Lorenzo sat on the sofa where Seleuco had sat before, picked up her newspaper and started reading the latest news. The air was filled with stale dust mixed with a sour smell, and Lorenzo was like a bad apple that was gradually fermenting in a garbage dump.
"So you're sure you don't want to clean up the house?"
Seleu and Lorenzo switched roles. She sat in front of the workbench, stabbing with the dagger that Lorenzo had customized for her. The wealthy life had not made Seleu forget her past. Now, when she picked up the dagger, she had a familiar feeling.
"I'm the only one living here anyway, so whatever I feel is fine is fine."
Lorenzo said lazily, actually he was just lazy.
It has to be admitted that although Mrs. Van Lud did not occupy a large proportion in his life, her existence had a great impact on Lorenzo, such as his living environment.
Lorenzo followed orders, locked the door of Cork Street and ran to Gallurnaro. When he returned, he was greeted by dusty rooms and food residues in the kitchen infested with insects.
To be honest, the scene at that time disgusted Lorenzo. He tried to clean up the place for a long time, but within a few days he would mess it up again into the current mess.
"I don't know how Mrs. Van Rudd is doing..."
Lorenzo looked at the mess on the ground and said with some nostalgia.
Finally Lorenzo gave up, and the originally exquisite house looked like it had been invaded by homeless people.
"But you are going to the Viking countries. That sounds really far away."
Lorenzo couldn't help but sigh.
The world is big, bigger than anyone can imagine. Even with today's technological innovations, humans have still not completely filled in the world map.
On the yellowed parchment map, there are still many unknown fogs covering the human land. They are like sticky darkness, swallowing up all the light. Every explorer who steps into it will never find the way home.
In Lorenzo's impression, the farthest place was Jiuxia on the other side of the ocean, followed by the Viking countries at the end of the far northern sea.
"Yes, but I am looking forward to it. After all, everyone in this land looks pretty much the same. I am curious about what the country will look like in this bitterly cold winter."
Seleu was actually looking forward to the journey ahead.
"Are you ready for your trip?" Lorenzo asked.
This is not an easy journey. I heard that the seas of the Viking countries are extremely cold, and storms and thunder often pass through them, smashing the ships of the cowards.
"It's not confirmed yet. The war is coming, and I'm sure the King of the Ice Sea is having a headache. Let's wait until he's done with his work."
Seleucia has been communicating with envoys from the Viking countries so far, and she has not met any of the high-ranking officials who truly hold power.
"People who have been to the Viking countries say it's an interesting country, cold and hard, but with beautiful northern lights at night... Have you ever seen the northern lights?"
Lorenzo shook his head. Like Seleucus, he had only heard about it from others.
It is difficult for others to describe the magnificence of the Aurora in words, and Lorenzo racked his brains but could not think of the stunning beauty that people talked about.
"The Viking nations?"
