Chapter 69: Lakes and Mountains
At the door of the Damblar restaurant, the waiter respectfully opened the car door, and Wren sat down.
Viola asked with a smile, "Come out so soon, don't you want to talk to your old lover more?"
"She's just a classmate, what a lover. Wren explained very calmly, held her hand, and said with a smile: "I only have one lover, and that is you." ”
Viola tapped her head with satisfaction, and keenly noticed that Wren seemed to have something on her mind, so she approached and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Daisia mentioned my brother, he's in the Transcendent Academy. Wren said calmly: "I don't have a good relationship with my father now, and I haven't seen my family for a long time. But it's all a trivial matter, just find a time to go back in the future and tell my father about it. ”
"If you need help, just let me know. Viola looked concerned.
Wren laughed, "I will." ”
The car was speeding down the street, and the car was Viola's special seat, and Wren asked the driver to drop him off at his apartment in the Los district.
The car was parked under the apartment building, attracting the attention of many workers who had just left work.
Most of the people who live on Cosham Street are foreign tenants, and the economy is not well-off, and cars representing the upper echelons of the elite rarely drive here, and at night.
Viola looked out the window and shook her head, "So you live on Kissum Street, and it's my first time here." ”
There was no disdain in her words, just a little novelty.
Wren smiled indifferently: "For civilians, it's already very good to have an apartment that can accommodate me, I used to be just a poor student, can I go to the Silver Star District to rent a house?"
"Yes. Viola was not unaware of the suffering of civilians, and looked at Wren, "I couldn't afford to live in it before, but now you have money, can you live?"
She knew that Wren had recently made a fortune with the Demon Hunter Master, and had joined the Demon Slayer team, and the salary was not low, and no matter how expensive the house in the Silver Star District was, she could still afford to live in it.
If it weren't for the fear of hurting Wren's self-esteem, she would have wanted to give Wren a house.
It's just a few hundred gold guilders.
Compared to the song "Viola by the Lake" that Wren gave him, it is really not worth mentioning.
Wren thought about it carefully, this apartment can indeed be returned, and he has basically spent the night practicing at the Basil Hotel recently, and now he rarely comes back.
You can also rent a house in the Silver Star District, which is convenient for everything in the future.
"Then I'm bothering you. Wren didn't say anything polite to Viola and agreed directly.
The two stayed warm in the car for a while, because they had just confirmed their relationship for a few hours, and they were suddenly reluctant to separate.
Viola is not a person who twists and turns, so she immediately had an idea and said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Dongting Lake for two days! Autumn is coming, it is the most beautiful time of the year in Dongting Lake, my song 'Dance in the Lake' is inspired by Dongting Lake, I have to go to autumn several times a year, this time you will come along?"
It's the beginning of September, the summer of the empire is over, and autumn is about to begin.
Wren hadn't been to Winterthunder Lake, and when he heard Viola say this, he suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Okay, but how do we get there?"
"Of course, it's on a steam yacht, and there are a few private yachts in the family, so I'll go back and let people arrange it, and I'll leave tomorrow. Viola was looking forward to it, and said happily, "You don't need to prepare anything, just go to the Silver Star Pier tomorrow morning and board the boat." ”
"It's all up to you. ”
Wren didn't rub it any further, kissed Viola lightly on the cheek, and said goodbye to getting out of the car.
The car drove away quickly, and he noticed nearby pedestrians, and behind the upstairs window, there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, whispering and talking.
"Can't live here anymore, it's too eye-catching. Wren muttered and walked into the apartment.
The next day, before dawn, Wren got up and washed up and began to meditate, and when he finished meditating, it was early in the morning, he changed into a new suit and went out to the Basil Inn.
Viola said that she was going on an autumn outing, and the arrangements would be very thorough, but Wren did not dare to let her guard down.
He went to the Basil Hotel, took his iron hammer and shotgun, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and got into the carriage to the docks.
Arriving at the docks in the Silver Star District, Wren found the steam yacht at a glance.
A white steamer is docked on the shore, about fifty meters in length, with three decks from top to bottom, and although it is steam-powered, the ship is equipped with tall masted sails, and the overall design resembles a large shuttle, with smooth lines and full of artistic beauty.
On each side of the hull is a very conspicuous emblem, with seven stars in a circle outside a silver flame, the family crest of the Silveri family.
People in the rest of the empire may not know it, but in Lonzand, no one dares to disrespect it.
The people on the dock looked at the yacht from afar, their eyes full of awe and envy.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looks like a butler is standing on the deck, directing a group of servants to decorate the yacht and move many things from the dock to the ship.
Wren didn't see Viola, she was supposed to be in the cabin.
He walked up the boarding ladder, where two guards in armor stood by, and when he saw Wren, one of them took the initiative to greet him, and asked respectfully, "Is this Mr. Wren?"
"It's me. Wren thought to himself, Viola really arranged it very well, and sent someone to meet him on the dock.
"Mr. Wren, please come aboard with me. The guards immediately went up with Wren.
The eyes of the people on the ship were attracted, and one by one they quietly looked at Wren and whispered.
They were all servants of the Duke's family, and they knew that Miss Viola was going out on an autumn trip with her friends today, and they heard that it was a young man, and they only invited him.
This is tantamount to announcing to the public that Miss Viola finally has a lover!
Everyone was speculating about who this lucky man was, and now when they saw the real person, their eyes lit up, at least in appearance, this young gentleman was worthy of Miss Viola.
Being stared at by so many people, Wren's face was as usual, he had long expected such a day.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Viola appeared in front of him, naturally came over and grabbed Wren's arm, and said with a smile: "You are here, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet. ”
"Then you came just in time, I made a few burritos and juice with my own hands. Viola was dressed in loose clothes today, casual and decent, with her long blonde hair tied back casually, revealing her small pointed ears, which did not hide her beauty at all, but had a unique homely taste.
"Then I'm going to have a taste. Wren lowered the sack in his hand to the floor of the cabin with a soft thud.
Viola guessed that it was Wren's weapon inside, and ignored it, just pulling Wren onto the second deck.
There is a set of small tables and chairs, on which a vase of flowers is placed, and the surrounding parapet is also decorated with gauze, and the deck is decorated as a balcony.
Looking up, I saw a set of plush sofas on the large deck on the top floor, and a harpsichord next to it, and I don't know how it was moved to the ship.
Wren could only sigh that rich people would really enjoy it, and then sat down.
Viola served breakfast, and Wren was indeed a little hungry, so he picked it up and ate it.
I have to say that Viola's craftsmanship is quite good, and this is the most delicious breakfast Wren has had since he crossed over to Ehrenus.
And it also represents Viola's heart, and he eats with relish.
Viola sat down to dine as well, but her posture was graceful and unpretentious, in stark contrast to Wren's gobbling up.
Soon after, the servants loaded all the things needed for the autumn trip onto the yacht, and then withdrew with the butlers, leaving only three or four to be served in the cabin, and two guards.
The yacht quickly moved away, leaving the dock and heading north along the River Felegren.
The Felegren River is the largest river in the dukedom, dividing the river into two, flowing from south to north, from the Duchy to the Dongting Lake, a short distance, only more than 200 li.
The distance unit of the Orienser Empire, also known as the "bow li", is based on the distance at which a legendary ranger shoots an arrow with all his might, and is divided into a thousand steps, one step is three feet, and one foot is ten inches.
Wren made a comparison and conversion, and one mile of the empire was almost equal to nine hundred meters on the earth.
Dongting Lake is not far from Longshande, and at the speed of this steam yacht, it can be reached in three or four hours.
The yacht quickly sailed out of the city, and the boats passing by on the river, seeing this yacht, many people cast curious glances.
Wren sat on the couch on the top deck, playing the harpsichora casually.
Viola didn't want to be too ostentatious, so she put on a straw hat and lowered a layer of white veil from the edge to cover her face.
Today's sky is blue, the sun is not blazing, and it is pleasant.
The water of the Fregren River is not turbulent, there are no very steep mountains on both sides, it is relatively flat, and there is no end to the field scenery at a glance, and the fresh river breeze blows on the face, which is refreshing.
The yacht's pilot and servants remained in the cabin below, and did not come up to disturb Wren and Viola, allowing them to enjoy their world.
Enjoying the riverside scenery along the way, eating food and fruits, and having beautiful people to accompany him, Wren felt very comfortable.
Before I knew it, half a day had passed.
"Winterthunder Lake has arrived. ”
Viola pointed to the water stretching out in front of her and said briskly.
The yacht continued on its way, and soon entered a huge lake, the shore of which could not be seen at all, if it were not for the clear and quiet surface of the lake, the turquoise water of the lake, and the delicate islands and hills dotted in the distance, I would have thought that I was at sea.
"Where are we going?" Wren asked, looking back at the lake and mountains.
"Not to Winterbolt City anyway. Viola had been here many times and had already planned an autumn outing, saying, "We went to the middle of the lake, and there was a beautiful island full of red spruce, and there were not many people visiting there. ”
A little more than an hour later, the yacht arrived at its destination and docked on the shore of an island.
As far as the eye can see, this small island is undulating and overgrown with tens of thousands of tall red spruces, whose leaves are dyed red in autumn.
The autumn wind blows, the trees sway, and the large red leaves ripple like ocean waves, and the trees are dyed and reflected on the surface of the lake, which is amazing.
In this situation, Wren wanted to sing a poem.
There were a few suitable poems in his personal library that he could copy, but he didn't know how to translate them into Orion, and it was too difficult to translate ancient poems.
After holding it for a long time, Wren finally said: ", it's so good-looking!"
Viola almost squirted the juice out of her mouth, but she managed not to lose her temper.
She couldn't hold back a smile and said, "When we arrive at Winterthunder Lake, should you play 'Viola by the Lake' to express yourself? ”
"So that's the idea you played. ”
Wren smiled helplessly, but did not refuse. In such a beautiful lake, it is indeed suitable to play this tune, which is very compatible.
He sat down in front of the harpsichora, inhaled softly, and the fingers of his hands fluttered, and the beautiful melody poured out from his fingers, rippling in circles above the lake.
Viola looked at Wren intently, listening intently, her eyes full of joy and pleasure.
As soon as the song fell, she applauded warmly: "It's so good, I like this song so much, Wren, thank you." ”
"You can come over and play it for me to hear. Wren gave up his seat.
"Okay. Viola stood up.
Wren leaned against the railing, ready to enjoy her performance.
Then a maid came up with a plate in her hands, with fruit and food in it, and she stepped up the stairs with her head bowed slightly, and went up to the top deck, ready to put the plate on the table.
Wren glanced at the maid, and suddenly felt that she was a little strange, it was not this maid who brought food before, and subconsciously opened the eye of the soul.
The maid's head becomes illusory, revealing a state of soul.
"Level 4 Gunslinger!"
Wren's face changed wildly, and before he could say a word of warning, the gunman of unknown origin lifted off the plate, revealing a soul gun covered with runes, and fired at Vio.
Between the lightning and fire, Wren did not hesitate to pounce forward, blocking Viola with his body, and at the same time opening the steel body with all his strength.
Bang!
A heavy gunshot rang out over the lake.
