"Master Fan Ning, originally you came here, uh, to have a good drink with you. But this injury, uh, I'm sorry to see it like this. It's really worrying. I hope you recover soon."
"Master, the ship was frightened and bumpy with wind and waves, so there is really no need to rush on our way. There is still more than a month before the festival."
"Mr. Fan Ning, for this rare occasion, do you really not want to go to the Turner Art Theater in Elisha County to guide the work? It will only take half a day tomorrow. In fact, we still have several small art galleries in small towns to work on.
There are also some highlights.”
The banquet hall next to Elisha Port is brightly lit and the atmosphere is harmonious, with glasses being exchanged.
But if you consider that the main seat is a person wearing a wheelchair, this style of painting is actually a bit strange.
After the person who reported the news got in touch with the senior officials of San Porto, the church immediately gave a reply:
Control the spread of this additional information! The local clergy boarded the ship first and controlled the staff! The headquarters immediately sent higher-level people to greet them halfway, and try to slow down the journey of the Old Symphony Orchestra to the Holy City.
!
Although it is said that there are too many "Crescent Moons" and "Forged Lions" coming to Janus to participate in the Harvest Art Festival, and the church cannot receive them all strictly according to the specifications, but now there is actually a "Crescent Moon" who has been beaten
Being in a wheelchair is a big deal!
The follow-up instructions and dispatch from the headquarters are particularly intensive.
As for the local government, even without these instructions, out of selfish calculations, the priest and mayor wanted to ask Master Fan Ning to "inspect and inspect" several locations in the next few days.
As a result, he naturally tried his best to retain her.
It's a pity that Master Fan Ning doesn't appreciate it.
I wasted all my efforts on the local area. I knew the itinerary half a month in advance and made countless preparations, but now it all came to nothing.
After taking a sip of the vegetarian porridge from the spoon fed by Xilan, Fan Ning smiled lightly: "Everyone, I just wanted to have a light meal. I'm passing by to disturb you."
At this point, the mayor and the priest have no choice but to stay.
What should I do? I blame myself for this bad luck.
At least the other party's attitude after eating this meal was considered mild, and he did not vent his anger on himself, or cast a bad impression on Janus as a whole.
If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be in the mood to open my mouth to speak.
So the entire old symphony orchestra led by Fan Ning continued on their way to San Pelto that night.
The main means of transportation for traveling is chartered trains, and horse-drawn carriages are temporarily used in places where trains are not accessible.
When we arrived in the Pontua County area, we took the water route again and switched to a fleet of steam ferries in the canal.
The band also stopped at some places along the way and was warmly received by the local church and municipal leaders. However, Fan Ning also just had a "working meal". Although his behavior was quite gentle, he did not show any in-depth chat or hanging out.
interest.
——This attitude was reported by a series of messengers from the church, and San Porto felt that Master Fan Ning was still suppressing his anger.
Regarding the deeper secrets of the incident, many senior officials of official organizations have also begun to speculate in different versions.
In this way, we walked more and stopped less along the way. The "travel-style rush" plan that everyone originally envisioned after arriving in the Western Continent became a real rush.
Within a few days, the steamboat procession arrived in the lowland Laubkin Parish of Pontua County.
Walking along the canal through the market town area, everyone saw scrap steel bars, piles of rubble, newly built simple houses all over the small town, and residents scraping vegetables and washing clothes in the puddles of shells.
When Fan Ning saw this scene, he was a little emotional.
He has been to this place before, but now the war has fallen into a meaningless stalemate with no idea of when it will end. The "war rear" scene in the small town and the living conditions of the residents are the same as they were nearly two years ago.
However, the one-armed old priest Durk, who had met and followed him here, was now left in the Abnormal Zone forever.
The queue of steam ferries gradually slowed down as they approached the dock port.
From a distance, Fan Ning saw the queue of backup carriages waiting on the shore, as well as the waiting groups of people in twos and threes.
It's very strange, the combination of this wave of people is very strange.
Fan Ning and Xilan's eyes flashed with surprise at the same time, and then brightened again.
They actually saw Lasus.
This old fox who was the supervisory partner of Uflanser and Owen, a musicologist with a profound knowledge of Xiaoxiao, actually crossed the ocean and came here almost simultaneously with him. At this time, he brought several investigators with him, staring at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
.
Another group of people, headed by two people, is a middle-aged man with a thin body, clenched fists, long eyebrows, and a white robe with patterns of burning sun; another silver-haired old man has a kind face, wearing high-profile glasses and a cross necklace.
In his hand is a copy of the Gospel of Lavoisier.
These two people Fan Ning once "acquainted" with were the presiding judge of the Inquisition, Melaltin, and Cardinal Richelieu of the Western Continent!
The second and third most important people in the church came over after hearing the news!
Some local officials and clergymen stood back and did not dare to say anything.
As for the other girl who stood slightly distanced from the church group
She was tall, with her hair tied up, a bright yellow dress, and a colorful belt fluttering in the wind, and she took steps with a look on her face.
"Sister Roy!" Xilan couldn't help shouting in surprise and joy.
In fact, not only Fan Ning, she also hasn't really seen Roy in the waking world for a very long time.
Speaking of which, this is also a delicate process of getting along. Although the two have worked together for a long time, their relationship was not so close from the beginning.
During Fan Ning's school days, including the year after graduation when he was developing his career, Sheeran's impression of Roy was mostly one of admiration and respect.
Roy looked at this violin genius school girl with appreciation in general, and also had some unexplainable feelings of envy or jealousy. This feeling was not at all in line with the broad-mindedness of a young lady from an aristocratic family, but
It is almost difficult to change based on subjective will - Sheeran, as the only daughter after the death of Professor Anton, she felt that Fan Ning had a kind of care for her that it was almost difficult for others to achieve through "efforts".
relation.
But this situation changed somewhat after the incident on the premiere day of "Resurrection" in 914.
Fan Ning is gone, and so is Qiong.
The Turner Art Hall stall was just left to Sheeran, who was inexperienced at the time. On the first day, the second day, and the third day, the earliest, the situation became more difficult, but Roy gave a lot of careless help in the rear.
Return support.
Of course, Sheeran focused more on the headquarters and the old symphony orchestra. Later, with the expansion of theater chains, a large part of this aspect was left to Roy.
It is difficult to describe the essence of this change in one or two sentences, nor can it be said that the two have no grudges at all on some subtle issues, but Sheeran did have a deep sense of dependence on Roy, and may have been biased towards Roy at first.
Initially one-sided, later on, this sense of dependence gradually became mutual.
But from the beginning of 1915, Roy began a 20-month sojourn in San Pelto. Strictly speaking, the days when Fanning pretended to be Lavoisier and got along with Roy were worse than Sheeran's separation from her.
The time is still a little later.
It’s indeed been a long time since I last saw you.
A "barren" invisible cold wind blew by, Sheeran directly traveled through the astral world, and the spirit body "came out" from the front of Roy on the shore.
"Don't you miss me?" Roy smiled and took her hand.
Her expression suddenly became better and gentle just now, but she was actually very anxious before.
Because when she saw Xilan, she could tell from Xilan's overall emotional state that Fan Ning's injury was probably serious, but it was probably not to the level of "dying breath" or "high paraplegia".
I'm afraid I had a stress reaction after hearing the news along the way, and I was overdoing it.
Xilan was held by Roy's hand, and just as he was about to pull her to whisper something in his ear, an untimely muffled sound suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
"Crack!"
I saw that Inspector Juncker, who was already crazy, was tied up by Wu Hua Da at some point, and then was thrown in an arc from the ferry.
It hit Lassus firmly in front of him!
Sheeran and Roy followed the sound.
Melaltin, Richelieu and a group of clergymen behind them also followed suit.
On the deck of the ferry, Fan Ning was seen sitting in a wheelchair, speaking weakly:
"Sir Lasus, please help me check to see which secret organization this person belongs to?"
