The moment the lightning fell, the entire dark sea surface was illuminated for an instant, and the lightning fell like splitting the sky, followed by a sudden downpour.

"Crash-"

The raindrops fell rapidly, making a "tick-tock" sound on the deck.

Su Mingan didn't observe anymore. He found the stairs to the side and went upstairs quickly to avoid being soaked in the sudden heavy rain.

...It turns out that the reason for the darkness was a sudden heavy rain, not some otherworldly reason.

But it has to be said that sudden storms are unlucky for maritime navigation. Many maritime accidents begin with a sudden heavy rain.

As the heavy rain fell, the people who had been smoking and blowing on the deck did not dare to stay on the unobstructed deck. They turned around, gathered together, and crawled into the cabin below, like a dark torrent pouring into the cabin.

Su Mingan observed these people, and while going upstairs, through the windows on the wall, he got a rough idea of ​​the size of this giant ship.

The Yate is a bit like the Titanic he has seen in movies before, with a total length of about two hundred meters. Its front deck is wide and can accommodate a hundred people, and the middle cabin is towering, six stories high. He is now

It is located between the first and second floors, and there is a small rooftop next to it for enjoying the sea view.

Looking from a distance, it was completely dark outside, and the waves were lapping against the hull of the boat. He felt a little unsteady on his feet.

He went up to the second floor and saw the aristocratic girl Saya waiting there, covering her face with a feather fan...and beside her an unsmiling old man wearing a dark uniform.

Judging from the old man's slightly stepped back position, he should be Saya's servant or housekeeper.

The old man was staring at him with some vigilance, as if he was wary of a down-and-out nobleman like him who did not have enough status.

"The weather has changed really fast." He ignored the old man's gaze and said to Miss Saya beside him.

"Yeah... I never thought that the previous ten days of sailing were normal, but there was a sudden storm today..." Saya said strangely, seeming to feel that something was wrong.

But her expression soon became calmer, her posture remained as elegant as before, and her tone contained some comfort:

"But, Rin, you don't have to worry - the Yate is hailed by the Yate Empire as an eternal pearl, and it is the empire's hope for expedition to the sea... It will never be capsized by a small storm."

Listening to her extremely certain words, Su Mingan felt something was wrong.

This familiar flag...he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

"It's only about two days' voyage from the legendary city on the sea that contains endless treasures." Saya said with confidence: "Just wait with peace of mind, we don't need to think too much."

Her voice was steady and her tone was certain, as if she had never doubted the meaning of her words.

She truly and completely believed in the safety of this ship and believed that it would not sink as it carried the hopes of the people of the empire.

She said, turned around, and walked up the stairs in front.

The noble's room is above the third floor, so the two of them still need to walk up a step.

The white-haired old man followed closely behind her. Without saying a word, he automatically separated Su Ming'an from her by a distance, as if to prevent him from getting too close to her.

Although it is true that his identity is that of a down-and-out aristocrat who cannot be put on the stage...but this old man's guard is too strong, almost making it obvious that he doesn't want to be seen.

Su Mingan walked up the stairs and heard Saya's smiling voice floating down:

"Rin, I know you're a little seasick, but you can't go to the deck of the South District... That's the land of civilians, and you don't have a housekeeper or bodyguard around you. I don't know what those people will do to you...

...If you feel uncomfortable later, tell me and I will accompany you to the deck in the north area, where the scenery is better and it is safer."

"Nothing will happen to me." Su Mingan said.

"Well, I know, Rin is a very powerful person...always has been." Saya stopped in her tracks and turned around at the corner of the stairs.

Behind her was a small round window. The turbulent waves beat against the rocking hull. The night was as silent as water, opening behind her like a big round mouth.

As she stood there, stroking her hair, her blond hair dazzled like the sun in the light.

"I have always known that no matter how difficult the situation is, Rin will definitely be able to overcome it. Even family problems..."

She said and laughed, her tone full of expectation: "As long as you endure it any longer, the legendary land will soon arrive. According to the prophet, the legendary city on the sea is a city in the clouds full of treasures.

...As long as some treasures can be discovered in it, Rin will definitely be able to revive the family..."

After listening to her words, Su Mingan understood.

It seems that this "Yat" is a giant ship sent by the so-called Yate Empire to find treasures. Its purpose is to find the legendary city in myths.

On this giant ship, people of all colors gathered from the At Empire, including declining nobles, second daughters of nobles who were not valued, wealthy businessmen who longed for treasure, adventurers who longed for adventure, and civilians who were responsible for doing coolies.

.

They have different thoughts and ideas, but without exception, their goal is to obtain the legendary "treasure".

It seems that the real game cannot begin until all players arrive at the sea city.

...This should be an extremely exciting treasure hunting game.

As for the current stage of the plot, it should be a prelude, in order to let the players who have obtained the status of cruise ship passengers understand the situation.

The perfect customs clearance route...should only be accessible after arriving in the city.

The perfect route to clear the level this time was not given to him, so he could only explore it on his own. Fortunately, he had the ability to identify portable weaknesses, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find clues.

Following Saya all the way to the fourth floor, Su Mingan saw her door.

"That's it." Saya pointed to the room above, indicating that she would continue going upstairs: "By the way, Rin, I forgot to ask you, how was your date with Miss Naraku?"

She asked with a smile, but there was sadness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Su Mingan suddenly remembered the written introduction about her.

[The second daughter of the Warren family, Qingmei who grew up with Su Lin.

Due to family pressure, she had to keep a distance from Su Lin, whose family was declining.】

...It seems that this Miss Saya does have a crush on him.

However, the gap between their families is getting wider and wider, the Su Lin family has declined, and they have gradually become mismatched.

And the Miss Naraku who scolded him at the beginning may be a noble who is more suitable for Su Lin's status. Judging from the posture, she should have been planning to have a family marriage, but was rejected by Su Lin.

"Maybe it didn't go well?" Su Mingan said.

Saya shook her head helplessly, as if she wanted to persuade her, but in the end she didn't speak.

She actually hoped...that this date wouldn't happen.

But when I think about Su Lin's current family situation... Miss Naraku is the only heir in the family. Only by marrying her can Su Lin's family be able to survive and not be divided up by other forces...

"Miss Naraku has a more direct temperament. Please obey her. She is the eldest daughter of the Mir family after all..." Despite this, she still persuaded her.

She looked at Su Lin, whose expression remained unchanged, and knew that he didn't listen, so she just sighed:

"Rin, I know I can't persuade you. After all, if you achieve something during this trip, maybe you don't have to compromise with other girls..."

She looked at him and held his hand with her white-gloved hands.

"When night comes, you'd better have a good rest first. I'll go up first... Remember, don't go out casually at night, and don't open the door to anyone. This ship is a mixed bag. It's easy for you to take the ship alone without guards or servants.

Someone with evil intentions is targeting you..."

She said, gently letting go of his hand, with uncontrollable concern in her eyes.

"Miss, it's time to go back to your room."

Beside her, the old man coughed.

"I'm leaving first." Saya said softly: "See you tomorrow, Rin."

She held his hand and kissed the back of his hand politely:

"... I wish you sweet dreams tonight."

"See you tomorrow." Su Mingan said.

The feeling that Saya gave him was exactly the same as that of the legendary aristocratic lady. She had a special aura about her. She was noble but not superior to others. Her attitude was friendly and dignified. It was easy for people to like her, but she also made her

People dare not get too close.

No matter at which moment, her back was straight and her posture was extremely dignified. Every step she took seemed to have been carefully measured. Even if it was a simple farewell ceremony, every move she made was just right, as if she had practiced it countless times.

The angle of the handshake.

After receiving his response, she smiled tenderly at him, turned around, and went up the stairs to the fifth floor.

She looked friendly and beautiful, like a golden tulip blooming in the night.

Like a noble kingdom princess.

The barrage seemed to be very interested in this kind of aristocratic girl, and they all screamed at him to hurry up, wanting to see him perform a romantic story about a down-and-out nobleman's marriage robbery, and slap the face of the old butler who looked at people through colored glasses...

Su Mingan ignored these barrages, which were not too big a deal to watch.

He didn't think that this world copy would be that simple. As an important initial character, Saya must have important things in her background that he didn't know about.

He watched her retreat away and made some plans for this mission in his mind.

...At present, it seems that the two aristocratic ladies, Saya and Naraku, are the breakthrough point in his mission. No matter which one of them follows the route, he should be able to get a complete mission.

These two people should be important figures in the entire dungeon, similar to Hui Shuhang and Dong Xue in the past.

If given a choice, Su Mingan would prefer to start with Saya. Her text introduction reads "intelligent, pure and kind". Judging from her identity and background, her basic favorability should be higher. She also looks better than that.

The roaring Naraku-sama is much more normal.
To be continued...
