"What do you have in your hand?" Morris leaned in, curious.

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

"You say this?" I shook the call crystal.

The three nodded.

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

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

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

"Wow, it's really fake!" Morris was closest to me, and the exclamation was the loudest, ringing in my ears.

"Fake," I smiled, and took the crystal into my arms, "Actually, I don't know how much gold it's worth." ”

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

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

"Ah, there's an idea, but I'll have to figure out the price of it first to see if I can accept it."

"What if it's expensive?" I asked.

"If it's expensive, but it's still acceptable, I'll try to think about it."

"Okay," I said, "I'll contact him when I'm free and help you ask." ”

......

......

When I entered the villa, the first thing I saw was Rodney, who was lying on the sofa and doing something lazily, and Eva, who was also doing something lazily.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Rodney closed his eyes, didn't move, and said lazily: "Uncle Harold is back?" ”

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

Rodney snorted in fright: "What person? There are assassins! ”

Kicking and kicking, a rush of footsteps sounded from the kitchen, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a woman, holding a kitchen knife, stood at the door with a nervous face, looking around.

I chuckled and waved at her, "Hello, Jin Siqi." ”

She was stunned at first, then her face was full of surprise, and said, "It's you, An Xiaoyi?" ”

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

"While you were lying on the couch pretending to be a sloth," I looked him up and down, frowned, and said, "By the way, I thought that after being stripped of power and status, our legendary hero descendant, Carter Rodney, would work hard and embark on a great and heroic counterattack. ”

"Wasted life?" He lifted up the sofa and said with a smile: "How come, I'm working hard, it's just that I exercised a little bit a lot today, and I came back early to rest, I don't believe you asked Uncle Harold!" ”

"Harold has already told me," I said, "that you work hard every day, and in my opinion, you just work a little harder than you used to, that's all." ”

"Oh, it's so hurtful for you to say that" Rodney sat down and crossed Erlang's legs: "Don't you know, now I work hard with Uncle Harold and them every day to kill monsters, and one kill is a day, neither shouting tiredness nor bitterness." ”

"So satisfied?" I made a cut, sat down on the sofa next to him, leaned back, raised my eyebrows, and said: "If you had done this before, I might have praised you for 'really worthy of being the future successor to the position of the lord of Eri City', but now, I have to strike you, now you are not the prince and young master of Eri City, just an exile who fled from Eri City to Cyberjaya, you are different from other fugitives, you may be the only one who is richer than them." ”

"An Xiaoyi!" Jin Siqi glared at me angrily: "Your words are too much! ”

I didn't answer, just smiled at her.

After a few seconds of silence, Rodney suddenly touched his head and muttered, "O fugitives...... Xiao Yi, your words are still so straightforward, your words are still so sharp, and you are ruthless, but-"

He smiled and said, "This metaphor is very apt, deprived by my father and chased and killed by my brother, I am indeed a fugitive as you say. ”

"Then why don't you try harder?"

"I've worked hard, I've worked hard, I've worked really hard," he sighed, and said, "But, I don't have the talent for this, whether it's killing monsters or fighting, my talent is far from enough, in fact, I know, I've always known that every time I fight monsters in the dungeon, it's Uncle Harold who takes care of me, helps me, bears the monster's attack for me, and leaves the weakest monster to me, but, even the weakest monster, I win in a very difficult situation, every time, every time." ”

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

"Because that's the only thing I could do so far!" Rodney smiled awkwardly: "Although I know that my ambition may not be realized in my lifetime, I still have to do it, after all, this is the last ray of hope I can keep!" ”

"You're right, this is the last ray of hope" I nodded, and said, "I just appreciate you, no matter how big the predicament is, you will face it with joy, and keep the last glimmer of hope in your heart, you haven't changed, since the day I met you in the Eri City tool shop, until today, it hasn't changed." ”

"Hey~" Rodney smiled embarrassedly.

"You have saved my life, and I have safely delivered you to the city of Dasai, even if you repay one account, and you do not owe each other."

I looked him in the eye, was silent for a few seconds, and continued: "Now, here I am, sitting here, I have a question for you, I don't know if you will answer me. ”

"Just ask."

"If I say that I can help you, make you stronger, restore Uncle Harold's Valiant Guild 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, and he approached me in disbelief, looked at me, and said, "Can you say that again?" ”

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

"Repay you?" He touched his nose in distress: "I don't know, I don't have anything now, except for this villa ......"

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

"Don't squeak" Rodney smacked her and said, "Even if Xiao Yi wants a villa, I will give it to me, anyway, he will definitely be reluctant to watch 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, just tell me clearly, anyway, as long as I can give it, I will give it all to you." ”

"You trust me so much?" I frowned and said, "Why?" ”

"Because you're my approved friend!" Rodney patted me on the shoulder and said, "I can't even trust my friends anymore, I'm really disqualified as a big brother!" ”
