Zhang Yi Lu Jiu: The difference after one year
Today is Sheldon's last day as the director of the Orc Management Department and the comprehensive affairs management consultant of the Dream Department. Tomorrow, his work contract will expire. This famous "general with children" between the two companies has already
It has become a legend among employees. After all, Sheldon's knowledge is more than enough to handle these basic affairs, and his efficiency is beyond most people's expectations. It is unreasonable not to be famous.
On this cherished night, Payman specially invited Sheldon and the two to a relatively famous small restaurant in the Vatican, preparing to end Sheldon's time in the Orc Management Department with a last meal.
Perman, who doesn't usually drink much, actually opened a bottle of his own 40-year-old white wine today. The restaurant's signature dish is red baked ham. According to these diners, they will know it after just one visit.
Fall in love with this sweet and delicious soft glutinous taste.
Sheldon actually didn't expect that Peyman would treat him and Merlin to dinner, because this kind of thing had never happened once during the long period of time when Merlin was on duty.
But Sheldon didn't intend to be polite to the other party today. It would be a disgrace to his taste buds not to take a sip of such a good wine. Sheldon and Peyman were still dressed in formal attire for work. They were in a slightly stuffy restaurant.
Even wearing underwear was a hassle, so I simply took it off and hung it on the back of the chair.
Merlin's clothes had to be changed every three days. This little guy grew up so fast. If he hadn't further adjusted his body, his current body would be comparable to that of an eight or nine-year-old child.
For a period of time, Sheldon always felt that Merlin's height fluctuated and he couldn't figure it out. This was actually the result of Merlin's adjustment at that time.
All in all, the current height of the little guy is set at the normal age of four or five years old. Although he will grow taller in the future, it will still be within the range of normal people.
"Cheers! Sheldon! Today I specially opened a bottle of good wine. How can I not drink it?" Peiman raised the huge brown wine bottle in her hand. Different from the previous formal style, she shook the inside twice boldly.
The wine liquid made a muffled sound.
"Cheers." Sheldon smiled, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Two years have passed in a flash, and it will be gone if you keep working."
"If you hadn't insisted on leaving..." Peiman muttered resentfully, "You know how much change you have brought to us! The efficiency of the previous group of staff has doubled under your hands!"
"Haha, I mainly want to go out with my son and see the world," Sheldon told the truth. "Of course I will find another job, but it won't be as stable."
Peiman smiled at Merlin and put a chopstick into his bowl: "You really think about your son. To be honest, what he has experienced in this year has not left anything in his heart. It can be regarded as a kind of
You're lucky."
"Well," Sheridan, who was now familiar with his role as a father, replied, "he is very sensible and doesn't make me worry at all. On the contrary, he has benefited me a lot."
Merlin just buried his head in eating and didn't plan to say anything.
"Then where are you going to find a job in the future? But the money you have earned in the past two years is enough for you to live a good life." Peiman asked curiously, holding the tip of the fork in his hand.
"The main thing is to let him gain some exposure," Sheldon rubbed Merlin's head lovingly, "I'm going to go to the mercenary gathering and take him around."
"Then you have to pay attention to your safety. Is it okay for a civilian to do this...?"
"Of course, it's more than enough." Sheldon laughed loudly, "I won't take any particularly difficult orders."
"Alas..." Peiman sighed sadly, "To be honest, your salary is already twice that of mine. If you stay here, you can also be my companion and let those people make trouble."
You stupid pig, calm down."
"It's been a really hard time." Sheldon took a sip of his wine, "I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but they can't get the funds approved no matter how hard they are."
"If I hadn't worked for these people, I would have found another way, let me tell you!" Peyman was angry, "They didn't mean to thank me at all! A bunch of blood-sucking worms! They just eat and don't do anything!"
The glass was empty and refilled, and it seemed that Peiman's drinking capacity was relatively poor, and he became a little drunk after a while. During this period of time, except for Sheldon, Peiman could basically remember her.
All the employees were scolded, and they kept wiping their tears with tissues, saying, "You never know how dilapidated the internal facilities of a small agency can be"...
Peiman is also a very capable working woman. According to her, Dreams had nothing at the beginning, and it became what it is now because of her efforts. It can be seen that she has already become obsessed with this place.
She developed some feelings, and her unwillingness to leave was just wishful thinking on her part.
"I could have opened up this quiet place!" Peiman's face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge. "But, what will they do if I leave!"
"I told them the manual requirements ten thousand times, but they never listened! I could only tell them over and over again!"
Sheldon could only listen to it with a smile, while Merlin looked confused as he handled the sweet cheese soup in his bowl, which was a bit hot.
After a while, Peiman also realized that something seemed not quite right in the atmosphere, so he laughed and started talking about other things.
"Has your son grown taller recently?"
"He is at the right age for his body to grow, but I don't know why he looks like this."
Peiman suddenly stepped forward, brushed the hair on his face, and said mysteriously: "I always feel that there is some secret between you two that you are hiding from me."
Uh...this is a little embarrassing.
Sheldon's original drunkenness disappeared immediately, and cold sweat seeped out from under his neck bit by bit, but his tone was still very calm: "Oh? Why do you think so?"
"Because~ Hehe! Your son is growing up so fast. It's obviously not normal! And you are so powerful. It's not clear why you came here... The name Marin can't be that unpleasant...
..Tsk!" Peyman muttered in a low voice, "This is a woman's sixth sense! You can't fool me! Ugh...um..."
Before Peiman could finish speaking, she covered her mouth first, and the signs of vomiting had already appeared.
"Be careful! Don't drink too much..." Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief, as his secret was almost guessed by the other party, "I'll get you some tea to sober up.
....."
After the banquet ended and Peyman was sent away, Sheldon's last day in the Orc Management Department ended in such a dramatic way, for which he had a clear conscience.
Under his arrangement, the appearance of orcs on the street will not cause unnecessary disturbances, which is a benefit to everyone.
Sheldon also called a carriage, and the two of them set off back to Lilac Street.
Today is also the time for Merlin and Maul to say goodbye.
In fact, this was neither painful nor unpleasant for Merlin. Apart from the fact that the little guy walked around with him twice when he was bored, it basically had no effect.
Merlin originally planned to let him provide him with any convenience in his daily life, but in the end, Sheldon did all these things, so wouldn't his nightmare be equivalent to losing his job...
But Moore seemed reluctant to leave, because his life level had improved significantly during the period of time when he was close to Merlin. After all, one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. At this level of life,
How could I not receive a little bit of soup and water even if I start from scratch?
"Sir, I... I don't want to leave. Can I stay with you for a while?" Little Moll stretched out his hands and made a gesture of throwing himself to the ground, dangling in the air.
, "During the time I spent with adults, my strength has obviously risen to a new level... I'm afraid it's something I can't do outside..."
"Are you going to let it go?" Merlin asked Marquez.
"It's up to you. It doesn't matter whether you accept this follower or not. But you may encounter some problems later in life, so there's no problem in letting him deal with them."
In the end, Merlin decided to keep his rune creature servant. It didn't eat his own food anyway, so there was no problem.
When he returned home, it was almost time to go to bed. The little boy drank the milk, lay on the bed, and saw Sheldon sitting on his desk from a distance, with a letter in his hand. The material of the letter was quite high-end.
Sheldon pursed his lips heavily and looked at the wet red postmark on the envelope in disbelief. He almost didn't say the four words "What's going on?"
Click...
Sheldon ripped open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
"hiss--"
The smell of the ink is still as heavy as ever.
There were only a few words in the letter, but Sheldon was stunned when he read it:
"You seem to be fine recently, and you are living happily with your illegitimate son. I wonder when you will see me, an old man! Even if you insist on leaving my men and running to the Merlin Cult who is nothing, you still
It’s me, [Loremaster], Zaratul’s unique student! Come to me sometime and take your son with you!”

You are still as proud as ever...and how on earth did you find me?
