Anduru dragged Elizabeth back into the hall without saying a word.

Elizabeth finally reacted at this time, and sat on the sofa and peeked at Andu a few times.

Seeing Andu's silence, the girl wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know what to say, and finally simply took a glass of orange juice and turned her eyes to the orchestra performance in the center of the hall.

Adelaide Louis Chenguang, a man who should have been at the center of the political maelstrom and on the verge of a struggle for power, would leave the imperial capital.

Why is he here?

Andu's heart was full of doubts.

According to Tonali's news, the final destination of the Palmer is in the Sea of Chia, so the best means of transportation should be airships, why would he choose such a time-consuming mode of transportation by sea?

Did he just come out on a trip?

If not, then what is his purpose?

Obviously there were no clues or reasons, but Andu still smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Recalling all sorts of hidden information about the Empire, Andu leaned back on the couch and fell into thought.

If it wasn't for the Sea of Chia, then where would his destination be?

Andu rubbed his fingers lightly, his gaze wandered the hall constantly, and finally gradually froze.

The Sea of Chia is a neutral area, a pirate's paradise, and such a place has no value to him at the moment.

Borderlands!

Andu picked up a glass of brandy with an ugly face and took a big sip to calm down.

No other continent in Akmund, except for the southernmost land, smells of war as much as the Borderlands.

It is bordered by Aaron, Bahas, the Sea of Hia, and the Holy Duchy, but if you remove the unoccupied non-colonial lands, to the west is the Green Light Forest and the Nord Duchy, and to the east is the Mercenary Kingdom!

Andu thought back to the information about Chenguang, and found that the other party was in many places, and they all had the motive to go.

Palmer ......

The brilliant lights inside the boat are constantly circulating, shining on the tourists, making it difficult to see the original appearance.

Andu retracted his thoughts, no matter where the other party's destination was, he was sure that it had nothing to do with him.

This answer made his heart settle down a little, and the more than half a month he came to this world, he felt more frightened than he had experienced in his previous life, which was almost thirty years old.

Andu lowered his eyelids, unable to see his appearance clearly.

"Elizabeth. ”

Andu suddenly stopped the girl, her eyes had already returned to normal, and there was a faint smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" the girl said, turning back.

Her face is a little complicated, she seems to be appreciating the performance, but she has actually been paying attention to Andu's state.

The girl didn't want to ask about Andu's reaction just now, since something happened to him, it had changed too much.

Whether it was the last time she had happened in Galway, or the discovery of a dark crystal, joining a church, or even last night, almost everything was beyond her comprehension.

The Andu who used to be timid and cautious, but now she is completely unpredictable.

Every time she was in danger, Andu would always stand in front of her and protect her, but this was not something that Andu could have done.

If it was before, he would have hugged himself and hid in the corner and didn't dare to make a sound...... Elizabeth suddenly thought.

Andu looked at the girl's somewhat strange look, paused and said, "It's nothing, you like music?"

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's okay, what's wrong?"

Andu smiled: "If you like, I can send you to the academy to learn music." ”

It took a long time for Elizabeth to react and say, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Andu said: "You are not young anymore, learning something can be regarded as something to do, you can't always stay at home." ”

Elizabeth pondered for a moment and said, "I do like music, yes, and art!"

Andu sat up straight, put the brandy in his hand back on the table, and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

"When are you going to go to the academy?" Elizabeth pinched the corner of her clothes and said a little nervously, "I haven't studied before, I heard that learning music is to start practicing from a young age, am I still in time?"

"It's okay. Andu sat down beside the girl and said with relief: "You are so smart, you will definitely learn quickly." ”

The girl's worries slowly dissipated under Andu's persuasion, and a happy smile appeared on her face again.

Andu looked at the girl's smile and laughed.

Andu accompanied his sister to enjoy the music performance all morning, and the musicians of those orchestras were like machines that would not get tired, and Andu wondered if they had been dressed in the magic pattern of the rune array.

At lunchtime, Tonali, who had disappeared all morning, finally appeared, and Andu looked at the depressed look on his face, and immediately guessed the battle situation in his heart.

Without waiting for Tonali to speak, Andu preemptively said, "I'll talk about it later, eat first." ”

"Okay. Tonali said with a sad face.

For lunch, the three of them chose to go to a special restaurant, although there was endless food in the hall, but it was not the main food after all.

The work of ordering food was handed over to Andu, and at this time, Tonali was no longer in the mood to order.

In order not to let Elizabeth find out the price on the menu, Andu barely took much time to order.

The three main dishes are steaks from the Hazesleu region, a seven-ripe ribeye steak sprinkled with black peppercorns that tantalizes the taste buds of the trio with aroma.

Side dishes include pan-seared foie gras from Neuhaus, deep-sea cod from Partington, and more.

Elizabeth looked at the dishes on the table with glowing eyes, and suddenly looked at Tonali with gratitude.

"Don't leave in the future, just stay in Halma!"

Tonali wondered, "Why?"

Elizabeth said solemnly: "Only if you stay in Halma, I can eat so well!"

Tonali was speechless, and his already depressed mood became more complicated.

Andu smiled: "He rarely invited us to dinner before, and this meal is not cheap." ”

Elizabeth pouted, "Then it's not that you won't let him have a treat?"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Andu channeled the aroma of the steak towards the girl, and the result was an immediate effect, attracting all the attention of the other party.

"I'll go to the bathroom. The three people who had solved the lunch problem were walking in the aisle, and Andu suddenly spoke.

"I'll go too. Tonali followed.

"Go, go, go. Elizabeth patted her stomach and couldn't help but burp.

Andu stood at the door of the bathroom, stopped and looked back, making sure Elizabeth couldn't see this side, before he spoke, "Lost?"

"Almost. Tonali said in frustration.

"Normal, it's interesting to have wins and losses. Andu reassured.

"Five thousand silver dollars, lost in the morning, do you think they will have a problem?" Tonali complained.

"You want to go by yourself, even if people have problems, you are voluntary. Andu lashed.

"By the way, my money is with you, right?" Tonali thought about it, but still couldn't swallow this breath and said, "I have to go back and have another fight with them!"

Andu looked at Tonali, who had entered the state of a gambler, and reluctantly took out his share of the money, reminding: "You lose slowly, don't finish tossing before night." ”

"Don't worry!" Tonali said confidently.

......

The hall at night.

The opera performance was underway, and the hall, which had been empty during the day, was now full of people.

"Why don't you go playing?" said Elizabeth, puzzled.

“......”

"Okay, it's boring to sit there all day, and it's good to watch the show. Andu looked at Tonali, who had no love on his face, and interrupted.

The girl didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly turned her attention back to the performance.

"If you want to go, I still have money. Andu thought for a moment and patted Tonali on the shoulder.

"Nope. Tonali put away his color and said seriously: "I will never gamble for money in my life!"

Andu looked at Tonali and said casually: "You also said this the year before last, and you also said last year that you would quit drinking." ”

Tonali smiled awkwardly and said unhappily, "Can you stop talking about these old things?"

"Alright, let's watch the show. Andu didn't bother to talk to him.

......

Early in the morning, the Palmer.

A large crew stood on deck, busily packing up the cables.

Elizabeth walked happily in the front, urging the two behind her from time to time.

The two of them spoke at the same time, carrying the things Elizabeth had bought from the ship.

"Why don't you carry it?"

"I can't move it. Elizabeth grimaced and trotted away with a puff of smoke.

Tonali glared at Andu and complained, "Look at your sister!"

Andu rolled his eyes back and said, "Okay, let's get off the boat quickly!"

In the early morning, because of the high tide, the hull of the ship became even taller, and the two followed the girl from a distance.

On the deck, in an inconspicuous place, two pairs of eyes were watching the three people who disembarked.

"Why?" asked Horace, blankly.

"You don't need to know. The man said.

Horace looked at the man with the long sword at his waist incomprehensibly, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said, "Is that what he meant?"

"Yes. ”

When the man had answered, he put his right hand on his sword and turned away, leaving only a back for Horace.

It wasn't until the man had completely disappeared from the deck that Horace raised his head.

His face was cloudy, his eyes were full of indescribable resentment, and he didn't know how long it took, and two words came out of his mouth coldly.

"Chenguang!"

A little further away from the Palmer, a small cargo ship.

Mario, who had been staying in the cabin and hadn't been out for a long time, pushed open the door and walked out with a purple turban.

Looking at the Palmer slowly departing, Mario stood on the bow of the ship, feeling relieved.

Finally gone......

Mario casually looked at the docks as if he were on patrol, returning to his territory.

There was satisfaction and enjoyment on his face, but it didn't last long, and his gaze finally stayed in one direction.

The direction of a horse-drawn carriage.

There, the three figures were talking and laughing.
