Chapter 113: The Hatred of the Long Song
"My lord, Kirishima is just ahead!"
A few hours later, almost in the evening, Chen Gou, who was standing on the bow of the boat, saw a huge silhouette in front of him gradually appearing on the sea level.
Kirishima lives up to its name, the entire island is shrouded in a top-down fog, misty, full of mystery, and also makes people feel a kind of horror in the face of the unknown.
As soon as the ship docked, a gorgeously dressed young man with a dozen attendants came on board to greet him.
"Locke, the son of the Lord of Fog City, came to greet the Abyss Knight on the orders of his father, and his father was unable to come in person because he was sick, so I hope your forgiveness. ”
After the young man saw Chen Gou on the deck, he greeted him with a glance, and the etiquette was thoughtful, and he couldn't find the slightest fault.
Chen Gou didn't care about these at first, nodded and smiled: "Don't be so polite, I'm the Lord of Flower Island, speaking of which, we are still neighbors, you are a few years older than me, just call my name directly in the future." ”
"Don't dare, at least not in public. The red-haired and blue-eyed Locke smiled, his expression was obviously much more relaxed, he was afraid that the knights sent to them were a knight with a strange personality and difficult to speak.
"My lord, we have already arranged the accommodation, the best guest rooms in the City Lord's Mansion, all the configurations including the maids are also the best, do you want to go to the bath and rest for a while, and then wait for the dinner party to start?"
This was the custom of the local order of hospitality, and the knights had to make the most thorough arrangements whether they needed it or not.
Otherwise, if any knight is not satisfied, it will be a very big trouble for them and these little lords.
The Abyss Knights are a little better, if it is a Knights of Judgment with a crowd of children from the family, there are almost few people who have nothing to talk to.
"Forget about dinner, I'm not here to play. ”
Chen Gou waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Non Nan, a member of our Changge Clan, has a younger brother named Norton, do you know where he lives?"
"Norton?" Locke repeated the name, looking confused.
A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper behind him whispered: "Young master, I know, but ......"
"But what?" said Locke dissatisfied, "just say it, don't dwell on it." ”
The housekeeper looked at Chen Gou and said helplessly: "Adults will know when they go to see it." ”
Chen Goudeng's brows furrowed, generally speaking, he must be having a bad time, otherwise there is no need to vomit.
But Chen Gou didn't say anything, and motioned to the housekeeper to lead the way in front.
After the group got off the boat, Chen Gou only left the housekeeper and Locke to follow, and the rest of the people went back directly.
During the mission, he didn't like the feeling of a group of people following him.
The streets of Fog City are full of ancient atmosphere, and many of the buildings are built very atmosphericly, which is the standard of the big city, which shows that it was once prosperous, but now it is obviously declining.
It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is much better than the flower island.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Chen Gou came to a wide street and walked towards a very imposing mansion, which was obviously a place where rich and powerful people lived.
But beneath the surface of relative prosperity, there is also decay and poverty.
Stray dogs rummaged through the garbage heaps in the corners, and leper beggars moaned innocently while looking at the passing crowd.
In front of a house at the end of the street, a group of people gathered there.
In the center of the crowd was a scrawny teenager, thirteen or fourteen years old, decadent as an old man, with unkempt hair more messy than a chicken coop, kneeling on the ground begging for a pot-bellied man.
"Steward Jimmy, you add more, half of my Nuo's ancestral mansion, there are more than a dozen rooms in such a big place, how can it be worth thirty crystal coins." ”
"Master Norton, what you said is not right, I have already offered the highest price in the entire Fog City, if you don't believe it, who else can offer a higher price than this?"
The pot-bellied Jimmy glanced around, and everyone couldn't help but look away from him as soon as they made eye contact, not daring to look at each other, let alone say a higher price.
In fact, even if Kirishima declines, the mansion of a dozen houses will definitely be far more than thirty crystal coins.
But the reason why no one dared to bid was because Jimmy's main family produced a knight of the Knights of Trial, and his family made it clear that he wanted to buy and sell, who would dare to come forward?
When the young Norton looked at the people around him with a cold expression, even a look of disgust and schadenfreude, he knew that no one would help him.
Then his face suddenly showed a painful face, and the tears and snot all came down at once, and then he crawled up to Jimmy with his hands and feet, kowtowing and begging: "Jimmy butler, please...... Please give me another ten crystals, just ten, I promise...... I promise never to look for you again, just the last ten!"
"Hey!"
Jimmy held his big belly and pretended to sigh: "Master Norton, after all, your family was once a high-class family in Kirishima, and your sister was a former abyss knight, how could you fall to such a point? I can be regarded as watching you grow up, I really feel worthless for your sister." ”
"No, I'm not a piece of waste, I can't disgrace my sister......"
Young Norton suddenly protested, his eyes flashing with fierce struggle.
But soon he begged with tears and snot in his eyes: "I can't do it, please give me another ten crystal coins, or just give me a dose of phantom soul powder, I really can't do it......"
As he spoke, his fingers kept scratching and scratching all over his body, and soon there were blood marks everywhere, but he didn't care, as if he had to turn all the flesh over to be comfortable.
"Hey, this kid is a complete waste. ”
"Few people can withstand the Awakened Soul Powder, let alone an ordinary child. ”
"The Nuo family is also too miserable, the most outstanding daughter died in battle, and the originally well-behaved and sensible son was also framed and addicted to drugs, not only ruined the family property, but the aunt who raised them was also angry and died......"
"There's no way, four people from the Shocking Changge team, including Nuo Nan, died in battle, and I heard that there was also a captain who gave up on himself and became a living dead, but if there is one person who can take care of things, Norton will not become like this. ”
The onlookers couldn't help but sigh for a long time, feeling heartache for what happened to the Nuo family, but they were helpless.
The grievances between the Nuo family and the Warren family next door have a long history, which can be traced back to the previous generation.
Now that Nonan has died in battle, the Nuo family has lost its pillars, and the Warren family is in the limelight, who dares to touch this mold?
Jimmy, the housekeeper of the Warren family, saw that everyone around him was submissive to him, and became more and more complacent, took out a few crystal coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground.
"For the sake of the neighbor's affection, I'll give you another ten crystal coins, and it'll be regarded as a dog, hurry up and pick it up and get out!"
"Good, thank you Butler Jimmy......"
Young Norton was overjoyed and lay on the ground to pick up the crystal coin.
But a pair of feet in leather boots suddenly appeared in his sight, and the soles of their feet fell on the crystals and crushed them into powder.
"What are you doing?"
Young Norton was furious, his eyes were blood-red in an instant, and he raised his head like a hungry wolf, staring at the person who appeared in front of him.
If it weren't for the little reason he had left to tell him that he would never be able to beat him, I'm afraid he would have pounced on him and eaten him alive.
Chen Gou looked at him condescendingly, and asked expressionlessly: "I'll only give you one chance, answer me seriously, do you still want to stand up and live like a person, and do you still want to avenge your sister Nuo Nan?"
The boy looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be not much older than himself, but who made him feel great pressure like a stern father, and suddenly fell silent.
Thinking of his sister Nonan, his face turned ashamed, and tears of remorse and humiliation flowed from his eyes.
"Waste, what are you crying about!" Chen Gou slapped him and directly hit half of his face so that it instantly doubled, and shouted angrily: "Tell me, do you want to?"
The boy was obviously blinded by this slap, and stood in place, even the pain of the onset of drug addiction seemed to be forgotten for a while.
"Waste, what else are you going to do besides crying? How can Nuo Nan have a brother like you who is like a waste? No wonder you will die, it is estimated that it is also in vain......
Chen Gou slapped his backhand again, slapping the other half of his face to the ground.
"You are not allowed to despise my sister, and ...... I'm not a waste!" Young Norton finally broke out, roaring like a little tiger, and there was a bit of sharpness in his eyes.
"Tell me if it's not waste, do you want to?"
"I want to!!"
The young Norton clenched his fists tightly, his nails were inserted into the flesh, blood flowed out instantly, and tears flowed out of his eyes again: "But I can't quit, I really can't quit......"
Chen Gou's expression softened, he reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "As long as you still want to, everyone will make mistakes, and you still have a chance to correct it......"
He naturally knows how difficult it is to quit drugs, let alone being a child.
If this kid can quit, it will not be in vain for him to make this trip, which can be regarded as maintaining the reputation of the Changge team.
But if the child can't quit, then ...... Let him go to his sister sooner, so that he may not remain in the world and suffer.
"Hey, where did you come from, and who told you to meddle?"
Several sturdy men suddenly rushed out of the crowd and looked at Chen Gou with an unhappy expression.
The leader of them was a man wearing a vest, who came up and pointed to Chen Gou's nose and said: "Look at Miansheng, it's from outside, the master advises you not to meddle in things, you can't afford to wade in this muddy water!"
These people are all ruffians raised by the housekeeper Jimmy, and they are usually responsible for helping him do shady things.
This is where they come in handy, and Jimmy naturally wouldn't do it himself.
"It's you!"
At this moment, the young Norton suddenly became excited, pointed at these people and gritted his teeth and shouted: "You tricked me into drinking a glass of water and made me stained with phantom powder!!"
"Master Norton, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, when did we frame you? Do you have evidence?"
The man in the vest sneered disdainfully: "You yourself are greedy for pleasure, you are weak-willed, you have lost all your family property, you are angry with your aunt, and you are not as good as a dog, so you want to put all the blame on others? ”
Young Norton was anxious and angry when he heard this, and his chest rose and fell violently.
