Chapter 23: final mission
"Ding-"
The two cups touched, Su Yuanning also smiled and drank most of the latte in his hand.
"So, Senior Xiao Zhou, is my next mission also confirmed?" Su Yuanning tucked himself into the cushion of the sofa and asked easily.
"Well." Zhou Mingrui also leaned back on the sofa and looked at Su Yuanning calmly.
"But that was a very difficult, very difficult task."
Zhou Mingrui said half dignifiedly and half jokingly.
"It was wandering in the dream of the gods, and it was not only my humanity and divinity that was pulling in it, but other, more powerful forces were involved."
"Your mission is very dangerous, very dangerous." Zhou Mingrui said slowly and calmly, "However, it is also very important."
"I understand." Su Yuanning nodded solemnly.
"The end is coming." Su Yuanning said, "The world needs you."
To this day, Zhou Mingrui had already told him about the doomsday prophecy through the mouth of Gehrman Sparrow.
Su Yuanning also knew how important Mr. Fool, who has mastered the three paths, was to prevent the end of the world.
Zhou Mingrui smiled, noncommittal.
"However, once this mission begins, you will again lose the opportunity to be with the people you love and those who love you." Zhou Mingrui said.
Looking at Su Yuanning who was suddenly stunned, Zhou Mingrui nodded and added bluntly: "Yes, I'm talking about Melissa."
Originally, Su Yuanning was still skeptical, but at this moment, his ears turned red as soon as they "tipped".
Su Yuanning hesitated, but Zhou Mingrui didn't give him a chance to hesitate.
Zhou Mingrui rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "This time, I have to say goodbye to her, do you hear me?"
This time, not only his ears, but Su Yuanning's neck also turned red.
The sage of Sequence 3, the wanderer Su Yuanning, after a long while, he said "um".
"Of course, there are also parents, teachers, and friends who care about you. And Abraham's side should also explain." Zhou Mingrui smiled and said.
"Abraham's Redeemer, the only wanderer in the family today, was called away by me like this. It doesn't seem good if I don't say hello."
"I understand." Su Yuanning nodded. This is what he originally planned to do.
"After you're ready."
Zhou Mingrui beckoned in the air, and Arrodes, who didn't know where to go just now, suddenly appeared.
It "zeng" jumped onto the sofa, and for the first time took the initiative to rub into Su Yuanning's arms.
Under Su Yuanning's surprised eyes, Arrodes reluctantly rolled around for a few times.
"Just go to Bernadette and get what Gehrman Sparrow left with her." Zhou Mingrui looked at Arrodes' movements with satisfaction and nodded lightly.
"Then, go to Mr. Azik Eggers to explain the purpose." Zhou Mingrui said, "He will help you set up the ritual magic for entering the dream."
"It's not urgent to enter the dreamland."
Zhou Mingrui smiled slightly and raised the cup towards Su Yuanning:
"I'll be waiting for you there."
"Okay." Su Yuanning nodded.
"Senior Xiao Zhou."
Su Yuanning also raised the mug in his hand and said with a smile:
"Be sure to wait for me."
Zhou Mingrui smiled and nodded.
"it is good."
The two mugs collided and made a crisp "ding" sound.

The seat of the Abraham Presbyterian Church.
Dorian Abraham and several other Abraham elders waited awkwardly in the conference room. "Magician" Fors Wall is also present here.
Today was the day that the only wanderer in the family, Ingena Abraham, offered to meet them for the first time.
The growth rate of this little Abraham is amazing.
It took him less than 4 years to become a Sequence 3 rover.
Moreover, under the blessing of Mr. Fool, he quietly solved the hidden dangers in the blood of the Abraham family.
Until that day, no one realized what this little Ingena Abraham was carrying.
However, on that day, all of Abraham's Beyonders heard and felt the call.
They all spit out a mouthful of blood.
No need for anyone to explain, and no need for Mr. Fool's oracles, all Abrahams had a certain understanding in an instant.
Because, after shedding that jet-black blood, all Abrahams only felt the incomparable lightness in the depths of their souls.
"Fors." Dorian looked at his student and asked softly, a little nervously, "Little Yingner. No, when will Your Excellency Yingner Abraham arrive?"
The "Magician" Fors Wall, who was somewhat empty, was stunned for a moment, and took out a pocket watch from his wallet and snapped it open.
The mystic looked at the rotating pointer and replied, "Ten seconds."
Just ten seconds later, there seemed to be ripples in the air in the conference room.
But in the blink of an eye, Ingena Abraham, dressed in a neat three-piece gentleman's three-piece suit, a half-height silk top hat, with a young and handsome face, with jet-black hair and a clear blue boy, appeared in the conference room.
His figure was quickly drawn in the air like a line.
Without waiting for the elders of the Presbyterian Church to respond, he took off his top hat and bowed to the elders of Abraham and his mentor Fors Wall.
After a brief greeting, the new wanderer solemnly said to the elders of Abraham:
"Today I take the liberty to invite all the elders to come here to explain to you.
"A few days ago, the reason for the changes in the body of Abraham's lineage.
"And, in the next three years, or even five years, Mr. Fool will give me an important task..."

Backlund Bridge on the south bank of the Tussock River.
Bernadette, who was sitting on the pea vine, waited for her guest on time.
The youthful-looking, black-haired and blue-haired curler walked up the steps along the familiar turquoise pea vines.
Even though he has been promoted to rover, his humble attitude has not changed in any way.
The "Queen of Mysteries" looked at him with a dazed expression, and her eyes were blue and deep.
"Hello, Your Highness Bernadette." Ingena Abraham took off his top hat.
"Hello, Your Excellency Roller." Bernadette nodded slightly.
Yingner pressed the top hat to his chest and politely said in Old Feysac:
"I am ordered by Mr. Fool to fetch the items that Gehrman Sparrow has deposited with you."
Bernadette nodded lightly, and an invisible servant came to Yingna with a tray.
It was an exquisite jewelry box.
And in it, lay an unpretentious gold coin.

Backlund, in the living room of a townhouse.
Melissa also waited for her guest on time.
Ingena Abraham, who has been promoted to roamer, doesn't look any different from before, and the look in the corners of his eyes is exactly the same as when they first met.
"Melissa."
Looking at the beautiful girl with black hair and black boy, Ingena opened his mouth and found that there were still some knots in his tongue.
They have met briefly every Monday for the past two years.
But endless words can only be expressed in letters.
Only very occasionally, very occasionally, when both of them have time, do they go out and travel together.
They once watched the aurora in the Evernight Plain together, fed the pigeons outside the Dusk Hall together, and listened to every premiere of Ingena together.
But even so, Yingner still had some words that he didn't say to Melissa.
Melissa never took the initiative to ask.
Ingena didn't say it because he didn't think he could make a steady commitment.
Before being promoted to rover, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the promotion successfully and would not be able to return from that space safely.
However, after the rover, he has a new mission.
A longer, more secret, and more dangerous mission.
"Melissa." Ingena took a deep breath.
However, even though he had rehearsed several times before he arrived, it was difficult for Yingner to speak fluently.
But in the end, he closed his eyes and said everything he could.
After he said that after being promoted to rover, all the previous worries have been settled.
It was also said that Mister Fool once again gave him a difficult task, and this task may last longer than the previous tasks. It may be measured in "years".
"Melissa, I..."
"I don't know how long it will take to wake him up," he said, "but I will try my best to do it."
At this moment, Yingner slowly opened his eyes and looked at Melissa. Looking at the beautiful girl with black hair and black child in front of her.
"Melissa." Yingner called softly again.
He took out an exquisite platinum ring from his arms, knelt down on one knee, and asked softly and sincerely, "Will you...will wait for me?"

Azik Eggers nodded slightly to Yingna Abraham.
"You came."
The angel of death said to Yingner with a smile.
"The ritual of entering the dream state is ready. You can pray at any time."
Yingner nodded and looked at the pure white altar.
The altar used to enter the Fool's Dream looks very complicated, and the various essential oils, candles, herbs, and offerings on the altar look dazzling.
"Thank you, Mr. Azik." Ingena said sincerely, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I'd have no idea how to prepare."
"you are welcome."
Azik smiled gently.
The bronze-skinned Angel of Death patted the rover on the shoulder.
"Come on, Ingena."
The angel of death said: "Bring him back as soon as possible."
The rover nodded lightly and gave a firm response.
"give it to me."

After a little preparation, Yingna reverently knelt before the sacred altar.
He lit the candle with his spirituality.
He lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes slightly. He held the unpretentious gold coin behind his palm and intertwined his fingers.
Then, the wanderer whispered in a low voice in a thousand-year-old saying:
"A fool who does not belong to this era,"
"The mysterious master above the gray fog,"
"The king of yellow and black in charge of good luck..."

When he opened his eyes again, looking at the barbecue stall in front of him, Su Yuanning's breathing stopped for a moment.
This is the barbecue stall at the gate of the university town that he is familiar with.
He still remembered that this grilled eggplant and seafood were especially outstanding. The beef and mutton were also fresh and neatly cut. They were strung on the sticks in strict accordance with the ratio of three fat and seven thin, sprinkled with chili powder and secret sauce, and served on a charcoal fire. The roasting is sizzling, and the aroma is diffused. The smell makes people can't help but move their index fingers. Take a bite, and the oil bursts in your mouth, fragrant but not stinky, oily but not greasy.
It was only afternoon and the stall was already full of people.
Su Yuanning didn't mind sharing a table with others. He was a newcomer and came here as soon as he opened his eyes. Perhaps he was destined to come here for a meal of skewers.
"You're here." The boss said to him familiarly.
"Yeah." Su Yuanning still nodded and let the boss lead him to the corner.
Then, he watched the boss knock on the table twice, and casually called out to the diners who were looking down at their mobile phones: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, come and make a table with the younger brother."
On the smoky barbecue stall, there were other people talking eloquently. The person who looked down at the phone raised his head, revealing a very familiar face of Su Yuanning.
Su Yuanning's Adam's apple moved, UU read www.uukanshu. com's back was stiff for a while.
Zhou Mingrui was originally running his business, eating a barbecue casually, but when he looked up, he found a rather handsome little boy looking at him, his eyes could not hide his surprise, and there was even an indescribable joy in his eyes.
Didn't he come to fight the table? Why are you looking at me like this?
"Do we know each other?" Zhou Mingrui scratched his face and asked the young man in front of him.
Zhou Mingrui actually felt a little strange, why did he think this young man looked inexplicably familiar?
But Zhou Mingrui couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Su Yuanning looked at this familiar and unfamiliar senior.
He thought about it, nodded lightly, and smiled:
"Well, Senior Xiao Zhou. I think we should know each other."
