Quadruple split.

Chapter 965 A New Day

Game timeAM08:19
Outskirts of the City of Gold, Kobold Settlement Chief House, Main Hall

"You're laughing, my friends."

Patriarch Jia Liang, who had just played tricks with his nephew, blinked, moved his body sunk deep in the large sofa, and showed a warm and friendly smile to the Wang Wang team sitting opposite: "It seems that everyone has already used it. Breakfast~"

Mo Tan smiled, nodded sincerely and said: "I have already eaten, thank you very much for your hospitality."

"What are you talking about? You are little Hogg's benefactors, and even more so, the Heipi family's benefactors. Don't be polite to these simple meals, let alone..."

Carleone rubbed Hogg's head beside her with her hand, and said with a smile, "Those things are all made by Hogg. This child has been in charge of the family for a long time, and he has been very good at cooking since a few years ago."

The kobold boy shrank his neck shyly, looking a little embarrassed.

The two members of Heipi's family did not have dinner with the Wang Wang team. Among them, Ms. Carleone just stayed in bed because she slept late yesterday, while Hogg got up before six o'clock and did a meal. After dinner, he ate something and went out with Wang Badan.

As for the reason, it is naturally to confirm whether the 'curse' has really faded, which is what everyone has been doing during this period of time.

Cordoba, Fimiguel, and A Liang had already left two days ago, and the reason why the Wang Wang team headed by Mo Tan stayed in this settlement until now was to verify that Jia Lian Did the matriarch and Hogg, the two remaining fruits of the Heipi family, get rid of the curse and completely 'off work' like their ancestor named Seven Ink Heipi.

The specific test process is to accompany the two to do some things that theoretically would cause big problems after the Black Skin family did it, such as taking Hogg to the place where he had accidentally teleported himself to an alien plane to do it again.

Although Patriarch Jia Lian didn't want to cooperate very much at first, but after hearing what Mo Tan and others had experienced in the ruins, his nephew had made up his mind completely, so he put on a posture that even ten cows would not be able to pull back , and finally reluctantly agreed.

The first experiment was to ask Hogg to go to the place where the snakes chased him before, cut himself a hole, and drip two drops of blood on the root of the big tree, but nothing happened.

In the subsequent experiments, the Wang Wang team and Jia Lian, who hardly ever go out, went for a walk around the places where the ancestors of the Heipi family were "disappeared" in the records. During this process, the patriarch The lady has been spilling blood in the center of the protection circle of the Wang Wang team, but there is no abnormality in the slightest.

It wasn't until this time that Jia Lian finally began to believe the Wang Wang team's previous statement about "her ancestors are off work". She is not a stupid person, and naturally she will not insist on insisting that the content is made up by Mo Tan and others Yes, after all, these people had no motive, and they had saved Hogg's life before.

In the end, just the night before, the patriarch Jia Lian made an extremely courageous decision. She put some medicine in Hogg's dinner, making the child sleepy and went back to bed early, and resolutely made a decision after that. Let Mo Tan and others take him to a place fifteen miles away from the settlement.

The point of this matter is not 'a certain place', but the 'fifteen miles away' in front of it.

Here to help everyone recall, when Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge first met the matriarch Jia Liang, the latter mentioned that when her mental state was not stable, anyone with a 'black skin' 'A person with this surname, as long as he leaves the village, even if he is in the surrounding area, he may disappear. Not only that, if the straight-line distance from the village exceeds fifteen miles, he will die of cardiac arrest immediately.

This may not be a curse, but it is more overbearing than those real curses!

Mo Tan and others have already guessed the basic theory of the former one. It is probably that people with black skin blood have some kind of special 'qualification', which allows them to obtain some relatively basic permissions, such as convenient access from a certain place on the surface. Teleport to that No. [-] library, just like Hogg before.

Now that the Sun Dynasty has completely cooled down, those fully automatic puppets that have been in disrepair for a long time have already had a lot of problems including but not limited to 'logic confusion' and 'instruction errors', and these problems are enough to make them shout " Praise the Sun' while hacking down those unlucky ones who accidentally teleported themselves into the Archives.

If Mo Tan hadn't been stuck in the corridor that day, and the Wang Wang team and the beautiful girl mercenary group were inexplicably teleported into the same place with a drop of dog blood, Hogg would have died long ago.

Of course, after the two-day verification, it is basically certain that there will be no mistransmissions and other situations. After all, Jia Lian has visited almost every place where the ancestors disappeared in the records, eating, drinking, and cutting their wrists. Blood and everything was used, but nothing supernatural happened.

And the second characteristic of the 'curse' is so domineering that even people like Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, and Dabus who can be sure that the task has been completed are a little uneasy.

He died of cardiac arrest after being more than fifteen miles away from the village. Simply put, he died suddenly!
This is where the curse is sharp. If it weren't for this, the black-skinned lineage could have migrated carefully in the past years, away from this land where they could disappear at any time, even if it might be activated on the road. Anything weird, as long as you are careful enough, it won't be a big problem.

But it has nothing to do with being careless when the distance is more than fifteen miles.

"I believe in you, and believe that what you told me and Hogg before is true."

Nine hours before the game time, Jiali Ang, who secretly left the village with the Wang Wang team, took a deep breath, covered in the hazy moonlight like a silver veil, and saluted deeply to the benefactors in front of him, then grinned and said: "However, there may be contingencies in everything, so... If something happens to me, please comfort my nephew, and take care of him for a while if possible."

After saying that, he strode out of the 'safe area' in the family records, and stepped into the 'death line' where as long as there is black blood flowing on his body, he will die suddenly.

It turned out nothing happened.

Jia Lian shuddered violently at first, and then took the second step cautiously. In the end, nothing happened. There was no sudden sharp pain from the chest, no tragic bleeding from the seven orifices, and no blackness in front of her eyes. , no long life flashbacks, nothing!

Then, the patriarch lady began to fall into a state of confusion like crazy. I saw that she first swooped and knocked down two small saplings, and then spun, jumped, and rattlesnake maneuvered. I had to jump up and down like a gas tank with epilepsy, and made all kinds of weird noises without logic and meaning. At first glance, I really looked crazy.

But everyone present knew that Jia Lian was not crazy, but fell into a kind of ecstasy that was difficult for others to empathize with. The joy in her soul, coupled with her suppressed for an unknown number of years... Every intelligent life is born with the inherent pursuit of freedom, this matriarch's mentality, which is quite deep in the city and rational enough in most cases, finally Collapsed, and began to burn up his calories crazily.

Although this nimble, jumping up and down fat man is not very lethal, but the visual impact is not bad, and the big guy looks stupid on the spot.

It took a long time before Jiali Ang calmed down, knelt on the ground and raised her head in a daze, talking to herself, muttering something...

Mo Tan and the others heard bits and pieces of words such as 'father', 'mother', and 'Balcion'. The last one was the name of Hogg's father, the previous patriarch before Jia Lian.

The crowd did not step forward to disturb, but tacitly dispersed in place, pulling out a cordon in this not-so-dangerous place, creating an environment where no one would disturb Carleon.

It wasn't until dawn that Jia Liang, who seemed to be in good health, found Mo Tan, patted the latter's buttocks to indicate that she was fine, and then quietly returned to the settlement with everyone.

Not long after, Hogg woke up energetically after a good night's sleep, quickly prepared a hearty breakfast for everyone, and then sneaked out with Wang Badan.

The goal is any place more than fifteen miles away from the village. Hogg, who is going to use his own life to prove whether the curse has really disappeared, set off!

What the young man didn't know was that some bastard he thought he had become familiar with had sold him long ago, and the reason why he was acquiescing to this little adventure was because of Carlyon I had personally practiced it last night, and after confirming that even if I crossed that 'dead line', there would be no problem, I let him slip away.

And when Mo Tan and the others came to the main hall after breakfast, it happened that Hogg was excitedly telling Jia Lian that the curse no longer existed.

Without telling Hogg the truth, Jia Lian just looked lovingly at her nephew dancing and asking for credit, and praised softly: "Okay... very good, Hogg has really grown up..."

' What a good parent! '

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips and sent a message to Mo Tan.

'Agreed, Hogg is such a lucky boy. '

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and looked softly at the young kobold boy with a shy smile and a straight waist unknowingly.

Obviously, on the premise that Jia Lian didn't mention the concealment last night, Hogg, who risked his life early this morning to test whether the sudden death curse really worked, is a hero, a real hero!

And this sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is precisely what Hogg, a child who has been constrained in the village since he was a child, is even less free than his peers.

"Kids at this age are vain, especially boys."

When I just returned to the patriarch's house in the early hours of this morning, Jia Lian asked Mo Tan and others not to tell Hogg about this matter: "But he doesn't even know what kind of fish there are in the stream outside the village. , just like me back then... I made myself into this kind of virtue in self-destructive self-abandonment, and a new life is about to start, I can't let that child be ruined by that kind of depression and inferiority like me!"

Jia Lian clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of firmness.

Mo Tan and the others looked at each other, then nodded in unison.

Since people want to hide merit and fame and build confidence and a sense of honor for their nephew, everyone will naturally not ignorantly expose the unimportant truth. When rushing to the 'death line', I don't know that I am destined to be safe, but the children are really risking their lives.

The pride in the young man's eyes is well deserved, and there is no water in it.

"Well, that's right, Madam Patriarch."

Mo Tan coughed lightly, stood up and said to Jiali Ang seriously: "We have been bothering you for a long time, now that the 'curse' in the blood of the Heipi family has been lifted, it is time for us to say goodbye. "

Hogg whispered: "Ah, Brother Mo, are you going to leave now!"

Children are emotional. Although Hogg is a very smart and precocious child, and knows that Mo Tan and others will not stay here forever, he is still very reluctant to part with these kind and kind "outlander brothers, sisters, grandpas, grandpas". The eyes, which were quite large for a kobold, were flushed at that time.

"Yes, since you, little Hogg, have confirmed that the curse will no longer threaten you, it's time for us to continue our journey."

Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings and jumped in front of Hogg, rubbed the boy's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are going to start a new life with your aunt, and you will help Sister Jialiang to share all kinds of burdens in the future. Oh, little man."

Jadkar also said with a smile: "We will come back to see you when we have time."

"Wang hid two big bones in the room, only this one!"

Yaya took out a large bone wrapped in oil paper from the bag at his waist, and said seriously: "I saved one for Wang Ge! Wang should save some of it!"

"This is for you. It contains some short stories I copied, which are very philosophical, such as "The Two-Headed Ogre Gives Pears", "Three Little Goblins", "Seven Ink and the Forty Thieves", "Fundamental Physics" or something, you can read more when you have time."

Dabs took out a thin booklet and handed it to Hogg, showing a smile that in the eyes of the latter could be said to be devouring: "Become a useful person to society."

Hogg received the manuscript handed over by Dabs, held it in his arms with great care, and nodded heavily with tears in his eyes: "I see! You must come back when you are free! If you are not free, you should also write a letter." Give it to me and my aunt."

"Good to say."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, bid farewell to the aunt and nephew again, and then left the patriarch's house with the two smiling reluctantly.

The sun is shining outside, and the sky is blue.

It's a brand new day in every sense of the word, and it's just beginning.
