Angel looked out suspiciously. It was the first time he heard such a loud horn sound since he came to Haiyue City. Is there an emergency
The bookstore owner also walked to the window at this time, squeezed his well-groomed mustache, and squinted at Vichy Harbor: "Oh? It turns out that a merchant ship from the outer continent has arrived. Hehe, it seems that the sea route of the Baleen Sea has been completely completed. It's thawed, and when this freighter is finished unloading, it will be lively."
Speaking of which, the shop owner instructed his staff to rush to Vichy Harbor to guard it. He is not only a bookstore in the city. If you want to get a more refined supply, it depends on your ability.
"The sea route of the Baleen Sea is open? Then... the ship from the Fan Continent is coming? Or, it has already arrived." Angel silently looked into the distance, with a hint of hope in his heart, and a little sentimental.
After a while, Angel had a smile on his face again, put away unnecessary thoughts, and flipped through the collection of books in the box.
What made Angel raise his eyebrows was that most of the books in the three boxes were rare leather scrolls. Although the texture of the vellum paper used is extremely poor, after all, the mainstream rare leather scrolls are hidden in noble families, and the vellum paper made by the folks is almost normal.
The owner of the store packed all the books tightly, as he said, without worrying about mildew. Angel saw that it was still early, so he simply sat down and read one by one.
The sand of time is always dripping, when the floating clouds in the sea and the sky are dyed red, the gray seagulls return to the reefs, and the twilight shines on the entire Haiyue City. Angel just stood up, patted the fine dust on his trouser legs, then pointed to the wooden box on one side, and said to the shop owner, "Please help me deliver the book in this box to the Glory Crown of the Bounty Guild."
The most luxurious hotel in the entire North Shore is none other than the Crown of Glory. How could the shop owner have not heard of it, and immediately ordered the man to carry the box and follow Angel.
The books themselves are expensive, and this time Angel bought so much, which cost a full 30 gold coins, which is almost equal to the income of a family of four for ten years. Angel himself felt pain in his flesh, but he just thought that books were equivalent to knowledge, and that knowledge could be turned into money, and he was relieved... But he also knew that this was an excuse for self-comfort.
Along the way, Angel obviously felt the excitement of the people around him, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces. The smoothness of the Baleen Sea officially started a good sign for shipping this year.
When we got back to the hotel, the sun just happened to fall completely from the end of the sea. There is still a ray of redness on the coastline, and Haiyue City has fallen into the curtain of night.
Before Angel entered the door, he saw the door directly opposite open, and the brothers and sisters Moro and Allen walked towards him.
"I just received the news that the freighter from Fan Continent has arrived at the Haiyue Gorge and will arrive at the port of Vichy tomorrow morning. After you have sorted out the things you want to take away tonight, we will board the ship at noon tomorrow." Moruo looked at He glanced at the bookstore clerk who was beside Angel, looked at the whole box of books, and said with a smile: "You are prepared, you can buy some books. We are going to stay on the boat for nearly half a year, and we can also read books on the road. to pass the time."
After Moruo finished speaking, he said to the two grandchildren beside him: "You guys also go back and pack your luggage. Starting from tomorrow, the easy life will say goodbye to you."
The bright moonlight gently soothed the gradually quiet Haiyue City. Angel stood in front of the terrace, looking to the south, his thoughts turned back and forth, and in the end he just shook his head and said goodbye to the worry-free past.
The night bird pierced the sky, and Vichy Harbour was busy all day, and finally, after midnight, it was completely quiet.
The quiet port was dark, with only three or two oil lamps that were about to burn out on a few wooden pillars.
At this time, from a small boat in the corner, a dark shadow suddenly passed through the faint light, and through the flashing light, it could be seen that it was a man in black who was completely covered.
The man in black ran quickly, and soon left the port of Vichy. He walked all the way to the road without lights, and with the moonlight, he could see a pair of green eyes, and other than that, he had no other features.
The man in black is like a lone wolf running at night, silent, without a trace of smoke, but with a speed comparable to that of a cheetah.
Just when the man in black ran to the central block of Haiyue City, he suddenly made a 'huh' and stopped his galloping pace.
That soft whistle, with a pleasant frequency, was clearly a female voice!
"Strange, why do you feel the breath of a ghost? Could it be that King Guman and the people in the barbaric cave reached an agreement?" The black-clothed woman had a hint of fear in her eyes. If it was really a ghost, she would be doomed as long as they met: "Damn, it's just a broken hat, and it has chased me for two whole years! ... Does that crown have other special features besides the symbol of imperial power?"
The black-clothed woman didn't dare to think too much at the moment, she looked in the direction of the phantom aura, her body was full of excitement, and she walked away without looking back.
The direction she was looking was exactly where the Bounty Guild was.
Under the soft moonlight, Angel closed his eyes in the dream, and scratched his hands behind his back involuntarily. The expression in his sleep was painful.
No one saw it, a green pattern slowly spread out from a small point near the butterfly bone on Angel's back, like a vine, extending little by little...
Angel was awakened by Moore's knock on the door.
With a trace of exhaustion, Angel opened the door and saw Moro in black robes, as well as the neatly dressed Alan brothers and sisters behind him.
Angel was stunned for a moment, why did he get up so early
The next second Irene's answer answered his doubts: "Brother Pat, we have already eaten lunch, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Have lunch? Angel's mind was in a trance for a while. If he remembered correctly, Moro said yesterday that he was going to board the ship at noon today
A flash of embarrassment flashed on Angel's face, his mind turned, and he coughed twice and said, "I'm sorry, it was too late to pack up last night, so... you wait a moment, I'll come out right away."
After Angel finished speaking, he closed the door before they could react.
Looking at the closed door, Moro didn't say anything. Irene, who had a puzzled look on her face, walked downstairs with Alan who didn't care.
Looking at the busy scene outside the window, Angel realized that he had really overslept, and he hurriedly cleaned his face before he could ponder why.
It was not until the time when he was dressed and asked the waiter to carry his luggage and leave, that Angel had some doubtful thoughts.
Yesterday, he still slept at normal time, but why was he not woken up until the third day of the sun? For Angel, who has always valued time very seriously, this is a unique thing.
Angel thought for a long time, but vaguely felt that he slept poorly last night. I always feel itchy on my back, like ants crawling in the blood vessels under the skin, with a terrifying itch and an indescribable burning pain.
Sleeping for a long time and not waking up, shouldn't it be related to this
Angel subconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched his back, without the slightest sense of abnormality.
Is it an illusion
Until meeting with Moro and others, Angel did not come to a conclusion, so he had to give up and attribute everything to mental exhaustion.
