This is the first laugh I've ever seen, Achilles. (8) Ω (1) ８⒈

The smile, the tone of his voice, seemed to tell me about an idol he admired, a hero he admired.

Once there is a common topic between people, they will talk endlessly.

I am like that, and Achilles is no exception.

He told me a lot, and after a long time, when the wine was cold, I asked the boss to heat it again, and when the beef was cold, I asked the boss to cook it again.

We talked from dusk until late at night, when the wine was heated seven or eight times, and the meat was boiled four or five times.

Finally, Achilles was silent, but his story was not finished.

We were silent for a while, and then I asked him, "Why don't you talk about it?" ”

Achilles drank all the wine in his glass and said, "I have said enough today, and it is the most I have said since I woke up." ”

"Isn't it very good" I also took a sip of wine, and said: "Talking can untie the knot, some problems, talking and talking, maybe it can be solved, besides, the story you said is very interesting, I happen to be the kind of person who loves to listen to stories, you express your feelings, and at the same time can satisfy my ** listening to stories, killing two birds with one stone." ”

"I think you're more focused on the latter," Achilles said indifferently.

"Hehe" I laughed, "You're right, I'm better at simply listening to stories than being a listener to your life experiences." ”

It was useless for a while, it was getting late, the wine was gone, there was not much beef left, I was tired, and Achilles looked very tired, so they said goodbye to each other and got up to leave.

Achilles went in the direction of the city lord's mansion, and I found an ordinary small inn to rest at the intersection of the civilian and slum areas.

Early the next morning, I checked out and left.

Rush to the adventurer's base and start asking Master Hall to draw the ghost talisman on my arm.

After almost a whole day of painting, and he didn't even eat lunch, he finally finished it, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to me with gratitude: "Now, I have spiritual sustenance again." ”

"Huh?" I wondered, "What does spiritual sustenance mean?" Don't you have anything you can do on a regular basis? ”

Master Hall sighed and said, "Yes, but it's just to review some official documents of Eri City, and now that the city lord of Eri City has begun to set up our rights, maybe it won't be long before we become real decorations." ”

"And then he's going to kill you?" I asked a little worriedly.

"I don't know," Master Hall shook his head, sighed, and said, "I don't think so, they will send us back by airship at most." ”

"That's good," I said, "if you are killed, Dewey and the Goblin King will be very sad." ”

"Oh?" Master Hall was interested and said, "Have you seen Dewey and Davide?" ”

"I've seen them," I said, "they're all very good, they seem to be studying some kind of puppeteer at the moment, it's a very powerful thing, but the movement is a little stiff." ”

"Haha, it's still a puppeteer" Master Hall smiled: "I told them a long time ago that there are limitations to this kind of thing like puppeteers, they just refuse to listen, and they are still stubbornly driving, it's really like their style!" ”

As he spoke, Master Hall suddenly sighed and said, "The two places are separated, and many years have passed, and I really miss these two old guys!" ”

"Don't you see Dewey often?" I asked.

"Look at the current appearance of Ari City, in a short period of time, will there be a chance to meet?" "And, ah, I'm worried that Carter Horton guy is going to make Ari City a dead city like Yorkham for the sake of centralizing power." ”

"Yorkham is a dead city?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Well" Master Hall said: "If you look at the surface, Yorkham is not a dead city, it is still trading and operating, and the residents in the city are still living, and it looks like it is thriving, but in fact, Yorkhancheng is highly centralized, closed, and never communicates with other towns, and the facilities in the city are very old, even the weapons and armor are hundreds of years ago, and they have been far away from other towns on this Zefengda 6. ”

"Oh~ When you say Dead City, you mean their scientific and technological strength" I spread my hands and said, "However, the current Zefeng Da 6, isn't it still measured by personal strength?" ”

Master Hall smiled: "No, it won't be, it won't be long before a new force will be mixed in, and together with personal strength, it will become a new measure." ”

"You mean puppets?" I asked, "Do you think the puppet will come to the stage of history to measure strength?" ”

"Wouldn't it?" Master Hall asked rhetorically.

I pursed my lips and said, "I don't know if it's going to be or not, but I've had a fight with the latest type of puppet before, and I've broken it apart." ”

"That's because it's not perfect," Master Hall said.

"Do you have a plan to perfect the puppet?" I asked.

Master Hall smiled, "Do you know why we have the confidence to help you unravel the secret of the runes on your arm?" ”

I was stunned: "Is it related to puppets?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it doesn't matter much" Master Hall shook his head and said, "It's because of the forbidden literature left by our goblin ancestors, which contains annotations to some runes on your arm, although not all of them, but they can also parse a considerable part of the content. ”

"But what does this have to do with the puppet?"

"Of course it matters," Master Hall said, "The runes on these forbidden documents are the runes that our ancestors used to make puppets in the first place!" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Looking down at my left arm, I was a little confused and said, "So, is my left arm also a puppet?" ”

As I spoke, I subconsciously pinched my left arm and then my right arm......

"I'm talking about the runes on the forbidden literature left by my ancestors, what does it have to do with your arm, and besides, I can say with certainty that your arm is a normal arm, not a puppet," Master Hall said, "So, don't worry about those messy things. ”

"Oh, I'm relieved when you say that" I nodded, and said: "Anyway, I was looking forward to it just now, will a cannon barrel or something suddenly pop out of my arm, and then be able to shoot high-destruction weapons such as laser cannons, hey, the result is still in vain." ”

"What did you say?" Master Hall didn't hear my complaint.

"It's nothing," I said, "I said, Master Hall, aren't the puppets you make now as powerful as those made by your ancestors?" ”
