Chapter 834: Lady Laura
Chapter 834: Lady Laura
A few years ago, MiG City was just an ordinary city in Negan, located on the Solo Peninsula, which can be said to have no special sè among the many cities in Negan, and it is not famous on the continent of Erathia, in fact, not to mention people other than Negan, even many Negan people do not know that Negan has a place called MiG City. first
However, with the miraculous rise of the Entagri Empire, MiG City is now a household name on the mainland, because the current political center of the Entagri Empire, the residence of the Emperor of the Entagri Empire, New Mig Fort, is near MiG City.
There is such a legendary man living here, of course, MiG City has become no longer ordinary, and the scale of the city has been expanded again and again, to now, MiG City is already Negan's number one big city, very prosperous, although there have always been rumors that His Majesty the Emperor will eventually set the imperial capital in Hammondal, and has also begun planning and construction in the local area, but the Ntagri people always subconsciously regard MiG City as their imperial capital, this view is so deep-rooted, so that after a few years, When Chen Jian really moved the capital to Hammondal, there was a new capital and an old capital in the empire, the new capital was of course Hammondal, and the old capital was MiG City, of course, these are later words.
Such a city is naturally thriving and lively, and even the pessimistic Gru can really feel the vitality and happy atmosphere of the city, which makes him a little at a loss.
It has been two days since Gru came to MiG City, and in the past two days, he has wandered around the city aimlessly, he has drunk ale wine at the famous old Kobe tavern, and he was even lucky to meet the legendary old Kobe, and he heard a lot about Chen Jian's heroic deeds from the other party; He went to the Imperial Football Stadium to watch a football match, and made a small bet, and won because the team he bet on happened to be the winner of the game that day; Like many travelers, he looked at the majestic New Mig Fort from afar; He roamed the streets of the city, feeling the hopeful and peaceful life of the locals.
On the third day, Gru didn't get up as early as he had done the previous two days, and he didn't wake up until three strokes in the morning.
The sleeping Gru had a dream in which he seemed to repeat his life's journey, he dreamed of his mother, who now can't remember her face, he dreamed of Parson sending him into the moon shadow, he dreamed of his encounter with Kendall, he dreamed of his return to the kingdom of the jīng, he dreamed of the battle that sacrificed his life and death again and again, he dreamed that he was planning his plan, and finally, he dreamed that he had finally gathered the blade of doom and the sword of ice, and then, he destroyed the world.
It's just that for some reason, in the dream, he finally achieved his wish, but he didn't feel excited about this great success, on the contrary, he felt a burst of incomparable loss.
When he finally woke up from this dream, the half-jīng spirit was already in tears.
He lay on the bed in a daze, and lay down for most of the day, until it was almost dusk, when he got up and ate something casually, and then, with a bit of a bad mood, went out again.
A lot of people want to have a drink when they're in a bad mood, and Gru is no exception, so he decides to go for a drink, so he walks towards Old Kobe's tavern, and although he doesn't like the atmosphere, he likes the wine.
As he walked, Gru met many groups of children.
Having been traveling around the Entagre Empire for a while, Gru wasn't surprised by the presence of these kids, knowing that it was school end time and the kids were on their way home.
School was also a very new word for Gru, he didn't quite understand why the Entagri Empire had made great efforts to build schools across the country, and sent all the children to learn those things that were not there, but now he didn't bother to pay attention to these, he continued to walk towards Old Kobe's tavern, until he saw a group of special children appear, he stopped in shock.
It was a different group of kids, because some of them had more than two racial characteristics, that is, they were half-breeds, half-races like Gru.
In particular, there are two semi-jīng spirits in it that are the same as Gru.
Gru was stunned.
This was the first time he had seen other half-jīng spirits.
So he involuntarily followed behind the group of children.
To Gru's surprise, there was such a strange group of children walking on the street, but the pedestrians around him ignored it, and they took it for granted, and occasionally some people smiled and greeted the children.
Could it be that racial equality in the Entagri Empire has been achieved to the point where even half of the spirit is acceptable to the people? Gru was a little unsure.
The group of children was obviously very happy, and they laughed and laughed all the way, and Gru watched it all in a daze, and then he followed them through two streets to a small two-story building with a garden, which was quite common in MiG.
Gru saw the children cheering and pouring into the garden, and then into the small building, where a human woman stood and greeted them with a smile, and it seemed that they all lived here.
When all the children had disappeared into the building, the human woman turned her head to look at Gru, who was standing across the road, with obvious confusion in her eyes - Gru stood there dumbfounded, looking a little suspicious.
After hesitating for a moment, Gru walked towards the small building and found that he was coming, and the human woman who was about to turn around and enter the house also stopped.
"What's the matter with you? Mr. She asked Gru softly.
"Hello, NV, I saw those kids, um, I mean, I saw some of them......" Gru looked at this obviously just an ordinary person, dressed as an inconspicuous human woman, but for a moment he didn't know how to express his intentions, or rather, he didn't really understand what he wanted to do now, "It's a little strange, they ......"
However, the human woman seemed to understand what Gru meant, and after taking a few closer glances at Gru, she suddenly smiled.
"You must be a stranger, sir," she said with a smile, "I know you speak of those poor children, and if you don't mind, go in and sit down!" ”
She stepped out of the way and made a gesture of invitation to Gru, "If you're worried about those kids, why don't you go in and see how they're doing?" I think they will be happy to see you, after all, they rarely have the opportunity to see people like themselves. ”
Gru was stunned again, because from the other party's words, he realized that the other party had seen through his disguise and recognized his semi-jīng spirit identity.
He watched the human woman warily.
"Don't be so nervous, half-jīng spirit, I have no ill will towards you!" The human woman Nv noticed Gru's nervousness and laughed again, "I don't know what kind of past you have and what injustices you have suffered, but in this country, there is no need for you to hide your identity at all, and we do not exclude half-jīng spirits here. ”
She made a gesture of invitation again: "You may not believe it at first, but I actually have a half-jīng spirit son, it's a pity, he is always running around and is not at home all the year round, otherwise I would be glad to let you meet him!" ”
"Your son is also a half-jīng spirit?" Gru looked at the human woman in shock.
"yes, he's a half-jīng spirit! Because my husband is a jīng spirit! As if she remembered something, she sighed, "I don't know about your past, but I think we all have similar experiences, but now it's all over!" Let's go inside, let's talk inside, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Laura, and the children you see are all orphans I adopted! ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Laura, I'm Granus, a traveler, and as you can see, I'm still a half-jīng spirit." Concealing his true identity, Gru also introduced himself, and then, he walked into the small building with Lady Laura, who was a little unsettled, and Gru did not notice that in the corner of the garden, there was a human man who was looking at him with wary eyes, but only because of Lady Laura's secret gesture, he did not come forward.
"Kids, we've got guests!" As soon as he entered Mén, Gru heard Lady Laura call out so loudly, and then he found himself soon surrounded by a group of children.
Gru didn't know what he wanted to do here, but he obediently did as Lady Laura asked, removed the disguise from his face, revealed his true colors, and found out that he was also a half-jīng spirit, and he was immediately bombarded with questions from these children.
Lady Laura chuckled at the scene, then turned away: "I'll go and get people to order tea and snacks, Mr. Granus, and you can play with the children for a while!" By the way, I think the kids will be happier if you stay and have dinner with us! ”
Gru, who was sitting in the living room surrounded by a large group of children, was a little at a loss at this time, he had never experienced such an experience, he did not know how to deal with the situation in front of him, but he nodded to Lady Laura, and this action drew a shrill cheer from the children.
For some reason, looking at the little faces full of curiosity in front of him, and then at the two half-jīng spirit children who were also elated, Gru found that his mood was much better.
Then he had to start dealing with all sorts of bizarre questions that came out of the mouths of the children.
"Will you be friends with us?" When Lady Laura reappeared with a large tray, one of the half-jīng spirit children asked Gru such a question.
This question made Gru's heart chuckle hard.
Because Gru knew he didn't have any friends.
Although Jiāo is extremely wide, and many people regard him as their most reliable friend, Banjīng Ling knows very well in his heart that he has always lived with a mask and has never had a real friend.
There was never anyone with whom he could share his pains, his joys, and he never had anyone who could listen to him, he was alone in this world.
He didn't need friends, and he had always believed that friendship was the least reliable thing ever.
But his face was still smiling, and he smiled as gently as ever: "Okay, if you want to be friends with me." ”
"From now on, you're my Gander's friend!" The little half-jīng spirit named Gander jumped up happily, "That, I will help you, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me, tell you, I learned a lot in school, a lot of things that adults don't know, I know!" ”
"Alright, you proud fellow!" Putting down the tray, Lady Laura smiled and patted Gandel's head gently, "Alright, those who want to have a snack, all go outside and wash your hands!" ”
Looking at the apparently freshly baked biscuits on the tray, the children around Gru cheered and ran out of Mén, and Gru saw through the window that a man dressed as a servant in the garden was happily fetching water from a well to wash his hands.
However, what made Gru's eyelids jump was that the man dressed as a servant actually had a standard scimitar of the Entagrean Army at his waist, and this man had a fairly obvious military brand in his gestures.
That's simply a well-trained soldier.
And the man's eyes were glancing into the room from time to time.
This discovery made Gru a little suspicious.
Lady Laura noticed Gru's uneasiness: "Ah, don't be afraid, that's the guards my son sent to me, they are all like this, always suspicious, in fact, my home is not here, but I live here alone with these children for convenience, and he is not at ease, so he sent me a few guards from the army!" ”
Gru couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
He suddenly regretted that he had easily exposed his true face in front of people, because he had already roughly guessed the true identity of the lady Laura in front of him.
Lady Laura just said that her son was a half-jīng spirit, and now it seems that this half-jīng spirit is still a half-jīng spirit with a certain status in the Ntagre's army, and as far as Gru knows, there is only one and only such a half-jīng spirit in the Ntagre's army.
"Is your son the famous General Pete?" He asked tentatively.
His question made Lady Laura laugh happily: "Oh, do you know anything about Pete too?" It seems that Pete is really famous! ”
Her face was full of pride.
Gru secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Banjīng Lingpit, a famous senior general of the Entagrei Empire, is also one of the founding heroes of the Entagrei Empire, and the emperor of the Entagrei Empire, Chen Jian, is very strong, once commanded the Entagrean army alone in Bairdes and defeated the attacking Erathia army with few victories and many strengths, such a person, how can it be described in four words that he is very famous?
It's just that Gru never imagined that he would meet Pete's mother in MiG City.
"I'm sorry, Lady Laura, but it occurred to me that I had some important things to do in a hurry! I'm afraid I'll have to leave now, and unfortunately I won't be able to have dinner with the kids as promised! ”
With this thought, Gru got up and said goodbye to Lady Laura, he was very worried that if he stayed any longer, he might run into someone he shouldn't bump into, Lady Laura didn't recognize him, but Pete, who was in a high position in the Entagri Empire, and Lady Laura's husband, the same as Pete, was in a high position in the Entagri Empire, and was still quite famous in the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, but it was very likely that he would recognize him, and he didn't want to take any risks.
"Hey, is it really that important?" Lady Laura looked at Gru in surprise, "Can't you really stay?" The kids will be disappointed, they love you! ”
"I'm really sorry, but ......"
Gru stood up apologetically, ready to thank him for the invitation again, but today he seemed destined to leave as he wished, because before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden cheer from the children who were washing their hands, and some sounds that were clearly the sound of the carriage stopping.
Someone's coming.
"Aunt Warita! It's Aunt Warita! ”
"Aunt Warita is here!"
The familiar name caused Gru's pupils to contract violently.
Because if this Warita is the Warita in his memory, his identity will really be exposed.
He quickly rearranged the disguise on his face, but it was still too late, and before he could say goodbye to Lady Laura, an nvjīng spirit had already stepped out of the parked carriage outside Mén.
A nvjīng spirit holding a half-jīng spirit baby, and then she was welcomed into the garden by the excited children, and was surrounded by the big mén of the small building.
When Gru goes out now, he will definitely have to meet this nvjīng spirit.
He was not confident that his disguise would be able to hide from the other party's eyes in this situation.
And along with this nvjīng spirit, there were several male NVs who looked like guards, and at this time, they were waiting outside, and one of them smiled and greeted the guard of Lady Laura in the garden.
"What's wrong with you? Mr. Granus? At this time, Pete's mother, Laura, finally noticed Gru's strange appearance, and she asked with concern.
The kind-hearted Laura didn't realize what a dangerous person she was standing in front of her at this time.
Gru's right hand was already gripping a short sword he had hidden in his clothes.
His eyes scanned the room, looking for an exit from which he could escape, but unfortunately, there was no exit beyond the large mén and a few windows facing the garden, and if he wanted to leave from anywhere else, he would have to enter the rest of the interior of the small building, and to do so would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Lady Laura, who was convinced that there must be other Lady Laura's guards in the small building.
For a moment, Gru was in a dilemma.
He hesitated, and the nvjīng spirit who was holding the baby had already come to the big mén outside, and he was about to enter the house.
Gru sighed secretly, and then without a trace, he took the opportunity to move towards the mouth of Mén, closing the distance between himself and Lady Laura, and he was ready to take Lady Laura hostage and leave once his identity was really revealed.
"I'm fine, Lady Laura, thank you for your concern, I really should go, but before I want to go, I'd better say goodbye to the children!"
