Chosen Son

Chapter 47 Greed

The author has something to say: the Lott in this chapter is the Wang Ergou in the above... For everyone’s reading experience, I will also change the quq in the previous chapter

When Lan Nuo and Gu Fan returned to the camp one after the other, their expressions were not so good.

After hearing what the little boy said, the two went to find the old woman and the little bastard named Lott respectively. The old woman was old and her memory was not very good, and things had passed for too long, so they could only vaguely Talk about a rough idea, and although Luo Te has no problem with his memory, his brain and spirit may not be normal. His mouth is full of running trains, and nine out of ten sentences are floating in the sky. Well, it’s not bad for this strange flower, Lan Nuo may have never seen someone who is less reliable than him, he couldn’t accept it for a while, he almost drew his sword, but was held down by Gu Fan.

In short, after they removed those contradictory and ambiguous information, they didn't get too many effective clues, but roughly pieced together a story that can still be called complete.

On a certain afternoon many years ago, the old woman found a pair of unconscious sisters in strange costumes on the beach, and in accordance with Srno's kind customs, rescued them both back home.After the two sisters woke up, they told them that they came from the outside world, and somehow they came here. Because their attitude was very sincere at that time, the villagers kept them and helped them find a way to go back.The two sisters are easy to get along with. The younger sister is lively and cheerful, while the older sister is calm and quiet. With her beautiful appearance, she soon became acquainted with the people in the village.Although they entered this place by mistake, they didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. They just went out all day and came back in the evening, and some strange words popped out of their mouths from time to time—they had their own language, but the The younger sister seems to be able to speak Srno naturally, so for a long time, it was the younger sister who communicated with everyone.In short, they have been the focus of discussion in the village for a while.Until later, when they made up their minds to go to Wangcheng, the people in the village stayed with them for a while and said goodbye to them.

Not long after arriving in Wangcheng, the foreign clan rebelled, and General Xia sent troops to quell the rebellion.At that time, because of curiosity, Lot wandered around the edge of the area for a while, but the villages that the rebels passed by were almost deserted, and from time to time you could see stumps and corpses in the corners, and Lot happened to be there once. When he bumped into the rebels, he almost turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to face them head-on, so he hid behind a certain short wall. It was also there that he saw the familiar faces of the two sisters from a distance. Leaning together, they lay quietly under the cover of a pile of weeds, their faces pale, as if they had lost all life.

If Lan Nuo and Gu Fan did not see Xu Ran in the palace later, they would almost feel that this story has come to an end.

"So, if the two sisters really died together at that time, why does Xu Ran exist now?" Lan Nuo sat in front of the burning fire with a distressed expression on his face, "Or did we find the wrong one?" People, not the two of them at all, Xu Ran has another identity?"

"No, now I can be sure that Xu Ran must have something to do with the two of them." Gu Fan sat beside him, thinking.

He is also thinking about it, but the direction is not the same as that of Lan Nuo. From the old woman's description, he can be sure that the younger sister of the two sisters must come from the same system as him. Language" is a gifted skill, except for the cheating function that comes with the system, there is no other possibility to learn it from other places.In other words, one or two of the two corpses that Lott saw that day were actually still alive... No, only one should have survived. According to his understanding, witches have always been Walking alone, there is no sister at all, if it is true that both of them are alive, no one will know, then, only the younger sister survived?

But... He rubbed his temples with some headaches. What he still couldn't figure out was, since Xu Ran's mission goal was to find those three things, then why did she go to the rebel territory to die?If it is true as she said, she created the identity of a witch for herself in order to complete the task, then why did she start her plan after so many years? The tasks given by the system are all time-limited, and the sooner they are completed, the better for themselves. ,Wait a moment......

time limit?

His heart skipped a beat, as if he had grasped something crucial.

"Are you in the system?" He collected himself and called out a voice in his brain that hadn't appeared for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time the system almost expected it, and the sound of electric current immediately rang out: "Yes."

"Let me ask, how long is the longest task period in the system?" he asked.

"Eight years." Another quick answer.

Gu Fan was a little surprised at his response speed, and after a pause, he asked the next question: "Is it like this in every system?"

This time the system was silent for a while, but did not ask him where he got this "every" from, but said slowly: "No, there are long and short."

Gu Fan threw a piece of firewood into the fire with some regret, and was just about to cut off this clue, when he heard the system say this and then patched it: "But Xu Ran's system can't exceed five years at most. Year."

Gu Fan: "..."

You seem to know a little too much.

He asked again: "Can you bring your family members with you through system traversal?"

Another second answer: "Just hold hands when the program starts."

In other words, Xu Ran and the others were indeed two sisters who traveled to this world together.

In his heart, he complained about the system that was obviously hinting crazily but pretending to be sullen, and at least he heaved a sigh of relief.

Lan Nuo is still struggling with the relationship he said: "What's the relationship? Could it be that Xu Ran is one of them? She can't really be a witch... She can be resurrected after death, yes God saved her and allowed her to come back to life and continue to harm the world? But Sirno didn't recruit her, so she must blame the rebels, right?"

Gu Fan patted this ignorant silly Baitian in relief: "Although your direction is going further and further away, you are right about one thing."

Lan Nuo looked at him in confusion: "What? What did I say? Resurrection?"

"It's a disaster to the world." Gu Fan patted the ashes on his hands and stood up, "If I'm not wrong, the purpose of this Miss Xu coming to the palace is for revenge."

Two days later, Gu Fan proposed to pack up his things and go back to Wangcheng. When the announcement was made, everyone was a little stunned. Lan Nuo was so shocked that he dropped the grilled fish in his hand, hurriedly pulled him away and asked in a low voice: "Are you crazy? How can I explain to His Majesty the King when I go back like this?"

Gu Fan blinked at him, motioning him to come with him, Lan Nuo followed in a daze, and saw him hugging a kitten in a secluded corner.

The kitten's coat color is very mixed, but it has a pair of very beautiful eyes, nestling quietly in Gu Fan's hands, like a ball.

"Is it cute?" Gu Fan held it up in front of Lan Nuo, the kitten met those beautiful blue eyes, meowed weakly, waved its tiny paws, and looked a little terrified.

Lan Nuo was more terrified than it. He took a step back, and his words were almost incomplete: "You...you don't want to bring this thing back to see His Majesty, do you? What's wrong with it? ? You wake up!"

"Don't worry." Gu Fan put the kitten back into his arms, "Even if I tell His Majesty that you are a strange pet, with the blessing of a witch, he will believe it."

Lano: "..."

"Are you sure she will help you lie?"

"We are from the same town, I believe she won't mind this kind of small favor." Gu Fan's tone was relaxed, as if he was asking Xu Ran to help deliver something.

Lan Nuo looked at his confident look, and it sounded like he was making it up, but somehow he believed him a little bit, and waved his hand discouraged for a while: "Forget it, it's up to you, anyway, it will be fine if you get punished in the end." I can't blame it." Then he stretched out his hand towards Gu Fan, and Gu Fan looked at him with some confusion:

"What are you doing?" Why does Sirno still have any custom of asking for hush money?

"Give me a hug, it's so cute." Lan Nuo looked eagerly at the cat in his hand, Gu Fan smiled, and handed him the little thing in his hand.

"Let's talk." Gu Fan looked at him, and suddenly had a bold idea, "Your Highness, if I give you a chance to visit around the world for free, the price is that you may never return to Sirno, would you like it? "

Anyway, his co-pilot was also vacant, since he could take one more person with him, he might as well help this young master realize his dream.

I just don't know if he will be startled when the time comes...

"Huh?" Lan Nuo was a little dazed holding the cat, and suddenly realized after a while, "What weird things are you thinking about?"

Gu Fan looked at him innocently: "If that's all, it's good to be idle anyway, it's good to dream."

Lan Nuo was silent for a while: "You are really good at dreaming."

Tucao return to Tucao, he followed Gu Fan's train of thought and thought about it seriously: "Well... If Sirnuo can really get through this disaster safely, there must be nothing wrong with me in the future , if you really have this opportunity, you can try it, it sounds very interesting."

"Okay, I remember." Gu Fan nodded solemnly, "Let Xu Ran make a prophecy for you later, and help your dreams come true."

Lano: "..."

Okay, I know he's starting to lose his tune again.

Gu Fan's prediction was not wrong. Although Xu's face was a bit ugly, he did not bother him about such trivial matters. As long as he didn't deliberately destroy the character set she created, then even if he took a little more effort, she would not It would be easy to make him an enemy. Anyway, no one will be able to go to the ice cave for a while, so it is better to find another way.However, when she saw the kitten, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she directly hugged it into her arms.Although Gu Fan was a little surprised, but considering that the kitten was raised by a special person in the palace, she probably wouldn't do anything, so he let her go.

After the first prophecy was resolved, there was joy inside and outside the palace, and the king even treated Gu Fan as a guest of honour, treating each other with the highest courtesy, which made it easier for Gu Fan to find clues about Xu Ran better, but What puzzled him was that Xu Ran remained silent all this time.

After a few days of calm, just when he thought Xu Ran was starting to give up on himself, he received an invitation from her.
