Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2543: Separation (36)
Chapter 2543 Parting Ways (Thirty-six)
Meanwhile(?), the Red Sea Pillar Forest in Africa, the interior of the battleship Great Britain.
"Hmm..." Mutt breathed a sigh of relief, his body seemed to have finally stopped, and he opened the door with a blushing face and walked out of the locker room.
It took about ten minutes to stop? Has the game started? In any case, rushing over from the locker room and needing to take another transport boat, all of which take time, of course, it is impossible for Mutter to catch up with the opening of the game. Hopefully the Sphinx can really handle it without Mutter.
I always feel a little embarrassed...
"Yo, kitty." A voice called out as Mutter pondered.
The cat boy looked up subconsciously and saw ------
------King Arthur? ! ?
Even if he didn't get too involved with Albert's group, Mutter would of course know King Arthur, after all, he was the king of Great Britain and a public figure.
The king of Great Britain suddenly stood in front of the cat boy. Mutter didn't know how to react for a while, but was stunned.
"See, see King Arthur... Your Majesty?" Mutt froze for a long time before saying such a sentence, and he didn't know the etiquette in Great Britain, and he didn't know how to act to the king. salute.
"You don't need to be polite." The King of Knights said, "Of course it's not accidental that I'm here. I'm here specially to see you this time."
"Uh...me?"
"It's a wonderful time. You leave your teammates behind and rush to the arena at this time." The King of Knights laughed.
Mutter suddenly thought of something and was a little unhappy. He was obviously in a hurry, but was intercepted by the King of Great Britain for questioning. King Arthur's intentions were obvious.
"That... Your Majesty, you're talking to me at a time like this, isn't it to delay time so I can't play? That way, your Britannia Cavaliers will... ....more...beneficial?"
"Haha, do you think so?" The King of Knights said, "I didn't expect you to imagine me as such a despicable person."
"But..."
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to hear me say this, you can leave here and go to the arena that belongs to you." The King of Knights took out a prop from behind and held it in his hand: "But if you want to play If so, allow me to go with you."
He is holding an iron mask, which he puts on as he speaks.
Mutter didn't realize who was in front of him before this, only that he was the king of Great Britain. But this iron mask——Catman teenager has watched countless times from the previous game videos, and he knows what this iron mask means!
"You......you...you...you...you're [Iron Mask Nine]?!" Mutter exclaimed.
"Are you surprised? Why are you surprised?" King Arthur laughed. The half-covered mask only covered his forehead to the bridge of his nose. Of course, his mouth was exposed, so his slightly provocative expression A smile also appeared in front of the cat boy.
"You think I'm deliberately delaying your time so that you can't play, right?" He said with a smile, having converted the name [zhen] to [me], as if deliberately hiding his own Identity: "Then you're wrong, kid. Just as I'm holding you back from playing, you're holding me back from playing. Let's end it."
Mutter swallowed. He knew that this was not a "two-way deal", or even a reciprocal transaction at all.
He's just one of the better outfield catchers on the Sphinx, and even among his pro league peers, he's at best mid-to-upper level, not even top-notch. There are people who are much stronger and better than him, everywhere in the world.
And in front of him King Arthur, no, it's [Iron Mask Nine], but a legend, a legendary figure as famous as the old Sphinx Dad! Just thinking about this, Mutter felt that it was not the other party that was holding him, but he was holding the other party, and it was him who was despicable.
"Are you still going to listen carefully to what I want to say next?" asked Man in the Iron Mask Nine.
"Hmm... um." Again, surprised, the cat boy didn't know how to react, but nodded awkwardly.
"Then I'll keep it short. I'm here to poach. You, join our team."
"What, what?!" Mutter's eyes widened, and he couldn't even nod his head awkwardly.
"Wait...what did you say? Join...you Britannia Cavaliers?! Now?!?"
"Certainly not now, not even during this Super Bowl event. But I want you to seriously think about it, when the game is over, leave your Sandstorm Sphinx team and join us with the Great Britain Cavaliers "Iron Masked Man No. 9 said: "I...I really want you to join, because now the British Cavaliers have no shortage of talents, except for a good outfield catcher."
"I...I don't understand...even if you suddenly say that..."Mutter begins to confuse: "There are so many good catchers in this world , me... me? Why is it me?"
"Well, there are indeed better talents than you in the world, but I can think of the talents that best fit the current offensive style of the British Cavaliers and who may leave their own team. You are the only one in the world."
Mutter looked stunned: "Me? Leaving the Sphinx? Stop joking..."
He couldn't even imagine what it would be like to leave the environment he was familiar with, to leave the Sphinx teammates who faced him day and night and won countless games. No, that would never happen. Not in this lifetime. Never will. From now on, he will stay with the Sandstorm Sphinx and play dark American football with his teammates.
"You think all this is nonsense, and you think I'm out of your imagination to poach you, don't you?" King Arthur asked in a low tone: "Then, if I tell you, this is from a What about the commission of an old friend?"
"Old friend...?"
"Your father Sphinx." Iron Mask Nine said slowly in an extremely calm tone.
This sentence, which should have been smooth, rang in Mutter's ear, but it instantly made the cat boy's scalp tingle.
"Old...Dad...?"
"It's almost the last wish of your father Sphinx, although it's not official." King Arthur added: "When I received the letter from him not long ago, I even thought it was his. A prank. But I took the time to go back and watch your games these days, and I watched your games, and I was convinced."
"What does this mean?" The cat boy felt his legs were weakening: "Could it be that...Dad despise me? Before dying, I hope that he will remove me from the Sphinx team. drive away?"
"No. He thinks you deserve a second choice, so he entrusts me to give you this second choice." Iron Mask Number Nine said: "Son, you are the one who was killed by Father Sphinx. Rescue, right? After that, you have been trying to repay your gratitude, and joining the Sphinx team is the same, right? Everything you do is to repay the old Sphinx, I hope he sees it, I hope he is happy , I hope he appreciates you. Your motivation to join the team and become a good outfield catcher is a tribute to him. But you, really, have played the game of dark American football. ?"
Faced with the question from the King of Knights, Mutter was stunned. This is different from the previous series of shocks. King Arthur's words directly hit the depths of his soul. It is a question that he cannot escape, has to answer, and answers to himself.
Has he really, ever loved the sport of dark American football?
If it wasn't to repay the kindness to the dad, or to get the appreciation from the dad, did he really, love the sport itself?
"Is this confusing, child?" Man in the Iron Mask Nine laughed a little mischievously.
It's really confusing, because even Mutter can't answer. Is there really an answer to this question?
"You may have wanted to win admiration by participating in this sport, and you may have hoped that he would be happy, so that you could repay him." The King of Knights continued: "But now? He is gone." /
What you've done, what you're about to do, he can never see again.
A dead person is dead, asleep forever, without consciousness, without feelings, without thoughts -- nothing. What you have done for him is meaningless, and your gratitude to him is enough, you can no longer get any appreciation from him, even a small praise.
You, there is no reason to continue your game.
You, there is no reason to stay on the Sandstorm Sphinx just to [inherit the will of Daddy Sphinx].
You should be freer, child.
From now on, you can do anything, achieve anything, go anywhere, and be in any role.
------It's time for you to free yourself from the shackles called [Sphinx] and do what you really want to do. "
Then Mutter's tears flowed.
No one has ever said something similar before. At that time, Mutter didn't take it seriously, because the guy who said this didn't understand anything.
But the words that came out of King Arthur's mouth now are actually what Father Sphinx wanted to convey to Mutter.
That's why Mutter is so moved.
"It looks like he cares about you from the bottom of his heart." The Man in the Iron Mask Nine said without emotion.
"Yes, I know." The young cat man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"So what? Your answer?"
"I will continue to play with the Sphinx~IndoMTL.com~ at least until this Super Bowl is over." Mutter replied: "The next thing...wait for me After sorting out your feelings, let's talk about it."
"Ha, until the Super Bowl is over?" The King of Knights sneered: "It's clear that your Sphinx schedule will come to an end today. You will be defeated, just today, just Under my British Cavaliers offense."
"We'll see." Mutter wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stared straight at King Arthur.
"I won't delay your appearance, Man in the Iron Mask No. 9." The cat boy had nothing to say to King Arthur, so he turned around and left: "See you on the field."
"Good eyes." Looking at Mutter's distant back, Man in the Iron Mask Nine smiled: "That cunning old lion really did not introduce the wrong person. One day..."
That kid will have a legend of his own.
In whatever form it is. On the field, or elsewhere.
