Chapter 25 Immortals

……

After leaving Rowling's house, Guo Shouyun and Christopher Ritter stayed at a hotel in Exeter. According to their plan, Guo Shouyun visited Rowling again the next day, while Christopher Ritter flew to the United States with most of his wealth.

The two have a clear division of labor, Guo Shouyun is responsible for staying in Exeter to win Rowling's favor, and Christopher Ritter is responsible for buying the right publishing house.

In addition to using the previously known plots of "Harry Potter" five, six, and seven to deepen Rowling's good impression of herself, Guo Shouyun is also paying attention to the 1999~2000 UEFA Champions League final in full swing.

Although Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have 'stumbled' this year, the enthusiasm of British fans for the Champions League has not diminished. In order to experience the legendary British fan culture in later generations, on May 24, Guo Shouyun deliberately set aside the whole night. Walk into one of Exeter's famous local fan pubs.

The furnishings in the bar are not much different from the bars that Guo Shouyun has been to in the United States. But on the surrounding walls, you can always see the logo of the 'Exeter City' football team.

One of the most striking aspects of football culture in England and Europe is the support that fans have for their home teams. Even if it's only third, fourth, or even lower, there are a lot of people in the place where this team is registered. Just like now, although the TV shows the situation before the Champions League final, most of the people in the bar are wearing the red and black sword stripes of Exeter City!

"A beer!"

After taking a seat on the barstool in front of the bar, Guo Shouyun greeted the bartender.

"Yes, sir!"

The bartender with a red and black checkered triangle scarf filled a large glass of beer and put it in front of Guo Shouyun.

After taking a sip, his gaze quickly scanned around the bar and focused on the large-back TV screen hanging from the wall.

"Max, who do you think will win this game?"

A shirtless man with a beard asked his companion while drinking a beer glass.

They have Raul, Hierro, Redondo and McManaman, and the overall team is much better than Valencia. ”

"I think Valencia are also very strong, their goalkeeper Canizares is not inferior to Real Madrid's main goalkeeper Casillas. In midfield, Valencia's flag is their captain Getska Mendieta, who is no less than Real Madrid's midfield core Redondo. The centre-back combination of Pellegrino and Ayala, together with Angma, forms Valencia's strong backbone, and yesterday's Sky TV pre-match analysis of the Champions League said that this line has allowed Valencia to concede second only after Atletico Madrid in La Liga this year, which shows its power. In addition, Valencia also have Angulo and 'Bug' López in the front. In the previous Champions League semi-finals, they overturned the star-studded Barcelona. You know, Barcelona's strength is no worse than Real Madrid!"

Fans who often watch football know the lineup of the strong European teams and those powerful stars very well. Plus it's the Champions League final today, even if it's just to brag and have a good time. You also have to make a draft in advance before you can come out and watch the game.

If there is agreement, there will be refutation, anyway, it is not the home team Exeter City, so the fans in the bar seem to be divided into two factions, one group supports Real Madrid to win, and the other group believes that Valencia will be black to the end, and after they defeated Barcelona in the semi-finals, they will continue to defeat the other big giant of La Liga, 'Real Madrid'!

The current European football world has not been seriously eroded by capital, so the strength of the top teams in each country is quite average. Whether it's the Champions League or the League Cup, there will be a dark horse that people like to see almost every year. But after Abramovic bought Chelsea in the Premier League for 130 million in 03, one big consortium after another invaded the five major leagues, and European football completely entered the era of capital football and utilitarian football. The giants and civilian teams were polarized, and at that time, whether it was the Champions League or the League Cup, there were no dark horses.

Guo Shouyun sat quietly on a high stool and watched the TV broadcast, and did not join the discussion. Moreover, his Chinese face is too abrupt to be crowded in a group of white people. Except for the occasional curious glance, no one came over to take the initiative to talk to him, a stranger.

As the Champions League final began on television, the bars, which had been somewhat vacant at first, were already crowded with fans. A team sport like football is more felt when everyone is crowded together to watch it.

However, after the crowd. The bartender's boss, plus a waiter serving the bar, was already a little too busy.

"Molly, come down and help!"

"Okay, Dad, I'll come down soon!"

A young and crisp voice came from the staircase on the second floor.

"Rudy, Molly is back?"

One of the fans asked a regular customer as he poured wine from the middle-aged white boss at the counter.

"Well, school is out for the summer, and I just came back yesterday!"

The white uncle named Rudy said with a smile on his face.

"Molly is our most delicate rose in Exeter, and she must be more beautiful than before after half a year!"

"Rudy, my son is the same age as Molly and is now in his third year at the University of Exeter Law School. Not to mention being tall and handsome, he has now obtained an internship qualification at the famous Fenwick & West Law Firm, and his future is bright. So, I think he's a good fit for Molly!"

"Sig, you'd better save it. Who doesn't know that your son is involved with that widow named Anne on Rose Street!"

"Damn it, Nicholas Pars. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

As the angry voice sounded, the already lively bar burst into laughter. However, when a sound of footsteps came from far and near from the stairs. Almost everyone in the bar took their eyes off the TV and looked towards the staircase. Guo Shouyun was affected by this, and then shifted his gaze.

A white tourist shoe and a white and slender ankle first appeared in front of Guo Shouyun's eyes, followed by a pair of slender and slender calves, smooth and delicate, and then, a pale pink over-the-knee long skirt covered the thighs and the graceful scenery on the inside. As his footsteps moved down, the slender willow waist tightly wrapped in a white tight-fitting long-sleeved shirt accompanied by a pair of jade hands with even flesh and bone entered Guo Shouyun's eyes.

At this moment, everyone has deep expectations for what lies ahead. As a man, Guo Shouyun is of course no exception. And the beautiful woman who came in did not disappoint him, behind a pair of towering crisp breasts, accompanied by a slender jade neck and knife-like jade shoulders came a fair-skinned, delicate, extremely beautiful and three-dimensional facial features.

What's even more rare is that there are no freckles common to European and American women in adulthood on this touching and delicate face. In the bright light, her skin looked extremely smooth. Moreover, the other party also has oriental-style black hair, which is tied into a simple ponytail and naturally scattered behind his head.

Guo Shouyun was surprised that in this Exeter tavern, he could still see such a pure and fairy-like top beauty. Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance and temperament, he couldn't help but think of Deborah Silva, the Brazilian 'fairy' who had caused a sensation on the Chinese Internet in later generations! Both temperament and appearance were too similar.

It's just that compared to Deborah Silva, the girl in front of her, who is about 170 tall and should be called Molly, is more mature and cold.

With her presence, the whole bar seemed to brighten up.

"Molly, take a look at the counter for me!"

Rudy Bevan looked at his beautiful daughter, and her fat face was full of pride. His most cherished baby daughter is not only the most beautiful diamond in all of Exeter, but she is also extremely good at school. Three years ago, he was admitted to the Oil Painting Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which has the title of "the world's four major art academies". In his junior year, he had already held his own solo exhibition in London.

Now, a year later, at the age of 21, he has successfully signed a contract with the world-famous 'Gagosian Gallery'! It is almost foreseeable that in the near future, his baby daughter will become a world-renowned painter and truly enter the upper class.

Molly Bevan nodded at her father, who had been accustomed to all kinds of covetous glances since she was a child, ignored the many strange looks from the bar, and walked into the bar.

Old Beiwen, after handing over the work of pouring wine to his daughter, took over the work of serving wine and snacks to the guests.

At the moment, the Champions League final being played on TV doesn't seem so appealing. Except for those who are older, most of the men in the bar have their eyes on Molly Bevan, who is beautiful and innocent and a little cold at the counter.

Compared with them, Guo Shouwen, who was sitting at the counter, was more dominant. Because of the close distance, he could almost smell the delicate body fragrance emanating from the other party, with the fragrance of jasmine.

"Hello, can you give me a beer?"

Molly Bevan had long noticed the Asian man sitting at the counter, looking at him all the time.

"Do you want to add ice?"

"No need!"

Molly nodded, poured a glass of beer and placed it in front of the other party.

"Thank you!"

Molly Bevan nodded, not saying anything more.

However, seeing such a beautiful girl with a look and temperament that she likes her type, if Guo Shouyun doesn't take the initiative to talk to him, then he will really be an out-and-out 'Lu man'!
