Chapter 18: The Misty
After Isaac left, Caroline and Old Hans immediately stopped arguing.
"Grandpa Hans, are you really going to put the 'Ring of Spirits' on Isaac?" Caroline asked tentatively.
At this moment, the old Hans' expression became serious again.
He sighed, frowned as he pondered, his eyes dulled, and he was a little lost, as if he was trapped in some kind of entanglement and contradiction.
"This ring does have a lot of temptation to me. But you also know, Caroline, I have a special relationship with the Lacket family. Isaac is the grandson of the old guy after all."
"If the blood flowing in his body is enough to support him with the strength worthy of the 'Spirit Ring', then I don't mind that our hidden people have an excellent intelligence officer."
"Caroline, please observe him more these days and report to me in time if there are any special circumstances." Old Hans ordered.
Caroline pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, every time I leave this kind of teaching newcomers to me, you and Quinn are happy outside, I won't do anything! I won't say anything!"
"Please, Caroline, don't be slutty. Quinn is going to visit the Warrior Kingdom these days, and there is something very important to him."
"As for me, you know, my bones are useless now, and it's hard to walk around. How can I still have the energy to teach people the soul art?"
"Tsk, you believe this. Look, you probably like a single sister in the town again, waiting to go to someone's house to discuss the profound topics about soul art."
Caroline looked like she saw through everything.
"Nonsense, Caroline, how could you wrongly accuse me? In your eyes, old man, am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger?"
Old Hans was a little angry. He felt that his personality had been insulted like never before, and the glorious image he had established in the past disappeared.
"Of course." Caroline nodded without thinking, "Grandpa Hans, you not only take advantage of others' danger, but you also feel lustful."
Old Hans suddenly felt that his blood pressure was a little high.
Caroline looked at his angry appearance, and her old face turned red from anger and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Damn girl, I will settle the accounts with you in the future. I won't talk about this anymore. I think there must be content you are interested in in the information Quinn brought back."
Hans poured himself another glass of wine and spoke seriously.
"Oh? What is it, Grandpa Hans?"
"Before I gave the answer, can you feel the unusualness of this as a great intelligence officer?"
Old Hans said, looking at Caroline with interesting interest.
"Well, let me think about it. Judging from the direction of the whole thing, if something is really wrong, perhaps the problem lies with the Warrior Kingdom Soul Master named Mu Xi."
Caroline held her white jade hands and thought for a while before answering.
"Caroline, do you think the name Mu Xi is a bit familiar? Think about it carefully, I think you should understand."
Old Hans smiled at her in a mysterious way.
Hearing this, Caroline murmured: "Mu Xi, Mu... Xi..."
"Wait a minute, this name is..."
Suddenly, Caroline seemed to realize something, and her pretty face showed an expression of shock, and her big water-blue eyes were filled with incredibleness.
"Ah! How could this be, it's impossible, why did he... appear in Aler Town? This doesn't make sense."
Seeing that she guessed the answer, Old Hans nodded and said with a confident look:
"The information brought by Quinn will not go wrong, and this has been confirmed. In fact, what we should have thought of long ago is how could a guy who can possess a Horcrux such as the "Spirit Ring" be an ordinary person?"
"If this is true, the assassination that happened in the Warrior Kingdom that a few days ago would be..."
Caroline couldn't help but exclaim.
Hans drank the wine in the cup in one go, looking deep and calmly at the base of the glass, with a little self-deprecating on his face:
"Yes, we were all cheated, it was a complete conspiracy."
...
Walking on the plaid tiled avenue in Kaiens Town, Isaac's back looks thin and lonely.
In the small town at night, there is almost no breath of fireworks.
Occasionally, pedestrians on both sides of the road, their shadows were drawn under the reflection of street lights.
A gust of wind blew, and Isaac suddenly felt the biting cold.
On both sides of the road are rows of slanted bungalows with shadows, and you can vaguely hear the sound of talking and talking inside.
Isaac continued walking for a while, and a small stone bridge appeared in front of him. The dark river water flowed under the bridge, and the air had a faint smell of soil.
There were two rows of newly built stone benches on the bridge. With the faint light on the side, Isaac saw a woman in a long red dress sitting on the stone bench far away from him.
Because the light was too dark and the woman was sitting on the stone bench with her back to him, Isaac could not see her face clearly, but could only see her long black hair.
If it is normal, it will be a bit creepy to see such a strange scene at night.
Isaac was not afraid at all.
To be precise, his heart has become tumultuous.
After learning about his father Ax's death, Isaac felt that the whole world had become less important.
So what if it’s a girl Piaopiao, can she still eat herself?
Isaac had experienced life and death separation before, and his heart was extremely calm.
By the way, Isaac actually walked towards the stone bridge.
The cold wind kept blowing on his cheeks. Isaac came to the stone bench, glanced at the woman with her back to him, and hesitated whether to come forward to say hello.
Just then, he suddenly heard a slight sob.
The woman was crying in a low voice!
Isaac felt that the back was familiar. He seemed to understand something, so he took off his coat and walked towards the woman.
"Go back, it's not suitable for staying outside, and you'll catch a cold."
Isaac said, putting his coat on the woman's exposed white shoulders.
At this moment, Isaac felt that he had changed, and his tone was not the same as before.
He felt that his voice was no longer childish, and his tone was no longer full of childishness.
Isaac soon realized his changes, and he felt his voice sounded very strange.
Perhaps it was the empathy that arose after experiencing the painful parting that made Isaac choose to help a stranger who had nothing to do with him and give her some warmth.
Of course, that's all.
The moment the coat was put on her body, the woman in the red dress looked weak and trembled slightly.
She turned slowly, and a pair of beautiful eyes mixed with tears and some redness fell on Isaac.
The one in the tavern...
Isaac was right. He responded boldly to her gaze and did not have any unrealistic thoughts because of the other party's beautiful appearance.
This is also very abnormal.
Isaac had never dared to look at others' gazes, especially women's, which made him feel anxious and a little embarrassed.
But now, he stared at a beautiful woman without hesitation for a few minutes, and there was nothing he could think of except sympathy. What an incredible thing this is!
Looking at the boy in front of me, the woman in red dress was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she shook her head firmly:
"When you go back, tell your young master that I will not agree to his request. It is best not to use this trick of cheating the girl on me in the future, otherwise it will only deepen my disgust for him."
