Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

What was it like to meet a pirate leader's grandfather whom he had never met?

Qiao Yi said that he looked very calm but actually panicked inside.

The castle is huge and the decoration is very poor. When Qiao Yi went upstairs, he was almost blinded by the gemstones on the handrail of the stairs.

He couldn't help but think of his family's ancestral sword with gems deducted from it.

harm.

There's nothing wrong with living a simple life.

Joey comforted himself like this.

Joffrey kept chattering along the way, telling Joe one about the glorious deeds of his idol, Captain Viana.

Of course, these are all he heard from the mouths of those old pirates.

Before he was born, Mrs. Vianna had married far away in the north, and almost lost contact with Crow Island.

The light from the lamp trough embedded in the wall illuminated the castle brightly, and only then did Qiao Yi have a chance to observe Joffrey carefully.

Upon closer inspection, the eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to Mrs. Wei Anna.

But only a little bit.

Passing through the corridor hung with portraits of the successive patriarchs of the Simon family, Qiao Yi and the others soon arrived at Old Simon's study.

Joffrey didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open and went in: "Father, I brought my eldest nephew back—"

"Squeak-"

The door that was not closed tightly was pushed open, and the inside of the study was unobstructed.

A low table made of mahogany inlaid with gold, an exquisite silver tea set, a large sofa that looks very soft, and all kinds of swords and weapons hanging on the walls...

There is everything here, but no books.

Sitting on the sofa was a slightly fat old woman, who looked very kind, and was clinking teacups and drinking tea.

Behind the old woman stood a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard, and the butterfly dagger in his hand was spinning dazzlingly.

Lying beside him was a thin old man with gray hair and a hale and hearty man. He was wiping a knife with a piece of cotton cloth in his hand.

The light reflected from the water-like blade flashed Qiao Yi's eyes.

Joe, who was at a loss at the door, subconsciously took a step back.

This family... looks so cruel.

In contrast, Joffrey, who was dressed like a golden pheasant, looked like a husky mixed in with wolves in the house, with a melon-like temperament that couldn't be hidden from top to bottom.

At this time, together with Joffrey, the four people opposite looked at Qiao Yi with eight eyes.

Four people in the house: "..."

Joe One: "..."

Four people in the house: "..."

An awkward atmosphere was spreading in the air.

Qiao Yi even felt that it was very similar to the sense of déjà vu when facing distant relatives who were unfamiliar or basically unknown during family gatherings during the Chinese New Year.

Qiao Yi, who was so embarrassed that his fingers were on the ground, could only avoid running away from embarrassment by pinching the seeds in his hand.

He began to wonder if he had come here by mistake, he should have followed Starov's boat directly back to Stormwind.

Finally, the old man who wiped the knife broke the deadlock.

"It looks exactly like that brat." The old man threw the knife in his hand with a bang, and at the end he let out an extremely arrogant "hum~".

Instead, the old woman got up and came over, pulling Qiao Yi to sit beside her, her eyes were red: "It's so big, it really looks like Vianna when she was a child."

As a counterfeit, Qiao Yi could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile: "Hehehehe..."

Here it is again, here it is again, the sense of sight of being cared for by distant relatives you don't know during the Chinese New Year.

"Well, it does look like my sister." The butterfly knife master behind looked at Qiao Yi and put down the knife in his hand.

It was Vianna's brother Carl, that's right.

"Much better than the portrait in Father's room!" Joffrey interjected.

"fart!"

As soon as the words finished, the old man dropped a shoe and came over, his face flushed red: "There are no portraits in my room!! Also, who allowed you to enter my room without authorization!

Joffrey was obviously used to losing his shoes, he shrank his head, avoided the shoes flying towards him, and ran outside: "Elder nephew, don't look at the old man, his room is full of you and your sister. I often spend an afternoon looking at the portrait of him—”

"Hoo--" Another shoe flew out.

Joffrey had closed the door and slipped away, the shoe ended up pia on the door and fell off.

A room full of portraits? ?

Qiao Yi searched the memories in his mind.

Hmm... It seems that Old Gener does give Joe a portrait every year, but after those portraits are finished, it seems that they never appear at home?

Joe subconsciously looked at old Simon.

Four eyes facing each other.

Old Simon blushed, and looked away: "...Look, look at what I am doing!! It's all about your grandmother!!"

The old woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, I hung them all, and I asked Gener to draw the portraits, and I also sent the boat to pick up people, and I also sent the boat to deliver the winter food every year. ..."

"Bangdang-"

"Windsor!!" Old Simon threw down the knife angrily and ran away: "Stop talking! Just meet people, and send them back immediately after seeing them. Hmph, just looking at them makes me angry."

Carl shook his head and poured a cup of tea for Joe: "Don't be nervous. Father, he... is like this. In fact, he misses you very much. Uh, I'll go and see him."

Joe One: Hehehehehe (laughing awkwardly)

"Leave him alone. That's an old stubborn donkey!" Old Windsor glanced at the door, then turned around and pulled Qiao Yi: "Come here, kid, let me take a good look at you."

Windsor's eyes fell on Qiao Yi's face, and she raised her hand with some age spots on it, wanting to cut the hair around Qiao Yi's ear.

Joe subconsciously ducked back.

He is not used to being touched by strangers.

Sensing Qiao Yi's faint resistance, that hand paused, then let it go again.

"When Wei Anna married Stuart, she was not a few years older than you. In a blink of an eye, it's been so many years."

Windsor looked at Qiao Yi's face with reddish eyes, as if she was thinking of Vianna on the far side of the world through Qiao Yi: "When you were this old——"

She stretched out her hand to touch the height of a two or three-year-old child.

"Your grandfather and I went to see you in Stormwind. But that stubborn donkey of old Simon refused to go in, and he didn't allow me to go in, and didn't let Vianna know that we had been there. We only saw you from afar."

"Vianna is the same as her father. She can't bring back eight cows because of her temper. When Stuart passed away, I hoped that she would come back. But she was still angry with her father and was unwilling."

"Later, Vianna..." Windsor paused, "After she left, I wanted to take you over. But old Simon disagreed. At that time we were competing with other pirates for the control of the main island, so it was not safe. .Besides, Stuart also needs you to inherit the title."

"Old Simon was afraid that being chased by the enemy to Stormwind would affect you, so he didn't dare to blatantly send things to Stormwind. I'm too old to go to sea, and I haven't visited you again."

"I'm sorry, kid."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Windsor's cloudy eyes.

Joe sighed lightly.

Faced with such an old man, since he took up his body, there must be something to do.

After all, she is just an old lady who misses her daughter and grandson and feels guilty.

"It's okay, grandma." Qiao Yi handed over a handkerchief: "Grandpa Gener took good care of me. I had a great time in Stormwind."

This is the truth.

The people in Stormwind are simple and honest, and the original owner has two playmates, Roy and Dean. Apart from being poorer, life is really not unpleasant.

The old lady took Qiao Yi and talked a lot.

Including the funny things about Vianna's childhood, how annoying Joffrey was, and bits and pieces.

Sometimes Qiao Yi would be a quiet listener, and sometimes he would search for the original owner's remaining memories to tell the old lady some interesting spirits of the original owner.

The atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.

They talked for a long time, until the end of the moon.

Elderly people get sleepy early and need to rest.

As soon as Joe helped the old lady out, he didn't expect that when he opened the door, he almost collided with old Simon who was lying at the door and eavesdropping.

Cooperating with the old man, he lay outside and eavesdropped the whole time.

Joe looked at old Simon: "..."

Old Simon looked at Qiao Yi: "..."

Qiao Yi: "...cough, grandfather?"

Old Simon stroked his beard, solemnly: "Yes, yes. Me, I'm passing by."

Joe One: "Oh..."

"I heard that you brought an elf friend with you when you came?"

Qiao Yi's footsteps paused.

In fact, he was just about to mention whether he could stay in the castle tonight, and he wanted to go out to be with Lando.

This person is not familiar with the place, in case this elf gets lost or something... Right, right?

It's not that he wants to sleep with Lando.

"Well, yes, his name is Lancaster." After thinking for a while, Joe threw out a big bomb. "He is my lover."

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the air.

The old lady's hands trembled, and Old Simon accidentally pulled off two tufts of beard.

Joe blinked, pretending to be innocent.

"...Forget it, forget it. You...just be happy. Invite him to come in and live next door to you."

Talking so well?

Joe grinned: "Okay. Thank you, grandpa."

"Stinky boy." Old Simon stretched out his hand and snorted Qiao Yi's head, but felt that it didn't fit his personality, coughed lightly and returned to his serious old man's face: "Okay, I'm going to rest. Carl and Joffrey will show you around the main island."

"Okay. Good night grandfather, good night grandmother."

……

As soon as Joe was led out of the castle by Karl, he saw Lando standing in the darkness at a glance.

"Lando! Why are you here?"

He ran over in three steps and two steps.

Lando's hands were a little cold, and his body was a little wet - it looked like he had been standing here for a long time.

Qiao Yi covered Lando's slightly cold fingers and frowned: "Have you been waiting here all this time?"

"Yeah." Lando pulled out his hand: "My hands are cold."

"Stupid or not, you can go back to your room and wait." Qiao Yi felt distressed and funny at the same time.

This elf is a bit silly.

"I'm worried." Lando tidied up Joe's clothes: "How do you feel?"

"It feels... not bad. Both old people are fine." Joe squeezed Lando's fingertips, and looked at Carl behind him, "This is my mother's brother, Uncle Carl... this is my lover, Lancaster."

Carl looked at Lancaster without any surprise expression.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two people who were also reticent nodded at each other, and they knew each other.

The three of them got off the mountain and got on the boat, drifting towards the main island.

The main island of Raven Island is very large, and it can be called the city that never sleeps in the entire archipelago. From a distance, you can see the sprawling fires and noises on the island.

Here and the relatively quiet fourth island are almost two extremes.

As soon as he boarded the pier, Qiao Yi was covered by the noise of people and fireworks.

The whole fan of barbecue gave off a smoky and strong smell of spices, the pirates in the tavern were bragging loudly, and the drunk man swayed out with the help of each other, and plunged into the arms of the prostitute next door.

The prostitutes here are more open and enthusiastic than the women in Karnas City, and the cloth on their bodies is pitiful.

Expensive lacquer wares, silver wares, and gemstone jewelry are randomly piled up in small stalls on the ground in the mainland. A pirate picked out two pearl necklaces with his arms around a prostitute, and fished out a large bag from his arms without looking at them. The gold coins and even the bags were thrown to the stall owner.

The prostitute smiled and put the necklace on in front of her face, and gave the pirate a passionate kiss in the street, and there was a huge booing sound from the surroundings.

A few children with snot in their noses and dirty clothes ran after them, with real knives and daggers in their hands and waists.

In the corner, a few men reeking of alcohol beat a man with bruises all over his body, then pointed at the wailing guy on the ground and laughed.

The wild dog with its tail between its legs ran over, and the meat-faced proprietress in the butcher shop threw out two bones, yelling and cursing: "Bitch, get away!"

This is the biggest paradise for pirates, and also the largest gold-selling cave in the entire Raven Island, and it is a chaotic place where there is no restraint.

The fireworks here are completely different from those in Kanas City.

Both Qiao Yi and Lando frowned slightly at the environment here.

Karl is used to it, he took Qiao Yi and Lando through the dirty and noisy streets with ease, and soon arrived at a relatively quiet neighborhood.

The most shops here are weapons and leather armor shops.

It's just that there's an out-of-place kebab restaurant in the middle.

There were a lot of people in the store, noisy and stuffy, and Carl took Qiao Yi and Lando to sit on the tables and chairs in the open air outside.

This reminded Qiao Yi of the open-air food stalls in front of his university.

The boss was a fierce-looking man with a lame leg. A smooth wooden stick was attached to the broken half of the calf, and he walked with a bang.

"Bangdang-"

A large plate of barbecue was roughly placed on the table. The boss pointed to the huge oak barrel on one side, and his voice was hoarse as if sandpaper had been ground: "The wine is there, if you want to drink, go get it yourself."

Then he left "bang bang bang".

Qiao Yi's gaze fell on the huge and extremely irregular piece of meat on the rough wooden plate.

Crude cuts that looked like they had a feud with meat, a spice-soaked sheen that looked ugly but smelled good.

"Joffrey said to get something, and he'll be here later."

Carl came over with three huge wooden cups, which were full of wine.

The only wine here is barley beer. Most pirates don't like to drink the red wine that the noble grandpas on land drink.

As for high-level spirits, that thing has long since disappeared with the dwarves, and there will be some stocks in some big nobles and palaces.

Many years ago, spirits were almost the lifeblood of pirates, especially in winter, they all relied on it to warm their bodies.

Joffrey came back with a heavy jar in his arms.

He put the jar on the table, wiped the sweat from his head, and said with a wicked smile: "Look what good things I brought!"

The author has something to say: My friend played LOL all night and then went to take a plane. He was about to become a fairy, and he floated up. He looked like a fairy, and looked very confused. The flight attendant thought he couldn’t find a place, so she asked him:

"Hi sir, which seat are you in?"

My friend froze for a moment: "emmma... Sagittarius?"

Airline stewardess:"?????"
