Chapter 13: The Vanishing Father
For the next few days, Salter continued to live a life of devilish training, and Crodo was often nowhere to be seen, although Salter would always ask his father about it in the morning, but how high was Crodo's prevarication? How could Salter break it? Therefore, seven mornings passed, and Salter still couldn't get any news from his father, but one thing was certain, that is, Crodo must have something to hide from him.

Thinking about it like this, Salter was even more puzzled, if he insisted on saying it, Crodo's state only started after he was angry with himself that day, which proves that the events of that day were probably the fuse of Crodo's strange behavior. Could it be that he didn't want to go home because he was angry with himself? Salter had thought the same way, but he immediately dismissed this thought, after all, if his father was really angry with him, then he would not have called Salter to travel with him in the morning.
But in any case, Crodo's actions did not have any effect on Salte, and it can even be said that it fulfilled Salte's usual training, because even if he bought a boat, he did not force Salter to go to sea with him.
Under Chen Shiyu's training, Salter was exhausted every day, but even so, Chen Shiyu rarely said the word "satisfied" to his performance, and in the end, Salter's opportunity to ask Chen Shiyu questions only appeared four times, and one of them was even strangled by Chen Shiyu.
There are two remaining questions, one of which is, "How well do you know me?"
But Chen Shiyu asked Salter rhetorically, "Do you mean what you know about Salter Fixi or what you know about Xie Xianyu?"
In this way, Salter naturally stopped asking with interest, and as he thought, Chen Shiyu really listened to what he had said over the years.
And another question is what Salter has always wanted to figure out, although he also guessed that Chen Shiyu would most likely refuse to answer, but in the end, Salter still chose to give it a try.
"What's behind the eight water gates in the cave?"
As Salter thought, Chen Shiyu really refused to answer this question, but at the same time, Chen Shiyu also told Salter another thing, that is, seven of the eight water gates are related to the seven brave men who saved the world at the beginning, as for the extra one, she said that she made it sloppily at the beginning, but because there are many stone thorns there, the holy sword can be "tickled" (sharpened the sword) there when it is fine, so Chen Shiyu kept it.
In these ten days, Salte's cultivation time under the waterfall has changed from half an hour at a time to two hours at a time, and the position where he stands has changed directly from the stone cave to the foot of the waterfall.
Although Chen Shiyu rarely praised Salter on the surface, she still recognized Salter's efforts in her heart, in fact, she saw Salter's progress every day, and he could almost overcomplete the tasks he arranged every day, not only that, but Salter's talent in swordsmanship even surprised her, even though Salter himself said that he was actually interested in magic.
"I'm going to leave tomorrow!" Chen Shiyu said lazily to Salter while lying on the bed.
"I know. ”
In the end, Salter still failed to convince his father, which meant that he would say goodbye.
Regret is destined to stay, of course Salter doesn't want his parents to worry about it, but mission is mission, and it can be said that Salter himself can't help himself.
In his hesitation and guilt, the night passed, and this night, Salter did not even close his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the clock in his room, and seeing that the hour hand finally jumped to the 4 position, Salter got up and walked towards the door of the house.
The plan was to slip away at noon, so his morning routine wouldn't change.
As soon as he opened the door, there was a sudden cold wind, and Salter had just come out of the warm bed, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it, so he shivered as a matter of course.
Salter stood alone in front of the house, his hands rubbing together, waiting, waiting for the door to open again.
"Ahh
"Why hasn't Dad come out yet? No, I've got to call him. ”
Salter was just about to enter the door when he suddenly heard a hoarse voice from behind.
"Oh no, Salter, your father...... Your dad he's missing!"
"What?!"
Salter was startled and immediately turned around, just in time to see Lamar next door dragging his bloated body and struggling to run over.
"Uncle Lamar, what the hell happened, how did my dad go missing?"
"Whew, Whew......"
As soon as he stopped, Lamar immediately gasped for air.
"These days, your father suddenly said that the family was short of money, and asked me to accompany him to fish outside the coastal waters, but how could I have the guts? Besides, my body is not as strong as your father's, so I refused him, but after all, we are old friends, and I want to help him as much as possible, so I promise to wait for him to come back with him in the offshore every day. The first two days were okay, although he was late every day, but the harvest was really amazing, I was a little envious of it, it should have been like this today, but ......"
"But didn't he come back?" Salter asked anxiously.
Lamar nodded, "I've searched as far as I can in the offshore waters, but I haven't found any trace of him......"
Salt's heart tightened, and he immediately prepared to run towards the sea, but he had barely taken a step when he was grabbed by Lamar's fat hand.
"Salter, don't do anything stupid, I know you're worried about your father, but you can't get any results from being so reckless, I can't let you have an accident again......"
"My father's situation is very dangerous, and if I don't save him now, will I wait until you wake up the whole village before you go with me? ”
Salter said with some excitement.
"Even so, I won't allow you to go!" Lamar said categorically.
"Mr. Lamar, let me go with him, I'm a magician!"
Chen Shiyu didn't know when she had already stood beside the two, and when Lamar saw her, her serious expression faded a little.
"Could it be that you are the magician who Mr. Crodo once mentioned and saved his life?"
Chen Shiyu nodded, in such a situation, she had to disguise her identity, because the magician was respected by everyone on this continent, symbolizing the existence of unknown and powerful, so if she accompanied Salter as a magician, she believed that Lamar would no longer have any doubts about it.
"If it's you, then I'm relieved. ”
As soon as Lamar's hand was released, Salter ran into the distance like a wild horse, and Chen Shiyu also followed, watching the two figures that were not as big as themselves disappear into the darkness, Lamar couldn't help but sigh.
"You've got to find that Crodo!"
