Chapter 178: Stubbornness
Eight days later, the first batch of Star Fragments arrived at Sophia's estate, where Steven was in charge of escorting them.
Dio and the others have not been idle these days, digging a cellar in the small courtyard where Dio lives, which is used to store the fragments of stars, all the work is done by Dio, Gordon and Raymond, without prosthetic hands on anyone, and the excavated floating soil is also evenly sprinkled in the courtyard.
There are basically no irrelevant people entering here, plus Gordon, Raymond and the wild man have all moved over, even if no one is there, and there is a roar to guard the house, there is no problem in terms of safety.
After the carriage was properly placed, Theo and the others inquired about the situation of the battle with concern.
"Haha, you didn't see it. Steven touched his bald head and laughed: "Franvi's gang is used to robbing others, and when we suddenly intercepted them and said that they were going to rob, the expressions on the faces of those guys were not to mention how wonderful they were." ”
Theo and the others also laughed, it was like a professional thief walking down the street and suddenly finding a hand in his pocket, and the mood at that time should have been more shocked than angry.
"Is it the Firefox Judy Ribbon team?" asked Dio.
"It's a shame it's not her. Steven smacked his lips: "There is only a bunch of little samurai, and we don't bother at all." ”
"Ha, it's not Judith, Gordon, or your bounty would have been robbed. Raymond said with a smile.
"What bounty?" asked Steven, confused.
Gordon glared at Raymond fiercely: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's not like that." ”
It would be better if Gordon didn't say this, but as soon as the words came out, the others were more convinced that what Raymond said was true, and Sophia and Steven, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help but ask.
When they learned that Gordon had taken over the task of assassinating the leader of the Franvi bandits, their eyes immediately became strange, this is no longer a matter of boldness, and they don't take their own surname seriously, right?
Sophia Adam immediately made up her mind in her heart, when Dio went out with Gordon in the future, she must be careful, with Gordon's surname, she really can't say what will happen.
"Young man, thanks to you not doing anything, Judith, as an extreme samurai, is not so easy to mess with. Steven shook his head and said no more.
"He had already taken action, but his life was good, and he didn't die. Raymond said in a weird way.
Steven was speechless for a moment, he had already done it, and now he can still stand here, this life is really not ordinary.
"You don't speak, no one thinks you're dumb!" said Gordon angrily.
Raymond smiled and stopped talking, his greatest pleasure seemed to be to make Gordon embarrassed, and now his purpose had been achieved.
At this moment the courtyard door was pushed open, and the tall savage girl walked in, and now she should have called her Laura, and Sophia just casually gave her a name, but she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and since then when others have forgotten to call her when they talk to her, she will definitely remind the other party.
Laura saw Steven in the middle of the yard at a glance, recognized this person as the same as Spike who attacked her a few days ago, and immediately put on a defensive posture, and the kitten in her arms also cooperated with the owner, and the two little paws scratched in the air, and let out a low roar from the mouth.
"No, I'm not here to fight. Steven hurriedly explained that the last time Spike did it, although it was said to create a suitable excuse, but afterwards he was also ridiculed by Don and Steven for a long time, and released a ground-splitting blow at a little girl, which can no longer be described as a fuss, it is simply a naked bully.
Steven doesn't want to repeat Spike's mistakes, but then again, how can this little girl and her kitten be so aggressive?
"Don't be so nervous, it was a misunderstanding the first few days, come and sit. Dio said with a smile.
Laura's expression gradually relaxed, although she didn't quite understand what Dio's misunderstanding represented, she still chose to believe it, and only Dio's words would have such a big effect on her.
Originally, Dio's right hand sat Sophia, and on the left was Raymond, and there was an empty space between Gordon and Raymond, but Laura didn't look there, and walked straight to Dio's side, standing there straight like a log.
Everyone could see that Laura was going to sit next to Dio, but the problem was that there were people there.
Once again, the people present understood Laura's stubbornness, and she didn't speak, but just stood there, and it seemed that if no one gave her her place, she would have stood like this.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, it was impossible for Sophia to give up her position, and there was no reason for that, and Laura was not someone from Dio, so only Raymond was left.
Raymond looked at Laura, then at the others, with a defeated expression, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, you sit here with me." ”
Laura sat in the position that Raymond gave up very naturally, and didn't even say thank you to Raymond, Raymond was depressed again, and secretly made a decision in his heart that he would not sit next to Dio in the future, lest he have to give up his position when he got it, why bother?
Sophia frowned slightly, this girl's dependence on Dio seems to be a little too high, strictly speaking, it has affected the normal life between her and Dio, not only today's things, in the past few days, as long as Laura wants to see Dio, she will come directly, no matter who is in Dio's room and what she is doing, although she is not noisy or noisy, she is sitting there, but if there is one more person, it will always affect the atmosphere.
But Sophia can't say anything, after all, she is a little girl, and Laura's past experience is very sympathetic, and now is a critical period for Laura to integrate into normal society, once she has a gap in her heart or has negative emotions such as inferiority, it will be even more difficult to do. Sophia couldn't scold this little girl covered in scars anyway, and she could only reluctantly follow her, as long as she didn't make any outrageous moves, Sophia didn't see it.
"By the way, the people from Santis City are almost there, right?" Steven looked tall and fierce, but his mind was very delicate, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the audience was a little awkward, he changed the topic without a trace.
"Well, in three or four days, it should be there. Dio nodded.
"So fast...... Steven touched his bald head, calculated in his heart for a while, and then said, "It seems that the third batch of goods is a little late." ”
"The third batch?" Dior was stunned.
"The second shipment has arrived?"
Steven smiled: "It's no different from getting it, calculate the time, it should have just set off from Thousand Star Lake, it's all under our control, rest assured, they can't fly to the sky." ”
Dio nodded, Franvi still has to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Marquis of Sain, and he will definitely not be able to draw too many people to protect the convoy, even if he can, it is estimated that Franvi will not dare to do that, as his old opponent, once Franvi's movement is too big, Sain can easily analyze his purpose, after all, the Marquis of Sain's people are always looking for the best Star Fragment Mining Area.
Franvi wanted to keep the mining area for as long as possible, so that Sain could not find out about the large-scale movement of his troops, which just gave Dio and the others the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and if Franvi did his best, even Baron Don would not be able to bargain for anything in Franvi's hands.
"So be it, after the second batch of goods arrives, we won't come over again, in fact, the two batches of goods together are enough, and greed is not a good thing. Steven said after a moment's thought.
Dio and the others glanced at each other and nodded, at present, these star fragments are enough, after all, when they have not reached the level of Wuzun, the demand for star fragments is limited.
But the headache is that the cat boy has been 'eating' all the time, although every time the cat eats a star fragment, it will make Dio and several people feel distressed, but everyone is very curious, when the cat eats so many star fragments, after passing the growth period, what will it become? It should be a very powerful monster, right?!
"When you and the people of Santis City converge, be careful yourself, and don't rush to the front for anything, especially you. Steven's eyes fell on Gordon, and said with a smile, in fact, he didn't have the habit of teaching juniors, but Gordon was too impulsive, and Steven was afraid that Sophia and Dio would also be involved when the time came.
"Got ......it," Gordon said with some embarrassment, now Gordon is not as hot-headed as he used to be, it's not that his surname has changed much, but he has begun to know how to think about other people, at least now Gordon will no longer put the people around him in danger because of his own affairs.
"Where is Uncle Donne now?" asked Dio.
"He's gone west. Steven said, "We're going to meet Franvi's second convoy. ”
"There's a good chance you'll run into Judith the Firefox this time. Theo said.
"What's the matter?" Steven let out a hoarse laugh, "You think the three of us can't handle a?"
Dio smiled and didn't speak, although these old members of the Tiger Regiment had displayed jaw-dropping lethality, but Judith was already very famous before joining the Franvi bandits, walking alone on the plains of Chris, sometimes leaving behind bloody cases one after another, and sometimes not committing any crimes against the caravans, it all depended on her mood at the time. It was a female warrior with a very strange temper and no small ability. And on Donne's side, since Theodore was killed, there has been a fatal hole in the battle combination, to be precise, it is easy to defeat Judith, and it is a little difficult to kill Judith.
