I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

When I came back from the fairy land, it was already dark.

Although the sword is not available yet, the casting of the scabbard can be put on the agenda.

They need to confirm the fairy characters required for the scabbard and the technology used. Before Char finds a suitable sword in the lake, they can cast a shape based on the sword.

In fact, the Sword in the Lake could also be entrusted to them to be cast, but Xia Ya was not in a hurry and settled the matter of the scabbard first.

Calcifer came back unknown when, but he seemed to be a little tired from playing. He hid in the firewood and took a nap. The rich sandalwood fragrance filled the air, making people feel peaceful.

It seems that he also added some sandalwood to the firewood and burned it.

Alicia fell asleep on the sofa, and the flickering firelight reflected on her sleeping face. It seemed that she was waiting for him to come back and fell asleep.

Xia Ya has always been alone in the past. He has never had the feeling that someone is waiting for him at home.

Because wherever he goes, there is home, and there is no sense of expectation when he returns home.

But now, it's different.

Char did not wake up Alicia, he walked softly to the door leading to the library.

In the early morning, Xia Ya took Arthur and opened the door to Sashili.

They haven't been outside the garden for a long time, and after all, they don't have many friends in Sassi.

Three years later, the place has returned to its former tranquility, and the number of people on the streets is much greater than when the West French people came three years ago.

But it is definitely not as good as when Xia Ya came here for the first time. After all, war exists objectively, and trade in the commercial trade cannot be unaffected by war.

However, it seems that because of the special nature of Sashili, many outsiders choose to settle here for safety.

With more out-of-towners, there will naturally be a lot more unrest on the streets.

There are many men in black suits and sunglasses walking around here. Although they look like they are not easy to mess with, it is undeniable that they are responsible for the security of this town.

They stabilized the town to a certain extent.

In fact, not only Sasili, but also Xia Ya saw a lot about them during his years of traveling in Europe.

They control many ports and even have several warships to maintain the safety of the waterways.

Perhaps because of the war, many countries focused on facing external enemies, leading to chaos in internal security, and the mafia found an opportunity to grow rapidly.

Many merchants and stores are willing to pay a certain amount of protection fees to avoid attacks by gangsters and various zero-dollar purchases.

In just three years, this organization has expanded rapidly like a virus, and even split into different families.

"Teacher, who are you taking me to meet?"

Walking on the street, Arthur asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Xia Ya raised her hand and looked at the invitation in her hand.

That was brought to him by the Hatto people not long ago.

It was the wedding of his niece, Frena.

It seemed that three years had somewhat healed the pain in her heart, and she had found a new lover.

The former mayor's palace is now the residence of the Valentine family.

The place was already full of guests. Many big shots from Europe and Britannia traveled thousands of miles by boat to attend the wedding.

There are many tables placed in the open space, covered with exquisite tablecloths, and many delicacies are placed on them.

The guests held wine glasses and interacted with each other.

Leonard was facing a closed door in the corridor of the Station Mansion. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, slightly bald, and wearing a black suit.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The door was slowly opened and he walked in slowly.

This is an office, and the environment is very dark, because the surrounding windows are blocked by blinds, and only some light comes in through the blinds.

There were several strong men in suits sitting on the small sofas on both sides, and they were quietly looking at Leonard.

With a snap, the door closed, and the environment here became even darker.

A figure sat on the chair in front of the desk, with his back turned to him.

The back of the chair was very high, completely hiding the person. He could identify the person sitting on the chair entirely because of the hand on the armrest of the chair.

An empty chair was placed opposite the chair, corresponding to the armchair.

"I heard Leon say, you want to see me?"

Following the deep voice, the back of the chair slowly turned around, and Hart was sitting on the armchair, holding a cat in his hand.

He was wearing a well-fitting crisp suit. He put his fingers in the corners of his eyes, leaned to one side, and quietly waited for the words of the person in front of him.

"Mr. Valentine."

Leonard bowed to him and then sat on the chair opposite him, but he was a little reserved.

He was silent for a moment, then he took a deep breath, and then spoke in a low voice.

“I used to believe a lot in Europe, Europe made me a lot of money.

I think Europe is the center of civilization in the world. I also teach my daughter in a European way, so that she can be tolerant, calm, and not to conflict with others.

She is also very sensible, never makes a fuss with others, and is elegant in everything she does.

I sent them to aristocratic schools in Europe, hoping they would get the best education there. "

Leonard's throat moved and he continued.

“A month ago, my daughter was bullied in the toilet at school.

There was no reason, but perhaps the biggest reason was that she was Brittanian.

She was pushed into the toilet and her dignity was trampled on.

She didn't dare to resist. My education made her cowardly, and she didn't even dare to tell us. "

Leonard's eyes were a little red.

"But this also made the Germans more aggressive and they beat my daughter like a sandbag.

By the time I got to the hospital, her ears could no longer hear. "

Leonard's words were slightly choked.

“She loved to sing, her voice was like a lark, and she kept telling me that she wanted to be a great singer.

I consider her my most precious jewel.

But now, she can no longer be bright. "

Leonard raised his hand and wiped his tears. .

"sorry."

Hart raised his hand to signal, and the waiter on the side handed him a glass of water.

Leonard took the cup and drank all the water in it, and then he said slowly.

“I went to the law enforcers, but they weren’t even tried.

Because it was a school for nobles, either high-ranking officials or nobles, no one dared to go in and arrest people.

I angrily tried to argue with them, but was beaten to the ground by their bodyguards. "

Leonard pointed at his face with red eyes, "Their boots were just stepping on my face, and they were even laughing at me.

Laughing at my Brittania identity.

So I told my wife that in order to seek justice, I must go to Mr. Valentine. "

Hart put his hand on the armrest and said calmly in the darkness.

"Before you go to the law enforcer, why don't you come to me first?"

Leonard was silent for a moment and said.

"What do you want me to do?

No matter what you ask, I beg you to do this for me. "

"help you with what?"

Leonard stood up from his seat, came to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Hart raised his head and leaned on the backrest, waved his hand and said.

"Then I can't do it."

Leonard put his hands on the table, "I can give you whatever you want. I have many ships that can help you transport goods."

Hart lowered his head, touched the cat in his hand, and then said in a low voice.

"We have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time you have come to me for help."

Hart raised his head and looked at Leonard.

"I don't remember the last time you came to me to reminisce. Besides, my wife is your daughter's godmother."

He played with the cat's fur.

"I confess that you have never wanted my friendship, and moreover, you are afraid of owing me a favor."

"I just don't want to get in trouble," Leonard said.

"I understand." Hart raised his head, "You made money in Europe and lived a good life. The law enforcers will protect you. You don't need a friend like me from your hometown at all.

But now, you come to me and say:

Mr. Valentine, please help me find justice for you.

But you have no respect for me at all, and you don’t treat me as a friend. "

He looked at Leonard quietly, his eyes quiet and deep.

"You don't even want to call me godfather."

Hart opened the cigar box placed on the table, and the attendant on the side came over and lit a cigar for Hart. The thick smoke filled his face, making his face even more hazy.

“You even paid me to kill someone for you on my niece’s wedding day.

You know, my niece doesn't want to see blood. "

"I just want justice." Leonard said, shrinking his head.

"That's not justice," Hart said. "Your daughter didn't die."

"Then let them be tortured like her." Leonard said in a low voice with red eyes, "How much should I pay you?"

The corners of Hart's mouth turned down slightly. He put the cat on the ground, then slowly stood up and took a few steps. He stood behind the screen window, but the shadow shrouded his whole body.

"Leonard, Leonard."

Hart looked at Leonard, with a calm look in his eyes.

"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"

He walked slowly to Leonard.

“If you come to me as a friend.

Then those idiots who hurt your daughter will pay the price they deserve.

You are also a Sassilian.

The enemy of an honest and kind person like you is also my enemy. "

Leonard looked at Hart, he swallowed slightly and asked tentatively.

"As your friend?"

Hart took a sip from the cigar in his hand. Clouds of mist surrounded him. He didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

Leonard pursed his lips and slowly lowered his head towards him.

"Godfather."
