Tiro had wanted to talk to Rongrong a little longer, but Tifuya had come with him, so he reluctantly agreed and left with Tifuya and the servant.
Watching them leave, Rongrong asked Filgate, "Grandpa, who are they? Why haven't I seen them before? "
Fergate smiled and said, "They are the grandsons and granddaughters of your Grandpa Tyerhaus. In the past, it was their fathers who came to visit me on behalf of Tyerhaus. Perhaps it's because these two children have grown up and Tyerhaus wants them to see the world, so he sent them. Rongrong! Although this Tiro has a good background and is an in-name disciple of the Sword Saint of the North, Grandpa doesn't really like his character. Don't get too close to him. Also, his relationship with his sister seems to be very unusual. Sigh, it would be great if I could use that young mercenary! "
Rongrong agreed disapprovingly. After all, Tiro was a handsome young man. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't attracted to him at all. How could the rebellious Rongrong listen to Filgate's advice?
Tiro sent Tifuya back to the luxurious room that Filgate had arranged for her. As soon as they entered the room, Tiro closed the door behind him. He hugged Tifuya's delicate body from behind and constantly kissed her white neck. Tifuya's body trembled and she struggled to break free from Tiro's embrace, "Big brother, I, I don't want to …"
Tiro was stunned for a moment. Tifuya's struggle made him, who was already in a bad mood, even angrier, "Tifuya, what are you doing?"
Tifuya lowered her head and pleaded, "Big brother, I'm a little tired. Not today, okay?"
Tiro flew forward and hugged Tifuya. He said angrily, "You don't want to, but I do." He kissed Tifuya's pretty face roughly and crazily, constantly taking off her clothes. How could Tifuya break free from Tyro's strong arms? Although she struggled with all her might, Tyro held onto her tightly and refused to let go. Piece by piece, her clothes were taken off. Today, Tiro was defeated by Dumb, which seriously hurt his proud self-esteem. Rong 'roused his lust, and now he was completely venting on Tifuya's delicate body. He held Tifuya's body and flew to the bed. With a wave of his hand, he extinguished the light and kept demanding from Tifuya.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Tifuya's eyes. More than a year ago, she had lost her chastity to Tifuya, unable to withstand Tifuya's pleading. At this time, Tifuya was no longer the gentle and elegant man he used to be. Instead, he was crazily ravaging her body. The powerful impact caused Tifuya's heart to ache. She clutched the bedsheets tightly as the scenes from back then in the small city of Nino kept flashing before her eyes …
"Brother Dumb, when I grow up, I'll marry you, okay?"
"What do you mean marry?"
"Marry means I want to be your wife and take care of you for the rest of your life! Oh, I'll take that as a yes. You can't go back on your word. From now on, my girl is Dumb's fiancée. You have to treat me well in the future. "
"Fiancée? Oh, okay, then I'll give you more steamed buns every day. … "
All the memories were so clear, and the words were as clear as yesterday. But now, she could no longer be Brother Dumb's chess piece. She had already betrayed him. How could she have the face to look for him? Brother Dumb, why? Why does fate play tricks on me so that we can meet but can't recognize each other? Brother Dumb, how I want to use a tattered jacket to warm up with you! But, I, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve to be your wife anymore.
After a bout of crazy venting, Tiro was finally released. He panted heavily as he leaned on Tifuya's delicate body. Feeling the cold tears on Tifuya's face, he was shocked. He shook his head hard and suddenly sobered up. What was wrong with him? Why did he become so crazy today?
"Tifuya, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive. Today, that silly boy humiliated me, so I was so impulsive. Don't, don't blame me. "
Tifuya was silent, as if she had lost all her vitality. She lay there quietly.
Tiro frowned and turned over from Tifuya's delicate body. He held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't cry. I won't do this again. I know you're tired. Go to sleep."
Tifuya was silent. She clearly knew that after seeing Dumb today, her heart could no longer contain Tiro. Everything that happened in Ninuo City kept flashing in her mind.
Dumb left the mayor's mansion in a depressed mood. Touching the remaining gold coins in his arms, he thought to himself, So it's not easy being a mercenary! If my skills weren't high enough, I'm afraid I would have died in Tiro's hands. Forget it, what's the point of thinking about this? They're all nobles. Naturally, they have their own way of life. Now that I have the travel expenses, I should hurry back to see Teacher Goris. Even though he comforted himself, Tifuya's familiar face kept flashing in front of his eyes.
Four days later, according to the directions on the map, Dumb finally passed through Duru Province and Talon Province and entered Varyan Province. The gradually familiar scenery made Dumb forget all his worries. Yue, the little girl, Xing 'er, Tifuya, and self-love were no longer important. Right now, he just wanted to see Teacher Goris as soon as possible. In his heart, Goris was the second most important person than the steamed bun, even more important than the little girl.
The sun hung high in the sky. The scorching heat was just like Dumb's current mood. The hazy scene of the Psychedelic Forest finally appeared in front of him. Looking at the familiar scenery, Dumb remembered the scene of his life here seven years ago. He stood there in a daze. He summoned his first creation after following Goris from the Dragon God's blood — a steamed bun wrapped in silver tin. Gently covering the silver tin on the steamed bun, Dumb sobbed and shouted, "Teacher Goris, I'm back. Your apprentice, Dumb, is back." His sobbing voice spread far and wide under the effect of his fighting aura, causing the surrounding trees to tremble slightly in response to his mood. After the loud shout, Dumb took a deep breath. His body was like an arrow shot from a bow as he flew towards the depths of the Psychedelic Forest.
Although Dumb wasn't familiar with the paths in the outskirts of the Psychedelic Forest, he knew that as long as he chose a direction, he would definitely be able to reach the place where Goris had set up the mechanism. Once there, even with his eyes closed, Dumb was confident that he would be able to reach Goris's wooden house.
The current Dumb was no longer the Dumb who would stumble due to the tiredness of his journey. The hazy fog of the Psychedelic Forest didn't affect him at all. Constantly tapping on the plants, his body was like a fish swimming through the forest. Spinning at lightning speed, he slid deeper into the forest without stopping.
As the wind blew, the speeding Dumb suddenly smelled a fishy smell. A deafening roar sounded, and a huge black shadow pounced towards him. Dumb was startled and immediately circulated the true qi in his body in reverse, forcefully stopping his forward momentum. Fighting aura covered his entire body as he prepared to defend himself.
The black shadow pounced towards him like lightning. Although it looked huge, it was very agile. Dumb finally saw that the thing that was pouncing towards him was actually a white colored beast with black patterns on its body. It was the king of beasts – a tiger.
Dumby smiled helplessly. It seemed like the tiger had treated him as its lunch. Although the tiger looked ferocious, it was nothing compared to the dark people of the Sunset Empire. Suddenly bursting forth with fighting aura, Dumb tilted his body slightly and dodged the white tiger's attack. His palm pressed towards the 'king' character on the tiger's head.
The white tiger seemed to be very smart. When it saw Dumb's palm coming towards it, it felt threatened. Its body actually made a dodging motion in midair and landed lightly to the side, dodging Dumb's attack.
Dumb was stunned. He didn't think that his lightning fast attack would be dodged by a tiger. He carefully looked at the white tiger. The white tiger landed on the ground and stared at him with its dark brown eyes. It was slightly roaring. Looking at its cautious appearance, it seemed to be hesitating whether to continue attacking or to turn and run. Dumb smiled and said, "Are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before? Go find some other food. You can't eat me. "
The white tiger snorted in dissatisfaction. Its round head shook slightly, and its four limbs kicked the ground. Suddenly, it pounced towards Dumb again.
Dumb was in a hurry to see Goris. Naturally, he didn't want to waste time with it. This time, he didn't dodge. He used his fighting aura to surround his body and waited for the white tiger to pounce on him. No matter how smart the white tiger was, how could it be compared to a human? When it saw Dumb, it didn't dodge. Its big eyes revealed a cruel light. It seemed that Dumb was going to be like any other prey, pushed to the ground and devoured.
Dumby smiled as he watched the white tiger crash into his defensive fighting aura. He didn't want to hurt this beautiful king of beasts. Under his control, his fighting aura became abnormally gentle. When the white tiger's seven to eight hundred pound weight crashed into Dumby's fighting aura, it was as if it had crashed into a soft cushion. Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and its pair of big eyes revealed a look of fear. Dumby chuckled lightly, and lightly pressed his palm against the "king" character on top of the tiger's head. As if he was swatting a fly, the white tiger's huge body fell to the ground. Dumby didn't use much strength, but it still made the white tiger dizzy. It rolled on the ground before it could stand up.
Dumb shook his head at it and said, "I said you can't eat me. Go find some other food. I'm leaving." After saying that, he turned into a ray of light and rushed into the depths of the Psychedelic Forest. The white tiger stood in the same place as it watched him leave. Its eyes revealed a trace of resentment. With a roar, it disappeared into the forest.
After running for an hour, Dumb finally saw a familiar place. He stopped his momentum and stopped. His whole body was boiling. Looking at the tall trees and everything in front of him, it made him remember many things. This was the place where Dumb saved Owen when he was surrounded by assassins. Owen could be said to be the second person who changed Dumb's fate. His importance to Dumb wasn't any less than Goris.
Dumb touched the Hell King Sword on his chest. Under his deliberate control, a monstrous evil aura surged out from the Hell King Sword's hilt. The cold evil aura caused the surrounding plants to tremble. Dumb felt like he had returned to the time when Owen fought against many assassins by himself. The Hell King Sword flashed and the world shook. Owen's cold and familiar voice seemed to ring out again. Tears flowed down Dumb's face. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Uncle Owen, I will definitely take revenge for you." Letting go of the Hell King Sword, Dumb closed his eyes. Relying on his incomparably familiar memory, he moved his body forward step by step. He was using his own heart to lead the way. Dumb could feel that he was getting closer and closer to Teacher Goris. He clenched his fists in excitement. Every step he took was very solid.
Dumb stopped. The sound of the birds was very clear. He knew that he had entered the lawless territory of Goris. He stood there, his body slightly trembling with excitement. Slowly, he opened his eyes. The courtyard was still shrouded in a thick fog. The fresh air made him feel refreshed. He was finally back. After seven years, he was finally back.
"Teacher Goris!" Dumb shouted loudly. How he wished to see the familiar and old face of Goris!
The surroundings were still vigilant. Dumb's shout had disappeared, but the wooden house was still quiet. Nothing had changed. He didn't see the figure of Goris coming out to welcome him as he had imagined. Dumb's heart sank. An ominous feeling filled his heart. He flew up, and with just one jump, he had already stepped onto the steps of the wooden house. Dumb gently pushed open the door of the room he used to live in. The room was empty. Nothing had changed. The wooden bed and the chair were still in his original position. On the chair was the bamboo basket he used to pick the fruits. Regardless of whether it was the bed, the chair, or the floor, there was a thick layer of dust. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Dumb's heart became even heavier. Teacher Goris, could it be that you never came back? No, that was impossible. He quickly ran out of the room and rushed towards the laboratory.
The laboratory was the place where Goris stayed the most. Once he entered, it wasn't as messy as Dumb had expected. Everything was in order, just like when he left. All the experimental items were in their original position. The cabinets around the wall were standing quietly. No matter what it was, they were all covered in a thick layer of dust, just like the wooden bed and chair in his room. Dumb walked step by step towards the small cauldron that Goris used to forge weapons. His heart was completely numb. Goris wasn't here. He wasn't here. Moreover, he hadn't been here for a long time. Could it be that after Teacher Goris left, he never came back?
The lid of the small cauldron was tightly covered. Beside the small cauldron, there was a dusty piece of clothing. Dumb clearly remembered that when he left, this piece of clothing wasn't there. His hands trembled as he picked up the piece of clothing. With a light shake, the dust immediately filled the room. Dumb had his Dou Qi to protect his body, so the dust couldn't invade his body. However, it still affected his vision.
After a while, the dust gradually quieted down. Everything in the surroundings appeared clearly in Dumb's sight again. He looked at the piece of clothing in his hand. Ah! This, this wasn't the black magician cloak that Teacher Goris always wore. His originally gloomy mood became lively again. Teacher had come back, Teacher Goris had come back.
Dumb excitedly hugged the cloak in his arms. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a piece of white paper at the place where the cloak was. There was a clear picture of himself on it. Dumb put the magician cloak aside and carefully picked up the slightly yellowed piece of paper.
On the white paper was Goris's handwriting. It was clearly written in the language of the Tenjin Empire, "Only my brother Corizon and my apprentice Dumb can come here. Corizon, if you have come, please leave immediately. Big brother has already left. If you meet my apprentice in the future, please help me take care of him. Everything that I have will be left to my apprentice. No, I have already admitted that he is my true apprentice, Dumb." Seeing this, Dumb's eyes became hot and tears flowed down. Teacher Goris, y-you have admitted that I am your apprentice. I am finally your apprentice. Dumb's lips trembled slightly as he continued to read. "Dumb, if you have come back, teacher will be very happy. Do you still remember the gift that I gave you? The one that you wrapped in silver tin. Go to the grid that contains the Soul Extinguishing Grass and pull out that drawer. The drawer will bring out an iron plate. Write the name of the gift that I gave you in the language of the Tenjin Empire in the grid on the iron plate. You will be surprised. " The words on the paper stopped there. Dumb clearly remembered that the Soul Extinguishing Grass was in the sixth drawer on the fourth row from the left. He walked to the cabinet and carefully pulled out the drawer. In the drawer, there was a dried light red Soul Extinguishing Grass. He clearly knew from the notes that Goris gave him that this was a highly poisonous herb. He didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He wrapped it with his fighting energy and slowly pulled the drawer open. Just as Goris had said in the letter, behind the drawer, there was an iron plate made of metal. The iron plate was very shiny and there were two square grid engraved on it.
Of course, Dumb knew what the gift that Goris was referring to. He stretched out his index finger and wrote the word 'Mantou' in the two grid. The gap of the drawer suddenly produced a strong suction. Dumb was startled and unconsciously let go of the drawer. The wooden drawer and the metal plate with the Soul Extinguishing Grass were sucked back to their original positions.
A creaking sound came from the ground. Dumb could clearly feel that the ground was slightly shaking. Although he was a little surprised, he firmly believed that Goris would not harm him. This must be a mechanism left by his teacher. He stood quietly in the same place and waited. Sure enough, Dumb's judgment was very accurate. In the middle of the empty space in the laboratory, the wooden board that seemed to have no gaps suddenly split open. The crack became bigger and bigger. A faint yellow light shone from below and a flight of stairs appeared in the crack. The mechanism left by his teacher was really amazing!
Dumb walked to the crack and looked down. He could only see a faint yellow light. It seemed to be a very deep passageway. The place where the steel had split open was actually a steel plate that was three feet thick. Under the steel plate, both sides were densely packed with small holes. Dumb, who was familiar with Goris, knew that if he did not find the correct way to open the mechanism, even if he forced his way in, he was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses and get nothing. The mechanisms set by his teacher Goris were always so tight.
Dumby's trust in Goris made it so that he did not have any hesitation or fear. Holding the letter in his hand, he quickly walked down the stairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, there was another creaking sound. Dumby looked up and saw that the crack in the steel had closed up again. He looked at his feet and knew that the mechanism to close the door should be on this tenth step.
Although the crack above had closed up, the light in the passageway was not dim. The faint yellow light was not strong, but it allowed Dumb to clearly see everything around him. He was surprised to find that the yellow light seemed to be seeping out from the wall.
Dumb quickly walked down the stairs. He walked down for more than ten meters before he reached the bottom. In the innermost part, there was only an empty space that was less than three square meters. At first glance, it seemed as if there was nothing there. Dumby frowned and looked around, but he still didn't find anything special. He knocked on the wall with his hand, and the wall sent him a message that the four sides of this place were solid iron walls. Suddenly, he found something on the ground at the corner of the wall. He quickly went over to take a closer look. With the white light emitted by his fighting energy, Dumb could clearly see that there was a small line of words carved in the corner. "This is my disciple, Dumb. After this, immediately kneel in the middle of the empty space and kowtow to this word three times. Then, loudly shout out your background when you were in the small city of Nino."
After reading this line of words, Dumb was stunned for a moment. Shout out my background? Isn't my background a thief? Since Teacher Goris asked me to do it, then I will do it. Thinking of this, Dumb knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. He loudly shouted, "I am a thief.
He realized that when he shouted these four words, his heart was filled with pain. At this moment, he could clearly feel how humble his background was.
Suddenly, without any warning, Dumby felt the ground beneath his feet become empty and his body abruptly fell. He couldn't help but cry out in alarm. It felt as if only a few seconds had passed before his body was blocked by something. That thing that was blocking him was very elastic, causing his body to bounce up in an arc and fall to the ground. With his Combat Aura protecting him, this little bit of pain was nothing. He straightened his body and stood up. In contrast to the light above, his surroundings were pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Just as he was about to use his Combat Aura to illuminate his surroundings, he discovered that the top of his head suddenly lit up. A faint white halo once again brought him light. He looked up and was surprised to discover that the white halo was actually provided by a fist-sized Night Pearl. The Night Pearl gradually slid down from a small crack in the ceiling, with a thin silver wire attached to it. The ingenuity of the mechanism left Dumby in awe. Back when he lived in the wooden house for a year, he actually didn't realize that there was such a huge place under the wooden house. It was a spacious stone room that was very dry. Although it was deep underground, it didn't feel stuffy at all. The empty stone room could be clearly seen at a glance. Where he had just landed, there was a large slanted net. It was that elastic large net that had bounced him to this place. Not far from him, there was a round table with a diameter of one meter. It seemed to be made out of stone. It was also the only utensil in the entire stone room. On the round table was a black wooden box without any decorations. It was completely bare.
Dumb stood up, walked to the round table, and picked up the wooden box. The wooden box was very light, and it was not locked. He gently opened the wooden box, and there were a few pieces of paper inside. Because they had been sealed in the wooden box, they did not turn yellow like the one in the wooden house. Dumb picked up the paper and opened it. It was a long letter that Goris had left for him.
"Dumby, I really hope that you can come back here and see this letter. When you see this letter, I will have already gone to the other world. Although I'm dead, I don't have any regrets. I'm already over eighty years old. My death isn't considered a premature death. In particular, I used my own death to finally fulfill my wish of several decades. I refined a divine weapon that belongs to me."
After reading a few lines, Dumb could not read any more. He was completely stunned. Teacher Goris is dead, Teacher is actually dead.
"No —, ah —" Dumb painfully screamed. At this moment, it was as if everything in the world had stopped. Only Dumb's voice kept echoing in the stone room. He felt like he had completely fallen into an endless darkness. In the darkness, he was like a little boat, constantly struggling on the surging waves of pain, trembling, heart broken, and soul extinguished.
The reunion after seven years turned out to be a world apart, a world apart.
In the darkness, the small boat constantly bobbed up and down. The immense pain caused the small boat to gradually collapse. The heart-wrenching pain continued to wreak havoc on the small boat. Just as the small boat was about to be completely destroyed by the pain, the dark waves suddenly disappeared. Two brilliant rays of light, one gold and one silver, brought light to the boat again.
Dumb stood quietly on the spot and regained his senses. Two streams of blood flowed down his face, staining his clothes and steel. Just when he was about to be completely destroyed by the pain, the second golden body in his chest and the silver golden body in his Dantian released a gentle energy in time. It reawakened the life force that he was about to give up and pulled him back from the edge of death.
Uncle Owen is dead, Bing is dead, Teacher Goris is also dead. Why, why are these people who are more important than steamed buns in my heart all dead? All of you are dead, what's the point of me living? Dumb knelt on the ground. The intense pain caused his body to curl up and spasm continuously. Seven years, seven years. After leaving for seven years, he received the news of his teacher's death. Bai Zhi in Dumb's hand was completely wrinkled. He curled up on the ground and gradually fell asleep. Perhaps, losing consciousness was the best way for him to escape the pain.
…
"Child, you're back. Teacher is so happy! "
Ah! This was Teacher Goris's voice. Dumb's body trembled and he shouted, "Teacher, where are you? Teacher, where are you? "
"Child, I'm here. Am I not right in front of you?" With a flash of light, Goris, who was wearing a black cloak and was emitting a faint white light, appeared in front of Dumb. His originally cold and stiff face had a kind smile.
"Teacher, I missed you so much!" Dumb pounced at Goris, but he passed through Goris's body and missed. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Dumb, you're already so old, why are you still so reckless! Look, what's this? " A blue mantou suddenly appeared in Goris's hand. The fragrant mantou was steaming. Dumb shouted excitedly, "Mantou, this is my favorite mantou."
Goris passed the mantou to Dumb and gently stroked his head. "Child, eat it. Eat more. Teacher loves to see you eat mantou. Teacher bought this for you. Do you like it? "
"I like it, Teacher. I really like it."
Goris's eyes revealed a sad look. "Dumb, Teacher is leaving you. No matter where Teacher is, I will think of you. Take care, my child." As his voice gradually weakened, Goris's body floated into the distance.
"No! Teacher, don't go! " Dumb carried the basket with the mantou and chased frantically. However, no matter how hard he chased, he could not catch up to Goris's speed. Finally, the surroundings returned to darkness and Goris's figure completely disappeared.
