Chapter 101: Don't Talk
When I got up the next day, Chino stroked the cat for a while and prepared to go out for breakfast.
In the past few months, because he has been staying in a hotel, and the cook of the executive mansion has also died, Chino can only go to the folk restaurant to eat, and it can be said that he has eaten all over the streets and alleys of Twilight City.
Chino's breakfast stop is the "Warm Breadshop", which is run by a mother and daughter, the mother is Faphora and the daughter is Wendy.
Chino's breakfast here is Chino's favorite, order a piece of honey oatmeal bread, a cup of sweet buffalo milk, accompanied by two eggs from his own backyard, and a secret grilled sausage brushed with honey.
Although the mansion has been rebuilt and now has a dedicated cook, Chino is still used to coming here for breakfast, and Lugo often follows as a bodyguard.
While waiting for the meal to be served, the post boy happened to run past the shop, shouting: "Daily Chronicle! "Daily Chronicle"! Anyone would like one? There's big news from Thundercloud City today! ”
Chino raised his hand and called, "Hello, give me one." ”
The post boy ran over: "2 iron moons." ”
Chino bought one and began to look through it.
The Daily Chronicle is the official newspaper of the Kingdom of Dogurand, which mainly records the affairs of the kingdom, news of wars, royal councils, religious activities, etc.
Today's headline board published a news: The day before yesterday, the administrator of Thundercloud City in Beacon Province, Erin Troy, was poisoned at home and died, and there were traces of a fight before his death. The security captain has identified the suspect as a local businessman who is suspected of having absconded.
Lugo froze at the news, glanced at Chino with a wandering look, and finally decided not to speak.
A deep smile appeared on Chino's face, and he casually skimmed through the other news before putting the newspaper aside.
At this time, Wendy came over with a plate, it was a little girl of 10 years old, with a pair of cute big eyes, she looked like a pink carved, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Lord Administrator, this is your breakfast." ”
Chino: "Thank you, little Wendy. ”
Wendy put down the plate, looked up at Lugo who was standing, and asked in a milky voice, "Uncle Lugo, won't you eat?" ”
Lugo smiled kindly, "Uncle Lugo is the Administrator's bodyguard, and he must concentrate and be on guard at all times for possible dangers, so he can't sit down to eat. ”
"Oh~ I see." Wendy nodded thoughtfully.
Chino took a sip of buffalo milk and asked casually, "Little Wendy, are there only two people in the warm bakery, you and your mother?" How come I've never seen your dad? ”
Wendy lowered her head and drew circles on the ground with the tips of her shoes: "My dad died." ”
"Sorry to hear that." Chino continued to ask, "You just said, sacrifice, is your father a soldier?" Where are the soldiers? ”
Wendy pursed her lips: "He is the captain of the city defense army of Twilight City, God blessed to die on the 30th, I heard that he died at the hands of visitors from outside the sky." ”
Isn't that my soldier? Chino was puzzled: "I've been eating with you for so long, why didn't you ever tell me about it?" ”
Wendy raised her head, her voice was very well-behaved, and she also carried the longing of a child: "When my father was still alive, he often told me that the kingdom is a towering tree, and he is a leaf, and he will shelter this tree from the wind and rain until he dies. If one day the leaves wither, let him go with the wind, dust to dust, dust to dust, and dust to dust, and not to disturb anyone. ”
Chino was silent for a moment and continued to ask, "Has his pension been delivered to your house by the financial envoy?" 300 Silver Moons, is there anything less? ”
"No less, just 300 pieces, all received."
"That's good."
Wendy rubbed the corners of her clothes a little nervously and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, is my dad a hero?" ”
Is it a hero?
Of course not.
What is a hero? Only by turning the tide and contributing to victory can we be called heroes.
But in front of the reincarnation, an ordinary military commander is just cannon fodder, and Chino doesn't even know how this man died.
Maybe it was when Durang was shooting with a machine gun that he easily shot him to a thousand holes.
Or maybe it was when he faced Wolfe, he was slashed by someone.
Wendy's father's death is insignificant, and the victory has nothing to do with him.
To put it cruelly, it is meaningless to die.
But at this point, Chino still told an inconsequential lie: "Yes, he is a hero." ”
Wendy's smile was shining again, and she jumped up and sat down next to Chino, tilting her head and grinning, "I've had a wish since I was a child!" When I grow up, I want to join the army like my father and become a leaf that protects the big tree~"
Faphora came over with a grilled sausage and gently tapped Wendy's head: "Nonsense again!" Girls just work at home, I'm just a daughter like you, you go to join the army, who will take care of me when the time comes? ”
Wendy grinned, "When I grow up, I can have a husband!" Let my husband work at home, I'll go outside and work hard~"
Chino and Lugo both burst out laughing, and Faphora smiled angrily.
"Don't laugh, I'm serious! My dad used to say that my heart beats hard and I have a very strong heart that is fit to be a fighter! Wendy said, holding Chino's hand and pressing it to her heart, "I don't believe you touch it~"
Chino's hand trembled like an electric shock, and he hurriedly retracted his hand, and his tone became very serious: "Little Wendy, you have to remember that all the clothes on your body are blocked by no one except for your mother, and no one can touch them." Do you understand? ”
Wendy winked innocently: "Why can't you touch it?" Uncle George touches it a lot. ”
Chino frowned: "Who is George?" ”
Favran hugged Wendy softly, and his tone was a little sad: "It's the butcher at 12 Night's Watch Avenue." After my husband died, George used to come to the store... Touching little Wendy... I've gone to the Sheriff's Office to report the case several times, but I haven't been caught, and there is no evidence, hey..."
Chino was expressionless, and glanced sideways at Lugo.
Lugo understood and whistled away.
Chino: "He won't come to touch you again, to be precise, you'll never see this person again." ”
Faphora had already heard the meaning, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled, but he did not dare to speak.
Wendy tilted her head: "Why can't you see it?" Is he going somewhere else? ”
Chino: "Yes, a place where he should be. ”
Fa France hurriedly picked up Wendy and said, "My lord, you eat first, we won't bother." ”
"Well, let's go on business." Chino also began to eat, taking a knife to cut the bread and forking it into his mouth.
People come and go, bustling.
More than ten minutes later, Chino had just finished breakfast, and something strange quietly came.
The sight in front of him exploded into a scarlet, and cold words emerged:
[Validity: Brand of the refuser]
[The invasion will open in 168 hours]
【168:00:00】
【167:59:59】
...
Chino gently wiped the crumbs from the corners of his lips with a napkin, and his eyes were cold.
It's finally here.
After 4 months, the third wave of reincarnation invaded.
"No need to look for it." Chino casually took out a silver moon and put it on the table, looked back at Wendy and Faphore, and said in a deep voice, "Remember, don't talk to strangers lately. ”
