Chapter 139 The Returning Traveler
A ship's whistle sounded.
At the dock of Dorne, an ocean liner was slowly approaching the shore. After about ten minutes, the passengers on the deck began to disembark one after another. The Good Luck traveled between Dorne and Horn Island, which was a very famous tourist destination with a very pleasant climate, soft sandy beaches, and comfortable sunbathing.
In the crowd, a tall veiled lady was getting off the boat with a handsome young man. She looked to be in her thirties, but she might actually be a little older. However, she was well-maintained and still looked quite charming. The breeze on the shore blew up the lady's veil, revealing a beautiful and charming face with a faint teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. She was wearing an elegant and decent white casual outfit, a bit like a casual short skirt in later times. She wore an expensive ruby necklace on her plump chest, and silk gloves with lace trim on her slender white hands. She smiled all the way and held the handsome young man beside her very intimately.
"My dear, you are so funny." The charming lady hugged the young man's arm, and her full breasts rubbed against his body slightly.
The strong chest made her heart tremble, and the outline of the abdominal muscles that she inadvertently saw made her heart beat slightly faster.
A handsome young man at the side was gazing at the city of Dorne in the distance. His eyes seemed to be recalling something, but his palm gently lifted the arm of the beautiful woman beside him, supporting her as she slowly walked down the stairs.
Soon, an old man who looked like a butler came over quickly. He stared at the handsome young man who was behaving intimately with the beautiful woman, frowned, and said softly, "Madam."
"The carriage has arrived."
Hearing the old man's words, the beautiful woman suddenly looked a little lost. She let go of the young man's arm reluctantly, tidied her appearance, and said expressionlessly, "I understand."
When she turned her gaze to the young man beside her, the beautiful woman's eyes immediately became moist as if tears could flow out of her eyes. She reluctantly said, "Remember to contact me."
"You know my contact information."
The young man smiled and gave the charming and beautiful woman a warm and strong hug, completely ignoring the butler who was frowning beside him. He said in a voice as gentle as the wind, as if it contained a trace of magic: "I will."
Da da da.
A carriage slowly drove away from the dock area. The beautiful woman sitting in the carriage had a look of loss. She had never thought that she would encounter such an exciting affair during an ordinary leisure vacation. When she left Dorne to relax, she had imagined in her heart whether she would encounter some interesting things on this trip. It would be best if she could meet a humorous, handsome and handsome young gentleman, and then the two of them would start a romantic and thrilling adventure.
Finally her dream came true.
She really met a group of drunk and rude sailors on Horn Island. As if it was arranged by God, a handsome young man appeared like a god and knocked down those drunken and rude men in no time. When her slightly limp body leaned on the young man's chest, her heartbeat became so rapid that she could hardly breathe, and she couldn't help but clamp her legs together.
As a noble lady from Dorne, being molested by three or five drunken men was already a very exciting and thrilling thing for her.
"Paimon?"
The beautiful woman could not help but open the window of the carriage and looked back in the direction of the dock area, but suddenly she was stunned for a moment, because she could not recall the appearance of the handsome young man no matter what, and the memory of this journey related to him seemed vague. She only remembered that she asked him to pretend to be her husband. This was something she had never dared to imagine, letting a man she had only known for less than a day play her husband, and the two of them behaved so intimately, all the way from Horn Island to visit the customs and culture and return to Dorne.
This is really crazy.
As for the details of her memories during the journey, no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember them clearly. She only remembered that the handsome man had a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky.
Diagon Alley.
Xiao En turned and walked into a grilled fish restaurant, and soon the short owner brought him a portion of lemon grilled fish, a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, some vegetable salad, and some other ingredients.
"Thank you."
Sean took out a ten-dinar note and prepared to enjoy his lunch.
taste good.
It tasted better than the grilled lizard tail made by the halfling chef in the Abyss City. He felt as if he was in another world when he returned to Dorne again. The peaceful life in the real world seemed like an unattainable dream to him. The memories of Dorne kept emerging like echoes.
“It’s been more than a year.”
Xiao En picked up the orange juice and took a sip. He looked at the dock area in the distance with a deep gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Here, the Night Watchman-Shaun has sacrificed himself.
He changed his identity and appearance, and relying on his ability to "read thoughts", he discovered a noble lady who was eager for a romantic journey and an exciting encounter. The other party's identity and status could solve a lot of unnecessary troubles for Xiao En, so he arranged a good show and successfully took the role of the beautiful woman's husband during the journey.
It’s just a small favor. You’re welcome.
The extraordinary people who use the telepathic path can do almost anything they want in the real world. With a simple telepathic suggestion and the constant [eloquence] from visiting the 'devil' realm, Sean easily solved all the troubles on the journey by persuasion.
As for being witty and humorous, it is only because clever rhetoric makes it easier to convince others. If you unconsciously agree with Xiao En's point of view, you will naturally find him humorous and witty.
"Daisy should have returned to the Derle area."
Xiao En turned his head and looked at the policeman patrolling the dock area. He was a plainclothes policeman, a promoted transcendent who looked like a ranger.
“Are there any extraordinary people among the police?”
"The changes brought about by Amon?"
After the last disaster, the number of extraordinary people in Dorne City has obviously increased a lot. It is possible that the top leaders were forced to make concessions. There is no other way. Amon, this madman, can do anything. When passing the dock area, Xiao En felt the aura of several extraordinary people. He even met a plainclothes patroller while eating. He was also a recently promoted extraordinary person.
"All of them are below the Extraordinary Level 5, and it will take no more than a year to be promoted."
After lunch, Sean strolled along the road in the dock area.
The area that was burned by the fire has been rebuilt, and the Wolf Steamship factory has been built again, as if nothing had changed.
The breeze from the dock area made Xiao En feel relaxed and comfortable as he had not felt for a long time. He strolled along the newly built urban area and inadvertently turned into one of the staff dormitories. Soon he went up to the third floor and gently knocked on one of the doors.
"Who?" A vigilant female voice sounded.
When Xiao En heard the gentle female voice, his face was obviously much more relaxed, and he pretended to be casual and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. White's residence?"
The woman glanced at him through the peephole, seemed to feel that he was not a bad person, and slowly opened the door.
This was a gentle and beautiful woman, with a slightly haggard face and dark circles under her eyes. She said politely and cautiously, "Sir, you may have the wrong address."
Xiao En pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't that right? Sorry."
"I might be really mistaken."
After visiting the power of the devil's realm, his acting ability has also improved by leaps and bounds. The devils are all silver-tongued guys.
"Mother?"
At this moment, a little girl's voice sounded. She walked out of the room, rubbed her eyes, and said in a clear childish voice, "Are there any guests?"
Xiao En's pupils shrank slightly in an instant, and he saw the faint aura of the little girl.
The awakened extraordinary!
Although it has not yet fully awakened, the supernatural essence is already in her body. She is the daughter of Hank Brand and a supernatural being promoted through blood inheritance.
As if he noticed that the woman's eyes were becoming more alert, Xiao En bowed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"I admit my mistake. I'm leaving now." The woman quickly closed the door.
Sean walked down the stairs slowly with a serious expression. The good news was that Hank Brandt's wife and daughter were living a good life. The bad news was that his daughter inherited Hank's extraordinary nature.
——Those who pursue light will never betray it.
Sean couldn't just sit there and watch. He promised Hank that he would take care of his wife and daughter, and he also owed Hank a Roman Palace.
"A transcendent person who inherits bloodline."
"Hank would want his daughter to live as a normal person, right?"
He rubbed his forehead with a slight headache and muttered, "Is there any way to turn a superhuman back into an ordinary person? If not, then I must at least ensure that she can complete her awakening and promotion safely!"
This kind of extraordinary person with awakened bloodline is a bit like a warlock. It is as if their superpowers are out of control and can cause a lot of trouble.
Just as Sean was going downstairs, he saw a middle-aged man walking in a hurry. Sean had met him once before. He was the husband of Hank's wife's remarriage. He seemed to be a middle-level employee. The other party looked at Sean warily, quickly walked upstairs, opened the door, and asked if anyone was knocking on the door.
It didn't take long.
There were sounds of quarreling coming from upstairs, and Xiao En heard the crisp sound of a slap. In an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an astonishing murderous intent burst out of his body!
The woman upstairs was slapped.
There was a clear palm print on her beautiful face. The little girl at the door of the room protected her mother and stared at the middle-aged man with eyes like a little tiger. Facing this little girl who was less than 1.4 meters tall, there was a trace of fear in the man's eyes. He couldn't help but took a half step back, quickly opened the door and left the house.
——Dominate mankind.
——Reading thoughts.
Xiao En's figure flashed in an instant, and a ray of spiritual light burst out from his deep eyes, directly invading the opponent's brain, dominating his will, and reading his thoughts and memories at the same time.
All the disputes originated from the little girl's awakening.
The mother wanted to protect her daughter, and the father was filled with fear. The whole family gradually fell apart in the endless quarrels.
Hannah Brende.
This was the name of the little girl. As Hank's only descendant, she inherited the talents of a superhuman.
But the man in front of him was afraid of her, terrified by her. He was afraid of extraordinary people, even if the other party was his stepdaughter, a girl who was not yet an adult.
With Hank's previous experience as a lesson, his wife never wanted her daughter to become a night watchman again, or even to get close to the world of supernatural beings. This also coincided with Hank's last wish, but fear destroyed her second husband. After experiencing the last turmoil in Dorne, his mental state seemed to have some problems, and he looked at supernatural beings as if they were facing a monster.
He lives in the shadow of fear, and the legacy of the past has forever changed his mind.
The man's defenses of will have been broken.
Xiao En sighed softly, lifted the spell that controlled the other party, erased all traces of his existence, turned around and left quietly.
The last time they met, their relationship was still very good, but this time it had come to the point of physical combat.
But this is someone else's family affair, and Xiao En shouldn't intervene rashly.
He wanted to find some time to meet the little girl alone. Her awakening had entered the final stage, and she should soon gain the power of a superhuman.
New Town District, big pendulum clock.
Xiao En walked down the tram. When he passed the theater, a boy's voice came from behind him: "Sir, would you like a cigarette?"
He turned around and saw a lame boy whose right leg had been amputated and replaced with a wooden prosthetic leg. The boy smiled when he saw Xiao En turning around and said again, "Sir, would you like a cigarette? I have some chewing gum here."
Sean stared at the big boy in front of him, picked up a pack of cigarettes, a latest model lighter, a piece of chewing gum wrapped in paper, then took out a hundred dinar bill and handed it to the other party.
The older boy looked a little nervous. He searched his pockets and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir."
"I can't find it."
When he looked up again, he was suddenly stunned, because the figure of the gentleman had already left. He limped on the road for a while, but the other person seemed to have disappeared.
The big pendulum clock, the park area, the anonymous monument.
Xiao En's figure seemed to be searching for something. When he saw a simple-dressed little girl selling flowers not far away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He waved from a distance, and the little girl soon saw him and trotted over with a happy look on her face.
"Good afternoon, sir."
The little girl selling flowers bowed and said very politely, "Would you like to buy some flowers?"
Xiao En picked a bunch of white chrysanthemums.
He looked at the little girl's back as she happily left, slowly walked to the nameless tombstone, and placed the bouquet of flowers on the ground.
"I am back."
Xiao En bowed deeply, turned and walked towards the cemetery.
I don't know when it started to drizzle.
Sean's grave.
He looked at the black tombstones standing in front of him, his own, Hank's, Jean's, and those of other sacrificed night watchmen, and was silent for a long time.
Back here again, he is not just Sean, he is also Eamon.
Sean opened the bottle and poured it in front of Hank's tombstone. He sat down, patted the tombstone, and said softly, "I have something to talk to you about."
"About your wife and daughter."
"Your daughter has awakened the blood of a transcendent, and your wife doesn't seem to be doing well now either."
——The dead talk!
In the drizzle of the evening, a strange skeleton appeared in Xiao En's palm, and soon there was a slight movement in the tomb.
Sean awakened Hank's spirit that had not completely dissipated after his death, allowing him to talk to him temporarily.
