Chapter 301: Script from the Scriptwriter
Illya said in a heavier tone: "Explain it clearly."
The man nodded and continued: "Ince Zangwill once encountered Nast, the King of the Five Seas, on the sea. The two sides fought a great battle in the spirit world, and later only Nast left the spirit world."
"According to our investigation, Nast took away 008 at that time, but did not release the news to the outside world. Only a few deputies around him knew it."
"Our source of information comes from Nast's third mate. He can guarantee that Nast did take 008 from Ince Zangwill."
Illya was silent. If it is confirmed that Nast took away 008 from Ince Zangwill when he arrived at Pnin Port, then their investigation will have to change direction.
Their main purpose this time is to find the cause of the abnormality in Ince Zangwill and to find out the whereabouts of the sealed object 008.
Of these two things, retrieving 008 is the top priority.
Sharon and Hastur may be related to the organization of the Yellow Monk, or it may be related to the cause of Ince Zangwill's abnormality.
After thinking for a while, Illya made a decision. If the news was confirmed, she would lead two Red Glove members to go out to sea by boat to find the whereabouts of Nast and 008.
The other Red Glove members stayed in Puning Port and continued to explore along the line of Sharon and Hastur.
"I want to go to the sea to find the whereabouts of 008. I hope Ms. Illya will agree to my willful decision." The person who spoke was Leonard.
He took the initiative to leave Puning Port and go to the sea to perform a relatively dangerous and unpredictable mission.
Illya looked at him in surprise, "You have a good relationship with that Hastur?"
"He is the first friend I made in Backlund."
"Okay, you can follow me to the sea." Illya satisfied Leonard's little willfulness.
Not wanting to investigate his good friend personally, for the sake of friendship, he chose to take the initiative to perform a more dangerous and unknown mission. Such a choice made Leonard's whole image radiate brilliance.
Facing the admiring eyes of the Red Glove team members, Leonard was like a warrior statue, his eyes full of determination and silence.
After returning to his room and lying on the bed, Leonard began to call the old man out to chat.
"Old man, do you think I am stupid? It is safer to stay in Puning Port, but I chose to stay away from here and go to the vast ocean to find the King of the Five Seas."
"That is the sea, that is the King of the Five Seas. Why did I make this choice in a moment of brain twitch?"
"Alas, Hastur, you have made me suffer. If it were not for you, I would not have to suffer this unjust crime."
Leonard kept complaining, but he did not have much regret in his heart.
He did not have many friends. Hastur was the first friend he made when he came to Backlund. They also experienced the witch incident together. He cherished this friendship.
He really did not want to face Hastur as an interrogator for the second time, so it was better to find an excuse to stay away from here.
"Old man, why don't you say anything?"
"..."
"Do you also think that I made this decision too stupid?" Leonard was a little anxious.
After a long time, the old man's faint sigh came from the depths of his heart.
"I wanted to praise your decisive choice this time. After all, you rarely show your intelligence. I didn't expect that I thought too much."
"..."
This time it was Leonard's turn to be silent. Why did this sound wrong?
This means that the old man approves of his choice this time and even intends to praise him. Is it just his constant complaints that broke the old man's fantasy?
He cleared his throat and said, "Old man, you misunderstood. I just said it casually. I made this choice after sufficient thinking, not to escape from anything."
"Do you believe this yourself?"
Leonard choked for a moment and asked, "Old man, why do you think it's better to stay away from here?"
"Haha, what do you think."
The old man's voice faded away, leaving Leonard lying on the bed in a daze.
...
In an ordinary house in Puning Port, Mrs. Lisa slowly put down the pen in her hand. This is a very ordinary feather pen. She bought one on the street just now, which cost her 5 pence.
She didn't need a fancy pen, nor did she need a pen with magical powers like 008. As long as she held the pen in her hand, she could naturally write a script of fate.
Scriptwriter, she used to like this sequence.
Of course, she couldn't write a perfect script now, so she had to go out in person.
The little girl called the Eye of the Goddess was a Sequence 3 Beyonder. After a long time, she would realize that she was affected by some kind of power and thus escape from the script.
Madam Lisa opened the door and walked on the street, walking towards the hotel at an unhurried pace. When she came to the door, she looked up slightly and then went up the stairs to the second floor.
She passed by the doors of the rooms one by one. When she passed the room where Illya was, she paused for two or three seconds, and then returned along the stairs.
"Hey, aren't you Madam Lisa who was still writing books late at night in Hasta Castle?" Suddenly a voice called her.
Mrs. Lisa looked back, with a kind smile on her face, and nodded, saying: "I came here to buy some good quill pens."
Leonard said with emotion: "That's great. When I get old, I plan to write a few books for myself."
"Writing a book is a very interesting thing. If you need any help in this regard, you can come to me."
"I'm afraid it will bother you."
"No trouble, you are the Earl's friend." Mrs. Lisa deliberately changed her words.
After the two chatted about how to write a book, Mrs. Lisa looked at Leonard deeply before leaving, "If you need any other help, you can also come to me."
"Thank you for your kindness. If you need anything, I will definitely come to your house."
After watching Mrs. Lisa leave with the crowd, Leonard said with emotion: "What a hospitable and energetic old man. At this age, she can still insist on writing late at night. Those authors who only write two or three chapters a day should really be ashamed of this."
Back to the hotel, Leonard went up to the second floor. When he was about to go back to his room to rest, Ms. Illya's door opened.
Leonard walked forward and said hello. Illya nodded slightly, "We will sail away tomorrow. If you need anything else, you can prepare it today."
In response, Leonard asked curiously: "Have you confirmed that 008 is in the hands of the King of the Five Seas?"
"Well, we should also set off early so that we can return to Backlund earlier."
"Okay, I will go to prepare things now."
Leonard went down the stairs again and went to the shops on both sides of the street to buy some daily necessities.
It is not known how long we will stay at sea on this trip, so it is better to stock up some things so that we don't have to rely on fish every day in the future.
After working for most of the day, it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Leonard came back with a big bag of things and ended today's shopping.
After taking a shower, Leonard lay comfortably on the bed. After a short rest, he shouted in his heart: "Old man, you are very quiet today."
"Heh."
"Old man, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
"Heartless people are always happier."
"Hey, old man, I'm concerned about you, why do you suddenly attack me?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
Leonard has become accustomed to the old man's tone and is too lazy to argue with him. After thinking for a while, he said: "Old man, do you think 008 really fell into the hands of Nast, the King of the Five Seas? I always feel that something is wrong with this matter."
"If someone wants 008 to fall into his hands, it must fall into his hands."
"Old man, why do you talk around?"
Leonard muttered in dissatisfaction, but no one answered him again.
At about seven o'clock the next day, Leonard and another team member followed Illya to go out to sea by boat.
When the ship gradually disappeared at the end of the sea and sky, Mrs. Lisa retracted her sight and closed the window facing the sea.
...
In the castle, Hasta was also having people pack up. He was going to settle down in Puning Port for a while and sort out the navy of the three ports.
After Mrs. Lisa came back, she went straight to the study to meet Hasta.
"Is it done?"
"Some of them have gone out to sea to find 008, and your friend is among them."
Hasta raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is this also your arrangement?"
"No, it's his own choice."
"It seems that he doesn't want to stay here and face me." Hasta laughed, and he was in a good mood.
Mrs. Lisa said a little uncertainly: "It seems that there is something in his body that can interfere with fate, or he is parasitized by a powerful extraordinary person."
Hasta asked curiously, "Can you see the secret of Leonard clearly?"
"I can probably guess what it is. We are very close to each other. I am quite sensitive to unusual fluctuations in fate, especially the ability of parasitism and theft."
Hasta waved his hand and said, "You don't need to intervene in this matter, just pretend nothing happened."
Mrs. Lisa didn't say anything more and left the study quietly.
