There were a lot fewer people at the table for dinner that day. Apart from the disappearance of Ezio, the two girls also didn't go home for dinner in order to find the chubby boy who ran away from home.
The drizzle outside had been falling all day, but it didn't bring any coolness to the summer night. Instead, it was much hotter. Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere at the table, but after all, most people were still worried about the chubby boy.
It wasn't until after dinner when everyone took a short break to digest the food that the girls came back in a sorry state.
Although there was a spell to avoid the rain in the application of magic. The Authority Energy that the two girls had stored up was enough for them to cast this spell the entire time, allowing them to avoid getting wet. However, the splashes of mud on the ground had to flow into the streets and alleys according to the child's size, so it was inevitable that there would be places that they couldn't take care of and get dirty. Plus, they had been searching for half a day, so the fatigue was even more difficult for others to understand.
In the small parlor, the old black dragon, who rarely appeared, was calmly staring at a certain Magician. And behind the old black dragon, another chubby boy was hiding, Vana's son, Kish. At this moment, he looked like he was about to cry. He was just short of opening his mouth and begging for mercy for his reckless companion of the same age.
And as soon as the two girls came back, they gave their teacher a dirty look. What a certain person doesn't see, can't grieve over these vexing matters. Lin's temperament had reached the level of numbness, comparable to that of a person in a vegetative state.
Unfortunately, a certain someone might be able to endure it, but how could the people giving him dirty looks? Halloumi took the lead and said, "Teacher, we searched all day and couldn't find Ezio. What if he gets hungry or cold outside? "
"That boy is so fat, he won't die even if he starves for two days. Besides, he has so much fat, and it's summer now, he can just take the rain as a relief. How can he get cold? "A certain someone said heartlessly.
Halloumi asked, "You're really not worried at all?"
The teacher looked at his apprentice helplessly and asked, "What should I be worried about? He's going to harm others. "
The blonde girl was speechless. After a while, she said again, "He's just a child. How are you going to survive alone outside?! "
"You just don't believe how resilient a child can be," A certain someone criticized disdainfully.
She remembered that before she transmigrated, she would always see children left at home by their irresponsible parents, causing them to starve to death or meet with other accidents. In fact, it wasn't that children didn't have any survival instincts at all. They were just bound by family ties and very naively believed that their parents would take care of them, so they didn't dare to do anything that was forbidden.
This was just like what was mentioned in the Investiture of the Gods. When King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, was ruling Xiqi, King Wen drew a circle on the ground to make Wu Ji atone for his crime because he killed someone. It wasn't that the children didn't know how to survive, it was just that they were surrounded by many restrictions by their parents.
Don't you see those orphans who have lost their parents growing up alone in the wild? Not to mention what achievements they would have in the future, or how smooth their growth process would be, nine out of ten of them would have no problem growing up. The remaining one didn't grow up because he was weak and sickly. Even if he had parents to take care of him, he probably wouldn't be able to grow up.
Why would some human traffickers look for children? Wasn't it because children were highly malleable, easy to deceive, and easy to manipulate? That's why they abducted children to do some shady things. Even if they were sold to others, with the children's resilience, they would adapt to the new environment and recognize new parents in the shortest time possible.
Not to mention that the little fatty's activeness could turn this family upside down. After going out and letting go of himself, unless he was really blind and bumped into the blades of those real powerhouses, what difficulty would there be if he just wanted to survive? It was just that he hadn't let go of his own thoughts. It was just like the transformation of the protagonist before and after his downfall in Stephen Chow's movie, Su Qinger.
Of course, under such circumstances, it was definitely unrealistic to expect him to be a good youth when he grew up. It would be funny if he didn't have all the five poisons, specializing in burning, killing, robbing, and committing all kinds of crimes.
However, before these words could be fully explained to the two girls, they looked at a certain someone with tears in their eyes. Perhaps it was the carefree attitude in his words that resonated with the two magic apprentices who had followed a certain someone since they were young, and they actually became sentimental.
Helpless, a certain someone could only say, "And don't forget, as long as Ezio doesn't throw away that ring, it's really not easy for him to get lost."
Back then, after the set of rings that could be sensed by the unique ring was completed, a certain little fatty who was still ignorant took one and was about to stuff it into his mouth. In the end, he didn't let the ring run into a child's stomach, but the ring that was chosen became Ezio's possession.
And it was also impractical to let a child wear a ring. Even if the magic ring that Lin made could automatically adjust the size of the ring according to the condition of the wearer's finger. So the ring became a connecting ring between a necklace and a pendant, making a necklace for Ezio to wear.
In order to make the big fatty willing to wear the necklace at all times, the pendant was actually a small flip photo frame, and Lin told Ezio that he could put in the photo of the things he valued the most, or the person he valued the most.
This kind of saying really made the fat boy listen to it, and the necklace never left his body. As for what he put in the pendant, although Ezio's attitude was to keep it a secret, everyone knew that it was an incomplete scale naturally shed by the old black dragon Augustus.
He didn't know who his parents were, and the old black dragon could be considered his only family. Especially after this incident, perhaps in that little heart of his, except for Augustus, no one else was trustworthy or reliable.
But the point was that one of the Nine Rings, the Ring of All, was in Ezio's hands. As long as the ring wasn't thrown into the water by the fat boy, his whereabouts wouldn't be a secret in front of a certain someone.
Understanding this point, the two girls smiled through their tears. They hurriedly tidied up and said, "Teacher, then hurry up and bring Ezio back!"
"No hurry, let him calm down outside and think about it. Wait a day or two, then we'll see what happens. "
Selfishly, a certain someone still wanted a few more days of peace. In public, if he didn't smooth out the fat boy's edges and corners, he would suffer a big loss sooner or later. Rather than suffer a loss from others, it was better to mistreat one's own people. Therefore, a certain someone rejected his own apprentice's request. But of course, this action was in exchange for the two apprentices' disappointment. Lin could only say,
"If you're really that worried, I'll give you Ezio's coordinates, and you can secretly protect him from behind. But I hope that unless it's a life and death crisis, you won't come out to help. I'd like to see how far he can break through in such a difficult situation. Otherwise, he can only be a spoiled child for the rest of his life. "
As if they had compromised with their teacher's words, the two girls hurriedly ran out after receiving Ezio's location signal to make sure that the fat boy didn't throw away the pendant.
At the same time, Lin looked at the humanized old black dragon and Kish, who was standing beside him with a stubborn expression, and asked, "Both of you, is this punishment acceptable?"
Kish was still a child after all, he couldn't tell right from wrong. He could only helplessly look at the experienced old black dragon.
The humanized Augustus, on the other hand, relaxed his frown. Perhaps a certain someone's suggestion wasn't to his satisfaction, but it wasn't unacceptable. If the child could successfully pass this obstacle, it would be more reassuring.
