Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Aquaman Dad 12
9972 repeated the contents of the contract between Cheng Su and the Knight Commander in Zhuozhuo's mind, breaking it down word by word, making sure Zhuozhuo understood his intentions.
[Baby, don't help him! Fight him!]
Zhuozhuo was also frightened by Cheng Su. He stared at him and was about to speak, but Cheng Su quickly picked him up and carried him away.
A soundproof magic barrier enveloped the two of them. Cheng Su placed Zhuo Zhuo on the ground and bowed to her with his hands clasped together. "Good Zhuo Zhuo, I was wrong. But this is a mistake I made before. Can you please not scold me so harshly? Besides, although I made a mistake in the contract, Caroline and the others really need help now. I provide help and ask for compensation. There is no problem, right?"
Zhuozhuo thought about it for a moment and nodded seriously, "Yes."
Cheng Su breathed a sigh of relief. "But I signed a contract with the Knight Commander that forbids me from taking anything from the temple ruins, so I can only ask you to help me get it. That's no problem, right?"
Zhuozhuo thought seriously for a while longer, then nodded reluctantly, "Yes."
"So it was reasonable for me to take that sword. Zhuozhuo, you shouldn't have glared at me and were ready to get angry at me."
“…”
[……]
Everyone was silent. They knew that this was Cheng Su's sophistry, but it actually made some sense.
Zhuozhuo hesitated and said, "I'm sorry?"
But she quickly realized, "You could ask for something else, why did you have to take the sword? Besides, if you wanted it, you could just ask directly. Why lie?"
The situation reversed, and 9972 cheered for Zhuozhuo.
Cheng Su and Zhuo Zhuo looked at each other, and after three seconds, Cheng Su suddenly said in a coquettish tone: "But I just want that sword."
shining:"……"
[yue!]
Zhuozhuo shuddered involuntarily, as if she had been attacked by Cheng Su's magic. She opened her mouth and spoke after a while, "Cheng Su, don't talk like that just now."
"You have to promise me first." Cheng Su was as thick-skinned as a city wall and took the opportunity to negotiate conditions.
"You swear and promise not to do that again." The little guy was very serious, as if it was a matter of life and death!
Cheng Su couldn't help but laugh, feeling guilty for torturing a child. He raised his hand and swore seriously, "I will never speak to Zhuo Zhuo in that tone again, or I will be struck by lightning."
Zhuozhuo didn't quite trust Tianlei, so he said cautiously, "Change it to turning into a seahorse and giving birth to a child."
Cheng Su: “…Okay.”
[Baby, have Cheng Su add 'similar tones cannot be used', otherwise this oath will be useless. After all, no one would speak with the same expression and tone twice. He can just say it casually.]
Zhuozhuo quickly adopted all the opinions and asked Cheng Su to add that sentence.
After changing the price and adding restrictions, Cheng Su swore anew. Zhuo Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glared at Cheng Su for a moment, sighed, and said in a doting tone, "I really can't do anything about you," "Then I'll help you."
"Thanks."
Cheng Su finally felt his face flushing and was unable to raise his head.
After a few words with Cheng Su, Zhuo Zhuo felt even more mature. She led her slightly autistic father towards Caroline and said maturely and steadily, "Sister Kaka, can you give me the sword? Tell Cheng Su the conditions."
Cheng Su cheered up and looked at Caroline with a smile, planning his strategy.
Caroline: “?”
This father and daughter?
However, Caroline had no desire for the sword. She believed that worldly peace required checks and balances among all parties, so a single sacred artifact that could dominate all others could not exist on the Western Fantasy Continent. However, the sacred artifact was of immense significance and power, so it was impossible to give it to anyone who wanted it.
Caroline scrutinized Cheng Su, finally realizing he wasn't as harmless as he appeared. Perhaps their initial encounter was all part of his plan. Her eyes were sharp, revealing the majesty of a superior saint. "What reasons do you have to convince me?"
The Knight Commander, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, warned, "If you have any evil thoughts, the entire Paladin Order will fight to the death to stop you."
Cheng Su chuckled softly. His original plan had been to pick up the slack after the Saint and the orc priests had both suffered heavy losses. But now with Zhuo Zhuo, if he dared to stand by and watch them fight, Zhuo Zhuo would surely make him understand why the flowers were so red. So, facing the Saint's question, Cheng Su wanted to answer, but he couldn't think of a satisfactory answer.
After all, he wanted to obtain the divine sword just to improve his strength and make it easier for him to stir up trouble.
As Cheng Su fell silent, Caroline's expression became more and more alert, and she had unconsciously assumed the posture of "snatching Zhuo Zhuo away and letting the Knights besiege Cheng Su."
Zhuozhuo understood the situation and thought Cheng Su was useless, unable to speak, and still had to rely on her. She said softly, "Sister Kaka, Cheng Su won't use the magic sword to do bad things, because I will throw the magic sword into the abyss and let the fire in the earth's core burn it out."
Caroline: “…”
Absolutely.
Cheng Su: “…”
He winked at Zhuozhuo frantically. Didn’t they agree that “he wanted this sword”? Why did he want to destroy it?
Zhuozhu looked back innocently. She only agreed to take the sword out, but did not say to give it to Cheng Su after bringing it back.
9972 was impressed. [Baby is really smart. Who can say this solution is bad? Besides, no one has ever tried throwing the sword into the core of the earth. Maybe the gods' supplies will have some magical effects.]
As a saint, Caroline had obviously heard of the Abyss and the Earth's Core Fire, and she agreed to the plan almost immediately. However, she was very worried about Cheng Su and said, "You must sign a contract with me. You cannot steal, deceive, or otherwise get the sword from Zhuo Zhuo. Otherwise, you will be hated by the elemental spirits and will be unable to practice for the rest of your life."
Cheng Su: “…”
Although the price of breaking the contract was terrible, it was nothing to him because he had special training skills. The reason he didn't immediately agree to Caroline was because there was Zhuo Zhuo staring at him with his bright eyes.
As long as he signed the contract, Zhuozhuo would force him to comply in his own way.
But if he doesn’t sign... the way Zhuozhuo looks at him now makes him want to hit someone.
Sign it, sign it. The Sword of Light isn't the only holy weapon on the Western Fantasy Continent. Although other holy weapons are extremely difficult to obtain, he can't always make Zhuo Zhuo unhappy and distrust her, right?
Cheng Su looked at Caroline and said firmly, "Okay."
Caroline's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. "I knew it, Angus. Although you have selfish motives, you are not a bad person. You can do it."
Zhuozhuo was bewildered, and asked all the questions in his mind, "What's wrong with Sister Kaka? It's as if Cheng Su wants to be the savior."
[…Maybe Cheng Su didn't completely lose his character in front of Caroline, and Caroline was just happy for herself.]
"Huh? I don't understand."
[Baby doesn’t need to understand.]
Zhuozhuo said "Oh", his eyes swept across the fierce battlefield, and threw the small ball of light in his hand out with a "whoosh", and even 9972 didn't react.
[……Baby! ]
[Forget it, since Cheng Su is here to protect you now, just do whatever you want. Just be happy.]
Zhuozhuo was feeling guilty about throwing the light ball, but was very surprised to hear this, "Great!"
With a sweet cheer, Zhuozhuo began to roll the small balls of light as fast as she could, throwing them one by one. She was experienced in throwing balls, and her accuracy had been practiced for a long time. Every ball she threw hit the orcs' heads.
bang! bang! bang!
The orcs were dizzy from the explosion, with little stars circling in front of their eyes. The knights who were fighting took the opportunity to beat them up.
The tense battle was decided in an instant. Zhuozhuo was jumping for joy. Suddenly, she looked up as if she realized something and saw a fierce gaze falling on her from behind the golden coffin.
Zhuozhuo was surprised. "The person in the coffin crawled out? Are you a god?"
Caroline and Cheng Su looked over when they heard this. Cheng Su's pupils shrank, "Zhao Zhuo, come here!"
That wasn't the God of Light emerging from the coffin; it was the Orc priestess Audrey, whose original form was a giant, poisonous spider. She had been invisible on the battlefield, and Caroline had been keeping her from fully assisting the Knights. Unexpectedly, she had quietly approached the coffin, apparently intending to take the sword.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Seeing Zhuozhuo easily kill his tribesmen in seconds, Audrey couldn't control her burning eyes, which attracted Zhuozhuo's attention.
Zhuozhuo was small but had a loud voice, and his roar attracted everyone's attention to Audrey.
Audrey's hiding place has been exposed, and no one will watch her take away the sword. A group of people, led by Caroline and Cheng Su, rushed forward and launched a dazzling attack at her.
Cheng Su, worthy of being a father, cast three protective spells on Zhuozhuo during such a crucial moment in the fight and moved her to the back, the safest position. He shouted, "Zhuozhuo, don't run around. Wait for me there! If you run around, I'll hug you and cry. Please!"
Everyone: “…”
The Knight Commander couldn't help but say, "Angus, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, your relationship with Zhuozhuo would have undergone such a...dramatic change."
Cheng Su, who showed no fatherly authority in front of Zhuo Zhuo, remained calm. "Only sufficient interests can drive change. As long as the child is obedient, parents can make some small sacrifices."
Everyone who heard this was in awe.
Zhuozhuo watched the fierce battle near the coffin from afar, spinning in circles, hesitant to move forward. He was very embarrassed and asked 9972 for help. [Zhuozhuo wanted to help fight, how could he not make Cheng Su cry?]
The little girl didn't understand social embarrassment yet, but she instinctively didn't want Cheng Su to drag her down with him. Just thinking about that scene made her feel a little uneasy.
[…I don’t think I can stop him. Baby, Cheng Su now knows your weakness. Unless you overcome it yourself, he will definitely use it again and again to make you obey him.]
Zhuozhuo: “Woo…”
[You can cry with him, but he will definitely not cry as hard as you.]
"No way!"
Zhuozhuo couldn't do anything about the shameless version of Cheng Su for the time being, so he had to listen to him and wait for him to come back from the fight. But when he saw Audrey transform back into her original giant spider under the siege of everyone, the little guy's face turned pale.
Don't worry, baby. The Orc priestess Audrey is on par with the Saint. She's definitely no match for so many people attacking her. As long as Cheng Su is careful not to fall into traps, he'll be back soon...
"Ah! Cheng Su and the big spider fell into the coffin!"
Zhuozhuo screamed and rushed over, and in the blink of an eye she arrived at the coffin. She was not tall enough, so she simply climbed up like a monkey holding on to the person, and successfully saw the scene inside the coffin.
Empty.
"Cheng Su! Daddy! Did the big spider eat you? Wuuwuwu..."
