Countless people's eyes are on the sea, quietly waiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This fast sea is an inland sea, with a small area, a shallow average depth, and a relatively simple seabed landform, but a depth of more than 500 meters.

On the sea at night, the sea breeze is gusting, the sea water is blown by the sea breeze, slapping on the hull of the ship, making one after another "whoosh" sound, several bright magic crystal lamps hang on the side of the ship, constantly illuminating the sea surface where the pearl divers go to the sea.

Chris and Pandis stood at a distance, looking out at the sea, chatting in low voices.

Most of the rest of the wealthy merchants and nobles also brought their daughters and relatives around the pearl diving manager of the Booth Empire, laughing and flatteringly.

A guard behind him suddenly blocked a figure approaching the two: "Please stay!"

The two of them looked back together.

The man was also a man and a woman, the man was about forty years old, and beside him was a young woman of twenty-three or four.

The man wears a dark jacket that is not popular in various countries at the moment, which is divided into two layers, which is very close-fitting, and the sleeves are reasonably designed, so that the arms can be moved freely, so that the whole body can be moved. There are more than a dozen buttons on the jacket, and there are thin straps on the lining of the jacket that connect the top end of the skinny leg pants to it. It was covered with a black cloak, which had emerged at the end of the last century, with a collar that covered the ears, a collar that covered the back of the neck, and a lower skirt that dragged to the ground, and a set of buttons on the chest, which was long and wide in shape. And in this period, such a dress seems too classical.

The man has long eyebrows and deep eyes, his face is neatly groomed, and he has a neat mustache on his upper lip.

The woman beside him was wearing a collared blouse, with a round, angular and square neckline, the neckline was wide open, exposing the upper part of the breast, the belt was raised very high, and the figure was bewitching, without a veil, and her face was delicate.

It's like a character from an ancient painting of the last century!

They smiled kindly at the two of them.

Stunned, Chris smiled politely and nodded to the guards, who stepped aside.

The two stepped forward, and the man gave a noble salute and smiled gently: "Hello, Your Excellency, Lord and Lady Philip?"

Chris couldn't help but be slightly startled, and Pandis's hand tightened.

Why did anyone on this ship recognize themselves?

He smiled and returned the salute: "It is here, may I ask your Excellency?"

The man smiled, "Your Excellency must be very surprised," he smiled, as if he was very proud of the surprise on their faces, "I am Dudley Hill from Temore County in the south of the Rolan Empire, and this is my wife, Tito. ”

The beautiful young woman smiled and made a lady's salute.

Chris was startled and couldn't help but glance at Pandis.

The southern county of Temore in the Rolan Empire was also surnamed Hill, and as far as Klees knew, there was only one noble family with the surname Hill.

There is no doubt that this is what Lawrence said, the brother who did not want to compete with Francis for the family fortune and went out to do business away from the family!

But right now, he is playing an ordinary nobleman in the Booth Empire at this time, and he can only hold back his mood at the moment, pretend not to know, and respond politely: "Luo Lan Empire? Oh, it's really surprising, it's Philip Ryan below, this is my wife, Nancy." ”

Pandis smiled as well.

Dudley Hill smiled, "Your Excellency must be surprised to know your name, right?"

Chris nodded, "I won't tell you, it's true!"

Dudley laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, it's not worth a penny - the investor in this ship is below." His wife also sneered and gave her husband a blank look.

It dawned on Chris that he looked at Pandis.

It seems that this Dudley is still the majority shareholder of this ship, and the so-called captain of this ship is just a senior manager hired by several shareholders here. With his right, of course, he could find out the names of every passenger on the ship, but why he noticed himself still made Chris scratch his head.

It can't be sent by some force to keep an eye on him, right? If so, even if it's Lawrence's brother, desperately trying to blame him in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. Chris quietly clenched his fist.

Dudley Hill smiled, "There are not many nobles among the passengers this time, and most of them are coming for that," he pointed to the group of people waiting for the pearl divers, "and it is only you two who have been on the ship for three days and have not liked to go out, and you are the ones I have only seen so far." ”

Seeing Chris's smile, Dudley lowered his voice and leaned closer to his face: "When I saw Mrs. Zun, I suddenly understood-please forgive me for making a bold guess: Your Excellency has not been married for a long time, right?" After that, he squeezed his eyes at Chris, laughed, and the laughter was full of teasing.

The young woman and Pandis on the side blushed instantly, and the young woman slapped her husband with her hand, and her eyes turned hotly on Chris.

Chris couldn't cry or laugh, feeling the resentful eyes under Pandis's veil, he could only divert the topic: "Your Excellency said that he is from the Luo Lan Empire, but why is he doing business in the Booth Empire now?"

The reason for this is naturally known by Chris, but they are just getting to know each other for the first time, and this question cannot be avoided, if they don't ask, they are afraid that the other party will be strange.

Dudley Hill smiled and said helplessly: "I was just ordered by the family, but now fortunately, I have achieved a little." ”

Chris knew that the other party didn't want to say more, and if he said it, he was afraid that it would be called "family ugliness", but Francis was deposed of his right hand by Chris, and he didn't know if he knew.

He motioned to the group of nobles waiting for the pearl divers: "Your Excellency is not interested in pearls?"

Chris shook his head slightly: "It's just a little curious." ”

Dudley Hill said, "If you don't give up, the best pearl you will ever harvest this time will be your lordship," he said, turning his eyes on Pandis's veiled face, "and only the most beautiful pearl is worthy of Lady Nancy's beauty!"

Well, Chris is sure, this family surnamed Hill is all perverts, not to mention Francis, so is Lawrence, and I can't imagine that the one in front of me is no exception.

The power of genetics is evident!

He smiled and nodded in thanks: "Then thank Your Excellency for your generosity!"

Pandis also saluted, "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

Dudley Hill laughed and was about to say something when someone on the side of the ship shouted, "Here it is." ”

Dalihir smiled, "Yes, it's going to be a good day, Lord Philip, let's take a look?"

Several pearl divers' heads were exposed to the surface of the ship, and they hung bags full of shellfish on hooks hanging from the side of the ship, and then filled the air with a few used bags, rested on the side of the ship for a while, and then dived into the sea again.

Chrisse suddenly felt that something was wrong. (To be continued.) )
