Chapter 30: Before the Titan Poseidon sails (part 2)
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A violent knock on the door came from outside, waking up Lasputin who was sleeping. When she woke up, she only felt a splitting headache, and bursts of sour gas rushed into her throat, making her want to vomit.
"It looks like! Drinking too much is not a good thing." Lasputin complained, put on a veil, and was about to get up.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Perhaps because he didn't hear Lasputin's reply, the knock on the door became even more anxious.
"Got it! Got it! I'm here to open the door. Really, it's very rude to disturb others' rest so early in the morning. I would be angry if it wasn't important." Dragging my exhausted body , Lasputin walked to the door and opened it.
The one who knocked on the door was a middle-aged wizard wearing the robes of a fifth-level wizard, which surprised Lasputin. She thought it was a hotel clerk to remind her that she should have breakfast.
"Excuse me, are you the sixth-level wizard Mr. Lasputin?" The wizard asked her politely.
"Yes, I am Lasputin. What can you do with me?" Lasputin has already been surprised by the misidentification of his gender by others. It seems that in the minds of most people, a young sixth-level wizard is It can only be male.
"I am the vice president of the Taji City Wizards Guild. On behalf of the Taji City Wizards Guild, I sincerely invite you to be the bodyguard of the Titan Poseidon, which will sail the maiden two days later. I hope you can agree to it." Informed Lasputin of his intentions.
"Is that the first steel giant ship Titan Poseidon built by the Wizards Guild? I didn't expect me to have such a face! Then who are the strongest bodyguards on this ship? How much compensation can I get if I join ?" Lasputin asked the most critical question straightforwardly.
"There are already ten sixth-level fighters, five sixth-level wizards on this ship, and there are about a hundred other fighters and wizards below the sixth level. There are no occupations below the fourth level. In addition, to ensure This voyage was foolproof. The Sorcerer’s Guild Headquarters sent two level 7 strongmen over. If you are willing to join, we will pay you 20,000 gold coins." The middle-aged Sorcerer answered Lasputin one by one. Question.
"Two 7th-level powerhouses!" The bodyguard power of the middle-aged wizard mentioned earlier was still in Lasputin's expectation, but the appearance of the latter two 7th-level powerhouses really shocked her. . It seems that the Sorcerer's Guild has tried its best to ensure the safety of this voyage, and even dispatched the seventh-level strong.
"Okay, I promised!" Since there are seven-level powerhouses in the lineup, and the compensation is not low, Lasputin readily agreed to the middle-aged wizard's invitation.
"Thank you so much. This is the ferry ticket and the crystal card that has been credited with 10,000 gold coins. Please accept it. Then, goodbye." After giving a ferry ticket and a crystal card to Lasputin, The middle-aged wizard left Lasputin's room.
"Are you sailing at sea? Okay, just take a break! It's not like drinking in the house like this all the time." Holding the ticket, Lasputin sighed. She has spent the past few days half drunk and half awake. After being treated "like that" by the light magician who could not even remember her name, she began to abandon herself and was locked in a hotel room for drinking all day long. That incident really hit her too hard, you know, except for her mother, no one has ever seen her body! Her father hadn't even seen it. But she couldn't take action against the other party, after all, he was also her savior.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! I don't want to, let's get a good night's sleep!" The more I thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but there was nothing to do, so I went back to bed and fell asleep.
...
"Oh! Big brother, where are you now! Why don't you come to see Li?" In a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers, a blond little girl in a white dress and white butterfly hair accessory was looking sigh. She was the little noble girl who was rescued by Ulysses last time. In her hand, the amethyst bracelet that was the same as Aya's transfiguration was shining.
Farrie, who is only twelve years old this year, is the jewel in the hands of Count Lafas. Since the earl’s family only has her baby girl, she has been loved by everyone in the earl’s family since she was a child. It can be said that she has lived in the care of everyone since she was a child, and she has hardly suffered from even a bit of suffering. So she is a little naive to think that everything in the world is beautiful, and those bad people only exist in the story of adults coaxing her to sleep. However, that night a few days ago, her dream was shattered.
She will never forget what happened that night a few days ago. She clearly remembered that that night, in order to fulfill the agreement between her and Alice, she ran out of the house while the maid Lis was not paying attention. When Lis found out, he chased after him desperately, frantically discouraging her from going out, telling her that there were murderers in the street recently. But she took what she said into ears.
What happened next became Fali's eternal nightmare. The murderer wearing a mask suddenly appeared. He rushed towards her frantically. An unknown elder brother loudly reminded them to run away and blocked the murderer with his body, but he was immediately hit by the murderer. Lisi desperately hugged her who was too scared to move, and wanted to take her away. However, in a blink of an eye she was pierced into the heart by the murderer's knife, not only that, the knife also pierced her body and pierced Fali's chest.
The knife was really cold, it was cold. This was the only thought Fali had after being stabbed by the knife, and then she lost consciousness. In the end, what she saw was Lis’s picture that seemed to fail to protect her. Guilty face and blood all over the sky.
When she woke up, she found herself in a pool of blood, but it was strange that she had almost no injuries at all. Only her chest was scratched and stained with blood to prove that she had suffered. Fatal injury. The murderer had disappeared, leaving only the blood all over the floor and the corpse whose shape Lies could not distinguish.
At that moment, Fali felt unprecedented loneliness and fear. On the street where there was no one, she was alone, surrounded by pieces of blood and people, as if everyone had abandoned her. But at this moment, an amethyst bracelet and a small piece of paper fell out of her body, and she was taken aback for a long time before she had the courage to open the small piece of paper and look at it.
Lovely little princess, I'm really sorry for making you encounter such a terrible thing today, but you don't have to be afraid anymore, that nasty murderer has been wiped out by me. Your injury was cured by me. Please believe that there are still many beautiful things in this world. Don't lose hope in this world because of your misfortune tonight. To express my apologies, I will give you my amethyst bracelet, and I wish you happiness forever. If you were a good boy, I would visit you. Will always guard your big brother in the distance to stay.
In that extremely cold and lonely night for Fari, this little note was like a candle to warm and illuminate her heart that had fallen into darkness and cold. She just read the warm words on the little note over and over again, holding the purple crystal bracelet tightly and spending the long night that changed her life.
When the earl and his wife went home in the morning and found the blood and body outside the door and Farrie sitting in a pool of blood, they were hardly scared to death. In the next few days, Fali was forbidden to go out. They were so worried about her, lest she might do something more.
Farrie, who couldn't go out, had to stay at home obediently. In the past few days, she had nothing else to do, so she kept touching the amethyst bracelet left by the unknown big brother, imagining his appearance. She didn't tell anyone about the bracelet and the note. When she was most alone and helpless, it was the bracelets and notes left by this elder brother that gave her the only warmth. She hopes to thank him in person. Although she could not go out, she thought that if she was to be a good child as stated in the elder brother's note, maybe he would come to see her on his own initiative. Although she knew in her heart that this possibility was actually pitiful.
"Miss, good news. The master agreed to let you go on board the Titan Poseidon, which will be on the maiden voyage in two days. You can leave the house." A maid yelled and ran towards her.
"Really!" Fali jumped out with joy when she heard the news. After all, being kept at home and not being able to go out is really a depressing thing. Besides, if you want to find that elder brother to thank him, it is obviously better to go outside by yourself than to wait in the house.
"The Supreme God! Please bless me to find the unknown big brother smoothly!" Fali prayed to the Supreme God sincerely.
"Yawn!" Obviously it was summer, but Ulysses sneezed inexplicably.
"Did anyone mention my name behind your back?" Ulysses was confused about this strange sneeze.
