Chapter 11: The Rogue Tongue

【Dragon's Breath Wharf of the Radiant Moon Empire in the Western Continent】

When the first rays of light of the morning shone through the window into the hotel, it woke Ike's closed eyes, and he propped himself up with his hands, a wave of exhaustion welled up, and he moved his stiff neck and made a gurgling sound, and Ace ate and drank at the table next to him, completely ignoring Ike, who was awake.

"How long did I sleep?" Ike asked, feeling very uncomfortable watching Ace eat and drink there, Ace was frantically nibbling on a roasted golden roast duck and muttering something that I don't know what it was. Ike got out of bed and walked to the table, grabbed a glass of water and drank it, stuffed a few more pieces of beef into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and swallowed it. The food on the table had already been eaten by Ace, and after Ike's eyes were looked at Ace with disdain, he remembered what he had said to himself in his dream.

Harbinger...... This name kept echoing in his mind, and the spirit bead in his hand also subtly affected his mind after using it yesterday, and there was a kind of unspeakable change happening, which made him feel that his life was a little unreal.

Ike always felt that some memories that made him feel very strange were appearing in his mind little by little, making him a little confused, he didn't know where those memories came from, it could be some strange memories brought to him by the spirit bead, in his mind, several fragments kept repeating, making him a little trance.

"Boy, are you awake?" Cruise kicked the door open and walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, behind him, Mars was smiling at him in a very loose and comfortable robe, and he saw Anne behind Mars, pouting, as if a little sullen.

"Violent Mania...... Oh my God...... Isn't it time to go? Ike asked Cruise, but he sighed, put his hand on Ike's head, and said viciously, "Seriously, I really want to break your neck right now, the Orientals have lost a team of Onmyoji, you know?" They suspected that we had secretly done away with those onmyoji, and as a result, they actually made some inexplicable conditions, telling me to hand you over to them, I really don't understand, do those guys really care so much about a spirit bead? Or is it just trying to stir up trouble? ”

"It must have been that Lan's idea, I know, boy, let's just kill her, it's too annoying." Ace floated on the side and said very indifferently, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was beaten to the ground by Anne's fist, and Mars saw nothing, coughed twice, and said:

"I think, Ike, it's better for you to talk to her, she didn't come hard this time, it should be that she has already been soft, and continuing to collide can only make the Orientals lose their troops, which is not good for the expedition, so just talk to them, after all, it is in the territory of our Scorching Guild, they don't dare to do anything." Mars was right, Ike thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at Cruise as if to tell him something, and Cruise nodded knowingly when he met his eyes.

After Ike walked out of the room, two masked Orientals saluted him and motioned him to go with them, Cruise pulled Ike behind him and walked in front of him, Ike followed behind Cruise, the two Orientals didn't say anything when they saw this, Mars followed behind Ike and patted him on the shoulder, Ace was pinched by Anne's ears and walked in the direction of Mars, Ace looked tangled.

Ike and they walked into a room, Lan was wearing an oriental cheongsam and was standing by the window looking at the scenery, the three princes were sitting in front of the screen, the decoration of the room was completely oriental style, obviously, it was well arranged, the three princes saw Ike walk in, the grumpy Bai Fenghou snorted, and poked the long sword in his hand to the ground fiercely, making an impolite sound, Cruise, who was walking in front, frowned and looked at Bai Fenghou, his momentum collided with Bai Fenghou's momentum, The air in the room felt like it had frozen.

"Ahem, three, we're here to negotiate today, not to fucking fight!" Lord Lan's words were still normal in front, but the foul language in the back still made Lu Yunhou a little entangled.

"May I greet your parents politely?" Ike said in a very scoundrel tone, his hand touching the bridge of his nose before he knew it.

"Bold!" "Presumptuous!" "Evil Barrier!" The three princes stood up angrily and roared at Ike, extremely powerful. But Cruise just gave him a cold look, and took the cigarette out of his mouth, exuding an aura that was on par with the three of them, but Cruise obviously didn't show anything unusual, and the three princes were indeed a little surprised.

"Ah, Cruise has already reached this height, it's really surprising, he wasn't so strong when he went on the last expedition." Mars said with a smile, Cruise smiled and didn't speak, and Lan on the side said angrily:

"Three, can the other two get out of here? I'm going to talk to this kid alone! He used the word roll very decisively at these five people, and a red dragon pattern appeared from her forehead, as soon as the dragon pattern appeared, Lan's aura was stronger than everyone present, this is the momentum brought by the pure royal blood of the Red Dragon Empire, they can proudly say that there is no race in this world that is as powerful as their family, and this dragon pattern gives them a god-given power and terrifying aura.

Cruise and Mars looked at the three princes, and they walked out of the room together, at this time only Ike and Lan were left in the room, of course, if you count Ace and Anne in the ghost state, it should be four people.

"I don't want to make a big deal out of it, so you'd better give me back my spirit beads, otherwise, you will be hunted down by the Empire for the rest of your life, and no matter where you are, thousands of assassins will find you until you are broken into pieces!" Lan threatened with her momentum, but she was wrong.

Ike dug his nostrils, not shaken by Ran's momentum at all, it seemed that Ike had become numb to such a thing as momentum, his perception of energy told him that Lan only had a huge momentum, and his own strength was not so strong, anyway, it was far from Cruise, if he wanted to fight Lan at this distance now, he still had a fifty percent chance of winning, but he would never fight with Lan, not because he didn't dare, but because he didn't bring his long sword......

"So, do you want to achieve your own goals by intimidating me? Don't be stupid, little lord, your strength and your momentum are not commensurate at all, there is a huge momentum, but unfortunately, it has no effect, God, don't blame me for telling the truth, oh, you are really a naïve girl. Ike's words made Ran's brow furrow, and she looked at Ike, unable to say a word, because Ike was right.

"Therefore, it is not a good thing to rashly negotiate with a scoundrel when you are not strong enough. Little county lord, I'm a lot more difficult than you pampered guys, not only do I have to serve a perverted captain every day, but I also have to take care of the life of a little bastard, damn God, I really don't want to praise you, but what can I do? Ike began to talk about something completely inconsequential, which made Lan feel a little puzzled, what did what Ike said had to do with her.

"Spirit beads? So, Lingzhu, yes, where do I deserve this kind of thing? This is the noble stuff of the Red Dragon Empire, me? A scoundrel is not worthy of such a powerful magic weapon. But Lord Lan, you know, if I can't use this thing, why don't I give it back to you? Yes, but how can I have the so-called spirit beads you are talking about? Ike's words became more and more incoherent, making Lan Du a little confused, the dragon pattern on her forehead disappeared unconsciously, and she listened to Ike say those inconsequential words in a daze.

"Think about it, there are three princes by your side, those three princes, just call one and kill ten people like me, not only that, you also have an army that can be used with a wave of your hand, right, that kind of army, even a regiment, can set foot in the city where I am, right, so, I am a weak person, think about it, I, a scoundrel who lives by praising God all day long, suddenly the sky is blessed, think about it, how can I give this Hongyou to others?" Ike looked at Lan who was stunned by herself, she actually nodded as if she was stunned, but she shook her head again in a flash, and looked at Ike angrily:

"That's not right! You're not right! The orb in your hand is mine! You snatched my orb! He didn't give it to you from heaven! That's what my mother gave me! ”

"Wrong! Little county lord! You're such a fool! Are you sure that this bead in my hand is really your spirit bead? Is this a string of beads? Look at this thing in my hand, how could you lose the spirit bead, okay, I just understand, you originally fell in love with the bead in my hand, oh my God, this is a relic left to me by my outdated old mother, you have taken a fancy to it? No, no, no, how can I give away my mother's relics to others? No, I can't meet your request. I am a dutiful child. Watching Ike's rogue performance, Ace and Anne were almost silly laughing, I have to say that Ike's kung fu is really amazing.

"It's my thing, I have the ability to bring it to me and let me try it! Don't you dare, you creature weaker than a dog, tougher than a snake! Bring it and I'll prove to you that this thing is mine! Lan said anxiously, Ike pretended to be embarrassed, screaming one by one, unable to distinguish whether it was praise or abuse, and then reluctantly handed the beads to Lan. She took it with joy, but no amount of fiddling could drive the bead.

"This ...... How is this possible! This bead ...... Why not answer my call! She was a little anxious, and even the dragon pattern appeared, but the beads still didn't change.

"Look, look, this bead is just an ordinary bead, and if you think you've seen him driven in my hands up close, all I can say is, you're dazzled, I'm a scoundrel, isn't I? Aha, you must want to say that, yes, I'm a scoundrel, but this bead is not what you say about the spirit bead, otherwise how could you not drive it, so, little lord, you can do it, let me go, I still have to work, feed a guy who eats and drinks for nothing, God is above, take that guy away for me one day, if that's the case, I will thank you for your favor. Ike smiled, took the beads from the pale Lan hand, and walked out with a smile on his face, not forgetting to say a word before leaving:

"Oh, I almost forgot, little county lord, don't forget to tell your family master for me, oh no, no, no, it is the respected Emperor Hao and Emperor Cao who convey my heartfelt respect." After Ike finished speaking, he walked out, leaving Lan alone in the room and muttering in a mess, she always felt that something was wrong, it was obviously her own spirit bead, why, but she didn't respond to her call......

"Boy, there is a set, fooling the little girl to be stunned for a while, how did you manage to make that spirit bead not respond to the little girl's call?" Ace was also a little curious, but Ike smiled slyly and said:

"How do I know, I guess I used it too much last time, there is no energy, such a spirit bead, my dear God will not show its spirit when summoned, haha." With that, Ike left the hotel, Cruise and Mars had already gone to the docks, the ships of the expedition were waiting on the docks, the first rays of the morning light had faded, and on the calm sea, a fiery red halo poured from the horizon, illuminating the docks red.

It's like a dream that lasts forever.
