Chapter 133: Fifteen Days at Sea (7)
Hablon returned to the high platform, where he could not only see the whole ship, but also enjoy the best service on deck.
It's like an open-air barbecue queue, and if Heru isn't too shady, it's perfect with music and blue waters.
Naturally, it is not easy to be invited here, and now there are only three people in total, in addition to Hablon and Hosdi, there is also His Excellency Victor, the lord of Haimon City.
Unlike Hosty, who had come aboard the ship with some kind of ulterior secret, Victor had come here for a much simpler purpose - he hoped to spur his unsuccessful son with the naked dealings on board.
This Lord Victor is very old, although the Heru people have a long lifespan, and the stronger they are, the longer they live, but he also has a lifespan of more than 4,000 years. It is not so much that he has a son in old age as a son at the end of his life, and he is naturally extremely fond of him.
So, like most parents, the child was spoiled.
There are very few stubborn children in Heru, except for the simplicity of the people and the low overall cultural quality, people will always stubbornly believe in something, such as fists, such as gold coins, but they do not believe in the continuation of the right to rule. Although the city lord of Hosdi has been passed down from generation to generation, it is also fought by each generation of Hosdi with his fists to subdue everyone.
Or could this young Hostdy raise his arms and escort fifty mercenaries and himself on board?
So Victor was very anxious, he already vaguely felt the call of Styx. But his son was not so anxious, he still played as he wanted, and lived out from a maverick stubbornness.
Charlie's movements just now were all seen by the city lord, and he couldn't wait to pull his son's ear and yell, "See it!" Learned! If you become like this, I won't be able to jump right now! ”
But in fact, he can't do it, and he can only hope for his self-reflection, hoping that one day he can have an epiphany and then mature a little more.
If that doesn't work, then the only way to do that is to go to the Vadans to help him, at least the contract concluded with gold coins is more convincing. Although it will be bullied by those businessmen very badly, it is better than becoming cannon fodder for Hablon.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Hablon quietly.
……
Although Hablon could not fully know what Victor thought, he could guess it, but none of this was his business. Whether Haimeng City is pro-Wadan or pro-Mi Chaoren, it has nothing to do with him, all he wants is for the other party to provide the same service as Peric City when the ship arrives in Haimeng City six days later. He didn't want to care about anything else like long-distance and close attack, strategizing, and planning until the last resort.
Although he is smart, he is still a hipster in his bones, and he hates to use his brain very much, especially after he has strong strength.
So at every moment, he would miss his slave named Ash immensely. How is he doing, where is he, what is he doing, dead or not, and if he dies, who will do it......
"I wish he were alive," said Hablon, touching his robe, "so that he might die at my hand." ”
……
Charlie finally got his wish and walked side by side with Grace for a while, and in the eyes of others, this man and woman talked happily, not at all like they were inseparable from each other a second ago.
In the early hours of the morning, the people on the deck were returning one after another, and Grace said goodbye to Charlie and returned to the cabin with the only two remaining escorts.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the cabin of the Nagfar is the most luxurious in history, and it is completely worthy of its high price of hundreds of thousands of dollars and often exceeding one million. The cabins are more of a presidential suite than guest rooms, with multiple kitchens and bathrooms, and even a war discussion room with a sand table and blackboard, which can accommodate guests with a large number of escorts without looking crowded at all.
Before Grace and the others returned, there were a few remaining people gathered in the living room.
The old butler Bane was left behind in Vadan City, and the Ambri werewolf clinged to his oath and refused to let the Sherlock family fall into a leaderless situation, and then be eaten away by outsiders who were eyeing him. With Andrew's help, he finds Sherlock's illegitimate son in the slums.
Bane initially suspects that this is Andrew's trap and is wary of the twelve-year-old, but Surya consults with Celio in the scrolls and confirms that it is indeed Sherlock's bloodline, which reassures him. The old butler took the boy back, named him Mowgli, and intended to raise him to inherit the crumbling family.
Glazer and the old butler have always had a good relationship, and the two have a feeling of sympathy for each other. Although this separation was a bit reluctant, he respected the other party's choice, and gave him the potion recipe that had always helped Bane maintain his sanity, and promised to come back to help him lift the curse if he had the chance.
So only these people were left on board. Glazer is the butler, Jerry and Ricky are dressed as goblins, and the rest of them play the role of subordinates.
During the time when they had nothing to do, they were playing a game of war chess to relax.
This was invented by Mu Yan in this month, he combined the gameplay of Monopoly on the earth, and also borrowed some of the rules of DND to create such a game with a strange drawing style. Unexpectedly, it was widely praised by the people around it as soon as it came out.
In this game, players will take on the role of a mercenary, rolling twelve dice to run around the square map of Heru, passing through various city-states and jungles full of monsters along the way.
That is, I returned to the original starting point, standing in front of the mirror in a daze, facing my naked self......
Walking around the map means twenty years, and after five laps it's fishing season, depending on the wealth you make along the way, you can buy different levels of slaves - i.e. get a variety of cards, skills or traps. Using these cards will allow you to have more room to maneuver, such as lagging or moving ahead of the move, getting more rounds of action on a regular basis, and even intervening with other characters.
The game does not end in earnest, and often ends with the strong side's firm control of the scene, that is, the opponent is humiliated and leaves the table angrily.
If you can come up with such an inappropriate rule, you will have to say it. No wonder he's the one who gives a headache to an undisciplined company like Villefort.
……
"My turn, roll the dice!"
Uno's eyes widened, panting and shouting. He's already rolled the minimum "1" for four consecutive rounds, and he can't help but be a little discouraged when he sees that others have walked half a map and he hasn't stepped out of this swamp yet.
The dice rolled a "12", but before he could have fun, he was interrupted.
"Activate the skill card, 'Irresistible Candy'." Glazer smiled and threw out a card.
Irresistible candy: It's so delicious that you can't resist it, so you can't take a step out of your legs. Skill Card: No matter how many points the target rolls this turn, it is treated as "1", and this effect has the highest priority.
"No - my '12'! Forget it, I'll quit! Uno fell backwards with his head in his hands, slumping to the ground.
"The first eliminator." The old man smiled and looked at Eric and Surya, two of whom were stubbornly resisting.
As for Tom, he was eliminated at the beginning of the "rock-paper-scissors" session that decided the contestants......
"It's my turn." Eric carefully took the dice and looked at the Glazer as if thinking about the cards in his opponent's hand.
"Activate the skill card, 'Mia's Blessing', and resist the next directional skill." After that, he rolled the dice.
The dice tickled and turned, revealing a "6" at the end.
"It's finally time to leave Hosdy." Eric was excited, but then the bad news came.
"No, no, Mr. Eric, you triggered my trap card." The old man pulled out a card with the back pointing upwards.
Star Library: If there is a so-called truth other side in the world, it must be in the Star Library. Trap Cards: Open the door to the Library's Secret Hall when someone rolls a "6" or a multiple of "6" on the spot. This character will lose his mobility for 3 turns, and if he has the skill card "Jialan Honors", he will get 3 random skill cards, if not, nothing will happen.
There is no doubt that Eric doesn't have "Plus Blue Honors", and because it's a trap card, "Mia's Blessing" won't help him resist this effect, which means he'll waste three rounds in vain.
"You won, Mr. Glazer."
Our writer pouted, dropped his cards and quit the game.
So Surya was left alone.
