The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

In the past, he was like an ordinary widower, impatient, mean, and narrow-minded.

But after he picked up a baby, Raymond, at the door more than ten years ago, he gradually became cheerful.

Later, I don't know if I was lonely, but I actually found a woman as a companion the year before last.

It was "Bella," a mean widow with three children.

Although the days are bumpy and bumpy, it is not harmonious, but it is also peaceful.

A family of six lives in a steel hut of more than 23 square meters on Rum Street in District 30.

......

Raymond had been kidnapped for three days, and Old Mark waited anxiously for news for three days.

At this moment, Bella, who was a housewife, was a little displeased, and roared to announce her dissatisfaction.

"Mark, it's been a few days, and you still stay at home instead of going to work? Do you want the whole family to starve to death?!"

Old Mark looked worried and listless, and responded: "My little Raymond was captured by pirates, I want to wait for his news..."

"Don't think I don't know what you want to borrow money these days! Let me tell you, those pirates don't look down on just this little money! Don't even think about getting it back!"

Bella put her hands on her hips, her tone was very rude, and she persuaded, "Don't waste your money... Your useless son may have been taken by pirates to feed sharks!"

Mark expected his wife to understand him, but all he got back was disappointment.

He felt that if he didn't get any more news, he couldn't bear it any longer.

Chapter 15 Slums

Old Mark's face was haggard, and decades of heavy physical work had squeezed his life out in advance.

He doesn't look like he's 50, he's 70.

The topic of kidnapping can no longer be discussed, so Bella can only change the subject.

She stretched out her hand, and begged with a look of habit: "Give me three thousand quarks, Ruth and the others are all big girls, and they need a decent dress."

"Didn't you just give them three thousand quarks to buy clothes last month?"

"You know that was last month?"

"..."

Old Mark was a little scared, and just about to get angry, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he said again: "I... have no money."

Hey, little Raymond has always been wearing clothes that have been resized from his work clothes. He has never bought a new suit when he grows up.

But the women in the family have spent more on clothes in the past two years than the two men have spent in more than ten years.

"No money? You can't lie to me!"

Baker became angry when he heard it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I said Mark, don't think I don't know, you also hid a sum of money to buy potions for your son. Mr. Luke from the potions shop doesn't know Having said that, that brat Raymond doesn't have the talent to awaken the extraordinary!"

After a pause, she said again: "Do you know how much money you wasted on the potions you bought for him earlier? If it was given to Little Ruth and the others, maybe our family would already have an extraordinary awakener... "

Old Mark was ashamed and angry, stood up with a swish as if he had been stepped on a cat's tail, and finally broke out: "The money is now a ransom for little Raymond! You can't move a quark!"

"Your useless son was just picked up! My daughter is my own!"

Hearing this, Bella seemed to have been greatly wronged, crying and shouting: "Why should I marry you, you idiot!"

This phrase "wasteless" made old Mark lose the last bit of his dignity as a man.

......

Raymond stood at the door for a while,

He heard the whole process of the quarrel.

No wonder the predecessor had such a deep obsession with this adoptive father, Mark.

He hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.

"Papa Mark, I'm back."

......

Raymond didn't die in the hands of the pirates, but he never thought that he would almost die on the lifeboat.

But fortunately, there is a beautiful little princess by my side,

Of course, the most important thing is her "Grand Duke Philip" father who is the first lord of the Black Sea.

Raymond didn't know what method Archduke Philip used to accurately find them in the vast sea.

But the only certainty is that

The extraordinary ability of this boss is very awesome.

Tsk tsk, the flock of crows covering the sky...

It is worthy of the name of "Night Crow".

......

Raymond suddenly appeared in the room, and Old Mark and Bella were stunned for a moment.

In an instant, the shock in Old Mark's eyes turned into ecstasy and appeared on his face.

"Oh...thank you for the Goddess of the Sea, my little Raymond, you are really back!"

Raymond travels through the memory of his predecessor, and he also has a kind of respect and love for this poor but loving father Mark.

"Well, Papa Mark, don't worry, I'm back."

He looked at the tearful old Mark's father, feeling quite emotional.

If it wasn't for the previous potion advancement failures, the family's financial situation might have been much better.

Seeing his son come back safely, Mark seemed to suddenly look 20 years younger, with a rosy glow on his face.

He patted his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "Oh, I should go to work in the boiler room! It's only noon now, I can still work for half a day, and I can get a hundred quarks!"

One hundred quarks is enough to feed and drink a family of six for two days.

Old Mark was still the mean old boiler man, and he was full of energy again.
