"Ling Han?!"
Heika turned around and saw Ling Han who was hiding behind a rock wall and waving at him.
Just when guards patrolling the waiting area passed by, Ling Han quickly shrank his head, and Heika also turned his head and stood there pretending to be doing stretching exercises.
After the patrolling guards walked away, Heika hurried towards the rock wall Ling Han was clinging to.
"Ling Han, why are you here?!"
"Hey, don't talk, just give me a hand. I'm about to fall."
Heika hurriedly grabbed Ling Han who was crawling on the rock.
Ling Han struggled from this side of the rock wall to the side of Heika. The two of them quietly went to Heika's rest area after making sure they hadn't been discovered.
"Aww~"
Seeing Ling Han, Milk Tank happily jumped towards Ling Han, which startled Ling Han.
"Milk pot, how do you know that I brought you a special product from my hometown?"
Ling Han squinted at the milk pot with watery eyes. Before Heika could speak, Ling Han took out the snacks in his backpack in one go.
"This is dried Qiang fish, this is dried lizard, and this is jelly from bamboo strips. They are all brought from my hometown, and they are guaranteed to be delicious."
While putting things on the chair, Ling Han didn't forget to talk to Heika.
"I won't be able to compete with you after entering the finals. I promised you to watch you compete until the end. I'm so sorry, Black Card."
"What's wrong?"
Heika looked at Ling Han with apologetic eyes.
"I originally told my uncle and them that I made an agreement with you to watch you complete the game. But suddenly a letter came from home, saying that there was something urgent."
"Is it necessary to leave immediately? What happened?"
Heika looked worried.
"The letter only said that there was a problem with the family's business, and didn't mention other details. It just told us to go back quickly."
"Then you came to say goodbye to me?"
Ling Han held Heika's hand with eyes full of reluctance.
"Hei Ka, I really can't bear to leave like this. You managed to make it all the way to the finals, but I couldn't see how you won the championship in the end."
"Ling Han."
Heika was also very reluctant. He finally met a friend who was willing to talk to him on the field in Luo Yagang.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said such a sad subject."
"Then when are you going back? How long can you stay in Luo Yagang?"
"My boat tonight."
"Why so fast?"
Heika didn't expect Ling Han to leave in such a hurry.
"We also received the letter suddenly last night. I was happily sorting out your cards at the time. Who knew that the innkeeper suddenly came over and said that there was an urgent letter.
As soon as I opened it, I knew I had to leave right away.
So this morning I packed up the things I wanted to give you and came to find you. "
Heika lowered his head, his expression was needless to say disappointed. Ling Han also knew that Heika would feel sorry for leaving before the game was over, but he had no choice but to go back as soon as possible because something urgent happened at home.
"Heika, look at the applesauce I brought from my hometown. There are several flavors, how about you try it?"
As Ling Han spoke, he took out several cans of crystal-colored jam from his bag as if offering a treasure.
"Why do you like eating lizards?"
Heika nodded without hesitation.
Ling Han raised his eyebrows, and smiled towards Hei Ka.
"Then I bet you've never eaten dried lizards smeared with applesauce. This is an exclusive secret from our town of Des."
The moment Ling Han opened the lid of the jam, Heika smelled a strange and strong fruity aroma.
Watching Ling Han spread the shiny jam on the cut lizard and hand it to himself, Heika couldn't help swallowing, wondering what the dried lizard with jam would taste like.
Seeing that Heika swallowed the whole dried lizard in one gulp, Ling Han also waited for Heika's response.
"Woo... This is really delicious!"
"How about it? Let me just tell you? This is our Des exclusive secret biography!"
The fresh aroma of apples is mixed with a hint of sea salt. There is not only the sweetness of ordinary fruits, but also the light salty taste that makes the dried lizard in the mouth burst out with its original umami. Heika has eaten a lot of dried lizards since he was a child, but this is the first time he has eaten such delicious dried lizards.
"It's just too... so delicious." Heika chewed the jerky in his mouth, with his hands on his chest, he always felt that his tongue was about to melt.
"Hey, I knew you were going to love this. This one is our Dessert applesauce bestseller. Sea Salt Applesauce, and the rest of the jars also come in Sour Pear and Pimento. Every flavor They are all different~ but they are all delicious, and you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t dislike them, you can try them all.”
Heika looked at Ling Han in surprise.
"Give it all to me?"
"Naturally, I brought you postcards and stamps from my hometown. Oh, look at my brain. And the wristbands I brought from home!"
Heika watched Ling Han stuff himself with stuff, and stared blankly at the metal wristband with the symbol of "Dragon Knight" engraved in his hand.
"Ling Han, this wristband is too expensive."
Ling Han rubbed his nose and laughed, looking at the black card that wanted to reject it.
"It's quite expensive. I saved up two months of pocket money to buy it. The slightly better protective gear on the market is almost [Dragon Knight] except for [Brave]. Don't everyone say Dragon Knight Are your bracers stronger than those of the brave?"
"But it's really expensive."
Hei Ka really didn't want Ling Han to spend so much money.
"Don't be polite to me. During the competition, you need protective gear more than I do. Besides, didn't you lose the protective gear once when you played against an opponent in the rematch? The wrist guard is short of one It's ugly, isn't it?"
Heika could only nod his head when he thought of his wristband that had been carelessly falling off during the match.
"So don't refuse me, I've already finished the game anyway. Instead of taking the trouble to take things out of the house and bring them back intact, I might as well give them to you.
If you feel embarrassed, how about doing me a little favor? "
Heika looked at Ling Han with a bright smile on his face, wondering what Ling Han planned to ask him to help
"Hey, black card, I actually secretly backed you and bought your big bet~"
"what?!"
Heika had a look of disbelief.
"You pretended to be an adult to gamble..." Ling Han covered Heika's mouth.
"Shhhhhh, keep your voice down. I also did it secretly with my uncle's ID. Don't be found out, otherwise I will be miserable when I go home."
"Then you still take the risk to buy a big market?"
Heika looked at Ling Han helplessly.
"Hey~ There's nothing I can do about it. Who made me impulsively argue with a group of blind guys? The group of brats who beat Xuan Qi to win all said that you will definitely lose.
I am not convinced. Why do you definitely lose to Xuan Qi? "
"But even so, you can't... you can't... you are not allowed to participate in these events before the age of sixteen. And what should you do if I lose?"
Ling Han waved his hand towards Hei Ka with an expression of impossibility.
"Please, how could I lose? I'm beating you, the youngest and strongest ace player of the Dragon Academy."
"..." Heika didn't know what expression to make when Ling Han said it.
"Oh, don't worry. It must be because of my consideration that I will pressure you."
"So how many times did you press?"
Facing Heika's scrutinizing eyes, Ling Han scratched his temples guiltyly, his eyes wandering.
"It's the odds multiplier with the red cap symbol on it...haha"
"No! Now we will return the bet you bought!"
Heika stood up and was about to pull Ling Han to withdraw the offer. Seeing Heika's reaction, Ling Han immediately hugged Heika's arm, his face full of tears.
"No, no, no! Absolutely not! Absolutely not! If you want to withdraw the offer, my uncle will definitely know, and I will die by then! Absolutely cannot withdraw."
"But if you lose your bet, you will have to pay the market a lot of money!"
"I know, so I didn't put a lot of money. It's just all my pocket money."
"How much is that in total?"
Ling Han smiled at Hei Ka, and took Hei Ka's hand again to make Hei Ka sit down.
"It's really not much, don't worry. I just want to leave Luo Yagang. When the game is over, you can help me to collect the results. If you earn money, it will be yours."
"Then what if you lose?"
"If you lose?...You definitely won't lose!"
Heika shook his head.
"If you lose, your uncle will definitely be notified."
Ling Han let go of Heika's arm, then heaved a long sigh and Heika sighed, "I hope my luck is good enough."
Ling Han has no idea how much it will cost adults if they lose the game.
Even nobles and wealthy families from all over the world dare not bet on the highest level of betting in the market. However, due to impulse, Ling Han made a choice that stunned many gamblers. As a result, Ling Han himself, who made this choice, didn't know how bad the consequences of what he did would cause, so he pushed all of them to the black card who also miscalculated the consequences.
Heika had no choice but to agree to Ling Han's request. After all, Ling Han's family has urgent matters, and he will leave Luo Yagang soon. If he doesn't agree to help Ling Han get the final result, Ling Han will definitely be in more trouble.
The two seemed to be watching the game together before, discussing the fierce competition between the players on the field.
Ling Han thought that when he met Hei Ka on the first day, he had no idea that he just casually struck up a good-looking player of the same age, who turned out to be a student of the Dragon Academy.
Although when accepting this fact, Ling Han also had doubts. Questioned whether the black card really has the strength to represent Dragon Academy to compete with other elite players, and also questioned whether a child with such an identity as the black card would really accept himself as a friend.
But after spending such a long time together, Ling Han has become more convinced than anyone else that Albert Heika is his friend. Regardless of whether the black card itself is from Dragon Academy or not.
Because they were too focused on watching the game, Hei Ka and Ling Han didn't notice the milk jug secretly sticking their heads on the jam jar.
Milk Can dipped his tongue into the apple sauce that Ling Han brought, but accidentally ate the most exciting hot pepper flavor, and almost spit out fire balls from his throat, trembling and coughing because of the spicy taste.
Heika frantically drank a big bucket of milk for the milk pot, and the milk pot finally recovered.
"Woo~"
The milk jug fell on all fours next to the applesauce brought by Ling Han, obviously losing to the pungent Desel specialty.
Seeing the funny appearance of the milk pot, Hei Ka and Ling Han looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
