Chapter 352: Candlelight Dinner
Mark looked coldly at the girl who was following him in front of him, reflecting the dim moonlight at the mouth of the port, and could vaguely see that this was a beautiful girl. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She bit her upper lip and bit her lower lip, her eyes looking upwards at herself, her hands crossed on her abdomen, her clothes buttoned in her lower pockets, and she looked at herself with pity.
"Your wallet."
The girl's appearance made Mark's heart soften. He reached for his waist, took the pink money bag, and handed it to her.
Looking at the hands with black gloves, his money bag was safely placed there. Nicole glanced at Mark in surprise, she really couldn't understand, why did he give so much? She thought it would take a lot of trouble, or something else....
"Take it and hurry up." Mark frowned at the girl, his voice low and hoarse, "I don't have time to play with you here. β
Nicolle happily took the purse, and she bowed to Mark, her golden hair falling down like a waterfall. A fresh fragrance rushed towards Mark, who hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
"Thisβ" Nicole looked at Vigilant Mark with some surprise, and then, as if she had thought of something, she said curtly, "This is the smell of my hair, not some poison...."
"Before I change my mind! Grab your money bag and hurry away! Mark covered his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice, "Otherwise..."
"I'm leaving! I'm leaving! Nicole smiled and hurriedly retreated towards the mouth of the alley.
When she retreated to the mouth of the alley, Nicole beckoned to Mark, and then ran away.
After a long time, Mark slowly walked out of the alley, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one, he slowly moved towards the goal.
What he didn't expect was that Nicole, a little girl with too much curiosity, was still following him.

In apartment 001 Iva Crusader Square, Locke and Norris are sitting at opposite ends of the table, on which are several plates of food cooked by Locke.
In the middle of this long table, a few large candles flickered there, dispelling the darkness in the house.
Locke got up and picked up the transparent wine bottle next to him, walked up to Noris, and poured the wine like clear water into the wine glass in front of her.
"Please enjoy slowly, my beautiful young lady."
Maybe the occasion was different, this time Nollis didn't give Locke a cold face. She gracefully picked up the leg of the transparent wine glass and took a small sip.
"Pure Silvermoon City Bordeaux?!" Norris looked at him with some surprise, "How did you get it?" β
"As far as I know, the Bordeaux family has been killed in their own estates when the undead invaded." Norris put her nose next to the glass and sniffed it vigorously, then said with some emotion, "I will never forget the smell of magic, I haven't absorbed magic for a long time. β
"Yes, this is pure Silvermoon Bordeaux. This is something that I have brought to my attention to by Major Maslan of the port. Locke smiled and looked at Norris across the table, "I know, you definitely like the smell." No one in the High Elves would refuse this. β
"Huh." Norris smiled bitterly, she put down the wine glass in her hand and looked at Locke opposite, "You know what? When the sunwell was contaminated by Alsace, what kind of life did we demon addicts live? β
"That must be uncomfortable, I understand." Locke shrugged his shoulders, it should be the same as the drug use in his previous life. Of course, Locke had never touched that thing in his life, and he thought it should be so.
"Having lost the magic of the sunwell, we are shrouded in pain, confusion, and suspicion. We've lost the magical energy we need to survive, and we, the people of Quel'Thalas, have become decadent. Countless people have become heartless and walking dead because they are not consumed by magic and cannot resist the erosion of demon addiction. Norris shook the Bordeaux wine in the quilt in front of her, her eyes fogging.
"During those dark days, I watched my relatives and friends around me become monsters because they couldn't resist the corruption of demonic addiction. They forget everything and only follow the instincts of the beasts, snatching together items that possess magic and sucking the magical energy from them. β
Norris gently picked up the Bordeaux wine in her hand, looked at it seriously, and spun it. Then, under Locke's astonished gaze, he poured all the wine on the ground.
"I don't have a magic addiction anymore, I don't have to use magic anymore." Norris sighed, she turned her head to look at Locke, a smile on her face, "I paid a huge price to quit my addiction. Thank you for your concern for me, thank you. β
"Ha, what are you still polite to me? You are my woman, do what you can, as you should. Locke comforted her, but his hands were not slow. He picked up his knife and fork, inserted a few pieces of fish and shrimp into the plate in front of Noris, "Come on!" Try my cooking skills. β
Norris looked at the busy Locke with a smile on her face.
"Say, let me come tonight for more than just dinner, right? What else? Norris smiled and looked at Locke, who was battling a pair of prawns.
"If there's anything to say, hurry up, or I'll be on my way to Quel'Thalas in a few days."
Locke put down the prawns in his hand, wiped his mouth and hands with a towel beside him, and took a sip of Bordeaux before looking at Noris, who was looking at him intently.
"It's nothing, I just feel like we need to ease up."
"You look good with a smile, why do you keep a straight face all day?" Locke looked at Norris with a grin, "Don't you know that your smile is beautiful?" β
Norris looked at him with a smile still on her face, her elbows propped up on the table, her hands arched together and her chin held up and said to Locke, "You like me the way I look?" β
Locke looked at her carefully, and in the candlelight, Norris looked like a beautiful princess, which made his heart beat a little.
"I like it!" Locke nodded hurriedly.
"Then who is better than Bridget and Whitemayne?!"
Locke's face stiffened suddenly, and he looked at Norris in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
Looking at Norris, who was waiting for his answer with interest, Locke had no choice but to flatter, "You look better than all of them when you laugh." β
Apparently this answer pleased Norris, and she smiled even more.
In order to divert this embarrassing topic, Locke hurriedly asked about the Council of Nobles.
"What do you have to do to get the vampires of the Council of Nobles to listen to me?"
Norris picked up a fork and put a small piece of toast in her mouth, she smiled and said to Locke, "I know one thing from the events of the last trial. You don't understand politics at all, or rather, you don't understand what you have. β
This made Locke sound uncomfortable, I didn't watch a lot of news in my previous life, and it was unreasonable to say that I didn't understand politics, right?
"Don't be in a hurry to contradict me, listen to me slowly." Norris smiled and glanced at him, "Fortunately, you're not stupid, and you'll become smart immediately after a loss." I know how to use the power in my hands to build a safe fortress for myself. β
