Chapter 268: Origin
Strange nursery rhymes, and the brisk rhythm floated out of the window, and everyone in the room listened to it and listened to it with inexplicable tremors, as if a cold wind was blowing, and the temperature around them dropped suddenly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dario licked his dry lips, "Boss, isn't Lu Wen the missing shoemaker?"
"How can these kids joke with his name and not be scared at all?"
Rodin walked straight over and pushed open the window, and looked down from the third floor, only to see five pigtailed children in the open space near the hotel, holding hands, humming songs and turning in circles happily, their ruddy little faces overflowing with innocent smiles.
Behind the child, rows of low, rudimentary mud and stone houses lay out in a jagged row, with uneven dirt roads, gray tiles, cracked yellowed walls, and wisps of smoke wafting from chimneys.
A faint desolation lingered.
"Brother Rodin, don't pay attention to this group of children for now, you said there was a problem with the mirror, but we didn't find it at all?!"
"Be patient Chekov, Brother Rodin must have his point, and the methods of the Bronze Power are beyond the reach of you, a reckless man. ”
Rogers said that, but he was also curious.
"Brother Tiger Cicada, you shouldn't have found any clues in the room. ”
"Nope. ”
"Then it's better to go to the owner of the Silver Pine Inn and find out the origin of this mirror, I think it may be some kind of witchcraft creation. ”
"Witchcraft creations, in this kind of country town?"
Magani couldn't help but reach out and rub against the smooth mirror. As a hunter, you don't know the magic of witchcraft. You must know that the tool to capture evil spirits that you bought with a lot of money last time is one of them, but it hasn't come in handy yet.
"I trust the judgment of the Rodin brothers, what are you waiting for?"
Downstairs, except for the guy who wiped the seats, the fat boss Thompson slipped away without a trace.
Rodin waved him over.
This is a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a young face.
"Dear lords, Master Thompson has just gone out on errands, and he won't be back until the afternoon. ”
The young man bent down and bowed his head, genuinely afraid. In the eyes of ordinary people, the force is synonymous with mystery and strength, especially now that the power of a team is all staring at him with blazing eyes, the terrifying oppression instantly makes him breathless, and cold sweat breaks out on his forehead.
"Don't be nervous. Young man, let's have a casual chat, what's your name and how old are you?"
"I ...... My name is Curry and I just turned sixteen. ”
"Oh, how many years have you been working in Silver Pine?"
"It's been four years, my lords, the little man has been working in the hotel since he was twelve years old, and thanks to the help of Master Thompson, this job is more earning than that of a farmer. ”
Curry said, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"The last time the shoemaker disappeared, were you on duty?"
"That's right. ”
"Tell me what the situation was at the time. ”
A short time later, Curry breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This group of powerful people seems to be quite easy to get along with. The boy let go of his tense mood and couldn't help but start matching the fierce man in front of him with the righteous characters in the knightly novels he had heard before.
Gradually, there was a little yearning in his eyes, "I wonder if I, a humble little person, have a chance to be as high-spirited as the master of power?"
The teenager's account did not provide additional information, and Rodin casually remarked, "Thompson takes the furniture in the luxury suite very seriously. ”
"Of course, these pieces of furniture are twenty or thirty years old and older than me. In particular, the mirror is probably antique. ”
"Oh," Rodin's heart moved, "I personally like the style and style of those furniture, and I don't know where your master bought it." ”
"I didn't buy it!" the boy blurted out, "It's all Master Thompson who moved directly from the former mayor's house." ”
"How do you know that when the hotel first opened, you were still in swaddling clothes when the furniture was moved?"
The young man saw that everyone was listening attentively, and he was secretly proud in his heart, "The powerful old man is also willing to listen to me, which is much kinder than the sheriff who has no one in his eyes!"
"I heard from the elders of the town. Once the old man was drunk and showed it off to me. ”
"Can you be specific, I really like it, no, I love this piece of furniture. With encouragement in his eyes, Rodin patted Curry on the shoulder affectionately. The young man immediately turned red as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the excitement in his tone could not be contained.
"I don't know the exact origin of your furniture, and Lord Thompson has always kept it secret, and he will certainly not say it, but you can go to Grandpa Calaf on the east side of the town, he is the oldest in the town, and he knows everything about the town. ”
"Very good!" said Rodin, "Curry, you have done us a great favor! ”
Rogers cooperated and handed over ten Marelli, but a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed in the young man's eyes, and then he turned firm, and fell to his knees in front of Rodin with a "bang".
His voice trembled slightly, and he said, "Master Force, I don't want money, can I ask you for something!"
The six Tiger Cicadas suddenly looked at Rodin with strange expressions, they never expected this young man to suddenly play this game.
Rodin's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he touched the shallow stubble of his chin with interest.
"You're in luck, I'm in a good mood right now, let's talk about it. ”
The young man raised his head and looked at him stubbornly, "My lord, I'm ...... I would like to ask you how to become a ...... A good powerhouse!"
"Snort. Dario on the side couldn't hold back, and laughed directly, "Curry, look at the appearance of your thin arms and legs, Uncle advises you, the world of the force is not suitable for you, let's take the money, be honest as a buddy, don't be delusional." ”
Not to mention Curry, a teenager who doesn't know anything about the power of bloodlines, even the members of their tiger cicada want to ask Rodin, a bronze powerhouse, for advice, but they haven't been together for a long time, and they can't say it because of their face.
Curry's expression darkened a little when he heard this, but his eyes were still full of anticipation.
"Please, adults, to become a powerful person, to see the world outside the town, this is my dream since I was a child. ”
"Alas. Rodin sighed and folded his arms on his chest, "The powerful are not as dashing as they seem, we have to face difficult environments, all kinds of monsters, injuries are commonplace, and we can't tell when we will lose our lives, and everything will be over." ”
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family. Don't get too attached. ”
"I ...... I am an orphan. ”
"I'm sorry, but I still can't promise you. ”
Curry hung his head in a dejected manner, his clenched fists unable to let go.
"I ...... I understand, I'm sorry guys, it's me who is too self-conscious. Heh......"
"Let's go, guys, let's go to Calaf first. ”
"Well, I'll listen to you, Brother Rodin. ”
Everyone rushed out of the gate of the Silver Pine Hotel one after another, but Rodin slowed down and fell to the end.
He looked back at the young man who didn't belong in his eyes, and grinned.
"Curry, during this time, we are staying in Silver Pine, you can come and ask me at night!"
"Ahh......h Are you serious?"
The young man's mood suddenly rose from the abyss to heaven, and for a moment he was dumbfounded, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Well, remember just these days!"
"Also, call me Rodin. ”
