Chapter 126 The boy who once dreamed of slaughtering dragons
The zombie virus is spreading more and more fiercely, and Raymond is also a little worried about old Mark.
Now the city after the 20th district has been isolated, and it has become a paradise for zombies.
If it were in a game, players might be overjoyed because there are several more monster-dense areas and nearly a million zombies, which means a massive amount of experience.
In the game, players have no fear of killing zombies. Even if they are infected and die, they can quickly make up for the lost experience by resurrecting them.
Raymond once had an illusion of killing zombies to gain potential points, but this was the real world after all, and he would be in big trouble if he was infected. He didn't dare to bet on whether vampire blood could be immune to the virus, so he had to give up.
This thought.
There are nearly a million zombies... a little potential point can make all his skills maxed out!
...
The 15th arrondissement is the watershed between aristocratic neighborhoods and civilian neighborhoods. It is also a neighborhood where low-level nobles and super-rich businessmen without titles gather.
Raymond is a territorial baron, and he was assigned a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room here. Although the space is also crowded, it is much larger than the old house in the 23rd District.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Raymond knocked on the door carrying a lot of things.
He estimated that he and Anna would go to sea soon, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.
Perhaps, it will never come back.
Simply coming to see Mark and settling him down can completely put an end to the last obsession left by his predecessor.
Click, the door opens from the inside.
"why you?"
Raymond frowned when he saw that the person who opened the door was Luna.
At this moment, she was wearing a simple long dress and no heavy makeup on her face. She looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Luna didn't expect that it would be Raymond who knocked on the door, and a flash of panic and embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
"Where's Daddy Mark?"
Raymond didn't intend to pay any attention to her and asked indifferently.
Although he had a bad impression of the three sisters, after all, both Ruth and Sissi died in his own hands, and he was relieved for the only surviving "sister". Moreover, they are not from the same world at all now.
He is a human being and is not worth caring about anymore.
"Little Raymond, are you here?"
Even though no one was in sight, Old Mark's rough voice came from the kitchen, "Dad is frying sea fish right now, and we can't spare any time. Come in and sit down for a while, and we'll start dinner soon."
At this moment,
Luna also opened the door for him obediently, and stood aside, as if she were a maid waiting for her master to come home, with her head lowered and not daring to look directly.
Raymond frowned slightly, ignored her, and walked in directly.
When he thought about it, if this woman really dared to have any evil thoughts again, she might as well avoid any trouble this time.
The aroma of vegetables overflowed in the house.
Old Mark knew that Raymond was coming back, so he specially cooked a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Raymond put the things he brought in the locker and sat directly at the dining table. He was the owner of this house, so he didn't need to be polite at all.
Luna, on the other hand, was standing in the corner of the room at a loss, pinching the corners of her clothes and trembling.
Not long after, Old Mark brought out a bowl of golden fried hairtail. The aroma was immediately fragrant and greatly increased people's appetite.
"Hey, Daddy Mark is very good at his craftsmanship."
"Of course, this is the famous dish 'Golden Moray' that I asked the palace chef for advice on when we were on a large ship..."
"Have you ever been on a big ship with a royal chef?"
"It's not just...this Black Sea, there are not many places that I haven't been to when I was young."
"hehe..."
Raymond knew that old Mark's habit of bragging had returned.
But at this moment, he saw the fat woman slowly walking out of the kitchen, and her relaxed expression suddenly froze.
This fat woman is clearly the embarrassed Bella.
Old Mark also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, laughed dryly, and explained: "Aunt Bella saw that Dad was lonely living alone, so she moved here..."
Raymond glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
This kind of vicious woman is really haunting her. She may have seen her become a noble and move to the 15th district, but she will follow her here shamelessly.
Bella, who had lost two women, seemed to have her energy completely flattened. She looked at Raymond and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, little Raymond...I did something wrong in the past. Can you please forgive me?"
Raymond didn't intend to pay attention to her, and he picked up a piece of eel and put it in his mouth to chew.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward.
He is now a baron and the owner of the house, and everything now belongs to him.
He also has the absolute right to tell this fat woman to get out of this room immediately.
Bella probably also realized that she had done too many evil things in the past and could not be forgiven at all. She was rare and did not get angry. Instead, she was as docile as a bereaved dog. She said with a gloomy expression: "Since we, mother and daughter, are not welcome here, then let's leave.
Goodbye...bye, Mark."
With that said, I was really ready to pack my things and leave.
Raymond was unmoved, he knew that this fat woman was probably a trick of the envoy.
Sure enough, Old Mark on the side immediately pulled her, sat down at the dinner table, and said, "We are all a family, where are we going!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Raymond with a pleading look on his face and said, "Little Raymond, what do you think?"
Although Raymond hates Bella, a vicious fat woman. But after losing her two daughters, her aura does not feel so domineering. The most important thing is... old Mark seems to still have deep feelings for her.
.He has been lonely for most of his life, so it would be nice to have someone to keep him company.
If you still have some thoughts, just kill him again.
Thinking of this, Raymond didn't care and said calmly: "Dad Mark, it's up to you to decide."
Hearing this, Old Mark smiled happily. Like a child asking for credit, he happily said to Bella: "Let me just say, my little Raymond is the kindest person in the world."
Seeing this scene, although Bella's expression was still awkward, she also relaxed.
At this time, Old Mark saw Luna standing by the door, and greeted with the same joy: "Luna, why are you still standing? Come and eat together?"
But as soon as he said the words, he also found that Luna's expression was strange. Her eyes seemed to glance at Raymond from time to time, with a hint of fear.
Mark and Bella obviously didn't know about it, and it seemed that Luna was also very sensible and didn't tell him about killing the two Ruth sisters. Raymond didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad, so he said calmly: "You come here too.
eat."
After hearing this, Luna felt like she was being pardoned.
She came over, carefully sat down at the table, and there were four people at the table, so she started eating in anger and embarrassment.
"Come and try dad's craftsmanship..."
Old Mark kept picking up food for Raymond. He felt that this period was the most glorious moment in his life.
He still remembered that when he moved, the co-workers who had been with him for decades were all extremely envious. When they heard that little Raymond had become a noble, they almost swallowed up all their compliments.
clean,
Of course, it's a pity that he can no longer show off to his old friends in District 23.
This fifteenth district is like a paradise on earth. It has the best quality food, the most complete shops, the cleanest and spacious streets. The most important thing is that it is very safe. You no longer have to worry about being robbed by dirty bandits when you go out at night.
.
Flowers that used to cost a lot of money are actually planted casually on the roadside here, and no one has picked them yet... There are clinics on every street with doctors and beautiful nurses... Also, those dressed in
The aristocratic women in gorgeous clothes are really beautiful. He can guarantee that any one of them is more beautiful than all the women in District 23...
It is a pity that the lord announced that the maritime railway has been cut off, and ships can no longer travel. Many people in the territory know that several blocks have been quarantined due to the plague, but no one knows how serious the epidemic is.
Old Mark is still thinking about going back to visit those old friends when the quarantine is lifted.
...
After dinner, Luna helped clear the table.
She wanted to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but old Mark asked him to stay in the living room to cultivate the relationship between brother and sister.
But he didn't know that when she and Raymond were the only ones left in the room, the atmosphere would become even more awkward.
Luna didn't dare to sit down, so she stood alone in the corner, like a prisoner waiting to be punished.
"come here."
Finally, Raymond couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere and spoke.
When Luna heard this, she panicked for a moment and walked over quickly, fearing that she would make him unhappy if she was too slow. In her opinion, she was the only one in the family who knew about Raymond's terror.
The unpopular young man is actually a real devil who kills without blinking an eye.
Not only did he kill Ruth and Sissi, but I heard that he also killed a big noble!
She thought about the conversation between the two in front of the library, and felt a little scared. How could she be so stupid at that time, listen to other people's deceptions, and go out in public to pay money and beg for mercy?
Obviously someone was taking advantage of me, I was so stupid!
Could it be that he is going to kill me now too?
Even though Luna was trembling with fear, she didn't dare to show any signs of strangeness, so she just stood by the table honestly.
At this time, she watched Raymond take out a test tube containing a black potion, and her heart skipped a beat!
Is this...could it be poison?
Is he planning to poison me?
If I don't drink, will he kill me immediately...
Boundless fear struck Luna's heart. The moment she saw the potion, her legs softened and she knelt on the ground. She said: "Please... please, let me go..."
I really didn’t know this time, and I won’t dare to do it again..."
"stand up!."
Raymond said coldly, he didn't expect that such a move of his would actually frighten her like this. He also didn't want old Mark to guess too much after seeing this scene.
Hearing this command-like tone, Luna immediately stood up slowly holding on to the legs of the table, no matter how scared she was. She tried her best to stop her legs from shaking and wanted to stand up straight, but she found that she couldn't
Can't do it.
Are you really going to die...
Just when she was extremely desperate, she suddenly heard Raymond say: "This 60% pure potion should be enough to allow you to advance to the extraordinary level."
What?
This is not poison, but a supernatural potion?
Luna's expression was shocked instantly. She looked at the potion, and then at Raymond's expression. Her fear turned into a surprise for the rest of her life. He could kill her easily, and he would definitely not deceive her with the poison.
.
Raymond then said calmly: "After you advance to transcendence, take good care of old Mark... I can give it to you, and of course I can take it back. If you let me know what other little thoughts you have, I will definitely not hesitate.
I will kill you."
"yes..."
Luna was so frightened that she nodded.
The cold word "kill" made her heart tremble.
Only then did she realize that she had taken advantage of old Mark.
Old Mark moved to the 15th arrondissement, and he could no longer work as a boiler worker. This was an aristocratic neighborhood, and there was no stable income to match, and the future would be very difficult. Raymond originally planned to leave a place for old Mark.
Money, but now it seems that if Luna really changes her mind, it would be good to have such an extraordinary person in the family, at least she won't have to worry about her future life.
Raymond saw that he hadn't taken the potion for a long time, pushed the test tube over, and said, "You only have one chance, take advantage of it."
"knew."
Luna was speechless with excitement. She didn't expect that after they had insulted and made things difficult for him in every possible way before, Raymond would actually give her the potion regardless of their previous grudges?
At this time, Mark Sr. and Bella also finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen.
Luna immediately wiped away her tears and hid the potion in her sleeve.
Old Mark saw something was wrong with Luna's expression. He glanced at Raymond and said, "Little Raymond, come to the balcony with me and I'll tell you what's going on."
Raymond thought that Old Mark would ask about the tears on Luna's face, but he didn't expect that was not the case at all.
...
The scenery of this small building is very good. The balcony at the back of the house faces the sea directly, with a wide view. Breathing the sea breeze and watching the soaring seabirds in the distance makes people relax unconsciously.
Old Mark took out his pipe from his pocket, filled it with tobacco, lit it, and took a sip.
As soon as the faint smoke ring took shape, a sea breeze blew and disappeared in an instant.
"Little Raymond, are you ready to go on a long voyage?"
Raymond glanced at Mark, not intending to hide it from him, "How do you know?"
The view from the balcony is extremely wide, with steaming clouds and rosy clouds in the distance, as well as the sea and sky. Several steam cruise ships of huge tonnage slowly passed by, leaving long waves on the sea.
Old Mark said melancholy: "Because... Dad was once as young as you. Seeing that you bought so many things today, I know that you have grown up and want to go out and see the outside world.
Already."
After a pause, he continued to ask: "When are you going to sail?"
Raymond said: "I haven't decided yet, it will be in these three or two months."
"oh."
Old Mark seemed a little sad, but disappeared.
He took several puffs of the cigarette and blew out the smoke ring, as if all the worrying things had really disappeared as the smoke ring dissipated.
After a long while, he suddenly said: "Little Raymond, if you have the opportunity to go to the royal capital in the future, bring a message to a certain lady for me. Of course, maybe she is no longer there..."
"Bring a message?"
When Raymond heard this, he was a little confused. Did Old Mark still have an old acquaintance in the capital?
However, he had never seen such a lost expression on old Mark's face.
"If you can, find a lady named 'Avalis Belle'. Her family used to run a jewelry store. Maybe she changed her name after getting married. Just in case...if you can't find it, forget it. If you find it,
Well...just tell her that the cowardly sailor didn't keep the appointment because he failed to advance to the extraordinary..."
As Old Mark spoke, his turbid eyes gradually became moist, not sure whether it was because of the smoke or the sea breeze.
It turns out that everyone has been young, and everyone has had that high-spirited age. Even the little old man in front of me, who has been dealing with boilers for half his life, was once a high-spirited young man who wanted to slay the dragon!
Raymond listened to old Mark telling the story of his youth for the first time,
Back then, a young man who was a sailor on a large ship met a rich girl by chance. The two met and fell in love, leaving a romantic and beautiful memory. However, the rich girl's family definitely did not want her to marry an unknown sailor and tried every means to obstruct this love.
...The young man didn't want anyone to suffer with him, so he refused her invitation to elope...At that time, he vowed to become a powerful transcendent and then come back to marry her.
He said, when I advance to transcendence, I will come and marry you openly.
She said, I'll wait for you.
This separation lasts most of my life.
After all, God's will played a trick on people, and the young man failed to advance to the extraordinary level many times, and his pride was completely wiped out by the repeated failures.
He thought that after so many years, it was time for that girl to get married.
The young man had no shame in going to the capital to see that girl again, so he left for another place and found a job as a boilermaker, working in a decadent manner for thirty years.
It turns out that the adventure stories that old Mark always talked about were not bragging.
When I was young,
He really went on a long sea voyage,
Measure this vast sea with your feet.
He was once a young man with a dream of sailing,
Just like Raymond is now.
...
A few days passed by,
finally,
The descendants of Sodros arrived in Philip's territory.
