When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 891: Chapter 265: Would you two please come with me?

At the boarding gate of the ferry, Selene in a maid outfit had long been waiting.

From a distance, as soon as she saw Aleister, she dashed over and crouched down to embrace him, deeply inhaling that unique fragrance from Aleister’s body, which only she could smell, becoming increasingly intense.

Selene’s figure was a bit taller than Aleister… After she crouched down, they were about the same height. Because of Aleister and Selene’s beauty, this scene became exceptionally noticeable. Passersby who saw it let out friendly laughter.

“Alright, Selene. Stop it now.”

Aleister pointed out the identity and name of the Honey Badger before saying, “Let’s go.”

“Miss Crowley… right?”

They had just boarded the ship when they were immediately intercepted by a burly middle-aged man who greeted them with a beaming smile.

Some scales were visible on his skin, clearly indicating that he was a half-breed of Lizardfolk and another race.

The man’s arms were even thicker than Aleister’s waist, and he stood about two meters tall. His ears were slightly pointed, his back hunched, his face replete with fierce flesh, and his chin bore butt-like lobed projections. Both his shoulders and upper arms were tattooed with purple-blue anchor tattoos, giving him the appearance of a ferocious pirate leader.

Just seeing him caused some of the guests to be startled. Others lingered at the bottom of the stairs, hesitant to board the ship.

But Aleister had not the slightest fear in the face of him.

She simply asked in a soft voice, “Captain, sir?”

It wasn’t difficult to recognize this.

On the Elf ferry where everyone was supposed to give up their weapons, only he wore a saber and a revolver at his waist.

“Haha, you recognized me!”

This ugly and fierce-looking captain, someone who could make children cry, revealed a smile that was almost ingratiating: “I am Elvan Lachado. The captain of this ship… You are a distinguished guest, please come with me.”

Saying so, he respectfully performed an Elf bow towards Aleister.

This act was witnessed by those around them.

A black-haired boy with glasses and freckles saw this and hurriedly walked to a room, whispering to a gray-haired youth with messy hair inside.

After hearing about this, the expression of the gray-haired youth immediately turned sour.

They whispered to each other for a while, then jostled one another and quietly left the room.

Once they were out, their voices grew slightly louder.

“I told you not to mess with her!”

The freckled black-haired boy’s face was filled with anxiety: “Her butler… looks so terrifying. He gives me the same feeling as Professor Bruzewick…”

“… What are you afraid of, you idiot!”

The gray-haired boy also revealed a look of fear, but his mouth maintained its toughness: “Professor Bruzewick is dead, isn’t he! Transcendents are also human…

“I’ve told you, I’ve seen the price of that dress—if it’s genuine, just that dress alone is worth eight hundred thousand Gold Coins! Even if it’s a replica, it certainly isn’t cheap…

“With such a follower, and wearing such an expensive dress, her jewelry is likely to be supernatural. If we get our hands on her jewelry, maybe we can change our fate—”

“But you got it, did your fate change?”

The freckled boy’s words were sharp: “Dimitri?”

The boy known as Dimitri was left speechless.

“… How would I know that such a high-class lady would wear fake stuff out in public…”

His lips moved, but he was still talking tough.

“What else can I do,” the freckled boy continued to jab, “come wearing the real thing for you to steal? If it were the real thing, it would surely have a tracking ritual, and we wouldn’t get far with it!”

“Enough, Paul! Didn’t you also not stop me when I took action?”

Dimitri said, annoyed and embarrassed, “You had a part in it too!”

“I did stop you!”

“Not enough! Just saying it doesn’t count. It means you wanted it too, didn’t you?”

Dimitri had just said this when he saw someone passing by.

They immediately stopped their conversation and watched the passerby leave before lowering their voices: “How about we return the stuff? Apologize to that miss… she might forgive us.”

“Return it?”

Paul retorted, “What are you thinking? What you have in your hand is a fake!”

“…So what if it’s a fake? Since it’s a fake, it shouldn’t be that valuable, right? So I think… if we apologize, she might forgive us.”

“Forget it! You’re too stupid! You don’t understand nobility at all, Dimitri!”

Paul’s gaze sharpened, and his voice grew louder: “They will never forgive you—they will claim you stole a real jewel and then imagine returning a fake to escape punishment!

“They will demand compensation based on the loss of a real item! After all, why would such a noble lady wear an imitation when going out? If you return the item, she will think it’s an insult—mocking her family for falling into ruin, unable to even lose a fake properly!”

“How could this be…”

Dimitri hesitated, then shook his head: “You think too badly of nobility. Isn’t Albert a noble too? And Miss Aurora…”

“…Albert is an exception. And Aurora… Her parents are dead, and her inheritance has been taken by relatives. She can’t be considered a noble.” Paul hesitated for a moment, his voice growing quieter and more gentle.

“Doesn’t that still show that there are exceptions?”

Dimitri tried to convince his friend to join him: “Perhaps that lady is also such a kind person?”

“Unlikely, her surname is Crowley. People from that family all have some mental issues…”

Paul remained firm in his refusal.

But as he spoke, he suddenly realized something: “Are you just trying to chat her up because she’s pretty?”

“…She’s so pretty, so she must have a kind heart too.”

Dimitri didn’t deny it and simply pleaded with his companion: “Come with me… I’m scared to go alone. I don’t know what taboos the nobles have, or what opera they like to watch… I need you to accompany me.”

Hearing this, Paul became furious: “You’re not after the value of the item, you just want her personal belongings! And you want to drag me along with you, I tell you, no way!

“Don’t forget, we are on a mission this sea voyage! If something goes wrong because of you, the teacher will turn us into walking corpses!”

“—I think the two of you should make a trip. Explain clearly what mission you have!”

Suddenly, a pair of hands landed on their shoulders. A calm middle-aged man’s voice came from behind them.

They turned around in horror—only to see the lady’s butler had silently appeared behind them.

Paul’s mind worked fast: “It was that passerby just now!”

That passerby was actually the butler disguised as someone else!

“That’s right, it’s me.”

The butler, expressionless, exerted slight pressure with the hands on their shoulders and repeated, “Gentlemen… please come with me.”
