My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 114 Crisis of Trust
In the cockpit, Jiang Chen looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word.

Captain Laurent was also silent.

After a while, Jiang Chen finally broke the awkwardness.

He said, "Want something to drink? I brought some wine, but I'm not sure if it's to your taste."

"Then try it. You've never drunk it anyway," the captain replied.

Jiang Chen took out a bottle of wine from the ring and handed it to Laurent.

The bearded man took it and blew into the bottle. The golden liquid poured out and he exclaimed in admiration, "Not bad! I like this!"

Then he drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp and threw it out of the cabin.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Can you agree to a request of mine that does not violate the rules?"

"For the sake of the wine, and your silver tongue. Tell me!"

He knew that he was eloquent, but he obviously couldn't fight him, so his favorability was still useful. Jiang Chen thought.

Then he said, "Let me see you with my eyes of insight. This is a personal matter and there are no rules involved."

Laurent was slightly startled.

His eyes stared at Jiang Chen, and there was a fiery glow in his eyes, like a fire of anger, which brought Jiang Chen inexplicable pressure.

Huge pressure!
Jiang Chen remained calm: "Just take a look."

The bearded captain laughed, and every beard on his face trembled.

Then he nodded: "Then you can see it."

Eye of Insight is activated.

"Captain Laurent of the Homeward Look."

"Level 12."

“Other unknown.”

Level 12?
No, isn’t this level a bit too high?

Not normal!

You are such an awesome guy, and you come here just to be a school bus driver?

Jiang Chen said helplessly: "With your strength, you can at least cross the sea without any problem, let alone cross the void with your physical body."

The bearded man raised his head and laughed, "What a ridiculous belief! Why do you think that a high level means being powerful? Being powerful means being able to fly? You know nothing about power, even if you have acquired the fusion of characteristics."

Uh……

I'm wearing a mask!

Can you see all this?
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "We are always shallow and ignorant. After all, I am still young... Even if I am not a child, at least I am young."

Captain Laurent hummed.

Jiang Chen looked at him: "Do you have children?"

Captain Laurent was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head: "No."

"Then are you married?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Captain Laurent was stunned again. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have a wife. She is very fierce and tough. I hate her very much! But I have no choice. I can't divorce her because I can't beat her."

"Wow."

Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

From the sound of your voice, your status doesn't seem that high? But is your strength still that strong?
There are a lot of awesome people on the main continent?

Suddenly he noticed that Laurent looked at him with a hint of vigilance... Was he afraid?
afraid of what?
Jiang Chen recalled the strange looks he received during his last trip to Gui City.

Ghost bride?
Is he afraid of the ghost bride?

Although Jiang Chen did not get any additional information from the Ghost Bride and the Captain, that was only because his strength was too low. Once his opponent reached a certain limit, he could no longer see anything.

But at this moment Jiang Chen felt Laurent's fear.

The ghost bride is much more powerful than him!!!
This made Jiang Chen feel relieved instantly.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment: "So, being the captain is your job? If the ship is destroyed, will you be unemployed?"

The bearded man snorted softly: "You ask too many questions."

"I guess not." Jiang Chen muttered: "The ship can be destroyed, but the captain is still there, and the ship may not even be truly destroyed. But what's really interesting is that you used to be a person who received the precepts, but now you are the captain of a ship that picks up newcomers in the chaotic world, the star world immigrants..."

The bearded man was obviously getting impatient: "Have you said enough? If you want to fulfill your commandments, go talk to someone else! I'm really tired of dealing with you ignorant brats every day."

As he finished speaking, Vivian and the curator appeared at the cabin door.

Hearing the captain's complaint, both of them were a little stunned. "You look like you made him angry?" Vivian said crisply.

"As long as he doesn't capsize the boat." Jiang Chen stood up.

The curator laughed and said, "I'm not a brat. He has implicated us all."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Maybe it wasn't a slip of the tongue," he murmured.

The bearded man had a gloomy expression.

Vivian was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

Jiang Chen chuckled: "In the eyes of the captain, we newcomers, especially those who know nothing about the chaotic world, are really not much different from children. Well, maybe I shouldn't call you captain, but school bus driver."

Captain Laurent didn't say anything, but just sailed silently.

Walking out of the cockpit, Jiang Chen looked out at the sea.

The communication just now seemed meaningless, but it made Jiang Chen's heart surge.

He is understanding this world and is strengthening his belief that the chaotic world is not for them to die.

A mortality rate of 50 percent is too high. Destroying the opposing ships is definitely not a solution to the problem!

There must be a better solution.

And it shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Just then, a shout came from the opposite boat: "Found it!"

what?
Jiang Chen was shocked.

On the opposite ship, the Homesickness, a person who had received the precepts was happily rushing towards the ancient palace with a key in his hand.

not good!

They found the key!
Jiang Chen didn't expect these people to act so quickly. They found the key in just the second hour.

He rushed over and shouted, "Where did you find the key? Is it the secret door?"

The elemental ordained person shook his head: "No, it's not there. It's in the cargo hold, hidden in a pile of rotten vegetable leaves. Fortunately, I was careful enough."

As he said this, he was about to open the door of the ancient palace.

"Wait, don't open it!" Jiang Chen stopped him.

Ok?
The person receiving the precepts looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

At this time, other people who were receiving the precepts also gathered around.

Noya floated out of the captain's room, stood on the fence and shouted: "Jiang, what do you mean?"

Looking at the faces that were looking at him with doubt and surprise, Jiang Chen felt helpless.

He knew that the people on the Homesickness did not trust him wholeheartedly. Even if he were in their position, they would not easily trust a person who was in competition with them.

But at this moment he could only say firmly: "That door cannot be opened!"

Noah fell from the boat.

She came to Jiang Chen's side and looked at her suspiciously with her beautiful big eyes: "But you have to at least give us a reason."

What excuse could I have?
I'm desperate too!

The damn chaos is deliberately trying to cause discord among us.

Looking at Jiang Chen's wandering eyes, Noah understood a little.

She whispered, "You know what's in there, right? You weren't there at the beginning of the second battle, so you went in?"

Dry!
So you're all paying attention to me?

A large group of elemental ordained people have gathered around.

They stared at Jiang Chen with anger in their eyes.

Looking at their eyes, Jiang Chen understood.

If I don't make this matter clear, I'm afraid no one will trust me anymore.

Not to mention them, even the Chaos ordained people nearby, including Vivian and the curator, looked at him in surprise and doubt.

Realizing that things can't be stopped, it's better to do the opposite.

Jiang Chen spread his hands and took a few steps back.

He turned around, looked at everyone on the two ships, and shouted: "Everything I do is to hope that everyone can work together to complete this mission. Of course, I can understand your distrust, in this case..."

He showed the golden worm on his wrist: "Open the door."
