Chapter 115 The Hate of the Long Song
My lord, Kirishima is just ahead!
A few hours later, almost at dusk, Chen Gou, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw a huge silhouette gradually appearing on the sea level in front of him from a distance.
Kirishima is worthy of its name. The whole island is shrouded in a top-down mist, misty and full of mystery, which also makes people feel a kind of fear in the face of the unknown.
As soon as the ship docked, a gorgeously dressed young man came on board with a dozen entourages to greet him.
Locke, the son of the Lord of Fog City, was ordered by his father to meet Lord Abyss Knight. His father was unable to come in person because of his illness. I hope you will forgive me.
When the young man saw Chen Gou on the deck, he greeted him sternly and politely, and he couldn't find any faults.
Chen Gou didn't care about this at first, and nodded with a smile, You don't have to be so polite. I'm the Lord of Huadao. Speaking of which, we're still neighbors. You're a few years older than me. You can just call me by my name from now on.
Don't dare, at least not in public places. The red-haired and blue-eyed Locke smiled, his expression obviously relaxed, and he was afraid that the Knights sent them a knight with a weird personality and a bad voice.
My lord, we have already arranged the accommodation. The best guest room in the City Lord's Mansion is equipped with the best facilities including the maids. Would you like to take a bath and rest for a while, and then wait for the dinner to start?
This is the local practice of entertaining the Knights. Regardless of whether the Knights need it or not, they must make the most comprehensive arrangements.
Otherwise, if some knights are dissatisfied, it will be a very big trouble for these little lords.
The Knights of the Abyss were better. If it was the Knights of Judgment where the children of aristocratic families gathered together, there would be few people to talk to.
Forget about the dinner, I'm not here for fun.
Chen Gou waved his hand, and pondered: Nonan, a member of our Changge team who died, has a younger brother named Norton. Do you know where he lives?
Norton? Locke repeated the name, puzzled.
A middle-aged man dressed as a butler behind him whispered, Master, I know, but...
But what? Locke said dissatisfied, Speak up when you have something to say, don't dawdle.
The butler looked at Chen Gou and said helplessly, Your Excellency, you'll know after you've seen it.
Chen Gou frowned immediately, usually this must be a bad day, otherwise there is no need to hesitate.
But Chen Gou didn't say anything, and motioned for the butler to lead the way.
After the group got off the boat, Chen Gou only left the housekeeper and Locke with him, and the rest went back directly.
During the mission, he didn't like the feeling of a group of people following him.
The streets of Wucheng are full of ancient atmosphere, and many buildings are built grandly, which is the standard of a big city. It can be seen that it was once prosperous before, but it is obviously declining now.
It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it's much better than Huadao.
Under the guidance of the butler, Chen Gou came to a wide street and walked towards a very stately house, which was obviously a place where rich and powerful people lived.
But under the relatively prosperous appearance, there is also hidden decline and poverty.
Stray dogs were rummaging through the rubbish in the corner, and the mangy beggar moaned innocently while scrutinizing the passing crowd.
In front of a house at the end of the street, a group of people gathered there.
In the middle of the crowd was a scrawny young man, who looked as decadent as an old man in his thirteen or fourteen years old, with disheveled and haggard hair messier than a chicken coop, kneeling on the ground begging a man with a big belly.
Butler Jimmy, please add more. Half of my ancestral house of the Nuo family has more than a dozen rooms in such a large place. How could it be worth thirty crystal coins?
Master Norton, what you said is wrong. I have already offered the highest price in the entire Fog City. If you don't believe me, you can ask, who else can offer a higher price than this?
The potbellied Jimmy glanced around, and everyone couldn't help looking away when they made eye contact with him, not daring to look at each other, let alone offer a higher price.
In fact, even if Kirishima were to decline, a mansion with more than a dozen rooms would definitely cost far more than thirty crystal coins.
But the reason why no one dared to bid was because Jimmy's master had a knight of the Judgment Knights. His family clearly wanted to buy and sell by force, so who would dare to come forward?
The young Norton saw the indifferent expressions of the people around him, even showing disgust and gloating, so he knew that no one would help him.
Then there was a sudden pain like Ling Chi on his face, and all the tears and snot came down all at once, and then he crawled up in front of Jimmy with hands and feet, kowtowed and begged: Jimmy Butler, please... please give me ten more Jingbi, just ten, I promise... I promise I will never look for you again, just the last ten!
Why!
With a big belly, Jimmy sighed pretendingly: Master Norton, after all, your family was once an upper-class family in Kirishima, and your sister was once an abyss knight. How could you degenerate into such a waste? I also count Watching you grow up, I really feel worthless for your sister.
No! I'm not trash! I can't shame my sister...
The young Norton struggled suddenly, and violent struggle flashed in his eyes.
But soon he begged with tears and snot running down his nose: I can't do it, please give me another ten crystal coins, or just give me a dose of phantom soul powder, I really can't do it...
While speaking, his fingers kept scratching and scratching all over his body, and soon there were bloodstains everywhere, but he ignored it, as if he had to turn all the flesh and blood over to feel comfortable.
Hey! This kid is completely useless.
There are not many awakened phantom soul fans who can handle it, let alone an ordinary child.
The Nuo family is too miserable. The most outstanding daughter died in battle, and the well-behaved and sensible son was also framed by someone to become addicted to drugs. Not only did they lose their family property, but the aunt who raised them also died of illness...
It can't be helped. Four members of the Changge team including Nuonan died in the battle. I heard that there was another captain who gave up on himself and became a living dead. As long as there is still one who can take care of things, Norton will not become like this. .”
The onlookers couldn't help sighing, feeling heartbroken for what happened to the Nuo family, but there was nothing they could do.
The grievances between the Nuo family and the Warren family next door have a long history and can be traced back to the previous generation.
Now Nuonan died in battle, the Nuo family lost their mainstay, and the Warren family was in full swing. Who would dare to touch this bad luck?
Jimmy, the housekeeper of the Warren family, became more and more complacent when he saw everyone around him submissive to him. He took out a few crystal coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground.
For the neighbor's sake, I will give you ten more crystal coins, and it will be treated as sending a dog away. Pick it up and get out!
Okay, thank you Jimmy Butler...
The young Norton was ecstatic, lying on the ground and going to pick up crystal coins.
But a pair of feet wearing leather boots suddenly appeared in his sight, the soles of the feet landed on the crystal coins, and with a twist of the ankle, all the crystal coins were crushed into powder.
what are you doing?
The young Norton was furious, his eyes were bloodshot instantly, he raised his head like a hungry wolf, and stared at the person in front of him.
If it wasn't for the sliver of rationality that told him that he would never be able to beat him, he might have rushed forward and swallowed him alive.
Chen Gou looked at him condescendingly, and asked expressionlessly: I only give you one chance, answer me seriously, do you still want to stand up and live like a human being, and do you want to avenge your sister Nuonan?
The boy looked at the person in front of him who seemed not much older than himself, but who made him feel great pressure like a strict father, and suddenly became quiet.
Thinking of his sister Nuonan, he looked ashamed, and tears of regret and humiliation flowed from his eyes.
Trash, why are you crying! Chen Gou was annoyed seeing his cowardly appearance, so he slapped him on the spot, directly slapping half of his face until it swelled up to double in an instant, and shouted angrily, Tell me, do you want to?
The young man was obviously stunned by the slap, and stood there blankly, even the pain of drug addiction seemed to be temporarily forgotten.
Trash, what else would you do besides crying? How could Nuonan have such a trashy brother like you? No wonder he died, probably in vain...
Chen Gou slapped his backhand again, and the other half of his face was also swollen.
You are not allowed to despise my sister, and... I am not a waste! The young Norton finally broke out, roaring like a little tiger, with a bit of sharp look in his eyes.
Tell me if you're not trash, do you want to?
I want it! I want it even in my dreams!!
The young Norton clenched his fist tightly, his nails stuck into his flesh, blood flowed out instantly, and tears came out of his eyes again: But I can't quit, I really can't...
Chen Gou's expression calmed down, he stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, As long as you still think about it, everyone makes mistakes, and you still have one chance to correct...
He naturally knows how difficult it is to quit drugs, let alone a child.
If this kid can quit, it's not in vain for him to make a special trip, and it can be regarded as maintaining the reputation of the Changge team.
But if the child can't quit, then... Let him go to see his sister earlier, so as not to stay in the world and suffer.
Hey! Where did you come from, who told you to meddle in your own business?
A few burly men suddenly rushed out from the crowd and looked at Chen Gou with displeased faces.
The leader among them was a man wearing a vest, who came up and pointed at Chen Gou's nose and said, Looking at you, he's from outside, I advise you not to meddle in your own business, you can't afford to wade into this muddy water!
These people are hooligans raised by the housekeeper Jimmy, and they are usually responsible for helping him with shady things.
This time is when they come in handy, and Jimmy will naturally not do this kind of thing himself.
It's you!
At this moment, the young Norton suddenly became agitated, pointed at these people and yelled, It's you who tricked me into drinking a glass of water and made me get phantom powder! It's you!!
Master Norton, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. When did we frame you? Do you have evidence?
The man in the vest sneered disdainfully: You yourself are greedy for pleasure, weak-willed, ruined your family property, angered your aunt to death, and made your life worse than a dog, so you want to push all the responsibility on others? I haven't seen that yet. A person like you who was so shameless at such a young age.
The young Norton was anxious and angry when he heard this, his chest rose and fell violently.
