9. Holidays (16)

Most of the people's impression of ocean voyages is that of cramped, suffocating, crowded, and damp cabins, full of vomit, excrement, and the body odor mixed with humans and animals, and the cries of women and children are resounded with the moans and vomiting of seasickness.

The third-class image has nothing to do with the Zeppelin, and the silver-white cigar-shaped giant ship in the air moves straight along the southern course, like a giant whale in the sea, leisurely parting from the sea of clouds, and a large group of albatross is surrounded by the crystallization of the magic industry, heading towards the resort of V.E. - Lanlan Island, which is developed and operated by V.E.

As the diamond in the crown of the Elves' cutting-edge technology and heavy industry, the Zeppelin is second to none in terms of power and endurance, as well as comfort and entertainment.

Not to mention those sail-powered ships, even compared to the ocean-going cruise ships built at the beginning of the century on Earth, the Zeppelin is also superior. It is not too much to say that this is an entertainment city and a gold cave suspended at an altitude of 3,000 meters in the form of semi-autonomous floating.

In addition to the thermal pool, there is a bowling alley, sauna, bar, cafΓ©, foot massage, billiards room, ballroom, salon social room, reading room, gallery, barber parlor, small opera house, boxing ring, and least ...... Casino.

In a safe and comfortable flight, passengers can choose their favorite entertainment to enrich the long journey, how can there be no excitement without spending a lot of money, and the temptation to get rich overnight?

Roulette, blackjack, stud, baccarat...... Every table is filled with colorful chips, and bejeweled men and women look nervously or expectantly at the dice cups, roulette wheels, and cards. Sighs and exclamations come and go, the people who buy chips are not getting shorter, the smiling waiter holds the tray and shuttles through the jungle of the wealthy and nobles, and all kinds of drinks make people relax their nerves, and then go to the table to fight happily.

As the Zeppelin was sailing on the high seas, the gambling laws of various countries were out of reach, and for some tacit reason, the operator did not set a limit on bets, so the amount of money flowing around the tables was frighteningly high and no one cared about. Nor is there a man who is uninterested in asking the well-dressed bureaucrats. How can an income that is impossible to earn in a lifetime be so easily put in your pocket?

Not a single student of the National Academy of Magic was visible in the casino, and the casino ordered that minors under the age of 18 should not enter, and these children were able to stay away from the miasma of power-for-money trading. But that doesn't mean they don't have fun. Teenagers and girls can be seen everywhere in bowling alleys and billiard rooms. The cuckoo machines, slot machines, and pachinko machines for underage passengers are surrounded by excited students.

"Why don't you have a handful?"

Bernard licked his lips. He took a small steel ball from the waiter's hand and put a few clicks of electricity at the beautiful sister, who just squinted. Maintain a business smile.

"Gambling is forbidden in my house. ”

Roland spread his hands and put on a "no way" expression.

Not to mention Li Lin's strict tutoring in this regard, Alfheim's law does not allow such a thing.

Illegal gambling is a maximum of three years in prison, but those who lure or instigate underage elves into casinos must have the consciousness of staying in prison until they rot.

In addition, if you sell stimulants and hallucinogens to underage elves, you don't even need to go to jail if you have an improper relationship, and you will be issued with 7.92mm steel-core peanuts for headshots......

Of course, this draconian law is limited to the administration of Alfheim, and humanity is unaware of its existence, nor of the pragmatist duplicity of the elven camp – banning their own children from gambling and luring human children to gamble – to make money, and by the way, to inculcate the incorrect culture into the next generation of mankind.

"You're really strict with your family. ”

Feeling a sigh of emotion, as if remembering something, Bernard leaned in and whispered:

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be in good spirits, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Uh...... It's probably the first time I've traveled by boat, so I'm a little uncomfortable, right?"

"But when I look this way all the time, I look good. ”

"I don't know ...... this."

"The eyes seemed a little vicious...... But there seems to be something else that I don't understand. ”

"That's if you're mistaken. ”

Roland secretly wiped a cold sweat, and the chill on his back couldn't stop coming up.

Before he was ready to grease the soles of his feet, Bernard delivered the decisive blow.

"Could it be that I have a crush on you?"

"How could it be. ”

Smiling calmly and bitterly, he couldn't see that his heart was almost stopping, and Roland laughed at himself:

"Your Highness looks at me the most unpleasant on weekdays. ”

"It's strange to say that's true......"

Although he wanted to cover his forehead and ask Bernard not to continue to explore, Roland finally didn't do that, and under the urging of a chill behind him, he quickly used "something" as an excuse to leave Bernard who was fighting hard with the pachinko machine and walked out of the entertainment area.

"It's just too bad. ”

Walking through the sun-drenched sightseeing deck area, holding the glass with one hand, Roland let out a gloomy moan.

Lonely Men and Widows –

Lightly untie Luo shirt -

Skin-to-skin blind date –

The woman hid her face and came outβ€”

Negative words point together to the label of "sex offender", and Roland, who has guarded his virginity so far and has not become a reserve for sex offenders in the slightest, almost rolls on the deck with his head in his hands.

Originally, it was just a spur of the moment...... There seems to be some problems with this statement, in short, I just can't get used to it, and I said a few words of my feelings to Minerva, but I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big, and I haven't lost my anger until now. Since breakfast time, those emerald green eyes have been staring at him, making his back flutter for most of the day, and now even Bernard is beginning to wonder about the relationship between him and Minerva!

This is no joke! If "Roland and His Highness Minerva, who was only dressed in pajamas, spent several hours together in a small dark room with no lights on, and finally His Highness Minerva hid his face and burst into tears"β€”this kind of rumor that makes people reverie infinitely spread, it will really be all over.

The contemptuous glances from his classmates, as well as all sorts of ear-biting gossip - these alone were enough for him to die mentally once, and if the rumors were further exaggerated, the 128mm chariot cannon and knight's sword would definitely kill him physically......

"Or ...... Let's apologize first. ”

Although I don't think I've said anything wrong, it's a bit unreasonable to make a girl cry. Even if it is to keep things from getting worse, it is necessary to reconcile with Minerva first.

As for how to deal with their relationship in the future, Roland can only postpone it for the time being.

Having made up his mind, Roland endured the grumbling of "why did you do such a thing", turned and walked towards Minerva, 20 meters away, bearing the cold and fiery eyes, considering the opening line, there was a tremor on the earth-like deck under his feet, and a few seconds later, the dull sound of an empty iron bucket being flattened in an instant was attached to the cabin, shaking the air in the cloister and entering people's ears.

The tremor and muffled sound was so slight that the people in the cabin couldn't even feel it, but Roland's face, who had experienced similar phenomena many times, changed dramatically, and there was only one situation that could be associated with these scenes.

- There was an explosion outside the cabin. (To be continued......)

PS: There are still a few things that I feel dissatisfied with the next time.,Need to modify.,So it's postponed tomorrow morning.,I'm sorry.
