King Snake General of Pirates

After getting the fish tank and feed, Hal asked the boss for a black cloth to cover the fish tank to prevent him from being exposed to the sun while walking on the road.

Then he walked towards the rear of the Eastern Military District.

At the junction of the four major military regions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, there is an inaccessible forest. Due to the large number of trees and leafy branches, and the high air humidity during rainfall, the dense branches and leaves block the evaporation, resulting in blocked airflow in many places. Miasma formed, and swamps, quagmires and other dangerous places appeared in deeper areas, as well as methane and various toxic gases.

Only wild beasts that can adapt to the harsh environment are raging inside, and ordinary people will not go there. In order to prevent the wild beasts inside from entering the city, there are protective fences outside the forest and soldiers guarding it at intervals.

One of the remote aristocratic areas in the Eastern Military Region faces this forest, and Syl Sawyer's villa is located in this part.

At this moment, she was sitting by the window, holding her chin with her right hand, looking absently at a red and green bird in a cage in the window of the room not far away.

This is the only thing she can do at home that has anything to do with living things.

dong dong dong.

A slight and deep sound came, and Syl Zoya looked up to the other side. A smile immediately appeared on her fair face, and she quickly ran forward and opened the sliding door made of glass.

She said in surprise: "Why are you here? I thought you were back at the naval base."

On the balcony outside the sliding door, Hal was standing there with a smile on his face, holding something wrapped in black cloth in one hand and a large bag of fish feed in the other.

"I was going back. A little accident happened on the way. Then I passed a fish shop and saw this strange and beautiful fish. I thought you would like it, so I bought it and gave it to you."

He put down the fish feed and pulled back the black cloth, revealing a fish tank the size of a basin inside, as well as a small snow-white fish swimming happily in the tank. The store owner had fed it before coming here, and it was full and now full of energy.

"Wow, what a beautiful fish. You must have spent a lot of money on it." Syl Sawyer's eyes were bright and she lowered her body slightly and said in surprise.

Sylvia likes the color white. Whether it’s her sun hat, gloves or clothes, they are all white. When Hal saw this snow-white fish, he was sure that she would like it.

"Come in first." Syl Sawyer opened the glass door further and got out of the way. She originally wanted to lift the fish feed aside, but Hal picked it up first and said with a smile: "Leave it to me. Me."

The room is very uniquely decorated. On the left side near the window are two huge bookcases and a long desk. In addition to flowers and plants, there is an expensive piano on the right side. Half of the walls are sea and sky, and half are It is a landscape painting of the deep sea and giant tentacle monsters.

In the middle of the room are tea tables and sofas.

Hal placed the fish tank on the table and the fish feed in the corner of the room.

"This fish is very humane. When it is hungry and sees people, it will stare at you and keep mouthing, as if it is cursing. I thought this was its nature when I first saw it in the store. Later I found out that it was because it was hungry. .”

Syl Sawyer was amused and laughed. Hal returned to the sofa and sat down, and said: "The boss is a nice person. He gave me a lot of feed. When it is finished, you tell me and I will buy it."

"Thank you."

Today, Syl Zoya is still wearing a one-piece white dress, white gloves, and no sun hat. Her black hair is tied back by an embroidered white rope, falling vertically to her waist like a waterfall, with a strand of broken hair. The hair is swaying in the ears, and compared with the fairy spirit that I didn't know the fireworks of the world before, it has a more peaceful beauty.

She looked at the white fish in the fish tank blowing bubbles and circling back and forth, and was moved in her heart. She knew that Hal was afraid that she would be lonely, so she sent him a pet. As for why it was a fish?

Maybe it was because I just stared at the fish when I was in Fangshi of the Western Military Region, making the other party think that I like fish very much.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh at Hal's heartwarming behavior.

"Has Mr. Seale come back?" Hal asked.

"Well, my father said a few words to me outside the door, and then left in a hurry. I heard that he took many people with him to the Western Military Region to discuss business-related matters with your friends in detail."

She raised her head, looked at Hal, and said with a faint smile: "Whether it is decision-making or implementation, my father is used to doing it himself. He said that this can reduce mistakes. In fact, I know this is not the case. My father once cultivated my business ability. Maybe it’s because I don’t have this ambition and I’ve never been able to satisfy him.”

She turned her head and moved her gaze from Hal's face to the landscape painting hanging on the wall: "Although I don't have much contact with other nobles, I also know that they think they have a noble status compared to commoners. This is something I Although I don’t understand it, my father’s position in the Kingdom of Androser is not due to his aristocratic status, but to his flourishing career. My father also knows this, so he has never stopped.”

"My father, who allowed himself to work with common people, may be no different from common people in the eyes of other nobles in the Kingdom of Androser. He is no longer a noble. I also know that my father will not choose to stay here in the future. The reason why he comes back often , it’s because of me, and it’s because it’s safe here, and of course, it’s all thanks to you.”

Sil Zoya smiled sweetly and said: "He must be thinking that he wants me to live a prosperous life in the future without having to worry about life and have a carefree life. That's why he works so hard, even from being an equal to other nobles. I don't care if I become an inferior civilian."

Hal's mind moved slightly, and he saw a little sadness in Syl Sawyer's eyes. This sadness had remained in her since she left the Western Military Region.

"Whether nobles or commoners, they are essentially the same. It is the people themselves who distinguish them and make them different. This should not exist, but Mr. Seale is indeed a good father."

"But you don't have to feel too burdened by this. No matter how much love someone gives you, it's because the other person thinks it's worth it."

Syl Sawyer's eyes flashed and she whispered: "Hal, actually I..."

"What?" Hal asked.

Syl Zoya paused, shook her head, her fair cheeks turned crimson, and after a while she changed the subject: "The Lantern Festival will start in a few days, and you will come here to play by then. ?"

"Deng Yuanhui?" Hal asked doubtfully.

Only then did he remember that it seemed that it was indeed the day of the annual Lantern Festival, but he used to live in the barren area of ​​the Western Military Region and did not celebrate this festival with other military regions.

All the happiness in other military regions has never been related to the Western Military Region.

After reacting, he nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

The two chatted for most of the day, until the sky got dark and night came.

After feeding the fish that night, Hal jumped off the balcony with Syl Sawyer and headed straight for the forest behind the Eastern Military Region.

Passing through rows of tall trees, the two climbed to the highest point in the forest. The place was empty, the air was fresh, and there was no other vegetation except a piece of lawn.

The two of them were covered in pure white moonlight, sitting on the lawn, listening to the sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and the roar of wild beasts in the forest. They quietly looked at the moon and the night, chatting in the breeze.
