Chapter Twenty-Five: The Apple Tree

Call......

He took a breath, grabbed the bottle, and took a sip.

"So, you always feel that there is a person in your head?"

The person next to him touched his chin, poured wine into the quilt, and looked at him slowly.

His face was full of scum, long, scattered blond and gray hair, like a madman, his body was full of alcohol, and the people next to him did not dislike it, drinking, and gently placed the cup next to him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the people next to him also stared at him with interest, and the magic robe of Fran was not clean, even dirty.

He's down, like a flower child.

He was also just silent.

With his head down, he couldn't see his face, and he was drinking, just drinking.

The gurgling wine poured into his mouth, and even the bitterness of it could no longer make him feel bitter, just like drinking water, the tequila that burned his throat, a bottle of tequila, and then silence.

"I'm thinking, don't think about looking for it, people should live in the moment if they live, I heard that Wenti County has been closed for many years, and no one knows whether what you said is true or false. If you can't find it, forget it. The person next to him had blonde hair, and the Flying Eagles' military uniform was neat and clean, compared to him, it was simply a heaven and an underground.

"You're a top student of Fran now, it's not okay to come here every day to borrow wine to kill your sorrows, you said that your parents have no news in Wenti County, so you can't indulge yourself, right?"

He listened, his ears moved, and he turned to look at the blond man, staring straight at him with his black eyes.

It was the first time the blonde man had seen his eyes.

The eyes were bright and black, and they were not at all cloudy like those of drunkards.

"When I came to Fran, they didn't hear from me." He turned his head and took another sip of the bottle, the gurgling sound of the wine running down his throat and disappearing in an instant.

"It's hard to say this kind of thing, I just suggest that people live in the moment, if you insist on looking for it, no one will stop you." The blonde man took a sip, and the vendors on the side of the road also began to close their stalls, they were busy, and the blonde man continued to ask unhurriedly when he saw this: "To be honest, you have experienced so much at a young age, which is quite enviable." I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've lived so long that I've never been out of Fran City for half a step. ”

"Fran is good, no need, out of town." He burped and stood up, he was quite tall himself, and the small table was just on his lap: "Thank you for your hospitality." Milan brother. ”

"You're going back?" Milan raised his hand and looked at his watch, looking at him with some surprise: "Oh, it's almost zero, I'm going to be on duty too."

Later, Milan took another sip of wine and exclaimed: "It's good to be young, there can be so many stories."

"These stories can be regarded as some omissions." He got up and stretched, and the magic robe of the Royal Academy of Fran was cast, and the magic robe was like a close-fitting cloak that he flicked.

"I think you made it quite clear, your birth, your childhood, your current state, ah, it's fascinating. You can become a plug-in student at Fran Academy. ”

Milan took a sip of his wine and watched him straighten his clothes.

Although he was full of scum, he didn't look old, just a little sloppy.

"Nothing good." He waved his hand: "Let's go Brother Milan."

"Oh, okay, Mingjian." Milan also said goodbye to him.

He stepped out, step by step, with his hands in his pockets, his head bowed, his head drooping, like a mourning star, looking at the bright street lamps in the street, and the shadows, accompanying him, like a lingering nightmare.

He is like a second-rate man, a hanger.

However, walking like this is extremely relaxed, not so serious, and no one cares in the middle of the night.

Then don't care.

He has two names, one is Jack Niemann, and seven years ago, he came to Fran to study at Fran as a plug-in student of Fran.

Plug-in is literal. Students who hang outside the Royal Academy of Fran have a study qualification, but do not have an official student certificate.

If you work part-time, you are likely to be nicknamed a "cleaner" by the students of Fran College.

Seven years ago, he relied on the recommendation letter of the Dragon Whisker to get a place in the Carolingian family, and went to Fran to take care of the Carolingian family's third daughter [Lilia Caroling], a genius girl from the Royal Academy of Flan who was unable to take care of herself in Fran because she was weak and sick.

Because of a very hard rule in Fran, in order to allow children to live independently, so as long as they enter Fran, the children of all nobles must live alone in the school, although the servants can take care of the daily life, but they are not allowed to enter the school, if you want to enter, not only the procedures are cumbersome, but also someone to monitor.

Therefore, he and his sister [Erica Nieman] not only boiled medicine for the frail Lilia, but also took care of all her personal affairs on campus, including studying.

He also has a name, and that is Long Feather Kaede.

He had almost forgotten the name he didn't use much. He clearly knew that his memory was missing, he felt that he had forgotten a very important person, this was not something he imagined, but every time he felt that he had forgotten something, his heart was very painful, very itchy, and his ribs were hot, and when he thought about it, the shadow of that person, a woman, kept coming to his mind.

But he didn't know what that shadow looked like, he couldn't even hear, see, or touch, he could only think that the vacant piece had disappeared.

He wanted to look for it, but he couldn't.

For it was an empty shadow, ethereal, as if there was but not there.

Originally, he came to Fran with the help of his parents' friend Pelos's house, but to this day, Pelos has not appeared in Fran, I heard that he went to Rastal seven years ago, and then mysteriously disappeared, and as a digression, the princess also disappeared for seven years.

However, the Carolingian family helped them find Pelos's residence, and found the key to Pelos's house through letters from his parents, which allowed him and his sister Erica to live in Fran.

Pelos's house is next to the Royal Academy of Fran, although it is not big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, two floors above and below, and a small attic.

He had just come of age, and Fran was so strict that he had to show a student certificate issued by Fran to prove his age.

He was on his way to Pelos's hut, with white walls, creepers, and small bunches of vines, and a small yard next to a dense apple tree, with branches coiled to his room, which he only had to climb to get back to.

Then there was a street lamp facing the gate of the yard, and Erica had a white dog, and she would bark when she saw the living, and she would not be obedient when she saw the two of them. So when Erica wanted to raise it, he didn't object.

Walking on the street in the early morning, there is wind, breeze, cool, making the wine strong, and the body is warm like a fire.

Fran, there are many princes and nobles, and they have titles all over the place, but they don't go out, and when the Chamber of Commerce comes and goes, they can only see a few from the windows of the dragon carts, they are very good at business, and basically walk around the spiritual world.

After seven years of living with the two siblings, the people here basically know the two siblings. The neighbors sent clothes, eggs, and magic books, but there was no money, and with the support of the Carolingian family, the two siblings also saved a lot of money.

They rarely get sick, the only time they get sick is when Erica floods her home while practicing water magic, and the two of them are almost suffocated in the water balloon, as soon as the water ball breaks, they also faint and wake up, but after running in the water for a day, Erica has a rare cold. Old friends Chinese network

Lilia was at home that day, so nothing big happened.

He tore off his messy beard, stretched out his wand on his cuffs, grabbed the half-handle of the wand, and made the mustache disappear, and actually went to his own small space ring, which was a magic weapon similar to a storage bag.

He shook himself, relaxed, stood under the apple tree, and with a leap, he jumped onto the branches, it was zero o'clock, and Erica should be asleep.

He jumped up and stepped on the branch carefully, and at this time the light came on, and almost scared him down.

"Haven't slept yet?" He continued walking, clutching the trunk of the apple tree.

"You're drinking again?" Erica's voice came out in the room, the window of Erica's room was open, leaning against the apple tree, in the light, Erica's pink pajamas were so dim that her face could not be seen in the reflection, but she must have been a little angry.

Erica is also very tall, although she is only sixteen, but she is slim, and has a baby face, and her body is flat and has not grown, which together will give people the illusion that she is very young, although she is only half a head shorter than Chang Yu Feng, so it is very confusing to just look at her height, or just look at her appearance.

They were notoriously tall siblings in the neighborhood.

"Well, drink it, someone else has a treat, you can't help but drink. Isn't it? He jumped into his room, and now that Erica was awake, he wasn't careful anymore.

"Tomorrow is the selection of the senior department, right? You drink, can you get up tomorrow? Erica crossed her waist, even though she couldn't see Kaede.

"Why can't you get up? I'm going to call you, okay. You go to sleep quickly, don't delay your development. Chang Yu Feng took off his magic robe in the dark, and he went into the bathroom to start showering.

"Hey, it's not good to drink, my dad has never drunk, and it's a night when you drink, it's really bad!" Erica closed the window angrily, and her scolding echoed in the room: "Otherwise, if you drink alcohol, don't go home and sleep, I can't see or worry."

"Okay, okay, I'll stop drinking. Is it really a date with someone, do you know the Milan of the Flying Eagles? He was confused, and asked me to be a psychological mentor, I couldn't help but go, I had to drink with him, no way. ”

Nagawa Kaede's words echoed in the sound of the water, he didn't turn on the light, and Erica's room was turned off.

"Chapter 3 of the Covenant." Erica's anger did not subside, she would never allow such a thing to happen to her brother, even if he was an adult, drinking until most of the night.

"It's a small matter to drink, I'm afraid that you will follow a group of people to fool around, you know? We've been in Fran for so long, who hasn't seen anyone, and there are few bad guys? What if you become like those second-rate people? Do you think my heart will feel good? Absolutely no drinking! You can't go back late! Got it? Erica was so loud that she was almost angry in the room, and now she was lying on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, and when it came to breath, she would sit up, and then lie down: "If you become like them, I really don't know what to do!" Please brother! Shape up or ship out! ”

Chang Yufeng stopped the towel and put it down, he paused, and calmly looked at himself in the dark mirror, "Rarity, don't be angry, I won't go next time." This time it's really Brother Milan looking for me. He drank alone, and I went to talk to him for a few words, and we talked about it until now. I'm not going to become a second-rate, don't worry, if I want to drink, I'll definitely buy it at home, right? There's no need for me to drink from you. Right? You go to sleep quickly, tomorrow is important to you. Don't delay. ”

Chang Yufeng only turned on the light at this time, and he looked at the abnormal rib that could be seen on his body, faintly glowing with blue light.

For as long as he can remember, this abnormal rib seems to have followed him since birth, like a birthmark, lingering from his body.

【buci~jiu~】

A crisp voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Rarity, is that your voice?"

However, Changyu Kaede had never heard such a crisp sound at home. He quickly got dressed.

"What?" Erica, who was listening to Chang Yu Feng's words, suddenly heard Chang Yu Feng ask her, and got up with some confusion: "Isn't it your voice?"

"Hey, hey! It's finally back! Skarna! ”

"I'll just say it! You can't go wrong with this location! In Fran, when I saw that apple tree, I knew it was my neighborhood! ”

"Yes, yes, Pelos, you can. Oops, I'm tired, and it's tiring enough to convince my future self. ”

"Heh, I can't imagine that Tang Zilong, you guy, are so stubborn after you get old, I really want to beat you up now!"

"Grandpa!"

"Three! Why did you come along! Didn't you stay in your original world? ”

"I ......"

"Alright, hurry up and help Kaft find a doctor, he's fainting in pain."

"Your Royal Highness, I'm fine, but I didn't expect that the laser of that mechanical octopus could be strong enough to penetrate my steel armor."

"Captain Kraft."

Chang Yu Kaede hurried to the top of the stairs and ran into Erica, who was also up. They all heard the conversation distinctly from different voices. Glancing at each other, the two hurried downstairs.

"Pelos, do you have anyone?" Tang Zilong looked at the room under the apple tree, where there was a thief's bright light.

Kaede and Erica hurried downstairs, and they heard Pelos's name. My parents' friend is finally back after seven years.

They turned on the lights in the hall and also opened the door in the courtyard.

The apple trees are brightened by the light.

They were both excited and hesitant, only to find it outside the door when they opened it.

"Anyone?" Chang Yufeng looked left and right suspiciously, but not long after he looked at it, a muzzle was pressed against their heads. I saw Tang Zilong staring at them murderously, putting his hand on the trigger, as long as he pressed it, their heads would be melted by the laser.

"Are you thieves? Why is it at Pelos's house. ”

Tang Zilong was naked and stern.

When Chang Yu Feng reacted, he could only see that Erica was also held by a Western sword against his neck.

The brother and sister glanced at each other, and looked at each other, a row of people stood under the apple tree, a blonde man with a cowboy hat looked at them with a sad face, Captain Kaft touched his stomach, as if bleeding, beside him, was the princess he had seen supporting him, a little girl with blond hair also looked at them with a cowboy hat suspiciously, and then there were two people beside them, one wearing a long white trench coat, one wearing a long black trench coat, and a laser pistol, A Western sword.

They were all staring at themselves and Erica, waiting for the two of them to answer.

"We are not thieves, we are sons and daughters of Lalfa. I came to Fran to find Uncle Pelos, and we have letters from our parents to prove it. ”

"Lalfa?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"He's still alive?"
