Nina appeared in Duncan's sight - the girl trotted all the way with a pleasant smile on her face, and after seeing her uncle sitting in a daze at the door of the antique shop, she quickened her pace, and at the same time raised her hand and greeted: "Uncle, I'm back!" ”

Duncan woke up from his contemplation, he put his mind aside for the time being, got up to greet his "niece", after seeing the girl's panting appearance, he was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "Didn't you give you the money to ride?" How did you get out of school or run back? ”

Nina took a few breaths after stopping in front of Duncan, scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and then reached out and rummaged through the schoolbag she was picking up, and took out a small paper bag and handed it over: "I passed by Dr. Albert's clinic when I came back. ”

Duncan took the paper bag and pinched it, realizing that it contained several pills.

Dr. Albert said: "You have been using alcohol for a long time for pain relief, and although your physical condition is now improving and you have successfully quit drinking, once you forcibly stop drinking, people who have been drinking for a long time are prone to adverse reactions!" Nina explained in a whisper, "This is a medicine used to reduce alcohol withdrawal, and you can take one if you are not feeling well." In addition, Dr. Albert also said that if your health has not deteriorated recently, you can completely stop taking the previous medication, but it is still recommended that you have time to go to his clinic for a thorough check-up. ”

Duncan silently listened to Nina's whispered and even slightly cautious explanation, and did not speak for a long time, until Nina finished speaking, and he silently put away the small packet of pills carefully and closely.

Then he reached out and pressed it on Nina's and rubbed it gently.

"Uncle?" Nina looked up a little confused, but saw that Duncan had an indescribable seriousness on his face, and there was even a little worry in that seriousness, which made her sensitive mind a little uneasy.

"What's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Or ......"

"I'm fine." Duncan suddenly laughed, bent down slightly and looked into Nina's eyes, "But don't use the money from your car to buy me medicine in the future, there is no shortage of money at home now, you can usually bring more pocket money, if it's not enough, ask me." ”

Nina looked at Duncan a little stunned, she always felt that her uncle suddenly became a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, she was stunned for a long time before she hesitated and nodded: "Oh oh." ”

Then she thought for a moment, poked her head and looked at the store, and then showed an expectant and hesitant expression on her face: "Uncle's ...... You said you taught me to ride a bike when I came back from school. ”

"It's not going to be a good weather," Duncan raised an eyebrow, "it might be raining." ”

"We're at the door." Nina grabbed Duncan's arm and whispered expectantly, "If it rains, you'll be back right away." ”

"Okay, you put your schoolbag away first, I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle, but you can only practice for a while, and dinner hasn't been cooked yet."

"Okay!"

Nina gave a small cheer, then ran into the antique store like a charge, tossed her bag over the counter and pushed the newly-paid bicycle out.

The position of the cart was crooked, and it took a long time to push the cart in front of Duncan.

"Actually, I think you'll have to learn how to push a cart from scratch." Duncan looked at Nina's clumsy appearance, sighed with a smile, and then stepped forward to hold the handlebars, "But for the look of your expectation, let's come up first—I'll help you hold the car, and you can experience the balance of pedaling and walking on it." ”

Nina nodded obediently, and after Duncan helped the car, she grabbed the handlebar and climbed to the saddle with her feet, emphasizing again and again while exerting her strength: "Uncle, you must help it!" Don't let go! ”

"Okay, okay, you can trust me." A slightly salty, chilly wind blew through the old streets of the lower town, whipped up fallen leaves and flying dust among the low, dilapidated buildings.

The clouds were low, but the rain seemed to be still in the sky and did not fall to the earth for a long time.

In the small open space in front of the antique shop, the girl's excited and nervous exclamations and car bells rang out, and the occasional jingle bell and the occasional guidance and teasing of Duncan were interspersed in between.

A pure black vintage private car stopped in a vacant lot near an antique shop, a man wearing an old-school scholar's woolen coat, hands (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 176: A Warm Family

The old man with a cane and a top hat pushed open the door and looked up in the direction of the antique store.

Morris saw the familiar and old shop, and saw his uncle and nephew practicing riding in the open space in front of the shop.

The ordinary street scene of the lower city is warm and ordinary, everything looks so normal, and even the scene not far away under the dark clouds and the cold autumn breeze is extraordinarily warm and peaceful.

However, Heidi only spent half a day in this antique shop, and then consumed the second protection of the god of wisdom, Lahem, and it was under the protection of a deep sea inquisitor.

And after the incident, neither Heidi herself nor Inquisitor Vana could detect the slightest abnormality. @精华\/Shuge J·H·S·S·D·C·O·M first update~~

Morris inhaled softly, his heart slowly beating faster despite looking at such an everyday sight.

Then he gritted his teeth, and instead of rushing to greet his uncle and nephew who were in front of the antique shop, he prepared to finish his observation of the shop first, if possible he really didn't want to involve unrelated people in the transcendent incident.

The old man fumbled in the pocket of his jacket and found a monocle with a thin pale gold chain, one end of which was tucked into the pocket and the other end attached to the frame, which was engraved with the name of Lahem, the god of wisdom, and many sacred symbols in ancient Cretan script, and faintly floating in the transparent lenses.

"May wisdom give me discernment, and enlighten my mind, so that I may see the truth and see through the fog."

Morris whispered a few words of prayer, then tucked his monocle into his eye socket, and then "opened" his ...... in the direction of the antique shop, which had been voluntarily closed eleven years ago

Maurice was in a trance, looked down at the monocle in his hand, and saw that the frame was engraved with Lahem's name and many sacred symbols, and there was a faint glimmer floating in the transparent lens.

"May wisdom give me discernment..."

He whispered a few words of prayer, and looked up with his monocle tucked in his eye sockets.

Morris was in a trance for a moment, looking down at the monocle in his hand.

A cold wind suddenly blew from across the street, and the old scholar suddenly stopped what he was about to do, and then suddenly raised his right wrist.

A bracelet made of colored stones and silk threads, eight stones, was wearing on his wrist.

The cold wind blew, carrying the fallen leaves on the side of the road and the cold of late autumn, and the sound in Maurice's ears seemed to fade, and the traffic on the streets and the bells of the distant churches seemed to come from another world, and he only heard his heart beating and the sound of blood beating like thunder, and in this heartbeat only one direction the sound was still clear.

A girl's cheerful and somewhat nervous voice: "Uncle, you can help me!" Ahh......h Crooked...... The car is about to fall! ”

A middle-aged man's gentle voice with a smile said: "I can't hold on to it - if you straighten the handlebars, you won't be crooked, push forward and continue walking, the bicycle is like this, as long as you push forward and hold the handlebars, you won't fall." ”

"You must hold it on! I'm going! ”

"Let's go, I'm behind you."

Morris suddenly heard another sound, a creaking sound of bones rubbing, and with it came a slight shift and rotation of his vision—it took him a second of thought before he finally realized what was happening.

He was slowly turning his neck, shifting his gaze from the antique shop to the open space in front of the antique shop.

A strong alarm came up from his soul, and the bracelet of the eight remaining stones made a low strange sound as if it were swallowed, and each stone became hot, as if it were about to pull the drowning man out of the water, and it was a futile tug at his reason, and Maurice could still think, he knew that the blessings he had given himself before his departure had been activated and were working, but he could only do these basic thoughts, his neck still turning, his gaze uncontrollably in the most dangerous direction.

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes!

Countless voices exploded in his head, but Morris's sanity could not drive his muscles to do even the simplest (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 176: A Warm Family

With a single movement, he slowly turned his head, and then finally saw the direction of the sound when he "opened" his blessed eyes.

He saw a whirlpool of light and shadow that seemed to reflect all the planes at the same time......

The crumpled mirrors were mixed together to form a starlit giant barely sustaining the human corridor, and the giant bent slightly and carefully changed its support...... Supporting a gushing arc of flame.

Morris's head exploded, and then the whole world fell silent.
