Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Undercurrent
After drinking the coffee in the cup, Sean was about to leave the captain's office, looking at the two cups of coffee on the table that had not moved at all and fell into deep thought for a while, because he suddenly felt that this coffee was not particularly unpleasant, and he could even feel the unique aroma.
slapped himself hard, Sean put down the cup in his hand, and left without looking back, and now there is still an account to be settled.
Returning to the infirmary again, his eyes stared at Eve, who still had a harmless smile on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Little young lady, are you sure that you are a disciple of the goddess of life?"
"How can you think that, Mr. Crybaby?" Eve said with a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little sharp, "The potion I have concocted is absolutely original, after all, I am a devout believer. ”
"That's right. Then she patted her head and said, "I didn't find out by chance that you were in the rain, and I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I put a little more special herbs in the potion, a full 100 grams of devil's pepper juice, and then, I was worried that you didn't like the taste and specially added a few mint leaves." ”
"Thank you so much, little... Piece... Miss Zi. ”
"You're welcome, love... Cry... Mr. Ghost. ”
Saying that, both of them maintained a 'warm' smile on their faces, but the unconcealable sparks in the eyes of both parties were constantly flying.
"Ahem... Cough..."A sudden violent coughing sound woke up the two people who were staring at each other, and the two eyes that had not been extinguished looked at each other at the same time.
I saw Hank, who was blushing, startled and then said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I should have stayed unconscious, but my throat was itchy and uncomfortable." ”
"It's okay Mr. Xiong, you still have some time to recover. Seeing that after Hank woke up, Eve did not continue to fight with Sean, but turned around to check the bodies of the two, but her expression became more and more happy, and she said to Hull, who had been 'unconscious', "Mr. Ice, should you also wake up?"
Hearing Eve's inquiry, Hel, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was still no expression on his face, just an unnatural rosiness.
"I'll get you a drink. "For the similar 'symptoms' of the three of them, Sean, who understood it, turned around and left directly in the grateful eyes of the two.
In a moment, he returned to the hospital bed again with two cups of coffee, and kindly put the coffee in the hands of the two of them, and looked at the smiling Eve on the side.
The quick-witted Hull glanced at the cup, then looked at Sean coldly, said nothing, only the thick lines of Hank, said thank you, and drank the coffee.
"Poof..."
Sure enough, Hank, who had just eaten, squirted out all the coffee in his mouth, looked at Sean angrily and said, "Mr. Sean, why are you the same as that little devil..."
"Oh?" Eve, who had brought out two glasses of water, silently put down one and put the remaining glass of water into Hull's hand.
Hank only looked at Sean and then at Eve in confusion, and finally snatched the coffee from Hull's hand and poured it hard, and collapsed directly on the bed motionless.
Is this giving up the struggle?
Seeing that the corners of Sean's eyes twitched, his face immediately stabilized, and he sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Hank, I'm sorry Mr. Hull, my plan failed." ”
A smile also appeared on Hull's stiff face, and he said, "I don't blame you, it's bad luck." ”
"No, I don't accept your apology unless you take me out of here now. Hank, who was slumped on the bed for some reason, suddenly spoke.
However, before Sean could speak, Eve on the side said with a smile: "No, Mr. Xiong, you are seriously injured, and we have to get along for a while longer." ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hank, but it looks like you're going to have to do what the doctor does. ”
After saying that, Sean saluted the three of them very gentlemanly, and then strode away from this place full of hardship, and the interesting thing is that Hull also slowly walked out of the hospital bed and left with Sean, leaving only Hank, who was still wailing.
Sean watched his face fade from ruddy to unnaturally pale, and asked uneasily, "Mr. Hull, are you really okay?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Thank you. Before Sean could apologize, Hull apologized abruptly with a cold face, "Thank you for saving me and him." ”
Sean, who reacted, touched his hat a little ashamedly, after all, this crisis was mainly caused by his own mistakes.
Hull looked at the embarrassed Sean, and said again: "We, very dangerous, in the face of any extraordinary event, there are too many, uncertain, so, learn, grateful, you, don't, carry too much, no, your fault." ”
After Hull gave Sean a hug, he slowly walked down the stairs, ready to return to the bar to continue his work.
Looking at Sean, who was gradually disappearing from Hull, he couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
After going downstairs and waving goodbye to Hull, who had sat down in the dark again, Sean was ready to return to his house to rest, and he still had some things to ask Lady Delia about her husband.

Seventh Block, Black Shark Stronghold
The one-eyed first mate Filly, who acted as bait, returned to the stronghold with a frightened expression on his face, and appeared in Captain Boris's room, with no scars on his body except for some abrasions, but it was unknown why the wraith did not kill him after leaving.
The bald Boris looked at the intact Filly, and was also a little surprised but did not show it and asked, "First mate, have you solved it?"
"Almost, Captain. ”
"Almost?"
Looking at the captain who was angry again, Fili's body trembled, and he explained tremblingly: "Originally, the official magician and his companion were almost successful, but they didn't expect the sky to suddenly rain heavily and let him break free of control..."
"Haha... Are they dead?" Hearing Fili's explanation, Boris couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the magician who looked arrogant in front of him was so unlucky, if it wasn't for his own identity, he would have broken his neck a long time ago.
"No, Captain, there's one more thing. ”
Say. ”
"It could have killed those three magicians, but it picked up something from the magician who had come to our station before it let them go. ”
Boris's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard this, and he stared at Fili and asked, "You said that it may have some kind of connection with that magician?"
"I... I'm not sure the captain..."
Syllable!
The grumpy Boris directly kicked the devouring Fili to the ground, his eyes shining with devouring fierceness, and the exposed roar couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and yelled: "Boatswain." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy man with black gloves and a scarred face that could not see clearly walked in from outside the door, he first glanced at the first mate on the ground who was moaning with his stomach in his hands, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Boris without any expression, waiting for the captain's order.
"Boatswain, take a few brethren with a clean identity, and give you two days to deal with the official magician, Sean Morrison. ”
The boatswain, who knelt on the floor and received the order, nodded and left the room, not saying a word in the process, he was just a knife of the captain, and the knife did not need to be questioned, it only needed to kill.
Looking at the boatswain in the distance, Boris would have praised the boatswain's loyalty, and now he has long been swallowed up by the fear in his heart.
"Captain... Also coming... Is it in a hurry?" Filly, who relieved the pain, asked subconsciously, because he also understood Boris's concern, now the official magician is investigating the people of the church everywhere in the East End, once he knows about its relationship with us, the result will definitely not be much better.
"Pray to the god of the sea, or we will wait for the god to feed the kraken. Boris, who was slumped in his chair, replied as if comforting himself.
