Chapter 321 Jane’s request, set off for the [Cold Sea]!
[Federal Library]
Due to the [Federal Convocation Order], most people on [Liu Li Island] are busy dealing with the possible world-destroying flood.
The large library, which is already deserted on weekdays, is even more uninterested.
It was also under this circumstance that Xia En met the librarian Jane Vivian again.
This elegant and wise half-elf old man was organizing the books on the bookshelf as usual.
Jian was not surprised to see Xia En arriving and said.
“Are you leaving [Liu Li Island]?”
This old woman has the wisdom accumulated over time, and she can see the purpose of Xia En’s visit at a glance.
“Yes, tomorrow.”
Xia En nodded and said: "We've almost done everything we have to do, and it's time to leave."
"And tomorrow happens to be the day when the large-scale teleportation ritual opens."
“It is better to choose a day than to hit it, otherwise you will have to wait another week if you miss it.”
Because of Jane’s previous free help and her commitment to stick to hundreds of people in the big library year behavior.
Xia En has always respected Jane, so he would answer her questions in detail.
Hearing this, Jian thought for a moment and said as if he had made a major decision.
"In this case, I have a merciless request, and I hope Captain Xia En can agree."
Xia En was a little surprised: "What is the request?"
" As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
Just the help that Jian interpreted those three sentences for Xia En was enough for him to make such a promise.
Those words directly gave Xia En a deeper understanding of history and the past.
More importantly, Xia En also learned the truth that the ancient dragon clan has not yet perished!
This means that Laila and the elves still have a chance to survive.
Although it is only a possibility, whether there is this hope or not gives people a completely different feeling.
However, Xia En was also a little curious, what could be the request that Jane could make so solemnly?
Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if I boasted about Haikou but couldn't finish it in the end?
As if seeing Xia En's thoughts, Jane smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a very difficult request.”
“Rather, the difficulty lies in making up my mind.”
Hearing this , Xia En was even more confused: "What on earth is going on?"
Jane still just said lightly: "You'll know when you wait until tomorrow."
The corner of Xia En's mouth twitched.
Why is it so mysterious?
But Jane is an elder after all, and Xia En cannot directly question her, so he can only say goodbye and leave.
After Xia En left, Jane looked up at the bookshelves around her and walked slowly through them.
She stretched out her fingers and stroked them on the covers of books that were almost as old as herself.
The past events gradually came to mind.
Including the appearance of the [Federal Grand Library] when it was first established, as well as the people who have met in the library and the books that have been read.
The half-elf woman couldn't help but have a look of reminiscence and nostalgia on her face, and she whispered to herself.
“It turns out that so long has passed...”
Woohoo...
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the closed library, making a strange whimpering sound.
Weeping and complaining, with a bit of sadness.
All things have animism, and this [Federal Library], which carries countless ancient books and history, has naturally given birth to its own spirituality over the long years.
At this time, most likely because they sensed a certain decision that Jane was about to make, the entire library also expressed feelings of reluctance and resentment.
"Can't you bear to leave me?"
Jian looked up at the dome of the great library and smiled: "Actually, I can't bear to leave you, old friend."
"However, the world will never be separated. Where is the banquet?”
“And don’t worry, I will come back one day.”
“Please take good care of the child I chose during my absence. .”
The gentle sound of wind sounded from all around again, as if granting Jane's request.
And Jane slowly walked to the door of the secret room.
Press the button and push the door open.
Compared with the last time I came here, the furnishings in the entire secret room have become much cleaner and tidier. Many equipments have been put away, as if they have been carefully sorted and cleaned.
"Ms. Administrator, you, you are back!"
At this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito rang from the side.
This is a girl with glasses and plain and rustic clothes. At first glance, she is the type who is easily shy and afraid of strangers.
"Mia, do you still call me Ms. Administrator?"
Jian smiled softly and said softly: "From tomorrow on, you will be the administrator of this library."
The girl known as Mia was still in disbelief and asked: "Management...Ms. Jane, do you really want to leave?"
Jane nodded: "The previous promises have bound me for too long."
"Now that the agreement has been reached and the shackles of the past have been lifted, it is time for me to visit other places in the Seven Seas."< br>
Mia was not used to facing such a soft-spoken administrator lady.
On weekdays, even when facing her, Jane had a cold and pure attitude, with a hint of alienation.
But when she thought that these might be the last few words Jane left before leaving, Mia felt a little bitter inexplicably.
"But, Ms. Jane, why did you choose me as the next heir?"
Mia asked in a low voice with a bit of inferiority complex in her tone of confusion.
"I'm obviously very ordinary...I'm not good-looking, I'm weak, and I don't have any connections. There should be many other more suitable candidates, right?"
[Federal Grand Library 】The position of administrator has not changed in hundreds of years.
But if there is a change, it will undoubtedly attract many applicants.
Just the name [Federal Great Library] can make countless scholars flock to it.
This is both an asset and an honor.
Because of this, Mia is confused about Jane's choice.
"Actually, the reason is very simple."
Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jane showed great patience and explained softly: "Just because..."
"You are very similar to me when I was young, that's all."
"Ms. Administrator when I was young...how is that possible?"
Mia's first reaction was disbelief.
Because in her impression, Jane always looked cold, calm and intellectual, as if she could solve any difficulties with ease.
Even when faced with powerful figures in the federation, Jane still refused to flatter or give in. On the contrary, the other party had to lower her stance.
To be honest, Jane has always been Mia's idol.
That’s why she didn’t believe it.
“Why don’t you believe me?”
Jian said with a smile: “I used to be very timid. I would be shy when people stared at me. All I could think about was studying.”
“I have been laughed at a lot for this.”
"It's just that things slowly change as we grow older."
"I believe that as long as I give you a chance, you can grow into someone who can stand on your own, and maybe even better than me."
Hearing these words, Mia's eyes widened slightly: "Ms. Administrator..."
She wiped away her tears and said seriously: "I will definitely do a good job! Try to live up to your expectations! "I will definitely wait until the day you come back."
"Okay."
Jian nodded: "Then...this is my agreement with you."
"By the way, the reason why I usually treat you and other people very The coldness is actually because I have lived too long and experienced too many joys and sorrows. "
"So I don't want to establish new bonds and connections. It can be said that I am already a little afraid of separation, right? ”
“Usually, I’m really sorry.”
This can be said to be a kind of sadness for the immortal species.
They had just established a relationship with the short-lived species, but in the blink of an eye, the other person had already left the world.
Because I am afraid of separation, I use a cold and hard appearance to isolate myself from others.
But at this time, Jane also wanted to try to make some changes.
……
…
The other side.
Shane arrived at the gate of the Moriarty family's manor.
On weekdays, it was Daisy and her brother who took the initiative to discuss business matters with him.
It was also the first time for Shane to visit Moriarty's manor like this.
It has to be said that although the Moriarty family has declined a bit due to the disappearance of the ancestor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The vastness of this manor can be said to be something Xia En has never seen before.
Inside the black hollow iron gate are tall and neat white buildings and a wide and beautiful courtyard.
The reliefs and murals on the walls are full of history, and there seems to be a large field in the distance.
Being able to own such a manor on [Liu Li Island], where land is extremely valuable, shows how wealthy the Moriarty family is.
It was only after seeing this manor that Xia En had the real feeling that "it turns out that Daisy and Alessio are truly children of a big family."
After all, in these days of getting along.
The two people's attitude towards Xia En has completed the transformation from curiosity and some contempt, to equal communication, to extraordinary admiration and vague worship.
So, he almost forgot that the two siblings were children of a big family.
Xia En was just about to explain his purpose to the waiter guarding the door, when he heard the waiter speaking on his own initiative.
"Is this Mr. Shane? Please come in."
"Miss Daisy has already given instructions that you will be treated as a distinguished guest of the Moriarty family, and you can enter and exit the manor at will."
" Oh? Okay.”
Shane still appreciates Daisy’s thoughtfulness in details.
It was just that her behavior was a little too frivolous in some aspects, which made Xia En feel a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Daisy is in the manor. I'm going to report to her right now. Sir, please wait in the waiting room for a moment."
It didn't take long for the waiter to bring Xia En through the door and receive the In a waiting room.
Xia En was a little surprised.
Along the way, the maids in the manor seemed to recognize his identity and whispered in low voices.
“Is that Captain Shane of [Black Swan]?”
"Sure enough, he is as good-looking as the rumors!"
"It is said that even the administrator of the [Federal Library] treats him differently!"
In fact, in Xia En Without even realizing it, he had already gained quite a reputation on [Liu Li Island].
On the one hand, the previous deeds of fighting out of the vampire encirclement and piercing three warships gradually unfolded.
Coupled with the special treatment given by Jane, the librarian, Xia En is shrouded in mystery.
On the other hand, even if Daisy and her brother are acting as "smoke bombs" in front of the stage.
But so many novel materials have flowed into the market, and the two people's wanton acquisition of shipbuilding materials will inevitably attract some people. of attention.
Especially in Moriarty Manor, the servants also have their own guesses about this matter.
Among them, Xia En, who has been in close contact with Miss Daisy recently, may be related to this series of events.
No wonder they are curious about Xia En.
Not long after.
Daisy rushed to Xia En in a hurry.
With her signature charming smile on her face, she said: "Captain Xia En, why are you free to come to our manor as a guest today?"
Xia En said directly: "Actually... …I will leave [Liuli Island] soon and head to [Lenglie Sea]”
“…Huh?”
Daisy was stunned for a moment and said: "It's so fast..."
Her surprised and sad expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled: "...Haha, do you think I would say that? "
"You want to catch up with the teleportation circle tomorrow, right?"
"To be honest, my [Qingfeng] and I are also going to [Lenglie Sea] 】"
"Huh?"
After hearing the news, Xia En looked surprised.
"Is it just you, or is your brother going too?"
Daisi said frankly: "Let's go together."
"Hiss..."
Shane was quite shocked by this decision of the Moriarty family.
As far as he knew, there were only two direct young people of Moriarty's generation, Daisy and her brother.
It’s understandable to send one person, but if two people go, wouldn’t the situation be very serious if something unexpected happens?
"The Moriarty family has never been afraid of sacrifice."
Daisi said in a serious tone: "This is the ancestral motto of our family."
" Don’t look at me like this, I still have the blood of Moriarty.”
"Besides, my parents are still young. Even if we have an accident, they can have a few more children."
"As for my cousins, in fact, they have no desire for power. So strong.”
Hearing this, Xia En couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
After the [Federal Chief] disappeared, the Moriarty family still did not decline completely, but maintained a certain vitality. Sure enough, it was not without reason.
Daisi continued: "What's more, isn't there Captain Shane!"
"If you are here, you will definitely bring us back safely, right?"
Xia En can only say: "I will try my best."
His original intention is to be with Daisy and his brother Say your goodbyes and take care of the last few transactions of your trade.
But now that we are leaving together, there is no need to say anything more.
……
……
The next morning.
The port of [Liuli Island].
Xia En waited for Jane's visit on the [Black Swan].
The old woman was carrying a suitcase, wearing a black gauze skirt and a top hat, and said gently.
"My request is... I want to stay on your ship for a while, and at the same time go to the [Cold Sea] to see the scenery of the Far North."
"Captain Shane, are you willing? Will you accept me as a crew member temporarily?”
