Chapter 74: Port and Hawke 1

Standing on the pier, Hawke took a deep breath of the pungent smell here and smiled happily. He turned his head and said to Henry: "Earl, come with me to have lunch at home first. Although I have some house in Deepwater City. Short and old, but his wife's cooking skills are still quite good." Henry had already secretly blessed himself with a magic to filter the air, otherwise he would not be able to breathe the air here.

   After taking a look at the surrounding environment, he said to Hawke: "Okay Sir, I accept your invitation. I hope the environment around your house will be better than here."

Hawke laughed after hearing these words and said, "Earl, this is the port area, the dirtiest and the worst place in Deepwater City. And my home lives in the northern area, where merchants and little nobles gather. The place. The street is ten times cleaner than here, and there are many guards on patrol."

   Henry nodded and said, "Then what are we waiting for, let's leave this place." He said that he handed the ship to the chief officer, and everyone left the dock and headed for the North District.

   A group of people walked unhurriedly along the dirty street. Henry noticed countless greedy gazes in the dilapidated houses around him. He looked back and found a lot of tails behind him. The main reason why these people didn't rush out to rob them right away was that Ares walking in the middle, whose huge size made everyone afraid to act rashly.

Debra saw the master’s face a little gloomy, she immediately walked over and said, "Should I teach these dirty mice a lesson?" After she finished speaking, she glanced provocatively at the thieves and robbers hiding around, not at all. Put these people in your eyes.

Hawk hurriedly turned his head and said to the female mage: "Madam, don't get into trouble. Don't worry if there is this big brown bear, they dare not attack us. And if there is too large a battle here, it will arouse the attention of the council. "The female mage snorted softly when she heard the old man's words.

   It didn't take long for everyone to come to the exit of the dock area, and the guards guarding here stared at everyone vigilantly. An officer wearing a half-length armor came out and said loudly, "Explain your intentions, otherwise it is forbidden to pass."

Hawke tidyed up his clothes and hair and took a few steps forward and said: "We are aristocrats from the Angkor Islands. We went to Deepwater City to buy some minerals and magical items. This is the lord of the islands, Henry Angome, behind me. Earl, that huge brown bear is his animal companion." After speaking, he handed Henry's family crest.

   The officer took it in a little astonishment and checked it carefully. Then he found that the badge was genuine and it was still a magical item. In the past six months or so, the spice from the city of Bluewent flooded into the city, and almost everyone was talking about the young earl. Some people admire and jealous of his good luck, while others appreciate his bravery and legendary adventures.

Then the officer handed the badge back with both hands. He bowed deeply and said, "Welcome to the Earl of Deepwater City, please forgive me for being rude. I hope the robbers and thieves at the dock did not give you any help. Big trouble." Henry secretly sighed when he saw the officer's courtesy so thoughtful. As expected, even an ordinary officer in Deep Water City could have such good courtesy.

He smiled and said to the officer: "We can understand your nervousness. I saw a lot of people trailing behind me along the way. Fortunately, my animal companion is big enough that these guys didn't dare to jump out. Is the law and order in the wharf area always so messy?"

The officer smiled bitterly and explained: "The port is a place of riots, and endless quarrels fill the entire area. There is only a very small amount of trade every day, so the council does not pay attention to it. We can only try to prevent chaos in this area. Spread to other places."

   Henry immediately understood the reason after hearing the officer’s explanation, and he continued to ask: “When I came here just now, I found that you were all very nervous. Could these thugs dare to attack the guards?”

The officer nodded helplessly and said: "Your guess is correct. There is nothing these thugs dared to do. Except for the pier, where security is slightly better, other places are more dangerous than in the forest." Henry looked at in surprise. Officer, he really didn't expect the port area of ​​Deep Water City to be so messed up.

  At this time, Hawke reminded him: "Earl, we should go, or we won't be able to make lunch time."

   Henry nodded and said to the officer: "Then I won't disturb your work, let me leave first." After that, he took everyone across the cordon and entered the northern zone a few minutes later. The air here is obviously better than the port area, and most of the houses on both sides of the road are beautifully built. There is a small green area in front of each house with various kinds of flowers planted on it. Many of the buds that have grown look very beautiful.

   Hawke brought a group of people to a small two-story building. He walked forward and knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Dear Juliet! Open the door and I'm back!"

   After a few seconds, the door was quickly opened, and a woman in her thirties ran out. When she saw Hawke, she hugged him and cried, "Oh! My god! They all told me that you were dead in a shipwreck. I can't believe you can still show up in front of me. , This is not a dream, right?"

Hawke excitedly hugged his wife and said: "I did have a shipwreck, but was later rescued by a passing merchant ship. Then something happened. I am now canonized as a knight and own a manor. This time I come back. I will take you and my little angel to live there together."

Juliet wiped her tears and looked at her husband in surprise and said, "You are a nobleman! This is really good news that people can believe otherwise!" After that, she yelled into the house: "Mia! Come out of you!" Dad is back."

   A little girl about thirteen years old ran out of the house after a while. She stared at Hawke with both eyes with a surprised expression, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Dad! Is that you?"

Hawke watched his daughter's eyes become a little moist. He squatted down and said to the girl in a dumb voice, "It's me, my baby, how are you? Come and let me take a look." Mia rushed up and hugged her. He burst into tears.

  The orc warrior standing aside said to Henry: "It's really touching, isn't it? When I was young, I also wished for a father like this, but my father always ignored me."

Henry patted Vaughan comfortingly on the shoulder and said: "Although destiny has not given you a happy childhood, it has given you a strong body and strength to surpass your peers. Nothing in this world is truly fair. All Everything in this world must be won by our hands. You fighters don’t often say that you have to go forward courageously, and self-pity is not your style."

The orc warrior opened his mouth and laughed. He said to Henry: "Head! I think you had chosen the wrong profession, otherwise, you must be a powerful warrior now. I will take your words as my life motto. Practice it all your life."

The Hawke’s family gathered together and cried for a long time. Juliet wiped away her tears and said to her husband: “Once you are done, you will be old, and you are not afraid of other people’s jokes. Now you should introduce me to the husband and Ms."

Hawke took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement. He picked up his daughter and took his wife to Henry's side and said, "Earl, please allow me to introduce. This is my wife Juliet next to me. In his arms is my angel Mia." Then he said to his wife: "This is my prince, Lord Henry of the Angkor Islands. This is his guard Vaughan, and the lady behind him is Dai Master Bra. As for that huge brown bear is the earl’s animal companion, it’s called Ares."

   Juliet heard that the handsome young man in front of her was a legendary great man, and hurriedly gave a dressing ceremony to a lady and said: "It is a great honor to meet your count.

Henry nodded slightly and said, "It's also very nice to meet the beautiful lady and this lovely little girl." He greeted each other and Hawke greeted everyone in the house. As for Ares, it was too big. I can only stay on the green space at the door.

   After walking into the living room and waiting for everyone to sit down, Juliet hurriedly poured a few glasses of water. She said to everyone: "Please wait a moment, everyone, I'm going to prepare lunch." After that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

  Henry smiled and said to Hawke: "Sir, I think you should help your wife. Otherwise, with Ares's appetite, I am afraid that what she has made is not enough to eat half full."

   Hawke heard Henry's reminder and immediately put the daughter in his arms on the ground. He stood up and said, "Thank you for your reminder, I will help now. And I guess the ingredients at home are not enough to buy some." After that, he turned and walked into the kitchen. Mia followed her father closely, for fear that he would disappear suddenly~www.ltnovel.com~ until lunch was brought to the table around two o'clock in the afternoon. There is steak cheese and foie gras caviar, and finally there is a big bowl of vegetable soup. As for the brown bear outside, Hawke bought it a whole roast pig directly.

  Heng used the meal to cut off a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. The meat was fried in just right heat and it tasted good. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said to Juliet, "Madam, your cooking skills are really great. No wonder Hawke kept boasting about your craftsmanship to us along the way."

   Juliet glanced at her husband and smiled and replied: "I am flattered by your praise. If you like it, please eat more." Henry smiled and nodded and continued to eat the food on the plate. As always, Vaughn used a fork to put the whole cow into his mouth and chewed. Mia, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. The fork in her hand fell to the ground without noticing it.

Hawke laughed when he saw his daughter’s expression. He said, "Don’t look, baby, your forks have fallen to the ground. The green-skinned uncle next to you is a half-orc. He is a powerful man. Warrior." The little girl blushed and picked up the fork, lowered her head and started eating without saying a word. The Orc warrior was very happy to be looked at by a child with curious eyes for the first time, knowing that most people used to stare at him with disgust, contempt, or fear. After lunch, everyone was sitting at the table digesting the food in their stomachs. Hawke said to Henry who was sitting opposite: "Count, wait a while I will take you to meet an acquaintance to see if he has what you want. Things, but it’s better not to have too much hope."
