Chapter 587 Licking the dog leads to nothing, shadow’s desire
In the camp on the edge of the island, while waiting for the enemy to arrive, Nono carefully observed the situation in the camp.
There are all women in the camp, ranging in age from teenagers to forty years old. Most of them are in good health, but their faces are a little pale and weak. It seems that there are many people who sell blood in exchange for food.
This is normal. Alush himself doesn’t have a good way to find food, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to help so many people.
Except for Alush, these women all have one thing in common, that is, their hair color is redder. Although it is not as obvious as Nono and Eri, you can still see the difference if you look closely. Among them, Naina's hair color is closest to Nono's.
promise.
After killing the big snake, everyone was obviously in awe of her. Even the spy women Naina mentioned only dared to glance at her secretly, looking somewhat guilty.
Nuonuo was not originally a character who was willing to suffer losses, but when she thought that these women were betraying her information for the sake of subsistence food, it was hard for her to desire revenge.
Naina was indignant about this and felt that this behavior was repaying kindness with hatred, but Nono suppressed her and did not let her go out to cause trouble.
After waiting peacefully for less than half an hour, people from the Holy Palace Medical Association came over.
"Patsy, what are you here for? Are you here to get food? I'll give it all back to you!"
Looking at the person in front of her, Naina was the first to show a wary look and loudly reminded Nono in the room.
Looking at this little girl who was extremely enthusiastic when cheating for food and turned her face away from others, Patsy shook her head and ignored her.
"I didn't come here for this matter, get out of the way!"
"No! This is my home, you are not allowed to enter!"
Naina opened her arms and wanted to persist, but suddenly, Nono's voice came from behind.
"He came to see me, Naina."
Looking at the girl standing at the door, Percy's eyes were completely attracted by the elf-like red hair. Recalling the scene when he first saw the girl, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said as a gentleman
The etiquette bowed slightly.
"Nice to see you again, Ms. Nono."
As if he had guessed what was going on here, he did not call out Nono's full name.
"I didn't expect you to be Passi. It seems that the Gattuso family has not completely lost its power."
Nono nodded slightly and recognized that the person in front of her was the secretary who was responsible for assessing the bride's mental illness.
"Do you still remember me?"
Percy was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up imperceptibly, and his tone was slightly surprised.
"There are very few people in the world who dare to treat me as a lunatic. Of course I will remember you!"
Nuonuo's tone was extremely cold.
She glanced at the girl standing between them and warned.
"Naina, go back to your room and take care of your mother. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, looked down at her little arms and legs, and recalled the power of Nono when she slayed the dragon with one hand. After realizing that she could only hold back here, she chose to believe Nono.
"Then big sister, we are waiting for you to come back!"
"Um."
Nono nodded.
After Naina entered the room, she motioned Patsy to leave with her eyes, and together they came to the edge of the camp.
After reaching the edge, Nono looked around with a surprised look on his face.
"You obviously got my information, but you actually only arranged for you to come here alone. Are you too confident in your own strength, or are you too underestimating my strength?"
If it were in front of Su Mo and the others, Nono was not qualified to say such pretentious words, and just anyone could beat him up.
But in front of other people, Nono's current strength is really not bad. At least when facing Patsy, she doesn't feel that she needs to be afraid. Even if she sees Patsy's golden and blue eyes, she knows that they symbolize danger.
The same goes for bloodline markers.
Dangerous blood does not mean crossing the critical blood limit, it only proves that dragon blood erosion exceeds the normal limit.
In the original work, when Chu Zihang obtained the eternal golden eyes, his combat power was only that of an excellent A-level hybrid.
Hearing Nono's words, Patsy shook his head.
"Miss Nono misunderstood, I'm not here to arrest you, I'm here to negotiate with you."
"ah?"
Nono was stunned immediately.
"Negotiate with me? What is there to talk about between us? Do you want to betray the Gattuso family and join us?"
Nuonuo calculated everything and even prepared for war, but she did not expect that the people from the Holy Palace Medical Association actually wanted to negotiate with her.
With the current disparity in strength between the two sides, she couldn't think of any other possibility besides surrender.
Just when he was about to praise the other party, he said that those who understand current affairs are heroes, but unexpectedly, Patsy shook his head again.
"No, I'm not here to surrender, I'm here to invite you to become a companion!"
Patsy stretched out a hand, his eyes extremely sincere.
"?"
Nono was stunned again.
"The fact that I can appear here proves that Senior Su Mo has found your location. Now that you have lost the protection of the Dragon King, only some hybrids are left. In this case, instead of surrendering, you actually dare to recruit me? Are you crazy?
What?"
She had some doubts about whether this neat and well-groomed secretary had a serious illness in his mind, otherwise why would he say such crazy things.
Regardless of his relationship with the Su-Mo camp, no one is willing to join the national army in 1949 even if it just depends on the outcome!
"I don't mean for you to join the Holy Palace Medical Association, but to join the alliance with me."
"What alliance?"
"I haven't thought of a name yet, but I'm the only one in the alliance currently. If you are willing to join, I can leave it to you to choose a name."
Percy said very honestly.
"..."
Nono suddenly fell silent.
I can't even think of a name, and I'm just trying to trick people here. Is there anyone in the world who is even more insane than me?
Speaking of which, Senior Su Mo and the others seemed to feel this way at first, but with their strength, they shouldn't need to deceive or deceive, right?
Nono, who noticed the similarity, quickly convinced himself in his heart.
Seeing her silence, Patsy waited for a few seconds before asking.
"What is Miss Nono thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how to treat mental illness. Why do you think I'm willing to join an organization like yours?"
Nuonuo complained in a straightforward tone.
"Because we are the same kind of people."
Patsy looked at her quietly, as if he wasn't crazy or joking.
"What kind of person?"
Nono raised his eyebrows.
"The one who hides in the shadows and is unwanted."
Patsy glanced at the room in the camp. After his eyes stayed on Naina and her daughter who looked worried for a moment, they immediately returned to Nono.
"Miss Nuonuo must have already known that you are not the real Chen Motong, but a cloned shadow. They don't know you, and they don't regard you as a relative. In this regard, I am the same."
Su Mo once introduced several commonly used persuasion techniques to Nono. The first step of these methods is often to tell the listener that you and I are the same kind of people, so as to shorten the distance and close the relationship.
Patsy unintentionally used this kind of rhetoric now, but it could be heard that he was really serious about recruiting Nono.
"You mean, you are also a clone?"
Nono asked doubtfully.
He is from the Gattuso family. Could it be said that he is a clone of Caesar?
"No."
Percy shook his head.
"I am a discarded product that was replaced by those who came after me. Although I am not a product of cloning, I was still something that was abandoned at one time. It was only because I had some use value that I was not destroyed."
Between him and Caesar, he was born first.
However, Caesar was the man the family had been waiting for for a thousand years, he was not, and he was given up.
"Is this so..."
Nono nodded slightly.
Although she didn’t know why Patsy suddenly said this to her, even if her experience might be somewhat similar to his, it would be a bit superficial to mention it when they met. However, through the profile, she keenly judged that Patsy did not
Tell lies.
He did want to recruit him sincerely, and he did not have the same intentions as the Holy Palace Medical Association.
This means preparing to go it alone.
"Then what do you plan to do? Before inviting me to join, you should introduce your purpose, right?"
Nono asked.
"Of course... take back everything we should have!"
Patsy's tone was cold, but the emotion contained in it was extremely hot. This was the first time in his life that he showed his heart.
The shade of the trees blocked the light, hiding his face in shadow, but his unquenchable golden eyes illuminated his face.
His expression was as calm as before, but his eyes were shining like will-o'-the-wisps.
"Are we born to live in the shadows? Are we born without parents and can only exist as tools? Are we born to be dogs, never able to control our own lives?"
Having said this, the dark fire that had been burning in his chest involuntarily became intense, and his tone still sounded passionate despite his efforts to restrain himself.
"I just want to tell some people one thing, that is, the shadow can also roar, even cover the clouds and the sun, and change the times! We are born alone, but we are by no means destined to have nothing! The world owes us everything.
You should come back one day!"
After saying that, he slightly raised his hand that had been vacant for a long time and cast an expectant look at Nono.
"Will you come and help me?"
"..."
Nono didn't speak or make any move.
Having been trained by Su Mo in speaking skills, she had already taken the shape of Su Mo in this field. She almost instinctively analyzed the techniques used by Patsy, and was not moved by the violent emotions contained in them at all.
From Passy's words, she understood that Passy seemed to have a lot of resentment towards the Gattuso family, and the accumulated resentment was on the verge of exploding. Even without herself, Passy would most likely take action alone.
But she didn't know where Patsy had the confidence to go against the Holy Palace Medical Association.
Even if he is very good at fighting in the Holy Palace Medical Association, the biggest enemy they face now is not internal but external. Even if he can become the leader of the Nibelungs, senior Su Mo can probably destroy this place with one slap.
.
So, where did he get his confidence?
Regarding Nono's silence, Patsy regarded it as hesitation. He showed great patience towards the woman who passed his assessment and was supposed to become Caesar's fiancée.
"What is Miss Nuonuo hesitating about? Is it because of Dragon King Su Mo?"
"Um."
Nono was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately.
Although she didn't hesitate, she really wanted to know how Patsy planned to deal with Su Mo.
Seeing that he had guessed what Nono was thinking, and recalling what happened in the Horn of God incident, when Nono knew that Su Mo was the Dragon King but still chose to stand with him, a trace of gloom flashed in Percy's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Miss Nuonuo, if you are unwilling to leave because Dragon King Su Mo helped you destroy the Chen family, then you may not know the reason why Dragon King Su Mo saved you. The reason why you were selected among the clones
, the reason why you are treated differently by Dragon King Su Mo is simply because you have the most adaptable Frigga bloodline in your body."
"Just like I was not abandoned because my bloodline advantage can protect the young master of the family, they just saw our use value. If there is no such use value, we will be destroyed at any time. Otherwise, Dragon King
Su Mo will not arrange such a dangerous task for you."
"Unlike them who are born standing in the sunshine, we are born rats in the gutter and may be replaced at any time, so don't think that those tender feelings are given to us. If we lose the value of use, the only thing waiting for us is abandonment."
This time he did not choose to incite emotions, he just revealed the bloody facts and let Nono see it for himself.
After finishing speaking, he raised his palm for the third time and extended the invitation for the third time.
"In this world, we have no father, no mother, and no one trustworthy, but this does not mean that we have to be dogs to survive. Even moths in the darkness will yearn for the light. Although we have no relatives, we have
Companions in the same situation. As long as we join forces, we will definitely be able to take back everything that was taken away from us!"
Faced with such an appeal, I am afraid that even Nono's brothers and sisters, the clones with the most surly personalities and the most fearful of their father, will be tempted to respond to Patsy's idea and join his alliance.
But facing this third invitation, Nono still made no move and even asked a question in return.
"It sounds good, but how do I know that you didn't invite me to take advantage of my bloodline?"
Su Mo had told her about Frigga's bloodline, but he didn't tell her the specific usage, so she was curious about it and wanted to know what its use was.
Unfortunately, Patsy didn't intend to reveal this top-secret information. He planned to use another way to get through.
"I am willing to swear that I will never put Miss Nono in danger."
Patsy spoke immediately.
"With your profiling skills, you should be able to tell that I didn't lie."
"..."
After profiling, Nono looked at Patsy in great surprise and nodded with a strange look on his face.
She could indeed confirm that Patsy was not lying to her, and by the way, she also profiled why he would take the initiative to invite her.
But after knowing this, it made her even more strange.
It's just the second meeting. Why does this guy like me?
Could it be said that this is love at first sight?
But does she have such charm that people can spot her at first sight? If so, why did Senior Su Mo never mean this to her?
She remembered that when they first met, she had just been diagnosed as mentally ill by the Gattuso family's test questions, right? Does this guy like mental illness?
"Ahem!"
Noticing Nono's strange expression, Patsy stiffened, and then realized that he seemed to have been seen through by Nono.
After clearing his throat, he tried his best to regain his usual composure and asked.
"What do you mean, Miss Nono?"
"Sorry, I don't have this idea at the moment."
Nono still shook his head to express his refusal.
"No matter what, I will not consider betrayal until I have repaid my debt to Senior Su Mo."
Here, what she didn't say was that in her heart, Su Mo's kindness could never be repaid.
"Is that so? I understand."
Upon hearing Nono's third rejection, Patsy unexpectedly did not become angry on the spot, nor did he intend to use force to solve the problem. He retracted his hand very simply and bowed to apologize in an elegant manner.
"Sorry to disturb you. However, if you want to understand at any time and are willing to join my alliance, you can come to me at any time. This door to freedom will always be open to you."
After saying that, he took out a golden badge engraved with the World Tree in full bloom from his pocket and handed it to Nono.
"With this, Miss Nono can find me at any time, but be careful not to enter the restricted area and don't let the elders find you here. This is very dangerous for you."
After saying what he wanted to say, Patsy left respectfully without any further entanglement.
When his back disappeared into the jungle, a familiar voice suddenly sounded next to Nono.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, lick the dog, lick the dog, lick until the end, there will be nothing left!"
"..."
Nuonuo looked down at the sudden appearance of Lu Mingze, slightly speechless. She was already used to the way this guy appeared randomly.
"What are you doing? I didn't see you when we were fighting just now. If it weren't for Eri Yi's weapon, I might not have been able to solve it easily. Didn't Senior Su Mo say you were my bodyguard? Why did you do it at such a critical moment?
It’s useless?”
Thinking of the battle just now, she couldn't help but complain.
Isn't this guy here just to fish?
Hearing what Nuonuo said, Lu Mingze also showed an expression of great disgust.
"Does this count as fighting? With a half-step god-level weapon and an alchemy tool forged by Su Mo himself, if you can't defeat a small snake, then you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it.
With such a disparity in combat power, do you still want me to take action?"
After making a mockery, he glanced in the direction of the center of the island and changed his words.
"Besides, it's not like I have nothing to do. These guys are more timid than I thought. If we don't make some arrangements, and if we let them execute the plan before Su Mo completes the forging, there may really be trouble."
Although he didn't understand what Lu Mingze did, through profiling, Nono also learned that he did not do nothing.
"Okay, what should we do next? Mom only needs to take her out with Naina. Patsy didn't seem to want to reveal the plan just now. Are we going to find another breakthrough?"
Nono asked.
Lu Mingze knew more than she did, so she still had to listen to him when making decisions.
It's a pity that this kid is not reliable, like now.
"The planning is not urgent for the time being. I am more curious about what happened just now than this."
Lu Mingze looked at Nono with interest.
"Why didn't you agree to his invitation just now? Maybe what Percy just said is right. Su Mo and I do care about the Frigga bloodline in you. Aren't you worried that we are just using you and throwing it away after using it?
One side?"
Hearing this, Nono sighed helplessly.
"Not to mention that Senior Su Mo would never do this, and not to mention the self-defense measures that Senior Su Mo, Xia Mi, and Eri prepared for me before leaving, even when Senior Su Mo first extended a helping hand to me
There is indeed an identity factor, but so what?"
"I am willing to accept Senior Su Mo's invitation and am willing to believe in Senior Su Mo. Isn't it just because Senior Su Mo has strong power and a strong spirit and is willing to lead me out of my confusion?"
"If Senior Su Mo wanted to use me, then why wasn't I also using Senior Su Mo's power in the first place? Could it be that with this trivial excuse, I can easily erase Senior Su Mo's kindness to me?"
As she spoke, she looked back at her mother's cabin.
"Not to mention, so far, Senior Su Mo has never broken his promise to me. This alone is beyond the reach of ordinary parents. It is the realm of gods!"
Regardless of whether he has strong power or not, in her heart, Su Mo's position is almost equal to that of a god.
"... What a fanatical speech. If you had said that just now, someone would have been heartbroken and would have had to wipe their tears while sleeping at night."
Lu Mingze gloated.
When Su Mo complained that his brother was a dog licker, he felt aggrieved. When it was his turn to ridicule others for being a dog licker, he finally understood how good it felt.
"So, you have someone you trust, and you don't think you and Patsy are the same kind of people. That's why you rejected that guy?"
"……not completely."
After hesitating for a moment, Nono shook his head and spoke frankly.
"Actually, regardless of whether he and I are the same type of people, I will never join his camp... Even if all his malicious speculations about Senior Su Mo come true, so what? I am under the guidance of Senior Su Mo
A person who has just stood up, even if he is a dog, he is still the dog of Senior Su Mo, how can he be so unworthy that he is bewitched by an enemy he does not know?"
"The right to stand in the sun may indeed be very precious to a shadow, but I have already given up this kind of thing once for my mother, and I don't mind giving it up again for senior Su Mo."
From the beginning, Nono was not interested in Patsy's goal of "taking back everything he deserves."
What she wanted was never these flashy things.
"..."
Lu Mingze asked casually.
After hearing Nono's answer, he fell into a long silence.
After a while, he sighed angrily.
"This is why I can't hate you!"
It was clear that she was a woman who might cause his brother to suffer, but she was so similar to him in this respect that it was difficult for him to really feel any ill feelings towards her.
Is there some strange dog-licking gene in the Black King's bloodline?
