Chapter 175: Resurrection of adoptive parents
Seeing the vice president looking at him, Starmark immediately nodded and smiled back.
The vice president smiled and said, "The two granddaughters are not sensible and cause trouble for Xiaoyou." ”
"My kids are also naughty. Starmark said casually, reaching out and pinching Karl's face, but the latter grinned in return.
The vice president smiled, Star Scar thought he would say something to himself, but he didn't expect the other party to speak again, and even Rocco, who seemed to want to speak, was stopped by his eyes.
This is the end of the pyramid matter, and after the death of Osiris, what impact it will have on the pyramid, no one knows. The pyramid is still completely locked down, but more often than before, some members of the Assassins' Guild are seen going in to investigate.
Starmark and the others returned to their residence, and this time, for some reason, Lucci did not choose to go with Starmark and the others, but returned to his residence alone under the supervision of the Assassins' Guild.
That night, Starmark, who was resting in his room, received a notification from Smack that Luffy was going to use the Staff of Eternity.
Hearing that Luffy was going to use the Eternal Chapter, how could Carl not join in the fun, and immediately shouted to help Lucci. Although Starmark didn't speak, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes that was difficult to hide. The gold coin was still asleep, and Starmark didn't want to wake her, so he left her in the hotel. If it was before, Starmark might still be worried, but after seeing the strength of the gold coin, and the Assassins' Guild promised to send someone to take care of the gold coin, Starmark didn't need to worry.
With Woo leading them, Starmark and Carl arrive at an oasis called Nian En located southeast of Monroc. The calm surface of the lake ripples in circles in the breeze, and there is a giant tree beside the lake. After the introduction, this giant tree is very peculiar, its leaves are evergreen all year round, and the leaves will always produce a layer of silver frost, when the branches sway with the wind, there will be a little silver light sprinkled, as if the deceased soul shed tears because of the longing for his hometown relatives, so this ancient tree was named homesick tree.
Behind the Homesick Tree, there is a small mound of sand where all the dead residents of Monroc are buried. At this time, Lucci was standing by a pile of sand, and behind her there were several other people, who were no strangers to Starmark, including Rocco, Christa, and her grandfather. There were also some people around, Starmark hadn't seen them, but judging by their attire, they were supposed to be from the Assassins' Guild.
Starmark nodded at Rocco and the others, pulling Karl to stand beside the others.
"Little Luzi, Ka..." Karl was about to step forward to greet Luffy, but was pulled by Starmark.
Today Lu Qi wore a white dress, although this skirt looked very cheap, but it was well maintained, and there was no wrinkles and stains on the white dress. This is the first time that Lu Qi has put on women's clothes in front of everyone, and she is much quieter after resuming her women's clothes.
Lu Qi held a bouquet of yellow flowers in his hand, named Yueqi, although it was not precious, but it was very rare in the desert capital of Monrok.
Lucci stood in front of the sand dunes for a long time, her hand holding the flowers, trembling slightly because of nervousness, and her bright eyes were already covered by a layer of mist.
Lu Qi slowly knelt down, carefully placed the moon flower in his hand in front of the sand dune, and said softly, "Mom and Dad, I'm coming to see you." ”
Hearing Luffy's words, everyone present lowered their heads, especially Christa, whose head was buried at the bottom, and her lips were already bleeding slightly because she had bitten too hard, because she knew very well that it was Ruchi's adoptive parents buried under the sand tomb.
A breeze swept in, and the homesick tree spilled a little silver, as if in response to Lucci's words. Luffy stretched out his palm, and several silver dots of light fell into her palm, looking at the silver light that was about to disappear in his hand, Luffy suddenly clenched his hand.
At this time, a hint of determination appeared in Luffy's eyes, she took a deep breath, raised the Staff of Eternity, and said loudly, "Staff of Eternity, please help me resurrect my parents." ”
Hearing Luffy's voice, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, especially Rocco and the others, who showed a look of vigilance, no one had ever used the Staff of Eternity, and no one knew what would happen.
But after a few breaths, Rocco and the others' vigilance seemed a little redundant, because nothing happened, everything was the same as before, only the breeze blowing, which became colder and colder as the night wore on.
Ruchi looked at the scepter in her hand in a daze, her eyes full of anxiety, and she shouted again, "Staff of Eternity, listen to my command, please resurrect my parents!"
"I command you, resurrect my father and mother!"
"Resurrect them, don't you hear!"
"Please, resurrect them... I'll do whatever it takes!" Rudge shouted, and by the end she was begging for the ornate scepter, full of tears.
The Staff of Eternity was placed in front of Ruchi, and she kept kowtowing to it, hoping that it would move and help her.
But all this was in vain...
Looking at Luffy's appearance, everyone's mood was very low, even the Assassin Guild and others, who were worried about the Staff of Eternity, couldn't help but sigh with regret. Starmark took a light breath, a mixture of sympathy and disappointment in his eyes. Among all the people present, I am afraid that Starmark is the one who wants Ruchi to succeed the most, because he also wants to be resurrected by the Staff of Eternity.
Christa's eyes were already red, and seeing Ruchi's painful appearance, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran forward to take Ruqi into her arms.
"Lucci, don't do this... Don't beg for it anymore..."
Even on the sand, Lurgy's forehead was already stained with blood, and when he was taken into Christa's arms, Lucci immediately struggled violently: "Let go of me! Let go of me! Get up, don't stop me from resurrecting them!"
The next moment, a mutation appeared!
A black gas flashed in Luffy's eyes, and Christa only felt that the strength of her sister in her arms had suddenly skyrocketed a hundredfold, and she had been thrown out by Lucci by surprise. At the same time, Lucci slammed his head on the sand again.
This scene surprised everyone, Christa's mysterious power was nearly seventy levels, and Lucci was just an ordinary child, who would have thought that Lucci would be able to throw Krista out.
At the same time, the sound of Lucci's crying came again.
"Please, Staff of Eternity, whatever you give, I will give it to you if you can resurrect my parents!"
At this moment, no one noticed that a drop of blood flew out of Ruqi's broken head, and landed right on the purple gem at the top of the Staff of Eternity.
In the next moment, the Staff of Eternity suddenly released an incomparably dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire oasis as if it were a white sun.
Everyone looked at Ruchi with shocked expressions on their faces. And when they looked at Lurgy, their hearts trembled, because there was a young man and woman beside Lucci at some point.
Lu Qi raised his head and looked at the young man and woman in front of him in a daze, her body trembled even more, and tears escaped from her eyes uncontrollably, but this was no longer pure sadness, but tears of joy.
"Mom and Dad!" With a cry, Luffy threw himself at the couple, but what Lucci didn't expect was that she went straight through her adoptive father and adoptive mother and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the young parents were also anxious, and hurriedly reached out to help Ruchi, but their hands, which also penetrated Ruqi's body, could not catch him at all.
"How so?" Rudge turned to look at his adoptive parents, who were right in front of him, but Rudge couldn't reach out and couldn't touch them.
"It can't be, it won't be like this. Luffy shouted in a panic as she picked up the Staff of Eternity and shook it vigorously while shouting, "Why can't I touch them, why!"
However, the Staff of Eternity no longer shines, it is like an ordinary scepter, no matter how much Ruchi wiggles it, it does not react.
Lucci's mood became more and more anxious, resurrecting her adoptive parents had been her wish for many years, and after so much suffering, she finally got the Staff of Eternity, and her adoptive parents appeared in front of her. But Lucci couldn't touch them, not even their voices.
Seeing that the wish is about to come true, but the last point is even more disappointing than failing from the beginning. In a fit of rage, the Staff of Eternity had been tossed aside by Luffy, and she didn't want to waste any more time with her adoptive parents.
"Mom and Dad, can you hear me? Mom and Dad, I miss you so much!" Ludge ran over, her hand waving desperately in the air, trying to grab her adoptive parents, but no matter how much she tried, it was still empty.
The young men and women seemed to hear Luffy's words, they nodded, and said something in their mouths, but the voice Lucci and the others couldn't hear it at all. It can only be seen from the expression that the man and woman are very distressed about Luffy's appearance, and the man is also trying to catch his daughter, but his hand is like Lucci, which can only pass through the other party's body, and the woman has already burst into tears, covering her face and crying bitterly.
"Why, I can't hear you, why, even if I hear you again, Mom and Dad, please come back, come back to me. It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be..."
At this point, Lucci couldn't stop crying, and Luffy's adoptive mother shook her head desperately, she kept saying something to Lucci, but no sound could be heard.
