Verse 143: Nothing
"My lord, the villain dares to remind you that President Zidi's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Fat Tongue said.
"Birthday?" Needle Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised, he didn't expect that Fat Tongue was going to say this.
The fat tongue shrugged his eyebrows and sighed, "The little one followed the previous elder a long time ago. I watched Miss Zidi, from birth to learning to walk, and then growing up little by little. β
"The elder has always regarded Miss Zidi as the pearl of his palm, and he dotes on her. As long as it is Miss Zidi's birthday, the old president will hold a birthday party for her, no matter how big or small. In fact, as the size of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce gradually increased, and Miss Zidi got older, her birthday party became more and more grand. β
"I still remember that when Miss Zidi was 11 years old, that birthday party, the whole Garden City became a sea of joy, and the Garden City Lord even came to bless her. That was when my Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was at its peak. β
"The old president spent a lot of money to invite the famous pastry master to make a birthday cake for Miss Zidi, which is 11 layers high and colorful like a rainbow. It is made with many cherished magical ingredients, and eating it will make you feel the sweetest taste in the world. And each layer of cake has a different effect. Some can increase people's magic, some can make people feel high, and some can make people attack more. Even after a few months of birthday partying, rainbow cakes are still being talked about. β
Fat Tongue said this, his eyes flashed with remembrance.
But soon, this light was extinguished, and the tone of the fat tongue became heavy: "After the elder had an accident, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was also torn apart, and no one remembered Miss's birthday party anymore. β
"In the past two years since Miss took over as president, we have repeatedly proposed to hold a birthday party for Miss Miss, but Miss has refused. β
"I think it may be that the young lady is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, thinking of the elder. β
"But now it's different. β
"Lord Needlegold, now you are by Miss Zidi's side. You are a Templar with a deep divine affection, you are the sole heir to the Hundred Needles family, and you are Miss Purple Di's fiancΓ©. With you, everything will be fine, and the future of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce will be bright. The young lady will also be happy. β
"I want to ......"
"Don't say more. Taking a deep breath, he approached Fat Tongue, patted the latter's shoulder, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for the reminder, you are right, and I understand all my intentions." I'll surprise Zidi by throwing a birthday party for her. She deserves it!"
"That's great, my lord, thank you so much, thank you so much, my lord. Fat Tongue hurriedly thanked him, showing his loyalty to the old president and the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the back of the fat tongue leaving, Needle Gold fell into reflection again.
"Am I being too focused on myself these days? I seem to be so immersed in my own world that I lose sight of the people around me. β
"No matter how much trouble I have, how can the people around me ignore it?"
"I'm a little bit selfish in doing that. β
The thoughts of the needle began to diverge because of the mention of the fat tongue and because of his own reflection.
"Looking back on this journey, I was rescued by Zidi, and under the attack of the fire bee, she was willing to cut off the queen for me. β
"I fought to the death for her in the monkey-tailed brown bear's cave, and she did her best to heal me. β
"When Huang Zao asked for help, she gave me advice. Huang Zao betrayed herself and escaped alone, and she accompanied me to face the vicious blade spider together. β
"It's the pink potion she invented, which can mark along the way and help us find our way. β
"We ate mutton by mistake and suffered from the erosion of magic, and it was she who discovered the truth and detoxified everyone. Without her contributions, we would all be stuck in one place today, unable to explore freely. β
"It was she who forged the hole in the ground with potions, and maintained many of her companions in the sandstorm. It was she who developed the acid potion, resisted the siege of the green lizard, and successfully supported me to come to the rescue. β
"When we were chased by the scorpion and completely depleted, she was still by my side, curled up, facing the coming of death, and never separated from me. β
"It was her potion that drove away the bat monkeys, and it was her potion that dealt with the fire bees. If these two threats exist, the camp defense battle will definitely be a crushing defeat or even annihilation for the Terrans. β
"It was her potion that corroded the metal and helped Muban make a steady stream of bows and crossbows, and in the early days of shipbuilding, it was also her potion melting that allowed us to have a large amount of iron. β
"Without Zidi, I would never have gotten to where I am today. β
"Her credit is really too great, but she's never shown off. She took the initiative to stand behind me, willingly, she was leaving me the most central position on the stage, so that I could carry the adoration and love of everyone. β
"She has been silently supporting me, and she has never objected to almost all my decisions. The only time I did it, it was because I was too worried about my safety!"
Needle Jin kept reflecting, recalling the bits and pieces of his relationship with Zidi, and a sense of shame quickly grew in his heart.
The young knight decides to have a birthday party to treat and comfort Zidi.
Purple Di definitely deserves it.
The credit she has made is enough to shut everyone up.
However, when the needle gold began to prepare, it was noticed by Zidi.
She is the current president of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and she is very shrewd.
"Don't do that, sir. I've received all of your thoughts, and that's enough. β
"It's so inappropriate to have a birthday party. β
"There is likely to be an army of Warcraft hidden around us, a mysterious and suspected gold-level terrifying Warcraft. β
"Our food reserves have been declining, and shipbuilding has people working hard and consumption is not keeping up with replenishment. β
"And the drinks. We only have rum, and the number of bottles is very small, which is not enough to support the next voyage to the Wild Continent. β
Alcohol is needed for sailing.
Because of sailing in the sea, it is difficult to obtain fresh water replenishment. The water stored on the ship, due to the limited storage technology, will soon develop green spots, bacteria and caterpillars.
The fresh water smelled so bad that it was hard to swallow, but the seafarers had to drink it.
At this time, wine is needed.
Alcohol can cover up strange smells, and at the same time, it can also have a certain sterilization and disinfection effect.
So, sometimes, the sailors get drunk, and it's not surprising.
Zidi strenuously opposes a birthday party, even though Needle Gold says she needs a reason to boost her morale. Recently, rumors about terrifying monsters have spread throughout the valley, making everyone panic.
Zidi's refusal was very resolute, which made Needle Gold aware of Zidi's empathy, and at the same time, it also made him even more ashamed.
A thought popped into the young knight's mind - "Perhaps, in the first time, I did it wrong. I shouldn't have tried to hide it from her, I should have told her about the changes that had happened to me. β
"I didn't want her to worry at the time, and it turned out to be the way it is. β
"If this continues, I will become more and more unable to speak, and the misunderstanding will become deeper and deeper!"
"Perhaps, I'm too proud. β
"I don't want her to worry, but in addition to pity, I still feel that even if I tell her, I can't solve the demon core in my heart. β
"I don't think she can do it, why?"
"All the while, Zidi's potion has helped me and helped others so much. β
"Perhaps, she really doesn't have the ability to solve the heart core and the mutation. But of all the people around me, who can best accept this truth, accept my ugliness, and tolerate my sins? β
"It must be her!"
"It's my fiancΓ©e!"
Thinking of this, Needlegold's eyes became brighter and brighter.
It was as if he had found a glimmer of light in the darkness, and like a drowning man grasping the grass on the shore with one hand.
The pressure in his heart was too great.
Carrying secrets and sins makes it difficult for him to face the people who worship and love him.
He wanted to speak out.
He wanted to talk.
He longs for someone to share with him, for true recognition!
"Purple Di, Purple Di, ......" Needle Gold gently called in the bottom of his heart.
But he still couldn't speak.
"There needs to be an opportunity. The young knight realized this.
The next day.
Far from the valley, he crossed a distance of 50,000 meters to the edge of the territory of control.
A huge beehive, hanging high above the trees.
This is the hive of the fire venom bee, which was discovered by accident using ultrasound detection.
Before starting, the needle carefully used ultrasound to check to make sure that there was no one around, and then he took action on the fire poison bee colony.
He lit a bonfire and released potions, which formed oil smoke.
The fire poison bee swarm poured out of the nest and was defeated one after another under the fumes. The Warcraft-level fire poison bee also has no way to take the needle gold after the mutation.
On the night of Zidi's birthday, Needle Gold arrives alone at Zidi's residence.
"Happy birthday, Zidi. Needle Gold smiled, and pulled out a bowl full of thick, amber-like honey from behind him.
Zidi covered her mouth, surprised and delighted.
"Thank you. She looked up at the needle gold, her tone full of affection, and her beautiful and boundless amethyst eyes shone with emotion.
"Although there is no rainbow cake now, I have tasted it, and the honey is also very sweet. "Needle gold road.
Zidi's face changed: "My lord, you have eaten honey, it is poisonous!"
"Ahh β
"Maybe adults don't taste it much. It contains the essence of fire poison, and if the dose is increased, even the gold level will be damaged. Zidi said quickly, and a look of self-reproach appeared on her face, "Blame me! I remember that there were no beehives around the valley, and my lord, it would be too dangerous for you to go on an expedition alone, even if there was a potion of oil fumes. β
"I'm willing to take risks for you!" blurted out Needle Gold.
"My lord!" Zidi glanced at the needle, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.
"Well, I'll admit I was stupid. I was reckless in doing so. I'll be mindful in the future. Needle Gold raised his hand in apology.
In fact, he was able to transform into a fire bee. It is precisely because of this mutation that he will take the initiative to taste honey. Fire poison honey is produced by fire poison bees, and honey is definitely harmless to fire poison bees.
Needle Gold reluctantly put down the honey.
Zidi walked up to the needle gold and took the initiative to take the young knight's hand.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has taken such an initiative.
She stared deeply into the needle's eyes and said softly, "Thank you." β
Needle Gold shook his head, looking at the bowl of honey, a little deflated.
Zi Di turned her eyes and suddenly said, "Thank you for the cake." β
"Cake?"
"Yes, such a big cake, made with non-toxic honey, don't you see?" Zidi let go of Needlegold's hand and gestured with her hands on her chest, drawing a cake shape in the air.
Needle Gold couldn't help but laugh and follow Zidi's words, "Oh, of course I saw it. The cake is very large, and it is divided into several layers, which is a bit like a rainbow cake. β
"No, it's only one layer. Zidi shook her head, "It's not like a rainbow cake at all." It...... Sweeter than rainbow cake!"
As she spoke, Zidi stretched out her slender index finger and poked lightly into the air, which seemed to be stained with a lot of cake cream.
She then gently put her fingers in her mouth, sucking motions, and her eyes narrowed, revealing a smile of joy and enjoyment: "It's so sweet!"
"Won't you taste it?" she stared at the needle.
Needle Gold shook his head amusedly: "Thank you for your comfort......"
His words were choked as Purple Ty reached out her index finger, poked the air again, and put her finger in Needlegold's mouth.
Needlegold's mouth was gagged, and he subconsciously sucked on Zidi's fingers.
But Zidi withdrew his finger, and he couldn't help but nostalgically say, "It's so sweet......"
He stared intently at the purple-eyed girl in front of him, and his heart pounded and beat faster.
"It's really sweet. The young knight made a similar motion, dipping his fingers in the air, sucking it for a moment, then reaching out again, making an arc in the air.
"It's your birthday, please eat more. Needle Gold held his finger to Zidi, and his finger seemed to be stained with large chunks of cream.
"Wow!" Zidi made a fierce gesture, her mouth opened wide, and she suddenly took the finger of the needle gold.
"It's delicious. Zidi mumbled as she mischievously bit down on Needlegold's fingers with her teeth.
Needle Gold breathed heavily, and a large flush swelled up on Zidi's face, and the latter quickly let go, and Needle Gold stared at Zidi more affectionately, and took the initiative to take a step forward.
In this way, the distance between the two is only about a punch.
The atmosphere of the cave becomes beautiful.
Needle Gold took a deep breath and gritted his teeth slightly: "Zidi, there is one thing ......"
Roar!
The next moment, there was a sudden noise and commotion outside the cave.
"Crazy!"
"Stupid big guy is crazy!!"
"Come on, man, he's going to kill. β
Needle Gold and Zidi's faces changed suddenly, and they immediately rushed out of the cave.
The needle gold was faster, and he took the first step and came to a small clearing in the valley.
He saw the big man roaring wildly, his eyes red, and a mast in his hand, sweeping around him frantically. Some of those who didn't have time to escape were lying on the ground, some with pools of blood under them, and some were snorting.
"My lord, come and save us!" Another group of people were trapped in the corner, and they hurriedly called for help when they saw Needle Gold.
The cry for help irritated the big man, and he slammed the broken mast into the survivors.
But the next moment, Mango arrives and knocks the mast away with a bone hammer.
The needle gold was faster, like a sharp arrow, and rushed directly at the big man.
The big man slapped his chest, roared angrily, and flew into the gold.
Needle Gold was proficient in martial arts, and with just a slight move, he dodged the big man's pounce and jumped onto his back.
The big man was struck on the back of the neck with a palm of gold, and the big man rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.
"Saved!" the survivors cheered.
"Kill him, kill this monster!!" Soon, hatred and anger filled everyone's hearts.
Those who are wounded, and those who have not suffered, are all in one voice.
"No, don't, I beg you, forgive him for my sake. The shipwright's face was full of anxiety and he prayed aloud.
"Did you see that? These are all good things that your son has done!"
"We've been busy for at least a week. β
"He's too dangerous, we've done this before on the ship, and we've been around him, we've been trembling. β
"Who knows when he's going to get sick again? It's terrible! He's a huge hidden danger. β
"You see how much he eats every day? Without him, we wouldn't be strained for supplies. β
"Kill him!"
"It's not enough to kill him, he was our companion after all. We can expel him, exile him. β
Everyone talked about it, and they all wanted to dispose of the big man.
"That's enough!" exclaimed, his face sinking like water, "he was our companion!
'He's sick and we all know that. The shipwright told us a long time ago. β
"He did cause damage, but thankfully, none of us died. He destroyed a lot of ship equipment, he ate a lot of food, but his contribution far outweighed his claims. There is no doubt about that!"
"Why did he stay on the ship and live with other people for so many years? β
"Why can't we?"
"I won't give up on anyone easily, let alone a patient!"
"He's not a monster!"
"He's not!!"
"He's our companion...... A patient. It wasn't his intention. β
He had never shown such a stern attitude.
Everyone was stunned by him, and the audience was silent.
Zidi rushed over at this time, and Needlegold's face softened a little, and he assigned everyone to clean up the place, sort out the damage, and ordered people to take care of the wounded, including the big ones, of course.
After dealing with all this, more than an hour has passed.
Only Needle Gold and Purple Hair remained, and the two walked side by side.
"I don't know what to do about the big man's illness. "I'm not a doctor, in fact, according to the boatwright, he's been trying to treat big men in the past, but all the doctors have been helpless. The shipwright has even hired a priest with a lot of money and used magic on the big men. β
"We have to think about this one of the dangers. If the ship is half built and the big man suddenly goes crazy, the damage will be unimaginable. β
Needlegold remained silent in the middle of the night.
When they were about to get to their residence, the two faced separation.
"By the way, my lord, before...... What are you going to tell me?" asked Zidi.
Needle King paused, then turned slowly, the corners of his mouth grinning a little, and then spoke.
"Nothing. β
ps: The update is a little late, but I still think the 5000-word chapter is a little more rhythmic and can write a complete plot.
In addition, the typos in verses 56-141 have been corrected, and there are many places where the language expression is not fluent and clear, and adjustments have been made according to the opinions of readers and friends.
