Chapter 54 Mermaid Sea 5(1/3)
Thick fog has been covering the sea, and the light of the sun, moon and stars has been blocked from this sea area. The candlelight in the cabin has never been extinguished. Lan Min can't tell what time it is on the boat, and she doesn't know how long she has slept.
.
The servants brought food, including bread, dairy products, and some meat, but strangely, these foods did not include fish, which is most easily obtained by sea voyage.
After eating, Lan Min tried to leave the room, but the servant stopped him. This meant that on this ship belonging to Duke Lane, he had not yet received permission to move freely, and was equivalent to a prisoner, except that the prison was a little more luxurious.
Lan Min obediently went back from the door, sat on a chair by the window and stared at the gray world outside in a daze. Even so, he could feel that the servant's eyes were always watching his every move.
His presence must be very important to this voyage.
The hidden mirror allows him to travel through the mirror space on all mirror-like objects on the ship, but his body will also disappear in the eyes of these servants.
Duke Lane's ship was very large. When Lan Mo got on the ship, he saw people moving behind some candlelit windows. In addition to Duke Lane's people, there seemed to be other passengers on the ship.
The servants were outside while he was taking a shower, so he could look at the other passengers through the hidden mirror.
Boom, boom——
The knight knocked twice and then entered the house directly. He turned back to the white-haired young man who was lost in the thick fog.
"William." Lan Min called out the knight's name slowly, and his time to learn the dungeon language was about to begin again.
The language barrier is a very troublesome thing. He has never thought about learning a new game in an escape game. He can only lament that the game is rubbish again.
William taught Lan Mo some simple conversations. This teaching did not end until the servant brought the food again.
"You studied very well. We will continue tomorrow." William stood up and said to the white-haired young man who became very happy because of his praise.
William nodded to Lan Min, turned around and left.
But the white-haired young man walked around in front of William and blocked him.
Lan Min used the knowledge that the knight had just taught him and said, "Don't leave."
He took the knight's hand and pointed to the food just brought by the servant, "Let's eat together."
The young man was showing kindness to him, and a smile flashed across the knight's eyes behind the metal mask. He glanced at the food on the table and said to Lan Min, "These things are not enough for the two of us."
The young man was stunned, with a trace of confusion on his face. He looked at the tall knight and said, "Then you eat, but I won't."
The knight couldn't help laughing. He had seen children from poor families and knew the meaning of food. He stopped teasing the young man. He called the servants and asked them to bring more food. Then he sat down and brought a piece of bread.
Stuffed it into the young man's mouth.
"Eat."
Lan Min didn't hesitate and immediately bit into the bread. He understood what the knight just said and knew that more food would be served.
"They are the servants on the ship. If you want to eat, you can tell them." the knight instructed.
The bread was soft and sweet, and Lan Min was very satisfied with the meal. With his eyes bent, he looked at the knight sitting opposite, carefully swallowed the food in his mouth, and said happily, "It's already very good."
The knight wanted to say it was nothing, but he remembered the origin of the young man and swallowed his words again. From his perspective, the food on the ship was just average, but for the young man it was different.
New food was quickly delivered and the table was filled. This time there were also a few bottles of wine requested by the knight.
The knight reached a hand to his chin, took off his helmet and mask, and handed them to the servant next to him.
The knight also had dazzling blond hair. He had a handsome face, a straight nose, and deep and charming green eyes. His face was similar to Duke Ryan's, which made Lan Mo's eyes widen.
"William" the young man looked at the blond knight in surprise. He didn't know how to describe it and stammered, "A fool is not a duke."
The knight told him to call Ryan Duke and not to utter the word "fool" from his mouth again, otherwise he would be severely punished.
When William took off his mask, he thought about the young man's reaction. He smiled helplessly and said, "I am the Duke's brother."
When he said this, he felt a little complicated, remembering that by blood, the young man was also the Duke's brother.
The moment the knight showed his face, the game panel immediately popped up the introduction of the knight.
Name William
Introduction: Duke Lane's cousin and guardian knight, responsible for protecting Duke Lane's safety during this voyage.
Character's voice: Don't hate me because of Ryan.
"Brother." The white-haired young man stared at the knight with his clear eyes and repeated unconsciously.
The knight's heart jumped with the murmur of the white-haired young man, because the young man was facing him, as if calling him. But the next moment, this illusion was broken by another more familiar name.
"William."
The knight came back to his senses and thought to himself what he was thinking about. He calmed down and asked Lan Min on the other side, "What's wrong?"
"Brother" is an unfamiliar word to the white-haired young man. The young man could not understand it and asked stupidly, "What is brother?"
"Brother" was heard again, and the knight's heartbeat jumped again. What he shouted was so nice.
But the word "brother" is very troublesome to explain, because brothers do not exist in young people's lives, and it is difficult to explain it to young people using the simple words they have learned.
Lan Min saw that the expression of the handsome knight opposite him became complicated, and then the knight sighed and said, "You just have to remember."
Lan Min said dumbly and turned his attention to the piece of light yellow cheese on the plate that exuded a sweet smell.
Looking at the white-haired young man who lowered his head, William felt as if he had hit him, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but think that if the old Duke of Normandy recognized the young man as his own, even though there was no blood relationship, according to the relationship between him and the Norman family of this generation, the young man should indeed call him brother.
He wanted to hear the young man call him this way, and he was closer than William.
"I'm your brother too."
The knight suddenly said.
Lan Min, who was concentrating on eating cheese, raised his eyes in surprise, and a question slowly emerged in his heart.
According to the introduction of the copy, he seems to be just the illegitimate son of the old Duke of Normandy.
Lan Min's eyes were fixed on the serious knight, and the knight's face became hot at the sight, and he regretted his impulse in his heart. When the knight could hardly resist Lan Min's tortured gaze, Lan Min lowered his head again and continued to eat from the plate.
The remaining small cakes.
The young man didn't seem to take this seriously. The knight breathed a sigh of relief.
But there was some unexplainable loss, mixed with a sense of shame, and I felt as if I was being deceived.
The heat on his face still did not go away. The knight picked up the wine next to him and poured a glass. When he put it back, he found Lan Min, who was eating a small cake, curiously looking at the red liquid in his glass.
After the embarrassment just now, the knight looked at Lan Min's clear eyes and felt uncomfortable, "Would you like to drink?"
Lan Min nodded immediately.
The knight also poured a glass for Lan Mo. His cousin, the duke, was already an adult. The young man who was born earlier than his cousin must have reached the age to drink. He didn't pour too much, only half, "Have a taste."
Lan Min took a sip, and the sweet and slightly sour taste filled the tip of her tongue.
"Brother." The white-haired young man looked at William who was drinking, "It's very sweet."
Then Lan Mo saw the embarrassment of the knight that he had never shown before. The silver wine glass slipped from his hand and fell into the carpet. The unfinished wine stained the beautiful flower pattern on the carpet.
The knight covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently. He was choked, and red wine flowed out from between his fingers, like blood.
The servants hurriedly gathered around to take care of the knight who was choking on wine. After a long time, the knight recovered and his face turned red.
The young man just called him "brother", but he actually made him so embarrassed.
"Are you leaving?" Lan Min, who was behind the dining table, finished the last piece of cake and tilted his head, watching the knight put on his helmet to cover his red face while trying to stay calm.
"Yes." The knight did not dare to look at Lan Min, his throat rolled, "I want to protect the Duke."
Lan Mo said silently, "Because you are his brother."
The young man seemed to have explained the meaning of "brother" by himself. Because he was the older brother, he had to play a protective role. The knight had no intention of correcting the young man's mistakes. He felt that if he continued to stay here, he would be finished.
Fortunately, this time the young man did not try to stay.
The knight walked to the door and heard the young man's voice behind him.
"Goodbye, brother."
The knight's steps staggered visibly. He couldn't help but turn around and saw the young man lowering his head and eating a small orange after the meal.
Lan Min finished the orange slowly,
Servants came to clear the table.
"Take a bath." Lan Min said to the servant.
This room has a special bathroom. The servants poured hot water and prepared Lan Min's clothes and then stood guard outside the door.
The skill Hidden Mirror has been activated, and you can walk freely in the mirror space.
Countless portals of various shapes appeared in front of Lan Min's eyes.
Lan Mo's figure suddenly disappeared in the bathroom. He flickered in the bathroom mirror and disappeared.
It's not time to rest yet, the lights in all the rooms on the ship are on.
Lan Mo appeared at a window on the second floor. The room to which this window belonged was completely incompatible with the luxury on the third floor. Four men were squeezed into the small room.
They were eating, and everyone's meal consisted of fish. Their yellowed teeth were biting into the pink and white fish meat, and the juice was dripping. Their hands and the floor were covered with fish soup.
Lan Min jumped to another room, where the passengers were also eating fish. Even the fish bones were crunched, swallowed into the stomach, and the juice on his hands was licked clean. Lan Min came to the last room,
To be continued...
