Chapter 379 Young Master, you are too lonely
In Elu's story, he is the heir to the Acedes family and the future lord of the Lion Heart City.
He had three elder brothers, but they all died in conflicts and battles with surrounding cities, so he is now the eldest son.
His father is in his fifties this year. Because he was young, he was covered in injuries and was bedridden for many years. He is not sure when he will be finished. He has a stepmother in his thirties, the daughter of a chamber of commerce president in Shixin City. He has a son and a daughter with his father. His son is ten years old this year.
He himself was weak and although he had been practicing the family's Force martial arts, he had almost no progress. He was despised in the family, and even his father had the idea of letting his half-brother inherit the position of the city lord.
His only support was his family whose deceased mother was. His grandfather was the most capable general in the battle and prestige in Shixin City. He was highly trusted by his father. He had two uncles who also held important positions in the Shixin City army.
For this reason, although the status of the young master Elu is in danger, it has been maintained.
But this situation cannot last. This time, the reason why he went to Wuyue Continent was because the family's merchant fleet had some problems in Wuyue Continent, and it had to be dealt with by a sufficient amount. Another reason was that his grandfather was also old and was over 70 years old. He had a relapse of injury a year ago. He vomited blood while riding a horse and had to step down and recuperate.
Without the support of his grandfather, he, the young master, was run to Wuyue Continent by his stepmother's forces.
This time he traveled, he originally brought a full guard regiment with more than 30 powerful warriors, but he encountered a sneak attack by robbers in the Wuyue Continent, and almost all the troops were wiped out. Only Juta led him out of the siege.
In the early morning, Elru, an already drunk noble boy, was chattering, talking about his past without reservation. When he talked about escaping from the siege, Rollin asked: "Have you handled the matter of the family merchant fleet?"
"Do it just go!" Elru's mouth was squirting alcohol, his face was red, and he waved his hand heavily: "When I went, all five merchant ships had been auctioned by the damn city lord, and the person in charge of the fleet ran away. The ransom I brought was also robbed by the robbers, and it took a vain."
"That's not good. When you go back this time, you will definitely be called an incompetent and useless person, and then your position as a young master will be gone, hehe." Luo Lin patted the boy's shoulder with gloating pleasure.
Elu knew in his heart that Rowlin was right, but he was tired and couldn't turn the situation around. He simply learned that Rowlin was sitting in the aisle and said indifferently: "Who said no? I'm also thinking about it. What kind of young master is not right? I'll give it to my younger brother, so I can save my stepmother from causing trouble for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lin laughed, pinched the boy's face and slapped it with his hands, "Young man, you are so naive."
"Don't pat my face!" Elu waved to hit Rollin's hand. He was drunk now and was too lazy to care about the rudeness of the guard.
But his little strength was so open that he could not open it. Luo Lin was still slapping it. The strength he used was almost the same as slapping his hands. He was not merciless: "You are not the young master anymore, do you think you are safe? I think you are beautiful, I tell you that you are handing over your stepmother's life to the hands of your stepmother and her slaughter! No, not only will you hand over your own life, but also your grandfather's life and your uncle's life. I'm sure that when your younger brother succeeds to the throne and becomes the city lord, you will not live for at most three years."
While talking, he beat Elu, and Venus was staring at the sight of him, but Elu was completely unhappy. Instead, he was stunned by the hearing. The pain on his face stimulated him, making him slowly awake as he was drunk.
"Are you saying true?" He asked, but he believed in his heart. He had heard a lot of this kind of battle for the position of the city lord since he was a child. Although people are celebrating the reputation of the winner and rarely mention the outcome of the loser, Elu has lived in the city lord's house for almost sixteen years, and he is intriguing with people every day, so how could he have imagined?
Before, he had the idea of retreating, but he was just a little lucky.
Rollin guessed that if he continued to slap his face, the boy should be angry, so he stopped, took the bottle and took another sip, cleaned the last sip of wine at the bottom of the bottle, then squirted at Eru's face, and smiled and said, "If I say it's fake, do you believe it?"
"What should I do?" Elu asked, and after he asked, he felt a little regretful. Such an alcoholic, and he was from a civilian, what's the use of asking him? Although he didn't take back his words, he no longer expected the answer.
But unexpectedly, Luo Lin smiled and said, "I have been a guard for five years. I have seen a lot of this situation. You are now famous and have the support of military forces. This was a good situation. The reason why your position is unstable is that you are too incompetent and cannot give confidence to those who follow you."
"But I" Eru wanted to argue that he was in poor health, but found that this might be the reason for his failure, but it could not be used as a reason for retreat.
"Hmph, you still have some backbone." Luo Lin smiled, and then handed the bottle in his hand to Eru: "If you fill my bottle, I will teach you a way to deal with this difficulty."
"Are you serious?" Elu was half-believing.
"Wine!" Rollin pushed the bottle at Eru.
Eru was relieved and did not receive the wine bottle. He turned around and went to the cabin to get a new bottle of fire wine for Rollin.
While he was going to get the wine, Rollin turned around and woke up two people in the aisle, and was now staring at his guard in a daze and said, "Let's see, go to sleep with you."
The two guards stood up quickly, without looking straight, but they were muttering in their hearts that this guy's courage was really made of diamonds. He dared to slap the nobles in the face, and he was so confident.
After a while, Eru came again and handed the wine to Rollin. He looked up at the two guards in the aisle and whispered: "Why do you want to go into the cabin and say?"
"No problem." Luo Lin stumbled and got up, entered the cabin, and walked towards the carved bench in the room. When he arrived, he lay on the chair like mud, then squeezed the cork and poured wine into his mouth.
"Drink less, drinking will hurt your body." Elu couldn't help but persuade.
"Stop it, do you know if you drink alcohol to nourish your heart?" Luo Lin waved his hand, but did not continue to drink. To be honest, he doesn't like drinking much. Now he is just a professional ethic of pretending to be an alcoholic. As for drinking alcohol, it hurts his body? Of course not. He is still a dragon clan now, and his physical vitality is not covered. This little alcohol can only promote blood circulation.
"What should I do?" Elu asked sincerely. He now felt that this guard might help him overcome the difficulties.
"Look for alliances and take advantage of the situation." Luo Lin's mouth was a little vague, his eyes were aimed everywhere, and finally landed on a small box in the cabin closet.
This small box contains something like a cigarette on Earth. Of course, Elu doesn't smoke it. This thing is not his, but the configuration given to the nobles by this ocean-going civilian ship. It doesn't smoke or decorations, and it doesn't cost money if you smoke it. Anyway, it's all counted as a boat ticket.
So this era is prosperous. Although there are often conflicts between cities, business is extremely developed and enjoys all kinds of enjoyment.
"I want that." Rollin pointed to the closet. On earth, he liked smoking very much, but unfortunately there was no cigarette in this other world later generation, so he quit, but now he missed this thing.
Elru was pondering Rollin's words, but after hearing this, he opened the closet and threw a whole box of cigarettes on Rollin: "It's all yours. Then who should I find to join forces? How can I take advantage of the situation?"
Rowlin took out a cigarette from the box, lit it and took a sip, and tasted it. It felt okay, it felt similar to the cigarette on the earth, but this one was more refreshing. After vomiting a cigarette ring, Rowlin threw the bottle aside. He decided to slowly replace the wine in the future. Who told him to like smoking more: "How do I know who to join forces? You stayed in the cabin for so many days on the boat, and you didn't attend the dance party, and you didn't talk to other nobles. To be honest, I have never seen such a unique noble as you. Hey~ You are inferior, right?"
"" This sentence hit Elu's heartache. His face turned pale, gritted his teeth, and he didn't care about his face. To be honest, "I am the only noble on the boat who knows martial arts. The men laughed at me, and the women looked down on me. I have been to dance several times and were treated as a clown every time. What do you think this is meaningful?"
‘Baz~Baz’ Rollin squinted his eyes and spitted out the mist. He kept sucking half of it before he glanced at Elu and said teasingly: “Being a clown is ten thousand times better than being a clown. You can’t use such good conditions. I think you have a problem with your brain.”
Rollin was not polite at all, Eru felt a little angry, but he felt his words make sense, and before he knew it, he fell into deep thought.
Luo Lin ignored him and began to enjoy this cigarette from another world. After smoking one, he made a statement with a drunken expression: "Check is better than wine. From now on, I will smoke. Young Master, will I change the bottle of fire wine to cigarettes every five days in the next five days?"
Elu was so amused and laughed: "I said you can't help but harm your body? How can you let me be like a person who is close to being disabled?"
"Everyone has different lives, Young Master, I envy you for being born aristocrat. If you were aristocrat, my wife and children would be able to hide in a safe fortress."
Elru was stunned again, and suddenly felt a sense of openness in his heart. Yes, I have things that most people in this world don’t have, so why am I complaining about? Isn’t it just that I’m weak, what’s the big deal?
Suddenly, Eru was full of energy and smiled, "You are right, Rollin, I am indeed too unique, I want to go out. Yes, I will go to the dance on the boat tomorrow!"
He walked around the cabin with confidence, but hesitated again on his face. A person's personality can be changed, but it is basically impossible to change suddenly. For example, Elu, as he thought a lot in his mind, the inferiority complex that he had been ridiculed in his bones emerged again.
After walking a few more laps, he said, "I am alone and you will go with me tomorrow. Don't worry, as long as I eventually become the city lord, I will let you be my general, and there is enough cigarettes and alcohol!"
