At five o'clock in the afternoon, the tired Morses finally returned to his room. The sudden excitement had gradually faded, and he also began to think about some problems.
"The old man from twelve years ago must have been a transcendent, right? That's why I was entrusted to him by my father. And what the old man has been unwilling to tell me is probably my father's status as a transcendent, right?" Moses said on the side
Thinking about it, I picked up the book that was thrown on the bed last night.
His name is written on the cover of the book.
"Morse Crevi..." Morse muttered softly. In his memory, his father never mentioned his surname, and the surname Crevi came from Krabi.
"In my memory, my father took me on the run for a long time, and he was hiding from something. The force that could hunt down my father in the empire for so long..." A name gradually emerged in the heart of Morses. In this regard, he once said
There was some speculation, but after learning about the existence of transcendental beings today, this conclusion is even more reliable.
"Is it possible that what my father faced was the empire?" Morses put the book on the table aside and looked at the window.
The sky is already getting a little dark, and the autumn night has come very early.
"The old man said you were refusing to let me know anything just to protect me..." Morse suddenly spoke and said to the window.
After that, Morsis looked out the window in silence, watching the night gradually swallow up everything.
After a while, Morse stood up, lit the kerosene lamp on the side, held it in his hand, and walked to the window.
It was so dark that he could only see his own face in the window.
"It's been twelve years, and I'm no longer that confused little boy. I won't be afraid anymore, no matter what you hide from me." After that, Morses closed his eyes, and the dream played out again in his mind.
The end of.
That was a knight's swan song on a rainy night...
…
"It's going to rain. We have to go back quickly..." Lal was walking quickly on the street.
"It's really embarrassing to be caught by those guys selling tickets. Fortunately, Morses didn't come." Lal rubbed his arms and said to himself. He was forced to stay in the circus because he was caught climbing over the fence.
It took me an entire afternoon to move the props.
It was getting late, there were only a few lights left on the street, it was quiet and there was no one around.
"God bless me, I will never climb over the fence secretly again..." Lal walked nervously, praying quietly as he walked.
Finally, after walking that damn night road, Lal saw the orphanage not far away, his home...
"Child, wait a minute." Suddenly, a gentle voice came, and at the same time, a hand patted Lar's shoulder without warning.
"Ah!" Lal screamed and subconsciously wanted to run, but found that his legs were a little weak.
"You...you are?" After a few seconds, Lal realized that the person behind him was actually a person, not a ghost.
He turned his head and looked at the gentleman who suddenly appeared.
He wore a top hat, a smiling face, a goatee, a black tasok suit, and a golden cane.
No matter how you look at it, this is not a person who should appear on the edge of the slums at this time.
"I came to visit a gentleman named Krabi Crevi." The gentleman glanced at the orphanage in the distance and stated his purpose.
"Are you here to visit the dean?" Lar asked in surprise.
Hearing this, the gentleman raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied, "Yes, can you please take me to see him?"
"Okay, sir, I'm happy to help you." Lal thought that the other person was a friend of Krabi, so he was no longer restrained and said with a smile, "It's so late, what you want to do with the dean must be very important, right?
?”
When the gentleman heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's a very important thing..."
…
In the dean's office, behind the huge desk, Krabi was reading the book that had made Morsis extremely curious during the day.
"...The Momoa Empire collapsed as quickly as it was established. Qiming's plan was almost perfect. The three false gods were eliminated, and the ancestors also died in the ancient continent due to exhaustion..." Krabei looked serious.
Just as he was about to turn to the next page, his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Dean? There is a gentleman who wants to see you. He should be your friend." Lar's voice came from outside the door. After a few seconds, he added in a low voice, "Well, I guessed the friend part...
"
Krabi frowned in confusion. In his memory, it seemed that no friend would come to his door at such a time.
"Where is he?" Krabi asked loudly.
"In the reception room downstairs." Lar quickly replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Krabi opened the door and walked out with a serious expression on his face.
"You can go back and rest, Lar."
Krabi gave a casual instruction and walked downstairs thoughtfully.
Lal looked at Krabi's back, scratched the back of his head in confusion, and said to himself, "Isn't the dean happy to hear that a friend came to see him?"
Lar shrugged, turned around, and walked towards the stairs.
…
Krabi stood in front of the door of the reception room. During the day, he defeated Trey here with his momentum, but at this moment, he was hesitant.
After adjusting his mood and forcing himself not to think about the worst-case scenarios, he opened the door.
The gentleman wearing the top hat was standing quietly in front of the window, seemingly leisurely, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the gentleman turned around, smiled at Krabi, and said, "You are Mr. Krabi Creevey, right?"
"It's me..." Krabi approached the sofa, sat in front of the gentleman, and continued, "Who are you and why did you come to me so late?"
The gentleman turned around, took off his top hat and put it on his chest, bowed slightly and said, "Lennon Sivens, I was Mr. Perval's aide-de-camp."
Krabi's pupils dilated slightly at that moment, but soon returned to their original state. He replied in a calm tone, "I'm sorry, I don't know the gentleman you are talking about."
Lennon smiled and shook his head, put his top hat on the table and sat down.
"You don't have to be like this. Trust me, no one is watching us." Lennon looked at Krabi and said in a brisk tone, "As an assassin, I am sure of this."
When he heard the word "assassin," Krabi's expression changed again, but he still didn't say anything.
"Sigh...I can understand, then please listen to my story." Seeing that the other party did not answer, Lennon continued, "Twelve years ago, those guys in the empire got the news of the spies and raided
Our headquarters.
"That night, the entire top management of the organization was almost wiped out. I fought my way out and saved my life...
"A few years ago, I disguised myself as a businessman, returned to my former headquarters, and used the assassin's supernatural ability to find a letter from Mr. Pervar.
"The letter mentioned the city of Hull and the name Krabi Crevi. This is also the reason why I found this place."
After listening to Lennon's words, Crabb's eyes were quite complicated. After a long silence, he finally said, "Pervar is dead. If you read up on the historical events of Hull City, you should know about the famous siege and suppression."
…”
Krabi's voice was a little hoarse, as if he didn't want to recall that past event.
"If you are here to look for the things that Perval left behind for the 'Falling Wasteland', then you may be disappointed." After that, Krabe added.
Lennon frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said, "I found out about you from the gangster in the tavern this afternoon. I didn't expect that you are still a scholar."
"Why do you say this suddenly?" Krabe asked with some confusion.
"The letter I found contains a description of you. I think you should be the scholar who helped us draw the defensive circle. I'm just surprised that you haven't tried to be promoted twelve years later." Lie.
Nong said carefully, and there was something in his words that indicated that he also knew something about Krabi's past.
"I'm just trying to avoid those annoying guys in the Shrine. What are you going to do? You haven't answered the question I just asked." Krabi replied casually, and immediately asked Lennon, not intending to keep asking him.
Be on the passive side of the conversation.
"When Mr. Perval fled, he took a child with him. I want to know his whereabouts." Lennon thought for a while and finally stated the purpose of his trip.
"The year after Povar brought him, he was adopted by a passing noble. That guy was probably from the Main Continent." Krabi smiled and replied.
"What did you say!?" Lennon stood up suddenly, supported the table with one hand, and stared at Krabi, "You said you gave him to someone else to raise him?"
"Mr. Sivens, your reaction is a little too intense, isn't it? This is an orphanage, and its main purpose is to find a home for those orphans." Krabi calmly responded to Lennon, "Besides, Perval told me before leaving.
, don’t let his children get involved in the ‘Meihuang’ thing again.”
"Sorry, I lost my temper." Lennon apologized, sat back on the sofa, and thought thoughtfully for a while.
After about a minute, he spoke again, "You're lying to me, scholar." Lennon's tone became cold, and his name for Krabi also changed.
"There is no need. If you are Perval's subordinate, you should obey his will." Krabi's tone did not change, and he still stared at Lennon with a firm look in his eyes.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, and the two seemed to have started some kind of confrontation.
"You're right..." About a minute later, Lennon said as if giving up. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and sighed.
"It's already very late. There are still a few guest rooms here. If you don't mind, you can stay one night before leaving." Krabi stood up and made it clear that the conversation was over.
Lennon shook his head, reached for the top hat on the table, and stood up.
"No need, I have booked a hotel in the city, it shouldn't be too late to go now." Lennon said as he walked to the door, opened the door and went out without saying a word.
Krabi didn't do much to persuade him to stay. After confirming that the other party had indeed left, he let out a long sigh.
"What was supposed to come has come..." A slightly older voice echoed in the empty reception room.
…
"Cunning guy, his lies are mixed with some truth. He is indeed an experienced scholar." After leaving the gate, Lennon stopped in front of the gate, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He turned his head and glanced at the door he had just walked out of.
"I will come again." Lennon saluted towards the deserted place, then turned around and merged into the dark night.
