The red lamp god was strangled like a dumpling. It stood immobile not far from the lamp, with a look of grief and indignation on its face... and then it gradually became helpless.
"So that's it. It seems that Mr. Deng Shen still has a restriction not to hurt others." Boss Luo took two steps forward, came to the side of the red lamp god, and then reached out and tapped on the chains that bound the lamp god.
What made the lamp god's eyes widen was that the chains wrapped around it were loosened just like that... It opened its mouth and said the word "you" several times in succession... it didn't finish the sentence.
Boss Luo shook his head: "I should have no direct relationship with this magic lamp...but you also have your story. I'm talking about the story before you became the lamp god."
The red lamp god was silent, then sighed dejectedly, and then looked at the summoner with full expectation, "You...you really don't plan to make a third wish?"
Luo Qiu didn't speak, just glanced at the patterned cards waiting to be opened, the meaning was already very clear.
The red lamp god frowned. Since it became the lamp god for so many years, it has never seen anyone who would give up making a wish directly... That's all. Your own limitations... How do you say this
"You...you?" The red lamp god suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Luo Qiu with a trace of fear.
Boss Luo shook his head directly and said, "Like I said, I have no direct relationship with the magic lamp itself... Even, from a certain point of view, my situation and yours are actually similar."
The red lamp god stared suspiciously. It temporarily couldn't figure out the rules of the magic lamp of thoughts to restrict the lamp god elves from attacking the summoner.
It could only turn to look at the patterned cards wrapped around itself, then tentatively grabbed one of them and sent it to itself.
"What, you want half of my power?" The red lamp god looked at this randomly drawn card, his face full of disbelief... Even his voice became sharper, "I just want you to make a third wish ! And it’s the third wish that I helped you realize, and half of my strength is actually used as the price? How unreasonable, how unreasonable! How unreasonable!!”
"Compared to the possibility of freedom..." Boss Luo said slowly at this time: "Mr. Deng Shen, don't you think half of the power is already considered cheap? After all, after I make this third wish, it is equivalent to saying the next summon Or, it is very likely to be able to realize the plan of five hundred wishes..."
The red lamp god's fingers couldn't help shaking... Obviously, his heart has been shaken by this possibility, but he still can't figure out why he is the one to help the other party realize his wish, and there are still five hundred wishes to come. Continuous output... Why do I have to contribute half of my power to the other party
How can there be such a reason in the world... Isn't this bullying
"I'm honorable too... Forget it." The red lamp god sighed, threw away the patterned card on hand, then grabbed the second card beside him, and looked at it without much expectation.
"The soul belongs to you after death???"
It was right. The first card had already opened the mouth of the lion. The second card was obviously not simple, but it was the most precious thing, which was completely unacceptable to the red lamp god.
Boss Luo casually gave an official explanation at this time, "This refers to after death... that is, after you, Mr. Deng Shen, have actually died. Maybe you will be able to escape from the magic lamp in the future, and then you will have a long period of freedom... Then In fact, if you always consider the price-performance ratio, I suggest that you choose to give up half of your power."
The red lamp god snorted coldly, "Half the power... are you willing to lose half of the power you have now, just to buy a possibility?"
"I think I'm willing...at least at this stage." Boss Luo suddenly said quietly: "If there is a possibility that appears in front of me... I think, I will be willing, even if it is all."
"Madman!" The red lamp god snorted coldly: "For this power, I am willing to be enslaved by this magic lamp, and now I have almost fulfilled half of my wish... It is impossible for me to give up this half of my power now! My soul is too. It belongs to me, I have had enough of the pain of being imprisoned by the magic lamp, and I don't want my soul to be imprisoned anymore! This is impossible!"
Saying that, it threw out the second card, and then grabbed the third card.
Then its expression couldn't help becoming weird... and then it became silent. It stared at the third card for a long time, then took a deep breath, stared at the boss hatefully, and said through gritted teeth: "You ...perhaps even more hateful...cruel than the person who created this magic lamp!"
"Mr. Deng Shen, do you already have the answer?" Boss Luo acted as if he hadn't heard it.
In fact, there are only three cards in total... The red lamp god has seen all of them now, but it is hesitant at this time, so it gritted its teeth and said, "I need to think quietly."
After all, the red lamp god turned into a puff of red and black smoke, and immediately poured into the room where the magic lamp was placed among the magic lamps, and suddenly became dim and extremely quiet.
Because he had to wait for the lamp god to make a decision, Luo Qiu naturally wouldn't leave silently before the customer had an answer... He looked at the way he came.
On the way here, Claudia hadn't appeared yet. She was still in the process of getting the magic lamp.
…
…
All of a sudden, Claudia was here... or rather, back in a place she knew and where she lived.
"Father?"
She came after that familiar figure, but she didn't know why she came back here... Everything at home was so familiar to her, even with her eyes closed, she would not bump into the wall.
A figure flashed past upstairs, Claudia was startled, and quickly chased after her. She came to the room at the end of the corridor, opened the door and entered. The place where you spend the most time.
"Father!"
The moment the door was opened, the sun pierced into Claudia's eyes. In front of the window sill of the study, Professor Xie Jiatu was holding a pipe, wondering what he was thinking.
He heard Claudia's call, turned around, and showed a kind smile: "Oh, Claudia, it's you, what's the matter?"
"Is it really you..." Claudia walked slowly... Quickly, then quickly, three steps and two steps, and threw herself into Professor Xie Jiatu's arms, "Am I dreaming?"
"What's the matter, Claudia?" Professor Xie Jiatu frowned, and while stroking his daughter's head, he asked softly, "Is there anything unhappy? Did you get bullied by your classmates again?"
"No, I'm just too happy." Claudia wiped her tears, looked up and said, "Besides, I haven't been bullied for a long time, since I learned Taekwondo! I'm very good now!"
Professor Xie Jiatu smiled cheerfully, and rubbed Claudia's head again: "Really? I've only been studying for less than a month, and I've already become very powerful. She is indeed my daughter."
"What a month, I have learned almost eight..."
It had been eight years since she had said it first, but only now did she realize that her father was much taller than she had imagined, and she could only reach the height of his chest.
Father, when did you become so tall
No... It's that she herself has become smaller, back to her childhood appearance when she was always bullied and teased... It's just because she has developed more maturely than ordinary children.
That's why she learned some self-defense skills under Professor Xie Jiatu's suggestion... That year, she was only fourteen years old.
Time time time... have you turned back time
She suddenly became groggy, and her body suddenly lightened while she was groggy. It should be her father who picked her up... When I was a child, my father would always pick me up when I was asleep.
…
It was dawn soon, and Claudia opened the window of the room, and after saying good morning to the little bird standing on the branch outside the window, she saw Professor Xie Jiatu reading a book in the yard at this time.
"Father!"
The sound caught the attention of Professor Xie Jiatu, who was reading a book. When he looked up, he saw Claudia jump out of the window sill of the room, and then climbed down along the pipe outside the house.
"My little princess, you were probably a little monkey in your previous life." Professor Xie Jiatu smiled wryly, and walked quickly, afraid that she would suddenly fall, with a nervous expression on his face.
"Father!"
Claudia became playful, and jumped out of the halfway position, and jumped to Professor Xie Jiatu. Although she caught her, but because of the impact, she fell to the ground all at once.
Claudia sat on Professor Xiejiatu's chest and let out a giggle, but the professor closed his eyes at this time, and looked motionless.
Claudia seemed to have noticed something was wrong and shook it quickly, but Professor Xie Jiatu still didn't respond. She became anxious immediately, her nose was sore, and tears fell down.
It wasn't until Professor Xie Jiatu suddenly opened it, picked her up, and turned around a few times, that she laughed through tears.
"Father, have you grown taller again?" Claudia hugged her father's waist, and found that she could only reach her father's waist.
Professor Xie Jiatu couldn't help laughing and said: "My little princess, you are only 11 years old, do you still want to be taller than me?"
"Am I only 11?" Claudia looked up suspiciously, and saw the Christmas tree in front of the house. She remembered this Christmas tree because it was brought back by her father and planted in the yard when she was 11 years old.
She was indeed 11 years old this year.
"Father, I had a dream yesterday." Claudia tilted her little head, especially cute, "I dreamed that I grew up and became fourteen years old!"
Professor Xie Jiatu seemed to be interested, squatted down, and gently wiped the grass clippings on Claudia's body with his hands, carefully tidying up from arms to legs, "Fourteen-year-old Claudia? What were you doing when you were four years old?"
"I learned Taekwondo early!" Claudia said with a grin, "I'm amazing! I can protect myself and won't be bullied!"
Professor Xie Jiatu held her hands, kissed her and said, "Little princess, no one will bully you now, because I will protect you."
She listened happily, then leaned down and kissed the professor on the forehead, like she really was a princess and father, a knight.
"I want to be with my dad forever!"
…
She was younger that year, at the age when she liked to lie beside her father and listen to stories.
Claudia lay on the soft carpet, not far from the stove emitting light and heat.
Professor Xiejiatu's magnetic voice is slowly sounding. He is telling his daughter stories about the Greek gods. He has told his daughter several times this night, but she still doesn't seem to have heard enough, even when it's time to sleep. , still very tenaciously against the Sandman.
"...Later, after Oedipus killed the king with his own hands, the position of the king was temporarily taken over by the king's younger brother. Soon after, a monster appeared in the kingdom, and no one could solve it..."
"Oedipus saw the notice and stepped forward to solve the monster's problem. According to the notice, Oedipus became the new king and took the former king's queen as his wife."
This story seems to be coming to an end here, seeing Professor Xiejiatu open the book on his lap into a new night, Claudia suddenly asked curiously: "Father, isn't the Queen the mother of Oedipus? How could he marry his mother?"
Professor Xie Jiatu smiled and looked at this small figure... At this time, Claudia, who was lying on the ground, raised her legs and kicked lightly in the air, obviously still quite energetic.
Xiejia Tujia retracted his gaze, thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the curse of Pelops before? Everything Oedipus did was to fulfill this curse. This is a kind of fate, Claudia. "
She couldn't understand these ages at all, and didn't know what fate is, so she shook her head directly, "I don't like to hear this story, it's too tragic! I want to hear something else!"
Professor Xie Jiatu laughed, picked up Claudia who was on the ground, put her on his lap, and hugged her lightly, "What story do you want to hear?"
After thinking for a while, little Claudia raised her head and said, "I want to hear the story of Valentine's Day!"
Professor Xie Jiatu blinked and said softly: "But the story of Valentine's Day is also a tragic story, and haven't you heard it before?"
"I don't care, I want to hear this." Claudia said innocently: "I want to hear the story of Valentine's Day with a good ending!"
Professor Xie Jiatu smiled, nodded, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Okay then, let's tell the story of Valentine's Day..."
Under the reflection of the fire, the story started a new one... It was still the magnetic voice of Professor Xie Jiatu, telling the story about Valentine's Day.
"...Finally, the day before the execution, the blind girl's eyes were healed. She rushed to the execution ground, and finally saw Valentine's appearance. Later, the king... Claudia?"
She had already fallen asleep, lying on Professor Xie Jiatu's body.
So he stopped the story, gently picked her up, and sent her into the room.
At this time, she was really at an age where she could fall asleep listening to stories...
