Man on the ark, forced to become king

"We've gone off on a tangent. What exactly was the content of the prayer?"

"content……"

When this was mentioned, Melina hesitated for once, as if she didn't know how to start. Finally, she reached out and gently touched the glowing light with her finger, and a series of recitations reached Lin Lu's ears.

"Great Golden Lord! Your radiance shines brighter than the sun, your thoughts are deeper than the stars, your power is more vast than natural disasters, your wisdom guides us, the dull and confused. Your humble servant prays here, O Creator of all things, please forgive my foolishness, White Wolf..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What kind of nonsense is this?"

Lin Lu couldn't hold back after hearing just the beginning; a chill ran from her heels to the back of her head.

What the hell? That traitor Dassim has been copying this set of incoherent and clumsy praises. Good heavens, he's made it sound so good that anyone who doesn't know better would think he's joined some kind of crab leg organization.

He clearly gave Dassim a degraded version of the Golden Tree Blessing, so how did he end up brainwashing himself?

I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore.

Fortunately, the praise wasn't too long. It was probably all the ink that Dassim, that old-school gangster who only knew how to kill, could hold. He couldn't remember any more. Although there were still some inexplicable embellishments mixed in later, it was still barely audible.

But, the Twin Wolf Killers... it sounds a bit like a storybook?

It's surprising that Texas is quite a figure in Syracuse, seemingly with a high profile. No wonder he was chased all the way to Lungmen.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go ask Texas."

After listening to it once, Lin Lu roughly understood the situation.

In short, Darcy had a misunderstanding about their relationship because he had saved Texas in the past. He also heard that Texas's old friend was being chased to his territory, so he stepped in to help him and planned to use it to curry favor.

It seems he's made good use of the Golden Tree's blessings and reaped considerable benefits. Now that he's had his fill, he wants to go even further.

Lin Lu naturally supports this kind of traitor who is extremely self-aware and self-disciplined and has even learned to brainwash himself, since he and Huang Jinshu are the ultimate beneficiaries anyway.

Even if he and Texas are just ordinary friends at best, and he has nothing to do with that white wolf, he still plans to take responsibility for this matter. If things go well, he might even gain two more useful people and be able to poach the emperor's men again. Either way, he won't lose out.

-------------------------------------

pat~

The glass landed on the bar, wobbled a few times, and finally settled down.

The black wolf girl picked up another wine glass and slowly wiped it, but her mind wasn't on it.

For some reason, she felt uneasy all day, as if something was about to happen.

But from day to night, everything in the bar remained the same. There were no orders that she needed to deliver. Apart from Lin Lu coming over to drink and chat with the Emperor, nothing else happened. No one was causing trouble in the bar, and the Guard Bureau did not suddenly come to search. Everything was as usual.

But what other surprises could there be besides these?

She knew very few people in Longmen and was all alone. She even ate and slept in the dormitory of Penguin Logistics, and she never imagined that there might be any unexpected disputes.

Could it be that I haven't been sleeping well these past few days?

"A Coke, please."

Suddenly, a cleaned cup was handed to Texas, who looked up and paused for a moment.

"Lin Lu? Didn't you just leave?"

"Yes, but that doesn't stop me from coming back. Also, Coke with ice."

Lin Lu glanced at the booth in the corner and didn't see the Emperor. He probably went to the basement to sing after finishing his drinks.

He called it a burst of inspiration.

"Your Coke."

Texas pulled half a bottle of Coke from under the bar and poured it into a glass, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

The Bar at the End of the Earth doesn't offer any drinks other than alcohol. In the Emperor's words, "A bar only needs alcohol," which can probably be considered a unique feature of the business. Therefore, non-alcoholic beverages simply don't exist here.

She bought this bottle of cola at a convenience store with her own money, and had only drunk half of it. In Lungmen, this kind of sugary drink is more expensive than regular alcoholic beverages.

It wouldn't have mattered in the past, but recently Lungmen has been cracking down hard, and the Imperial Guard officers are patrolling the streets, making it impossible for her to get any jobs or earn any money. Her meager savings won't last long, and even buying a Coke seems like a luxury under these circumstances.

"It's just a bottle of Coke, it can't be that serious, right?"

Lin Lu was speechless. Under Texas's gaze, she took a big gulp and whispered, "You'll see later that this Coke was worth every penny. I have some unexpected news about you."

"News about me?"

Texas paused slightly in her hand holding the cup, her heart racing a little. She felt like she knew why she had been so restless all day.

The news about her... is most likely related to her past, which is hardly a good thing.

Could it be that someone from Syracuse has arrived again?

"Lapland."

Lin Lu uttered a name, then remained silent, raising her eyelids to observe Texas's reaction.

thump.

The glass landed on the bar with a dull thud.

Texas's eyes sharpened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and returned to calm.

"How do you know that name? Did she come to Lungmen?"

"No, your old buddy is still in Syracuse, but the situation isn't good. He's been being hunted for half a month and is now cornered."

Snapped!

A half-empty bottle of cola, which was placed on the edge, was knocked to the ground by a sudden tremor in the arm, but Texas was no longer in the mood to care about the cola.

Lapland?! How could this be?!

She was perfectly fine when she left Syracuse; they had already gotten rid of the troublesome people chasing after them, and should have been able to have some peace and quiet for a while.

Unless Lappland takes on another order!

But that guy's madness usually only manifests in battle. He's not really insane, so why would he accept a mission that would allow him to be hunted down for half a month? Even when they were at their craziest, they never did that!

Did she kill a high-ranking member of some powerful family?

After leaving Syracuse, Texas kept convincing herself that she had let go of the past, and even stopped drinking and tried to quit smoking. But when the past really came back to her, she found that she was not as calm as she had imagined.

Simply because that person was Lappland.

The thought that Lappland might actually die this time, or even meet with misfortune by the time the news arrived, caused the murderous intent she had been suppressing to surge up uncontrollably. Her hand subconsciously reached for her waist, where she kept her weapons.

Who is chasing her?

Perhaps she herself didn't even realize that when she asked that question, a boiling murderous intent was uncontrollably showing on her face.

"I don't know about that, but she was lucky. My men happened to be there and rescued her before she was hacked to death. She's safe now."

Lin Lu downed the rest of her cola in one gulp and then shared some good news.

Judging from the reaction, Texas still values ​​her old friend quite a bit; Dassim's brain finally worked up for once.

"……Thanks."

Texas breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Lappland had been rescued; at least she wasn't dead.

"I owe you a favor, and I will repay it."

With his thoughts in turmoil, Texas still couldn't calm down no matter how much he thought about it.

Lin Lu's subordinates cannot protect Lappland forever. Since the people chasing her have been able to hold out for half a month, they will not give up easily.

The danger remains and could become even more intense. Lappland is all alone. How long can she hold out and how many times can she escape?

As expected... she still couldn't truly let go.

She must return to Syracuse and find Lappland before she faces another life-or-death crisis!

Chapter 5 Texas can't do it!

'well done.'

Those three short words almost brought tears to Darcy's eyes.

After a slight moment of surprise, his devout and reverent expression twisted visibly, turning ferocious, startling Lappland who had been staring at him. Lappland almost thought he was having an acute attack of an illness.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The white wolf girl gritted her teeth and tried to straighten her body, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the two swords placed not far away.

Dasmi's change was truly bizarre; his expression was as if he was about to suddenly attack someone, making one wonder if he might suddenly go crazy at any moment.

Even a severe case of Ore disease wouldn't be this bad, would it?

"It's okay, I'm fine, I've never felt this good!"

Dasmi raised his arm, his body trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

That's it... that's the feeling!

He could feel the blessing within him growing stronger, a warm power flowing through his body that was intoxicating.

A stronger blessing means he can gain more from his enemies and move towards areas he could never have reached in his life!

His aptitude wasn't particularly good, and his strength had long since reached its limit. Without a blessing, someone like him would be discarded in some corner after losing his usefulness, turning into a pile of rotting flesh.

But now, he has the opportunity to stand at an even higher level!
