Chapter 3: The Old Man Rises in Turmoil
The past is like the wind, just when everyone seems to have forgotten the person Lancer, but there is one person who always remembers his real name, his hometown...... and his story.
That person is Ilyland Mandy, a woman who has been silently waiting for Lancer Tesla for more than 10 years.
She's just an ordinary woman, and she spends the ten years of a woman's youth waiting for a person's return, but she waits for nothing.
At the same time, there is such a man, who has silently paid for her and cared for her for ten years, perhaps at first because of a commitment to his comrades, and then a habit, but in the end, it has evolved into a complex relationship mixed with love and family affection.
He knew she had a ten-year covenant.
He waited silently for ten years, not opening his mouth or speaking, just for a promise.
And when he was eleventh year, he finally couldn't help but propose to her, but at that time, Lisy Mandy had already regarded waiting as a part of life.
She was a little flustered, but she also understood the man's dedication to him, she did not prevent the man from entering her heart, she even left an unlocked door for him, but she never agreed to his proposal.
Because she couldn't let go of the one in her heart who had been waiting for so long, and didn't want to believe that he was dead.
But in the thirteenth year, the man she was waiting for didn't show up even three years after her parents had died, so she gave up.
Two years later, the arrival of a little life made her agree to the proposal to Blaise Eddie, and she also had a complete home and started a new life. The newly-born little one was a girl, and in honor of each other, they named it Elilan Eddie.
After getting married, Elilan Mandy has a new life, but from time to time she still thinks of Lancer, the man who walks in the dark but is not recognized.
So, she would often tell her children their stories, meet and fall in love, until the end, and wait silently for the end of the day.
Whenever she said the end, Elilan Mandy would always laugh and cry. At this time, she was no longer anxious and restless, but with a touch of sentimentality and nostalgia, she said an old story, she thought he was dead, but she never thought about it......
And as time passed, Lancer and the Grand Commander's fears became a reality. The human body magic transformation technology exposes a fatal flaw, the offspring of the transformed warriors they give birth to often become inhuman, ghostly, and have great defects in intellectual development.
This situation directly aroused the great dissatisfaction of the warrior community, and at this time, the question of the "basis of battle" was raised again, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the magician.
But the magician has left a back hand in the body of every human demon transformation warrior, and any warrior who dares to attack them will be killed instantly.
Fortunately, the core data of the human body demon transformation left by Lancer played a role at this time, and secretly, the lethal device in the warrior's body began to be slowly dismantled.
Then some of the warriors who relied on their own talent began to act, and launched a small-scale, multi-regional, targeted assassination operation, and then completely made the matter bigger, and the magician's "human body magic reform plan" was exposed.
The angry warriors nearly caused civil unrest, but were suppressed by the Warrior Revival Society, which understood that it was not 3,000 years ago, and that the magicians had mastered the teleportation arrays and magical defense enchantments in each city.
Once they are killed, it will not be long before the logistics inside the fortress will go wrong, and the lizardmen will enter the surface first. When the time comes, the families of the fighters will be the first to suffer.
You know, it's not 3,000 years ago, when magicians were stupid and held their families hostage in a small world in order to blackmail the warriors. Therefore, the warriors at that time could unscrupulously assist in the invasion of the underground world.
And what Nikola Tesla left behind was not only soul stones, but also a large number of magic techniques that were only suitable for magicians to use, ensuring that the status of magicians would not be replaced.
The "Revival Society" came forward to negotiate with the Magic Council, and obtained a large amount of "Battle Basics" from the magicians, and at the same time completely disclosed the technology of human body magic transformation in their hands.
At the same time, there were also different voices in the magic council, in order to appease the angry warriors, the magicians made concessions, pushed out many magicians who were handling reselling potions, and then changed hands to disclose a safer and more mature "human body magic reform" technology, Yan Ming can carry out free transformation for the victimized warriors, and ask reliable people to watch the whole process, so as to eliminate the crisis of civil unrest.
At the same time, a large number of small magical families who got rich by reselling the "Battle Base" poured blood mold one after another, and were "wheeled" over and over again by the accident investigation team of the warriors and the three spiritual families.
It is a great joy that the greedy have been punished and the victims have been resettled! But those children who are born deformed and mentally retarded are gradually forgotten, and it is not known how many children die or are simply abandoned, and how many families receive a hush money for this.
I said this in advance. ......
Let's talk about Edison and Elilan's mother, Elilan Eddie.
At that time, Elilan Eddie was a bear child who liked to stand alone (self-reliance) and was full of action. She grew up listening to her mother's stories about Lancer, and was curious about the legendary hero who almost became her father.
So at the age of 15, she was stimulated by something and (as will be explained later) made a bold decision that she wanted to visit the man's former home, so she left a letter and left. (The [Illylland] below represents [Illyland Eddie].) )
Illiran is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and sets off with the skills of a first-class warrior. During that time, the small-scale civil strife caused by the fighters had just passed, and all places were under high martial law.
Gangsters, swindlers, and pickpockets in the city are collectively facing "business closure and rectification", and the crime rate in various places has been greatly reduced. Along the way, Elilan just followed some caravans, and smoothly crossed half of the Western Continent Terran area and came to Ping'an Town, which is really a miracle for an ordinary person.
And when she found Lancer according to the address of the story, Lancer thought she had met Elilan Mandy, but he was 105 years old at the time and quickly reacted.
Elilan Mandy was 35 years old when Lancer last saw her, and she couldn't have been 50 years old now...... Like the one in front of you, it looks like ...... It's not even 20, right?!
Lancer's consternation quickly dissipated after opening the door, and he asked calmly, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Elilan was not afraid of life at all, looking at the men in front of her about 30 or so, but squeezed into Lancer's house familiarly, while looking up and down curiously, she asked: "Hey, is this the home of the great hero Lancer?"
Lancer looked at Elilan helplessly, only to feel a pain in his head, and forgave him for thinking that Eliland Mandy didn't know the address of his home.
When he confessed to Illyland Mandy, Lancer had poured a lot of wine beforehand, and finally finished the sentence with all the courage of a drinker. Afterwards, he only vaguely remembered that he confessed his true identity and made a ten-year contract. As for what else he said that shouldn't have been said, he really didn't remember much.
Now seeing the familiar face in front of him and the familiar tone, Latser only felt that the memories of the old days had been opened, and the past scenes hit him, even an iron-blooded man like him couldn't help but shed a few sad tears.
"Hey, uncle, why are you crying?!" Illylan asked curiously.
At this time, Elilan Eddie was 15 years old, and Lancer was 105 years old, and more than ten years of recuperation made him look like an ordinary person was only 30 years old;
Hearing her question, Lancer also realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly wiped away his tears with his hand, and said: "I don't know what big hero you are talking about, I am just the housekeeper here, and Lancer is the master here, and he has been dead for many years. I just suddenly heard you say that name again, and I felt a little sad. ”
Lancer has been a spy for so many years, and his ability to adapt to changes is still very strong. Again...... He really didn't want to have anything to do with Illylan Mandy's family.
"Oh! Illylana's face looked a little lost, but in the blink of an eye, she jumped up like an electric shock.
His eyes widened, and his whole face was in front of Lancer, staring straight at Lancer. Illylan suddenly said word by word: "You liar, people, you, you are, you are, Lan Se, Tes, Ra." ”
Then, unceremoniously, she sat down on the dora seat (similar to a sofa) in the living room. said in a determined tone: "Right, you scumbag who lied to my mother and waited for more than ten years~~"
As soon as he heard this, even if he was as calm as Lancer, he couldn't help but open his mouth to argue. And then for most of the rest of the day, the two of them were debating each other's events about the year.
Illiran said: how and how her mother came here again and again, asked about Lancer, and returned disappointed again and again. In the end, the two old men who were still there began to persuade her mother not to wait any longer, but her mother still had to wait for him to come back or something...... In the end, the two old men died, and Lancer had not heard from her, and her mother was determined to marry......
After listening to this, Lancer felt mixed feelings, and his heart felt like all kinds of spices had been overturned, but he still told him about the basic situation of the year.
And because the human body magic technology has been made public, many people who were inconvenient to talk about the details back then can now be talked about openly without any scruples. In this way, you say a word, I say a word, when the sky darkens, the two finally basically smoothed out some situations that both parties have not known well over the years.
From Illylland's mouth, Lancer knew that Illylland Mandy was waiting for her in the past, and Illiran also knew that the hero in her mother's story had not died, let alone forgotten her. It's just that there is a good saying: "There is no fate, and the world makes people!". ”
At this time, the two of them, who had been talking all day, were embarrassed to find that their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. Lancer looked at the little girl opposite embarrassedly, and hurriedly said, "You sit down first, and I'll prepare dinner." So he closed the door and left.
In a short time, a sumptuous dinner prepared by the largest restaurant in Ping'an Town was delivered to the home of the current Baron Lancer.
The two began to feast on ....... But when the two of them had eaten about the same time, Lancer finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did you tell that I was Lancer?"
At this time, Yi Lilan, who had eaten nearly seven points full, wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Uncle, how can anyone open the door and ask who you are looking for......? So ......"
Talking, talking, Illyland didn't say anything with a smug face, and Lancer finally understood. But she still couldn't believe that she recognized herself as Lancer just by virtue of this, so she said unconvinced: "Then if I say, 'What's the matter with you', you have to confirm that it's me!"
Erielan said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "Uncle, you are not a transparent person, I can ask the residents of the city! And then I will say things like 'Lancer is a scumbag'! If you are really a housekeeper or some other irrelevant person, at most ignore me, don't welcome me, or even kick me out!?
After saying that, she made a playful grimace.
"So, you're 'cheating' me?" said Lancer with a bitter expression.
He looked at the girl in front of him speechlessly, feeling that he had been too lax recently.
But then again, it was really her face that looked too much like her mother when she was young, and it gave him a huge mental impact that made Lancer mess up and grabbed by a little girl.
Slowly, Lancer suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. For many years, he hadn't talked about these things with anyone, and it was almost suffocating him, and Lancer, who felt comfortable, casually asked, "Then how did you get here, did your mother let you come to me?"
After asking this sentence, Lancer himself also felt that something was wrong, no matter how unreliable they were, they were also the parents of the child, how could they let such a young child find this place alone? Besides, didn't they think they were dead back then?......
Lancer looked at Elilan with a puzzled look. Illicland's originally comfortable expression froze suddenly, and she slowly lowered her head, looking at Lancer with some weakness.
He also asked tentatively: "Uncle, are you going to send me back?"
At first glance at this expression, Lancer understood everything, this bear child must have come out of the "stilt family"!
Lancer's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he touched Elilan's head angrily and funny, and said: "It's not now, it's getting late, you can sleep first today! There is no one here, the guest room is empty, the futon or something, I will bring it to you later." ”
Illylland's eyes narrowed, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
But Lancer only rubbed it a few times, and Elilan seemed to think of something terrible, and suddenly ran away like a frightened demon rabbit. (Continental Animal Encyclopedia: The magic rabbit is similar to the white rabbit in Edison's previous life, with a very high perception of danger, because of its delicious meat, it has been caught, but because of its extremely high reproductive ability, it is all over the continent)
While running, Elilan stammered in her mouth and asked, "Uncle, are you...... You're not trying to attack me at night, are you?"
Lancer suddenly felt his face start to cramp, and the character "well" appeared on his forehead. He said with some annoyance, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about? If I were that kind of person, I would have had you decades ago." ”
"Hey, people will always change! This is the sentence my mother told me the most, who knows if you will be crazy if you have been beaten for so many years, uncle!"
Lancer felt that he was going crazy, and his heart was crossed, so he said: "What is so attractive about your little girl's film, I won't be interested in you, if you are so worried, go live outside!"
After speaking, Lancer also muttered softly: "Lao Tzu is not a virgin who has never been seen in the world!" (Mystery complaint: Do you think you are not a virgin if you have seen the world?!! Lancer: 100,000 arrows pierce the heart)
Elilan didn't dare to say anything now, but she ran out secretly, she didn't have much money on her, and she had already been exhausted along the way, if she hadn't found this place today, she would really have to sleep on the streets.
"It's so stingy for a big man to worry so much about my little girl. Illyland muttered to herself in a voice that Lancer could just hear, and hurried into the guest room for fear of being kicked out.
Lancer listened to the little girl's angry words and actions, and stood there crying and laughing. Having just finished the meal he had invited and had to sleep in the room he had provided, and in the end she was called stingy, and Lancer had seen a woman's ability to make trouble without reason, although she was still only a girl in the strict sense of the word.
"Who owes me her?" Lancer reluctantly turned to prepare a new bedding.
......
In the middle of the night, Lancer was woken up by a knock on the door, and in a daze, Lancer asked, "Who!?"
Ilylan replied weakly from outside: "I, I want to go to the toilet, where is the toilet here?"
"Go downstairs and turn left, open the little door, the main building is separated from the toilet, just go through the grove. Lancer replied casually.
There was silence outside the door for about a while, and Elilan said with a little crying: "Uncle, can you come out with me! It's too dark, I can't see it at all, I'm afraid!"
Lancer had no choice but to get up and said, "Wait, I'm dressed." ”
It suddenly occurred to him that not everyone could see night as day as he did. He didn't feel that he lived alone before, but now that there is one more, it is indeed a little inconvenient. After about three breaths, Lancer opened the door to his room and saw Elilan outside in her loose pajamas, apparently there was a vacuum inside.
If Lancer was willing, with his warrior class, he could even see how much fluff was on a person's pores, and that was as good as not wearing it.
But apparently Lancer is not so **, and he will not deliberately take the trouble to expose this. He casually released a ball of magical light, and the faint blue light suddenly illuminated the dark corridor.
Illiran stared at the ball of light curiously, and asked with some curiosity, "What is this?"
"[Magic Illumination Technique], according to the magician's light ball technique, because it can't directly attract the resonance of the magic elements in the outside world, it all relies on the support of the natal magic to capture the light element, and it will go out quickly, are you going to go to the toilet?" Lancer yawned and explained impatiently.
Yi Lilan stared at the "ball of light" curiously a few times before she said unwillingly: "Go, of course go, don't peek at that time!"
"Okay, okay, okay, hurry up! I'm going back to sleep! I'll have to ...... to-morrow," Lancer said weakly, and he didn't say anything more.
Elilan's ears were sharp, and she hurriedly asked, "What, what, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
Lancer's other big hand slapped Illylander's head at once, rubbed her hair vigorously and said, "Let's talk about tomorrow's business, now hurry up and go back to bed, it's only 1 o'clock!"
When the two of them returned from the toilet, Illylam had a worried expression all the way, and suddenly she asked:
"Uncle, you don't really plan to send me back tomorrow, do you?
Seeing this, Lancer frowned, and asked, "What the hell is going on? Make you so reluctant to go back? Tell me and I'll hear it? Maybe I can agree to let you stay a few more days!"
Seeing that Lancer was about to ask questions, Elilan quickly changed her tone and said, "Tomorrow's business will be said tomorrow, this is what you said, then I will talk about it tomorrow!" After speaking, he stuck out his tongue, turned around and entered the guest room.
Lancer looked at the quirky little girl with a smile, shook her head helplessly, and returned to her room.
(PS: I originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but I think it's more coherent to be connected together, so I'll put it together, this is a big chapter of nearly 6000 words! It's not easy for a rookie writer! I don't need to say more about what you want, right? Recommend votes, rewards, and collections! It's better to give another book review! That's it.) )
