Chapter 31: Childhood Sweethearts (3)

Brunei rarely has the upper hand in an argument or nonsense with the system, which puts him in a good mood. When he saw Pique from afar, he even reviewed whether he had done too much last night, Pique did intend to pit a sum of money from him, but if it wasn't for his own clever use of some doubling of the stakes, he would not have piled up the stakes so much, and as a result, he in turn won Pique to the bottom, which inevitably seemed a little unkind.

As a result, before Brunei could think about what to say or how to compensate, Peake came up very affectionately, looking grateful to Dade who was sold by Brunei and counted the money to him. Brunei thought that Pique was angry and wanted to find a reason to die with Brunei, so he was very vigilant, but after exchanging two sentences, he remembered that he had promised to leave 5700 gold coins for Pique last night, and he naturally wouldn't want it again.

Pique took 5,700 gold coins, 4,000 to repay the high-interest loan with the Adventurers Association, and he still had 1,700 left, compared with the original desperate situation of losing everything and still owing up to 4,000 gold coins, as a person who can calmly judge the situation, Pique's attitude is not strange.

Thinking about it, it was a matter of course to make such a decision, Pique was a turner, and the people around him were probably his accomplices, and I am afraid that all of them were experienced in a hundred battles, and they were physically strong, at least they also had spell-casting combat abilities that surpassed those of ordinary mage apprentices. It's really too hard, and it's causing trouble to Brunei himself.

For Brunei, the 14,700 gold he won was not much different from 8,000 for him. In his personal experience, 8,000 gold coins was already an expense that he couldn't spend alone, and with so much more, the result might just make it more troublesome for him to carry. And leaving Pique with 5,700 means that the Adventurers' Association will not suffer losses because of this gamble, and the money lent can be successfully recovered - they may not condone it, or at least will not assist Pique's desperate retaliation.

When Pico offered to borrow money before, Brunei offered to use the broken stick as collateral for the gamble, also to avoid easily getting Pique's accomplices into the gambling game. If there is any leeway, it is much less likely that those people will riot and come together to find trouble with Brunei. Of course, no matter how small the possibility is, it will not be zero, Brunei is just doing the best it can within the scope of what he can think of, and if such an unfortunate situation does happen - Brunei is not without a last resort.

All in all, regardless of what he thinks inside, Pique seems to have honestly accepted his fiasco and thanked Brunei for his rational goodwill, which is the ideal situation.

It's just that the system seized the opportunity to taunt Brunei Darussalam viciously, saying something [After you kid sober up, it's better to be thoughtful when you're drunk, do you think you can hide anything from me!]. Sometimes, rather than a childish system, he would be concerned about a trivial matter, and at some point Brunei Darussalam, he found it funny, and he smiled when he heard the system's invective.

Not making the relationship with Pique too stiff was the first step to success. Brunei's original plan was to learn more about the specific situation in Fox Town and various matters related to the Adventurers' Guild in this situation, but after a gust of wind blew outside, Brunei's headache did not lessen, but became more and more intense, and his limbs became weak.

"Ahh Thinking about it carefully, the night he was fished out of the water, he was left to dry and blow on the board of the boat for so long, and he should have had a little cold at that time, but he was busy treating Elvi and himself and some other people at night, especially Elvi, the wound that cut his neck Brunei himself was not sure if he could be cured, and he was very worried for a while, although he actually didn't take care of others, but he still stayed by his side all the time, and he didn't sleep well at night, and the next day he walked for so long, not only did he not rest enough, but he was extremely tired, and then he drank again at night......

[Don't find so many messy reasons!Isn't it just a cold again!Although your physique is only 35 points, it's actually quite normal, right?,But which protagonist has a cold and fever at two ends in three days and can't afford to get sick?

What the system says about "cheering up" means that it won't help, or at least it won't, so it stands to reason that even if it says so much nonsense, Brunei still "can't afford to get sick". The originally planned action had to be abandoned, and in this case, it was simply looking for death, so he had to lie on the bed prepared for him by the Adventurers' Guild all the time, leaving Evie busy taking care of him.

At first, Brunei was still very unaccustomed to being taken care of by others, especially when she was sleeping, she let a very beautiful girl like Elvi watch from the side, she was still a little shy and couldn't sleep much. But five days later, when Brunei was almost recovered, he was almost getting used to having Evie by his side to take care of him - or, rather, he suddenly found that it was quite comfortable to have a maid.

Since Brunei left Taal Village, he has basically been eating dry food with no taste, occasionally grilling some meat in the endless mountains, sprinkling some salt on it to improve the food, and even after arriving in College City, in order to save expenses, he has basically been eating cheap dry food for people who are going to go far away, and he is not so short of money after being a guard with the eldest lady, but there is no one who takes care of the eldest lady, and he is reluctant to spend money to follow the eldest lady to eat in the restaurant every day, and the result is still eating dry food- It's a slightly more expensive and flavorful dry food, but it's still dry food anyway.

In general, Brunei has always felt that he is not the type to be hungry and has no special requirements for food. But I don't know if it's because I'm more sensitive than usual when I'm sick, the light soup made by Elvie, and other dishes that are not only delicious but also meaninglessly extraordinarily beautiful, almost made Brunei Desei's tears when he ate it. Now when I think back to the time when I used to eat dry food, it instantly turned into a hellish day, as if the bitter taste would come out of my mouth when I thought about it.

And the benefits of having a maid are far more than limited to the dining conditions, it should be said that the quality of life in all aspects of Brunei has made a qualitative leap. His standard of living in the past was generally to be able to live, and he lived in the room of the eldest lady's residence for a month without leaving anything with a sense of life, and on the morning of the decision to leave, he said that he had cleaned up, but in fact he folded a quilt.

And now it was very different, Brunei woke up every day and found that the house he lived in had changed a little subtly, he could not always find out what was more, or what had been moved where, but he was sure that after a few days, this room did not look like a room at all from the day he first woke up—he didn't know how to describe it, except that it looked more like a place where people lived—more like a girl's place......

This change has not only brought about a comfortable appearance, but also from a practical point of view, Brunei does feel that even if he has been lying in bed, he is becoming more comfortable day by day. To Bruneith, what Evie did was like another form of magic, and a type he had never been exposed to. If he was not very accustomed to Alvie being his maid at first, and he felt embarrassed and a little resistant, then now although he is still not very embarrassed, he has begun to feel that Alvi has to be his maid anyway, and he accepts Elvie's care to reassure Elvi, and there is nothing wrong with it.

[Hey, it's so ugly to abandon his hard-working virtue so quickly, to be corrupted and corroded by the hedonistic sugar-coated cannonballs of the cynical school, and to degenerate day by day, and to make excuses for himself in every possible way, and to be able to say such stinky and shameless nonsense for the sake of others, just after getting rid of the poor middle peasants, he put on an ugly face of a bourgeois old exploiter, hey!]

Of course, the system inevitably made a lot of inexplicable remarks that no one in the world could understand, and Brunei ignored him as a matter of course.

Five days passed, Brunei was almost well from his illness, and the time they and Jack had stayed here was over, and he went to say goodbye to others, and he didn't stage any other scenes, only Peake made a polite remark such as "Come and I'll invite you to dinner again!" and so on, and in general, Brunei didn't gain anything in the past few days in Fox Town except for a few thousand gold coins.

Join Jack back on the riverbank, where the Rama has been waiting for a long time. Ropol's surprise at seeing that Brunei had returned with an extra box of gold coins was extremely exaggerated - to be honest, Brunei suspected that he was deliberately trying to hide his coveting of the box of gold coins by exaggerating excessive surprise, but in any case, Brunei believed that Ropol had enough brains to shoot at him again.

The Rama was indeed moving very fast, and when it did not even have sails, it just went down the river, and Brunei saw with his own eyes the sight of it riding on the great river, which was becoming more and more lively. In particular, Captain Rama seems to have added some kind of special modification, as long as a person with a magic emblem injects spiritual power into a certain place, the ship can travel much faster.

As a symbol of friendly relations, after receiving a symbolic collection of a few gold coins, Brunei drew a magic emblem for Ropol - although it was only a standard, and Ropol's adaptation attribute was still an earth attribute, but he was still grateful to Brunei for it.

In this way, after only a few stops at a few ports along the way, the Rama arrived at the mouth of the great river in a little more than two weeks, the famous "Thousand Islands Port" in Brunei. Ropol seemed to shed a few tears very seriously, fully expressing his feelings for Brunei's affection, and Brunei took Eloy off the boat.

Perhaps the river has been thawing for a while, and the port of the Thousand Islands can be described as bustling with large and small ships like stars, and Brunei even saw several large ships almost two stories high on the other side of the sea. However, Elvi looked more surprised than he was, not noticing his stunned expression, and giving him time to adjust in time, coughing twice and pretending to be calm.

Just as he was walking across the wooden trestle and towards the town, which was dominated by blue and white and had an extremely unfamiliar architectural style, Brunei suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Brunei has finally found you!"

“...... Sal?" Brunei looked over to him, his long-lost friend, his younger brother who had played with him since childhood, Sal Xavier, was wearing a brown coarse cloth coat that looked a little out of place around him, but was exactly the same as he remembered, standing in front of him and waving at him, Brunei's right hand touched his cheek and pressed it gently, revealing an incredulous expression, "Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for you. Sal's face showed an undisguised affectionate smile that even in memory it had been seen on Sal's face for many years, "And I'm not the only one?"

As he spoke, an even more incredible figure appeared from behind Sal, with long tan hair, a slender body, snow-white skin, and the light brown that Brunei would dream of when he dreamed, with slightly red eyes, and a cheerful smile: "I'm so worried, are you kid doing quite nourishing now? Who is this girl, don't you introduce your good brother?"

"Sue?!"
