Lian Na didn't see Locke until it got dark. She hadn't eaten anything all day long. She only ate some dry food in the wilderness from the night before yesterday to yesterday.
A magician would not starve to death in two days, but he was indeed hungry. In Lina's consciousness, food had long been separated from low-level needs, and daily luxury and exquisiteness had become a symbol of life taste.
.
As long as she is willing, there are chefs who can prepare various delicacies for her at any time, attend various dinner parties, and occasionally comment on the delicacies, which also shows the cultivation and vision commensurate with her status.
But all day long, there was only white water in this room. After dark, the street lights turned on outside, and there were actually many pedestrians on the street. The security here was much better than expected, and everyone seemed very relaxed.
.
Lian Na opened the window and smelled a very strong and alluring aroma, which was different from the aroma of deliberately processed food. The smell immediately aroused her appetite and she could not help but salivate under her tongue.
She found the shopping coupon issued by the Fesuo Port Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the desk drawer. After reading the information from the previous investigation, she knew what this thing was used for. She also knew that Jindianxing, which Locke was responsible for, had recently opened five Dongguo fast food restaurants.
This shopping voucher can also be used there.
Lian Na finally opened the door and went downstairs. The employees of Jindianxing downstairs must have been instructed and did not stop her actions, but they had no other reaction, not even a nod, and were still doing their own thing.
He seemed to turn a blind eye to her.
This made Lian Na very uncomfortable, but she was inexplicably relieved. She easily found the source of the fragrance. In addition to not knowing the local dialect, Lian Na was proficient in several languages and could even speak a few words in Dongguan.
A simple conversation, buying something with a shopping voucher, there is no difficulty in communication.
The store was cleaner than she expected, and the wooden tables were wiped every time there was a change of customers. She ordered a bowl of fried noodles, and as soon as she took the first bite, a kind person next to her told her that this is not how it is eaten and that it needs to be mixed first.
Just fine.
Although she had learned how to use chopsticks in etiquette class, she was not very used to it. She was not very skilled at mixing noodles. Moreover, she had never had to do this kind of food that required mixing before, so she splattered several oily spots on her chest.
on the front clothes.
This was such a worthy act, but she couldn't care less about it because this bowl of noodles was so delicious!
She almost devoured the bowl of noodles, completely forgetting her table manners and noble image. No one here knew her anyway.
But how could such a mature, sexy, and charming beauty not attract attention? The manager and the chef were very happy, as this was the best compliment to their craftsmanship, and they thoughtfully gave away a bowl of Xiaoshi noodle soup for free.
.
After taking a sip of noodle soup, Lian Na asked for another bowl, but she finished it quickly, and then asked for another bowl. After all, Lian Na was a magician and had a very good physique, not as weak and delicate as she looked.
, it’s actually quite edible.
I remember when Zha Xin, the old patriarch of the Poseidon tribe and a senior worker at the International Terminal, came to this noodle shop for the first time, he ate three bowls in a row just like her, and he didn't even drink the soup.
After three bowls of noodles and one bowl of soup, Lian Na was completely full and couldn't help but burp. This was a very disrespectful act of not paying attention to your manners, but she really couldn't control it. Who doesn't burp when she's full?
Really comfortable.
She hiccupped like this and returned to Jindianxing, just before the store on the first floor closed at 9:30 in the evening. There were many valuables on the counter. Such a store dared to open at night. It seemed that this was a very noble place.
neighborhood.
She was right to think so. The trading area where Jindianxing was located was indeed one of the most "noble" neighborhoods in Port Feso, but it had never been open at night.
Evening business is something that happened after the emergence of the Kelin District. Nowadays, there is no concept of a trade area. On the original territory of the Big Head Gang, next to the street police station, a barbecue restaurant has recently opened. It mainly does all-night business at night. It is particularly special.
popular.
Lina suddenly remembered that there was a set of keys left in the desk drawer, which should include the keys to Jindianxing's store door and the upstairs suite, so that she could go in and out on her own after the store closed.
She turned on the desk lamp and read the documents for a while. Anyway, she had nothing else to do, and soon she felt tired.
She was actually very tired from yesterday to now, even mentally and physically exhausted. She hadn't slept because she was very nervous and anxious. After eating the noodles, she felt somewhat relaxed for no apparent reason. Once she relaxed, she would inevitably feel sleepy.
There is a bed in the bedroom, and Locke must have lived here, and he obviously did not deliberately change her to a new and clean set of bedding. Lina is very sensitive to this, not because of her magical skills, but purely because of her living habits.
But she couldn't be picky at this time, so she locked the door and took a nap. She fell into a particularly deep sleep and didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next morning, as if she had completely lost her vigilance.
Anyway, divine magic has been banned, so if Locke wants to deal with her, she can't resist.
Of course you have to wash up after getting up, but the toiletries here are obviously used by Locke, and only one toothbrush is new. Lian Na gritted her teeth and decided to use it, because the feeling of not washing up was so uncomfortable that she simply couldn't bear it.
Wearing clothes is almost the same.
After washing up, she put her keys and shopping vouchers in her pocket and went out. It was the same Youpo noodle shop as yesterday. The manager and the waiter all knew her and greeted her warmly.
They couldn't help but be impressed that Lianna was so beautiful, had such a good figure, and could eat so much.
This was her earliest acquaintance in Fiso Port. She felt a sense of security in her subconscious, and then she began to carefully look at the illustrated menu on the wall.
She found that she was so stupid yesterday that she even ordered three bowls of the same oily noodles. There are ten other kinds of noodles here, and they all look delicious. You can try another one.
There are five Youpo noodle restaurants in Kelin District. Each noodle restaurant serves at least ten kinds of noodles, many of which are duplicates, totaling thirty kinds of noodles.
Therefore, there are two ways to check out noodles locally. One is to check by variety, and thirty bowls are enough. The second is to check by noodle shop, because even if each shop makes the same noodles, the craftsmanship and taste will be different, so
That's almost sixty bowls to clean.
I didn't eat noodles as boldly as last night. Although I'm still not very good with chopsticks, at least I didn't spill soup on myself again. I tasted two different noodles this time, one fried noodles and one soup noodles.
After finishing the meal, Lian Na drank all the noodle soup. She stood up to thank the waiter and burped twice when she walked out of the noodle shop. It felt very natural.
Back in the room, Locke still didn't show up. She had gone through the information on the table several times. She didn't know what Locke had in mind, let alone how long Locke would keep her dry. Could it be that she felt she couldn't face it again?
To her now?
The separation ten years ago came too suddenly, and the changes that occurred when they met again were unexpected by everyone. Both she and Locke needed to face too many things again, and even face the whole world again.
Just as she was thinking this, Locke knocked on the door and came in, sitting on the sofa opposite the desk. He had a slight smell of blood and death, but what was even stronger was a strong sense of vitality.
Although Lian Na's magical power was banned, her consciousness was still very sharp after a long sleep and a full meal.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Why do I have to deal with you?"
"Then what should I do?"
"I said, everything depends on your own choice. The past era is over, welcome to the new world! You have been reading this information for a long time, don't you have any better suggestions?"
As he spoke, Locke thought of that night about half a year ago, when he was sitting behind the desk. He had just experienced the shock of life and death, and the smell of blood in the room had not dissipated. Hua Zhenxing was sitting on this sofa talking to him face to face.
Huazhenxing specially dragged this sofa from another location. Later, Locke did not change its location, and the layout of the living room remained as it was that night.
Now it was his turn to sit across from the desk and look at Lian Na. He had the illusion that Hua Zhenxing was looking at himself.
If Locke had asked such a question when he just came back yesterday, Lian Na might be at a loss. But after so long, Lian Na has calmed down and even had to adapt to this strange environment, and she read it repeatedly
The information left on the table can give an answer.
Lina is not stupid, in fact, on the contrary, she has received the best education since she was a child, and the greatest role of education itself is to train people's thinking and broaden their knowledge. When reading the materials these two days, intentionally or unintentionally,
She was already envisioning several possibilities for the future.
Lian Na was silent for a few minutes, lowering her head as if she didn't dare to look at Locke. Locke was very patient, since he had been silent for so long anyway, so Lian Na didn't say anything and he didn't make a sound, just watching quietly.
Lian Na's long eyelashes were trembling again, and she finally said: "Can you give Frick and Bo En some respect?"
Locke curled his lips slightly as if to sneer. This movement was very small and difficult to detect. Of course Lian Na didn't see it. He said noncommittally: "How to give it?"
Lian Na felt a kind of pressure, which was a sense of power that only a very strong and confident person could have. Locke had indeed changed a lot. He was no longer the young boy who was sunny and energetic, but also innocent and ignorant.
Lian Na said weakly: "I'm sorry for the betrayal of my family, and for the harm and disaster it has brought to you.
Both Frick and Boon are dead, but death cannot redeem all sins. The Fulgan Foundation belongs to you, and they are still obliged to repay everything to you in another way, and so do I!"
