"Big cousin, the money is here, run!!"

In the surging flow of people, the child stuffed the package into Ye Qingxuan's arms, and then rushed into the crowd like grease and disappeared.

"Don't run, little ghost!"

"He's got an accomplice! Break his leg!"

"Hack him to !!"

Ye Qingxuan turned his head sluggishly and looked behind him, a group of strong men with hideous faces rushed towards him with daggers and chairs in their hands, their eyes fell on the package in his arms, and a fierce light bloomed.

"Uh, wait...... What's going on?"

Ye Qingxuan had a bad premonition......

－

Half an hour ago.

On the third day after leaving the town of Rut, in the morning, a breeze blew in from afar and the waves were quiet.

Traces of the island could already be seen in the distance, and the deck of the 'Titan' was crowded with people.

"Dear passengers, please do not leave your seat when the boat is not stopped!"

The waiters were maintaining order with bitter faces, holding loudspeakers and shouting: "Due to berth restrictions, we are temporarily unable to enter the port, please be patient."

While waiting, you can look to our right, and the white steamer is the sister ship "Nick", which was built at the same time as the "Titan", ......"

The passengers paid no attention to the waiters, still chatting and laughing with peanuts, and the crowd was sometimes filled with the cries of babies and the roars of strong men.

In the crowd, the white-haired teenager was squeezed to the stern of the boat and squatted with a group of pipe-smoking sailors.

Sailors don't mind sitting in the sun with a small child. Ye Qingxuan didn't have any scruples, compared to the group of well-dressed big people, he was still more relaxed in front of the upright and rude sailors.

"Hey, uncle. ”

Ye Qingxuan asked: "Do you have to wait so long every time you enter the port?"

"Because all the berths are occupied. ”

Beside him, the sailor was smoking a pipe and pointing in the direction of the port.

I could vaguely see a group of warships escorting a white ship slowly entering the harbor. Not far away, several merchant ships gathered on the surface of the sea were also waiting.

"All occupied?"

Ye Qingxuan leaned over to look: "Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"There's no way, it's Yunlou's ship, escorted by the Royal Navy. ”

The uncle blinked ambiguously, with a tacit smile between the men: "And, have you heard......?

"Huh?" Ye Qingxuan was confused, his face was dazed.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Princess of Cloud Tower City, don't you know? Avalon has already made a fuss about this incident. ”

"Yunlou, I only heard that it is an enclave in the East, only the governor, where did the princess come from?"

"Little one, you're outdated. ”

Uncle Pipe patted him on the shoulder: "What is the difference between a hereditary governor and a feudal king?" besides, the Yunlou clan controls the maritime trade between the East and the West, tea, spices, and silk...... It's so rich that it flows. The Orientals themselves say that their emperor's treasury has been moved to the sea. ”

"Hey, hey. Someone next to him laughed meaninglessly: "I'm going to borrow money again this time?"

"I don't have to worry if I have a lot of debts, I borrowed tens of millions, and there are tens of millions...... I can't afford it anyway. The uncle snorted in a low voice: "Behold, the kingdom on which the sun never sets is coming to an end." ”

"Uh......"

Ye Qingxuan always felt that they were talking about something very dangerous

"I heard that the princess of the Yunlou clan as the representative is a little beauty, and she is already a resonance-level musician at the age of seventeen, it's a pity that ......," the sailor next to him sighed.

"What a pity?"

"It is said that the royal family wants to marry Yunlou. The sailor laughed sheepishly, "But the whole kingdom of Anglo knows that the great prince prefers sheep ...... to women."

"Sheep?" Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

"That's right, sheep. Uncle Pipe nodded and sighed softly, "Sheep." ”

"Sheep. ”

The sailors around exchanged glances with each other and laughed knowingly. At the very bottom of the cabin, there was a cry of sheep at the very right time.

“......”

I don't know why, Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt: The world of adults is really dirty.

Fifteen minutes ago

"Come on, come on, don't hesitate, don't be confused! Fifty children's pay, five hundred yuan in return!"

Inside a tavern in the hustle and bustle of the port area.

In the air filled with the smell of tobacco and sweat, there were children's voices.

The tables surrounded by the crowd were crowded with men who had just disembarked, and sailors with thick arms and legs huddled together, counting the bills in front of them with bitter faces.

Just at the very end, a dirty child washed the playing cards in his hand, looking happy:

"Thirteen o'clock in the round just now...... Ahem, blackjack is everyone taking care of me at a young age. It's rare that the bosses can afford me, so the little brother will play another round of stud with the bosses later. ”

He looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a fedora, a dirty face, and a thin man, like a little beggar. But the movements of the hands are fast, comparable to that of a professional dealer.

An hour earlier the imp walked into the tavern, and began to play dice with people with the forty dollars he had stolen from somewhere, and now he had almost emptied half of the gamblers' net worth, and by the way tied the other half of the gamblers to his own table.

In the back, the bartender wiped his glass with an indifferent expression, watching indifferently as the little imp could still cheat how much money he could get into his pocket and leave. Or some red-eyed sailor pulls out a knife and stabs him down the drain.

"Come on, come on, just do it, don't be cowardly!"

The child, completely unaware of his situation, reached out and grabbed the crumpled banknotes and coins on the table into his arms, and shuffled the cards with a smile:

"Buy big to win big, buy small to win small. The opportunities of life should be grasped by yourself, and success at the table is close at hand!!"

Opposite him, a group of gamblers who had lost to the point of red-eyed rummaging through their pockets and throwing all the silver coins in their pockets on the table.

"Come again!"

"Uncle, I still have 400 yuan here, and I have the ability to take them all!"

"Good, good!"

The child's smiling eyes couldn't open: "I just like people like you big brothers, come back and ......."

The capital of the Kingdom of Anglo, the island of Avalon.

Ever since Arthur, the musician of 300 years ago, used the 'Golden Medal of Victory' to control twelve peerless phantom beasts and open up the island nation of Anglew, the blood of Angru's nobility has been passed down from generation to generation on this island.

Over the centuries, the kingdom has expanded its territory and has expanded beyond the island of Avalon to the surrounding continents. Half of the territory is sea, and the other half is land.

And Avalon, the island of the royal capital, has also become more and more complete under hundreds of years of repair.

Shrouded in perennial white mist, the city is built on a hill made of white stone, which is divided into nine rings from the palace at the top of the hill and falls down in turn until it finally spreads into the sea.

Today, the old temple of heresy is buried beneath the surface of the sea, and the City of the Crowns rises above the ocean under the arch of thirty-two outlying islands.

When stepping onto the dock area of the outermost ring, every traveler sees the huge stone tablet left by King Arthur, which is inscribed with the handwriting of a generation of heroes - the Kingdom of God Blessed.

It is a pity that God never blesses the homeless and the little beggars.

If someone doesn't have the money to ride in a carriage, then when he steps out of the dock area, his first foot in the mud will be surrounded by countless old women holding strange souvenirs in their hands and beggars who come empty-handed to return from you.

After a wave of looting, the traveler who is being caught by a gypsy witch and is being caught by a gypsy witch may not realize that the big hole in his wallet has been cut by a razor blade.

Ten minutes ago, Ye Qingxuan stepped on the port, sniffing the slightly stinky air in the air, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for here.

He pulled a fedora hat out of his pocket and tucked his striking white hair into it. Now when he bent down and stared at the water, he could no longer see anything that stood out.

"Can't you touch it, can you?"

He grinned and looked back at the beggar who was groping in his pocket: "You're late, I actually want to know where my wallet is." ”

"Phew, slam the door. ”

A few beggars took a sip and made an impolite gesture, and then hurried towards the new wrongdoer. Ye Qingxuan laughed proudly, he didn't have any money on him at all, all the money was on Lao Fei.

After he released Lao Fei from the suitcase, Lao Fei, who was about to go crazy, bit him on the hand, and the corners of Ye Qingxuan's mouth twitched painfully. However, Lao Fei obviously kept people under his mouth for the sake of his younger brother for many years, and did not bite the skin, which saved him a little face.

Immediately afterwards, the big dog began to laugh in shame on the muddy roads of Lower Avalon...... In a short time, it was dyed from a long-haired yellow dog to a dirty dog.

"Avalon is still like this, it's not strange that anything is happening in this kind of place. ”

Ye Qingxuan looked around and sighed in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a continuous loud sound of ping-pong behind him.

Immediately after, a figure threw herself into his arms and shoved a bulging package into his hand:

"Big cousin, the money is here!"

The child gasped and winked at him mysteriously: "Run!"

"Hmm? wait......"

Ye Qingxuan looked at the package stuffed with things in his arms in a daze, turned around, and then felt something break through the air. The dagger shriek flew past his ear and pinned to the lamp.

"What the hell?!"

A group of angry men, holding beer glasses, bench legs, two axes and several daggers, burst out of the bar, roaring and lunging.

"Catch him! they're a gang!" someone locked his red eyes on him.

"Won't it?"

Ye Qingxuan's scalp was numb: "What is the situation?"

Hey, wait, this situation is something that everyone knows what's fucking wrong, right......

Bang!

Another axe grazed his hand and drove it into the wall behind him......

"Hack that imp out of a thousand! I'll give you five hundred pounds!" roared the red-eyed man.

This time there was no need to say anything, Ye Qingxuan simply turned around neatly, and ran away!

－

"Hey, little ghost, don't run, come back to me!"

He chased after the child who was laughing wildly in front of him, and ran at full speed. －

After a long absence, he ran again on this street that had been chased and slashed countless times. There was a dead child in front of him, his dog beside him, and a group of people shouting and killing in the back.

I don't know why, inexplicably...... I was swept in.

In the wild running, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but roar: "When did this ghost become like this here!"

"Hasn't it always been like this?"

In the oncoming smelly sea breeze, when the dead child turned his head to look at him, he couldn't help but grin and run to the front gloatingly: "Hey, redneck, welcome to Avalon!"
