game over.

Su Wen leaned on the headrest of the gaming chair.

at this time.

It was already the fourth day of his visit to the deep-sea front, and the time was approaching dusk in the afternoon.

In the past few days, Su Wen would take time to reply to messages from Jiang Menghan and others in the Dawn Council during each game break.

It is now early December, five years after the origin.

The temperature dropped completely.

Entering the embrace of winter.

Because there is no water heating.

He closed the gap in the window that had been opened for ventilation before plugging in the electric heater and making a cup of hot coffee.

Wrapped in the rich aroma of hot coffee.

Su Wen sat at the table and turned on his mobile phone leisurely.

One message after another emerged.

The top one is mentioned from the Night Watch [Great Wall of Despair] forum:

[An increase in the intensity of the ‘La Niña’ phenomenon was observed.

Sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean have continued to experience a large-scale abnormal cooling.

Due to the slowdown of ocean currents around the middle of the earth, the 'Deep Sea Relics' scientific research project has entered the best vacuum period of the year.]

obviously.

Without the advance arrangements of the Tide Sect.

Although it is due to the sudden La Niña phenomenon.

The weather in Binhai Old Town was so cold because it was close to the sea, so he had to pay extra for electricity to turn on the electric heater.

But the ‘Deep Sea Ruins’ scientific research plan will proceed very smoothly.

However, because Su Wen already knew that the upcoming future would not be as smooth as imagined.

He hugged the hot coffee cup and shrugged:

"It's better to be warmer. At least it can save me some electricity bills."

then.

The handsome and laid-back Chairman of the Dawn Council clicked on the group chat message.

That's the photo Elvis sent.

In the photo:

He and his wife had already taken the train to France.

The watermark on the photo clearly identifies:

That was the destination he had agreed to go to:

‘Hometown of Knights and Lavender’ Provence

now.

December in the Northern Hemisphere has been completely enveloped in winter.

Although southeastern France is probably not bathed in silver snowflakes like Moscow.

But in all kinds of news on Twitter.

Tourist pictorials belonging to Northern or Western Europe have already put on various types of warm down jackets and knitted cotton hats:

Among the photos:

Elvis and his wife Karin walked through the ecological experimental site of the Aurora Organization in Provence.

over there.

The lavender, which should have been in full bloom from August to September, withered in December, still blooms brilliantly in the wind.

Large areas of pale purple cover the planting area of ​​the ecological experimental mountainous area.

It's as if spring has arrived early.

At this time, the slightly spicy fragrance mixed with the fragrance of scorched grass flows through the mountains and wild fields.

Climbing over the white limestone, the background of the picture reflects the snow-capped Mount Ventoux in the distance, even in summer.

See this scene.

Su Wen typed out the reply gently:

"It seems that Noah and the others kept their promise.

It really allows you to see the sea of ​​lavender flowers blooming in Provence in winter.”

Princess Angelia also posted a cute picture of "Envy (???)".

She expressed her inner feelings:

"really beautiful.

Mr. Lai Yin, I want to see it too."

I saw her say that.

Su Wen smiled:

"Just wait until I have the chance. I will tell you in advance then."

then.

Elvis also responded:

"Although the executive members of the Aurora Organization took me to drink wine on the return train.

But Mr. Herron-Campbell is indeed an excellent nobleman.

He offered Caitlin and me a place to visit the University of Paris Diderot to conduct a botanical ecological experiment in Provence.

at the same time.

They also provided us with low-priced housing.

In fact, all my savings have been spent long ago to save Kailin.

Fielding didn’t pay a penny for the treatment, and even the travel expenses were sponsored by him.”

Speaking of which.

Elvis, who often worked hard, felt a little sorry.

certainly.

After all, Fielding was also the heir to the Grand Duke. His family was rich, so he naturally wouldn't care about this.

Su Wen took a sip of the pure-smelling Blue Mountain coffee and asked:

"so.

Have you decided on the next path?"

"Well, I will join the Aurora Organization as a cooperative employee and take on work similar to that of a bounty hunter.

There is no way, now I am not only carrying myself.

But come to Yin first if you need anything.

Here I am.

It will always be the first execution sequence."

now.

Elvis stands next to a lush lavender field at Diderot University in Paris.

Watching such pure purple blooming in the distance in the high and low fields.

The broken sadness that once hid in the deepest part of his heart.

Perhaps it has already disappeared.

But for a zero-sum game.

Elvis did not choose to let go of his hatred.

Looking at Kailin in the distance walking toward her in long clothes and carrying a picnic box.

In order not to worry his wife, he quietly closed the letter Fielding sent him from Gdansk and stuffed it into his right pocket.

In it, he wrote about the hidden chess game that zero-sum game laid in the Battle of the Parthenon.
