For many people in Rhode Island, the night of the banquet in early December was obviously full of strange mysteries, and the nobles who were invited to attend were all red-faced but unsatisfied, and no matter how much others tried to inquire, they were very secretive about the content of the banquet, only saying that the trip was too worthwhile.
And according to a certain grapevine, it is said that the Viscount Ford, who had left the banquet in excitement, took twelve beauties home that night, and then well, God knows what happened next, but according to one of the courtesans, the Viscount was so powerful that all the beauties begged for mercy in the end.
Just kidding, for this gossip, people who know the inside story of the aristocratic circle are extremely suspicious, you must know that the Viscount Ford, who is as fat as a pig, has always been called only three seconds, and it was still after taking medicine.
But the problem is that the nobles who know the inside story are convinced of this gossip, especially the Earl Simmons, who is extremely at odds with Viscount Ford, who gritted his teeth with envy and jealousy, and immediately drove a carriage early the next morning, full of gold coins to find Lin Taiping.
As it turned out, it wasn't just him who couldn't wait, but when Earl Simmons arrived at Christine's house, he found that the carriage had already been parked, and the enthusiastic nobles were lined up in a long line, wiping their sweaty heads while desperately waving golden tickets, which made all the residents passing by look sideways, and they didn't understand what these nobles were crazy about early in the morning.
And it was from this morning that a certain secret epidemic that could not be made public began to spread throughout the aristocratic circle, so that when many nobles met, instead of greeting each other "Have you eaten today", but mysteriously asking "Have you got a tattoo today?"
In this case, Lin Taiping's totem tattoo business is booming, groups of nobles come to visit, whole boxes of gold coins are moved into Christine's house, Mr.
Cohen laughs all day long and even his back molars are exposed, and his daily task is to sit there and count the money, even if the money is counted until his hands cramp does not hinder his good mood.
It's just a pity for Tulu and the Minotaur tribe, for the huge profits of the capitalists, these laborers are squeezed out of all the surplus value, and the first thing they wake up every morning is to make totem tattoos, and the last thing before going to bed every night is to make totem tattoos, and even the food has to be fed by someone.
In this way, after just half a month, Lin Taiping suddenly found that he could play poker with a lot of golden tickets, even if he removed the share given to Mr.
Cohen, and then demarcated the remuneration to the Minotaur tribe and Christine, he still had more than 30,000 gold coins in his hand, even if he used it to play in the water, he could play for several hours.
But by this time, and as he had predicted, as the number of potential customers continued to decrease, the craze for totem tattoos was also decreasing, and fewer and fewer nobles came to order that kind of totem tattoos, and the profits brought by ordinary tattoos began to decline, which meant that he had to go back to Alcatraz Island as soon as possible.
After learning about this, Tulu and the Minotaur tribe's first reaction was to pat his chest and say that he wanted to accompany him back, considering his own safety issues, even if they didn't take the initiative to ask, Lin Taiping would drag them as free meat shields, but Christine, who also volunteered to accompany her, was left in Rhode Island to take care of a dozen little Loli.
But in this way, due to the lack of Christine's humanoid mobile arsenal, Lin Taiping suddenly felt a little uneasy, so before officially leaving, he deliberately went to Robin Street, brandished gold coins and made a big purchase, buying a large number of materials and one hundred and fifty magic crystals.
On the other hand, in order to ensure the safety of his big benefactor, Mr.
Cohen also used all his connections to borrow a Weirong warship from the lord, this medium-sized large-masted square sailing ship, extremely fast and fierce, and equipped with fifty powerful warriors, even if it encounters a large pirate group, well, at least can escape What was somewhat unexpected was that the commander of this battleship was actually the captain of the guard who had several encounters, because he had privately accepted the benefits of Lin Taiping, and Mr.
Cohen did not hesitate to buy it with gold coins, the attitude of the captain of the guard was simply enthusiastic, and he patted his chest again and again and said that even if he didn't want to fight for his life, he would not let his dear Lin lose a hair.
In this case, the day of official sailing finally came, Christine took thirteen little Lori, Mr.
Cohen with three beautiful and gentle daughters, as well as nobles such as Viscount Ford and Earl Simmons, and collectively escorted Lin Taiping to the docks.
As for the next, of course, it is a bloody but enthusiastic farewell ceremony, of course, considering everyone's different circumstances, the content of the farewell is completely different "Dear Lin, you remember to come back early."
Mr.
Cohen blinked, and by the way, he didn't forget to push the daughter next to him up, "Alice, say hello to your fiancé, aren't you going to send a blessed kiss?"
"Lin, I heard that you will bring more interesting goods" Viscount Ford shook hands affectionately goodbye, and said in a low voice, "By the way, dear Lin, the kind of ordinary totem you helped me tattoo, can the effect be strengthened a little more, I have taken a fancy to a few succubi recently." ” "Uncle, are you going to marry my sister" In Christine's strange face, Vivian and a dozen little Lori surrounded her, and asked in a milky voice, "That, what does it mean to get married, do you sleep together every day?"
Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping was moved to tears by this warm farewell, and jumped on the ship as if he was running away, of course, jumping on the Weirong battleship with good comfort and safety, as for Tulu and the thirty minotaurs, they were stuffed with the Black Pearl in one go, and sent a captain to guide them on how to steer the ship.
A moment later, with the sound of a low horn, the masculine sailing ship pulled up its iron anchor and hung its sails, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, the Black Pearl slowly sailed towards the unknown expanse of the ocean, following the crooked and twisted ship that could turn on its side at any moment.
Lin Taiping leaned on the side of the boat, looked back at the dock with some sadness, he looked at Christine with a worried face, suddenly felt a little moist in his eyes, and couldn't help waving his hand vigorously: "Dear, take care of the child in the belly, I named him Lin Ping'an" Everyone present with the child suddenly turned their heads to look at Christine very neatly, Tulu's face was full of shock, and the beautiful girl Leah was heartbroken, as for Mr.
Cohen, he looked at the three daughters behind him, and suddenly felt an urge to strangle himself, Woo Woo, sure enough, was it still preempted by this woman So, Christine, who was flushed all over her face, suddenly had the urge to carry the magic crystal cannon and directly bombard this unscrupulous boss into slag, but at this moment, looking at the battleship that gradually disappeared on the sea level, she somehow suddenly had an uncontrollable feeling of heart palpitations, as if something terrible was about to happen In fact, something terrible did happen, because at this moment, on the deck of the battleship traveling at high speed, Lin Taiping suffered from seasickness again, which made him start to vomit endlessly again, as if it was not Christine who was pregnant, but himself.
"Lin, are you okay?"
the captain of the guard, who served as the captain, held a nautical chart beside him, and asked with a concerned face, "According to the nautical chart, it will take us at least three days to reach the Alcatraz Gods you mentioned, and there should be no demons living on that island?"
"There are no demons, but there is a group of women waiting in line to have a baby."
Lin Taiping was stunned like this, but he still didn't forget to complain, "Don't talk about this, I really have to find a place to lie down for a while, do you have a comfortable cabin?"
This is not a problem at all, the captain of the guard immediately patted his chest, saying that his captain's room was comfortable and warm, and it was destined to be prepared for Mr.
Lin, which made Lin Taiping feel very strange, and even couldn't help but think about how much gold Mr.
Cohen spent to make this captain of the guard serve him like an uncle.
However, he soon knew why, and at the moment when he was sent into the captain's room, the captain of the guard suddenly lowered his voice, rubbed his hands with a flushed face and said: "What, Mr.
Lin, I heard that you have prepared a totem for Viscount Ford, which is very ordinary, very ordinary, you see" It turned out that Lin Taiping suddenly realized, and in the face of the expectant gaze of the captain of the guard, he waved his hand very generously: "No problem, when I return to Rhode Island, I will ask Tulu and them to help you make a tattoo, how about a 50% discount."
Hearing this, the captain of the guard smiled so hard that he even showed the roots of his teeth, and immediately took out the fresh fruit that had been prepared, and after a long day of hospitality with a courteous face, he gently closed the door and said goodbye, and before leaving, he also said that if there was any need, he could go to the deck to find him at any time.
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality."
Lin Taiping expressed his heartfelt gratitude, but after a few minutes, when the door was closed, the first thing he did was not sleep, but In an instant, a flash of crimson light flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared into the captain's room, and reappeared in the hall of the gods, still facing dozens of towering statues of the gods.
Then, as if sensing his arrival, the loud and low, hollow voice resounded throughout the temple: "Mortal, kneel before the gods, and offer your sacrifice with reverence, and you will receive the gods' gift."
"Wait, I want to ask something."
Unexpectedly, Lin Taiping did not directly take out the magic crystal this time, but suddenly interrupted the voice.
Raising his head thoughtfully, he slowly inspected the entire hall, his eyes shining with a strange light, but he finally took a deep breath and raised his voice and asked "I wonder if I can see the specifics of the blessings before the sacrifice I mean, all the blessings":
