Chapter 32: The Unknown Guest
Nicole watched the tree fall and didn't move, and she was stupefied.
"Watch out for the kids!" the nameless man yelled, his sword stirring, and a large tree was rolled into sawdust.
"Flame Curse!"
Ah Gu waved his hand and released a fire in the sky, burning the sawdust to ashes, and at the same time rushed to Nicole's side, holding Nicole in his arms.
The owner of the restaurant was already frightened, and in the blink of an eye, such a big tree had disappeared.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Only then did Nicole react, knowing that she was scared, and cried out with a "wow".
Ah Gu gently stroked Nicole's head and kept comforting.
The nameless guest looked at Nicole and Agu, and did not take the opportunity to sneak attack.
He could see that Agu's feelings for Nicole were not adulterated.
"Thank you just now!Go away!Help me keep a secret, I won't kill you!" Ah Gu said.
What secret?
Anonymous is confused, aren't you an assassin sent by the Durant family?
"How do you explain to your family when you go back?" asked the nameless guest.
"Family, what family?" Ah Gu was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the nameless guest at all.
"Aren't you an assassin sent by the Durant family?" said the nameless man suddenly.
"Who is the Durant family? I haven't heard of it at all!"
Then the two of them stared at each other for ten seconds.
"Then why do you have the Durant family badge for your baggage?" the anonymous man continued.
"Earl Durant sent me! I'll help him get his grandson back!"
The nameless guest suddenly thought of something: "What's your name?"
"Bone!"
The nameless guest's face suddenly became excited: "You are the hero who single-handedly repelled the demons and left many children!"
What Ah Gu did in Ice Grass City has long been spread throughout the city.
Ah Gu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hero or something, it's really ......"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I misunderstood! I saw the Durant family badge on your baggage, and I thought you were an assassin sent by the Durant family!"
"This ...... Actually, I also misunderstood, and I thought ......" Speaking of this, Ah Gu did not continue to say.
How do you say that you are an undead?
The anonymous customer took out a gold coin: "Shopkeeper, I'm remaking a table of wine and food!"
When the owner of the restaurant saw the gold coin, his eyes suddenly lit up: "No problem with the guest officer, you wait a minute! It's good right away! Cook, cook, cook!"
"Not afraid of danger, fighting the demons alone, saving so many children, your story has long been a household name in Ice Grass City!"
When he said this, Ah Gu was embarrassed.
"Don't say that, I was just going to save my daughter, those things can only be regarded as accidents!" Ah Gu said a little embarrassed.
"In any case, repelling the Great Demon will have an important merit for the entire Ice Grass City and even the entire continent, if this demon is allowed to obtain the entity, its strength will be greatly increased, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Come, I will toast you!" The nameless guest picked it up, opened the mask a slit, and drank it all.
Ah Backbone laughed twice, and while the nameless guest was not paying attention, he poured all the wine into his sleeve.
"I'm a little curious! You're so powerful, why don't you show your true face?" asked Agu.
The nameless guest's body shook slightly, and he let out a bitter laugh: "Since you ask so hero, I won't hide it! When I was young, my family changed dramatically, and my face was burned by fire, so I better not look at it, so as not to lose my appetite!"
The nameless guest's tone was very flat, but Ah Gu could hear that there was a strong inferiority complex in his heart.
At the moment, the anonymous guest told the story of what happened when he was young.
The grudge between himself and Count Durant.
Ah Gu was silent, he didn't expect that the amiable-looking old man would do so many crazy things.
"In the end, I killed his grandson and destroyed his whole family...... You say, 'I'm really right?' the nameless man asked in a deep voice.
No matter how he explained, he couldn't hide the fact that he had killed an unarmed four-year-old child.
"Of course yes!" Ah Gu slapped the table and shouted, "I read in the book that everything in the world follows cause and effect! Count Durant has such a result because he planted the cause himself." Back then, Count Durant killed your three-year-old son with a sword, which can be said to have indirectly killed his own own grandson. You pat your conscience and say, if he didn't kill your son, would you kill his grandson?"
"Of course not!" said the nameless man firmly.
Speaking of this, he remembered in his heart that he was only a three-year-old child, and his heart was like a knife, he grabbed the dead wine jug and poured it twice.
"No matter how sad you have been, time will always erase everything! The most important thing is how to choose the future!"
"The future?" the nameless guest looked up at the long sky.
Suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.
For more than ten years, the resentment in my heart has disappeared with this long laugh.
"I understand! I understand! I think, even if my sister knows something, she doesn't want me to live in pain every day!" The nameless guest suddenly became arrogant: "Come, drink, let's get drunk today!"
Ah Gu was speechless for a while, why did he drink more and more?
"What a wise man you are!" exclaimed the nameless guest.
"I ...... That's it!" Ah Gu hurriedly picked up his wine glass to hide his emotions, if he told the unknown guest that it was all his own foolishness, I don't know if he would vomit blood.
"By the way, why don't you show your true colors? Of course, if you have something unspeakable, you can say it?" said the anonymous guest.
Ah Gu was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Are we friends now?"
"Of course, you're my best friend, as long as you don't blame me for climbing high!" said the nameless guest proudly.
Ah Gu's heart trembled, since his resurrection, he has never had a friend.
"That'...... I'm sure you'll help me...... Keep this a secret!" said Ah Gu cautiously.
The nameless guest listened to what Ah Gu said so seriously, and sat upright: "Don't worry, this secret will not be told until I die!"
The nameless guest was very curious, what secrets did Ah Gu have?
"Sleep!" Ah Gu pointed at the restaurant owner, and the restaurant owner fell asleep!
If there was a heart, Ah Gu must have been hit by a fawn by now...... Well, that word doesn't seem to be the right word, but that's what it means.
He stretched out his black-gloved hand and lifted his hat little by little, little by little.
When the nameless guest saw Ah Gu's appearance clearly, he was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue, pointed his finger at Ah Gu, and couldn't speak!
"Are you...... Necromantic ......"
"Don't say it!" Ah Gu whispered.
The nameless man poured a glass of wine, but didn't drink it: "I didn't expect that." You're ......"
"Why, won't you kill me? I remember that everyone on this continent hates the undead so much!" asked Akura.
The nameless guest smiled bitterly: "Let me slow down! Let me slow down!"
He originally thought that he was already very miserable, but he never expected that the good friend he had just met in front of him, let alone his face, would have no place to be.
After a while, the anonymous guest said slowly: "Since my family has changed dramatically, I have traveled to the mainland, and I have gradually discovered a truth. ”
"Well, what's the truth?" asked Agu.
"People, sometimes, are more terrible than demons and monsters!" the nameless man whispered.
Ah Gu thought of Dean's mother, knowing that her son's body had been invaded by demons, but she was still willing to help demons kill so many children.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, I think that there are few opponents in kendo on the mainland, but I still can't understand people's hearts!" sighed.
"Would you like to be my friend, then?" asked Aku.
The nameless guest took off the mask on his face, his face was covered with scars from the flames, and to be honest, it was ugly, but the smile on his face was gentle.
"Of course!
"That's a drink!" Ah Gu picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth without hesitation, and the wine flowed all over the ground.
The nameless guest also drank it all, but his heart was warm, he never dreamed that one day he would become good friends with a skeleton.
......
The next day.
Ah Gu walked with the nameless guest, and the nameless guest still put Nicole in his stomach, and the nameless guest saw this method of taking children for the first time, and his expression was extremely strange.
"Brother Bone, where is your final destination?" asked the nameless guest.
Ah Gu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, take Nicole around, it's best to go everywhere you can go again, and when Nicole grows up, I'll brag to her!
The nameless guest laughed dumbly, but he didn't have a destination, so let's go along!
"By the way, I'm going to Icefish City now, I heard that the cod in Icefish City is very delicious, although I can't eat it, but Nicole can eat it, after eating, tell me what it tastes like, I'll just make up for it!"
inexplicably revealed a sense of desolation.
"Then we're going to have to hurry, it will snow heavily in three days at most, and the speed of the journey will be affected!" said the nameless guest.
"Well, how do you know that it will snow heavily in three days? You are not a fairy!" asked Ah Gu suspiciously.
The nameless guest smiled proudly: "Actually, it is not necessarily only gods who can predict the weather, my master has taught me some ability to observe the sky, and I can roughly predict the weather!"
"Awesome, awesome, can you teach me?" said Ah Gu as he glared at a pair of black fire eyes.
"Of course, it's not a secret method, if you want to learn it, I can teach you at any time!" said the nameless guest generously.
As he spoke, the nameless guest took out a worn-out book from his baggage.
On paper, these four vague square words.
"Heavenly Genius"
