East Zone, Shipping Terminal.

The shipping terminal, known as the lifeblood of Halma's economy, has dozens of cargo ships docked on the shore alone.

One of the most conspicuous is a huge cruise ship with a length of 80 meters.

The towering hull of the ship, reflecting the intoxicating metallic luster in the sun, and the aristocratic girls who stop to chat or walk around in Class A are all attracting people's attention.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove to the dock, and the two men stepped down from it.

"The cruise ship, said to be in the name of the Grand Duke of Palmer, bears his last name, and temporarily passes by Halma for resupply. Tonali said, pointing to the three huge cruise ships.

"Grand Duke Palmer?" A glint flashed in Andu's eyes, and he said lightly, "Is that going to take a detour through the Forbidden Mountains and go to the Sea of Chia?"

The Forbidden Mountains lie between the two major empires of the continent, Aaron and Bahas, and the rugged mountains that stretch endlessly over the beasts form a natural strategic barrier, and it is said that the descendants of the Giants remain in them.

The Forbidden Mountains stretched from north to south as far as the Mainland's neutrality, and the Borderlands stopped expanding.

The Borderlands, the freest and most egalitarian territory of Acmund, bordered by Aaron, Bahas, and the Holy Duchy, among them is the Albert Canal, the largest canal in Akmund built by the Aaronic Empire.

The world's greatest human wonder canal, which began in the capital of the Aaronic Empire and eventually ended in the Sea of Hia.

Tonali smiled: "I heard that this is the case, but I don't know the specifics. ”

Andu nodded, after all, he was just passing by, and he was going to drive away in a few days, and it didn't have much to do with him.

"Let's go, go up and have fun. Tonali said with gusto.

"Aren't you here to gamble?" Andu looked at Tonali and wondered, "Go to the cruise ship to gamble?"

"yes, I just got back yesterday and heard that Halma's most popular thing lately is to go and bet two on the Palmer!" Tonali's eyes were full of excitement.

"How much money did you bring?" Andu asked suddenly.

"Not much, more than five hundred silver dollars. Tonali said casually, pointing to himself as he spoke, "That's my living expenses for three months." ”

Andu's face darkened when he heard this, and under the pull of his friends, he reluctantly boarded this luxury cruise ship.

In the distance, on a cargo ship, bald Mario chews tobacco in his mouth, occasionally observing the crowd on the Palmer cruise ship.

"Boss, do you have any action today?" asked a young man in blue as he put away the cable and stepped forward.

"Wait, isn't the connector here yet?" said Mario as he retracted his gaze and turned to the young man.

"No, the brother we arranged has been waiting for a day, and we haven't seen a single shadow. The young man said decisively.

"Well, I see, just wait. Mario said.

When the young man in blue was far away, he looked at the Palmer cruise ship again.

In addition to the local nobles on the deck of this cruise ship under the name of the Grand Duke, there are many tourists on the deck who are carrying tourists at zero hours during the voyage, but it is not easy to board this cruise ship.

Just as Mario's eyes flickered, a dazzling light flashed, and Mario's eyes immediately turned white.

When he looked again, the deck was close to the bow of the ship, and a figure was already standing there at some point.

Because the distance was too far, Mario couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but before he could withdraw his gaze, the next second, the figure raised his right hand.

In that hand, a long sword was faintly visible, and as he moved, a purple flame burned silently on the long sword, which was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Just when Mario had a bad thought in his heart, the long sword burning with purple flames suddenly slashed through the sky, and the whistling and enchanting purple flames on the sword actually broke away from the sword body and went straight to Mario.

Mario tries to escape, but finds himself covered in tremendous pressure, and every part of his body seems to be under a spell, and he can't move!

"Whoa!!"

The purple flame accurately bombarded a few meters in front of the cargo ship where Mario was, and exploded a bowl-shaped gap with a diameter of seven or eight meters wide on the water surface, splashing a huge splash more than ten meters high.

The gap was quickly filled by nearby seawater, and the water splashed down on the crew, wetting their winter coats.

Mario, who bears the brunt of the attack, is particularly miserable, as if he has just been fished out of the water, and the sea water flows everywhere along his coat.

The icy waters were far less cold than the cold inside, and Mario felt his limbs gradually returning, but his body did not move.

"Boss!?" the young man in blue ran over and said nervously, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm......" Mario replied in a nasal voice, the blurred figure long since disappeared into Class A, in the moment when the water splashed.

Retracting his peeping gaze, Mario entered the cabin without looking back.

......

Inside the glittering hull, the large duplex-shaped hall is three stories high, and in the center is a classical orchestra playing famous imperial music.

Even though it's not lunchtime, the hall is still filled with a large number of waiters in white shirts, carrying trays of delicious food and various drinks and wines, always showing up at the most appropriate time and place to deliver to the guests who need it.

The aristocratic maidens and the noblewomen formed two very different circles, either in groups and twos, or alone with a copy of the Empire's latest best-selling novel, enjoying the beautiful morning to the sound of music.

Gentlemen, on the other hand, don't stay long before leaving for the smoking room or to the nearby Parachuse, commonly known as the casino.

"What a luxury!" Andu sighed subconsciously, and stomped his feet after speaking, feeling the feeling of being on a boat.

There is no feeling of shaking on the water under your feet...... Andu, who got the feedback, was a little skeptical that he was on the boat.

It was his first time on a boat in reality!

The first time he came to this world to get close to such a lofty environment, it was on a boat that he had never been on before, and Andu was like a dirt bun from the countryside, and he was a little curious about everything.

No matter how real the game is, you know that it is fake, how can you see it spectacularly...... Although the ones that have been seen may not be fake...... Andu thought to himself with relief.

"Can you not look like this?" Tonali looked at Andu in embarrassment, and at this time, in addition to Tonali, most of the tourists on the ship also cast a mocking look.

If it weren't for the priest's robes on Andu's body, some of the bold ladies might have laughed out loud......

Andu watched everyone's reactions and showed his signature smile.

"The first time, it was inevitable that there would be some excitement. ”

"Alright, I didn't bring you here to show people a joke. Tonali sighed and pulled Andu through the hall quickly.

With many eyes in the hall, Anduand and Tonali finally arrived at the Paradise next door and saw a completely different atmosphere.

Even the noble gentlemen seem to release their bestiality here, and the sound of cursing, laughter, questioning, and even crying is the most normal scene here.

Tonali tugged at Andu's sleeve and walked to a card table, just in time to find a spot and did it.

The people around only glanced at the two of them slightly, and immediately withdrew their gaze.

On this ship, not a single guest is ordinary, and what is there for a priest to gamble money?

"The church's discipline team doesn't have the ability to find out about the Palmer, don't worry. Tonali leaned over and whispered to Andu.

"It's okay, you play, I don't understand. Andu laughed.

Tonali gave him a reassuring gesture.

Then, the game began.

Andu didn't remember how he got out of the Paradise, and by the time the two of them came out, it was already dark.

"How much money do you have?" asked Andu, dumbfounded.

"I haven't counted......," Tonali Mune said.

"Let's go. Andu patted him on the shoulder and returned to the hall again.

This time it was no longer as eye-catching as it had been in the morning, after all, few people could take it all day in the hall, but it still attracted some people's attention.

Neither of them was in the mood to care about this at this time, and Tonali went to the bow of the ship, and beckoned the servant to report to Elizabeth, and asked if the maiden would like to come.

Andu, on the other hand, came to the second half of the cruise, where the tourists lived.

Standing at the front desk at the entrance of the guest room, Andu pinched his arm a little illusoryly.

"Is there anything you need, sir?" asked the beautiful blonde receptionist.

"Do you have a guest room?" asked Andu.

"Yes, do you need an inside room or an outside room?" said the beautiful receptionist.

"Outside. Andu thought for a moment.

The inner guest room is the inner cabin, there are no windows and only the ventilation device, and the outside is by the sea, and there are windows that can be opened to see the sea.

"Okay, we have a total of three exterior rooms here, the higher the floor, the more expensive the price, may I ask which one you need?"

"The most expensive. Andu said subconsciously.

"Okay, wait a minute. The blonde beauty showed a charming smile at the front desk and quickly helped Andu register.

"The time is from today to the next morning, if you need to check out early or overtime, you can register with me. The beautiful receptionist looked at Andu and said enthusiastically.

"Please take your access card, if it is lost, please come to me as soon as possible to record, in case there is a loss of items. ”

Hand-in-hand took the access card, Andu ignored the beautiful woman's enthusiastic gaze, and generously paid more than 20 silver dollars for the room.

In the disappointed eyes of the beauty, Andu returned to his place today.

A spacious single room of more than 30 square meters, all the equipment should be available, in addition to these, the most attractive thing is the sea view outside the window.

The huge enchanted crystal glass replaces one-third of the seaside wall, allowing Andu to have a complete view of the sea outside the ship.

Night is about to fall, and the afterglow of the setting sun appears on the silent sea level, full of tranquility.

Andu sat on the bed, took out the money in his arms and threw it on the bed, his mind was a little dazed.

"How did you win so much?"

Scattered on the sheets were a large number of silver dollar bills, as calm as the sea outside the window......
