《3》Meeting


"Who are you?" Mina asked timidly.


The man smiled and said "Me? I'm just pa.s.sing by while looking around to see if I can find a place to spend the night. "


He looked up at the dense canopy and said, "It's not bad here. Is this your little world? Would you lend me a night's sleep? "


Mina sniffed and looked at him doubtfully: "but... It's just a tree. "


"But I think it's good. It's summer anyway and it doesn't seem that it's going to rain. Staying here for the night not only saves money but also provides cool air. " The man stretched his limbs and rested on the tree trunk- enjoying himself as if he were sitting on a comfortable sofa.


Mina listened to him and hesitated: "but... There will be mosquitoes and insects... "


The man smiled and held out a finger and shook it: "Don't worry, I have thick skin and thick flesh. I'm not afraid of mosquitoes. Besides, I have a secret weapon."


As soon as he flipped his wrist, a palm-sized black wooden box decorated with several gemstones appeared on his palm. He smiled mysteriously, opened the lid of the box and a purple light shone from the box.


Mina curiously peeks inside only to discover that there was a luminous purple mist in the box.


All of a sudden, a deep purple light came out of the box, which scared Mina.


When she fixed her eyes on it, she discovered that it was a light-emitting thin line. At the end of the line, there was a small black gold ball about the size of a thumb. I didn't know what the "line" touched in the air but it quickly retracted into the box.


At the same time, another line shot in the other direction. But this time, after the line touch something, it produced a "hiss" sound. And then there was a smell of burning charcoal in the air.


Mina's eyes widened and looked at it carefully several times, only to find out that the ball at the top of the purple light met with insects such as mosquitoes and moths and even killed a caterpillar on the trunk.


It seems to have a mysterious power, which can make the small insects disappear quietly and only when it meets the larger insects does it induces sound.


I don't know how many "lines" there are in the box. Mina can see at most six at the same time. The longest one can shoot two meters away.


"This is the latest work of Magic City's Chief Alchemist- the mosquito repellent box, which is only effective for snakes, insects, mice and ants while harmless for humans, mounts and pets.


"One box only cost 20 gold coin with a life span of three years. Customers can also enjoy personalize customization, choose the box's exterior decoration and change light's color according to their preferences."


The man looked at Mina dumbstruck face and smiled, "Just helping my friend advertise, please don't mind."


Mina didn't mind. She didn't understand anything at all. She just stared at the box and thought it was very interesting. She looked at the man with a glimmer of longing in her eyes.


The man put the box in her and chuckled "I'll give you one, anyway, I still have some. Right, what's your name? "


"My name is Mina."


Mina happily played with the box. Opened and closed it, opened and closed it. She also tried to close the lid of the box when the light came out to see what would happen. As a result, before the line could touch the insects, the line hung outside the box like an ordinary thread.


When the lid was reopened, it regained its spirit and killed a small flying insect nearby. She thought it was very interesting, and tried to close the lid when the box was about to function. At times, she would put the ball outside or directly catch a bug and throw it into the box to see how the box would react.


Fortunately, the box was worthy of being called the work of a chief alchemist. It is still "energetic" and precise with its movements.


Seeing that Mina was having a good time, the man smiled and let her sit in his arms. He asked her softly, "Little Mina, can you tell me why are you crying here?"


Mina suddenly remembered the sad thing just now. Her nose was sour again. She closed the box and didn't speak.


The man said, "Can't you tell me? I'm trying to help you and maybe I can give you some advice? "


Mina looks at him with her head tilted to a side. This man is very kind to her, and gives her such interesting things. He should not be a bad person right?


After thinking about it, she told the man what happened today, but she still remembered her father's instructions and the serious consequences caused by her quick talk. So she didn't say Veronica's name and neither when she scared her with a knife.


She just said that a mean woman and her father was whispering in the study with the room locked.


The man listened to her talk and sais, "it sounds like your dad is just talking about something confidential with that woman. Otherwise, it won't be in in the study but in the bedroom."


"Besides, a person with a little brain won't bring home a woman to fool around when the wife is around. I think your mom just misunderstood. Sooner or later, her anger will past. But being a wife and having no trust in her husband is not a smart thing."


He looked at Mina and smiled: "What's more, no matter how angry she is, she should not blame you. It's a big harm to children. "


Mina was confused, but she understood the last sentence: "mom won't hurt me..." However, she was not sure anymore now that no one came to look for her after such a long time.


The man smiled: "Of course, parents always love their children the most. Where is your house? Shall I take you back? It's unsafe for children to walk alone at night. "


He saw the hesitation on Mina's face and smiled lightly: "Don't let your parents worry. The disappearance of their beloved child will make them feel miserable." A trace of loneliness flash by the man's eyes.


As soon as Mina heard this, she said, "Let's go back. My house is just on edge of the woods. It's the two-story house with the blue roof. "


The man look across the branches and leaves and quickly found the target: "It turns out that your house is so close, it's no wonder you dare to come alone in the woods at night."


He picked Mina up and jumped. They rose and fell on the branches several times and before long, they were already outside the forest.


Mina only felt the wind blowing in her ear. Before she could savor the feeling of flying, they were already standing in the small garden.


She opened her mouth wide and stare dumbstruck at the man who was holding her only to see him smile: "How about that? Cool, isn't it?


"Cool?" Mina blinked explicably, but the man just smiled, looked around, and took her inside the house. They walked towards the hall when they heard voice of people talking.


In fact, Aaron and Dora did not realize that their daughter was missing, or even if they happen to know, they wouldn't worry. After all, Mina's love of running around is an old problem.


The couple had been in a cold war, but Dora's anger flared again when she found out that her husband was packing for tomorrow's trip. They are now sitting exhausted on the hall's couch after having an argument.


Aaron rubbed his forehead and said powerlessly, "Why do we have to argue about this? I'm talking to Veronica in the study. It's just that the door was close because I don't want to be heard. I told Mina not to tell anyone because I was afraid you will misunderstand."


"Since you're afraid of causing misunderstanding, you should not do things that makes people misunderstand."


"Didn't you let Goodwin come to our house too? You also accepted his gifts! Expensive gifts! " He stressed the words "But I didn't say anything nor did I get angry with you."


Dora glared at him "I saw him in the garden, outside, Mina and the servants were there! It's not the same as meeting secretly in the study! Besides, although his gift is valuable, it's just a dress. It's the most popular style in Easton this season that's why accepted it."


"I wore an ugly skirt during the May Day Dance last year and was laughed at for three days! I just want to earn some face for you! What's more, don't you know who stands behind Goodwin? "


Once encountering this topic, Aaron is speechless. He knew that his wife's concerns were right. No matter what he thought of the half brother, he could not turn his back on each other in the face of Madam Mirabel. And the rich life he enjoyed from childhood to adulthood made him unable to say no to people surnamed Cardo.


Therefore, although Goodwin Chulov is only Elon's wife's younger brother, he still has to accept the other party's visit, even if the other party may have some intolerable selfishness.


After a moment's silence, Aaron said, "Can't you really accept my trip? I can swear to the Lord of Light that I came out of this gate for the purpose of good light."


"Are you kidding? Everyone knows that descendants of Xiao family are not a believer of the Lord of Light! If it's truly for the good, why won't you tell me about it? " Dora sneered and pulled at the corners of her mouth.


The sarcasm on her face matched Veronica's. "Enough of your excuses and sophistry! Aaron Cardo, if you really go with that woman this time, I'll go back to Matt Harbor! "


Aaron had a headache. How could he tell his family anything about state secrets? But he didn't want to ruin his relationship with his wife for this little misunderstanding. After thinking about it, he sighed, "I see. I won't go, so don't go."


Dora looked at him, surprised and Aaron smiled bitterly: "After all what you have, do I still have to be stubborn? But although I won't go to Merton, there's a business for me with the dwarves. "


Fortunately, Veronica sent a letter half an hour ago about another task. Originally, he and Veronica would go together to Mecheng but they could save time by doing things separately.


Although the original task is very important, Noga is not an enemy country, and Mecheng's intelligence station has enough staff.


Besides, Veronica's guess is very likely. She just went to pick up a playboy from a woman and would not need two expert swordsman.


When Dora heard this, she was very happy. She immediately remember her wife's duties that she had thrown off because of her sulking mood "It's not early, are you hungry? Shall I prepare for dinner? "


At this time, there was a slight cough behind her. Looking back, I saw a young man with black hair and black eyes holding her daughter, Mina.


The man stood at the entrance of the corridor, smiled and said to both husband and wife "I'm sorry to disturb you, your daughter were in the woods just now. She seemed very sad so I sent her back. "


Mina, facing her mother's stare, shrank her neck timidly, afraid of being scolded again.


But even if Dora tried to teach her daughter a lesson, she would never forget to be polite in front of the guests. Although the young guest was only dressed in ordinary clothes, the tone of his voice and the demeanor of talking were obviously not ordinary.


She thanked him politely: "Thank you for bringing my daughter back, sir. We are looking for her."


The man smiled, "You're welcome."


He seems to find that the young woman in front of him is a beautiful and elegant woman and subconsciously shows a graceful demeanor.


Dora took a deep breath. She found out that the young man is truly charming, but as a reserved, cautious and chaste lady, she decided to leave the matter to her husband, so she made an eye Aaron and gestured him to receive the guest.


But to her surprise, Aaron did not get her hint and he stared at the guest impolitely, with shock and... Resentment? What happened? Does the husband know this man?


Obviously, the guest also noticed Aaron's eyes and his heart was in awe. He looked at the young man with brown hair and blue eyes. He seemed to be familiar with him. Is it the enemy that he has made before? Or the son of the enemy?


It's just a moment of kindness to comfort a little girl but he will meet an enemy. Isn't his character too good?


He slowly loosened the hand holding the little girl, and his right hand slowly crept behind him as he prepared for an attack.


Mina stared at the hilt that suddenly appeared on the man's sleeve. How is this possible? When did he hide such a big thing in his sleeve?!


The man did not find that his action had fallen into the little girl's eyes. He just paid attention to the master's action.


Taking a closer look at the layout of the hall and was ready to retreat anytime. When he saw two painting hanging on the wall, he was stunned.


It's him and... Mary?


"Aaron, what's wrong with you? It's rude. " Dora was upset by her husband's reaction and whispered a warning to him.


When the man heard the words, his tense muscles relaxed, but his eyes towards Aaron were very complicated: "You are... Aaron? Xiao Aaron? You are already... So big... Married… with children... "


Aaron laughed sarcastically: "Yes, it's been so many years. Are you seeing me for the first time? Father."
