Chapter 17: Old Things
"Hmm......"
The quilt on the bed suddenly moved, and then it calmed down again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a while, the door was pushed open again, and Elaine quietly walked into the room, and sighed helplessly when she saw that Alan still hadn't gotten out of bed.
Since the semester is already halfway over, the two courses that Allen chose to take have ended, which has caused the originally tight course time to become relaxed all of a sudden, and today is a day when there are no classes to take.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up!"
"Don't worry, there is no class today. Allen's unclear voice came from the quilt, and a bit of lazy breath came out with the voice, which made Elaine a little sleepy.
Although there are still matters to be resolved today, Alan is not in a hurry at all. Of course, this is not all because Alan is lazy, anyone who spends a night reading the complete list of mainland plants and minerals is afraid that he will not want to get up the next morning.
Elaine had apparently seen the two books on the table that had only been borrowed yesterday, and understood why Eren hadn't been able to pay off, but she still complained a little.
"Your Highness, I've told you many times, don't stay up late to read, you...... Okay, then call me again when you get up. With that, he gently closed the door and left Allen's room.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Allen, who had been nourished by divine power, was obviously far more energetic than ordinary people, but after sleeping in bed for half an hour, he had fully recovered.
Picking up the clothes that Elaine had prepared for herself on the hanger and putting them on, Alan couldn't help but wonder if he would not need to sleep at all in the future if he continued like this.
Although she didn't want to alarm Elaine, she still heard the movement.
There was a soft "click", the door was pushed open again, and Alan turned his head to look, today's Elaine was different from the past, although she was still wearing a white cloth skirt, but the skirt was embroidered with a lace at the waist, with a hint of beauty in the plain elegance, and her long and silky hair was not tied up as usual, but casually draped over her shoulders.
Seeing Alan staring directly at him, a few traces of blush crept up on Elaine's cheeks, lowered her head slightly, and whispered: "Your Highness, your clothes haven't dried yet, so ...... It's rude. ā
Alan didn't think that Elaine was rude at all, he felt that today's Elaine was much more beautiful than before, and he wanted to praise a few words, but he was afraid that she would have other thoughts.
"Elaine, I don't have so many rules, you can just do whatever you want. ā
Elaine, who has been with her for many years, naturally understands that Allen's words are not perfunctory, but she has long been accustomed to being strict with her every move, and she did not say anything.
"Your Highness, come and dine. ā
After eating a breakfast prepared by Elaine, well, it was actually the breakfast distributed by the school cafeteria, but Alan just felt that the bread in Elaine's hands was softer and the milk was more mellow, and the was nothing more than that.
Sitting back at his desk, Alan picked up the materials he had sorted out overnight and checked them one by one, what happened in the pawn shop yesterday made Alan curious about drugs on the mainland, so he borrowed these two books from the library.
The primitive drugs are nothing more than plant drugs extracted from plants and mineral drugs extracted from minerals, and their respective representatives are opium and Wushisan. Therefore, Alan spent a night searching for all kinds of plants and minerals in the Holy Spirit Continent, hoping to find this poison-making line from the source.
It's a pity that when Alan carefully checked the information one by one, he didn't find anything, there didn't seem to be anything like poppies on this continent, although he found all the materials of Wushisan, but ......
"The Wushisan in the historical record does not match the situation when the man had a seizure yesterday, and now there is no trace of the poppy, could it be that he just had a seizure of epilepsy?"
The search for Alan was fruitless, but it was then denied, and the conversation between Hank, the store manager, and the other person clearly showed that they knew what had happened to the young man, and it was absolutely impossible for him to have a seizure.
While Alan was investigating the matter, in another place, three people who had been notified were sitting around and discussing nervously.
"How is this possible, didn't you two say that everything was already done?" Thor was wearing only one underwear, although he was not on the list of people stationed in the Forbidden Mountains, and did not have to abide by the rule of armor, but this kind of dress was too eye-catching.
Sure enough, Hanssad couldn't stand it anymore and rolled his eyes at Saul, "Can't you get dressed first? ā
Thor snorted, grabbed a coat from the hanger next to him and draped it over his body, not caring about the owner of the clothes.
Les didn't care about such trivial matters, in fact, from the moment he knew the news, he had kept his head down and said nothing, but the hand holding the hilt of the sword showed that Les was not at peace at this time.
"How can this be, if there is a trouble, it will be another big disaster, this is in the imperial capital of the dragon, not a small place!" Thor muttered as he stared at Hanssad, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly run away.
Hansard understood the reason why Thor was staring at him, and his tone was a little helpless and unwilling, "Why are you looking at me like this, you think I am willing to do what happened back then!"
Thor tugged at his coat, which had slipped a little over his shoulders, and looked away from Hanssad's face, knowing that what he said was not adulterated, and that Hansold, though he had no mercy on bandits, was indeed not a murderous man.
Hansard rubbed his smooth chin, and he had been watching Rice's movements since just now. It was the two of them who went to deal with the matter back then, and Hansard asked himself that there was no omission in his errand, so the problem could only be on Rice's side.
And the small movements in Rice's hands also made Hanssad confirm his thoughts, it seems that he not only has omissions, but may even be deliberate!
"Rice, what do you think. Hansard propped his chin in his right hand and spoke nonchalantly, but his eyes were fixed on Rice's eyes.
Les slowly raised his head when he heard this, and Hansard saw confusion and pain in his eyes, but these emotions quickly disappeared, leaving only determination.
"You help me stabilize the Watcher's side, and I'll settle the 'Dream Realm' matter. ā
"How do you solve it, I don't have a clue now, we still wait for the ...... of the Pope's crown"
At this point, Thor suddenly stopped, and he noticed that the atmosphere in the room had suddenly become very oppressive.
"So, it's really you. Hansold suddenly changed his usual and straightened up to face Rice, and anyone could hear the displeasure in his tone.
"What's wrong with him, though he invented it, he didn't use it to harm anyone! and, if I really want to say it, he's a victim!" Rice stood up and yelled at Hansold.
"All I know is that the order is to clean it all up. I trusted you to deliver people to you, Les. Hansold also stood up, without a trace of fire in his movements, but seemed very relaxed and casual, but Thor on the side felt that there was a hint of murder in the oppressive atmosphere in the room.
