"Madam, pay attention below." The old housekeeper got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and opened the door for his wife. He leaned over slightly and reminded softly: "Be careful, there are steps ahead."
"Thank you!" A woman with black hair got out of the car. She was wearing a black woolen coat today, with her hair tied up high, looking elegant and capable. Seeing the old housekeeper's respectful look, the woman gave him a faint look.
With a smile, it felt as if spring had arrived for a moment, making people feel the slightest breeze blowing on their face.
The old butler was still wearing his crisp black suit. He bowed slightly and gave up his position so that his wife could clearly see the building standing behind him.
This is the place in Bunas City that specializes in selling ferry tickets. Although not long after the war ended, this place still looks a bit chaotic, with people queuing up everywhere, but it has indeed resumed its function of selling tickets to the Western Continent.
Since the Tang Empire declared war on the Western Continent, all flights to the Western Continent have been suspended due to the risk of war, leaving many people stranded in the Eastern Continent. Now that the war is over, everyone is eager to return to the Western Continent. This ticket sales
Naturally, the place was overcrowded.
In order to support the war, the Tang Empire organized a large number of merchant ships to transport supplies to the Eastern Continent. Now that the war is over, it is of course impossible for all the ships to return to the Western Continent empty. The interests must be maximized.
"Hello, could you please give me three tickets to Linshui." Walking into the bustling hall, the old housekeeper helped his wife to the end of the queue and waited patiently in line. The queue moved not too slowly and quickly.
It was their turn. The old housekeeper said to the conductor politely, with a just right smile on his face, which made people feel cordial and respectful.
"VIP ticket." He added, hoping for a more comfortable journey.
The conductor was a young man. He raised his head and his eyes stayed on the old butler for a moment. The old butler's elegant clothes and meticulous hairstyle showed his extraordinary status. The conductor didn't say much, just said in a routine manner.
: "Sir, please show your ID and special pass."
The war has just ended. Although the smoke-filled scene in Bunas City has faded, the aftermath of the war can still be felt. Patrolling soldiers and military trucks loaded with supplies can be seen everywhere on the streets. They come and go, as if to remind
Showing people the cruelty of war.
In order to support the war in the Eastern Continent, the Tang State mobilized a large number of materials and personnel from the Western Continent. Now that the war is actually coming to an end, many related materials and personnel need to return to the Western Continent one after another, which also makes the port of Bunas City become
Got to be extremely busy.
In order to maintain post-war order and prevent some lawless elements from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Western Continent, the Tang government also strengthened the control of people coming and going while resuming navigation. Everyone who wanted to go to the Western Continent needed to apply for a special pass. Only
Only after review and approval can you obtain the pass qualification.
Of course, this kind of pass is not something difficult to obtain. As long as the identity is clean and there is no criminal record, it can basically be processed smoothly. The intention of the Tang government is obvious. They just want to eliminate some potential risks as much as possible and avoid unnecessary
trouble. However, it is only the first level of troubleshooting and is far from being strict.
"Oh, yes." The old housekeeper responded, and slowly took out three documents from his pocket and handed them to the other party: "We want the tickets for the latest ship. It's best to get them today.
Walk……"
The conductor took the certificate, lowered his head and looked at each one carefully. He first picked up the old butler's certificate, looked at the photo, then raised his head to look at the old butler himself, and carefully compared the photo on the certificate with the real person.
After confirming that it was correct, he picked up the document and carefully checked the identity information and issuance date to confirm that the document was authentic and valid. Finally, he picked up the seal, stamped the old butler's pass, and finished all this
Then, he picked up the second document and checked it carefully following the same steps.
This certificate belonged to the lady standing behind the old housekeeper. The conductor took a look at the photo and was immediately attracted by the beauty of the woman in the photo. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the woman a few more times. The woman's skin was fair and delicate,
She can be broken by blows, and her big watery eyes seem to be able to talk, and her small and exquisite nose and cherry mouth add a bit of charm to her.
The conductor saw countless people, and what kind of beauty he had never seen before, but this was the first time he had seen such an elegant and outstanding-looking woman in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, what a peerless beauty!
The conductor stamped it quickly, fearing that his rude behavior would attract the other party's attention. The last ID belonged to the tall man standing behind the woman. The conductor glanced at the photo, then raised his head to look at the man himself. Only the man was visible.
He has a burly figure and sharp eyes, and he looks like a practicing martial artist at first glance.
At a glance, you can tell that among the three people, the woman is the protagonist, the tall man behind him is obviously a bodyguard, and the old man in front of him who looks like a housekeeper is the one in charge of things. Such a combination is usually very wealthy.
, the social status must be very high, so the conductor did not dare to neglect, quickly stamped it, and then put the three documents neatly aside.
"360 gold coins... Ferry tickets are not cheap at this time. Is there any special purpose for going to the Western Continent?" the conductor asked in a routine manner.
"Our young lady went to seek refuge with relatives. As you know, things are in chaos here in the Eastern Continent." The old butler continued to smile like a formula and answered questions fluently. As he spoke, he took out the money and handed over the breakfast.
He handed the prepared banknotes to the conductor.
Even though he had seen the world, he was also shocked by the price of the ticket. He could imagine it being expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive...
The reason he said was very common. Rich people are now looking for various ways to escape to the Western Continent. As long as they go there and there are no criminal records of murder, robbery, bullying, etc., they are basically completely safe.
The conductor nodded and expressed his understanding. He had seen too many people who had left their homes because of the war, and he did not have the slightest doubt about the old butler's words.
He put the things on the light yellow wooden window sill and pushed out the window. The three documents were neatly placed together, next to them were three brand-new ferry tickets, exuding a faint scent of ink.
The old housekeeper put away his ID and ticket and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. The woman behind him gently lifted up her skirt and turned away with the old housekeeper. The conductor's eyes followed that elegant back until she disappeared into the crowd.
Among the crowd, he reluctantly looked back.
He sighed with some aftertaste, then turned to face the passengers waiting in line behind him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Documents..."
The other party obviously didn't pay attention to queuing up to buy tickets. When he heard the conductor's voice, he looked away from the VIP boarding entrance where the woman disappeared in the distance. He fumbled awkwardly in his pocket and handed some documents and other things.
Impatient conductor.
…
This cruise ship Sofia has never seen before. It is all white and shines in the sun, like a huge palace floating on the sea. It is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance, as if a hill lies across it.
She was extremely shocked in front of Sophia.
The giant cruise ship Sofia took last time was actually the largest and most luxurious ship she could imagine. Its magnificence and complete facilities left a deep impression on Sofia. But the cruise ship docked in front of her today was even bigger.
Even more luxurious, it exudes an aura that cannot be ignored, as if declaring its luxury and extraordinaryness.
The Eastern Continent is no longer safe for her, and the places she used to hide in have now become deadly traps that may expose her. The forces she has worked so hard to manage, and the tentacles hidden in the darkness, will all be destroyed in the future.
The Tang Empire was crushed by iron hooves.
The shadow of the Tang Empire shrouded the entire Eastern Continent, and she knew that she had nowhere to hide. Those shady industries were the foundation for her survival and her capital against Tang Mo. But now, these industries will all
Disintegrate into nothing, her capital chain will be broken, and she will lose all ability to act.
Without money, she can't do anything. She can only watch Tang Mo become stronger and stronger, and eventually completely destroy her world. She is not willing to give up, and she is not willing to give up like this. She still has many things to do, and she wants revenge.
, to avenge Tang Mo, to pull Tang Mo off the altar and let him taste the taste of failure.
She knew that staying in the Eastern Continent would lead to death, and her only hope was to go to the Western Continent and deal with Tang Mo before she exhausted all the power she had secretly accumulated. So she hid her identity once again and put her
His iconic red hair was dyed black, he cut off contact with other fringe subordinates, and prepared to embark on the journey to the Western Continent.
In fact, she knew very well that even if she arrived in the Western Continent, she might not be able to find a way to deal with Tang Mo. Tang Mo was no longer the young man she could control at her disposal. He had grown into the ruler of a huge empire, possessing the power to destroy
The power of heaven and earth. The gap between her and him is like a firefly and a bright moon. They cannot be compared at all.
However, even if the hope is slim, she is not willing to give up. Tang Mo has become a piece of her mind, entangled in her like a tarsal maggot, making it impossible for her to get rid of it. Only by destroying Tang Mo with her own hands can she gain real relief.
, can we get out of the shadow of the past.
Perhaps even she herself didn’t know where this obsession came from and where it would lead her. She only knew that she had to do this, even if she was broken into pieces. So she resolutely embarked on the journey.
She embarked on the journey to the Western Continent to find the illusory hope and complete the almost impossible task. She decided to take the risk and personally solve the nightmare that kept her awake for many nights.
"Oh my god, they can actually build such a big ship." The old butler couldn't help but marvel. He adjusted his reading glasses to see more clearly.
This behemoth moored at the port is all white and shines dazzlingly in the sun. The hull is slender and elegant, like a huge white whale, lying quietly on the sea. There are people coming and going on the pier, and there is a lot of noise.
The sound of the waves and the sound of the waves intertwined together, but they could not cover up the shock in the old man's heart.
Although he boasted that he had seen the world, this was the first time he had seen a giant ship of this size. The old man had traveled to many places with caravans when he was young, and later became a steward of a nobleman and also traveled with his master on many rides.
There were ships, but compared with the giant ship in front of me, those ships were just like toys.
This cruise ship is already very modern, as high as a dozen-story building, and even has a swimming pool and a deck for VIPs, which is why the tickets are so expensive.
After seeing the ship, the old butler finally understood why the ticket was so expensive. After the luggage in his hand was taken over by the well-dressed crew members and led to the VIP cabin, he was even more attracted by it.
The simple style decoration is amazing. Sometimes luxury is not reflected in the carved beams and painted buildings. The extremely simple lines and pure colors can also make people feel the meticulous nobility.
Services, design and decoration... all of these prove to those who pay that you get what you pay for.
Sofia was also amazed by everything in front of her in another room. The soft carpets, simple yet well-designed furniture, and even the automatic temperature-adjusting air conditioner all spoke of the power of money.
She has lived in the jungle for many years and has long been accustomed to the harsh environment. Now she is suddenly in the luxurious cabin of a modern cruise ship. The huge gap makes her feel as if she has traveled through time.
She still remembered that the first time she set foot on the land of the Datang Empire, she was deeply shocked by the prosperity and power there. She had been to the Datang Empire once, and she thought she already understood the Datang Empire.
What kind of monster was he fighting against?
But she never expected that in just a few years, this monster would become even more terrifying, and even become so powerful that it could suffocate her.
For a moment, she even felt fear, the kind of emotion that occurs when an animal faces a powerful existence that cannot be defeated... But this emotion was soon covered up by her anger, and she wanted to destroy everything.
, because all these beautiful things do not belong to her!
"Just wait! I'm here! This time I won't run away, and I won't leave any regrets! I will bury you with my own hands! I will prove to the world... that I! Sophia... is the most beautiful person in the world.
A powerful person!" Muttering in her mouth, Sophia turned on the faucet next to the bathtub. The trickling warm water gathered at the smooth bottom of the bathtub, gradually covering the mirror in front of Sophia with a layer of mist. She withdrew.
Clothes, admiring the hazy self in the mirror, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
