"No~~~! I haven't given up yet~~~!"
Screaming loudly, Goron turned over and sat up. He was breathing heavily, and sweat was exaggeratedly flowing from all over his body. Goron's mind is now a mess. No, it is filled with sand. Black iron sand, yellow sea sand, and white sea sand are flowing loudly in the little ogre's mind. Goron even Even if you want to think clearly, you can't. After a while, his eyes slowly wandered and he began to observe the surrounding situation.
He was not on the beach. The torn mats under him and the familiar thick canvas above his head told Goron that he was back in his tent again. And he was the only one around.
Suddenly, Gelong seemed to remember something. He looked around anxiously. When he saw a wooden bowl filled with half a bowl of yellow sand not far from his hand, the expression on his face finally relaxed. After coming down, Goron picked up the wooden bowl, but his face had a chaotic expression that seemed to be a mixture of frustration, crying, happiness, anger, sadness, excitement and many other emotions. But if you look carefully, it looks like He was calm and had no expression at all.
"Kaka said that the first thing you do when you wake up is to find your bowl and sand. It seems that she is right."
Goron looked around and saw the blond girl Monica standing at the door of the tent, holding a tray in her hand and looking at him calmly.
"e..." Just as Gron was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the rules set by the magician Black Jack. Before completing the task, he could not drink water, eat, talk to others, or get help from others.
So Goron quickly swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Although he didn't know whether he had been helped by others when he was carried back to the tent after passing out, he never wanted to violate his own rules while he was clear-headed. agreement. Ogres are all one-sided. When he was lying on the beach picking up sand with his butt sticking out, he didn't think about anything else. He didn't know that Black Jack might be teasing him, but since he couldn't It is certain that Nagoron will not consider anything else before completing this task.
Goron wanted to stand up, but his sore back and dry eyes forced him to rest a little longer. Monica walked up to Goron, put the tray in his hand in front of him, and said: "You I only slept for less than three hours, and it’s still dark outside. You should eat something, drink some water, and then sleep for a while. If you don’t get a good rest, your body will completely collapse.”
Gronn took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the tray in front of him, which contained a large glass of water, half a piece of hard bread, and a small piece of sausage.
The trainees in the Fairy Tale Training Camp can only eat at a fixed time and place, and the portions can only barely make people feel full. If you want to eat more, you can go to the trainees ranked lower than yourself. share quota, so many people often go hungry. Although it is not impossible to get snacks, it is not easy to prepare the meal in front of you. If you place it in front of the foodie girl Kaka, she will probably be willing to do whatever you ask her to do.
As if to explain the origin of the food, a small cooing sound suddenly sounded in the quiet tent. Looking towards the source of the sound, Goron saw a blond girl with her hands covering her stomach and her face flushed. She screamed. He explained in a squeaky voice: "Tonight, my stomach has been feeling very uncomfortable tonight, and dinner, dinner is not to my liking, so... just..."
Goron smiled slightly and reached out to push the tray in front of the girl again. Unexpectedly, Monica's face turned cold in an instant: "What do you mean?"
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would be able to connect this cold and aloof voice with the charming and shy voice just now.
"If I don't eat, I will just be hungry. I have been used to this kind of thing since I was a child. But you, you haven't even had a sip of water for a whole day and a half. If you don't eat something, , you will definitely fall ill."
Seeing that Goron still had no intention of eating, Monica seemed to have thought of something, and her originally cold expression became as dark as the abyss of hell.
"Could it be that... you just don't like the food I brought? Or... do you dislike them for being dirty? Then you can rest assured. Although I admit that I am dirty, at least this meal is still clean. of… "
When she said these words, Monica's voice was so cold that it could freeze this tropical bay, but the depth of her eyes was the complete opposite. It was something that would make people heartbroken and uncomfortable after looking at it.
Goron is completely confused now. To be honest, he really has a headache now when he sees the girl in front of him. Her changeability and her kindness make Goron feel like he can't bear it. Although he doesn't know what this damn girl is like. I was confused about where to start, but Goron felt that he should explain it clearly now.
"This is the rule set by Mr. Blackjack. I cannot eat, drink, talk to others, or accept help before the mission is completed."
Seeing the words written by Goron with his fingers on the ground, Monica's face did relax a little, but the sadness and resentment on her face did not dissipate, but was vented to other places...
The girl placed the plate in front of her and started eating ferociously. She acted like a little beggar who could only eat something for a few days. She also seemed to treat the bread and sausages as someone who always made her angry. Such a fool, I wish I could bite him to death one by one.
"Mission, mission, anyway, you only have the mission in your mind, and you are not willing to give up now, then I will wait and see you do the mission until you die!"
Goron smiled bitterly, and then hugged the girl tightly into his arms with a heroic ogre-style hug. He let go before almost crushing her sternum. He looked at it with a dumbfounded face, not knowing what was happening. What's going on, Monica? Goron nodded slightly, then turned around and rushed out of the tent, heading straight to the beach.
Looking at Goron's staggering back every two or three steps, in the shadows outside the trainee camp, the figure of the red-haired girl Suarez swayed a few times in the darkness, and instantly disappeared into the night, and in the Not far behind Su Ya, in a conspicuous position, the black magician, who had been leaning generously on a tent without being noticed by anyone, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky and smiled softly... .
"Youth..."
*************************************************** *************************************************** ****************
Returning to the small beach, Goron breathed a sigh of relief looking at the unchanged beach. He lay down and began to pick up the damn yellow sand mixed in the white beach again.
I don’t know if it’s because of resting for a while. Although Goron feels exhausted, thirsty and hungry now, as if he will faint again at any time, the strange thing is that the whole world in front of Goron seems to be the same as before. Not quite the same.
Although the weather is still the same and the beach is still the same, the work of collecting sand has undergone subtle changes.
In the past, every time Gron wanted to pick out a grain of yellow sand, he had to dig through a large handful of white sand for a long time, staring hard, and carefully remove every grain of white sand. In this way, he often made mistakes, not by accident. The yellow sand was also picked out together with the white sand. The last thing picked up was obviously yellow sand, but when it was put into the bowl, it turned out to be a grain of white local sand.
But now, at a glance, Goron has the illusion that he knows the location of every grain of yellow sand he is looking for. Moreover, the precision of Goron's movements is simply incredible. He does not need to deliberately concentrate or use his heart at all. , as long as you casually stretch out two fingers and pinch it gently, you will definitely pick up a grain of yellow sand and throw it into the bowl.
Maintaining this kind of unconscious behavior that is both like a trance and an overloaded state of mental concentration reaching the limit, Gron is like an extremely precise alchemy machine, monotonous and boring, but extremely efficient. Completing his mission.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky was bright again...
"Look~~~! That fool is still lying there picking up sand. Didn't you hear that he fainted before? I thought I would never see him again, but he was so stupid that he came back again."
Just like yesterday, curious crowds gathered around again, and at this time, Goron's murderous and crazy reputation had gradually been replaced by new labels such as idiot, madman, abandoned and teased by the official fairy tale members, etc., so these The little kids almost forgot about the danger of Gronn and started to get closer.
Finally, the bravest girl even stood directly behind Goron.
"Hey! Ninth place, haven't you seen it yet? Mr. Black Jack is obviously playing tricks on you. You can't really be that stupid. If I were you, I would go directly to the deputy leader of the Blood Red Hat right now. Cry and beg her to find another teacher for you.”
"Hey~~~! Did you hear me? Boy Goron, I'm talking to you~~~!" The girl who thought she was sending a kind reminder found that Goron ignored her at all. A surge of anger arose in her heart. Others hid in the distance and laughed at this idiot. Only she came over with "good intentions" and pointed out the only right path for him. I originally thought that I could get closer to this potential seed who was actually ranked "ninth" even though he was an idiot, and that it might be able to provide some help for me to hit the "single digit" ranking, but I didn't expect that it would be. Such a result.
She found that the ridicule from the boring people around her seemed to include her, which immediately made the girl even more angry.
The girl is very confident in her appearance and voice. The trainees in the entire apprentice training camp are carefully selected from the slave market and orphanage by the official members of the fairy tale. Putting aside their strength, there is no bad appearance. Even the ones before The dead gay Garba, who only loved chrysanthemums but not flowers, could also fall into the category of tall and handsome.
And this girl thinks that in the entire apprentice training camp, except for Suarez, Monica and a few others, she is the most beautiful, but she does not take these people seriously. Suarez is a A muscular man, only weirdoes and perverts with heavy tastes would fall in love with her. Although Monica is charming and charming, her bad reputation is destined for men to only regard her as a tool to vent their desires.
Coupled with a good ranking of fifteenth, the girl is confident that she is the most popular existence among men in the entire training camp. In fact, there are indeed elites ranked in several digits who are pursuing her, and there are more than one person. But she is like this, After taking the initiative to show kindness, he was actually ignored? Can such humiliation be tolerated
Can you bear it
Can you bear it
Looking at the wooden bowl in the hand of Goron, who had his back turned to her, the girl felt evil in her heart. A sinister smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, and she actually flew up with a kick and silently hit the wooden bowl in Goron's hand. Kick away.
This kick is actually wrapped with pure shadow fighting spirit. Not only can the stealth of the attack be greatly enhanced and silent, but also the damn wooden bowl can be kicked into pieces with one kick. As for the sand, it is even more powerful. They will all fly into the sea, and when the time comes, I will ask you, an idiot, to jump into the sea and pick them up.
Imagining Goron's desperate and crazy face, the girl suddenly became very happy, but her kick was even more silent and difficult to detect. The girl is not afraid of Goron's revenge afterwards. She does not think that an exhausted idiot who has been picking up sand for two days without sleep, and who has not received any instruction from a dedicated teacher, can threaten the fifteenth ranking and possess the peak strength of the first level. As a single-digit elite backer, if she had the chance, she wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to kill the ninth-ranked person and officially enter the single-digit ranking.
With good expectations for the future in her heart, the girl suddenly found that Goron, who had his head lowered and his butt raised, his back to her, suddenly raised his hand, and her inevitable sneak attack failed like that, and because Goron raised his hand, The timing of her hand was really perfect, not one minute early, not even one second late. The girl only felt the discomfort of punching hard but hitting the empty space, and her body's center of gravity began to drift away.
At this moment, Goron's other hand suddenly hit him with a backhand. He did not look back at all. This slap did not have any magical fighting spirit attached to it. It was not even a comfortable waving posture. This slap was simply like A casual wave of the palm to shoo away an annoying fly makes no difference.
It was just such an ordinary slap on the girl's face. There was no particularly crisp sound, and there was no special sound and light effect. The girl's head just "swiveled four or five times on the spot" on her neck. , and then the face is facing his back.
Until this moment, the girl still didn't know what happened to her? She only felt that her consciousness was gradually leaving her, and her eyes were filled with darkness. At the last moment, she suddenly remembered that the wooden bowl she had just caught a glimpse of in Gron's hand was already half full...
More than half a bowl of yellow sand.
"It seems... it won't take long for him to pick up all the sand. If I had known... if this was the case... I would... not... not... go..."
