dragon Sword this time?" ”

Everyone turned their attention to the Cai brothers, and Shangguan said in time next to him: "It's these two brothers surnamed Cai." ”

The red-nosed boss nodded, showing a happy look to the Cai brothers, and he was also very happy about this action. Almost a week ago, the pirate King Funk brought him a small stack of cards, saying that as long as you are patient, there will be many mercenaries who will come for this card and kill the pirate "Dragon Sword" that you have always wanted to do. He has always been skeptical of Feng Ke's words, but he didn't expect that today, these brothers who came out of all corners of the world really solved this seemingly impossible task.

Therefore, he was quite proud, and according to the prior agreement, he took out a stack of cards from his trouser pocket, black and white, and put them all on the table.

When the mercenaries saw this, their eyes lit up. It's the cards they've always dreamed of, and each card represents a chance to make it to the roster of 40 people, especially with a few black cards.

The rewards for this quest are so rich, it's no wonder that the Great Pirate Dragon Sword is also so strong.

In the eyes of everyone, the Cai brothers did something even more surprising. They pushed the stack of cards in front of Shangguan and said, "Brother Shangguan, if you don't bring us out this time, we won't be able to complete this task, so this reward will be given to you." ”

Shangguan exclaimed: "If you don't use it, even if you sell it to them, it's worth a lot of money." He pointed to the leaders of the other mercenary groups present and said.

Cai Ping smiled and said, "If you want to sell it, you can sell it to them yourself." Cai Zhong also continued: "That's right, we came out this time, mainly just to be able to complete the task of exiting the customs, you took us to complete it, and we can go around on adventures in the future." That's the biggest reward for us. ”

Moreover, for an adventurous person, the process of liking the adventure itself is the greatest enjoyment and reward. If an adventurer takes risks for the sake of treasure or for something as empty as wealth or fame, it is too small.

After seeing the other party's sincere eyes, Shangguan knew that what the Cai brothers said was not a kind word, so after thanking him, he put away the stack of cards. With this action came the eyes of all the mercenary leaders, and everyone present knew that if anyone could snatch the cards before the end of the last day, Funk would recognize him as their owner.

The relationship on the field has changed dramatically, and Shangguan has changed from a big hero who saved everyone to an incompetent little sheep with about 10 cards in his hand and is very likely to be devoured by everyone......

Although Shangguan's experience is not rich, he can still distinguish this kind of naked eyes. He wondered in his heart that he was going to keep a black card and give the rest of the cards to everyone in order to beg for his safety...... It is still necessary to fight for it and let these ungrateful guys all know the difficulties and retreat.

Hard, it's really a hard decision.

Then, at that moment, a hand slapped on the table where everyone was.

This hand is wrinkled, but it is extremely powerful, extremely stable, and most importantly, it has a dark moon printed on the back of its hand.

In this world, there is only one person who has such a lifelike black moon printed on the back of his hand.

And this person is the weapon doctor, Zhuang Lulu.

Zhuang Lulu stood up, his gaze swept over everyone's eyes one by one, and it was only then that they recognized the true identity of this old man who didn't seem to know anything. They were all silent, and some of the younger ones bowed their heads slightly, as if they were embarrassed.

Zhuang Lulu said: "I don't care what you thought before, from now on, from this moment on, this young man is my Zhuang Lulu's person." If you want to touch him, it will be like touching me. "His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear and steady, with an emotion that couldn't be disobeyed.

His hand slapped lightly on Shangguan's shoulder, and Shangguan felt his whole mind settle down. He turned his head and looked at Zhuang Lulu, who had a lot of wrinkles on his face, and showed a grateful expression.

Zhuang Lulu nodded slightly to Shangguan, it was a look that was not easy to understand.

Under the care of Zhuang Lulu, a fierce man, the mercenary captains of these other forces didn't dare to have any more plans, so they all stood up one after another, and then left the conference room one by one. When the "Bronze Sword" and Alice passed by Shangguan's side, Shangguan gently pulled the two of them, and when the others had left the meeting, Shangguan took out two white cards from the small stack of cards and quickly handed them to the two of them.

Both of them were holding a white card, and both had surprised expressions on their faces. Alice said, "This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”

Well, this foreign beauty's Chinese level seems to be good, and even the kind words of the Chinese are so authentic and standard.

Shangguan smiled slightly and said, "This is the 'meal fee' for your lunch." Looking at the rather surprised expressions of the two, he could only change his words and say, "I think that if it is a friend, then it should not be so polite." He stuck out his tongue, as if he was laughing at the other party's lack of humor.

At this moment, the "Bronze Sword" and Alice nodded slightly, and after a good conversation, they put away the card and left gratefully.

After everyone left, the old man Zhuang Lulu sat on the table in front of Shangguan for the first time, and said with a smile: "Say, who are Shangguan Hong, and why is his body in your hands." ”

The natural posture of this old man sitting on the table instantly reminded Shangguan that he was all Gu Qiaos. Now, I don't know where that guy has gone......

But this is not the time to be nostalgic, Zhuang Lulu's old man is staring at Shangguan with his eyes, waiting for him to answer his question. Shangguan rarely attracted so much attention, and it was not very comfortable now, he touched his right hand that was already goosebumps, and carefully observed the old man's expression.

Zhuang Lulu's face is a "unpredictable" look, as if everyone who has reached this age has learned not to show their emotions to others at will, such a disgusting thing......

But fortunately, Shangguan didn't feel the murderous aura on Zhuang Lulu's body, and with this little bit of encouragement, he smiled and said, "He's my father." ”

In four simple words, the story of Shangguan and his father has been described. Zhuang Lulu, on the other hand, took a long breath and slowly exhaled it. Obviously, this answer was not what he expected.

After a while, the old man's mood seemed to stabilize a little, and then he suddenly said, "Well, if you really have it, you must have a son." Your micro-just now is beautiful. ”

Although this kind of words are also words of praise, Shangguan has heard similar words all the way, so his ears are completely numb to listen, and he doesn't feel much. But the old man's next sentence attracted him deeply.

Zhuang Lulu just said in a very gentle voice: "But the 'ability' of the ghost soul, why didn't you use it just now?" ”

Yes? Could it be that this old man knows the "true ability" of the ghost soul?

As soon as he heard this topic, Shangguan immediately sat up straight, he thought about it, stood up again, put his hands directly on the old man's shoulders, and asked excitedly: "Old man, do you know the 'ability' of this body?" Please be sure to tell me. ”

Zhuang Lulu's eyes emitted a light that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
