Chapter 104: Punctuation
In the end, Zhu Jue still didn't see the priest behind the door.
Even if the Earl of Otland personally ordered him to come out, the latter still only said behind the door that he was inconvenient.
Zhu Jue didn't force this, saying that he didn't care, he always had to see him when he got to the beach, and Aotlan said that he couldn't leave this drinking party now, as the host, if he didn't appear, it would undoubtedly be considered extremely rude, so Zhu Jue needed to wait until the end of the drinking party to follow them to get the scorching box.
But before he could do that, he had to make sure the keys were there
"Lishana, you should know where the key is, don't let people know that you have taken it, especially the guests in the Chamber of Commerce's inn, there have been many people secretly inquiring about the news of the Scorching Box recently. β
Standing at the door, Zhu Jue explained what Lishana would "don't" do later, and hinted at her with eyebrows.
"I understand, I won't let anyone know. β
Lishana naturally understood what Zhu Jue meant, the Scorching Box did not have a key at all, and the latter asked her to return to the Chamber of Commerce Post Station for only one reason, that is, to tell Luo Belin about the situation here.
"You two, follow her, make sure no one is following you, and get the keys as soon as possible. β
Ordering the two beside him to follow, the Earl of Otran stopped paying attention to Zhu Jue, and took the remaining blonde man into the back room.
"Sir, you can go to the reception venue and wait, and when Sir is ready, someone will send you to inform you. β
The butler came in from the door, ready to leave with Zhu Jue, who glanced at the still closed door before leaving, just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much.
The show is yet to come, so let's eat and drink enough for the time being.
The Earl, who had just departed, and his personal guard, had not gone far when they stopped in one of the dressing rooms inside, where several maids were making preparations for his final reception with these trinkets.
"That sacrifice, a guy who doesn't dare to appear in front of others, is not trustworthy. β
Otlan sat on the velvet cushion and gold corner bench with his eyes closed, as if talking to himself, and the maids beside him were busy with their own work, and did not mean to answer.
"Sir, I can feel an ominous aura on him, maybe it's a dark wizard...... He is definitely not to be trusted!"
The blonde young man, who had been leaning on the ledge behind him, stepped forward quickly, he had never looked down on the strange wizard, and he repeated the earl's words in order to strengthen his tone.
"Barov, can you kill him, to be honest!"
"Of course, Lord Sir, if you give me orders, I can give you his head whenever and wherever you want. β
The confidence that was so strong that it was almost blind was revealed in the words of this young man, and he could be hired as the personal guard chief by the Earl of Otlan, who had the highest status in the region of Dilas, and his strength was naturally the strongest in Dilas.
"Then there's nothing to worry about, go get the treasure tonight, you choose a team of people, I will go with you, the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce will send a few people to watch at will, young man...... Let him stand far away, although it won't affect anything, but I don't want to be treated as a robber, the transaction is a transaction, and he must do what he says, as for the sacrifice, after the things are in hand, he will naturally be useless, find an opportunity to dispose of him. β
As a count-level nobleman, Otlan may not have the strong confidence of Barov in his words, but he has a sense of calmness, which is the confidence of a big man who has controlled the seaport of Dillas for more than 20 years.
No one on his turf can challenge his authority!
"Your will will be carried out. β
Barov has always supported his employer, who gave him a transcendent status and treatment, and in return, he must of course show his due value.
And there was something Barov didn't say explicitly, that is, he had smelled a thick smell of blood when he happened to approach the priest, and as an experienced warrior, he immediately realized that the other party might have a wound.
Not to mention that he knew where the treasure was but didn't take it himself, but chose to tell the count the news to trade the treasure, which in itself means that this guy's strength is not strong, otherwise he would have gone to seize the treasure himself, how could he sell the news.
You must know that even the two young men of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce know to keep secrets, doesn't he understand?
If he can't kill even a wounded dark wizard, then what qualifications does he have to call Dellath the strongest?
The conversation here is still going on with you and me, and Zhu Jue on the other side has arrived at the reception venue.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhu Jue has participated in this kind of drinking party,Five years ago, when the Grotesque Studio became famous,Whether it is the invitation to the annual meeting of the group to which the cloud map website belongs or the invitation to the other sponsor's drinking party,Almost every week or two, the studio's mailbox will be stuffed,At that time, he was either shooting outside or sitting at home chatting with wind chimes and Wutong and a few people and fart,Every time it is Lotus Ye who pulls the mailbox, all are selected,Deleteγ
With a bottle of wine in his hand, Zhu Jue didn't even have the interest to look at the drinkers around him, so he left the drinking party by himself, stopped at the lawn by the fountain in a nearby Ginza, and sat down straight while there was still some sunset in the sky, leaned back against the fountain, lifted the cap of the bottle and poured his mouth.
"Studio......"
Feeling the wine burning his throat and submerging his stomach, Zhu Jue lowered his eyelids and subconsciously looked at his side, in the past, at this time, the wind chimes would accompany him.
No one can never be heartless, because there will be some kind of obsession in everyone's heart.
Zhu Jue is the same, his obsession is not difficult to guess.
Grotesque Studios.
Five years ago, he relied on this small studio to shoot his first video with rudimentary equipment, and he still remembers it vividly.
It was the beginning of a soul from the past to find sustenance in the future, and after that, Zhu Jue suddenly had a goal, and the hunt for the monster of the source of spiritual pollution was no longer purely for the sake of "survival" that seemed meaningless to him for a while, but a very meaningful thing.
As a result, the studio disappeared completely because of his own sleep, Zhu Jue didn't seem to care, still giggling, but he left a big pimple in his heart.
This is also the reason why he is so hostile to "Zero".
In the same way, while passing on the depression in his heart, Zhu Jue actually had a lot of unhappiness hidden in his heart, and now he suddenly remembered it, and put it bluntly...... I really feel uncomfortable.
Zhu Jue didn't think about re-establishing the grotesque studio, but this time of chatting with Wutong and Lotus Ye let him know that now the two of them have their own careers, one is already a well-known reporter, that is Lotus Ye's college professional counterpart before entering the grotesque studio, and it is also her original ideal, one inherited part of the family business, and began to run around for business affairs.
In the final analysis, it is not them who have been sleeping for five years, and at the same time as wishing for five years, they are no longer the young men and women of the year, and they have officially entered the society and have their own responsibilities.
Can Zhu Jue call them back?
Even if these two people are willing to put down the affairs at hand, Zhu Jue will not open this mouth, it is unfair to them.
Can the Grotesque Studio be renewed?
Today, five years later, this sentence still leaves a big question mark at the end.
The reality made Zhu Jue feel melancholy, but he hoped that one day in the future he would be able to turn this question mark into a long ellipsis.
And when he was drinking alone, someone nearby quietly approached.
The girl stood on the steps, the huge emerald on her chest glittering in the afterglow of the setting sun, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the person by the pool in front of her.
It was a man of great stature, even as he sat on the edge of the fountain, his legs out of the lawn, his feet resting on the edge of the gravel path, holding the bottle upside down, and only faintly seeing the amber liquor falling into his mouth through the mouth of the bottle.
Maybe it's because of the open neckline, or maybe because the crimson sunset renders most of the clothes, but the black formal wear that should represent rigor has a unique meaning on him.
Indulgent and sad.
The girl who wanted to come forward to talk to her stayed where she was, and the guards behind her were a little confused, until the person they were looking at suddenly turned his head.
The melancholy in those eyes dissipated in an instant, replaced by a deep, wary gaze.
Now you can't pretend you don't know anything.
Somewhat embarrassed, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and stepped forward, the girl raised her hand to stroke the bright golden hair in front of her forehead, her pretty face was half exposed, and she took the initiative to speak: "Hello, my name is Virt." β
"If you have something to say, just walk away if you have nothing to do, I'm busy. β
Zhu Jue raised the wine bottle and said angrily.
He's not in the mood to be teased right now.
"Uh...... Good. β
Velt blushed, pursed his lips and turned to leave.
She actually had something, but she also knew that it was undoubtedly a fool's decision to ask the person in front of her for help at such a time.
