Chapter 141. Time is really scary

What, you say that Sylvia is just a flash in the pan and that after leaving the center of power, she will not return?

This is not good, there are many characters in Victorian history who seem to have been reduced to the margins, but one day they will return like lightning and return to their original position, and now they have offended people, and they will not be alive when the time comes?

The manager of Twilight's Bar knows very well who can not be offended the most, only ten years, Sylvia is not yet forty years old, she is in the prime of life, she is sure when she will be recalled again, what will she do then?

"I don't need it anymore, this place is probably not going to come again, it's a waste, don't spend this energy."

Sylvia put down her wine glass, she seemed to be two points drunk, her face was ruddy, and her eyes narrowed slightly, so she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"It's free, ma'am, and you can trust us completely."

The Vaivan woman still shook her head, and pointed to the man in black opposite with her right hand: "You still ask him, if he hadn't pulled me here, I wouldn't have come here to drink." ”

Hearing Sylvia say this, the bar manager couldn't help but start to re-examine the man two meters away, who was wearing a mask on his face and couldn't see his true face.

But the former dragoon general had an eccentric personality and was unruly, and the nobles of Lentinium rarely won her favor, who was this man in front of him, who had such a big face, and even Vaivan had to give him face?

"Sir, look ......"

"Okay, you can do it in my name, first of all, you should recognize the card and not the person when you come to consume, right?"

The manager nodded hurriedly: "You are right, our store does not have strict requirements in this regard. ”

Zhou Jinru smiled: "Then handle it in the name of Thomas Courtman, is there a problem?" ”

Yes?

Isn't that the name of the main character of a bestseller?

In the great writer August, Thomas Courtman, as a great explorer, goes in and out of various dangerous areas, turns evil into good fortune, and also wanders in Vanity Fair, maintains ambiguous relationships with many women, is the idol of many young men, and the dream lover of young ladies.

But if you think about it, it was written ten years ago during the turmoil in Victoria, which coincided with the time when the dragoons would retire, is there any connection between the two?

The bar manager peeked at the two people in front of the round table, and forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, not daring to think about it, he couldn't figure out that this mysterious man's status was still above Sylvia!

Pseudonym, just pay more attention to who holds this card to spend in the future.

"Guests, please wait, it will take a little time to make a card, but it won't take too long, as compensation, this time your consumption in the store is all free."

Zhou Jinru's eyes lit up, since it's free, why not pick wool?

Sylvia picked up her glass and her eyes were sharp, meaning you must not do anything embarrassing!

Seeing the manager leave, the man sighed: "He said that he was exempt, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I can't afford to lose this man!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come in the future, not just this time?"

Sylvia was angry for a while, she remembered that this guy was not so shameless ten years ago, why did he become like this now?

Zhou Jinru took the initiative to end the topic: "Okay, you have the final say in this matter, but what I want to tell you is another thing, do you still have an impression of the black-haired waiter who followed me before?" ”

"She looks very beautiful, the little girl has good skills, now I may not be able to beat her, do you have thoughts about other people?"

"What do you say, am I that kind of person?" Zhou Jinru waved his hand, "That's the case, her father entrusted me to help the child, I couldn't find the entry point for a while, do you have a way?" ”

The Vaivan woman frowned and said cautiously, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Make a few conspirators and slave traders pay."

"Ha, when did you become so cynical?"

"I've always been like this, and I've never changed."

Sylvia couldn't help laughing, and then, slowly shaking her head, said seriously: "You are looking for the wrong person, I left Lentinium ten years ago, and now there is no way, and helping you is likely to put me and my family in crisis, sorry, I can't help you." ”

Hearing her refusal, Zhou Jinru breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better this way, it seems that the focus of your life is completely on your family, maybe for you, retiring is equivalent to choosing another path, I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that it is really good." ”

"You don't have to say it, and I don't want to ask."

"Well, cheers."

Two people's cups clamming together.

After another drink, Sylvia exhaled a cloudy breath and muttered, "I can't drink any more today." ”

She seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at the sky in the distance, and said to herself: "I am Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, I am not young anymore, even bitter beer is a burden, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have drunk at all." ”

"You're only thirty-nine years old, Vaivan is a fantasy race, and the racial characteristics are much stronger than the average race, and you're sick?"

"Nope."

Sylvia spread her hands on the table, her fingers and palms covered in thick calluses, some from years of holding weapons, others from ten years of farming.

"I migrated to Victoria with the tribe at the age of sixteen, became a mercenary at the age of seventeen, and later joined the Victorian army, and in almost ten years, I fought all the battles that the country could fight, and guess how many wounds I suffered before I sat in the position of commander of the defense dragoons of Lentinium?"

Zhou Jinru closed his mouth, he looked into the eyes of the Vaivan woman, speechless.

Victoria is a country that values blood and status, and although it has developed rapidly and has a first-class level of technology, certain ideas are still deeply ingrained, and Sylvia comes from a savage tribe, and her achievements along the way rely on the strong physique brought by the race and a ruthless rush forward.

When he was chasing and killing himself, he didn't care about civilian casualties.

The royal family of Aslan was kind to her, and the twenty-eight-year-old dragoon offered his loyalty, but the faith she held on to collapsed.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinru understood why Vaifan, who had a chance to rise to the top, gave up his preferential treatment, his noble status, and even his noble status, walked into the field, put down his weapon and picked up a hoe.

Her hopes were completely dashed.

If it weren't for her husband and daughter, she probably wouldn't have chosen to live to this day.

"Even if it is a fantasy species, you have to face ruthless time, Mr. Four, aging is a very terrible thing, no matter how unwilling I am, I have to recognize the reality."

Zhou Jinru muttered: "Yes, time is really terrible. ”
