Angel looked out with confusion. This was the first time he heard such a loud horn sound since he came to Haiyue City. Could it be that there was an emergency?
At this time, the bookstore owner also walked to the window, pinched his neatly trimmed mustache, and squinted his eyes to look at the Vichy Harbor in the distance: "Oh? It turns out that the merchant ships from the outer continent have arrived. Haha, it seems that the sea route of the Baleen Sea has been completely completed.
It’s thawed, and it will be lively when this cargo ship finishes unloading its cargo.”
Speaking of which, the shop owner ordered his clerk to rush to Vichy Harbor to guard it. He was not the only bookstore in the city. If you want to get more exquisite supplies, it depends on each person's ability.
"The sea route to the Baleen Sea has opened? Then... the ship from Fan Continent is coming? Or rather, it has already arrived." Angel looked into the distance in silence, with a hint of hope and a little sadness in his heart. After a while, Angel put a smile on his face again, put away unnecessary thoughts, and looked through the books in the box.
What made Angel raise his eyebrows was that most of the books in the three boxes were rare leather volumes. Although the leather paper used was of very poor quality at first glance, after all, the mainstream rare leather volumes were all hidden in aristocratic families and were homemade by the people.
The parchment paper is almost normal.
The shop owner wrapped all the books tightly, and as he said, there was no mold or mildew stain. Angel saw that it was still early, so he simply sat down and read through each book one by one.
The sand of time is always dripping. When the floating clouds on the sea and sky are dyed red, the gray seagulls return to the rocks, and twilight falls on the entire Haiyue City. Angel then stood up and patted the fine dust on his trouser legs.
Then he pointed to the wooden box on the side and said to the shop owner: "Please help me deliver the books in this box to the Crown of Glory of the Bounty Guild."
The most luxurious hotel on the entire North Shore is none other than the Crown of Glory. How could the owner of the hotel not have heard of it? He immediately ordered the waiter to carry the box and follow Angel.
Books themselves are expensive, and Angel bought so many this time. It cost 30 gold coins, which is almost equivalent to the income of a family of four for ten years. Angel himself also felt sick, just thinking about books
Equivalent to knowledge, knowledge can be turned into money, and he is relieved...but he also knows that this is just an excuse to comfort himself.
Along the way, Angel clearly felt the excitement of the people around him, and everyone had a happy face. The smooth flow of the Baleen Sea officially opened a good sign for shipping this year.
When we returned to the hotel, the sun had completely set from the end of the sea. There was still a ray of red on the coastline, and Haiyue City had already fallen into the curtain of night.
Before Angel could enter, he saw the door directly opposite open, and brothers Moro and Allen walked towards him.
"I have just received news that the cargo ship from Fan Continent has arrived at the mouth of Haiyue Gorge and will arrive at Vichy Port tomorrow morning. You pack up the things you want to take away tonight, and we will board the ship at noon tomorrow." Moro looked at it.
He glanced at the bookstore clerk who was following Angel, then looked at the whole box of books, and said with a smile: "You should be prepared. You might as well buy some books. We will stay on the ship for nearly half a year, so we can read on the way."
Can pass the time."
After Moro finished speaking, he said to the two grandchildren beside him: "You should also go back and pack your luggage. Starting from tomorrow, I will say goodbye to your comfortable life."
The bright moonlight gently soothed Haiyue City, which was gradually quieting down. Angel stood in front of the terrace, looking to the south, his thoughts spinning a thousand times, but in the end he just shook his head and said goodbye to the worry-free past.
Night birds streaked across the sky, and the Vichy harbor had been busy all day, and finally it became completely quiet after midnight.
The quiet port was dark, with only three or two oil lamps that were about to burn out hanging on a few wooden pillars.
At this time, from a small boat in the corner, a black shadow suddenly passed through the weak light. Through the fleeting light, we could see that it was a man in black, whose whole body was covered.<
/p>
The man in black ran quickly and soon left the Vichy Port. He walked along the unlit road. In the moonlight, he could see a pair of green eyes, but there was nothing else.
Other features.
The man in black is like a lone wolf running at night, silently and without a trace of fireworks, but with a speed comparable to that of a cheetah.
Just as the man in black ran to the central block of Haiyue City, he suddenly let out a "huh" sound and stopped running.
That soft voice, with its pleasant frequency, was clearly a female voice!
"Strange, why do I feel a trace of the phantom demon's breath? Could it be that King Guman has reached an agreement with the people in the Savage Cave?" The woman in black looked with a trace of fear. If the phantom demon really came, she would be doomed as soon as they met her:
"Damn it, it's just a shabby hat, and it actually chased me for two whole years!... Doesn't that crown have any other special features besides symbolizing imperial power?"
The woman in black didn't dare to think too much at the moment. She looked in the direction of the phantom demon's aura, her whole body was filled with excitement, and she ran away without looking back.
The direction she was looking was exactly where the Bounty Guild was.
Under the soft moonlight, Angel closed his eyes in his dream and involuntarily scratched his back with his hands, his expression in his sleep was painful.
No one saw it, but a bright green line slowly spread out from a small spot near the butterfly bone on Angel's back, like a vine, extending little by little...
Angel was awakened by Moore's knock on the door.
With a hint of exhaustion, Angel opened the door and saw Moro in black robes, and the Allen brothers and sisters behind him who were already fully dressed.
Angel was stunned for a moment, why did you get up so early?
Eileen's answer in the next second answered his doubts: "Brother Pat, we have already had lunch, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Have you had lunch? Angel's mind was in a trance. If I remember correctly, Moro said yesterday that he would board the ship at noon today?
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Angel's face, he thought for a moment, coughed twice and said, "I'm sorry, I packed my luggage too late last night, so... you guys wait a moment, I'll be out soon."
After Angel finished speaking, he closed the door without waiting for their reaction.
Looking at the closed door, Moro didn't say anything. Irene, who had a puzzled look on her face, and Allen, who looked indifferent, walked downstairs.
Looking at the busy scene outside the window, Angel was shocked to realize that he had really overslept. He didn't have time to think deeply about why, so he hurriedly cleaned his face.
It wasn't until he arranged his clothes and asked the waiter to pick up his luggage and leave that Angel thought with some doubts.
Yesterday, he went to bed at the normal time, but why was he not woken up until three o'clock in the morning? This is a unique thing for Angel, who always values time very seriously.
Angel thought about it for a long time, but he vaguely felt that his sleep last night was not peaceful. He always felt itchy on his back, like ants crawling in the blood vessels under the skin, with an abrasive itching, and
Indescribable burning pain.
Could it have something to do with being unable to wake up for a long time?
Angel subconsciously stretched out his hand to scratch his back without feeling any abnormality at all.
Is it an illusion?
Angel didn't come to a conclusion until he met with Moro and others, so he had to give up and attributed everything to mental exhaustion.
