Chapter 379: Young Master, you are too alone (three/three)

In Elu's story, he is the heir of the Astroud family and the future lionheart city lord.
He had three elder brothers, but they all died in the conflict with surrounding cities, so he is now the eldest son.
His father is in his fifties this year. Because he had been fighting for many years when he was young, his body was wounded, so he is now in bed all year round and he doesn't know when he will be finished. He has a 30-year-old stepmother who is the daughter of a chamber of commerce president in Lionheart City. He has a son and a daughter with his father. His son is ten years old this year.
And he himself, physically weak, although he has been practicing the family's force martial arts, he has made little progress. He was despised in the family, and even his father had thought of letting his half-brother inherit the seat of the city lord.
His only support is the family of his deceased mother. His maternal grandfather is the most adept and most prestigious general in Lionheart City, and he is highly dependent on his father. His two uncles also hold important positions in the Lionheart City army. .
It is for this reason that although the position of Elu, the young master, is precarious, it has been maintained.
But this situation cannot last. This time, the reason why he will go to Wuyue Continent is because the family's merchant fleet has some problems in Wuyue Continent, and it must be dealt with by enough people. There is another reason. His maternal grandfather is also old, in his seventies. The injury relapsed last year. He vomited blood while riding a horse and had to retire from work.
Without the support of his grandfather, his young master was run to the Wuyue Continent by the power of his stepmother.
On this trip, he originally brought a full guard regiment with more than 30 powerful warriors, but he encountered a sneak attack by robbers in the Wuyue Continent. As a result, almost the entire army was wiped out, only Juta took him out of the siege.
In the cabin of the early morning, some drunk aristocratic teenager Elusu talked about his past without reservation, until he said that he had escaped the siege. Luo Lin asked: "Have you taken care of the family merchant fleet?"
"Handling a fart!" Elu snorted alcohol, his face flushed all over, and he waved his hand heavily: "When I went, all five merchant ships had been auctioned off by the city owner, the fleet. The person in charge also ran away. The ransom money I brought was robbed by the robbers. I ran for nothing."
"That's not good, you will definitely be described as incompetent when you go back this time, and then your young master status will be lost, hehe." Luo Lin slapped the young man on the shoulder happily.
Elu knew that Rollin was right, but he was tired. There is no way to turn the situation around, so I just learn from Luo Lin sitting in the aisle, and said indifferently: "Who said it is not. I want to open it too, this young master, no matter it is inappropriate, I will let my brother. Save my stepmother always trouble me."
When he finished speaking, Luo Lin laughed. He squeezed the boy's face and slapped his hands, "Papa", "Hey boy, you are really naive."
"Don't slap me in the face!" Eru waved to hit Rollin's hand, he was drunk now. Too lazy to care about the faux pas of the guard.
But with his little strength, Luo Lin was still shooting, using almost the same strength as slapped in the palm of his hand, without mercy in his mouth: "You are not the young master, do you think you are safe? Want to be beautiful? . I tell you, you are giving your life to your stepmother. Let her kill! No, not only your own life. You also gave your grandfather’s life, your uncle’s life. I I’m sure that you won’t survive at most three years until your brother succeeds to the throne."
While talking and beating, Elu shot Venus in his eyes, but Elu was completely lifeless. Instead, he was dumbfounded. The slight pain on his face irritated him and made him slowly wake up when he was drunk.
"What you said is true?" He asked, but he had already believed more than half of it in his heart. He had heard a lot about this kind of battle for the seat of the city lord since he was a child, although people are extolling the reputation of the winner. Rarely mention the fate of the loser, but Elu has lived in the House of the Lord for almost sixteen years anyway, and he is intrigue with others every day, why would he not think of it?
Before he had the thought of retreat, it was nothing more than a fluke.
Luo Lin guessed that if he continued to slap his face, the boy should be angry, so he stopped, took the bottle and took another sip, drank the last sip of the bottle, and sprayed it on Eru’s face. He sighed and laughed: "If I say it is fake, do you believe it?"
"Then what should I do?" Eru asked, and he regretted it after he asked, such a drunkard, but also a civilian, what good is it to ask him? Although he didn't take the words back, he didn't expect the answer from the bottom of his heart.
But he didn't expect Luo Lin to smile: "I have been a guard for five years. I have seen you in this situation a lot. You are now well-known and supported by the army. This is a good situation. An unstable position means that you are too incompetent to give confidence to those who follow you."
"But I..." Elu wanted to argue that his health was too poor, but realized that this might be the reason for his failure, but it could not be the reason for retreat.
"Hmph, you still have a bit of bone." Luo Lin smiled, and then handed the wine bottle in his hand to Eru: "You fill my wine bottle, and I will teach you a way to deal with this difficulty."
"Are you serious?" Elu was dubious.
"Wine!" Luo Lin pushed the bottle towards Eru.
Elu's dead horse was a living horse doctor, and without receiving a bottle, he turned around and went to the cabin to get a new bottle of fire wine for Luo Lin.
While he was going to get the wine, Luo Lin turned and faced the two in the aisle who had been awakened a long time ago, and now he was staring at his guards dumbfounded and said, "What do you look at? Go to sleep."
The two guards hurriedly stood up straight, not squinting, but they were all muttering in their hearts, this guy's courage is really made of diamonds, he even dared to slap the nobleman in the face, and even slapped so confidently.
After a while, Eru came back again and handed the wine to Luo Lin. He looked up at the two guards in the aisle and said softly, "Should I go into the cabin?"
"No problem." Luo Lin stumbled to his feet, entered the cabin, and walked all the way towards the carved bench in the room. When he arrived, he lay on the chair like mud, and then squeezed the cork. Pour wine into your mouth.
"You drink less, it hurts your body." Eru couldn't help but persuade.
"Don't care, drink to nourish your heart, don't you know?" Luo Lin waved his hand, but did not continue to drink. To be honest, he doesn't like drinking very much. Now it is nothing more than the professional ethics of pretending to be an alcoholic. As for drinking to hurt you? Of course not. He is still a dragon now, and his physical vitality is not covered, and this little alcohol can only invigorate him.
"What should I do?" Elu asked sincerely. He now thinks that this guard might be able to help him through the difficulties.
"Look for an alliance, take advantage." Luo Lin spoke vaguely. Eyes looked around, and finally landed on a small box in the cabin closet.
This small box contained something similar to cigarettes on earth. Of course, Elu didn't smoke it. This thing was not his, but the configuration of this ocean-going civilian ship to the nobles. If you don’t smoke, it’s a decoration. If you smoke, you don’t need any money. Anyway, it will be included in the ticket.
So this era is prosperous. Although there are often conflicts between cities, commerce is also extremely developed, and all kinds of enjoyment are available.
"I want that." Luo Lin pointed to the closet. On Earth, he likes smoking. It's a pity that there is no smoke in this alien world, so he quit, but now he sees this thing. I miss it a bit.
Elu was meditating on Luo Lin's words, and he didn't say much. He opened the closet and threw a whole box of cigarettes on Luo Lin: "It's all yours. Then who should I call for an alliance? How can I take advantage of the situation?"
Luo Lin took out a cigarette from the box, lit it up and took a sip. After a taste, it felt okay. It feels similar to the smoke on the earth, but this one is more refreshing. After vomiting a smoke ring, Luo Lin threw the wine bottle aside. He decided to use cigarettes instead of alcohol in the future. Who told him to prefer to smoke: "How do I know who to find an alliance with? After so many days on the ship, you will stay in the cabin, and you will not participate in the dance, nor will you join others? The nobleman speaks. To be honest, I have never seen a nobleman as unique as you. Hey~ You are not inferior, right?"
"..." Eru's heartache was pricked by these words. He turned pale, gritted his teeth and couldn't take care of his face. To tell the truth: "I am the only nobleman on the ship who can't know martial arts, a man. Laugh at me, women look down on me. I have been to proms several times, and every time I have been treated as a clown. What do you mean by that?"
'Baz~Baz' Luo Lin squinted his eyes and smoked the clouds and smoked for a while. He glanced at Eru and teased: "Being a clown is ten thousand times better than nobody caring you, so good. You will not use the conditions, I think there is a problem with your brain."
Rollin was not at all polite, and Eru felt a little angry, but he felt that his words made sense, and before he knew it, he fell into contemplation.
Luo Lin didn't care about him, and began to enjoy this alien version of cigarettes. When he finished smoking one, he made a statement with a fascinating expression: "Cigarette is better than alcohol. From now on, I will smoke. Young Master, Should I change one bottle of fire wine to cigarettes in the next five days?"
Elu couldn't laugh or cry: "I said you can't help but mutilate your body? How can you make me such a crippled person like this?"
"Everyone is not fate, young lord~EbookFREE.me~ I still envy your natural nobleman. If you are a nobleman, my wife and children can hide in a safe fortress."
Eru was startled again, and suddenly felt a burst of light in his heart. Yes, I have something that most people in this world don't have. What am I complaining about? Isn't it just a weaker body? What's the big deal.
Suddenly, Elu was very energetic and smiled: "You are right, Luo Lin, I am so alone, I want to go out. Yes, tomorrow I will go to the ball on the boat!"
He walked back and forth in the cabin with ambition, and hesitated again on his face. A person's personality can be changed, but it is basically impossible to change it all at once. Take Eru, for example, with more thoughts in his mind, the inferiority complex that had been ridiculed in his bones resurfaced.
After walking a few more laps, he said: "I have no bottom in my heart. You will come with me tomorrow. Don't worry, as long as I finally become the city lord, I will let you be my general and have enough tobacco and alcohol!"
Rollin laughed and took a deep breath of the cigarette between his mouth and fingers: "Your promise is solid enough, okay, just say this to you, and I will fight it with you." (to be continued)
