Chapter 216: Stranger
The middle-aged man with a beard turned his attention to Cadde City. He lowered his head and pondered for a while. His huge body gradually became normal. He also walked towards the Rhine River, walked into the cold water and disappeared.
In Hulin Street, Camus, who had been sleeping for a long time, opened his eyes. The dazzling sunlight made him squint subconsciously. A familiar fragrance came to his nostrils. Camus was shocked. He thought about where he had smelled this scent. fragrance.
"The smell on Su Lan's body, is this her room?"
Camus pulled away and climbed up from the bed. He immediately saw the pink bed and the brown cabinet next to it, as well as the neat clothes in the cabinet. Camus even saw a few indescribable things, and he immediately gasped. After taking a breath, a word suddenly came to mind, right C.
"woke up?"
A calm questioning voice rang out, interrupting Camus who was concentrating. He slowly raised his head and found that it was the owner of this room, Su Lan.
"Um...thank you."
Seeing Su Lan, Kamiao immediately shrank her eyes and quickly thanked her to cover up her emotions. After regaining her composure, she bent down and put on her leather shoes and prepared to leave this place.
"Your sister is very worried about you. She is making something in the kitchen. Although I don't agree with it, it's not easy to stop her." Susie nodded slightly and said another thing in a calm tone.
"Huh? Thank you. Please excuse me, but her cooking skills may be a little bad." Hearing this, Camus was stunned. Lax can also cook? When he walked out of the room, he immediately smelled a burning smell, and immediately understood why Su Lan's first thing when seeing him was to say that his sister had cooked, and she suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"No trouble, wasting food is a bad habit, you know what I mean, right? I guess she has already prepared it. This is a love meal she made for her brother." Su Lan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was slightly cheerful. She looked at Camus, waiting for his answer.
"Ahem... of course... it's not good to waste food, ahem." Camus coughed immediately when he heard this. He walked out with some fear, and immediately saw a plate of charred roasted meat on the table in the restaurant. Chicken, vegetables with no visible color, and milk soaked in white bread, each piece of food made his heart skip a beat. In order to maintain his grace, he could only cough a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"Brother, you're awake. Sister Su Lan said you're fine, just a little sleepy. I cooked for you." At this time, Lux in the kitchen heard the exchanges outside, and came out wearing a black kitchen skirt, her There was also a muddy carrot in his hand, and his face was covered with gray and black marks.
"Ahem... Lux has eaten enough, don't do any more."
Seeing Lux's appearance, Camus was frightened. He quickly walked over and grabbed Lux, asking her to stop this dangerous behavior.
"There is also carrot stew. The only thing missing is the carrot stew. Brother, just wait a moment. It will be ready soon." Lux avoided Camus's arm with a cheerful and excited tone. He ran back to the kitchen and took the The carrots still covered in mud were completely thrown away. Camus took a breath of cold air when he saw it. He quickly turned his head to look at the charred food on the table, his expression stiff and twitching.
"It's not good to waste food. This is your sister's love food. Well... I don't think you will refuse." Susie walked over slowly, spoke quietly, and then turned and left.
"OK"
Kamiao immediately raised his hand to his forehead and spoke stiffly.
"The book is right, this is how it is done. The beef stew with carrots is ready. Brother, please try it." Lux suddenly said in the kitchen, and she anxiously carried a large pot of steaming food away. When he came out, Ka Miao's eyebrows jumped when he saw the pot of food, and he silently stepped aside.
Anyway, I have no sense of taste, so whatever I eat is the same. But just because I have no sense of taste, it doesn’t mean that my body doesn’t respond. Will I be poisoned if I eat this? To eat or not to eat? It's so hard for me.
"Ms. Su Lan said that he and Ms. Su Qian went out for something. It's just the two of us. Brother, let's have a try." Just when Kamius was debating whether to eat or not, Lux picked up the knife and fork and handed it over, her eyes filled with contentment. It's expectation.
"Okay..." Kamius took the knife and fork, cut a piece of blackened chicken breast and put it on his plate. Looking at the black piece of food, and then at Lux's expectant gaze, Miao twitched the corner of her mouth and closed it. Cut a piece off his upper eye and put it in his mouth.
"Kaka..." The sound of eating biscuits came out of his mouth. Kamiao immediately raised his thumb, his expression was excited and shocked, and his tone was satisfied and happy.
"Hmm...very good, Lux, your cooking is very delicious."
"Really? Try my carrot and beef soup." Hearing his brother's praise, Lux suddenly smiled, but his face was full of stains and didn't look very pretty. He picked up Camus' plate He scooped up a large spoonful of the so-called soup and put it into a porcelain bowl. Camus looked at the intact carrots in the pot and took a deep breath. He picked up a carrot with a fork and silently thought to himself, this is high-temperature sterilized, at most It's a bit earthy, so it shouldn't cause diarrhea, right?
"Hmm... That's great, so delicious." As soon as the carrot entered his mouth, Camus chewed it casually a few times, and then praised Lux profusely.
"That's great. I knew I could do it. I'll cook the food at home from now on." Upon hearing the compliment, Lux's eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles, and she forked another piece of carrot onto Camus' plate.
"Pfft... cough cough, Lacus, your brother is rich. As a well-educated lady, you don't need to cook. Your brother can support you. I will find you a grammar teacher, an art teacher, and a music teacher. You only need to learn these knowledge. I will hire a maid to cook." Hearing that Lacus would have to cook in the future, Camus was so anxious that she almost spit out the food in her mouth. She spoke quickly, her tone a little hurried.
"Really? But I want to cook." Lacus pouted her mouth and complained in a low voice.
"Cough cough, I'll go to the bathroom when I have a chance in the future." Camus felt some reaction in his body, and immediately stood up gracefully and walked to the bathroom.
At the Golden Oak First Citizen Hospital, Susie and Su Lan slowly got off the carriage. Their expressions were somewhat relaxed. Susie looked at the complicated flow of people and the dazzling sunlight and exhaled slightly.
"Lacus's meal... Sister, do you dare to eat it?"
"Do you dare to eat it?"
The soul-searching question made Susie shut her mouth. She pouted and followed Su Lan to the basement of the hospital, but Su Lan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He quickly turned and looked in one direction. It was the street in front of the First Citizen Hospital. A bright and luxurious black carriage was quietly parked there. The coachman was a middle-aged man dressed very gentlemanly. In the hollowed-out carriage window, a pair of black eyes without any emotion were imprinted into Susie's eyes.
"Fiona..."
Su Lan saw the purple flower in the carriage and immediately knew who the visitor was. She spoke in a calm tone.
"What is he doing here?"
Seeing Fiona, Susie was just a little confused. Although Fiona was her sister's friend, they didn't communicate in normal times. She had seen Fiona when she was very young, but she always came to find her sister. She didn't know what the subtle relationship between her sister and Fiona was. They were obviously two friends who grew up together, why was the relationship so subtle? This made her very curious.
"Stay here and wait for me. There is a nice cafe next to it. You haven't eaten yet. I'll come find you later." Su Lan did not answer Su Si. She walked slowly towards the carriage. She knew why Fiona came here. She also had complicated feelings for this competitive teammate from childhood to adulthood.
"Okay"
Su Si looked a little surprised. She also walked towards the cafe not far away. She was indeed a little hungry.
Su Lan walked to the carriage. The coachman did not stop Su Lan. After Su Lan entered, he drove the carriage to a quiet place and then turned and left.
In the luxurious carriage, Su Lan smelled a faint incense, which immediately relaxed her body. This nostalgic smell immediately reminded him of what this thing was. This is an extremely expensive whale incense, which is also a kind of incense often used by some high-ranking nobles. This incense is condensed in the stomach of the monster whale. The price is extremely expensive. One gram can be sold at a high price of one gold coin.
"Madica Empire, 2879, September, 17th, a shocking incident happened to the Moshi family, a senior family of the Adventurer's Guild. The eldest and second daughters of the Moshi family were expelled from the family, and the two girls disappeared in the territory of the Madica Empire." Fiona slowly told the past of Su Lan and the others, her tone was calm and low.
"Madica Empire, 2879, September 19th, the Moshi family's top seal, the inverted pointer, disappeared. Even the explorer of Sequence 2 Stage 6 could not find the inverted pointer, but the Moshi family did not issue a wanted order or continue to search." Fiona did not stop, she continued to speak calmly and told another past event.
"8 years, the taste of nostalgia."
Hearing this story, Susie raised her head slightly, looked out the window, and her tone was a little emotional.
"Yes, my rival since childhood. I have always been curious about why you were promoted to Sequence 11 instead of Sequence 8. This has always been my question. If you are promoted to Sequence 8, you will have a complete path. Why do you want to be promoted to Sequence 11, which is troublesome and dangerous?" Fiona opened the gorgeous car window to let the air in. Her tone was calm and her eyes were looking outside.
"Sequence 8 is not suitable for me. Perfumer is quite suitable for me." Su Lan raised the corners of her mouth and answered Fiona's question.
"The inverted pointer is with you, right? You are interested in the 'inverted hourglass' that disappeared ten years ago, right?" Seeing Susie pretending to be stupid, Fiona directly brought up the matter.
"Are we real life? Sometimes I wonder whether we are resurrected souls or a new life. Until one day I found the answer. We are not life, but food. The blood of our ancestors is always flowing in our bodies. We have been a part of them from beginning to end. Have you ever thought that your family has a symbiotic soul-killing flower? Your soul-killing flower has a mother, so where is its mother?" Su Lan's questions struck Fiona's soul. She opened her mouth but did not speak. Her eyes were full of shock. Su Lan's words made her think a lot. Her thoughts were suddenly confused. She had also thought about this question, but she had no actual proof. Did Su Lan discover something?
