Mystic Holy See

Aldridge was playing outside the gate of the orphanage with Eve in his arms. He couldn't stand the atmosphere inside. It was the first time that a natural sibling relationship made him feel so uncomfortable.

Carula's first reaction when she saw Herbert was surprise, and her second reaction was to hug her directly. It was a normal action, but it was completely abnormal between them.

Aldridge decisively hugged Eve away from them, but they couldn't let them teach little Eve bad.

After playing with Eve for about half an hour, Herbert walked out with a dark red face on his dark skin. The light was just right in the afternoon, and Aldrich could see the remaining water stains on his face.

In broad daylight, the sky is bright, these two people are not doing good things!

"Mr. Aldrich," Herbert greeted unnaturally.

"Good day, Herbert." Aldridge put Eve on the ground, motioning her to go back first.

Herbert was a little embarrassed, he just wanted to say hello to Eve, but Eve was a little scared of him, nodded his head and ran away.

"Eve really likes you." Herbert scratched his head and said in a low voice.

"Well." Aldridge smiled warmly.

"Mr. Aldridge," Herbert glanced at the yard but didn't see Carula, turned his head and said, "I'm a little uneasy going to sea this time."

Um?

Aldridge was surprised that such words would come out of the mouth of the first mate on the ship. Aren't you afraid that I would give up?

"How do you say it?" Aldridge asked, it's okay to listen, maybe he can receive new information.

Herbert lowered his voice and said, "Recently, Hai... The captain is a little strange. He can't see a shadow almost every day. I think she's planning something, but she hasn't told me at all."

Hmm... Could it be that Helena noticed something?

Judging from the information obtained by Aldridge, Helena, as the last seedling of the Heimard family, is the one with the least information.

The other two families are estimated to be standing on a united front, and they have no plans for Helena. Once the goal is achieved, the possibility of Helena losing her life is very high.

If Helena really investigates something during this time and cannot withdraw under the constraints of the Haimeng, the biggest possibility is to seek self-protection.

Aldridge doesn't think that as a rank 2 Beyonder, he can gain all the trust of Helena, so she will hide a hole card?

Herbert was only talking about a situation, but Aldridge's mind was already going back and forth.

But this is all speculation, the only use is to let Aldridge keep an eye out and avoid becoming one of the victims of this trip.

If necessary, it is also a good choice to find an opportunity to 'suspended death' from light to dark...

"Are you familiar with Ledger and another gentleman named La Masia?" Aldridge asked suddenly.

Herbert said: "I'm not familiar with them. I've only heard of their reputations before. Ledger the Giant and the Silent Singer La Masia are notorious Beyonders in the waters nearby."

"Captain Helena hasn't seen them recently?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so... It is said that they have been at sea recently."

That is to say, between the three parties, Helena hardly has much chance to communicate with the other two parties... Could this be what makes Helena uneasy?

Just as Aldridge became more uneasy the closer he got to the sea, Helena would have a similar mentality.

Aldridge pondered for a few seconds, patted Herbert on the shoulder, and said, "It's always good to be careful. If something goes wrong in the middle, don't be impulsive and give priority to protecting yourself."

Herbert frowned, disagreeing with the meaning of the sentence.

"If you don't think about yourself, think about your sister and these kids," Aldridge said.

Herbert's expression dropped instantly, and he didn't say anything more.

Said this sentence to him at the gate of the orphanage, maybe the effect is the best.

Aldridge has the idea of ​​keeping Herbert, but he can only 'do his best' on the premise of keeping himself. If Herbert's reaction is too aggressive... it will be bad for everyone.

It's normal for Herbert to be hesitant and annoyed. Maybe this is a punk version of "The Dilemma of Loyalty and Filial Piety"?

"Let's start at 8:00 tomorrow morning, remember the time."

"Well, Helena told me."

Herbert finally said a word, turned to leave, and did not intend to stay in the orphanage.

Aldridge also left early after greeting Eve and Karula, and there are still many things to prepare.

...

In the evening, Herbert returned directly to the Zhanlang, which was also his nearest residence.

As the chief mate, he will not be as free as the crew members. If there are no special circumstances, he will usually live on the ship, and he has become used to it after so many years.

Boarded the deck and greeted the sailor in charge of the night. He planned to go back to the cabin to rest, but when he passed the captain's room, he found that the lights were still on inside.

After thinking about it, he knocked on the door.

"Captain," whispered Herbert.

"Just call me Helena... I've said it many times." Helena was looking at the chart, tired and dissatisfied when she heard his greeting.

Herbert was silent, pretending he hadn't heard the words.

He is a boring gourd and a person who strictly abides by the rules. After he officially took office as the first mate of the Zhanlang, his relationship with Helena has become a superior.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" he said in a muffled voice.

"No..." Helena fiddled with her hair, rubbed the position of her temples, and said, "I'm just a little uneasy, I'll confirm tomorrow's route."

Herbert said, "There will be no problem."

"Well, there will be no problem."

After being silent for a while, Helena chuckled lightly: "Don't watch it! It's still the same thing when you watch it again. Let's have a drink. I used to like to drink some dark beer with you guys the most..."

Herbert interrupted directly: "No, we are leaving early tomorrow, and both the captain and I need to rest early."

Helena seemed a little overwhelmed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and a little embarrassed, she forced a smile: "Well...you're right..."

"I'll go back first." Herbert said and left.

Helena looked at his back, a little lost, and murmured: "Herbert..."

After a while, she laughed self-deprecatingly, and there was a coldness in her eyes that kept spreading.

"Herbert, you cannot betray me."

"Only you can never betray me..."

...

April 5.

Aldrich got up early, put the suitcase packed last night, and took the sea camel car rented in advance to the port.

Compared with the mess of props last time, Aldridge can be considered light-packed this time. Of course, in order to pretend, he still brought some utensils for 'mystery'.
