82. Sailing

[Exorcist Lu Li will return to the Main Continent soon]

Wow

The newspaper with bold fonts was put down by the palm of the hand.

While shaking the rippling coffee cup, a breeze blew by and the newspaper was rolled out of the window.

The hand that was stretched out in vain caught the air, and the air current carried the newspaper flying higher and higher.

Woo woo

The steam train spewed thick smoke, dragging its carriages farther and farther along the railway.

The gloomy clouds seemed to be about to rain at any time. The newspaper passed over the woods and was carried into the Yanmian factory by the wind.

The toxic smoke in the chimneys is like ocean waves day and night. The floating newspapers are blown high by the chimneys in the industrial area, almost getting into the clouds formed by the smoke, looming like seagulls flying towards the distant city.

In a crowded street, a little boy wearing patchwork linen clothes looked up at a newspaper, calling for his companions to run under the newspaper, avoiding pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages and steam cars. Their disappointed eyes fell on the chimney of a residential building.

superior.

The rain last night made the city wet. The newspapers stuck to the chimneys, became wet and transparent, and could no longer fly.

Meow

A dirty wild cat ran across the eaves.

The children who found something new ran after it with joy.

Newspapers lay quietly at the mouth of the chimney and under the eaves, while a woman carrying a basket full of coal climbed up the steps.

Bang.

The wooden door was closed, and a corner of the newspaper blocking the chimney was lifted.

It lay quietly in the early morning, until the smoke came out from under the chimney, the moisture was like fading tide, and the heat wave made the newspaper dry again.

The newspapers stuck to the chimney were not blown away, and thick smoke accumulated in the flue.

A wooden ladder went up to the eaves, and a young head popped out.

The boy who climbed the roof carefully came to the chimney, reached out and peeled off the newspaper and threw it away.

The thick smoke was smoothly discharged from the flue, and a sea breeze from the bay swept away the discarded newspaper, carrying it like a wave and flying away into the distance.

The newspaper drifted into a deserted, run-down neighborhood and was carried by the wind into dark alleys.

squeak

Rats were scurrying around in the alleys. A silhouette squatted in the alley that exuded a stench. The fluttering newspaper made the silhouette raise its head, reach out and grab the newspaper, wiping its fingertips as it flew by.

The newspapers flew out of the alley and quickly left this slum-like neighborhood.

It floats in the air, and the buildings on the street below gradually become new and beautiful, the clothes of pedestrians are clean and tidy, and soothing and beautiful music is played in the windows.

The newspaper almost reached the coastline. Without the help of the wind, it fell on the steam car parked on the roadside, not far away was the bustling port.

The driver in a tuxedo quickly tore open the newspaper and found fingerprints on the glossy car body. He was about to wipe it off when footsteps came from the steps behind him.

The driver quickly put on white gloves and the newspaper floated away from the ground.

The sea breeze on the shoreline was chaotic, and the newspaper only floated a short distance before falling again, covering a polished shoe upper and calf.

The man bent down and picked up the newspaper, carrying it into a building.



A brown-haired man wearing a white shirt and a tie loosely wrapped around his neck stood in front of the curved window.

Here you can have an unobstructed view of the entire coast.

Knock knock knock

A servant's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Box from the Maritime Safety Administration has arrived."

"Come in." The brown-haired man turned around.

"Is it that exorcist again?" His eyes fell on the newspaper in the hand of Boxer who came in. "These newspapers have been discussing it for almost a week, and we haven't discussed enough yet?"

"What makes people like to watch, if there is no profit to be made, they will not pay out of their own pockets."

Box shook the newspaper and let him see the black and white photo printed on the front page: "Look, more handsome than a theater actor, more elegant than a nobleman, the noble exorcist still comes from the old days that people miss. He

It’s almost like the protagonist of the world.”

"The protagonist of this world is not human."

The brown-haired man shook his head, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"What did it say?"

"You didn't buy it?"

"I didn't buy what you got."

"I didn't buy this one either." Box said casually, opening the newspaper and reading: "The Exorcist Lu Li will return to the Main Continent soon, and his first stop is expected to be Weiner Freeze Port. Let me see...

…The Daily News? They’re slow enough.”

"Do you have any updates?"

"My source told me that the exorcist appeared at Storm Point last night and caused quite a stir."

"Cape Storm? I don't remember anything there."

"But it's a deepwater port."

"You mean..." The brown-haired man paused: "He's almost there?"

"It's not that fast. There's a strait in the middle. And the one who picked him up was a weird one."

"What? What does 'the one who picked him up was a weirdo' mean?"

"Everyone saw him boarding a weird body, but I don't know the details." Box shrugged.

It's boring to play things that have no beginning or end. The brown-haired man motioned for Box to sit across from him: "Let's get down to business."

Box folded the newspaper and put it on the table, and was about to say something.

The rapid tolling of church bells suddenly echoed over the port.

The two men in the office looked at each other, and the rapid ringing of the bell had only one meaning.

Strange invasion.



All ships staying in the harbor were towed away.

The battleship protected the ice-free port of Vina, turned sideways, and aimed all its guns at the dilapidated ship approaching from the bay.

This is no ordinary cannonball. Everything from the cannon body to the cannonball is engraved with demon-killing runes. It can destroy a monster as easily as it destroys a house.

Battleships and cannons are the foundation of the ice-free port of Wiener

Amid the cheers of people in the distance, the flagship of the naval fleet, the Hercules Titan, slowly sailed out from the ship repair yard. Its giant shape and thirty-six enchanted cannons on one side are the backbone of the ice-free port of Vina.

As if in response, a rusty ship appeared in people's sight in the distance and sounded its distant ship's whistle, announcing its arrival in the ice-free port of Wiener.

The offshore fleet is ready, and the strange battle is about to begin.

"Hold the fire! Everyone!"

The second officer of the Hagues Giant suddenly ran onto the deck and shouted to the flagman on the watch tower: "Give the order, all ships will open fire!"

The flag bearer waved a flag prohibiting gunfire.

The second officer came to the front of the deck, picked up the telescope handed to him by his assistant and zoomed closer to the ship.

He vaguely saw the figure on the deck opposite.

"Is it him..." the second officer trembled with excitement.

Things became strange. The sailors on the ship first received instructions not to fire cannons, and then were ordered to hang up colorful ribbons. The Hagues Giant even asked dozens of sailors to clear the deck as quickly as possible.

But soon, they heard some news, such as who was on board that strange, dilapidated, rusty ship.

The confrontation turned into a grand reception, except for the shells still in the barrels.

A young officer wearing a navy uniform was waiting at the port, asking expectantly: "Who is your Excellency?"

The figure stepping onto the port raised his black eyes.

"Exorcist, Lu Li."
