Chapter 27 Take Care of Our Children
For many people in Rhode Island, the night of the banquet in early December was obviously full of strange mysteries, and the nobles who were invited to attend were all red-faced but unsatisfied, and no matter how much others tried to inquire, they were very secretive about the content of the banquet, only saying that the trip was too worthwhile.
And according to a certain grapevine, it is said that the Viscount Ford, who left the banquet excitedly, brought twelve beauties home that night, and then ...... Well, God knows what happened next, but according to one of the courtesans, the Viscount was so powerful that all the beauties begged for mercy in the end.
Just kidding! For this gossip, people who know the inside story of the aristocratic circle are extremely suspicious, knowing that the Viscount Ford, who is as fat as a pig, has always been called only three seconds, and it is still after taking medicine.
But the problem is that the nobles who know the inside story are convinced of this gossip, especially the Earl Simmons, who is extremely at odds with Viscount Ford, who gritted his teeth with envy and jealousy, and immediately drove a carriage early the next morning, full of gold coins to find Lin Taiping.
As it turned out, it wasn't just him who couldn't wait, but when Earl Simmons arrived at Christine's house, he found that the carriage had already been parked, and the enthusiastic nobles were lined up in a long line, wiping their sweaty heads while desperately waving golden tickets, which made all the residents passing by look sideways, and they didn't understand what these nobles were crazy about early in the morning.
And it was from this morning that a certain secret epidemic that could not be made public began to spread throughout the aristocratic circle, so that when many nobles met, they did not greet each other and say "Have you eaten today", but asked mysteriously, "Have you got a tattoo today......
In this case, Lin Taiping's totem tattoo business is booming, groups of nobles come to visit, whole boxes of gold coins are moved into Christine's house, Mr. Cohen laughs all day long and even his back molars are exposed, and his daily task is to sit there and count the money, even if the money is counted until his hands cramp does not hinder his good mood.
Only pity Tulu and the Minotaur tribe, for the huge profits of the capitalists, these laborers are squeezed out of all the surplus value, the first thing they wake up every morning is to make a totem tattoo, and the last thing before going to bed every night is to make a totem tattoo, and even the meal has to be fed by a special person.
In this way, after just half a month, Lin Taiping suddenly found that he could play poker with a lot of golden tickets, even if he removed the share given to Mr. Cohen, and then demarcated the remuneration to the Minotaur tribe and Christine, he still had more than 30,000 gold coins in his hand, even if he used it to play in the water, he could play for several hours.
However, by this time, and as he expected, as the number of potential customers continued to decrease, the craze for totem tattoos was also decreasing, and fewer and fewer nobles came to order that kind of totem tattoos, and the profits brought by ordinary tattoos began to decline, which meant that he had to go back to Alcatraz as much as possible.
After learning about this, Tulu and the Minotaur tribe's first reaction was to pat his chest and say that he wanted to accompany him back, considering his own safety issues, even if they didn't take the initiative to ask, Lin Taiping would drag them as free meat shields, but Christine, who also volunteered to accompany her, was left in Rhode Island to take care of a dozen little Loli.
But in this way, due to the lack of Christine's humanoid mobile arsenal, Lin Taiping suddenly felt a little uneasy, so before officially leaving, he deliberately went to Robin Street, brandished gold coins and made a big purchase, buying a large number of materials and one hundred and fifty magic crystals.
On the other hand, in order to ensure the safety of his big benefactor, Mr. Cohen also used all his connections to borrow a garrison warship from the lord, a medium-sized large-masted square sailing ship, extremely fast and fierce, and equipped with fifty powerful warriors, even if it encounters a large pirate group...... Well, at least you can get away!
What was somewhat unexpected was that the commander of this battleship was actually the captain of the guard who had several encounters, because he had privately accepted the benefits of Lin Taiping, and Mr. Cohen did not hesitate to buy it with gold coins, the attitude of the captain of the guard was simply enthusiastic, and he patted his chest again and again and said that even if he didn't want to fight for his life, he would not let his dear Lin lose a hair.
In this case, the day of official sailing finally came, Christine took thirteen little Lori, Mr. Cohen with three beautiful and gentle daughters, as well as nobles such as Viscount Ford and Earl Simmons, and collectively escorted Lin Taiping to the docks.
As for the next, of course, it is a bloody but warm farewell ceremony, of course, considering the different circumstances of each person, the content of the farewell is completely different-
"Dear Lin, you remember to come back early. Mr. Cohen blinked, and by the way, he didn't forget to push the daughter next to him up, "Alice, say hello to your fiancé, aren't you going to send a blessed kiss?"
"Lin, I heard that you will bring more interesting goods?" Viscount Ford shook hands affectionately goodbye, and said in a low voice, "By the way, dear Lin, can the effect of the ordinary totem you tattoo for me be a little stronger...... Well, I've had my eye on a couple of succubi lately. ”
"Uncle, are you going to marry my sister?" In Christine's strange face, Vivian and a dozen little Lori surrounded her, and asked in a milky and serious voice, "That, what does it mean to get married, do you sleep together every day?"
Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping was moved to tears by this warm farewell, and jumped on the ship as if he was running away, of course, jumping on the Weirong battleship with good comfort and safety, as for Tulu and the thirty minotaurs, they were stuffed with the Black Pearl in one go, and sent a captain to guide them on how to steer the ship.
A moment later, with the sound of a low horn, the masculine sailing ship pulled up its iron anchor and hung its sails, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, the Black Pearl slowly sailed towards the unknown expanse of the ocean, following the crooked and twisted ship that could turn on its side at any moment.
Lin Taiping leaned on the side of the boat, looked back at the dock with some sadness, he looked at Christine with a worried face, and suddenly felt a little moist in his eyes, and couldn't help waving his hand vigorously: "Honey, take care of the child in your belly...... Also, I named him Lin Ping'an!"
Everyone present suddenly turned their heads to look at Christine very neatly, Tulu's face was full of shock, the beautiful girl Leah was heartbroken, and as for Mr. Cohen, he looked at the three daughters behind him, and suddenly felt an urge to strangle himself...... Woo woo, sure enough, was this woman preemptive?
So, Christine, who was flushed with a blushing face, suddenly had the urge to carry the magic crystal cannon and directly bombard this unscrupulous boss into scum, but at this moment, looking at the battleship that gradually disappeared on the sea level, she somehow suddenly had an uncontrollable feeling of palpitations, as if something terrible was about to happen?
In fact, something terrible did happen, because at this moment, on the deck of the battleship traveling at high speed, Lin Taiping suffered from seasickness again, which made him start to vomit endlessly again, as if it was not Christine who was pregnant, but himself.
"Lin, are you alright?" asked the captain of the guard, who was the captain of the ship, holding a nautical chart beside him, with a concerned face, "According to the nautical chart, it will take us at least three days to reach the Alcatraz Island you mentioned...... The gods are above, and there really be demons living on that island, right?"
"The devil didn't, but there was a group of women waiting in line to have a baby. Lin Taiping was stunned like this, but he still didn't forget to complain, "Don't talk about this, I really want to find a place to lie down for a while, do you have a comfortable cabin?"
This is not a problem at all, the captain of the guard immediately patted his chest, saying that his captain's room was comfortable and warm, and it was destined to be prepared for Mr. Lin, which made Lin Taiping feel very strange, and even couldn't help but think about how much gold Mr. Cohen spent to make this captain of the guard serve him like an uncle.
However, he soon knew why, and at the moment when he was sent into the captain's room, the captain of the guard suddenly lowered his voice, rubbed his hands with a flushed face and said: "What, Mr. Lin, I heard that you have prepared a totem for Viscount Ford, which is a very ordinary one, you see ......"
Lin Taiping suddenly realized, and in the face of the expectant gaze of the captain of the guard, he waved his hand very generously: "No problem, when I return to Rhode Island, I will ask Tulu and them to help you make a tattoo, how about a 50% discount?"
Hearing this, the captain of the guard smiled so hard that he showed the root of his teeth, and immediately took out the fresh fruit that had been prepared, and after a long day of courteous hospitality with a courteous face, he gently closed the door and said goodbye, and before leaving, he said that if he needed anything, he could go to the deck to find him at any time.
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality. Lin Taiping expressed his heartfelt gratitude, but after a few minutes, when the door was closed, the first thing he did was not sleep, but-
In an instant, a flash of crimson light flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the captain's room, and reappeared in the hall of the gods, still facing dozens of towering statues of the gods.
Then, as if sensing his coming, the loud and low, hollow voice resounded throughout the temple again: "Mortal, kneel before the gods, and offer your sacrifice with devotion, and you will receive the ...... of the gods."
"Wait, I want to ask one thing. Unexpectedly, Lin Taiping did not directly take out the magic crystal this time, but suddenly interrupted the voice.
Raising his head thoughtfully, he slowly inspected the entire hall, his eyes shining with a strange light, but he finally took a deep breath and raised his voice and asked-
"I wondered if I could see the specifics of the blessing before the sacrifice was offered...... I mean, all the blessings!"
