Chapter 1507 The little girl who loves to listen to stories
The red lamp god was strangled like a dumpling. It stood immobile not far from the lamp, with a look of grief and indignation on its face... and then it gradually became helpless.

"So that's it. It seems that Mr. Deng Shen still has a restriction not to hurt others." Boss Luo took two steps forward, came to the side of the red lamp god, and then reached out and tapped on the chains that bound the lamp god.

What made the lamp god's eyes widen was that the chains wrapped around it were loosened just like that...it opened its mouth, and said several words "you" in succession...it didn't speak a complete sentence.

Boss Luo shook his head: "I should have no direct relationship with this magic lamp...but you also have your story. I'm talking about the story before you became the lamp god."

The red lamp god was silent, then sighed dejectedly, and then looked at the summoner with full expectation, "You...you really don't plan to make a third wish?"

Luo Qiu didn't speak, just glanced at the patterned cards waiting to be opened, the meaning was already very clear.

The red lamp god frowned. For so many years—since it became a lamp god, it has never seen anyone who would give up making a wish directly... That's all, at most it shows that people have no desires, but the other party can loosen The restriction of the magic lamp on oneself... how do you say that?
"You...you?" The red lamp god suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Luo Qiu with a trace of fear.

Boss Luo shook his head directly and said, "Like I said, I have no direct relationship with the magic lamp itself... Even, from a certain point of view, my situation and yours are actually similar."

The red lamp god stared at it suspiciously, it couldn't figure out its thoughts for the time being - the rules of the magic lamp restricting the lamp god elves from attacking the summoner, it is already doomed that the summoner is safe, except for its louder voice, it really has no dignity .

It could only turn to look at the patterned cards wrapped around itself, then tentatively grabbed one of them and sent it to itself.

"What, you want half of my power?" The red lamp god looked at this randomly drawn card, his face full of disbelief... Even his voice became sharper, "I just want you to make a third wish That’s all! And it’s the third wish I’ve helped you realize, and half of my strength is actually the price? How unreasonable, how unreasonable! How unreasonable!!”

"Compared to the possibility of freedom..." Boss Luo said slowly at this time: "Mr. Deng Shen, don't you think that half of the power is already considered cheap? After all, when I make this third wish, it is equivalent to saying the next wish." A single summoner is likely to be able to fulfill the plan of five hundred wishes..."

The red lamp god's fingers couldn't help shaking... Obviously, his heart has been shaken by this possibility - but it still can't figure out why he is the one to help the other party realize his wish, and there are still five hundred A wish can be continuously output...why do I have to contribute half of my strength to the other party?

How can there be such a reason in the world... Isn't this bullying?

"I'm honorable too... Forget it." The red lamp god sighed, threw away the patterned card on hand, then grabbed the second card beside him, and looked at it without much expectation.

"The soul belongs to you after death???"

It was right, the first card had already opened its mouth, and the second card was obviously not easy-but it was the most precious thing, which was completely unacceptable to the red lamp god.

Boss Luo casually gave an official explanation at this time, "This refers to after death... that is, after you, Mr. Deng Shen, have died. Maybe you will be able to escape from the magic lamp in the future, and then you will have a long period of freedom... ...and then died. In fact, if you always consider the price-performance ratio, I suggest that you choose to give up half of your power."

The red lamp god snorted coldly, "Half of the power... Are you willing to lose half of the current power, just to buy a possibility?"

"I think I'm willing...at least at this stage." Boss Luo suddenly said quietly: "If there is a possibility that appears in front of me...I think, I will be willing, even if it is all."

"Madman!" The red lamp god snorted coldly: "For this power, I am willing to be enslaved by this magic lamp, and now I have almost fulfilled half of my wish... Now I want to give up this half of my power, it is impossible! My soul It also belongs to me, I have had enough of the pain of being imprisoned by the magic lamp, and I don't want my soul to be imprisoned anymore! This is impossible!"

Saying that, it threw out the second card, and then grabbed the third card.

Afterwards, its expression couldn't help becoming weird... and then it became silent - it stared at the third card for a long time, then took a deep breath, stared at the boss hatefully, and said through gritted teeth : "You...maybe more hateful...cruel than the person who created this magic lamp!"

"Mr. Deng Shen, do you already have the answer?" Boss Luo acted as if he hadn't heard it.

In fact, there were only three cards in total... The red lamp god has seen all of them now—but it hesitated at this time, so it gritted its teeth and said, "I need to think quietly."

After all, the red lamp god turned into a puff of red and black smoke, and poured into the magic lamp at once - the room where the magic lamp was placed suddenly became dim and extremely quiet.

Because he had to wait for the lamp god to make a decision, Luo Qiu naturally wouldn't leave silently before the customer had an answer... He looked at the way he came.

On the way here, there was no sign of Claudia at this time—she was still in the process of getting the magic lamp.

……

……

All of a sudden, Claudia was here...or rather, back where she was familiar—where she lived.

"Father?"

She came after that familiar figure, but she didn't know why she came back here... Everything in the house was so familiar to her, even with her eyes closed, she would not bump into the wall.

A figure flashed past upstairs, Claudia was startled, and quickly chased after her. She came to the room at the end of the corridor and opened the door. Outside, the place where you spend the most time.

"Father!"

The moment the door was opened, the sun pierced into Claudia's eyes. In front of the window sill of the study, Professor Xie Jiatu was holding a pipe, wondering what he was thinking.

He heard Claudia's call, turned around, and showed a kind smile: "Oh, Claudia, it's you, what's the matter?"

"Is it really you..." Claudia walked slowly... quick steps, then quick steps, three steps and two steps, and threw herself into Professor Xie Jiatu's arms, "I'm not dreaming?"

"What's the matter, Claudia?" Professor Xie Jiatu frowned, and while stroking his daughter's head, he asked softly, "Is there anything unhappy? Did you get bullied by your classmates again?"

"No, I'm just too happy." Claudia wiped her tears, looked up and said, "Besides, I haven't been bullied for a long time, since I learned Taekwondo! I'm very good now!"

Professor Xie Jiatu smiled cheerfully, and rubbed Claudia's head again: "Really? I've only been studying for less than a month, and I've already become very powerful. She is indeed my daughter."

"What a month, I have learned almost eight..."

Eight years——she said first, but only now did she realize that her father was much taller than she remembered, and she could only reach the height of his chest.

Father, when did you become so tall?

No... It's because she herself has become smaller, back to her childhood appearance - when she was always being bullied and teased when she was a child... just because she developed more maturely than ordinary children.

That's why she learned some self-defense skills under Professor Xie Jiatu's suggestion... At that time, she was only 14 years old.

Time time... time back?

She suddenly became groggy, and her body suddenly lightened while she was groggy. It should be her father who picked her up... When I was a child, my father would always pick me up when I was asleep.

……

It was dawn soon, and Claudia opened the window of the room, and after saying good morning to the little bird standing on the branch outside the window, she saw Professor Xie Jiatu reading a book in the yard at this time.

"Father!"

The sound caught the attention of Professor Xie Jiatu, who was reading a book. When he looked up, he saw Claudia climbed out of the window sill of the room, and then climbed down along the pipe outside the house.

"My little princess, you were probably a little monkey in your previous life." Professor Xie Jiatu smiled wryly, and walked quickly, afraid that she would suddenly fall, with a nervous expression on his face.

"Father!"

Claudia became playful, and jumped out of the halfway position, jumping towards Professor Xie Jiatu—although the professor caught her, but because of the impact, he fell to the ground all at once.

Claudia sat on Professor Xiejiatu's chest and let out a giggle—but the professor closed his eyes at this moment and remained motionless.

Claudia seemed to have noticed something was wrong and shook it quickly, but Professor Xie Jiatu still didn't respond.She became anxious immediately, her nose was sore, and tears fell down.

It wasn't until Professor Xie Jiatu suddenly opened it, picked her up, and turned around a few times, that she laughed through tears.

"Father, have you grown taller again?" Claudia hugged her father's waist, and found that she could only reach her father's waist.

Professor Xie Jiatu couldn't help laughing and said: "My little princess, you are only 11 years old, do you still want to be taller than me?"

"Am I only 11?" Claudia looked up suspiciously, and saw the Christmas tree in front of the house—she remembered this Christmas tree because it was brought back by her father and planted in the yard when she was 11 years old.

She was indeed 11 years old this year.

"Father, I had a dream yesterday." Claudia tilted her head, especially cute, "I dreamed that I grew up and became 14 years old!"

Professor Xie Jiatu seemed to be interested, squatted down, and gently wiped the grass clippings on Claudia's body with his hands, carefully tidying up from arms to legs, "14-year-old Claudia? 14-year-old What were you doing while?"

"I learned Taekwondo early!" Claudia said with a grin, "I'm amazing! I can protect myself and won't be bullied!"

Professor Xie Jiatu held her hands, kissed her and said, "Little princess, no one will bully you now, because I will protect you."

She listened happily, then bent down and kissed the professor on the forehead, like she really was a princess - and father, a knight.

"I want to be with my dad forever!"

……

She was younger that year, at the age when she liked to lie beside her father and listen to stories.

Claudia lay on the soft carpet, not far from the stove emitting light and heat.

Professor Xiejiatu's magnetic voice is slowly sounding. He is telling his daughter stories about the Greek gods. He has told his daughter several times this night, but she still doesn't seem to have heard enough, even when it's time to sleep. , still very tenaciously against the Sandman.

"... Later, after Oedipus personally killed the king, the position of the king was temporarily taken over by the king's younger brother. Not long after, a monster appeared in the kingdom, and no one could solve it..."

"Oedipus saw the notice and stepped forward to solve the monster's problem. According to the notice, Oedipus became the new king and took the former king's queen as his wife."

This story seems to be coming to an end here, seeing Professor Xiejiatu open the book on his lap into a new night, Claudia suddenly asked curiously: "Father, isn't the Queen the mother of Oedipus? How could he marry his mother?"

Professor Xie Jiatu smiled and looked at this small figure... At this time, Claudia, who was lying on the ground, raised her legs and kicked lightly in the air, obviously still quite energetic.

Xiejia Tujia retracted his gaze, thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the curse of Pelops before? Everything Oedipus did was to fulfill this curse. This is a kind of fate, Claudia. "

She couldn't understand these ages at all, and didn't know what fate is, so she shook her head directly, "I don't like to hear this story, it's too tragic! I want to hear something else!"

Professor Xie Jiatu laughed, picked up Claudia who was on the ground, put her on his lap, and hugged her lightly, "What story do you want to hear?"

After thinking for a while, little Claudia raised her head and said, "I want to hear the story of Valentine's Day!"

Professor Xie Jiatu blinked and said softly: "But the story of Valentine's Day is also a tragic story, and haven't you heard it before?"

"I don't care, I want to hear this." Claudia said innocently: "I want to hear the story of Valentine's Day with a good ending!"

Professor Xie Jiatu smiled, nodded, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Okay then, let's tell the story of Valentine's Day..."

Under the reflection of the fire, the story started a new one... It is still the magnetic voice of Professor Xie Jiatu, telling the story about Valentine's Day.

"...Finally, the day before the execution, the blind girl's eyes were finally healed. She rushed to the execution ground and finally saw Valentine's appearance. Later, the king... Claudia?"

She had already fallen asleep, lying on Professor Xie Jiatu's body.

So he stopped the story, gently picked her up, and sent her into the room.

At this time, she was really at an age where she could fall asleep listening to stories...
