The everlasting link of light

Chapter 756 Hidden Inside Story

"Oh, my brain is not as good as it used to be when I got older. I even forgot about my own son. Oh, I am really old..."

After thinking it over, old man Tomano decided not to reveal the true identity of the Mefras, so he pretended to be distressed and gently hit his head, looking like an ordinary old man who was troubled by his blurred memory.

Another reason for doing this is actually a bit [selfish], that is, the human form that Mefras transformed into does bear some resemblance to the son of the old man Tomano who had passed away many years ago...

The two old village chiefs did not doubt it when they saw this. After all, they had this problem from time to time, but they had not yet reached the point where they would forget their relatives.

"Don't be sad, old brother. It's normal as you get older."

"It doesn't matter if you forget something, as long as it doesn't delay things."

Just as the three elderly people were having a conversation unique to their age group, Mefras, transformed into a human form, just happened to walk over.

The old man felt a pang in his heart when he saw this. In order to prevent Mefras from letting the cat out of the bag, he quickly took the initiative to say, "Son, come quickly. The village chief said that he will prepare a special room for us today. Come quickly and thank the village chief together."

Hearing the way old man Tomano addressed him, Mefras was stunned for a moment, but as a wise general he quickly understood what was going on, and continued to sit next to old man Tomano as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Village Chief. Please allow me to express my father's gratitude to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mefras lowered his head slightly. This was the biggest concession that he, who was proud by nature, made to humans. After all, if it were normal, he would not take these low-level lives seriously at all.

"You're welcome, kid. You've come all the way to our village, so it's only natural that we entertain you."

"Besides, your father helped us, and my house just happened to have an empty room, so it's no problem to entertain you and your father, dear child, don't take it too seriously~"

The two old village chiefs kept calling the boy a good kid, never expecting that the man in front of them, who looked like he was in middle age, was actually older than all the people in their village combined.

However, Meifras had different feelings when the two old village chiefs called him a good child. Memories from the distant past resurfaced in his mind.

[I will prove myself with my actions! I can definitely do what you haven't done! I must be better than you! ]

Mefras couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I am such a disobedient son..."

"What did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, just talking to myself."

After realizing that she had accidentally spoken her true feelings, Mei Fula secretly scolded herself in her heart for being so careless and almost revealing her secret! !

Because of his confused mind, Mefras did not notice that the expression of the old man Tomono beside him became serious.

Keeping in mind the purpose of his visit and also in order to better change the subject, Mefras suddenly asked, "Since this place is called Kappa Village, does that mean that there are indeed Kappas here?"

"Haha~ Who would know that?"

Facing the sudden question from Mefras, a trace of vigilance flashed in the old eyes of the village chief Gugu, and then he said with a smile: "It's just that I heard it passed down by the older generation. It is said that people saw kappa hundreds of years ago, but I have lived here for more than 70 years and I have never seen a kappa."

Deputy Village Chief Kikuchi also chimed in, "If possible, I really want to see a kappa to see if it looks green like my grandfather said~"

Watching the two old men singing the same tune without saying a word, Meiflas became more certain of her judgment, and a confident and complacent smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Feeling a little uneasy at the sudden smile of Mefras, the two village chiefs exchanged quick glances secretly, and then Village Chief Gu Que suddenly changed the subject.

"It's getting late, you two should take a good rest first, I'll go get you something to eat."

Deputy Village Chief Kikuchi also followed up with instructions: "Also, if you have nothing to do at night, try not to go out. The street lights in the village have been broken these past two days. If you don't see well at night, you might fall down."

After explaining all this, the two old village chiefs walked out quickly, leaving only Old Man Thatano and Mefras alone.

Looking at Mefras beside him, the old man said seriously: "Child, it seems that I need to talk to you."

"Please talk later if you have anything to say. Now I'm going to fulfill your wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mefras disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, the backyard

After the two village chiefs, Furuya and Kikuchi, came here directly, and after making sure that there was no one around, Kikuchi said with some concern: "That young man seems to know something. Could it be that we have revealed something?"

"Stay calm. The more you need to stay calm at this time."

Village Chief Gugu closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and instructed: "Just in case, I will try to hold the father and son first. You go to the lake and tell it not to come out during this period, otherwise it may be dangerous! After all, although the young man was at fault first, it is also a fact that he was seriously injured. If he is caught, he will definitely be killed!"

"I understand, I'll go right away."
