In essence, Char is not a bad person - but this guy is definitely not a good person!
Although he has never done anything utterly conscientious, he has never done anything like murder and arson without batting an eyelid (Bonfret cried under Jiuquan), and he was also very handy in doing things like kidnapping and cheating ( Dodoro squatted in the corner and drew circles... ).
It can be said that for a person like him, although it cannot be said that there is no such thing as "conscience" - it is difficult to say how much is left.
Even if Aslan used a knife across Char's neck, he would not give in; even if the old man knelt in front of him and begged with snot and tears, Char would never soften his heart.
But at this moment, he was shaken, really shaken.
There is only one reason:
There is only one "she" in the whole world.
Perhaps, if it were just a few months ago, what Aslan said, Char would have laughed at the most, and just thought it was an old guy farting—at that time, Char himself didn't have much experience with the so-called love.
But it's different now, since I finally faced the poor Adeline head-on and accepted this somewhat absurd feeling head-on, plus the experience of chasing his wife for thousands of miles... It can be said that in recent days, Xia Aneng has Obviously felt the kind of "sweetness" in the legend.
He even experienced an unprecedented sense of happiness. Whenever Adeline was by his side, it seemed that time would pass quickly, as if no matter what he was doing, no matter how boring it was, he seemed to become interested in it. .
Even, Xiaya occasionally felt that after dinner, with Adeline by her side, leaning on her, the two sat in the yard, looking up at the stars in a daze-in fact, when you think about it, it was a very happy thing.
There is only one "she" in the whole world!
If it is said that in the heart of old Aslan, that "she" represents Aunt Sofia, then, there is no doubt that in the heart of young Xia Leiming, there is also a "she" of his own.
This person, without a doubt, was Adeline.
After listening to the old man's words, Xiaya could suddenly feel the kind of deep sadness in the heart of the old man.
He even had this thought in his heart: Suppose, if, if... One day, Adeline suddenly didn't love herself, left her and threw herself into the arms of others, how sad would she be? Will it be heartbroken like old Aslan
Even if he and Adeline were separated, like old Aslan, after many, many years, he would not be able to see Adeline again...
Thinking that if she can't see Adeline again, it's just that kind of imagination, and Xiaya will feel like she's going crazy!
Facts once again prove a truth: every person who is in love can't help but give birth to a mentality of "May all lovers in the world become dependents", and only those who are in love can't see the side of any tragic love story.
Of course, the kind of guy who shouts "Death to lovers" or "May all lovers in the world be brothers and sisters" all day long, most of them have a bad mentality when their relationship is not going well or when their love hits the rocks...
"I'll take you."
This is Char's final answer.
…
Old Aslan hugged Xi Ya excitedly, he almost broke Xi Ya's bones!
When Xia Ya was about to suffocate, the old man was embarrassed to let go of the turtle, and then smiled shyly: "Thank you, boy! I will definitely repay you!"
Xia Ya breathed for a while before smiling bitterly: "I promise to take you there, no problem, but at least you have to let me know first, where are we now?"
The old man looked at Xia Ya, and then said an answer that drove Xia Ya crazy: "I don't know."
"..." Xia glared at the old guy, then suddenly shouted: "You don't know? How could you not know? You made me dizzy and brought me here! How could you not know where we are?"
Old Aslan rolled his eyes: "At that time, I was in a hurry to take you away, and I knew that Merlin was in the city. If I met her, I was afraid that I would be in trouble, so I was in a hurry and ran all the way behind your back. When I came out, I didn't recognize the direction too much, so I rushed all the way down..."
Xia Ya sighed: "Okay... First, tell me which city gate you took me through? Also... When you ran with me, did you walk in a straight line?"
Old Aslan continued to roll his eyes: "Then how do I remember? I don't want to be overtaken by Merlin and lead you to turn left and right, crossing mountains and rivers, how do I remember how many turns I turned?"
"..." Xia Ya resisted the urge to go up and strangle the old guy (if he didn't know that he couldn't beat the opponent, I'm afraid he really did it), but he still patiently said: "Then, how fast you run, Do you know for yourself? That way I can at least calculate how far we are from Denzel City…”
The old guy finally smacked his lips this time, pondered for a while, touched his chin, and said with a serious face: "My old man can travel thousands of miles and run like flying... It's hard to say at this speed, sometimes it slows down, one day It only ran for thirty or fifty miles, and sometimes running out of temper, a few thousand miles came out in the blink of an eye."
Xia: "…"
The old guy looked at Xia Ya's stunned expression, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "That... The only thing I remember is that when I ran out, I remember that it was already night. I remember that after I ran out of the city, there was a hill not far from the city, and the location of the hill was to the east of me."
"East?" Xia Ya's eyes lit up: "Are you sure it's the east?"
As the commander-in-chief, he was naturally familiar with the terrain around Denzel City, and he also remembered that there was indeed a hill near Denzel City.
"Of course, it's the east!" The old man answered decisively, and then the old guy continued: "Although my old man is a little older, at least the direction is not wrong! Up north, down south, left west, right east! East of me, on my right hand side!"
The old guy said "right hand" with a confident and slow look on his face. In order to strengthen the credibility of his words, he even raised a hand firmly! But... what made Chara collapse is...
This old bastard... is holding up his left hand! !
"...Okay!" Xia Ya sighed and glanced at the old guy quickly: "I made sure of one thing - it turns out that you are a lunatic!"
…
"There are so many questions, why are you so troublesome?" Aslan looked indifferent: "You just tell me where she lives now, and we can just look for it! My old man's wind control is not bad. If you run hard, you can run thousands of miles a day and night without a problem!"
"Ha!" Xia couldn't help laughing: "Okay! Let me tell you, she lives in a small town on the Wildfire Field! Go! We don't know where we are now! You tell me, the Wildfire Field is in the What location! Are we going east or west, south or north!"
Aslan finally froze.
Now the question is simple: where are they
If they're in the south of County More, it's easy, just head north. But what if they ran to the flank of More County? East? West
Even, what if they were in a wildfire now? This is not impossible! When the old guy ran out with Xiaya before, he almost ran in the dark! With his self-proclaimed ability to "travel thousands of miles a day", if he happened to be heading north when he brought Xia Ya out, maybe the two of them are now in the wilderness of Wildfire!
"That... It shouldn't be too far from Denzel City. You are considered a local. Have you seen or remembered any maps?" Old Aslan asked tentatively.
Xia's face darkened: "Map... hum!"
Of course he has seen the map! As the commander-in-chief, he naturally ordered the scout cavalry to search the northern part of More County on a large scale, and drew a military map of almost all the surrounding areas.
But for such a large piece of land, there are at least hundreds of maps collected and compiled! Where can Xia keep all of them in his mind
Thinking of this, Xia Ya simply turned around and left, turned her head and walked in a random direction.
The old guy immediately followed, followed behind Xia Ya and said, "Hey, boy, do you know how you got here?"
"… do not know."
"Then where are we going?" The old man followed Xia Ya with a smile.
"Alas!" Xia Ya sighed: "Let's just walk, hoping to find a populated place as soon as possible, and then determine where we are now, after identifying the direction... Hmph, you will have the opportunity to use the 'traveling a thousand miles a day' you just said ' is up to the task."
Having said that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the old man carefully: "I'm really suspicious now... You can't even tell the road and direction, how did you come to Denzel City by yourself? A guy like you, I'm afraid You'll get lost when you go out!"
When the old man heard this, his face flushed and he said with a low laugh, "That... I... Before I came here, I did take some detours on the way, and I wasted a little time... "
When Xia Ya heard this, she thought, "That's true", and smiled casually: "Oh? What kind of detour?"
The old man smiled bitterly: "My old man has been living in the chaotic territory west of Byzantium for all these years..."
When Xia Ya heard this, her scalp became numb and she couldn't help correcting: "The Land of Chaos is in the east of the Byzantine Empire! Not in the west!"
"Oh? Is that so?!" The old guy closed his eyes and muttered for a while with a sudden realization: "Up north, down south, left, west, right east... Ah! No wonder I went wrong again this time! Well, it's the east, this time I It will definitely be remembered!"
After he coughed twice, he continued: "My old man has lived in the east of Byzantium for all these years... Well, in short, my old man lives on the edge of the Chaos Territory. I don't really deal with the elves in the sea of trees, and I also Too lazy to look at the arrogant faces of the elves, I found a barren mountain to live by myself, well, to be precise, I have lived there for more than 20 years, studying swordsmanship... Well, I received a letter from Merlin a few days ago. Raven messenger, I just found out that she has an adopted son... Don't look at me like that, it's you! I also know that her adopted son is going to have a wedding. Hmph, Merlin and I have always been different, but after all, we old guys, fight She has been making trouble all her life, and finally she still has some affection. She also remembers to notify me of her adopted son's big marriage - hehe, actually I know that she is trying to extort some benefits from the hands of us old people to be yours. Congrats! Boy, it looks like Merlin loves you so much! I've never seen her treat anyone so well in my life—oh, except that old drunk."
Xia Ya's eyes lit up, and then he resisted the urge in his heart, as if calm, and said in a casual tone: "Old drunkard?"
"Ha! That guy is a genius - a man who can make a monster like Merlin unable to do anything, what is not a genius? Hehe!"
After listening to Aslan's words, Xia couldn't help but feel a sense of honor. How to say that the old alcoholic is also his adoptive father, others praise his own father, and he is honored to be a son...
"...But that old drunkard is a genius, but he is not a good person. Among the people I hate the most in my life, he will be ranked second! He is even higher than the position of Hannigan, the god emperor of Odin!"
Aslan suddenly changed his tone, with a gnashing expression on his face.
Xia Ya was stunned: "Uh... oh? Why is this?"
He looked at Aslan's expression and said cautiously: "You... and God Emperor Odin should be rivals in love? Why isn't he the person you hate the most?"
"… no."
Aslan's face changed, as if his eyes were a little complicated, and he finally sighed again: "That guy Hannigan... He... Well, although I am hostile to him because of Sophie's relationship, even I have to admit that that The guy is indeed an amazing guy! His brilliance and arrogance are far inferior to me. If it weren't for Sophie's relationship, I'm afraid I would have broken my heart for him! Such a man Guy, if it wasn't for Sophie, I'd love to be friends with him and even admire him..."
Hearing that Aslan actually praised God Emperor Odin so much, Xia was even more surprised.
Heart to heart... If a man can be so convinced to praise his rival, then this rival must be extraordinary!
"Uh..." After a while, Xia Ya continued: "You said that the old alcoholic is the second most hated person in your life, and the Emperor Odin is the third... Then who is the number one? ?"
"Hmph, the number one is naturally that one..." Yaslan was about to say it with hatred on his face, but he suddenly closed his mouth, glared at Xia Ya suspiciously, and said unhappily, "Little guy is talkative! What are you asking about these things! Don't ask more about things you shouldn't know."
