Chapter 415: Waterfront Town

readx;

After Helena's trouble, it was close to midnight when the bell rang, and the expulsion ceremony naturally could not continue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info spacecraft then derailed from the satellite orbit and landed on the beacon star.

As for Wesson Brick, the patriarch of the Brick family, who had been dragged to the Golden Compass, Hebrew only glanced at him and then ordered, "Put him in the dungeon." ”

The guards grabbed Brick by the arm and lifted him up. Like a death row prisoner who had been dragged to the guillotine, Brick suddenly saw the pardon coming down from the sky, and was immediately told that the pardon was useless to him, but the executioner's knife was dull and needed to be sharpened, so the head was cut a little later. He ascended from hell to heaven in an instant, and then fell from heaven to hell, and then crawled back from hell to earth, and finally his heart could not bear it, and he passed out in the hands of Hu Weidi.

The situation of the other old gentlemen was similar to that of Brick, and they were also taken away by the Hu Guards.

The spaceship landed at the Duran family mansion in the Acropolis. Elder Bruch was not satisfied, because Elder Bruch was going to stay at Duran's house tonight, which was his reward for his efforts in removing the chip. Elder Bruch was obviously more fond of the Duran family's manor than the Duran family's official residence in the Acropolis—he especially liked the Grand Canyon manor, which had been built three hundred years during the time of the Duran family's paladin Richard.

However, of course, this kind of thing could not be listened to by Elder Bruch. At midnight, David had to rush back to the Acropolis Mansion to ring the bell, and the room in the manor where Elder Bruch wanted to live had been sealed for years, and it was too late to open it temporarily. Elder Bruch, as an old monster, was helpless, and complained a few words, so he had to carry Lufasi, who was already asleep, and went with the servant to the room arranged by Hebrew.

David kissed Gu Hanhan on the cheek, leaving Gar to accompany him, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Hanhan didn't want to go into the house, nor did she want to go to David's private living room, her mood was a little dull, and she wanted to stay outside for a while. Charles immediately planned to inform the housekeeper to set up a temporary forbidden place for the large garden behind the main mansion to drive away the idlers and others, so that it could be used exclusively by Gu Hanhan. But Gu Hanhan said no, she didn't like to go to the garden.

There is a soothing hillside behind the tarmac. Gu Hanhan climbed halfway up the mountain, stopped the servants from placing carpets and cushions, threw off her high heels, and as soon as her body fell, she sat directly on the grass. The sky is full of stars, and the weather is fine tonight.

The bell was heard from behind, and then one after another, from all directions, and soon merged into a torrent. The majestic chimes reverberated throughout the Acropolis, reaching every inch of the Lighthouse Star.

"It's the New Year. Gu Hanhan took off her coat and put it beside her, and the cold wind blew her feet and bare arms stretched out from her skirt, which was very refreshing.

The people on the ship were basically finished, the slaves who were busy around the ship also stopped working for the time being, and all the people on duty on the tarmac also came out together-slaves, low-ranking vassals of the Duran family, or relatives of distant tribesmen - they toasted together, saying "Happy New Year" to each other, and the lively sound even drifted halfway up the hill. On this day of the New Year, they don't have to worry about being severely punished for this little indulgence and rudeness.

In such a happy atmosphere, Gu Hanhan saw a team of guards escorting Brick and the others to finally get down from the spaceship and walk down the shadow of the steps on the side of the tarmac. They were regained a little bit and were able to walk on their own.

"Will they still be expelled?" Gu Hanhan asked Gal as he turned his head.

Gal stood in the cold wind, the lights in the distance shining half-brightly on his face.

"Yes or no, it can only depend on the favor of the gods of the universe. He said, "The Acropolis never uses punishment on New Year's Day, and that may be good luck for them." If any of them can make the God of the Universe hear their confession, or they will be forgiven. As far as I know, this is probably the only way to change the owner's mind. ”

Gu Hanhan smiled dumbly: The favor of the God of the Universe is really ethereal!

The bell gradually died down. The fireworks exploded, and then the night sky was filled with all colors, and even the brilliance of the stars was obscured by it. The sound of the hustle and bustle wafted over the Acropolis, and the various families began their New Year's dinner, which would be a carnival all night long from midnight to dawn.

Gu Hanhan suddenly looked back and found that David appeared on the hillside, still wearing a bell ringing dress. Gu Hanhan was a little surprised, and got up from the ground, at this time, David should still stay at the banquet, she didn't expect him to be so fast,

"Hanhan, can you go out for a walk with me," David held Gu Hanhan, his palms were hot, "This is the first New Year after we met, I want to join you-"

“...... But you're in a fever...... You should take your medicine and rest - all right......"

David picked up Gu Hanhan and flew down the hill.

"Master-" Gal took two steps forward, it was so sudden that he didn't even have time to prepare even the simplest of small airships, let alone the attendants of his party.

However, David did not stop at all, skimmed the tarmac and left the mansion directly, disappearing into the border of the Acropolis in the blink of an eye. Behind him was the Duran family's most withered Chinese New Year's Eve feast in the last thirteen years, and the vassals who had been abandoned by their masters were helpless like butterflies in a storm. Chaos is everywhere, some things are gone, others are appearing, and awe and fear have been nailed deep into the souls of all like blood deeds, like all dogs with smooth coats and noble blood.

David took Gu Hanhan in his arms and flew for most of the planet in one go, crossed the Moro River rolling eastward, and flew to the town with a house behind the river, and he slowly fell to the ground. The place where David put Gu Hanhan down seemed to be the central square of the town. In the center is a musical fountain surrounded by a circle of benches. On the side of one of the chairs, there is a sign with the name of the town - Waterfront Town

Waterfront is small, with the only building over 10 stories tall across from them, a store with an amusement park and a movie theater. There is a hotel next to the store. The alleys around the hotel are dotted with bars, casinos, and other entertainment venues, and the shop signs are flashing with colorful neon signs, which should be a lively place on a normal day. But perhaps because today is the New Year, most of the shops are closed early, the neon lights are flashing softly and coldly, it seems that only a small gambling house at the entrance of the alley is still open, but there should be no customers inside, and a strong black bodyguard at the door is dozing against the wall. In the distance, there are buildings and apartments. On Beacon Star, the people who live in such apartments are the poorest of the poor, ants who are inferior to even inferior slaves by the standards of the Acropolis. However, the starlight, the lights of thousands of homes, and the smell of barbecue seem to waft in the air, but there is an unexpected feeling of peace and warmth.

The road to the square is made of stone, and it is a little cold to step on. David pulled Gu Hanhan to sit on the seat in front of the fountain pool, took off his coat and put it on Gu Hanhan's shoulder. Gu Hanhan sat on a wooden chair in this ordinary and simple town, quietly wrapped in a man's coat with David's body temperature, blowing a cold wind against the starry sky, and suddenly felt that this was really a very romantic thing.

There was a commotion in the distance, and Gu Hanhan looked up, it was the small gambling house at the entrance of the alley that was still open. A gambler staggered out of the door, stumbled on the steps, rolled down, and fell. Gu Hanhan didn't think that anyone could really spend the New Year in the casino, so he was very surprised.

The gambler, apparently still a drunkard, got up from the ground in a daze, saw that the bottle in his hand had been broken, and stumbled towards the bodyguard at the door. "Ivan," he said drunkenly, "vodka, lend it to me." ”

The bodyguard opened his eyes: "No! I've finished drinking vodka today." Without PV special, there is no wine left. Go back, Mr. Tauffin, the casino is closing, and it's New Year's. ”

The drunkard and gambler known as Taufent in the "New Year's ......" lifted the broken bottle, dripping the little wine remaining from the wall into his mouth, the blade of the glass seemed to pierce his tongue, and he cursed and shook the broken bottle away. The crunch of wine bottles smashing on the gravel road was heard far and wide. The gambler pulled a large handful of chips from his crumpled coat pocket and threw them at the bodyguard.

"Give it to you, give it to you!

He screamed and threw himself at the bodyguard, snatching a flat flask from the inside pocket of his clothes. The gambler quickly unscrewed the cap of the bottle before the bodyguard could snatch it, and threw his head up with a thud, the liquor swallowing down his throat with a clanging sound. The bodyguard jumped up from his chair and tried to snatch it, but for the sake of the chips, he didn't make a move.

The wine spilled from the corners of the gambler's mouth and flowed all the way down his neck. He wiped it with his hand and was about to continue drinking it when vomit spurted out of his mouth. Then the vomiting could not be stopped, and he clung to the wall with his shaky hands, bent over and vomited.

"What the hell is this!" Across the square, Gu Hanhan almost smelled the smell of rotten acid, she frowned, and said resentfully: "Drunk! Gambler! This kind of bastard who gambles and drinks is the most hateful! When he comes home, maybe he can beat his wife and children! He can't bear it, so he should be drunk to death on the road!"

"He never beat his wife and children, he loves his wife very much and loves their children. He's not a jerk, he's a good guy. David sat next to Gu Hanhan and said to her, "He's my father." ”

Gu Hanhan was stunned for a moment, and then was so startled by David that he almost didn't jump up: "Your father?"

David nodded calmly: "That's right, my dad." ”

Gu Hanhan was stunned for five seconds, his mouth was bitter. Although she had long felt that the round face of old Mr. Duran did not look like David's own father, and even made up for the fucking bloody love scene. But if his biological father was the drunkard in front of him who was vomiting - Gu Hanhan once again glanced fiercely at the man with a scruffy beard and decadence - recalling that painting, recalling the man in his back, Gu Hanhan was even more disillusioned.

"Is he the person your mother loves?" Gu Hanhan asked, "Your father—I mean old Mr. Duran, your mother's legal husband is not actually your father." ”

David shook his head, "Lady Maria of the Cartian family is my adoptive mother. He was the deceased wife of the patriarch of the Duran family and the mother of Oliver. Of course, I love her, but she is not my biological mother. My real mother's name is Elizabeth, and she was a ranger......"

Gu Hanhan was completely shocked and confused: "Your parents are not pro-family?!"
