Prologue XXXIV

farewell

After leaving the living room, we did not go directly to the elevator, but stopped at the door of the guardhouse, led by Siegel. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info When I felt strange, Pakritt had already stepped into it, and was greeted by a heartfelt greeting, from which I could faintly hear Reed's slightly incongruous greeting—and everyone else said, "Hello, Lord Pachlet." Only Reed said, "Hello, Lord Siegel, Lord Parklet. These words made Reed look at him more than Pakrit. It's just that this glance made Reed sweat on his forehead, and even his face turned a little pale, until Pakrit shifted his gaze to Li Yalin, and Reed breathed a sigh of relief inaudibly.

Well, I saw this scene through the cracks in the crowd, which gave me a more intuitive understanding of Packeret's prestige and the power of his eyes. Having said that, Pakritt had been smiling all the time during the meal just now, but when he just walked into the corridor leading to the door, Pacrit's face returned to its original seriousness, and his unsmiling appearance made him feel very majestic at first glance.

As I stared at Pakrit's back and wondered to myself, Aslan might have noticed that I had been paying attention to Pakrit, so he asked softly as he stood next to me, "Qi, do you think my father's attitude has changed too quickly?"

"Well, sort of...... It felt like he wasn't alone, and in a blink of an eye, his attitude changed from mild to severe. ”

My answer made Aslan smile lightly. Obviously, Aslan had heard a lot of my answers. He pondered for a while, and then said quietly: "Father is very gentle on the inside, but he is very strict on the outside. Because he always believed that as a military chief, majesty was necessary, and if there was not enough majesty, it would not be possible to command the army, and if the army did not obey the command, it would not be able to win the battle. ”

Aslan's words touched me deeply, and as a marshal, I was naturally very aware of the importance of discipline, so I thought about it for a while, and then replied: "He is not only a good general, but also a good father." ”

"Perhaps. ”

Hearing my answer, Aslan just smiled lightly and said.

At this time, Pakritt seemed to have finished explaining, he turned around, nodded to us, and said with a serious face: "I have finished explaining, let's go, just go to the door of the hotel, Li Yalin will drive to the door of the hotel and wait for us." ”

"Good. ”

Siegel replied and took the lead again, and the rest of us naturally followed.

The passage is not far from the elevator, so it took us a short time to step into the elevator. It is worth mentioning that Reed, Li Yalin and other bodyguards all took the same elevator as us. As soon as they stepped into the elevator, they were in a vantage point to guard against a possible attack, and these reactions and vigilance were worthy of their status as special elites.

In this dark night, the elevator is not the slightest darkness, and the gorgeous crystal lamp at the top of the elevator is exuding a dazzling light, which illuminates the entire elevator, making the darkness unrevisible. There weren't any passengers in the elevator other than us, which was to be expected, since we were on the highest floor, right?

Instead of sitting on the couch in the elevator, the three of us said hello to Siegel, Parklet, and Renoa, and ran to the transparent glass wall of the elevator.

Looking out at the transparent glass walls, it's very different from daytime. If you can see black lines composed of vehicles and pedestrians during the day, then at night, these black lines become long dragons with golden light, which illuminates the dark sky. Of course, I think the reason why the sky is shining is because the sky of the colonization satellite is not far from the surface.

The elevator is slowly descending.

Maybe it was because of the slow glass, so I didn't get to experience the impact of a high-speed fall. I have to say that this makes me a little regretful, maybe I should go bungee jumping when I have time in the future?--I thought as I looked out the window.

"Today is really a nice day, I'm glad to meet you, strange. ”

As I looked out the window, Aslan suddenly spoke. I turned my head to look at him, and all I saw was his smile. I don't know if he is as happy as he seems in his heart, but based on my understanding of Aslan in the original book, he is a person who is the same as he looks, and since he is smiling so happily now, he must be very happy in his heart at this time.

"I'm glad to meet you, Aslan. ”

Isn't it a blessing for me to meet characters that only exist in anime? Of course, in addition to being lucky, I'm naturally happy that I also met my favorite Lux.

Seeing that the smile on my face didn't seem to be fake, Aslan's smile that was already like a spring breeze suddenly became even stronger.

Lux, who had been looking out the window, turned around and interjected when she heard our conversation, "People are very happy to know Kiki." Her voice is still so crisp and melodious, it's fascinating.

"Hehe......"

"Uh......"

Lux's words sent me a chuckle of pleasure.

On the contrary, it was Aslan, whose originally happy smile suddenly dimmed a little. Although he didn't say anything, he obviously still had some mind in his heart, which could be seen from the slight helplessness on his face.

He turned his head to look out the window and said nothing.

Lux, who had been quiet, suddenly began to whisper in my ear, talking about some childhood anecdotes. I would say a couple of words from time to time, and when it came to the funny part, we both couldn't stop laughing. Aslan on the side saw that we were talking interestingly, and he became interested when he didn't want to talk more, so he joined us in the conversation, and a few laughs made his originally slightly depressed state of mind be well alleviated.

After laughing, a thought suddenly popped up in Aslan's mind: "Maybe being with Lux and Qi is the best choice for her, right? At least Qi can make her laugh, unlike me......" Thinking like this, Aslan couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Lux for the first time......

"Their name is Lux, Luxe Klein, please advise me in the future, Aslan. ”

At that time, her smile was like a beam of incomparably clean, pure sunshine. It lit Aslan's eyes and lit a bonfire in his heart, allowing him to successfully get rid of the decadence of his heart, take brave steps, and finally achieve his current achievements.

"Thank you, Lux...... May you be happy and happy!"

……

Because the elevator is in direct mode, it doesn't take much time to get to the first floor. Although Aslan was still smiling sweetly after some reason, before leaving the elevator, I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and when he came back to his senses, I smiled and said, "It's time to go, Aslan." ”

"Okay, odd. ”

Aslan looked at me stunned for a moment before he responded, and then followed us out of the elevator.

The first floor of the Klein Hotel is the lobby of the entire hotel, even if it is already 10 o'clock in the evening, the flow of people is still quite turbulent, but fortunately it is large enough, so it does not hinder the entry and exit of pedestrians, and our group is no exception.

What surprised me was that Li Yalin didn't follow us, he closed the elevator door after watching us get out of the elevator, and didn't know what to do.

Then, Reed and the other bodyguards surrounded us in the middle, and after making our whole body a slightly wider 'one', the group headed for the gate.

The wide lobby took us about three minutes before we walked out of the main gate one after another.

When you walk out of the gate, you will not be greeted by the bonsai of flowers and plants that can be seen immediately during the day, but by the neon lights, reflecting all kinds of colorful bonsai, some of which look square, and some of which look like strange peaks.

The first time I saw such a scene, I looked around with interest, but before I could take a second look, a Maffei S300 limousine jumped into view with the sound of brakes. Don't ask me why I knew it was a Maffei S300 limousine, because this was the one that brought me to the Klein Hotel - and why I would know, because it had the same license plate number as the car I was riding in when I came.

The window rolled down slowly, and Li Yalin's face with a terrible scar appeared in front of me. He greeted us and then ordered another bodyguard to open the side door of the sedan for Pakrit, Renoa, and Aslan.

When the bodyguard opened the car door for Pakrit and the others, Pakrit turned to look at Siegel, and for the first time after leaving the room, a smile appeared on his face, which made people feel quite bright, and even his tone seemed to be a little softer, just listen to him: "It's time to say goodbye, Siegel." ”

"I think so, Pakrit. ”

Siegel looked at Pacritt with a hearty smile on his face and replied aloud.

A man's friendship doesn't need too many words, just two simple answers, and Siegel and Pakrit already know each other's intentions. They hugged each other gently, patted each other on the shoulder, and after smiling at each other, they turned their eyes to their children—and they were saying goodbye to each other.

"Goodbye, Aslan. If you have time, don't forget to visit Klein House. ”

A soft smile appeared on Lux's pretty face, and her dark blue eyes like the sea looked at Aslan quietly, and she invited in a crisp and pleasant voice.

This picture made Aslan a little in a trance, how similar was the smile on that incomparably beautiful face at this moment to the first time they met each other......

The past is still vivid, but each other has long since gone back to the past.

As soon as he thought about it, a wave of sadness drifted through Aslan's heart. Aslan silently said to himself, "Sad, I haven't seen you for a long time...... But I'm not the same person I used to be. Aslan, who had a firm idea, looked directly at Lux, was silent for a while, and then said gently: "As long as I have time, I will definitely come to visit." Without waiting for Lux to answer, Aslan turned to look at me, smiled, and said, "Goodbye, Qi." After a pause, he turned to look at Lux and said, "Goodbye, Lux." After that, he turned around and walked into the car with a resolute posture.

We didn't say anything more, because both me and Lux knew that Aslan's mood was something wrong at this time, so we just watched silently as he walked into the car.

Pacritt and Renoa also said goodbye to us. Of course, they could see Aslan's bad mood at this time, so they didn't say a few more words to us, and then got into the car.

After waving at us, Li Yalin started the car and drove down the gentle slope on the other side, followed by two black cars.

It wasn't until we couldn't see the car that we turned around. I was about to take a step, but Siegel suddenly spoke: "Today's celebration for you is your closest ally now and in the future, so ...... Odd, you need to be cautious. With that, Siegel didn't wait for me to answer and walked away.

I knew what Siegel was trying to say, and I knew he was trying to point me out, so I was silent for a moment before I followed up with Lux. When I walked up to Siegel, I said, "I'll be cautious, Father......" Hearing this, Siegel didn't say anything more, just gave me a meaningful smile.
