008: Owen's request

The corners of Kane's mouth twitched.

This necklace that I don't know what the hell looks a little better in Kane's eyes, that's all, if Zax hadn't suddenly intervened, he would have returned this thing in the morning, but now he wants to take it, isn't it difficult for a strong man?

It's a sad story...

Kane suddenly felt that he should discuss with him whether to go to Wangjia Village to order one, the price is fair, and Tong Su is not bullied... I just felt that the atmosphere was a little inappropriate, but I finally held back.

After pondering for a while, Kane still decided to tell the truth, and said embarrassedly: "Lieutenant Owen, I'm sorry I can't help you with this favor..."

Owen was anxious and interrupted, "I hope you think about it again. ”

This time, Fario was directly recalled to the imperial capital because of this necklace, and he didn't know what punishment he would receive, which Owen absolutely did not want to see.

Owen was born in a down-and-out aristocratic family in the Empire, and his father committed suicide in his early years after a business failure, even worse than some civilian families.

It wasn't until the vindictive talent that he showed later was fortunate enough to be funded by the Green family that he got out of the predicament.

And although Fario has the bad temper of some children of the nobles of the empire, he has always treated this playmate from childhood to adulthood very well, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as brotherhood.

"It's not a problem..."Kane spread his hands helplessly, and said sincerely: "I have already given away that necklace, and it is not in my hand now." ”

Owen's face sank, but the noble children who came with him couldn't help but shout.

"Major, don't be too much, Owen has already given you enough face!"

"We've already admitted that something was wrong last time, isn't that enough?"

The value of the Bright Star was clear to everyone present, and Kane said that it was a change of hands, and where could they believe such a thing.

Scarlett, who was standing next to Owen, stepped forward and said in a slightly cold voice: "Major, don't deceive people too much! I know that a country nobleman like you can get the bright stars..."

"Shut up, Scarlett!" Owen interrupted sharply

After a pause, he swept his gaze at the noble companions around him and said, "Take them all out, let the major see our sincerity." ”

It was evident that the officers around him were displeased, but they still took out all kinds of gold and silver instruments from their pockets, and the tables were piled up with a clanging sound, which were more valuable than the last time at the banquet.

Owen then smiled open-mindedly and said to Kane: "Major, these are our little thoughts, if the actual value alone is far more than ten times that of the bright stars, please help me in this matter, count me Owen owes you a favor." ”

What a lot of treasures...

The colors were so shiny that even Jonas, who was accustomed to seeing rare treasures, was dizzy all the time, and Troy barely left a saliva behind.

Kane was really speechless.

He explained very seriously: "Lieutenant Owen, to be honest, that bright star may be a treasure to you, but I really didn't care, otherwise I wouldn't have offered to return it to Fario at the last banquet, but the key problem is that I really gave it away." ”

Kane felt that his attitude was already very correct, and he had pondered the words more than once, but why did these people in front of him still not give up?

Before Owen could speak, the Imperial officers next to him had already cursed.

"Don't be too arrogant!

"A greedy person like you won't end well!"

Kane frowned, no matter how good his temper was, it would not be comfortable to point directly at and scold people.

This time, Owen didn't stop him, and after they scolded for a while, he spoke, and his words were completely devoid of the respect he had before.

He unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and despite the dissuasion of his companions, he slammed it on the table with a clatter: "Major, do you like to gamble?"

After a pause, he opened his mouth and continued: "This sword is called Tempest, it is a high-level magic equipment, and it is the work of Master Kimor, if you rely on your military salary for a lifetime, you can't afford it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes were red and he stared at Kane: "Bet with me, I know that you are only a silver-level swordsman, and I am the strength of the upper gold, I will not take advantage of you, the weapon is up to you, I am empty-handed, and I promise not to use combat skills, I will bet on the bright stars with you!"

"I've already said thatβ€”" Kane tried to explain again, but looking at their faces, he felt that there was no point in talking so much nonsense with these people.

He waved his hand and said impatiently, "I won't fight you." ”

Owen's face changed suddenly.

"Major, I've already given you face, youβ€”" He was furious

Seeing this, Kane completely lost his patience, and he said coldly: "Shut up, lieutenant, please remember your own identity, according to Article 148 of the military law, offend the commander, and I have the right to deal with you now!

Rights are a good thing.

I used to think that Kane was a bully when he lowered his posture, but after he moved this gold-lettered signboard, these imperial capital officers didn't dare to speak, and no one dared to joke about the future, right?

"Don't be impulsive, Owen!" Scarlett said as she glanced at the bruised Owen and hurriedly grabbed him

The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, but it was clear that these Imperial officers had begun to retreat, and they were no better than Owen and Fario.

However, at this moment, a clear cold voice suddenly sounded.

"You're so afraid of losing?!"

Yi Xue, who was sitting alone not far away, suddenly walked over, and she glanced at Kane with a cold gaze: "In addition to abusing the power in her hands to make excuses for her incompetence, what else will you order?"

Without looking back, he left the Sky Garden Restaurant.

"Let's go, Owen, there's no point in talking nonsense, he won't dare fight you. ”

"Imperial Major? Silver Flash?

Owen finally gave Kane a cold look: "Major, you really disappointed me, I thought you were so famous, you should be a person who has the courage to accept challenges, but unfortunately I was wrong."

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply: "In addition to power and fame, there are many things to cherish in this world, such as friendship, but I don't think people like you will understand, sad!"

Dropping this sentence, he put away the table of treasures on the table, and took the nobles around him to withdraw directly from the Sky Garden Restaurant, without even eating a bite of food.

Kane, who stayed where he was, opened his mouth blankly, and suddenly felt that this thing was a little inexplicable.

Although he didn't lose anything, he always felt as if he had fed someone a mouthful of, and he had to be forced to swallow it.

"My lord, or..."Troy's hesitant voice came, and seeing that the matter was a bit big, he opened his mouth to suggest: "Find a chance, I'll go to Chou Xili and get the necklace back, right?"

Kane hesitated for a moment, he didn't have this idea before, but he just remembered the happy pretty face of Yu Xili, and it was not in his style to go back on his word for these irrelevant people.

"Oh my God!" Jonas next to him suddenly opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "Is that the bright star they are talking about? You really gave him away?" Kane?"

"Don't talk about this anymore, talk about something else. Kane sat down to continue his meal, distraught

The night is as cool as water, the galaxy is brilliant, the third party, the aft deck.

What a broken necklace actually caused so many things!

Standing on the deck, leaning against the guardrail, Kane looked out at the vast sea of clouds.

The clouds soothed, the airship soared over this sea of white clouds, as the hull moved forward, breaking through layers of white clouds, the night breeze was slow, blowing in the face, mixed with a slight smell of moisture, and the cold feeling relieved Kane's irritability a little.

Let it be.

Anyway, I have done everything I should have done, and I just have a clear conscience.

With that in mind, Kane took the oath of courage and danced with the night wind.

I've been seasick during the day, and I didn't get better until later, and I couldn't sleep anyway when I stayed in the cabin, so I might as well come out and do my homework for the day.

"Da... Da... Click..."

There was a crisp clatter of boots on the deck, and Eva slowly walked across the side of the ship.

She has a habit of walking at night because of the quiet.

The outside world is very noisy, comparison, vanity, calculation, greed, everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy, obviously laughing and sarcastic at you in their hearts, and still pretending to be sanctimonious on the surface, using some hypocritical excuses to put the wrong shackles on others, just like the major today.

It is not a shame for a person to be weak, it is a shame that he does not even have the courage to admit that he is weak.

What is even more tragic is that such people still have weapons in their hands to defend themselves.

Owen, although they belong to the same team as her, they are basically strangers, and Kane is not familiar with her, and according to her usual temperament, she will not ask about these things.

It's just that Kane's use of power as a shield today makes her feel disgusting, and reminds her of the man she hated in her memory.

The same shamelessness, the same high-sounding!

Forget it, it doesn't have anything to do with me.

Thinking so, she raised her jade hand and gently flicked the tips of her hair blown by the night wind, and walked along the railing to the stern...
