Chapter 752 Big Brother

"What's that in your hand?" Morris came closer and asked curiously.

Beside them, Harold and Yuffie also had curious expressions on their faces.

"You mean this?" I shook the phone crystal.

The three nodded.

"Small talking crystal" I said, "Master Dewey gave it to me."

"Master Dewey!" The three of them exclaimed in unison: "That must be very expensive, right?"

I thought about it, nodded, and said, "A few million gold coins each."

"Wow, it's true!" Morris was the closest to me, and his exclamation was the loudest, which made my ears buzz.

"Fake" I chuckled and put the crystal in my arms: "Actually, I don't know how many gold coins it is worth."

"Can you help me ask Master Dewey, does he still have such a thing?" Harold said with an envious look.

"Do you want to buy it?" I turned to him and asked him.

"Ah, I have this idea, but I have to find out its price first to see if I can accept it."

"What if the price is high?" I asked.

"If the price is high but within an acceptable range, I will try to consider it."

"Okay," I said, "I'll contact him when I have time and ask him for you."

When I entered the small villa, the first thing I saw was Rodney, who was lying on the sofa, doing nothing but laziness, and Eva, who was also lazily doing nothing.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Rodney closed his eyes, motionless, and said lazily: "Uncle Harold is back?"

I sneered, and without saying a word, I quickly stepped forward and kicked over the sofa where Rodney was lying.

Rodney was so frightened that he screamed: "Who is it? There is an assassin!"

Deng Deng Deng, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from the kitchen, the curtain was lifted, and a woman, holding a kitchen knife, stood at the door with a nervous face, looking around.

I chuckled and waved to her: "Hello, Jin Siqi."

She was startled at first, then with a face full of surprise, she said, "Is it you, An Xiaoyi?"

At this time, Rodney also got up from the ground. After seeing clearly that it was me, he said with a look of surprise: "An, An Xiaoyi, when did you come?"

"While you were lying on the sofa pretending to be a sloth," I looked him up and down, frowned, and said, "By the way, I thought that after being deprived of his power and status, the descendant of our legendary hero, Carter Rodney Will you work hard and embark on a great and heroic counterattack? Is this how you waste your life every day?"

"Wasting your life?" He chuckled while holding up the sofa: "How could it be? I worked very hard, but I exercised a little too much today and came back early to rest. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Harold!"

"Harold has already told me," I said, "He said you work hard every day. In my opinion, you just work harder than before, that's all."

"Oh, it's so hurtful to say that." Rodney sat down and crossed his legs: "You don't know, now I, Uncle Harold and the others are working hard to kill monsters every day. Neither shouting tiredness nor suffering."

"Is this enough?" I sighed, sat on the sofa next to him, leaned back, raised my eyebrows and said, "If you had done this before, I might have praised you, 'You are worthy of being the Lord of Airui City. The future successor of the position', but now, I have to give you a blow. Now you are not the prince and young master of Airui City. You are just an exile who fled from Airui City to Cyber ​​City. You and other escapees The only difference between them is that you are richer than them."

"An Xiaoyi!" Jin Siqi glared at me: "What you said is too much!"

I didn't answer, just smiled at her.

After a few seconds of silence, Rodney suddenly touched his head and murmured: "Fugitive, Xiaoyi, your words are still so straightforward, your words are still so sharp and merciless, but -"

He chuckled and said: "This metaphor is very appropriate. I was deprived of my life by my father and hunted by my brother. I am indeed a fugitive as you said."

"Then why aren't you willing to work harder?"

"I work hard, very hard, really hard." He sighed and said, "But I don't have the talent in this area. Whether it's killing monsters or fighting, my talent is far from enough. In fact, I know, I have always known that every time I fight monsters in the dungeon, it is Uncle Harold and the others who take care of me, help me, withstand the attacks of monsters for me, and leave the weakest monsters to me. However, even the weakest monsters Monster, I won the victory under very difficult circumstances, every time, every time.”

"Then why do you continue to fight monsters?" I asked.

"Because this is the only thing I can do so far!" Rodney smiled awkwardly: "Although I know that my ambition may not be realized in my life, I still have to do it. After all, this is who I am. The last glimmer of hope we can keep!”

"You are right, this is the last glimmer of hope." I nodded and said, "I just appreciate this about you. No matter how big the difficulty is, you will face it optimistically and keep the last glimmer of hope in your heart. , you haven’t changed, from the day I met you in the Air City tool shop until today, you haven’t changed.”

"Hehe~" Rodney smiled sheepishly.

"You once saved my life, and I also delivered you to Dasai City safely. It's like repaying one debt, and we owe nothing to each other."

I stared into his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then continued: "Now that I'm here, I'm sitting here. I have a question to ask you. I wonder if you are willing to answer me."

"go ahead."

"If I say that I can help you, make you stronger, bring your Uncle Harold's heroic guild back to its former glory, and maybe even help you regain what you once lost, how are you going to repay me?"

"What did you say?" Rodney's eyes widened. He came closer to me in disbelief, looked at me, and said, "Can you say it again?"

Looking at him, I said word by word: "If I say that I can help you become stronger and help you regain what you have lost, how will you repay me?"

"Repay you?" He touched his nose in distress: "I don't know, I have nothing now except this villa."

"No, brother, once he asks for the villa, where will we live?" Eva whispered.

"Don't say anything." Rodney scolded her and said, "Even if Xiaoyi wants a villa, I will give it to him. Anyway, he will definitely not be able to bear to see his friends sleeping on the streets."

After that, he turned to me and said: "Xiao Yi, I don't know what I can give you, so just tell me clearly. Anyway, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you."

"You trust me so much?" I frowned, "Why?"

"Because you are a friend I recognize!" Rodney patted me on the shoulder and said, "If I can't even trust my friends, then I am really unqualified to be the eldest brother!"
