Chapter 177: Yin and Yang (II)
"They—" Karl was about to speak, but Luffy's hand was already on his mouth.
Ruchi was already in tears, her body was shaking, tears falling down her cheeks to the ground. But Lucci kept his smile on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "They're all there, I know, they've always been there for me, but I can't bother them anymore." ”
Lucci's words silenced everyone again, and Christa burst into tears, they all knew that Lucci had understood that she would never see her adoptive parents again, but she still forced herself to laugh, because this was an agreement with her parents, even if it was a very cruel agreement...
"Thank you, Carl. At this time, Lucci came to Karl's side, and the next moment, her slightly cold lips were already imprinted on Karl's face.
Karl hurriedly reached out and wiped the place where Lucci had kissed, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing! ”
Lu Qi smiled when she heard this, but she didn't speak, she turned around and walked alone in the direction of Monrok City, her weak back didn't stop trembling, and everyone at the tip of her ears could still hear her soft sobbing...
......
Krista had already been let go of the Star Scar, and she came to Karl and said angrily, "You little pervert, you actually did such a thing to my sister!
As soon as Krista remembered that Karl had kissed her sister, she was angry, and she wanted to fight for Ruchi!
"What kind of thing to do?" Karl said somewhat inexplicably.
"You... You're still pretending to be garlic, and you're kissing her!" Christa blushed and finally spoke.
Carl still didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and said, "What's the matter? I can't get angry with her, how can she hear her parents?"
Krista hurriedly said: "Then you can't kiss her, do you know what it means to kiss a girl!"
"What does it mean?" Karl asked this time.
Looking at Carl's appearance, Christa gritted her teeth and said, "You guy is cheap and good! Do you know that the first kiss is very important to girls! The first kiss is reserved for your lover!"
Karl was suddenly startled when he heard this, and said loudly, "Love! No, Darcy told me that my lover is going to get married." ”
After saying that, Karl pointed at Christa and shouted, "You lied to me, it's not like this, I've seen Atros and Miria when they were about to get married, they didn't do these things." ”
"What's that!" asked Christa this time.
Carl immediately said with a straight face: "They all sniff each other's butts, well, it seems that Atros has licked it a little." ”
Hearing this, Christa's face turned red, and she glared at the star mark viciously, and said angrily: "You big pervert! What have you taught this child! shameless!"
The corners of Starmark's mouth twitched, he really wanted to explain to the other party, Atros and Miria were a wolf and a fox respectively, but obviously Krista would not give him a chance to explain, she had already blushed and ran after Ruchi.
Rocco also came over at this time, coughed a little embarrassed and said, "Star Scar Xiaoyou, although the child is going to be taught early now, it is still early..."
"It's not what you think," Starmark said with a bitter face.
After that, everyone left, Starmark looked at the Staff of Eternity, but gave up the thought in his heart, although he really wanted to see his mother again, but if it was at the cost of dissipation, then he would prefer that his mother could live happily in another world...
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Qi still refused to return to live in the City Lord's Mansion, nor did he recognize his biological father, even though she had learned of her intention to grow up in a poor family. The city lord of Monrok has chosen two children for generations, and will put the two children in different environments to grow up. Chrysta grew up in the Lord's Mansion and studied social governance in the town. And Lucci was placed in a poor family to experience the life of Monroc at the bottom. In this way, when the two children were grown, they would govern Monrok City together, and the most suitable decision would have been made.
Lucci could understand and understand the practice, but there was no way to untie the knot in her heart because of this custom.
In the past few days, Lucci has often gone to Carl, although the two still quarrel every day when they meet, but their respective attitudes are faintly much better. Carl still looks heartless, but he can listen to Lucci's words a lot more than before, at least he won't talk back to every sentence, and Lucci will occasionally say two words in agreement with Carl.
Carl has lived a fulfilling life these days, in addition to playing around with Lucci every day, he went to the city lord's mansion every day to ask about the statue, forcing the city lord to throw out a sentence "Christa is fully responsible for this matter", and began to pretend to be sick and refuse to see guests.
Christa, who put up this mess, gritted her teeth and built a statue of Carl in the garden where she lived under the double torture of Carl and Lucci. Since then, Krista has been punching twice every day when she leaves the house.
Starmark stayed here for a few days, not to go to the Assassins' Guild, but to stay in the hotel every day. There is only one reason, and that is that three days have passed, and the gold coin has not woken up and is still asleep.
Ever since the Pyramid erupted with unimaginable combat power, the Coin has been asleep, at first Starmark thought that the Coin was just too tired, and it would be okay for children to sleep more, but when the Coin slept for a day and a night, Starmark realized that things did not seem to be what he thought.
Starmark tried to wake up the gold coin, but he found that no matter what method he tried to call the gold coin, she didn't respond. If it weren't for the fact that her breathing was still even and her heartbeat was healthy and strong, Starmark would have been in a hurry.
The Assassins' Guild had also sent people to check on the status of the gold coins, but this was not their specialty after all, and everyone who came was full of doubts, shook their heads and left.
......
"What? leaving tonight?" Karl asked, jumping up.
Starmark nodded: "Well, the condition of the gold coins can't be delayed any longer, we have to take her back to Prontera to find someone to see." ”
"What can happen to this broken stone... Uncle Carl hasn't had enough fun with Xiao Luzi... I still want to go—" Carl said reluctantly, but before he could finish speaking, he was stared at by the star.
Starmark said to Karl angrily, "If you don't want to give up Rucci, invite him to Prontera." ”
When Starmark said this, Karl's face suddenly turned red, and he said with a slightly flustered expression: "Nonsense, who is reluctant to give up her, let's go, let's go now!"
"Oh, you don't want to invite me, bye-bye!" At that moment, a crisp female voice came out.
When Carl heard this voice, he was like a cat with his tail stepped on, his hair stood up, and he hurriedly defended: "No, Lu... Ruchi... That's not what Uncle Carl meant, I mean... I'd like to invite you to play in Prontera so you don't have to be reluctant, well, that's it!"
Luffy looked at Carl's appearance and sneered, "In that case, Miss Ben will accept your invitation." ”
After Carl heard this, he immediately showed joy, "Really, great, Uncle Carl will take you to the night market~ Go eat delicious food, and take you to see Uncle Carl's younger brothers, as well as Darcy Military Division, by the way, there is also a statue, that is the statue of Uncle Carl!" Carl said a lot in one breath, and when he saw his appearance, Starmark smiled and shook his head.
As soon as they said to leave, the few people did not say goodbye to Christa, and Starmark took the three children directly to Monroc's teleportation array.
As he walked to the portal, Starmark suddenly stopped, looked at a shadow next to the portal, and chuckled, "Why are you hiding since a few of you have come to practice for us?"
As Starmark's words fell, three people walked out of the shadows, led by the vice president of the Assassins' Guild, and beside him were Rocco and Woo.
Starmark smiled when he saw the three of them, but his eyes were slightly colder, and he said casually: "It seems that there are still some friends who have come to see us off, so don't be shy." ”
At this moment, more than a dozen figures appeared around, all of them were dressed as assassins, and the cold aura they emanated from themselves was all strong.
"Wow, so many people have come to see Uncle Carl, don't be so reluctant, Uncle Carl will come to patronize you in the future! By the way, that old man, you hurry up and urge that yellow-haired girl, let it hurry up and make the statue of Uncle Carl, next time you come, Uncle Carl will see it!"
Unlike Star Marks, Carl was not at all nervous about these people who suddenly appeared, but waved his hand happily to say hello.
Lucci hurriedly pulled Karl and said in a low voice: "Big stupid, they don't have good intentions at first sight!" Although Lucci is just an ordinary little girl, she has lived alone since she was a child, and she has more life experience than Karl, and it can be seen at a glance that these people are not so simple as seeing them off.
"Bad intentions?" Karl scratched his head and looked around at the people around him, although he also felt that something was not quite right, but as for why, he couldn't say.
At this time, the three vice presidents had already walked to the position ten meters in front of the star mark, and the vice president at the head looked at the star mark and smiled slightly: "We are naturally here to practice for Xiaoyou, and Xiaoyou helped us solve the matter of the pyramid, which is the blessing of Monroc and the grace of our Assassin Guild." We will always remember this kindness, and if you have something, as long as you say hello, we will do our best. ”
Hearing this, Xingji smiled noncommittally, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Since that's the case, then thank you, it's cold and windy this night, please go back." ”
The vice president smiled, but his hand was crossed in front of Starmark and the others.
I think it's better to read these two chapters coherently, so I'll release them together. In the future, I will send out similar foreshadowing emotions together.
