At dinner this day, there were a lot of people missing from the table. In addition to Ezio missing, the two girls also failed to go home for dinner in order to find the fat boy who had run away from home.
The drizzle outside has been falling all day long. It did not bring any coolness to this summer night, but instead made it much hotter. Maybe it was because of the atmosphere at the dinner table. After all, the majority of people were worried about the little fat man.
It wasn't until after dinner, when everyone was taking a break to eat, that the girls came back in embarrassment.
Although in the application of magic, there is magic for avoiding rain. The power energy currently stored by the two girls is enough to cast this magic throughout the process to avoid getting wet. However, the mud and water splashed on the ground, and the children had to walk through the streets according to their size, so it was inevitable that some places would be stained that could not be taken care of. In addition, after searching for a long time, the fatigue is even more difficult for others to understand.
In the small reception room, the old black dragon, who rarely appeared, was staring at a certain magician with a calm expression. Behind the old black dragon, there was another fat boy, Vana's son, Kish. At this time, he looked like he was about to cry, so he just opened his mouth and begged for mercy from his reckless companion of the same age.
As soon as the two girls came back, they showed their teacher angrily. For these bad things, someone always turns a blind eye. Lin's Qi-nurturing skills have reached a level of insensitivity, comparable to that of a vegetative state.
It's a pity that someone can endure it, but how can a person who puts on a face tolerate it? Halumi was the first to say: "Teacher, we have been searching all day, but we can't find Ezio. What if he is hungry and cold outside?"
"That kid is so fat that he won't die from starvation for two days. Besides, he has so much fat. It's summer right now. A little rain is just a way to cool down. How can he get cold?" someone said ruthlessly.
Halumi asked: "Are you really not worried at all?"
The teacher looked at his apprentice helplessly and asked, "What are you worried about? Is he going to harm others?"
The blonde girl was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said again: "He is just a child. How can he live alone outside!"
"Speaking of which, you just don't believe how resilient a child is." Someone criticized disdainfully.
I remembered that before I traveled through time, I would always see children left at home by irresponsible parents, starving to death or having other accidents. In fact, it's not that children have no survival instinct at all, they are just restricted by family affection and simply believe that their parents will take care of them, so they dare not do anything that was once forbidden.
This is like the allusion mentioned in Fengshen Romance that when King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Jichang was governing Xiqi, Wu Ji committed a murder, so King Wen painted a plot of land as a prison to atone for his sin. It's not that children don't know how to survive, it's just that they are trapped in many restrictions by their parents.
Don't you see those orphans who have lost their parents? They are growing up barbaric when they are alone. Not to mention what achievements they will have in the future, or how smoothly they will grow up, but nine out of ten will have no problem growing up. The remaining one didn't grow up because he was frail and sickly. Even if his parents took care of him, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Why do some human trafficking groups look for children? Isn't it just because children are highly malleable, easy to deceive and easy to manipulate, that's why children are abducted to do some shady things? Even if it is sold to others, with the child's resilience, he will adapt to the new environment and recognize the new parents in the shortest possible time.
Not to mention that little fat guy's mobility can turn this family upside down. After going outside and letting yourself go, unless you really don't have the foresight to hit the knives of those who are truly strong, what difficulties can you face if you just want to survive? It’s just whether you have let go of your thoughts, just like the transformation of the protagonist in Stephen Chow’s movie Su Qier before and after his downfall.
Of course, under such circumstances, it is definitely unrealistic to expect him to become a good young man when he grows up. Don't be a master of the five poisons, specialize in burning, killing, and looting. If you commit all kinds of crimes, you will laugh.
But before these words could be fully explained to these two girls, they looked at someone with tears in their eyes. Perhaps it was the self-care attitude in his words, so heartless, that made these two magic apprentices who had been following someone since childhood, but they didn't know what resonated with them and made them feel sentimental.
There was no choice, but someone could only say: "And don't forget, as long as Ezio doesn't throw away the ring, it's really not easy for him to get lost."
After the set of rings that could be sensed by the One Ring was completed, a certain fat man who was not yet sensible would put one in his mouth after touching one. After all, the ring was not allowed to escape into a child's belly, but the chosen ring became Ezio's property.
It is also impractical to ask a child to wear a ring. Even the magic ring created by Lin can automatically adjust the size of the ring according to the condition of the wearer's fingers. So the ring became the connecting link between the necklace and the pendant, making it into a necklace for Ezio to hang on.
In order for the fat boy to be willing to wear the necklace, the pendant was actually a small flip-up photo frame, and he told Ezio that he could put the things he valued most, or the photos of the people he valued most.
This fat boy really listened to this statement, and the necklace never left his body. As for what he put in the pendant, even though Ezio kept it secret, everyone knew that it was a broken scale that the old black dragon Augustus naturally shed.
He didn't know who his parents were, so Old Black Dragon was his only relative. Especially after what happened this time, I am afraid that in that little heart, no one except Augustus is trustworthy or reliable.
But the point is, the Ring of All, one of the Nine Rings, is in Ezio's hand. As long as the ring was not thrown into the water by the fat boy, there would be no secret about his whereabouts from anyone.
After understanding this, the two girls burst into laughter. He quickly tidied up and said, "Teacher, why don't you bring Ezio back quickly?"
"Don't worry, let him calm down outside and think about it. Wait a day or two and then look at the situation."
From a selfish point of view, someone wants to be quiet for a few more days. To be honest, if you don't smooth out the edges of that fat boy, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Rather than suffering at the expense of others, it is better to treat your own people badly. So someone rejected his apprenticeship request in person. Just doing this will of course result in the disappointment of the two apprentices. Lin could only say:
"If you are really that worried, I will give you the coordinates of Ezio's location, and you will secretly protect him from behind. But I hope that unless it is a life-and-death crisis, you will not come forward to help. I would like to take a look, How much breakthrough can he make in such a predicament? Otherwise, he will only be a spoiled child for the rest of his life."
As if they gave in to their teacher's words, after receiving Ezio's location signal, the two girls quickly ran out to make sure that the fat boy had not thrown away the necklace with the pendant.
At the same time, Lin looked at the humanized old black dragon and Kish, who was standing next to it with a stubborn expression on his face, and asked, "You two, is this okay?"
After all, Kish is a child and cannot distinguish between good and bad; he can only look helplessly at another old black dragon with extremely rich life experience.
The humanized Augustus relaxed his frown. Maybe someone's proposal does not bring about the most satisfactory result in his heart, but it is not unacceptable. If the child could successfully pass this test, it would surely be more reassuring.
