Chapter 0626 - Epilogue (1)
The mortal world was calm and on track, the king issued a new decree, the commoners gained more power, and the people cheered, and the real hero was at home at the moment worrying about his clothes for going out, his clothes were stained with some mud, because it had just rained, and he accidentally fell when he went out, and soiled his clothes, but this was the only one in the closet.
"Foster, today is the day you explain the new decree to the king, why are you still in your room?" complained the girl, who had just come back from buying some vegetables to prepare lunch.
"Martina, I have soiled my clothes, and I must not wear them in front of the king. Foster showed his wife the dirty laundry.
Martina rolled her eyes. "You should have prepared more clothes, this dress is too old, I have warned you many times, but you just don't want to. ”
When Foster heard this, he said quite seriously: "No, this is the dress that Mr. Downing gave me, it means a lot, it reminds me that I used to be poor, and now that I have become a Justice of the Kingdom, I must not forget my roots, I must wear it, and always remind me that I should do something for the poor." ”
The two seemed to be about to quarrel, when there was a knock on the door, and the two of them shook for a moment, and Martina shrugged. "I think the king must have sent someone to invite you personally, and you must be ready. Then he went to open the door alone.
Foster sighed, put on his only soiled overalls, walked out the door, and when he reached the door, he saw someone coming.
Martina had forgotten who was coming at the door and was asking for the identity of the other party, and Foster hurriedly pulled his wife back. "God, Mr. Downing, you're back. ”
Downing carried a new outfit and showed it off. "When you meet the king, you must ensure that you look dignified, I should not be wrong about the size of your clothes, put them on. ”
Martina, apparently not knowing who it was, looked puzzled, and at this time the young man took off his hat. "Martina, waitress at the town bar, remember me?"
"God, it's you. The girl remembered.
Foster tried to invite the young man in to sit down, but Downing refused. "You don't have time for me, you have to fight for the interests of the civilians, that's more important, I have to leave, we'll see you later." ”
Handing the clothes to Martina, he turned back and pointed to a tavern across the street. "I'm going to take it down, so I'll be your neighbor later. ”
A brand new fleet appeared on the seashore, named the Dawn Fleet, and today this new fleet will re-enter the ocean to escort the merchant ships of the East, and the fleet commander is the young Billy and the experienced Hemingway, those sailors are skillfully raising the sails, and soon the ships will be out to sea, everyone is excited.
The new fleet was rebuilt by the two of them with investment from the merchants, and it took a long time for the two of them to do it, but it was a lot of good things, at least for now, and it didn't seem to be a wasted effort.
A black cloud appeared on the sea not far away, indicating that a huge storm was about to come, and by this time the fishing boats had recovered into the harbor to avoid accidents.
The new first mate rose up to report. "Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to wait until the weather is fine before we go to sea? ”
Billy and Hemingway looked at each other, and then replied in unison, "Set sail." ”
When the first mate was about to leave, he remembered another incident and turned back to report it. "There was a merchant who wanted to go to sea on a boat, and if we took him with us, he said that he could do anything, and even be a captain. ”
Who would have such a big breath, both a merchant and a captain, the two looked at each other and smiled, and asked the first mate to bring people over.
When the person was brought in front of him, the other party covered half of his face with the brim of his hat, and Hemingway frowned. "I suppose you'll have to take your hat up and let us see what a man looks like who can be both a captain and a merchant?"
The other pulled up his hat and showed his entire face with a smile on his face. "As you wish. ”
Hemingway and Billy both shouted at the same time, then laughed excitedly, and the two hugged each other, which aroused the curiosity of some of the crew members next to them.
Hemingway and Billy saluted under the gaze of all the sailors. "Dear Commander Downing, welcome back to the team, we will be your best right and right hand. ”
Elon Musk returned to his residence, still in the dense forest, but it is now the season of spring and summer, there is no snow, the climate is warm, and the fruits collected at this time are a little sour, and now Elon Musk has found that these fruits that are not yet fully ripe can be made into a new flavor of wine, which tastes quite good.
Lying on a tree, he picked the fruit and threw it under the tree, and after a long time, he found that he had climbed to the top of the tree, and from the top of the tree, he could see the scenery in the distance, and he picked up an unripe fruit and took a bite, and the sour man's eyes could hardly be opened. "Damn, it's hard to imagine you're the best choice for making good wine. ”
Sometimes sitting in the canopy of trees and admiring the carriage passing by on the road in the distance has become a pastime, a person's life is too boring, but he is already a lot of age, it is not suitable to find a partner, and the solitude of the second half of life is his only choice, he regrets that he did not go to heaven with the young man, although it is dangerous, but at least he will not be tormented by loneliness and loneliness.
The carriage passed by the road in the distance, and the occasional sound of some horses screaming, which became a good way to relieve loneliness, until the sun set, and it was almost time for dinner, and the picked fruit must be taken back as soon as possible and mashed, and the jam should be brought out, if it was overnight, the fruit would not be too fresh, and the wine would be a little off, although it had little effect, but he was harsh in this regard.
When he looked down and saw the person under the tree, the other party was hunched over the fruit on the solid ground, and was dressed in a basket placed under the tree, who was he, no matter who it was, so far the other party had done a good deed and helped himself a lot, Elon Musk said while climbing down: "Are you passing?"
The figure under the tree who was picking up fruit did not look up, still working. "Well, most of the fruit has been broken, so if you make the wine, it may affect the taste, so you have to pick out this part, maybe it is better to pickle a little sour fruit with a good wine. ”
Elon Musk paused for a moment, how did the other party know that he would use these fruits to make wine? But after thinking about it, these fruits are sour and astringent, and cannot be eaten, the only option is to use them to make fine wine, and after thinking about this, he continued to climb down, the tree is not small, and he had to be very careful when going down.
"For your sake, I've decided to treat you to a big dinner tonight, I shot an elk yesterday, venison tastes okay this season, put some pepper, and put some other condiments, it's more delicious than anything, you're in for a treat." ”
The man under the tree put the last fruit in the basket and sat on a stone under the tree. "That's right, I can't wait. ”
Elon Musk jumped off the tree, gasping for breath and complaining: "I don't know if I will be able to climb this tall tree this time next year, maybe I will have to think of some other way to avoid falling from the tree." ”
"It turns out that wizards also have such worries, and I thought it was just a trivial problem for wizards. The young man under the tree got up, walked up to the old man, and handed the basket to him. "You can use a little witchcraft, no one here will know about it, and there is no Holy See to restrict you now. ”
Elon Musk looked surprised, the other party actually knew that it was a wizard, he suddenly felt the danger aura, became quite vigilant, looked at the basket handed over, and said with a cruel smile: "Since you know my identity, then there must be something looking for me, not a passerby, hurry up, what do you want to do?"
The brim of the hat of the person in front of him covered his cheeks, and he couldn't see clearly, but he could tell from the back of the other party's hand that he was not very old, about twenty years old, and he was physically better than himself.
"Don't worry, the people who know who you are may not always be your enemies, they may be your friends. The brim of his hat was lifted slightly, revealing his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Elon Musk was stunned, and then a smile also appeared on his face, until it turned into a loud laugh, and he could barely straighten his waist with a smile, and he almost rolled in place.
When he couldn't breathe with laughter, he went up and struck the young man in the chest with his old fist. "It looks like the trip to paradise went quite well, I thought I'd never see you again. ”
Downing shrugged. "To be honest, the trip to heaven was dangerous, and you almost couldn't see me, but luck ended up on my side, and things went pretty well, at least I came back alive. ”
Elon Musk took the young man to the hut, and then immediately poured the wine he had brewed some time ago, and it seemed that there was no end to it, and it sounded like some daily troubles, but now it was chattering as if it would never be finished.
After a long time, Downing complained, "If you don't plan to provide me with something to eat, I'll have to leave here first to fill my stomach." ”
Elon Musk remembered this and immediately patted his somewhat bald head. "I'll prepare dinner later, and we'll eat venison. ”
He walked over to the kitchen area of the room and began to make venison. "So what's next, you're a busy man, and I think you'll have a lot of things to do, unlike us useless old men. ”
Tang Ning looked at the old man who was making dinner, thought for a moment and said: "I thought I would be very busy, but it seems that there is something wrong with our ideas, and now I am quite laid-back, and there is almost nothing to do, so I decided to find a suitable place, build a nice house, raise a group of livestock, have my own farm, and of course, it is better to have a good company." ”
Elon Musk's hand making the food stopped, looked back at the young man, and after a moment of silence, his face was delighted. "Don't go, stay here, let's do these things together, I just want to do it too, you look at the land here, we can go to the nearby town to buy livestock, everything is complete, I'm like you, I also lack a good partner." ”
"I thought so too. Downing's fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a slight sound, and a smile appeared on his face.
