Chapter 7: The Day of Return
Big, often described as the vastness of things. One, the beginning of all things, the second is born, and all things are derived. unity, unity, and the connection of complex individuals.
The combination of these three simple Chinese characters constitutes the highest achievement that almost no one has achieved in the past and present, the great unification.
In the history of the world, the largest country was the Mongol Empire, which at its peak reached 33 million square kilometers, equivalent to the entire African continent today.
But that's not a big deal, because there are seven states in the world.
Now, the elegant old man opened his arms, like a doorman who spoke boldly in front of the monarch in the Spring and Autumn Period, persuading the monarch to compete for fame and fortune.
Whether he really has the ability Lu Nan doesn't know, but he knows that it is important to figure out the purpose of this gentleman. There is no such thing as unprovoked help in the world, and all human actions have a purpose.
"So, at what cost?" Lu Nan asked Ange, "What good will it do you for you to help me complete the so-called great unification?" ”
"The process of completion is the benefit we need." Ange smiled, "The purpose of the Kassel Academy was to train the most high-end talents to complete the task that humans have not completed, that is, to slay dragons. ”
"You need to take back what you deserve, and our goal is to kill all the dragons, it's not a conflict."
"But according to you, I'm also a dragon." Lu Nan stared at him, "I can't understand that you are borrowing my hand to wipe out the dragons, and when I am the only dragon left in this world, your purpose will become me." ”
"It can be understood that way." Ange shrugged, "But you said you, you're going to take everything that belongs to a dragon out of this world, aren't you?" We don't conflict. ”
"And what if I don't go?" Lu Nan asked, "If I use their blood to become a brand-new dragon with supreme power." Aren't you afraid? ”
Ange didn't answer, smiling faintly. He suddenly stood up, took out a bottle of wine engraved with Italian from the refrigerator in his room, and then took out two more glasses and poured the wine into it.
"You know what? I had another deal many years ago. He pushed a glass of red wine in front of Lu Nan, "That guy asked me the same thing, what would I do if he didn't leave when everything was over." ”
Lu Nan looked at him with a frown and didn't go to get the wine. Now he can't usually taste the mellow aroma of red wine.
"It's exactly the same, even if you can't get wine." Ange took a sip of red wine, like a sip of lava, and the sound in his throat became muddy.
Suddenly, a faint murderous aura spread from him, like a fog that suddenly appeared in the morning. Awe-inspiring sticks to the skin, making you shiver unconsciously.
"When the time comes, please allow me to trespass."
He said.
...
Stars shone in the night sky, and crickets hid in the grass and chirped leisurely.
At the outskirts of Biyuan Villa, a man in overalls was lying on the table and snorting. As the only boat charter on the medium-sized island, his business is not good today.
Spring has not yet left, the weather is lukewarm and not a statutory holiday, the recent hot spring business of Biyuan Villa is actually not good, most of the tourists come to climb the mountain to visit the attractions created by the garden master, and few people really spend money to soak in the hot springs.
He only rented a duck boat in the afternoon today, and although the child with the Mickey Mouse balloon was moved by him, the parent still didn't rent an electric boat.
It's so stingy!
"Shop, don't rent boats!"
The pleasant voice was like a natural sound in the man's ears, and he immediately stood up and released his enthusiasm: "Rent, rent, beauty... Hey? Miss? ”
"Oh, you know me?" Nuno stared at the man with wide eyes, "Wait, I see you're so familiar." ”
"Oh, I just went to my house the year before last to receive special training from the instructor." The man grinned and swept around, "Didn't the instructor come out with you to play?" ”
"That guy is dead!" Nono gritted his teeth.
"Miss, now it's time to soak in the hot springs, although it's not bad to have colorful lights all over the island, but it's actually best to pick it at five o'clock in the afternoon." The man immediately changed the subject: "At that time, the sun was setting, and the whole island was shining golden, and it was beautiful." ”
"Do you rent or not?" Nono raised an eyebrow.
"Rent, rent."
The man took out a large stack of keys from under the table, picked out one of them and brought Nono to find it.
It was a very ordinary medium-sized ship, with a beautiful swan head directly above, pale red eyes, and a long neck sticking out. At the stern of the boat are two white wings that look like a swan prostrate on the water.
"I'm not a child." Nuno raised his eyebrows, "Give me the whole one that can burn oil." ”
"Miss, don't look at this ship as ordinary, but it's actually been transformed! Not only does it have an engine comparable to a supercar, but it can also fire! ”
The man inserted the key into the ship's cabin and twisted it, pressing a button, and the two eyes on the swan's head lit up with a dazzling light, and the wings on the tail clicked out, revealing countless dark pipes lurking beneath the wings.
The peacock spreads its wings with beautiful jewel-like feathers underneath its wings, and the swan spreads its wings with beneath its wings...
"I'll go, Gatling!" Nuno was a little surprised: "Isn't this island a hot spring mountain resort?" How do you make such a thing in a place full of tourists?? ”
"Ahh Well... Anyway, this is the best ship, I didn't fool you," the man got up and walked out of the cabin vaguely, "You play slowly, I won't mix." ”
Nono didn't stop him, and excitedly began to study what other interesting things the ship had besides Gatling. Press a red button, and the swan's tail erupts like a supercar's tail flame and disappears into the night.
About twenty minutes after she left, an Ange in a suit leisurely walked out of the center of the island and approached the man lying back on the table. Ask:
"Little brother, is this boat rental?"
"Rent, rent!" The man stood up and nodded, "Do you want to view the island?" Here it is recommended that you choose an electric boat, on the one hand, it is electric and does not need to pedal with your feet. On the other hand, it's getting dark, and the electric boat comes with its own headlights..."
"Please give me one to burn oil." Ange smiled.
The man said hello, got up and took out the key, and took the old man to find a swan boat and send it up, and after the old man got on the boat, he easily found a red ground button and pressed it, and the tail of the swan erupted into flames and went out.
Now that there was no one around, the man looked thoughtfully at the sky.
The stars are still shining in the night sky, and the crickets are still screaming in the grass.

Crickets are burrowing creatures that often inhabit the surface, under masonry, in burrows, and among grasses, and are active at night.
In some of the more superstitious places, it is believed that crickets symbolize the return of the deceased to visit them.
