【Chapter 071】Dream Connection
"This is already a generous help! As the rumors say, you are a kind lord. I would like to express my deep gratitude to you." Captain Mason was born into a merchant family, and was quite famous in the commercial city of Arabel, and his wealth was far from the Black Stone Colonial. But in fact, the social status of merchants was far lower than that of the nobles.
"Eric, go and see if Uncle Carrick is back. I have some things to ask him for some advice."
Alice has always been used to handing over the internal affairs of Blackstone Castle to Carrick. Of course, there is another reason. Carrick is also a businessman who is in contact with the businessmen of the Pierre family. It can be used as a long-term interpersonal relationship investment, and may come in handy when it comes to contact.
When Captain Mason heard Carrick's name, he thought something, and seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Mr. Captain." Alice smiled slightly, with calmness and elegance on her face: "Our Black Stone Collar is adjacent to the Whirlpool Sea, and there are cliffs. Fresh water and food are probably not so easy to transport. And - the sea monsters wandering in the Daotan Harbor, I will verify."
Mason came to his senses and nodded quickly: "We will solve the delivery of fresh water and food by ourselves. But of course you can verify the sea monster. I promise that what I said is true."
"During this time of waiting..." Alice showed a curious expression: "Can you describe the situation to me in detail? You know, it is not that easy to hear the legendary story of encountering sea monsters."
"Uh..." Mason really didn't want to recall the horror scene at that time, but now Alice is obviously a little girl with a lot of curiosity, and she is a nobleman. She can only bite her teeth and describe the situation at that time.
When Carrick came to the living room, Captain Mason's sea monster story came to an end. While on the way, Eric described the general situation to him, but when Carrick saw Captain Mason, his expression was quite strange.
"Uncle Carrick, this one is..."
Carrick interrupted with a cold expression: "Mason Pierre, the captain of the Shining Pearl, and the deacon of the Pansy Chamber of Commerce, we once met once, but the process was a bit unpleasant."
Mason's face twitched...
Alice was also stunned.
The scene was once very awkward.
"Ahem..." Mason thought to himself, no wonder the name sounded familiar. It turned out that there were holidays. But at this moment, people were under the roof and had to bow their heads and ask for help. They had to smile awkwardly: "Misunderstanding must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Carrick, no matter what he had before, I am willing to apologize to you sincerely."
"It's not a misunderstanding." Carrick waved his hand and looked at Mason up and down: "I'm not a person who likes to hold grudges. Mr. Mason, you haven't done anything. But your dog-legged people are not very friendly to us little businessmen from small places."
Mason smiled awkwardly and politely, and he understood what Carrick meant a little.
In the bustling Arab City, major commercial guilds have their own commercial blocks, and merchants selling goods in the neighborhood have an obligation to pay a certain amount of taxes to their affiliated chambers of commerce. This is understandable, but the bad thing is that those guys responsible for collecting taxes are not good people. They often bully and blackmail some small vendors and earn extra money, which has almost become the unspoken rule of Arab City.
As a deacon of the Pansy Chamber of Commerce, Mason knew this kind of thing well, and his men kept such a group of people, nominally tax officials, but actually thugs.
"Mr. Carrick." Mason corrected his expression and said righteously: "I regret the unfair treatment you have suffered. I have always opposed those despicable acts of bullying and extortion."
"But." Then Mason clenched his fists with a tangled face and put them down in vain: "Oh, I am just a sub-sect of the Pierre family, nominally a Pansy deacon, but actually has no authority, and has the will but is powerless."
It has to be said that Mason's superb acting skills fully express the hatred, disgust, helplessness and regret that a righteous man who hates evil but is powerless.
Carrick looked at his performance calmly. He did not take advantage of others' trouble to attack the dog and beat him up. It was purely from the perspective of a businessman. He reminded Mason that he could take care of his business in Arab City in the future.
"Mr. Mason, you don't have to do this." Carrick smiled and said, "I believe you are a gentleman. I deeply sympathize with you for your experience at sea. Since Lord Alice agrees, we can discuss the specific details."
Captain Mason felt a little clear, and his mood suddenly felt much more relaxed: "Thank you for your generous help, my sailors and I will remember it in my heart."
...
The dark sky was shining with stars. After a busy day, the castle was quiet. Captain Mason got the fresh water and food he wanted, but the transportation process was not smooth. The strong wind and waves in the evening made the boat return in vain several times, and finally had to choose to stay in the castle's guest rooms for the time being.
The God of Dreams of the Innocence Girl, the Lord of Thousand Witches, and the Remaining Essence of Krem
Completeness: 5%
Tiredness: o%
Mind value: 47
After more than three days of "saving for frugality", he finally saved enough mental value. Qin Song chose the organ that proliferated for a long time - connecting the thalamus without hesitation.
Proliferation - connects the thalamus.
Mind value consumes 3o.
Tiredness increased by 10%.
Integrity increased by 1%.
A wonderful feeling as if the soul is out of body, Qin Song can clearly feel the uncontrollable dispersion of his thoughts, and countless fragmented scenes intertwined and overlapped with each other, gradually unified.
Connect the thalamus Lv1 (advanced): By connecting the thalamus, you transcend the obstacles of time and space, connect the dreams of believers (5o% of faith) into one, and bring your enlightenment. As time goes by, fatigue continues to occur. Advancement requires 7% completeness and 4o mental value.
Compared with the proliferation of eyes and tentacles, the proliferation of brain brought more obvious changes to Qin Song's body shape, which expanded nearly twice as much. His head was as big as a basketball, and his tentacles spread nearly one meter. Even the pink body color had slight changes, with spots of purple marks emerging.
As for the pottery urn prepared by Alice for "Sherlock", I'm afraid I can't even put my head in now...
Alice and Linda both fell asleep. Even if they were busy during the day, they would rest on time, looking forward to meeting the gods in their dreams. The precious knowledge of the gods is more important than anything else.
In a soft light, Alice walked as usual while listening carefully. The golden length shone with the soft light, magnificent and colorful.
Linda in the silver shawl was also bathed in a soft light, and her brown pupils were constantly searching around with the desire to learn.
Suddenly, Linda's steps stopped, and a figure appeared faintly in the light not far ahead. This surprised her very much. This was the first time she encountered such a situation in the dream of the gods.
Is this not a dream of a god, but my dream?
Linda's heart was full of doubts.
The person opposite her seemed to have stopped, and stood in the hazy light, staring at her.
"Who are you?"
Both of them spoke almost at the same time, and their tone was full of surprise.
The voice sounded so familiar, Linda blurted out: "Alice?"
Alice's appearance gradually became clear in the leaping light. She looked at the beautiful and cute silver girl in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief: "Linda?"
