Chapter 52: The Brothers' Wall (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Gu, I heard that you have encountered something recently," Merlin looked at Gu Cheng, "I know you are more afraid of trouble, so do you want me to help you suppress things first this time?"
Looking at Merlin's serious expression, Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Is it so well-informed?"
Then remembering the identity of the person in front of him, Gu Cheng was not surprised, "That's fine, then I'll trouble you this time!"
In the face of getting along with each other in the past month and Merlin's help now, whether it is out of the sincerity of a friend, or if he has other intentions or something, Gu Cheng has this affection in his heart, after all, people are really helping themselves, and this is enough!
Gu Cheng doesn't have too much self-esteem, so he has to solve the problem by himself, and if someone is willing to take action, he will naturally save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, in today's world, although Gu Cheng now has teleportation skills and enough hole cards to waste, Gu Cheng still doesn't want to easily become an enemy of the world unless he has to.
In less than a year, the Otherworld will be connected to the Earth Star, and now it is showing too many inhuman abilities, and it may be a big bomb again.
In fact, even if it was a previous treatment potion, Gu Cheng didn't plan to make a move, but at the beginning, Gu Cheng also needed some money as the cost of more than a year when the Otherworldly Rift appeared, and after becoming a professional, his physical strength increased, so he naturally had higher requirements for nutrition in his diet, and the cost was greater.
If it weren't for the fact that the gold coins of the dark world were only a special metal in essence after they were revealed, not gold, otherwise Gu Chengdu planned to melt them directly and sell the gold.
Seeing that Gu Cheng did not refuse in the face of his help, Merlin was also quite happy.
Then, Merlin reached out and took the box in the hand of the waiter behind him and put it in front of Gu Cheng's eyes.
In Gu Cheng's puzzled eyes, Merlin opened the box.
Inside the box is a small golden Buddha, with eight arms on all sides, wearing a crown on his head, holding lotus flowers, soup spoons, kettles and prayer beads, and other items, on which the smell of incense is strong.
"This statue ......"
"Gu, don't people from your country always bring some gifts or something when they come to your friend's house? ”
Merlin said, and then stretched out his right hand and gestured, "Of course, I need a little help from you this time!"
"I said, why are you so polite," Gu Cheng reached out and took the box, and then looked at the so-called little help that Merlin gestured with his thumb and forefinger.
"So what?" Gu Cheng said, "How do you need my help?"
"Gu, you must know that I have an older brother, right?" Merlin sat there, lost in his memories of the past.
"We have a very good relationship since I was a child, no matter what I do, he will accompany me, and he will take the initiative to resist when I get into trouble. Until one time, because I was willful enough to go on a so-called expedition, and I ran out secretly. Merlin closed his eyes and rubbed his right hand slowly on the sides of his temples.
"That time, when we shook off the guards and ran into the deep mountains and old forests, that time, he was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save me. Merlin paused, then continued, "Although he was later saved, he could no longer stand on his legs. ”
After a while, Merlin continued, "The two bottles of healing potions I got earlier had to be tested before being used by the elders, so I took one of them and tested them.
However, it seems that such a bottle of healing potion can only be used once, and a part of the potion is taken from the test, but only the part of the test is effective, and the rest of the potion will quickly evaporate and disappear after the part of the test takes effect.
As a result, my brother's plan to ask the elders of the family for the rest of the healing potion has come to naught......"
"A flask can only take effect once, no matter how many portions it is divided into, there is still and only one potion will take effect. Dividing the potion into several portions will make the potion worse and worse, but there will be no other changes. Gu Cheng said.
Gu Cheng understood a little in his heart at this time, why Merlin came over this time.
Sure enough, then Merlin said with an embarrassed face: "Gu, the thing I want to ask you for help this time is related to this, I also know that this is a bit abrupt, but I still want to say this reluctant request, that is, ......"
"The bottle of healing potion that was given to you before is the last bottle of potion that can be sold, but if you really need it urgently, I can keep the potion for myself ......" Gu Cheng didn't wait for Merlin to finish speaking, and then took over.
"You really still have that kind of healing potion!" Merlin said with a look that he already knew, "I said, how could someone who could sell such a magic potion not keep some for his own use." ”
Then Merlin waved his hand, and there was still the sadness on his face, "Gu, but you thought wrong this time, I didn't want you to sell me another bottle of healing medicine!"
Seeing Gu Cheng's somewhat confused appearance, Merlin continued: "I mean, even if you still have the potion, I hope you don't sell it to my brother......"
In the gazebo in the courtyard, Gu Cheng looked strange, and there was a long silence in the air.
Merlin then slowly explained, "Do you know why it's me who has been in the spotlight all along, and not my brother?"
Without waiting for Gu Cheng to answer, Merlin continued: "Because he is only an illegitimate child, and an illegitimate child is not qualified to inherit the throne of my lion country.
But coincidentally, in my generation, there are only two boys, him and me, so that means that if something happens to me, he will be the next king of the Lion Kingdom. ”
Looking at Gu Cheng's eyes with a little shock, and the three views were completely refreshed, Merlin smiled: "Don't you feel surprised and unbelievable? I was even more surprised than you when I first understood this."
Why did he fool around with me since he was a child, and then resist all the blame? Because he wanted others to know that he was an excellent, responsible and responsible brother, and I was just a wayward child who only knew how to mess around.
Many of the thrilling things I have done since I was a child were the step-by-step temptations and temptations he made through a waiter beside me.
I asked the people around me to arouse my interest in various ways, arouse my competitive spirit, and then increase the danger I encountered through a little arrangement when I went out with me.
It wasn't until that cliff that was deliberately blocked that I vaguely understood why all this was going on.
That's why when he deliberately lured me to go on an expedition through the waiter, I accepted the plan of the expedition that seemed very unreliable.
When I was lost in the mountains and forests, when I watched him take out the poisonous snake he was carrying secretly and put it down next to me, I knew that I no longer had a brother.
This is the sorrow of being in the royal family. ”
Gu Cheng looked at Merlin in front of him, didn't comfort Merlin anymore, just patted him on the shoulder, and replied: "Merlin, then I think you shouldn't have to worry about this, because the potion I gave you before is the last bottle of potion left!"
When Merlin heard this, he collected his mood, and a smile resurfaced on his face.
"Thanks, friend!"
......
After coming out of Gu Cheng's house, Prince Merlin instructed the waiters beside him: "Go and book a plane ticket immediately and return to China!"
In the living room, Gu Cheng was thinking about the news that Merlin said before leaving.
"Is it the Zhao family again? It seems that this is treating yourself as a soft persimmon. Looking at the time displayed on the clock on the wall of the living room, "Still no response......?"
