The zombie virus is spreading more and more, and Raymond is also a little worried about Old Mark.

Now the urban areas after the 20th district have been isolated, and it has become a paradise for zombies.

If it is in the game, players may be ecstatic, because there are a few more monster-dense areas, and the nearly a million zombies represent a lot of experience.

In the game, players are fearless about farming zombies, even if they are infected and die, resurrecting can quickly make up for the lost experience.

Raymond also once imagined to kill zombies to gain potential points, but this is the real world after all, and if he is infected, he will be in big trouble. He didn't dare to bet on whether the vampire bloodline would be immune to the virus, so he had to give up the idea.

Nearly a million zombies... One plus a little potential point will make all of his skills reach the max!

......

The fifteenth arrondissement, which is the watershed between the aristocratic and commoner neighborhoods, is also a neighborhood where the lower nobles and those super-rich merchants who do not have titles gather.

Raymond was the Baron of the Territory, and he was given a small two-bedroom apartment here. Although the space is also cramped, it is much larger than the old house in the 23rd arrondissement.

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

Raymond knocked on the door with a large pile of things.

He estimated that he would soon go to sea with Anna, and he didn't know when he would return.

Perhaps, it will be gone.

I simply came to see Mark and settled him down, and I could completely end the last obsession left by my predecessor.

With a click, the door opened from the inside.

"How are you?"

Raymond frowned when he saw that the person who opened the door was Luna.

At this moment, she is wearing a simple long dress, and there is no heavy makeup on her face, which looks much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Luna didn't expect it to be Raymond knocking on the door, and a flash of horror and embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

"Where's Daddy Mark?"

Raymond didn't intend to pay much attention to her, and asked indifferently.

Although he had a bad impression of the three sisters, after all, Ruth and Sissi died in his hands, and he was relieved of the only surviving "sister". Moreover, now they are not people of the same world at all, and it is not worth paying attention to at all.

"Little Raymond, are you here?"

Even if he didn't see anyone, Old Mark's rough voice came from the kitchen, "Daddy is frying sea fish now, you can't spare your hands, you can come in and sit for a while, and you can start the meal soon." ”

At this time,

Luna obediently opened the door for him, and leaned sideways, as if she were a maid waiting for her master to come home, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look directly.

Raymond frowned slightly, ignored her, and walked straight in.

In his mind, if this woman really dared to do anything crooked, this time she would simply never suffer again.

In the house, the smell of vegetables is overflowing.

Old Mark knew that Raymond was coming back, so he made a large table full of sumptuous dishes.

Raymond put the things he brought in the locker and sat down at the dinner table. He is the owner of this house, so naturally there is no need to be polite.

Luna, on the other hand, stood in the corner of the room, fiddling, pinching the corners of her clothes, shivering.

After a while, Old Mark came out with a pot of golden fried hairtail, which was fragrant and appetizing for a while.

"Yo, Daddy Mark is a good worker."

"Of course, this is the famous dish 'Golden Moray Eel' that I asked the imperial chef of the palace on the sea boat back then..."

"You've ever been on a ship with a palace cook?"

"Not only that... This Black Sea, Dad, is not a place I have been to many times when I was young. ”

"Hehe..."

Raymond knew that Old Mark's penchant for bragging was back in here.

But at this moment, he saw the fat woman who slowly came out of the kitchen, and her relaxed expression suddenly froze somewhere.

This fat woman is Bella, who has a cramped face.

Old Mark also found that the atmosphere was wrong, laughed dryly, and explained: "Aunt Bella saw that her father was very lonely living alone, so she moved in..."

Raymond glanced at her coldly and didn't speak.

This kind of vicious woman is really haunted, I am afraid that I will see that I have become a nobleman and moved to the fifteenth district, and I will follow me shamelessly.

Bella, who had lost two women, seemed to have been completely smoothed out, she looked at Raymond and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, little Raymond... I did something wrong in the past, can I forgive my aunt? ”

Raymond didn't bother to pay attention to her, and picked up a piece of eel and chewed it in his mouth.

The atmosphere in the room was awkward.

He is now a baron and the owner of the house, and everything is now his.

He also has the absolute right to let this fat woman get out of this room immediately.

Bella probably also realized that she had done too much evil in the past and was not forgiven at all. She rarely didn't get angry, but was docile like a lost dog, and said with a gloomy expression: "Since our mother and daughter are not welcome here, then we will leave... Goodbye, Mark. ”

As he spoke, he was really ready to pack up and leave.

Raymond was unmoved, he knew that this fat woman was a bitter trick.

Sure enough, the old Mark on the side immediately pulled her, sat down at the dinner table, and said, "It's all a family, where are you going!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Raymond, with a pleading look on his face, and said, "Little Raymond, what do you say?" ”

Although Raymond is disgusted with Bella, the vicious fat woman. But after losing her two daughters, her momentum does not feel so domineering. The most important thing is... Old Mark seems to have deep feelings for her. He has been lonely for most of his life, and it is good to have someone as his companion.

If you still have to think carefully, kill it again.

Thinking of this, Raymond didn't mind, and said lightly: "Daddy Mark, you just decide." ”

Hearing this, old Mark smiled happily, and he said happily to Bella like a child inviting merit: "I'll just say, my little Raymond is the kindest person in the world." ”

Seeing this scene, Bella's expression was still very embarrassed, but it was also relieved.

At this time, Old Mark saw Luna standing by the door, and greeted her with the same joy, "Luna, why are you still standing, come and eat together?" ”

But as soon as he said that, he also noticed that Luna's expression was strange, and her eyes seemed to glance at Raymond from time to time, faintly fearful.

Mark and Bella are obviously unaware, and it seems that Luna is also very knowledgeable and does not tell him about killing the Ruth sisters. Raymond didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad, and said lightly: "You can also come and eat together." ”

Hearing this, Luna was pardoned.

She walked over, sat down cautiously at the table, a table of four, and began to eat in such a angry and embarrassed manner.

"Let's try Daddy's handiwork..."

Old Mark kept serving Raymond food, and he felt that this period was the most glorious moment of his life.

He still remembers that when he moved, those workers who had been with him for decades were very envious, and after hearing that little Raymond became a nobleman, he almost didn't clean up the words of praise in his stomach.

Of course, it's a pity that he can't show off to his old friends in District 23 anymore.

These 15 arrondissements have a paradise on earth, with the best quality food, the best shops, the cleanest and spacious streets, and the key is that they are still safe, and you don't have to worry about being robbed by dirty robbers when you go out at night...

It turns out that you need to buy flowers at a high price, but here you have planted a lot of flowers casually on the side of the road, and no one has picked them yet... There are clinics on every street with doctors and beautiful nurses... Also, the aristocratic ladies in their splendid costumes were so beautiful that he could assure them that any one of them was prettier than all the women in the twenty-third arrondissement...

Unfortunately, the lord announced that the sea railroad had been cut off, and ships could no longer travel back and forth. Many people in the territory knew that they had been isolated for a few blocks because of the plague, but no one knew how serious the epidemic was.

Mark Sr. was still thinking that when the quarantine was lifted, he would go back to visit those old friends.

......

After dinner, Luna helped clean up the table.

She wanted to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but old Mark asked him to stay in the living room to cultivate a brother-sister relationship.

But he didn't know that when only she and Raymond were left in the room, the atmosphere was even more awkward.

Luna didn't dare to sit still, just standing alone in the corner, like a prisoner waiting to be released.

"Come here."

Finally, Raymond couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Luna panicked for a moment and walked over quickly, fearing that she would upset him if she slowed down. In her opinion, I am afraid that only she in the family knows the horror of Raymond, and the seemingly tepid teenager in front of her is actually a real demon who kills people without blinking.

Not only did he kill Ruth and Sissi, but he also heard that he killed a big nobleman!

She thought of the words that the two of them had talked in front of the library before, and she was faintly afraid, why was she so stupid at that time, listening to other people's demagoguery, and going down in public to pay back the money and beg for mercy?

Apparently someone was taking advantage of me, I was so stupid!

Could it be that he's going to kill me now?

Even though Luna was trembling with fear, she didn't dare to show the slightest surprise, and just stood at the table honestly.

At this time, she watched Raymond take out a test tube containing a black potion, and her heart chuckled!

This... Could it be poison?

He's going to poison me?

If I didn't drink it, wouldn't he kill me right away...

Boundless fear struck Luna's heart, and the moment she saw the potion, her legs went limp, and she fell to her knees, and said, "You... Please, let me go... I really didn't know last time, I don't dare anymore..."

"Stand up!."

Raymond said coldly, he didn't expect that such a move would scare her like this. He didn't want old Mark to see this scene and guess too much.

Hearing this commanding tone, Luna, even though she was afraid, immediately stood up slowly on the table legs. She tried to keep her legs from shaking, trying to stand up straight, but she found that she couldn't.

Are you really going to die...

Just when she was extremely desperate, she suddenly heard Raymond say, "This 60% pure potion should be enough to make you advanced to the extraordinary. ”

What the?

This is not a poison, but a transcendent potion?

Luna's expression was shocked instantly, she looked at the potion, and then at Raymond's expression, and her fear turned into a surprise for the rest of her life. He could easily kill himself, and he certainly wouldn't deceive himself with the poison.

Raymond then said lightly: "In the future, after advancing to the extraordinary, take good care of old Mark... If I can give it to you, I can naturally take it back. If I let me know what else you have in mind, I will definitely kill you without hesitation. ”

"Yes..."

Luna nodded in fright.

The cold word "kill" made her heart tremble when she heard it.

Only then did she realize that she had been stained with Old Mark's light.

Old Mark moved to the fifteenth arrondissement, and the work of a natural boilermaker could no longer be done. This is an aristocratic neighborhood that does not have a stable income to match, and it will be difficult to live in the future. Raymond originally planned to leave a sum of money for Old Mark, but now it seems that if Luna really changes her mind, it would be good to have such a transcendent person in the family, at least she won't have to worry about life in the future.

Raymond saw that he hadn't received the potion for a long time, pushed the test tube over, and said, "You only have one chance, take advantage of it." ”

"Got it."

Luna was speechless with emotion. She didn't expect that they would insult him so much in the past, and Raymond would actually give himself a potion regardless of his previous suspicions?

At this moment, Old Mark and Bella also finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen.

Luna immediately wiped away her tears and hid the potion in her sleeve.

Old Mark saw that there was something wrong with Luna's expression, he glanced at Raymond and said, "Little Raymond, you come to the balcony with me, and I'll tell you something." ”

Raymond thought Mark Sr. would ask about the tears on Luna's face, but he didn't expect it to be at all.

......

The view of this small building is very good, and the balcony at the back of the house directly faces the sea, with a great view. Blowing the sea breeze and looking at the seabirds soaring in the distance, people unconsciously relaxed.

Old Mark took his pipe out of his pocket, stuffed it with shredded tobacco and lit it, and took a sip.

As soon as the faint smoke ring took shape, a sea breeze blew and disappeared in an instant.

"Little Raymond, are you ready to sail to sea?"

Raymond glanced at Mark, and didn't intend to hide it from him, "How do you know?" ”

The view from the balcony is extremely wide, with clouds and clouds in the distance, and a line between the sea and the sky. Several steam cruise ships of huge tonnage slowly passed in front of them, leaving long splayed waves on the sea.

Old Mark said rather wistfully: "Because... Daddy was as young as you were. Seeing that you bought so many things and came back today, I knew that you had grown up and wanted to go out and see the outside world. ”

After a pause, he continued, "When are you going to sail?" ”

Raymond said: "It's not decided yet, it's just these three or two months." ”

"Oh."

Old Mark seemed a little sad, but he disappeared.

He took several puffs of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke ring vigorously, as if all those troubles had really disappeared as the smoke ring dissipated.

After a long time, he suddenly said again: "Little Raymond, if you have the opportunity to go to the royal capital in the future and bring a letter to a certain lady for me, of course, maybe she is no more..."

"Bring a letter?"

When Raymond heard this, he was a little puzzled, old Mark still has old knowledge in the royal capital?

However, he had never seen such a stunned look on Old Mark's face.

"If you can, find a lady named 'Evalis Baylor', whose family used to run a jewelry store. Maybe she changed her name after getting married, just in case... If you can't find it, forget it. If you find it... Just tell her that the cowardly sailor didn't show up for the appointment because he failed to advance to the extraordinary..."

Old Mark said, his cloudy eyes gradually became moist, I don't know if it was because of the smoke or the sea breeze.

It turns out that everyone has been young, and everyone has had that high-spirited age. Even the little old man in front of him, who has been dealing with boilers for half his life, was once a high-spirited young man with the desire to slay dragons!

Raymond listened to old Mark tell the story of his youth for the first time,

The young man who was a sailor on a big ship met a rich young lady, and the two met each other and left a romantic memory. But the rich lady's family definitely didn't want her to marry an unknown sailor, and did everything possible to thwart this relationship... The boy didn't want to suffer with him, so he refused her invitation to elope... At that time, he vowed to become a great transcendent before coming back to marry her.

He said, when I advance to the extraordinary, I will marry you openly.

She said, I'll wait for you.

This parting is most of my life.

After all, providence made people, that young man failed to advance to the extraordinary many times, and his arrogance was wiped out by failure after failure.

He thought, after all these years, that girl should also get married.

The young man didn't have the face to go to the royal capital to see the girl again, so he went away and found a job as a boilermaker, and worked in decadence for thirty years.

It turns out that the adventure story that old Mark has been hanging on his lips is not bragging,

When I was young,

He really sailed to sea,

Measure the vast sea with your feet.

He was also a teenager who set sail with a dream,

Just like Raymond is now.

......

For a few days,

finally

Sodros's descendants arrived at Philip's Territory.
