Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Reunion After Many Years

"Who woke me from my slumber. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Old Field's soul opened his eyes, looked around for a moment with a puzzled gaze, and said, "It's you, Catherine, didn't you say try not to disturb me? Say, what's the matter with waking me up? And, where is this?"

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, I know that disturbing you will affect your recovery, but I think it's necessary to wake you up now, or you might blame me. Catherine said apologetically: "This is the Holy Capital, but not in our mansion, in the villa area of Manias Street." ”

"Why did you come here, you can't have the money to buy one of the villas, well, I don't think so. Master Merlin frowned, but did not continue to dwell on this issue, and directly asked, "What is it that makes you have to wake me up?"

"Well, there's a person, I think you need to meet you, Grandfather. Catherine's eyes were a little cunning, she forced a smile, and said with a serious face: "This person's situation is very special, and the relationship is very important, if I can't meet you in time, I'm afraid it will cause very serious consequences." ”

"What kind of person is it that makes you so cautious. Old Field was full of doubts, and turned his gaze to the Marquis of Snape, who had not spoken a word since he appeared, after all, there was only such a person in the room who seemed strange to him, and he could naturally judge at the first time that Catherine was referring to the old man in front of him. However, more than forty years have allowed Snape to move from middle age to old age, and it has also made great changes in his appearance, Merlin can't recognize the other party's identity at all, so he can only say to Catherine: "Little Catherine, aren't you going to introduce this old gentleman?"

"Well, Grandpa, I don't know who he is. Catherine cleverly hid the smile on her face like a lady, blinked narrowly, and said, "I thought you would know who this man is, grandfather." ”

"You headache child, how could I know, it's been so many years, I'...... Wait?" When Field said that after so many years, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and under the influence of this inspiration, Merlin involuntarily closed his mouth and looked at the old man in front of him repeatedly. No doubt he had never seen the old man in front of him, but he always felt a little familiar, and if he looked closely, if he straightened his rickety back, and plumped his lean figure a little, and flattened the furrowed skin on his face like bark, and added hair to the shiny crown of his head, it would seem to become more familiar. Old Field rubbed his eyes vigorously, although it was impossible to be dazzled in the state of the soul, but Merlin still did it, because he seemed to see that the old man in front of him and the image that he would never forget in the depths of his memory were slowly overlapping, and he had to doubt that he was dazzled. However, even if he rubbed his eyes vigorously, he couldn't change everything he saw, and the old mage's soul began to flicker under the violent ups and downs of his mood, as if it was about to escape at any time, and it flickered for a while before he trembled and said, "Nouveau riche, is it you, nouveau riche." ”

"Bastard Merlin, damn broken nobleman. Hearing this title, which he had not heard for more than forty years, the Marquis of Snape felt his heart clenched for a moment, and the sour sensation rushed from his chest to his nose, causing tears to pour out of his eyes like a spring. Although it is only a sarcastic title, both the tone and the voice are so familiar, even after more than 40 years, they are still familiar as if they were still echoing in their ears yesterday. The old marquis pressed his turbulent chest tightly, as if if he did not do so, his heart would jump out of his chest, and for a while, the excessive excitement made the old man unable to utter a complete sentence at all, and could only let out a violent gasp. With the help of Catherine stroking his back, the old marquis still gasped for a long time before calming down a little, and stammered: "I haven't seen you for more than forty years, you damn broken nobleman haven't given up this title yet, bastard, I warn you, now I'm not an upstart, now I'm the Marquis of the Neville Federation." ”

"Oh, the Marquis I bought from Neville, I understand, but I don't see any difference in my eyes. Merlin snorted haughtily, looked around the room, and sneered: "I should have thought that it was yours, but you, who else can maintain such a bad taste for more than forty years." Snort, Master Akama's voice of hope is an insult to Master Akama to use a red number seven frame instead of red five, and the roaring guardian of Master Broken Silver's metal relief is in a brown carpeted room, which is only your taste dares to do this. ”

"Hahaha, idiot ragged nobleman, this is your granddaughter's room. Snape not only didn't get angry at Merlin's sarcasm, but got up from his chair and crossed his hips and laughed proudly: "I knew you would be sarcastic about me as soon as we met, so I just let little Catherine arrange the room for me, hahahahaha, you have nothing to say now." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Merlin's face remained unchanged, and he habitually stroked the short beard under his chin, and nodded to Catherine as if he was very satisfied: "You have a good eye, and you know that the placement of works of art cannot be vulgar, and you must make the viewer feel new." Well, this No. 7 red frame is very creative, although it is not like the No. 5 red frame, which can set off the hope conveyed in the painting more intensely, but it forms a subtle contrast from another angle, making the whole painting more meaningful. Very well, worthy of being the heir to the Field family. ”

"So, I hate you broken aristocrats. The old marquis slapped the armrest angrily and said angrily: "In the end, you just want to despise my taste, right?" ”

"That's right. Master Merlin responded equally loudly, and the two old men stared at each other like two vindictive children, as if they were about to fight at any moment.

However, after gasping and glaring at each other for a while, the anger on the faces of the two old friends thawed at the same time, and they let out a burst of hearty laughter together, and at the same time opened their arms and walked towards each other, and after more than forty years, they hugged each other tightly again.

But the next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly.

The two old friends who wanted to hug each other found that each other's bodies had passed through each other at the moment of contact, and all they hugged was air.
