Chapter 132

Three days ago, the South Islands, Hongbei Bay.

Although the mainland has entered autumn, the islands in the south are still warm. On the white sand beach, the sea water is light blue and clear, and the underwater shells can still be clearly seen in the afternoon sun.

The inner shell is white, and the outer shell is light red like a rose, like a wavy shell, with different colors, which looks very beautiful.

In the early years, the island was named for its rich production of this light red shell. Later, because of its good location, it became an important transit station in the western part of the southern islands.

On the island, there are not only many ports with large flow of people, but also rows of white houses on the quieter northern hillside. These houses are not high and built close to the mountain, behind the mountain, so as to avoid being directly blown by the strong sea breeze. Many coconut trees are also planted around the house, which is a common local cash crop.

In a larger house, Mrs. balya was sitting at a table teaching her children. In her hand, she was holding a story book with beautiful color drawings. Next to her was Iger, the little boy whom Angus had entrusted.

He opened his eyes to the color drawings and heard his mother read:

"Then the girl in the black skirt lit the candle in her hand."

"She said to the boy, even so, do you want to revive your parents?"

"Yes, it's all my fault. I was too willful that day. I didn't say goodbye to them until the end. I want to see them again."

"So the candle in the girl's hand burned, and two figures floated in front of the boy. They welcomed the boy back with a smile on their faces."

"In this way, the boy holding his parents, in their arms forever sleep in the past, never wake up."

"Well, that's the end of the story. What do you get from this story, egger? "

Mrs. balya smiles and touches the child's head. At this time, she looks like a different person than before. She looks serene, her eyes are full of love, and even her chestnut hair becomes shiny

"Well... I don't quite understand, but it doesn't seem to have a good ending."

"Yes, this story is to tell us that we should cherish the people and things in front of us, and don't wait until we lose them to regret."

"Often the closest, and the most easily forgotten."

"Well, I see, mom." Iger nodded.

"All right, Iger. In fact, this story also metaphors some things, that is, parents will eventually grow old and leave their children, and you will eventually learn to face everything, and remember not to indulge in the illusions of the past like the boy in the book. "

"Will mother be old, too?"

"Yes, so Iger wants to grow up quickly."

"I will."

At this time, the door was pushed open. The white sun came in in the afternoon. A tall figure appeared at the door. He came in and said.

"Excuse me, Mrs. balya, and Igor."

"Ah, it's uncle Ceres. Here you are."

The little boy ran over. Ceres often brought something for his mother and son, and lived not far from here.

"Mr. Ceres?"

Mrs. valya stood up and said hello. She was very grateful to her husband's comrade in arms. Recently, she helped her a lot, such as finding a house, arranging furniture and inviting teachers. All these were done by the former housekeeper.

"Well, it's me." Ceres crouched down and hugged Iger, then responded to Mrs. valya's greeting.

"I have something to say today. Next, I will leave Hongbei bay for a period of time. When I am away, if Mrs. Baya or little Iger have any difficulties, I can contact the fruit shop directly“

"The manager and staff of the shop are all from our caritis chamber of Commerce. I have already agreed with them in advance that they will help you if necessary."

"Yes, thank you, and miss Lacey of caritus."

Mrs. balya said gratefully, with a slight bow.

"Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"

"It's on the other islands in the South Islands. If it's dangerous, I'm ok. I'm just worried about the eldest lady."

Ceres sighed, then said goodbye.

The next day, Keran island.

The tide of the seaside constantly washes the coast and beats the blue reef on the shore. There are many holes on the reef, which are wetted by super water. Occasionally, there are several seabirds standing on the delicate rocks, and some even have small fish in their mouths.

The island is a dense forest, green canopy, there are some towers from the forest, overlooking the island.

Ceres sat patiently outside a luxurious and low-key mahogany door.

An apprentice mage opened the door. He was wearing a light blue mage robe and a blue gradually changing feather headdress on his head.

"Master Theodore has agreed to your request. Please follow me. Don't scream or touch anything you see on the road."

"I understand." Ceres got up to follow and entered the gate.

Sunlight from the thick glass into the room, stacked books, copper cages, experimental instruments placed in the room is very quiet.

"Fool, Vincent, fool, Vincent." A strange voice suddenly sounded on the top of my head.

Ceres looked up and saw a blue bird standing in the cage, talking.

"Don't worry about him, he can only say that." The apprentice explained.

"Fool, Vincent, they just treat you as a dog, and you wag your tail every day."

Ceres looked at the bird again. Is it Warcraft? It's so smart. It's metaphorical.

"Shut up

In front of the apprentice some stretch not to live, directly a silent border, so that the bird can not make a sound.

But the bird is really smart. It jumps to and fro, flapping its wings to break the boundary, and then it makes a sound.

"Waste, Vincent, don't even dare to kill chickens, waste, Vincent."

The apprentice in front of him browed, walked quickly, and didn't speak any more.

Ceres did not dare to speak at will, for fear of arousing the dislike of the apprentice. Although the apprentice mage was not strong, it would not be too easy to make a stumbling block for himself.

"Here we are." The apprentice in front stopped and knocked on the door.

"Come in, please“ A strong voice came from behind the door.

When Ceres went in, a mage sat behind his desk. The sun was shining from the window behind him. For a moment, he couldn't see each other's face clearly.

"You are Mr. Ceres, the representative of calites."

"Yes, on behalf of Lord Lacey, the successor of the chamber of Commerce of Carites."

"Well, please have a seat."

Said the mage.

"I have seen the letter you handed me and the application to the Council, and I discussed this with my colleagues yesterday“

"Although most of the descriptions in the letter are true, they can correspond to the information we know."

"But there are still some key things that need to be verified, because once we go out, it's bound to touch the interests of Xuehua United."

"This will undoubtedly break many things, such as our previous position and the future situation."

"I understand what you said. It's something I prepared in advance."

Ceres took out the paper bag under his arm, which contained not only the formal agreement of caritus, but also the letter of introduction from Mr. jagdilingjia, Mr. jelinck, and the posthumous letter left by Angus.

After presenting all these to the opposite mage, he began to check them one by one, such as the pattern on the contract paper, the extraordinary mark, and the content of the agreement.

After a long time, he raised his head. The healthy mage pushed his eyes and said.

"You are well prepared. Although the agreement does not benefit us a lot, it is also above the bottom line that we recognize."

"I have to say Angus did find a good successor."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"It's nothing."

"After that, I will put forward these materials and proposals at the meeting. After discussion, members will decide whether to implement them."

"How long will it take?" Ceres is a little anxious. After all, the situation is very tense.

"Don't worry, there will be a meeting this afternoon. After the decision is made, it will be implemented tomorrow."

"How about tonight?" Asked Ceres.

The old mage knocked on the table and then answered.

"You seem to be in a hurry."

"That's fine. I'll rush the people concerned."

"Thank you very much, master Theodore, the cartes chamber of Commerce and I will remember your kindness." At last, Ceres breathed a sigh of relief and cried out his thanks.

"It's not necessary to do that. It can be regarded as a reward to Mr. Angus. The materials and ancient instruments he gave us at that time have changed a lot and are of great help to the whole country. The reward given to him before is still too little. It can be regarded as a remedy."

That afternoon, Ceres had been walking in front of a tall building.

At dusk, under the huge stone pillar with a height of nearly 100 meters, a huge door for 20 people to pass side by side was opened, and a mage in different clothes came out. They had all kinds of decorations, but they were inclined to the natural style, such as feathers, branches and leaves, shells, flowers, fur, wood carvings and so on.

At this time, Ceres finally waited for master Theodore. He walked behind, with short black hair and calm.

After seeing Ceres, he was not surprised, but said.

"Say hello to miss Lacey, the new owner of caritus. The first phase of the Council of the young moon and the red berry kingdom will start tonight."

Ceres was a little excited to express his thanks, and then that night, he was taken to another island by several mages.

This island seems a bit wild, is a volcanic island, the center is still emitting black smoke, the island is also full of hot breath.

"Are you going back to Hopland with me?" Asked a mage.

"Yes, some things are better communicated in this way."

"Well, now you're seated."

As the voice of the mage fell, a huge shadow flapped its wings and slowly fell down, stopping in front of him. Then more wings flapped in the sky.
