Kuailong Express sets sail again. After completing two transportations, he will transport the last batch of goods back to Qidao after taking a rest.
With the room where the trophies were stored completely emptied, Luther's return date has been set.
Others who received the message from Cosi also quickly prepared to leave Galar.
After careful consideration, Ma Li packed the things she wanted to take away.
In the living room, Nie Zi was lying on the sofa, arms spread wide, looking at the ceiling wondering what he was thinking.
The vibrating salamander beside him was uncharacteristically quiet and did not disturb Nie Zi.
The elves in the courtyard hugged Morubeko goodbye one after another, and Morubeke lost his usual energetic appearance and looked a little depressed.
"Brother, I'm leaving."
Ma Li's voice brought the dazed Nie Zi back to his senses. He adjusted his sitting posture, looked at the bulging bag behind Ma Li, and then looked at Ma Li.
Nie Zi had thought a lot about what he wanted to say when parting, but now he had forgotten all of it.
Over the years, Ma Li has grown up under his protection and has never left Galar.
Although Ma Li said that she was no longer a child, Nie Zi always subconsciously regarded Ma Li as a child and worried that she would not be able to take care of herself.
Although sometimes he can't even take care of himself...
"Contact me when you have time. I'm also curious about what the island is like."
Ma Li nodded, called Morubeke to her side, put on her backpack and opened the door.
"Mari!"
Nie Zi stood up and called out to Ma Li, but her words got stuck again.
Ma Li knew exactly what her brother wanted to say, and said first, "I will take care of myself."
Nie Zi sighed and watched Ma Li walk further and further away.
Regarding the decision to let Ma Li go to Qidao, Nie Zi was a little reluctant at first. However, after seeing the shocking scene of Luther defeating Qibana, the last trace of unwillingness in his heart disappeared and was replaced by admiration.
If she continues to stay by her side, Ma Li's potential will not be fully tapped.
It's better to let go completely.
Looking at the deserted street, Nie Zi returned to the house with some disappointment. When he saw the elves gathered in the courtyard and stared at him silently, Nie Zi said.
"For a long time from now on, it will be just us."
"Ma Li has gone to pursue a more powerful realm. Next time she comes back, maybe we will have to fight her."
Nie Zi's elves are high-spirited and gearing up.
Nie Zi himself also worked hard. After all, he is the elder brother... It would be quite embarrassing if he lost.
Lulina stood on the hill overlooking Shuizhou Town and the sparkling sea in the distance, as if she wanted to imprint all the scenery here into her mind.
Since receiving the message, Lulina took the time to say goodbye to her original team members and used her own money to buy gifts for them.
With Luther's help, she terminated a series of contracts without using her own money. Instead, she relied on the funds sent by Qidao to solve the problem.
It was also because of Luther's existence that some partners who decided to insist on the content of the contract opened the door to Lu Lina after repeated deliberation.
Some residents of Water Boat Town did not understand Lurina's behavior and thought she was a traitor, while others wished her well as she was about to leave Galar and go to other areas for development.
Lurina doesn’t think she is the traitor some people say she is!
She loves her hometown, and while becoming the gym leader of Water Boat Town, she used her influence to obtain many resources for the town.
However, the stage in Galar is still too small for Lurina. Only by stepping onto a larger stage can she have a chance to win higher honors and opportunities for herself.
For this opportunity, she made a choice.
In the past, she kept fighting for her family and her hometown, putting her own needs last.
Now, she wants to fight for her dream.
For her, Qidao will be the biggest opportunity in her life, and she will never miss it again.
"I will come back. At that time, I will have more honors and a more dazzling myself."
"I will make you proud of what I have accomplished!"
Lurina smiled, dragged her suitcase, and left without looking back.
At the same time, Gray Stone picked up "tons and tons and tons" of Shuizhou Town's local fine wine, and the whole bottle of wine was blown away without a drop left. This bold move amazed Caidou.
Sailer also gave a thumbs up: "There is no one to drink with you on the island. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
As he was about to leave Galar, Gray Stone came to say goodbye to his old friend while there was still time.
There was no one in the bar during the day, so Celeste reluctantly set the table up to the door, enjoying the sea breeze with Gray Stone and enjoying the food and wine.
Seiler's words hit the "sad point" of Gray Stone. There were people on the entire island who could drink, but they didn't have the capacity to drink.
Luther's drinking capacity is quite good, but unfortunately he rarely drinks. At most, he only has a few drinks with him during the holidays.
Usually when people in Qida drink, they drink fruit wine and honey wine.
Damn, can this be called drinking?
What is the difference between these things and plain water?
Luther once commented that he might have Maozi ancestry. Huishi went to read the book, but he still didn't understand after a long time. Who is Maozi? Are they also good at drinking?
"Drinking is harmful to my health. I may have to control myself in the future."
Gray Stone's words made Sailer hit the sugar cake in his hand on the table, and his eyes widened.
"Are you suffering from a chronic terminal illness?"
"What kind of thing? Give it some time and I'll attend the funeral for you."
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Caidou and Xijana sat aside, chewing the sugar cakes made by senior Sailer, and drinking the mead that Gray Stone called boiled water. They listened silently to the exchanges between the two bosses and felt the interpol veteran.
A lifelong friendship.
I originally thought that the conversation between the two old men would be full of fireworks or a sense of history, but Seiler's "frank" speech broke all the beautiful illusions, so much so that Caidou choked.
"I will definitely outlive you, so don't worry about that."
Gray Stone took another sip of wine and didn't take it seriously. After all, he had long been used to it.
"That's a good relationship. When the time comes, you can attend the funeral for me."
Caidou choked again.
The sea breeze is blowing, the sun is shining brightly, right on the edge of this seaside path, the environment and atmosphere are so good, why can't the conversation between the two seniors avoid the funeral?
"I have seen the generosity of my seniors. Was this how Interpol police used to chat with each other?"
Luther walked out of the bar with a steaming shortbread, interrupting the two men's discussion of life and death.
Caidou was still young and could not quite understand the indifferent attitude of the two elderly Interpol police officers towards death.
They have seen too much, and have spent most of their lives fighting darkness that ordinary people cannot imagine.
They maintain order in the most chaotic times, scarred and not understood.
One after another people passed away after retirement, and even telling about their past became a luxury.
It is a blessing for both of them to have someone who knows them well and gives them a ride when they are dying.
"Senior Sailer, try my shortbread cookies. They are no worse than your sugar cookies."
Luther had great respect for the older generation of Interpol, especially with an old man like Hui Shi beside him. He was very interested in meeting other older generation of Interpol, so he came with Hui Shi to say goodbye to Seiler.
Sailer stuffed the hot sesame shortbread into his mouth. The palm-sized shortbread was not enough for Sailer to take one bite.
“Delicious, crispy and sweet, with a bit of burnt sesame flavor!”
"I heard from Hui Shi a long time ago that you like to cook, are good at cooking, and are good at pastries. I thought he was bragging just to spite me, but now it seems that he was not lying!"
"Do it again in front of me later, is that okay?"
This is to learn how to make Luther's shortbread. Luther naturally agreed. After all, he doesn't rely on this to make money.
During the time Luther was in Galar, the information network secretly mobilized by Seiler had been silently protecting him.
On the night when the wild elves attacked the town, Seiler's people had already discovered the anomaly, but unfortunately the information was not good and they could not report it to Seiler.
So the two people who were responsible for paying attention to the activities outside the orphanage planned to take the initiative to report the situation to the orphanage. Unfortunately, the wild elves came too quickly. They were too tired to deal with the wild elves that kept attacking them and could not warn them.
The only good news is that although Seiler's people were injured, they were not in much danger.
As long as Senior Sailer has been taking care of himself, a pastry recipe means nothing.
"By the way, I just heard you say that you want to quit drinking?" Luther looked at Gray Stone and asked curiously, "Why?"
"It's not about quitting drinking, it's about tempering it a little." Hui Shi shook the bottle, "Yu Zi said that drinking like this is not good for your health."
"But Yuzi has advised you before, didn't you listen?" Luther asked.
Gray Stone sighed and explained: "Youzi said that if I keep drinking like this, I may not be able to see Little Luther walking, and I will be dead."
Luther slapped his forehead, Seiler burst into laughter, Caidou and Xijana almost spat out the mead they drank, and only Acerola and Kesi looked calm.
Persuading people is also a technical job.
For an old man like Hui Shi who is not afraid of death at all, if you tell him that his life will be shortened by a few years and it will be bad for his health, it is all nonsense.
So Yuzi learned a lesson and directly found the key point of Gray Stone and killed it with one strike.
"In this case, you really should exercise some restraint." Seiler smiled.
"Besides, Gray Stone, the things you expected didn't happen."
Sailer said: "I told you that times have changed, the alliance has a bottom line in doing things, and the chaos of our fathers' generation is gone forever."
"Enjoy your life now. After all, you've met a bunch of great people, haven't you?"
Gray Stone wanted to refute Seiler about the wild elves attacking the town, but the nobles at that time were no longer at the top of the alliance and were not convincing.
After experiencing all the things in Galar, Gray Stone's restless heart calmed down inexplicably.
Now, like Luther, he just wants to go home quickly.
