Chapter 115

"My Lord, fog island is right ahead!"

A few hours later, almost towards evening, Chen Gou standing in the bow saw a huge outline in front of him gradually appear on the sea level.

Fog island is worthy of its name. The whole island is shrouded in a top-down fog, full of mystery, and people feel a fear of facing the unknown.

After the ship landed, a young man in gorgeous clothes and more than a dozen attendants went on board to meet him at the first time.

"Locke, the son of the Lord of fog city, was ordered by his father to meet the abyss knight. His father couldn't come in person because he was ill. I hope you will forgive me."

When the young man saw Chen Gou on the deck, he greeted him flatly and courteously, and couldn't find any fault.

Chen Gou didn't care about these, nodded and said with a smile, "don't be so polite. I'm Lord Huadao. We're still neighbors. You're several years older than me. Just call my name in the future."

"No, at least not in public." Locke, with red hair and blue eyes, smiled and looked obviously relaxed. He was afraid that the Knights sent them a knight with strange character and hard to talk.

"Sir, we have arranged the accommodation. The best guest room in the city Lord's residence, including the maid, is also the best. Would you like to take a bath and rest for a while before the dinner starts?"

This is the custom of local entertaining knights. Whether Knights need it or not, they must make the most comprehensive arrangements.

Otherwise, if a knight is not satisfied, it will be a great trouble for their little Lords.

The abyss knights are a little better. If it is the trial Knights of aristocratic families, there are few to talk about.

"Forget the dinner. I'm not here to play."

Chen Gou waved his hand and said, "nuonan, a member of our long song team, has a brother named Norton. Do you know where he lives?"

"Norton?" Locke repeated the name with a puzzled face.

Behind him, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper whispered, "young master, I know, but..."

"But what?" Locke said discontentedly, "just finish what you have to say. Don't dally."

The housekeeper looked at Chen Gou and said helplessly, "you'll know when you go to see it."

Chen Gou Deng frowned. Generally, this must be a very bad life, otherwise there is no need to hesitate.

But Chen Gou didn't say anything and motioned the housekeeper to lead the way.

After the party got off the boat, Chen Gou left only the housekeeper and Locke to follow, and the rest went straight back.

During his mission, he didn't like the feeling of a group of people following him.

The streets of Wucheng are full of ancient flavor. Many buildings are built very atmospheric, which is the standard of a big city. It can be seen that they have been prosperous before, but they are obviously declining now.

But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, which is much better than Huadao.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Chen Gou came to a wide street and walked towards a magnificent house. It was obviously a place for rich and powerful people.

But under the appearance of relative prosperity, there is also decline and poverty.

Stray dogs were turning over the garbage in the corner. The scabby beggars groaned and looked at the passing crowd.

A group of people gathered in front of a house at the end of the street.

In the middle of the crowd was a skinny teenager, who looked like an old man at the age of thirteen or fourteen. His shaggy hair was more messy than the chicken nest. He was kneeling on the ground and pleading with a big bellied man.

"Housekeeper Jimmy, please add some more. There are more than a dozen rooms in half of the ancestral house of my Nuo family. How can it be worth only 30 coins?"

"Master Norton, you're wrong. I've offered the highest price in the whole fog city. If you don't believe me, go and ask, who else can offer a higher price?"

The big bellied Jimmy glanced around his head. Everyone couldn't help moving away from him as soon as they made contact with him. They didn't dare to look at each other, let alone say a higher price.

In fact, even if foggy Island declines again, the mansion with more than a dozen houses must be far more than 30 coins.

But the reason why no one dared to bid was because Jimmy's main family had a knight to judge the Knights. His family made it clear that they wanted to buy and sell. Who dared to stand out?

Young Norton saw that the people around him were indifferent and even showed disgust and schadenfreude. He knew that no one would help him.

Then suddenly there was a late pain on his face, tears and snot all came down at once, and then climbed up to Jimmy with both hands and feet, kowtowed and begged: "housekeeper Jimmy, please... Please give me ten more coins, just ten, I promise... I promise I won't find you again, just the last ten!"

"Hey!"

Jimmy, with a big belly, pretended to sigh: "master Norton, at least your family was once a superior family on fog Island, and your sister was a former abyss knight. How could you degenerate into such a waste? I've watched you grow up. I really feel worthless for your sister."

"No! I'm not a waste! I can't shame my sister..."

Young Norton suddenly fought, and a violent struggle flashed in his eyes.

But soon he cried with tears and snot: "I can't do it. Please give me ten more crystal coins, or just give me a dose of magic soul powder. I really can't do it..."

While talking, his fingers kept scratching and scratching all over his body, and soon there were blood stains everywhere, but he ignored it, as if he had to turn over all the skin and flesh to be comfortable.

"Hey! The child is completely abandoned."

"Few people can carry the awakening of magic soul powder, let alone an ordinary child."

"The Nuo family is also too miserable. The most outstanding daughter died in the war. The original clever and sensible son was framed and became addicted to drugs. He not only lost all his family property, but also the aunt who raised them died of anger..."

"There's no way. Four people in the surprise long song team, including nuonan, died in the war. It's said that another captain abandoned himself and became a living dead man. But if there is another one who can take charge, Norton won't become like this."

The onlookers couldn't help but sigh and feel heartache for the experience of the Nuo family, but there was nothing they could do.

The origin of the grievances between the Nuo family and the Warren family next door can be traced back to the previous generation.

Now nuonan is dead, the Nuo family has lost its pillar, and the Warren family is in the limelight. Who dares to touch this bad luck?

When Jimmy, the housekeeper of the Warren family, saw that everyone around him was submissive to him, he became more and more satisfied. He took out a few coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

"For the sake of neighbors, I'll give you ten more coins. It's like sending a dog. Pick it up and get out!"

"Well, thank you, housekeeper Jimmy..."

Young Norton was ecstatic and lay on the ground to pick up crystal coins.

But a pair of feet in leather boots suddenly appeared in his sight. The soles of the feet fell on the coins. As soon as the ankles were twisted, they crushed all the coins into powder.

"What are you doing?"

Young Norton was furious. His eyes were red. He raised his head like a hungry wolf and stared at the man in front of him.

If it weren't for the remaining reason to tell him that he would never be able to fight, I'm afraid he would have jumped up and swallowed it alive.

Chen Gou looked down at him and asked expressionless, "I only give you one chance to seriously answer me. Do you still want to stand up and live like a person and avenge your sister nuonan?"

The boy looked at the man who seemed not much bigger than himself, but made him feel great pressure like a strict father, and suddenly calmed down.

Thinking of his sister nuonan, he looked ashamed, and tears of great regret and humiliation flowed out of his eyes.

"Waste, what are you crying about?" Chen Gou slapped him and directly doubled his face. He shouted angrily, "tell me, do you want to?"

The boy was obviously blindfolded by this slap and stood still. Even the pain of drug addiction seemed to be forgotten temporarily.

"Waste, what else can you do except cry? How can nuonan have a brother like you? No wonder he will die. It is estimated that he has a false name..."

Chen Gou slapped his backhand again, making the other half of his face swollen.

"Don't you despise my sister, and... I'm not a waste!" Young Norton finally broke out, roared like a little tiger, and there was a sharp look in his eyes.

"If you're not a waste, tell me, do you want to?"

"Yes! I dream!"

Young Norton clenched his fist, and his fingernails were inserted into the meat. The blood flowed out in an instant, and tears came out of his eyes again: "but I can't quit, I really can't quit..."

Chen Gou calmed down, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "as long as you still want to, everyone will make mistakes, and you still have a chance to correct..."

He naturally knows how difficult it is to get rid of drugs, not to mention being a child.

If the child can quit, it's not worth his special trip, which can be regarded as maintaining the reputation of the long song team.

But if the child can't quit, then... Let him go to see his sister early so as not to suffer in the world.

"Hey! Where did you come from? Who let you mind your own business?"

Several strong men suddenly rushed out of the crowd and looked at Chen Gou with an unhappy face.

The first of them was a man in a vest. When he came up, he pointed to Chen Gou's nose and said, "look at the dough. It's from outside. I advise you not to mind your own business. You can't afford to wade in this muddy water!"

These people are local ruffians raised by the housekeeper Jimmy. They are usually responsible for helping him do things that can't be seen in the light.

This is when they come in handy. Of course Jimmy won't do it himself.

"It's you!"

Just then, young Norton suddenly became excited, pointed to these people and shouted, "you lied to me to drink a glass of water and let me get phantom soul powder! It's you!!"

"Master Norton, you can eat freely, but you can't talk nonsense. When did we frame you? Do you have any evidence?"

The man in the vest scoffed: "you are greedy for pleasure, weak will, lost all your family property, angry aunt, and you live worse than a dog. You want to put all the responsibility on others? I haven't seen such a shameless person as you at a young age."

Young Norton was so angry and anxious that his chest fluctuated violently.
