At this moment, laughter came: "Hey, uncle, you are so stupid, how can you not see such a simple action?"
Toba's voice sounded: "I didn't know that picking up the teacup meant to tell me to go away! Just say you are going to bed and let us go away. Are you too lazy to open your mouth? Even a noble master can't
You’re so lazy!”
A green shadow flashed past, and Xibi appeared in the house, pointing outside and laughing so hard: "Uncle, if you don't leave, the old man in splendid clothes has carried the tea cup more than ten times, and he is very anxious."
Swearing! Didn’t you see the constipated expression on his face? How wonderful!”
Toba bowed his head and squeezed in through the doorway, sat down on the ground, and complained: "If you hadn't reminded me in the end, how long would the noble master and I have been staring at each other? My buttocks were numb from sitting down. Then
The chair is too small and looks like a toy."
"Is it because you have a big butt? After sitting on your butt half way, someone else's glittering chair creaked. I was afraid that you would break the chair and have to pay for it." Xibi jumped up to the room manager.
The adult's arrow picked up a comfortable position and sat down, with his calves dangling: "Hey, brother, brother Eli, what are you two talking about?"
Elliot was stunned, obviously not good at lying, and stammered: "Miss Sibi, we, we are talking about the current situation in Bazelal, as well as the issue of the combat effectiveness of the earth and the earth dragon."
Xibi turned around and stared at Jonah with his big green eyes: "I don't believe it. Brother, tell me."
The astrologer's apprentice avoided the other person's eyes in panic: "It's just those things, boring topics. Oh, it's so late, go to bed. Toba, what time do you leave tomorrow?"
"Let's set off as soon as daybreak, my lord. If you must go, let me carry you on my back. Your body is still too weak. It's very comfortable for me to carry people on my back. Xibi can testify for me."
Ba replied cheerfully.
Xibi jumped up to Jonah, pinched Jonah's cheeks with two fingers, and came close to his face, the tip of his nose almost touched the other person's nose, "Hey, brother, have you ever cried?
?The eyes are red."
Yona blushed and stretched out his hand to push away Xibi's claws: "Don't talk nonsense! Who is crying? I'm just... just a little homesick."
Upon hearing this, Sibi calmed down, sighed, sat side by side on the bed with Jonah, looked at the fire and said: "No wonder. You have been away from home for less than a month. How about staying home?"
"
The astrologer apprentice hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I have no memory of my home. I followed Teacher Keshava into the Astrology Tower when I was very young. However, I really miss the Astrology Tower and Teacher Keshava. I don't know who he is now.
how."
Xibi stared at him with bright eyes: "Don't worry, brother. After this battle is over tomorrow, Sister Long Ji and Brother Eli will go to the south. It's boring for us to stay here, so why not follow you together?
How about fighting back to St. Bolen and looking for traces of the teacher?——Uncle, what do you think?"
Toba rubbed the back of his head, "If you are willing, sir, of course that's fine. But I don't know if Ye Kong is willing, and I'm afraid that my father will be sad after leaving."
"Tch -" Xibi hissed disdainfully, "Mother-in-law, Jekon will definitely agree, do you believe it? Jekon, we will accompany brother Yona to find his teacher. Wherever he goes, we will go. You can participate.
No?"
The southerner standing in the corner remained silent as always. The Buddha's tooth jumped in the scabbard and made a clanging sound, which was regarded as an affirmative answer.
"Look!" Xibi waved his little fist, "Uncle, what else do you have to say?"
Toba grinned: "Actually, the astrologer has long said that he will canonize me as his knight knight. Eli said that all it takes is a ceremony..."
Jonah interrupted with a headache: "Toba, actually you don't have to be so..."
"...I swear to be loyal to you to the death!" Toba bowed respectfully.
"Then it's settled!" Xibi jumped up happily and took Jonah's left hand. "Brother, please take good care of me in the future. I will inevitably cause trouble for you."
Yona felt warm and flattered. He opened his mouth several times and said, "Thank you... thank you all. But I haven't figured out what to do yet. I think I should continue to follow the traitor Seg."
Les' prediction, Mr. Keshava should be fine. As long as I re-establish contact with the Astrologers Association, I will definitely get news about him." He was suddenly startled, "Speaking of which, I didn't pay serious attention to the next point.
What is the prophecy? I wonder if I can find any clues."
"Have a look." Xibi encouraged, "No matter where you go, we will follow you. Anyway, there is no place to go, and there is nothing interesting to do."
Jonah reached into his pocket and took out a few pages of the unknown book and found the third prophecy:
"On October 29, when the flames fell and the river was polluted, Ayala said to his companions: 'I will wait elsewhere.'"
The next fourth prophecy is even more confusing:
"In the place of eternal light, Ayala and Gamaliel met for the first time. They embraced each other and spoke the words of the saints."
"No date, no place. Now, I have no clue at all." Jonah read it several times and spread his hands.
Elliot twitched his chin: "Gamaliel. This is the name that appeared in the second prophecy."
"Yes." Jonah admitted.
"On October 6, Gamaliel descended from heaven, taking with him all the chosen pagans. Ayala could not see him, Ayala could not hear him, but he dwelt in the palace of bones and was not disturbed.'
Don't go near the mirror,' Gamaliel gave him the advice."
"At that time, for some reason, Lord Jonah, you refused to explain the content of this prophecy." Rose Knight said.
Jonah felt a palpitation in his heart. Yes, the devil had come and gone without a trace. Although it had not appeared again in recent days, this secret could not be told to anyone. He spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Eli...I...
There are still reasons that cannot be explained."
"Of course." Elliot said calmly, "Everyone has secrets that must be kept. In short, the fourth prophecy is a reappearance of the second prophecy. No matter what happened at that time, it will happen some time in the future.
moment, reoccurring in a different form.”
Jonah was stunned, and a chill came to his heart.
The second prophecy is the moment when the devil appears in the world and takes control of his body. So, does "Ayala and Gamaliel meet for the first time" mean that the devil will appear in his true form and confront him face to face?
The astrologer's apprentice was thinking complicatedly. Xibi yawned, stretched a lot, and said: "It's boring, I don't understand. Go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow. If you don't sleep enough, it will be harmful to your beauty."
No, uncle, you should take care of the skin on your face occasionally."
Toba rubbed his face with his big hands and said, "I think my skin is good?"
"Huh, yes, it's like a wire brush." Xibi said, jumped onto his bed, and suddenly asked: "By the way, have any of you seen Sister Long Ji? She hasn't been at home since just now."
"Let's go find her. Sir, would you like to make some tactical arrangements for tomorrow before going to bed?" The Rose Knight patted the unicorn's neck, and the beast took two steps on the ground.
Toba said confusedly: "What kind of tactical arrangement?"
Elliot explained patiently: "No one understands the mission to be carried out tomorrow. Can you explain to everyone tomorrow's route, battle location, terrain, formation, attack sequence, entry and exit strategies?
?”
The Bazeral farmer waved his hand: "Don't mention those things. I haven't thought about the most important issues. How about we make arrangements tomorrow?"
"Okay. Let's all rest first. We will come back later." Elliot bowed slightly and saluted, and the unicorn jumped out of the door lightly and disappeared into the night.
Room A51 became quiet, except for the slight crackling sound of the brazier.
Jonah tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. The unknown tomorrow made him feel anxious, and the story told by the Knight of Rose just now made him have mixed feelings, and he could not calm down for a long time.
After a while, Toba started snoring.
"Brother, can't you sleep?" Xibi suddenly asked.
"...Hmm. Maybe it was because I slept for too long the previous period." Yona smiled mockingly.
"Did Brother Eli tell you about me?" Sibi asked.
Jonah was unprepared for this question, coughed several times, and did not answer.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." The little grasshopper said calmly, "You are all my closest people, that's why I confess my past."
"Sibi you..." Jonah said.
"There's no need to feel sorry for me, I'm fine now." Xibi said, "Brother, do you want to know why my relationship with uncle is so good? There are some things that Eli doesn't know."
Jonah nodded, then realized that they couldn't see each other's movements in the darkness, and said, "Yes, but if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
"Don't worry. You are as busy as uncle." Xibi said, "It's a very simple matter, you can finish it in three or two sentences. In the winter more than a year ago, Zhawi's cavalry broke up where I was.
As a mercenary group, several of my companions and I were chased south from the royal city by assassins sent by the tyrant. My companions died one by one at the hands of the assassins. I fled to the north bank of the Holy River, with no way out, and was struck by the assassin's sword.
Fall into the holy river.
The river swept me downstream. If my uncle hadn't appeared, I would have bled to death, drowned, or died of hypothermia. I don't know which fatal reason would have killed me first. My uncle was on the shore of Cherry Ferry at that time.
During the mission, when he saw me in the river, he immediately jumped into the river to save me."
Jonah said in astonishment: "Going down the river? That's a taboo for people in Colombo!"
The little grasshopper said: "Yes, the Colombo river patrolmen opened fire on him immediately, and the battle was very fierce.
Finally, when the uncle brought me, who was almost frozen into ice, back to the room, he had seven spears inserted into his body, each of which penetrated deeply into the muscles and damaged the internal organs. He single-handedly wiped out the entire small group of river patrollers.
The detachment entered the protective range of Cherry Crossing before the arrival of Colombo's main force, and Dad took over the rest of the work.
That night, my uncle held me, who was completely cold, in his arms, and sat in the middle of the room, facing waves of attackers. Once the combat effectiveness of the A-class tenants dropped, enemies would swarm in like flies smelling rot.
The uncle didn't dare to pull out those gun heads, and he didn't dare to let me go. He waved his fist with one hand and held on all night.
It wasn't until sunrise that my body temperature gradually increased and I slowly woke up. As soon as I woke up, I saw his big face blocking the sunlight, asking me if I was feeling better and if I wanted to eat something. He said it so easily, as if
Those seven spearheads are just like sticking into someone else's body.
He saved my life, but almost lost his own. Mr. Eight Eyes later said that for a normal person, those seven wounds were seven fatal injuries. Even a man with a super strong body like the uncle was still suffering from life and death.
I've been online for ten hours.
Later, I asked my uncle why he jumped into the river to save me. The fool actually said that I looked like his daughter who died shortly after birth. When he saw me, he felt like he was seeing his daughter. Was he wrong?
I'm older than him!
Later, he was recuperating in the room, and I sat in the middle of the room, drew my bow and arrow, and protected him for three days and nights. Later, for some reason, I called him uncle, and he called me little grasshopper.
To me, he is like the kind, kind, nagging father I have never had.
Then one day, we went on a mission around Cherry Crossing and saw W among the powerless people. I recognized him at a glance. My father, the damn northern elf Volstar. He was exactly the same as before, without any trace of him.
Change. I immediately shot an arrow with all my strength. He recognized me as soon as he saw the arrow technique and froze there without dodging.
That arrow was the most vicious attack in the northern elf archery. The arrow cut off the blood vessels and tendons of his left arm, cutting off his life. From that day on, Mr. W could no longer draw his long bow and shoot arrows, and could only continue to fight with his sword.
,——For a northern elf, it’s a bit ironic, isn’t it?
My father did not fight back. I tried so many times but could not kill the man who hurt my grandfather, my mother and me. After returning to the room, I cried and told my uncle about my past experience. Unexpectedly,
, his experience is actually related to my bloodline. Sutherland, that damn Sutherland.
The uncle didn’t blame me, ‘After all, you don’t have that last name anymore,’ he said.
I asked my uncle, what should I do if one day the curse on me breaks out and a woman from the mushroom farm is needed to save my life? The uncle said in his usual hateful and gentle tone, 'We'll talk about it one day.'
I know that he is too kind to hate the things he should hate with all his strength.
That’s it, that’s it. Do you have any questions?”
Jonah was silent for a long time, "...Not only uncle, but also your hatred for Mr. W?"
"I hate him. But if one day, I am about to die, the person I want to see the most before I die is him." The little grasshopper sighed. "It doesn't matter to me. - Just like that. Just like that.
