After receiving a heavy beating, Raymond stopped complaining this time and quietly slipped back to the "Giant Hotel".
In the hotel, before the other members of the "ghost group" came back, Raymond was sitting alone in the room meditating.
But I don't know why, I always feel restless and can't get into the state for a long time.
This was the first time he encountered a bizarre situation where he was affected by foreign objects during meditation. Even if he didn't think about anything, Ilya's unparalleled beauty would still appear in his mind from time to time.
"Why do I always feel thirsty? Hiss...it's so weird. It's just a little girl's movie, why do I always think of her..."
"Is it possible that there is some kind of magic? No, the system didn't prompt..."
"Could it be some high-level charm technique that can avoid system prompts?"
...
After Raymond left, the battle in the city broke up shortly after.
[Death Song Poet] Lur knew he was outmatched, so he didn't continue to fight and used his shield to escape.
As for the two captains of the Eight Emperors Squadron, it was impossible for them to decide whether to live or die with a big snake. Seeing that the people they wanted to protect were all fine, they began to think about retreating.
What's more, the newly promoted "King Shichibukai" in front of us is so powerful that people can't figure it out.
If you really want to be tough, the two captains of the Eighth Emperor level really don't have much confidence.
And if they fight with all their strength, the noise will definitely be huge, and it may involve a large-scale war between the two pirate groups.
At this juncture, the situation in the city of Jaffatron is treacherous, and no one wants to make any big noise when the situation is unclear.
None of the three warring parties wanted to fight, so they pretended to fight a few times and then ran away.
There was no excitement anymore, and the melon-eaters dispersed one after another.
...
Perhaps he sensed that the battle had subsided, and thinking that Ilya had escaped safely, the last trace of worry disappeared.
Raymond, who was meditating, suddenly became calm.
Strangely enough, as soon as the fighting stopped, he immediately fell into a state of concentrated meditation.
Immerse yourself in cultivation and time flies by.
I do not know how long it has been,
Raymond suddenly closed his eyes and meditated, and his nose suddenly shrank, as if he smelled something.
The air is orchid, like a girl's body fragrance, but it also has a sultry and charming charm. It smells neither strong nor light, just right.
"Hey...where does the fragrance come from?"
Raymond has now entered the "fugue state" and his perception is very sensitive. Even if he is in deep meditation, he can wake up instantly if there is any strange movement around him.
But even though this fragrance hit his nose, he didn't feel anything strange at all. It was like a dream. It was as if when he was young and full of vitality and blood, he dreamed of the infinite spring breeze and the feeling of warming the bed, like falling into a gentle hometown.
But now that his extraordinary rank is higher, his mind is getting stronger, and his sun is strong, how can he easily have such a sweet dream again?
"That's weird, could it be the fragrance in reality?"
When Lei thought of this strange thing, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he was startled!
Because he was horrified to find that there was a big living person just a short distance away, but he didn't feel it at all?!
However, that moment of shock also dissipated in an instant.
What comes into view is a flawless and pretty face, staring at me with a smile on her face. All kinds of charm are reflected in the smile on her brows. This is a delicate and beautiful woman...
Looking again at those beautiful, watery eyes, it’s not the Ilya I’ve just seen before, who is it?
Ilya looked at Raymond's dazed look, chuckled, and said proactively: "Ah...Uncle, have you finished meditating?"
Raymond felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak. He stood up and asked, "Ilya, when did you come?"
"I've been here for a while."
Ilya blinked and said, "I saw you were meditating, uncle, so I didn't bother you."
"..."
Raymond's eyelids twitched and he secretly cursed himself for being too careless.
If the person coming was an enemy, I wouldn’t even know how I died.
But then again, how high is this girl Ilya’s cultivation now that he didn’t notice her entering the house at all?
Eh...that's not right, the Giant Hotel has high-level restrictions.
He asked quietly: "Isn't this room restricted by door security? How did you get in?"
Ilya said: "Sister Anna gave me the key..."
Raymond always felt something was strange and asked: "Have you met Anna?"
"OK!"
Ilya nodded obediently.
As she spoke, there was a hint of eccentric cunning in her eyes, and she added meaningfully: "Sister Anna also asked me to keep my voice down, saying it was midnight and it would disturb everyone's rest."
"..."
Raymond held his forehead and exhaled slightly. These words really seemed like what Anna would say.
However, the devilish girl in front of me has a much more sophisticated way of seducing people.
He turned his head and looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, guessing that it was probably midnight. Only then did he realize that he had been "night-attacked" by this girl?
"oops..."
A coy cry.
Just when Raymond was completely caught off guard, Ilya suddenly jumped over and hung on Raymond's neck like a koala. He said coquettishly: "Uncle... I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
.”
After saying that, the girl gave another smack without any politeness and kissed Raymond on the cheek.
Such an intimate scene is like the parting scene at the Black Sea.
To this day, Raymond still clearly remembers the way she cried until the rain was like pear blossoms.
If you think about it carefully, it has been more than two years since we said goodbye.
Ilya didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding suspicion. She even hung on Raymond's arm without intending to get off. She asked: "Uncle, do you miss me?"
"You are a big girl now, can you stop acting like a child..."
Raymond pursed his lips and muttered.
As a last resort and fearing that she would fall, he could only reach out to hold her slender waist. His hand was as smooth as soft jade.
"Hmph! How do I look like a child?!"
Ilya pouted and was very dissatisfied.
The girl didn't stop. She watched Raymond hug her and didn't shy away. She moved up and sat on his hand.
This time, I had a firm grip.
Raymond could really appreciate that curvy figure.
Two years ago, Raymond still regarded Ilya as a little girl. Even if he behaved more intimately, he was just like the girl next door, and there was no disturbance in his heart.
But now... there is nothing "little" about this graceful beauty in my arms?
There was a little distance before, so Raymond felt that the "charm" was not too strong, but now he was holding this person in his arms, and the feeling of being attracted by the super high "charm value" came like a tide.
Finally, he understood where the dry mouth feeling came from.
This is a... annoying little goblin.
She could be ignored in the airport before, but now she can hit people with the ball. How can Raymond treat her like a little girl in a movie anymore?
Huh...
At this moment, a strange perspective of an onlooker suddenly appeared in his mind: Is this girl Ilya planning to steal Anna's reputation as the number one headlight in the "Ghost Pirates"?
Raymond didn't know why, but when he saw the huge contrast between the graceful figures, an unbelievable thought always came to his mind.
It's only been two years since we last met, why has she changed so much?
"Hey, hey...Uncle, where are you looking?"
Elijah squinted his eyes and stared at Raymond maliciously.
She keenly caught the lustful gaze that was aimed at her breasts just now.
snort!
You used to dislike me for being young, but now you actually dare to "question" this girl's true qualities?
This girl was not happy anymore. She jumped off Raymond, straightened her chest, and asked quietly: "Hey, hey, uncle, can you explain what's going on with that 'questioning' look in your eyes?"
?!"
Forget it if you peek secretly... but you still have doubts!
snort!
"..."
How could Raymond dare to say this? He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "This girl really doesn't shy away from suspicion at all."
"Is this true?!"
Ilya looked unreasonable and puffed up his chest.
This makes the beautiful figure outlined by the tight cheongsam even more "explosive".
"Oh...uncle, what do you mean by that look in your eyes? You don't believe it?"
After saying that, she was still not relieved. She took Raymond's hand and boldly tried to verify it. She said unceremoniously: "If you don't believe me, just touch it and see for yourself?!"
"..."
Raymond had always felt that his concentration was pretty good, but now...it seemed like the spring breeze was rippling, and the waves were slightly rising.
He glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
It is obvious that her blue gold snake pattern cheongsam has a graceful and luxurious style. The high slit and lace gauze dress are sexy and mature. No matter how you look at it, she should be a quiet and intellectual beauty.
But this girl always looked weird when she saw her.
People and temperament have changed a lot, but this character... really hasn't changed at all!
"Cough cough cough..."
Raymond stopped "doubting" the authenticity of the majestic one. He coughed twice and asked: "By the way, Ilya, why did you become a Shichibukai?"
"..."
Ilya rolled his eyes at him, obviously not interested in this abrupt change of topic.
But there was also an imperceptible hint of joy in her watery, beautiful eyes.
She pursed her lips and spread her hands to explain: "Because I found that the matter I was investigating was closely related to the World Headquarters. Only by contacting the top leaders of the World Headquarters can I have a chance to get closer to the truth. And I can't join the navy, so I can only
Try being a Shichibukai..."
"Oh, that's how it is..."
Raymond was thoughtful.
Although Ilya never said what she was investigating, he could probably guess something.
God Nix is the last recorded god in the world of navigation. It is definitely not simple when it comes to things of that level.
Since Ilya didn't explain much to him, Raymond didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
Then, he asked again: "Ilya, why did you come to 'Gaffatron' again?"
In fact, no need to ask, he probably guessed the reason.
But I have never seen this girl not follow the routine at all.
Hearing this, Ilya's eyebrows curved and he smiled brightly and said: "Because I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you, uncle. So I came here to see you..."
After a pause, she added: "But uncle, you are making rapid progress... I have been paying attention to your news."
"oh..."
When Raymond heard what she said, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
In fact, he himself would occasionally think of Ilya, but what came to his mind was still the carefree little girl back then. Thinking of some of the happy days they had together in the past, he would occasionally smile.
But this familiar lady in front of me...
Forget it, I don’t dare to think about it, my thoughts will go astray uncontrollably whenever I think about it.
It is impossible to look at her with the same calm attitude as before.
"Uncle seems to miss me too..."
Elijah obviously caught the gentle smile in Raymond's eyes and asked, "Really?"
Raymond didn't hesitate and nodded: "Yes."
"Hehe...I knew you would miss me too, uncle."
Although there was only one simple word, Ilya still smiled happily after hearing this.
At this moment,
She brought back the topic just now and said with some solemnity: "Of course, as the 'Ocean Shichibukai' recruited by the World Headquarters, I must have some special tasks this time. However, I signed a contract
I signed a 'gag contract', so I can't say too much..."
She thought that Raymond didn't know the situation in the country of giants, and wanted to remind him of the seriousness of the matter.
She thought that at least if she was here, Raymond wouldn't be harmed.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Raymond didn't have many surprises.
The Shichibukai must have been recruited for war.
He understands the current situation in the Kingdom of Giants better than most people. Even if Ilya doesn't tell her the purpose of coming, Raymond can easily guess that she must be here for the "Great Qing Suppression Operation".
The two of them chatted and reminisced about the past.
After not seeing each other for more than two years, the two indeed have a lot to say.
But it was mostly Ilya who was speaking, asking questions, while Raymond listened quietly.
When she talked about herself, she mostly spoke in an understatement. When she mentioned the news about Raymond, she excitedly asked questions... as if she wanted to make up for the memory of the two years apart.
Of course, Raymond could hear the danger in that understatement.
In the past two years, she went from the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army to the World Headquarters, and then became the "Shichibukai". The dangers involved must not be as calm as she showed.
When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, you will feel the deep affection in the house.
Unknowingly, the two of them talked for a long time all night long.
...
The early morning sunlight poured into the room, and golden threads shone on Ilya's face, making her already stunningly beautiful face even more radiant and holy.
"Uncle, I have to leave. I still have a mission to report to the Navy... Remember, you have to become stronger quickly, and I will go on sailing adventures with you in the future..."
Elijah took Raymond's hand and walked out of the room.
She is the "King Shichibukai", so naturally it is impossible for her to hang out with a pirate group for a long time.
Raymond didn't know why, but after talking all night long, his thoughts became more serious. He always felt that this girl was burdened with too many responsibilities, and he himself could not help at all.
...
Unfortunately, as soon as they went out, they bumped into Anna who was bringing breakfast.
The beautiful sailor lady looked at the two Raymonds with a smile, her beautiful eyes full of ambiguity, and asked: "Oh... did you still have a good time getting along last night?"
