. The so-called loyalty and comrade-in-arms are often not the person who is closest to you and gets along with you frequently every day. That person doesn't have to look extremely loyal, nor does he have to laugh with you or support you when you are at your best, nor does he have to extend his most precious hands when you are at your most difficult.
But he is the one who leaves a deep mark on your life, like the clouds flowing in the sky. If you lose him, you will lose the inherent scenery.
Ron thought of the ancient elf tree in his own space, and heard what Derek and his wife said, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Isn¡¯t that Lanny his closest teammate in White Moon City? He was caught by Zhuo Dong's parents on purpose. For what purpose, Zhuo Dong?
And what are the identities of Derek and Liz?
Ron looked at the magician couple in front of him, and these were the only thoughts in his mind. Perhaps because he was used to hearing shocking and bizarre things recently, Ron seemed a little tired. He didn't know how many more things would happen, but they would jump out at a certain moment, peeling off the veil that Ron was familiar with, revealing its truest side.
That side may be ugly, or wonderful, or as warm as the spring breeze, or as deep and sleepy as the night.
"Captain", Derek, who was accustomed to this title, saw Ron's expression and knew that he was in shock and embarrassment, so he continued: "This information may be difficult to accept, but we must let you know. These things are very important now. It has a very important reference value for you. We have learned about your situation from His Majesty the Sith. Now many major forces in the Magic Continent are staring at you, including the Holy See, the Underground Dragon City and the Magic Guild, as well as There is the mysterious Twilight Organization. These forces we never dared to think about before, but now they are in front of you and me. You may not believe what we and my wife say, but this situation is real."
Derek's word "captain" made Ron's heart move.
He nodded, deeply agreeing with Derek's words: "You and your wife may have other identities and pasts, but about you, I only know about that period in Baiyue City. The behaviors and behaviors you showed at that time Due to my habit, I will never treat you as strangers, let alone treat you with suspicion like enemies."
Derek and Liz stood up and couldn't help but feel very moved: "Captain, we knew you would be like this. But our information must be made clear. This is about Zhuo Dong, Lanni, and even other power."
Ron said: "I already knew a lot before. Zhuo Dong is not a human being. His father Francisco is a strong man from hell of the holy level, and his mother is an angel from the light plane. This is why Zhuo Dong has Because of two completely different fighting spirits. And I joined your team by chance, and also came to White Moon City with you, established a mercenary team, and lived together for three years until we met Martin. Until now, I just realized that you are all people captured by Francis to protect him, and Lanni has other purposes of his own."
Derek put down the scepter in his hand, sighed and said: "Captain, we all knew these things about you. It's just that the three of us had discussed it privately before and didn't want you to be involved in this whirlpool. We just hope After Zhuo Dong comes of age, you can return to your life because you have fulfilled your promise, find your fianc¨¦e, and continue your ordinary and peaceful life. But I didn't expect that things are unpredictable, and Martin's appearance destroyed our life. All imaginations, even Zhuo Dong has lost his trace because of this. If he were not now famous as Twilight's No. 9, we would not even know his whereabouts."
Ron said: "Then you came to find me for these things?"
Derek said: "Captain, you know the general outline of this matter. But don't you doubt that there are many things in it? Why would Francisco find us ordinary people to protect Zhuo Dong? Why would he be in your life? I stayed in the town, got to know you, and trusted you with Zhuo Dong? Why would he also put a magic mark on you?"
Derek¡¯s three ¡°whys¡± were difficult for Ron to explain.
Yes, why? Once the doubts here are revealed, they are all difficult to explain. Why does everything that originally seemed simple become so complicated?
"This is why you came today," Ron said.
Derek and Liz nodded and said, "Captain, we will tell you clearly what's going on here. At the same time, we also have another piece of information that will save you from being so sad."
"You tell me," Ron said.
"Actually, our abilities are not bad.On the contrary, when Liz, Lenny, I, and I met Francisco, we were all level nine fighters. Only after meeting him, he was so powerful that he conquered us and locked our abilities with magic. He only asked us to protect Zhuo Dong until he grew up. He has limited our abilities, and another purpose is not to attract the attention of other forces, because only such a team can avoid the eyes and ears of the major forces all over the Magic Continent. At the same time, as long as Zhuo Dong reaches adulthood, our abilities will be restored. During this process, if Zhuo Dong is fatally injured, our magic mark will also restore our original strength, thereby being able to save Zhuo Dong," Derek said.
"Level nine?" Ron said.
Although he is no longer sensitive to these levels, Derek's words still moved him a little.
"I know Captain, you may no longer be surprised by this ninth-level warrior, but at that time, we all valued it very much. Because at that time, we were all at the peak of the ninth level, and we could all step into the Saint "This is the natural moat," Derek said with excitement in his tone.
"It turns out you have reached this level," Ron said with emotion.
He thought of his original mercenary team and his helpless forging career.
"Another reason why we agreed to Frascisco's semi-threatening agreement is that he also gave us some benefits. He promised that once this agreement can be reached, he will give us some support to advance to the holy level." , Derek said.
Ron nodded. During this period of time, he had seen talented young men like the Holy Son and Ariza, and was even used to seeing many holy beings such as the Pope and Anthony. In addition, he had a deep understanding of the rules from the Holy Grail. The more he understands, he can already understand the desire of cultivators for the holy level.
"As for you, captain, Francisco is interested in your character. After some time of secret observation, he is convinced that you are a person worthy of trust and a person who keeps your promises, so he directed our encounter and finally felt relieved. Let you take Zhuodong away," Derek said.
"Didn't he take my abilities into consideration?" Ron asked worriedly.
¡°With our existence, your ability is no longer a consideration,¡± Derek said.
"Why on that day in Baiyue City, when Zhuo Dong was already poisoned, no one lifted the seal and came forward?" Ron asked.
"If you hadn't taken action, captain, our seal would have been released," Derek said. "Zhuo Dong was poisoned, but his life is not in danger. If Martin's sword stabs Zhuo Dong in the next moment, , that¡¯s when we lifted the seal. But Captain, you didn¡¯t know the inside story, so you risked your life to teleport us out, leaving you to face Martin and the others alone. This is why we and Zhuo Dong are both That¡¯s why I¡¯m so grateful to you. The other three of us stayed here for various practical reasons, except you. The choice we made at this time shocked our hearts the most.¡±
"You praised me too much, and I didn't think much about it at the time. You two wouldn't have any intentions towards Zhuo Dong, but what's going on with Lanny?"
"Actually, Lanny has no actions or thoughts that are detrimental to Zhuo Dong. He even cares about his safety more than any of us or you, the captain," Derek said.
"Is it because of the magic mark?" Ron said.
Derek shook his head and said: "We all have magic marks. Only Captain, your mark disappeared due to your personal reasons, but the marks of our husband, wife and Lanny have always existed to this day. Its effect is the same. Yes, there is no difference. Lanny does not need to look at Zhuo Dong differently because of this. But besides this mark, Lanny also has another important thing, and he wants to find the answer from Zhuo Dong."
"What's that for?" Ron asked aloud.
"His own life experience is that he is a half-elf, but his mother is a human and his father is a pure elf warrior. But he has not seen his father since the day he was born," Derek said.
"But why Zhuo Dong? Does Zhuo Dong have information about Lanny's father?" Ron asked.
Derek nodded and said: "Captain, you are right. It is this Zhuodong, and he has the aura of Lanny's father. Ever since Lanny met Francisco and Zhuodong's family, he discovered this information. So he took advantage of every opportunity and finally got Francisco to notice him and join our team.¡±
"Zhuodong is actually related to Lanni's life experience?" Ron felt that things were getting more and more complicated.?.
¡°It¡¯s not just about life experience,¡± Derek hesitated, and finally said, ¡°I have always suspected that Lanny¡¯s death was also related to Zhuo Dong.¡±
Ron's heart shook suddenly, just like the smoke and dust blown up from his demiplane space, covering his eyes.
