Chapter 379: Young Master, You're Too Alone (3/3)

In Eru's story, he is the heir to House Escred and the future Lord of Lionheart.

He had three older brothers, all of whom were killed in battles with surrounding cities, so he is now the eldest son.

His father is in his fifties this year, and because he has been fighting for many years in his youth and is covered with injuries, he is now bedridden all year round, and he doesn't know when he will be finished. He has a stepmother in her thirties, the daughter of the president of a chamber of commerce in Lionheart, and has a son and a daughter with his father, and the son is ten years old this year.

As for himself, he is physically weak, and although he has been practicing his family's Force martial arts, he has barely made any progress. He was despised in the family, and even his father had the intention of letting his half-brother succeed him as the lord of the castle.

His only support was the family of his deceased mother, his maternal grandfather was the most capable and prestigious general in Lionheart, and his father relied on him, and he had two uncles who also held important positions in the Lionheart army.

It is for this reason that the position of Eru, the young master, is precarious, but it has always been maintained.

But this situation can't last, this time, the reason why he went to the Foggy Moon Continent is because the family's merchant fleet has some problems in the Foggy Moon Continent, and it must be dealt with by enough people, and another reason is that his maternal grandfather is also old, he is over seventy years old, and he had a recurrence of injury a year ago, and he vomited blood while riding a horse, and had to resign from his post to recuperate.

Without his grandfather's support, he, the young master, was squeezed by his stepmother's forces and went to the Foggy Moon Continent.

On this trip, he had brought a full escort regiment with more than thirty powerful samurai. However, in the Foggy Moon Continent, he encountered a sneak attack by bandits. As a result, almost all the troops were wiped out. Only Juta escaped with him.

In the early morning cabin, the aristocratic young man Eru, who was already a little drunk, chattered about his past without reservation, and when he said that he had escaped from the siege, Rollin asked: "Have you taken care of the affairs of the family's merchant fleet?" ”

"Deal with the fart!" Eru snorted wine in his mouth, his white face flushed, and he waved his hand heavily: "When I go." All five merchant ships had been auctioned off by the damned city lord, and the head of the fleet had all run away. The ransom I brought was also robbed by the robbers, and I ran away in vain. ”

"That's not good, you will definitely be called an incompetent wreck when you go back this time, and then your young master status will be gone, hehe." Rollin gloated and patted the boy on the shoulder.

Eru knew in his heart that Rollin was right, but he was tired and couldn't turn the situation around, so he simply followed Rollin to sit on the aisle and say indifferently: "Who says it's not." I want to open it too. What kind of young master is this, it is not appropriate. I'll give it to my brother, and my stepmother will always trouble me. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rollin laughed, pinched the young man's face and slapped it on the ground with his hand: "Young man, you are really naΓ―ve. ”

"Don't slap me in the face!" Eru waved his hand at Lorrain's hand, he was too drunk to care about the guard's faux pas.

But with his little strength, where to open, Luo Lin is still shooting, using almost the same force as slapping him, and his mouth is not merciless: "You are not a young master, do you think you are safe?" If you want to be beautiful, I sue you, you are putting your life in the hands of your stepmother, and let her slaughter! No, not only your own life, but also your grandfather's life and your uncle's life. I'm sure you'll not live more than three years when your brother succeeds to the throne as the lord of the city. ”

While talking, Eru was beating with gold stars in his eyes, but Eru was not angry at all, but was stunned when he listened, and the slight pain on his face stimulated him, so that he slowly woke up when he was drunk.

"What you said is true?" He asked, but he already believed most of it in his heart, this kind of competition for the position of the city lord, he had heard a lot since he was a child, although people were praising the prestige of the winner, and rarely mentioned the fate of the loser, but Eru had lived in the city lord's house for almost sixteen years, and he was intriguing with people every day, where would he not think of it?

Before, he had the idea of retreating, but it was just a fluke.

Luo Lin estimated that if he continued to slap his face, this kid should be angry, so he stopped, took another sip of the wine bottle, drank the last sip of wine at the bottom of the bottle, and then sprayed the wine in Eru's face, and said with a smile: "If I say it's fake, do you believe it?" ”

"So what should I do?" Eru asked, and as soon as he finished asking, he regretted it a little, what was the use of asking such a drunkard, and he was also a civilian? Although he didn't reply, he didn't expect an answer in his heart.

But he didn't expect Luo Lin to smile: "I've been a guard for five years, I've seen a lot of your situation." You now have a position and the support of the army, which would have been a good situation, but the reason why you are not in a secure position is that you are too incompetent to give confidence to those who follow you. ”

"But I" Eru tried to argue that he was in poor health, but found that this might be the reason for his defeat, but not a reason to retreat.

"Hmph, you still have a bit of backbone." Rollin smiled, then handed the bottle in his hand to Eru: "You fill my bottle, and I will teach you a way to deal with this difficulty." ”

"Seriously?" Eru was skeptical.

"Wine!" Rollin shoved the bottle towards Eru.

Eru didn't take the bottle, but turned around and went to the cabin to get a new bottle of fire wine for Lorraine.

While he was going to get the wine, Rollin turned to the two guards in the aisle who had been woken up and were now looking at him dumbfounded, and said, "Look at it, go to sleep." ”

The two guards hurriedly stood up straight, not squinting, but they were muttering in their hearts, this guy's guts are really made of diamonds, and he dares to slap the nobleman, and he is so arrogant.

After a while, Eru came again, handed the wine to Rollin, he looked up at the two guards in the road, and said softly, "Why don't you go into the cabin?" ”

"No problem." Rollin stumbled to his feet, entered the cabin, and walked all the way to the carved bench in the room, and when he was there, he was lying on the chair like mud. Then pinch the cork off. Pour wine into your mouth.

"You drink less. Drinking hurts your body. Eru couldn't help but persuade.

"Don't care, do you know if you drink to nourish your heart?" Rollin waved his hand, but didn't continue to drink. To be honest, he doesn't like to drink very much, and now it's nothing more than the work ethic of pretending to be an alcoholic. As for drinking alcohol? Of course not, he is still a dragon, and his physical vitality is not covered, and this little alcohol can only give him vitality.

"What should I do?" Eru earnestly asked. He now felt that this guard might be able to help him get through this.

"Find an alliance and take advantage of the situation." Rollin slurred his tongue, his eyes glancing around, and finally landed on a small box in the ship's cabin closet.

This small box contains something similar to a cigarette on the earth, of course Eru doesn't smoke it, this thing is not his, but the configuration of this ocean-going civilian ship for the nobles, if you don't smoke it, it's an ornament, and if you smoke it, you don't need money, it's all counted in the ticket anyway.

That's why this era is prosperous. Although there are often conflicts between cities, commerce is also extremely prosperous. All kinds of enjoyment are available.

"I want that." Luo Lin pointed to the closet, on the earth, he likes to smoke, but unfortunately there is no smoking in the future of this other world, so he quit, but now when he sees this thing, he misses it a little.

Eru was pondering Rollin's words, and without saying much, he opened the closet and threw a whole box of cigarettes at Rollin: "It's all yours." So who do I ally with? How do you take advantage of it?"

Rollin took out a cigarette from the box, lit it and smoked it, tasted it, it felt okay, it felt like smoke on the earth, but this one was more refreshing, spit out a smoke ring, Rollin threw the wine bottle aside, he decided to slowly replace alcohol with cigarettes in the future, who told him to smoke more: "How do I know who to ally with, you have been on the ship for so many days, you have been in the cabin, you don't participate in the ball, and you don't talk to other nobles." To be honest, I've never seen such a unique aristocrat as you. Hey~ You shouldn't have low self-esteem, right? ”

These words poked Eru's heartache, his face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't care about his face, and told the truth: "I'm the only nobleman on the ship who doesn't know martial arts, the men laugh at me, the women look down on me, I've been to the ball a few times, and every time I've been treated as a clown, what's the point of that?"

'Bazi ~ Bazi' Luo Lin squinted his eyes and swallowed the clouds, and kept pumping a small half, before he glanced at Eru and said teasingly: "Being a clown is ten thousand times better than no one paying attention to you, you won't take advantage of such a good condition, I think you have a problem with your brain." ”

Rollin didn't speak politely, and Eru felt a little angry, but he felt that his words made sense, and before he knew it, he was lost in thought.

Lorin didn't care about him, and began to enjoy this otherworldly version of the cigarette, and when one was finished, he made a declaration with a look of fascination: "Cigarettes are better than alcohol, and from now on, I will smoke." Young master, I will change the bottle of fire wine to smoke in the next five days, right? ”

Eru couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "I said you can't help but mutilate your body?" How can you embarrass me like this, who is close to being crippled? ”

"Everyone doesn't have a fate, young master, I still envy you for being born noble, if you are noble, my wife and children can hide in a safe fortress."

Eru was stunned again, and suddenly felt a brightness in his heart, yes, I have something that most people in this world don't have, what else do I complain about? Isn't it just weaker, what's the big deal?

Suddenly, Eru was in high spirits and smiled: "You're right, Rollin, I'm really too alone, I'm going out." Yes, I'm going to the boat ball tomorrow! ”

He walked up and down the cabin with great ambition, and as he walked, his face hesitant again. A person's personality can be changed, but it is basically impossible to change all at once. For example, Eru, who thinks too much in his head, has an inferiority complex that has been ridiculed in his bones.

After walking a few more laps, he said, "I don't know the bottom of my heart alone, you will go with me tomorrow." Don't worry, as long as I eventually become the lord of the city, I will let you be my general, and I will have enough cigarettes and alcohol! ”

Luo Lin laughed and took a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers: "Your promise is real enough, okay, just say this to you, and I will fight with you." (To be continued......)
