CHAPTER XXIII

Watching his teammates tidy up the kitchen at home, buying ingredients and utensils, and questioning the captain's cooking ability with his teammates, everyone was busy with the ingredients while chatting and busy.

Roman seems to have returned to his old college days, where his roommates prepared the ingredients, gathered around a small pot, eating hot pot noisily, and chatting about all kinds of gossip news, from class flowers to the conflict between India and Pakistan.

The scene is so heartwarming.

Roman swallowed the emotion in his heart, and sat at the table in the dining room chatting with his teammates as usual, waiting for the captain to finish his last dish.

"Last course, creamy cod soup" The captain walked out of the kitchen with the last dish.

Hearing this name and looking at the milky white thick liquid in the pot, Roman always had some bad premonitions.

"Come on, taste it."

Roman looked at his teammates, and with a heartbeat, scooped a spoonful of milky liquid, closed his eyes, and put it in his mouth.

"Huh?"

Roman opened his eyes and found that his teammates had similar expressions to his own. Looking at the thick and creamy cod soup, it is surprisingly delicious after the entrance, the soup is thick, but the entrance is a unique fresh and sweet taste, the soup is floating milky white fish, the entrance is soft and tender, quite delicious.

Looking at the expressions of the team members, Fred smiled proudly, "When I was young, my dream was to become a good chef, and when I retired, I would return to Beckland to open a restaurant." ”

"Captain!" Tony laughed and exclaimed, "You're going to be a cardinal." ”

The atmosphere became warm, and everyone began to talk about their childhood dreams.

Tony had no ambition to be a cardinal, and was satisfied if he could return to his hometown to become a bishop, or go to a public school or university to become a lecturer.

At first, Hannah said that she wanted to be a well-known adventurer in the five seas, but then she drank too much and said that she would not be an adventurer in the future, and that she would return to her hometown with Tony to be the bishop or pastor of the church.

Philogan ran away from home and ran out on his own, and he didn't want to go home, but he didn't think about what he wanted to do in the future.

Emily also said a lot of rare things, she wanted to be stronger, to be strong enough to return to her hometown in East Bailang and change something.

Roman also imagined the future, although there are many words in his heart that he can't say, he can only bear it himself, but Roman should still talk to everyone, saying that when he makes enough money in the future, he will go to Beckland to open a restaurant and invite the captain to be the chef.

The lively atmosphere lasted until the evening, and his teammates helped Roman clean up the kitchen and replenish some ingredients and daily necessities before leaving.

Looking at the room that had become empty again with the departure of his teammates, Roman couldn't help but sigh, not knowing when he began to become sentimental.

Sometimes knowing too much will bring pain, looking at the teammates who are talking about the future, Roman has a heated discussion with them on the surface, but he knows in his heart that the end is still more than ten years away, and the future he imagines now may become a bubble and will be ruthlessly shattered after more than ten years.

Taking a deep breath, Roman knew he couldn't be pretentious anymore and had to pick himself up and work on improving the sequence.

The formula for the "Weapon Master" has arrived, and the materials are easy to get together, so I have to hurry up and digest the "Fighter" and strive to improve the sequence as soon as possible.

Let's go to Sothos. Jan, ask about the previous escort mission, if it was indeed the missing Abraham, then see if there are any other suitable missions to complete, and try to find a chance to play.

I just told Tony about learning ancient Hermesian, and tomorrow he will send a batch of "textbooks", and he can tutor himself in person when he has time.

As soon as he thought of it, Roman cleaned up his house and went out with his giant sword on his back.

This time, in order to prevent emergencies, he brought all the extraordinary items with him, and put a few charms in a position that was convenient to take out and activate at any time.

Cautiously, Roman went smoothly this time and met Sothos in another room on the second floor of the Golden Lemon Bar. Yang.

The previous boss room was used by Roman with Sotos. Jan threw a hole in the window and is still waiting to be renovated.

After Roman expressed his intentions, he got Sothos. Jan replied in the affirmative.

"I wanted to consult you about the bodyguard mission I undertook, which was to escort that Hilde. Mr. Downton. "Sothos. Yang also sighed helplessly, "You can't do this task. ”

Indeed, this Mr. Downton can't even find any trace of him by the "substitutes", and it is even possible that he is looking for bodyguards and issuing escort missions on the surface, but in fact he has left Byam on a smuggling ship or through other channels.

The employer is gone, and the task cannot be continued.

"Next, though, there's an escort mission." Sothos squinted at Roman.

"Who's escorting?" Roman asked curiously.

"I" Sotosyan pointed to himself, then smiled, "I'm kidding you, I was planning to leave for Olavia tomorrow, but who knew something had happened." I have already contacted the military, and the day after tomorrow there is a warship bound for Olawe, I can drop by, and you can recuperate in peace for a few days without your escort. ”

Sothos rubbed his sunken eyes, and said tiredly, "This incident tells us that you must be more cautious than cautious, Roman, and you must remember that." ”

Roman nodded sympathetically.

After chatting for a while, Roman didn't get any assignment from Sothos, and the other party just suggested that he rest for a few days.

Rejecting Sotosyan's offer for dinner, Roman prepares to go to the church of St. Helena.

As a believer of the Goddess, who has just passed a life-and-death crisis, he should go to the Goddess's church to pray and thank the Goddess for her protection.

Take a horse-drawn carriage ride along the familiar streets all the way to Maple Avenue in the southern district of Byam.

Church of St. Helena.

At night, there were not many people in the church, so Roman walked slowly down the aisle to the prayer hall, found a random seat and sat down, tapped clockwise four times on his chest, and began to pray.

Tonight, the church of St. Helena seems to be particularly dark, with few candles, and on both sides of the podium inscribed with the emblem of darkness in front of it, are stars inlaid with glowing pearls, and a crimson moon adorned with rubies.

In the dim light, it seems to be dotted with stars, crimson and shining, especially sacred.

Feeling such an atmosphere, Roman's heart suddenly became peaceful.

In this atmosphere, I don't know how long it took, Roman ended his prayer.

He slowly got up and walked to the altar, bowed to Bishop Anna, and then went to the consecration box next to him.

He took two pounds from his bosom, threw them in, nodded to Bishop Anna, and slowly walked out of the church of St. Helena.

Roman, who walked out of the church, seemed to feel that he had been purified on the spiritual level and on the spiritual level, and the gloom of the past two days was swept away.

Roman didn't choose to take the public carriage, and just walked all the way to his home in the docks.

When I walked to the corner of Metasequoia Street, I saw two figures at the door of my house.

Roman cautiously walked forward in the shadows, discovering that it was Philogan and Tony.

They also saw Roman, and didn't give Philogan a chance to speak, Tony walked over to Roman with a newspaper in his hand, handed Roman the "Byam News" in his hand, and said, "Roman, there is a mission." ”
