Headshot Wizard - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 The Game

“Huh!” In the gloomy cabin, the candlelight on the table swayed gently with the slightly turbulent boat.

Lance gently put a thin book back into the small box.

“Introduction to Abyssal Language, I have already done it.” Lance rubbed his numb temples. These days, because he has a lot of free time on the boat, he has strengthened his learning of basic knowledge, and the language aspect is The most in need of remedy.

At this time, it had been seven days since the Queen Lisa had left the port of Runaway City. During these seven days, everything was very peaceful. Lance spends most of the time quietly hiding in the cabin to study and exercise, so there is basically no intersection with other people. Even for the meal, a sailor sent him to his room alone.

This shows that although the old butler has booked him a cargo ship’s position, but the shipping fee paid to Jason is certainly not low.

As for the two cousins who lived in the two rooms opposite him, Lance hadn’t seen each other very much either. This is Lance’s favorite rhythm of life.

The weather has always been sunny. In the words of Captain Jason, the weather has been too good these days, and the wind direction has been beneficial to them. At this rate, at most one week, they will be able to safely arrive at the port of Lindong Port, a large northern city.

…

“Fox, did you write down all the books I asked you to scan?” Lance asked in his heart while standing up to move his muscles and bones.

“The books you ordered to scan have been recorded in different categories.” The fox quickly replied: “If you want to open these materials, you only need to check the name of the materials.”

After all, a series of data names flashed immediately before Lance’s right eye:

[Spirit Fox Swordsmanship], [White Fang Swordsmanship (Incomplete)], [Introduction to Abyssal Language], [Abyssal Language Advanced], [Abyssal Language Advanced], [Abyssal Language Master]…

Looking at these materials, Lance couldn’t help but smile. When he was still studying in the Moonlight Tower, Lance would ask Amman to borrow some precious magic books from time to time. Although Amman didn’t know what Lance’s idea was, he basically allowed him to borrow them.

Lance’s so-called borrowing, of course, was just a casual glance, and then let the fox record it in different categories, so that you can read it whenever you want.

Who knows that these actions at that time played a very important role. After the Moonlight Tower is closed, Lance will not be able to borrow these books.

There are not many magic books in Amman’s collection. There are about 20 or 30 books, basically in the fox’s inventory.

“At least you can learn the language system of Abyssal Language to be proficient.”

Lance twisted his neck. Due to long-term reading and meditation, his body was prone to poor blood circulation. He thought about it for a while, anyway, he has finished the first part of Abyssal Language, so it would be nice to relax a little bit.

So he opened the door, ready to walk to the deck to blow the sea breeze.

The speed of ships in this world is not fast. The Queen Lisa is similar in structure to the sixteenth-century three-masted sailing ship in the previous life of Reims, and basically needs to be driven by wind.

It was about three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun was on the left hand side of Reims because the ship was traveling along the coastline from south to north.

As soon as he walked onto the deck, he heard a sweet voice saying unwillingly: “It’s lost again! Madil, you can’t let me!”

Lance turned his head somewhat unexpectedly, and found that the pair of cousins from the City Lord’s Mansion were playing chess, and several idle sailors gathered there curiously, watching them fight each other.

The speaker is Vera, who is said to be the youngest daughter of the lord of the city running.

Madir smiled, put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said triumphantly: “Little Vera, your cousin, I am the champion of the Rushing City [Cube] Contest. If you win easily, wouldn’t you be better than Everyone in Runliu City must be great?”

Vera snorted, frowned her cute eyebrows, and said unhappy: “No more fun!”

After that, the girl stood up and walked to the other side of the deck, just standing side by side with Lance.

Madir seemed to be in a good mood. After calling Vera a few times without getting a reply, he actually invited a sailor whom he could not afford on weekdays to accompany him to play chess.

The sailors were flattered at once, and a few of them gave a shoving, pushing a clever looking guy to sit in Vera’s position.

Seeing this picture, the girl couldn’t help but snorted heavily.

Lance was funny in his heart. When Madil played chess, his six relatives did not recognize him, and even his cousin refused to let go.

He has also heard of this Rubik’s Cube, and it is said to be a very popular game among the nobles of Running City nowadays. The rules are not complicated, but it is difficult to learn for a while.

Those sailors were all hard-working people who grew up in the slums, and they had never seen this kind of game that nobles could afford to play. Under Maadier’s explanation, they hurriedly learned the rules of the game and went shirtless. As a result, they were naturally killed by their big cousin and lost their helmets and armor, and were embarrassed.

“Hey, lost again!” The sailor shook his head and stood up with a sigh.

Madir is more and more courageous in the war, it seems to him, abuse of food is a very fun thing in general. One sailor lost, and the other immediately made up.

In just ten minutes, those four or five sailors were all abused, and no one could support ten rounds.

On the deck, more and more sailors gathered and watched the game with relish.

…

“I heard Captain Jason say that you are Mr. Lance, aren’t you?”

On the other side of the deck, the girl Vera took the initiative to speak to Lance.

Lance leaned back against the railing and nodded slightly: “Hello, Miss Vera.”

Vera blushed, and immediately gathered up her courage and asked: “Then you can play Rubik’s Cube?”

Lance smiled and shook his head: “We are in the countryside, but there is no such game.”

The girl was suddenly disappointed. She watched Madil and others killing her with great joy, and said bitterly, “My cousin is so annoying! He didn’t even give me a plate! I really want someone to come.” Teach him a lesson.”

Lance smiled blankly in his heart, but he didn’t want to get involved, and immediately said: “Obviously, I don’t have the ability. It’s not good to stand on the deck for a long time. I suggest you don’t stand for too long.”

After that, he took a step forward and walked back to the cabin.

Vera was stunned. Lance’s attitude made her feel strange. In her impression, no man could leave himself so indifferently after knowing his identity. Here it is!

“This guy is also a weirdo.” The girl looked at Lance’s back disappearing on the deck, showing a look of curiosity.

…

The next day, when Lance went to the deck to breathe again, he was shocked to find that his big cousin’s Rubik’s Cube seemed to have become popular on the ship.

They set up a table on the deck, and many sailors who had nothing to do were onlookers. And the old god Madil was sitting on one side of the ground, and on the other side was the sailor who was sitting challenging.

Lance inquired, only to realize that Madil was bored and had regarded playing chess as the only pastime on the boat. The difference from yesterday is that starting from this morning, sailors who want to play Rubik’s Cube with their big cousin must follow suit.

In other words, this is already gambling.

The cost of each challenge is five small gold coins, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth for poor sailors. But if Madir loses, he will lose to the challenger a full 100 small gold coins. This moment immediately stimulated the nerves of the sailors, and the number of people who signed up for the challenge immediately increased.

“From morning till now, Mr. Madil has won a full sixteen people. Our sailors are not wealthy. If this continues, the guys who have lost the red eye may have to borrow money to continue to challenge.” The old sailor reluctantly explained to Lance, “Although Captain Jason has always ordered the prohibition, there have been gambling on the ship in the past, but it is definitely not such an exaggeration.”

“This time, I look at those guys, I’m afraid they will all lose their pants.”

The sensible old sailor sighed, then turned and went to work.

Lance frowned, watching Madir continue to kill the Quartet, suddenly feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

Who knows that at this moment, maybe he won money and got cramps, and no other sailor made it up for a while. Namadil stretched out, and actually smiled at Lance: “Mr. Lance, I heard that you are also a nobleman in Running City, why don’t you come and play?”

Vera, who was sitting aside enjoying the sun and reading, immediately frowned and said, “Madil, you have played for so long and won so much money, but don’t you stop? If you let your father know about it, I’m afraid you won’t do it again in the future. Want to touch Rubik’s Cube!”

Mardil immediately smiled flatteringly: “Little Vera, after getting off the shore, I will take you to Lindong Port to buy fun things! Lindong Port is my site, don’t you want me to take you to have fun for a while? ”

Vera snorted and did not continue to speak.

“Hey, Mr. Lance, don’t you know how to play?” Madil continued to look at Lance, and asked maliciously: “I heard that you country nobles are almost like ordinary civilians. Entertainment activities are very limited…”

“By the way, isn’t it the first time you have heard of Rubik’s Cube?”

Lance came over, looked at Madir seriously, and said: “I really don’t know how to play Rubik’s Cube.”

The big cousin’s eyes immediately showed a deep contempt.

“Miss Vera, if you don’t mind, can you explain the rules for me?” Lance said.

“Huh?” Vera on the side suddenly showed a look of surprise.

“I want to challenge Mr. Madil.” After that, Lance put five delicate little gold coins on the table.

The sailors who had just wanted to disperse were immediately shocked when they heard the words, and gathered again.

(There are still things, still update early, and ask for a recommendation ticket by the way)
