He seemed shy, but in fact, he stepped his head into Owen's arms in frustration and whispered: Why, when I keep talking, you will shut up with that one look.Am I a good bully or how to drop?
Owen's face was impassive, and he was amused in his heart: If you have to say it, you are a woman, I am a man, I am strong, you can only lie in my arms, in all fairness, obviously you are the one who is easier to bully.Julian knew of course that Owen was telling the truth, but the answer belonged to a friend, not a lover!
He couldn't help grinding his teeth with the flesh on Owen's chest, this guy dared to say anything when he was in bed, how sweet did it come, why didn't he know to say something nice at this time?
Sure enough, it's because of his current state that he has swelled, waiting for him to recover!
Gotta give him some color!
When the stumble was over, the servants who had entered the side door of the restaurant quickly cleaned the table tops and replaced them with new tablecloths.Julian noticed that the servants treated all the family members with malice, and only when they faced the old man did they show some sincere respect.Interesting.Julian shared his findings with Owen, and as for the little fat man, this guy hid in the corner after drinking the potion of Bigu, and he looked like I am self-aware and will never mix with you.Owen glanced at the old man and nodded to Julian, signaling that the man would not pose a threat to them.Julian suddenly made up his mind, as a severely crippled, his biggest golden finger now is Owen, since Owen said that he could solve the other party, then it is estimated that there should be nothing on this ship that Owen can't solve.Okay, now that you're done eating, let's get started.The old man did not use any food either, and almost as soon as the servants had cleaned up the table, he could not wait to announce the beginning of the family meeting.A young-looking man chuckled: Patriarch, why are you in such a hurry?
We don't even know the identity of the new members.The old man looked at him expressionlessly, waved his hand, and Isaac, the sharp-toothed butler, appeared out of nowhere, still holding a thick bronze book in his hand.Okay, since you don't know, I'm going to introduce it to you.The old man opened the bronze book and quickly found the location of the two of them.Stanley and Laura, am I mispronounced?
Their identities are recorded in the family tree, and I think everyone should have no objections.The old man said coldly, looking around, his gaze slightly threatening.The people he saw all staggered his gaze, and seemed to be a little jealous of him.But the rebellious young man didn't seem to like him, and still leaned back in his chair lazily, and said casually: Stanley?
Laura?
Who's that?
God knows that this is the illegitimate son who can't control the lower body of the collateral bloodline, when will even the illegitimate child have the right to inherit the position of patriarch?
He propped his hands on the table, smiled before he saw them, and looked at Julian with a slight contempt in them.Julian lowered his eyes, didn't speak, and was a quiet beautiful man, a beautiful woman.He didn't know about illegitimate children or anything, but he observed very carefully when Stanley made a statement, and although it was inconspicuous, that Stanley did have some kind of pride in his identity.As a descendant who doesn't know how many generations it has lasted, and who has been cursed by a strange big ship, what does he have to be proud of?
From another point of view, for a family that attaches great importance to bloodline, their descendants must also attach great importance to it, so what Stanley is proud of can only be his own bloodline, what kind of bloodline is worthy of his pride?
Of course, it is the blood of the descendants of the lineage!
So Julian speculated that Stanley was most likely a descendant of the lineage.What happened on the ship had always been a secret, or the people who escaped had been secretive about it, and Stanley had limited information to share with Julian, but he got a lot of surprises from the little fat man.The little fat man's ancestors had an unknown little hobby, that is, he liked to listen to gossip, he not only listened, but also wrote it down, so the various gossip notes he handed down became the extracurricular reading materials of the little fat man when he was a child.It was precisely because the ancestor liked to collect all kinds of gossip that Julian knew that the attitude of the descendants of the family back then was quite unfriendly, some of them were more extreme, and even felt that the people of the side family should naturally serve them.Naturally, there was all kinds of bullying, and the wife of an unlucky member of the side line hooked up with a member of the line, and then a riot broke out on the ship, and a large number of people died, but the wife was lucky to survive and became pregnant.It's hard to say who the child is, but according to the gossip of the little fat man's ancestors, it may be the descendant.And even more coincidentally, he had heard the wife's name from Stanley, who he said was his grandmother.In this way, everything is right, and Stanley should be the offspring of the illegitimate son of the lineage.Julian is not worried about the rebellious man's troubles at all, and now he is not the most anxious person on the ship, so naturally someone will come out and charge for him!
Sure enough, the old man spoke, and he glared at the rebellious man dissatisfied: Auguste, although Stanley's ancestor was an illegitimate son, he was an illegitimate son of the line, you should know that the bastard son of the lineage has the right to inherit.The rebellious man sneered, and looked at the old man with cold eyes, he is also the offspring of an illegitimate child, how can a member of the descendant line enjoy the right of inheritance, in the final analysis, what is the difference between the descendant and the collateral?
He's just very unhappy, those people are lying on their side and sucking blood!

The exchange between the old man and the rebellious man has amply proved that there is no peace between the people on this ship, at least from Julian's point of view, the lineage dispute that led to the almost total destruction of the entire ship has not ended even now.Julian did not participate in their dispute, and sat quietly on the sidelines, with a proper smile on his face, but his eyes constantly swept over the faces of the family members who seemed to be inadvertent, but in fact pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.He lowered his eyes and smiled knowingly.No wonder these people have such a contemptuous attitude towards the old man, it seems that all the members here are all collateral, and only the old man himself is the descendant.It is not more accurate to say that except for the old man himself, who looked at the lineage differently, the other people seemed to be very unhappy with the lineage.The members of the side seemed to be led by the rebellious youth, and while the rebellious youth spoke, the others remained quiet.Julian listened with interest for a while, and then felt a little bored.The two of them have been arguing for so long, and in the final analysis, what they are fighting for is not the position of the patriarch, but the control of the big ship after having the rights of the patriarch.Now this ship is obviously dominated by the side line, and the old man occupies the position of the patriarch, can control this big ship, and the big ship is equipped with a self-destruction device, and these side members do not dare to persecute him too much in order to die with the old man.In this way, the two sides formed a strange balance, which can be regarded as peaceful, but Julian's appearance broke this balance, the old man is old, after his death, even if he is unwilling, he has to give up control of the ship, the side members have waited for so many years, how can they tolerate being picked by two descendants who suddenly appeared at such a critical moment?
As a result, one side tries to create a good succession environment for the heirs of the lineage, while the other side tries to prevent them from succeeding.As participants in the event, Julian and Owen heard a lot of things from the conversation between the two, for example, the summoning every few decades is a compromise between the side and the old man, giving him a chance to summon a member of the lineage, but after so many years, the old man has never found a suitable candidate.As a result, the side forces once again occupy the top, and the old man continues to threaten with control, and the two sides reach a balance again.It sounded normal, but Julian sensed something was wrong.First of all, it is very wrong to summon this every few decades, according to the rebellious youth, the old man is about to die, so he is in a hurry to find an heir, to summon offspring, but in fact, the old man has lived for at least hundreds of years, otherwise it is impossible to summon at all.Secondly, they said that the descendants summoned were not qualified, and complained that there were fewer and fewer people who could be summoned, but they didn't seem to realize that those who were summoned were all dead on the ship, so of course their descendants would be fewer and fewer.In the end, the two of them blurred out a lot of key content in their words, and it was these blurred things that caused a gap in their memories and made their repeated summoning act plausible.To sum up, it is the two waves of people on the ship who are vying for power, but neither of them wins, because every few decades, they have to repeat the process of fighting for power and profit, but they themselves do not seem to realize this.Combined with the evil spirits who were obviously dead, but seemed to move as freely as they were, Julian was convinced that there must be a black hand behind them.He felt as if he was watching a botched play, the puppets on the stage were coming to life, but the script was terrible, and the viewing experience was terrible!
Julian didn't have the patience to watch them continue to act, so he turned to Owen and said: Don't waste any more time, let's just get the mastermind behind the scenes.Owen glanced at him: Do you know where the mastermind is behind it?
The ghost ship was full of the filthy smell of evil spirits, and Owen's perception was so disturbed that he couldn't spread too far.I don't know, but I'm guessing they do.Julian raised his chin at the old man and the unruly young man, who were still arguing about how to elect the future patriarch, and if it was an ordinary person like the little fat man who had come on board, he might have been fascinated by the beauty of their narrative.Julian guessed that they must have had two hands on their sleeves, performing different things depending on whether the family members on board were descendants or collaterals, and then luring them into competing for the position of patriarch.As for how to act in the future, it depends on what the old man will say.Taking advantage of Julian's thoughts, the old man and the rebellious young man had already discussed a result that was more acceptable to both parties.As Julian expected, the old man had the upper hand in this argument, he looked at Julian with a kind smile, and said gently: "Child, I have helped you get the best conditions, when we got on the boat, we brought a treasure map, which recorded the location of the family's treasure cache.The old man's tone was very light, but there was an inexplicable bewitchment.In order to ensure the interests of the family, I divided the treasure map into several parts, and hid them in the room on the third floor below the deck, as long as you can find the treasure map, you can inherit the position of the patriarch.The old man's words were extremely tempting, and in his description, this task was extremely simple, but once he inherited the position of patriarch, he could not have a magical ship, and he could also dig up the treasures that the family had hidden back then.Buried in the treasure are countless gold coins and gems, as well as various materials that the family has collected over the years, and even some high-level martial arts and magic notes, it can be said that anyone will be attracted by the huge wealth.Of course, limited to the average person.Julian already knew the old man's true face, so it became ridiculous to hear him bewitch himself.The treasure of this family is truly omnipotent, and there are all kinds of treasures you can think of.It is said that this family may have been powerful back then, but it is impossible to collect so many good things.With such a bright bait in front of you, do you say I'm biting a hook?
Or is it a tick?
Julian and Owen exchanged a look, Owen stood up a little excitedly, and said to the old man: Please rest assured that the patriarch will not be disappointed.The old man nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the rebellious young man proudly.The rebellious young man sneered, sat on the chair, and said in a strange manner: Then I'll see how far Mr.
Stanley can go.Please, don't waste your time!
Owen nodded at the old man, ignored the young man's words, and strode towards the door.The little fat man had been shrinking in the corner before, quite without a sense of existence, but at this time he suddenly jumped out: Wait, I'm with you.Well?
Do you also want to compete for the patriarch?
Julian raised an eyebrow at him.The little fat man was startled, and waved his hand again and again: No, no, no, of course not, I just feel safe by your side.Julian laughed and teased him: "It's also safe in this restaurant, you see, can't staying with so many people give you enough security?"
The little fat man cried and chirped: Lady Laura, don't tease me Here Julian was amused by his loveless expression, and then said: We are going down to find the treasure map, I am afraid this trip is very unsafe.The little fat man blinked, looking confused: Didn't he just say that he was just going to look for a map below?
It shouldn't be dangerous, right?
Julian knew at a glance that the little fat man didn't hear the danger in it at all, and he didn't explain it, but just asked Owen to give him a magic spell to expel evil, with this magic spell, ordinary evil spirits would instinctively not want to get close to him, as long as he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, at least until they came back, he should be safe.This time, Julian didn't dare to guarantee that he would be unharmed, the most important thing is that he believed that Owen's strength as a knight would definitely be able to protect himself even if it was a critical moment, but the little fat man didn't have this kind of treatment, and if he really encountered any danger, he could only ask for more blessings.His Owen has never been the kind of self-sacrificing character!
Despite the reluctant gaze of the little fat man, Owen left the dining room with Julian in his arms, and led by Isaac, the sharp-toothed butler, to the entrance to the cabin below deck.Since entering the dining room, Isaac has been expressionless, but at this time there has been a slight change, the malice in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he looked at Julian with a little regret in their eyes, obviously he knew what was underneath.Julian didn't ask anything more, the other party was obviously controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes, and the information revealed to him before should be his limit, even if he wanted to say more, I am afraid it would be impossible.See you later.Julian smiled at Isaac, and there was obvious disapproval in the Butler's eyes.I don't approve of them competing for the position of patriarch, let alone going down to the cabin at the bottom of the ship.He'd already warned them, but why take the risk!
Isaac didn't know why Julian was doing this, all he knew was that the two men with a nice smell on them were going to die soon.The moment he entered the lower deck, Julian felt a cold malice envelop him.He was like a drowning man, wrapped in and unable to breathe.With a bang, a layer of white flames rose around Owen's body, and Julian only felt that the cold feeling receded like a tide, and his body suddenly warmed up.He gasped for breath and looked at Owen in amazement: What happened just now?
What's that?
Owen looked at the bottom of the stairs with a solemn expression and shook his head: I don't know yet.Julian felt a little embarrassed by his reaction, but Owen probably saw his embarrassment, and he always liked to comfort him by pecking him on the cheek when no one was around.Don't worry, no matter what it is, to be able to show such obvious malice shows that he doesn't have enough brains, otherwise, it is the best choice to sneak up on us quietly and sneak up in the shadows.
