What, you said that Sylvia is just a flash in the pan and will never come back after leaving the center of power?

This is hard to say. There are many characters in Victoria's history who seem to have been relegated to the fringes, but one day they return like lightning and return to their original positions. If they offend someone now, will they still be alive by then?

The manager of Twilight Bar knows very well who should not be offended the most. In just ten years, Sylvia is still less than forty years old and is in her prime. There is no guarantee when she will be recalled again. What will she do then?

"I don't need it anymore. I probably won't come to this place again. It's a waste and I won't spend this energy."

Sylvia put down her wine glass, seemingly a little drunk, her face was rosy, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

"It's completely free, ma'am, our store rewards our customers, you can trust us completely."

The Vaifan woman still shook her head and pointed her right hand at the man in black across from her: "You'd better ask him. If he hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't come here to drink."

Hearing what Sylvia said, the bar manager couldn't help but start to re-examine the man two meters away. The man's face was covered with a mask, and his true face could not be seen.

However, the former Dragon Rider General had an eccentric and unruly personality, and few nobles from Londinium could win her favor. Who is this man in front of him? He has such a great reputation that even Vaifan wants to give him face.

?

"Sir, look..."

"Okay, you can do it in my name. First of all, if you come to make purchases, you should recognize the card but not the person, right?"

The manager nodded quickly: "You are right, our store does not have strict requirements in this regard."

Zhou Jinru smiled and said: "Then we will handle it in the name of Thomas Cotman. Is there any problem?"

ah?

Isn’t this the name of the protagonist of a best-selling book?

In the novels of the great writer August, Thomas Coatman, as a great explorer, travels in and out of various dangerous areas and turns dangers into disasters. At the same time, he also wanders in the Vanity Fair and maintains ambiguous relationships with many women. He is a favorite of many young people.

A male idol and a dream lover for young ladies and ladies.

But if you think about it carefully, the novel was written during the turbulent period of Victoria ten years ago, which happened to be the time when General Dragoon retired. Is there any connection between the two?

The bar manager secretly glanced at the two people in front of the round table. He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and did not dare to think too much. Maybe this mysterious man's status was still higher than Sylvia's!

Just use a pseudonym. In the future, just pay more attention to who holds this card for consumption.

"Guests, please wait a moment. It will take a while to process the card, but it won't be too long. As compensation, all your purchases in the store this time will be free of charge."

Zhou Jinru's eyes lit up. Since it's free, why not just collect the wool?

Sylvia picked up the wine glass with a sharp look, meaning you must not do anything embarrassing!

Watching the manager leave, the man sighed: "He said the bill was waived, what are you afraid of?"

"I can't afford to lose this person!"

"Didn't you say you won't come again, not even this time?"

Sylvia was furious for a moment. She remembered that this guy was not so shameless ten years ago. How did he become like this now?

Zhou Jinru took the initiative to end the topic: "Okay, you have the final say on this matter, but what I want to tell you is another matter. Do you still remember the black-haired waiter who followed me before?"

"She is very pretty, and the little girl has good skills. I may not be able to beat her now. Do you have any thoughts about her?"

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Jinru waved his hand, "That's right. Her father entrusted me to help the child. I can't find an entry point for a while. Do you have any ideas?"

The Vaifan woman frowned and said cautiously: "What are you going to do?"

"Make a few conspirators and slave traders pay."

"Ha, when did you become so cynical?"

"I've always been like this, I've never changed."

Sylvia couldn't help laughing, then slowly shook her head and said seriously: "You have found the wrong person. I left Londinium ten years ago, and now I have no connections, and it is very possible to help you."

Putting me and my family in crisis, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Hearing her rejection, Zhou Jinru breathed a sigh of relief: "This is better. It seems that your focus in life is entirely on your family. Maybe for you, retiring is equivalent to choosing another path. I was a little worried at first, but now

It seems really good.”

"You don't have to tell me, I don't want to ask."

"Well, cheers."

Two people clinked their glasses together.

After drinking another glass, Sylvia exhaled a breath and murmured: "I can't drink anymore today."

She seemed to have remembered something, turned to look at the sky in the distance, and said to herself: "I am thirty-nine years old, and I am no longer young. Even bitter beer is a burden. If I hadn't met you,

I don't know how to drink at all."

"You are only thirty-nine years old. Vaifan is a fantasy species, and his racial characteristics are much stronger than those of ordinary races. Are you sick?"

"No."

Sylvia spread her hands on the table. Her fingers and palms were covered with thick calluses, some from years of handling weapons, and some from ten years of farming.

"I migrated to Victoria with the tribe when I was sixteen. I became a mercenary at the age of seventeen, and later joined the Victoria army. In almost ten years, I fought all the wars in this country. Guess how many injuries I suffered before I could sit down.

The position of the commander of the dragoons in the defense of Londinium?”

Zhou Jinru closed his mouth. He looked into the eyes of the Vaifan woman and was speechless.

Victoria is a country that values ​​bloodline and status. Although it is developing rapidly and its technological level is first-rate, certain ideas are still deeply rooted. Sylvia was born in a barbaric tribe, and her achievements along the way are all due to her race.

A strong physique and a fierce energy to rush forward.

When he was chasing him, he didn't care even if there were civilian casualties.

The Aslan royal family was kind to her, and the 28-year-old Dragon Rider offered his loyalty, but the faith she insisted on collapsed.

Suddenly, Zhou Jinru understood why Vaifan, who clearly had the opportunity to rise to prominence, gave up his generous treatment, his noble status, and even his aristocratic status, walked into the fields, put down his weapons and picked up a hoe.

Her hopes were completely dashed.

If it weren't for her husband and daughter, she might not have chosen to live today.

"Even fantasy species have to face the ruthless time. Mr. Fourth, aging is a very scary thing. No matter how unwilling I am, I must recognize the reality."
