Five days later.

After bidding farewell to Reed, the Cangyun continued its journey towards the continent of Veronica. Soon, after a long voyage, everyone tasted the power of the sea.

To put it simply, seasickness.

After a few days of wandering at sea, these guys who left the mainland for the first time all suffered from strong seasickness and vomited all over the sky. In the past few days, almost everyone can only hum in the cabin in a state of exhaustion.

Even Baste, who has always been in excellent spirits, has become a sick cat at this moment, lying pitifully on the bed, meowing without a sound.

There were only two exceptions to this, one was Rutz, the silent Beamon who had adapted to life at sea, according to him, because he had become accustomed to boating when he was an adventurer.

The other person, who is even more surprising, is Rickett. He seems to be pampered, but these days he is like a nobody, eating and drinking, living happier than anyone else, compared to a group of sad guys who are about to die, it is really shocking.

On this day, Raymond managed to overcome some seasickness and left the cabin and walked onto the deck. A fresh sea breeze blew, and his drowsy head was immediately refreshed.

Thinking of the unbearable experience of the past few days, Raymond couldn't help but feel palpitations, compared to the pain of seasickness, now he would really rather go back to the northern wasteland and fight Haken for three hundred rounds.

Of course, this is just a matter of thinking. Raymond walked to the side of the ship, breathing in the oncoming air with the smell of the sea, and looking into the distance.

The weather was excellent, with a blue sky and a gentle wave in the vast expanse of the sea. The sail-filled Cangyun broke through the waves as it rose and fell slightly, moving at full speed, dragging a white scar on the turquoise sea.

Compared to the endless northern wilderness, the sea has a different kind of magnificent beauty. Raymond stared at the surface of the sea in distraction, as if the whole person would be sucked into it. In a trance, he seemed to be back to the time when he was in the northern wilderness, lying in the barren wilderness all afternoon, looking up at the sky.

It's truly an experience like never before, except...

"Gross... Wow!"

Suddenly, Raymond's stomach was turned upside down, and he threw up on the side of the ship.

"Seasick people, it's better not to stare at the sea for a long time, some guys with weak willpower will even jump off. ”

Just as Raymond was vomiting in the dark, a voice came from behind him.

Raymond thumped his stomach a few times to make sure that nothing would pour out again, then he turned around and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, now I know." ”

Rickett walked over to Raymond, put his hands on the side of the boat, and took a deep breath: "Ah, what a nostalgic smell, I thought that I would never breathe the sea breeze again." ”

"Have you ever been to sea before?" asked Raymond. This guy really isn't on a sea boat for the first time.

Rikkart nodded, "Yes, I remember the first time I crossed the sea by boat, I almost lost my life." You're already very adaptable. ”

"What, crossing the sea?" Raymond was taken aback: "Could it be that you..."

"That's right, I've been to Veronica once. Rickett turned his head and said calmly, "More precisely, I grew up there." ”

"You... Are you Veronica?"

Rickett shook his head, "No, I'm just like you, a Mojna. ”

"How did you grow up in Veronica?"

Rickett didn't answer, he smiled: "Remember that night in the valley, we reported each other's identities? Actually, I didn't tell the truth, I used to be a nobleman. ”

Without waiting for Raymond to speak, he added, "Have you ever heard of a territory called Rameau?"

Raymond shook his head.

Rickett was not surprised, he sighed: "Yes, in the past 20 years, I'm afraid that even the lord of Bahrain who was the first to be forgotten is about to be forgotten, how can anyone remember this territory." ”

"The Ramo Territory used to be one of the most powerful territories in the Dinar Kingdom, and the last lord, Kifa, was my grandfather. It's just that it was 20 years ago. ”

Unexpectedly, Rickett had such a background, Raymond couldn't help but say, "What happened?"

"Twenty years ago, my grandfather was accused of killing an orc envoy attending the royal capital celebration, and was sentenced to be hanged. After his death, the lands that my family had inherited from generation to generation were also confiscated by the king, and from then on, there was no longer a domain of Ramo in Dinar. ”

"That's when you went to Veronica?"

Rikkis nodded, "Yes, I was just a kid when the territory fell. Because of my grandfather's felonies, my family was no longer able to establish themselves in their homeland, so my parents used the last remaining fortune to flee to the kingdom of Dirk in Veronica, where I grew up and completed my studies. ”

Raymond was curious: "Then why did you go back to Dinard?"

Rickett let out a long sigh of relief, "Originally, we could have lived incognito and lived a peaceful life in Veronica. However, the parents couldn't accept this change, and they became depressed, and both died of illness soon after. After their deaths, I followed my parents' wishes and returned to Dinar in order to one day regain the glory of my family. ”

Speaking of this, Rickett shook his head and smiled: "But soon, I realized that this was really an unattainable dream. From a nobleman to a commoner, it only takes a letter of order from the king, but it is more difficult to change from a commoner to a nobleman than to ascend to the sky. Hahaha... It's hard to imagine that I ever had such a stupid idea. ”

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Raymond's experience of turning from a prince to an ordinary person is much more tortuous than the bitter history of Rickett's family. But unlike the stubborn Rickett, Raymond never felt lost, because for him, the orc prince was just a heavy burden, far from being at ease as he is now.

Looking at Rickett, who looked like a dead heart, Raymond was about to find some words of comfort, when suddenly a gloomy voice came: "What is there to complain about, at least you still have a once glorious family." If I had been like you, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. ”

"Freddy?" Raymond and Rickett looked at the visitor in surprise.

After the torture of seasickness these days, Freddie's already pale face was even more pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staggering towards this side.

"What did you just say?" asked Rickett.

Freddie looked at him mockingly, "I mean, it's ridiculous that you've got something that a lot of people dream of, and you're still there feeling sorry for yourself." ”

Rickett was enraged by his contemptuous attitude: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean, my family has been in ruin for 20 years, bastard!"

Freddie said coldly: "A person who was once a nobleman and a person who has been a commoner for generations, in the eyes of those high-ranking guys, is already a huge difference in itself. ”

"But I—" Rickett was speechless.

Freddie's eyes lit up with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My father runs a tavern called 'Big Daisy' in the royal capital, and although he has a little money, in the eyes of those nobles, he is just an inferior person. My only wish since I was a child was to become a nobleman, and in order to achieve it, I never stopped working hard, even at the expense of doing any dirty deeds. ”

"After becoming a high-ranking official of 'Hidden Thunder', I went crazy to investigate my family tree, hoping to find a relative who was related to the nobility even in the most remote bloodline, but unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking. Therefore, in the eyes of those guys, I will always be a lowly person. ”

Speaking of this, Freddie pointed at Rickett and said angrily: "So, you coward who has not even done the most minimal effort, who has the right to complain about the injustice of fate? If you really want to restore the honor of the family, then climb up at all costs, even if your hands are covered with filth." But look at you, there are countless people's eyes, what have you done?"

"You'd better save it, hairy boy. ”

The last sentence, Freddie uttered in an extremely contemptuous tone, and Rickett was irritated to the point of red-facedness. He gasped for breath and glared fiercely at the man with a poisonous tongue, as if he was about to pounce on him immediately.

Regarding the quarrel between the two, Raymond always just watched from the sidelines and did not say a word. For him, who grew up in the royal family, this is not the first time he has seen someone express a strong ** for power, so he knows very well that this ** is an indispensable spiritual feed for some people, and most of them have excellent talents.

For example, the two in front of you...

At this time, I saw Rickett shake his head and said, "No, I will never agree with your theory." An unprincipled man is no different from a beast, and even if I have to climb up, I will follow my own principles. ”

This time Freddie didn't contradict him, just a disdainful sneer.

No, it seems, these two people are still different after all.

In order to ease the atmosphere, at the same time, it is also because of the curiosity generated by the fact that he is from the orc empire. Raymond said, "Okay, stop arguing. I just heard you say that your grandfather was executed because he was accused of killing the orc messenger, what happened?"

Without waiting for Rickett to speak, Freddy said: "I have also heard about this, 20 years ago, at the royal capital celebration, the orc messenger was accidentally killed, because the other party's status is noble, so there was a big turmoil. In the end, the king announced that the murderer was the lord of Rameau, Kifah, and quickly put him to death, which appeased the displeasure of the orcs. ”

As he spoke, he muttered, "However, I have read some relevant materials, and it is very strange that it is still unknown how the orc envoy died, and what the motive of Lord Ramo was. I think that hapless guy may have been made a scapegoat. ”

Although Freddie's words insulted the ancestors, Rickett no longer cared about him. He said bitterly: "I think so too, because there are too many doubts about that matter." But who cares now?"

Freddie snorted coldly: "Hmph, noble..."

Hearing the two of them say this, Raymond couldn't help but become more and more curious: "By the way, who is the dead orc envoy who would let the king use a lord as a scapegoat." ”

"Hmm... I remember mentioning it in the information, because there were so many big things happening at the royal capital celebration that year. For example, the world-famous Lord of Lovell was also made an earl at that ceremony, and thus began to make his fortune. Freddie tapped his forehead lightly and recalled.

"I remember that the envoy who was killed seemed to be the prince of the werewolf clan, the son of Verona, the werewolf patriarch at the time. ”

"Verona?" Raymond was stunned.

However, before Raymond could show enough surprise, Rickett added: "There seems to be another envoy at that time, well... By the way, I remembered, it was the princess of the Beamon tribe, who is now the queen of the Orc Empire, Armada. When my grandfather was sentenced to be hanged, she was there to watch. ”

"What!?" Raymond finally exclaimed.

Suddenly, a feeling of incomparably absurdity welled up in his heart, this... Can this be called a coincidence of fate?

"What's wrong?" Raymond's surprise reaction surprised Freddie and Rickett.

"No, it's nothing, I just didn't expect the queen of the orcs to have also been to the royal capital. Raymond hurriedly disguised,

The two of them didn't have him, and Freddie was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a long voice shouting from overhead: "Land-land!"

At the lookout post at the top of the mast, a water pointed ahead and shouted hoarsely.

Raymond and the three turned their heads in response, and sure enough, they saw that from the distant horizon, a black shadow representing the land was gradually emerging.

It's finally here.

"Veronica Continent. Freddie put his hand on the side of the ship and gritted his teeth, "There, I must be a damn nobleman!"

Rickett's eyes also shot a complicated look: "Father, mother, I'm back again." I hope that on this land, I can regain the glory of my family. ”

Unlike the two who had their own thoughts, looking at the gradually growing land, Raymond felt a lot of pride in his heart: "Since you have made up your mind, let's give it a go." ”

At this moment, a big wave hit, and the Cangyun shook a little.

Raymond and Freddy's faces darkened at the same time, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both fell to the side of the boat, and vomited loudly.

"Well, until then, let me set foot on land alive..."
