Chapter 775 6. The long journey
The cabin was heavy and stuffy, filled with sour, rotten and foot odor. But Henry seemed to have gotten used to it, lying next to the wooden box closest to the oil lamp, immersed in writing in his diary.
【We are about to dock.
My mood at the moment is like Chris who set foot in Liberty City for the first time, full of longing and longing for Liberty City, as well as a trace of worry——
If it is not as beautiful as described what to do? 】
Henry put away the charcoal pencils sharpened from charcoal, dried the scraps, and flipped through the diary in front of it at will.
From theater owner Greta Huffman sending himself to Liberty City, only to be robbed by pirates off the coast. Because he could act, he was caught and taken to a pirate island to perform for the boss, to the Royal Navy attacking the pirates. The pirates fled on the island, but he was caught as an accomplice and imprisoned for more than ten days.
After being released, he performed in a tavern because he was penniless, and was tricked by the bard as a business-stealing accomplice. Finally, he found a group of stowaways who planned to go to Liberty City to make a fortune, and followed them. As a cleaner, he boarded a merchant ship...
His trip to Liberty City was full of twists and turns.
As footsteps approached, Henry put away the diary unhurriedly, not worried about leaking the secret at all.
He was the only literate person in the cabin.
"Can this thing you wrote be eaten as bread?" a rough voice sounded from behind.
"If anyone gives me a piece of bread, I will give it away on the spot."
A dull laughter was heard in the cabin, and then there was applause.
The leader of this group of stowaways, a man said to be a ranger, summoned everyone.
"We are almost to Liberty City."
The man swept the group of crooked melons and cracked dates under his hands. "Remember, don't be blinded by the beauty here. Our mission is to make money, make big money!"
"Got it?"
"Got it."
"I can't hear you!"
"Got it!"
Bang bang——
A knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the cabin.
"Keep your voices down! We are about to enter the port!"
The man clapped his hands and lowered his voice: "Get ready to work, guys!"
Henry followed them out of the cabin and onto the deck.
When the city on the coastline appeared in the distance, shining in the morning light, Henry seemed to have broken into the world of "When Freedom Knocks" - he couldn't help but look back, wanting to see There was a theater full of people behind him... but there was only one face that looked like a boiled potato.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing..."
Henry made up his mind to leave this group of people as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong and become a free man!
The hull shook slightly, and the merchant ship officially docked.
The first-class and first-class passengers on the merchant ship board the port first, then the second-class and last-class passengers. After all the guests have left, the cargo is unloaded. They, the cleaners, have to clean up the cabin and deck. Leave cleanly.
Henry, covered in sweat, finally stepped onto the port. A group of them came to the busy street, and the sour smell caused a bunch of passersby to avoid it.
Henry was a little ashamed of himself and did not dare to look up at anyone.
The leader of the stowaways came over and patted him, staring greedily at the rich people coming and going: "Don't worry, we will soon be as rich as the people here... no, richer than the people here."
The stowaway sent two of his men to find out where the slums were.
Slums? Where can there be a place like this in Liberty City...
Then Henry realized what this guy wanted to do...gather a group of people, run to the slums to grab territory, then form a gang and find a noble as a backer - this It is the way to get rich for most ambitious people
You must leave them!
Thinking this way, Henry unknowingly fell to the back of the team. When passing an alley, he suddenly got into the alley.
Henry ran for two whole streets before he stopped, holding on to the wall and retching. His strangeness attracted the attention of several patrolling guards, who came closer.
"Are you okay?"
"No...I'm fine..." Henry raised his head nervously.
Then the guard really didn’t care anymore and was about to walk away.
"Please wait a moment..." It seemed that the guards had no ill intentions, Henry couldn't help but said, "There is a group of outsiders like me, they are looking for slums..."
The guards looked at each other: "Thank you for the reminder."
Henry was flattered and stood there blankly watching the group of guards who were neither greedy nor irritable go away.
It seems that the rumors in Liberty City are true...
Henry couldn't help but want to write these down in his diary, but came up empty handed.
He remembered that he had been patted several times by the leader...did he get lost or was he stolen at that time?
Forget it, forget it...
Henry confirmed that he did not reveal anything in the diary. Anyway, he was going to start over in Liberty City.
The first destination...try your luck at the theater first!
The passers-by here were humble and polite. Henry asked where the theater was and walked along the flat street with wheat planted in the middle of the road.
During this period, he saw orcs in twos and threes, chirping goblins, and occasionally beautiful elves with pointed ears walking by. During this period, he also encountered a succubus - Henry's body was still standing on the street, but his soul had drifted away.
Elena, the owner of Succubus Massage Parlor, ignored the looks of passers-by and pushed her wheelchair back to her sisters' residence.
“My dear, I bought you a wheelchair.”
Elena’s sister, a tall and sexy succubus, was leaning naked, with a whip-like tail Shaking gently: "Elena, you really should give it a try. My strength has improved a lot in just two nights."
Elena is indifferent, nothing can make her fall in love: "One Annan is worth thousands of vampires."
"Then if I sleep with thousands of vampires, wouldn't it be equivalent to sleeping with one Annan?"
Elena was speechless and threw the wheelchair to her sisters.
The succubus glanced at the wheelchair and frowned when he saw the wooden stick stuck in the seat.
“Why is there only one?”
……
In the early morning, Annan finished his meditation and ran to the garden to look at the trees from another world that had been planted.
When Annan left, it was about the same height as Lily, but under Da De's care, it was almost as tall as him.
The shape of the tree from another world is quite similar to that of the elm tree. The branches and leaves are luxuriant. Its branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, full of vitality and vitality, and it is completely impossible to tell that its nutrients come from strange sources.
Because the leaves are still small, Annan is not in a hurry to pick the leaves.
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Idilia has already sent out invitations, inviting businessmen to attend a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion auditorium tonight.
"By the way, some businessmen are your fans. You need to say a few words to them when the time comes."
"How could you do such a thing?" Annan felt that he was betrayed.
Olmedo didn't care: "Compared to what you did, it's nothing."
Annan closed her mouth with a guilty conscience, thinking that she knew that she said bad things about Olmedo. .
In the evening, gorgeous carriages drove in one after another on the street in front of the city lord's palace.
Looking at the excitement in front of the door, Annan suddenly remembered one thing:
"In whose name is this banquet?"
"Yours."
"Oh Almedo, we’re in trouble”
