Walking down the street, Marin with an umbrella, was on his way to the National Publishing House to hand in a new manuscript today.

The girls were all busy, and no one had time for him, which made Marlin miss the weather in the snow - the last time it snowed so heavily at Fort Carter was six years ago.

However, compared to six years ago, Fort Carter now has too much popularity, a lot of heating emissions, and the refined salt that the city hall pulled from the sea salt field to spread, and it snowed overnight, but it didn't accumulate.

Lady Spotted's eldest son, Kagard, runs ahead of Marin, and the young spirit cub has infinite vitality and doesn't seem to care about his mother's departure.

What a kid who is comfortable with the status quo.

Although it was a leopard, the appearance of Kagard did not cause a commotion - all the citizens of Fort Carter knew that it was Marin's pet, and the two sides passed by peacefully, but it was a human cub who often tried to catch Kagard, but how could they catch such a sensitive spirit animal, Kagard let them grasp it, and then ran back to Marin's feet as fast as he could.

"Mr. Marin." The police officers next to him raised their hats and saluted.

Marin smiled and nodded, accepting his greeting.

"Mr. Marin." The members of the town hall who passed by Marin took off their hats.

"What's the matter, White?" Marin looked at the young man.

"You know my name, sir, next year's budget has been prepared, if you have time, please come to the finance office to confirm it."

"No, tell your Director Gao De, I believe in his professional ability." Marin smiled and rejected the young man's trespassing—it was the mayor's job after all, and he would have passed it if he intervened.

"Yes, sir." The young man left with the joy of being able to strike up a conversation with Mr. Marin.

Marin raised his eyebrows, feeling that this young man had energy and eyesight, but it was a pity that there was such a Mr. Marin.

Treat him badly.

Kagard noticed the comer, and he ducked behind Marin.

"Marlin." Lord Marian of the Church of the God of War approached, looking a little haggard.

"Your Excellency, I still haven't been able to find those two apprentices of yours, I want to ask about them, but you also know that the tide of death is approaching, and I really can't contact them at this time." Marin finished in one breath, waiting for the land to answer.

"I know, I understand, Hoffman's child, I still have time ......to wait," said this, the old man glanced at Marin: "You are alone with an umbrella today, what are you doing?" ”

"Go to the National Publishing House, there is an anti-teleportation circle in that ghost place, last time I heard that an unlucky guy opened the door, opposite the center point of the black zone, and almost didn't come back." What Ma Lin is talking about is the youngest apprentice of the Lord of the Sidney Central Mage Tower, talented, high-spirited, and wrote some things that are appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, some of them couldn't wait, and they opened the teleportation channel regardless of the ban, but the coordinates were reconstructed by the anti-teleportation array, and this kid didn't pay attention, so he entered the largest and most fierce black area in the east with one foot, and half of his body in the past was distorted, and it was Marin who gave him fruit to drag him back from the ghost gate.

The Lord of the Great Tower owes Marin a great favor for this - this little cub is his illegitimate son, and he and his wife and six daughters, such a little bastard, although it is impossible to straighten it, but it is also his son anyway.

In this regard, Ma Lin can only say that he will not die if he does not die, and hopes that this young man can change his mistakes, otherwise he may not have the opportunity to enjoy Mr. Ma Lin's great kindness next time.

"You said that kid, I see, I'm here to see the new apprentices of the church, who are in charge of hunting giant rats in the new district, and I hope their toes are not bitten off."

Speaking of the joke that spread among the churches, both Marin and Marian laughed.

Laughing enough, Marin shook hands with the old man and parted.

The little leopard watched the old man leave step by step, and then began to run back in front of Marin.

A group of apprentices from the Church of Mercy walked around the corner, and the senior apprentice in charge noticed Marin, who hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency. ”

"Ah, boys, where are you going today?"

"The new apprentices of the God of War Church are dealing with giant rats, and the assistant priest asked me to take the children over to take a look, if there is a wound, it would be more professional for us to deal with it, wouldn't we." When the senior apprentice said this, he smiled a little shyly and begged Marin: "Your Excellency, you see that the students of the church are all your first aid techniques, can you give a lecture to the new children when you have time?" ”

"No problem, you take a time slot, if I have time, let's come for two classes." Marin doesn't mind if it wastes his time - after all, two classes may be able to save more lives for these children in the days to come.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, and I will convey your mercy to the Bishop when I return."

"Just teach and educate, children, go, and don't wait long for the sick that may exist and await you."

Marin smiled and watched the children leave.

Kagard was rubbed on the head by several children, a little puzzled and a little nervous, but in the end he didn't fight back, just let the children touch him.

"Good boy." Marin took out a small piece of jerky and handed it to Kagard, and the little snow leopard bit the jerky and whimpered in satisfaction.

Moving on, Marin saw the boy and girl who had been blessed before, and he snuggled happily with her under an umbrella, completely oblivious to Marin.

He and she were on the other side of the street, and Marin smiled as two young men walked into the open door of the house with the food and supplies they had bought.

This must be where they rented.

Coming to the front of the publishing house's building, Marin shook the umbrella in his hand, put it away, and handed it to the guard outside the door, who glanced at Kagad, who was wiping his feet on the insole, and finally opened the door for Marin with a smile: "Our president is inside, please come in." ”

"By the way, Miss Secretary." Marin asked casually, usually when he came, it was this lady who came to greet him.

"She's pregnant, she's giving birth, sir." The Guardian said.

Marin was a little puzzled - didn't she say that she was unmarried?

With such doubts, Marin walked into the publishing house and saw the same scene as usual—the assistant in charge of the reception, the secretary's assistant, a girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, was sorting through the mountains of papers.

Four authors who have already made appointments are sitting in the lounge area drinking tea and playing cards.

There was also a female author sitting in a single seat on the street drinking coffee, and her little child noticed Kagard: "Cat! ”

This turned everyone's attention to Marin, who smiled and raised the flat hat on his head: "Good afternoon, gentlemen, and Mrs. Rons." ”

"Good afternoon, Mr. Marin." The gentlemen who played cards responded to Marin with a smile, and then continued their battle of cards.

And Mrs. Ron looked at Marlin and smiled, "Good afternoon, Mr. Marin." ”

Marin motioned to Calgard not to resist Mrs. Rons's child's playfulness, and then greeted Mrs. Rons: "Madam, you have come to deliver the manuscript again today in place of your husband." ”

"Yes, you don't know about Rons's situation, he just can't get out." The lady noticed the pleading in the girl's assistant's eyes, and she smiled and pointed to her own kind: "Mr. Marin, the young girl needs you." ”

"I see." Marlin smiled and turned his head, and with a lift of his hand, the papers in front of Miss Lisa began to float, and they began to assemble in their previous arrangement.

The stapler began to work automatically, and soon the papers were bound and returned to Miss Lisa.

"Thank you, Mr. Marin." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and she stood up: "Sir, you still have to wait a while, so, do you want to drink?" ”

"The same old thing, black tea, with brandy." Marin finished speaking, walked to the counter and sat down, there were some wood elves on the counter, and the little ones were dancing around a flower, Marin reached out and teased them, and the little ones let out a shrill laugh.

The girl, as an assistant, quickly prepared everything for Marin, and she watched Marin take a sip and smiled very happily after waiting for the praise in response.

"Miss Lisa never made us tea." The authors of the cards are heckling.

It gave the girl's face a little more flushed shyness.

Marin didn't care, he looked at the girl: "Assistant, that lady of yours, why is she married?" ”

"I met the right person, I also suddenly heard that she got married, and then it didn't take long for her to have a child, I heard that it was a very young neighbor, he and her unexpectedly reunited after more than 20 years, both parties are not married, and they both pretend to be each other in their hearts, it sounds like Mr. Marin, you wrote, but the ending has changed for the better."

"Ah, is that so, what about you, assistant, where is your neighbor?" Marin held his left hand on his cheek and let Fio join the Wood Elves in the ball with his right hand, and the little ones happily danced a round dance, and more and more elves appeared and joined in.

"I don't!" The girl replied with some sadness.

"How could it not be." Marin was stunned for a moment and asked strangely.

"I went to an all-girls school." The girl's answer made Marin grin.

You see, male and female branches are indeed the worst enemy of early love.

"By the way, Mr. Marin, what did you write this time?" The assistant girl watched as Marin placed the manuscripts on the counter covered in a leather bag.

Marin noticed that the players had slowed down, and he had noticed the absent-mindedness of the lady who was looking at the snowy scene.

"Assassin's Creed, a story of what some seek and what some protect."

Marin said this, and at the same time added a sentence in his heart.

In fact, it is a terrifying story of what they pursue and what they protect when it is twisted.
