Finally, Lorenzo boarded the departing train under the gaze of Oscar and Seleu. The whistle sounded, the steam surged, and the heavy carriage was dragged little by little with the mechanical engagement, until it ran wildly on the rails like a wild beast.
The wind, carrying fine dust, poured in through the gaps in the window, hitting Lorenzo's cheek lightly or heavily.
Lorenzo calmed down for a rare moment, looking at the steel city that was getting farther and farther away. For a moment, he had many unspeakable emotions.
How long has it been since I left Jiudunling
Unconsciously, the city became Lorenzo's fortress and also his prison.
He hummed a familiar melody, enjoying this pretty good time. The sunlight came in, and Lorenzo leaned against the guitar case, with a hint of confusion in his gray-blue eyes. At this moment, he really had the temperament of an artist.
But the melancholy look of the young man did not last long. Lorenzo looked at the carriage he was in. This was a luxurious compartment for only Lorenzo. The seat was wide enough for Lorenzo to lie down and sleep. There was wine in the cupboard next to it. The glasses collided with each other due to the shaking of the carriage, making crisp sounds.
This time Lorenzo had an official background and was considered an imperial envoy, so the treatment he deserved also increased dramatically.
Lorenzo still remembered the first time he went to Gaulonaro to look for Seleucia. He was just like a tramp and had to do everything by himself. The money for the return ticket was snatched from passers-by by Lorenzo.
Fortunately, Seleu was still relatively short at that time, although he is not very tall now. In short, it was at that time that Lorenzo learned about the rule that children can ride free on trains.
Thanks to this rule, it saved a potential passerby who might have been robbed by Lorenzo.
He casually picked up a bottle of wine. It was still a long time before the port of Rendonna, so Lorenzo used his strong teeth to bite open the bottle and started to drink it with one hand.
This can be said to be a carefree life, but just as the life was beginning, the door of the carriage was pushed open.
"Yo! Shrike! Want a bottle?"
Lorenzo was not surprised by Shrike's arrival. Arthur and others had reminded him before. Judging from Shrike's serious expression, the next step was to introduce the detailed work flow.
He is a serious guy, and as a gang boss he also has the courage of a boss. It can be said that Arthur has always trained Shrike as his successor. Compared with the other unreliable guys, Shrike is always the most trustworthy one.
"Before we arrive at the port of Rendona, let's take care of these things first... You might be very busy."
Shrike was too lazy to complain about Lorenzo's casual attitude. He wouldn't listen anyway, so he might as well finish the task at hand.
"There were some unexpected problems with this job, Lorenzo."
"What's the problem?"
Lorenzo immediately stood up and asked, he felt something was wrong.
He didn't tell me earlier or later, but just told me after I set out. Lorenzo stared at the Shrike, and the Shrike looked at him without any avoidance, with an expression that seemed to say "I'm just an employee. This has nothing to do with me."
