Chapter 104 Farewell Party (Additional Chapter for the Leader "The Transcendent One of the Heavens")

Dang——

Dang——

Dang——

Suddenly, a dull and distant bell sounded.

Along with the bell sound, the screen that Gillan saw began to show noise points and black, flickering vertical spots.

‘The movie is about to end...’

Gillan realized.

‘But this time, it is no longer the air defense alarm, but the bell sound... Could it be that the prompt form will change due to the different background of the story? ’

He guessed and felt regretful at the same time.

This time, he did not gain any mysterious points from watching the movie, and Agni's mysterious swordsmanship could not be learned because the plot was too short.

Fortunately, he got three mysterious materials from the "windmill cat", which was enough to refine "green gunpowder". In addition to the equipment and potions looted from the purification team, he did not return empty-handed.

Gillan looked at the knights, the downtrodden residents, the kneeling city lord, and the captain William who was bathed in the morning light and did not look like an ordinary person.

In a blink of an eye, he was already sitting on the sofa in the utility room.

On the screen in front of him, the movie screen became a close-up of Captain William. He was smiling, riding on a tall horse, and led the Knights along the road under the gradually brightening sunshine.

On one side, the list of actors and subtitles was scrolling.

The list of behind-the-scenes personnel was the same as what I saw before, and there was no change.

And at the end, the director's curtain call speech was:

"May the darkness and haze since ancient times be illuminated by you one day."

Click.

The lights suddenly came on.

Gillan saw the stork, oystercatcher, sparrow and seagull gathered around.

"Mr. Snowy Owl, how do you feel?"

Mr. Oystercatcher smiled with curiosity.

"I heard from Miss Sparrow and Miss Seagull that you learned a body-building technique from the Knights? Have there been any changes in your body?"

"Well..." Gilan nodded and said casually: "Not bad, I feel that my strength has increased, but the time of practice is too short, and there is no particularly obvious effect."

"What a pity."

Mr. Stork shook his head.

"That kind of body-building secret technique seems to need to be paired with a special secret medicine to take effect, and the time to enter the movie each time is limited, so it is difficult to practice to a high level... Even if you practice again and again, the time and money cost is too high."

Hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed.

At the same time, the atmosphere became quiet.

Because the end of the movie means that the separation is coming.

In the future, the members of the society may be separated and never see each other again.

In the movie, they trust each other with life and death, and in reality, they watch over each other, forming this precious friendship, which makes each other a little reluctant.

"I'll let old Jerry make a sumptuous dinner for everyone."

Mr. Stork chuckled and looked at everyone.

Then he added in a low voice:

"I have a few bottles of red wine hidden in my private collection, as a farewell."

The two ladies, Sparrow and Seagull, looked at each other, suppressed their reluctance, smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

Mr. Oystercatcher laughed and pointed at Mr. Stork and said:

"So you also hid the wine, and you didn't tell me!"

"If you knew, you would probably drink it all."

Mr. Stork smiled and shook his head.

Everyone was infected by Mr. Oystercatcher's laughter and smiled.

In the afternoon, everyone in the club was drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

Old Jerry tied an apron and started busy in the kitchen, preparing dishes.

Beside the tea table, everyone talked about everything. The content had nothing to do with mystery or film, but just anecdotes of daily life, their own troubles, ideals and ambitions, and even plans and expectations for the future.

Very pure, just like an ordinary gathering of friends.

Taking advantage of the free time before dinner, Jilan talked to Mr. Stork alone.

"Mr. Stork, can you help me purchase some raw materials?"

Jilan asked directly.

"What raw materials?"

"Saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal."

"Gunpowder... explosives?!"

Mr. Stork was shocked.

He glanced to the left, and the three people in the living room were still chatting and laughing, not paying attention to this side, so he said in a deep voice:

"Are you ready to start?"

"Yeah." Jilan said lightly.

Mr. Stork thought about it, and said hesitantly:

"If you need a large amount, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."

"Not a lot, a few pounds will be enough."

Jilan shook his head.

Mr. Stork heard this and immediately understood that it seemed that the other party did not want to make explosives, because this amount would not cause any major damage.

"That's no problem, I can give it to you tomorrow." He said.

"Thank you." Jilan thanked him. "Then please help me prepare to leave, Mr. Stork, let's set it for tomorrow evening."

Mr. Stork was silent for a few seconds and nodded solemnly.

It was dinner time.

There were more than a dozen plates on the table, with all kinds of delicious dishes, all made by old Jerry. It was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into this farewell banquet.

Everyone was eating happily.

Mr. Stork took out three bottles of fine wine from his collection, which were said to have a history of seventy or eighty years. He had hidden them long before the Empire issued the prohibition order, but he had never been willing to take them out to drink.

Today was an exception, and it could be seen from Mr. Stork's actions that he valued everyone in the club.

Drinking fine wine and eating delicious food.

The candlesticks specially prepared for the atmosphere were lit.

Instantly, everyone in the club temporarily forgot the sadness of parting, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Snowy Owl, are you really not going to take me away?"

Miss Seagull drank the old wine, her cheeks flushed, and she was brave enough to ask the blond young man again at the table.

"I was powerless to resist the marriage arranged by my family, so I had to run away... but where can I run away to?"

"Why not follow you and wander around the world!"

The short-haired lady lifted the ends of her hair, and the sterling silver cross earrings shone in the candlelight.

Her eyes also shone.

Everyone present was silent.

Miss Sparrow, who was sitting next to her, had a complicated expression.

Aurora thought that she did not have the courage of Miss Seagull, and at the same time, she still had a father who loved her deeply... Last time, her father did not listen to her persuasion and just thought she was making a fuss.

She was extremely eager for Mr. Snow Owl to take her away regardless of everything, and force her away... But she couldn't take the initiative to follow him away.

Jilan drank a sip of red wine silently.

After a while, she just said softly:

"Sorry."

"..."

Miss Seagull said nothing more, just picked up the red wine glass and drank it.

She drank up most of the red wine.

Among the people present, only Mr. Stork knew about it.

He knew that Mr. Snow Owl was not heartless, but that what he was going to do and the consequences of doing that thing would inevitably involve the people around him.

"Do you need my help?" Mr. Stork said.

"Miss Seagull, I have friends in other places, and I can arrange a place for you to stay. If you want to leave Black City..."

Before he finished speaking, Miss Seagull had waved her hand.

"Forget it."

She smiled lightly, her voice weak.
