In the end, everyone still didn't stay for dinner, because Nie Yuan tried his best to shirk it, which seemed to make Count Lilian resentful and less interested.

There's no way, you can't give Count Lilian a night of reciting Tang poems and Song lyrics, and you can't answer any other questions, right?

So for his own safety, coupled with maintaining a sufficient sense of mystery, Nie Yuan was of course in the wind.

The Aztecs and Miranda didn't stay either, for Buck had said that they would go and help bring the paperwork back in the evening, and Count Lillian certainly thought they needed to do some preparations.

However, it was agreed that the Aztecs would come back early, and if she hadn't fallen asleep, they would have supper together.

In addition, Buck naturally received a monetary aid from Earl Lilian, which was not small.

Count Lilian didn't skimp at all, so she said it was a meeting gift for Nie Yuan and the others, and asked her subordinates to send the money.

In addition, Buck also opened his mouth and entrusted Count Lillian to help him find an alchemical material called [Biomechanical Energy Core].

I don't know what it was for, and Buck didn't explain it to everyone.

This time, Count Lillian was not so happy, but hesitated for a while, and finally said: "If I remember correctly, old Buck, you already owe me a lot of such debts, right?" ”

Buck's answer was extremely simple, and he said, "Indeed, that's a lot of money, but it's not so exaggerated when it is spread over seven people, and now that seven people are paying off their debts together, don't you think we can't afford it, or rather, it's not worth the price." ”

The implication is very clear, that is, his own debts, when his relatives came, they had already been split, and Nie Yuan and others would also help pay off their debts together.

None of the others objected, and Buck's debt was their debt.

It's just that Nie Yuan couldn't help but complain secretly, I ate your breakfast, and I used less than half a pack of needles and threads, so I inexplicably resisted a sum, an astonishing number of debts.

However, Count Lilian seemed to be very satisfied with this statement, laughed, and replied: "Okay, but if you can't do it yet, you have to let Nie Yuan, Aztec, and Miss Miranda work for me all the time~"

Buck's reply was, "My debts, should have been a part of them." ”

Then Count Lilian didn't say much, and then looked for the commission of the alchemy materials, and said that the things would be delivered to everyone within half a month.

After the secret meeting, everyone left the underground space straight from the tunnel where they came, and returned to the street from the pawnshop, and embarked on the road back to the bookstore.

Miranda looked at Nie Yuan with interest and said, "Why do I think you have an unspeakable resistance to the appointment of a beautiful woman?" ”

Nie Yuan continued to pretend to be deep, looked at the distant sky, and said, "She reminds me of an unbearable experience. ”

Of course, he can't tell the truth, so let's continue to let everyone make up for it.

Buck said at this time: "This time is different from the past, even if I am alone, I don't have to rely on people all the time, after everyone gathers, the state of cooperation between me and her will change."

Now we are definitely worth anything, the price she can come up with, there is no need to bend to meet it, Nie Yuan can make any decision.

Moreover......

I have her handle too. ”

Everyone felt that this was reasonable, of course, Nie Yuan accepted the dinner party if he wanted to, and refused if he wanted to, there was nothing wrong with it.

They were just more full of reverie about Nie Yuan's unbearable experience.

Don't.

Nie Yuan once had a lover like Count Lilian?

Is that the past that he can't erase from his memory and doesn't want to mention?

However, seeing that Nie Yuan didn't want to say more, everyone didn't ask any more questions, there will always be a chance in the future.

Buck continued: "Alston Castle, let's go in the evening, let's close early today. ”

What?

Are you really going to go at night?

Wouldn't you have stepped on something in advance?

Nie Yuan didn't expect that Buck didn't have the heart to test the idea during the day, and he still thought about going back to open his bookstore as usual.

The problem is that such a treacherous thing, when the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, go straight to the past, and don't make any preparations, is this really good?

Nie Yuan wanted to say something, but he was suffocated by him, and he had to sigh silently.

Because, who let him pretend to be cheap when he first met everyone, saying that the night was his kind protective color.

I haven't slept yet, so I naturally and smoothly let everyone understand that he is a veritable "nocturnal creature".

Miranda said, "I want to go back and take a nap, and when it closes, let's go see what it is, and we have the honor to visit together." ”

However, Buck shook his head and said, "I'll just go with Nie Yuan, you, Qiaoqi, Aztec, I have other arrangements for the three of you." ”

"Oh?"

Miranda was curious: "Have you prepared other tasks for us in advance, so who will stay in the store?" ”

Buck explained: "It was decided this morning, as for the bookstore, I left a ban in the library room, ordinary people can't find it, and it can't be opened, someone touches the ban, and I can quickly react to the Alston Castle not far away."

If we come back tonight, we will continue to do business as usual, and if we don't come back, we will ask our neighbors to open the door for the time being, and I will pay the wages and come back in the morning to take over. ”

“……”

Nie Yuan felt more and more uneasy.

What's the matter.

Listen to you, can you still stay at Alston Castle?

You are not afraid, and you have the strength to be confident, have you considered me......

Nie Yuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you leave me to guard the bookstore, anyway, my strength will not help for emergencies, but may even hold back." ”

"No, you don't."

Buck shook his head and said, "Your ancient wisdom may have unpredictable help in dealing with many things, go together, we will protect you." ”

This......

What else can I say.

Nie Yuan found out bitterly that what dark night is a kind protective color, what awakens the ancient wisdom, and finally blows out, will be devoured on him.

Nie Yuan set his eyes on Nancy, and Nancy also happened to look up and innocently looked at him.

He said, "Then while the weather is nice and the sun is shining, I'll take Nancy around." ”

He thought that if Buck, Nancy, and Gustav went with him at night, then he had to build a good relationship first, so that when something unexpected happened, he would always have someone by his side to protect him.

It's not that their relationship is not good enough, but that he can't show fear, which is not in line with the character he created.

Buck's task at night is very heavy, and many things must only be solved by him, an old man, himself.

The two Gustav gentlemen have been busy with serious internal friction, and in some cases, they have no time to take care of themselves.

Come to think of it, of course, there is only Nancy cutie.

I have to let her get used to it, stay by her side, be a sister in her spare time, and be a bodyguard in times of crisis.

By the way, you can also take advantage of the good weather to learn about Ruiyu City, which will live for a long time in the future, and some common sense in the other world.

When Nancy heard that Nie Yuan was going to take her out to play, she was also full of interest, her eyes showed anticipation, and she said, "Okay, basking in the warm sun, going to inspect the territory, it's so much, it's so wonderful!" ”

Seeing this, Buck also said: "Yes, but we have to come back before the sun sets, there are few guests at that time, so we close early and prepare to go." ”

"Yes, okay."

Then the crowd parted ways at the end of the street.

The others went back to the bookstore, and Nie Yuan and Nancy began their leisurely pace of "inspecting the territory" on a sunny day.

When they were far away, Miranda seemed to remember something, and said, "Buck, I think it seems to be the direction of the Church of the False Gods." ”

Buck also remembered and said: "Yes, there are three false god churches, on the street over there, but there shouldn't be any problems, Nancy is not so easy to lose control, she clearly knows the current situation, and there is Nie Yuan watching by her side." ”

Miranda smiled: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that I missed it, we should have taken a detour just now and walked over there together." ”

Buck turned his head and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Miranda said: "Nancy said that it is a wonderful thing to inspect the territory together, and it is true, but I can't understand it very well, her territorial consciousness, I just think that if the seven of us all stand in front of the sculpture of the pseudo-god and take a group photo, it will definitely be a more wonderful romantic landscape." ”
