Chapter 379 Acquaintance

Ding. * Jing·Wu\Xiao~Tax′Wang· ￠More_Xin￠Drunk￠All!

The gold coin flew up quickly. Klein stretched out his hands to catch it, then raised his hands to show Edward:

"The other side."

Edward smiled and said, "It looks like we'll have to travel together for a while."

At this time, accompanied by laughter, those women dressed like noble ladies came out together. Some of them rushed to the edge of the deck to look at the sea in the distance, some found a place to sit down and rest, and a few spotted the lovely Lilith and surrounded her.

Aldridge and his companions were scattered around, looking warily at everyone passing by. When he saw Klein, he nodded slightly and greeted him.

Seeing this, Klein asked in confusion, "Strange."

"What's wrong?"

"According to my understanding, hiring bodyguards when going out to sea is more about dealing with possible pirates, but these bodyguards seem to be wary of everyone on the ship?" He glanced at the two people sitting and drinking not far away, "Those two are also wearing other people's bodyguards, but they are obviously much more relaxed."

"This... maybe it's because their employers are all women. After all, there are too many people on the ship to do anything."

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility..."

Just as he said this, Klein raised his eyebrows and uttered a sound of "Someone is looking at us."

"who?"

"It's the two ladies sitting over there. They seemed to start looking this way as soon as they got on the deck."

Edward chuckled and said, "Hey, maybe the face you made is too handsome and makes them feel aroused."

"...I don't know if it's swaying or not, but I think they're looking at you."

"???"

He turned his head and met the gaze of two women. Although they were called "ladies", they were actually in their twenties. They were just dressed gorgeously and their words and deeds revealed the temperament of aristocrats.

The two girls met Edward's gaze for a while, then suddenly whispered to each other and laughed. One of them even waved at Edward. .w·o*d+e?s+cw?..c\o\m.

Klein's eyes were not right at that time: You are not a simple boy. It is not enough to have Miss Justice at home, but you are actually hooking up with other women outside?

Edward felt wronged: I don't even know them!

At this time, the two women actually walked over together. The girl who greeted them smiled and said, "Little brother, long time no see."

Edward hesitated and said, "...Have we met somewhere before?"

They laughed. "Don't you remember? It was in the private soup restaurant run by Ms. Akasha. When she brought you in, we were resting there."

"ah?"

Another girl teased, "Does it mean you don't recognize us because we're wearing clothes?"

Klein: "???" —Miss Justice, I want to report it!

Edward then realized that he had only met them once. If he had not become a Beyonder and his memory had not been greatly improved, he would not have been able to remember them.

"Oh, it's you guys?"

To prevent Klein from thinking too much, Edward quickly explained to him. But a new question came up: Why would a man like you go to a hot spring shop that is only for women?

"Are you going on vacation this time?"

The two women smiled and said, "Yes, Backlund is getting colder and colder. We are going to Dixie Bay for vacation."

"It's not just a vacation. If you feel happy living there, you may not come back to Backlund."

Edward glanced at the other women who were scattered in the distance and asked, "Why are you traveling together? And... without a male companion."

"We are women of the new era. Isn't it just a vacation? Why do we need men to accompany us for such a thing?"

"That's... okay."

"Where are you going, little brother?"

Edward shrugged: "I... have no purpose, just wandering around. \Novel+C?M,S, ?Growing?Core\Drunk~All¨"

"Then do you want to go to Disi Bay with us?"

"…Let's talk about it later."

Edward said, and suddenly asked curiously: "Hey? This White Agate seems to be going to Bayam. Why do you want to take it to Disi Bay?"

"The tickets to Disi Bay have been sold out. We will first arrive at Damir Port and then transfer to the ship to Disi Bay."

At this time, Aldridge, who had been standing not far away, came over and said, "Ladies, it's time to go back for lunch."

"Okay, you wanna eat with us?"

"There are beautiful ladies at this table~"

Just as Edward was about to speak, he saw Bernadette walking towards him at the railing in front of him. She was dressed as if they were meeting for the first time, wearing an old-fashioned, simple dress and an old leather hat.

As if looking at the scenery, gazing into the distance.

Damn, if I hadn't felt your gaze just now, I would have really believed it - do you really not trust your old father?

Edward complained to himself and said to them, "We just ate, so we won't bother you."

"Okay, then you must come to dinner~"

The two women turned around and walked away, but after two steps one of the brown-haired women turned back and said, "By the way, my name is Olivia and she is Sophia."

Edward coughed, "Klein."

Klein: "???"

After the two women returned to the cabin with the other ladies, Aldridge came over and said, "Mr. Klein, do you know the two ladies just now?"

Klein: "…"

Edward said: "It's not that we know each other, we just met once."

Aldridge was obviously disappointed, "Okay, excuse me."

Klein rushed forward, grabbed Edward's neck and shook him, "Tell me! Do you often use my name to do this kind of thing outside?"

"No~ I was just joking with you in front of you."

"My lifelong reputation."

"No you didn't."

At this time, Lilith's voice came: "Edward, what are you doing?"

Klein let go of his hand and said, "I'm just kidding."

He turned his head to look at Lilith and was stunned. "What's wrong with you?"

Lilith's face was now covered with lipstick marks and wrinkled. She said angrily, "Just now, a few women suddenly ran over to me and hugged me and kissed me, but Miss Lilith couldn't hit them. It was so annoying."

Edward pulled her to him and wiped the lipstick marks off her face. "Next time you encounter something like this, call me and I'll save you."

"Okay~"

Klein said faintly, "You want to go for her."

...

Backlund, the luxurious villa of Count Hall's family.

Audrey did not see Edward off this time because he was traveling with Mr. World. If she went to say goodbye to him at this time, it would be too hypocritical. After all, in Mr. World's eyes, Edward was a traveler, and it would only take a moment for him to return to Backlund.

Audrey sat in the restaurant, holding a cup of hot coffee, took a sip, and let the light coffee aroma spread between her teeth.

Earl Hall, who had a rare break, ate lunch while reading the newspaper. However, the newspapers in recent days were dull, mostly containing gossip about aristocrats and trivial matters.

Only a few days have passed since the smog incident, but we have already seen related reports on various channels. It is obvious that the higher-ups are deliberately exerting pressure.

As for what happened outside Backlund, there was no report of it from beginning to end, as if it had never happened.

Lord Hall put down his newspaper and said, "Is the ship Edward is on already sailing?"

Audrey glanced at the clock and said, "Well, it's been a while since we left."

She asked, "Dad, the king has been looking for you frequently these days. Is there something wrong?"

"Stablize."

Earl Hall said calmly, "What he wants now is only stability, stabilizing the political situation, stabilizing the army, and stabilizing relations with Feysac and other countries."

Audrey nodded in understanding: "What do you think, Dad?"

"The big ship of Rune has been damaged, and there are more than one place that is damaged."

Earl Hall thought for a moment and said, "The reason why it was broken in the first place was entirely because the king let it go. He seemed to have some intentions and plans. Now, when the ship is about to sink, he starts to get anxious again."

"As for what I think, it's not important anymore. When Alfred comes back in a few days, we will decide whether the Hall family should stay or go."

At this point he looked at his daughter and asked, "Did Edward say anything?"

"Him?" Audrey pursed her lips and smiled. "He knows nothing about politics. The only advice he gave me was... to cling to the Church of Evernight tightly, that is, to have a good relationship with the Church of Evernight."

Lord Hall nodded, thoughtfully.

After lunch, Audrey accompanied her mother for a walk in the garden for a while. When her mother was tired, Audrey returned to the bedroom.

At this time, the maid Anne came in and handed an invitation to Audrey, "Miss, this is the invitation someone just gave you."

"who?"

"Viscount Glint."

Audrey opened the invitation, which had a very official message:

"Miss Audrey Hall, you are cordially invited to attend the salon at 13 Ansomnia Street in the Hilton District the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Audrey put down the invitation and said with a smile, "Grelint has not been affected by these series of events at all."

Susie came out from the corner, "Are you going?"

"Well, I still have to attend normal social activities. I can also learn about Backlund's current situation from those noble children."

...

Life on the ship was dull and long. Klein experienced this firsthand on the second day on board. After the initial curiosity and excitement, this voyage was filled with seemingly endless boredom.
