The first rays of the morning sun cast on the river, and at this moment, the surface of the river, which was as black as ink, suddenly seemed to be clear, turning a light blue, and the subtle ripples reflected a slight orange-yellow light. A pitch-black ship swept silently past the reflection, turned around with a movement commensurate with its size, and docked on the shore.

"Mr. Castro, we're on the shore. A sturdy man pushed the door in, and at the same time babble, this man was not Ropol, Ropol knew the so-called "etiquette" better than he did, but now, Ropol no longer needed to come to Brunei Dareisi to inform him of these things, "At your request, we sailed forward a little further, and stopped not far from Fox Town. ”

Brunei turned his head, put a finger to his lips, "shhhhh ”

The sailor was visibly stunned for a moment, scratching at his thin-haired head in confusion, and finally asked, in a slightly smaller voice than before: "Ah, did you disturb you?" But, Mr. Castro, aren't you sitting in your chair?

Brunei frowned, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a low female voice behind him: "Hmm...... Yikes!"

The moment Evie found herself lying on a soft bed covered with a quilt that was not very cheap at first glance, she immediately let out a low exclamation, and got up from the bed in a panic, cleaned up, until the quilt was almost flattened, only to find Brunei sitting next to him, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah...... Hello sir- no, sorry, I-"

Brunei smiled and shook his head, "Good morning, Elvie. It's great to see you recover so well. ”

Elvi was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly touched her neck, but did not touch the rag that Ropol took to her casually before, as expected, and did not even touch the deep knife wound in her memory, as if everything that happened before was just a dream.

That's a dream. Elvi couldn't help but think that the powerful mage Mr. Guard would die, and she would fight the mage Mr. Captain and cut off the other man's fingers—all of which were obviously just absurd dreams in retrospect. How could she have thought that was true? she thought to herself, and bowed to the man in front of her, or rather the boy, "Thank you for your concern, sir. ”

Brunei raised his right hand, gently stroked his face, and laughed: "I didn't expect the effect of the 'healing technique' to be so good, such a deep wound, not even a scar will be left." It's so nice that you're so beautiful - no scars, it's so good......"

[Hey, hey, you're not hinting at yourself, are you? It's a pity to think you're so beautiful and have a scar? Then don't you feel disgusted if you care about your face, don't you feel disgusted if you still think about such a little thing after so long?]

"Not really—not all about that. Brunei was a little distracted, and replied casually in his heart, "It's just that I suddenly remembered something else." It's just a level 2 spell healing technique that can be used to treat cuts without leaving scars, so what kind of treatment was I received at that time? ”

[Hehe, what are you talking about naïve, my little Bruneith?The MP consumed by the healing technique is 15 points, and fifteen standard units of spiritual power are your previous salary for one and a half months, even for imperial mages, this level of spiritual power consumption will not be as calculating as federal mages, but after all, it is also fifteen standard units. Besides, it's a matter of whether the doctor will be able to cure it. 】

“...... You're right, I'm stupid. Brunei scratched his head, after the systematic explanation, he once again noticed that his sense of value for spiritual power was getting thinner and thinner, it was not entirely because he was sitting on tens of thousands of net worth, but more importantly, each battle cost hundreds of standard units now, to say that he would still be as excited as before, hearing five hundred standard units, it was really unrealistic. However, after re-understanding this fact, he completely figured out the reason for the reaction of the two people in front of him at the moment.

[Psychological Assessment: 5360, fail.] 】

[You've never been good at figuring out women's feelings. In your opinion, you can't understand what is in your words that can make her cry like this, and naturally you can't understand why she cries like this. 】

The system is as unreliable as ever, but fortunately, Jack, who is watching from the sidelines, is not as stingy as the system and actively tries to express his opinion. I saw that he saw that Elvi had been crying for a long time, and Brunei was still standing there stupidly, as if realizing that this was an opportunity, with a mixture of greedy and flattering smirks on his face, he took two steps forward and leaned into Brunei's ear: "Mr. Castro, I think it's almost there." ”

Brunei looked confused, turned his face to look at Jack, and also lowered his voice: "What is almost?"

Jack smiled, this time the smile was a lot more sincere, and the accompanying line of that expression was probably the meaning of "You kid don't come with me for this": "Okay, Mr. Castro, are you really going to throw her back?

"Throw it back, scare scare, scare?" Brunei's excellent brain successfully captured the key words in Jack's words at the first time, Rao was so, Bruneith still digested it for more than ten seconds, and finally turned the corner and looked at Elvie incredulously: "You don't want to go home?"

Evie was still sobbing, "No, sir. Elvi was willing to obey her master's arrangement. ”

Even if he was not good at figuring out women's feelings, Brunei could hear that this meant affirming Brunei's speculation, but he still felt incomprehensible, and couldn't help but turn his eyes for help to Jack, who seemed to know these things very well. However, Jack seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, and made a look of admiration with a lewd smile: "I see, this is a means to make her mentally obey you." High, it's really high, it's me who is too talkative, please forgive me!"

The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, and he intuitively felt that it would be a waste of time to continue talking nonsense, so he simply changed the subject: "Okay, Elvie, we'll talk about your question later." Take us out, Jack, aren't we docked? Captain Ropol shouldn't be kept waiting too long, should you?"

Elvi and Jack bowed their heads at the same time and responded, "Yes." ”

[That's nice, isn't it? 】

"What's that?"

[Power, status. If you have a high status, it doesn't matter if you can't understand others, it's good not to think about the problems you don't want to think about, and if you don't want to understand what others are saying, it's good to ask others not to discuss this topic. What a beautiful thing, isn't it? You, who have been struggling at the bottom, have you finally tasted the sweetness of something called "status"?

"Less nonsense. Brunei walked through the hatch that Jack had opened for him, the expression on his face not changing in the slightest, "I just haven't figured it out for a while." ”

[Hehe, you just don't want to understand. Although it is just something that has nothing to do with you, although it will not hurt you much if you understand it, but you just feel a little uncomfortable, you can not understand. This is the so-called "little capriciousness of power". 】

Jack walked in the front, hunched over and opening with a courteous look, Brunei followed him, and Elvi was at the back, and just listening to the small footsteps seemed to see her cautious look: "Phew." According to you, I should have understood?"

[Yes, she just doesn't want to go home, how simple it is, you have said it yourself. She was sold by her parents to a rich kid who didn't treat people as human beings, and exchanged them for one or two gold coins. No matter how frugal their family is, it's just two or three months of rations, hehe. It's a matter of course to be resentful and dissatisfied. 】

Brunei saw the end of the long corridor, and the sky had already brightened, revealing a light blue: "Just a little money, it means that their family has probably reached the point where they can't open the pot." Isn't it normal to starve to death tomorrow and choose a path where everyone can survive temporarily? system, you always like to speculate on others with malicious intent. ”

[That's because as a great system, I'm always right.] Hey, hey, my little Bruneith, what would you think if you were sold to someone else by your parents for ten gold coins before?]

"I don't remember what they look like, even if you ask me what I think......" Brunei thought seriously for a while, "Assuming I'm like Elvie, growing up with my parents, I'll be happy to sell myself to stop them from starving." Not to mention that if I did, I wouldn't starve to death myself. ”

Forget it, no matter what you think, in order not to doubt the glorious greatness and eternal correctness of this system, I will show you the tangible evidence of what I just said. Little Bruneith, do as I say. 】

Before he could fully walk out of the hallway, Brunei suddenly stopped, turned his back, and looked at Elvie.

Elvi kept her head down, but she felt the change in the light in front of her, and found that Brunei had stopped, and hurriedly stood still, raised her head, and saw Brunei Darussa's tall but slender figure, a face that seemed to be as beautiful as she could only see in a painting, with a rising sun behind her, and a little childish innocence in her eyes, and the condescending sadness and love that had only been seen on the face of the village chief's grandfather, staring at the infinite darkness behind her, and her in the darkness.

Brunei stretched out his hand and smiled: "I understand." I've already talked to Telphons that if you don't want to go home, you can stay with me in the future. Nominally a maid, in fact, you don't need to do anything superfluous, just follow me, how about it?"

Elvie lowered her head in a panic, and tears spilled on the floor again, but Brunei always felt that a touch of crimson seemed to flash on her face just now, and it took him a while before he heard Elvi whisper: "Yes, yes, I do! Thank you very much!"

[What's going on, my little Brunei? Even you can see that her crying is crying with joy in the real sense, right? Do you want to take a psychological test to confirm it?]

"......" Brunei nodded at Evie and turned back, "That's so...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”

[Hehe, you stinky and shameless boy, this system will guide you how to soak - concoct a plan to prove my point of view, and you still don't admit it. Pretending to be a big brother in front of this group of scum is addicted?Do you really think you are a green onion?Do you dare to be so arrogant?Ahh

"It's noisy!" Brunei snorted in his heart, but with a calm smile on his face, he greeted Ropol in front of him. This is just one of the same nonsense and disputes as the countless jokes of the system, and Brunei thought so and put the matter behind him.

Standing in front were Ropol, Telphons, and several other sailors. There were still a few people on the shore who remained there to thank Ropol, and judging from the footprints left on the ground, Ropol did keep his promise and let the "cargo" leave the Rama alive. It's just that if there is anything left, it is unknown. But to be honest, Brunei wasn't very interested.

That Telphons seemed to be much more honest since the evening, and no longer kept his last name on his lips as before, and his attitude towards Brunei had changed a lot, as if he always wanted to come up and call him a brother, and he didn't know what Jack said in his ear, anyway, before Brunei could speak, he waved his hand and told Eloy that she would be Brune's maid in the future—although in fact Brunei had only told him about letting Brunei go home.

And Ropol, after a night of pussing, seemed to be much better in dress and even in style than before, although he was only a little more than half the height of Brunei, and when he spoke to several sailors who were no less tall than Brunei, he was also on his toes, as if looking down on them. Although his words, actions, and dresses seemed to be faintly imitating Captain Rama, they showed very different things.

In any case, Ropol's attitude towards Brunei's words was relatively polite. The two sides exchanged the schedule for the rest of the day, and it was said that Ropol was going to send Mr. Telphons to the other side and send him back to the arms of the Federation, which was not very far away, but the Federation was very closely guarded, and it was expected to take a few days. So they agreed to return to this place in five days to meet and send Brunei to the port of the Thousand Islands. Ropol repeatedly patted his chest and assured that even if he was delayed for these five days, Brunei would not find a faster way to get to the port of the Thousand Islands than by taking the Rama.

Jack won the opportunity to disembark with Brunei and the others. In addition to being Brunei's guide, he also took on the task of purchasing supplies - and Brunei only then learned that the Rama had no plans to go to the Kuril Port in the first place.

After waving goodbye, Jack walked the first one as a guide, only to see his sticky smile on his face and his eyes eager to stick to the money bag, Brunei always had a little doubt that he would be able to bring them to Fox Town. Elvi followed closely behind Brunei Darussalam's left half a step behind, the tears on her face were still there, but she looked a little excited, the jump of walking itself was not obvious, but it was magnified several times in a very prominent place on her body.

Brunei coughed, blushed and turned his head, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed: "No! Isn't that scene before the same as confession? What 'with me', what 'nominally a maid', what 'follow me'!"

[Hey, hey, hey...... The uncle of this system sees that the development of your every volume and the heroine is anxious, and he personally goes down to help you pick up girls, but only now do you react? It's so disappointing my little Brunei Si, this is your best chance to get rid of your virginity!]

"Get out!" Brunei finally remembered what he had fully experienced when they first met, what the system really was.
