Chapter 1867 Resentment
The early morning of autumn is getting colder and colder.
With my hands folded behind my head, I lay on the grass next to the tent, staring at the stars that were still twinkling, feeling the chill from the earth.
The rising sun slowly rises from the horizon, first revealing a golden-red edge like an egg yolk, then the edge turns into a somewhat dazzling half-poached egg, and then, with a swish, it jumps out of the horizon and shines with dazzling light. .
"If Phoenix saw this scene, he would definitely drool and say, 'Wow, what a big butter pancake.'"
Leisurely, after admiring the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, I couldn't help but sigh.
On the horizon, a black shadow is slowly heading here. It is the magic airship that Master Dewey is riding.
This is the first time I have observed the slowly approaching magic airship from the perspective of a bystander. I have to say that it is really magnificent and spectacular.
It's like an aircraft carrier moving forward slowly, treating the sky as an ocean.
But it was clear to me that it was much bigger than an aircraft carrier.
The magic airship roared and slowly landed in the open space hundreds of meters away. Then, the hatch opened, and Master Dewey led a group of people down the elevator.
Master Dewey was dressed in casual clothes, his face was slightly pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He must have stayed up late studying ancient texts again, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Parallel with Master Dewey is his childhood sweetheart, the former elder of the Adventurer Base in Airui City, Master Hall.
The old man looked tired and was not in a good mental state. Judging from his appearance, he must have cheered up.
Behind them is a staff team composed of dwarves and goblins, with a total of more than ten people.
Following these dozen people were hundreds of fully armed dwarf adventurers. Although they looked at me with respect and obedience, I could vaguely feel that they exuded a strong aura. .
I dare to conclude that no one in this team of hundreds of people is weaker than me.
"Father" I walked up to Master Dewey, bowed respectfully, and said, "This is just a tomb robbing operation. Is your formation a bit too big?"
Master Dewey waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's always good to be prepared, but why do you always do this kind of tomb robbing business? Isn't it because you don't have enough money? Didn't I entrust you with the magic airship business? Really? This is a big business, the kind where you can make a profit without losing any money!"
"Well," I scratched my head and said with a smile, "You're right, the magic airship does allow me to earn tens of thousands of dollars a day. Thanks to you, I basically have more money than I can spend even if I want to."
Master Dewey's expression changed, his tone was unkind, and he said: "Then why do you still want to rob tombs? Do you have a hobby in this area?"
"No, no, no," I waved my hands repeatedly and clarified, "This is really not a hobby, I'm just curious."
"Are you really just curious?" Master Dewey stared at me and asked.
"I'm really just curious," I confessed honestly: "Actually, I didn't discover this tomb, but a few descendants of legendary heroes who were extradited to Cyber City by me to enjoy their blessings. Well, don't get me wrong, they are not tomb robbers. , they only accidentally discovered this mausoleum while patrolling. At first, they thought this was a hiding place for the bandit gang that invaded the border of Dashai City. After sneaking in secretly, they suddenly understood that this was not a hiding place at all. But it was a deserted tomb, and what the heck, hadn't I done the job of robbing tombs before, the time I woke up Achilles, and then I was tricked into being a tomb robber. These people who have been living in Airui City The descendants of the legendary hero naturally know my identity, so as a way of repaying their kindness, they informed me as soon as possible. Even if I didn’t tell you what happened next, you would have already guessed it.”
Master Dewey nodded and said earnestly: "Xiaoyi, robbing tombs is not a serious business. I can understand and accept that those poor people who are trapped by life and have no choice but to do this do it. , but you are not short of money, and you are in a high position, and you are also my future heir, Dewey, and the son-in-law of the Dwarf King. Do you know that your honor and disgrace no longer represent an individual, but represent Fort Vicky."
"Yes, I understand," I said with a low eyebrow, "I will try my best to exercise restraint in the future."
Master Dewey nodded and stopped lecturing.
Master Hall on the side started chatting and said dissatisfied: "Xiao Yi, what phone crystal did you use to call your adoptive father in the middle of the night? As a result, I was also dragged along! You don't know, I'm here I couldn't sleep at all on the magic airship. In addition, I have been studying ancient texts for the past few days and barely slept. Now I am on the verge of collapse at any time. If you can't give me a satisfactory result, believe it or not, I will get mad at you. look?!"
Seeing Master Hall's impulsive expression, I wanted to laugh.
I vaguely remember that when we first met, Master Hall was wearing a pair of thick-soled glasses, and his every move looked like a master.
Looking now, his master-like manner has been completely discarded, replaced by a more cordial true nature.
Although this friendly energy is a bit overwhelming.
I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Entering the tomb passage, I told Master Dewey and others to walk carefully and it would be better to follow my footsteps, which would be safer.
Masters Dewey and Hall, as well as a kind of staff, all looked surprised when they saw the relief murals on both sides of the tomb passage.
Master Dewey murmured: "I didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous tomb would have such spectacular art!"
Master Hall was so shocked that he had long forgotten that he was in the tomb passage at this time. He walked to the relief in a few steps, stretched out his thick calloused fingers, and carefully touched every relief he could touch.
It's a pity that he is too short. Even if he jumps high, he can't reach one-third of the height of the relief.
"Master Hall!" I raised my voice and reminded: "Please be careful, there are many traps here, but I managed to sneak into the tomb with great effort!"
As soon as he heard what I said, Master Hall reluctantly left in front of the relief. He looked at me resentfully and said, "Why don't you clean up all the institutions here?"
"Hall!" Master Dewey criticized: "Xiaoyi is my son, not a target to test the machine!"
Master Hall obviously also discovered his slip of the tongue, but he still curled his lips and said displeased: "Anyway, you have strong self-healing ability, so it won't be a problem if you carry it a few more times."
I understand Master Hall's feelings. He doesn't really want to use me as a target to trigger the mechanism. He just doesn't want to be able to see these exquisite relief murals from a distance and not be able to appreciate them up close.
