053: Luis's request

The celebration lasted until late at night, though the impulse made the movement a little bigger, very, very big to be exact.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference between a wizard and a god, so you can imagine what kind of behavior everyone will be like when a wizard appears alive in front of people's eyes.

There was shock, there was fear, and more was awe, but overall, Roshi was very satisfied with this exotic celebration, and it was rare for him to appreciate what it was like to be the focus of attention.

In his previous life, as an ordinary person, in fact, he has always been the kind of person who annihilates the public, and this kind of thing has nothing to do with him at all.

It stands to reason that he should feel uncomfortable and nervous when he suddenly stands in the spotlight, but Roch may have accepted his identity as a wizard in his heart, and he naturally lost that kind of nervousness in front of ordinary people, but on the contrary, it was the people around him who were nervous.

It could be seen that because of his presence, the people present could not fully enjoy the atmosphere of the festival, so Roshi and Christina danced a few dances, drank a few glasses of wine, tasted a few delicacies, and then consciously left.

In the manor of the Golden Roses, Louis had prepared everything for the dinner, and the food and drinks in it were more than a hundred times more upscale than those in the square.

However, at this time, Roshi was more looking forward to chatting with this old friend about the past, and since what he had just eaten had not yet been digested, he did not taste it.

The reception room of the estate.

A spotless plush carpet of white fur lays out on the plaid floor, and the warm summer night breeze blows in from outside the balcony along the high floor-to-ceiling windows, lifting the off-white curtains.

Four unusually beautiful maids, dressed in black and white neat maid attire, stood in the living room, in front of them a pair of fluffy leather sofas, on which Roch and Louis sat on either side.

I haven't seen each other for twenty years, and the two have talked a lot about the past.

He talked about Roshi's first encounter with Luis when he left the mysterious island, about Algar, and about the crew of the Tulip.

He also talked about him and Alan hiding in the forest to avoid the war, and Louis came to the cabin to find him on a snowy day, and everyone gathered around the fire to roast game.

Those days were a very comfortable time for Roshi, and the impact has always been more profound, not to mention his extraordinary memory, even if he wants to, he can't forget it.

However, many people Louis can't remember clearly, and even if Roshi mentions it, he only has a vague image, and many times he agrees with it.

"By the way, what about Captain Dale? Why didn't he come with you?" Talking about his old friends, Roshi naturally didn't forget the captain with two small beards.

But as soon as he asked, he regretted it a little, because he remembered that Dale was older than Louis, and he didn't come together, I'm afraid...

Really.

Hearing Roshi's inquiry, Louis smiled and said: "Dale's old guy has been gone the year before last, and in those days he estimated that his time was about to come, and he left the port alone on one of the most luxurious sailing ships of our chamber of commerce, saying that he is a captain, and the end is in the sea instead of the land, this idiot, he has been crawling with me on land for most of his life, and he is still playing this game at this time, you say it's funny." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I'm almost there, I thought I might not be able to meet you again in this life, but I didn't expect to finally get this wish." ”

Louis said this very calmly, as if he were talking about something ordinary.

Roshi didn't understand how he managed to face death calmly, but Roshi seemed to be able to feel that he wouldn't feel fear even if death would come in the next moment.

Roshi was a little sad for a while, although he repeatedly avoided some facts, but he had to admit that in his heart he still regarded Dale, Louis, and Allen as friends, and it could be said that he was the only friend.

He will be lonely when he travels, but he rarely feels lonely, because in his heart he has always subconsciously felt that he has companions, not alone, but temporarily separated from his companions, everyone is working hard for this goal, and sooner or later they will still be together.

But...

"I'm sorry, but wizards aren't everything. Roshi said apologetically

Of course, he doesn't want his friends to leave, but the length of ordinary people's lives is always difficult to change, even if there is a way to extend it for a short time, sooner or later there will still be another day.

"It doesn't matter. Louis shook his head lightly: "Your Excellency, you have helped us enough, if it weren't for you, maybe Louis would now be just a sloppy aristocrat who borrows wine in a country tavern, not to mention, I have lived enough, and this life is wonderful enough!"

"Actually, I didn't help you much...," Roshi said apologetically

Roshi may have given them some help, but they have to admit that Louis and they were able to have the great inheritance they have today because they have walked down step by step, not by the power of wizards.

"No!" Louis shook his head very seriously on this matter, "You have given us help, and this help is irreplaceable, without which none of us can get here." ”

After a pause, Louis continued, "That's the chance!"

In Luis's eyes, life is like a gamble, the difference is that everyone at the table has different chips from birth.

The same chips can only be fought at the same price table, and the difference in chips required for each table is unimaginable.

No matter how skilled a gambler is, no matter how hard he tries, he will always wander around one or several gambling tables under the limited time limit.

If it weren't for meeting Roshi, giving them a lot of chips and accumulating raw capital, Louis didn't think he could get to where he is today, and when the gap between ideals and reality is infinitely widened, in this endless gamble, maybe just a small defeat can crush him and go to the abyss of failure.

After a pause, Louis suddenly said with a serious expression: "My lord, I came here this time to see you again before leaving, and there is another thing I want to ask you, I hope you can agree!"

Roshi was stunned, in the image, Louis didn't seem to have taken the initiative to ask him, and at this time, he didn't even seem to care about life and death, what was it worth talking about?

"Speak, please. Roshi said

Louis sighed softly, frowned, and said, "This thing is not about me, but about Allen, about the future of all that we have done. ”
