Chapter 11: The Old Goblin

"You two dead children, don't call me little Kra anymore, my name is Christo, Christo. Hearing the familiar noise, Christo, an old goblin who was napping on a chaise longue, jumped up from his chair and shouted loudly with his fists. But after a few screams, he suddenly let out a violent gasp from the armrest of the chair, and his straight waist slowly bent down, and a weak cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Christo stroked his chest and gasped for a while, then he barely managed to even out his breath, reached out and groped around the chair a few times, before picking up a cane to support his body, turning his head tremblingly and saying dissatisfiedly, "Damn, Kyle, I heard you, you've never done such a bastard thing before." ”

"Wasn't it quite energetic when I saw you before the auction for a few months?" Pannis looked at Christo's rickety back and slow movements, and had a very complicated feeling in his heart, sighed and walked over to support Christo and asked, "Why haven't you seen you for a few months, and you suddenly became like this?"

"I'm old. Christo sighed very calmly: "I can't think of it, it's like this when people are old, but I recently had a minor illness, and my body hasn't recovered yet, and I don't have any energy at all every day, and I can't breathe when I turn around in the yard a little, and I will start to doze off when I sit on a chair." ”

"Let's sit down and rest. Pannis said in a dry tone, "It's really ...... to see how you can fall at any time."

"It's ugly, hehe, I think so. Christo's once high-pitched voice has also become a little hoarse: "What used to be a few seconds to run through, now a few minutes of slow walking can't be done." ”

As if hearing the sound of talking outside, a little girl in a maid costume poked her head out of the room, looked out curiously, and then retracted her head.

"There's no way, I don't have the strength to do many things in the past few years. Christo shook his head and said, "I can only hire someone to help, clean the house, buy vegetables and cook, and receive guests." ”

"Have you never been married and married?" asked Pannis, sighing, "and now living alone?"

"Hehe, of course not. Christo's smile was a little stunned, as if he remembered something, and he looked at the sky for a while: "However, Odin asked his daughter to be my apprentice and take care of my daily life by the way." But that child is getting fatter and fatter, and even she has to be taken care of by others, hahahaha. ”

"Freya?" "Pannis, imagining Freya taking care of Christo, smiling, "She's sleeping with us now, do you want me to call her over to take care of you?"

"Do you dare?" Christo's eyes were a little cloudy, but still flashed with a cunning light: "I heard from two dead children, those girls don't know your identity, do you dare to expose it casually?"

Pannis was silent, and after a while, he sighed and said: "I'm afraid it won't be long before I hide it, once their legendary rank is stable, and it turns out that they can't see through my strength, they will naturally suspect the demigods, and then the range will be very small." ”

"You don't have to worry so much. Christo comforted: "Your situation is so special, no one would have thought that more than a hundred years later, you are not only alive, but also maintain such a young appearance." I guess in the imagination of normal people, even if you are still alive, you should be like me and Fira. ”

"Have you seen Fira lately?" asked Pannis, "how is he?"

"I saw it for the last time 10 years ago, when it was still easy to move. Christo recalled, "It looked like I was the same. That guy's time magic research is really good, and it has allowed him to live twice as long. ”

"Do you think it's okay to ask him for help with the Sands of Time?" Pannis asked, "He's an expert on this, maybe he has more clues." ”

"I'm afraid it's hard. Christo shook his head and said: "The last time I saw him, he couldn't walk anymore, and when he went to the laboratory, even if he had crutches, he had to rely on the support of the students to walk, and now he went to him for help, basically no different from letting him die directly, I suggest you don't look for him." ”

"Whew, everyone is getting old. Pannis looked stunned, looked at Christo blankly and said, "I really didn't expect it." ”

"Based on the way you look now, you're not qualified to say that. Christo waved his cane angrily and said angrily: "And think about what you have done, one hundred and nine years, you guy left us friends one hundred and nine years, you don't know where you were at the funeral of Carl the bear, you don't know where it was when the old shaman died for a hundred years, you still don't know where it was when our short-lived race grew old year by year." Do you know how much we want you to show up? the kind of day when everyone fights side by side, and everyone feels like it's going to happen again, and you, the organizer, are ...... Whew, forget it, I won't scold you, Nelly...... Alas, sorry, shouldn't have brought it up. ”

"Nothing, you're right. Pannis, with his eyelids down, said in a low voice, "These are indeed my faults, and I should apologize." ”

"Don't say it, don't say it. Christo cheered up and said, "But I'm glad you can come today, this is the first time since you came back that you took the initiative to go to us old friends." ”

"It was the first time on the prairie before. Pannis replied, "I saw Floral and Maya Tea, and by the way, the lion cub." ”

"Dilly, it's old, too. Christo smiled nostalgically: "I still remember when we worked together to write a story for publication, it dictated that I wrote a lot, I really don't know where it came from so many stories." However, you have met a few of them and come to see me, so there is something very important. ”

"You don't have to worry about anything else. Pannis narrowed his eyes and said, "Just leave it to us to solve, and you can rest at home honestly." But I have a task for you, the silver cipher disk, I asked Maya to get all three who know the whereabouts, and then I have three here, and the last one is in the hands of the Sea Clan, and we can get it when we complete their commission, so that all the parts are complete. ”

"So fast. Christo got up from the chair excitedly, and although his legs immediately went limp, he sat back down, but he still waved his cane excitedly and said, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”

"I guess you're in such a hurry. Pannis took out a cloth bag and stuffed it into Christo's hand and said, "Put these three here for you first, and they will send the other three to Maya in a few days, and then you can study them first, and then I will come back to you when I get the last one." ”

"Are those two dead children coming soon?" Christo asked with a strange expression, "I thought they would give it to you directly." ”

"Why, you don't seem to want to see them?" asked Pannis, curiously, "Don't you see each other often?"

"No, the last time we saw each other was on the old shaman's centennial day. Christo shook his head and said, "I haven't seen each other for almost ten years, and our communication is only through letters." ”

"Why? Puzzled, Pannis asked, "Are you arguing again?"

"What is there to say about the fact that we don't quarrel once. Christo said, "It's just that I don't really want to meet, you won't understand." ”

Pannis watched Christo fall silent. Goblins generally live around 170 years old, and occasionally some long-lived goblins can live up to 200 years old, but that's only a few. At this lifespan, Christo was very old, his once straight back was staggered, his full skin was now covered with horrible spells and patches of old age, his pointed nose had collapsed, and every time he laughed, he would show most of his lost teeth. No matter from which point of view, Christo is already an old man who is coming to the end of his life, and even from the look in his eyes, there are only memories of the past and regrets for life.

"I'm very old. Christo whispered, "But they are still so young, as if this hundred years are just a moment for them." You can't understand this mood that will never grow old in the future, I ...... Some were afraid to see them again. ”

"Then let them stay with Odin for the time being. Pannis sighed and patted the old goblin on the shoulder, "Don't force yourself. ”

"No, reality is reality, and you have to accept it. Christo shook his head and said, "It's time to meet again, see you now, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future." ”

"Thank you. Pannis didn't know how to persuade him at all, so he could only smile helplessly.

"Do we still need to say thank you?" Christo slowly leaned back, leaned back on the back of the chaise longue, looked at the roof, and said softly with a nostalgic smile on the corner of his mouth: "Now I often dream of the old days, when you, me, and Nelly were only Legendary, but they had to run through the Warcraft Forest, just so that Nelly wanted to see the power of the dragon." Now that I think about it, I was lucky not to die there at that time. ”

"But in the end, I managed to see it. Pannis also smiled: "Not only did I see them, but those dragons also invited us to dinner." ”

"So I'm lucky. Christo squinted his eyes, as if returning to that time: "But luckily, we met that pair of dead children on the outskirts of Longshan." ”

"Well, they were being chased by a few legendary monsters that were much weaker than them. Pannis teased: "As a natural demigod, the symbol of the Winged Human Race, who has inherited the power and knowledge of the children of light and darkness through the ages, will actually be scared to cry by several legendary magical beasts, no wonder they regard this incident as a lifetime of shame." ”

"Hehehe. Christo's laughter slowly became choppy, and his words began to become incoherent: "I seem to ...... Heard again...... The sound of wings flapping. ”

Looking at the old Christo who had just talked for a few dozen minutes, he was already weak and dozed off again, the smile on Pannis's face gradually dissipated, and he slowly got up and walked out, and finally could only leave a sigh. (To be continued.) )
