Chapter 9 Mortals on the Altar
"I'm really grateful." Regarding Zheng Ding's choice, Lei Zaisi was not surprised, "As long as I can save Nana's life from the villain, even my entire net worth, Lei Zaisi, can be given away.
To you, little brother!”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Ding didn't even raise his eyelids: "I don't know how to do business. Wouldn't it be a pity if the family fortune you worked so hard to save was lost all at once."
Lei Zaisi was really surprised this time: "I just heard you mention what magic circle you were looking for. Although I don't know what it is, I will use all the resources at my hand to find out for you. As soon as there is news, I will
I'll let you know as soon as possible!" Repaying without paying has never been a businessman's style. Lei Zaisi still found his own slight value in this transaction in the conversation between the two.
"That's great!" Zheng Ding and Yan Huixue cheered in unison, and then explained the Lan Realm and the teleportation circle to Lei Zaisi in detail.
"The world is really full of wonders!" Lei Zaisi couldn't hide his surprise, "No wonder Miss Yan's moves are so novel, it turns out to be magic!"
"By the way, Mr. Lei! You said there is no way to defeat the dragon in the memoirs, why don't you make it clear to them?" Zheng Ding always had doubts about this.
Yan Huixue also had the same confusion. After hearing Zheng Ding's first suggestion, she quickly pricked up her ears to hear Lei Zaisi's explanation.
Lei Zaisi smiled slightly, stood up and went to the bookshelf. He freed up one of the books in one of the shelves and fiddled with the edges. A secret compartment appeared on the wall behind that shelf. Lei Zaisi took out the books in the secret compartment.
A hand-bound book was blown off the dust on the surface and placed on the coffee table in front of Zheng and Ding: "This is the memoir left by my grandfather. You might as well take a look at it first."
"But...is it okay?" There has been a life-and-death fight outside for this memoir, and some people have even died because of it. But at this moment, Lei Zaisi just handed it to them to read, as if he had taken a book from the newspaper rack.
The newspaper was so casual, Yan Huixue couldn't believe it.
Lei Zaisi smiled faintly: "Aren't books just for people to read?"
For this reason, the two of them were no longer polite. Zheng Ding immediately grabbed the memoir and turned a page at will. Just as the book was opened, the two of them were surprised at the same time. Even if their brain intelligence was 100%
The two of them would never have imagined that a brave man who had been baptized by the fire of war, a hero who defeated the evil dragon, and an idol in the hearts of countless Chinese people, would leave his only work to future generations, actually a comic book!
Lei Zaisi, who had expected this reaction from the two of them, sighed softly: "You didn't expect it, right? Compared to fighting heroes, grandpa actually prefers to be a cartoonist, but unfortunately his talent is not high.
After becoming famous, the burden of a hero is too heavy. Grandpa has never dared to make his painstaking work, this memoir, public. Considering grandpa’s feelings during his lifetime, we in the Lei family have never taken the initiative to mention the memoir.
.”
The two of them casually flipped through a few more pages. Lei Guang's artistry was really mediocre. All the characters had the same face, and to distinguish them, they had their own names on their foreheads. If he didn't have great talent, it was Lei Zai.
It's just a humble word to give your ancestors face, but you clearly have no talent, okay?
Zheng Ding couldn't bear to look at it, but Yan Huixue remembered the plot of slaying the dragon. She suppressed the feeling of vomiting and searched for relevant pictures page by page. Finally, she found this part about 2/3 of the way.
There are only two frames in the process. In the first frame, a person and a dragon are facing each other, with the word "I" written on the person's head. In the second frame, the person with the word "I" written on his head has a sword in his hand, and the dragon's
The head has fallen to the ground.
Yan Huixue was so shocked that she had nothing to say. Thinking about the two alienated people who were trying to seize the treasure, they had done so many things for nothing.
After getting this graffiti, Yan Huixue actually felt a little sympathy for them.
Zheng Ding seemed to have become a character in a comic, with a big word "囧" on his forehead: "Mr. Lei, I understand you. If this book gets spread... the consequences will be disastrous."
Lei Zaisi took the matter lightly: "Actually, the so-called dragon-slaying hero is just an ordinary person. Letting the outside world see his works is what grandpa has always wanted to do but did not dare to do.
.Originally, I wanted to publish this memoir long ago, but Nana refused, and even chose to confront the aliens head-on when threatened. Young people are always more energetic."
No wonder Lei Nana always had a sullen and cold expression along the way. It must be because of Zheng Ding's display of alienated human strength that everyone clearly realized that the so-called masters she recruited could not protect them at all.
A complete home.
"Does Mr. Lei want to make it public?" Yan Huixue looked at Lei Zaisi in disbelief, "If we really do this, what will happen to Mr. Lei's reputation as a hero..."
Lei Zaisi nodded solemnly: "But that is the real grandpa. I think that compared to a statue on the altar, a human being with flesh and blood can win the respect from the heart of others. Besides, I am so
To put it bluntly, it is for self-protection. As long as the secret of the memoirs is not made public, our Lei family will never have peace." A very spineless sentence came out of Lei Zaisi's mouth, but there was no sense of cowardice at all.
"Okay, it's getting late. You two should have a good rest first. We'll have to rely on you in the next few days! I'll have the kitchen prepare some good dishes for you two in the evening!" Lei Zaisi said as he spoke.
Slowly walked to the door, opened the door and shouted, "Gillian!"
Zheng and Ding also wisely got up and followed Lei Zaisi. As soon as they left the room, they received a murderous look from Lei Nana.
"Miss Nana! You haven't left yet? Did you wait for me here specifically?" As soon as he saw Lei Nana, Zheng Ding immediately became glib.
Lei Nana snorted coldly, biting Zheng Ding's ear and asked: "What conditions did dad give you before you would help us?" Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Lei Zaisi and Zheng Ding, Lei Nana asked
He also guessed that Zheng Ding had agreed to help. But what price the Lei family had to pay to get his help was what he cared about most. The predicament the Lei family was in now, as long as they had experienced the battle at the snack bar
Everyone could see that it would not be surprising for Zheng Ding to resort to any kind of blackmail at this time, not to mention that the two sides had fought a lot.
"Mr. Lei promised to help us find out some information." Zheng Ding bit back at Lei Nana's ear.
Lei Naina was stunned when she heard this. She asked for help. There was no agreement that she must find out something. This kind of promise is actually equivalent to no promise. Who knows whether the other party will really help. When the time comes, she only needs to say "I have tried my best."
” can completely shift the responsibility.
Just as Lei Nana was standing there in a daze, the maid named Gillian had already trotted all the way to a few people, respectfully waiting for Lei Zaisi's instructions.
Lei Zaisi coughed lightly: "Prepare two guest rooms and take the two distinguished guests to rest!"
Zheng and Ding had followed Gillian and walked away, while Lei Nana was still standing motionless. Suddenly, she was lightly tapped twice on the shoulder, causing her to jump up in fright.
"Perhaps it was your great-grandfather's secret protection that sent these two people here. Our Lei family is finally saved." Lei Zaisi's relieved voice rang in his ears.
The father and daughter stood quietly in the corridor until the servants brought the news that the dinner party was about to begin.
The dinner was arranged in Lei's luxurious hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. Except for Zheng Dinger,
People, all the invited masters were also invited. When Zheng Ding and Yan Huixue appeared at the main entrance of the hall with lazy steps, the hall immediately exploded, and the masters rushed forward.
The perverted master who was vying to get close to Zheng Ding and who had tortured a group of his own to pieces in the afternoon suddenly became teammates in the same trench. Such exciting news did not have to wait for Lei Zaisi to announce it in person.
It spread to everyone's ears. Although with such a strong teammate, there is no need to think about ten times the commission, but after experiencing the battle in the afternoon, who would dare to dare to challenge the alienated man alone.
"Brother Ding, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen in my life, and you are my idol!"
"Miss Yan, your magic is so awesome. Can you teach me how to pour different drinks from a teapot?"
The masters surrounded Zheng Ding and the two, and they flattered each other one after another. The scene was so lively that it actually made the two masters of the Lei family, father and daughter, seem a bit redundant.
"Brother Ding, you played so handsomely this afternoon! I wonder if you would mind taking me in as your younger brother?" A middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties flatteringly held Zheng Ding's hands and said.
"Wow! Fujihong, are you still shameless? Why does Brother Ding accept you as his younger brother? Why should he accept you as our brother? Brother Ding and we are actually strangers before we fight." Although the Hao brothers were full of worries,
Despite the bandage, he still struggled to squeeze into the crowd to defend his "first right to get acquainted" with Zheng Ding.
"Are you the only ones who have fought against Brother Ding?" Fujihong was very unconvinced, "I even penetrated Brother Ding's nostrils!"
"What?" Zheng Ding heard this and grabbed Fuji Hong's collar. "It turns out to be you! I finally found you!"
Just when everyone thought Zheng Ding was about to erupt, Zheng Ding suddenly patted Fuji Hong on the shoulder: "Next time, remember to wash your hands after touching the chili peppers. Madeleine will kill me!"
Fujihong nodded in agreement in embarrassment.
Suddenly, Zheng Ding looked around at the masters surrounding him and asked with confusion: "Why didn't you see the swordsman who took the lead in a duel with me?"
Someone in the crowd immediately responded: "Brother Ding, are you talking about Zhen Zhen? When he heard that Brother Ding was coming, he ran away early in the morning on the pretext of a stomachache! Haha!" Ever since Zhen Congxin made a fool of herself under Zheng Ding,
His image in the eyes of his companions plummeted, and even his name was changed to Zhen Zang.
"What an alien! In my eyes, you are no better than a fly!" Another person stood up and mocked, imitating Zhen Congxin's cold tone.
"Zhen · Domineering Sky-Splitting Slash!" Suddenly a loud shout made the noisy hall fall into silence. When everyone realized that someone was still pretending to be imitated by Zhen Congxin, the whole hall burst into laughter again.
Zhen Congxin indeed slipped out to avoid Zheng Ding. Perhaps because she was still haunted by the battle that ruined her reputation, she unknowingly came to the door of Lao Qiao's snack bar.
It was lunch time, and Zhen Cong dove in without thinking. Qiao Buzi in the store seemed to be about to go out. When he saw him coming in, he raised his hand and pushed him out unceremoniously, with a rather serious tone in his tone.
Somewhat impatiently: "Go, go, go! We won't do business today!"
Zhen Congxin is simmering with anger and nowhere to vent her anger. I can't beat Zheng Ding. You, a small snack bar owner, dare to show off to me. I must teach you a lesson today. I immediately drew my sword and struck:
"Are you looking for death? Do you know who I am?"
Qiao Bu privately squinted his eyes and looked at Zhen Congxin, his slightly anxious face squeezed out a smile: "I really didn't know who you were at first, but now that you are so famous, how can I not know you? I heard that you
Isn’t it called Zhen Zhen?”
"Coward your sister!" Zhen Congxin took a step forward and swung her sword towards Qiao Busu, "Zhen Leiqie!"
