Quadruple split.

Chapter 2469 Impure

"go to hell!"

Despite making such a murderous declaration, Samurai Shodown did not actually attack Zordon Nightcrawler, but just hid behind Motan and kept saying harsh words.

It's not because she was afraid of this seemingly powerless elf archaeologist who could only tie up a chicken, but when the Samurai suddenly broke free from the tablet and forcibly "appeared in the world", she was threatened by Gu Xiaole in a strong way, warning her that if she dared to hurt strangers (and familiar people) at will, he would fight her even if he was seriously injured.

In addition, when Samurai Shodown appeared behind him, Mo Tan also raised his arm and secretly stood between the Demon Witch and Zordon Nightcrawler, posing an obvious protective gesture.

Just like that, even though he might not care much about whether his Master would explode with him, for some reason the Samurai Shodown who had a great liking for a certain half-dragon knight did not take action after all. Instead, he used a relatively gentle and tactful way to reason with him, and sincerely suggested to Jodon - go to hell.

"Miss Xiaole?"

Zordon smiled awkwardly at the Samurai who was staring at him, as if expecting something. In desperation, he turned to Gu Xiaole, who he knew had a close relationship with him, and asked for help: "Excuse me, how can I make myself seem... more likable?"

"ごめんなさい!ごめんなさい!"

Gu Xiaole immediately bowed twice in a row, and then he introduced with an embarrassed expression: "This child is my Shikigami, that is... uh, a special summoned creature. She has a bad personality, and even I, the so-called master, don't tolerate her."

"Hate."

As a result, in the next second, the shikigami immediately glared at Gu Xiaole with her incredibly oppressive eyes and gritted her teeth: "Go to hell."

"See, she always wants most people she sees to die immediately."

Gu Xiaole shrugged and spread his hands to Zordon, "So I really can't teach you how to please her, because I have been trying to find a way to make her stop cursing me to death. By the way, I didn't actively summon this child just now. She ran out on her own."

Zordon laughed in silence and nodded, "I roughly understand. So this lady Shikigami came out to confront me because she was worried about Brother Mo?"

"Although I don't understand what she is thinking most of the time..."

Gu Xiaole sighed, looking at the samurai who was holding onto Mo Tan's shoulders with both hands with a subtle expression. Although his expression was as cold as ice, he shook his head gently and said weakly, "But that's probably what happened. I can feel that Mr. Zordon is carrying some alchemical tool full of sacred power. In the system I practice, such things generally pose a huge threat. I personally don't care, but the child obviously has some stress reaction."

Zordon understood immediately after hearing that, and took off the silver chain on his belt that looked like an ornament, and put it into the standard space storage bracelet that the Archaeologists Association had ordered from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. He explained with a smile: "That thing is a high-level support material donated by the Holy Church Union to our Archaeologists Association. Because of its extremely high value, there are less than 20 sets in each batch of support. It is specially given by the association to me, a regional leader who is not very strong, for self-defense. I would not have brought it outside originally, but mainly because I came here too hastily this time, and there were no idle armed archaeologists around me, so I had no choice but to carry such a flashy thing for self-protection in case of emergency."

Almost at the moment when Zordon put away the silver chain, the resentment in the Samurai Shodown that seemed to have substance suddenly surged by more than three times. However, immediately afterwards, the resentment that made Yaya, Ji Xiaoge and Harley hug each other subconsciously disappeared without a trace and was all gathered back into the Samurai Shodown.

"If that's the case, it seems that I really didn't think it through before."

Zordon, feeling lighter, breathed a sigh of relief, and then invited Mo Tan again: "So, let's take a walk?"

"it is good."

Mo Tan nodded without hesitation and agreed immediately just like last time.

……

five minutes later

The seventh large-scale base of the Archaeologists Association in Savage Highlands, next to the artificial lake

Zordon Nightwalker stopped in front of the lakeside with shimmering waves. Mo Tan, who was walking side by side with him, naturally stopped without hesitation, and then... the Samurai Shodown, who had insisted on following Mo Tan since the beginning and could not be pulled by anyone, also stopped drifting forward.

That's right, even though Zordon put away the high-level item produced by the Holy Union, and Samurai Shodown clearly looked relieved, she obviously did not intend to give up the idea of ​​protecting someone. And the facts also proved that despite Gu Xiaole's emotional and logical persuasion, and Ji Xiaoge, who was a little jealous but had to stay to check the equipment, also bluntly stated that "I wanted to go too", but in the end, everyone still failed to successfully "convince" Samurai Shodown.

In the end, it was Zordon himself who stated that "We're just chatting about family matters, and it's okay even if the shikigami lady comes along," and calmed down the chaos in the center of the base.

"I remember that when Largo and the others were little, this was not a beautiful artificial lake, but a small fountain."

Zordon looked at the beautiful lake in front of him, which was not a masterpiece of nature but still a landmark in the base. He smiled cheerfully to Mo Tan beside him and said, "I remember that little Pesci liked to come here to read books, and Largo, a rare friend of her age, always came to play with her. But now... I'm sorry, little ones, I'm late."

Zordon shook his head, sighed deeply, and ultimately did not continue speaking.

"Please have your condolences."

Mo Tan simply said a word of comfort, and did not take the initiative to say anything to the branch president next to him, with whom he had a close relationship, because he knew very well that the other party was now immersed in those unforgettable memories of the past. Instead of trying to wake him up, it would be more suitable for him to stand by and keep quiet, trying not to disturb this brief memorial.

And Zordon did not 'wander off' for too long. In less than two minutes, his eyes regained clarity. He turned to Mo Tan and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you."

"It should."

"So Largo did tell you about me?"

"Yes, in his opinion, you are obviously an elder who is very trustworthy and reliable."

"Largo is flattering me a little too much."

Zordon turned to look at Mo Tan, revealing a helpless smile: "Or rather, he always likes to selectively turn a blind eye to certain overly realistic problems. For example... if he didn't have the potential and strength to become the leader of the [Wrecker] mercenary group, if the [Wrecker] didn't have such strong strength and influence, my uncle Zordon might not have cared about him so often, and taken good care of his mercenary group and done so much good things."

Mo Tan, who had not expected Zordon to be so frank, was stunned for a moment, and then said in a calm tone: "In my opinion, few people can completely avoid the big topic of 'reality', but from another perspective, as the saying goes, a gentleman judges deeds rather than hearts. Regardless of your purpose, your care for Brother Largo and the Destroyer Mercenary Group is genuine, isn't it?"

Zordon narrowed his eyes, savoring Mo Tan's words "A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart" before he sneered: "I must admit that you people from other worlds always say things that are too philosophical and too reasonable. Just this accumulation and background alone makes people feel awe... and a little fear at the same time." "This..."

Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, then replied in a serious tone: "Although I admit that your concerns are indeed reasonable, from the perspective of an alien, I think the 'cultural invasion' we bring will not have much impact on this world. Of course, this is just my one-sided opinion."

Zordon laughed and shook his head, saying, "I just said a few nonsense. From a personal point of view, I have always had a good impression of these aliens. From the perspective of the association, you are also very good partners."

"Annoying."

The spirit that floated behind Mo Tan, like a ghost behind him, muttered softly, and then muttered loudly: "Go to hell."

Mo Tan coughed lightly with some embarrassment, cast an apologetic look at Zordon, then turned to look at Samurai Shodown helplessly, and shook his head slightly under the latter's creepy gaze.

"You, happy."

The Samurai pursed his lips, then suddenly turned his back to the two of them and said seriously: "I will try my best."

"Thank you."

Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked this shikigami who did not recognize any of his relatives but only favored him.

Zordon shrugged and sighed, "I think this shikigami girl is very perceptive. She seems to be able to sense my 'evil thoughts', but Brother Mo, you just said that a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than by heart, so is it possible that although my actions may be based on 'reality', this does not prevent me from being a friend who is equally trustworthy and reliable to you?"

"Of course, I have no doubt about it."

Mo Tan nodded decisively, then changed the subject and said seriously, "But I cannot represent my friends, Mr. Zordon. Whether it is Miss Xiaole who has a special power system, Jadeka and the Diesel family, Yege and Tianzhushan, or our friend who can transform into a dragon, I cannot represent them. That is why, even though I am the nominal captain of this adventurer team, I cannot make decisions on my own in this regard."

Zordon chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "To put it bluntly, because you have to be responsible for your partner, you can only accept 'pure' kindness, right?"

"terribly sorry."

Mo Tan did not deny it, but just sincerely apologized to the elegant and intellectual elf man in front of him.

"No, no, no, this is not something to apologize for, my friend."

Zordon shook his head and said briskly, "Everyone has a position that suits them, and we can never expect the one that suits us to be likable. Of course, I have to admit that I envy younger generations like Perla and Harley, because in the position that suits them, life and work will become very pure, while for me, it's just the opposite..."

The branch president, who did not have much interaction with Mo Tan, scratched his head, walked slowly to the artificial lake next to him, lowered his eyes and looked at his somewhat tired self in the reflection, his gaze slightly dim.

"I don't have such conditions, so I can't live as a pure person."

He let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "But that was just an excuse. In the final analysis, it's because I'm not a pure person. I can only thrive in various mediations and stand out in countless exchanges of interests."

Mo Tan did not comfort Zordon by saying something like "everyone has their own strengths", because he knew very well that there was no need for him to teach the other person such truth, so now he just needed to be a quiet listener with Samurai Shodown.

However, when Mo Tan was ready to be a good listener, Zordon did not continue to sigh, but turned back to the former and said seriously: "In short, I understand what you mean, Brother Mo, but... please let me try again."

"it is good."

Mo Tan nodded obediently and said with a smile, "You go ahead."

"I can promise that I will not pester you in such an unseemly way as I did before, nor will I force you to do me a favor, or give it to the Paw Patrol, or anyone else related to you."

Zordon looked into Motan's eyes and said sternly, "But if one day in the future you really need the help of the Archaeologists Association, please don't hesitate to ask me or any member of the Association you can find, okay?"

To Zordon's surprise, Mo Tan nodded happily this time: "Of course no problem, I assure you that when the situation requires, I will never hesitate to ask the Archaeologists Association for help."

"call."

Zordon let out a long sigh and smiled, "That's good, that's good."

"But can I ask you a question?"

"You want to ask why I am so obsessed with making friends with you?"

"...That's right."

"The reason is very simple. Our Archaeologists Association is not as powerful as the City of Miracles, the Wanderer's Inn, the Thieves' Guild, and the Adventurers' Guild. We need friends, the more the better, and..."

"and?"

"Just like the reason why you don't want to deal with me and prefer to get along with Largo, Peschi and the others, the reason why I want to be friends with you is naturally because it's too tiring to face the Diesel family, Tianzhu Mountain or those alien groups who have no interest in doing anything."
