Chapter 38: crisis

Avril did not realize that her heart was being captured.
She likes being with Gong Hao, and her mood changes because of him. This was the first boy she cared about, would care about his thoughts, his feelings, laugh for him, and cry for him.
Her mood fluctuated because of him, and she was completely restrained by the blond boy.
She thought it was friendship because he was her only friend.
But Gong Hao knew that Avril's affection for him had greatly exceeded the scope of friends.
Although she is a princess high above, the girl's heart is lonely, and she has never been a person who can rely on him psychologically. Someone who can make her believe, trust, and be fascinated by it.
In Ai Weier's heart, Gong Hao is like the best combination of a father, brother and lover. Despite her low status, she is an object to rely on. She could talk to him, and the other side would listen quietly.
Sometimes Gong Hao will tell her some stories.
So Avril will be amazed, oh dear, how can there be so many stories in his mind? And each one is so exciting.
He is like a bard, with countless stories and always so philosophical.
"... The king told the messenger that this war cost my country a lot of power, and you must pay compensation. So the arrogant messenger answered: Yes, Your Majesty, we will compensate your land. Then the messenger took For a piece of animal skin, we will compensate you for a place as large as this animal skin. This is a great shame to the king, but at that time, the beautiful and wise queen of the king said with a smile, oh, yes Is that so? I want to thank your country for its generosity. Then guess what she did? "
"What did you do?" Avril asked.
"She picked up the animal skin, cut the animal skin into thin and long ropes with scissors. Then tied all the ropes together, and used it to circle the other country's large area."
"Oh my god, she's so smart."
"Now that the story is over, my little princess, you should sleep."
"I want to hear another one," Avril said suddenly with her big eyes.
Gong Hao scratched his scalp in distress: "Well ... what else do you want to hear?"
"How many more do you have? I want to listen."
"Wow, that's more. My left hand is holding a thousand and one stories, and my right hand is holding more. Should I tell you another story about Aladdin's magic lamp?"
"That's been heard." Avril lay on the gorgeous ivory bed, leaning on a soft round pillow with long hair, and there were two bowls of sweets from the servant on the brocade stool.
A bowl is for myself and a bowl is for Gong Hao.
The night was already dark, and the lights in the room were still shining. The little princess was so fascinated by the story that she refused to let Gong Hao leave.
"So what other story do you want to hear?"
"I want to hear the story of the prince and princess, something very romantic."
"Well, why don't I tell you a Cinderella story again?"
"Ok."
After the story of Cinderella was finished, Gong Hao told her the story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
God knows that Her Royal Highness has never heard so many interesting and touching stories, so much that the more she hears and the more excited she is, she never wants to sleep.
"I want to hear another one." This sentence was the one she said the most tonight.
"This is the last story, and you have to sleep after listening to it." This is the one that Gong Hao told most tonight.
"Then, let me tell you the story of a sleeping beauty. If you promise to be obedient, I will tell you the story of Troy, the story of the beast and the beautiful, and the story of the Wizard of Oz, and the story of Alice in Wonderland. A lot, a lot, how? "
"Okay, okay, the last one, the last one," said the princess, twisting her body. It seems impossible to hear all the stories tonight.
Does he really have thousands of stories? Avril is curious.
After telling the story of Sleeping Beauty, Avril blinked and asked, "Why do every princess need a prince's kiss to wake up after sleeping?"
"Oh, this ..." Gong Hao thought about it, this is really a complicated question: "Sometimes kiss has a magic power, it can do a lot of incredible things."
"As magical as magic?"
"Oh, better than that. The most amazing thing in this world is always human emotions, incomprehensible, elusive, you do n’t really understand your feelings, you ca n’t control it, you can only follow its feelings. Magic at least It can be learned and mastered, and feelings ... you can never learn and master it. "
As if you were rushing to Xiuyi to leave, but could not help but call him back? Avril understood something.
Avril thought for a moment, leaning her head: "Xiu Yi, have you ever kissed?"
Gong Hao shook his head: "No, no. That's a sacred thing."
"Neither do I," Avril said without regret.
She suddenly found herself envious of Snow White and the Sleeping Beauty, because they could get kisses that would make them happy all their lives.
I really want to own it.
She made a decision quickly.
She lowered her head, clutched the quilt with her little hand, and said softly in a mosquito-like voice, "Xiu Yi, kiss me."
This resembled a thunderbolt on Gong Hao's head, almost shocked that he jumped up.
Avril is dissatisfied: "You don't have to be so scared."
Gong Hao looked around, but fortunately, there were only himself and the princess in the room.
"Hurry up and kiss me." Avril urged him.
Gong Hao asked softly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Avril glared at him dissatisfied. It seems that she does not intend to let go of Gong Hao if she does not get this kiss.
Gong Hao bit her scalp up and gently put a kiss on Avril's face.
The kiss was very light, like a dragonfly drenching water, but in the heart of Avril also placed a deep mark.
Avril only felt that her face was burning and sore, oh dear, what was it like? Are you sick? Why is my heart beating so hard?
Her little face turned red.
"This ... Avril, do you know that this kind of thing can't be said right?" Gong Hao was a bit worried, damn, she just kissed a princess, her face was hot, but it felt really good.
"Yes, I know, this is our secret." Avril answered with a blush.
"So, be a sleeping beauty, see you tomorrow."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Gong Hao got up and left.
When he pushed out the door, Ai Weier shrank gently in the quilt with a mosquito-like voice: "Xiu Yi, if one day I would not sleep, I would run over like a white horse prince to save me, use your kiss to save Wake me up, right? "
"... Yes, I will." Hesitated, Gong Hao answered with certainty.
"Will not abandon me again? Not for any reason?"
"I swear I won't, never again."
"That's good ..." Avril closed her eyes contentedly.
Gong Hao sighed and opened the door.
Night, deep and silent.
Gong Hao stood alone in the middle of the castle.
He was a little at a loss.
There are always things that are not under control, and there are always emotions that dissociate from reason. Avril's enthusiasm, innocence, and dependence on herself are rapidly heating up. In this way, there may be many things that will soon appear on their own. Unexpected changes.
This is not what he wants to see.
There is a natural gap between herself and Avril, not only the huge identity difference, but more importantly, her deep-seated hatred for the Reims Empire.
He couldn't forget the dead Thacker, Heather, Biller, and Fink.
Can't forget every dead teenager.
He can't forget that even though he has reached this point with his own efforts, he still has not escaped the threat of death.
But what can you do?
Maybe it's time to prepare for the next plan.
Avril stayed longer this time, because Gong Hao had not found the Warcraft mount she needed for her.
Although everyone can see that the only mount that Avril needs is the little blond boy, not a World of Warcraft that is not at all planned.
Maybe Avril is hoping not to find her mount in this life, so that she can always have this blond boy.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a say in this matter. Hines rejected her desire to take Gong Hao away, so angry that she almost cried on the spot.
The old man didn't even care about comforting His Royal Highness, but just said lightly: "There are many things on Purgatory Island that you don't understand. Go back and ask your father, if he agrees, I don't mind putting Gryer For you. "
Of course, the emperor could not agree. He knew that people who planted spirits could no longer be safely removed. Even if he did not consider the issue of noble bloodlines, he could not make his daughter a widow.
Two days later, Liberty came.
This is the first time that two ships have docked at Purgatory Island.
Gong Hao decided to go to Bailey. He lied to Avril. He told him a good basket and promised to tell her at least ten good stories today.
"Hey, Shuigler, my good friend, I'm so glad to see you again." Bailey called out loud.
He gave Gong Hao a warm hug and asked him to go to the cabin for a drink according to the "old rules."
On the way in, Bailey said to Gong Hao, "I saw the king ship. It seems that our lovely little princess came to Purgatory Island to find her mount again, and told me that she found it?"
"No, not yet." Gong Hao answered.
"I think she has found it." Bailey urged narrowly to run Gong Hao with narrow eyes. "I heard the soldiers of the ship say that the little princess is fascinated with you, she will be with you almost every day, and even go to bed with her You need to accompany her to sleep to coax her before going to sleep. Oh my gosh, you made her maid unemployed. And you even made the little princess angry with you and wept for you, didn't you? It is surprising that you have not received any punishment. "
"The rumors always spread quickly," Gong Hao answered lightly.
"Relax, just pass between your peers, isn't it boring to stay here? Those guys don't have the leaves you gave them, they must have been smoked every day. I guess they can't wait for you to offend the little princess earlier and put The princess ran back from the island. "
"No, I gave them leaves. You know that having a relationship with the princess may not be a good thing. This can cause you a lot of trouble, such as jealousy, which is the most terrible one. So I helped them. I do n’t need to. Make yourself enemies, right? "
"Oh, you know Xiuyi, what I admire most is you. You are always calm, sane, you will be a man, and you will never offend anyone easily. I doubt how with your ingenuity and intelligence you might not find out about the island. What about the little secrets? "Bailey grinned.
Gong Hao was startled, he looked at Bailey: "What do you want to say? Bailey."
Bailey squinted his teeth: "Well, Xiuyi, don't pretend to be silly with me. You know there are many secret transactions between us, and I can't betray you. You just want to live, right? You're here I've been here for almost two years, and you are the only one who breaks through the rules here and becomes an apprentice. I don't believe that with your efforts and wisdom you will not see some strange names. "
Gong Hao paused: "Just because I'm doing well, should I see something?"
"At least there should be doubts. But you have never asked anything about this, so I guess you may have the answer already. So you make every effort ..." Bailey blinked at Gong Hao: " You haven't done anything wrong, you should know that even if you admit it to me, you don't have to be afraid I will expose you. "
Gong Hao looked around cautiously, "What else do you know?"
Bailey smiled proudly: "Sure enough. Rest assured, I don't need to know more, voila, you give us benefits, we will also help you a little bit. As long as you don't make a big mistake, we will not care what you do What do you want to do? "
"Very well, I will give you more good things next month, but you and your friends had better control your mouth. Thank you for your reminder, by the way, I think I understand a very important thing."
Yes, Gong Hao finally understood why Pier has always been cold and warm to himself? Why doesn't he always believe in himself? Damn, I should have realized it. he thinks.
Neil said that as teenagers work longer here and their minds mature as they get older, there are always smart people who will find the problem.
Gong Hao's performance on Purgatory Island is so outstanding that everyone believes that he is a genius.
It makes no sense that such a genius turned a blind eye to what was going on, without any doubt. In private, there have even been servants discussing where the servants were taken away, but in this private group, Gong Hao always does not participate.
However, it turns out that this is not a good way to stay away from suspicion.
That's why Pierre doesn't trust him.
Perhaps the reason why they dare to continue to use themselves now is that they need their excellent work on the one hand, and because they are confident that they can control themselves.
It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. Should I show some suspicion about all of this intentionally or unintentionally?
But would it be too brazen to do that? Would it become rigid because of picking everything up?
No, you can't pick it out. Some things are better understood than clarified.
So what should I do? Perhaps it's time to find out how many people are doubting themselves because of this, and there are no one else besides Pier. Find this out before you can make a decision.
Gong Hao was lost in thought.
Bailey patted his shoulder: "Okay, don't think about it. Complete our transaction first. This is the information you need about Heins and Pier, as for Lancelot, strangely, this person is good It seems very mysterious, we can't find anything about him. But rest assured, we will continue to look for it. I have a friend who works in the Legal Affairs Department, and their noses are always very good, without information they can't find. "
"How powerful?"
"Even the most common hunting dogs can find everything they want based on some clues. There are also some sophisticated wizards who can restore everything that this item has experienced in a period of time through an item. The incident, they call it time backflow. Oh, it's terrible to think about it. If it falls into the hands of those people, you can't keep any secrets. "
Gong Hao's heart jumped slightly: "Isn't there a lot of this kind of person?"
"Of course, the use of time countercurrent consumes a lot and has many restrictions. For example, they can only go back to the time of the day. At least three mages with more than black robes consume all their mana at once. They also need some very valuable media ... ... except in some big cases, they can't use it at will. As long as my friend from the Legal Department is willing to help, it is absolutely fine. "
Gong Hao reached out to receive the materials, but Bailey grabbed his hand, he seriously reminded: "I hope you understand that whether it has been inquired or not yet inquired, it will cost a lot of money. "
"You will get a return, much higher than the return you put in." Gong Hao calmly answered.
Gong Hao replied that he took out a box, which contained all the things Bailey needed to make a lot of money.
Then he came up with a list: "Theoretically I should give you free treatment. But I'm sorry I still want you to help me find these goods and the information I need. That is important to me. Without them I ca n’t make a greater contribution or gain the trust of the master. Now that you know it, you should understand that all I do is to survive better. I ca n’t resist the entire empire. Right? "
"Of course, I will get things for you. I understand your needs as the cost of materials, not the cost of labor, right?" Bailey answered with a smile.
Then he glanced at the list and frowned: "Magic book? Do you want a magic book about soul magic? What do you want that thing to do? Know that it is taboo."
"No to the alchemist. Master Hines has been researching the production of Flesh and Blood, and I am also involved in it. I think that to solve this problem requires the use of soul magic, so I need your help. If I can help Master Hines solves this problem, and I think the master will let me come into contact with alchemy topics that he has not solved. Do you know what the most advanced technologies mean? "
"More money!" Bailey's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
"Well then, I'll get you a copy, though it won't be easy."
"See you next month."
"Don't leave a drink?"
"No, Bailey, you're shocked me today, I'm going back to do some preparations."
"Anyway, Xiuyi, you are a genius. My friends and I appreciate you very much. We hope you will always live and be healthy."
"I hope so." Gong Hao answered with a smile.
