The man glanced at a gold coin in his hand, beckoned for the torch to be given to him, and looked at it carefully before he let go of his foot on Buku's face.

"Buku, the door of the Dehei Casino is always open for you, and I look forward to your next visit."

The man waved his hand, and they all left the Buku family farm with him.

Rod glanced at Leon, who was holding Julia, he squatted down, stared at Buku, and said in a rough voice: "I gave them not a copper coin, but a gold coin, Buku, if you gamble again, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!" Did you hear that? ”

"Listen...... Heard it. Buku shuddered, and his voice was a little louder than that of mosquitoes.

"What do you hear? Repeat! ”

With a sad face, Buku crawled towards Julia's feet, "I'm not going to gamble anymore." ”

"Father, you can't gamble anymore."

Julia was about to help Buku up, Leon was one step ahead of her, and Dylan just stood by with a nonchalant expression.

"I'll take him to the city to find a doctor, you all rest, Dilan, you take care of your sister."

"I'll go with you." Julia was relieved and insisted on going with Leon, and Dylan had no choice but to follow.

Rod wanted to go together, and Leon shook his head: "You guys are going to Wendy tomorrow, if I can rush back, I'll give you a ride." ”

Dylan raised a torch to light it, Leon carried Buku on his back, Julia followed closely beside Leon, and the group headed in the direction of the main city.

There is a road from the farm to the main city.

After they left, Hu Yingfeng and Shi Yin both returned to the granary, and Rod said to Ye Qing: "He has too many worries. ”

"I understand." Ye Qing led Rong Sheng back to the house.

With his pregnant wife on one side and his troubled father-in-law on the other, Dylan is less than ten years old, and the family still has a field of crops, and there is food to hand in every year.

Ye Qing never doubted that Rhodes had seen an excellent gunner, but now, he was so embarrassed......

His situation, Ye Qing understood.

Rod kicked the mud wall outside the farmhouse a few times and then went to the granary.

Compared with Ye Qing and a few others, Rhodes is indifferent on the surface, but he is more anxious than anyone else in his heart, after all, Gloria is still in the hands of Barrio, and he needs to hurry.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Leon and his men returned from the main city.

"You're still here." Seeing a few people, Leon was a little surprised: "Wait for me, I'll send you." ”

…………

…………

There was no word all the way, until Rod suddenly stopped: "Okay, you should go back." ”

"Rhodes ......"

Rod said with a smile: "I don't know when the next time we will meet, and I don't know if I can come back." ”

"Do you have to go?"

"Leon, it was my father's dream to find the Lost City, and it was my dream as well."

"No one has ever seen the Lost City, it's just a legend, but countless people have lost their lives to it, Rhodes, is it worth it?"

"Some people believe because they see, and some people see because they believe." Rod gave him a hug and patted him on the shoulder: "Leon, goodbye." ”

Leon grabbed his arm: "Rod, I have to tell you something. ”

"Say it."

Leon looked at Ye Qing and the others, and Rhodes said, "You just have to say, they are all my trusted companions." ”

Leon licked his lips and stared at the ground, "Do you remember that ghostly fire we met?" ”

"Unforgettable." Rhodes was silent for a while, raised his head, and looked at Ye Qing and the others: "A few years ago, we went to sea together to find the lost city......

Rod told Ye Qing and the others about the incident.

It was precisely because of the incident a few years ago that Rhodes was deeply affected and was in a slump for two years, and when he came back and learned that Gloria had also gone to find the Lost City, there was a phantom of the sea behind them, so that they found a shipload of gold, silver and jewelry, and there was a follow-up of the crew betraying Rhodes and defecting to Barrio.

A few years ago, Rhodes found a treasure, bought the best ships, and assembled the best crew, and the group hit the road, overcoming it again and again, despite the difficulties along the way.

Until, they met the Ghost Fire.

According to legend, it was a blue flame that floated on the sea, and the spirits of demons were trapped inside.

When a ghost fire hits a ship, it will immediately cause an explosion, and if it touches a living person, it will immediately incinerate their bodies and consume their souls.

Almost all sailors at sea have heard of this legend, but no one has ever seen it.

Just because no one has seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And if anyone has really seen the ghost fire, but no one can confirm it, it can only mean that the people who have seen the ghost fire are basically dead.

Rhodes and Leon, outside of this "basic".

"That night, our boat hit a reef...... In fact, we had already dropped anchor, and it was impossible for the ship to move suddenly when it was parked at sea, and it was hit by an unknown object, but our ship just hit a reef, and the ship broke a big hole, and the speed of repair was not as fast as the speed of water seepage, so we had to abandon the ship, just after the crew changed to a small boat......"

"The ghost fire appeared, everyone in the boat was burned alive, and the ship exploded."

When Rod thinks about it now, he has palpitations: "They all say that we are cursed, and only those who are cursed by the sea god will meet the ghost fire." During that time, I always thought that the god of the sea didn't want us to find the lost city, but Gloria said that it was the god of the sea's challenge to us, and only those who passed the challenge could survive and find the lost city. ”

"Poseidon chose me and Leon, and at that time, Leon and I were still on the big ship, and after the ship exploded, we were unconscious."

At this time, Leon said: "Rod, at that time, you were the only one who fainted. ”

"What do you mean?"

"After the boat exploded, you suddenly fainted, worried about being discovered by the ghost fire, and after I dragged you into the cabin, I also fell, I wanted to wait for them to leave, you know, our ship is not sinking so quickly for the time being. It wasn't long before I heard a cry for help, and I went out to take a look...... There was a ship that was close to ours and there was a man on the mast. ”

Leon paused, then continued, "It was a wizard, and he asked me to save him. ”

Leon didn't say what happened next, he only said the final outcome.

"The wizard is still dead, and before he died, he told me not to go to sea again, because he prophesied that I would die on the next trip to the sea."

"If he could have predicted, why hadn't he predicted that he would die at sea? Leon, you shouldn't take his word for it! ”

Leon didn't refute, just quietly looked into Rod's eyes.

"The sea is full of freedom, wealth, passion, but also endless dangers, unforeseen unknowns, Rod, I am sorry that I can't go with you, it's not that I'm afraid of death...... Julia is pregnant. ”

"Oh......" Rod was stunned, and then showed a big smile: "Congratulations, you're going to be a father!" I'm stupid and don't know anything, Leon, forgive me, I shouldn't have come to disturb your life. ”

When saying goodbye, Rhodes gave Leon a bag with gold coins, which did not contain much.

Leon didn't answer.

He untied the water bladder from his waist and handed it to Rod: "Wine, there is only so much, have a good trip, my brother." ”
