"What are you sorry for?" Yu Lan touched her hair with a smile and said, "Just mom."

Yu Lan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she pulled the person up from the ground with a smile on her face: "Come, let me introduce myself. This is your Aunt Mei. Call me Auntie."

"Hello, Auntie." The boy looked at Mei Qimeng in confusion and called out. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Mei Qimeng smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you?"

The child called her "Mom" and was really taking advantage of her.

Yu Lan smiled and made a face: "The child already calls me mom, I can't let him be of the same generation as you guys."

"Is this what I'm talking about?" Mei Qimeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wrapped a strand of hair around the boy's wrist and weaved it into a bracelet.

"In our place, elders give children a gift when they meet. I see that you don't seem to be very skilled in controlling your power. This bracelet can help you."

The boy touched the bracelet on his wrist and smiled obediently: "Thank you, auntie!"

Mei Qimeng and Li Shixi choked up for no apparent reason when they saw the boy's smiling face. Not to mention, this kid looked eerily similar to Yu Lan when he smiled.

Yu Lan pulled the boy around a corner and smiled maliciously: "Come, this is your Uncle Li."

The boy looked at Li Shixi, who was not much older than Yu Lan, and called out obediently, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Lee Se-hee: ...

Mei Qimeng and Erwin used all their willpower to hold back their laughter, looking into the distance with determined gazes.

Li Shixi was really speechless now. It was understandable for Mei Qimeng to be called aunt by a teenager when she was in her thirties before her death.

But he is a 19-year-old man in the prime of his life, just an adult, being called uncle?

"Uncle, why aren't you talking? Are you too happy?" Yu Lan looked at Li Shixi's gloomy expression with a smile, feeling secretly happy.

"Just wait for me, kid." Li Shixi said gritting his teeth, picked up the bone spur on the ground, and brushed the black mist in his hand, and the bone spur turned into a strange-looking knife.

He handed the bone spur to the boy and said in a strange tone: "The bone spur that absorbed your mother's blood is a very good material for refining weapons. Use it for now. After we leave here, I will add a few formations for you."

Although he can't refine weapons, he can enchant them.

The boy subconsciously wanted to reject the bone spur because it hurt someone he cared about and he didn't want to face it.

"Take it. It's easy to use what you have." Yu Lan motioned to the boy to take the bone spur. The boy had no choice but to take it.

When the bone spur reached his hand, a dark light flashed, and the boy unconsciously made a flower. It must be said that things made by oneself are really easy to use.

Next, Yu Lan pulled the boy and turned to look at Erwin behind her, saying meaningfully: "This guy..."

Erwin thought that Yulan would let the boy call him uncle, and he had prepared himself mentally. Everyone else was ready to watch the show, but the boy tilted his head and looked at Yulan in confusion, then looked at Erwin, and said, "Is he my Erby?"

Yu Lan asked in confusion, "What is Erbi?"

On the contrary, Erwin couldn't stop coughing when he heard the boy's words. He quickly explained to the boy: "No, I'm not..."

Erbi is the Elvish language, and what it means... He didn't want to tell Yu Lan.

"Irby is..." The young man suddenly frowned: "What is Irby?" He seemed to be trapped in confused memories, and his brain began to hurt. He couldn't help but squat down with his head covered, and the black rope on his wrist was tightly tied.

Erwin fed him a bottle of potion with sleeping herbs in it, and the boy fell into a coma after drinking it. Erwin breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the boy: "It seems that he still gets confused from time to time. Fortunately, the bracelet Miss Mei gave him just now worked and prevented him from going crazy."

"Then let him have a good rest. It's time for me to come out." Mei Qimeng looked at Erwin deeply, then turned around and returned to the mirror fragments.

Li Shixi also looked at Erwin with a half-smile: "There shouldn't be anything to worry about next. Let's go find the source of power in the next instance. I'm afraid he will notice something unusual if we wait too long. As for the child, leave it to Yulan. I'm going back first."

As he said that, he got into Yu Lan's bracelet.

Erwin felt uncomfortable being stared at by Mei Qimeng and Li Shixi. As his thoughts drifted, he heard Yu Lan curiously ask, "So what is Erby?"

Does Adobe have no more do?

Erwin didn't know what to say. He stammered, "Well...it means the sky."

He had heard adults say before that the sky is the father and the earth is the mother, so Ebi means sky, which is correct!

"Okay." Yu Lan didn't know if she knew that Erwin was fooling her, and her tone was a little regretful: "Let's go to Hill's store. I don't know what's going on there... By the way, I have some guesses. Can you listen to me?"

Erwin nodded: "Go ahead."

"As for the cause of this incident...I think it started with Hill."

Yu Lan spoke her guess slowly, and the more Alvin listened, the colder he felt.

No, did Yu Lan really not peek at the script? Could it be that she took the script from him and read it when he wasn't paying attention?

"The owner of the auction knows Hill and has no ill will towards him. I suspect they have known each other for a long time." Yu Lan touched her chin and thought about it. She had an inexplicable intuition that this was very similar to a story she had read. Thinking of this, she asked.

"Have you ever heard the story of the Little Mermaid?"

"The Little Mermaid?" Erwin frowned and shook his head. "Is this... a story about mermaids?"

"Yes." Yu Lan nodded affirmatively and gave the outline of the story: "Basically, a mermaid saved a prince and fell in love with him. In order to be with her beloved prince, she drank the witch's potion and exchanged her beautiful voice for a pair of legs that can walk on land."

The more Yu Lan thought about it, the more she felt that Hill had done something similar to the mermaid princess. After all, his voice was quite hoarse.

"Well...Hill is a royal mermaid. He was born with the ability to grow legs. As for his voice, it was caused by an accident." Erwin explained. However, he recalled Hill's voice before the accident and sighed: "Hill's singing is what he is most proud of. Someone once spent a fortune just to hear him hum a song."

"So that's how it is." Yu Lan nodded in understanding and continued to tell her story: "In the end, the mermaid arrived at the shore and found that the prince she rescued didn't recognize her. He mistakenly thought that it was a princess from a neighboring country who saved him, and then he married that princess. The mermaid was very sad that she couldn't get the prince's love. On the day of the prince's wedding, she turned into foam and dissipated on the sea."

Yu Lan finished the story calmly: "This is a fairy tale. The reason I told this is because I think...the relationship between Hill and the auction owner is not simple. It seems that they are enemies?"

"This..." Sensing Yu Lan's inquiring gaze, Erwin didn't dare to meet her or answer her question.

Sometimes silence can be taken as a tacit agreement. Yu Lan understood this and continued, "Hill and the auctioneer knew each other and had a good relationship. But the auctioneer was blinded by profit and turned against Hill. I guess his motive has something to do with Hill's tribe, right?"

After all, mermaids are valuable.

The owner of the auction might be taking advantage of Hill, or even wanted to buy Hill or use him for experiments to create hybrid creatures. Hill found out about this and had a big fight with him, but was accidentally seriously injured and was forced to find a place to hide his identity.

When Hina found out her brother was missing, she went ashore to look for him and was caught by the auctioneer. The auctioneer might have known Hina's identity and still had feelings for Hill - or he just wanted to use Hina to lure Hill out. For various reasons, he didn't do anything to Hina.

As for why he left Hina alone at the old auction site, it might be because he found that Hina could not lure Hill out, or he thought Hina was useless, so he just left her alone. But this act of abandonment caused Hina's current miserable situation, and if Hill knew about it, he would be furious.

Erwin was already numb, and Yu Lan's guess was almost right.

"Give me some reaction, am I right?" Yu Lan looked up at Erwin, who had an expressionless face, with her eyes wide open.

"What you said... is all right." Before Erwin could answer, a hoarse voice came from behind them.

Yu Lan looked back and found that it was Hill in a black robe. Xina was standing beside him, holding his arms tightly.

"Brother..." Xina's voice sounded with tears in her eyes. She had already cried once just now, but she couldn't stop her tears.

Behind them followed Gu Yan and Mi Ji, who were staring at Erwin's face in a daze. Next to them stood a man in black they had never seen before. His expression was cold, with black hair and golden eyes. If you were glanced at by him casually, you would feel as if you were being stared at by a ferocious beast and a chill would run down your spine.

Yu Lan was numb now. Could that man be Lily? !

"Boss." Yu Lan came back to her senses and pretended to be calm as she pulled the translucent auction boss next to her over. "I originally wanted to spare his life and hand him over to you, but...something went wrong and my family was a little too heavy-handed."

As she spoke, she took out the knife she found in the underground casino and handed it to him. The knife was enchanted, and it could injure people without causing the wound to heal. But this was useless to Yu Lan, as she was not very good at using weapons. If she was allowed to use it, she might end up cutting herself.

When she first started practicing swordplay, her teacher laughed at her and asked her if she had created a sword that was designed to make her afraid of death.

Hill stretched out his bandaged hand and took the knife. He looked at the auctioneer and was silent for a long time. It was only when Yu Lan began to worry that Hill was going to turn evil that he spoke.

"A long time ago, there was a war. It was started by a magician, and the mermaids, the vampires, and the elves were all affected. The war was about to break out, and the battlefield even affected the human world."

Because it was the human race that provoked the war, some impulsive non-human races began to retaliate indiscriminately against the human race. It was at that time that Hill, who was still in the Mermaid Sea, rescued the auction owner who was affected.

"Iris's merchant ship was blown up completely. At the time, I just thought that other races were too impulsive, but I never thought that it was actually because Iris was the mastermind behind the war."

When Iris saw the royal mermaid for the first time, he was deeply attracted by Hill's strength and beauty. He liked Hill and Hill's race.

Desire took root in her heart. Iris deceived Hill, brought him back to the shore, and then forced him to stay with various reasons.

In the end, he even imprisoned Hill.

"This knife." Hill raised the knife in his hand and said, "He asked a magician to make it. You have seen that person, the necromancer you gave me."

This knife was originally used by Iris against him. At that time, Iris liked his fish tail and face very much and thought they were the most beautiful things in the world.

He wanted to cut it off and keep it forever.

"He succeeded." Hill said these frightening words calmly, "But he found that those beautiful things look best when they are alive, so he asked the necromancer to reattach my tail and face. The necromancer did many experiments on me, and even tricked my fellow tribesmen into coming to do more experiments."

"But he failed." Hill touched his face. "Later, the war came here and the chaos affected the operation of the dungeon. The Lord sent people to check it out. That's when I met Erwin."

At that time, Erwin saved him, and the two of them fought the war together, and thus became friends. However, this matter does not need to be said, and it is useless for the players to know.

"Later... I was recovering here, observing Iris, watching him constantly killing my people, but I couldn't do anything. Many people who came into this dungeon failed to explore the plot, but you did it, and even..."

Hill looked at the shabby auction venue around him and gnashed his teeth for some reason: "It's even done very well."

It was so good that he had to re-arrange the plot of the copy. The resentment of the office slaves was unconsciously greater than his own hatred.

Yu Lan understood what Hill meant, and stepped back inexplicably, hiding behind Erwin and smiling at Hill ingratiatingly: "Surprising, unexpected..."

"What a surprise..." Hill looked at Yu Lan with amusement and stretched out his hand: "Give me the coins you have."

The coin was of no use to Yu Lan, so she simply gave it to Hill.

"I heard there was a problem with your system and you didn't know your ID card?" Hill asked.

"Yes." Yu Lan nodded.
