Old-time musicians

"Master Fan Ning, originally you came here, uh, to have a good drink with you. But this injury, uh, I'm sorry to see it like this. It's really worrying. I hope you recover soon."

"Master, the ship was frightened and bumpy with wind and waves. There is really no need to rush on our way. There is still more than a month before the festival."

"Mr. Fan Ning, this is a rare opportunity. Do you really not want to go to the Turner Art Theater in Elisha County to guide the work? It will only take half a day tomorrow. In fact, we still have several small art galleries in small towns. There are also some highlights.”

The banquet hall next to Elisha Port is brightly lit and the atmosphere is harmonious, with glasses being exchanged.

But if you consider that the main seat is a person wearing a wheelchair, this style of painting is actually a bit strange.

After the person who reported the news got in touch with the senior officials of San Porto, the church immediately gave a reply:

Control how far this extra information gets spread! The local clergy boarded the ship first and brought the staff under control! The headquarters immediately sent higher-level people to greet them on the way, and try to make the trip to the Holy City of the Old Symphony Orchestra as slow as possible!

Although it is said that there are too many "Crescent Moons" and "Forged Lions" coming to Janus to participate in the Harvest Art Festival, and the church cannot receive them all strictly according to the specifications, but now there is actually a "Crescent Moon" who has been beaten Being in a wheelchair is a big deal!

The follow-up instructions and dispatch from the headquarters are particularly intensive.

As for the local government, even without these instructions, out of selfish calculations, the priest and mayor wanted to ask Master Fan Ning to "inspect and inspect" several locations in the next few days.

As a result, he naturally tried his best to retain her.

It's a pity that Master Fan Ning doesn't appreciate it.

I wasted all my efforts on the local area, knew the itinerary half a month in advance, and made countless preparations, but now it all came to nothing.

After taking a sip of the vegetarian porridge from the spoon fed by Xilan, Fan Ning smiled lightly: "Everyone, I just wanted to have a light meal. I'm passing by to disturb you."

At this point, the mayor and the priest had no choice but to stay.

What should I do? I blame myself for this bad luck.

At least the other party's attitude after eating this meal was considered mild, and he did not vent his anger on himself, or cast a bad impression on Janus as a whole.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be in the mood to open my mouth to speak.

So the entire old symphony orchestra team led by Fan Ning continued on their way to San Perto that night.

The main means of transportation for traveling is chartered trains, and horse-drawn carriages are temporarily used in areas where trains are not accessible.

When we reached the Puntua County area, we took the water route again and switched to a fleet of steam ferries in the canal.

The band also stopped at some places along the way and was warmly received by the local church and municipal leaders. However, Fan Ning also just had a "working meal". Although his behavior was gentle, he did not show any in-depth chat or hanging out. interest.

——This attitude was reported by a series of messengers from the church. St. Perto felt that Master Fan Ning was still suppressing his anger.

Regarding the deeper secrets of the incident, many senior officials of official organizations have also begun to speculate in different versions.

In this way, we walked more and stopped less along the way. The "travel-style rush" plan that everyone originally envisioned after arriving in the Western Continent became a real rush.

Within a few days, the steamboat procession arrived in the lowland Laubkin Parish of Pontua County.

Walking along the canal through the market town area, everyone saw scrap steel bars, piles of rubble, newly built simple houses all over the small town, and residents scraping vegetables and washing clothes in the puddles of shells.

When Fan Ning saw this scene, he was a little emotional.

He has been to this place before, but now the war has fallen into a pointless stalemate with no idea of ​​when it will end. The "war rear" scene in the small town and the living conditions of the residents are the same as they were nearly two years ago.

However, the one-armed old priest Durk, who had met and followed him here, was now left in the Abnormal Zone forever.

The line of steam ferries slowed down as they approached the dock port.

From a distance, Fan Ning saw the queue of backup carriages waiting on the shore, as well as the waiting groups of people in twos and threes.

It's very strange, the combination of this wave of people is very strange. Fanning and Sheeran's eyes flashed with surprise at the same time, and then brightened again.

They actually saw Lasus.

This old fox who was the supervisory partner of Ufranser and Owen, a musicologist with a profound understanding of Xiaoxiao, actually crossed the ocean and came here almost simultaneously with him. At this time, he brought several investigators with him, staring at him with slightly narrowed eyes. .

There is another group of people, led by two people. One is a middle-aged man with a thin body, clenched fists, long eyebrows, and a white robe with patterns of burning sun. The other is a silver-haired old man with a kind face, wearing high-profile glasses and a cross necklace. In his hand is a copy of the Gospel of Lavoisier.

These two people Fan Ning once "acquainted" with were the presiding judge of the Inquisition, Melaltin, and Cardinal Richelieu of the Western Continent!

The second and third most important people in the church came over after hearing the news!

Some local officials and clergymen stood back and did not dare to speak out.

As for the other girl who stood slightly distanced from the church group

Tall, with tied up hair, a bright yellow dress, and a colorful belt fluttering in the wind, he took steps with a look on his face.

"Senior Roy!" Xilan couldn't help shouting in surprise and joy.

In fact, it was not just Fanning. She had not seen Roy in the waking world for a very long time.

Speaking of which, this was also a delicate process of getting along. Although the two had worked together for a long time, their relationship was not so close at the beginning.

During Fanning's time at school, including the more than a year after graduation when she was developing her career, Sheeran's impression of Roy was mostly admiration and respect.

Roy generally looked at this violin genius schoolmate with appreciation, and then there was some inexplicable envy or jealousy. This feeling was not in line with the open-mindedness of a young lady from a noble family, but it was almost difficult to change it with subjective will - as the only daughter after Professor Anton's death, Sheeran felt that Fanning had a kind of care relationship with her that was almost difficult for others to achieve through "effort".

But this situation changed a little after the accident on the premiere day of "Resurrection" in 914.

Fanning is gone, and Joan is gone too.

The Turner Hall was directly handed over to Sheeran, who had no experience at the time. On the first day, the second day, and the third day, the situation became more difficult at the beginning, but Roy provided a lot of selfless support from the back.

Of course, Sheeran focused more on the headquarters and the old symphony orchestra, and later, with the expansion of the chain of theaters, a large part of this aspect was thrown into Roy's hands.

It is difficult to describe the essence of this transformation in one or two sentences, and it cannot be said that the two have no grudges on some subtle issues, but Sheeran did have a deep sense of dependence on Roy. At first, it may be one-sided, and later, this sense of dependence gradually became mutual.

But from the beginning of 1915, Roy began a 20-month journey in St. Perto. Strictly speaking, the time when Fanning pretended to be Lavoisier and got along with Roy was a little later than the time when Sheeran and her parted.

It's really been too long since we last met.

A cold and invisible wind of "wildness" blew by, and Xilan directly shuttled through the star realm, and her spirit "seen" from the front of Roy on the shore.

"Did you miss me?" Roy smiled and took her hand.

Her expression suddenly became good and gentle just now, but she was actually very anxious before.

Because when she saw Xilan, she could tell from Xilan's overall emotional state that Fanning was seriously injured, but it was probably not to the extent of "dying" or "high paraplegia".

I'm afraid that I had a stress reaction after hearing the news on the way, and I "brain supplemented" too much.

Xilan was held by Roy's hand, and just as he was about to pull her to whisper something in his ear, suddenly an inappropriate muffled sound rang in everyone's ears.

"Pop!"

The mad patrol chief Junker was tied up at some point, and then thrown out of the ferry in an arc.

It hit Laxus hard!

Xilan and Roy looked in the direction of the sound.

Melaltine, Richelieu and the clergy behind him also looked in the direction of the voice.

On the deck of the ferry, Fanning was sitting in a wheelchair, and he spoke weakly:

"Mr. Laxus, could you please help me check which secret organization this person belongs to?"
