Chapter 17: Inherited Honor

Part-time?

When Sean heard Elf, who was the captain, say such irresponsible words as a matter of course, he didn't know what kind of expression to put on his face, so he could only nod his head and get up to leave.

As soon as he reached the door, he turned back to Elf again, because the moment he opened the door, he remembered another purpose here, thinking that Sean took out the large revolver from the holster hidden in his clothes, handed it to Elf and asked, "Captain, can you fix this gun?"

Elf didn't speak, but his pupils constricted, and he took the gun with a solemn expression, and after careful observation, he let out a slightly trembling voice: "Where did you find this gun, by the way, Morrison, Sean Morrison... I should have thought of it earlier. ”

Sean looked at Elf for a while to reminisce, then distressed, and then regretful, and asked suspiciously, "Captain, this is my adoptive father's gun, is there a problem?"

"Adoptive father? Guns are fine. Elf looked away from the gun and placed it on Sean, his tone with indescribable sadness: "It's just Sean, I suddenly regret letting you join the Night's Watch." ”

"No, I don't regret it, it was my choice, and I promised Anna that I would inherit the honor of this gun. ”

"Honor... Honor. Elf chewed the word over and over again at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were on the silver pistol with black patterns, his eyes were slightly moist, and he added: "This gun is the former companion gun of the teacher who led me into the occult realm, Rune Morrison, and it is also a relic that I personally handed it to Mrs. Morrison, and now, I have pulled her other son into my squad." ”

Another son?

Bruce Morrison?

It seems that both his titular adoptive father and his brother, who has never met, have a good relationship with the captain, thinking of this, Sean subconsciously asked, "Is Bruce still alive?"

Hearing this, Elf's face showed remembrance and apology, and then he said: "I'm sorry, Sean, I don't know, I just know that one day he received a mysterious mission from the association, and he hasn't been seen since, I have searched for it, but there is nothing left but a ruin." ”

"Can you tell me where that ruins are?"

"I'm sorry, Sean, I can't tell you right now—" Elf didn't answer Sean's question directly, but just said with a dejected face, and left the room with the gun, and then his deep voice came from behind the door, and said, "I will definitely fix it, please take care of this gun, and say hello to Mrs. Anna on my behalf." ”

Sean looked at Elf's back in a daze, the waves in his heart could not be calmed for a long time, although he had no special feelings for his so-called adoptive father and brother Bruce, but this was the sadness that Anna had always hidden in his heart, of course he wanted to know more, because this was also the mother he had always loved deeply.

Taking a deep breath, he gradually stabilized his emotions, now that he was just a small spirit disciple, his strength was not strong enough, and Sean didn't believe that when he became the same rank as the captain, Elf continued to keep it to himself.

"Hey, hey, aren't you all telling me what's going on, and who is Anna?" asked Eve as she grabbed Sean's sleeve as she prepared to leave.

"Secret, little lady. Sean, who was already in a very complicated mood, heard Eve's energetic voice, and pretended to soothe his emotions and quipped.

After saying that, he pretended to be chic and handsome, and waved his left hand with his back to Eve, indicating that he was leaving, so he didn't realize how much impact his 'little lady' had on Eve.

Come downstairs

Sean said goodbye to the two who were still at the bar with a smile on his face, the man named Hull was still hiding in the counter and couldn't see his expression clearly, but Hank walked up to him very enthusiastically and greeted him happily: "Sean, how is it, have you met the captain?"

Looking at Hank who walked in front of him, Sean stopped leaving, subconsciously turned on his spiritual vision, and said to this strong man with a faint red light: "I am already a real magician." ”

"Oh, reintroduce yourself, War Pathway, Second Rank, Captain of the Ten, Hank William, welcome to you. ”

Looking at Hank's right hand that was originally stretched out in front of him and retracted, Sean was not angry, who told him that the splint on his right hand forgot to disassemble, so he had to take the hat with his left hand and salute, learning the way Hank spoke: "Sean Morrison, the path of death, the first order, the spirit disciple." ”

"Hel Pois, Night, Gambler. ”

Before Sean could speak again, a cold voice came, and I saw that Hel, who was still at the bar before, was standing on Hank's left side at some point, he had the usual southerner characteristics, black hair and black eyes, but there was no expression on his relatively ordinary face.

Gambler?

Perhaps sensing the doubt on Sean's face, Hank couldn't help but say: "Hull is the way of the night, the second rank, the gambler, in addition to not being good at communicating with people, but on the whole he is still an excellent gentleman."

Reacting, he said with the same warm smile on his face, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hull. ”

As he spoke, the three of them began to make small talk, and although one of them seemed to have a communication barrier, it did not prevent the other two from communicating, at least on the surface, it looked like the three of them were talking enthusiastically.

However, when Sean talked about why the two of them stayed in the store, Hank's smiling face collapsed in an instant, and he said hesitantly, "Normal shift... Yes, just a normal rotation. ”

"Playing cards, losing. ”

Hell, who had not spoken all this time, heard Hank's lie but suddenly broke it, and explained the whole thing in just four words, combining Hank's blushing face with the poker on the coffee table in Elf's office just now, and couldn't help but look at him with great sympathy.

Now Sean wonders if this strong man's brain is also full of muscles, knowing that Hull is a gambler, and the captain is a magician who is higher than Hull and is of the same rank, you can't beat it when you hear the name.

"So I've always suspected the captain of cheating with Miss Eve, why do I always lose?"

Sean saw that Hank's face was still full of unconvinced, looking more like a gambler than the 'gambler' Hull, and the corners of his mouth twitched, after all, the two people in front of him gave people a strong sense of incongruity, one was a 'warrior' who was enthusiastic and addicted to poker, and the other was a cold and rational 'gambler'?

There was a feeling of suspicion that the two of them had taken the wrong potion for each other, and maybe the two would be more coordinated by switching them.

However, Sean seemed to hear that Eve was also involved in the activities between them, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Miss Little Man is also there?"

"Sean, you mean Miss Eve?"

"Hmm. ”

Looking at Sean's nod, Hank looked very nervous, first looked at the stairs, and was about to open his mouth to warn Sean, but heard Sean say, "I just called her that before I left, is there any problem?"

"No, my friend, I'm going to work first. ”

Sean looked at Hank, who was originally enthusiastic, and instantly froze his face, and walked back to the bar quickly with Hull, who secretly gave him a thumbs up, and he seemed to notice something thoughtfully, and secretly said that he was unlucky.

However, he didn't take this matter to heart, came to the door and took the umbrella in his hand, turned to look at Hank, who was smiling evilly at him, and nodded to leave.

Sean, who left the Black Rose antique shop, looked at the crowded street, always had a feeling of being speechless, he was a member of the crowd an hour ago, but now he clearly felt the estrangement between himself and them, a kind of estrangement that did not know what the reason was, or even what it looked like.

After pondering for a long time, he couldn't get an answer, he put aside the thoughts in his head, raised the black umbrella, and carefully walked through the crowd, now he needed to find a suitable lunch for himself, and in the afternoon he would go to find a maid.
