Chapter 117: Jacklun Reappears
At this time, an adult tiger subspecies came over.
"Gululu!"
“Meow, meow, meow!”
"Woo-woo, woo-woo!"
Lati listened to the conversation between the tiger mother and son and briefly explained it to Xu Zhen.
“That little tiger said he wanted to go with Said.”
“Wow, we’re that close already?”
Xu Zhen was impressed by the progress of the past half day, but he discovered something: "Hey, Seide. Have you decided on the name of the little guy?"
"Ah, I really haven't thought about it yet. I really should give it a name..."
While holding the little tiger subspecies, Sayid looked up at the sky and thought.
"Killer, Xiao Hei, Xiao Long...something doesn't feel right."
Xu Zhen and the others all thought that these names were not very good. They even wanted to question whether it was really possible.
Although he knew that Seide should name the tiger subspecies, Xu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Think of a better name. For example... How about Barney?"
This name suddenly popped up in Xu Zhen's mind and he mentioned it. After hearing it, Sede and Lati opened their eyes wide and nodded in agreement.
“Barney. That’s a good name.”
“It feels very much like that kid.”
"Well, that's the name. From today on, it's Barney."
Sayde excitedly lifted Barney up high while calling out the name of the tiger subspecies, which will soon be renamed Barney. This is commonly known as "lifting high".
Lati and the others watched with smiles on their faces, only Xu Zhen showed a confused expression: "...Is it really decided like this?"
"Isn't that great? Let's be happy together for the birth of our little friend."
"Yeah, sure...wait!"
The sudden voice of a third party made Xu Zhen jump and react.
At that moment, everyone on the field noticed the young man's presence. When did he appear next to Xu Zhen? Even the monsters who were very sensitive to auras didn't notice it at all.
When the adult tiger subspecies growled and prepared for battle, Sayid protected Barney and almost shouted, "Who are you!?"
"Sorry to surprise you. And, it's been a while."
The young man's expression and tone were very calm. He was wearing a dark blue hooded robe, and was a very nostalgic presence for Xu Zhen, Lati and the other three companions.
His smile made it hard to tell what he was thinking, it was exactly the same as when they first met in the Kingdom of Santono. With a confused expression, Xu Zhen turned to a wry smile with a sigh and greeted the young man he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Long time no see. You suddenly appear again...Jacklon!"
As soon as Xu Zhen finished speaking, Jacklun replied with a happy smile: "Yes. Because my job is to hide my breath."
"I feel this is not the crux of the matter... but okay, let's not talk about this for now." Xu Zhen smiled bitterly, while Seide hugged Barney and asked with a confused expression: "... Is this someone you know?"
"Well, at least he's not a bad guy. I guess."
"Maybe..." Said really wanted to ask if this was reliable. However, Lati, Lopur and Slakic did not seem to be particularly alert. Said also began to feel a little relieved, thinking that there might really be no danger.
In this situation, Xu Zhen completely ignored the eyes around him and talked to Jack Lun: "So, why did you come here today?"
"I'm looking for you. There are some things I want to discuss first."
Hearing this, Jacklun's smile disappeared, and Xu Zhen and the others realized that this conversation was very serious. But soon the smile returned to Jacklun's face. He looked around and suggested, "In that case, how about we have a cup of tea together? It's too tiring to stand."
Although somewhat confused, Xu Zhen and the others accepted the proposal and headed to the depths of the Panna Forest. It was considered a relatively safe place where they were less likely to be attacked by wild monsters, so they could talk in peace.
By the way, the father tiger subspecies also went with him as a surveillance. Jacklun said that he felt more at ease with the father tiger subspecies around, and the father tiger subspecies seemed a little uncomfortable about this, at least that's what Xu Zhen thought.
Jacklen used the spring water to make a pot of hot tea. Perhaps because of the magic contained in the water, the tea tasted great. Xu Zhen and Seide exclaimed almost at the same time, "What is this!?"
After taking a short break after drinking tea, Jacklun turned to Sede and said, "You are the second prince of the Kingdom of Sforia, His Highness Sede, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Jacklun, and I am a human who studies monsters. Please give me your guidance."
Jacklen bowed deeply, and Sayde was stunned: "...You noticed me too?"
"Because I also visit the Royal City of Sforia regularly. I know that you are a popular and hardworking person, and the people in the city like you very much."
“I don’t know if I’m really that kind.”
"At least I think so. The child's attachment to you is the best proof of this." Jacklen smiled at Barney who was relaxing on Seth's lap.
Seth naturally looked down at Barney, smiled, and then asked Jacklun again: "By the way, do you want to talk to Xu Zhen about something?"
"Oh, that's right. Everyone please listen carefully, this is a very serious topic." Jacklun's expression suddenly became serious, and Xu Zhen and the others couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I want to talk about dark magic...especially the kind that erodes people's hearts. And a man named Lesak..."
These contents were not unfamiliar to Xu Zhen and his friends. Xu Zhen first thought of the out-of-control princess he met in the Kingdom of Santono: "Is the magic power you are talking about the same as that of the princess?"
"...It seems that you, Xu Zhen, also understand something."
"Ah, actually something happened when we were in the Kingdom of Santono." Xu Zhen explained Sylvia's incident to Jacklun as much as possible.
After hearing all this, Seth felt that maybe he shouldn't talk about it so casually, but since things had developed to this point, it didn't seem to make much difference whether to hide it or not, so Seth decided to listen quietly to Xu Zhen and the others' discussion for the time being.
"I see. I knew that there was dark magic activity in the Santono Kingdom, but I didn't expect that Xu Zhen and you were also involved..."
Jacklun seemed very surprised. After thinking for a moment, he confessed to Xu Zhen and the others again: "Do you remember a man named Lesak? In fact, he is also good at using dark magic."
"Is it the kind that controls people's minds?" Xu Zhen's question made Jacklun nod affirmatively with a serious look on his face. This was obviously not a peaceful topic, but rather full of great danger.
