I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

……dad?

Esfar thought blankly, this is why he has never liked land very much. Whether it is a human being born with two legs or a fluffy animal, they are all very good at talking nonsense and thinking wildly .

Pei Xiang frowned because of the speculation of her old friend d'Artagnan. She resisted the urge to laugh out loud, and tried not to irritate the Sea Clan Lord who had been inexplicably paying attention to age issues recently.

"D'Artagnan, long time no see, I'm Amy."

"Amy? Meow~ are you Amy? You don't look changed at all meow~ No, you can talk now, so you unlocked the curse of that potion meow?"

Pei Xiang nodded with a smile, stepped forward and squatted in front of D'Artagnan, and shook hands with him:

"D'Artagnan, it's great to see you again. I can talk now, and not only that, but I'm still learning magic. By the way, we've been apart for almost eight years, how can you think I'm Where's Amy's baby?"

After careful identification, D'Artagnan confirmed that the human girl in front of him was indeed his former friend, and immediately raised his beard happily.He grunted twice, but soon showed a curious expression:

"More than eight years? No, Amy, we haven't seen each other for about 30 years, I remember it very well! Because I miss you every year on the day you and I share apple pie, and I miss you for thirty Time. Meow, Marshal D'Artagnan won't miss such an important thing, meow~"

Pei Xiang was very confused by D'Artaglio's words, and she also felt that General Black Cat, no, he is now Marshal Black Cat, and he would definitely not miss such an important matter, after all, it was about delicious apple pie!

At this time, it was finally the turn of Esfar, who had been ignored, to speak out.He looked down at Pei Xiang and D'Artagnan who were squatting and standing, and explained softly:

"The flow of time in different worlds is different, and the space channel itself folds time and distance, so even if we only stayed in another world for a few years, it has been 30 years here."

"So that's how it is," Pei Xiang was stunned, and then he was a little worried about Amy's relatives, "I didn't expect that we've been away for 30 years, and I don't know what's going on in Mermaid Country?"

D'Artagnan understood something from the conversation between Pei Xiang and Asfar, he meowed several times in surprise, and then said loudly:

"So you went to another world! Amy, you have had a magical journey, meow~ and Mr. Wizard, hello, welcome to the willow forest of Marshal D'Artagnan."

Esfar nodded gracefully, and politely replied:

"Nice to meet you, Marshal d'Artagnan. I heard Amy mention your friendship and your help to her before. Please accept my sincere thanks and blessings."

As soon as the words fell, d'Artagnan felt a warmth in his body.At the same time, he had an inexplicable intuition in his heart, that is, when he was in the water, his fur would no longer be wet and stick to his body to make him uncomfortable, and the little fish in the water would be more willing to play with him.

"You are amazing meow~" D'Artagnan felt part of the other party's strength through Asfar's blessing, and sincerely praised him.

Pei Xiang smiled and introduced Asfar's name to D'Artagnan. After hearing it, D'Artagnan lamented that Asfar had the same name as the Great Demon King, and invited them to have dinner in the willow forest.

"Cream mushroom pie and honey strawberry cake tart are on the menu today, as well as grilled golden chicken and fried pepper sausage, Amy, you will definitely like it. Meow, Mr. Esfar, do you have a drink, we can have a drink The black cloud sparkling rainbow wine served chilled with the lemony pearl egg salad was absolutely delicious.”

At the kind invitation of the owner of the willow forest, Amy and Esfar sat in the stump restaurant and shared a sumptuous meal with the hospitable Marshal d'Artagnan.

During the meal, Amy told d'Artagnan about her experience after leaving the willow forest area, about the princess Lilia she met and the magical magic book, about her experience in the country of Burleigh and the witch Allie. The emergence of silk.

During the narration, she specifically mentioned that she is Amy, the little mermaid princess, but briefly omitted some content about Asfar's true identity.

D'Artagnan is a black cat with strong curiosity, but he is also a gentleman who respects his friends' privacy, so he didn't ask those details that were obviously deliberately omitted, but focused on the hero Hercule and the witch On the entanglement between Alice.

"Meow~ Did Heqiu win in that way? No earth-shattering battles? No life-and-death challenges? Didn't he even face the leader of the Shanghai Clan? Meow~ I'm so disappointed!

"How can my idol be a guy who uses intrigues to win, meow, besides, he didn't figure out those intrigues himself. It's really a pity for the proud Marshal d'Artagnan, meow!"

After telling the story, Pei Xiang took a sip of sweet rose dew to moisten his throat.After putting down the crystal glass, she noticed that D'Artagnan was so disappointed and angry, and she was quite puzzled, so she asked directly:

"D'Artagnan, my friend, I remember that although you liked the story of the hero Heqiu defeating the Great Demon King, you just liked it, not to the point of being obsessed. But now you are so disappointed, I almost misunderstood, could it be that my understanding was poor before?"

After d'Artagnan swallowed a black pepper sausage, he said with a languid voice:

"Sure enough, the stories are all lies. Amy, when I missed you and your apple pie five times in my No.20, I met another good friend.

“He’s a big white dog who loves to travel and knows the food cultures of the places. Meow, he’s such a loyal and friendly friend, he’s so accommodating to me, he’s even willing to stop and make a home in the willows for me. But meow, I accidentally lost my friend."

Pei Xiang saw that d'Artagnan's beards were all hanging down, and there was a tendency to twist and knot them, so he knew that he was really sorry, so he asked softly:

"D'Artagnan, would you mind telling me why Mr. Big Dog left the Willows?"

"Meow, there's nothing you can't say. D'Artagnan never bothered to hide his mistakes. Only dogs like to pretend to be cowardly and escape. Meow, of course, except for my friend Bubucarai, who is the most special dog."

Marshal Black Cat gulped down a glass of rainbow wine to calm down before continuing:

"During those days, I was busy expanding my territory, planning to make myself a veritable marshal, so the days I stayed in the willow forest became less and less, meow, I ignored the expectant eyes of my good friend waiting for me to go back to accompany him.

"Later, I was finally able to rest for a while, and I also made an appointment with Bu Bujialai to go fishing at Tonghu Waterfall. But the pigeons that flew back from afar brought a new version of the legend of the warrior Heqiu, and planned to hold a Exclusive speech. I made a wrong decision in order to know Heqiu's story in the first place."

Having said this, d'Artagnan drank another half glass of ice wine, and then went on to recall:

"Meow, the day before I returned to the willow forest, I went to the dried seafood store in the next town, and while I ate up the shredded squid inside, I listened to the story told by the pigeon, and then... Bubukalai got angry meow .

"He said I've been busy with my career, snubbed the friends who stayed for me, and when I finally had some free time, I was indulging in some false stories. He blamed me, saying that for a He was too disappointed to see a real heroic historical figure neglecting his real friends. So he left the willow forest and started his journey again."

After listening to d'Artagnan's narration, Pei Xiang didn't know how to relieve his frustrated friend, so he sighed and poured him a glass of wine.

D'Artagnan said in distress:

"I know that I have snubbed my good friend, but I was still a little unconvinced before, thinking that Bubukalai shouldn't say bad things about Heqiu like that, and shouldn't question that heroic legend.

"I didn't expect... Meow, thank you Amy, let me know the truth, and I fully realized that Bubukalai's analysis made sense. Now I don't blame my friend at all, I just want to get back that share friendship."

At this time, Esfar, who had been eating quietly before, asked aloud:

"Why does that Mr. Bubukalai question the authenticity of the legend of the warrior?"

"Meow~ He is a very knowledgeable dog."

D'Artagnan was a little drunk at this time, his voice was a little fluttering, but he spoke clearly:

"Bubujialai has traveled to many places and has friendship with some sea tribes. He said that the sea tribes still regard the big devil as the master of the sea tribe. Therefore, he does not believe that a young human being can truly defeat the Lord of the Sea Clan. Hiccup~ Bubukalai said, there must be a big secret in it meow~"

After listening to Marshal Black Cat's explanation, Esfar took a sip of his wine, a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang shared a piece of cake with Asfar, hoping that the dessert would make him feel better.

After D'Artagnan stared at the interaction between the two guests for a while, he suddenly told Esfar:

"Whether it's friendship or love, company is indispensable. Even if we can't be together all the time, we must keep in touch and communicate frequently."

Esfar smiled and took a bite of the cake, nodding silently.

Pei Xiang felt that d'Artagnan's words were expressing emotion to himself, so he asked with a smile:

"D'Artaglio, how do you want to redeem your friendship with Monsieur Bubucaré?"

D'Artagnan grunted a few times drunkenly, his cat's eyes narrowed, and he was lost in thought.

For a while, the dining table was a little quiet.It wasn't until the two flower elves flew over carrying a basket of juicy red agate fruits that d'Artagnan shook his ears and came back to his senses.

"Meow~ let's eat fruit, this is a specialty near Liulin, meow, only here, hiccup~"

Marshal Black Cat, who had fresh fruit to eat, put aside the matter of Bubukalai for the time being, and asked Pei Xiang about the scenery and characters in another world...

The host and guests enjoyed the meal, and it was getting late after the end. D'Artagnan, who was drunk, arranged Pei Xiang and Esfar to live on the lotus leaf bed by the pond.

"There are two large and comfortable lotus-leaf beds with a pink lotus flower in between. You can't see each other when you lie on them, but you can hear each other's voices and see the same night sky , is suitable for both of you, meow, I wish you a sweet dream meow~"

After giving the instructions, D'Artagnan jumped into the pond with a "thump" at the steps of a drunk cat, and then ran away chasing a group of small fish.

"Hey, d'Artagnan... where are you going?" Pei Xiang was a little worried.

The blue rabbit adjutant on the side comforted her: "Don't worry, the water elves and fireflies in the pond will take care of Marshal d'Artagnan. Miss Amy, Mr. Asfar, please rest in peace, good night."

"Well, good night, the moonlit night here is beautiful." Pei Xiang smiled gratefully.

Esfar also nodded.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the drowsy Pei Xiang felt the lotus leaf bed under him shaking violently. When he opened his eyes, he saw D'Artagnan standing on the bank directing the little fishes to shake the lotus leaf stalks.

Esfar on the other lotus leaf bed has already got up, he is suspended above the pond, his expression is light, his eyes are noble and reserved.If it weren't for the dew with the fragrance of lotus leaves on his fingers, Pei Xiang would never have suspected that the master of the sea clan had also participated in the childish game of shaking lotus leaves just now.

"This is really a special way of waking up, D'Artagnan, Esfar." Pei Xiang sat up, rubbed his eyes in the morning light, and complained softly.

D'Artagnan, who had sobered up, said loudly:

"Amy, get up, I'm here to say goodbye to you, meow. I'm going to find my friend Bubukalaimeow right now. I can't wait to say sorry to my friend, so I can't waste any more time."

Pei Xiang's eyes widened in surprise: "You want to leave the Liulin area?"

"Meow, don't make a fuss, Amy," d'Artagnan said with his chin lifted, "I'm just going away for a while. I'll be back when I find Bubugale and say my apologies in person, meow .I'm needed here, and I always remember my responsibilities meow."

"Oh, well, of course I know that Marshal d'Artagnan will not leave Liulin completely." Pei Xiang muttered, and directed He Ye to send himself to the shore.

"D'Artagnan, are you going to set off at once?"

"Yes, meow, I've always been a cat who walks away as soon as I say it." D'Artagnan raised his beard proudly.

Pei Xiang smiled, she tied her hair and said:

"In that case, let's say goodbye. D'Artagnan, I wish you to find Mr. Bubucarai as soon as possible and restore your friendship with him. Well, Esfar and I may stay here for a few more days, and then we will out of here."

"Where will you go after me?" d'Artagnan asked curiously, "meow, I remembered, you said you belonged to the mermaid princess, meow, no wonder when I saw you for the first time, I thought you were special." Pleasing to the eye. Amy, are you going home? Going back to the sea with your boyfriend Asfar, meow?"

"Huh?!" Pei Xiang was startled, wait, what did she hear just now?

--Boy friend?No……

D'Artagnan, who was in a hurry, said quickly again:

"Meow, if I have a chance, I will visit you. Meow, but you have to give me a token. The sea area is too big. Without guidance, I can't find your home."

Before Pei Xiang corrected d'Artagnan's misunderstanding, Esfar who was on the side handed out a golden conch in time.

However, the moment he handed out the conch, he carefully thought of d'Artagnan's aesthetics, and turned the golden conch in his hand into pink, before saying softly:

"Marshal d'Artagnan, please keep this conch, it is a token of finding me and Amy. As long as you blow it on the beach, some sea people will take you to the bottom of the sea to find us, or tell you our location .”

"Understood, meow, the marshal will take care of this beautiful conch," d'Artagnan said happily, "Esfar, although you have the same name as that annoying big devil who once wanted to flood the continent , but I have to say, you look really good, meow, Amy, Esfar, goodbye!"

As he spoke, d'Artagnan waved his candy-colored cane and disappeared in place.

Pei Xiang: ...When you come back, this little fairy is still single...

"Esfar, D'Artagnan has misunderstood."

"what?"

"He said you are my boyfriend~"

"Well, maybe it's not a misunderstanding."

"It's not a misunderstanding? Asfar, d'Artagnan is talking about boyfriend friends, not male friends."

"Don't you want me to be your boyfriend, Amy?" Esfar was a little puzzled, his voice was low and hoarse, and a look of disappointment crossed his handsome brows.

Pei Xiang was slightly startled, and immediately, his starry eyes sparkled.

She took a serious look at the black-haired man, then took another look, and then asked slowly with the sound of her heart beating faster:

"Esfar, if I want, will you be my boyfriend?"

Esfar just wanted to nod, but he hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he replied very cautiously and thoughtfully:

"If what you want is not just a boyfriend, but a fiancé and husband, I can do it."
