Following in the footsteps of the little fox, after many teleportations, our group finally arrived at the long-awaited town of Lalula.
"It's finally here." I was dejected, shrugging my shoulders like a defeated rooster.
"Dad, dad, let's go to the Sky Tribe." Xilusi and Aikelu, who had the opposite interest to me, were already urging us as they walked out of the teleportation array.
Why do they want to go to the Sky Tribe? It’s not just to see the statue of the Hanged Man. If it were someone else’s statue, I might have gone with them to watch it with great interest, but it was my own statue.
Xilusi Aikelu, how about we discuss it? We will leave immediately. When we return to the camp, dad will take you to see the statue in front of the paper mill.
I looked at my daughters with tears in my eyes. Compared with the two statues, I would rather choose the paper mill statue that was repeatedly misunderstood by the Red and White Princess as "stealing paper and wiping one's buttocks and being caught and receiving such a terrible punishment."
It's a pity that the two princesses have very clear goals. They want to take a look at their father's [great] figure. Seeing that I can't stop them, I have no choice but to look at the little fox.
"Little fox, why don't you take Xilusi and Aikolu with you? I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do." As he said this, he looked pitifully at her pleadingly.
"That's fine, but you can't run around. If you get lost, let us find it easily." Probably because of my current misery, the little fox was also frightened. She was happy to tease me and did not put forward any other additional conditions at this time. He readily agreed to my request.
"Lost? Humph, are you looking down on me, who is known as the Maze Killer?" My face darkened, and then my tiger body shook, exuding the powerful courage of the Maze Killer. I asked in a hoarse voice, word by word, powerfully. road.
"Xilusi, Aikelu, Lilith, if you see this guy in this state in the future, please don't approach him casually. The aura of an idiot with a sense of direction will be infected." The little fox held the daughters and pulled them Step aside, away from me.
Bastard, since you underestimated me again and again!
"Xi Lusi, Aiko Lu, little Hei Tan, don't believe that little fox. Do you think dad is the kind of person who gets lost casually?" I smiled kindly at my daughters, and the halo of father's love suddenly became stronger. Full on, come on, come into my arms, my baby girl, that little fox is the bad guy.
"Of course not. Dad is not someone who gets lost casually." As expected, Xilusi and Aikelu agreed with smiles and stood on my side.
You see, little fox, you have already lost. I looked at the little fox triumphantly and wished I could laugh three times in the sky.
But... I always feel like something is wrong. Forget it, don’t worry about the details.
"Lilith, aren't you going with us?" The little fox took Xilusi and Aikelu to go to the Sky Tribe, but found that Xiao Heitan's footsteps were not moving at all. When they turned around, they looked at Xiao Heitan and waved. beckoned.
"I'll take you to see dad's statue." The two sisters said to Xiao Heitan in a seductive tone.
"No... I'm not going, I... I'm with daddy." Xiao Heitan took a step back and hid behind me, holding my cuffs tightly with his little hands.
Although the statue was good, she had heard about her father's heroic deeds from her sisters. She actually wanted to see the great figure of her father preserved in the statue, but no matter how good the statue was, how could it be as good as following the statue? Real daddy's side? This is the simple thought in Xiao Heitan's heart.
"Is this so? What a pity." Xi Lusi and Aike Lu sighed, suddenly envious of Xiao Hei Tan. Even they couldn't match Xiao Hei Tan's dependence on his father.
"I will take care of Little Heitan. You go and come back quickly." Seeing that Little Heitan was willing to stay with me, I was overjoyed. I bent down, hugged her and kissed her hard.
"Okay then, but keep an eye on Lilith, she's been lost." Seeing this, the little fox took a little princess by the hand and turned to leave.
"Let's go too." Watching them disappear, I held Xiao Heitan's hand and said with a smile.
"Want a hug from daddy?"
Xiao Heitan shook his head shyly.
"Really not?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Heitan nodded imperceptibly. Only when everyone was away would she muster up the courage to act coquettishly.
"Little Heitan is also a child who loves to act coquettishly." I laughed, feeling that my father's side was most satisfied. With Little Heitan's shy cooperation, I squatted down and hugged her, holding her in my arms. The petite body hugged her.
"Let's go, Dad will take you for a walk. I'm not bragging. Speaking of the town of Lalula, Dad saw it being rebuilt with his own eyes. He is very familiar with this place. Look, go ahead. One hundred meters away, you can see a flower shop... uh——!!!"
I suddenly felt like I was being choked, pointing forward, my face stiffened.
After turning the corner, there was no flower shop a hundred meters ahead. It was clearly a bustling blacksmith shop.
"Ahem, things are changing so fast here. After all, more and more adventurers are coming in. There weren't that many people before." I coughed awkwardly and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay, let's keep going. When we reach the second intersection ahead, turn right and not far away, you can see a biscuit shop. The baking skills there are the best in the small town of Lalula. I still remember it is a biscuit shop. It's opened by the elf aunt Missisi. When the town of Lalula was rebuilt, she asked her daughter to send me biscuits every now and then. What's it called... Well, you'll know when you go there."
I once again took the title of the town's rebuilder and explained to Xiao Heitan that this time it was absolutely right. I was the one who built half of the stone wall for her biscuit house in Mississippi. The aunt happily said that the biscuit house would be named Prince Biscuit House, which made me regret it for many days.
As a result, after turning the corner, the smile on my face disappeared again. The direction I was pointing with my trembling fingers was a prosperous and lush empty grassland.
"This...this...how could this happen...it's obviously here..." I was stunned for a long time and laughed dryly. Could it be that I came to the wrong place? This is not actually the town of Lalula?
"Dad~~~" At this time, Xiao Heitan's soft little hands gently stroked my face, and then he brought his little face close, gently raised his tender lips, and kissed me affectionately on my stiff cheeks. Chirped.
"It doesn't matter, little Heitan, as long as I can be with my father, I'm already happy. Nothing else matters."
I was stunned, and immediately burst into tears, holding Xiao Heitan tightly.
Sorry, sorry, dad is such an incompetent, useless and road-crazy fool. He originally wanted to take Little Heitan to play around the whole town and make Little Heitan happy. Unexpectedly, he encountered setbacks many times. In turn, Heitan was beaten by him. Comforted.
"Xiao Heitan, I'm sorry, dad is so useless, I can't do anything well." Under Xiao Heitan's comforting touch, I couldn't help but lower my head in shame.
"No, dad is the great hero in Xiao Heitan's mind, the greatest person, and Xiao Heitan's favorite person." Xiao Heitan shook his head and hugged my neck tightly.
"But now this great hero can't even lead the way." Although Xiao Heitan's comfort made me feel warm in my heart, I still couldn't be happy. What on earth is going on? Am I really Are you already this crazy? Can’t you even recognize the place where you personally supervised the reconstruction?
"Excuse me, what are you two doing here?" Suddenly, a strange voice came from behind. When I looked back, I saw a group of elf soldiers passing by on patrol, looking at us with strange eyes.
A pair that looks like a father and daughter, all covered in cloaks, are facing an empty space, seeming to be sighing (?), which looks a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"Are you two residents of Lalula Town?" Then, the elf soldier showed his occupational disease and began to ask in an interrogative tone.
"no……"
"You two are not elves, right?"
"Um……"
"What are you doing in Lalula Town?"
"Come and experience..."
"So it's an adventurer, a human, or another race?"
"Humanity……"
"The alliance's training area should be more complete. Why do you want to come to Lalula Town to train?"
Between the questions and answers, the suspicion in the elf soldiers' hearts not only did not subside, but became even stronger.
"I find it interesting." I was about to cry. How could this happen to me?
"Can you please take off your cloaks and hats?" The elf soldier smiled kindly, but held the spear in his hand tightly.
"This..." I froze.
Do you want to reveal your identity? Speaking of which, it is still a question whether these elf soldiers recognize me.
The moment I hesitated, the elf soldiers on the opposite side suddenly started shouting.
"It's really you!"
As he said this, more than a dozen spears were pointed at us.
What...what happened? I looked confused. Could it be that I was considered a wanted criminal?
"Stop hiding it. You are the abominable treasure thieves who recently came to our elven border to look for relics and caused us a lot of trouble. That's right." Seeing that the other party was still trying to act stupid, the elven soldier immediately shouted.
Human treasure thieves are indeed cunning. They even disguised themselves as a father and daughter in an attempt to confuse their eyes. Ordinary people would never imagine that such a seemingly intimate and warm father and daughter would actually be greedy for money and do whatever it takes to get the treasure. Despicable treasure thief.
The more the elf soldier thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. He held the spear tighter with one hand and put the other hand into the pocket on his waist. As soon as the other party made any change, he would immediately send out a signal, making it impossible for these two guys to escape the dragnet.
Ha ha?
I was completely stunned, treasure thief? Have I been misunderstood as a treasure thief? According to the elf soldiers, the magical ruins on their border seem to have been visited frequently recently. What does this kind of thing have to do with me? It is most correct to go to the Green Forest Bar immediately to arrest and torture the tomb robber. Choose.
"Dad...what should I do?" Xiao Heitan had never encountered such a situation before and was a little panicked.
"It's okay, Xiao Heitan, daddy is here."
"Humph, are you still pretending? It's useless. I have already seen through your identity." Seeing this pair of hateful treasure thieves trying to pretend to be father and daughter and deceiving their own sympathy, the elf soldiers couldn't help but Even more angry.
What a bad luck, I met a stupid guy.
I made a secret noise and wanted to take off my cloak and hat to reveal my identity, but I saw that there were already many people around me watching.
No, if you reveal your identity at this time, you will lose a lot of face. The Elf Prince will be rounded up as a treasure thief, which will have a huge impact on the reputation of the Alliance and the Elf.
Of course, it doesn't mean that I can't get out of the way immediately. These soldiers can't stop me at all, but this will make the elf soldiers in Lalula Town lose their prestige and let the treasure thief escape in front of everyone. Is it because the enemy is too strong or is it? Are the guards too incompetent? To be fair, what these elf soldiers in front of me did was not wrong. It was me who was acting suspiciously, and happened to encounter the treasure thief incident, and happened to be caught by them. It can only be said that the aura of the quasi-tragedy emperor is shining brightly.
"Don't worry, just follow us." At this time, the elf soldier spoke again, and I heard a hint of a turning point.
"I'll just go with you." I thought that I would reveal my identity to these soldiers once I got out of the crowd. I nodded and replied calmly.
"You know what's going on." The other party looked at me suspiciously, as if he didn't expect that the cunning [Treasure Thief] would be captured so easily.
Surrounded by more than a dozen spears, I held the little black carbon and moved slowly like a prisoner. After a while, dozens of elven soldiers joined the escort team. Obviously, the town of Lalula was very concerned about what they said. Treasure thieves have been carefully guarded and deeply abhorred.
It was almost time. Seeing that I was far away from the crowd, I was about to take off my cloak. At this moment, a familiar-looking figure walked up not far away.
I was slightly stunned and stopped.
That person is... isn't that Elder Somako?
That's right, it's the Madeya settlement, now renamed Somako, the great elder of the Sky Tribe.
"What happened?" Seeing a large group of soldiers coming from the front, Somak naturally asked curiously.
"Elder Somako, we have arrested a treasure thief." The soldier stood at attention and saluted, reporting truthfully.
"Oh, treasure thief?" Somako turned his head, his eyes passed through the soldiers, and fell on the [prisoner] who was tightly surrounded in the center and pointed at by more than a dozen spears.
"Huh?" He suddenly lowered his head and wiped his eyes, raised his head, took a quick look, and then rubbed his eyes desperately.
I must be out of sight, this familiar figure, the familiar cloak style...
No matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, the feeling of familiarity still did not fade at all, but became stronger and stronger. Finally, Somak confirmed the fact, and the crutch in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his legs went soft and fell to the ground.
"Elder Somako." The soldier was shocked and angry, thinking that the elder had fallen into the opponent's terrible tricks.
Unexpectedly, something happened that shocked them even more. Somako, who had fallen down, stood up with a speed that even put them to shame. His white beard was trembling, he pushed aside the soldiers in front and rushed inside. .
A tearful "Your Highness" made all the soldiers stunned.
Dear...His Royal Highness?
Elder Somako must have been cursed by the other party and gone crazy. This is a treasure thief. How could he be His Highness the Prince? Even if someone like His Highness has a great connection with this place, it is impossible. He appeared here casually, dressed in such a suspicious manner, and he happened to be caught by himself and others.
However, it is said that His Highness the Prince is indeed a lover of (outdated) cloaks...
Thinking of this, the soldiers turned their heads one after another, and dozens of pairs of surprised and disbelieving eyes fell on the central figure.
"Grandpa Somako, I'm causing trouble for you." Seeing that things had developed to this point, I couldn't laugh or cry anymore, so I couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so I took off my cloak and hat and said.
"Really... really His Highness the Prince..." Seeing the true face of the [Treasure Thief], several of the soldiers murmured. The spears in their hands fell down, their legs went weak, and they sat down. He fell to the ground, dumbfounded.
He took a step forward and was about to support Grandpa Somako who was rushing up. Unexpectedly, when he was a step away, he suddenly knelt down and banged his head.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, for allowing His Highness the Prince to be humiliated like this, for actually sending our benefactor...the benefactor who saved our Sky Tribe, the town of Lalula, and the entire border, I..." As he spoke, Soma Ke fell to the ground and burst into tears.
"Grandpa Somak, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly." I never expected that his reaction would be so violent. I quickly put down the little black carbon, and then stepped forward to help Somak up. How could I have known that he would react so violently? But he stubbornly refused to move and said nothing.
"Grandpa Somako, I'm going to kneel down if you do this." I sighed and tried to kneel down, but Somako jumped up and stopped me quickly.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Just let me lie down. I am too embarrassed to see you." Somako burst into tears and shook his head in a daze.
"Elder Somako, it's not your fault. It's because we were blind and mistook His Highness for the treasure thief." The dozen or so elf soldiers at the beginning couldn't help but be filled with satisfaction when they saw Somako blaming himself so much. He stood up with a face of shame.
But...why didn't His Highness reveal his identity at the beginning? If he had revealed it in the first place...
These elf soldiers were thinking secretly and were suddenly startled.
There were so many onlookers nearby at that time. If His Highness the Prince revealed his identity, then he, his party, and even the entire Elf clan, who regarded His Highness as a treasure thief, would become the laughing stock. His Highness the Prince did not reveal his identity rashly for the sake of himself and others. .
His Highness was so careful, thinking about himself and his family's face, but he and others regarded him as a treasure thief and kept questioning him. Recalling the scene just now, these elf soldiers blushed and bled, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to kill themselves immediately.
"What a big deal, can you all just listen to what I have to say?" Seeing one of these people on the left lost his mind and the one on the right dying of shame, I immediately got a big headache.
"Originally, I came here to bring my daughter to practice. I didn't want to disturb everyone, so I didn't notify Mayor Lamanya and Grandpa Somako." After a pause, I glanced at everyone and continued.
"Then, because of something, she showed a little suspicious behavior and was suspected by the soldiers. She did nothing wrong and was just fulfilling her duties."
"Then." My eyes fell on Somako: "Grandpa Somako, you don't know about this at all, and you didn't do anything wrong. Why do you have to apologize? So, after all, it's me. Thoughtless."
"Your Highness is kind-hearted, and Somako is grateful. But this time...this time I really don't have the face to see you, and I don't have the face to face the entire Sky Tribe again. I...I..."
I have already said this, but Somak still can't untie his knot, and is still mumbling to himself unhappily.
The benefactor and hero who saved everyone and gave the Sky Tribe great glory, no matter how much he repays, can never repay this kindness. Today, his statue still stands high in the central square of the Sky Tribe, respected and worshiped by everyone. Now, he finally came back, but was arrested as a treasure thief. This ridiculous and sad thing actually happened. Not only himself, but the entire Sky Tribe will be embarrassed to face it from now on. others.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate Somako felt. He felt that he was the sinner who had plunged the entire tribe into the abyss, and that death would not be a pity.
It's over. It seems that a few words can't cheer up Grandpa Somak. Seeing Somak's expression, I secretly thought bad.
At this time, I can only resort to my own trick - change the subject.
"By the way, I'm curious as to why everyone is so wary of treasure thieves. Can you tell me what has happened recently? Grandpa Somako."
"I...I..." Somako was still in a daze.
"It's inconvenient to say it here. Guys over there, could you please show me the way and find a place to sit down?" I casually greeted the few elf soldiers in front of me.
"Of course... please come this way, Your Highness." The elf soldiers were stunned and quickly saluted.
"Sorry, everyone, please continue to return to your posts. The order of Lalula Town depends on you." I comforted the other elf soldiers. I held Little Heitan with one hand and supported him with the other. Somako, led by the elven soldiers, left.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared for a long time that the dozens of elf soldiers who stayed on the spot picked up the spears on the ground in despair. Their eyes were blank. Everything that just happened was like a dream to them. In a nightmare, he actually pointed a gun at His Highness the Prince and escorted him as a treasure thief.
Suddenly, bursts of choked sobs came from around me. It turned out to be the dozen elf soldiers who first discovered His Highness the Prince and mistook him for a treasure thief. Seven or eight of them, women, were on the verge of collapse and couldn't help but burst out loud. When they began to cry, several male soldiers also had gloomy faces. They were all residents of the border town. They had received life-saving grace from His Highness the Prince. From time to time, they would go to the Sky Tribe to pay homage to the statue and bless and thank their benefactor. Unexpectedly, Now, he personally treated the owner of that statue as a treasure thief.
When the other elven soldiers saw this scene, they all shook their heads, picked up their spears, and left without saying a word, leaving these dozen or so elven soldiers as if they were isolated.
Although they did nothing wrong, how many people can truly uphold justice? To a greater or lesser extent, other elven soldiers will hold grudges against these dozen culprits...
