Chapter 69

At the door of the Dambullar restaurant, the waiter opened the car door respectfully, and Ryan sat on it.

Viola asked with a smile: "Come out so soon, don't you want to chat with your old lover?"

"She's just a classmate, what kind of lover." Ren explained calmly, holding her hand, and said with a smile, "I only have one lover, and that is you."

Viola nodded her head in satisfaction, and keenly noticed that Ren seemed to have something on her mind. She approached and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Daisia ​​mentioned my younger brother, he has entered the Extraordinary Academy." Ren said frankly: "I have a bad relationship with my father now, and I haven't seen my family for a long time. But this is just a trivial matter, and I will find someone in the future It's time to go back and tell my father to open it."

"If you need help, just tell me." Viola looked concerned.

Ren laughed, "I will."

The car was driving fast on the street. This car was dedicated to Viola. Ren asked the driver to take him to his apartment in Los Angeles.

The car was parked under the apartment building, attracting the attention of many workers who had just got off work.

Most of the people who live on Corsham Street are foreign tenants, and the economy is not well off. Cars representing the upper class rarely drive here, and it is still at night.

Viola looked out the window, shook her head and said, "So you live on Corsham Street, and this is my first time here."

There was no contempt in her words, but she felt a little novelty.

Ren smiled indifferently and said, "For ordinary people, it is very good to have an apartment to live in. I was just a poor student before. Should I rent a house in Yinxing District?"

"That's right." Viola was not ignorant of the sufferings of ordinary people, and looked at Ren, "I couldn't afford to live in the past, but now that you have money, you can live in it, right? Would you like me to help you find a good house in the Silver Star District?"

She knew that Ren recently made a fortune with the master demon hunter and joined the demon extermination team. The salary is not low, and no matter how expensive the houses in Silver Star District are, they can still afford it.

If it wasn't for the fear of hurting Ren's self-esteem, she would have given Ren a house.

It's just a few hundred gold shields.

Compared with the song "Viola by the Lake" that Ryan gave himself, it is really nothing to mention.

Ren thought about it carefully, and this apartment can indeed be retired. Recently, he basically spent the night at the Basil Hotel to practice, and now he rarely comes back.

You can also rent a house in Yinxing District, which will be convenient for you to do anything in the future.

"Then I'll trouble you." Ren didn't be polite to Viola, and agreed directly.

The two stayed in the car for a while, because they had just confirmed their relationship for a few hours, and suddenly they were reluctant to part.

Viola was not a shy person, so he had an idea immediately, and said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Dongting Lake for two days! Autumn is coming, and it is the most beautiful time of the year in Dongting Lake. The inspiration for the first "Dance in the Lake" comes from Dongting Lake, and I go to the autumn tour a few times every year, will you come with me this time?"

It's early September, the summer of the empire is over and autumn is about to enter.

Ren has never been to Winter Ting Lake, and after hearing what Viola said, he immediately became interested, and said with a smile, "Okay, but how do we go?"

"Of course it's a steam yacht. There are several private yachts in the family. I'll get someone to arrange them when I go back, and I'll set off tomorrow." Viola was quite looking forward to it, and said happily: "You don't need to prepare anything, and you will arrive at the Silver Star Wharf tomorrow morning Just get on board."

"All at your disposal."

Ren didn't dawdle any longer, kissed Viola lightly on the cheek, bid farewell to get out of the car.

The car drove away quickly, and he noticed that there were many pedestrians nearby, and behind the upstairs windows, there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, talking in a low voice.

"I can't live here anymore, it's too eye-catching." Ren muttered and walked into the apartment.

The next day, before dawn, Ren got up to wash up and began to meditate. When he finished his meditation, it happened to be early in the morning. He put on new clothes and went out to the Basil Hotel.

Viola said that she would go on an autumn outing, and the arrangements would be very thorough, but Ren didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

He went to the Basil Hotel, took his fine iron warhammer and shotgun, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and then got on the carriage to the pier.

Arriving at the pier in the Silver Star District, Ren found the steam yacht at a glance.

A white ship is docked on the shore. It is about 50 meters long and has three decks from top to bottom. Although it is powered by steam, it is still equipped with tall sails. The overall design is like a big shuttle, with smooth lines and full of Artistic beauty.

There is a very conspicuous emblem on each side of the hull, seven stars circled around a silver flame, this is the family emblem of the Silvery family.

Maybe people in other parts of the empire don't know it, but in Longshande, no one dares to disrespect it.

The people on the pier looked at the yacht from afar, their eyes full of awe and envy.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper stood on the deck, directing a group of servants to decorate the yacht and move many things from the dock to the ship.

Ren didn't see Viola, she should be in the cabin.

He walked towards the boarding ladder, where two guards in armor stood guard. Seeing Ren, one of them took the initiative to greet him and asked respectfully, "Is this Mr. Ren?"

"It's me." Ren thought to himself, Viola really arranged it very well, and even sent someone to greet him at the pier.

"Mr. Ryan, please come aboard with me." The guard immediately took Ryan up.

The eyes of the people on the boat were attracted, and they looked at Ren quietly and whispered one by one.

They were all servants of the Duke's family. They knew that Miss Viola was going out for an autumn outing with her friends today. I heard that he was a young man, and he was the only one invited.

This is tantamount to announcing that Miss Viola finally has a lover!

Everyone is guessing who this lucky guy is, and now seeing the real person, their eyes light up. At least in terms of appearance, this young gentleman is worthy of Miss Viola.

Being stared at by so many people, Ren's face remained normal. He had expected such a day.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Viola appeared in front of him, and he naturally came over to hold Ren's arm, and said with a smile, "You're here, have you had breakfast yet?"

"not yet."

"Then you came just in time. I made some burritos and juice myself." Viola was wearing loose clothes today, casual and decent, her long blond hair was casually tied behind her head, revealing her small pointed ears. Cover up her beauty, but do not have some fun at home.

"Then I'll have a good taste." Ren put the cloth bag in his hand on the cabin floor and made a soft noise.

Viola guessed that it was Ren's weapon inside, so he ignored it, and just dragged Ren to the second deck.

Here is a small set of tables and chairs, with a vase of flowers on the table, and the surrounding railings are also decorated with gauze, decorating the deck as a balcony.

Looking up, I saw a set of luxurious sofas on the wide deck of the highest floor, and a key organ next to it. I don't know how it was moved to the ship.

Ren could only sigh that rich people really enjoy it, and then sat down.

Viola served breakfast, and Ren was indeed a little hungry, so he took it and ate it.

It has to be said that Viola's cooking skills are quite good, and this is the most delicious breakfast that Rennes has eaten since he traveled to Ellen Erth.

And it also represented Viola's heart, he ate with relish.

Viola also sat down to eat, but her posture was elegant and unaffected, in stark contrast to Ryan's wolfing down.

Not long after, the servants moved all the things needed for the autumn tour to the yacht, and then followed the steward to evacuate, leaving only three or four waiting in the cabin and two guards.

The yacht moved quickly, left the pier, and headed north along the Felegren River.

The Felegren River is the largest river in the Dukedom. It divides Longshande into two, and flows from south to north. From Longshande to Dongting Lake, the distance is not far, only more than 200 miles.

The unit of distance in the Orienser Empire, "li" is also called "bow li". It takes the distance of a legendary ranger shooting an arrow with all his strength as the standard, and it is divided into a thousand steps. One step is three feet, and one foot is ten inches.

Ren made a comparison and conversion, and one mile of the empire is almost equal to 900 meters on the earth.

Dongting Lake is not too far from Longshande, with the speed of this steam yacht, it can be reached in three to four hours.

The yacht quickly sailed out of the urban area. When the boats passed by on the river, many people cast curious eyes upon seeing the yacht.

Ren was sitting on the sofa on the top deck, playing casually on the organ.

Viola didn't want to be too ostentatious, so she put on a straw hat and lowered a layer of white veil from the edge to cover her face.

Today's sky is a clear blue, the sun is not too hot, comfortable and pleasant.

The water of the Felegren River is not turbulent, and there are no very steep mountains on both sides. It is relatively flat. At a glance, there is an endless field scenery. The fresh river wind blows across the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

The yacht's pilot and servants stayed in the cabin below to rest, and did not come up to disturb Ren and Viola, allowing them to enjoy the world of two.

Along the way, he enjoyed the scenery of the river bank, ate delicious food and fruits, and was accompanied by beauties. Ren felt very comfortable.

Before I knew it, half a day passed.

"Winter Ting Lake has arrived."

Viola pointed to the water surface extending ahead, and said briskly.

The yacht continued to move forward, and soon entered a huge lake. Its shore could not be seen at all. If it weren't for the clear and tranquil lake surface, the lake was as green as blue, and there were exquisite islands and hills dotted in the distance, it would have been thought that it was at sea.

"Where are we going?" Ren looked back and asked, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains.

"It's not going to Winter Ting City anyway." Viola has been here many times, and she has already made plans for the autumn tour, and said: "We will go to the middle of the lake, where there is a small island full of red spruces, which is very beautiful. Not many people go there to play.”

More than an hour later, the yacht arrived at its destination and docked on the shore of an island.

Looking around, this small island is undulating, covered with tens of thousands of tall red spruces, and the leaves are dyed red by autumn.

The autumn wind blew, the trees swayed, and the large red leaves fluctuated like waves.

In this situation, Ryan really wanted to chant a poem.

There are a few suitable poems in his personal library that can be copied, but he doesn't know how to translate them into Orion, and it is too difficult to translate ancient poems.

After holding back for a long time, Ren finally said: "Oh, it's so beautiful!"

Viola almost spit out the juice in her mouth, and finally managed not to lose her composure.

She held back her smile and said, "We have arrived at Winter Ting Lake, shouldn't you play 'Viola by the Lake' to express it? I even brought the organ."

"So that's what you came up with."

Ren smiled helplessly, but did not refuse. In such a beautiful lake, it is really suitable to play this piece, it matches very well.

He sat down in front of the organ, breathed in lightly, and danced his hands and fingers. The beautiful melody poured out from between his fingers, rippling circles on the surface of the lake.

Viola stared at Ren intently, listening intently, her eyes filled with joy and pleasure.

As soon as the song fell, she applauded enthusiastically: "You played it really well, I like this song so much, Ryan, thank you."

"You can also come over and play it for me to listen to." Ren stepped aside from his seat.

"Okay." Viola stood up.

Ryan leaned against the railing, ready to enjoy her performance.

At this time, a maid came up with a plate in both hands, and there were fruits and food on the plate. She lowered her head slightly and stepped on the stairs to the top deck, ready to put the plate on the table.

Ren glanced at the maid, and suddenly felt that she was a little strange. It was not this maid who brought the food up before, and subconsciously opened the eye of the soul.

The maid's head becomes ethereal, showing a spirit state.

"Level 4 Gunner!"

Ren's expression changed wildly. Before he could remind him, the unknown gunman lifted the dinner plate, revealed a soul gun full of runes, and shot Viola.

In the blink of an eye, Ren jumped forward without hesitation, blocked Viola with his body, and at the same time turned on the body of steel with all his strength.

boom!

A loud gunshot was heard over the lake.
