Chapter 17: The Magical Dream
"Roar, roar" Lucius stood on the edge of the airship, stretched out his hand to caress the clouds floating around him, his face was filled with a smile of sunshine excitement, at this moment he was more like a child, without the calmness and ferocity of the previous fierce battle.
Throughout the deck of the airship, everyone was infected by Lucius, and all of them had smiles on their faces, as if they had not just fled after a fierce battle, nor were they going to explore the ruins of the Fallen Sanctuary, but to take the airship to the Misty Forest for sightseeing and play.
The guys at Longquan Restaurant on the airship, looking at the sunny and pure smile on Lucius's face, also had a smile on their faces, and temporarily forgot the crisis that was pressing on their hearts.
The dwarf Blaino got another large glass of ale out of nowhere, and while drinking the ale, he looked at the excited Lucius, burped and said, "Hiccup, this kid is really a living treasure, we are obviously fleeing, but he can still be so happy." ”
Hearing this, the minotaur walked over, snatched the oak wine glass from Brenor's hand, raised his head and drank the ale from the glass, wiped the wine from his beard, threw the oak wine glass to Brenor and said, "Hehe, don't be so nervous, we have already left Brenos, there is an airship, and the Holy See and the Temple can't catch up with us." ”
"Hey, hey......" Brianor jumped up and snatched the oak glass, looking at the empty glass, the dwarf yelled at the minotaur angrily, "Kane, you bastard, you actually drank all my ale." ”
"Hahaha...... Belch...... What do you want, dwarf, and you want to fight me?" Kane the Minotaur laughed unconcernedly.
Seeing Kane's arrogant appearance of laughing wantonly, Brenor was angry, jumped up in annoyance, and slammed the oak wine glass in his hand at Kane's bull's head.
"Bang" The oak wine glass smashed on the cow's head, Kane suddenly retracted the smile on his face, looked at Blenor angrily and said: "Shorty, you dare to do it, damn guy, today I want you to know, how many horns does the cow have in his lord." ”
"Ah......h
Seeing the minotaur and the dwarf fighting, the other people on the deck not only did not stop them, but shouted loudly one by one: "Hey, Brenor hit him, hit him, yes, hit his bull's mouth." ”
"Oh my God, Kane, what are you doing? Kick him with your hooves, kick him, yes, yes, great, put your bull's head and horns on him, yes, let him know that the bull has two horns. ”
Soon the deck was lively, and Lucius was even more excited, swaggering on the deck and sitting down and shouting: "Come, come, open, open, everyone, bet, see if the minotaur can win, or the dwarf is stronger, come, come, bet, bet." ”
Seeing Lucius sitting on the ground to open a bet, everyone on the deck was dumbfounded, especially seeing Lucius like a casino guy who opened the stall, which was in stark contrast to the pure smile he had before.
Regarding the stark contrast between Lecius, Epli pursed her lips in disdain and muttered, "Hmph, it's just a little scoundrel." ”
Obviously, Epli still had a prejudice against Lecius, but she smiled happily and enjoyed the rare peace and joy in front of her.
Seeing that the guys of Longquan Restaurant were betting one after another, in the end, even Shu Le De of the Temple of Nature took out a piece of magic crystal that he treasured and bet, and the minotaur and dwarf over there had already reached dozens of rounds.
Suddenly, Du Liniang's lion roar came from the cabin: "Enough, Lucius, you little bastard hurry up and roll in for me, what should everyone else do, if you dare to toss blindly, the old lady will throw you all down." ”
Hearing Du Liniang's lion roar, everyone on the deck of the airship was like a mouse hearing a cat barking, and they hurried back to their respective posts almost instantly, and even the minotaur and dwarf who were scuffling on the deck quickly separated from each other.
But when everyone remembered and wanted to go to Lucius to get their bets back, they found that there was still a trace of him on the entire deck.
The dwarf slapped his forehead and said in remorse: "Damn, I was tricked by that kid, he swept away all our bets." ”
The people on deck came to their senses, and realized that before they were paying attention, Lucius had already rolled up all his bets and fled.
However, even if he knew that Lucius had swept away all the bets, no one dared to go to the cabin to find him, you must know that Du Liniang had given an order, and everyone would not dare to disobey Du Liniang's order, so everyone could only hate in their hearts and return to their respective posts.
Lucius rolled up a pile of bets and slipped into the cabin silently like a little money fan, counting the bets he had gotten as he walked towards the cabin.
He had just taken two steps, but felt empty under his feet, leaned forward, and ......before he could let out a scream, Lucius rolled down the stairs under his feet into the depths of the pitch-black cabin.
"Bang" rolled all the way down and fell to the ground, rubbing his sore limbs and raising his head, he found that the environment in front of him was very familiar, like the basement in the secret room before.
When Lucius looked around in a daze, Du Liniang's voice suddenly came: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and follow me." ”
Hearing Du Liniang's voice, Lu Xiusi suddenly raised his head and followed the sound, but saw Du Liniang walking out from behind him at some point.
Du Liniang didn't say much to Lucius, she walked along the corridor to the depths of the basement by herself, seeing Du Liniang's silent and solemn appearance, Lucius restrained the smile on his face, quickly stood up and stuffed the pile of bets into the leather bag around his waist, patted the dust on his body and kept up with Du Liniang's pace.
Walking down the dimly lit corridor to the first closed door, Du Liniang reached out and pushed the door open.
Lucius stretched out his head to look inside the door, which was transparent and bright, it was the entire wheelhouse of the airship, and the wheelhouse was surrounded by transparent glass on all sides, which could clearly see the surroundings of the airship.
At this moment, several goblins and gnomes were busy in the wheelhouse, and when they saw the hatch being opened, they ignored it and continued to busy their own work.
Du Liniang didn't stop long, led Lucius to continue walking inward, walked to the second door, stretched out her hand to open the door, and a deafening roar suddenly came from inside the "boom".
Lucius barely had to look to know that the door must be the entire airship power room, and sure enough, a goblin in a work uniform stuck out his head.
Seeing Du Liniang, the goblin exclaimed, "Dear boss, do you have any orders?"
Seeing that the goblin stretched out his head and asked curiously, Du Liniang waved her hand to the goblin and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and work, hmph, you will know that you are lazy when you have the opportunity." ”
Hearing this, the goblin hurriedly retracted into the cabin, Du Liniang closed the cabin door, and led Lucius to continue walking, opening all the cabins on both sides of the corridor for Lucius to see.
In the end, the two came to the door of the cabin at the end, and when they opened the door, they saw that the green cocoon that had grown into a towering tree inside, and at this moment Lucius finally understood that the airship he was in was the underground secret room of the Longquan Restaurant before.
Seeing Du Liniang walk into the tree-lined cabin, Lucius naturally didn't dare to slack off, and walked into it with a step.
As soon as he stepped into the cabin, the scenery inside changed abruptly, turning into an endless wilderness, and he and Du Liniang stood under the towering trees in the wilderness.
Lucius was stunned by the sight, and in a trance he seemed to understand that the airship he was in was actually a product of magic and machinery.
Du Liniang looked up at the big tree, and said to Lucius behind her, "How is it?
Hearing this, Lucius scanned the surrounding wilderness, and finally looked at Du Liniang and smiled: "Hehe, it's really wonderful, auntie, are these made by you and your men? It's like a dream." ”
"Well, the name of this airship is 'Magical Dream', and it was built according to a drawing that circulated in the ruins, and I didn't expect that after many years, it would fly to that ruin. ”
Du Liniang's face showed a look of amazement, as if she remembered many of the past, and stood there in a daze for a long time before she said to Lucius: "Lucius, I know that you are the son of the king of the Brotherhood 'Lu', and your teacher is also the backbone of the Brotherhood, the old alchemist Nestor. ”
Hearing Du Liniang mention her father, Lu Xiuston became a little excited, reached out and grabbed Du Liniang's sleeve and asked, "Auntie, do you also know my father?
Du Liniang was a little surprised by Lucius's excitement, thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Nestor take you to see your father before you came to my restaurant?"
"What?" Hearing Du Liniang's question, Lucius reacted instantly, knowing that his father was in Brenos City, and he was close to his father, but he never met him.
Seeing that Lucius's expression was gloomy, Du Liniang stepped forward and stretched out her hand to take him into her arms, and comforted him in a low voice: "Child, your father is a very powerful person, and he doesn't meet you to protect your safety." ”
Lu Xiusi stretched out his hand to hug Du Liniang, feeling the rare warmth in Du Liniang's arms, and responded softly: "Auntie, I understand, I know that my father is very dangerous now, so he doesn't meet me, I don't blame him, I will also work hard, strive to improve my strength, and share my father's worries in the future." ”
"Hehe, very good, Lucius, you are a smart child, I believe that you will be able to become a powerful person like your father, and you will be able to fulfill those dreams in your heart. ”
Hearing Du Liniang's affirmation and comfort to herself, Lucius was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Auntie, you, have you seen my mother?"
Hearing this, Du Liniang was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on her face, and she caressed Lucius and said, "Yes, your mother is a beautiful and kind woman, I believe that your family will eventually be reunited." ”
The brief warmth made Lucius and Du Liniang feel peaceful.
But suddenly there was a loud "boom", and there was a huge tremor in the surrounding gorgeous wilderness, and the sky seemed to be about to crack when I saw the tremor under my feet.
Du Liniang's expression froze, pushed away Lu Xiusi and said sternly: "Lu Xius, the group of people from the Holy See and the Temple are chasing after you, you have to remember that if those cabins before, if you encounter danger and the airship can't resist it, you immediately take the three people from the Natural Temple, come to this cabin, and drive this cabin away, remember, don't hesitate." ”
After explaining, Du Liniang didn't wait for Lucius to reply, reached out and opened the door of the cabin, and suddenly the surrounding scenery changed, and it became the basement before, Du Liniang walked out of the cabin quickly.
Lucius knew that the matter was very tricky, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and quickly followed him out of the cabin and ran down the corridor to the deck of the airship.
