Chapter 149: The Gambler's Pursuit

"Why are we your guests?" Add asks questions, but doesn't answer Cornell's questions.

"A gamble, our friend, I just got the chips right in a standard game." Cornell. Clark blinked.

"What gamble? What nonsense are you talking about? Hearing that the other party's words seemed unreasonable, Arthur's temper began to flare up, and Eddie hurriedly stopped it.

"Hear from you, Mr. Cornell." Little Candle gestured to the small table with an umbrella beside them and sat down on a metal chair.

"I'm not interested in this man's story." Arthur couldn't lose his temper, but he saw the large bottles of human wine in the buffet in the banquet area. He was very interested in that, so he threw a word and went straight away, and the wrench naturally followed him when he saw that there was wine, and the survivors had long since disappeared, and only Lilac sat in his place with Eddie in the end.

"We have just returned from Vesta, which is the original destination of this super cruise ship, because the beauty of the noble planet is fascinating, this is my sixth trip in ten years, and for this I even forced myself to learn the language of the nobility." Cornell explained why he knew Cande.

"And the Android Sea is our second stop, and you know that every anniversary, Four Seasons will make some slightly out-of-the-ordinary travel arrangements, which cater to the mentality of us laypeople who are looking for excitement but don't want to take risks." He pointed to the tip of his nose without self-irony.

"The ship's original plan was to travel to the Bald system to see the Broken Gold Corridor, but it changed its itinerary before it set off. We don't know why, but there is really nothing to see here, and the fact that you can only watch from a distance and not get close to it makes the trip boring, and we have to get by by throwing non-stop banquets and gambling games. ”

On such a ship? You've got it all, Eddie thought.

"Before that, my housekeeper sent me a message saying that a few friends from the Rich Galaxy had read a certain prophecy about the destruction of the world to Xiao'er, which also caused an inquiry from the Investigation Bureau of Unknown Things of the Silver Alliance."

"You're Roger. Clark's father. Lilac nodded, and he and Eddie had guessed his identity more or less since Charlie 24 had uttered Clark's name.

"But how did you know we came to the Athero? I mean, after we started from Chirien, we didn't even know where we were going to be next. ”

"I don't know." Cornell smiled. "Unlike you, I am not a prophet." He scratched his head and said: "It's just that I happened to invite the chief in charge of the safety of the Four Seasons Company's cruise trip to the banquet, and after three rounds of drinking, I happened to hear the report he received from the guards at the banquet." ”

"But you've traveled thousands of spaceships, how do you know it's us?" Lilac wondered.

"Although there are many travelers, how many are there in the Xiaofeng family?" Cornell laughed. "That's right, your voyage code is registered in the name of the Xiaofeng family in Vesta, and my friends in the Development Committee have already given me your information, and although the relevant files of the Investigation Bureau have been cancelled, your name of Kander is still left, Xiaofeng Fenglan, isn't it?"

"The file we reported has been cancelled?" Add was surprised. "Do you know why, Mr. Clark?" He asked in his mask.

"I didn't ask this carefully, and I didn't want to ask too much, although my friend still owes a few favors, but the military committee's involvement in the matter, it is obvious that it is the best policy to understand and pretend to be confused." Cornell Dw.

"Was it written off by the Military Committee of the Silver Alliance?" Add asked Connell, who was silent after receiving an affirmative answer, and Connell waited for him to finish his thoughts, and after a while, Eddie came to his senses, looked apologetically at the master, and motioned for him to continue.

"That's actually the rough story that I accidentally got from Kenny Sr. When Jelson heard your family's name on the holographic call, he took a gamble and lied to him that you were my guests, and as I said earlier, I just happened to have the right chips. ”

"Gamblers gamble for money, so Mr. Clark, what is your purpose?" Lilac stared at Cornell.

"Maybe I'm just to express my gratitude, sending a message to the child from all the way from the edge of the galaxy." Cornell pouted. "Maybe it's just vanity, you know that in the human world, it can be considered a very beautiful place to have a few Kander travelers as guests at the banquet......"

"Say what you really mean." Lilac was a little tired of his clichΓ©, so she unceremoniously interrupted him.

"The full version of the prophecy and the whole story!" Cornell. Clark's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to announce almost as soon as Lilac finished speaking.

"This ......" Eddie was a little embarrassed, he and his team had suffered a lot for this matter, and on the unknown planet of Heimdall, if it weren't for Arthur's bravery, the whole team might have died at the hands of Hoth and Alum. The unwarranted seizure of the Qilian Mirror Sea and the replacement of the Leap Engine have made anyone under the jurisdiction of the Silver Alliance's Military Commission a potential enemy.

It is precisely because of these troubles that from the heart, Eddie doesn't even want to touch this matter anymore, those crazy thoughts of the so-called destruction of the whole world, the advent of the demon king, and the miraculous redemption all make them hellish with their brains.

"According to what you said when you found the child, I also fall within the scope of prophecy, son of hope, remember? I'm Roger, too. Clarke's direct descendants. Cornell said unwillingly.

"These unsubstantiated prophecies will only get you in trouble, Mr. Clark." Add's face flickered in the red smoke. "It may even lead to unwarranted disasters."

"Time is easy to pass but life is rare." Cornell. There was a hint of fanaticism on Clark's handsome face. "It is better to die by burning than to live coldly, I have always held this belief personally, and for the sake of the Creator, I beg of you, tell me the details."

"No more vain words, Eddie, he's already said he's a gambler." Lilac had no expression on her face. "A declaration to a gambler to quit gambling will only further arouse his desire to bet." "Tell him all this," she said, "and as he says, he is indeed entitled to know." ”

Eddie reluctantly closed his eyes in the mask and nodded gently at the fairy man.

"Before all this, first correct your misunderstanding, Mr. Clark, I know that maybe you are just a metaphor." Lilac Tiger blushed and decided to tell the truth about all this. "But whether it's freezing or burning, maybe it's nothing compared to the trouble you might get into." It warns: "Your government seems to be plotting a shady business that will not be seen in the dark. ”
