Douluo's coffin Douluo

Chapter 54 Gretel

Soto City, Dead Forest, Hermit Academy.

In the early morning, the light pierces the darkness, like slender scissors, cutting the night and dawn, cutting a light hole in the sky, heralding the arrival of a new day.

In a quaint attic, the branches and vines of ivy climbed the floating windows of the building body, and the green branches and leaves with dew penetrated into the corner of the window. With the breeze blowing, swaying the bright morning breath in the room.

Gretel sat leaning on a thick leather chair, and was slightly awakened by the breeze blowing in through the window. Then she leaned back slightly, squinted for a while, and sat up to close a stack of thick notes on the writing desk.

"Are you awake? Let's have breakfast first."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a beautiful middle-aged woman came in with a silver tray in her hand.

She looked around thirty, but exuded the charm of a mature woman, with long brown hair shawls, and a well-fitting dress that outlined her graceful figure. She walked over with a smile and put down the silver tray.

On it were two slices of buttered bread with a sausage sandwiched between them and a block of cottage cheese, with a silver fork gleaming alluringly beside it.

Gretel smiled gratifiedly, and after washing up briefly, kissed the woman on the cheek lightly, then sat back in the chair, poured a glass of good red wine, and pushed it to the woman.

"Eat first, Sonia, I'm going to see an old friend, and I may be back in two days."

"friend?"

The woman named Sonia was surprised, and then smiled.

"I thought you wouldn't have any other friends besides here."

Gretel shook her head and smiled, put on her dark golden overcoat, straightened her slightly sloppy hair, and walked out the door.

"It's him, Jiang Muyun. He asked me to go to the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. That guy is a typical guy who would come to me whenever he had something to do, and he didn't bother to chat with me when he had nothing to do."

"So that's the case, then you should be careful on the road."

Sonia nodded and smiled, "Even if Suoto's Great Spirit Arena is your territory, it's better to keep a low profile. After all, fish and snakes are mixed there, and there may be all kinds of people."

"Understood, then I'm leaving, take care of yourself these few days, and contact Shuo Jingcao if you have anything to do."

Gretel pushed out the door and walked in the attic corridor. He happened to come across a crab beetle wriggling on the window sill. It looked a bit like a crab, but the crab shell was slightly transparent, crawling gently.

Gretel picked up the crab beetle with two fingers, and placed it on the tongue buds inertially, as if tasting the most delicious food in the world, he began to chew.

"The crab beetle of the ten-year soul beast tastes good, but it's a pity that it can't fill your stomach."

Gretel licked the corner of his mouth, stretched out his index finger to wipe off a trace of yellow stain on the corner of his mouth, turned and left.

Gretel walked out of the attic and blew a whistle. The next moment, a vulture flying high in the emerald forest suddenly rushed out and landed obediently in front of him.

"Let's go and meet an old friend."

Gretel sat on it, stroked the vulture's head, and patted off the green leaves on its brown feathers. Then, one by one, the vultures roamed through the dead forest, and the cold green sea below.

Valuable hotel.

Jiang Li got up sleepily, looked at the time, tsk, it was another day of sleeping until the sun was up.

Today, not only will he participate in the individual competition, but he will also form a team with Jiang Po to play a duo. Thinking about it, he is very... unhappy!
Who knows what tricks his cheap father is thinking of to trick him.

After simply washing up and having breakfast, he found that Jiang Po had left the hotel at some point, and it seemed that he had already gone to the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.

Soto Battlefield.

Sitting in the VIP room, Jiang Po leaned back on the easy chair behind him, shaking a glass of red wine in his hand, watching the fierce battles outside through the window sill.

The windows are special light windows, which can scatter the light from the outside, so people outside can only see the blurred colorful shadows inside the VIP room through the windows, and they can't peep into it at all.

"This guy Gretel is late again, which is really his typical style."

Jiang Po put down his red wine glass, lay comfortably on the easy chair, and changed his sitting position.

"Jiang Muyun, this is my privilege to you, being late is only for you."

With a "squeak", just as Jiang Po finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Gretel had already walked in in a black coat, and took off the mask on his face.

He was a tall man with jet-black hair, a black coat that clung tightly to his body, two mustaches that were surprisingly long, and beards that were long and straight, stretched to the sides, and became more and more fragmented, until at the tip only A thin gold thread, so that people can not see the end.

These two mustaches are very important on the face, pressing the corners of the mouth, making the cheeks look like they are drooping, and marking a drooping crease for the lips.

He just stood there, and there was a natural and powerful aura all over his body, accompanied by a calm charm that belonged to an adult man.

"sit down."

Jiang Po froze for a moment, chuckled, crossed Erlang's legs, and pointed to the easy chair opposite him.

"Jiang Muyun, this is my territory, you are really welcome!"

Gretel took off the black patent leather cap with a duck tongue, put it and the mask on the table, then sat down, poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Po didn't care, he shrugged, looked Gretel up and down, and said with a smile.

"It's been 14 years since you left, and you don't look like you've changed at all, brother."

"Stop it, I'm still a little worse than you."

Hearing the big brother, Gretel paused slightly with the hand shaking the wine glass, then sat upright, looked at him carefully, and showed a playful smile.

"Tell me, Jiang Muyun, why did you ask me to come here, or do you want me to wipe your ass?"

"I changed my name a long time ago. I don't call it this name anymore. It's called Jiang Po. It's simple and easy to remember."

Jiang Po smiled wryly, and said again.

"This time, it's about my son..."

Afterwards, Jiang Po roughly described his plan, which was nothing more than entrusting Jiang Lie to him and letting him take care of him for a period of time.

"Oh? So, you already have a son?"

Gretel was slightly surprised, and looked at him, as if he had heard something anecdotal.

"Nonsense, am I going to be single for the rest of my life? Speaking of which, your child with Sonia is older than Jiang Li, right?"

Jiang Po laughed, but found that the light in Gretel's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared silently.

After a moment of silence, Gretel shook his head, his eyes flashed with painful memories, and he put one hand on his forehead.

"No, that year, the child died before it was born, so let's not mention it..."

"Oh, like this."

Jiang Po nodded silently, didn't ask any more questions, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, besides this matter, you can arrange a two-person team for me and Jiang Lie. The combination I form with him is called the Rupture Team. I will participate in two-on-two soul fighting with him."

Gretel was taken aback when he heard his words, and smiled lightly.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Old man, you are a big brother of diamond fighting spirits, and you took Jiang Li to beat the novice brother?"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't reveal my strength, you can do it, if something happens, I will take care of it alone." Jiang Po waved his hand indifferently.

"Oh, to put it bluntly, which time I didn't wipe your ass for you, no wonder you came to me. I'm the only one who can help you with this matter."

Gretel shook her head and smiled, stood up and put on the mask, then opened the door and walked out.

Soon, Gretel found a staff member and directly authorized him to apply for a duo soul fighting badge with the word "rupture" on it.

He took the badge and just turned around when he saw a young man coming out of the rest area of ​​the fighting spirit division, his eyes fixed on him.

From this young man, he seemed to see the shadow of Jiang Po when he was young.

"Boy, are you Jiang Lie?"

Gretel walked over to stop him, looked at Jiang Li with a puzzled face, and smiled.

"My name is Gretel."

"...um, uncle?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, stared wide-eyed, looked at the tall man in front of him, remembered the name Jiang Po asked him to call Gretel, and said.

Gretel was taken aback for a moment, and it seemed that it took him a long time to react. He patted his shoulder vigorously and nodded.

"I'm Gretel, your father Jiang... Po's friend, your kid calls me uncle, your father told you."

"Uh, yes."

Jiang Li looked Gretel up and down, and was very surprised. This is his cheap dad's old friend, the dean of the Hermit Academy, Gretel.
