"Okay," Evil Star picked up the soup bowl and drank the thick soup quickly, then wiped his mouth with a napkin: "You have nothing to do here, go back and rest as soon as possible. Wait until you make up your mind to challenge the nightmare.
Let me know and I will take you there. Another word of advice to you: Stop working part-time. During this period, you should sleep more and keep your energy."
"Nourishing essence...?"
Seeing Daniel cast a doubtful look at him, the evil star further explained: "This is similar to the principle of resisting hypnosis. Fighting mental pollution requires a sound body and mind. If your mental state is not full enough, you will easily be taken advantage of by nightmares.
enter."
Of course, this also means that Daniel can no longer earn money from part-time jobs to pay for his mother's surgery.
This also means that this is a desperate move. If Daniel can really defeat the nightmare and successfully upgrade to a regular knight, his mother's surgery expenses will be collected immediately; otherwise, this young trainee knight will lose everything.
"Understood." Daniel sighed, and he accepted the gamble: "Then, I'm afraid I have to quit this job. I'm sorry, Sister Black Cat."
Rather than relying on the pitiful pocket money earned from part-time jobs to scrape together the cost of the surgery bit by bit, it would be better to break the bank and spend everything to agree to the nightmare.
"It doesn't matter." Black Cat also sighed, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Then you can go back and have a good rest."
"Thank you." Daniel saluted everyone and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Husky, can I have a few words with you alone?" He said to the dog boy before leaving.
"Uh? That's awesome." The dog-man boy followed the trainee knight boy into the backstage.
After Daniel walked away, the black cat gave the evil star an angry look: "Well now, you scared my cook away. It's rare that the food cooked by that kid is so delicious, and the other guests are full of praises."
"
"But you are employing child labor." Xing Huilong exposed it mercilessly, refuting Black Cat until he was speechless.
Backstage in the cafe, Daniel had just changed out of his chef's clothes and put on the casual clothes of a servant of the Knights.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Husky and said: "Husky...you are indeed a puppy. When I saw your ears and tail in the simulation system, I thought you were joking, no?"
To think that in reality you are really an orc."
"Hehehe." Husky waggled his tail and said with a smile, "It's just a bark. Husky won't lie to you."
After a while of silence, Daniel hesitantly said: "I actually only have one question to ask you. How did you recognize me?"
"Recognize you Wang?"
Daniel looked at the dog-man boy intently and asked seriously: "You know. I was clearly working in the kitchen just now, but you seemed to know that I was here in advance and suddenly rushed in. I just don't understand--
----You have obviously only seen me in the simulation system. We have never met in reality. How on earth did you know that I am here?"
Husky stuck out his tongue mischievously and kicked the ground with his little feet: "Brother Daniel, do you really want to know this?"
"I want to know. This fact really worries me." There was a faint nervousness on the face of the trainee knight boy: "If you who have never met me can simply know that I am nearby, does this mean that you are other acquaintances?"
Can you easily detect me? What did I do wrong to expose my identity? Did you recognize me by that puppy nose?"
"It's not Wang. This is the first time Husky has smelled Brother Daniel's scent, Wang." The dog man boy smiled mysteriously: "I can't smell your scent in the simulation game, Wang."
"Why on earth?" Daniel was even more confused.
"Hey, hey, it's because of this." Husky pointed to the cups that were hanging aside to be washed. Those cups happened to be the drinks they drank before eating, and there was also a frozen lemon Coke that Husky drank.
cup.
Daniel stared at the cup, trying to find some clues on it. The Coke was very cold. Even though Huski had finished the drink, the cup still had the remaining coldness of the Coke, making the crystal clear surface of the glass cup ripple.
The fog never dissipates for a long time.
And on the surface of the cup with white mist, there was still a vague palm print, which was exactly the same size as Daniel's hand.
Of course, these drinks were also prepared by Daniel in the kitchen. While preparing the drinks, he also put his palm prints on the cups.
"You recognized me from...my palm prints?!" Daniel looked even more surprised.
"Hehe..." Husky gently grabbed Daniel's hand and spread it out: "For ordinary people, Husky would not be able to recognize Wang. But Daniel's brother's palm prints are very special, Husky
Ji can recognize Wang at a glance."
He touched Daniel's palm with his puppy paw. That palm was indeed very special, full of calluses and scars.
The calluses are, of course, the marks left by Daniel's hard work day and night; and the scars, or (mostly) dry and chapped wounds, are the marks left by Daniel's long hours of hard work. This should obviously be
A palm full of vicissitudes of life that only an elderly person in their sixties or seventies would possess was placed on the body of a teenage boy.
Husky once shook hands with Daniel, and the dog-man boy recognized these scarred hands.
"That's it." Daniel withdrew his hand, with a look of shame on his face: "Did these vulgar and ugly hands betray me?"
"Vulgar and ugly? No--" The dog-man boy shook his head and tried his best to deny it all: "These hands are the same as Husky's dad, and they are also as barking as Uncle Arthur; if Uncle Evil Star wasn't so
With strong self-healing ability, I guess he would also have such hands.
Dad once told Huskey that if Huskey sees someone with such hands in the world again, Huskey must respect him. These are definitely not vulgar and ugly hands. Every scar in these hands, every scar,
A callus is left behind by its owner's hard work, hard training, and unremitting fighting.
------How can Husky not respect someone who has worked hard like this?"
Tick.
After listening to the dog-man boy's narration, Daniel, who knew the truth, shed tears. Two lines of his tears fell on the ground, making a clear sound.
"Dan, brother Daniel?" Husky was frightened: "You, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying suddenly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"
"No! No!---" The apprentice knight boy quickly covered his eyes with his hands and wiped his eye sockets with all his strength: "I'm fine. I'm just a little excited."
(This child, he has seen through everything about me.)
For so many years, Daniel, who has been struggling for life without stopping for a moment, has never even observed himself. This is also the first time that he has seriously observed his scarred hands.
No matter how hard he worked, struggled for survival, suffered, or despaired, no one ever cared about him or bothered to care about him.
No matter how lush the weeds grow on the roadside, their appearance will never be remembered by passers-by. What's more, it is impossible for lush weeds to grow on barren land?
However, Husky saw through everything.
He has carefully observed and understood. This child does not look at people's appearance or status. He sees people deeper and more truly than anyone else. A poor man like Daniel who is as low as a weed on the ground is still being raped.
People care, even he himself finds it unbelievable.
"Thank you, Husky." Daniel whispered: "Thank you, and thank you to your father. If you see your father one day, please be sure to thank him for me. He has taught you well.
You have become a gentle and considerate person, I think he must also be a wise sage."
"That's of course." Hearing his father being praised, Huskey quickly wagged his tail and smiled happily: "Huskey's dad is the best dad in the world."
"The rest time is almost over, I have to go back quickly." Daniel hurriedly opened the back door of the cafe: "Goodbye, Husky. If we are destined (Kama), we will definitely meet again."
"Brother Daniel, come on." The dog-man boy watched the trainee knight boy leave and gently closed the door.
At the same time, Egypt, the top floor of the Grand Hotel in Cairo.
"Sorry I'm late." Paramedes hurried back to the private room of Tianjie Restaurant and saw that almost everyone had arrived. Even the Sphinx Father was waiting for him there. Leopard Warrior
I couldn't help but scratch my head in embarrassment.
"Hahaha, it's not too late, the Queen of Gemstones hasn't come yet." Father Sphinx smiled tolerantly, and didn't seem to be angry at all. He had a burly figure and was wearing a solemn and solemn black suit.
He looked extraordinary, like a mafia boss or a business tycoon. But the giant of the era smiled very gently at Palamedes, and Palamedes didn't feel any pressure at all.
It's also strange.
"You...are not angry?" Big Cat sat down next to his son and asked doubtfully.
"It's your fear of heights that makes you uncomfortable staying here, right?" Father Sphinx smiled lightly: "It's our fault for not thinking carefully enough, and there's no reason to blame you. Come on, sit still,
Don't look down. Just be patient. The dinner will be over soon."
Paramedis remained silent and tried to calm down. Father Sphinx was right when he said that if the Leopard Warrior hypnotizes himself and thinks he is on flat ground and never looks down, he will
There will be a sense of being grounded, and the fear of heights will become less scary. Of course, if there are other things to distract his attention, Paramedes will be able to survive the night. He can't wait for it now
This dinner party starts quickly, of course - it's best to end it quickly.
Speaking of which, where is the protagonist of the dinner? When will the [Queen of Gemstones] that Daddy Sphinx mentioned come?
Just when Palamedes was wondering, someone pushed the door of the crystal box open.
