This time Leonard didn't refute. Although the idea he had tonight was a bit shameless, in the end he did feel unprecedentedly relaxed.
"Old man, this is the last time." Leonard emphasized in his heart.
"Once a story begins, it must have an ending before it can be considered complete."
"Old man, what do you mean?"
Leonard didn't hear the old man's words anymore. When he was about to get up and leave, Dawn Downstairs, Klein's friend, walked in his direction.
"Two more drinks!"
Leonard sat back down and ordered two glasses of the absinthe he ordered just now. He placed one glass on his right hand and said softly, "It's such a rare visitor that I meet you here."
Klein came over and sat in the empty seat next to Leonard. He picked up the wine glass with an obvious bitter taste and said calmly: "I came here specifically to see you tonight."
Leonard's heart skipped a beat.
Next, "When did you come?"
"While you were still alone."
"..."
Leonard wanted to swear, are you old guys so boring?
He actually hid on purpose to watch him!
I just want to chat with a witch, can't I?
"A very interesting conversation." Klein said deliberately.
"..." Leonard was completely silent, but soon he hummed: "What on earth are you doing here tonight?"
Seeing Leonard forcefully change the subject, Klein said leisurely: "Oh, give your good friend Klein a few words."
"Hey, you're so busy, do you still remember that you have a friend like me?"
Ahem, why is this resentment so great... Klein felt a little weak for no reason.
"I'm just helping to carry the message." Klein said with a kind smile: "He will travel far away and may not return to Backlund for a long time. I hope you can help take care of his relatives."
"That's it?" Leonard curled his lips and said, "Is there no other more valuable content?
For example, if he dies outside, where should I go to dig out the wealth he stored during his lifetime?
By the way, I should also leave a copy of his bank account password. It is better than him taking the wealth he worked hard for into the coffin. "
Tsk, did you take gunpowder tonight? He spoke so irritably... typical of being angry. It seemed that his mood was far less calm than he appeared at the moment.
What is his relationship with that witch?
What specifically did the two of them talk about tonight?
Klein was very interested, but the most important thing at the moment was to calm Leonard's mood first.
"I think he will definitely make arrangements for his posthumous affairs. Maybe he has already written an email that will be automatically sent after his death, asking you, a good friend, to help him arrange all his posthumous affairs."
"..." Leonard was silent, and after a while he sighed: "Is the mission he is going out on this time dangerous?"
"Aren't we always walking on the edge of danger?"
"What a bastard!" Leonard suddenly cursed and drank a full glass of wine, the corners of his eyes turning red.
Klein was moved and chuckled: "Don't be so pessimistic, he has always had good luck."
"Luck? Sooner or later it will be used up. It's too unreliable."
"Perhaps the goddess of fate has always favored him."
Leonard's heart moved slightly, thinking that Klein was the favored one of the Night Goddess. Even if he was active outside, he might be safer than himself in Backlund.
The two briefly chatted for a few more words, and then Klein left in a carriage, ending tonight's conversation.
Leonard's mouth twitched as he watched him go away. Before leaving, Dawn Downstad reminded him solemnly, "The taste of the witch is good, but don't get addicted to it."
"Old man, this is all caused by you!"
"Haha, if you don't want to in your heart, how can I, a mutilated person, encourage you, ahem, how can I decide your will?"
Leonard didn't say anything else, but was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, the person coming tonight was not Klein or Hastur, otherwise he would be really embarrassed to see anyone.
It is indeed shameless to see anyone.
Hall of Stars,
Hastur also satisfied his desire to eat melons.
He has been paying close attention to the subsequent story between Leonard and the ageless witch, and his intuition told him that the story between the two was still going on, and it was far from the time to write the ending.
This time, he had to use Will's perspective to fully see the new story of Leonard and the Ageless Witch.
This is very interesting.
After eating the melon, Hastur focused on other things and continued to use the authority of the Palace of Stars to let his incarnation of light show miracles in various areas and guide those in urgent need of help.
His current main activities are concentrated in the Kingdom of Feneport and the conquered Feysac Empire. The war-ridden land is full of confused people in need of help.
In the vast starry sky above our heads, the brightest natural celestial body besides the sun and moon is Venus.
Venus is often called Taibai. The Taibai Venus in ancient mythology is based on this prototype for artistic creation.
There is also the great poet Li Bai. Legend has it that his birth was also quite unusual. He was born when his mother dreamed that Taibai Venus was in her arms at night, so he was named Li Bai with the word Taibai. This is unofficial history and there is no way to verify it.
When Venus appears in the east in the morning, it is also called Qiming, Dawn Star, and Star. When it appears in the western sky in the evening, it is also called Changgeng Star and Evening Star.
Morning Star, this is the direction that the sequence of Qi Ming Holy Master should take.
But the true morning star not only represents the star of good fortune, it is also known as the star of misfortune.
Sometimes it appears in the eastern sky, sometimes it shines in the west, its trajectory is unpredictable, and fear arises from this.
For many ancient people, it was a metaphor for both death and resurrection.
It is the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who can resurrect extinct people through skeletons stolen from the kingdom of the dead and regenerate with the blood given by this god.
The ancient Phoenicians and Jews believed it to be the incarnation of the devil and an evil star.
The ancient Mexicans were also afraid of Venus and would always close their doors and windows at dawn to block its light. They believed that the light of Venus would bring disease.
Although these are idealistic concepts imagined by the ancients because they did not understand the laws of celestial motion, they are also explained from the side.
The morning star not only symbolizes the beautiful and bright side, it can also be a bad star that can bring disaster.
During the Sequence 4 Homeless Man, there was a stranger whose fate could also be called the extraordinary ability to move natural disasters.
This is exactly the unknown side of the Enlightenment Saint Master corresponding to Sequence 3.
Light and disaster coexist, hope and chaos coexist.
These are Hastur's new insights into the sequence of enlightened saints, and they also give him a new understanding of this mysterious world full of chaos.
On this extraordinary path, chaos and madness are its original background, and the extraordinary abilities that are accidentally mastered are only an inconspicuous part of it.
And now, a new disaster will spread from the sea.
Chapter 557 Alger and the Sea
On the vast sea, a ghost ship is sailing at high speed on the sea. In the captain's cabin, Captain Alger Wilson is frowning and looking at the sea map in front of him.
The last time the Church of Storms forcefully sent him to attend the founding ceremony of the Pirate Kingdom, he was unable to live a stable and good year on the shore.
Not long after the new year had just begun, he was given another important task: to organize a pirate group to rob together and cut off the maritime transportation line from the Southern Continent to the Kingdom of Feneport.
This is to let him participate in the Civil War.
In order to support the battle situation of the Kingdom of Feneport, the Church of Storms also sent its own personnel to cooperate with the navy of Dixi County to block the transportation fleet of the Southern Continent near the coast of the Kingdom of Feneport.
It can be said that he is using his power on the sea to support the Kingdom of Feneport as much as possible.
"It's a bit difficult to handle."
Alger frowned and stared at the sea area of Hakata Port.
According to the new mission given to him by the Church of Storms, he needs to wait for the right opportunity near Bodo Port, and then rob the material transport fleet from the Southern Continent.
At this moment, his Blue Avenger was only two days away from Hakata Port.
To be on the safe side, he invited two other pirate groups to participate in the robbery as the captain of the Blue Revenge.
Two days later, Alger led his fleet to Hakata Port. What surprised him was that there were more than a dozen pirate groups of different sizes gathered in this small port.
After some inquiring about information in the tavern, I found out that they also came here to plunder the transport fleet of the Southern Continent.
This should be the pirate group that is usually funded by the Church of Storms and controlled remotely. This time it really cost a lot of money... Alger silently drank the slightly bitter buckwheat wine.
After waiting for about five days, the pirates responsible for guarding the front line discovered that nearly twenty ships from the southern continent were pretending to be merchant ships and were about to pass through the nearby waters.
As soon as the news came back to Hakata Port, all the pirate groups waiting here immediately became excited, took their own crews, and drove the well-maintained pirate ships to intercept.
Seeing this, Alger didn't panic and deliberately lagged behind the main force for a distance to let them test the water first.
He didn't want to be the first person to eat crabs. Although it might make his mouth full of oil, there was also a high chance that he would choke to death.
The pirates moved very quickly. A dozen pirate groups and nearly a hundred pirate ships of different shapes surrounded the fleet from the southern continent.
Ignoring the Southern Continent Fleet's attempt to bribe Tong Qing, they directly opened fire to rob them.
Facing the ferocious pirates, these twenty ships carrying cargo from the Southern Continent were no match at all.
At the critical moment, there were high-sequence Beyonders in the Southern Continent's fleet, who stepped forward to turn the tide.
From a distance, Alger could see the sea area where the battle was going ahead. Suddenly, a cold black mist was shrouded in it. The black mist was squirming like a black viscous liquid. A ghost that only appeared in the middle of the night crawled out of the black mist. Get up and start frantically attacking nearby pirate ships.
Every time a pirate dies at the hands of a ghost, a new ghost rises from the pirate's body.
Difficult to eliminate
The pure ghost quickly helped the southern continent's fleet to reverse its decline and gradually began to gain the upper hand.
At this time, a raging wind blew up, lifting up the layer of creeping black mist, and blew the ghost's body into pieces.
Then a huge wave was set off in the calm sea, which was more than ten feet high. It was violently smashed down. The extraordinary people who can control the power of the sea in this way can only be people from the Church of Storms.
Someone deliberately hides his identity and hides in the pirate group to ensure that this operation is foolproof.
The high-sequence Extraordinaries on both sides began to fight desperately. In order not to be affected, Alger first asked his pirate group to retreat ten nautical miles, and he would take action after the battle ahead was over.
