Chapter 2569 The Restless Old Man
Knowing that the logistics base of the hero team was below, Angel knew that he would definitely meet other people. What Angel didn't expect was that the first person he met was actually the same as Kolo... no, even younger than Kolo.
The little girl was a little girl who was less than knee-high, estimated to be under four years old. Her hair seemed to have never been cut, long and soft, naturally falling on her shoulders, with a emerald skirt, adding a touch of bright color to this somewhat dim passage.
The little girl stopped not far away, her fair face full of doubts. At her age, she already vaguely felt that the appearance of strangers here seemed not to be a good sign.
Angel and others continued to move forward, while the little girl retreated step by step, and finally reached the corner, stretched out her head, and peeked curiously and timidly.
"Such a young child was brought into the ruins. The bottom line of this hero team is not very high." Dox said lightly.
"At least she is in a safe rear area, just like Kolo just now." The speaker was Angel. He was not deliberately arguing, but he had seen too many separations and deaths. Compared with such a sad ending, these children can at least be with their relatives.
Besides, if there were no twists and turns in the story, their parents would not deliberately bring their children to the ruins to make a living.
"Is it really safe?" Dox raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Angel glanced at Dox, and then turned his head silently: "That's perfect. If there is danger, it means that we have found a way to the underground sewer."
"Why are your thoughts so jumpy? I'm just talking. You won't make me..."
Before Dox finished the next sentence, Angel said first: "I'm just following your words, just talking. Who knows if there is any danger in it? After all, there is no prophecy wizard among us."
Dox's words were stuck in his throat. Suddenly, he didn't know what to say. He could only let out a breath of suffocation, and deliberately scared the little girl hiding in the corner with a fierce look.
Dox's eyes were originally full of evil spirits, and even if he pretended to be fierce, it was very effective. Especially for this kind of little girl who was already afraid and ignorant.
There was only a burst of crying, and the little girl ran deeper into the depths with a baby voice calling "bad guy".
Angel glanced at Dox: "Boring."
Dox grinned, showing his big white teeth, and said nonchalantly: "She dared to come to the ruins at such a young age, so she still needs to see the dangers of the world."
Dox's words and the behavior of bullying the little baby made even his good friend Wai unable to bear it. He stared at him with disgust and silently moved away from him a few meters.
Although Wai couldn't speak, his behavior showed everything: I am not familiar with this scum who bullied children.
Dox still didn't care. He didn't really bully her, so what's the big deal about scaring her.
When Dox thought about this, he soon realized what the "big deal" was.
A group of about ten adults came aggressively from a distance, most of them were women, and they also had various "weapons" in their hands, not the kind of long spears and rapiers that were opened and closed, but some weapons such as kitchen knives, long-handled spoons, and rolling pins.
Judging from this posture, it was estimated that this was the retribution for Dox bullying the little baby.
When Angel was thinking about this, as expected, he heard the woman on the opposite side loudly questioning: "Are you the ones who bullied little Shirley?"
"No, Aunt Mary, you should ask who they are!"
"I don't care who they are, if they bully little Shirley, they will have to eat a spoonful of my spoon." Yes, the fat aunt holding a long-handled spoon as a weapon was this Aunt Mary.
"All back off, what are you chattering about, I'll ask." At this time, a hunchbacked old man smoking a pipe came from behind the crowd and looked at Angel and others.
The old man looked thin and hunchbacked, but his cloudy eyes were very sharp.
When the others were angry and wanted to attack Angel and others, the old man had already found some strange things.
For example, there seemed to be an extra hand on the shoulder of a red-haired man on the other side?
Also, a guy in a black robe was holding a stone slab with both hands. There seemed to be a nose on it, and from the movement of the nose wings, it seemed like a living thing.
Apart from these two people, the other two people also had their own extraordinary features, which immediately reminded him of a type of people.
Wizards.
In the outside world, the existence of wizards is a hidden legend, but for people like them who make a living in dangerous ruins, they know that wizards really exist.
When the old man was young, he saw a female wizard riding a broom and flying in the air.
Fortunately, the female wizard seemed to be in a hurry and didn't care about them below, otherwise, it is estimated that a group of them would have died at that time.
After all, wizards have killed people here and even blackmailed, which has happened before.
Facing other adventure groups, they could fight to the death, but facing this kind of extraordinary life, even if they put all their lives into it, it would not be enough for someone else's little finger.
The old man didn't know whether the person on the other side was an extraordinary person, but it was always right to hold good intentions.
"What are you doing so aggressively? Put away those pots and pans, don't you be embarrassed?" The old man turned around and scolded everyone, then his expression changed and he looked at Angel and the others with a smile: "Sorry, let me You guys are seeing a joke. That’s it. We heard from little Shirley that when guests come, we come out to see what’s going on.”
Regarding the old man changing the word "bad guy" in Little Xueli's mouth to "guest", everyone behind him showed obvious incomprehension and disbelief. But this old man seems to have great authority in the hero team. Even if he says this, no one dares to object.
"We don't even know who we are, so we just say we are guests. You, the little old man, are quite interesting." Doakes's tone of voice was not polite at all. After all, Doakes must be older than the old man opposite. If you love the young, you can barely do it, but respecting the elderly? impossible.
"I don't know where your distinguished guests are from?" The old man was not angry and asked in a friendly manner.
Doakes still wanted to speak, but Angel pulled him back, stepped forward directly, and said to the old man: "Answer me a question first, can you be the speaker here?"
The old man did not hesitate and nodded: "My name is endless. I have forgotten my real name. Everyone calls me old man endless. I founded the hero team more than 40 years ago, but I am old now, and the adventure group has been handed over to young people. One generation, just handle some chores at the back.”
Old Man Fuxiu, the former captain and founder of the Hero Team.
After Angel confirmed that this person could be the speaker, he raised his right hand without hesitation, and a green light came out from his fingertips and penetrated into the old man's eyebrows.
The old man immediately froze on the spot.
After a few seconds, he slowly came back to his senses. At this time, there seemed to be some more information in his mind. After reading it carefully, Old Man Fuxiu roughly understood the intention of Angel and others.
In fact, the general direction is the same as the hero team's goal, which is to explore the ruins, but they plan to start exploring from the hero team's rear base camp, this underground building.
If this request were made directly, even the old man would probably think it was an insult. After all, this is their logistics headquarters, a confidential place where food, water and rest are all located here.
If a visitor wants to explore this place, it is like a stranger suddenly breaking into your home and telling you: I want to search all the rooms in your house.
Saying this will definitely cause outrage.
But Angel's move made Old Man Fuxiu and everyone behind him afraid to act rashly.
Everyone could clearly see the green light emanating from the fingertips. They were not inexperienced people, so they guessed with a quick thought that Angel was probably the legendary wizard.
This made everyone's expressions look a little frightened. If the opponent was just a member of the ordinary adventure group, they would not be afraid due to the friendly relationship that the hero team has maintained for many years. But facing the extraordinary, let alone these old, weak, women and children, even heroes With all the main members of the team here, it’s probably a feast.
"Dear Sir, I already know your purpose of coming. I wonder if you can allow me to discuss it with the others first." The old man said with a bow.
Angel: "If you still have to wait for all the members of the hero team to come back before discussing it, we can't wait that long."
Old Man Buxiu: "No, I'll just talk to them. They are all family members of the hero team members, and they can represent the opinions of others."
The old man Buxiu pointed at the person behind him and said.
If you just talk to the group of people behind you, it doesn't take much effort, and Angel doesn't mind spending a little more time on it.
After all, underground buildings are also other people's "homes". Even if it is temporary, you should talk to the owner first.
Of course, if the master is not there, Angel can go straight in without any burden.
When the old man returned to the crowd behind him and began to discuss with others, Doakes came close to Angel and whispered: "They all used illusions anyway, you might as well cast an illusion on them to make them ignore us. It would be nice if it existed.”
Angel: "The method you mentioned is fine, but if I really do it, I always feel like someone will do something weird."
"What's the meaning?"
Angel: "For example, peeking at others taking a shower, or bullying children."
Doakes was stunned for a moment and showed an angry look: "I would never do such a childish thing!"
Angel glanced at him doubtfully: "Did I say it was you? Don't take it personally. By the way, is it childish or not to scare children?"
Doakes was still struggling: "That's not to scare her, it's to teach her that the world is dangerous."
Angel chuckled and did not continue. Yes or no, Doakes knew in his heart that this guy was always the first to watch the show and get the most out of it, and he was the most enthusiastic when it came to having fun.
Seeing that Angel was ignoring him, Doakes probably felt a little aggrieved and actually approached Vai.
Oh, no, it’s the Black Earl.
"Lord Black Earl, do you think Angel is too lazy to do these useless things?"
The Black Earl snorted coldly and did not respond.
Just when Doakes thought that Earl Black, like Angel, was not going to pay attention to him, Vai suddenly said: "My master asked me to tell you: I set the rules from the beginning. After entering the ruins, everything must be obeyed." Master Wei’s command, if you have any objection, then turn around and leave.”
Wai's words were a bit jarring, and it was obvious that the original words of the Black Earl were not so peaceful. As a translator, Wai could only polish them himself.
"Even the Black Earl is on Angel's side, how boring... Hey, Wai, can you speak now?"
Wai nodded: "My master just unblocked me, but asked me to stop talking nonsense. If I hear nonsense again, I will be blocked again."
"Is that so..." Dox's eyes turned, as if he thought of something fun, and said to Wai: "Anyway, we have nothing else to do now, let's chat."
After a while, watching Wai's mouth being sealed again, Dox showed a satisfied smile.
Wai wanted to cry but had no tears. He knew Dox's conspiracy and directly refused, but Dox only picked topics that interested him, and deliberately said the wrong thing. He couldn't help but pick up the topic, and the next second, his mouth was blocked.
At the same time, the Black Earl was still sneering at him in his mind.
Watching Dox walk away with a smile on his face, Wai could only grit his teeth and endure it for the time being.
After about two or three minutes, the old man who never rested finally came over.
They thought their conversation was very quiet, but in fact, Angel and others could hear it. So they already knew the result.
Rather than saying that the old man never rested went to discuss with them, it would be better to say that he went to persuade them.
Most people accepted the persuasion of the old man never rested, but there were still opponents.
For these opponents, the old man never rested suppressed all the opposition voices by his own prestige and the fact that the other party was a superhuman and that a disagreement would implicate everyone.
After making sure that everyone agreed, the old man never rested came back.
"What was the result?" Angel pretended not to know and asked.
Old Man Bu Xiu: "Dear Sir, before I tell you the result, can I ask you a small question?"
Angel glanced at Old Man Bu Xiu calmly and said directly: "Ma Qiusha and his son Kolo are in the cellar outside. You can go to them at any time, but I have sealed the door of the cellar and it will not be opened until a week later."
What Old Man Bu Xiu wanted to ask was Kolo.
Everyone knew that Kolo went to the cellar to wait for his mother to come back, otherwise Xiao Shirley would not have thought that Kolo had come back before.
Unexpectedly, Angel guessed his thoughts directly.
"Any more questions?" Angel looked at Old Man Bu Xiu.
Old Man Bu Xiu: "No, as for the result of our discussion, I believe that you already know it without me saying it."
After speaking, Old Man Bu Xiu stepped aside, and the group of people behind him also made way.
"If you like something, you can take it away at will. I just hope that you will try not to destroy everyone's residence."
Angel: "I will restrain myself."
After speaking, Angel took the lead and walked forward.
