It seemed that he knew Tust would come to visit, or was waiting for it.
Seeing the visitor in front of the door, the shock on Mrs. Garcia's face flashed for a moment, and then she regained her composure. After adjusting her emotions for a moment, she said to the three Rennes: "Please come in and sit down."
The tone was gentle and sounded friendly.
Renn had no intention of interfering in other people's emotional and private affairs. No matter how Tust dealt with the old man in front of him who had ruined his family, he always respected the old man's decision.
After seeing that there was no one else in the room, Ren had no intention of entering the room.
After not seeing each other for thirty years, these two people must have a lot to talk about, and it is naturally inappropriate to have outsiders.
"We won't go in."
Ren said, grabbing little Carl who was about to follow Tust into the house.
The boy still didn't understand what was happening, so he turned back to look at Ren with confusion.
Garcia nodded slightly, responded with a slightly apologetic expression, and followed Tust into the house without saying much.
... .
The door was open, and Ren and Karl leaned on the guardrail, looking at the light and shadow in the lake.
With his current perception, even if he didn't enter the house, he could still hear what was happening inside.
Listening to the crisp sound of porcelain touching, the lady seemed to have picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Tust.
Then, there was a long silence.
No conversation was heard for a long time, and the two fell into silence as they sat on their chairs.
Karl on the side was a little curious and wanted to ask something, but Ren made a "shh" gesture.
Probably because it had just rained, the black mist in the air was very light.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight penetrated the thin clouds like strands of gold, shining on the clear lake, reflecting the trees and flowers on the shore like a mirror. The fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the beautiful curved rainbow. With the breeze blowing on his face, Ren leaned on the fence by the lake and felt the relief of thousands of pores opening.
There was absolutely no movement in the room.
If Renn hadn't sensed the heartbeats of the two of them, he would have thought that no one was in the room.
I thought I would hear what happened that year, but I didn't expect that Mr. Tust and Mrs. Garcia didn't say a word.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Then I heard someone getting up, and the heavy footsteps were of course Mr. Tust.
Renn was surprised. He was leaving now? Say nothing
Renn thought the old man would ask some questions, such as:
Did she have any difficulties in doing that
Did she poison her
Why jump into the lake
Why are you alive again
Why.
But he didn't say a word.
Mrs. Garcia didn't say a word in defense.
Renn still couldn't understand the magnanimity and ease with which people of their age treated the past. I don’t know what kind of emotional entanglement there was between the two back then.
But he knew that the old man cared about this "girl" very much.
Thinking about it, Tust probably didn't come here to find some ideas after revenge.
One look at her and he already had all the answers.
Renn watched Mr. Tust walk to the door and asked, "Grandpa Tust, are we leaving?"
"Um."
Tust nodded sadly, glancing at the stained glass window from the corner of his eye, as if he wanted to look back at the person in the room, but in the end he didn't take another look.
The violets hanging in the iron bucket under the window sill bloom year by year, reminding him of the girl who only loved purple.
But that was thirty years ago.
He sighed slightly.
When a person lives his whole life, he does not seek to choose one person to die in his old age, but he seeks to love without regrets throughout his life.
Tust devoted almost all his love for life to steam technology, and that was the only time in his life that he became emotional.
Today, my wish came true.
... ..
Tust left without looking back. Looking at the desolate back, Renn felt something in his heart.
He didn't know what had changed in the old man's heart, but he seemed to see a mountain that was getting taller and taller. With every step he took, the momentum got higher and higher, soaring into the sky.
This seemed to be completely different from the Tust he had been before entering the house.
One keeps a low profile and the other shows his sharp edge.
Seeing this, Ren raised the corner of his mouth slightly and muttered in his heart, "The old man is going to get serious these days."
I almost forgot, today... I have to make a fuss with the president of the Royal Academy.
... ..
Just as Ren and the others left the hut, a group of guys who heard the news rushed over.
Before the people arrived, the sound arrived first.
"Damn bastards! What did you do to my mother!"
The sharp scolding sounded familiar to Ren. When he took a closer look, he saw that the menacing and gorgeous woman was none other than President Phoebe of the "Sunflower Merchant Association". Who was she
However, before she could rush over, she was stopped by the lakeside by the guards brought by Ren.
People on both sides took out their weapons and looked like they were about to fight.
Phoebe was stopped and screamed angrily at the guards of Black Dragon City: "How dare you do it?! This is the Imperial Capital of Omar, not the countryside of Black Dragon City! I guarantee that you will not lay a finger on me. Boss, no one can come back alive!"
Phoebe's husband is from the Lopez family, a descendant of the queen, and is a top dignitary in the imperial capital. She didn't just say this out of nowhere, she actually had the ability.
It is indeed unwise for outsiders to dare to provoke the Lopez family in the imperial capital.
Unfortunately, it was Ren who met him.
"Oh, Mrs. Phoebe is so angry."
Renn glanced at her with a sneer and waved his hand to signal the guards not to stop him.
This Phoebe can be regarded as an "old acquaintance" whom she has met several times. After all, her son and daughter died in her own hands.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
When Phoebe saw Ren, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
However, with this cold look from him, surprisingly, the arrogance in Phoebe was instantly extinguished.
Even the guards she brought did not make her feel the slightest sense of security.
If it were anyone else, she really wouldn't be afraid. This emperor dares to do something to him, and he will definitely not be able to live with it.
But the man in front of me is a madman who really dares to take action!
This look was all too familiar to her. The first time was at the "Plague Base". This look caused her daughter to be killed in front of her. The second time was at the desert ruins. If her son hadn't taken action, she wouldn't have been able to escape.
She almost died at the hands of this man several times, which left her with no courage to act again.
Phoebe mustered up her courage and said in a trembling voice: "You... what did you do to my mother?!"
"nothing."
Renn didn't pay much attention to her, after all, they didn't do anything to Mrs. Garcia.
The three of them passed by Mrs. Phoebe without stopping.
And this is just a few breaths of time.
In the distance, the clatter of armors sounded, and a large group of heavily armored knights also surrounded "Tingyu Lake". Looking at the logos on their shields, they were clearly soldiers from the Imperial City Public Security Department.
As soon as this group of heavily armored knights arrived, they immediately showed their bad intentions and pointed their muskets at Ren and the guards.
Phoebe also felt emboldened and shouted: "Stop!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, a sneer overflowed from the corner of Ren's mouth. He looked back at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, Mrs. Phoebe still wants to keep us?"
Although killing people in the Omar Capital would cause trouble, it didn't mean that he didn't dare to kill people.
After a pause, he made no secret of his murderous intent and said with narrowed eyes: "Also, I hate it when people point guns at me..."
He can kill the security team in front of him, which is the highest level of the third level of extraordinary people.
If we really want to take action, this woman will die first.
"you... "
Phoebe's face turned pale at the sight. From this distance, it seemed as if someone had strangled her throat, making it difficult to breathe.
But she didn't forget the purpose of her coming.
If her mother was really hurt, even if it meant death, she would make these guys pay the price.
What's more, there is also my daughter's hatred!
Just when she mustered up the courage to order the city guards to arrest someone, suddenly, a person walked out of the lakeside hut and whispered softly: "Phoebe, let them leave."
That person is naturally the Elma Garcia.
But what surprised Ren was that Mrs. Garcia walked out of the house again with a completely different demeanor than when she saw her just now. She seemed to have aged ten years, from a radiant middle-aged beauty to a swarthy face.
It was as if the rainbow had turned into black smoke.
"Mother!"
Phoebe exclaimed and trotted over.
Seeing her dejected appearance, she was filled with disbelief and was about to ask something.
Mrs. Garcia shook her head, interrupted him, and said: "No, I'm fine... let them leave."
As she said that, she looked at the figure who didn't look back, her eyes flashing with bitterness.
Tust still didn't look back.
Renn only glanced at it.
The three ignored the security team and left "Tingyu Lake" with their guards.
... ..
In the tin house.
Phoebe looked at her mother's sudden aging look and was very worried.
However, she also knew the purpose of Renne's group coming.
That is a major matter related to the fate of the family.
She asked anxiously: "Mother, is that guy here to ask you to testify against the dean? You must not agree, otherwise our family will definitely be fatally affected..."
Mrs. Garcia's eyes were a little wandering, looking at the light and shadow outside the window, as if she had lost focus.
After hearing what her daughter said, she said calmly: "No. He just came to say goodbye to me."
As she spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if the knots in her heart for many years had been dispelled, and said with relief: "I didn't have time to say goodbye to him at the beginning, but today I finally have closure."
This is the last time they see each other in this life, and it can be considered the beginning and the end.
Seeing that he was still alive and still had that sharp light in his eyes, Garcia suddenly recalled the time when they were young.
He, himself, and life at that time were really beautiful.
It would be nice if those things didn't exist.
Hearing this, Phoebe looked shocked: "They... aren't they here because of what happened back then?"
"How can I let go after being so wronged..."
Mrs. Garcia shook her head, looked far away, and said: "He came to see me not because he wanted me to prove anything. His temper is still the same as before. He will never trouble others if he can do things by himself... . ”
"That... "
Phoebe was a little confused.
But she also noticed that her mother was in a terrible state, and her whole body seemed lifeless, like the ashes of vegetation that had gradually cooled down in the early morning.
She comforted: "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself. I think you did the right thing about what happened back then. If it were me, I would sacrifice myself for the sake of my family."
Mrs. Garcia shook her head and said: "What happened back then, no matter what... was all my fault. I have devoted most of my life to the family, and there is nothing to say. But I also loved him."
After a pause, she said again: "Phoebe, promise mother that no matter what, you won't conflict with them again, okay?"
Phoebe looked unwilling: "But... the guy named Ren next to him killed your granddaughter!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Garcia looked very complicated and said: "You don't understand him. Since he will come back, he must be absolutely sure."
After a pause, tears flashed in her eyes, and then she added: "This time, I'm afraid it will cause an earth-shaking commotion."
... ..
Renn and his party had no intention of leaving the college, but went directly to the teaching department of the college.
The guards from the Public Security Department broke into the Royal Academy of Sciences with great commotion, and they had already attracted a large number of students to watch the excitement.
As soon as the greeting card sent by Ren En was spread, it spread throughout the entire academy at an astonishing speed.
"You have heard that there is someone from the 'Black Dragon Academy' who wants to come and communicate with our academy. He was very loud and said that he wanted to exchange mechanical technology with Dean Brendan."
"Black Dragon Academy? Which territory's mechanical academy is this? Haha, do you really think that cats and dogs can communicate with Dean Brendan?"
"Who are those guys, and they are so loud?"
"I'm not sure... I heard that the city lord of Black Dragon City personally sent the greeting card. But the name on the greeting card that participated in the exchange was a guy named 'Tust Fuenst'."
"Tust? I've never heard of him. If you dare to speak so loudly, he must be at least a 'mechanical master', right? But apart from our Omar, only Sid has a few masters, but I have never heard of this Tust." Name"
"Who knows..."
"..."
The young students have never heard of Tust's name, but the old professors who have been in the college for decades have more or less impressions of him.
Things were so big back then, and when they heard that name, they all vaguely guessed that things were not that simple.
... ..
Originally, exchanges between colleges were normal.
However, in the field of machinery, the Royal Academy of Omar has a dominant position.
Generally speaking, it was the mechanical academies of other territories that came to "ask for advice" from their Royal Academy of Sciences, rather than real communication.
After all, Omar represents the top level of steam technology in the world.
No other mechanical school can communicate with it on an equal footing.
It's top notch.
Everything else is second rate!
The Royal Academy of Omar is the birthplace of steam machinery. It is a mechanical holy land that gathers the largest number of high-level mechanics and the most advanced equipment and technology in the world.
Even the three "Mechanical Grand Masters" who are the only three in the world are all in the Austrian Royal Academy of Sciences.
Even if the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Cid Empire came, they would at most send a Grand Master to give him a courtesy reception. No one was qualified to truly "communicate" with the Grand Master.
But Black Dragon City's invitation was very "arrogant". He asked to communicate with Dean Brendan by name, but he didn't even directly say that he wanted to "challenge".
Therefore, after hearing the news, the students and faculty of the college also put down what they were doing and rushed towards the "Academic Exchange Hall".
They don't want to see any exchange, but they want to see how those arrogant guys "humiliate themselves"!
