Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 35 A Conversation Between Brothers
With the three bowls of creamy mushroom soup on the table, the aroma in the room became more and more intense, and at the table, the two brothers Leon and Swann took their seats early.
"It smells so good! Grandma Kaixi's cooking skills are as good as ever! Swan took a sharp breath of the aroma and gave a thumbs up.
"You're just like your brother, you're a gluttonous cat." Ms. Kaixi nodded Swan's nose, then walked back to the kitchen.
"And something delicious?" Swann was not polite at all, and said cheerfully.
"Your brother has been extravagant enough to prepare you and me Charles' little cake and yellow bread." Ms. Kaixi walked out with two plates.
Leon scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I remember your favorite food when you were a child. ”
"Are you too rich? Buy these things as soon as you get a job, and save some money for me to find a brother and daughter-in-law. Swann complained, but the smile on his face never subsided, and he patted Leon's head casually, "And! Charles's stuff is something you love to eat! Not me! ”
"Then don't eat it!" Leon replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you two brothers don't quarrel, the food is right in front of you, why don't you enjoy it? That's right! Don't forget to look forward to it before you start eating. ”
Placing the two plates on the dining table, Kaixi came to her place, slowly reading her eyes and mouth.
"Praise the Mother of Life for the life you give, so that your devout believers can enjoy a pleasant dinner."
In Lyon's memory, Lady Kaixi is a devout member of the Cult of Life, worshipping the Mother Goddess of Life, and praying prayers every dinner.
The prayer is over and the supper begins.
A delicious beef stew is served with a fragrant mushroom soup and a dessert petit four.
It's been a long time since Lyon had a real meal, and compared to the meal on the landlubbers, it's a human delicacy!
Swann said that he didn't like to eat runny yellow bread, but he was the first to move, he spread the cream on the bread, anyway, it was his own family and didn't care about any image, he opened his mouth and bit down, the yellow juice was left along the corners of his mouth, and the milky aroma and sweetness made him have an endless aftertaste.
"Don't you like to eat?" Leon took a sip of the mushroom soup and complained with a smile.
"I don't want to waste it, how can I have the money to buy these?" Swanke didn't care about the little brother's complaints, and answered.
"I made some good things on the landlubber and sold them to make some money." Leon took a bite of beef and replied.
Swann seemed a little surprised, but he didn't stop, and took a bite of the rest of the bread, "Oh? What did Captain Sloper give you? He is good, but the legend is not generous, and he will give you the things on the landlubber. ”
"The Sloopes are dead, and I've helped sort something out, and it's Gico. Serge's first mate. ”
As for the situation on the landlubber, Leon does not intend to hide it, not to mention that the other party is his brother.
"Dead?" Swan, who was almost choking, breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Just so I wanted to ask you what happened on the landlubber?" How did the original plan to go to sea for 15 days be delayed for more than a month, and you can't be contacted at all. ”
Ms. Kaixi, who was drinking the mushroom soup, did not illustrate, but listened quietly, and she also wanted to know what was happening on the ship.
Leon wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "You know Pandia. Jones? ”
"Pandia. Jones? The captain of the Tirisfa? He's been gone for a hundred and fifty years, how do you know about him? Hearing the name, Swann gasped.
"Yes, that's him! If my judgment is correct, he is not dead, he has somehow sealed his consciousness in the forsaken of the gods, and used the supernatural power of the Pandia music box to control and take possession of the Slobes. Leon sat up straight and said earnestly.
"What? What God forsakes? Swann couldn't control his reaction for a moment, "No wonder you've been out of touch for so long!" Damn the Slobes brought such a dangerous object as the God's Forsaken with the Landlubber! ”
Leon continued his narration, "Pandia. Using Slopy's body to pretend to be another sailor, Jones performs a series of bloody rituals aboard the Landlubber, with eight crew members going berserk, mutating, and being killed! ”
"Bloody rituals?" Swan scooped a spoonful of mushroom soup into his mouth and said, "What bloody ritual?" ”
"I don't know the first few times, it's all Jike. Serge handled it secretly, and the last time I saw the ceremony with my own eyes, it was a sailor named Lauren, who died in almost the same way as the bloody case that took place in the small town of Horin during this time! Leon tried to conceal the amnesia as much as possible, and continued to describe it.
"Good thing you're alright, my dear brother! But, then again, you've just come back, how do you know so clearly? Swann looked incredulous, and of course he didn't forget to remind Ms. Kaixi: "Grandma Kaixi, you should try not to go out at night these days, since the death of the sheriff's daughter, most of the rangers in charge of the night parade have been transferred to the other four blocks. ”
Hearing this, Leon's heart couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder when I first returned, I saw only two rangers in the Sonswo neighborhood, and it turned out that all the police forces had been deployed to protect the rich and noble.
In this case, the local administrators still put the protection of the powerful on the heart, and the poor can only rely on themselves.
Of course, Swan's reminder was also echoed, and Ms. Kaixi, who had not spoken, said, "Don't worry, children, I will protect myself, you need to take care of your own safety when you go out, I hope the Mother Mother of Life will protect you." “
Leon nodded in response to Lady Kaixi's concern, and continued to answer Swan's question, "My dear brother, have you forgotten my job?" I saw this news in the journal of our daily society, and I saw it in the publication, and the picture description in the publication was almost the same as Lauren's death scene, and the most important point was that the ancient secret words of Ampsin appeared. ”
"Yes, Sheriff Anno has sent people to collect all kinds of literature on Ampsin language, and today he also sent a new trainee sheriff to the Sheldon Chamber of Commerce to buy materials, but nothing has been gained?" Swan scraped another mouthful of the soup and put it in his mouth.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Hearing this, Leon coughed a few times in succession, and in front of his eyes, only 3 Jinsha fans were flying away with wings, and the man in the robe nodded goodbye shyly!
"What's wrong? Choking? My dear silly brother, you eat slowly, and no one is with you. Swan patted Leon on the back and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just something happy that comes to mind." Leon cleared his throat and got down to business: "Brother, do you know anything about the Ampsin?" ”
"I don't know much." Swann shook his head.
Leon, who was about to continue speaking, was interrupted by Ms. Kaixi's voice.
"Maybe, I can provide a little information."
