"Whew!" In the dark cabin, the candle flame on the table swayed gently with the slightly bumpy ship.

Lance gently placed a thin book back into the small box.

"Getting started with the Abyssal Language, I've got it done. Lance rubbed his temples, which he had a lot of free time these days on the ship, so he had intensified his study of the basics, and the language aspect was the most important thing to make up.

It had been seven days since the Queen Lisa sailed out of the port of Riverrun. During these seven days, everything was very calm. Lance spends most of his time quietly studying and exercising in the cabin, so he has little to do with the others. Even for meals, sailors brought him to his room separately.

This shows that although the old butler ordered him a position on a cargo ship, the shipping fee paid to Jason must not be low.

As for the cousins who lived in the two rooms opposite him, Lance had never seen each other much, and had always been in a state where the well water did not interfere with the river water. This is Lance's favorite rhythm of life.

And the weather has been sunny, in Captain Jason's words, the weather has been too good these days, and the wind has been in their favor. At this rate, they will be able to reach the docks of the northern metropolis of Winterhaven in a week at most.

......

"Fox, have you written down all the books I asked you to scan in the first place?" Lance asked mentally as he stood up and moved his muscles.

"The books you ordered to be scanned have been written down in different categories. The fox quickly replied, "If you want to open these profiles, you just need to check the profile name." ”

After that, Lance's right eye immediately flashed a series of data names:

[Spirit Fox Swordsmanship], [White Fang Swordsmanship (Disabled)], [Abyssal Language Introduction], [Abyssal Language Advanced], [Abyssal Language Refinement], [Abyssal Language Master]......

Looking at these materials, Lance couldn't help but smile a little. When he was still studying in the Moonlight Tower, Lance asked Amman from time to time to borrow some precious magic books to take a look, and although Amman didn't know what Lance's idea was, he was basically allowed to borrow them.

Lance's so-called borrowing, of course, is just a casual glance, and then let the fox record it in different categories, so that he can read it at any time when he wants to read it.

Who knew that these actions of Lu Dao at that time played a very big role. After all, after the Moonlight Tower closed, Lance couldn't borrow these books.

Amman didn't have a lot of magic books, about twenty or thirty of them, and most of them were in the fox's inventory.

"At least I can learn and master the abyssal language family. ”

Lance twisted his neck, his body was prone to poor blood circulation due to long hours of reading and meditating. He thought about it, anyway, he had already finished the first part of the Abyss Language, and it would be good to relax a little.

So he pushed open the door and prepared to go out to the deck to blow the sea breeze.

The ships of this world are not very fast, and the Queen Lisa is similar in structure to the 16th-century three-masted schooners of Reims, relying on the wind to operate.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and since the boats were moving along the coastline from south to north, the sun was on the left hand side of Reims.

As soon as he stepped onto the deck, he heard a sweet voice say unhappily: "Lost again! Madil, you can't let me!"

Lance turned his head in surprise to find the pair of cousins from the City Lord's Mansion of Riverrun playing chess, and several idle sailors were curiously gathered there to watch them fight.

The person who spoke was none other than Vera, who was said to be the youngest daughter of the Lord of Riverrun.

Madil smiled, put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said triumphantly: "Little Vera, your cousin and I are the champions of the [Rubik's Cube Chess] competition in Riverrun. If you win easily, wouldn't you be better than everyone else in Riverrun?"

Vera snorted, furrowed her cute eyebrows, and said unhappily, "Don't play!"

With that, the girl stood up and walked to the other side of the deck, right next to Lance.

Madil seemed to be in a good mood, and after calling Vera a few times without getting a reply, he actually invited a sailor he usually looked down on to play chess with him.

The sailors were immediately flattered, and several of them shoved and pushed a clever looking guy to sit in Vera's place.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but snort heavily.

Lance was amused in his heart, this Madir didn't recognize his six relatives when he played chess, and even his cousin refused to let go of the water.

He had also heard of this kind of Rubik's Cube chess, which was said to be a very popular game among the nobles of Rushing City, and the rules were not complicated, but it was difficult to play for a while.

Those sailors were all hard-working people who grew up in the slums, and they had never seen such a game that only nobles could afford. Under Madil's explanation, they hurriedly learned the rules of the game and went into battle shirtless, but they were naturally killed by their eldest cousin and lost their armor and were embarrassed.

"Hey, lost again!" The sailor shook his head and sighed and stood up.

Madir is becoming more and more courageous, as if it is a very fun thing for him to abuse vegetables. One sailor was defeated, and the other immediately made up for it.

In just ten minutes, those four or five sailors were all abused, and none of them could last ten rounds.

On the deck, more and more sailors gathered and watched the game with relish.

......

"I heard Captain Jason say you're Mr. Reims, aren't you?"

On the other side of the deck, the girl Vera took the initiative to talk to Lance.

Lance leaned back against the railing and nodded slightly, "Hello, Miss Vera. ”

Vera blushed, and immediately plucked up her courage and asked, "Then do you know how to play Rubik's Cube?"

Lance smiled and shook his head, "We're in the countryside, but we don't have this kind of game. ”

The girl was a little disappointed, she watched Madil and the others kill with joy, and said with some hatred: "My cousin is so annoying! He refused to give me even a plate! ”

Lance smiled dumbly, but he didn't want to get involved, and immediately said, "Obviously, I don't have that ability. It's windy on the deck, and it's not good to stand for a long time. I advise you not to stand for too long. ”

With that, he took a step back to the cabin.

Vera was stunned for a moment, Lance's attitude gave her a very strange feeling - in her impression, there was no man who could leave himself here so indifferently after knowing his identity!

"This guy is also a weirdo. The girl watched Lance's back disappear from the deck, revealing a look of curiosity.

......

The next day, when Lance went to the deck again to breathe, he was shocked to find that his eldest cousin's Rubik's Cube seemed to have become popular throughout the ship.

They set up a table on the deck, and many sailors who had nothing to do were watching. The old god Madir sat on one side of the ground, and on the other side sat the sailor who challenged.

Lance inquired and learned that Madil was bored and had made playing chess his only pastime on board. And unlike yesterday, starting this morning, sailors who want to play Rubik's Cube chess with their big cousin must follow suit.

In other words, it's already gambling.

The cost of each challenge was five small gold coins, which was undoubtedly a great asset for the poor sailors. But if Madir loses, he will lose to the challenger for a full hundred small gold coins. This immediately stimulated the nerves of the sailors, and the number of people who signed up for the challenge immediately increased.

"From the morning until now, Mr. Madir has won a full sixteen men, and our sailors are not rich, and if this continues, the ones who have lost will have to borrow money to continue the challenge. An old sailor explained to Lance with some helplessness, "Although Captain Jason has always ordered the ban, there have been gambling on ships in the past, but it is definitely not such an exaggeration. ”

"This time, I look at those boys, I'm afraid they're going to lose all their pants. ”

The sane old sailor sighed, and turned to his business.

Lance frowned, watching Madir continue to kill in all directions, and his heart suddenly became a little unhappy.

Who knew that at this time, Xu was winning and winning the hand cramped, and no other sailors made up for it for a while. Madir stretched his waist and actually smiled at Lance: "Mr. Lance, I heard that you are also a nobleman in Riverrun, why don't you come and have a game?"

Vera, who was sitting on the side basking in the sun and reading a book, immediately frowned and said, "Madil, you have been playing for so long and winning so much money, don't you still stop? If you let your father know the truth, I'm afraid you won't want to touch the Rubik's Cube in the future!"

Madil immediately smiled flatteringly: "Little Vera, it's a big deal that I'll take you to Winterhaven to buy fun things after I get ashore! Winterbolt is my territory, don't you want me to take you to have fun for a while?"

Vera snorted and didn't continue to speak.

"Hey, Mr. Lance, you don't know how to play, do you?" Madil continued to look at Lance and asked with some malice, "I heard that you country nobles are similar to ordinary commoners, and your daily entertainment activities are very limited......"

"By the way, this is probably the first time you've heard of such a thing, right?"

Lance walked over, looked at Madil seriously, and said, "I really don't know how to play Rubik's Cube. ”

The eldest cousin's eyes immediately showed a thick look of disdain.

"Miss Vera, if you don't mind, can you explain the rules to me?" said Lance.

"Huh?" Vera on the side suddenly showed a surprised look.

"I want to challenge Mr. Madier. With that, Lance placed five delicate little gold coins on the table.

The sailors who had just wanted to disperse were immediately shocked when they heard this, and gathered again.
