Chapter 127: Hope
"Is that really the case?" the skeleton sneered, mockingly, "It's all this time, and if you don't tell the truth, you're really cautious!"
"What do you mean?" the old man's face changed, and he stared at the skeleton with a fierce voice - he had made up his mind that if something was wrong, he would immediately take action, no matter what the cost, he would leave the skeleton behind!
At this time, Andrea was also surprised, she didn't understand what kind of secret the skeleton and the old man were like playing dumb riddles, what kind of secrets were contained - although she didn't know the mystery, she was naturally smart and had already felt the "complexity"!
"I don't know why you say that, but ...... Are you sure you're not trying to mislead us by confusing us?" the skeleton sneered, his laughter full of mockery, "I'm afraid...... Andrea's father's death, you ...... It's not completely unaware, is it?"
"Is this true?—Old Patriarch!" When Andrea heard this, she could no longer remain calm, nor did she call anything "great-grandfather", so she directly changed her title to "Old Patriarch", and asked the old man urgently, "Is it ...... Father's Death ...... Does it really have anything to do with you?"
The old man sighed, ignoring Andrea's sad question, but instead looked at the skeleton: "How did you guess?"
"It's easy!" the skeleton chuckled, "if I'm not mistaken...... At this time, you should be riddled with old diseases, right?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough...... Didn't I hide it from your eyes?"
"Although the magic fluctuations you show are strong, they give me the impression that they are a bit strong and competent-especially when you are competing with my Emperor's Scepter, you are obviously in the upper hand, but you are very unexpectedly called a halt first, this is ...... I have to care!" The skeleton stared at the old man, a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips, "So, I was thinking at the time, you...... Will it be no longer possible?"
"Stinky boy, how do you speak?" the old man glared at the skeleton angrily, and muttered unconvinced, "Who can't do it?" -- you can't do it! Let me tell you, now the old man and I can be tough, and when you can't do it, the old man will still be very good!"
The skeleton ignored the old man's complaints, and continued to speak his opinion: "Just now, I paid special attention to the operation of your magic power, and the result is as I expected, the trajectory of your magic power is obscure, and the magic power in your body is intermittent, you ...... I guess I'm going to die, right?"
"What?" Andrea and Elena clutched their mouths in horror, their expressions showing their suspicion and surprise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"That's right! I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year!" the old man smiled a little sentimentally, and muttered with inexplicable grief and sorrow, "It's just a pity...... Adelin!"
"Father?" Andrea whispered in confusion, and then rushed to the old man's approach—but at that moment, the dark shadow from before suddenly appeared again, intercepting Andrea's whereabouts.
However, this time Andrea did not sigh at the elusiveness of this shadow again, but instead stared her gaze closely at the old man, and asked sadly in a mournful tone: "What I want to know is ...... Father...... How the hell did he die?"
"You go down first!" The old man waved his sleeve lightly, signaling the black shadow to retreat first, and then looked at Andrea, his eyes containing mixed feelings:
"You...... Do you really want to know the cause of his death?"
"Not bad!" Andrea gritted her teeth, a relentless persistence in her eyes, "I want to know the ins and outs of the matter anyway - even if I'm too weak to avenge it, ...... I don't want to be a 'deaf and dumb person' just like that, looking at my father's bones and doing nothing......! It's going to get stronger, stronger, stronger! ...... Nothing in this world can stop me from my vengeance - until then, I ...... I'm going to live well!"
Looking at the anger and sorrow in Andrea's eyes, the old man sighed lightly, and then he talked about the cause of Andrea's father's death with infinite chagrin...... Because the Cole family has just been established, there have been many conflicts with various forces because of interests! Our clan is at odds with other families, and as the ancestor of the family, I am on the front line of the battle, but it is a pity that I ...... I was anxious for quick success, but I was miserably plotted, and since then I have fallen into a hidden illness!"
"So I searched everywhere in the hope of finding a cure—but unfortunately, I found nothing!"
"In the end, I cut off my hope of healing, intercepted a space in my family, built this building, and sealed myself in it as a way to slow down the recurrence of the hidden disease - and this space is unknown and untouched by no one except your father and your uncle!" the old man said slowly, glancing at Andrea.
After hearing the old man's explanation of the origin of this building, Andrea and Elena were relieved - no wonder they had never seen this building before, it turned out that there was another mystery hidden in it!
And the skeleton couldn't help but frown lightly at this, because the old man's explanation solved a question that was trapped in his heart - no wonder there was an elder Taishang who said that the first patriarch of the Kele family "abandoned" the family and drifted away, it turned out that it was not that the old man really left the family alone, but because he was seriously injured, hiding in the shadows and licking his wounds silently!
"I already didn't report any hope of a cure for my hidden disease, but your father ......," the old man choked up a little at this point, "he has never given up the hope of curing me, and has been ...... They are all secretly and silently searching for a cure for me......"
And then, some time ago, he ...... Finally got some clues!" At this time, the old man's face seemed to be crying and smiling, very melancholy and entangled, "So, he took some people, under the purging of the 'caring people' in the family, and followed the clues until ...... The corpse is back - he died for me!"
Speaking of this, the old man looked at Andrea and burst into tears: "I knew that this was going to be difficult, but I still didn't stop it, but I just hoped that there would be a good ending......! Those fellows didn't even care about my existence, and trampled on the majesty of my Cole family with impunity—and I was trapped here, leaving nothing to mourn! I'm sorry Adeline......! The way I am now, in addition to swallowing my anger to preserve the heritage of my Cole family, I ...... What else can I do? So, desperately, desperately, I tried my best to hide the cause of Adelin's death, just to keep the situation from escalating, to ...... It is even more important not to let those enemies take advantage of it...... What's more, the people of the clan should not get involved in this matter!"
"So...... So...... You...... You hide it from me, too...... Is that to keep me from getting involved in this matter?" Andrea wept with tears in her eyes and disbelief, "then...... Did my father die in vain?--...... He's my father......! He died for you!"
"I know—I know all this!" lamented the old man with a sad face, "but what can I do if I know?—I know...... I don't have the strength to take your father's life!"
"You are the ancestor of my Cole family! You are the founder and founder of the Cole family......, a generation of golden families! You're the legendary powerhouse!...... Is it even you...... Is there no way to avenge my father?" Andrea cried out in disbelief.
"I?—I'm just an empty shelf now!" said the old man with a wry smile, as if self-deprecating, "if I had been strong, would I still be trapped here?—I would have knocked on the door a long time ago!, and your father ...... Your father won't have given up his life in search of a cure!"
"Yes...... Is that so?" muttered Andrea, stunned, "after all...... Is it still a reason for strength?"
"This is what this world looks like!" the old man glanced at Andrea and sighed slightly, "The strong are born, and the weak are ...... You can only be slaughtered!"
"That...... Shouldn't there be a better solution?" Looking at Andrea and the old man, who looked at each other, Elena suddenly spoke, "As long as you are like me...... Let this ...... Belch...... Wouldn't this gentleman just resurrect him?"
Elena glanced at the skeleton slightly apologetically, embarrassed that she didn't know the name of the life-saving benefactor, and ashamed of her "ungrateful" act - that's right, the skeleton saved her Elena is good, but, I also know that the props that can be "resurrected" must be extremely cherished, and she, obviously after others consumed precious life-saving props to save herself, she still "shamelessly" hopes that others will use that precious props to save another person, how do you think...... No matter how you think about it, it makes people think that she Elena is a greedy person who has to make inches and has insufficient hearts to swallow elephants!
Hearing Elena's words, Andrea's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the skeleton with bright eyes, preserving longing and hope.
"It's useless!" didn't need the skeleton to come forward to explain, the old man automatically vetoed the proposal, "I also saw the situation where he saved people just now, although it is really a rare life-saving prop, but there are still many restrictions on its use, at least...... It requires the medium of the resurrected person's obsession, soul, etc., and it is a pity that it ...... All but one corpse remains...... Nothing else!Adelin's soul was blasted to slag, he ...... There is neither the power of obsession nor the ...... Nor did he retain any soul medium, so he ...... Adelin: He's really...... He is truly dead, and there is no possibility of resurrection!—unless...... Unless he can have a stronger resurrection item!"
At the end, the old man's eyes couldn't help but rekindle hope, and he looked at the skeleton longingly—and even, in order to resurrect Adelin, the old man did not hesitate to make a heavy promise:
"If so...... If you can resurrect Adelin, I'...... I'm willing to give me all the gold of the Cole family - rest assured, the Cole family is called the Golden Family, and they have more gold than just a few small pieces of gold in the treasury......! All the gold of the Cole family is yours!"
"Please...... Please save my father!" Andrea rushed to the skeleton's side, knelt down slightly, tugged at the skeleton's robe tightly, looked at the skeleton pitifully, and her big eyes flashed with tears of pleading, "As long as you ...... As long as you can save my father, I'm ...... I will never be angry with you again, I will not talk back to you! I will ...... in the future. I'll listen to you from now on, okay?--Please...... Please...... Please, save my father, okay? As long as you can save him, from now on, I will do whatever you say, and there will be no more disobedience! Please...... Save my father!"
"Benefactor!" Although she felt that her request would be excessive, Elena still "poofed", knelt in front of the skeleton without hesitation, and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Maybe...... Maybe it's shameful for me to say that, but ...... But please save the Patriarch!—Miss...... I don't want the eldest lady to have no father......! As long as you can save the patriarch, let the eldest lady ...... Let the eldest lady's father come back to life, I ...... Though I am humble, I am like a ...... If you don't give up, you ...... I am also willing to be a slave and a servant, and serve your right and left!"
"Big brother!" At this time, even the young man who was on the shoulder of the skeleton weakly pleaded, "You can help the big sister!--I know, the big brother is the best! The big brother is the most capable!"
Looking at the eager eyes full of hope, the skeleton smiled slightly bitterly, and couldn't say anything if he refused, so he couldn't help but pat his ass in annoyance, and muttered as if he complained: "It's your best at pouring ecstasy soup - how can I refuse it?"
Hearing the skeleton's complaints, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and couldn't help but smile.
"You...... Do you really have a way to save my father?" Andrea asked, her lips trembling, as if in disbelief, "No...... Don't lie to me?"
"Of course!" the skeleton nodded aggressively, replying in the affirmative.
"Great, great! That's great...... That's wonderful!" Elena also smiled with tears in her eyes.
"This ...... This...... This...... This is really blessed by the gods!" the old man folded his hands and prayed to the heavens, "Bless me to meet this noble person, so that my son can ...... Get out of danger!"
