Chapter 1,043 About Father’s Occupation…
Ahem, Uncle Greo, there are some things I forgot to tell you. "
Just a few steps out of the door, I suddenly remembered that there was something I had forgotten to discuss with Grio, so I made a quick response to see if I could catch this guy muttering any secrets.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
After entering the door, he found Greo sitting upright, looking like he had just hidden something and turned his head.
"Ahem...it's nothing. Does Elder Fan have anything else to do?" Greo said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and forcing a smile.
"Did I hear it wrong just now? It seemed like I was called [Ma Daou] or something like that?"
"No, you definitely heard wrong, Uncle Glio." This time it was my turn to wipe away the cold sweat.
Pay special attention, there seems to be nothing suspicious, except that a jar of wine on the table is missing. Could it be that the suspicious appearance just now was just to hide the wine jar and mistook my return shot as a visit from the old drunkard and the plague god? Thinking about it this way, I seemed to connect the events before and after, and a bright light flashed intelligently in the corner of my eyes, showing a look of surprise.
Although he didn't know what happened, it seemed that he had concealed it. Greo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and the two of them smiled thoughtfully.
"By the way, I almost forgot the purpose of coming back. Uncle Greo, it's like this. I think if you want to cooperate, you have to move to another place. It's okay for you, you can use illusion to transform into other forms, but you Who doesn’t know that this blacksmith’s shop and the entire Demon Fortress is the place where you, Uncle Glio, the leader of the alliance, bring Xiao Heitan here, your secret will be revealed immediately.”
"This makes sense..."
"Yeah, it makes sense, so, could you please Uncle Glio, let go and find another blacksmith shop?"
In fact, before I finished what I said just now, Greo had already hugged his beloved forging furnace. He said something reasonable, but his behavior was clearly like "I won't leave here even if you kill me." Firm meaning.
"Um... we don't have to discuss it? It doesn't really matter even here, right? You can still proudly show off to Xiao Heitan: Look, I found a job in the blacksmith shop of Lord Glio, the leader of the alliance. Dad must be great, and so on."
"That's what I said, but the problem is that when I discussed it with Xiao Heitan, the setting was [only mastered a few skills and could barely do odd jobs in the blacksmith shop]. With such ability, when it comes to a super-class person like you, Uncle Greo, Isn’t it too fake to work for a blacksmith?”
"That's right."
Probably because he was a little carried away by the [super-class blacksmith], Greo, who originally looked like he wouldn't kill me, looked embarrassed.
"So, with a setting like this, you can only find a handyman job with a sloppy salary in the simple blacksmith's shop of a third-rate blacksmith that is rarely visited by people. This is the most suitable one. Then you will have to trouble Gree. Uncle Ou, you act like a third-rate blacksmith."
“If I don’t go, I won’t go.”
Hearing what I said, Greo's troubled expression disappeared. He shook his head desperately and held his hand tighter on the forging furnace. What kind of joke are you asking a master blacksmith who even dwarf blacksmiths are willing to be inferior to play the role of a third-rate blacksmith?
"Don't be so shy. You can do it. How can a person who can't even be a third-rate blacksmith be called a master blacksmith? You think so, Uncle Greo."
I squinted my eyes, patted Greo's strong shoulder vigorously and smiled.
Greo: "..."
Now he finally understood the meaning of Kasha's words just now. The guy in front of him was not just soft and hard, he was simply a smiling gangster. He could laugh and make you submit with seemingly flattering words. He was worthy of being able to communicate with Kasha. Xia and Farah, these old and cunning guys got along well together and even managed to get along well, but as expected, none of them were simple things.
"Okay... well, at least let me clean up first."
The honest man, Leo, wrinkled his dry face and nodded with a bitter melon expression that was about to make him cry.
"Isn't it a big deal with the blacksmith shop?"
"Leave that to me. How many blacksmith shops are there in the Demon Fortress, where they are, and which one can be used? No one knows better than me. It just so happens that there is a [third-rate blacksmith shop] vacant."
Uncle Greo said this, his head was filled with blue veins.
Oh, you are indeed a senior blacksmith. It would be great if you can use this enthusiasm for alliance management.
Just like that, I left the blacksmith shop again with peace of mind, and then...
With a "pop" sound, he bumped into something at the corner and fell to the ground.
I catch
Just as he was about to run away from Jeluka, he grabbed her cloak and lifted it back.
"Let me tell you, Ms. Jeluka, you seem to be very busy picking wild vegetables."
"No...that's not the case. I'm picking wild vegetables nearby."
Lifted up in the air, Jeluka was struggling with her hands and feet like a panicked little animal, still making excuses.
"I really can't see any wild vegetables that can be picked nearby. You can't even find moss, you bastard."
"I'm looking for the wild vegetable called life." Jeluka said solemnly.
With a "pop" sound, I will plant cabbage on your head first.
"Say, what are you doing here?"
I couldn't help but become suspicious when I saw Jeluka acting suspiciously, as if she just wandered here to play and was caught by me.
"No...nothing, I'm just studying the connection between birth control pills and cucumbers." Jeluka replied with evasive eyes.
I really have nothing to say about such a pornographic maid.
"Don't lie, tell me, are you following me?" I imitated the torture method used to extract confessions from the little ghost, and I rubbed her face vigorously.
"Wuwu~~Leilou is similar... (there is no such thing)"
After finally getting rid of my torture, he fell to the ground with a hey. This guy crossed his waist in an arrogant manner, raised his chin, and looked at me with a look as if he was condescending.
"As His Highness the Prince said, I am just selling my integrity around here. It was just a coincidence, a coincidence."
It's suspicious. There's a suspicious atmosphere everywhere. This idiot maid clearly wants to change the subject, arouse my instinct to complain and confuse her.
"How are you doing? Did you do well just now?" I asked suddenly.
"Huh...huh, does His Highness the Prince want me to clap my hands and praise him for being handsome and manly? Of course, if he orders me to do this as a prince, there is nothing he can do. He can only do it reluctantly. It’s unintentional to say that, but to be honest, imitating Her Majesty the Queen is really boring, and I don’t find it fascinating at all.”
I:"……"
Jeluka: "..."
This guy was really good at concealing himself. He couldn't tell at all just now that he was actually so panicked inside. With just a little provocation, she easily revealed his thoughts.
"Oh, so that's it. I thought my behavior just now was a bit handsome, and I was fascinated by it, so I didn't even react when I came out, so I bumped into him, right?"
I nodded and translated Jeluka's words. My cheeks felt a little hot. I was really embarrassed when she said that. I said and did it without thinking at all. Too handsome or not.
"That's... no, what is your highness proud of? Really, he might as well be kicked to death by a hundred horses. The beastly prince who peeks into a girl's mind might as well be kicked to death by a hundred thousand horses."
With her face flushed and her head lowered, Jeluka simply turned her back angrily and started yelling in a self-defeating manner.
"Okay, okay, let's stop this topic for now. I have good news...ah, forget it, you heard it just now anyway."
Everyone became shy, so there was no point in engaging in a lose-lose battle. I decisively changed the topic and said happily.
"that……"
Jeluka's stammering voice sounded as thin as a mosquito's groan.
"what happened again?"
"In the second half...I didn't hear anything at all...Glio...whether he promised anything in the end...I didn't pay attention at all..."
Even with her back turned to herself, she could see that there seemed to be thick smoke coming from her head. She lowered her head completely. If there was a hole in the ground, she would probably dive into it.
"Is...is that so? There's no way, then I'll say it again."
What...what's going on? Why are you embarrassed even yourself? It's all the fault of this dirty maid. Why do she do these things and say these embarrassing things when she has nothing to do.
After Jiang finished explaining the results of his discussion with Glio to Jeluka, the two of them almost regained their composure.
"In general, we don't have any big resistance now." Jeluka breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, the Mage Guild has agreed to help us, and now the leader of the alliance, Glio, will also provide full assistance. Next, it will be up to the two of us."
"As long as His Highness the Prince doesn't act like a fool and hinder us."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot maid? I came up with the solution." I naturally wanted to refute Jeluka's malicious slander.
"Idiots sometimes have a flash of inspiration."
"Humph, I'm not bragging, I often have flashes of inspiration." I puffed up my chest proudly.
"Ah, I don't refute this point, idiot." Jeluka's eyes turned pitiful.
"So you should quickly integrate into my and Xiao Heitan's idiot family."
I opened my arms and proudly announced, "Idiot?" Huh, do you still need to mention this old-fashioned pinching him now? I have long been immune to this word. Even if I have to shout three times on the street, Long Live Idiot, it won’t be a problem.
Sorry, I lied, it's still very problematic.
"Don't try to drag me into the water, and don't classify Xiao Heitan without authorization. You are the only fool in this family." Jeluka's complaints were still merciless.
"Eh heh - what did you say? You guys are so proud. I have found a job now, but I have changed from an incompetent father to a capable father. What about you? You can't even find wild vegetables. Mother dares to be arrogant in front of me."
"It's easy to find wild vegetables and such."
"Even so, your future is over. From now on, you will be nothing more than a mother who can pick wild vegetables, and I..." Pointed to myself proudly.
"A father who can continue to change jobs. Practice makes perfect. A father who is a blacksmith apprentice. A father whose salary has increased. A father who is a third-rate blacksmith who can start his own business. A father who owns his own blacksmith shop after taking out a loan. A father who works hard to support the family and repay debts. Because of loan sharking, The father who was unable to repay and was hunted down by evil organizations had to flee and was afraid to go home for three years..."
"It seems that we have entered some strange route..." Jeluka muttered quietly from the side.
"And the ultimate goal is"
Ignoring Jeluka's complaints, I pointed my arm straight at the top of the tower of the church temple, the tallest building in the Demon Fortress, and I declared loudly with bright eyes.
"I changed jobs and became [a father who can just go to hell with his boyfriend, fiancé and husband, I just want to be with my father] ah ah ah"
As I said this, I burst into tears, thinking that one day my precious daughter would fly away and fall into the arms of another man. These tears of hatred would not drain away even if the water level of the Twin Seas rose by one foot. I told you to take away my daughter, I won’t, damn it~~
"A bereaved dog who already knew that he was going to lose before the war even started is probably the most suitable person for His Highness the Prince's current appearance." The cold-blooded maid, without a trace of sympathy, showed off her poisonous tongue without hesitation.
"The speech just now is very dangerous. It is better to arrest His Royal Highness first."
"Why? What's wrong? What did I do wrong? Is my daughter guilty of accusing you of a bastard?"
Well, I also know how I look now, which is probably no different from being forcibly dragged towards a police car by the police while shouting to the reporters around me that I am an innocent person.
Forget it, a fool like Jeluka won’t understand my mood at the moment. Let’s have a drink with Carlos and exchange experiences some other time...
"Xiao Heitan, we are back."
When we returned home and noticed the smell of the little black charcoal inside, Jeluka and I both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing our voices, Xiao Heitan ran out in a panic, as if something terrible had happened.
"Dad...Mom...is not good."
With a cry in his voice, Xiao Heitan hugged my thigh tightly, raised his head, and a hint of emotional wavering could be seen in his squinted eyes.
"What's wrong? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
We comforted Little Heitan. No matter what, as long as Little Heitan standing in front of us was fine, other things were not important to us.
"Those iron thorn flowers... withered... withered."
So, the seeds of tragedy that were brewed last night sprouted. When we hurriedly dug out the iron thorn flower, it was completely hopeless, and the stem was completely corroded by the soil...
Ha, I feel like my usual schedule has been completely disrupted. I hope I can adjust it again after work tomorrow. Also, someone finally mentioned the slow progress issue. Well, someone finally mentioned this issue [again], but there’s nothing I can do about it. , this is already Xiaoqi’s style and cannot be changed, because he knows that he has shortcomings of one kind or another, so Xiaoqi also has self-awareness. After a month, he only asks for monthly votes and recommendations only two or three times, sometimes only once, but these five For six days, the average is less than two monthly passes a day. When encountering this situation, I think I can still complain to everyone a little. Anyone who is familiar with Xiaoqi knows how tiring it is to work during the day and code at night. If you feel that Xiaoqi is like this If the requirements are too high, then there is nothing we can do about it, Xiao Qi faces the wall, woo woo~~A
