Chapter 23 Eventful Times
In the end, Caesar still did not agree to Long Qiqi's request. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he saw that the girl was alone for a few seconds, quickly put away all her tears, and then held her head high and turned to leave, Caesar almost said yes.
Because while trying to make a gesture that she is not vulnerable, the last remaining trace of warmth and light on the girl's face and eyes seems to have disappeared.
"Babble......" The little dragon looked at the slowly closing door and pulled Caesar's hair vigorously.
Caesar had a complicated look of struggle on his face, and finally shook his head with difficulty, but firmly.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to sweep the meeting with Long Qiqi out of his mind, Russell may be coming soon, and what Caesar can do for Long Qiqi is not to show any flaws in front of Russell. Russell was a very smart man, sharp to the point of even sensitivity, and if he knew that Long Qiqi knew about his identity and Caesar's, he would definitely do something terrible.
As a result, Russell did not come to Caesar.
Caesar was no longer in the mood to cultivate.
He came to the top floor of the dormitory, sat on the edge of the rooftop, looked at the night of Phoenix, and did not sleep all night, just silent, watching.
Caesar didn't know what kind of sad hurdles Long Qiqi had encountered, so she would have such a fierce reaction, she was obviously a pure and beautiful girl, but her eyes were full of indifferent stubbornness.
Just like you used to be.
At that time, was he also like Long Qiqi, who felt that the whole world had abandoned him, so he was indifferent, sensitive, irritable, and rude......
But I really want someone to help me.
Caesar remembers that once when he was taking a bath at night, he looked at the bruises and scars everywhere on his body, and suddenly he didn't feel pain, nor did he feel sadness, but he was not numb, because at that time Caesar felt that he was going to be unable to live, as if there was some core kinetic energy that supported the body and soul to continue to exist in this world, and he was injured and crushed.
Later, Caesar had Xiaolong, Teacher Lan, friends like Nono and Pit Dad, and people like Hongyi who were willing to fight to save themselves.
Yes, Caesar is actually still somewhat aware of the mind of the red cloth.
"People need help after all. Caesar muttered in a low voice, "But what did I just do, although her attitude was very awkward, but her eyes clearly said please help me...... I...... I actually refused......"
"But what can I do? I had to appear as a masked blacksmith that day, and Kaka's identity would disappear temporarily. ”
Caesar scratched his hair in frustration, thinking that even if he couldn't help, he shouldn't have made that kind of rejection. People who lack warmth will actually be much better with just a little warmth.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"
A voice sounded in the background.
Not Russell's voice, but ...... Hughes.
Caesar didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I'm not in a good mood, so I can't sleep here, so I come here to blow the wind...... Are you looking for me?"
"Earth Street's masked blacksmith selection, you know?" Hughes sat down beside Caesar on his own.
In this way, the two men sat almost side by side, which made Caesar a little uncomfortable. However, out of politeness, he did not move.
Caesar's face was impassive, and he said nonchalantly, "You know, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I heard the news after the class - in today's audition, there are god-level figures, and there are two. Hughes looked into the depths of the night and said slowly.
Caesar laughed, "Can a person like you be shocked? I thought you would never be surprised, you would always be the same poker face." ”
"Oh, actually, I'm so surprised by my real expression now, it's just that this Philo's face is more paralyzed. Hughes said.
"Well, that's a ...... Is it a joke?" Caesar was a little out of tune with today's Hughes's style.
Hughes smiled, then his eyes became serious, and he whispered, "Divine craftsman, after all, it is different. ”
He paused, then continued, "There are many other things that I don't care much about, but the energy that the Divine Craftsman can attract is too great for anyone not to be shocked. ”
Caesar was a little unimpressed, after all, his divine strength was too easy to come by, so he couldn't feel the preciousness and weight in it.
However, Hughes's next words immediately made Caesar start to have some ideas.
"I heard that at the end of the mask blacksmith selection, there will be a masquerade party on Earth Street, so I'd like to check it out now. Hughes said with a smile, "If nothing else, the military department, the forest clan, and the big family of the imperial capital, including the Twelve Round Table, will all send heavyweight representatives to participate." ”
Caesar was stunned, and for no reason a little nervous, probably because he was afraid of revealing his identity.
He asked uncertainly, "There shouldn't be such a big battle, right? ”
Hughes glanced at Caesar and said lightly: "After all, the gods are different, let alone two." ”
Caesar pouted: "Don't be so sure, don't forget that your current identity is just an ordinary teacher in a military academy, where did you get so many news channels." ”
"There's no news channel, I'm just speculating. Rest corrected.
"It's just speculation, and it's true?" said Caesar, disdainful.
Hughes glanced at Caesar again and smiled: "Don't forget that I used to be a member of a big family, and my judgment of the wind direction and situation of the empire is still relatively accurate. ”
Caesar was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
He naturally knew that Hughes was a member of the big family, and the Roy family, which was once one of the three major families in Aoki City, no longer existed. All Hughes' people, including Shabier and Leo, no longer exist in this world. Caesar looked at Hughes with a calm face, and his heart was slightly cold.
Hughes this person...... It's really weird.
Really not a normal person.
"Is there anything else?" asked Caesar, who had suddenly lost his interest in talking.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask, are you going to the masquerade blacksmith that day?" Hughes asked, and then explained more, "You know, the scale of the banquet is huge, and although the two of us are in the identity protection program, it's okay to go in and find an inconspicuous corner, watch the show, and have a good time." ”
Caesar listened, and without much thought, he shook his head and said, "No." ”
"That's right. Hughes was a little regretful, but he didn't say anything more, got up and smiled, "Forget it, I thought it would be interesting, so I wanted to find someone to go and see it together." ”
Caesar said in a sullen voice, "Isn't the banquet just about eating and drinking?
Hughes looked at Caesar strangely, and looked at it for a long time, until Caesar felt very uncomfortable, and then said lightly: "Do you pretend not to understand or really don't understand?"
"What?"
"Recently, the empire has been eventful, the three major generals of the military department are not in agreement, and the matter of the three parties of Earth Street, the Twelve Round Table and the Earth Street joining forces to protest against the military department has not really ended, and the Earth Street is also divided into two factions. Caesar, you must know that there will soon be a contest between the north and the south, so the unification of internal forces is a very urgent and objective requirement. ”
"In this situation of stalemate between the forces of all parties, two divine craftsmen suddenly appeared, and this is the winner and loser. ”
"The choice and position of the two divine craftsmen will directly determine the future situation and direction of the empire, and the time and place are above that masquerade banquet. ”
"Understood?"
After Hughes finished speaking, he frowned and looked at Caesar with a stunned face.
Caesar Qiang laughed a little, swallowed his saliva for a while, and said, "It should be...... Not so exaggerated...... Right?"
"Then we'll see. Hughes shrugged, turned away, and emphasized again without looking back, "Remember my words, the Divine Craftsman is different, comparable to the powerhouse of the Zhenguo. ”
