Chapter 709 Please Come with Me
Chapter 709 Please Come with Me
At the ferry boarding gate, Selene, dressed in a maid outfit, had been waiting here for a long time.
The first time she saw Aleister from afar, she ran over, squatted down, hugged Aleister, and took a deep breath of the increasingly strong and strange fragrance on Aleister's body that only she could smell.
Selene was taller than Aleister... After she squatted down, they were exactly the same height. Because of the beauty of Aleister and Selene, this scene became extremely eye-catching. Passing tourists saw it and laughed kindly.
"Okay, Selene. Stop it."
Aleister pointed out her identity and name to the honey badger, and then said, "Let's go."
"Miss Crawley...right."
As soon as they got on the boat, they were immediately stopped by a burly middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
There were some scales on his skin, and it was obvious that he was a hybrid of lizardman and other races.
The man's arms were even thicker than Aleister's waist, and he was about two meters tall. His ears were slightly pointed, his back was hunched, his face was covered with hideous flesh, and his chin had a flap-like protrusion like a butt. He had purple anchor tattoos on his shoulders and arms, and he looked as fierce as a pirate leader.
Some passengers were startled at the sight of him, and others hesitated at the bottom of the stairs, not daring to board the ship.
But facing him, Aleister showed no fear at all.
She just asked softly, "Mr. Captain?"
It's not difficult to recognize this.
On the Elf Ferry where everyone's weapons were confiscated, he was the only one who had a scimitar and a revolver on his waist.
"Haha, you recognized it!"
This ugly and ferocious captain, who could scare a child to tears, smiled in an almost flattering way: "I am Elvan Rachado, the captain of this ship... You are a distinguished guest, please follow me."
As he said this, he respectfully performed an elven salute to Aleister.
This scene was seen by the people around.
After seeing this, a black-haired boy with glasses and freckles on his face quickly walked to a room and whispered to one of the messy gray-haired boys.
After hearing this, the gray-haired boy's expression suddenly turned ugly.
The two of them whispered for a while, then pushed each other and quietly left the room.
When they went out, the sound became slightly louder.
"I told you not to mess with her!"
The freckled black-haired boy had a look of uneasiness on his face: "Her butler... looks so scary. He gives me the same feeling as Professor Brunswick..."
"…What are you afraid of, you idiot!"
The gray-haired boy also showed fear on his face, but he was still as tough as ever: "Isn't Professor Brunswick dead too? Extraordinary people are also human beings...
"I told you, I've seen the price of that skirt - if it's the real thing, the skirt alone is worth 800,000 gold coins! Even if it's a replica, the price is definitely not low...
"With such followers and wearing such an expensive dress, her jewelry is likely to be extraordinary. If we get her jewelry, maybe we can change our fate-"
"But now that you have it, has your fate changed?"
The freckled boy spoke sharply: "Dimitri?"
The boy called Demeter was speechless.
"...How would I know that a young lady of this rank would wear fakes outside..."
He moved his lips, but still remained stubborn.
"What else?" the freckled boy continued, "Do you wear the real thing for you to steal? If it is the real thing, it must have a tracking ritual, and we can't get far after taking it!" "That's enough, Paul! Didn't you stop me when I started?"
Dimitri said angrily, "You have a share too!"
"I stopped it!"
"Stopped not enough! If you just say it, it means you want it in your heart, right?"
Just as Dimitri said this, he saw someone passing by.
They immediately stopped talking, watched the passerby go away, and then lowered their voices: "Why don't we send the things back? Apologize to the young lady... maybe she will forgive us."
"Give it back?"
Paul asked back: "What are you thinking? What you have in your hand is a fake!"
"…What's wrong with fake goods? Since they're fake, they shouldn't be that valuable. So I think…if we apologize, they should be able to forgive us."
"Don't even think about it! You're so stupid! You don't understand nobility at all, Dimitro!"
Paul's eyes were sharp and his voice was getting louder and louder: "They will never forgive you - they will just claim that the jewelry you stole was real, and then try to get away with it by returning a fake one!
"They will ask you to pay for the loss of a real thing! After all, why would such a noble lady wear a fake when she goes out? If you return the item, she will think it is a mockery - mocking her that her family is poor and can't even afford to lose a fake item!"
"why is it like this……"
Dimitri hesitated and shook his head: "You think too badly of the nobles. Isn't Albert also a noble? Miss Aurora is also a noble..."
"...Albert is a special case. And Aurora...her parents are both dead, and her property has been taken away by her relatives. She can't be considered a noble." Paul hesitated, and his voice became smaller and calmer.
"Doesn't that mean there are special cases?"
Dimitri tried to persuade his friend to go with him: "Maybe the young lady is also such a kind person?"
"Unlikely. Her last name is Crowley. People in that family have some mental problems..."
Paul still firmly refused.
But when he got to this point, he suddenly realized, "Do you want to flirt with her just because she's pretty?"
"…She is so pretty, and she must be kind-hearted."
Dimitri did not deny it, but begged his companion: "Come with me... I don't dare to go alone. I don't know what taboos those nobles have, or what kind of opera they like to watch... You have to accompany me."
Hearing this, Paul flew into a rage: "You are not interested in the value of that thing at all, you just want her personal belongings! You still want to drag me to go with you, I tell you, no way!
"Don't forget, we have a mission for this voyage! If anything goes wrong because of you, our instructor will turn us into zombies!"
"——I think you two should go. And tell me what the mission is!"
Suddenly, a pair of hands fell on their shoulders. A calm middle-aged man's voice came from behind them.
They turned around in horror—only to see the young lady's housekeeper appear silently behind them.
Paul's mind worked quickly: "It's the passerby just now!"
That passerby was actually a butler who transformed into someone else!
"Yes, it's me."
The butler had a blank expression on his face. He put a little more force on his hands on their shoulders and repeated, "You two... please come with me."
