Chapter Ninety-Five: Farewell (Plus, Thank You for Subscribing)
Three months later, Syracuse Pier.
It was just dawning, and the dock at this time should have been nothing, but in front of the passenger ship that was about to leave, there were many people gathered.
Shen Lu looked at the people who came to see me off a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I was just afraid that you would come to see me off like this, so I planned to slip away early in the morning, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you." ”
Everyone was smiling, but at the same time showing a look of reluctance.
The appearance of Shen Lu almost changed the fate of all the people present, and even the fate of the city.
Everyone didn't want him to leave, but everyone knew very well that Shen Lu's footsteps couldn't be confined to this city. The Ancient Saint Kingdom, the Zhongzhou Continent, and even the entire Wanfa Continent outside are the stage for him to show his strength.
Since these friends are here, Shen Lu can't avoid being vulgar, and he says goodbye to them one by one.
First of all, Fu Qiuhuang, the dean of Changge Academy, who has been able to see in the past few months.
The reason why Shen Lu delayed for three months to prepare for the journey was entirely because he had been preparing for the construction of the road. After three months of busy preparations, the road repair process is now on track, and the rest just needs to be carried out step by step.
Fu Qiuhuang took a break from drinking, and then said with a smile: "In less than two years, this road to the Ancient Holy Kingdom will be completely completed." When the time comes, it will be much more convenient for the city lord to come back and see. ”
It takes at least three years to graduate from the Ancient Saint Academy, so Shen Lu will not be able to see each other until at least three years later. In addition, the road is not smooth, and it is very troublesome to come back, so there is a high probability that Shen Lu will not have a chance to return to Snowy City in the past three years, so the people who saw him off are extremely melancholy and reluctant.
But Fu Qiuhuang's words lifted everyone's spirits.
It is conservatively estimated that it will take more than half a month to travel to the ancient holy country by boat.
If this road is repaired, it will be possible to travel back and forth between the Ancient Saint Kingdom and the Snowy City in about two or three years, and it will be much more convenient at that time.
Shen Lu was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Haha, that relationship is good." As soon as the news of the completion of the road reaches my ears, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible. But the premise of all this is that brother, you drink less wine and focus more on building roads, so that the roads can be built faster and I can come back sooner. ”
"Uh, haha, I try my best. Fu Qiuhuang's old face turned red, and everyone laughed along. The originally dull atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.
Then came Zheng Bing and Bai Xin'er.
They have followed Shen Lu in the past few months, and they can already manage almost all the big affairs of Snowy City.
So Shen Lu instructed: "Before the road is repaired, you should try to keep a low profile, work hard to make money, and benefit the surrounding towns and villages." For the time being, we don't need any elite soldiers and good generals, and we can go all out to develop the economy. Rich will always be the uncle!"
"Yes. The two agreed in unison, and then hurriedly gave up their positions and said goodbye to Shen Lu and the others.
Fang Yourong took two steps forward, patted Shen Lu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll take care of you in the city." Don't dare to do anything else, it's up to me to make money. ”
His expression suddenly darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "I went to the Ancient Saint Country, if you have the opportunity, you can look for Lan'er." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to find my senior sister. Shen Lu nodded solemnly.
It turned out that three months ago, after the battle with Wu Yongdong, Fang Lan left a letter and then said goodbye.
In the letter, she blamed herself very much, feeling that it was her several mistakes that almost killed Shen Lu, so she made up her mind to leave Yong'an Country and temper herself.
The reason why she did this was probably because she thought of her senior brother Mu Chen's approach.
At that time, Mu Chen also chose to leave alone because he had been involved in Baili Sect.
Fang Yourong forcibly put a smile on his face, and then said to Shen Lu: "In the past few months, I have occasionally received letters from Lan'er reporting safety, so there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, just don't delay your own business." ”
At this time, Dugu Yiyi also stepped forward, and the other party Yourong and Shen Lu said: "I understand your worries, but Lan'er is also my apprentice, and I know her character and ability very well. Don't worry, she'll take care of herself. What she is determined to do, you can't change. It's better to choose to believe her, and when she comes back, it will definitely impress all of us. ”
Those words did have some effect. Fang Yourong's expression eased a lot, and he hugged his fist towards Dugu Yiyi gratefully, and then left.
Shen Lu looked at Dugu Yiyi and smiled: "I also know my apprentice's character and ability very well. With your strength, are you really willing to be the president of just one clerical guild branch? Why don't you follow me to the Ancient Saint Academy? ”
For the past three months, Dugu Yiyi has been serving as the president of the clergy branch in Snowy City. Shen Lu was worried that his future would be delayed, so he wanted to invite her to go to the Ancient Saint Kingdom together.
Dugu Yiyi shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm already twenty-five years old, and I'm afraid that going to the academy will make others laugh off their big teeth." Master, don't worry, you don't have to go to the academy to improve yourself. I'm still used to cultivating in my own way. ”
Shen Lu nodded, and did not force her.
said goodbye to the eldest apprentice, and naturally there were two apprentices.
Baili Yiming stepped forward shamelessly and said to Shen Lu: "Master, I am willing to go with you, leave now." ”
"You take the test yourself, don't mess with me. Shen Lu said with a look of disgust: "The end of the year is the assessment, you and Rui are already the two strongest people in the Changge Academy, and you still need to go through my back door?"
Baili Yiming smiled and said, "I don't want to stay with you all the time, Master." ”
"Don't be so sensual. If you play normally, we will be able to meet at the Ancient Saints Academy at the end of the year. ”
directly pushed Baili Yiming aside, and then came to Xu Wenrui.
Seeing her depressed look, Shen Lu said softly: "What's the matter, are you really so reluctant to me? It's just now, it won't be long before we can meet again at the Ancient Saint Academy." ”
At this time, Xu Wenrui was lying on her shoulder, and she was holding a black and white sled dog in her arms.
Xu Wenrui touched the chubby dog, and said reluctantly: "You're okay, I just can't bear Ah Yun." ”
She was holding this dog in her arms, which was Shen Lu's pet Wandering Cloud Beast.
Shen Lu said angrily: "But Ke is watching from the side, you are so eccentric, your heart makes it unhappy." ”
Who knew that it had just ended, but Keke stretched out his claws and gently touched Ah Yun's furry ears, and he also looked unconcerned, and he seemed to be very reluctant to Ah Yun.
At this time, Shen Lu was unhappy, and said with a wry smile: "What's so good about this guy, look at the two of you who are fascinated." Ayun, come here, let me see what makes you different from other dogs. ”
Ah Yun obediently flattened Shen Lu's arms, wagged his tail, stuck out his tongue, and looked at Shen Lu with a stupid look.
"Uh, it's pretty cute, hehe. ”
Shen Lu couldn't hold back, and played with Ah Yun for a while, and then instructed Xu Wenrui: "Before coming to the Ancient Holy Kingdom, remember to go to the Priesthood Guild to find a psychic first, and tell me the itinerary in advance, so that I can pick you up." You're so stupid, you'll be in trouble if you lose yourself when the time comes. ”
Xu Wenrui was dissatisfied: "Hmph, it's as if I can't leave you." Even if you don't pick me up, there is still my brother. ”
"What? You still have a brother?"
"Of course. He should also be in the Ancient Holy Kingdom now, but he ...... It's just that I don't know how he's doing. Her expression became very unnatural.
Shen Lu thought about it for a while, and after getting along with Xu Wenrui and Xu Yuanwei for so long, they didn't say a word about Xu Wenrui's brother.
And when he was about to go to the Ancient Holy Kingdom, Xu Wenrui suddenly had an elder brother.
It seems that Xu Wenrui's elder brother had some conflict with the family, and then went to the ancient holy kingdom alone.
The reason why Xu Wenrui said this at this time was probably because she hoped that Shen Lu would help find it, but she was embarrassed to speak.
Shen Lu lowered his voice and asked, "What is your brother's name, how old is it, I'll try to find it if I have time." ”
"His name is Xu Wenqing, and he is a year older than me. After seeing him, my father and I missed him very much. As for whether he wants to come back or not, it's up to him. After Xu Wenrui finished, he glanced at Shen Lu gratefully, and said softly: "Thank you, you are so good." ”
Xu Wenrui's face flushed, and Shen Lu also coughed a little embarrassed, and probably diverted the topic and asked, "That, have you figured out what priesthood you want to choose?"
When Shen Lu left Changge City three months ago, he bought a four-star priesthood card from the points mall and gave it to Xu Wenrui.
However, Xu Wenrui himself is about to have the qualification of a four-star beast trainer, and of course this card has to choose another priesthood to be cost-effective. However, Xu Wenrui fell into a difficult choice, and she has been struggling with which priesthood to choose, and she has been struggling for three months without results.
At this time, Shen Lu's old matter was brought up again, Xu Wenrui changed her affectionate appearance just now, snorted and walked away.
After Xu Wenrui stood up, only the last person was left to see him off: Liu Muyu.
Shen Lu saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, so he took the initiative to step forward and shouted: "Sister, don't worry, this time I will ask the Shen family, I should be able to understand some information." Although I want to take you to the Ancient Holy Kingdom, to be honest, I don't know how the Shen family will treat me, so I don't dare to take the risk of taking you with me. ”
Liu Muyu shook her head: "Forget it, don't worry about me." ”
"What, sister, don't you want to recover your memory?"
Liu Muyu explained: "At the level of medical skills. If I've been resisting recovering my memory, it's probably just a knee-jerk of self-preservation. Maybe recovering that memory won't be a good thing for me. I used to want to regain my memory, but I felt lonely and felt that no one in this world had anything to do with me. When I knew I had a cousin, that feeling didn't exist. As long as you are safe and sound, and occasionally come and call me sister, I will be very happy. ”
Her words were very sincere, but her expression was still as plain as water, and she didn't know that she thought she was acting and reading her lines.
Shen Lu shook her hand and said, "Sister, I understand, in fact, I also have this idea. When I first learned about the Shen family, I was scared. If this big family doesn't accept me, then wouldn't I have no relatives, but when I get to know you, this feeling is gone. Even if I fall out with the Shen family this time, I won't feel sad, because I already know that I am not alone. ”
Not far away, an invisible person heard Shen Lu's words, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Lu'er, I have wronged you all these years." But seeing that you have become a man who can take charge of himself, Dad is relieved. ”
