Chapter 2551 True and False Elves
When I asked Duncan Raphael what direction he planned to train Duncan Betty in the future, Raphael said with a slightly regretful tone: "She wants to be a dancer."
"From your tone, I don't expect her to become a dancer, so what do you expect? A doctor? A scholar? Anyway, she will definitely not be an adventurer."
He smiled bitterly and said: "Stop making fun of me, but you are right. I really don't want her to become an adventurer. It's not because I discriminate against this profession, but because adventurers are too risky. I just hope she can be safe." , live this life smoothly."
"Don't you think that if you become a dancer, you can't live your life peacefully and smoothly?"
Duncan Raphael sighed heavily: "You don't know how much it costs to become a dancer."
"you know?"
He looked at me, his lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, he said melancholy: "I know."
After taking a long breath, he continued: "Betty's mother is a dancer."
"Ha" I burst out laughing.
Duncan Raphael glared at me and said in a bad tone: "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm sorry." I suppressed my smile and said seriously, "I didn't mean to laugh at you, it's true."
"What is it?" Duncan Raphael's face darkened: "If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, we will end our friendship."
After glancing at his stern words, I completely stopped joking and said seriously: "It's hereditary, my friend."
"What?" Duncan Raphael looked confused. He didn't seem to understand what I meant.
"With today's science and technology, it may not have reached that level, but with the science and technology of ancient times, it has already broken through the bottleneck in this area. Raphael, you may not agree with what I am going to say, but these are all facts. .”
Looking at Duncan Raphael's increasingly serious expression, I slowly said: "The reason why little Betty likes to dance and wants to become a dancer is because of your wife's blood. From a more microscopic perspective, In other words, it’s heredity, Raphael, little Betty inherited your wife’s talent.”
After listening to what I said, Duncan Raphael was not shocked, but rather calm: "I know what you said. When I first entered the medical field, my mentor personally taught me about genetics. Based on the knowledge I have learned, I know that a child’s talent will be determined to a certain extent by the bloodline of his parents. I just feel regretful as to why little Betty could not inherit my talent in medicine, but inherited her mother’s talent in dancing. "
"you look like
You have a lot of resentment, Raphael, tell me, besides dancing, do you have any deeper resentment? I paused and added: “For example, your wife’s personality. "
"My wife is a very decent person and is dedicated to her work. There is no need to question this," Duncan Raphael said solemnly, but then he sighed deeply: "But because of this, she can only dance and dance. The family had the same choice, and in the end, she chose dance.”
"Abandoning your family for your dreams?"
"It's funny, isn't it?" Duncan Raphael said with a wry smile.
"I can't laugh, and I don't have the right to laugh." I smiled back with the same bitter smile, and said, "I am really impressed by your Madam's persistence in dreaming, even at the expense of everything. But because of her dream, she gave up her responsibility as a mother. , which also makes me despise, so I really can’t judge.”
"Thanks."
Duncan Raphael said sincerely.
At this moment, more than ten meters away from us, Lizzy and Little Betty were enjoying themselves while holding a large bucket of ice cream.
"I believe little Betty must miss her mother very much" I murmured.
"Maybe" Duncan Raphael sighed.
"Does your wife come to see little Betty often?" I asked.
"No." Duncan Raphael shook his head and said, "After Betty was three years old, she rarely visited her again. She only visited her about twice a year."
"Twice. She really worked hard."
I teased.
This time, Duncan Raphael was no longer anxious, with a wry smile on his face. He raised his glass and drank the strong liquor in one gulp.
"Hey, hey, it's easy for you to burp when you drink like this."
I teased him.
"No, I am a doctor and I know my body better than anyone else."
"Cut the knife to cut off the water, and the water will flow more; raise a glass to relieve the sorrow, and the sorrow will become even more sorrowful." I sighed: "Even if you drink badly, your wife may not give up on her dream, but it will harm little Betty. I suggest you still Be more open-minded and strive for better health for little Betty."
"Okay." Duncan Raphael breathed softly, seeming to feel much more relaxed. He once again took a glass of strong white wine from the waiter and raised it high: "For health."
After coughing twice, I also raised my glass and shouted: "For health!"
Master Dewey and his two majesties then raised their wine glasses and said in unison with different voices: "For health!!"
Everyone in the hall stopped talking, put down their knives and forks, raised their glasses, and shouted: "For health!!!"
"cheers!"
After several rounds of wine and delicious dishes, everyone in the hall was already full of wine and food, and chatting happily.
Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. After the two majesties announced the end of the banquet, everyone left one after another. Only Lizzy and Betty were left eating the remaining half of the bucket of ice cream, working tirelessly for the final battle. .
Looking at the blue faces of the two little guys, I asked Duncan Raphael worriedly whether they would be hungry.
Raphael said without any nervousness: "It will feel uncomfortable for a while at most."
"That's good."
As soon as I finished speaking, a chill suddenly came over me, and immediately, a sky blue ice crystal appeared in the air.
The ice crystals are in the shape of snowflakes, but unlike snowflakes, they are much larger and have a pair of flexible eyes in the middle. They are spinning around. When their eyes fall on the ice cream bucket, they cheer and rush forward. He walked over, threw himself into the bucket, and started eating.
This scene made little Betty shout out in shock.
Not only was little Betty surprised, but the two majesties were also shocked. They stared at the ice cream bucket and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
And the most surprised person was none other than Duncan Raphael.
He first exclaimed, then was stunned for a moment, and then finally came back to his senses. He raised his hand, pointed at the ice cream bucket tremblingly, and said, "That's it."
"You haven't seen him before. Let me introduce him to you. He is one of Lizi's guardians, the lower elf, Iceness."
".Lower elf? You must be kidding me!" Duncan Raphael stared at me with an extremely serious expression and said: "I have seen elves, you can't fool me! This thing, this snowflake, is absolutely It can’t be an elf!”
I didn't refute, I just looked at him quietly and said word by word: "My friend, are you sure that those you have seen must be elves?"
