The desert night was cold enough to make one shiver.
The Steel Lord sat by the fire as he looked at the trembling little girl that Ishak had brought over.
The girl's face was full of fear. Two streaks of tears slid down her dirty little face, forming a clean line.
She looked to be only eight or nine years old. Her body was scrawny and she had a broken arm. She had no tongue and could not speak.
"Are you afraid of death?" Bavaria asked calmly.
The girl looked at him with her eyes wide open as if she did not understand.
"Forget it." Bavaria could not be bothered to ask more. He was a noble of Blackfeather City, the head of a family that had been around for centuries. He had seen too many tragedies like this.
If not for the girl's eyes, which were very similar to his son's, if not for the Lord's orders …
"War …" Bavaria looked at the burning bonfire as if he had returned to the first time he entered the battlefield.
People in the midst of war yearned for hope the most. Those who could survive had strong willpower.
That was why the Steel Lord had chosen this place to build a sub-temple.
"Sleep …" For some reason, whenever he saw the little girl, he would be reminded of his son's memories.
…
…
Lin Sheng slowly woke up from his dream as his consciousness returned to his body.
In the dark dormitory, the other three were all asleep, their even snores rising and falling one after another.
Lin Sheng got up from the bed and saw his phone flashing. He knew that there was a message or a missed call.
He flipped the phone open.
One from Adolf and one from Maier. There was also a message from Maier.
Lin Sheng opened it and glanced at it.
Maier: "Celine's people are here. They're looking for you. They've found your parents' shop. "
"Hmm?"
Lin Sheng frowned. Other than a few people, very few people knew where his family had migrated to.
He looked at the time of the message.
It was sent at 11: 30 last night. It was now 5: 21 the next day.
After some thought, Lin Sheng replied.
"Do you know who they are?"
"No, but they know your family very well." Maier was obviously working the night shift again.
"Arrange a meeting for me," Lin Sheng replied quickly.
'Good. I'll see you at Aladdin's, 'Maier replied.
"Alright."
Lin Sheng closed the phone interface. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and casually combed his hair. It was fine as long as it was not too messy. Finally, he picked up the key and quietly left the dormitory.
It's only a fifteen-minute walk from the school to Aladdin's Pancake Shop.
It was obvious that Maier had considered Lin Sheng's walking distance, which was why he had arranged such a close location.
Early in the morning, the sky had just brightened.
Ma Yi, Lin Sheng, and another bald man met at the entrance of the pancake shop. Ma Yi invited them into the restaurant and asked for a small private room.
"This pancake shop is very interesting. It requires its customers to bake it themselves. The heat, taste, and shape are all up to you. "Ma Yi sat on the main seat and smiled at the two people beside him.
"Mr. Xiao Weiqi, feel free, feel free. Lin Sheng is free too. "He gestured for them to roast on their own.
"You guys talk, I'm going out for a smoke." Ma Yi was very understanding and left first. Only the two of them were left in the private room.
Lin Sheng sat on his seat and looked at the bald man across from him.
He was a typical Celine man. Dark eyes, thin, a high nose bridge, and a slightly tucked chin.
"Mr. Lin Sheng?" The bald man, Xiao Weiqi, dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and trousers, sat upright in front of Lin Sheng, and spoke solemnly.
"Yes. What's the matter? "Lin Sheng said lightly.
Xiao Weiqi smiled.
"Mr. Lin Sheng's family moving to Xylond is indeed a good choice. However, do you really think that you'll be safe after you move here? Are your family and loved ones safe? "
"What do you mean?" Lin Sheng stared at him.
"I, Xiao Weiqi, am here representing the Heart of the Ocean to formally invite Mr. Lin Sheng." Xiao Weiqi smiled. "I hope Mr. Lin can return to your country and lend a hand."
"Impossible." Lin Sheng said lightly. "I don't know anything about the Heart of the Ocean, and I don't know why you've come to me. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. "
"Mr. Lin, you can't be so absolute." Xiao Weiqi continued. "You were born in Celine, and grew up in Celine. There are still many ties to you there. "
"What are you trying to say?" Lin Sheng frowned.
"We've successfully rescued your loved ones, and the lady who helped you come to Xylond, and sent them to a safer place." Xiao Weiqi continued.
"What do you want?" Lin Sheng's expression didn't change as he asked in a low voice.
"The higher-ups of the Heart of the Ocean hope that you can persuade your teacher to help us.
Also, you need to record the complete set of Saint Power cultivation method and send it back to the country.
Third, you need to transfer one million to our designated account every month. "
He reached out and patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder.
"As long as you can do these three things, not only will we not touch your loved ones, we will even take good care of them."
"Looks like the country is going crazy …"
Lin Sheng said calmly as he looked at Xiao Weiqi's slightly deranged expression.
"Crazy?" Xiao Weiqi laughed as he downed his cup of tea. "Yesterday, Redwin had taken nine cities. Cannon fire rained down, and the Heart of the Ocean had lost hundreds. What do we have to fear now? "
Lin Sheng did not say a word as he drank cup after cup of tea.
"What's your decision?" Xiao Weiqi smiled.
Lin Sheng did not reply as he placed the empty cup on the table.
* Hiss … *
He turned the cup upside down and gently pushed it towards Xiao Weiqi.
"When the cup is turned upside down, it is no longer a cup."
"And when the cup loses its original ability. What we need to do is to crush it … "
"So, what are you trying to say?" Xiao Weiqi's smile slowly faded.
"Don't you think … you, and I, are like this cup?"
Through the clean glass, Lin Sheng's eyes began to glow with a golden hue.
"You …!!?" Xiao Weiqi suddenly came to his senses as he stumbled out of the room.
Inside the room, only Lin Sheng was left sitting there quietly, his hand on the cup, not saying a word.
Time passed.
"Is it really okay?" Maier pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Lin Sheng worriedly.
"They will forgive me."
Lin Sheng's expression was calm.
"Furthermore, do you think I have completely cut myself off from the country?"
"Then this person …" Maier heaved a sigh of relief.
"One, two, three, three, two, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven …" A cute little girl's laughter could be heard from the street opposite the shop.
Maier subconsciously turned to look. Across the street, a beautiful little girl in a white dress and white stockings was playing with her little leather shoes.
For some reason, he felt that the little girl looked familiar.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
He saw … that the little girl was fiddling with a string of metal keys that had been hanging on Xiao Weiqi's body moments ago.
