"By the way, how long have you been here?" Meng looked around curiously. When his eyes fell on the bizarre murals, he exclaimed in admiration, "Do you know where this is?"
"I don't know." Sigourney said, "There are only murals here, nothing else."
He asked Meng: "You don't even know where this place is, how did you dig here?"
Meng shrugged. "The Snow Demon's Lair is such a mysterious place. I thought there must be some unknown good things there. The outer area is not interesting, and I dare not go to the core area. I just found a rift in the inner area and dug it based on my feeling."
He said with a hint of pride: "You know, I was born with a connection to treasure. If I keep digging, I will always come across something good. Isn't that how I found you back then?"
Ash: Huh?
Sigourney finally remembered why the hoe looked familiar to him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a hoe digging in front of his eyes. He had to leave a deep impression.
But this was not a good memory. He turned cold and said, "If you are destined to be with the treasure, why are you always so poor that you have no money to eat?"
Meng felt sad again: "Who told everyone not to appreciate the treasures I collected?"
Think about his collection of strange shapes and with unknown purposes. Most of them don't have any magical factors. In the eyes of wizards, they are no different from garbage. Who would appreciate them?
But Sigourney did not say anything to attack Meng again.
In his eyes, everyone's pursuit is meaningful, no matter what they seek, the pursuit itself is worthy of respect, and no one else needs to comment. Especially for someone like him... after killing Rachel, he couldn't find the direction of the future for a while, how could he be qualified to point fingers at people like Mon and Ash?
People who have pursuits are all shining.
He still remembers the vow that the boy made ignorantly but firmly on the astronomical table.
The young man at that time was glowing, like a bright little light source, which generously shone its light on him.
…It made a person like him shine.
No more aimlessness.
He finally became a little interested in the future.
Like he told Ash that night, he would wait and see.
I want to see how far this young man who is favored by the stars can go and what he can achieve.
He laughed sarcastically in his heart, Sigourney, you are also a person with aspirations.
Ash looked at the half-smile on Sigourney's face and couldn't help but reach out and carefully poked Sigourney's cold cheek... He didn't want to see Sigourney with such an expression. Given their current relationship, could he do that?
He thought with some happiness that Sigourney had just admitted it herself.
It turns out that extending the claws is risky, and Ash's face is pinched red by Sigourney, who has come to her senses.
This kind of guy who is getting more and more unreasonable will really cause trouble if he is not taught a lesson!
Just like a little animal cautiously testing the bottom line of the patriarch little by little, once it is indulged carelessly, sooner or later it will climb onto the patriarch's head and act tyrannically and lawless.
Ash saw the faint smile in the vampire's eyes, and even though his mouth was pinched into a duck's mouth, he curved his eyes and revealed shallow dimples.
Oh my god, it’s too shameful to watch.
Singles were hit hard by 120 points.
As expected, there is always someone who can defeat someone else. Sigourney, who once seemed to be isolated from the world, will also be dragged into the world of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness one day.
Although it looked particularly beautiful, Meng shook his head and declined. He still liked the pleasure of traveling around and digging out the dusty history. If he also found such a person and had his own little family, he probably wouldn't be able to wander around without any worries like now, right?
As expected, ruins are his favorite!
Meng pulled himself together and stopped looking at Sigourney and Ash who were having so much fun that they almost forgot about his existence. He walked along the hall under the illumination magic and carefully examined each mural.
He had traveled extensively over the years and had excavated numerous ruins. Compared to Ash, he had a deeper feeling for the magical creatures in these murals.
Some are familiar, some are unfamiliar.
As he looked around, he laughed heartily: "I don't recognize this one, and I still don't recognize that one—the world is so big, and I haven't traveled all over it. Hahahaha!"
Finally, he walked to the wall he had broken. The murals on it were majestic. Even though the magical creatures were just flat paintings, one could still feel their powerful strength and awe-inspiring majesty.
Such a perfect mural was destroyed by his own hands!
Meng's expression changed in a second, and he leaned against the wall in pain: "No, what have I done? How could I have the heart to kill such a beautiful magical creature?"
He has a handsome and mature uncle's face, with a weathered and languid temperament. It is really not suitable for him to have a tearful face, which is particularly eye-catching.
But Ash bravely looked at him and felt that he was really sad, so he kindly diverted his attention: "Uncle Meng, this magical creature is a dragon."
"Dragon?" Meng's eyes lit up. "So this is what a dragon looks like?"
He acted like he had heard of it before, but had never seen it in person.
He suddenly became excited and talked about a lot of things about the dragon race - all of which were fragmentary records he had occasionally seen when excavating ancient ruins. For example, the dragon race has a long lifespan, and the age unit is recorded in tens of thousands. For example, the dragon race is naturally full of elemental affinity, and has unique dragon language magic, and the individual strength is undisputedly the best in the continent. For example, the only disadvantage of the dragon race is that it is difficult to reproduce and the number is small, otherwise they would have dominated the entire continent long ago...
Ash got a general idea of the dragon clan, which Sigourney said "there's no need to know too much about".
Meng asked Ash excitedly, "Where did you see the record? Can you lend it to me to have a look? How come none of these powerful creatures survived until now?"
Sigourney spoke directly: "I told him."
Meng: “Then…”
Sigourney: "I don't know as much as you do."
Meng sighed in disappointment. Well, regarding the ancient history, the only fragments that have survived to this day are so tiny that it can't be any smaller. To be able to recognize the appearance of a dragon, one has to be extremely knowledgeable.
After a long while, he came out of his disappointment and suddenly reacted.
"Wait! Ash, what did you just call me?"
Ash blinked, "Uncle Meng? Isn't that right?" He feels like a mature adult like Uncle Derek and Uncle Vann.
Meng felt sad: “…” Is he so old already?
Sigourney didn't care about his devastated heart at all and curled her lips: "No problem. Just call me that."
Meng: “…” If he wasn’t going to be struck by lightning for destroying someone’s relationship, he would definitely ask Sigourney’s age in front of the young boy.
Meng, who thought he was broad-minded, quickly put aside his sadness. He looked around again, admiring and regretful: "It seems that there is nothing to dig here - hey, let's go. You guys leave with me, right?"
The tunnel he dug led directly to the surface, so Sigourney and Ash naturally went out with him.
Sigourney nodded: "I have something to tell you after we get out."
Meng touched his chin and smiled: "Do you have anything to ask of me?"
Sigourney glanced at him, and without waiting to go out, she simply said here: "Rachel's wizard tower, do you want to make some money?"
Meng obviously knew Rachel, his eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
Sigourney curled her lips coldly, pulled Ash over, and walked towards the broken wall: "Let's talk outside."
This time it was Meng's turn to be anxious and ask for help.
Although Rachel was a ruthless lunatic, she was obsessed with ancient magic and collected a lot of ancient books and documents, which coincided with Meng's hobby of history. God knows how many times he wanted to rob secretly, but due to Rachel's madness and the gray robe that was one level higher than him, he did not act.
Now Sigourney actually mentioned Rachel's wizard tower with such a fearless and at ease attitude. Could it be that he was sure that Rachel was not at home recently, or... Rachel was already gone?
Oh, isn’t that a great time to pick up a bargain?
Meng's heart began to beat with excitement. He followed Ash and the others in big strides, entered the dug tunnel, and urged them impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Why not be more proactive when it comes to getting a bargain?
As Meng urged him, Ash recalled the strange old man who had broken into Duogu Village with malicious intent. It was that man who first brought magic to him, it was that man who led Lord Nance and Signy to him, and it was that man who made him and Signy form an inseparable contract...
Rachel's appearance seemed to be the prelude to turmoil in Broken River Plain.
It was also very impressive in Ash's memory.
Why did Sigourney think of going to Rachel's wizard tower?
It's been several months, how come you suddenly thought of it?
Sigourney seemed to know what he was thinking, and whispered, "Feel your arm for yourself," and said no more.
arm?
A contract... related to Sigourney? A leaf mark?
Ash suddenly reacted and immediately concentrated to feel it carefully.
It seems, there are some changes?
He looked at Sigourney's back uncertainly. Through this mark, he seemed to be able to clearly feel Sigourney's presence.
Without even looking with his eyes, he knew clearly in his heart that Sigourney was right in front of him.
Has the functionality of the contract been increased?
Why did it increase?
——Of course, it was because he drank Ash's blood.
Sigourney discovered the change in the contract shortly thereafter.
But Ash was so disturbed by the blood being sucked that he ignored the changes in the contract on his arm.
So I have to go to Rachel's wizard tower.
It is necessary to clarify what kind of contract this is.
It's not about releasing it, but about keeping a firm grasp on all changes and situations.
After all, it was...the contract that linked him and Ash.
