human ice maker

Chapter 31

In the secret room under the swimming pool, 11 quietly watched the old man gulp down the spirits.

This was the third day that Madi left Eagle Country. From the day Madi went to Xila, 11 would bring wine to this unknown old man every night late at night, and he would leave after drinking.The two of them rarely spoke, as if they were very familiar with each other, but they were very strange.

Because of 11’s large amount of alcohol theft, the amount of wine in the bar keeps decreasing, and the servants often see many empty wine bottles in the trash can when they clean up the next day. To the questions of the servants, 11 just said lightly: "I drank it."

The master's trust in 11 is definitely not comparable to these servants, so the servants didn't say anything, but one person wanted to please the master deliberately, and secretly told Ruo Li, and Ruo Li just laughed it off.

11 I don't understand why I have to give wine to the elderly every day, it's just subconsciously wanting to do so.It seemed that the old man gave him a very special feeling, but he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

"Maybe it's because I look like a native of Longguo." In this regard, 11 is self-deprecating to comfort himself.

At this moment, 11 quietly stood aside, watching the old man drink up the last bottle of wine.It's just that there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The old man put down the wine bottle, glanced at 11, and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Eleven nodded and asked, "Do you know Leng Ye?"

"Leng Ye?" The old man shook his head after thinking for a moment, "I've never heard of it."

"He is from the Dragon Kingdom, he came to attack the manor last time..." 11 told him everything about himself and Leng Ye.

The old man just let out a faint "oh" after hearing this.

"Did he come to save you?"

The old man sneered and said, "I don't know, maybe it's the same purpose as your boss."

"Your own people catch your own people?"

The old man sneered and said, "What's wrong? If I hadn't been attacked by one of my own people, how could that fat pig have caught me. And locking the lute bone can restrain the skill. This is a martial arts talent of our Dragon Kingdom I know, if there is no traitor, that fat pig would never know how to lock my lute bone with an iron hook." After a pause, the old man sighed heavily, and said in a sad tone: "No matter when, the traitor There will always be. Why are there always some people who can't resist the temptation and betray their own country and nation?"

Both of them were silent for a moment, and the old man suddenly said, "11, do you want to learn from me?"

11 nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I can teach you, but you have to go to Dragon Kingdom to help me with one thing in the future."

11 shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee this."

"why?"

"I belong to the 'devil', and I can't leave without a mission."

The old man frowned and said, "I can give you great power, and then you will be able to escape the control of the organization."

11 thought about it, but shook his head.

"why?"

11 shrugged and said, "The 'devil' won't allow it."

The old man snorted and said, "At that time, you already possessed great power, why are you still afraid of them?"

"No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot compare with an army."

The old man thought for a moment and asked, "So you don't want to learn?"

"I want to, but I can't promise you anything."

The old man sneered and said: "If you pay, you will be rewarded. It is impossible for you to get all the power for nothing."

11 shook his head and said, "Forget it then."

The old man looked at 11 with interest, and said: "If it were anyone else, he would agree without hesitation, even if he just lied to me."

11 said lightly: "I don't want to lie to you."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay then, I won't force you. You can go."

11 packed up the empty wine bottle and left silently.After returning to the hall, he began to think about the old man's words again.

It is undeniable that when the old man said that he would teach him skills, he was really moved.But he knew that it was impossible for him to disobey the organization, just like a child, it was impossible to disobey his parents.Although the "devil" is not his parents, he grew up among the "devil" after all, coupled with the consistent brainwashing policy of the "devil", his subconscious mind can't do anything to betray the organization.

Why can't you lie to the old man? 11 is not a gentleman, on the contrary, he is also very skilled in deceiving people.But he just didn't want to deceive the old man, it was an indescribable feeling.

In the dark hall, two lights are constantly flickering...

On the second day, 11 spent another day with Ruoli and Kedis as usual, and in the middle of the night, he came to the secret room with a few bottles of wine.

11 Put the wine bottle in front of the old man and said, "He will be back tomorrow."

The old man didn't speak, just unscrewed the bottle cap and drank happily.Until he drank the whole bottle of spirits in one breath, he kept wiping his mouth and said, "How did you think about what I said yesterday?"

11 shook his head and said, "I can't agree."

The old man seemed to have known that he would say this, calmly opened the second bottle of wine, and breathed the bottom out again.After drinking, the old man said: "My real name is Lu Yang, and I am the descendant of Dragon Kingdom Sword Sect. Some friends nicknamed me 'drunkard'. Heh."

11 didn't understand why he said this to himself, but he didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

Lu Yang continued: "Dragon Kingdom is an ancient civilization with a long history. Since ancient times, it has paid attention to self-cultivation, so it has derived things like Dragon Kingdom martial arts. In fact, the real Dragon Kingdom martial arts has declined. Many Martial arts are even more lost. What is still being circulated today is only the superficiality of the real Dragon Kingdom martial arts, which is less than one ten-thousandth of the real martial arts."

Lu Yang sighed, as if he was saddened by the decline of Longguo martial arts, and asked after drinking a bottle of wine in one go, "Do you know what the extreme state of martial arts is?"

11 shook his head.

Lu Yang smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know. I have been learning martial arts for more than 90 years, and I should be about [-] years old. In fact, practicing martial arts is not only for strengthening the body, but also for breaking through my own limits and reaching another level. A level of realm. Just like me, I can live here for so many years without eating or drinking, this is a realm achieved by martial arts breaking through its own limits."

11 He listened like a heavenly scripture. He knew that practicing martial arts could strengthen the body, but he had never heard that practicing martial arts could lead to the point of not eating or drinking for several years. In his opinion, this was too unbelievable.

Lu Yang seemed to know what 11 was thinking, looked up at him, and said, "Don't be surprised, people like us were very common in the ancient Dragon Kingdom. At that time, the Dragon Kingdom was an era that advocated martial arts. , even the farmers who plow the land can do a few tricks. But now... alas. There are not many people like us now, and most of them can't be seen."
