Chapter 269: Lovegood's Banquet

At this moment, an extremely melodious and tactful minor tune sounded in Allen's ears.

Alan lowered her arms embracing the sky and the sea, and looked down to see that Luna was already sitting on the reef, her hands on her knees, humming a song leisurely.

Alan also sat down and listened quietly.

To the accompaniment of the waves, Luna's singing voice is even more ethereal.

"When the sun meets an eclipse at midday,

All of a sudden, it was dark.

thereupon

Finding peace in the wanderings,

Finding pleasure in indulgence,

When you finally get tired of it,

You want to start life all over again,

In a way,

More worthy of the way of the immortal soul,

Gain inner peace,

Resurrection of life. ”

The waves crash against the reef and the wind rustles the leaves.

Alan was amazed, for the first time in so many years, he felt true peace of mind.

Time seemed to have been pressed on pause, and Alan was immersed in such a wonderful feeling.

However, time has passed after all, and they must go back to the banquet.

"It's such a lovely place, isn't it?" said Luna.

"Yes, Luna. Alan looked back and glanced nostalgically at the vast, deep sea.

In fact, Alan himself didn't know whether it was this sea area or Luna's singing voice that made him completely relaxed.

Perhaps, both.

"Leaving here makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it?" Luna's big eyes were fixed on Eren again.

"Yes, alas!" Alan sighed and stopped.

Although he has been smooth sailing since his rebirth, the brain occlusion technique that is running all the time, and the subconscious panic of the unknown world has always existed.

Alan can't remember when he had such a relaxed and happy feeling, maybe it was in his previous life?

"That's always the way things happen in the world. Luna's voice was extremely ethereal, but it was extremely comfortable to listen to Alan's ears.

"You have found a pleasant place to stay when a voice calls you to get up and continue on your way, for the time for rest has passed. Luna gently stroked her long windswept hair.

"Do you have to go?" Alan asked Luna softly, as if asking herself.

"It's up to you, Alan. Your will determines your destiny. Luna looked at Eren with a look that was both gentle and serious.

For the rest of the trip, neither of them spoke, but the kind of spiritual deed made the distance between the two people closer and closer.

Alan and Luna made their way through the mountainside, onto the trail, through the courtyard, and back to Luna's home.

When they enter the warm room, they can't believe their eyes.

The furniture was polished and shiny, and the vases were filled with flowers.

The bedroom and living room have been renovated as much as they can.

The hall has also been scrubbed, with huge carved wooden clocks, steps and balustrades of the staircase polished to sparkle like glass.

"Daddy isn't here. Luna stared, looking left and right.

In the direction of the kitchen, the sound of clicks and ping-pong was heard.

Luna took Alan and walked away.

This is the strangest thing Alan has ever seen is the kitchen.

The room was standard round and felt like staying in a giant pepper shaker.

Everything is curved to match the walls: the stove, the sink and the cupboard, and are all painted with flowers, insects and birds in bright primary colors.

Mr. Lovegood, on the other hand, stood at the stove, waving his wand.

His crazy expression seemed not to be cooking food, but directing a symphony with a high melody.

"Ah, you're back! It's getting late, but I'm glad I have enough ingredients. ”

Mr. Lovegood crumbled and said aloud with pleasure.

Afterwards, Luna and Alan are tasked with setting the dishes.

In the dining room, the plates in the sideboard are shining.

When Mr. Lovegood's dishes were placed on the long table, and all the cups and dishes were neatly arranged, the room became lively.

Guests to the banquet arrived one after another.

At this time, the hall was full of people and filled with a joyful atmosphere. The deep tones of the gentlemen, the silver-belllike voices of the ladies blended together.

Above all this, Monsieur Lovegood's loud and cheerful voice can be clearly heard, welcoming the witches and wizards to the house.

Everyone talked and savored the strange food on the long table.

"Ha, Xenophilius! your food is indeed a novelty and delicious. This issue of the special magazine should be selling very well. Have you ever thought about printing it?"

Alan followed the prestige, and saw that the wizard who spoke was a gentleman, with rather white hair, and his eyebrows and beard were still black, which made him look like a noble elder.

"Mr. Echton, if you are willing to invest, we can print as many copies as you want. ”

Mr. Lovegood looked eagerly at the magnificence of the wizard.

"Haha, Mr. Lovegood, your food is indeed good, but we will talk about the investment later. Today is a banquet, and we don't talk about business. ”

Mr. Echton had completely forgotten that it was he who had brought up the matter of the seal in the first place.

"He's not going to invest. Luna whispered in Alan's ear.

Eren looked at her suspiciously.

"He just enjoyed the thrill of my dad asking him for help. Luna calmly poured herself and Alan a drink of strange color.

Alan looked at the frighteningly thick green liquid and asked strangely, "What is this?"

"Raw cheek juice, my favorite. Luna looked at Alan expectantly, for the first time she had shared her favorite drink with a friend.

Looking at Luna's expectant eyes, Alan couldn't bear to refuse and took a sip.

A cool, cool liquid slides over the tip of the tongue and into the throat.

A slightly bitter, yet very sweet taste took over Alan's throat. It makes him feel like he is on the green grass after the rain, and it is very comfortable.

"What a drink!" Alan exclaimed, taking another sip and savoring it.

When the last guest left Lovegood's house, Mr. Lovegood slumped into a leather chair in front of the fire.

It seems that between his eyebrows, not only exhaustion, but also a trace of sorrow.

"Daddy, isn't anyone willing to invest?" Luna walked over, knelt down, and rested her head gently on Daddy's arm.

Mr. Lovegood shook his head lowly.

Alan stepped forward graciously, "Mr. Lovegood, perhaps, I can solve your troubles. ”

Mr. Lovegood looked up in surprise, as if he had just discovered Alan, and looked at him in astonishment.
