Lord Chronicle

Chapter 134 Father and Daughter Love
Under the continuous explosions, the entire yard has completely changed its appearance, and it is in a mess everywhere. Seeing his once beautiful yard turn into this appearance, Sol is so distressed that he wants to die.

At this time, Mira finally picked up the notebook from the ground smoothly.

"Forget it, Hitches won't come after such a commotion," Saul said to Mary.

Mary said firmly: "Impossible, I have a hunch that he will definitely come."

Before the words were finished, a figure rushed in from outside the courtyard and came to Mira's side. Who was it not Hitches?Sure enough, he has been hiding aside, waiting for this opportunity.

"Damn it, you actually use an accelerated scroll." Mary couldn't stop it, so she could only watch Hitches take the note from Mira.

Putting the note in his pocket with great care, Hitches said to Mira, "Mira, thank you, but I'm leaving here soon, and I will make it up to you when I have a chance."

As he spoke, he murmured again with a strange expression: "Strange, who were those guys just now? Why did they try so hard to help me out of the trap? I clearly don't remember hiring them."

"Damn old man, don't go, stop!" Seeing Hitches appearing, Mary rushed to the window angrily.

"Hahaha, girl, I have seen through your tricks a long time ago. You want to catch me? Let's practice a little bit more." Hitches waved the note in his hand to Mary triumphantly.

"Wait, where are you going?" Mary asked loudly.

"Of course I'll find a place that's safer than here, and I won't be coming back again!" Hitches ran out of the courtyard without looking back.

Before he finished speaking, a person suddenly rushed up from behind him and threw Hitches to the ground.Everyone was taken aback, did Mary still have ambushes?

"Huh, Mira?" Hitches quickly turned around, only to realize that it was Mira who was hugging him.

"You, what are you doing?" Unexpectedly, it would be her who stopped him, Hitches was very surprised.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I was just joking just now, I didn't intend to just slip away like this, the food I promised you will definitely be fulfilled."

Mira was not willing to be easily fooled by him, and still hugged Hitches' leg relentlessly.Hitches felt even more anxious when he saw his daughter disappearing from the window.

"Listen to me, let's make a deal, okay? You let me go quickly, and I promise to treat you again, how about it?" He was quick to think, and Hitches increased his bribery.

Mira hesitated a bit. After all, the return of double food is extremely attractive, but if he is let go, will this guy take the opportunity to run away?
Just when Mira was hesitating, Hitches suddenly saw that Mary had opened the door and walked towards her.

This shock was no small matter, and he knew that if Mary caught him, he might be doomed.Shocked, he hurriedly said: "Do you think this is good? Let's go together. As soon as we leave here, I will treat you to a good meal right away. Anything is fine."

At the moment of life and death, Hitches didn't care so much, he asked to get away first, and he didn't consider whether he would have money for a treat later.But Hitches obviously didn't think that his behavior was ten times more dangerous than being caught by Mary. If he really couldn't pay for it later, Mira would definitely not mind being a cannibal again.

After thinking about it, Mira finally seemed to think it was a good idea, and she let Hitches go.Turning over from the ground, Hitches pulled Mira and ran: "Hurry up, don't be caught by that woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hitches' body suddenly stopped, and he didn't move in place.A hand was stretched out from behind, pressing down on the top of his head, and then the owner of this hand walked up slowly and appeared behind him.

"Who did you mean by that woman just now?" Mary asked coldly, condescendingly.

A cold sweat ran across Hitches' cheeks. Suddenly, he turned around and hugged Mary's thigh: "Daughter, I miss you so much..."

"Shut up, it's useless to say this!" Mary unceremoniously kicked him over.

"My lord, we heard an explosion here, what's going on..." At this moment, a chaotic sound was heard, and the defense team who heard the sound appeared at the door.

Afterwards, when they saw the courtyard that had almost completely changed its appearance, everyone was shocked.Kress exclaimed: "How could this be? Who did it, a necromancer? Lulin's army? Or a dragon?"

Mary smiled and waved to the guards: "Don't worry, I just caught a vile and shameless liar. By the way, who brought the rope, can you lend it to me?"

Only then did he see Hitches kneeling there, and Kress was taken aback: "What's going on?"

"Ahem, it's actually nothing, it's just a little accident." Sol coughed dryly, and said to everyone: "Leave a rope, everyone go back."

Before the matter is clarified, Thor does not want too many people to know the identity of Hitches. After all, he is the chief alchemist of the Magicians Guild, who knows what will be involved.

"A small accident?" Kress looked at the courtyard in confusion, as if it had been hit by a meteor shower.

"Kress, just do as the lord ordered." Jessica also spoke.

Although strange in his heart, Kress still obeyed the order to leave a rope, and then led the others to disperse.When the defenders left, Mary grinned grimly, grabbed the rope and slapped it.

"Hey, tell me, how should I celebrate the reunion of our father and daughter?" At this moment, not only in the eyes of Hitches, Sol and Jessica on the side also felt that Mary smiled like a demon.

************************************************** **********************
"Tell me, why did you leave me and hide here alone." Pushing the heavily tied Hitches into the chair, Mary sat down opposite him.

Saul and Jessica sat beside them with gossiping faces. "The story that the chief alchemist of the Magician's Guild and her daughter have to tell", this kind of anecdote does not happen every day, so you must listen carefully.

"My lord, please listen while you eat." Marlene brought tea at the right time.

"Well, so good." Saul patted Marlene's head, then grabbed a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth, looked at Mary, then at Hitches, and waited for the good show to start.

At this time, Hitches smiled helplessly: "I did it for your own good, look, how independent you are now..."

"Shut up, don't use these words to fool me." Mary slapped the table hard.

"I just came home from the college with great difficulty, and you actually had the heart to abandon your own daughter and run to this place where birds don't lay eggs. Tell me, what is it for?" It can be seen that Mary is really serious about being abandoned. It's brooding.

Sol couldn't help but said: "Hey, although my territory is broken, can I not use that adjective..."

Hitches sighed: "You won't understand even if I tell you."

"How will I understand if you don't tell me." Mary snorted.

"Actually, I'm here to study magic." After hesitating for a while, Hitches finally said.

Mary was furious again: "Are you bluffing?"

"What I said is true!" Hitches suddenly became serious, his face flushed like an angry toad.

"You...you...you..." Mary was trembling with anger, and she seemed about to flip the table.

"Calm down, calm down, only dialogue can solve all problems." Thor hurriedly said in fright.

Pulling herself back from the brink of madness abruptly, Mary sat back in the chair and said with a sneer, "Okay, I'd like to hear what's wrong with a top alchemist. I'm going to be a magician."

"Actually, this is my childhood dream, a dream that cannot be realized." Suddenly, Hitches raised his head with a sigh.

I have to say that when the heavily tied Hitches raised his bearded cheeks and his tattered mage robes trembled in the wind, he sighed with emotion, it was really a different kind of vicissitudes.

Even Mary was almost bluffed: "Wh, what dream?"

"Actually, my wish since I was a child was to be a magician." Hitches shook his head slowly, with the helplessness of the past on his face: "However, when I signed up for the magic school with full confidence, they told me that I didn't Not suitable for learning magic."

"No matter how hard I try, they don't want to accept me. Instead, they send me to learn alchemy. You know, what I really want to learn is magic. This is simply trampling on a pure boy's dream, and it is the most unforgivable thing Behavior!" The more Hitches said, the more angry he became.

Sol couldn't help but said: "But... you are the chief alchemist of the Magicians Guild now, isn't that great? If you study magic, you may not be able to achieve such an achievement at all."

Hitches interrupted him bitterly: "What do you know, do you understand the pain when a person has been doing something he doesn't like to do for decades?"

Sol couldn't help being speechless, could this be the legendary mid-life crisis?But even if it's something that he doesn't like, Hitches can do it to the current level. I have to say that he really has extraordinary talent in alchemy. No wonder the teacher at the magic school refused to accept him. No one would. Such a waste of talent.

Jessica was also quite surprised: "That's why you hid in our territory?"

Hitches nodded: "Actually, I wanted to quit a long time ago, but firstly, I had no chance to escape, and secondly, Mary was still studying in the college, so I delayed it. But finally, I waited for the opportunity, and I didn't have to take care of Mary anymore. That’s why I resolutely left the Wizards’ Guild to pursue my childhood dream.”

Sol and Jessica glanced at each other, both dumbfounded. The chief alchemist of the guild hid here incognito. There was no shocking secret or conspiracy. It was just a middle-aged man who was restless The pursuit of a childhood dream?

"What!?" Mary's eyes almost burst into flames: "You left your daughter and ran to this hellish place alone, just for such a goddamn reason?"

Hitches retorted: "You can't say that, you don't understand me at all."

"Oh?" Mary laughed back angrily, but several veins in her temples were trembling slightly: "Then tell me, what's so good about magic that it made you abandon your own daughter?"

Speaking of magic, Hitches looked fascinated: "Does it need to be said, magic is synonymous with nobility, elegance, mystery and power, and is the greatest power on this continent. And alchemy is nothing but a dirty experiment How can it be compared to magic?"

"You... you actually said that?" Mary stared at Hitches in disbelief, and suddenly she was completely enraged.

Stepping onto the table, Mary grabbed Hitches by the collar and dragged him in front of her eyes: "You, you bastard, you actually said such irresponsible words! Do you know why I was determined to be To be an alchemist? That's because I have the best alchemist father. And now, he, my childhood idol, actually told me that alchemy is nothing in his eyes!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly burst into tears: "Why? Why did things become like this? I have always aimed at you, and studied alchemy so hard, thinking that one day I will be affirmed by you. Hard work is nothing in your eyes? You bastard dad..."

Mary, who has always been strong, can cry so sadly, which shows how much Hitches' words have shocked her just now.Jessica walked behind her and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her softly.

"Okay, basically we all know Hitches is a jerk, so just ignore his nonsense." Saul persuaded.

After Sol said this, Hitches quit, and he stared: "What nonsense, in front of magic, alchemy is nothing."

As he said that, he salivated and leaned over again: "It's just right, Mary, don't learn such useless things, just stay in Lovell and learn magic with me. From now on, you will definitely become a great magician second only to me .”

Sol heard that Khan, second only to you?If you do that, Mary's life will be ruined.Alas, it's no wonder Mary has such a bad temper. Whoever has such a bastard father will never have a happy childhood.

Strange to say, after Hitches said this, Mary gradually stopped crying.

Sol and Jessica looked at each other, she wouldn't really intend to listen to Hitches, would she?

With a promising future as a beautiful alchemist at stake, Thor can't just sit back and watch.He hurriedly said: "Mary, think twice, if you really listen to him, the rest of your life will be over."

Hitches was very dissatisfied: "What do you mean by that? Doesn't Mary have a future in learning magic from me?"

Thor is speechless: Not only is there no future, but the whole life will be destroyed...

Suddenly, Mary shrugged her shoulders slightly and actually laughed.She was crying and laughing so that Sol and the others were puzzled, this girl won't go crazy, right?

"Hmph, that's right, why didn't I think of it?" Mary murmured while laughing.

Hitches was overjoyed: "It really is my daughter, come on, untie me quickly, let's plunge into the vast ocean of great magic together."

Ignoring him, Mary continued to mutter: "Saul is right, I shouldn't have listened to that bastard, so as long as I get rid of him, I don't have to listen to his nonsense anymore."

Feeling a chill rise up the back, Saul and Hitches looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Mary?"

"Ah, you bastard who ruined my life, I'm going to kill you!"

Mary suddenly lost her temper. She suddenly took out a magic crystal from her pocket and held it up in her hand. Her fanatical expression reminded Sol of the suicide attackers of his time.

Everyone recognized at a glance that it was a powerful concentrated magic crystal. What would happen if it was detonated here?For a moment, the whole room was in chaos.

"Whoah, calm down, calm down!" This is Thor's cry.

"Marlene, go away!" Jessica yelled at the frightened Marlene, and then tried to snatch the magic crystal from Mary's hand: "Put it down quickly, you will kill everyone."

"Untie the rope for me, I will protect you with magic... oops!" Hitches yelled halfway, but was knocked down by Saul's unceremonious punch: "Shut up, you!"

However, it was obviously impossible for Mary, who was dazzled by the blood, to calm down any longer. She pinched the magic crystal recklessly, and then threw it out of her hand. Suddenly, a burst of red brilliance exploded in the air.

The magic crystal was finally detonated, and everyone lost their souls.At this moment, there was no room for hesitation anymore, Sol put his arms around Jessica and Marlene and threw himself to the ground: "Get down!"

At this critical moment, Hitches, who was tied up, kicked off the chair and flew up, like a dog performing a frisbee, bit the magic crystal in Mary's hand, turned around and rushed towards the window. go.

And at the same time as he turned around, Hitches wrung each other with his hands tied behind him, took off a ring on his left index finger, and threw it to several people.

Mary froze for a moment, her divergent eyes focused again, as if she just remembered what she had done.Watching Hitches run to the window, she screamed, "Daddy!" and was about to rush.

"It's too late, get down!" Saul hugged her calf and forced her to the ground.

Then there was a crash, Hitches smashed the window and jumped out of the house, followed by a loud bang, a violent explosion erupted from the courtyard, a large flame poured into the house along the broken window, and the whole house shook.

In an instant, the whole room was trembling in the hurricane of the explosion. The sofa table and all the furniture were tumbling in mid-air with the impact of the explosion. Countless broken stones and wood boards mixed with dust fell from the sky. The originally good room suddenly became a pile of smoke and dust. ruins.

And if there are outsiders present, they can see that in this chaotic explosion, a white light shrouded the place where Sol and others hid in the room, resisting the impact of the explosion.

After a while, the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated, and the whole room was completely in chaos.A big hole was blasted into the wall of the courtyard, thick smoke was billowing outside, the room was filled with dust, fragments of blasted furniture were everywhere, and ignited fires were attached to the floor and walls, burning.

Fortunately, Hitches rushed outside while biting the magic crystal desperately. Only the rooms and walls near the explosion point were damaged in the entire lord's mansion, and the terrible consequences of demolishing the house did not result. This is a blessing in misfortune.

With a soft sound, a pile of logs on the ground arched up, and the ashen-faced Sol poked his head out: "I, am I still alive?"

"Jessica, Marlene, how are you doing?" Saul glanced blankly at the ruined room, and suddenly lifted the surrounding wooden boards, shouting anxiously.

Jessica and the others were all safe and sound. In fact, the ground around them was not damaged, but was covered by rotten wooden boards. Obviously, this was all due to the ring that Hitches dropped.

Thor picked up the ring, and the spar on the surface of the ring was completely shattered: "This thing saved us?"

"That's a protective ring made by the alchemist himself. It can resist strong attacks." A hand stretched out from the side to grab the ring, and it was Mary.

"No wonder, I said that the house was blown up like this, but we didn't have anything wrong." Sol showed an expression of enlightenment, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Ah, fuck, my house!" Looking at the ruined room, he yelled hysterically.

"Is this dropped by Hitches? What about him?" Jessica asked suddenly.

For a moment, several people fell silent, and Mary couldn't help looking outside the house where the smoke was billowing.Her face changed, and she rushed over there.

"Damned old man, where are you, speak quickly if you are still alive." Mary kept shouting into the yard.

There was a choking smoke outside the house, and nothing could be seen at all. Mary yelled in vain, her voice mixed with the crackling of burning wood around her, making her seem so helpless.

Sol and Jessica also walked to the hole in the wall. If Hitches left them the protective ring, then in such a violent explosion, he might have...

"Mary..." Sol pressed Mary's shoulder, but didn't know what to say.

Turning around slowly, Mary seemed to understand something. Big drops of tears ran down her cheeks, leaving snow-white marks on her dusty face.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooman.whyyoudidyoudothat,the magic crystal is obviously taken out by me. It's..."

Mary's sad crying echoed around, and even Marlene also shed tears.However, what's the use of regretting when things have already happened?
"Good girl, you finally understand my painstaking efforts." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the house.

Before a few people could react, a pair of hands stretched out from the thick smoke, and hugged Mary from behind, followed by Hitches' annoying face.

"You...how could..." Saul looked at him incredulously.

Apparently, like all previous laboratory explosions, Hitches just survived unscathed once again.

"How could such a small explosion hurt me?" Hitches was full of disdain. As far as this miraculous survivability is concerned, it is quite suitable for his status as a top alchemist.

As he spoke, he put his head on Mary's shoulder: "Daughter, are you happy to see me tall?"

"Oh, so you're not dead." Mary's voice trembled a little.

"Of course." Hitches proudly said: "I heard what you said just now, so quickly abandon such useless things as alchemy and learn great magic from me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mary turned around abruptly, staring at him with tear-stained eyes, with a fierce gleam in her eyes.

"Mary, what are you doing?" Hitches took a step back in fright.

"Damn old man, do you know that I was almost worried to death just now?" Mary wiped the tears from her face and walked towards him step by step.

"I'm not dead..."

"Shut up, don't do such a dangerous thing again!" Mary became agitated again, grabbing his collar and shaking desperately.

"Wait a minute, you obviously did the dangerous thing just now... Uh oh, oh, you clearly said that if I was alive, you would not treat me like this again, liar, you are all liars!"

On the side, Sol and Jessica glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. It's really a strange father-daughter love.
