Chapter 132: People live up to me, I don't let others
More than half a year has passed.
After traveling through the Kingdom of Bucharest, the Principality of Loria, and the Kingdom of Delgada, William and Tom still found nothing, not even a golden apple.
William's face was stern, while Tom lost his previous high spirits and looked discouraged.
If William hadn't been encouraging him, Tom wouldn't have had the courage to continue.
Finally one day, William and Tom came to a deep forest.
The weather was hot at this time, and Tom was very hungry, thirsty, and very tired.
After obtaining William's consent, he found a large tree with leafy branches and lay down under the tree, preparing to take a good rest.
William also came over, planning to repair it too.
Suddenly, William's face was startled for no reason, and he looked at the top of the big tree with complicated eyes.
Tom felt strange and asked, "Lord Zorro, what did you see?"
Before William could answer, Tom heard the crows of crows and the rustling of branches above his head.
"Good-hearted human beings, we flew across the sea and finally found the golden apple at the end of the world and picked it for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three crows landed in front of William and Tom. One of them held a golden apple in its talons.
Compared with the handsome men before, these three wind crows now look very embarrassed, with messy feathers and various small wounds.
Tom suddenly felt distressed, "Poor little guys, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?"
The crows couldn't understand what Tom said, but just in time, the crows talking to themselves solved Tom's questions.
"Well-meaning humans, other humans are so mean! Those very vicious humans, we didn't do anything. As soon as they saw us, they attacked us in various ways. Even though there was a whole golden apple tree, they were still so stingy. A piece of gold
No apples were given to us! Fortunately, we were smart and seized the opportunity to secretly pick this golden apple!"
"But those bad humans called more bad humans, and we couldn't find a chance to pick the second one, so we only have this golden apple!"
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Tom was so moved that he couldn't help but say thank you!
"Kind humans, we are going to rest in our lair! We are too tired to help you find this golden apple!"
"I want to sleep well for three days and three nights!"
"Me too!"
Said the three crows, threw the golden apple to Tom, flapped their wings, and flew away.
Tom waved goodbye to them!
William's expression changed, and he didn't care about being exposed. He shouted at the three wind crows, "Where did you find the golden apple?"
However, the three wind crows left without looking back.
William's face sank, and he stood still, his expression gloomy and uncertain.
"Lord Zorro, what's wrong?" Tom asked worriedly from the side.
"Nothing!" William shook his head and said nothing.
Tom said "Oh" and stopped paying attention. Instead, he focused on the golden apple in his hand.
Golden apples really look like apples made of gold. When you pinch them, they feel softer. When you smell them, you feel an indescribable fragrance.
Tom felt that Windcrow would not deceive him and determined that this golden apple was the fruit of love that Princess Elisa was looking for!
He grinned widely from ear to ear, and kept mumbling, "Beautiful Princess Alyssa, I can finally marry you! Just wait for me! I will go back soon!"
At this time, the word "joy" could no longer describe Tom's mood. He was so excited that his lips trembled.
William's eyes were dark, and he slowly walked over and came to Tom.
The shadow of his body covered Tom. Tom came back to his senses and saw William. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Lord Zorro, thank you for helping me so much along the way. Without you, I wouldn't have known it."
What will I be like today? Master Zorro, I don’t even know how to repay you!"
William was silent for a moment and sighed, "Tom, what if I want you to repay me with this golden apple?"
"...Lord Zorro, are you kidding me?" Tom's face froze and he asked William with an ugly expression.
William shook his head and said in a low tone, "No! Tom, you know I have been looking for this thing for a long time, a long time! It is of great significance to me!"
"This..." Tom suddenly fell into a battle between heaven and man.
Indeed, Tom also knew about William's search for the golden apple.
And William really helped him a lot along the way, and it can even be said that he saved his life.
But on the other hand, the golden apple is related to whether he can marry Princess Elisa!
Love and kindness were placed before him, and Tom couldn't make a choice for a moment!
William didn't rush him, he just waited quietly.
After getting along with Tom for a long time, William is not a cold-blooded animal, and a faint feeling of companionship has developed between the two!
It's very simple for him to grab the golden apple. He doesn't need to draw his sword. Tom is no match for him, even if the three wind crows join Tom's camp.
Although Wind Crow's wind blade is mysterious, its attack power is so poor that William doesn't take it seriously.
But William doesn’t want to resort to this trick unless it’s absolutely necessary!
He hopes that when he finally separates from Tom, the two of them will be in a peaceful state!
I don’t know how long it has been!
Tom finally made a decision, his eyes showed determination, and he said to William apologetically, "I'm not sure, Lord Zorro!"
"Yeah! Tom! I can understand!" William's mentality was complicated at this time.
However, at this time, Tom suddenly handed over the golden apple.
William looked at Tom with strange eyes.
Tom smiled faintly, pretending to be free and easy, "Lord Zorro, the golden apple is gone, you can continue to look for it! But if it affects your affairs, it will be my fault! It must be a very important thing, in comparison
, the matter of me marrying Princess Alyssa is not that important! Princess Alyssa won’t run away anyway, I still have a chance!”
Even so, William still heard a deep sense of disappointment in Tom's tone!
William was stunned for a moment, then took the golden apple, and his heart suddenly felt mixed.
He looked at Tom deeply and said, "Okay, Tom, I will live up to others if they don't let me down!"
"Lord Zorro, who is not worthy of me? Who is not letting me down? What is it that I am not letting down others? What does this mean?" Tom was confused by William's Chinese proverb.
William smiled, smiled deeply, "Tom, you don't need to care about this, just treat it as what I said casually! But I am serious about the next point!"
"Don't you want to marry Princess Alyssa? Then let's go marry Princess Alyssa!"
"But, there are no more golden apples..." Tom hesitated.
"No, for a woman like Princess Alyssa, all you need is a sword in your hand!" William replied with deep meaning.
"...Zorro-sama, what do you want to do?"
"I want to be a Yue Lao!"
"Yue Lao? The old man in the moon? What do you mean, Master Zorro? I am getting more and more confused!"
