Chapter 258: Farewell and Reunion (the title is wrong)
"Goodbye, bad friend."
"Goodbye, Russell."
After saying "goodbye", Russell walked towards the gate of the palace, smiling happily, not like he was going to greet death, but like an emperor going to perform his own coronation ceremony.
Lin Ruo, who passed by, silently looked at the empty throne in front of him. He just looked at it like this and was silent for a long time.
Finally, Russell pushed open the closed door of the palace.
"Zhika——"
As the light came in, the people in the palace disappeared.
…
Above the gray fog, Lin Ruo opened his eyes. His gaze fell on the Black Emperor card in Klein's hand, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
He knew what time the memory was just now.
That was the end of Russell.
"You should be looking at the world in the mausoleum right now..." Lin Ruo said softly, and he suddenly laughed, a bright smile.
"Lin Ruo, what's wrong with you?"
Klein, who noticed something was wrong the first second Lin Ruo fell into memory, asked cautiously. The rapid change in the other person's mood after that really made him feel butterflies in his heart.
"I thought of something happy." Lin Ruo said with a smile.
Klein looked strange for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Is your wife pregnant?"
This is a reference to the mermaid.
"Don't make trouble, I'm not kidding." Lin Ruo waved her hand and said with a smile: "I really thought of something happy..."
"For example?" Klein was a little curious.
"For example, after so many years, Russell has to update at least a hundred books." Lin Ruo supported his chin with one hand, smiling warmly and brightly, "If he hasn't even written a hundred books, I will
Just read his diary to Bernadette."
Klein:……
Ah this!
Although I don’t know what happened, but... Great Emperor, I mourn for you!
Klein believed that with Lin Ruo's character, if the emperor really didn't write enough one hundred books, he would most likely read Russell's diary to Bernadette Gustave.
Especially with Lin Ruo's bad taste, Klein had no doubt that the other party would pick some special chapters, such as "The witch tastes really good" or something like that.
"Okay, that's not important. Now that we have the Black Emperor card, you should prepare the potion for Benson as soon as possible. It may not be long before a big event happens in Backlund, although I have already done that.
We are fully prepared, but let Benson and Melissa leave before something happens." Lin Ruo waved her hand and continued.
Although multiple guarantees were made, even the members of the Aurora Society stationed in Backlund became their own, and even Bernadette Gustav was brought into the team, and Medici, a Sequence 2, was arranged as the biggest insurance, but
In order to prevent accidents, Lin Ruo still planned to let Benson and Melissa return to Tingen.
After all, Lin Ruo never wanted anything to happen to these two people.
As for the other people in Backlund... Lin Ruo could only say that he had tried his best.
"Okay." Klein's expression tightened and he nodded solemnly.
Lin Ruo thought of the dead straw in the great smog and couldn't help but look at Klein and asked:
"Klein, do you have an informant in the East End?"
"Ah..." Klein was stunned for a moment, but he was used to Lin Ruo's jumping thoughts and then nodded and said: "I do have an informant in the East District. His name is Kohler. He was commissioned by me as a detective before.
What happened to the people I met at that time...?"
Old Kohler... Lin Ruo lowered his eyes and smiled with a little warmth.
"Nothing, just checking."
Although he didn't know what was going on with this specious fate, Lin Ruo had to admit that it was not entirely a bad thing.
At least, he had some regrets while reading, and now he can finally make up for it.
Lin Ruo smiled and said: "By the way, Klein, if you go to the spirit world in the future, it is best not to bring the Black Emperor Card with you, as it may attract some special people to you."
"A special person?" Klein was stunned for a moment, then thought for two seconds and said uncertainly: "The King of the Five Seas?"
"Yes." Lin Ruo nodded in affirmation, "He is the Black Emperor's Sequence 3, and is easily attracted to the Black Emperor's card. But with your current Sequence, when you meet him, it will not be you that will attract him, but him.
You know. If the King of the Five Seas takes the initiative to distort this attraction, it will be more troublesome."
Klein was thoughtful for a moment, and after a while he looked at the Black Emperor Card with a more solemn look.
Lin Ruo looked at the Black Emperor Card which was still open, supported her chin with one hand and said, "Don't be stunned, let's look at the formula."
"Yeah." Klein came back to his senses and looked at all the recipes for the Black Emperor's path one by one.
…
October 21st, Sunday, Backlund Station.
Even in the early morning, there were still many people at Backlund Station. Klein and others were standing on the waiting platform with their luggage, waiting for the arrival of the next steam train.
Today is the day when Benson and Melissa return to Tingen. After getting the Black Emperor Card a few days ago, Klein gathered the extraordinary materials for preparing the lawyer's potion as quickly as possible, and then Benson was there
Under the supervision of Klein, Melissa and Lin Ruo, three people drank the prepared lawyer potion and were successfully promoted to Sequence 9 lawyers.
Afterwards, the brothers and sisters discussed the matter of returning to Tingen, and the date set was today.
"Klein, after we return to Tingen, you must take care of yourself alone in Backlund. I know you are very powerful now, and we can't help you with many things, but no matter what, we are your family
, no matter what happens to you, we will support you..."
Melissa, who was clearly a younger sister but still had the heart of an old mother, whispered to Klein. It could be seen that there was some worry in her eyebrows, and she was obviously worried about Klein's safety.
"...Anyway, you must pay attention to safety. Don't send us any more money. The threads on Benson and I are enough. You...will spend more money in the future, right? Regarding Benson and I, we will
You can figure it out yourself, you don’t have to worry about us all the time.”
"Well, I understand." Klein was obviously not impatient at all with these nagging. He nodded and responded in a low voice with soft eyes, "I will take care of myself."
"Okay, Melissa, Klein is not a child. He will take good care of himself." Benson also said at this time. After saying that, he, who has always been a reliable brother, looked at Klein and said seriously:
"Melissa has already told you what you need to say. I only have one thing to say to you."
"Kleon, never forget to go home."
Klein suddenly felt his nose was a little sore. He rubbed his nose and nodded heavily:
"I remember."
Lin Ruo looked at this scene and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Benson also looked at him at this time and said with great solemnity:
"Mr. Lin Ruo, please keep an eye on Klein."
"I will." Lin Ruo smiled and nodded.
"Uuuuuu——"
The steam train entered the station, and Benson and Melissa boarded the train after saying goodbye to Klein and Lin Ruo.
Seeing the two people's backs disappearing from sight, Klein couldn't help but be infected by the sadness of parting.
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice:
"Hey, Klein? Your Excellency Lin Ruo? Why are you here?"
Klein was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction where the sound came from, and sure enough he saw Leonard carrying a suitcase. It was worth noting that the man's hands were already wearing red gloves.
"Are you here specifically to pick me up?"
Leonard seemed incredulous and a little embarrassed.
