Chapter 821: Courage
My nosebleed, in the beautiful scene of continuous blessings, finally broke through the last line of defense and gushed out.
In my ears, I heard the exclamations and panic of the girls.
"Ah, Xiao Yi is spurting blood!"
"What to do, what to do? How can I stop the bleeding? ”
"Paper, find a tissue."
"I don't have a tissue, so why don't I plug it with my clothes first."
"Clothes? All I have left is my underwear! ”
Burst!
A large nosebleed erupted again, and in a trance, I seemed to see a river, and a white-bearded old man on the other side of the river was waving at me.
"Sorry! Xiao Yi is spurting blood again! ”
"Quick! Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation! ”
Burst!
......
......
When I woke up again, it was almost dinner, and I was dizzy and crawled out of bed.
Pushing open the door, I entered the hall, and on the table in the hall, there were several hot stir-fried dishes, which were full of aroma.
Around the dining table, Taylor and a few other men sat around the sofa, while the girls were busy in the kitchen.
Taylor was looking at Godot and Billy with eyebrows, Zach was chatting with Yang Ka, Jackson was staring at the proprietress with affection, several of Yang Ka's companions were drinking and talking nonsense, and Loki was staring obscenely at Lily and Lizzy who were playing with Xiao Qi in the yard, as well as Remy.
No, to be exact, he only had Lily in his eyes.
When they saw me come out, the gentlemen got up to greet me, except for Taylor.
The old man was still drinking one sip of wine, and when he saw me sitting down, he lowered the wine bottle and said, "Bastard, are you finally awake?" ”
"Ah, wake up," I rubbed my forehead and said, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"I don't know," he said, "you've been asleep since we came back." ”
"Oh......" I nodded and asked again, "How did I fall asleep?" Why don't I remember? ”
"Oh, how rare, don't say it's you, you just find someone to ask, can anyone remember how they fell asleep?" Billy teased.
"Yes," I pouted, my head was a little dizzy, and I didn't have the interest to continue arguing with him for the time being.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, how are things going in Dasai City?" Princess Anarieta suddenly approached me and asked.
I realized that not all girls went to the kitchen, and Princess Ananita was an exception.
Thanks to the fact that she didn't help in the kitchen, otherwise, all of us might have lost our lives.
......
......
On Earth, there is a name for an extremely terrible food, called dark cuisine.
Dark cuisine is dark cuisine precisely because it has a cuisine that makes the person who tastes the food feel the fear of darkness.
This kind of cuisine will not be fatal or dead, but it will make people unable to survive and die.
And Princess Anarita made this type of dish.
In the days after she regained her memory, there was a time when she had a convulsion and made a table of food and invited us to taste it.
But just as we were throwing our chopsticks and preparing to eat, Billy, who was quick with his hands, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground for no apparent reason.
We tried our best to save him from the pain of peeling his skin.
When asked what was going on, he trembled and pointed to the dish on the table and said in fear, "This dish ...... Poisonous! ”
After that, the table of food was secretly disposed of by us, but inadvertently, killed a group of innocent stealing rats.
Since then, Princess Ananalita has been forbidden to enter the kitchen mecca, and has solemnly declared that whoever lets her in will be responsible for eating her cooking.
......
......
After eating, at the instigation of everyone, I told the story of being the person in charge of Dasai City as a story.
Everybody listened to it with relish, and I suddenly realized that I seemed to have the talent to be a storyteller, and maybe one day, when I had completed all my goals, I would set up a stall in my favorite town, set up a shed, get almost herbal tea, and treat the story of my life as a storyteller, which will be listened to by everyone.
Well, that's a good idea.
I pinched my chin and nodded.
Back in my room, Lirea told me that the Elven Empress had sent someone to look for me during my absence.
I suspect that most likely the goblin assist members have also taught the key points.
......
......
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, and the fact that the news of my return had not yet reached the Elven Empress, I hurried to Wren's treehouse.
The ornament on the door had changed, and I knocked on it.
Soon, there was a coughing sound in the room, and Wren was back!
Pushing open the door, Wren was resting on the sofa, his eyes closed, silent, dead as a sculpture.
If it weren't for that cough, I would have thought of him as a lifeless sculpture, or a dead and stiff corpse.
"You're back?"
The words seemed to come from his throat like a dead tree trunk, low and hoarse, abrupt, tearing apart the dead silence and startling me.
"Well, I'm back," I said, after a moment's pause, "I thought you were resting." ”
"I've been resting" Wren's dry voice didn't rise or fall in the slightest, "It's just that I rest in a different way than yours." ”
"What's the difference?" I asked.
"As long as I'm not struggling on the edge of life and death, it's time for me to rest."
"It's cruel."
Wren sneered twice, then fell silent again.
After a few seconds of relative silence, I said, "Wren, do you have time?" ”
He didn't answer, that's acquiescence.
"If you have time, I'd like to tell you something."
Still silent, still acquiescing.
"I want you to help train a few of my men," I said, "I believe that only you can do it." ”
He remained silent.
I continued: "These subordinates are all carefully selected elven youths, and each of them has been cultivated in the manner of assassins, but the ability of those who cultivate them is limited, and they cannot be trained into powerful assassins. ”
"You want me to help you train a batch of killing machines, right?" Wren's voice was still dry, but a slight tremor could be heard.
I suspect that this may be a harbinger of excitement.
To test my point, I continued: "Killing machines...... Well, that's pretty much it, and I want you to train them and form a team of my own assassination. ”
"Assassination squad?" Wren sneered: "You are very ambitious! ”
"Man, it's natural to be ambitious," I smiled.
"If you are too ambitious, you will sink," he said coldly, "just like a flat boat, you will never be able to conquer the sea." ”
"You're right," I said lightly, "If you want to conquer the sea, you can't do it with just a flat boat, but if I build a giant ship as vast as the sea, I can conquer the sea, right?" ”
"Do you have the courage?" His eyes narrowed, staring at me.
