Just when Sheng Yan was depressed and wanted to kill because of the snake man's words, Jin Shan and his party of four had already bought their tickets and were walking towards the huge steam engine ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mr. Kanayama, it's incredible! I didn't expect your method to work so well, I don't even know that the aether eye can be interfered with by lightning, you are really an extremely knowledgeable person!"

Being praised by a big beauty like Rou, Jin Shan couldn't help but blush and scratch his nose. Although he looks modest on the surface, he is happy in his heart.

"It's nothing, the essence of the Aether Eye is to collect and interpret electromagnetic waves, as long as it successfully interferes with the electromagnetic field, the Aether Eye will become an ornament-like existence, which is something that children know in my hometown. ”

"Really!? Your hometown is such a magical place. ”

The forcible behavior blew a wave on the earth, and Jin Shan had time to observe the steam engine ship not far away.

The huge gray steam engine ship was quietly docked on the dock, the thick chimney spewed black smoke hard, this is a cargo and dual-purpose ship, a special merchant ship belonging to the Sword Scale Chamber of Commerce, the gray hull is printed with the golden scales and the cross-sword intertwined Chamber of Commerce logo, adding a touch of color to the monotonous gray engine ship.

Seeing the huge chimney, Jin Shan's throat suddenly itched, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then muttered: "Ma Dan, I really want to smoke, it seems that I haven't smoked a cigarette since I crossed over, and I don't know if there are any cigarettes sold in the Holy Demon Continent." ”

Speaking of smoking, Jin Shan remembered that he was still a small smoker with a year's smoking history, although he was not addicted, but when he was free, he still couldn't help but want to take one. Since the crossing, because of the change of body, and the fact that there is no cigarette seller in the Demon Guide Continent, Jin Shan has forgotten that he still has this terrifying skill.

"Miss Water Spider, can I ask you about something?" Thinking that Rou next to him was from the Holy Demon Continent, Jin Shan couldn't help but ask him about the smoke.

"What? Mr. Jin Shan doesn't have to be polite, just ask!" Glancing at Jin Shan generously, Rou found that since he met Mr. Jin Shan, his personality seems to have changed a lot, and his usual self is not old-fashioned, and he is definitely a person who is not easy to get along with, but he did not expect to face Mr. Jin Shan so enthusiastically.

"Maybe it's because of Mr. Kanayama's knowledge!" comforted herself, Rou would never admit that she had always followed the ancient aristocratic etiquette and had developed a crush on the man she had just met, and this man was only a 16-year-old boy, although he had a daughter.

"Thank you!"

After organizing the language, Jin Shan began to ask: "Miss Water Spider, is there a place to sell cigarettes in the Holy Demon Continent?"

"Cigarettes, do you mean incense?" Rou's expression was a little confused when she heard such a thing as a cigarette for the first time.

"No, it's not that, I mean cigarettes, the kind you put in your mouth to smoke. Explaining, Jin Shan also symbolically made a smoking motion.

"Uh! I haven't seen anything like that. Qianchu, have you ever heard of cigarettes?" looked at Qianchu, because Qianchu had lived in this era longer, Rou believed that Qianchu should know more than herself.

"Cigarettes!? Can you eat them, don't they taste good, I haven't eaten anything like this yet." Qian Chu looked curious, he had a strong desire to explore things he had never heard of.

"When I didn't say it!" Covering her face, Rou turned her head away in embarrassment.

"Mr. Jinshan, neither Qianchu nor I have heard of such a thing as a cigarette. If you can, when you get to the Holy Demon Continent, I can accompany you to the imperial capital to look for it, where almost all the goods in the entire continent are gathered, and you should be able to find the cigarettes you mentioned. With an apologetic face, he said softly to Jinshan.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't, and thank you for your kindness, Miss Water Spider. ”

Lowering his head stupidly, Jin Shan was thinking about something else at this time.

"It seems that there is really no such thing as cigarettes in this world, and if it is possible, I can make a lot of money by making cigarettes. ”

Imagining that she became the richest man in the mainland with cigarettes in one fell swoop, Jinshan's saliva was about to flow, and when the time came, she directly threw a diamond card to Rou, and let her see what a real tyrant is. It seems that Jin Shan has been haunted by spending 20,000 gold coins.

Just as they were dreaming of spring and autumn, a group of four people had already walked through the escalator and came to the deck of the machineship. The few people didn't have any luggage, so they didn't need to rush back to the cabin, so they just gathered together in front of the railing. It was only then that Jinshan had time to take a look at the general appearance of Victoria Harbour.

The rain faded away, only a drizzle remained, and the sky began to brighten, and the narrow Victoria Harbour finally revealed its true face. On both sides are towering cliffs, the height is a thousand meters, but the harbor is not large, because the cliffs on both sides are relatively close, the harbor is distributed in a "U" shape, and the four of them boarded the ship from the front, just opposite the Gate of Ivy a few hundred meters away.

Fingers tapped on the fence on the deck, and a sense of melancholy suddenly rose in Jin Shan's heart.

"I'm finally leaving...... Avril, I'm going to take Nightmare to the Holy Demon Continent, and I don't know what you're doing now, you should be taking care of your flowers, or maybe you're making cakes, remember that your favorite thing besides taking care of flowers is to make the desserts I gave you. But most likely, you miss us as much as we miss you, and I still have a nightmare. But I promise that in less than three years, I will definitely gain enough strength to come back and take you away and reunite you with Nightmare, trust me, Avril!"

As if to say his last goodbye, Jin Shan silently murmured the last few words, and he raised his head to look at the sun that had finally revealed his body through the dark clouds. Shredded sunlight poured down, illuminating everything that had once been hidden. Like the universal ending of a redemption movie, sunshine heralds the end, but it is another beginning. Farewell, Avril, farewell, Wizard Continent!

As if to keep the sunshine in his heart, Jin Shan looked slowly from top to bottom, and when he saw the huge red airship in the sky, his eyes suddenly widened.

"That's ......"

"Angelina, I didn't expect you to ......"

"Don't call me by that name, I'm Avril, not Angelina. Avril looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression, and his upright figure was set off by a decent white trench coat, and although he had been absent for seven years, his familiar appearance was as if it was just yesterday.

Yesterday, the man he called his father.

"Avril, this is your mother's name. It turns out that you have always been obsessed with your mother's affairs, and you don't even want to admit your real name. ”

Looking at his daughter, who looked like his deceased wife, a little nostalgia appeared on Augustus's face.

"Is it? Lord Augustus, or rather, the current patriarch of House Michael!"

Looking at her father who was wearing a platinum sword and scale headband in front of her hair with resentment, a trace of sadness surged in Avril's heart: he succeeded, abandoned his wife and daughter, and finally became the patriarch of the Michael family!

"You say this?"

Gently removing the patriarch's headband, a trace of guilt appeared on Augustus' face.

"Not what you think, Angelie, no! Avril Avril should probably listen to my explanation. ”

"Explain? Hmph! For the sake of the patriarch, you removed the name of your deceased mother's wife from the family tree, and even went to marry the woman who killed your mother, I don't know why my mother fell in love with you back then? If possible, I'd rather my mother never marry someone else for the rest of her life!"

Cursing, Avril suddenly thought of herself, how similar she was to her mother, who also entrusted herself unreservedly to a man, but suffered the same betrayal! Is there really a woman in this world who does not deserve true love at all?

"No, you really need to listen to me, the truth is not what you think!" Looking at her stubborn daughter with a wry smile, Angelina has the same personality as her mother, and once she makes a decision, she will never admit defeat!

Glaring at her father, Avril suddenly noticed his long soaked blonde hair, which was scattered in front of his forehead, and the sun was shining, and fine wrinkles were showing from behind his hair.

"It turns out that he will be old too. With a sigh, Avril's heart softened. I have been hiding in the airship just now, I don't want to come out to see him, but I don't want my father to stay outside the airship all the time, waiting for him quietly, Dad's strength is unfathomable, but he will be wet by simple raindrops, all this shows that Dad really wants to get his forgiveness, should he give him a chance?

Thinking about it, Avril clenched her fingers, and her blue eyes raised slightly: "Say it, I'm listening." ”

"Thank you. ”

Stunned for a moment, Augustus' wry smile was replaced by a wave of remembrance, and he slowly brushed the messy hair from his forehead to his ears, and then began to speak.

"First of all, Avril, I didn't marry that woman. ”

"What!"

Avril looked at her father in shock, her face full of questions.

"You heard me right, since you left, I turned down my engagement to that woman, or rather, I didn't intend to marry that woman in the first place!"

"Why? Didn't you remove your mother from the family tree just to marry that woman and inherit the patriarchship?"

Hearing his daughter's questioning, Augustus' face changed.

"No, all I have always loved is your mother and you, the patriarch, or that woman, all of which are just means for me to love you. ”

"Love our means, love us is to get rid of our mother's status as a wife, love us is to marry a woman who killed his wife, Lord Augustus, your love, we really don't understand!"

As she spoke, Avril's face was full of anger again, and even the title became you, such a way of love brought to herself only disgust.

Witnessing his daughter's angry countenance, Augustus's face changed again and again, and then he seemed to have made up his mind, and then slowly spoke.

"Avril, you should know that your mother, Avril #Gracia, is just a commoner woman. ”

"Civilian woman, I know, but that's not why you betrayed your mother!"

"No, you won't understand, it's because of your mother's civilian status that the family has always opposed me being with your mother!"

"Objections, then should I thank you for your persistence, Lord Augustus, for not being separated from my mother, and insisting on giving birth to me, a bastard!"

"That's enough! Angelina, I don't allow you to say that about yourself! You're the person I love the most besides your mother, not a mongrel!" Hearing his daughter call herself a mongrel, Augustus showed a rare look of anger, and this was the first time he had lost control of his emotions since just now.

"Well, I'm not going to say anything about it, but please go on. Seeing her father's angry face, Avril Lavril didn't have much fear in her heart, on the contrary, her heart couldn't help but warm, Dad's roar just now was indeed the truest thought in her heart, which she could see, for Dad's explanation, she finally had the intention to listen.

"I hope you don't care, I'm not trying to yell at you. Glancing apologetically at his daughter, Augustus continued.

"Although my family has always opposed my love with your mother, I did not back down, on the contrary, with my arguments, your mother and I successfully held a wedding and became an official husband and wife. At that time, I always felt like the happiest person in the world, especially after your mom was pregnant with you, Avril. ”

Thinking of Avril's mother, Augustus had happy memories on his face, and his gaze turned to his daughter, and his love overflowed.

"It's a pity that your mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to you, and she didn't see the crystallization of our love grow up. "The love is gone, but there is no grief on Augustus' face. Some things, lost, are destined to be just memories, and only by cherishing what is left behind will regret not turn regret into regret.

"On that day, I swore that I would let our daughter grow up safely, freely, and happily throughout her life. ”

"However, the hateful family elders have been asking me to choose a new partner and use you as a bargaining chip. ”

"Chips!?"

Hearing her father's statement that the elders would use themselves as bargaining chips, Avril Lavigne's face was puzzled.

"Yes, they have always wanted to marry you into another family, on the one hand, marrying you into another family can strengthen the connection between our Seven Sacred Domain families. On the other hand, they consider you to be a stain on my life, and without your presence, I would be the most outstanding genius of the Michael family, and the most suitable heir. But they don't know, only you, Angelina, only you are my love, family, or strength, these are not important, only to protect you is my life's long-cherished wish. ”

Excitedly, Augustus stepped forward and grabbed his daughter's shoulder, these words he had held in his heart for many years, and he had not confided in anyone else, and finally today, in order to win his daughter's forgiveness, he decided to say these words.

"What about after that......" was caught by her father, Avril did not have the slightest disgust, this intensity of feelings can not be triggered by pretending, on the other hand, her heart has indeed always hoped that her father is still the father, the good father who raised herself as an adult and spoiled herself forever.

"I suddenly realized that only by ascending to the position of patriarch, only by having supreme rights, can you truly control your own destiny and give you true freedom. So, I followed the instructions of the Presbyterian Church, removed the name of your mother's wife, and pretended to agree to the marriage contract with that woman. As long as the elders pass on the patriarchship to me, I will break the engagement with that woman and keep you with you for the rest of your life. ”

Looking at his daughter's face, Augustus did not regret the decisions he had made, these were all for his daughter, as long as his daughter could live freely, he would not care no matter how much resentment he suffered.

"After that, because you opposed my decision, you left the family. I went crazy looking for you, but I couldn't find any trace of you, and the family elders seemed to have acquiesced in your disappearance, they thought that you who disappeared out of thin air was the best outcome, so they didn't give me any resources to help me find you. ”

"I'm crazy, I can't imagine what life would be like without you. So I turned down the marriage contract with that woman, and practiced wildly, and finally, three years later, I defeated all those who were qualified to inherit the position of patriarch with the strength of the middle rank of the Great Heavenly Rank, and officially obtained the position of patriarch. But what's the use, you've been gone for nearly three years, and even the forces of the whole family haven't been able to find you. With a wry smile, Augustus' eyes were full of loneliness.

Looking quietly at her lonely father, Avril's green eyes slowly swept over every wrinkle on her father's forehead. She believed that the wrinkles could only have left marks on her father's forehead because she missed herself. She believes that everything her father does is to protect herself, even if she is misunderstood, she will not hesitate to do so. She believed that today's encounter was a reunited destiny destined by God, so that a great father could be forgiven by his wayward daughter.

"Dad. In the depths of her love, Avril finally truly forgave her father.

"Angelina. ”

Pulling Avril into his arms, Augustus' handsome face smiled for the first time.
