Endless Debt

"That's pretty much what happened. Church was calm, but I think he got angry and left without saying a word."

In the Undead Club, Palmer drunkenly chatted with several people about what had just happened.

After Church left, the interest of the three of them was gone. Not to mention that the three of them could not continue the board game. They simply left the Landing District and returned to the Undead Club. At least they could find a few people here. .

"Damn Palmer, you ruined tonight's board game!" Sere yelled from the side.

Serei didn't care about Church's emotional problems. To be precise, Serei didn't care about anything. This guy lived for fun for the rest of his life, and everything had to be compromised for fun.

Palmer ruined "Journey to the End of the Night", and their game had just begun.

Burlogo didn't say much. He felt that this was a matter between Palmer and Church. The two had been partners. Even though Palmer told himself many past experiences, there were some things that only Palmer could And Church himself knows.

Just like this part with the Faceless Man and Afia.

"You should let Church do this by himself instead of adding fuel to the fire."

After hearing what happened, Weier walked up and down the chessboard, knocking over the pieces one by one.

"I know, but if you let Church solve it by himself, it will be nothing."

Palmer reached out and picked up Weier from the chessboard and put it aside. Weier sat there honestly, with her tail circling around her body.

"Ever since I met Church, he has been pursuing Afia... Oh, this shouldn't be called pursuit. His actions were just to buy flowers, and this lasted for a year or two."

Palmer shook his head more and more as he talked, unable to bear Church's slow hesitation.

"If Church buys it again, he will only be a relatively wealthy customer!" Palmer slapped Church on the thigh for not living up to expectations.

"So you want to help Church?" Boluogo fiddled with the chess pieces.

"That's right... If Church continues like this, he will only bury the secret in his heart. This is too bad."

Palmer calmed down and stared at the railroad tracks on the chessboard, passing through the mountains and ridges, and walking through the snowy and dusty world...

"Everyone is an undoubted expert in what they are good at, but in some unfamiliar aspects, they are a group of complete idiots."

"It sounds like you know a lot about it," Bologo said.

Palmer said, "I don't know much about it, I just experienced it."

"Tell me?"

When Sere gets interested, he can't stop playing board games, but it's great to listen to stories. Sere likes all kinds of stories. When he was still the lord of the Night Tribe, he established a team of maids in the castle. What the maids had to do every day was to coax Sere to sleep and tell him bedtime stories.

When they heard about this past, both Boluogo and Palmer had complicated expressions, but Sere looked like he was immersed in a beautiful feeling.

"That was when I was just about to join the Bureau of Order."

Palmer recalled the past. Actually, it wasn't that long ago. It had only been two or three years since Palmer had been in the Order Bureau for a full period of time.

"As the heirs of the Clerks family, the Bureau of Order is not only a collection of alliances for us, but also an extension of the power of the Clerks family. For this reason, every generation of the Clerks family has people joining the Bureau of Order and holding important positions. I am no exception.

I didn’t have any complicated ideas at the time. I just thought of it as going to work in a strange place. Anyway, now that I’m old, it’s time to work away from home. I packed my luggage and was about to leave. The night before departure, Wo Siren approached me. "

Palmer was silent for a moment, then suddenly shut up.

Sere shouted, "Keep talking!"

"No...I suddenly realized that telling this story might affect my heroic image..."

"You have a fart image, say it faster!"

Weier raised the cat's paw, its cold claws shining brightly.

"Okay, okay!" Palmer raised his hands in surrender. He began to regret mentioning these things.

"At that time, my relationship with Vosilin was just childhood sweethearts. I admitted that I had a crush on her, but just like Church, I kept silent and didn't dare to tell her."

Weier whispered, "Even the heir of the Clerks family would turn into a fool when encountering such a thing."

"Hey! I heard it!" Palmer said anxiously.

Palmer was about to have an attack, but was deflated like a ball and murmured.

"Hearing that I was leaving home to work, Vosilin came to see me. I thought there would be some difficult parting plot, but in fact...well...

She asked me if I was going to work in the Order Bureau, and I nodded in the affirmative. She added that the Order Bureau was very dangerous, and would I face many terrible enemies. I nodded in agreement, and comforted her by saying that this kind of I'm mentally prepared for this, so don't worry too much.

Yes, as early as the coming-of-age ceremony, I was indoctrinated with all this deadly knowledge by my damn dad. How could I not be mentally prepared? "

Palmer became angry when he mentioned his wonderful father and his fatal coming-of-age ceremony.

Bologg still remembers Palmer's coming-of-age ceremony. Every time he thinks of this, even the serious Bologg can't help but want to laugh.

"Son, welcome to the new world!"

With the kind words of the old father, a crazy and weird world thundered in front of a child's eyes, scaring Palmer to the core.

Oh my God, that's terrible. Doesn't Palmer's comedy talent come from his own experience, but from his father, the Klax family?

"I explained a lot to Wosilin and told her not to worry, but she didn't listen at all. Instead, she told me with a serious face..."

Palmer imitated Vosilin's serious tone at that time.

"Palmer, you are an unlucky guy..."

"Stop it! Unlucky man?" Sere raised his hand to interrupt Palmer. "Have you become a debtor from then on?"

"Huh? No, it's just that my luck has not been very good since I was a child." Palmer looked embarrassed when mentioning this. "After becoming a debtor, my bad luck became more and more obvious."

Burlogo tried not to laugh.

Hahaha!

"Back to business."

Palmer recounted what Vosilin said to him at that time. He rarely remembered something so clearly, let alone remembered a person's words word for word.

Palmer will remember the conversation that night, all of which has been carved into his heart like a sword.

"Palmer, you are an unlucky man. You may go to such a dangerous place and die one day, and then disappear with all the secrets buried in your heart... This is too pitiful."

A smile appeared on Palmer's face unconsciously, "Actually, I didn't quite understand what she meant at the time."

Sere asked, "What then?"

"Then Vosilin forcibly kissed me."

"ah?"

"ah?"

"Meow?"

Palmer's expression was filled with shame and anger, "What can I do! I can't resist her at all! Ever since I was a child, I have never defeated that bastard!"

"She pushed me against the wall and forcibly kissed me. Then she smiled at me and left. I was completely confused and couldn't sleep all night."

"The next day, my dad saw me looking dejected and said cheerfully," Palmer said even more outrageously, "He is indeed my son. He knew he was going to fight evil. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep." ah!"

Serei no longer knew what expression to put on.

When I think of the great Night Clan and the soon-to-be-rising Eternal Night Empire, they were destroyed by the Klex family, and now this ancient and powerful extraordinary family has such a weird style...

Are these people really the same people who fought us to the death in the Dawn War?

Se Lei raised his forehead slightly, even the Lord of the Night Clan was a little doubtful about life at this moment.

"After arriving at the Bureau of Order, it took me a few weeks to slowly understand what Wosilin said," Palmer said quietly, "She knew that I liked her, and she also knew that I didn't dare to say it. If I died, If they are outside, then these feelings will never see the light of day again.”

"Instead of waiting for you to react, Vosilin chose to tear apart this barrier by herself?" Bologo said.

"Absolutely. It was then that I realized belatedly that I actually had a girlfriend, and I was happy for a long time."

"Shouldn't it be the fiancée?"

Boluogo noticed that there was something wrong with Palmer's choice of words. When he mentioned his "fiancee", Palmer's expression changed slightly. It was unclear whether it was joy or trouble. In short, it was very complicated.

"How should I put it? I thought I had a girlfriend, and I was excited to show it off to others. After working for almost a year, my dad came to the Order Bureau to visit me and asked me if my work was going well, and then... "

Palmer recalled the original scene.

"Yo! My son, he's still alive!"

"Hey! Dad, your body is still strong!"

The two met at the Bureau of Order, and Palmer talked about his work experience. He encountered many problems. Fortunately, Palmer received extremely complete training at the Clerks' home, and he handled them perfectly. Lost.

Palmer's father talked about what happened in Fengyuan Heights after Palmer left.

"By the way, Wosilin..."

As soon as his father mentioned Woxilin, Palmer said in a show-off manner, "I have chased Wosilin, and she is now my girlfriend."

Palmer was beaming with joy. His father used to tease him about Wosselin. Now Palmer finally won a round. But his father was not surprised. Instead, he nodded and corrected him.

"How can you say she is your girlfriend?"

"if not?"

"She is already your fiancée, you can't call her your girlfriend anymore."

"Oh, I see," Palmer sensed something was wrong, "Stop...what did you say?"

"Fiancée?"

"Fiancée...fiancée!"

Palmer's scream echoed through the Bureau of Order.

…

"It turns out that after I left Fengyuan Highlands, Vosilin went to my father and told him about what happened that night in a more elaborate way."

Back in the present, Palmer tells the story with a deadpan expression.

"Woxilin was afraid that I would die outside and this emotion would be buried, but she was also afraid that I would go out of Fengyuan Highland and get involved with others."

Palmer pinched his chin as he spoke, "After all, I am somewhat charming, so Wosilin's concern is understandable."

Having said that, Palmer's face turned pale, as if he was telling a joke that wasn't funny.

"So Woxilin just stopped doing nothing, went to my dad, and proposed to me.

Well, you heard it right, I was the one who was proposed to, and my dad actually agreed, and they even held the engagement party.

Of course, no one informed me, no one..."

Palmer leaned weakly on the back of the chair and began to slide toward the bottom of the table.

“The explanation they gave was that I was performing the tasks of the Bureau of Order at the time and it was not good for me to be distracted, and I also like Wo Xilin, so I will definitely agree...

Just like that, I have a fiancée. "

Palmer slid to the bottom of the table, like a pale body that had lost its soul, while Boluogo was half-lying on the table. After a long time, unsuppressed laughter could be heard faintly. In the end, everyone stopped pretending, and all kinds of The laughter continued.
