The sea breeze mixed with salt and humidity, carrying the coal smoke emitted by the passenger ship, like layers of burnt spring roll skins, sticking to your face layer by layer.

On the first floor deck, the booming music suppressed the temper of the waves, but successfully provoked those who liked quiet to become irritable.

On the second floor deck below, men and women flirted with each other. Standing above them, you could hear their different accents, but it did not prevent the man's hands from becoming increasingly unruly, nor did it affect the woman's pretended shyness and willingness to accept advances.

Even if they had just taken a walk on the deck with their husband or wife a moment ago, it did not prevent them from finding their brief true feelings now.

Karun even noticed that between the two couples on the north-south direction of the second floor deck under him, there was a tacit understanding between the men and women. This was true equality in marriage, where everyone played and everyone was playing.

Turning around, leaning against the railing, Karun looked at the sea bird standing on the railing in front of him. Its light blue feathers and proud neck were facing the direction of the setting sun, creating a painting-like beauty.

Then, "Woof!"

The golden retriever jumped up, startling the sea bird.

"Ah."

Karun sighed and closed his eyes.

The golden retriever crouched in front of Karun, tilting its head, looking at its owner with some confusion.

Not far away, Puerh, who was lying on the lifebuoy hanging on the wall, sighed: "Even a dog with improved intelligence cannot understand art."

At this moment, a sea bird landed in front of Puerh.

"Meow!"

Puerh pounced on it, swiping a paw to pluck a few feathers from the sea bird, scaring it away.

The old maid walked over. She was the maid who had been taught a lesson by Alfred in the yard of the Unis family. Unis called her Miss Daly.

"Master, madam invites you to dinner."

"Okay."

Miss Daly's attitude towards Karun had improved a lot after boarding the ship, but Karun did not want to be too friendly to her.

The third floor was divided into two halls, and Mrs. Jenny had booked one of them.

Karun walked into the room, and Mrs. Jenny was sitting at the dining table. Unis walked over and helped Karun take off his coat and hang it up.

It was very cold outside, but the cabin was a bit stuffy.

After boarding the ship, Unis naturally began to take care of Karun's life, which was basically what a wife would do for her husband, except for sleeping.

In fact, she didn't have to do this; because the ship was heading towards her home, and between men and women, whoever was going to whose territory often had more confidence. She could be more relaxed and even less concerned about trivial matters. This was a natural emotional change for humans, but she did not do so.

In addition, before boarding the ship, Karun had told Mrs. Jenny about Dis's sleep and even the consequences and costs of waking him up. He did not hide anything.

This was not because Karun was naive; he did it on purpose.Because some things are likely impossible to hide, even though the Allen family is declining, they are not an ordinary family. They may not be able to do much, but they can still inquire about things.

It's better to be straightforward from the beginning instead of pretending to be something you're not.

The other meaning is that if the "Allen" family chooses to look down on themselves because the Yimmerles family, who is asleep in Dis, has become an ordinary family from the inheritance family of the Order of God Church...

Then please present it early, don't go through the process.

He has the money given by his uncle and aunt, the loan procedures for buying a house, and Alfred, a self-provided dry food servant who not only does not require a salary but also gives his boss a salary.

Without the Allen family, he can still get by. He can buy a small apartment in York City and start over step by step.

But for now,

Younis's attitude towards him has not changed due to the changes in his family, but rather she does more details for him than before;

Mrs. Jenny...

She did change a bit, but you can't say that she directly lifted her chin up to him. Instead, her humble feeling towards him has become more natural and enthusiastic as an elder to a younger person after learning about Dis's sleep.

Karun felt that he might be a bit self-abusive because he was actually a little disappointed with this.

Perhaps it was because the Yimmerles family gave him such a good feeling that he was not very willing to try to contact the Allen family again;

If you "dislike the poor and love the rich" early, I can leave early.

Now, everyone continues to get along in such a "harmonious atmosphere", and he really needs to report to the Allen family.

"Come, try this fish, the sailor just caught it in the morning." Mrs. Jenny gestured for Karun to dine.

Karun ate a slice and nodded with a smile:

"It's very delicious."

He actually didn't like raw fish.

"Would you like to have some red wine with me?" Mrs. Jenny asked.

"Sure, ma'am."

Younis got up and poured red wine for her mother and Karun.

"Wein's food is really bad, but Wein's wine has always been famous. This is probably because there have been kings in the Wein royal family's history who made good wine and clothes, but there has never been a king who made good food."

"In fact, the most important thing about food is habit, as long as it's clean." Karun responded gently.

"I'm a Rulan person, you don't have to hide anything from me. Believe me, when you really get to Wein, you will feel that Wein people, along with their ancestors, have been addicted to pig food."

"Hehe."

"Come, cheers to our smooth night."

"Our smooth night?" Karun asked in confusion.

"Oh?" Mrs. Jenny covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha, sorry, sorry, did I forget to tell you?"

"Um."

"Then let me tell you now. We have to change the boat tonight because this boat will sink, and someone will come to pick us up.""Is it to change our identities?" Karun asked.

"The word 'change' is very accurate. Yes, it's for that purpose. Our identities, me and Yunes, were already fake, but you are real. You boarded the ship as Karun.

So, with an accident and a shipwreck, we can take advantage of the situation. The Karun from Rulan will disappear in the sea, and when we return to Wein, you don't have to change your name.

Wein isn't particularly large, but there are a lot of people."

"But..."

"Oh, don't worry about innocent people being harmed. This ship will only get a small hole, and tonight it will sail near the Sides Island, where there is a naval port of the Wein Royal Navy. Rescue will come soon.

Of course, some people will have bad luck and bump into things, but those are small matters, right?"

"You're right, Madam, but I'm not worried about innocent people being harmed. I'm worried that I have too much luggage, especially since I brought a lot of books this time. I don't want to lose them or get them wet."

"Oh, I see."

Mrs. Jenny took a sip of red wine.

"Don't worry. After dinner, you'll have plenty of time to pack your luggage. Aselos is an excellent sailor, and he will help us take care of our luggage. I also brought a lot of Roja's special dry goods, which can't get wet."

"Aselos?" Yunes was a little surprised. "Is it the painting hanging in my father's study?"

"Yes, you'll meet him tonight. Actually, Yunes has been protected very well by us. She knows a lot of things, but she hasn't really come into contact with them."

"Actually, I'm the same," Karun responded.

Most of his knowledge came from religious books in his grandfather's study.

"Do you need Yunes to help you pack?" Mrs. Jenny asked.

"No, Madam, I can do it myself."

"Then I'll have Daili help you."

"That's not necessary."

"Okay, I'll have Yunes call you here an hour early. We'll board the ship together."

"Okay, Madam, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

"You don't have to be so polite to me," Mrs. Jenny smiled. "Sometimes I'm quite curious. How do the Inmores people have such good manners?"

"Because...most of the Inmores people are really no different from ordinary people."

"Including you?"

"Yes, including me."

"Okay." Mrs. Jenny pursed her lips. "My dear ordinary person, Karun."

But I'm really just an ordinary person compared to the servants around me and that cat and dog.

Karun got up from the dining table, and Yunes also got up and walked to the door to help him put on his coat.

"Madam, I'll go back and pack my things first."

"Okay."As Karun walked out of his room and passed the fence, he saw Alfred sitting in front of the piano playing it, surrounded by many ladies and missies, and a few gentlemen.

Puerh followed Karun along the railing towards her own cabin and said, "The radio fairy has always been very charming."

"Uh-huh," Karun responded.

"Do you know, Karun, every time I see you go to Jenny's room to eat, I feel like I'm holding my breath," Puerh said.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid Jenny will give you a hard time, and I'm also afraid that Unis will treat you more lightly than before."

"Your concern is really interesting."

"I've always thought that the people in our family are very foolish now. Otherwise, you can't explain why our family has declined so much. It's normal for people in a foolish family to do foolish things, right?

For example, because of Dis's sleep, because of the fact that the Inmores family has become worthless, they neglected you, looked down on you, and even more extreme, deliberately forced you to break off the engagement so they wouldn't have to be the bad guys."

Karun stopped and looked at Puerh, who was also looking at him.

Then Karun continued walking towards his room.

Puerh stood still for a moment and then caught up with him, cursing, "Damn it, Karun, is that what you're thinking too?

So you deliberately told them about Dis and the Inmores family;

You want them to neglect you, look down on you, give you a hard time, so you can't come down;

Then,

You can say goodbye to the Allen family with a clear conscience?

Most importantly, your separation from Unis was not your fault, because you had a legitimate reason, and you could occupy the moral high ground without having to endure self-flagellation?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Karun took out his key, opened the door to his room, and went in. Puerh followed him and continued to curse, "You're using the silent treatment on purpose, not giving the woman a way out, deliberately creating opportunities for her to get angry, and deliberately letting her say the word 'breakup' first;

Then you just agree, and say it was her idea, and you have no moral guilt!

Your men's hearts are really dirty!"

As Karun tidied up the books on his small desk, he asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? I don't understand, and the fact is that I've been doing well on my own."

"Regardless of the facts, have you really never thought about it, even a little bit?"

"No."

"No, that's what you're thinking!" Puerh jumped onto the small desk. "My young master Karun, are you starting to look down on the Allen family?"

"No."

"Yes, you are. You see the Allen family as a burden, and you want to walk freely on your own!"

Karun stopped tidying up the books and looked at Puerh curiously. "I remember you didn't want me to go back to the Allen family with you because you were afraid I was a god of evil and would bring bad luck to the Allen family.""But you're not a god anymore, now the god is a dog!"

"Woof!"

"Get lost, meow, this is not the place for you to speak!" Puerh shouted at the golden retriever.

The golden retriever was obviously still afraid of Puerh, so it immediately shut up and lay at the door. After all, when it first came to this house, it had submitted to Puerh's gaze. Even though it had become much smarter now, the psychological shadow had never been erased.

"I only did as you told me." Karun said.

Puerh reached out and gently grabbed Karun's hand:

"But I remember that at first, I asked you to take Unis to the bedroom quickly and let her give birth to many offspring for you."

"She is your junior."

"But the situation is different now."

"What's different?"

"Well, first of all, you're not a god anymore, although... I don't know what you really are; anyway, things that have exceeded my level of understanding won't give me any sense of crisis. But what I know is that Dis used a blood sacrifice ritual to forcibly block the spiritual power of the future generations of the Inmoleis family."

"And then?"

"And then, you were not blocked, and now Dis is asleep, so these things that should have been there may all fall on you."

"You really have a wild imagination."

"I have theoretical basis for this. The Original Principle Church has done research in this area."

"The Original Principle Church even researched this?"

"Yes, they even help design tombs for the royal family."

"I thought the Original Principle Church only studied the theory or essence of things."

"That's what people like Hofen like to do. Many religions develop and evolve, and they become distorted, especially in this era. If the gods don't come out, no one can really control it, so they can only let it develop."

"Well, by the way, Puerh, what is Aselos?"

The reason why Karun asked what it was, was because he clearly sensed from Mrs. Janifer's words that Aselos was not a person.

"Aselos?" Puerh was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Aselos, is it still alive?" Puerh suddenly became much deeper, "Did Janie tell you?"

"Yes, she said Aselos will come to pick us up and change the ship tonight. You haven't answered me, what is Aselos?"

"It's a sea monster, like a whale."

"A sea monster, and as big as a whale?" Karun was a little surprised.

"The Allen family was a famous pirate family in history. They just settled on land later, but they left some friends and relationships on the sea, which is normal."

"So, can the current Allen family still summon this sea monster?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Isn't the Allen family in decline?"

"That's relative to the Allen family in the past. But the Allen family is not an ordinary family after all. Besides, is it strange to summon a sea monster to help with things?"

"I think it's quite strange, um, it surprised me.""Your grandfather can still condense three divine fragments... Oh, I see, it must be Dis' low-key style that has misled you about the status of the Inmores family in the church circle.

That day, Dis solved the problem through negotiation. If he really fought with those three elders of the Order of the Gods, half of Roja City could easily become ruins, even without the use of highly polluting forbidden spells.

If Dis is still alive or has entered the Temple of Order, you, Karun, will be a real little prince."

"Little prince? Heh, that's a strange title."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Dis for not taking you to see the world, making you feel like a country bumpkin entering the city."

"That's okay too. It's fun to explore and get to know the world step by step. You can't imagine it."

"What exploration? Are we going to Vienna to buy a farm and farm the land?" Alfred walked in, "My savings are barely enough."

...

Yunis knocked on the door at night, with Puerh sitting on Karun's shoulder, holding a golden retriever in her hand, and Alfred carrying luggage and books, all standing at the door of Mrs. Jenny's room.

Mrs. Jenny also packed her things and stood on the third-floor deck.

Looking at her pocket watch, Mrs. Jenny said, "They're here."

Suddenly, a gray mist appeared in front of the cruise ship, and the visibility suddenly dropped very low. At the same time, a sound of impact came from the bottom of the ship. The people on the third floor were prepared early, so they did not fall.

Immediately afterwards, a black giant figure slowly emerged from the thick fog. It really looked like a whale, but its skin was covered with clear scales.

"Thank you, great Aseros." Mrs. Jenny bowed to the giant figure.

Aseros opened his mouth and spit out his tongue like a ladder, and the people climbed up.

"Everyone, get on the ship." Mrs. Jenny said.

She went up the tongue first. Yunis glanced at Karun, and Karun smiled at her, indicating that she should go up first. After Yunis went up, Mrs. Daili carried the luggage of the lady and the young lady and went up.

"Radio fairy, go up!" Puerh on Karun's shoulder ordered.

Alfred carried the luggage and went up.

"Stupid dog, go up!"

Karun let go of the leash, and the golden retriever jumped up excitedly.

Everyone followed the tongue and entered Aseros' mouth.

When Karun was about to go up, Puerh suddenly jumped onto the railing and said, "You are not Aseros."

At this moment, a cat stood on the railing, facing a sea monster that was larger than the cruise ship.

Upon hearing this, Aseros' huge eyes began to look down, and it had never really looked at the person it was going to pick up before.

"I am Aseros." The dull and slow voice came.

"No, you're not. Aseros cannot possibly not know me." Puerh raised her cat head and said, "Pall. Allen!"Aserlos fell silent for a moment before its voice came again:

"What you said, might be my father."

"Where is your father now?" Puerh asked.

"Father has returned to the embrace of the deep sea underworld."

"Aserlos, it's dead," Puerh lowered her head, murmuring sadly to herself, "Yes, it's been so many years, how could Aserlos still be alive?"

"My father has told me many things about the past, including a very noble lady from the Allen family. Father said that the happiest and proudest day of its life was when it swam in the sea with that lady. Father said that when that noble lady left the shore, she said she would call for it to take her home in a little while. Father waited for a long, long time, but never heard the lady's call."

"I'm sorry...Aserlos," Puerh whispered.

"Before my father fell into the deep sea underworld, it instructed me to continue waiting for the lady. It said that when the lady got tired of playing outside, she would come home. So, are you the noble Miss Pall Allen?"

"Yes, my name is Pall Allen. Thank you for coming to pick me up."

"I hope that I can take you home in the way that my father and that noble lady loved the most."

...

At dawn, a huge sea monster's body was mostly submerged in the sea, leaving only half of its head above the water. Karun held Puerh and stood here.

"Woo woo woo woo..."

Aserlos spouted water from its cheeks, forming a beautiful and romantic scene in the morning light, which was the favorite sight of that noble lady and the game that father and she loved to play while swimming in the sea.

Karun lowered his head and looked at Puerh in his arms.

She was now curled up in his arms, very soft, or...fragile.

This was the first time Karun had seen Puerh so fragile.

Puerh raised her head and looked at Karun, saying, "Karun, I'm going home."
