Muyuan Bar, Fangling Pavilion.
All gathered around the long table in the main hall, which was filled with hearty and colourful food.
There is a strong aroma in the air.
Only, no one spoke.
In the quiet space, the only sound I heard was the groaning sound of Sinicui Ze when she used the petal technique to make fragrant red wine at the table.
It wasn't until there was a "bang" that the door opened that the long and difficult silence ended.
A little fat man in a tight wizard robe wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked in from the door. When he came to the long table, Shan, who was sitting on a Ganke, took the lead and said, "Ellen, how is the situation on your side? Is there any news?"
Allen was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I went into the manor and met Asaz."
When mentioning Azaz's name, Cavlin raised her head slightly.
"Azaz is now living in the manor with Lord Barbie." Ellen explained Azaz's situation a little, and then continued to say to Shan: "Azaz told me that Lord Pat has been in retreat for ten days, and has been in seclusion for ten days. Didn't come out in the lab."
Shan frowned: "Now?"
Allen nodded: "When I went, it was still in the laboratory."
A look of disappointment flashed across Shan's face, and she looked back at Leon, who was sitting on the other side, wearing a knight's soft armor: "Don't you have any news from him?"
Leon scratched his hair, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen my brother for more than ten days." He had also been to the Wilderness of Dreams before, but Frode told him that Angel had not been there during this time.
Neither Allen nor Leon had any news from Angel, so Shan could only sigh and look at Nausicaa who was sitting in the main seat: "It seems that we can't wait for Angel."
"It doesn't matter." Nausicaa smiled lightly, picked up the bong on the table, lit the shredded tobacco with the candle, and took a deep breath: "I'm just leaving for a while, it's not a goodbye, tell Angeldo or not. It doesn't matter. If you want to see him, you can see him when I get back."
Shan said in a low voice: "But..."
No one knows when Nausicaa's trip will end. Even, whether it can come back safely is still unknown.
That's why, when Nausicaa was sure that she was going to leave today, Shan specially asked Allen to go to the manor and called Angel. At least everyone can reunite before they part.
Unfortunately, Angel was not there.
"If we have to hold a farewell party every time we part, then it seems that we have nothing else to do in life?" Nausicaa smiled: "And, if this kind of thing is heard by my former crew, They will probably laugh at me."
"As a pirate, I see partings every day, and sometimes... farewells. I'm used to walking alone, but it's a little awkward to be together."
The calmer Nausicaa smiled, but the more uncomfortable it was for San, who was her friend. Angel was just an introduction. She was more worried about her friend's safety after she left, because Shan knew very well how much danger Nausicaa might encounter in the place where Nausicaa went this time. If Angel was here, even if he couldn't persuade Nausicaa to stay, at least he could give her some help.
"Don't worry about me." Nausicaa stood up, walked to Shan's side, and gave her a soft hug: "I'll be back safely."
Shan: "But..."
Nausicaa kissed Shan's forehead: "Don't worry."
Nausicaa's kiss calmed San down. She opened her mouth and saw Nausicaa's determined eyes, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Sairum also stood up at this time and said to Shan: "Your Excellency Asbel, will continue the glory of the King of Blackberries."
After a pause, Sairum looked at Nausicaa and added, "I believe it, in order to strengthen his tone."
Nausicaa nodded to Sairum, "I believe it too."
After a while of silence, Nausicaa: "Originally, I didn't want to alarm anyone and left alone; but since you already know when I'm leaving and have this farewell dinner, I have to participate."
"I've already made an appointment with Reynolds, and there is also a wizard who will transmit asylum. I don't dare to waste time. If Angel can't come, let's eat first, so as not to disappoint Sinetrize's good intentions."
After speaking, Nausicaa took the lead in picking up a glass of rose wine and drinking it.
After Nausicaa started, everyone also started to pick up the food in front of them. The silence at the beginning was also broken, and everyone continued the meal with laughter.
Even Shiliu, who had been sleeping all the time, woke up in a cheerful atmosphere, chatting and laughing with everyone.
Happy times always go by quickly.
When the noon sunshine came in through the gaps in the curtains, the clock in the corner rang, and the treehouse-shaped door above the clock face was pushed open, and a mechanical bird flew out and hovered in the air for two times. Circling, kept telling the time with a metal voice, and finally flew into the tree house and disappeared.
Nausicaa spit out a mouthful of white mist and brushed the strands of hair that fell to her ears: "The time has come, I should go to the teleportation hall in the main city."
The cheerful atmosphere suddenly became silent.
"Don't send me off, I'll be back soon." Nausicaa didn't say any sentimental words, and she didn't say a farewell message from the audience, she put away her bong and walked towards the door.
Nausicaa's figure soon disappeared, and there was only a faint voice in the air: "Don't slack off in the experience of the endless corridor. When I come back, I will catch up with your progress as soon as possible. Maybe even faster than you guys, after all, my return also means that I got what I want..."
Nausicaa left, and the air in the hall became a little silent.
"Nausicaa is a very interesting character." Cavlin, who had been eating, said for the first time, "I think she is right. Instead of worrying about her safety, you should worry about yourself. She is comparable to All of you, it's better to be a wizard."
Cavlin's tone brought some ridicule, but in the current atmosphere, no one refuted it.
Shan held Gan Ke's arm a little dully, and Shiliu's face was rarely a little melancholy.
On the other hand, Sairum's expression was calm: "I believe in her choice. After all, she is Nausicaa."
"I believe it too." Shan sighed a long time and sat down: "It's just parting, it's still a little sad. Moreover, it's a pity that Angel didn't come this time... "
When Zai Shan said this, a rustling sound suddenly entered everyone's ears.
Cavlin was the first to react, she raised her eyebrows: "The gate of the yard was pushed open."
As soon as he finished speaking, a male voice suddenly entered the hall: "Li Zhiqiu, are you there?"
Shiryu, who was already drowsy, opened his eyes ignorantly. With Shan's help, he sat on Gan Ke's back and walked out of the hall.
When they came to the yard, they found a middle-aged teenager wearing skull ornaments, looking lazily.
"Glen, you... why are you here?" Allen looked at the person in surprise.
Glenn ignored Aaron, but fixed his eyes on Shiliu: "Liu Zhiliu, your alchemy customization has been refined, and I sent it to you on a special trip."
While Glenn took out a space soft bag, he muttered, "Secretly tell you, this is made by Lord Pat."
"Lord Pat?" Shan froze for a moment: "You mean, he's already out of the border?"
