Chapter 9: Mortals on the Altar
"That's really grateful. Lei Zaisi was not very surprised by Zheng Ding's choice, "As long as I can save Nana's life from the hands of the villains, even if it is my Lei Zaisi's net worth, I can give it to you, little brother!"
Unexpectedly, Zheng Ding didn't raise his eyelids: "I don't know how to do business, wouldn't it be a pity if the family business you worked so hard to save was ruined once it was lost." ”
This time, Lei Zaisi was really a little surprised: "I just heard you mention what magic circle you are looking for, although I don't know what it is, but I will use all the resources at my disposal to find out for you, and I will inform you as soon as there is news!"
"That's great!" Zheng Ding and Yan Huixue cheered in unison, and immediately explained the matter of the Lan Realm and the teleportation circle to Lei Zaisi in detail.
"It's really a big world!" Lei Zaisi couldn't hide his surprise, "No wonder Miss Yan's moves are so novel, it turns out to be magic!"
"By the way, Old Man Lei! You said that there is no way to defeat the evil dragon in your memoirs, why don't you make it clear to them?" Zheng Ding always had doubts about this.
And Yan Huixue also had the same confusion, listening to Zheng Ding take the lead in proposing, he was also busy pricking up his ears to listen to Lei Zaisi's explanation.
Lei Zaisi smiled slightly, got up and walked to the bookshelf, vacated one of the books, and fiddled around with the edges, and a dark grid appeared on the wall behind the shelf. Lei Zaisi took out a hand-bound book in the dark compartment, blew off the dust on the surface, and put it on the coffee table in front of Zheng Ding and the others: "This is the memoir left by my grandfather, you might as well take a look at it first." ”
"Yes...... Is it okay?" In order to compete for this memoir, there has been a fight to the death outside, and some people have even lost their lives because of it, but at this moment, Lei Zaisi just handed it over to them to read, as if taking a newspaper from the newspaper shelf, Yan Huixue couldn't believe it.
Lei Zaisi smiled faintly: "Isn't the book just for people to read?"
Speaking of which, the two were no longer polite, Zheng Ding immediately grabbed the memoir and turned the page casually. At the same time as the book was opened, the two were shocked at the same time, even if the brain intelligence was 100% developed, the two would never have imagined that a brave man who had been baptized by fire, a hero who defeated the evil dragon, and an idol in the hearts of countless sons and daughters of Shenzhou, the only work left for future generations was actually a comic book!
Lei Zaisi, who had long expected that the two would react like this, sighed softly: "I didn't expect it, right? Compared with a combat hero, in fact, grandpa would prefer to be a cartoonist, but his talent is not high, and the burden of heroes after becoming famous is too heavy, grandpa never dared to make his painstaking work, that is, this memoir, public." Considering how grandpa felt when he was alive, our Lei family never took the initiative to mention memoirs. ”
The two of them casually flipped through a few more pages, this Lei Guang's painting is really average, all the characters have the same face, and in order to distinguish them, they all have their names on the top of their heads. What kind of talent is not high, that is just Lei Zaisi's humble words to the ancestors, it is clear that there is no talent, okay!
Zheng Ding couldn't bear to look at it directly, but Yan Huixue remembered the plot of slaying the dragon, and forcibly endured the emotions of wanting to vomit and looked for relevant pictures page by page. Finally, about 2/3 of the way I found this part, there were only two frames of the whole process, the first frame of a man and a dragon confronting each other, with the word "I" written on the top of the person's head, and the person with the word "I" written on it in the second frame had an extra sword in his hand, and the dragon's head had fallen to the ground.
Yan Huixue was already so shocked that she had nothing to say, thinking about the two alienated people who had seized the treasure, they had done so many things just to get this graffiti, Yan Huixue actually had a trace of sympathy for them.
Zheng Ding seems to have become a character in the comics, and there is a big word "embarrassment" on the top of his head: "Old Man Lei, I understand you, if this book is passed out...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
I don't want Lei Zaisi to take this matter lightly: "In fact, the so-called dragon slaying hero is just an ordinary person, and letting the outside world see his works is what grandpa has always wanted to do but didn't dare to do." Originally, I wanted to make this memoir public a long time ago, but Nana insisted on refusing, and chose to confront it head-on when she was threatened by alienated people. ”
No wonder Lei Nana always had a sullen and cold look along the way, presumably because of the strength of the alienated people displayed by Zheng Ding, so that everyone clearly realized that with the so-called masters she recruited, they could not protect their Lei family at all.
"Does Old Man Lei want to make it public?" Yan Huixue looked at Lei Zaisi in disbelief, "If you really want to do this, then the reputation of Old Hero Lei ......"
Lei Zaisi nodded solemnly: "But that's the real grandfather, I think that compared to a statue on the altar, flesh-and-blood humans can win the respect of others from the heart." Besides, I did this to put it bluntly to protect myself, as long as the secret of the memoir is not made public for a day, our Lei family will not be at peace for a day. A spineless sentence came out of Lei Zaisi's mouth, and he couldn't hear a little bit of a wretched feeling.
"Okay, it's not too early, the two of you have a good rest first, and you will have to rely on the two of you for the next few days! I'll let the kitchen order good dishes for the two of you in the evening!" Lei Zaisi said as he slowly paced to the door, opened the door and shouted out, "Gillian!"
Zheng Ding and the others also got up and followed Lei Zaisi with interest, and as soon as they left the room, they received a murderous look from Lei Nana.
"Miss Nana, you haven't left yet, are you waiting for me here?" As soon as he saw Lei Nana, Zheng Ding immediately became smooth.
Lei Nana snorted coldly, biting Zheng Ding's ear and asking, "What kind of conditions did Dad give you so that you are willing to help us?" Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Lei Zaisi and Zheng Ding, Lei Nana also guessed that Zheng Ding had agreed to help. But in order to get his assistance, what price did the Lei family pay, this is what he cares about the most. Now that their Lei family is in a predicament, as long as anyone who has experienced the battle of the snack bar can see it, it is not surprising that Zheng Ding knocked out any bamboo poles at this time, not to mention that the two sides had a big fight.
"Old man Lei promised to help us get some news. Zheng Ding bit Lei Nana's ear back.
Lei Nana was instantly stunned when she heard this, and helped inquire about the news? And there is no agreement to ask about something, this kind of commitment is actually equal to no commitment, who knows if the other party really helps, and when the time comes, as long as the sentence "I have done my best" can push the responsibility cleanly.
At the moment when Lei Nana stood stupidly in a daze, the maid named Gillian had already trotted all the way to several people, respectfully waiting for Lei Zaisi's instructions.
Lei Zaisi coughed lightly: "Prepare two guest rooms and take two distinguished guests down to rest!"
Zheng Ding and the others had already walked away with Gillian, and Lei Nana was still motionless in place, and suddenly someone gently patted her shoulder twice, which made a frightened spirit jump up.
"Maybe it was your father-in-law's protection that sent these two people over, and our Lei family was finally saved. Lei Zaisi's relieved voice sounded in his ears.
The father and daughter stood quietly in the hallway until the next came the news that the dinner had begun.
The dinner was arranged in the luxurious hall of the Lei family, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and in addition to Zheng Ding and the others, all the invited masters were also invited. When Zheng Ding and Yan Huixue appeared at the main entrance of the hall with lazy steps, the hall exploded, and the masters rushed up, vying to be close to Zheng Ding. In the afternoon, he also abused a group of people to the point that he was a perverted master, and suddenly became teammates in the same trench, such exciting news, without waiting for Lei Zaisi to announce it himself, had already reached everyone's ears. Although there is such a strongman teammate, there is no need to think about ten times the commission, but after the afternoon battle, who would dare to delusionally take on the alienated person.
"Brother Ding, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life, you are my idol!"
"Miss Yan, your magic is so good, can you teach me how to pour different drinks from a teapot?"
The masters surrounded Zheng Ding and the others, and the sycophants were sentence after sentence, the scene was not lively, but it seemed that the two masters of the Lei family, father and daughter, were a little redundant.
"Brother Ding, you played so handsomely in the afternoon! I don't know if you mind accepting me as a little brother?" said a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties flatteringly holding Zheng Ding's hands.
"Wow shit! Fuji Hong, do you still want to be embarrassed? Why do you want Brother Ding to accept you as a junior brother, and if you want to accept us as a brother? We and Brother Ding really don't know each other. Although the Hao brothers were covered with bandages, they still struggled to squeeze into the crowd to defend their "right of priority acquaintance" with Zheng Ding.
"Have you ever fought with Brother Ding?" Fuji Hong was very unconvinced, "I also inserted Brother Ding's nostrils!"
"What?" Zheng Ding grabbed Fuji Hong's collar violently when he heard this, "It turned out to be you!
Just when everyone thought that Zheng Ding was going to erupt in the volcano, Zheng Ding suddenly patted Fuji Red on the shoulder: "Remember to wash your hands next time you touch the chili pepper, Made's spicy kills me!"
Fuji Red nodded awkwardly and said yes.
Suddenly, Zheng Ding looked around at the masters around him, and said with a puzzled face: "Why didn't you see the swordsman who took the lead and fought with me?"
Someone in the crowd immediately responded: "Brother Ding, you are talking about Zhen Yi, right? He heard that Brother Ding was coming, and he slipped away early in the morning under the pretext of having a stomachache!haha!" Since Zhen Congxin made a foreign appearance under Zheng Ding, his image in the eyes of his companions has plummeted, and even his name has been changed to Zhen Yi.
"What an alienated person! In my eyes, it's not much better than a fly!" another person stood up and teased in Zhen Congxin's cold tone.
"Zhen's domineering slash!" suddenly shouted, and the noisy hall immediately became silent, and when everyone understood that there were still people who were pretending to be forced by Zhen, they burst into laughter again.
Zhen Congxin did sneak out to avoid Zheng Ding, perhaps because he was angry about the battle that ruined his reputation, and unconsciously came to the door of Lao Qiao's snack bar.
It was also time for the meal to arrive, and Zhen got into it without thinking about it. Qiao Buzhi in the store seemed to be about to go out, and when he saw him come in, he unceremoniously raised his hand and pushed him out again, with some impatience in his tone: "Go, go!
Zhen Congxin is holding back a fire in his belly and has nowhere to get angry, Zheng Ding, I can't beat it, and you dare to play a small snack bar with me, I have to teach you a good lesson today, and immediately drew his sword and shot: "Are you looking for death?" Do you know who I am?"
Qiao squinted at Zhen Congxin, and his slightly anxious face squeezed out a smile: "I really didn't know who you were, but now that you are so famous, how can I not know the reason." I heard your name is Zhen Yi, right?"
"Egging on your sister!" Zhen Congxin took an arrow step and swung his sword to take Qiao Buselfish, "Zhen Rachel!"
