As for who will succeed Planck in controlling the Abyss, there is still no result in the end.
Chen Senran and Planck stood on the shore for a while, and then returned to the self-management center building.
This is actually a very ironic fact, when Planck, the once pirate king who once roamed the endless sea, was really crowned king, he could no longer go to sea as a pirate.
He had a whole city, his kingdom, and he had to live in his castle like a king, calculating every day who should die for his throne.
And his pirate group, which once came and went like the wind, may be about to disband, and his pirate ship, inherited from his grandfather, will also face the fate of forever docked at his private dock and never sailing, slowly rotting.
Because he was so suspicious, he didn't trust anyone.
He didn't dare to give his best efforts to others.
Chen Senran knew this very well.
The purge of the entire Bilgewater lasted for almost half a month, and by the time the situation on the entire island was completely stabilized, it was already January.
It's starting to snow in Bilgewater.
The alliance, which had been delayed for nearly a month, was finally put on the agenda.
Once again, the meeting was held in that dimly and dreary fourth-floor conference room, after several consultations.
The Covenant was tentatively settled, which included the obligation of Bilgewater to cut off all shipping lanes between the continent of Valoran and Ionia until the liberation of Ionia, and to send land forces to support it if necessary, as well as to provide the necessary war materials, etc.
And Ionia. It was the duty to fight with Bilgewater against the parliament after the complete liberation, and the content of the confrontation was tentatively to issue a public declaration, refuse to trade with the mainland, and if necessary, wage a war of resistance with Bilgewater, etc.
Although during the negotiation, Chen Senran felt that Irelia was too tender, resulting in many details being too bad, but after that night, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided Chen Senran, coupled with Planck's surveillance of Irelia. As a result, Chen Senran had no way to say anything more to her.
Fortunately, this is not the final covenant. Irelia can't do it alone, and she needs to bring the Covenant back to Ionia's rebel leader, Karma the Apocalypse, to finalize it.
Chen Senran was not too worried.
It's just snowing, which hinders Irelia's journey. Originally, she was going to go back to her life the same day. But this heavy snow from the sky made it difficult for her to move an inch.
Planck also said. Wait a few more days, get warmer, and go back when the snow stops. Because in order to show the sincerity of the alliance, he first sent a part of the sea forces to help Ionia, and by the way, it was regarded as an envoy.
And the envoy was Chen Senran.
Regarding this, Chen Senran was not surprised, he was now the most trusted subordinate under Planck, and his ability was also the strongest, and he would not make a mistake as this messenger.
It's just that Planck is really bold, he knows that he has some unknown relationship with Irelia.
He even dared to send himself to Ionia.
Is it a temptation?
"Is it a temptation?" Chen Senran took the warm wine in front of him and asked Graves opposite.
But then he shook his head again, and replied to himself, "Whatever." ”
"Shall we follow?" Graves asked in a low voice, "Will it be ......?"
"No, he wants to move me, he can move me now, there's no need." Chen Senran shook his head, "You stay here, keep an eye on the rumors for me, and by the way, take care of Fitz." With that, he patted the head of the little fishman sitting next to him and smiled.
"Hey, Jack, don't pat me on the head, I've heard people say that if you're always patted on the head, you won't grow tall." Fitz dusted off Chen Senran's hand a little depressedly, "I, Fitz, am going to grow into the most handsome fishman in the history of the handsome and dashing place." ”
"The most handsome fishman in history?" Chen Senran and Graves both laughed when they heard this.
"What about that guy?" Chen Senran found out that the madman Draven was not there today.
"Crazy in the backyard, practicing his axe, he's ......," Graves said, lowering his voice, "he's always a ticking time bomb......
"I understand, so I'll take him with me this time, and since he likes to kill, I'll let him kill." Chen Senran pursed his lips and smiled a little inexplicably.
"He's a good candidate." Graves nodded, "Well, hehe, you're ...... this time."
The last few words, Graves replaced them with a somewhat lewd laugh, his face full of unspeakable laughter.
"Honestly, ...... that night"
"What that night, you don't talk nonsense." Chen Senran's face also turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly coughed, "It's nothing." ”
"Don't deny it, I didn't say anything, you're right, Fitz, there are some people......" Graves laughed wickedly again.
"Huh? yes, last time, you and that ...... How's Miss Irelia? Fitz also had a gossipy expression on his face, "I heard that the two of you walked by the sea all night, and you are going to Ionia with her this time, hehe......"
The kid also smiled lewdly.
"Ahem, cough, cough, cough......" Facing the little fish man and Graves, who had been completely broken, Chen Senran could only cough and make righteous words, "I don't understand what you're talking about at all, okay, I'm going to see a friend now, Ge Pao, is there any sake?" ”
"What kind of Ge cannon, is Lao Tzu a male gun?" Graves snorted unpleasantly, then narrowed his eyes, "Sake? The Ionian kind? Who are you going to see? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, just take it." Chen Senran shook his head, opened the window, and took a deep breath of cold air filled with ice and snow.
Outside the window, it was snowing heavily.
What a snowstorm.
"Now, take it, authentic Ionian Higashishima sake, this year's new rice base, cold spring water." Graves casually said that a delicate small bottle was thrown to Chen Senran, "Remember to warm it before drinking, it tastes better." ”
"Cold Spring?" Chen Senran took the bottle of wine and walked out the door with it.
The snow on the street was incomparably heavy, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes fell one by one, all sticking to Chen Senran's body, making him a snowman in less than a moment.
But he didn't call a carriage to take him off, and walked through the snow step by step.
Friends, friends who like to drink sake.
Naturally, it was the sword hero Yasuo in the wind.
It's a snowy night like this, and it's very lonely.
It's a blessing to have a pot of warm wine to drink.
Following the route he had taken last time, Chen Senran walked for nearly half a moment before he came to a dilapidated hotel.
The old signboard had long been buried in the snow, and only an oil lamp was half-lit at the door.
After walking through the first floor of the hotel and down the stairs to the second floor, Chen Senran knocked on the fourth room on the left.
Let's hope this guy didn't move so soon.
"Who?" Yasuo's voice came from within, with a sharp and scorching voice.
"I, old friend, have brought you wine." Chen Senran knocked on the wine bottle in his hand.
The porcelain bottle made a crisp sound in the air.
“…… Come in yourself. Yasuo said after a pause.
Pushing open the somewhat Ionian East Island-style sliding door, Chen Senran walked into the small room that was a little depressed.
"How can there be no wine on such a snowy night?" Chen Senran walked generously in front of Yasuo, and regardless of him, he put the sake in his hand on the stove and began to warm it.
"Are you really blind?" Yasuo was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, his waist straight, and he looked at the blind man in front of him who was warming wine.
"I'm blind, but I know you don't have any wine tonight." Chen Senran was not polite, and sat in front of Yasuo anywhere.
"How do you know that I must have no wine tonight?" Yasuo asked the boring-sounding question seriously.
"You may have other sake, but you won't drink it, on a snowy night like this, you will only drink sake, but unfortunately, your last pot of sake has been drunk." Chen Senran also replied seriously.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground, both straightened their waists, facing each other at a distance, with serious expressions.
However, there is quite a bit of Ionian East Island people's posture of sitting and talking.
"Yes, on such a snowy night, in my hometown, it is still comfortable to drink sake." Yasuo sighed and stood up, "Such a snowy night......"
He opened the window and let the snow blow on his face.
"I haven't seen snow in my hometown for many years."
He closed the window again and sat back down across from Chen Senran.
The wine was still warm on the stove, but it was already exuding a faint aroma.
"The base made of this year's new rice, the water of the cold spring, hum, the water of the cold spring......" Yasuo sniffed his nose and laughed, "You have a heart, thank you." ”
"You're welcome, the last time I drank your wine, of course I have to pay it back, it's just a courtesy." Chen Senran shook his head and smiled.
"What do you want?" Yasuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the man opposite.
It's a pity that Chen Senran is blind, and he can't see his eyes no matter how he is.
"I don't want anything, I just think you're a good friend." Chen Senran still shook his head.
"Friends?" Yasuo raised an eyebrow, "That's a strange word to me. ”
"Strange...... Chen Senran laughed even more.
"Boom-" The bottle shook.
"The wine is ready, let's try it." Chen Senran raised his hand to signal.
Outside the window, the snow fell without a trace. (To be continued......)
