Personality V: I will save everything
Chapter 16 First Mate
This is so bad, nothing worse can happen.
First Mate José Baden was once well known to everyone. Together with his captain father, he protected the King of England's maritime empire. They were rich, brave, strong and very punctual, whether they were protecting British ships or transporting the Queen's treasures. , the Baden family is never late.
But why did this happen?
It's all my fault. I shouldn't miss the dance. If I hadn't done this, would I have caught up with this voyage, and would something have happened to my father?
why?
Not only the cargo on the ship, but also the crew and his father, everyone disappeared. What happened?
Because of this tragedy, the Queen of England was blamed and she lost her title of nobility.
Damn it, damn it.
Jose Baden yelled incompetently in a dilapidated wooden house.
There was nothing he could do, everything had already happened.
Why? I must find out, find out what happened?
While the first mate was still thinking wildly, someone knocked on his door.
When I came to the door, there was no one at the door, and there was only a letter on the doorstep.
The envelope was very finely made. The first mate swore that even among the nobles in the past, there were no envelopes like this.
The letter's wax seal is a strange muse mark.
Strange, the first mate thought to himself.
When I got this letter, there was a voice in my heart telling me,
Open it quickly, open it quickly.
Of course I did it myself.
There was only one letter in the letter, and it read:
Dear Mr. Jose Baden,
I'm sorry to bother you, but I have some clues about your father and the missing fleet. Because the incident happened suddenly and was too complicated, I can't explain it clearly to you in the letter, but I hope you can come to my Participate in a game at the manor, where the prize is a clue to your father and the ship.
Oritis Manor welcomes you.
Lord of the manor.
Very strange, very strange.
Baden had heard of Oritis Manor.
To be precise, the manor is now being discussed on the streets.
Some people say that this manor is a cursed place and a gathering place for demons.
Some people also say that this manor is paradise, the Garden of Eden sent down by God for people.
But no matter how people discuss it, no one knows where this manor is.
Even the rumors about this manor seemed to suddenly appear on the streets, and I don't know who spread them.
And everything said in this letter, since he has clues about the ship, that is to say, the so-called owner of the manor knows all the reasons for the accident on the ship.
It seemed that even if he was not the mastermind behind the disappearance of the ship, he was still an insider.
It seemed that he had to go to the so-called Oritis Manor to meet him for a while.
After making up your mind.
The first mate packed his luggage, but the moment he stepped out of the house, he fainted.
On the other side, in Oritis Manor.
"Host, did you choose First Officer Jose Baden this time?" the system asked.
"That's right, the system. I chose this person this time, that's right. Is there any problem with the system?"
"There is no host. I'm just curious, why did you choose him this time?" The system expressed its doubts.
"It's very simple. System, you should have noticed that our manor has been discussed in the streets recently."
The system nodded, and the system also noticed it. I wonder if the manor was exposed somewhere?
"Actually, I spread this intentionally."
"Ah? Host, why are you doing this?" The system was shocked. Doesn't the host not want Oritis Manor to be discovered?
"System, have you ever played chess? Do you know the technique of retreating in order to advance in a chess game?" I answered the question and started asking the system about playing chess.
"No, host, I have never played chess." The system answered truthfully, and indeed he had not.
"The reason why I spread the news about Oritis Manor is to make what I am going to prepare next more convincing and attractive. The same goes for inviting the first mate, because I need his noble connections." I told the system explained.
"People are curious, System. When the story of Oritis Manor spread in the streets and people spread it as a miracle, then suddenly a clue about Oritis Manor was given to you, and If it is linked to your own interests, then I think you will be unable to restrain your curiosity."
"I understand, host." The host is always like this, and his methods always make people feel unfathomable.
"Oh, by the way, the system mentioned the first mate, so you reminded me."
After saying that, I shook the bell on my hand.
Not long after the bell rang, Joseph knocked on the door and entered.
"Is there anything you need me to complete? Your Excellency, Lord of the Manor." Joseph bowed slightly and said respectfully.
I didn't say anything and raised the card in my hand.
Joseph understood.
"I'm going to prepare the Lord of the Manor now." After saying that, Joseph left me.
The whole process was spent watching the two of us fight against the system "…………"
"Host, why didn't I know when you gave Joseph the ability to read minds?"
"This is called tacit understanding, do you understand? Silly lack of system." I mocked without concealment.
"..." The system was silent.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Did you find out what I asked you about the system last time?" I said dissatisfied. This system can't do anything every day, and the one who nags you next to me is the first one. .
"Yes, host, I have found out that what you want to do is indeed feasible." The system replied immediately, because the host's eyes looked like it was eating the system.
"That's fine."
I was satisfied, "In other words, the rest of the system needs to be built with my own hands, right? Just like God on the stained-glass windows of the church, he built a mountain and a sea with just a few clicks, and built this world." Same."
"Yes, host"
Okay, now that the last piece of the puzzle is in hand, all that needs to be done is to wait for the first mate to complete the game and then prepare to implement it.
"Dong dong" Someone knocked on the study door.
"Come in."
I was a little surprised by the person who came, it was Claude.
"Uncle Lord of the Manor, have you invited others to participate in the game that my brother participated in?" Claude asked straight to the point.
"That's right, Claude, what's the problem?"
"I also want to participate in this game." Claude said.
"Ah?" I was confused by Claude's words. Does this kid know that this game is dangerous?
"Uncle Manor Lord, I know the game is dangerous, but I have made up my mind. Since I was resurrected by Uncle Manor Lord, I have been staying in the manor and can't do anything. I also want to help Uncle Manor Lord. Do your part." Claude has made up his mind, and he hopes I can agree.
Looking at Claude's determined look, I couldn't help but hold my forehead and have a headache.
After a long time,
sigh.
"Okay, Claude, I agree to participate in the game. Please ask your brother Joseph for specific precautions."
"Thank you, uncle owner of the manor."
After hearing my agreement, Claude bowed deeply to me and left the study happily.
Sigh, I am really not suitable to take care of children.
However, since Claude is also involved in the game, then the characters I originally planned to participate in this game are: first mate, Claude, Joseph, Jack, and one I used to make up the numbers. Dolls.
Well, one gold (Joseph) with three bronzes (Claude's first mate, Jack).
Ah, no, that gold seems to be catching people.
Don't ask me why I don't let Carl and Andrew play, they're not even half as tall as me.
As for the venue of the game, it should be the same venue where Joseph participated in the game last time - the Red Church.
On the other side, in the room I had prepared for him, the first mate finally woke up.
"This is where?!"
Just like Joseph's reaction at the beginning, I held the crystal ball and made the above evaluation.
The moment the first mate woke up, the maid also came and knocked on the door.
The maid came over and told the first mate that she was now at Oritis Manor, and told him that the game mentioned in the letter would be held tomorrow night, and the winner would get the prize mentioned in the letter.
At the same time, the maid also brought her a pocket watch.
It looked like a pocket watch with ordinary workmanship, but for some reason, the first mate seemed to feel that something in this pocket watch resonated with his soul.
Before the first mate had time to ask more questions, the maid turned and left, and told him to have a good rest. Three meals a day would be delivered to his door by a dedicated maid.
At the same time, the maid reminded him before leaving that he had to attend tonight's dinner, because there would be four other people who participated in the game like him in the restaurant.
After hearing this clue, the first mate also began to think about who the remaining four people would be.
Decided to attend tonight's dinner, and then the first mate also began to think about this strange thing that happened to him.
He thought of the rumors about Oletis Manor in the streets. Is this really a gathering place for demons? The so-called game is just a small pastime between demons. The winner can get the demon's reward, and the loser's soul becomes the demon's dinner.
Then again, does the devil really let the winner get a reward?
Forget it, no matter what, I am already in the game now and can no longer get out of here. No matter what, we have to win tomorrow's game.
Night came quickly and the first mate decided to go to the dinner on time.
Since he arrived earlier, the first mate arrived first and had food for five people on the table.
The first mate even spotted seafood risotto on one of the spots.
It seems that this position is prepared for myself.
Not long after the first mate took his seat, the remaining four people also came to join the dinner.
The first mate also began to observe these four people.
This man named Joseph was polite and looked like he should be a nobleman.
And the one named Claude looks very similar to Joseph. The two should be related by blood.
The man named Qiu Ke walked with a limp. If you look closely, his right leg is a prosthetic leg, but it is very beautifully made and looks like a real leg.
As for the remaining person, he didn't tell me his name, but his whole person revealed an indescribable sense of weirdness. how to say? His behavior seemed very reasonable, but he was as rigid as a puppet.
Dinner passed by like this.
During this period, the first mate asked them about the manor more than once, but the four of them seemed to have recorded their confessions and kept silent about the manor.
Speaking of which, the man named Joseph said an incoherent sentence to him during the meal.
"You will be happy."
However, just when the first mate wanted to ask again, Joseph refused to speak anymore.
After dinner, the first mate returned to his room.
He lay on the bed and tried to fall asleep, but the strange feeling everywhere in the manor made him really afraid to sleep.
On the other side, I was lying on the bed, holding a crystal ball, and looking at the first mate who was too scared to sleep.
"System, do you think our manor is so scary? Do you dare not even sleep?" I asked the system curiously.
The system went silent.
Host, think about it,
First, I received a letter with no beginning or end. When I had the idea to come to this manor, I suddenly flashed into this manor.
Then there is the inexplicable fact that no one in the manor is surprised by this and has thoughtfully prepared everything for you.
During the meal, the remaining four people were like ghosts. Only one of them kept their heads down and ate, and one of them, Joseph, said an incoherent sentence. Really, no one felt comfortable.
But the system didn't dare to say it out. As for the host's bad temper, if he said it out, he would definitely have another big problem on his head.
But fortunately, he didn't answer the host, and the host didn't pay much attention.
"Forget it, the system probably won't adapt to the unfamiliar environment." I explained to myself.
"That's how it should be, host."
The system also discovered that its host was unparalleled in terms of scheming and playing with people's hearts, but in terms of human sophistication, the host was an idiot.
I frowned, feeling like the system was talking bad about me again.
Suddenly, Karl turned over in his arms.
Yes, you heard it right, these two children came to sleep with me again.
I put him in my arms again and gently patted him to sleep.
Andrew on the other side also saw this and moved closer to my arms.
Well, it feels really good to be hugged from left to right.
I looked into the crystal ball at the first mate's appearance.
Have a good rest, first mate, and I hope you can win the game tomorrow.
Don't worry, with Joseph here, I will definitely record your most surprised expression.
Thinking of this, I put down the crystal ball in my hand.
He reached out and hugged Karl and Andrew in his arms, and accompanied them into sleep.
