Thunder Martial
Chapter 463 The Last Time
Zi Chen got into the carriage, and the old man sent him back to the manor. ~~щww~suimеng~lā
All the way without words.
Connie lowered his head, still not saying a word.
The old man didn't know what to say. The adult's eyes were like mirrors, which could see through every detail. It seemed that everything in the world would show its true form in front of his eyes.
He could see the calculations of the Riley family.
What is the plan of the Nadal family?
When the manor arrived, Zi Chen got out of the carriage, and the old man and Connie followed behind him.
Walking to the gate of the manor, someone immediately opened the gate, and Zi Chen stood at the gate, turning around to look at the old man.
The old man bent down habitually.
Zi Chen said: "Except for the previous one-fifth of my share in the City of Miracles, the remaining part is divided into two. I have one share, and your Dahl family has one share."
The old man was taken aback.
Connie, who kept his head down, raised his head and looked at Zi Chen's face, perhaps because of surprise.
"Ok, deal."
Zi Chen turned around and walked into the manor.
The old man stood there, motionless for a long time, as if petrified.
This benefit came too suddenly. I gave one-fifth of the Riley family earlier, which is already a huge amount. You must know that after years of development, the population of Miracle City has approached one million. The rent collected is itself an extremely large number.
However, compared with the calculated Riley family, the Dahl family got more, twice as much as the Riley family.
After recovering, the old man's face had a look of joy, this time it was a blessing in disguise.
He motioned for Connie to go back with him. In the carriage, the old man couldn't help singing a ditty, in a great mood.
Connie hesitated to speak.
"Speak up if you have something to say." The old man leaned his back against the carriage and said with a relaxed expression: "We have made meritorious service today. After returning to the family,
All are rewarded. "
Connie said: "I don't know if I feel wrong. In the past, the adults looked at us in the same way that their elders looked at the younger generation. Although they didn't talk a lot, they were always kind and kind."
The old man said: "Your feeling is not wrong. That person has a deep connection with our ancestors, and there are confessions in the ancestor's precepts. We can treat him like our ancestors on the spot. Moreover, after so many years, the appearance of the other party is indeed different. Otherwise, why would someone refer to the owner of the manor as an old fairy in private? Isn’t the legendary story that belonged to him back then still being circulated now?”
Connie said: "However, after the adult said the sentence of equal share, although there was no change in his eyes and expression, I felt that kind of intimacy disappeared, and there was a touch of alienation."
"Stay away?"
The old man froze for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared.
The ancestral precepts clearly warn that the legendary existence must not be angered.
He believed in Connie's perception, because it was his innate talent, and it was also the main reason why he chose Connie. He could know whether things were going well or not by perceiving emotions.
The adults actually began to alienate them, so this time, did Dahl do something wrong?
"If you can get half of the wealth of Miracle City just by alienating, are you willing to alienate others?"
Patriarch Dahl looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Tell me, what would you choose?"
The old man said hesitantly: "I may choose wealth, but the ancestor's precept..."
His words were interrupted by Patriarch Dahl, "It's not maybe, it's for sure! The ancestral precepts are from many years ago. At that time, the grandfather just remembered the old love and felt sorry for the other party. Even if he was great before, he is just a living thing now. Ordinary people who have lived for a long time, his era has long since ended. This era now belongs to us!"
"It's fine if it's just like this, but he has a lot of wealth in his hands, and he doesn't have a capable helper around him, not even a powerful nursing home."
Patriarch Dale said: "It's like a beautiful woman who took off her clothes and stood among a group of homeless people, and kept gesticulating all around. Who can hold back? By the way, this time the Riley family made an early move, and we invited the Isn't it a kind of temptation to exist? Now that the result of the temptation has come out, he really doesn't have much ability, so naturally he will be eaten in one bite."
The old man hesitated and said: "However, the warning from the ancestors has its purpose after all. After all, those people are gone, and there are only some legends left. According to the legend, the opponent's strength is unmatched by anyone."
"You said it too, only legends remain."
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Patriarch Dahl's mouth, "In that legend, the sixth level is a very common existence, and the ninth level is as numerous as a cow's hair, and even the ascension level appears. That guy with the ninth level can defeat the ascension. There are also two Ascensions leaving, do you think such an outrageous thing is possible?"
"Besides, you have also seen what happened today. In the face of a crisis, what else does he have besides ceding his own property? He is just an ordinary person, but grandpa gave him a myth. Perhaps, grandpa's real purpose, It's just to let us Dahl protect him, instead of him coming forward to protect us in times of crisis!"
Zi Chen returned to the manor and walked towards the little tree.
He was used to sitting next to the small tree, but just as he sat down, a leaf fell to the ground.
After the leaves fall to the ground, they disappear, as if they never appeared.
There was surprise in Zichen Gujing's eyes, "It's not time, why did the leaves fall?"
I saw another leaf fell.
In previous years, it was a piece of ten years, but today seems a little unusual.
The third leaf falls.
Zi Chen whispered: "Did you perceive my mood swings?"
The fourth, fifth, and sixth leaves also fell.
As the six leaves fell, Zi Chen's face gradually aged, as if sixty years had passed.
His perception is very keen, and he can feel this change in himself.
He smiled bitterly, looked at Xiaoshu and said, "Old friend, it seems that you can't hold on any longer."
The small tree is withered and yellow, and it seems that it will reach the end of its life at any time.
For a hundred years, he has seen too much life and death.
All the people he saved back then passed away.
Kata has left many legends, but they are just legends.
Looking at the thirteen leaves on the small tree, Zi Chen said: "If this goes on, it seems that it won't last long."
He looked up at the sky again, "Are we all disappointed in this world? But, if we leave, what should our friends do when they come back? Looking around, there is no one left. The fetters and persistence in our hearts, How sad should they be if one trick disappears?"
"No matter how disappointed we are with the world, we should persist until we see them one last time. Even if we can't change anything, we should still say thank you to them."
Zi Chen called all the servants in the manor over, they were obviously taken aback after seeing Zi Chen's change.
It's just one day, and he has become so old.
Zichen gave everyone a large amount of severance pay, enough for them to spend the rest of their lives happily.
When leaving, all the servants reluctantly bowed to Zi Chen, and then bid farewell.
Zi Chen waved to everyone and said 'thank you'.
Thank you for your care over the years.
So far, he was the only one left in the manor, looking lonely and deserted.
Fortunately, the little tree still exists.
The next day, the leaves stopped falling, which seemed to indicate that Zichen's mood had returned to calm.
Under normal circumstances, the thirteen leaves can last for 130 years, but after such a big thing happened, even Zi Chen didn't know what the future would be.
In the city of miracles, a change of forces has ushered in.
The Riley family settled in strongly, and tore up all the previous agreements with those shops, and took one-fifth of the original one-fifth as their own.
It's just that compared with the huge city of miracles, the Riley family who got one-fifth of it obviously won't be satisfied.
Because this is one-fifth of what it was a hundred years ago. During these hundred years, the City of Miracles has continued to expand under the management of the Dahl family, and the expanded share has not been given to Zichen.
As the Riley family that may be strong for three generations, naturally they cannot allow the Dahl family to dominate, so they started a confrontation of interests with the Dahl family on the surface.
At the same time, they also set their sights on Zi Chen.
Because what Zichen occupies, although it was an industry a hundred years ago, has already become a core location, with extremely high value, and everyone is jealous.
On this day, a person came outside Zichen's manor.
Peng!
The gate of the manor was kicked open, and a strong man with a big knife walked in.
Zi Chen sat beside the little tree, glanced at each other,
The storm is coming.
Just then, the little tree dropped a leaf.
There are twelve more.
"You are the master here? That legendary existence?"
The other party came to Zi Chen's side and raised the rough sword in his hand, but for this world, this also meant great progress.
"It's me." Zi Chen said calmly.
"I heard that the city of miracles is yours?" the other party asked again.
"Only part of it." Zi Chen corrected.
"Very good, now I give you two choices, one is to give me your share, and the other is to chop off your head and take away your share."
The big knife in the opponent's hand danced, with a piercing sound, "Master, my patience is limited, tell me your choice immediately!"
Zi Chen glanced at the little tree again, and another leaf fell.
There are wrinkles on Zi Chen's face, and his hair is also a little white.
Being close at hand, the man with the knife naturally saw Zi Chen's changes. Such a strange situation made him a little timid.
After all, it is a legendary existence, and he himself grew up listening to those legends.
"Okay, here's something for you."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the other party actually nodded in agreement, which surprised the knife-wielding man, immediately dispelled the fear in his heart, and said indifferently: "You're an old bastard."
Zi Chen reached into his arms and took out the title deed that he had prepared long ago.
So far, the City of Miracles has nothing to do with him.
The visitor was very satisfied with Zi Chen's cooperation, and he was very happy. He laughed loudly, "I thought it was quite difficult, but I didn't expect you to be very knowledgeable about current affairs."
Then, his eyes turned again, and he said: "This manor is too big, you can't live alone, why don't you give it to my uncle? Of course, you can also choose to refuse. It just so happens that my uncle's sword is already hungry and thirsty." It's too much."
Zi Chen looked at the person and said, "Are you sure you want this manor?"
Looking at the calm opponent, the fear dissipated in the knife-wielding man's heart reappeared again, but he naturally couldn't show it. He raised the big knife and slashed in the air a few times, then said: "Of course, the big knife that is hungry and thirsty, sir. Can kill everything in the world."
Zi Chen said calmly: "The manor can be given to you, but I have to live here because I have to take care of it."
While speaking, the little tree dropped another leaf.
The man with the knife looked at the small tree with a few yellow leaves left, and said, "It's almost dead, what's the use of it?"
"When it withers, I'll leave."
In the blink of an eye, three leaves have fallen, and the remaining ten leaves should not last long, so the other party nodded and agreed, "Well, seeing that you old guy is homeless, Uncle Luke will take you in kindly." gone."
Holding the land deed and house deed, Luke left. This time it was definitely a windfall.
Not only did I get what I wanted, but I didn't expect to get a manor for nothing.
As long as the little tree dies, he will be kicked out by the old man.
It's just that in his mind, what he can't get rid of is still the scene of the legend suddenly getting old, which is really weird.
Having lost the City of Miracles and the manor, Zi Chen's mood didn't fluctuate much, but he was a little regretful.
He thought that he could spend more than two hundred years in peace, but he didn't expect that after less than half of the time, his human nature was completely exposed in front of him.
Disappointment is there, and waiting is real.
He didn't try to guess whether that Luke was from the Dahl family or the Riley family.
Starting today, he, who has nothing left, has become a real spectator in this world.
He is watching the passage of time, seeing the vicissitudes of life, and he is also waiting for the return of the friend he has been waiting for.
Luke lived in wantonly, and after searching, he found Zichen's wealth, and he was very excited.
The next day, there were more than a dozen beautiful maids in the manor, responsible for Luke's daily life.
As for Zi Chen's identity, he has become an old housekeeper who doesn't care about everything, and is only responsible for watering a dying young tree every day.
Playing and singing every night, Luke's life is very uncomfortable.
One night a month later, Luke was out drinking, had a conflict with someone, and picked up his thirsty big knife...
When he was discovered, the big knife was cutting on his neck, and blood kept falling down the blade.
I don't know if I have drunk enough blood.
If he could choose again, I don't know if Luke would still be willing to spend the rest of his life in exchange for this month's glory and wealth.
The manor changed another owner. This owner did not change his servants. He obviously thought that Luke had a good vision.
Zi Chen is still watering the trees.
Turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside.
The second owner died unexpectedly before he lived for half a month.
Then came the third, and then the fourth.
The fallen leaves fell one by one, and this manor was like a river and lake, with people constantly fighting over it.
Gradually from the original secret fight to the final open fight.
Two groups of people are here to fight to the death.
Zichen still didn't care about this, and poured spiritual water on the small tree, as if he was in two worlds with the battle not far away.
And those who fought also had a tacit understanding, no matter how they fought to death, they did not spread the flames of war to Zichen.
This manor was a remote location a hundred years ago, but a hundred years later, this is a good location with priceless value.
After learning that the legend was just an empty shell, greed was born in everyone's heart.
A river of blood flowed.
I don't know how many people died in this manor.
The sound of fighting in the manor suddenly stopped.
Two groups of people came in from outside the manor, one was the Dahl family and the other was the Riley family.
All the heads of the two families showed up, and finally came from behind the scenes to the front.
Zichen sat beside the small tree, watching one after another leaves fall and disappear.
Only the last leaf remains.
The fighting stopped, the crowd parted to the sides, and they also took away the corpses of their companions.
The two patriarchs came in from outside the manor. The patriarch of the Dahl family looked at the messy manor, and couldn't help showing anger on his face, and scolded: "What nonsense, what do you think this is?"
The Patriarch of the Riley family also said dissatisfied: "This is the place where a generation of legends live, how can you allow you to mess around?"
"What generation of legends, the legends are all fake, he is just an old tortoise who lived a long time ago." A disdainful voice came from the front.
Zi Chen was still watering the tree, even if there was only the last leaf left, he ignored the deliberate mockery.
The Patriarch of the Dahl family came to Zichen, looked at Zichen who was sitting next to the small tree, and said: "My lord, I just heard about what happened here, and I just learned that my lord took the share of the City of Miracles, together with The estate is lost together."
It has been a year since Luke with the knife came here last time, and the news from the Dahl family came too late.
At this moment, Lott also came to Zichen and said: "I happened to get a land deed and a house deed by accident. I don't know if it was Legendary that you lost it. If you really lost it by accident, I can get it right now." Return this thing to you. After all, in the history of our Kata, you are the legendary hero who saved our Kata."
Laughter immediately came from behind, "The legendary hero who saved Kata? I think it's an old turtle. It's because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he sent things out. I'm going to see if he has the face and strength today." Have the guts to say that he accidentally lost something."
Patriarch Dahl said: "Don't worry, if you accidentally lost something, it will be yours. Our Dahl family will help you find it, so you don't need to worry about anyone."
Lott on the side also smiled and said, "Yes, if you really lost it, I will return it to you."
Zi Chen put down the ladle he had been using for many years, and glanced at the two Patriarchs, knowing that today was a doomsday situation, his expression was still calm.
"It's really boring," he said.
The two were a little puzzled.
There was a look of dissatisfaction on Patriarch Dahl's face, "Just say if you lost it, and what is interesting or boring in front of us? Do you deserve it?"
Lott said: "If you lost something, it will be given to you, just some foreign things, our Riley family still doesn't like it!"
The meaning of threat is already very obvious.
Zichen glanced at Xiaoshu again, and said: "Old friend, do you also think that this kind of life is too boring, so you want to leave?"
Zi Chen's face became even older, as if he was about to reach the end of his life in an instant.
And the last leaf on the small tree is already crumbling.
Lott winked to the side, only to see a person coming forward immediately, angrily said: "Those who pretend to be gods and ghosts, die to me."
A swipe of the blade cut towards Zi Chen.
Zichen looked up at the sky, but never looked at Daofeng.
A smile extended from the corner of his mouth.
"Finally home."
Suddenly, a light appeared above the sky.
A powerful breath suddenly came to this world.
The world changed from dynamic to static in an instant, as if everything had fallen into a stillness.
