Chapter 65: A Parting Drink
The suitcase was placed by the door, and the chair was pulled out and sat down, and Donald took a sip of the lemonade that Anthony handed over, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're moving? Royal Delorraine is gone?"
Anthony put the two plates of roast meat on the left and right, looked at the two suitcases that Donald had brought and Finger, and asked out loud.
"Well, the teaching assistant job at Royal Delorraine was a transition job from the beginning, and I was with a ...... during Rainstorm week Qiujia, there was a fight in the assistant teacher's apartment, you know, the battle between the aliens, the destruction of objects is a normal thing, and the sound, all in all, now my identity is exposed, it just so happens that I have entered the abnormal bureau, and now I am going to live with those team members, and I will go out of the first mission tomorrow, so I came to eat your meal this afternoon, and I may not have this mouth in the next few days. ”
Donald rubbed the soft flesh off Finger's cheek with one hand and stuffed the roast meat into his mouth with the other.
"It's good to join the Anomaly, wait a minute, ......"
Anthony got up and went into the back room, and after a while a wooden pot came out of it, and when the lid was lifted, a sweet aroma overflowed.
"Wow, you still have this kind of good thing hidden, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Shrinking his nose and rubbing his hands, Finger in his arms was calling.
"This is my homemade fruit wine, not ordinary fruit, according to the recipe, I made such a pot myself, I usually don't want to drink it, it has a special effect...... It's good for people to relax. ”
"Haha, then I have to toast you. ”
Anthony was the first and only friend Donald had met in Dmingham, and there were some things that needed not to be said.
Half a pot of wine went down, both of them were a little drunk, and Finger drank half a glass, already lying unconscious in Donald's arms.
The crisis some time ago made Donald develop the habit of being vigilant at all times.
This state has been maintained for a long time, and it has been hard work.
Now taking this opportunity to drink, he also intends to relax his mental state, so his mind is a little flustered in the back.
"I'm telling you, the captain of my team...... Fool came, hehe~ I didn't care about the contradictions in the team, and I gave up my team members in the mission, but when I went to his station, the old members of the team actually had to move out, fortunately, I was smart, and I stood up all of a sudden......"
Throwing away the hard shell on the outside, Donald was actually still a young man, and it was only at such times that frivolous words would pop out of his mouth.
The smile on his face was very bright.
"Then your luck is not bad? ”
After another drink, Anthony was also in a strange state today, throwing away the dishes, picking up the roast with his own frost blade, and tearing it in a big mouth.
"Hey~ This is not necessarily, I think about it now, the decision when choosing people today is simply a stroke of genius, you see, I chose a waste captain, the prestige of the team is not high, it seems that only one person listens to him, and he is still a girl with average combat ability, and the person who went in with me is now on my side, waiting for me to find an opportunity to ...... them No, I have to keep my heart, I'm not a bad person, I can't kill people casually, I can't ......"
Finger took him into his arms, and Donald's expression added a hint of struggle.
Half-drunk and half-awake, some dark thoughts in his heart involuntarily leaked out of his mouth.
This is not a bad thing, a lot of things have been held in my heart for a long time, and there is going to be a problem, and venting it through this wine is a kind of catharsis.
As long as you can take it, then you can.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Anthony, who was half-leaning on the table, heard the word "killing" in Donald's mouth, his face suddenly became hideous, and he spat out three killing words, and then calmed down again, and continued,
"Friend, I'm glad you're out on a mission...... Luckily...... I don't want to be your enemy, you are very powerful, whether it is combat power or brain, I can feel that you are not an ordinary person......"
This one is not an antidote to hangover and vent, and he expresses his heart directly.
When Donald woke up again, it was dusk outside, and the pale red glow of the setting sun reflected off the cleaned tabletop.
"Uh...... The head doesn't hurt and it's comfortable. ”
I thought that there would be a sour headache after being drunk, but I didn't expect that my mind would be refreshed, and Donald even felt that the bottleneck of the clock meditation method had loosened.
"How does it feel? I get drunk easily when I drink this fruit wine, but it doesn't have any symptoms after drinking, it makes people more sober. ”
Anthony came out of the back room wiping his hands with a towel, looked at Donald who was "slumped" in his chair and smiled.
"Good thing, remember to brew more next time you have time, let's go, I also made an appointment to meet, and I'll drink it when I come back." ”
Donald was also going to meet Gonitz and ask him about energy formation.
"The restaurant will be closed for a while, and I have something to do and I don't know when it will be done. ”
Holding up the closure sign in his hand, Anthony's smile seemed to mean something else.
"In this case, then I wish you success in advance. ”
Pick up Finger, put it on the suitcase next to him, and get up to say goodbye.
Ten meters out of the restaurant, Donald always felt as if he had forgotten something, he seemed to have said something when he was drinking, and Anthony seemed to have said something, but he couldn't remember anything.
In the end, it was just a meaningless drunken talk, and he smiled helplessly, and when he turned around, he saw that Anthony was hanging up a sign that was closed.
After glancing at the time and heading to the land area, Gonniz seemed to have been free, and came out without saying a word after receiving a call from Donald.
The place where the two met was the last time they met was by the bridge, and Nancy followed this time.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, the rainstorm week is a little difficult, hiss~ Your Excellency Goniz, you seem to be a lot older, is it my delusion?"
As soon as he said hello, Donald's gaze stayed on Gonniz's face and asked with some confusion.
He didn't mean to be joking, but a real feeling, they had met once before the rainstorm week, and it had been less than 10 days now, and the wrinkles on Gonniz's face were obviously much deeper, and his body looked rickety.
"Isn't this a normal thing? Growing up is a blink of an eye, and aging is naturally a blink of an eye, and it is not impossible for a person of my age to die in sleep one day. ”
There was some truth in Gonnitz's words, and Donald nodded thoughtfully, and began to talk about what he wanted to ask for evidence this time.
"Energy shaping? oh...... This is an extremely rare talent, and according to you, it does work very well with your meditation and control talents, and it's normal for you to read about it in books and want to know about it. ”
Goniz paused, as if to consider his words, and then continued,
"Energy shaping, on the surface, is the ability to knead dough, it can change the form of energy, such as a ball of fire, and if you have enough mental power, you can turn it into a snake, a bird, or something. But I think this is only a superficial perception, in my opinion, energy shaping, itself is the essence of the wizards' spells, we use magic circles, seals, chanting prayers, etc., the root of the essence is to shape all kinds of energy into the form we want...... If you have the Elemental Formation, coupled with your own control ability and the stable mental power exercised by the Clock Meditation Method, you may be able to directly bypass the intermediate step, that is, directly manipulate the energy through your innate ability, so that they are arranged in the way you want, and go directly to the last step, and the spell is released!"
Why did Donald have to talk to Gonitz about this elemental talent?
Here's why, if Donald thinks about it himself, he may be able to think of some of it, but it definitely won't be so thorough and ...... Hit the nail on the head!
"I have thought many times about what level of wizard your Excellency Gonitz is, and with such a brilliant insight into all aspects of wizarding, you are not one of those bards who hides in the alleys of the streets, in search of the legendary savior...... Wait, am I the savior?"
I don't know if it's because of the alcohol he just drank, Donald's tone of voice has jumped a lot, and he is still in the mood to joke with Gonitz.
"Haha, Mr. Grant's idea is really interesting, in fact, I also have a little selfishness of my own, I work so hard to answer your questions, not just to make money, you just said, I'm getting older, Wilder is a man, he can withstand the pressure of life, I believe he can live well, but Nancy is different, this child has been following me, there are big flaws in his personality, I have found many doctors who can't cure me, if I am not there, the most worrying thing is her ......"
He looked at Nancy with infinite love in his eyes.
"Uh...... I don't plan to marry and have children yet...... Besides, it's only the first time I've seen Nancy? ”
Donald thought to himself that this old man would not like his handsome and dashing appearance, promising job and elegant and witty conversation, and wanted to entrust Nancy to him.
I can't help it!
"Ahem~ Mr. Grant misunderstood, I think Nancy is also an alien, maybe she will participate in the Heterogeneous Bureau in the future, and you will also be an old qualification in the Heterogeneous Bureau at that time, don't you? I hope you can take care of it more. ”
Gonitz didn't swallow his coffee, choked a few times, Nancy hurriedly reached out to pat him on the back, and only said with a helpless wry smile when he recovered.
"Of course, if I see Nancy in the Bureau of Anomalies in the future, I will try to take care of her, and if I become an investigator, it is not impossible to recruit her to my side. ”
"That's great, Nancy, thank you Mr. Grant, if you go to the Alien Bureau, you must work under Mr. Grant. ”
"Hey~ Thank you, what should be, what should be ......"
Donald touched his nose very embarrassed, it was true, but if he met Nancy after he became an investigator, he would recruit her to his side, in fact, it was more of a polite word, and he was still a newcomer.
Who would have thought that Gonitz would take it seriously......
