Chapter 129: The Past in the Dust (2)

"Auden, how old are you this year?" Oriken asked, squinting slightly. {shUkeju} read the novel and go to the ...... Book @ Ke ~ Ju & (read the novel, please keep in mind)

"Auden is five years old this year, and he can already read with Mr. Hyde!" Auden said excitedly: "Then what is your name, sir?" Where are you from? โ€

"I ...... I'm from a far away place, and my name is Oriken. The Hell Unicorn King is somewhat tired of being with children: "I'm tired now, Auden. โ€

Yang Hai frowned: "Doesn't he consider using a fake name?" โ€

"Kana?" Tidria glanced at Yang Hai: "Poseidon, what are you thinking?" โ€

"Ahh I forgot. Yang Hai patted his brain.

The name Oriken must be a pseudonym, because the demon will not let others know his real name, and the biggest weakness of the demon is his own name, and if he masters the name of a demon, he will also grasp the life and death of this demon. The name of the demon is known only to himself.

Hell unicorns are not a type of demon, and it doesn't matter if they know their names, but after living in Hell for so many years, they must have been assimilated by the rules there.

"I know, sir, are you going to my house? The food I cooked was delicious! Auden said expectantly.

"......" Oriken remembered that the person in front of him was a five-year-old child, and he couldn't hear the voiceover that he wanted to distance himself from him.

But Oriken thought about it, and it seemed that he had nowhere to go when he arrived at the lobsterman's village anyway, so it was better to spend the night at Auden's, and wait until the people got used to his presence. Oriken was a very cautious man, and although he felt that there should be no master who could threaten him in such a remote place, he decided to observe the environment before carrying out his own mission(*).

"Okay." Oriken casually asked, according to the custom of the people of the main physical plane, "Do you cook for yourself?" Your mom and dad must be very worry-free. โ€

The look of excitement on little Auden's face faded.

"I'm the only one in the house......"

Before Oriken could react: "What about your parents?" โ€

"Mom went to a far, far away place, and Dad went to a far, far away place." Auden pouted and said, "That's what Grandpa Hyde told me, and that's what Aunt Maha told me." But how far is it...... Mom and Dad never came back, and Sakin's father went far, far away, and he worked as a mercenary in a place called Men, and he always wrote to Sakin, but Mom and Dad never wrote to me......"

"This ......" Oriken somewhat understood Auden's words and nodded, "Not bad." โ€

"Huh?" Auden didn't quite understand.

"It's fine." Oriken smiled. Both parents died, which is the best thing, and it saves you a lot of trouble.

Yang Hai frowned: "Well, this man is too cold-blooded. โ€

"He's a demon, Poseidon." Tidria shook his head: "What else can you expect. What happened in the past is unchangeable, and you have to look at it calmly, or you risk getting into trouble. Here, too much of a fluctuation in emotions can undo all the work we made. โ€

Yang Hai nodded.

Auden Jr. led Oriken to the front of the village, where the guards were adult lobster people with the ability to transform into human form, and they looked no different from human villages. Of course, the guards stopped Oriken.

"Little Oden!" A big man with a strong face asked, "Who is this person?" โ€

"Captain Hugo, I just got Uncle Oriken back from the beach, Uncle Oriken is tired and needs to rest now." Little Auden blushed and said.

"No way!" Captain Hu Ge said with a tiger face: "There are frequent movements on the side of the deep rock whirlpool, and the invasion of demons is close at hand, we must be vigilant!" โ€

Although Captain Hugo said this, even his subordinates were somewhat disapproving. {shUkeju} read the novel and go to the ...... Book @ๅฎข~ๅฑ…& Probably these lobster people feel that the invasion of demons is too far away from their lives, and they feel that this is something that cannot happen to them at all.

But Captain Hugo had the final say, and the man looked at Oriken with a serious look.

Although Oriken tried his best to control himself, there was a strong disdain and mockery in his eyes. ,

"Boy, you're not convinced?" Oriken coughed a few times with a pale face: "Although I have just been floating in the sea for a few days, my whole body is swollen and I have no strength, but it is still not a problem to solve the young man like you who has not changed the 'diaper' cloth, do you want us to compare?" โ€

Yang Hai stuck out his tongue: "As far as a spy is concerned, this guy is too proud." โ€

"As far as I know." Tidria paused, "The Hell Unicorn King is just too proud. Although the history of the Holy War is gone, I still know a little about what happened after that, and more than two hundred years later, it seems that it was because of Oriken's pride that he stabbed the new Lord of Hell, so he was banished. Not every king is as wise as Kandal who can tolerate his men who are a hundred times more talented than himself. โ€

"Oriken is a brilliant fellow?" Yang Hai asked with some surprise, wanting to find traces of talent in Eriken's body.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Although his combat effectiveness is far worse than Evans, Oriken's talent is on par with Evans, what are you thinking! Tidria sighed: "You're too watery too?" โ€

Yang Hai was choked and speechless.

"What did you say?" Captain Hugo walked over with a glaring eye and roared loudly.

Even Yang Hai, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that his ears were shaking, and little Auden had tears in his eyes,

Oriken sneered, picked up a clod of dirt from the ground, and bounced it at Captain Hugo.

The small clod of dirt was like a pair of large, invisible hands, and although Captain Hugo blocked it with his axe, he still couldn't stop the huge thrust from pushing him several meters away, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"You son of a bitch, night elf! I'll kill you! โ€

Captain Hugo got up from the ground in a rage and roared loudly, his men holding his ears and holding himโ€”this was not an easy task, for one hand had to be used to pull people, so they could only cover one earโ€”and what about Oriken? He sat on the ground, pretending to be exhausted after several days of floating in the sea, while spurring Captain Hugo with a pale smile of disdain.

Captain Hugo was mad.

Just when everyone was almost killed by Captain Hugo, an old man walked out of the entrance of the village.

As soon as the old man appeared, Hugo wilted like a child who had made a mistake.

"Patriarch Hyde...... Why are you here......" Hugo muttered, his voice not much like that of a mosquito.

"Eggless guys." Oriken snorted.

"You could say that Hugo is a vigorous four-shot 'pervert' wolf, but to say that he has no eggs would be a big mistake." Patriarch Hyde said calmly.

"Patriarch!" Hugo said with a flushed face.

"Guests floating in the sea, please come with me." Hyde turned away with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa Hyde!" Little Oden said eagerly, "Mr. Oriken is tired!" โ€

"Oh?" Hyde's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Oriken.

Oriken still had a cynical smile.

"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow." Hyde nodded, "But guests from afar, if you want to enter this village, you must first make an oath. Pardon me, but this is a sensitive time, and I'm sure you can understand. โ€

"You've got it."

"Use honorifics!" Captain Hugo roared. "Uneducated fellow, no one told you to call the old man to use you?"

"you mb." Oriken said calmly.

Hu Gehu roared and was about to rush up, but was stopped by a gesture from Hyde.

"A salutation is just a salutation." Hyde said calmly, "Besides, judging by the eye, this guest from afar is much older than me. โ€

There was an uncontrollable look of shock in Oriken's eyes, but at that moment he lowered his head and coughed, and when he raised his head, he regained his ancient well.

"I'm not as old as you think." Oriken said. He reacted that what he said just now might just be a test, and his disguise technique was at its peak, and it was definitely not something that this ordinary old man who had no strength could see through.

Hyde stared at Oriken carefully for a while, finding no flaws, nodded, and said, "Then guest, please swear an oath, and the village will welcome you." โ€

"Say." Oriken said lightly.

"I want you to swear by your real name that you are not a demon, or else your name will be known to everyone." Hyde said softly.

"Okay." Oriken nodded: "I use my name Oriken-",

"Real name!" Hyde snorted.

"My real name is Oriken, you crazy old man." Oriken was not so easily deceived: "Okay, since you are not at ease, I swear by my real name, I am not a demon, otherwise let my name cup be known to everyone." โ€

Old man, you are also a ruthless person, but when you encounter labor and management, you are unlucky.

If I were a demon, I would be in a dilemma by now. Unfortunately, I'm not.

Hell unicorns have never belonged to the demon race.

I suffered a loss today, and I will find it back sooner or later!

"Very well, young man." Patriarch Hyde raised his eyes and said softly, "You have passed the test for the time being, come in." โ€

Oriken snorted.

"The people in your village are really unfriendly." Oriken said to Auden.

Little Auden stuck out his tongue: "Actually, Grandpa Auden and Captain Hugo are good people. โ€

"Well, is that so......" Oriken gave a strange smile to his face, and he winked at Hugo, then pretended not to see Hugo stunned, and walked into the villageโ€”

Little Auden's home was small and narrow, but it was unusually clean and tidy. Auden said a little shyly: "Mr. Oriken, you are tired like this, and you are still being reprimanded by them outside the village......"

"It doesn't matter, it's just some mortals." Oriken waved his hand.

Auden didn't know what to say to these words...... Perhaps for him, the word mortal is difficult to understand.

"Would you like to take a break? I'll call you when dinner is ready. Auden had no choice but to say so.

Oriken nodded, as if he were in his own home, and Auden didn't feel anything, and went to cook with a grimace.

"Boring little kids." Oriken said a little helplessly.

When Oriken arrived in a new environment, he used to look around, but the wooden house was so small that it consisted of only three partsโ€”a kitchen, a bedroom, and a small courtyard. Maybe that courtyard can't be considered a room, because the courtyard is empty, and the vacancy of a courtyard is just due to the architectural habits of the lobster people.

Oriken's eyes turned purple, and he wanted to see what Auden was doing.

For a man who has crawled out of hell, Oriken is vigilant wherever he goes.

Little Auden was laboriously carrying a large cauldron that was a bit heavy, and it seemed that this weight came from both the pot itself and the water in the pot.

Under Oriken's gaze, little Auden stood on top of a small wooden ladder and opened the cupboard above. The cupboard was empty, and little Auden stood on the ladder and looked at the cupboard, then took a handful out of the small pile of vegetables and climbed down the ladder.

But then he climbed up again, took another handful out of the remaining pile of vegetables, and stopped in his movements.

Oriken saw little Auden bite his lip and take all the dishes from the cupboard.

The whole cupboard became empty, and little Auden closed the cupboard, laboriously washed the vegetables, and then carefully put them into the pot, and his face "revealed" a smile of relief and contentment.

Oriken looked at all this with some dazedness, and muttered, "Boring little child. โ€

Then he sighed and walked inside the kitchen.

Osten, noticing Oriken's arrival, turned his head and asked apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Oriken, did I disturb you?" โ€

"yes." Oriken nodded: "Your cooking voice is too noisy. I can't sleep. โ€

Oriken said, washing his hands and scooping out the vegetables: "I'm sorry, I'm a carnivore, I can't eat these things of yours, I think we'd better go find something else." โ€

As he spoke, he put the vegetables back in the cupboard.

"Follow me." Oriken said.

They got out of the village and went back to the sea, where Oriken swam in, caught some fish, and then started grilling fish by the beach.

The warm and bright bonfire of the night reflected on Oriken's grim face, and little Auden wrapped his knees and buried his chin in his arms, watching curiously as Oriken grilled the fish.

"You can't be too far away from the fire, so you can't be scorched, and you can't be too close to the fire, and it's easy to get uneven heat." Oriken turned the twig in his hand and told little Auden the essentials of baking: "The most important thing is to roast the fat in the meat to the outside at high temperatures, so that the fat that has been burned out flows evenly on the surface of every inch of meat. The outside can be properly charred, but the inside must be tender, otherwise it will affect the taste. Feed...... I've said so much, would you like to try it yourself? โ€,

"Yes!"

Little Auden nodded vigorously and replied vigorously.

"Well done." Oriken watched as Auden turned the branches: "Men must learn to roast meat. โ€

"For what?" Auden asked, wide-eyed.

"Only by learning how to barbecue can you take care of yourself and live alone in this helpless world." Oriken said with some distraction: "I...... That's what my father told me. When I was younger, he said it when he taught me how to grill meat. โ€

"Grilled fish?" Auden asked curiously.

"No, it's something that's a little dangerous, though...... The gist is pretty much the same. Oriken said, "It's too close to the fire!" Far away! โ€

"Oh......"

"You don't have a father, so it's not bad for me to teach you this. Lucky boy. โ€

Auden said angrily: "Mr. Oriken! I have a father! He went far, far away! โ€

"......" Oriken was stunned for a moment, looking at the tears that glistened in Auden's eyes.

"I'm sorry...... Oden. Oriken shrugged, "You have a father." โ€

Hearing Oriken's apology, Auden was a little overwhelmed, he wrung his hands, lowered his head, and moved his lips at a loss for what to say.

"Oden, your fish!" Oriken shouted, "Turn or you'll be confused!" โ€

"Ahh Auden was in a hurry all of a sudden, and seeing that Auden was a little embarrassed, Oriken Ha Da laughed.

"Mr. Oriken...... You ......" Auden burst into tears and laughed: "You...... Ah! โ€

That day, Oriken caught a lot of fish, and they roasted the meat until late before going back.
