Chapter 223 Wenya

If you were to ask a random civilian on the streets of Jordan to give a critical review of the person "Zhou Li", you would probably get only one answer.

Who is he hooking up with?

Yes, until now, everyone knows that "Detective Folds" shines in bizarre cases, but they are completely ignorant of Zhou Li's identity. The Battle of Jordan Tower did not happen for some reasons.

The entire process was immediately opened to the public, and they only announced that the source of the plague had been eliminated, without saying anything about the specific content. Therefore, the entire Jordan did not know who saved them.

Of course, it is certainly unrealistic to expect Zhou Lihui to just laugh it off without caring about fame or fortune.

"You haven't claimed your identity yet?"

Bai Ziluo, Ivey picked up the fragrant tea on the side, took a sip and asked lightly: "Do we need to declare the Chamber of Commerce of Brave to the outside world?"

"No need for the time being."

Zhou Li thought for a moment, Heizi stood down, picked up the tea cup and replied: "We don't need to tell the nobles, they will naturally know that you belong to the brave force. As for ordinary people, there is no need to say anything for the time being, just use your own names.

, I have other uses."

"good."

In response, the white piece fell, and the chess game ended.

"Five in a row, I win."

After wiping a handful of cold sweat, Ivey smiled evilly and finally relaxed.

Looking at the back and forth between the two people playing backgammon in front of them, Kaya, who was being dragged by Ivey to be the referee, had an indifferent expression on her face. Then she stood up unsteadily, never wanting to deal with these two despicable adults again.

Played.

"You won't give in to your boss."

Zhou Li, who had been slightly defeated in four games in a row, suddenly became angry and rolled up the chessboard with black mist and put it aside, "Damn, why are you all so good at playing?"

"Please, how long has it been since Emperor Chong invented these things?"

Aiwei laughed and didn't care. He knew that if Zhou Li really wanted him to cheat, he wouldn't have tried to cheat three times in a row under Kaya's surveillance.

"I came and copied them all."

Zhou Li shook his head regretfully. Just like many people who traveled late, he had nothing to copy in this world. Before he came, Chonghuang collected all the things that could be found without too much brainpower.

I have done it again, as for those inventions in chemistry or physics.

Come on, people here can rub diamonds by hand.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay for us to just play chess here?"

At this time, in the entire "United Chamber of Commerce of Braves", only these two stinky chess players who competed in backgammon had no work to do. Others more or less had their own things to do. Ivey rubbed his chin and grinned and said: "We are all busy.

I always feel uncomfortable unless I do something."

"Why don't you mop the floor?"

Zhou Li glanced at Stinky Chess Basket No. 2 with a slightly strange look, "What can we do? There's nothing left to do. Why don't you bite a small ignition circle and I'll give you some gifts."

Automatically filtering Zhou Li's words that although he didn't understand, but they must have abstract meanings, Aiwei scratched his cheek and said twice, "It's mainly because I'm used to being busy, and I have a big job coming soon, so I always feel idle.

Something’s not quite right.”

"Yeah...that's true."

Zhou Li thought for a while, nodded and agreed with Ivey. Then he threw the silver thorn vine to Ivey and said to him: "Let's go to the Hunter Guild and show this and they can let you in.

You tell their president not to forget to attend my inauguration ceremony tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhou Li felt in his pocket again and handed Aiwei a phone card.

"The old man definitely doesn't want to come. Give this to him and tell him that Gerost will go."

The phone card Zhou Li gave to Ivey was a token used to summon the jellyfish Vera. After taking the phone card, Ivey got up and prepared to leave, heading to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce.

"By the way, are you sure Gerost will go tomorrow?"

After getting dressed, Ivey remembered this matter. He had just discussed Gerost with Zhou Li, and the answer he came to was that there was no way to bring him into the group in a short time. Now Zhou Li asked him to use Gerost

The first person who would be present invited the president of the Hunter Guild, which gave him a bad guess.

"Of course not."

Zhou Li continued to look at him with that strange look, and said matter-of-factly: "I lied to Erwin, how come you still believe me?"

"Uh-huh."

Ivey was speechless for a moment, but when he thought about Zhou Li's usual behavior, he felt relieved.

After closing the door, Zhou Li was the only one left in the empty mansion. Even Kaya and Eluma went out to buy food for dinner, and she was the only one left to prepare the food.

No, it can’t be like this!

Standing up from the sofa, Zhou Li took a deep breath and slowly walked into the room.

Then he lay on the bed.

Even if it is displayed, it should be displayed on the bed.

******************************

Torea was sitting on a chair, her legs covered with a blanket lent to her by the hotel lady. Holding a cup of hot cocoa, she stared at the hazy sky and the dilapidated Jordan Tower in the distance.

"Little Torea..."

There was a knock on the door, and Torea's ears twitched. Then she put the blanket aside, stood up, and opened the door.

"How's it going? How are you getting used to living there?"

The old man with a kind face and gray hair was carrying a tray. On the tray were two pieces of toasted golden toast, a few strips of bacon, and a sun-kissed egg.

"Grandma Wen Ya, just ring the bell next time and I'll get it myself."

Torea took the tray and put it on the table. She brushed up the hair scattered around her ears and replied softly: "It's really nice here, and your blanket is very comfortable."

"That's good."

The old man named Wen Ya smiled. She looked at the woman who was as cold as the moon in front of her, her eyes full of tenderness, "Little Torea, how long do you plan to stay in Jordan?"

“Can you see I’m not Jordanian?”

Torea pointed at herself and asked doubtfully. Then she realized that her behavior was a little silly, and she quickly put down her hands, and her ears were also stained with a faint crimson.

"Of course, everyone can see it."

My mother-in-law is a very enthusiastic person. When she saw Torea walking aimlessly on the street that day, she was afraid that she was a resident of the area around the Jordan Tower. She couldn't think of going near the Jordan Tower and quickly pulled her into her small hotel.

Later in the conversation, I learned that Granny Wen Ya’s daughter was a Templar and had been on a mission recently. Her husband died of pneumonia two years ago, so she ran the hotel alone.

Sitting on a chair nearby, Granny Wen Ya looked at the clean and tidy bed and said gently: "You have a different temperament than people in Jordan. This kind of temperament is rare."

"Um?"

Torea was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What kind of temperament is it?"

"Lonely."

"well?"

Torea frowned slightly, and the confusion on her face deepened. Seeing Torea like this, Grandma Wenya had a loving look on her face: "You know, the prerequisite for loneliness is to be able to choose to be alone."

"In Jordan, many people don't have the right to choose."

Looking at the world outside the window, Granny Wenya seemed to have been opened up to talk, and she began to slowly say to Torea: "In Jordan, when a child is born, the rest of his life is decided. What gospel does the gospel preach?

, he will stay in his position for a lifetime. People are not machines and always want to stop and take a rest."

"But Jordan is a very busy city and it never stops to wait for anyone."

A dim light flashed in the old man's eyes. She took out a silver ring from her pocket, with a row of stars engraved on it. The carving was a bit rough, but the hard work of the carver could be seen.

"Children, cherish the opportunity to choose."

Putting the ring on the table, the old man stood up and took a deep look at Torea. There was imperceptible sadness and deep love in her eyes.

"Don't let loneliness hurt you, and don't be afraid of loneliness."

It was a bit foggy, but Torea still felt the deep concern in the old man's tone. She nodded and responded softly: "Although I didn't quite understand it, I will keep it in mind."

The old man said nothing more. She just glanced at Torea for the last time, as if she wanted to imprint her in her mind. Then, she opened the door and left the room.

It's night.

When the waning moon slowly rose and sprinkled the silver moonlight under the window, Torea opened the window as usual, preparing to go to the clock tower to see the moon. But when she was about to jump out from the table covered with paper

At that moment, her peripheral vision glanced at the ring she had placed on the table.

Torea thought for a while and picked up the ring. The ring was an ordinary silver ring, and the star carving was purely handmade. It was a little rough, but the exquisite star carving proved the carver's intention.

Torea looked at the ring in her hand. When she rotated the ring, her fingertips touched the inside of the ring. She was startled for a moment, then raised the ring above her head in the moonlight and looked at the carvings inside.

"When you miss me, raise your head and look at the stars."

When she saw this line of text, Torea was stunned. Soon, as if she had thought of something, she quickly opened the door and ran to the third floor of the hotel.
