Chapter 10: Parting
"Why are you here, come over here and show you something good. Seeing that the little dragon was much slower than usual, Shion hurriedly beckoned.
"Aster, that ......"
"What's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong with Xiaolong, Shion put down a few bullets in his hand.
"I'll probably have to go back in a month. โ
"Back to Crystal City?"
"Hmm. Fauber called me out of the blue in the morning and was coming to pick me up in the middle of next month. โ
"yes, think about it, you've been here for almost a year, haven't you?"
"Well, it's been more than ten months, and it's been more than two months since my sister was born, and I haven't seen it yet. โ
"It seems that we can't catch up. Shion thought for a while, and suddenly said something inexplicably.
"What's not coming?"
"In two months at most, I'll be able to reach the level of an Enhancer. I'm going to show you my armament after becoming a strengthener, but it seems that I can't catch up. โ
"So fast?"
"Quick, last year, my ability value had reached the minimum conditions for embodying the second stage of armament, but at that time, Grandpa Fran said that let me stabilize the realm, and I must lay a solid foundation before becoming a strong person, otherwise I am already a strong person now. โ
"It's been more than a year now, so why wait another two months for the second stage of armament to appear?"
"Grandpa Fran is now going to the European camp, and it will take more than a month to come back, and the second stage of the armament will take more than ten days from the beginning of theory to the embodiment and then to stability, but I am afraid that it may not be completed in two months. โ
"Oh, what are you going to be equipped with? By the way, what did your first armament look like? I haven't seen it yet. "If you are a martial artist, the second stage of armament will generally attach attributes to the first stage of armament. But magicians are different, magicians who don't need to be armed with manifest weapons, and it is common for the first and second stages of armament to be completely separated, so how to choose Ziyuan in the end. It's really hard to grasp. However, before that, Xiaolong suddenly thought of not to mention the second stage of armament, even the first stage of armament that had already appeared, he still had no idea at all.
"I was going to show you after the second stage of armament appeared, but since I don't have time, forget it. This is my armament. As he spoke, Aster stretched out the first stage of his armament and presented it in front of Xiaolong.
"It's so beautiful!" Originally, Shion was a complete beauty, but now she had a pair of white wings behind her, even though Xiaolong was only nine years old. I couldn't help but be stunned.
โ......โ
"What's the use of these wings? After looking left and right, Xiaolong asked with some confusion.
"Of course it works, this weapon is used to increase the strength of magic, and the effect is similar to that of a magic staff, but it is much more practical than a magic staff. โ
"However, I didn't feel much volatility. โ|
"I didn't even chant the real name of the arm, the arming is not fully embodied, and of course I don't feel too strong. Besides, I'm just a capable person now. Your 'divine thoughts' are also very shallow, and it's normal that you can't feel it. โ
"It's just that there is one less armed real name, can the gap be so big. โ
"Don't underestimate your real name. Arming is not just about embodying something of your own through your own strength, if used properly. Even the power of faith and fantasy can be boarded. For example, Aunt Night, do you know what Aunt Night's armed forces are called?"
โ......โ
"It's called 'Fallen Angel.'" The fallen angel, the messenger of hell in Western mythology in the true ancient period, can even be said to be the spokesman of darkness. Therefore, in addition to her own strength, Aunt Night's armament also has the power of faith and fantasy that has been lodged in two eras. That is, tong guรฒ armed. It is possible to borrow power that does not belong to it. โ
"So, your armament also borrowed these powers?"
"Well, my armament is 'Thor', a god in ancient Chinese mythology, the only human god with wings, so the form of armament also chose the most representative wings, which is the most suitable for me with the thunder attribute, and I plan to increase the strength of the defense in the second section of the armament, the magician is weak in terms of defensive ability, and it should be very good to use the amplification and defense in one. Ask Grandpa Fran when he returns, and if that's possible. Shion explained.
"It turns out that there is so much learning, what should I do in the future?"
"You better ask your master about this, and let your master help you refer to it. You're only 26,000 now, and you still have a year to think about, so just think about it slowly. There is a big gap between the armed form of the martial artist and the magician, and the characteristics of the 'Evoking Record', as well as what weapons you will use in the future, are not for me to interfere with, too many uncertain factors are impossible to be beneficial to the manifestation of the armament, and I can't help you, when you go back, your master will help you determine the type of weapon, and it should help you choose the direction of the armament. Okay, don't think about that, come and see what I've got for you. Seeing that Xiaolong suddenly became a little confused because of the issue of armament, Zi Yuan quickly diverted the topic and shifted his attention to the table on the side.
"What's that?"
"See for yourself. โ
"Bullets, such a big bullet, what kind of gun is used?" Xiaolong asked suspiciously, holding a few yellow bullets on the table in his hand. The two have been together for more than ten months, and they still have a certain understanding of the inventory of asters. Although Zi Yuan likes to study these things, it is just a pastime to pass the time, and she is still a martial artist who does not have any hobby for hot martial arts, so when she made the finished product, she only made the bullets of the two commonly used pistols, and the bullets that were more than ten centimeters long at this moment were never seen here by Xiaolong.
"Simonov anti-tank gun. Don't you really like that, I made it for you. I see that you've been pretty proficient with pistols during this time, and it's time for you to try out your favorite guns. How about it, would you like to try it?"
"Hmm. โ
"It's a pity that you can only watch from the sidelines, not do it. After igniting Xiaolong's interest, Aster poured cool water with a very bad heart.
"Why?"
"I suddenly changed my mind. โ
"Why?"
"Can you answer me a question first? โ
"What do you want to ask?"
"When you return to Crystal City, I'm afraid we won't see each other again for a long time. If you can't see me, won't you miss me?" Shion suddenly stared into Xiaolong's eyes and asked very seriously.
"What's the matter, why did you suddenly remember to ask this. "I felt the solemn aura emanating from Aster. Xiaolong didn't know how to answer for a while, and the moment his brain paused, he blurted out something inappropriate.
"You answer me first. โ
"Even if you ask, neither of us has been separated......"
"Then you just make a hypothesis now, if I'm no longer here now, will you miss me?" Without giving Xiaolong time to think about it at all, he interrupted Xiaolong's words again, forcing the nine-year-old child to give an answer.
โ...... I ......"
"Well, needless to say. I already know. After giving Xiaolong a moment to relax, Xiaolong was about to answer, but was interrupted by Aster.
"I've already figured it out, so you don't have to say it. โ
"Yes, if you think about it, keep this answer in your heart, and when I want to know again, you can tell me. Seeing that Xiaolong looked a little stupid, although Ziyuan showed a lonely look in his eyes, he still comforted him with a warm face.
Never try to find out what a girl is thinking. Because her ideas are far from something that can be deduced with reason and logic. Even if you are an adult, I am afraid that under such urgent pressure, it is impossible to answer a better answer than Xiaolong. But. What Shion wants is not an answer that is answered after thinking rationally, but an answer that is given under forced questioning, under conditioned reflexes, and only under instinctive reactions. will be recognized by Aster. Therefore, even the slightest hesitation is already disqualified.
"Does that still count?"
"Count. But this gun. Still can't be used for you. โ
"Why?"
"No, you're too small, the gun is too big, it's not easy to handle, I'm afraid of problems. โ
"Didn't you just say that I'm pretty good at shooting water? โ
"Yes, but this one is too big, think about it, how powerful this gun is, if it goes off fire, my yard will probably be destroyed by you. Rather than satisfying your curiosity, I think it's more realistic to keep this yard first, okay, don't be dissatisfied, when you go back to Crystal City, take this gun with you, count it as a gift from me, and I won't care how you want to play when you return to Crystal City. While trying to make Xiaolong remember her more deeply in this way, he gave another ridiculous reason in the wrong way.
โกโกโก
"That's it, I'm leaving. โ
"Wait, I have something to say to you. More than a month is too fast for two people who have nothing to worry about, and in the blink of an eye, the two have to face the reality of separation. Seeing that the little dragon was about to leave with the servants of the Mester family, Ziyuan hurriedly shouted and called the little dragon back.
"Do you have anything else to say?" After being stopped by Ziyuan, Xiaolong's expression immediately became extremely excited, as if saying one more word was a very memorable thing.
โ......โ
"Fu Bo, you wait for me first, I still have something to say to Ziyuan. Seeing that Ziyuan gave him a look, Xiaolong seemed to think about Fu Bo and said.
"Well, Third Young Master, try to be as fast as possible, there is still more than an hour before the airship takes off. โ
"Well, I know. โ
......
"Are you going to just leave?" After taking Fu Bo away, it took a long time for Shion to speak and break the peace between the two.
โ......โ
"After a while, we may not see each other for a long time, will you miss me?" Seeing that Xiaolong didn't answer, Ziyuan raised the question of more than a month's money again.
"I'm already missing you now, Shion, I don't want to go back. โ
"yes, it seems like the two of us wanted to go together, what a coincidence. โ
"Aster ......"
"Just think about me. I'll give you another gift, and I'll see it when you think of me. Satisfied with Xiaolong's answer, Ziyuan took out two customary pistols from his magic robe and handed them to Xiaolong.
"I don't have anything to give you. โ
"Do you still need it, didn't you give it to me a long time ago? โ
"What?"
"Haven't you all been marked by me? Shion said as she placed her hand on Xiaolong's right chest, stroking the place where the mark had been made on him a few months ago.
โ...... , Ziyuan, will you come to Jingcheng to see me in the future?" Xiaolong knew very well that with the family rules of the Mester family, after returning to the clan, he would definitely not have the opportunity to come to the imperial capital again, unless he had the opportunity to discuss with Zuo Xiang next time, but how slim such a chance was.
"If you have a chance......" Although she wanted to respond to Xiaolong's expectations, Ziyuan could only reluctantly say a perfunctory sentence.
Compared with Xiaolong, Ziyuan, who is already sixteen years old, has a more rational cognition. She knows very well that whether it is her or Xiaolong, there is no way to act according to her own preferences and will, born in a wealthy family, she is already destined to have many things that cannot be decided by herself, this truth, at the engagement ceremony a year ago, Ziyuan has been vividly taught a lesson, although she is quite satisfied with this family business.
Grandpa was worried that something would happen to him, and he didn't even let himself step out of the house for sixteen years, even if he came to see off Xiaolong today, he was arranged with more than a dozen entourages. If you say that you go to Jingcheng to visit Xiaolong, I'm afraid that no matter how much your grandfather spoils herself, she won't be able to agree.
"Will you miss me all the time?"
"Remembering the monarch across the blue sky, the past is horizontal, and now the spring of tears ......"
"Hmm, what do you mean? I don't understand. โ
"It's good if you don't understand, and you'll understand later. When you really understand the meaning of this sentence, we will probably be able to continue to be together. โ
"Truly Understanding ......"
"You'll understand. Okay, so be it, your servant seems to be in a hurry. โ
The year was 30,260 A.D. This year, Mestre Long was nine years old and Wei Ziyuan was sixteen years old. And today, two children who are still a long way from adulthood are like two idiots who have matured enough to have experienced life and death, telling love words like deathbed.
Strangely, many things seem to have some kind of foreboding before they happen. Both of them knew at the moment that they would not see each other again for a long time after a farewell, but they would never have expected that after they told each other their feelings, they would be greeted with a farewell. Maybe it's fate, maybe it's a coincidence, in short, fate is a story that describes this. No one would have expected how bumpy the road of fate would be for two martial arts geniuses who had been favored by God since birth. A fateful and magical encounter, after only a year of getting along, looking back, it has become a dead farewell. (To be continued......)
