This meal took a long time.

Or, the meal time was not long, but the three of them communicated for a long time.

When the leftovers on the table were scorching cold and almost condensed, Lillian called the waiter waiting outside the door and took away the rest of the food on the table.

And the three of them moved to the lounge next to the dining room.

In the communication with Lilian, Nie Yuan also got a general understanding of the affairs of Pass Town.

As for more detailed cases, they are all in the file she has prepared, and she can go back and study slowly.

At this moment, Qiao Qi stood up with the file in hand. She looked at the dim sunlight outside the window and said:

"Since that's the case, we won't bother Master Lilian any more. It's getting late. I'll take the file back and let Buck and the others evaluate it carefully."

"Okay."

Earl Lilian raised his head with a smile, looked at the polite and intellectual Qiao Qi, and said, "So little baby, I look forward to seeing you next time, but..."

"But what?"

"But you can leave. Nie Yuan has to stay. Now that the business is over, I still have an account to settle with him."

Qiao Qi didn't answer, but turned to look at Nie Yuan.

When Nie Yuan heard Lilian's words, his expression didn't change, he just said leisurely:

"I'm short on time. I still have work to do when I go back. Today's bookstore business is already..."

"A gold coin for five minutes."

Earl Lilian was straightforward and interrupted Nie Yuan's words.

Domineeringly, he said that he was willing to use gold coins to buy Nie Yuan's time.

And the premium is still very serious, far exceeding the value that Nie Yuan can create by going back to work in the bookstore.

Hearing that as long as Nie Yuan is willing to stay for five minutes, he can get a gold coin, Qiao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, she still didn't speak, she still just looked at Nie Yuan, but this time, there was some expectation in her eyes.

The atmosphere in the leisure room is therefore a little quiet.

Because the protagonist has never spoken, Nie Yuan just fell into silence when he heard the words, and did not express his previous attitude of "a poor ghost is reborn and asked for money".

Earl Lilian looked at him and wondered if that was the case, but he was still unmoved.

How could someone like him bow down just for the mere gold coins.

Whatever you are busy with, you have to take care of the bookstore business, all of which are excuses.

Nie Yuan seemed to be reluctant to be alone with himself for some reason.

But just when Lilian was about to greet Nie Yuan's refusal voice again, she slowly raised her head and said in a dry voice:

"Can you see two gold coins?"

Earl Lilian was taken aback.

Before she could speak, Qiao Qi, who was beside her, clenched her fist and gave Nie Yuan a "come on" expression, saying:

"Then Earl Lilian, I'll take my leave first, and I won't disturb you and Nie Yuan!"

"Ah, okay, okay..."

Earl Lilian replied in a daze.

Qiao Qi didn't hesitate either. Holding the stack of files, she quickly walked out of the lounge.

Don't forget to close the door when you go out.

Nie Yuan turned to look at the clock and said, "It's 4:49 pm."

That means, it's time to start now.

You don't have to pay back later.

Five minutes, two gold coins, there are still such good things in the world.

Then if I stay for ten minutes, wouldn't I be able to buy a small house in an ordinary lot in the main city of Ruiyan?

Last time Buck did get a huge commission from Lillian.

But most of the commission was spent by myself.

Naturally, it goes without saying that the biomechanical energy core that was used to forge its own heart, and most of those coins were given to the Aztecs.

Let them give flowers to them on the way to find other heart raw materials for themselves.

Part of the remaining money was used to purchase other alchemy materials, which I will definitely use in the future.

There is also a small part, which is used as the public funds of Buck's Bookstore to maintain the operation of the bookstore and the food and clothing expenses of the companions.

I still use it every day.

And so far, Nie Yuan has not contributed much to the bookstore, including Mrs. Auston's, he just went to pick up heads.

The source of disaster core that finally fell, was still used on himself.

Nie Yuan thought to himself, if I earn a few gold coins and run away, you can't beat me with a whip, right?

Can you beat me?

If you want to share knowledge about the Outer Gods, then just avoid talking about it.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to wait for me to go back with the easily earned gold coins, treat the big guys to a big meal, buy a small dress for Nancy, and customize a few XLLLLLL suits for Gustav.

Earl Lilian was relieved at this moment. She looked at Nie Yuan and became more and more speechless.

"Do you have this pattern?"

"We exchange wealth, maybe you are not as good as me."

"you……"

Earl Lilian was at a loss for words, suddenly laughed, and said, "Perhaps, I have indeed seen a lot of examples of people giving up their dignity because of some money.

But... I always feel that this shouldn't happen to you. You should have character, connotation, and arrogance. "

Hearing this, Nie Yuan was unmoved, and said, "Put down your illusions about me, Lillian, I have already told you what I really look like.

Furthermore...

I earn money by my ability, how can I not be proud?

Have I betrayed my dignity? no. "

"What's the matter?"

Lilian's expression was strange, and she said, "Although I have to admit that you are indeed very talented Nie Yuan, at this moment, it is really difficult for me to divide it into that you are making money based on your ability."

Nie Yuan said righteously: "Don't you want to recruit a passerby and become your close aide? Lillian, if so, then I have nothing to say, if not, you don't value my ability, but also what?"

Although I don't actually have the ability to become an aide to the royal family.

But to make you have the illusion that I "can become a high-end staff", that's also my skill!

Anyway, my stomach is fine!

Whatever you say!

"What you said... it seems to make sense~"

Lillian thought for a while, then placed her palm on Nie Yuan's shoulder.

Then, he suddenly brought his head closer and looked at Nie Yuan carefully, with a smile that was not a smile.

Nie Yuan only felt a fragrant smell coming from the pavilion, and a few strands of hair swept across his face, making it a little itchy.

Lilian's palm swirls on his shoulder, making Nie Yuan's figure a little stiff.

It's not that he was afraid of the current scene, but there are other reasons.

Lilian moved closer again, her expression more mysterious, Nie Yuan could even see the tiny pores under the smooth cuticle on her face.

"What are you enduring, Nie Yuan? Hurry up, look me in the eyes, two gold coins in five minutes is not so easy to earn."

Huh!

Nie Yuan turned his head abruptly, just as Lilian said, looking into her eyes, without the slightest timidity, only a serious and serious, indescribable deep meaning.

"Wait Lillian."

"What's up?"

Lilian tilted her head, the corners of her mouth twitched, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Nie Yuan stood up and said seriously, "I'm going to the toilet."

Having said that, he supported Lilian and made her lean on the other side of the sofa, but he got up and walked slowly towards the bathroom.

click~

Lock the bathroom door.

Nie Yuan stood in front of the sink, bent down and washed his face.

Then he supported his head with his hands and closed his eyes.

He was feeling something and thought about whether he should bring more gold coins back.

About two or three minutes passed.

During this period, Nie Yuan remained motionless.

No one came to urge him.

Slowly opening his eyes, Nie Yuan looked at himself in the mirror with a calmer expression.

Because he felt it just now, his current state seems to be barely normal, not the same as those inferior undead monsters.

Opening the door, Nie Yuan walked out, calmly.

And Lilian naturally heard the movement, propped her chin with one hand, leaned on the sofa, and looked at Nie Yuan who came over with admiration.

"What have you been doing?"

"I went... to verify something."

"Has that been verified?"

"Well, that's about it."

"Then tell me what you think."

Feelings?

Then how can I explain it to you?

Nie Yuan didn't know what this guy meant.

But looking at Lilian's interested eyes, she still tried to follow her and said:

"A while ago, my heart was empty and numb, and what was loaded there, a very important thing, was lost by me.

I am trying to find the fullness of the past. When I find a better substitute, maybe the five flavors of the world, the joys and sorrows of the world, which were so far away from me, can gradually become clear.

I……"

"Okay, no need to say anymore."

Earl Lilian interrupted Nie Yuan again, looking at him with a look of appreciation that made Nie Yuan feel inexplicable and complicated in friendship.

She pointed to the water droplets on Nie Yuan's cheeks and said, "Wipe the water droplets off your face. I understand what you mean, really... I understand."

Nie Yuan couldn't help being stunned.

You know what I mean?

What do you understand?

I don't quite understand my own words.

I just took your money, I feel sorry for it, and you look forward to it again, and you want me to say something.

Only then did I bite the bullet, and a "stream of consciousness" came, and I gave you an abstract description of what happened to me.

In my previous life, I was an orphan, and I never experienced the feelings of a normal family.

In this life, I came to another world, lost my heart, and lost my sense of pain.

It is completely true to say that ordinary people can experience the five flavors of the world and are so far away from me.

But I was just about to enter the state, first to stir up feelings, and I only said the beginning.

How do you understand what I mean?

I don't even understand it!

"You just went to calm down, right?"

Lilian looked at Nie Yuan, who reached out her hand to wipe the water droplets on her face, but she was at a loss, and said.

Then, before Nie Yuan could answer, her eyes were a little erratic, as if she was thinking about something, and said:

"Perhaps everyone has an unforgettable memory, but you and I are particularly unforgettable. Maybe, it has become an obsession.

The figure in the deepest part of his heart is not at all to indulge himself, so he can let it go.

You said that you have lost the touch in your heart, you are empty and numb, as if you have lost the five flavors of the world, how can I not have such an experience. "

His eyes were full of stories.

The flow overflowed with infinite sighs.

But Nie Yuan seems to have come back to it at this moment.

so……

Did you misunderstand anything when you and Buck and the others first met me?

I said that my heart was empty and numb, that I had lost something.

It's not that I experienced life and death, love and hatred.

It's not just that I have a girl I can't forget!

But I really lost my heart!

I went to wash my face, not to calm myself down.

Instead, he is feeling his physical state, is it still normal?

So what kind of long story did you come up with...

You people, is brain supplementation a natural skill...

Nie Yuan's absurd discovery, so far, everyone he has met likes to make imaginative speculations about himself!

The companions of Buck's Bookstore are like this, Bishop Quentin is like this, and Earl Lillian is like this!

It is even more so that they push themselves to the point of being arrogant.

I have only been in another world for a few days.

How come so many profound accumulation of knowledge, unpredictable high IQ, unbearable love and hatred!

"Well, I calmed down a little and realized my true heart."

Although the mental activities are very rich, on the surface, Nie Yuan still has deep eyes and speaks indifferently.

Since you have already helped me fill in the wonderful "character background" for my brain.

Okay.

I just went to calm down.

Earl Lilian heard the words, looked at his expression, and the color of admiration was already overflowing, and a slight blush hung on his cheeks, and said:

"I didn't read you wrong Nie Yuan~lightnovelpub.net~ You are different from other people who are pretending to be. I prefer to have a soul mingling with a rational and profound person rather than a beast who can't restrain himself."

"Slightly agree."

Nie Yuan was too lazy to say more.

Yes, you are right.

I'm not pretending at all.

I am that extraordinary, extraordinary, knowledgeable, and unparalleled genius.

I admit it, okay?

Not installed.

It's even a showdown.

Count Lilian, who is full of queen's style, has her eyes wandering at this moment. She looked at Nie Yuan, who was standing there with a calm temperament, and said:

"Just leave if you want, I won't stop you, and I won't force you to do anything. There is still a lot of time in the future. I hope to see for yourself the day when the dusty glacier in your heart is touched and melted. "

"I... I'll leave in a while."

"Wait a while?"

"Well, thirty-eight seconds later, thirty-seven, thirty-six, thirty-five..."

Earl Lilian was stunned for a while, then followed Nie Yuan's gaze, looked behind him, and instantly understood everything.

Full of speechlessness, helplessness, absurdity, appreciation, slot...

They all exploded like colored powder, turning into a smile from the heart.

If the spring breeze blows across the sea of ​​roses, the flowers will bloom all at once, bright and delicate.

I saw the clock behind me, there were still thirty seconds to go—

4:59.

Thousands of miles long, the last half step.

If you stay for an extra thirty seconds, you will earn two gold coins.

A fool knows how to choose.

As for you, if you like to make up your mind, just make up your mind.

up to you.

It's still gold.
