An hour later, the Titanic had sailed away from the City that never sleeps.

Rand decided to go back this time, still not choosing the fastest way, but deciding to take a boat.

The relatively closed environment facing the sea on the boat may allow him to think about what to do when he goes back.

Before coming out on this trip, he originally made a somewhat ridiculous move because he didn't want to go down according to his family's arrangement.

It's not surprising that this kind of rebellious behavior happens to young people, and he doesn't really plan not to go back.

However, although he still had to go back this time, his state of mind was completely different from when he came out, and his experience in the city that never sleeps, what he saw and heard on the way from the city that never sleeps to the base area of the Northern Liberation Front, and the fact that he lived in the base area of the Liberation Front for nearly a year, his thinking has undergone some changes.

For example, he used to undoubtedly revere his grandfather, who was only a successful businessman and did not possess any supernatural powers, but he had laid the foundation and status of the Jimenez family single-handedly.

However, the experience of this year seemed to reveal to him what kind of foundation his grandfather, who was kind to him, was able to make a fortune.

Rand rubbed the sides of the bridge of his nose with the index fingers of both hands, feeling a little sour.

One family laughs, and ten thousand families cry.

He was still reluctant to admit it, but he couldn't seem to avoid it.

With such ambivalence, he felt that he could no longer stay among the Lombana and them, and that he missed his hometown and relatives, so he decided to come back.

But when he returned and accepted the family's arrangement, and inherited the family business, he felt an urge to tear something apart at the thought that Jimenez had developed with ambergris.

He chose to take a boat because he decided to come back, but he hadn't really figured out what he should do when he came back. There will be another buffer time for the boat ride.

There was a bit of a commotion in the cabin, and he didn't choose to take first class when he came back this time, and it was certainly not a matter of money, although he donated most of his personal assets to Lombana when he left the Liberation Front, including the Source Gun.

He still can't completely integrate into the Liberation Front in his heart, because after all, he is not an elf. It's not the Terrans of the Emerald Continent, they're fighting for themselves, and to Rand, he's just a passerby, approaching with curiosity and confusion, and then leaving, but after all, they've fought together and lived together for a while, so things including the Source Force Gun are left to them, and it's some heart. What Rand took away was the memory, just like the diary he hid on his body now and carefully protected, and he even did not hesitate to spend magic to cast spells on the diary, blessing the effects of dust, water, and fire.

There is still no money for taking a first-class cabin, but he chose to take a third-class cabin, subconsciously, perhaps because he is used to living with many people in caves and tree houses on the Liberation Front. This change may be something that Rand himself is not aware of.

But there was a commotion in the cabin at this time. The games and singing of the third-class passengers were a bit of a distraction from his thoughts, and it was not suitable for keeping a diary, so he decided to put on his clothes and go to the deck.

Clear skies could be seen from the deck, and Rand walked to the railing, with people coming and going behind him, at the bow of the ship. A beautiful girl and a boy hugged each other.

The boy took the girl's waist and made her stand on the bow railing with her eyes closed, facing the wind and the sun, and stretched out his hands while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Kissing the ends of her hair and shouting "I am the king of the world".

Rand couldn't help but wonder, such a beautiful young boy and girl relationship made his mood feel relaxed and peaceful.

Even if this world has the ugliness brought about by the ambergris ointment, and the cruelty that the Northland War is experiencing, it also has the beauty in front of it.

"Brother Rand!"

A small hand tugged at the corner of his pants, interrupting his thoughts, and then he saw a small face full of surprise.

"Belisand?" Rand recognized the little girl, the little girl he had met in the third class when he and Hocho came by boat, and later invited them to visit the first class and go to the first class café to play a game of truth or dare, until Jackson showed up and interrupted the game.

"Mr. Rand?" the little girl's mother also appeared, and Rand remembered that she seemed to be called Sarah or Shar.

"Sha ......."

"Sarah, Mr. Rand. The little girl's mother was kind enough to say her name first.

"I'm sorry. Rand smiled awkwardly.

The dress of Lady Sarah in front of her was different from when she came, and the dress of Lady Sarah, whom she met in the third class, was much more fashionable, and Rand remembered that it was a trimmed one-piece dress with lace on it, which brought out the charm of the young woman, while at this time Lady Sarah was wearing an old hat, wearing a black skirt made of thick nicknames, and a plain shirt with a waist tied into the skirt, which could not be said to be ugly, but it looked relatively conservative, this was a dress suitable for a woman over thirty-five, not a young woman like her, who might not be yet thirty years old。

When Rand saw her face, he was even more sure that Lady Sarah might be in trouble, and her child, Belisand, was still young, and perhaps did not know what the melancholy on her mother's face could no longer hide.

"Brother Rand, it's great to see you again. The little girl was very happy to meet Rand again on the way back.

"I'm happy too. Rand touched her head.

"Madam, your face is not very good, do you need my help?"

"No, no. Lady Sarah squeezed out a smile as she struggled.

But Rand could see that her words were insincere, the other party was a woman, and if she refused verbally, it was generally not suitable for further questioning, which was easy to cause misunderstanding and damage the reputation of both parties.

However, it was not only Lady Sarah who was in front of her, she also had Belisand, a little girl.

"If there's anything you need help with, please say, ma'am, I don't mean anything about it, I just think you're not just a person, but Belisand. Rand said sincerely.

Belisanda looked at the two with her head held high, and Lady Sarah's face changed, her eyes were slightly red, but she still didn't say it directly, but said softly to Belisand: "Don't you have some pastries in the cabin, can you go and bring them up for Brother Rand to eat?"

"Okay. The little girl nodded and laughed. Then run towards the cabin that leads to the third class.

"Ma'am, I can see what is going on with you, and with all due respect, it doesn't seem to be in a good situation?" said Rand as the little girl's figure vanished.

Lady Sarah tried to speak, but as soon as she spoke, tears began to flow.

"Yes. You can see it, Mr. Rand. Because Belisandia and I were abandoned. ”

"Abandoned?" Rand couldn't help but be stunned.

It was only in Lady Sarah's next account that Rand had a rough idea of what was going on.

The last time Sarah and Belisandre came on the same ship to the Emerald Continent, they weren't just here to play, they were actually here to join the little girl's father, Mr. Hannibal.

Mr. Hannibal was an honest man who worked as a foreman in a local factory, but later due to fierce competition, Mr. Hannibal's factory closed.

He did not find a suitable position in the fierce competition in his homeland, and after putting down his position and becoming an ordinary worker for a while. I can barely support myself, but it is not enough to add a wife and daughter, let alone maintain the previous standard of living.

So Mr. Hannibal had no choice but to look beyond his homeland, but instead of exploring other different planes, he chose to come to the Emerald Continent.

Later, he wrote that he had no worries about living there, and that Lady Sarah and her daughter could come and live together.

That's why the mother and daughter will go to the Emerald Continent, and they will go by boat, and the road will be a trip. Fulfill Belisand's desire to see the sea.

What happened to them when they arrived on the Emerald Continent was not rosy, and Mr. Hannibal was not in the city that never sleeps. It's in the Curtain Wald.

But it wasn't just Hannibal himself who greeted the mother and daughter, but also a woman and her child.

It turns out that Hannibal is looking for an opportunity to make a fortune on the Emerald Continent, but it is not so easy to get rich, and his Asturian citizenship only guarantees that he will not be blackmailed and extorted at will, and has the kingdom as his personal safety, but it does not mean that money will fall from the sky.

He can find something to do. But it's still not that easy to get ahead.

Later, he got into a position under an Asturian trading house, and once had an accident while traveling with a caravan, and encountered an eyeless centaur who dared to attack the team.

As luck would have it, the team was broken up in the attack, and he risked his life to protect one of the young ladies in the group. This young lady turned out to be the niece of the owner of the trading house, who was related to the Asturian consul of Muward.

Then the very old-fashioned young lady fell in love with the man who saved her, and married him, and the owner of the trading company promoted him to the position of manager.

After the marriage, another child was about to be born, and Hannibal let his new wife know that he still had a family.

Of course, this was a troublesome matter, and the young lady could not tolerate it, and Hannibal had to try to persuade her to allow Lady Sarah to bring Belisanda to live with her.

Lady Sarah did not expect to find herself in such a situation, but she thought that she could rely on her husband before she came, and it was unlikely that she would go back.

So they had to live together aggrieved, and Mrs. Sarah was ready to endure the idea of wronging herself.

But the rest of life still did not go well, perhaps Mr. Hannibal enjoyed a happy period of happiness.

But between two women, even if one party is willing to wronged himself, it does not mean that the other party will settle down.

Well, even if Lady Sarah could still endure the condescending attitude towards the young lady, the friction between the children became the fuse.

It is no longer clear how the two children quarreled and quarreled, but Belisand's half-brother did not fight with his little sister, so he only acted like his mother, saying that Belisand and her mother were living on their own family, and the worst thing was that Hannibal did not belong to Lady Sarah and Belisand.

The quarrel between the children turned into a war between the adults, and Mr. Hannibal sided with the other lady and her children at the most critical moment.

Perhaps Mr. Hannibal thinks that this is the only way to do it for the sake of the "big picture", anyway, as he has done every time in the year, and to coax Lady Sarah afterwards.

But this time it may have been a big explosion of accumulation, and Mr. Hannibal gave Belisandia a slap in front of the new lady, which made Lady Sarah leave decisively.

Then, and then it was on this ship that Rand was met.

Lady Sarah wept, completely oblivious to the courage she now had in her storytelling and finally resolutely leaving.

In fact, her impulsiveness had put her and Belisanne in a difficult situation, because she had already disposed of the only property she had in the homeland before she came, which was not much, and Hannibal had taken the most valuable part with him when he came to the Emerald Continent.

And this quarrel and break, of course, when she leaves, she can't take anything away that can be relied on for her future life.

The young lady would not give it, nor would she allow Hannibal to give it, and even Hannibal himself did not want to give, because he knew that if he did not give anything, Lady Sarah would definitely not be able to live, and in the end she would have to come back again.

"I just came out like that, with Belisand, but I don't know what I can do if I go back to home right away, and how I'm going to feed my daughter. Lady Sarah took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, she was a little similar to Rand in the reason why she chose to go back by boat, they both had to go back, but they wanted to be on the road longer.

"Madame, I don't have enough money right now, and if you go back to your homeland, I might be able to help you. Rand sighed, he didn't know what to say, it seemed that this was all he could say.

"Thank you, but I'd love to have a job when I go back. Lady Sarah stopped crying.

Rand thought about it, it didn't seem difficult, if he went back to accept the family's arrangement, it would be a trivial matter to arrange a position, but Lady Sarah was a woman, and the position suitable for her was limited, even if she was hired as his secretary, he had to have a certain administrative ability.

He was about to reassure her when he saw Belisanda running up with a paper bag.

At this moment, the clear weather suddenly changed, and the wind pushed the dark clouds to spread at a super speed, filling the sky.

Lead clouds hung down in front of the Titanic, and from time to time lightning bolts pierced the sky like tree branches.

"Hat, my hat. "The wind blew away Lady Sarah's hat.

Lady Sarah went to grab the hat, but instead of grabbing it, it flew away as if it had grown wings.

Lady Sarah screamed, and the hurricane swept her onto the railing and into Rand's arms.

"Madame, be careful. Rand quickly put his arms around her waist, or she might have thrown herself into the sea.

Belisanda also exclaimed, the bag in her hand was gone, but the person floated outward.

Rand rushed against the wind, grabbed the little girl too, and then put down Lady Sarah, whose face was a little red, and quickly cast a protective energy damage, which was not the best way to deal with the current hurricane, but it could cancel out some of the wind.

The deck was also affected by this sudden strong wind, and one or two people even fell into the sea, and the seamen tried to save people, but in this hurricane environment, the ship did not slow down, and there was no way to rescue them.

"What's going on?" said Lady Sarah, holding one of Rand's arms.

Rand relieved the wind with the effect of a spell that protected against energy damage, and then successfully returned to the entrance of the cabin with the mother and daughter, not daring to stay on the deck any longer.

The Titanic also sounded a siren whistle and a magically amplified announcement, asking those on deck to return to their cabins quickly to avoid danger, and asking the seafarers on deck to follow maritime safety guidelines.

Rand led the two back to the third-class cabin, and instead of returning to his cabin, he was in the cabin of the mother and daughter, because Belisanda was also frightened.

The Titanic braved the storm, it was the third ship in the Olympia class, and it was not supposed to be called that, but the White Star shipyard recently changed owners, and the new owner was from Titania, and the name of the third ship was no longer used to curry favor with the Asturias magnates.

Not only was the ship more luxurious than the previous two, but it was also larger and stronger, but it was a little thin in this rare storm.

Rand had a faint layer of worry in his heart, what was going on? It seemed a little unusual. (To be continued.) )
