I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain
Chapter 33 The Ugly Duckling
Jonah's Tavern.
The dirty air made people feel a little dull. Alcohol and tobacco permeated this small space, and the loud voices and vulgar music complemented each other.
The atmosphere on both sides of the bar completely froze after Roman greeted with a smile. The imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth was uncomfortable, as if he was preying on prey.
"Sir, the milk beer you ordered has arrived."
The dedicated bartender broke the silent atmosphere. After wiping the wine glass in front of the bar, he handed over a glass of milky white beer, and the slag deposited inside was clearly visible.
"grateful."
When the bartender was about to take away the extra coins with a smile, Roman unceremoniously reached out and held down the few pools that Mr. Mason dropped on the bar before leaving.
when!
Then, in front of the bartender, an equivalent coin popped out between the fingers.
"You're welcome."
Put the rest in your pockets.
This handsome middle-aged knight squeezed a smile on his face.
"Byer's currency conversion is definitely a big headache. The bastard who invented this currency system should be hanged."
Roman Richard taught Tu Fu based on the experience of those who have experienced it, "You see, a guy like Mason who is not good at arithmetic is always at a disadvantage."
If Mason was still here, he would definitely despise Mr. Knight's shameless behavior. As a miser, he was actually prostituted again for nothing.
"Here, here it is for you, underage should not drink alcohol, but fortunately milk beer is not included."
As he spoke, Roman handed over the glass of sweet milk beer unprepared.
In fact, after hearing what the other party said just now, Tu Fu's pupils subconsciously tightened, and several thoughts rolled in his mind instantly, and even wanted to use the power of the ghost ship to kill him at a certain moment.
He just calmed down again after being silent for a while, he could only shrug his shoulders pretending to be calm, "Thank you."
When he took the milk beer, he also spoke naturally, "Although I have no idea what you were talking about just now."
"In fact, we have investigated you since the attack on the church and found out some of your past whereabouts. At that time, we began to have doubts about you.
But what really caught my attention was that you in the Grand Theater came to the scene again. I never believe in any coincidence. When an accident happens the second time, it is definitely not an accident. "
Roman's tone was sincere, and he took the initiative to open up to him without any grievances, even a little too straightforward, "Anyway, as a defender of order, I am very grateful for your contribution in the Plague Dance incident."
"It's just the duty of an ordinary citizen."
Tu Fu took the milk beer and replied casually. After taking a sip, the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth. This low-alcohol drink has a taste similar to that of rice wine, and is more suitable for him than strong rum.
"By the way, what happened to that incident?"
"The damned Princess Sequence Transcendent happened to pick up a forbidden item, which happened to cause panic in Leeds." Roman used two "coincidentally" in a row in a funny manner, but did not point out the source of the forbidden item.
"Did you know? This is a generally recognized cursed sequence, which will always cause headaches and troublesome things. Those who have anything to do with them have almost no good end."
He changed the subject and talked about the business again: "Actually, you can see that I came to you with no malice, just like I treated Mason who handed you his business card.
That is a not-so-famous leader of an underground organization, and I just talked with him very well. "
Yes,
It's already quite harmonious without fighting.
Roman's face reveals sincerity, and the transcendents of each path will accumulate different auras for themselves.
For example, when a transcendent on the knight path speaks, his gestures are extremely formal, and his noble qualities appear in every moment of his behavior.
"But I don't quite understand. What do you say these things have anything to do with me." Although Tu Fu still denied it, Hawkeye started to activate unconsciously, and quickly searched around the tavern.
This spot has not actually opened for business, and it is mostly surrounded by bartenders and unemployed dancers.
The guests who simply wanted to have a drink came in twos and threes. Other than that, he didn't find any sneaky people. Roman was the only one who wanted to come to the Black Swan.
Immediately, Tu Fu quickly calculated the escape route, and took a carriage to the port or steam train station in Leeds, which was enough for him to go to any city.
From the moment Roman revealed his identity, Tu Fu knew that if he was not absolutely sure of killing the opponent, he would have to give up his identity in Leeds.
The ghost ship and past life memories are his secrets that cannot be touched.
"There's no need to be nervous about it. After all, a Sequence 9 Transcendent can't cause any disturbances in Leeds. If the Church of the Seven Gods has enough power to sanction all those who have achieved Transcendence, I don't know what kind of chaos will become in the Northern Continent. "
Uncle Roman told him frankly that this was not a big deal.
Unlike the rumors circulating among the people, it is true that one needs to sacrifice some freedom if one wants to become a transcendent, but that is the official channel.
Although they have been cracking down on the surface, they really can't control all the wild transcendents who have become through private transactions and independent production of potions.
"Although it is difficult to manage, we still need to know the information of the superhumans in the jurisdiction to avoid a situation like the plague dance attack."
Roman Richard finally revealed the reason for the meeting.
This is an official warning, I know all your information, so don't rely on your ability to do things that violate the rules.
The world of extraordinary people is also human, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and church organizations are the ones who make the rules of the world.
After Roman sent the signal of peace, Tu Fu couldn't help but relax. It would be a great thing to be able to keep his current identity.
He also didn't want to spend his days hiding from XZ after escaping from Leeds.
"No wonder Mr. Mason is safe and sound." Tu Fu finally understood.
"The Brotherhood is well-known in Leeds. It is almost a semi-public underground trading organization. It has branches in most cities. They not only sell supernatural items, but also sell intelligence and some odd businesses. Of course, this is not shady. .
It is not difficult to use the power of the church to suppress such an organization, but no one can guarantee whether the next brotherhood will still be in control. "Roman said.
This is a very simple truth, demand determines the market.
The current development of the Brotherhood is at least under control. They never make trouble, and their trading methods are gentle, and they even facilitate the official access to information.
No one can guarantee what the new trading organization that will be born after the destruction of this organization will be.
Therefore, the forces of the Seven Sects have always turned a blind eye to this.
"Of course, that doesn't stop me from hating that miser."
Roman picked up the wine glass, because the other party was as shameless as him, which is very, very rare.
"Let's get to know each other again, I am Roman Richard, the chief knight of the Black Swan of the Goddess of Wisdom's extraordinary team."
He reached into his pocket and took out a badge with a black swan pattern that Tu Fu had seen. On a lake surrounded by a circle, a black swan flapped its wings.
"What does this mean?"
"The Origin of Church Superorganization."
Roman rubbed the badge with his fingers, and told a story by the way, "Every ordinary person who has just entered the extraordinary is an ugly duckling with flaws before he wants to grow into a responsible black swan.
Only after suffering and countless pains can one day finally transform into a black swan.
That's great, isn't it! "
This bedtime reading from the south of Baia seems to have been endowed with a different meaning by the Goddess of Wisdom.
"A good story." Tu Fu applauded appropriately.
"Maybe you can also join Black Swan and devote yourself to solving mysterious events in the future, which is a great thing.
You can save a lot of cases like church attacks, people who should have lost their lives, and there are a lot of these things that happen every year.
It's just because there is a lack of people like you who have both a sense of justice and ability. "
Roman Richard's voice was very deep, and he smelled of alcohol and tobacco all over his body.
It actually exuded a lonely and melancholy temperament.
He even sniffed his nose secretly, raised his head and the circles of his eyes turned red at some point, with a few tears swirling in his eyes, as if his emotions would erupt at any moment.
Even he himself couldn't help cheering for himself in his heart, "Damn it, Roman, when can you act so well."
It's just that when Roman glanced at Tu Fu secretly from the corner of his eye, the other party remained unmoved.
"To be honest, Mr. Roman, your performance almost moved me. If I were really a transcendent, I would definitely become a partner of justice without hesitation." Tu Fu added jokingly.
Sophie,
look,
The Golden Mask Award should go to this guy.
He learned a lot from this Roman, especially what a precious and noble quality a thick skin is.
If there is really a transcendent who is easily moved by those fictional stories, it is hard to say whether he has the opportunity to transform into a swan. It is more likely that he is listening to black-hearted capitalists talking about the future in a black coal mine.
Seeing that Tu Fu was indifferent, Roman's eyelids started to twitch, and he gave him a fierce look, and finally he was willing to come up with something real:
"And in return, we can provide professional help, and after making meritorious service, we can convert it into merit points, which can be exchanged for follow-up potion information or finished products of the extraordinary path."
"Sorry, Mr Roman, I have my own plans for the future.
Get admitted to a good university, and then take a weekly salary of at least 10 crowns to buy a house of your own in places like Puton District.
Well, there is also a maid lady in a maid outfit. "
Tu Fu took another sip of milk beer, and briefly rejected his proposal.
"Why don't you listen to the salary, it's very generous." Roman tried again without giving up.
"Need not."
The reason why he refused so quickly was that Tu Fu was afraid that if the offer was too high, he would not be able to help but agree.
He is really not interested in going to the sharp knife to do the job of risking his life, not to mention the conditions given by the other party, as long as he is willing, he can go back to the ghost ship to get it himself, so why sell himself to them.
"That's a real pity."
When Roman said this, he showed a very appreciative look.
I thought I would just instigate a few words to protect Liz and become a hero in the dark.
Don't children at this passionate age yearn for such a rich life? What's more, with the attraction of high salaries, it is difficult to have a reason to refuse such an offer.
But the performance of the child in front of him was too calm. This kind of composure appeared in a child who did not meet his age.
"Well, it seems that there is no need to talk anymore, I wish you a happy life." Speaking of this, Roman actually has no need to talk anymore.
"Mr. Roman, there may be another explanation for the story you just told."
"What explanation?"
After drinking the last drop of milk beer in the cup, Tu Fu did not forget to joke before leaving: "The reason why the ugly duckling turned into a swan is not because it has gone through countless hardships.
Instead,
Its parents are themselves swans. "
