Julius met Rei at a dock in the harbor. Rei was sitting on the edge with a basket in her arm, a piece of bread in her hand, and she was eating vigorously. Her calves slid across the water, ripples spreading from her toes. The place where she was relatively remote was in the port, so there were no ships passing by or coming in, and the big ships couldn't stop on her side. No one passed by her, only she sat alone.

Julius walked over, and just as Lei turned her head to look, she saw Julius, "You're really early." Ray said to Julius, still with a slice of bread in her mouth, and it seemed that she was living a good life now, no longer dirty, and eating good bread that she couldn't normally eat.

Julius came to her side and sat down beside her, there was not even a boat here, and the two of them did not need to worry about whether they would get in the way. "Looks like you're adjusting to your new home. ”

"I can see that I'm adapting. Rei sighed, "If I got used to it, I wouldn't be here anymore...... But I'm not lazy, I have a good job. She raised her arm and showed Julius the basket in the crook of her arm, with some bread stacked on top of each other, "I'm lazy here after I've finished bringing breakfast to others." ”

Julius thinks it's still lazy, but since Rei has done her job well, there doesn't seem to be a problem. The old man Barrick wouldn't have done the heavy work for Lei, and although Lulunaka had said she could do whatever she wanted, the one who spoke and the one who listened couldn't have an idea. At least not a slick businessman like Barrick.

"Master Barrick said he didn't want a child who didn't even know a word. So I'm going to learn how to write and count later. Rei continued, looking a little tired, "You can be lazy about other things, but this is the only thing you can't dodge." ”

Julius remembers that when he was literate and counting, he felt about the same as Lei. "But that's a good thing, right? Julius said to Leigh.

A smile appeared on Rei's face, "yes, that's a happy anxiet...... There is probably no one luckier than me in this King's Castle to be the child of Lord Barrick. ”

Listening to Lei's tone, Julius knew that Leigh was no longer fooled by the "hire" words, and found out the truth in a short time. But looking at her now, even if she knew that she had been "deceived" away, she probably wouldn't have more opinions, let alone plan to escape. Julius only knew that Barrick was a very rich businessman, and that he was able to deal with Lulu's being like that, and that he was quite happy—Julius could never have been so light-hearted.

As for Rei, she was by Barrick's side, and she was a resident of the castle of Kings, so she knew and understood more than Julius.

"It felt like a dream, and when I woke up, I was probably lying in that little house on the rat road, and nothing had happened. Even the incident of meeting you may be fake. Rei continued.

Julius patted Lei's head, "This is not a dream. ”

"Of course it's not a dream, you made my head hurt a little. Lei laughed, then pushed Julius's hand away, "I don't have much time to be lazy, and it's not the right time to come and visit me." What have you been doing lately. ”

Julius thought about it, and found that he seemed to be back in a state of idleness. Since Rei left the Rat Path, Julius didn't plan to return to that place, and as for the underground, he didn't have that plan for the time being. The last adventure in the underground was really palpitating to him now, if it weren't for luck and all sorts of coincidences, and if those hostile black robes were bad enough, he and Rei would probably have died below.

It was a recent time ago, but now it feels like a long time ago, reminiscing, recalling a distant past. But now was not the time for him to reminisce, Rei reached out and bumped his flank, "If you really have nothing to do, you can come here to help, I heard Lord Barrick say that there is never a shortage of people in the port, although it is all heavy work." ”

It was an option, but it wouldn't have been Julius' first choice. He didn't think he was unfit for heavy work, and he didn't have a mental barrier, but he had certain concerns—Barrick and Lulunaka knew each other, and he felt like he was working under Barrick's eyes, and it made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"When I can't find something to do, I'll think about it. Julius said to Leigh. Lei didn't desperately want Julius to make a decision, she just nodded, not forcing Julius.

When Leigh mentions such an incident, Julius realizes that he suddenly seems to have no purpose in life. Now he has a little money to maintain his daily expenses, but Lulunaka doesn't seem to have any plans to continue to force him to go out to earn his own food, and if he goes back, he can also eat a hot meal. Regardless of whether this means that Lulunaka no longer intends to toss herself like this, Rei has also left the rat path and no longer lives in that chaotic place, and he has no motivation to continue to work so hard.

Until he said goodbye to Ray and left the port, Julius was still thinking about it. And then he thought about it all day, what else could he do now?

When I got back to the store, it was already dusk. As soon as Julius stepped into the shop, he heard the barking of a donkey coming from the courtyard behind him, and the laughter of Lunaka, "Such a fat beast is the best coolie." ”

Pasta was still sitting behind the counter, and Julius looked at him. Seeing Julius's eyes, Pasta understood what he wanted to ask, "She paid for two donkeys to come back and pull the cart." ”

Hearing Pasta's words, Julius thought of something not so good. Her strange carriage had been in the yard for a long time, and now it suddenly occurred to her to bring back two animals, where was she going?

Julius was right, Lulunaka did have plans to go out. At dinner, everyone arrives, and Lulunaka announces that she is going out.

"I'm going to cross the strait and go to another continent to see some people. Lulunaka said, looking at Julius and Romeo, "Of course, you two will come with me, too." ”
