I, the Heir of Heroes

——It’s still black tea as always.

After the attendant left the room, the elder Nine Islands took a sip silently and set his sights on Jia Luo.

"Today's game was very exciting."

In the slow tone like Mu Chunfeng, the meaning of praise is very obvious.Without any other emotions mixed in, the old man of Nine Islands opened the topic with ordinary words.

Just boasting, it seems that he didn't pay much attention and opinion to the accident in today's game.

"It's too good to be true. I don't think this kind of pettiness can catch your eye."

Putting down the porcelain cup in his hand, Jia Luo responded flatly.

With a chuckle, Jiu Dao Lie helplessly shook his head:

"You are still the same, always so humble."

Did not continue the topic just now, and Jia Luo did not specifically mention the abnormality in the accident:

"No, I think I've changed a lot."

The rare rebuttal made the old man of Nine Islands slightly surprised, but he suddenly understood something:

"It's true, in the past, it was impossible for you to make an appointment."

That's right, today's meeting was proposed by Jia Luo.

"Is there anything you need to know from me?"

However, the hand that raised the teacup paused for a moment because of Jia Luo's straightforward question.

"Currently, this country is still conducting parasitic experiments."

It was obviously a question, but Jia Luo's calm tone was extremely firm, and the temperament around him unconsciously became sharp.

Obviously recalling something, Jiu Dao Lie's expression was solemn.Wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he must have guessed some kind of worst-case scenario.

"That's just a rumor..."

After a long silence, he slowly let out a sigh-like speech.

"No, it's not a rumor. I really felt that dirty thing in this Nine Schools Battle."

Gallo doesn't lie.

His words shattered Retsu Kushima's last expectations.

The teacup held in the hand didn't know when the scent of tea stopped rising, and the gradually cold water temperature was like the heart of the old man.

A trace of disappointment that could not be concealed appeared on his face, but his straight body showed a rickety like old age.

"It seems that you don't know the facts either, and you have been kept in the dark."

Kudao Retsu's reflection confessed everything to Jia Luo.

"...There are only scattered news here, even after checking, there has never been evidence to confirm it."

Talking about it, it seems that there is no reason to stop Jia Luo next time.

"...Is it them?"

"I'll check it out myself."

Kudao Lie's request for help was rejected.

Yes, it is a request.

Jia Luo understood his thoughts - he hoped to investigate and solve it through the forces of the Nine Islands family.

"Is there no wiggle room?"

"I already kept my hand back then."

Yes, if there is no such oath, then not only the domain of one island will be destroyed.

A dull and serious atmosphere enveloped the spacious room, and Galo's teacup was already empty.

"Recently, I will find time to visit Guangxuan. It must be too boring to stay in that place alone."

Without continuing, Jia Luo changed the topic. Now that he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the old man of Nine Islands, the progress of many things would be faster and more convenient.

"Also, communication between young people may be easier, it's better than with an old man like me."

"Aren't you going to see Miss Xiangzi?"

Ignored Jiu Daolie's self-mockery, although it was commonplace, but it implied Jia Luo's kind reminder.

"..."

"That's it, then please be careful recently, your identity is very obstructive to the Magic Clothes Brigade. I will dispose of the doll and will not leave any clues behind."

Obviously, the topic could no longer continue, and Jia Luo didn't stop there. After saying goodbye briefly, he turned and left.

Refusing Miyagawa's send-off, Jia Luo walked towards the school dormitory.

In the room, Jiu Dao Lie was left alone, looking at the scenery outside the window and meditating.
