Dieter Fleet got this VIP ticket a long time ago. To be precise, it is a permanent VIP ticket.However, the senior colonel is a person who is very concerned about the family. Based on the principle of staying with the family and not traveling far, the senior colonel has almost never used this ticket, but seeing the puppets, they have to take various means of transportation for a ghostwriting business Traveling to various parts of the world, he also hoped that this ticket would play its due value, so he gave this permanent ticket to Violet.
With this ticket, the VIP area of the ferry at the port will be permanently open to Violet, no matter how many times she rides, she is allowed.
Rochester's habit is usually to go to the chess and card room to play a game or two after exercising in the morning, and then come to the deck, facing the gentle sea breeze, to enjoy a feast of fresh seafood.But today, Rochester didn't spend his day according to the old habits, but came to the deck and waited very early.
That beautiful automatic note doll is different from others. It is as beautiful as a work of art, but it is not a canary in a cage.
She exudes the brilliance of freedom all over her body.
Rochester knew that Violet would definitely come here, and he felt that someone who looked like that kind of puppet would disdain to participate in the intrigue at the gaming table.
The man sat on the deck for two hours. Although the sea breeze was very comfortable, some water droplets brought up from time to time slapped his face and clothes. After a while, under the influence of the cold air, Rochester began to shiver uncontrollably. trembling.
"Ah..."
Pushing his gold-rimmed glasses, this gentleman wearing glasses does not seem to be associated with the army.
Da.....da.....da....da...
Just when Rochester was about to give up, there was a sound of high-heeled shoes from far to near, and the man who had been waiting all morning turned his head expectantly. It was indeed the familiar pair of brown high-heeled shoes with a little bit of grinding, so its owner must have yes......
The man raised his head slowly, and it was those eyes as blue as the sea that greeted him. Violet walked past the man with her tableware, and went straight to the most secluded dining table and sat down.At the same time, he took out the typewriter from the suitcase and recorded something in a click.
"Hello, distinguished guest."
"Today's main course is scallops cooked at low temperature in thick soup, and peony shrimp that were freshly caught this morning."
"The appetizer is lamb chops braised in red wine, and the dessert is fresh cream pomegranate cake and lime mousse. Please take it easy."
Violet's meal was served, and as usual, she ate a piece of pre-dinner bread first.After eating the bread, he used the knife and fork gracefully and ate quietly. For Rochester, appreciating such beautiful things was more interesting than exercising and playing cards.
In fact, Violet over there had long noticed this line of sight, and sat at the farthest position to ensure a safe distance.
Perhaps he still couldn't help but want to talk to Violet. This time Rochester deliberately went to sit opposite Violet after she had finished eating. The clothes of the two still didn't match, but their temperaments were different. look alike.
"I remember, at this time last year, Lucia, it seemed that there was a horse race. Did you go to see it?"
"In that game, the night knight's performance was really impressive!"
After hearing Rochester's question, Violet nodded politely, her tone was still flat, as if she felt it was an understatement, but the message she said made Rochester almost fall off his chair.
"I am the rider of the Black Knight."
"puff!!!!!"
The champagne that Rochester had just brought into his mouth was sprayed out in one gulp, and it took him a long time to calm down before he could react.
"You are the rider of the Night Knight?! The rider who would rather fall off his horse than let the horse win the championship?!"
"Are you competing this year? I'm all-in on you to win."
Seemingly not wanting to continue the discussion with Rochester, Violet bowed her head in apology, and after saying sorry, she left the man again and walked back to the cabin.
It was unprecedented for Rochester to hit a wall with the same woman twice in a row, but the interest in her in his heart was not an emotional one either.
Rochester felt that, for some reason, this woman in front of him was very far away from him, far away and untouchable, and it was absolutely impossible to try to pursue or love her.She is like an untouchable, exquisitely carved work of art, which makes people feel that they just need to appreciate it quietly.
"At least, the goal has been achieved..."
Seeing the logo of CH postal company on Violet's suitcase, Rochester lit a cigar and said slowly.
"CH Post Company... I seem to have heard there... that guy Nova Kaffir seems to be the liquor supplier there..."
"When I come back from this business trip, I would like to visit in person..."
Uninvited guest at the tavern
Leiden is a big city and a small one at the same time.
This city is so big that it stretches as far as the eye can see, its territory stretches for thousands of miles, yet it is so small that the fates of so many people meet, overlap, and intertwine without knowing it...
Inside the CH postal company, President Hawkins looked at the three bottles of rum in front of him, raised his head in doubt, and looked at the liquor merchant standing in front of him.
"That's all?"
"OK."
Nova Kafir was not too polite, he found a stool and sat in front of Hawkins, probably because he had been in the wine cellar and those famous wines all the time, Nova himself also had a hint of good-smelling wine fragrance.
"This is the best rum. It is fermented and distilled from the best sugar cane in the sugar factory. It has been placed in wooden barrels for more than three years. Look at this beautiful amber color. I feel sorry for selling it to you. !"
"If I hadn't been short of money recently and the tavern couldn't keep going, why would I have come to you for help..."
Nova was not polite at all, and put his legs on Hawkins' desk, but the sound of legs touching the table was not like the sound of something soft touching the table, on the contrary, it was a crisp, hard sound. The sound of collisions between objects.
"These pants are not comfortable at all."
Nova pulled up the trouser leg of her right leg. Inside was a prosthetic leg, carefully crafted of steel and wood. Although it was not as fine and strong as Violet's mechanical arm, it was barely qualified as a prosthetic.
"When I was on a mission with Kiel's brother, I was bitten by the landmines of the rebels, so I withdrew from the front line of the war. I worked as a clerk in the logistics department, do you remember? , Hawkins, how many cans I secretly approved for you back then."
"Of course, there is also that Etil Gardenia..."
Nova was silent for a moment, then lit a cigarette.
"The soul in the army."
For a long time, the existence of Adele has been concealed by Hawkins, because he is afraid that Adele will encounter any danger, so as the company's hidden puppet, it has never been mentioned, even the company has been supplying Nova Kaffir, the drinker, knew nothing about Etil's existence.
"She disappeared after the war, and I don't know where she went. My leg that was blown up back then was only saved because of her treatment."
Hawkins also lit a cigarette for himself, then picked up a bottle of wine, looked at the wonderful amber color inside, skillfully opened the bottle, and poured a glass for Nova.
"Thank you, I'll treat you as if you invited me."
Nova who took the wine glass said.
"Almost all the good wine I have hidden has come to you. If it weren't for the lack of money recently, I would not be willing to sell these old buddies of mine to you at a friendly price."
Continuing to smoke, Nova's expression was deep, and then he saw through the powerlessness and decadence of life, and even Hawkins felt his difficulty.
"Your wine is of good quality and has a good reputation. There are so many guests coming. Why are you short of money?"
Nova sighed heavily, and took a sharp puff of the cigarette in his hand. At this time, the office was filled with smoke, and under the cigarette were those badly written letter papers. These two veterans were really not afraid of accidentally setting the letter paper on fire.
"I had a very difficult customer in my shop recently."
"If it's just not paying, then it's okay."
Nova took a sip of the wine in his hand and said to Hawkins.
"The point is, she gave too much."
"I can't remember the exact day she came here. She came to the tavern that day and ordered a classic lime mojito. It was a normal day, but that woman was so beautiful. It's like..."
"Like something... an angel, or a mythical goblin or something, rare white hair, red eyes, the color of the eyeballs like blood, she pays in gold nuggets every time she comes, she once The gold nuggets thrown out are enough to buy a hundred bottles of this kind of rum, if you think about it, how dare I ask for it.”
Nova continued.
"If it's just for her to drink alone, I can still afford it. It doesn't matter. Such a beautiful woman comes to the store, and her face alone is worth the price of a glass of wine. But every time she comes, someone will try to strike up a conversation. Because she is so beautiful, more beautiful than any of your dolls here."
"The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is."
"At first, she would still politely refuse, but you know who the people who come in and out of my tavern are, they are all masters of fighting. In order to fight for that woman, they will not only fight, but also destroy tables and chairs. And once someone stalks that woman, that woman will directly beat him to the hospital."
"Repeatedly, some people even took the initiative to challenge her after hearing about it. You said it's ridiculous. In the end, almost all the regular customers were affected by her, or were beaten up by her, and they couldn't run away. Leaving me alone to guard the tavern, the business can't go on."
Hearing this, President Hawkins has roughly guessed who that woman is. Apart from sympathizing with Nova, Hawkins is more happy in his heart. If Lytina is still in Leiden, Eddie's clue it won't break.If we can find her and have an interview with her, we may be able to find out about Adele's current situation, and even his location!
"Hey, why do you have such an awe-inspiring expression? Are you sympathizing with me?"
Nova teased impatiently, but Hawkins came alive.
"The big deal is to be beaten up, for the sake of my daughter!"
"what?!"
Seeing Hawkins' appearance, Nova couldn't figure it out at all. At this time, Hawkins took out a hundred booleans from the drawer and handed it to Nova, telling him.
"If that woman comes to your tavern again, please tell me..."
Looking at the expression of the middle-aged man in front of him, Nova even wondered if he was crazy.
"Why, don't look for her if you want to be beaten. She doesn't care about the seriousness of her actions. She has been sent to the intensive care unit of the hospital."
"Yes, I just want to be beaten!!!"
Hawkins held Nova's hand excitedly.
"Please, good brother!!!"
Nova felt that Hawkins' appearance at this time might be because there were too many things in the company, and the pressure was too high. It seems that his former comrade-in-arms did not live much better than him... At this time, he once again looked at President Hawkins in front of him, and there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
past history
The girl who is far away from her hometown is looking for the origin of the person she loves on the endless sea on the ferry going far away.
Rather than waiting silently at the post office, it is better to pursue it. Although the journey is far away, but I think of the person I have always remembered and loved in my heart, no matter how far away, I will no longer be confused.
The three-day journey at sea was finally over. As the ship docked, it was really a painful and difficult experience for those people in the small berths.And Violet also got off the boat slowly with the people and stood on the pier of Steeljord.
During the period, Rochester would chat with her from time to time. The man seemed to be very interested in what she had experienced. Before leaving, he even gave Violet an apple. On this ship, this kind of iced apple is very delicious. It was expensive, so this gift was definitely not considered a drop in price, and if he gave some other expensive things, he knew that Violet would never accept it.
At this time, Rochester stood quietly on the deck, watching Violet get off the boat silently, looking at the girl's back, for some reason, he still felt a little bit reluctant.Steeljord is just a halfway station for him, not the end station. He has to go to more distant places, but since he already knows the post office where she is, he also has the opportunity to visit those who once fought together. old folks.
Although many of them are gone...
At this moment, Violet was standing on the pier, while the people around were hurrying, coming and going.And Violet stood quietly among the flowing crowd, holding that beautiful blue umbrella, beautiful and quiet, even those who bowed their heads in a hurry, couldn't help but raise their heads. Focus on the body and stay.
What Violet was looking at was the Sea Gate, the symbol of Stiljord.
The wharf is built on the periphery of Haimen Pass. As soon as you get off the ferry, you can see the surrounding iconic cliffs. Two mountains squeeze the pass in the middle, like a circular gap. Compared with the vast sea around, this place looks So small, but it has a magnificent and magnificent history.
"It's written in the book."
"The free people rebelled against the rule of the king, and the god of war sent down the divine fire of punishment, burning everything and devouring all living beings."
"Fighting for country, dying for liberty, soldiers deservedly died, and won the final and highest honor."
Violet slowly put her hands on her heart, bowed her head to pay tribute to this history, thinking about everything that happened here, she couldn't help being in awe.And when she set foot on this land, for some reason, a familiar feeling ignited in her heart, that feeling was like a flame, like a wave, calming her heart like a sunny sea. , Unknowingly, my heart surged.
Violet felt that there seemed to be an unknown power in her body, and she wanted to vent it out.
click...
When Violet came back to her senses, she realized that the sweet and crisp apple she was holding in her left hand had been crushed by herself at some point, and the juice was flowing between her fingers. Feeling very sorry, he put his hand on his lips and lightly tasted the sweet apple juice.
Walking slowly in the small town of the city-state of Steeljord, after checking Violet's transnational permit and asking about the purpose, Violet finally got the right to come and go here freely. As for the soldiers, when the inspector questioned Violet, he didn't ask anything.
There is no ghostwriting task this time, so Violet has time to fully appreciate this city-state built on the seamount, the last piece of land where Leiden was unified.Steeljord is not big, and the two most eye-catching landmarks are the two cathedrals. Because it is in the tropics, the sun is abundant and the temperature is very high. The vegetation here is very lush. Violet also saw her in Some unnamed tropical fruits that Layton had never seen before.
In addition, Violet found that there were some sculptures and totems around, like some kind of symbol. After Violet looked around and went to the periphery of two churches, she summarized these signs into two One is a woman with the image of a general holding an epee and scars on her body. If you look carefully, this woman is very familiar. She is covered in blood, decorated with red and white plaster statues, and the armor on her body is full of war. Lost, like a kind of image of a goddess of war who is proud of war.
The other kind of sculpture is a flawless female image, which is very different from the previous Goddess of War who was full of scars and battle damage. Her clothes, hair accessories, and any decorations and decorative gems on her body are all the same. This perfect, impeccable state, the most eye-catching thing in front of her is a huge balance held by the goddess.The sculpture places the scales in the center in front of him, exactly, which seems to symbolize a kind of balance.The even balance confirmed Violet's conjecture.
"After the Valkyrie destroyed the Steeljord, she killed the culture there. Since then, a new culture has naturally emerged. The blood of war flows in the Steeljord... ..So, this kind of war-like sculpture was born here..."
Violet was a little disappointed. After all, she came for the angels, but she didn't see the wings of the angels from the sculptures here. If everyone here believes in angels, then the initiators or inheritors of this culture , should be the same as myself, have witnessed the existence of angels, and the arrival of it.
"It's embarrassing..."
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened without knowing when, because it is in an area with a lot of precipitation, the weather here is also cloudy and sunny.Soon, the bean-sized raindrops fell down with a tick, and after a few tens of seconds, it turned into a torrential rain.
Violet put away her blue umbrella. This kind of umbrella specially made by craftsmen can only be used to shade the sun. If it is hit by rain or swept by strong winds, this umbrella will definitely be damaged or broken.
This is something she entrusts her thoughts with, and Violet is obliged to protect it.
At this time, the girl stood under the eaves of a roof, quietly watching the continuous rain in front of her. In this strange country, there might be something she was looking for all her life, but after experiencing disappointment, Violet found that she In fact, I don't know Etil's past at all.
It's like she forgot what she used to be.
Secret garden
Steeljord is a country that worships gods. Violet also knows a little about the legends they believe in and some gods that have appeared. Before she came here, she had read several records about myths and stories.The Stiljord people like to call themselves the descendants of some gods, and compare this place to the land of the gods.
Among them are Hercules, the God of War, the Sun God, the God of Beauty, etc., etc., there are too many to remember. These myths have a long history and a wide range of traces, and there are many gods that have appeared , there are many righteous and evil gods.Whether they really exist, or are some mortals myths, and whether they have been verified, are not known.
At this moment, a voice broke Violet's thoughts.
"A newcomer who has stepped into this land."
When Violet was sheltering from the rain, three blurred figures suddenly appeared in the distance, approaching slowly in the rain, Violet's hand rested lightly on the paratrooper knife at her waist, for some reason, when she came After arriving on this land, a terrifying fighting spirit emerged inexplicably in her body. This sense of power made her grip the handle of the knife rattling. This was a familiar feeling, as if this land had awakened her Something hidden in the body is as hot as fire and as towering as a mountain.
