(Today's two updates, the second update is at noon. Please vote more and click to bookmark and support, thank you)

The battle in the port in the afternoon quickly attracted the attention of the Pinecone Island Security Force, but before the soldiers arrived in a hurry, Lin Taiping and the others had already driven the medium-sized ship and quickly left the port with sails and sailed away.

A few hours later, when the sunset slowly set, the ship was already floating in a desolate sea. Without Lin Taiping saying anything, Tulu led a large group of taurens and began to plunder and blackmail them in a familiar way.

It took only ten minutes for them to plunder a group of prisoners to the point where they didn't even have copper plates left. Then Tulu touched the horns and thought about it seriously. A large group of taurens immediately rushed over and kicked all the guys into the sea to feed the sharks.

"No, you can't treat me like this!" Gerbrin, who had a fractured and vomited blood, screamed in panic, "I am a level 6 mage, I am Lord Grande's confidant. If you dare to hurt me, Lord Grande will definitely take you..."

"Goodbye!" Lin Taiping waved his hand lazily, and Ye Ge next to him immediately raised his mace, came with unsatisfactory feelings, followed by another, and then the whole world became pure.

As for the next, of course, it was a habitual division meeting. Gebulin left behind several magical equipment. A group of armed soldiers contributed hundreds of gold coins, all of which were worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Everyone distributed it fairly, and then went back to the room to count the money with satisfaction.

Of course, except for Lin Taiping, because he still has to stay on the deck to help take care of more than a dozen little lolittle who had just been frightened... In fact, even if he didn't want to help, it wouldn't work, because more than a dozen little lolites were holding his thighs collectively and looking at him with their big watery eyes.

"Okay, what story do you want to hear this time?" Lin Taiping could only surrender innocently and began his career as a tragic story repeater. He also had to stop from time to time to answer those strange questions, such as the mermaid was not wearing clothes, so where should she put the copper coins on her body?

Christine leaned on the side of the boat with her arms folded and drank a cup of hot coffee silently. Seeing Lin Taiping's busy look, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips gently, and suddenly felt warm and calm in her heart.

From the first encounter on the island, to the intimate cooperation on Rhode Island, to the first kiss of parting, to the accidental occurrence of Pinecone... Before she knew it, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be less and less interested in using her brain, but was used to relying on that guy and leaving all her worries to him to solve them.

"Is this trust, or...love?" Christine sighed softly, recalling the sweet and long kiss, she suddenly felt a little red and hot on her face.

Well, maybe this is not love. Even the sweet first kiss at that time still had more complex emotions, but Christine knew very well that she had become accustomed to the existence of that guy, his dark bellies, his demonic smile, his strange plans, and the unscrupulous complaints that always make people vomit blood...

Uh, just talked about complaints, and in a few seconds, complaints that made people vomit blood appeared-

On the deck, Lin Taiping educated seriously at a group of focused little loli: "Do you know? There was a silly girl who inexplicably rushed over to give her first kiss, and then secretly ran away with her brain. In the end, she took all the troubles by herself... Vivian, when you grow up, don't learn from her, otherwise you will really not be able to get married!"

Damn it! Christine, who was blushing just now, suddenly had a strong desire to look for magic crystal cannons everywhere: "Boss, it's a bad habit to talk badly behind the scenes, not good at all!"

"Do I have it?" Lin Taiping turned his head innocently and blinked his eyes, "I didn't say bad things about you behind my back. I was in front of you... Okay, let's talk about serious things, what's going on with Gebrin and Grandet behind him?"

The topic was diverted in time, and Christine was immediately taken apart by silence. She was silent for a moment when she suddenly looked up and looked into the distance, sighing in a complicated mood: "Boss, do you know Ivory Island?"

Ivory Island? Lin Taiping nodded thoughtfully. After coming to this world, he had looked through the navigation charts of the Cape Sea, so he had some basic understanding of the famous islands in this sea area, including this Ivory Island.

The so-called Ivory Island is a rich island about one thousand nautical miles away from Rhode Island, with a population of nearly 600,000, beautiful and prosperous, and rich resources. It is no exaggeration to say that if Rhode Island is a shining pearl, then Ivory Island is the dazzling sun, and there is a huge prosperity gap between the two.

However, what really made Lin Taiping remember Ivory Island was not its prosperity and prosperity, but the political system implemented by this island was completely different from the lord system of Rhodes. Ivory Island actually implemented a parliamentary system with a democratic spirit.

To be precise, all citizens of Ivory Island, whether civilians, merchants or nobles, have the right to vote under the law... Every five years, they will vote for twelve MPs, who will form the Supreme Council and jointly manage the entire Ivory Island.

"Yes, boss, you understand it very clearly." Christine nodded slowly, and was silent for a moment. She suddenly raised her head seriously, "Actually, my father was once one of the members of Ivory Island."

Puff! Lin Taiping spit out a mouthful of milk and opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Uh, aren't you kidding? Your father used to be such a big official?"

"What's the joke about this? My family was once a prominent family on Ivory Island." Christine recalled the glory of the family, and her eyes suddenly became much brighter, but she seemed to think of something. She quickly sighed sadly, "But that's all the past. Since my father stepped down, he suddenly suffered from a very strange disease..."

Well, that's the truth. After Christine's father left office, she and her mother suffered from a strange serious illness. After persisting for a few months, she finally died. At that time, Christine was only twelve or thirteen years old. Although she had terrifying force very early, she was just a young girl who had just learned about human affairs and could not support the entire family at all.

Next, just like those traditional plots, her "kind and kind" uncle, Marquis Grandet, acted as the guardian without hesitation, responsible for taking care of the Christine sisters... Next, is it necessary to say that it is nothing more than the uncle's step by step embezzlement and seizing assets and trying to kill these poor orphans.

"Luckily, you finally escaped." Lin Taiping didn't want to worry about the details in the middle. What made him wonder now is that since so many years have passed, why is Marquis Grandet suddenly remembering that he would send someone to catch you back?"

"Because, he still wants to be a member of parliament." Christine replied calmly, "Being a great nobleman cannot satisfy him, so he plans to participate in this year's parliamentary election and take control of the highest power of Ivory Island."

In fact, Marquis Grandet is about to succeed. His wealthy spending money, deep connections, and his role as a moral gentleman and philanthropist for many years, have won the trust and support of the common people. These factors combined have made him far ahead in this year's election and left many competitors behind.

But at this moment, those competitors who were forced to do so suddenly threw a deep water bomb. In just a few days, a rumor was circulating throughout the Ivory Island - the marquis of kindness, kindness, morality and justice, who had once seized all his brother's assets and drove a group of nieces out of Ivory Island...

It is conceivable how powerful this gossip is, Marquis Grandet was so anxious that he was attacked, and his good image he had established over the years was shaky. So in order to restore his reputation and to prove that these were just rumors, he immediately ordered Gerbrin to take people out to sea to find Christine and the others to come back.

"So, as long as you return to Ivory Island to testify, Grandet can solve this trust crisis?" Lin Taiping finally understood why Gebrin didn't dare to kill Christine and the others directly. "However, I still don't understand, how dare Grandet be sure, you will prove his innocence, instead of a counterattack?"

"It's very simple, because of the curse." Christine tried hard to calm herself down, but her eyes were still full of anger. "Boss, I always thought that the curse on me was stained over the years, but I didn't know until a few days ago that before I left Ivory Island, Grandet had asked for help and cast a lurking curse on me."

In fact, it was not just Christine who was cursed, but even Vivian and the others were not spared. What's even more despicable is that this curse has an incubation period. Although it would not explode immediately at that time, as Vivian and the others grew up, they would suddenly explode one day, just like Christine...

"Okay, this guy is indeed a hypocrite." Lin Taiping couldn't help but be speechless. Because the curse had a long incubation period, when Christine and the others suddenly had an attack one day, because time had passed for a long time, no one would suspect Grandet again.

In this way, Grandet could receive assets in vain and shed a few tears at Christine's funeral... Well, this is indeed a sinister and vicious plan. Perhaps the only thing Grandet didn't expect was that Christine and the others could escape from Ivory Island at that time.

Now, when Gerbrin finds Christine, he uses this lurking curse as a threat. If Christine does not do what they say, not only will he die of serious illness, but even more than a dozen sisters will die one after another. This is obviously a price that Christine cannot bear.

"A perfect plan, it's a perfect plan." Lin Taiping couldn't help but applaud when he heard this. To be honest, a person who can be so sinister, despicable, vicious and shameless can be called a master among hypocrites.

"But, boss, you suddenly appeared..." Christine sighed softly, as if thinking of the tragic fate of Vivian and the others, her face couldn't help but feel much more gloomy.

But soon, she cheered up and said with a firm look: "No, boss, I don't mean to blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you. It was you who made me finally make up my mind... Well, instead of being coerced all the time, it's better to fight. At worst, I sneaked into the Ivory Island and pressed the bastard's head with the magic crystal cannon, and I don't believe that he won't hand over the curse."

"Don't be stupid, do you think he will be unprepared?" Lin Taiping couldn't help rolling his eyes and rubbed Christine's long red hair. "And, you don't need to take such risks at all. It's just a curse. I can help you get rid of it, but it will take a little time, and it may... be very expensive!"

As he said this, he lowered his head with a strange face and looked at the ring on his left hand. Christine opened her eyes wide and looked along his gaze. She couldn't help but look confused: "It's very expensive? What does it mean to be very expensive?"

"No explanation, in short, we must work hard to make money and prepare enough magic crystals." Lin Taiping snatched her cup and finished the coffee without hesitation.

Under the dim sunset, he looked at the sunset thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a long time, he suddenly turned his head and showed that standard demonic smile-
Chapter completed!
