Chapter 703: Poor Novelist
On the other side, in the cabin where Richard lived, Richard was lying on the bed, his eyelids moved slightly, and his consciousness body had returned to his physical body and was out of a meditative state.
However, after returning, he did not open his eyes, but lay quietly on the bed, trying to fall asleep again.
After about a few minutes, he realized that it didn't work.
His spiritual strength far surpassed that of ordinary wizards, and even his perception was extremely keen, like the change of free energy elements in the air, and it would take at least a few hours to get used to it.
In this case......
"Whoa!"
Considering that he couldn't sleep for a short time, Richard simply sat up from the bed, thought about it, and pushed the door directly out of the cabin, and walked onto the deck, ready to breathe.
......
In a moment, Richard walked to the deck, and could see that the night was deep, and the surrounding sea was overcast, and the damp sea breeze blew, which could make people smell a strong salty smell.
"Click......
Richard stepped over to the edge of the deck, squinted at the water crashing against the hull, and took a deep breath.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded next to him, reminding: "This friend, don't get so close to the side of the boat, be careful of falling." If you want to see the view, I advise you to come back to the deck early in the morning during the day, or at dusk in the afternoon. And if you want to see the most beautiful scenery, you have to wait until the moonlight is full and just after night, when you will feel like you are in a dream. As for now, heh, there's nothing but darkness. ”
Well?
Richard raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw a man curled up, sitting on the side of the boat. In the night, his face was blue and motionless, almost blending into the entire ship, and if it wasn't for the other party's voice, it would be really hard to find.
With an eye blinking, Richard stepped over and saw the other man's face clearly.
I saw that the other party was wearing a tattered yellow shirt and crumpled blue pants, and he looked very pitiful, no better than a beggar.
However, the other party's temperament definitely does not look like a beggar, with a little bit of arrogance, looking at the sea outside the ship, I don't know what to think.
Hearing Richard's approach, the other party did not look back, continued to look at the sea, and then talked to himself.
"Friend, do you know that my life is a complete tragedy. I could have been a little nobleman, maybe I would have lived a boring life, but I would definitely not have suffered much. But I didn't want to do that, and I fell out with my family when I was an adult.
I didn't want to be stuck in one place for the rest of my life, so I chose to run away from home and wander around, determined to see all kinds of interesting things and enrich my experience. I want to learn about the whole interesting world and write a story for everyone to know.
At that time, I naively thought that I could rely on this to eat and become an excellent home. I can make it clear to the people in my family that I am better than they think. But ......"
"But you failed. ”
"Yes, I failed. The down-and-out man sitting on the side of the boat smiled bitterly, "I failed very completely, trying to write one book after another, but no one wanted to read it at all, my savings were getting smaller and smaller, and I could barely make ends meet." At this time, people from my family found me and persuaded me to go back. ”
"Heh!" Jia laughed to himself again, "To be honest, at that time, if I gave up the path I chose and returned to my family, I might be ashamed, but at least I could spend the rest of my life comfortably." It's just that...... I always felt that I would rather die than do this, and I wanted to continue exploring the world!
So I ran away again in the night, and ran so far and so far. In order for the family to never find me again, I boarded this ship in the harbor of Rockdan and prepared to go to the main continent, which is where I always wanted to go.
I have to say that the tickets for this ship were so expensive that I spent all the money on my body and couldn't afford it, so I ended up selling everything I could to scrape together the money to buy an inferior ticket among the inferior tickets.
This ticket allowed me to stay on the boat, but there was no place for me to stay, so I had to sleep on the deck. In fact, it's nothing, it's just a little colder, and when the sun comes out during the day, it will be warm, and it will be able to hold on to the main continent.
But one thing I forgot – like when I was writing, I always forgot the key plot – that a person is meant to eat. All my money went to buy a ferry ticket, so I haven't eaten since I left Rockdan Harbor. At most, in the ship's restaurant, drink free soup to satisfy your hunger. I've been drinking, I've been drinking, and I've been drinking until now, and I really can't hold it anymore.
What a ridiculous and funny thing, the heir of a nobleman, who did not listen to advice, brought about his own destruction, and finally starved to death on a ship in the vast ocean. I thought if I did write my own story, it would be very popular, but ...... No chance. ”
"There's no chance. Home muttered, moving as he spoke, preparing to jump into the sea.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and a gold coin fell and rolled to the front of the house.
As soon as he stopped jumping into the sea, he subconsciously picked up the gold coin and looked up at Richard: "Who are you?"
"Generally speaking, I don't like to do good deeds and help people. Richard said slowly, "However, I appreciate people who are willing to stick to their chosen path and explore the world." Now that I've heard your story, and you've heard you tell me the best time to see the view, I'll pay you a gold coin. It's not very valuable, but it should guarantee that you won't starve to death to live to the main continent. ”
"I ......" the family was stunned for a moment, but then there was not much joy, but his expression was a little struggling.
"I ......" the family hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and handed the gold coin to Richard, "I can't ask for your money, I am principled." The stories I tell and the advice I give you are definitely not worth a single gold coin, so I can't ask for them. ”
"Then you're going to die. Richard said, without much mercy, just a simple fact. He will help a poor person because of some appreciation, but the other party really wants to die, and he will not stop it. "Of course, this is also your right, so it's up to you. ”
As he spoke, Richard withdrew the gold coin, and turned to leave. After all, he is really not very keen on helping people, and his attitude towards strangers is indifferent.
Richard was so simple, but it made the family stunned, obviously in the thinking of the family, Richard should have persuaded him a few more words.
Not everyone sees death as home, watching Richard really go farther and farther, the family can't help but feel a little remorseful, and the next moment he opened his mouth to stop Richard: "Please...... Please wait a moment. ”
"Huh, what?" Richard paused, turned, and looked home.
