Chapter 20: A Fierce Boy
The sound of fighting came from the back of the house, and Dearlando jumped directly over the garden wall and went around to the back of the house. The wood-paved verandah leads to the kitchen on the ground floor and the balcony on the second floor, where the family drinks tea on a sunny afternoon.
At this moment, Achille was very useless and hung upside down on the balcony, trying to struggle to get up, but he had difficulty moving because he was wrapped in a fishing net. There were a lot of bits and pieces scattered around, stones, ceramic marbles and even knives and forks. Seeing Diarrando, Achille shouted happily: "Boss, here you are, we met a strange child......
Dearlando kicked on the exterior wall, lifted his hand to the balcony floor, and pulled himself up. As a result, as soon as he went up, before he could stand firmly, someone slashed at him with a sword. Dearlando directly smashed down with his elbow, knocked the sword down with a snap, and took advantage of the opponent's surprise to control the attacker at once.
"Let go of me, you lackeys of the Lejo family! I won't let you take my mother!" Because seeing that the sneak attacker was a child, of course Diarrando didn't use too much force, but just crossed the other party's shoulders and lifted him to the ground. The child struggled for a long time, as if he was being caught in an iron hoop, and he couldn't kick the person in front of him with his legs, and finally couldn't help but scream.
He saw Diarlando carrying the pocket-sized self far away like a hot potato, frowned and asked, "What kind of new trick is this?
They had just tried to sneak in from the balcony to observe the strange house, but as soon as they came up, Achille fell into a trap and was not only shot in several places by a slingshot, but also thrown off the balcony by a fishing net. As soon as Fayle found out about the ambush, he cast a few spells on the sneak attacker hiding in the darkness, but found it useless. If his spell is completely invalid, there is only one explanation - he is facing the Liliang of the Starlight Dragon.
Diarrando smiled bitterly, in fact, he recognized who this child was from the moment he looked at it, and from the words just now, he could judge that it was himself seventeen years ago. But God knows, Weishenme would have come out of nowhere.
"Hey, shut up, you're going to wake everyone up like this, aren't you afraid I'll kill them?" Diarlando viciously threatened Trumpet's self, and winced in satisfaction at the other party's expression. Then he began to explain: "We are not from the Lejo family, and it was just an accident to get here." Do you think we look like bad people?"
The trumpet-trumpeting Diarlando looked at the people opposite, then at Il, and Achille, and pouted, "That robed one looks like a bad wizard, and that fool who pretends to be a circus handyman looks like a thief, as for you...... Weishenme: I think you're a little familiar?"
When Diarlando heard the comment, he held back a smile and didn't look at the others who were labeled as badasses and stupid, but followed the child's words: "Yes! You may not believe it, but I am you many years later." ”
The boy tilted his head back suspiciously, looked Diarlando up and down, and then said solemnly, "Prove your claim." ”
Diarlando smiled, thought back to what he had done, and said, "If the fishing nets on the roof and the slingshots in the hallways don't keep the intruders out, they will be attacked by a head-on bag of flour if they push open any window or door on the second floor, and even if they get out of the way, there are a lot of traps placed on their feet." As soon as the trap catches something, an iron bucket full of sand will fall from it and hit the prey......"
A look of shock appeared on the young man's face, and he opened his mouth wide and asked, "How do you know? ”
"Because I'm you, and I'm the one who knows about it, and even the servants in the house know about it, but they all pretend they don't see it. Dearlando smiled and loosened his grip and placed the boy on the ground. Ryses immediately flew to the boy's shoulder and rested, attracting the boy's attention. Diarlando pointed to the young dragon and warned the boy: "Don't try to escape, this is a fierce dragon, if you make any changes, he will bite off your nose." ”
Ryses cooperated with his mouth wide open and spewed out a small fireball that made the boy's jaw fall off in surprise. He reached out tentatively to touch the young dragon, and Ryses snorted and rubbed his fingers against him, then simply jumped into his palm, sniffing back and forth.
Achille leaned in and asked cautiously, "Boss, is this really your childhood? What should we do with him?"
Fayle muttered, "I've been a nuisance since I was a child." He pulled up a chair that had been knocked over in the fight, sat on it, and watched how Deirrando solved the new mess.
"I think we need to talk, okay?" Diarlando crouched down, looked directly at his younger self, and reached out for his consent. The young man looked around, then at the young dragon in his palm, bit his lip or nodded, and stretched out his hand.
However, they did not simply shake hands, but clapped their hands lightly, and then clenched into fists and tapped each other twice on each other's fists before zuihou shook together. After completing this familiar gesture, the young man's expression lit up obviously, obviously believing Dillando's statement.
"Okay...... I barely believe that you are my future me, and you will come to me? Are you here to help me protect my mother?" the young man also straightened a chair and sat down, shook his legs and looked at everyone with bright eyes, and asked with excitement on his face. Reses was spineless and had already bowed down under the young man's light massage, and happily rolled in his palms.
Achille honestly lifted up all the overturned furniture, then sat down and put on a deaf face.
Diarlando looked at the six curious eyes around him, looked up at the sky, and wailed in his heart: "You ask me, who do I ask!!" But he quickly sorted out his thoughts and explained to his younger self: "I have to explain to my two friends what it was like back then, and then explain how we got here." The boy nodded generously in agreement.
"Ahem......" Diarlando coughed dryly to ease his embarrassment, and then explained, "This year is the year 982 of the Astral Calendar, I was ten years old at the time, for some reason I injured the nephew of the Baron de Lejo, and then in the process of mediating the dispute, Wood Lejo, the owner of the Lejo family, fell in love with Elena, and proposed to her......"
"Slow ......down," Fayer and Achille's voices rang out at the same time, and the mage glanced at Achille and raised his hand to signal him to ask first. Achille immediately spoke, "Boss, this is your hometown?
"No! Of course not!" Dearlando hurriedly denied it, it would be ridiculous to fulfill Achille's promise in such an oolong way. "This isn't my real hometown, so rest assured I'll continue to protect you and Luna, and I'll explain to you what the hell is going on. ”
"Oh......" Achille retracted his seat with a confused expression, and then looked at Fayle to see what was wrong with his master.
The mage looked at the young version of Dirrando, and then asked, "You said that you injured the nephew of the Lejo family, how old is his nephew?" Although he saw the fighting power of the ten-year-old Dirrando, he still doubted how much damage a fight between children could cause.
Diarrando hesitated for a moment, and the young man on the side suddenly opened his mouth and hurriedly replied: "Why, do you look down on me, do you think I can't beat him? That dead fat man originally came to invite me to eat candy and show me his collection of weapons and armor, but after tricking me to his house, he said that I had to kiss him before eating." Of course I didn't agree, I'm not a girl, and then I beat him with his candlestick, and snatched the sugar and the dagger. ”
The young man gestured disdainfully as he spoke: "That guy is clumsy like a fat pig, he is very slow to react, and he is afraid of pain to death, and after a few beatings, he cried his father and called his mother, and called the servants to help." If it weren't for the fear of being outnumbered, I would have beaten up their families before leaving. ”
"......" Dearlando was embarrassed to death, and Achille couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss didn't expect that you would be deceived by sugar when you were a child." Fayle didn't speak, but sneered mockingly.
In order to change the subject, Diarlando hurriedly continued: "Anyway, that's probably it, that Fett broke his arm, and then when I escaped, I knocked down the stove or something, causing a fire. Anyway, their family had a lot of trouble and a lot of losses, so they later asked the sheriff to arrest me and punish me. But when my mother went to intercede, the baron fell in love with her at first sight, and then he proposed to her. ”
Speaking of this, Diarlando showed a nostalgic look, and later Wood touched Elena with his true feelings, and then he moved with his remarried mother to live in the Lejo manor, more than twenty miles away from here. The Nikko Festival of that year was a sunshine festival of Zuihou that oneself spent in Garin Village. There is indeed a circus in the village, but it is much smaller, and it is the most common itinerant troupe with only three carriages and seven or eight members.
Is it because of the longing for his hometown and the longing for his relatives that he subconsciously created a self back then?
"I don't think I'm at all wrong in this matter, and Weishenme wants to arrest me and punish me? And the baron is so old, how can he be worthy of my mother! I don't want Elena to marry someone else! If they dare to come to the door, I'll beat them all away!" the ten-year-old Dearlandor waved his little arms and shouted, and then asked expectantly, "Since you are me, you should help me protect this family, right?" I think you seem to be fighting very well. ”
Diarrando walked up to himself and squatted down, and said helplessly: "Wood is not that old, he is seven years older than Elena, and he really loves Elena." I want to tell you that it's now the year 999 in the Starlight calendar, and they have been married and have been living happily together for many years. And we've been away from here for a long time, and we don't live in Garin for a long time. ”
"Liar! My mother is sleeping in the house!" said little Dearlando, who immediately jumped to his feet and pointed to a window on the second floor. Dearlando shook his head, "That's all an illusion, you see we make such a big fuss, if there are really people in the house, will they not come out until now?"
“...... No, you're lying!" The boy immediately pushed open the door to the interior, let go of the trap he had laid himself, and rushed into the house.
