Chapter 37 Brother (500 Nutrient Solution Plus)
…
Chris rubbed his rabbit ears and felt as if there were eight hundred flies buzzing around his ears.
His rabbit ears were about to burst from the noise, but Thor kept talking on and on.
Chris clenched his fists and repeatedly told himself that Thor had been holding it in for too long, and he couldn't blame him, he couldn't blame him -
He is still a little wolf.
Go to your little wolf! Little wolves need to be disciplined!
His patience is limited!
At most he could tolerate Thor for ten more minutes, no, five minutes!
Chris pinched his bunny ears and turned his back to Thor.
Thor, who was talking excitedly with Xia, didn't notice Chris's actions at all.
His hands tugged at the hem of Xia's clothes and he shook unconsciously.
"Xiaxia, I really miss you so much..."
Xia smiled and said, "We are not far away. If you miss me, you can come to see me anytime."
Looking for him?
I guess Xia doesn't care at all, so how could she know whether he went to find him or not?
Thor's hands froze slightly, but he soon continued shaking as if nothing had happened.
"I'm just afraid of disturbing your studies! I often hear Xia's name in Bryside... It must be very hard for you, right?"
Thor reached out and gently touched the red rope on Xia's hand.
How ironic—
The red rope that he cherished so much was burned to ashes by Lu Yi, while the red rope that Xia didn't care about remained intact from beginning to end.
It's absurd and ironic yet a bit ridiculous.
Aren’t things that come easily worth cherishing?
He's like a joke.
What's even more terrifying is that he was willing to be the laughing stock.
Thor looked up into Thea's blue eyes.
Xia looked at him with a shy smile and said, "Is it hard? Actually, it's not that hard. Everyone is working hard, and I don't want to be left behind."
So he could be left behind? Thor thought absentmindedly.
"I believe Xia will achieve remarkable success in the future!" Thor said.
"Hey, how can we predict the future now?"
"That's right," Thor said. "Everything that will happen in the future can be found in the present."
As he spoke, Thor touched the red rope on Xia's wrist again.
"Just like this red rope, I cherished it so much and carried it with me, but in the end, wasn't it still burned by Lu Yi?" Thor paused.
"But since my red string was burned and yours is still fine, Xia can always carry my good luck."
Xia blinked and said bluntly, "Your red string was burned by Lu Yi? Did you go to provoke my brother Lu Yi?!"
Thor's expression froze, and he stammered, "...Uh, this was actually an accident. I can explain it."
Xia looked at him, "Then explain it."
Saul was speechless.
"You can't explain it!" Xia looked helpless, "I told you not to provoke Brother Lu Yi."
"I've been with him for so long, and I have a general understanding of his character. Brother Lu Yi is a vengeful person. If you provoke him, he will never let you go." Xia said seriously.
"Did he hit you? Was it badly hurt?"
After scolding Thor, Xia showed concern for him naturally.
Seeing his worried look, Thor forgot his sadness and said with a silly smile: "It's okay, I'm fine. Don't you know me?! The vicious Lu Yi can't beat me at all!"
Xia looked at him helplessly.
"...Okay, I did get beaten, but the injuries weren't serious. The biggest loss was just the little red rope."
Thor said it lightly, but the loss and sadness in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
Xia patted his head and was about to say something.
But Chris behind him suddenly interrupted, holding his chest and said, "Have you finished catching up, you two? It's time to leave."
God knows he didn't want to bring these two burdens with him.
After all, he was representing the conservatives to negotiate and get the goods, so it made no difference whether several people went or one person went.
Two more people means two more risks.
But after being pestered by Thor several times, Chris changed his mind.
Even though he has undergone tremendous changes, the little prince is still essentially a simple and stupid little wolf.
It's not a bad idea to take him out to see the world. Nothing will go wrong with him watching over you.
As for West Asia——
The Klein family and the Holy See behind him might be able to help him.
Even if I can't do anything substantial, it would be good to just use Xia's blonde hair and blue eyes to scare people!
Taking them out will do more good than harm.
After all, he was the only one who suffered temporarily, but the entire conservative group benefited.
Chris stared at the two of them resentfully.
Perhaps it was because the resentment in him was too obvious, so the two of them had no choice but to follow him like little quails.
Xia tugged at Thor's cloak and whispered, "Don't be sad. It's not a big deal that the red rope was burned. I'll weave you another one that looks better, okay?"
"I want the same one you have!"
"Then you have to teach me how to make this up..."
"good!"
Thor was coaxed by him and immediately smiled.
…
The three men walked into the box wearing cloaks and masks.
There were already two masked mercenaries sitting in the box.
The two men sat opposite each other, with two empty seats on each side.
The bald man at the end was so tall that even when he was sitting on a low stool he stood out like a mountain of flesh.
The man sitting at the head had gray hair and red eyes. His mask covered the upper half of his face, leaving only the rather sexy lower half exposed.
Although he had never met any man with gray hair and red eyes, Kexia inexplicably felt that this man was somewhat familiar.
He sat down next to the gray-haired man.
Thor originally wanted to sit down next to Xia, but after he took two steps, he was pulled by Chris and sat down on the other side of the gray-haired man.
Several people sat down.
The three of them took off their hoods, revealing Xia's golden curly hair.
The bald man couldn't help but take a few more glances at his blond hair.
"Did you bring the stuff?" Chris asked.
"Of course." said the bald man.
He pushed the small potion bottle in his hand onto the table and placed an ownerless space ring next to it.
"The quality will not be worse than the sample I gave you last time, it will be better. I didn't charge you more because I was kind-hearted."
Chris said nothing, picked up the medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper and put it under his nose to sniff.
The orc's five senses are sharp, and he can smell that what these mercenaries gave him is genuine.
Chris reached out to take the space ring.
But his hand was held down by the bald man.
"Rabbit man, pay the money and get the goods."
Chris threw the ring in his hand to the bald man.
The bald man took the space ring and glanced at the gold coins piled up in the ring space.
It's a little more than the originally agreed amount.
Become rich!
After getting the gold coins, the bald man immediately let go of the hand that was pressing on Chris with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to work with you. You are really great~"
Chris nodded and was about to stand up and leave.
But the gray-haired man who had been sitting silently at the head finally spoke.
"Sir, we have something better. Do you want to see it?"
The gray-haired man's voice was abnormally hoarse, as if he had used some drug to change his voice.
Chris narrowed his eyes and his bunny ears twitched.
"I'd like to hear more about it."
The grey-haired man placed a mini potion on the table.
"pod230, the newest magic-banning potion on the market, there is no antidote yet."
Chris paused, then slowly sat down again.
"Sometimes it is faster to directly solve the source of the problem rather than going to great lengths to resolve all conflicts and problems." The gray-haired man said with a raised eyebrow.
"I thought you might be interested in this stuff, so I took the initiative to get a bottle of imitation sample."
"Imitation?" Chris asked doubtfully.
"The original version can disable for at least thirty minutes, while the replica version can only be effective for three minutes."
Thirty minutes is enough to kill a beastman who has lost his magic power a hundred times.
This is an incredibly crazy idea.
But Chris had to admit that he was moved.
Disagreement? Why is there disagreement?
Because there is a source behind the scenes that is pushing the differences to become more and more intense.
Killing the source can indeed solve everything.
There is no need to consider those complicated situations anymore, and we can quickly and easily stabilize the current chaotic situation of the Orcs.
Although the risk is huge, the rewards once successful are enormous.
"…I need to think about it for a few days."
Chris pushed open the box door expressionlessly.
…
"Come in."
Astor pushed open the door and saw Duke Klein sitting on the sofa.
Astor stood in front of his desk, "Father, you called me?"
Duke Klein raised his head and pointed to the chair in front of him, saying, "Sit down first."
"No, father, I want to stand for a while." Astor shook his head.
Seeing Astor say this, Duke Klein did not force him to sit down.
He poured Astor a glass of water and pushed it in front of him.
"There's nothing wrong with asking you to come here."
Astor picked up the light blue ceramic teacup.
He recognized this set of teacups; it was the one Lu Yi gave to Duke Klein when he left.
Astor knew that before Lu Yi left home for Braceside, he had specially found a craftsman to learn how to fire porcelain.
He struggled for nearly half a month before finally making three sets of teacups that he was satisfied with.
Of the three sets of teacups, one light blue set was given to Duke Klein, and one light red set was given to Zorn.
Astor got a set of bluish-white jade-colored ones.
When Lu Yi gave him the teacups, he proudly told him that this set of jade-green porcelain cups was the best one he had ever made, and he was extremely satisfied with both the lacquer color, glaze and fine veins.
Astor accepted the teacups calmly, then carefully kept the set of teacups.
That set of jade-colored teacups is still hidden in the secret compartment under his bed.
"...What? Are you missing your brother?" Duke Klein raised his eyebrows.
Astor said nothing.
But such silence was a tacit agreement for the introverted Astor.
Duke Klein said sarcastically, "What a loser! Ten years ago when I was studying at the Knight Academy, I was secretly crying and I thought I didn't know. Ten years later, I still look so sullen and have not made any progress. Can't I survive without my brother?"
Astor looked at him expressionlessly and whispered, "I can't survive."
Lu Yi is ten years younger than him and is the child he raised.
He has lived for only more than thirty years, and two-thirds of his life has been occupied by Lu Yi's presence.
The past twenty years have been the period of fastest development for the Klein family. Duke Klein has been traveling all year round, and his absence from Lu Yi's growth is not a short period of time. This is also one of the reasons why he dotes on Lu Yi so much.
I always feel guilty and can't help but spoil my child a little more.
Lu Yi was spoiled and became arrogant because of this. If it weren't for Aster who was watching him all the time, I'm afraid he would really grow up astray.
Mrs. Klein was a typical arrogant aristocratic lady. Although she truly loved her children, she was unwilling to take care of the crying baby herself.
In addition, Lu Yi always cried when he was young. Even if she held Lu Yi and comforted him softly, Lu Yi would still cry and would not get close to her at all.
If Lu Yi didn't have blond hair and blue eyes, Mrs. Klein would have suspected that Lu Yi was not her biological son.
The relationship between her and Lu Yi is more like something that was slowly developed as Lu Yi grew up, rather than an innate blood bond.
After all, Lu Yi had been handsome since he was a child. Mrs. Klein was very proud to have given birth to such an angelic child, and her love for Lu Yi became more genuine.
But before that, little Lu Yi, who could only cry, had only Astor by his side.
The teenaged Astor clumsily held the crying Lu Yi in his arms, and used a pinched voice to coax him gently and patiently.
This is his younger brother, his only younger brother.
Even though his arms were sore and weak, Astor refused to put Lu Yi down.
His hands gently patted Lu Yi's little back, and Lu Yi miraculously stopped crying in his arms.
And this shoot lasted ten years.
In the tenth year, Astor decided to go to the Empire's First Knight Academy for further studies because he did not awaken his talent.
In the past ten years, he had never been separated from Lu Yi for such a long time.
That day, he pinched the space ring and turned around to leave Klein Manor. Little Lu Yi cried heartbreakingly.
It wasn't noticeable on Astor's face, but there was a big red spot at the corner of his eye.
This was the tenth year, and it was the first time that he understood clearly what the word "brother" meant to him.
Ten years, and another ten years.
Lu Yi no longer needed his constant care, and he no longer knocked on Astor's door with a pillow as big as his own because he was afraid of sleeping alone at night.
But he seemed to still be thinking that "Lu Yi needs him".
——Will you not be able to survive without your brother around?
——Yes, Lu Yi has melted into his flesh and blood and can no longer be separated from his body.
Even if the spine is broken and the flesh is torn, it still cannot stop.
Astor drank the water in the teacup and calmly replied to Duke Klein: "Father, why did you suddenly think of changing the teacups? I remember that your previous set of teacups was your favorite. You have been using it for more than ten years, right?"
In this manor, he is not the only one who misses Lu Yi.
Duke Klein coughed twice to cover up the problem, and said stubbornly, "Is it not okay if I suddenly want to change it?"
Astor smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."
Duke Klein snorted and said sarcastically, "You little brat, I called you here for a good purpose, but you've already got me into a bunch of sarcastic nonsense before I've even done anything."
"Now who can tell whether you are my father or I am your father?"
Astor was too lazy to refute Duke Klein's confusing words.
"What is it, Father?" he asked bluntly.
Duke Klein deliberately tilted his head and glanced at him, saying, "It's nothing, it's just that some things require me to go to the Orc Forest. But I see that you don't seem very willing to do so, so I might as well go by myself.
"I can go to Bryside to see Lu Yi when I pass by Katelila. It seems that Bryside is holding a freshman competition recently. I wonder how Lu Yi is doing..."
Astor's eyes lit up.
