C226 In the Face of the Storm(part I) (1/2)
On the morning of the second day, there were still six days left until the duel between Arthur and Pa Linluoer.
Leopard Man Palamedes, together with his two sons, came to a lakeside.
Isn't this a lake? Is it really here? He looked at the address and wondered.
However, it was true that this lake was very strange. It had no smell of lake water.
”Go, go.” Palamedes took a step forward and signaled Seifer and Seglyde to follow along.
”But … but ….” ”Seifer looked at the lake water and said fearfully,” I can't swim, meow … ”
”I don't know how to meow either …” Saigon Ryder said in fear as he snuggled up to his twin's side.
”You two ducklings,” Palamedes covered his head in annoyance. ”Come on, dad has a way to help you learn how to swim right away.” ”
”Yes. Meow?” Sefer asked doubtfully.
”Yes, come here.” ”The Leopard Man put on a serious face and said to her sons,” ”First of all, you must look at the lake carefully and feel its flow.”
The two little fools went up and looked at the water. The lake water was as calm as a mirror.
”And then?” Saigon Ryder asked curiously.
”Then, like this.” ”Palamedes pushed both of his hands and pushed the twins into the lake together!
Pah pah! A splash.
”Hmm, how is it?” Just struggle! Struggling to be able to swim! That's how I learned to swim when I was a kid! The Leopard Man laughed.
As a child, he was chased by humans for stealing, so he jumped into the sea from a cliff. It was better to be drowned than beaten to death by humans, he had thought at the time.
But he did not give up hope of survival. In the face of the desperate situation of being drowned, he was rowing around and gradually learned how to swim.
One must push oneself into dire straits in order to be able to unleash the necessary potential to survive for the first time. The most powerful point of a person is when they are teetering on the brink of death. Palamedes always thought so.
However …
The two little fellows that fell into the water did not come up. They did not even struggle, and the surface of the water was still as calm as a mirror!
”… …” Impossible!? No matter how flustered the two little fellows got when they fell into the water, they should at least struggle for a bit!?
He sank directly to the bottom of the lake?
Or could it be that in this strange lake, there was some terrifying creature that bit the two children, entangled them, or — eaten them?!
Sensing that the situation was bad, Palamedes took off his shirt and prepared to jump into the lake to save them.
However, on the surface of the lake, a woman appeared out of nowhere, emitting a white light.
The goddess-like woman held the two cats in her hands and said calmly, ”Did you throw this golden cat into the lake, or this silver cat?” ”
None of them! Palamedes didn't know whether to laugh or cry. ”Return my sons!” ”
”You are an honest man,” said the goddess with a smile. Goodbye. ”
The goddess left the two cats and disappeared into the lake.
”What?!” No! Palamedes shouted.
”Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!”
Although he kept his voice low, it could not escape the sensitive hearing of the Leopard Man.
”Seifer, Seglyde?!” ”Are you kidding me?!” ”
There was no response.
”I'm punishing you for lunch!” Palamedes said fiercely.
”This — sorry, meow.” The two kittens returned to their human forms and sat in front of Leopard Man Warrior.
