Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 435 Farewell and Departure 4k+
"Mr. Ricky, Mr. Ricky, Ricky! What's wrong!"

At the dining table, Mili Tang shook Liu Yonglu's shoulders. She had known him for more than half a year, and this was the first time she saw him like this. Liu Yonglu was no longer happy at this moment. He held up the half of the ancient book with his hands, tilted his head to look at the portrait from left to right, and muttered to himself:
"That... it seems... isn't it... it seems... it seems... it seems similar. Ours... seems similar..."

I couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Xiaohu, what's wrong with you?"

After being frightened by Liu Yonglu, Millie Tang was a little panicked. This guy had seen all kinds of big scenes in the past, but none of them was like today.

Xiaohu had the better idea. He stood on a chair, holding the hot and sour soup in one hand and the steamed bun in the other, and fed Liu Yonglu with spoonful after spoonful.

After a bowl of hot and sour soup and three steamed buns, Liu Yonglu's eyes finally recovered.

"Mi Li'er, do you know the person in the picture in the book?"

"I don't know him, but under the portrait on the title page..."

As she spoke, Millie Tang took the book from Liu Yonglu and took out a magnifying glass to look at it carefully:
"Yes, I noticed it yesterday. There are two letters RC written on the corner of the book. It might be the author's name."

"Let me slow down, let me slow down."

Liu Yonglu came back to life, lit a cigarette and sat down. This mysterious figure has only appeared in two scenes so far. The first time was on his way to the folk art troupe. He fell to the ground, made eye contact with himself, and then traveled through time.

The second time was after I put on the cloak, I could always see BK sneaking around and peeping at me.

Is he a good guy or a bad guy... He is a good guy, but he teleported himself to such a desolate mountain without saying a word...

Liu Yonglu raised his eyelids and looked around. Xiaohu was still standing on the chair, staring at him with his big eyes without blinking.

Mi Li'er also closed the book in her hand, put one hand on her shoulder, and turned the pen in the other hand, looking a little nervous.

To be fair this place is not bad. After living here for half a year, I have a wife and children.

But if you say he is a bad guy... I can see that he didn't do anything to me.

"I have used this ancient relic several times recently. Every time I see a figure hiding in the corner, groping around, and getting closer each time..."

Liu Yonglu then told the story about the strange thing that happened when he saw a human figure in a special space.

He didn't deliberately hide his identity as a time traveler. It was mainly because Mi Li'er and Ling'er in front of the table were too eager to ask questions.

Sometimes I asked myself where "Wangdingdi" was, and sometimes I asked myself what "Jianbingguozi" was called. We couldn't continue the conversation that day.

Millie Tang just wrote and drew in her notebook, and for a moment she couldn't come up with a relatively reasonable explanation.

As for Ling'er, as soon as Liu Yonglu shut up, she started giving a long speech. After she finished, seeing the confused expressions of Liu Yonglu and Xiaohu, the girl frowned and explained again.

“It’s not hard to understand why you can see strange things while wearing this shroud.

You know that it is an ancient relic, right? Of course, the name "ancient relic" is also given by you. In fact, in our eyes, there are differences between ancient relics.

What did you investigators say... There is a price to pay for using ancient relics, and isn't it normal to enter a semi-spiritual state and see things that you can't understand?"

Anyway, Ling'er always has this expression. You are surprised because you have too little experience and are surprised by things you haven't seen before. But I have already seen through everything.

"Oh, that makes sense, that makes sense."

Liu Yonglu took out another steamed bun and tore it into small pieces to eat as a snack:

"That's not right. I can accept seeing strange things, but why did I only see him? And more than once!"

Liu Yonglu was almost confused by Ling'er and pointed to the portrait in the book.

"More than once? Maybe your eyes are deceiving you. Time is a rigid straight line to humans, and space is a dull plane to you.

The concept of distance in your eyes is meaningless in the spiritual space. The scene you see may happen in the future or in the past.

So even if you have seen this figure countless times, it does not mean that he has been spying on you. This image may even be left by him unintentionally."

Millie Tang nodded thoughtfully, but Liu Yonglu was still confused. He thought, what the hell is this? It's a mess.

"And I know the figure you're talking about."

Liu Yonglu felt as if he hadn't heard the first few sentences, but after this sentence, Liu Yonglu felt relieved and had a clear mind:

"Then tell me quickly, what is this kid's name, and where is his fairyland?"

“I don’t know his name, and in fact I’ve never seen him, but I’ve felt his presence behind that silver door.

Everything that enters behind that door leaves their scent behind.

Of course, breath is also a rhetorical device, and I actually witnessed an adventure involving this person. "

"Human? You mean he's not a god?"

Millie Tang grasped the point sharply.

"Yes, he is not a god."

After hearing this, Liu Yonglu and Militang both breathed a sigh of relief. OK, as long as they are human beings, it's OK. As long as they are human beings, they can discuss and use normal logic to reason and communicate.

"Then...where can I see him again?"

"You can try to touch him when you use this relic again, although I'm not sure you can see each other."

"Ok."

Although Ling'er did not answer Liu Yonglu's doubts, she undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

No matter who this RC is, he is at least a human being, and has entered the door of Ling'er's house. As for his specific motives and intentions, I have to study them slowly myself.

The next few days were basically the same. Millie Tang studied ancient books related to the Lost Sea, and Xiaohu Ling'er always looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and was always trapped by Liu Yonglu's words.

As for Liu Yonglu himself, he also put in some effort, studying the half book of forbidden spells in the morning and staying in the kitchen to prepare food in the afternoon.

Finally one morning, when Liu Yonglu woke up from bed, he found that Xiaohu was no longer in the room.

"Little Tiger! Little Tiger!"

Although he knew this day would come, Liu Yonglu still felt a little uneasy. He sat at the head of the bed and calmed himself down, only to find a note on the table.

"Bye, Ling'er and I are done. See you at the Lost Sea."

Liu Yonglu carefully put the note close to his body. After washing up, he did not go to the cafeteria to eat but went to the kitchen first.

The food he had prepared for Xiaohu and Ling'er on the long table had now been taken away.

"Okay, you can forget about anything but eating. You've become more capable."

Liu Yonglu went out, lit a cigarette, stood in the courtyard to bask in the sun for a while, then he put out the cigarette with his foot and went to the restaurant with his head down.

The restaurant was filled with Catholics as usual. When Saint Barlaam came in, many people who were familiar with him came over to greet him.

But when Liu Yonglu looked around, he didn't see the little genius siblings and Jacob and the others. After asking other people, he found out that Archbishop Kosander had commissioned the Inquisition to hunt down the thugs who had caused chaos on Candlemas Day.

Millie Tang wasn't here either. Maybe she went back to her room to read after dinner.

After arriving in this strange world, Liu Yonglu felt lonely and lost for the first time...

"So you also have a bitter face sometimes." Just at this moment, a voice came from behind. Liu Yonglu felt someone gently pulling his right hand. He turned around and saw that it was none other than Mi Li'er.

"How refreshing! I'm not the transformed Maitreya Buddha. It's normal to feel sentimental occasionally."

Millie Tang made a face behind him and Liu Yonglu scratched the back of his head.

"Back to Moses Sadeh?"

"Well, let's go, it's time to get down to business."

……

Moses Sadd, Canary Wharf.

Lin Brown and Kogan leaned against the carriage and ate the sandwiches in their hands, both looking at the calm sea outside the harbor.

"Do you think Captain Ricky will rest for a few more days in New Newland when he comes back this time? I went to Tianying Restaurant for dinner a few days ago, and the business was incredibly good.

If I hadn’t revealed my identity as a member of Food for Heaven, my sister and I would have probably waited until dawn.”

After working as an investigator for a few months, Kogan's whole temperament was a little different. After eating the sandwich, he licked his fingers, crumpled the wrapping paper into a ball, and kicked it away.

“I don’t know, but… I guess he won’t be able to stay for two days.

By the way, didn’t General Norman tell you before you came here that you’d better be respectful to Ricky when he comes back this time?”

To be honest, Lin Brown himself didn't know what the chief meant by this. Anyway, this is what he told the two of them when he called them to the switchboard room two days ago.

"Respect, how can I not respect you? The person I respect the most in the entire investigation department is Captain Ricky."

"Then why did you take his fruit pudding cake home the other day?"

Although the Candlemas feast was not celebrated with rice and flour as Liu Yonglu had imagined, according to the social etiquette of Moses Sadeh, friends would give each other gifts on major festivals.

The Investigation Department prepared traditional food, dried fruit pudding cake, for the investigators.

Kou Gang loved to take advantage of small things, and the cake that Liu Yonglu gave was distributed according to the captain's level and was of very good quality, so he just fou'ed it.

"Did I take it? I... Captain Ricky wasn't here anyway, and by the time he comes back the cake would be dry, so I... ate it for him first.

I'll treat him to dinner when we get back to New Nulund."

"We went to Tianying Restaurant, right? Ricky paid the bill in the end."

The two chatted while enjoying the sea breeze. Half an hour later, a huge cruise ship slowly arrived at the port.

The Holy See must have bought a first-class cabin for Saint Barlaam. After the cruise ship docked, Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang were the first to get off the ship with their luggage.

"Captain Ricky, here!"

Kogan whistled and waved his top hat, while Lindblanc walked over and took the suitcases from both of them.

"Ricky, do you want to go back to the Investigation Department first or go home first?"

When Liu Yonglu saw Lin Bulang, he gave him a bear hug first, and then the three of them walked towards the carriage:
"Going back to the Investigation Department? Going back home? Let's take a look at our ship first. The Chief Elder told me that you two have cleaned up the ship!"

Lin Brown smiled. To be honest, he was more anxious to go out to sea than anyone else. After all, the evil god's countdown was like a sword hanging over his head, making him restless all the time.

But Ricky was the captain, and he said he wanted to stay in New Newland for a while, and Lin Brown couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Ricky wanted to go out to sea as soon as possible, Lin Brown felt quite bad.

"Can you go out to sea? Your sister won't stop you from going, will she?"

Seeing Kou Gang, Liu Yonglu put his arm around his shoulders and held Kou Gang's head under his armpits.

"I'm an adult now, my sister can't control me!"

The young man looked disdainful and nodded and bowed to quickly open the door for Millie Tang.

"I passed by the study the other day and heard him arguing with his sister. The child almost cried."

Lin Brown was standing by and trying to sabotage the show.

"Talk to your sister. I'll make a phone call to ensure your safety. By the way, where's Marquette?"

"He left with another ship last week, saying he was going to scout ahead.

But don't worry, he is still as good as before. The ship will not go directly to the Lost Sea, but will go to the southern wild continent of Kurt first."

Lin Brown continued to explain beside him:

"Carol, DeLorean and their brave team also set out two days ago."

The four men talked as they rode in the carriage, and soon they arrived at another port. There were sheriffs and royal guards standing guard outside the port. It seemed that the Mosesad royal family had set aside a separate pier for this ocean expedition.

Inside the dock, sailors, workers, and horse-drawn carriages carrying goods were constantly passing by, and seven or eight large ships were docked at the port at this time.

“Captain, you were not here last week. The dock was even more spectacular then, with twelve expedition ships docked there.

A small number of them have already left the port. The Wisdom Cult has recently developed a new device to facilitate communication between ships. Of course, the distance cannot be too far."

Kougan had apparently become familiar with the people in the port, and he casually called a few boatmen to help set up the ladder to board the ship.

“This ship is ours, and it is definitely the most outstanding craftsmanship of Rodwell Company.

Captain, look, the deck is made of ebony and copper, and the steering wheel platform is covered with a layer of waterproof leather and carved decorative strips. If you want to go up to the observation deck, you can climb up along the net bag, or you can take this hand-cranked gear elevator. "

Kogan stroked the hull of the ship and introduced it with great joy, as if he was caressing the body of his lover:
"As for the power, there's nothing to complain about! The engine is a product of Rodwell Company. I heard that Mr. Nicholas personally debugged the boiler of this ship before he left.

The Wisdom God Cult also has that thing, but I don’t dare to use it. They say that you have to chant in front of the boiler every day to burn strange things in it. It doesn’t feel reliable. ”

The four men pushed open the door and entered the captain's cabin, which was a fully enclosed copper-framed glass dome. The control console was densely packed with gears, levers, and barometers, but Liu Yonglu couldn't understand any of it.

“Although going on an expedition to the Lost Sea is not going to fight a war, we still need some firepower support, otherwise I will not feel at ease.

There are three steam boat guns on each side of the ship, all of which are very sturdy. I tried to fire them a few days ago and they were fine. Putting aside how powerful this thing is, we must first ensure that it does not jam at the critical moment.

Revolving steam rifles can also be mounted on the deck, which may be useful in small-scale battles.

Captain, look at the bow. I specially asked them to install a chain saw-style ram. If anyone dares to mess with us, I will ram him at full speed!"

Kogan was a little frustrated. The four men stood at the bow and Kogan pointed underwater and said:

"By the way, Captain, what is the name of our ship?"

Liu Yonglu happily stood with his hands on his hips and looked at the huge bow statue. It was a beautifully carved statue of a goddess covered with copper. Under the statue was a rectangular copper nameplate embedded with rivets.

"Dog rides on rabbit!"

Looking at the frozen smile on Kou Gang's face, Liu Yonglu patted him on the shoulder:

"What do you know? A cheap name is easy to maintain!
Okay, I think it's good. I'll gather some more people tonight and we'll set off tomorrow!"
