Chapter 308: The Limits of Possibility
When Elias came to Anna's house as an ordinary person, all he saw was the door that had been completely locked and Schultz crouching in the doorway with a lonely expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he was carrying a backpack, and today was the day he had agreed with Maffeo to leave Osente. To be honest, he was pleasantly surprised when he got the news, and he had a crush on Maffeo who had helped him, and he was happy to venture out with Maffeo, who was wandering around the world. On the day of parting, he wanted to say goodbye to everyone he knew, but when he arrived at Anna's house, all he was faced with was an empty house. "Frederick?"
Schultz raised his head, his lonely expression lingering. "Sister Anna...... Gone ......."
"What?" that undoubtedly surprised Elias.
"This is a letter left by Sister Anna, I think it was given to you. Schultz pulled out a crumpled envelope from his pocket, with tears on it, but Elias didn't know if it was Anna or Schultz.
He took the letter almost in a hurry, and his actions did not surprise or even frighten Schultz. He has always known the delicate feelings between the two, and he has been trying to match the two outside of work. It's just that every time he is taught a lesson by Anna, she thinks that Schultz is just a little ghost who has not been deeply involved in the world, and should not be involved in the affairs of adults.
"Dear Elias. Forgive me for my deception to you, there are many things in the world that people can continue to write to each other, those unforgettable stories. Some people will be comforted by the gods, but reality often gives them a wake-up call. I don't want to stay in Aucente anymore, in fact, it leaves me with many bad memories. But when I think about it, this place has left me with many good memories. I probably put it so seriously that I'll never forget the time I spent in Aucente. You're a good man, Elias, and I hope you won't be too tired in the rest of your life. Your position requires you to put on a mask, a mask that is completely contrary to yourself. Also, I'm a little worried about Frederick, and I'm a little uneasy that he's with that ghost. I may be a little cautious, but since it's your decision, I'll respect it. And Frederick also has a crush on Frye, and I hope he can find his own way. I'll come back and see you if I get the chance. Of course, it depends on my mood, "haha". - Love your Anna. ”
Elias couldn't help but laugh, bitterness and reluctance mixed with a smile. He slowly closed the envelope and slipped it into his pocket. He turned and looked in the direction of the harbor, and he could hear the sound of ships anchoring. "Goodbye, Anna......"
There was always one thing to face, and Elias didn't mean to blame Anna in her heart. On the contrary, although he is reluctant, he is happy, and he is happy that the people he cares about can find their purpose. Now, only Schultz remains, and he is about to embark on his own path. "Come on, Schultz, let me take you to the Northern Beaches. ”
"Is this really possible?" Schultz asked, still unable to let go of Anna's departure.
"Are you worried that Sister Anna will meet some bad guys?" Elias touched Schultz's head, trying to make him happy.
"No, I just regret that there was no result between you. Schultz said depressedly.
"That's not something you should be thinking about, so, do you want to board the Black Shark?" Elias stood up and held out his hand.
Schultz was stunned for a moment, then said. "I'm gone, you're the only one left in Osente, you'll be lonely. ”
"You little devil, I still have my father, I still have my soldiers, I have this whole town. Elias laughed.
"You're lying, you're obviously lost. Schultz said in a gambling tone.
"If you don't leave, I'll go and tell Captain Fischer to set sail at once. ”
Schultz immediately jumped up like a spring, which also played into Elias's heart, and the true thoughts of his heart are often revealed in his words and deeds. Schultz didn't realize he was being tricked, but said. "I'm going, I've been waiting for a long time, a long time for an opportunity for me to travel to the outside world. ”
Elias nodded, "Let's go, then." ”
It was drizzling in Ocente, and all the merchants did their best to pull up sheds that could shelter themselves from the rain, just to protect their goods from the rain. Normal life is close, but yet far away. Maybe they're the happiest people, maybe they're the most depressed people. And in all this slightly chaotic scene, two figures, one large and one small, walked side by side without fear of rain and kept the same rhythm.
When they arrived at the northern beaches, Adrian, who was already ready to set sail, was pacing back and forth on the beach waiting for Schultz's arrival. He didn't complain, he didn't show a displeased expression, on the contrary, he seemed very indifferent. He probably knew a little bit about Elias, and he certainly knew what a loss it was for him to send away such a little imp who had a deep affection for him. But nothing is perfect in the world, and that only exists in dreams.
Along the jungle along the coastline, Elias led Schultz to the Black Shark. He was followed by Flory Ram, the guy who had fought Maffeo at Anna's Tavern. He survived the rebellion and became Elias's new assistant. He met the two by chance in the central square, so he was also ready to give him a ride to the familiar Schultz.
"Sorry, I think maybe it's a little late. Elias began by expressing his apologies to Adrian.
"It's okay, young man, there aren't many young people like you who have the patience to talk to an old man. Adrian smiled and patted Elias on the shoulder, he admired the other party.
"Remember, don't make trouble, do you hear me?" Ram patted Schultz on the head, who glared back. "You're the troublemaker, Flory. ”
"Hah, interesting. Ram laughed.
"Go ahead, Frederick. Elias yelled at the Black Shark.
So Schultz walked to the pedals that led to the deck of the Black Shark, and he looked back at the two men almost every two steps. It wasn't until Rahm waved at him in a pretended impatience that Elias didn't stop him, and he slowly picked up his pace. Then he saw Maffeo on the deck smiling at him, and he responded with the same smile.
"Don't you need to tell me anything, Captain?" Ram asked.
Elias smiled and shook his head. "No, his life is his own. ”
"I see. ”
Looking at the Black Shark's receding back, Elias said to Ram with some loss. "Can you have a drink with me today?"
"Captain?"
"Just relax. ”
"No problem, Captain. ”
The Black Shark left Ruava Island in a drizzling rain, and as it passed through the port of Ocente, almost all the guys on board looked back subconsciously. At the docks, a recruit who had joined the garrison wearing a rain cloak was waving goodbye to the Black Shark. His innocent appearance made almost everyone on the ship laugh at him. Although many people were laughing at him, he still waved his hand firmly. Schultz liked his move, and he was waving to himself.
