I became the king of villains in the game

Chapter 288 Clues in old photos

The weather is fine today.

Chen Lun and Tracy walked along the Lingyu River in the east district of Peacock City.

This river is a tributary of the Weiling River outside Peacock City. It straddles the Northwest District and the East District. It is a beautiful landscape in the city.

On both sides of the river, there are many bars and dance halls, which are very lively.There are also some families who live by the river and privately operate boating activities. They only need to pay two silver nobility to get a small boat and play freely in the river for an hour.

Feeling the breeze blowing in front of him, Chen Lun glanced at the girl beside him.

In fact, even if she didn't come to find him, Chen Lun planned to take the initiative to go to Viscount Harrington's house and try to get in touch with her father.But since Tracy came to the door by himself, he didn't mind getting some clues through this girl.

"Mr. Jack, let's go rowing!"

Tracy turned to look at Chen Lun, showing a shy smile, pointing to the boats on the river, and whispered.

"Miss Terrier is wearing a long skirt today, is it convenient?"

Chen Lun asked with a smile.

"I'm fine!"

Tracy shook her head quickly, with expectation in her eyes.

"Well, that's fine."

Chen Lun thought about it and agreed to the proposal.

The two came to a private wooden house by the river and knocked on the outermost window.

There is a notice board hanging by the window, which states the price details of boating, opening hours and precautions.

Although it looks unprofessional, it is also interesting.

The window was opened from the inside, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman. After she saw Chen Lun's outfit, she smiled respectfully, even a little flattering.

"Good day, sir and miss, are you two going to row a boat?"

"Let's row for an hour first, if it's not enough, add more, and the extra silver is considered a tip."

Chen Lun took out three silver cups and handed them over. The woman quickly took them, thanked him, and gave him a key.

"Have a good time, both of you."

According to the direction guided by the woman, Chen Lun took Tracy to the trestle by the lake, then unlocked the corresponding lock with the key, and boarded the small wooden boat.

Tracy put away the umbrella, then lifted the hem of the skirt with her hands, and looked at the boat with a little hesitation, as if she was worried that she would not be able to jump over and fall into the river.

Seeing this, Chen Lun smiled slightly.

"Miss Terrier, I'll help you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

Tracy's cheeks were slightly red, and she put her little hand on the opponent's palm.

She couldn't help feeling a warmth coming from her hand, which was steady and powerful at the same time.

With the help of Chen Lun, Tracy easily came to the boat, a strong sense of security surged in her heart.

Chen Lun asked Miss Tracy to sit down, then untied the rope hanging on the trestle, pushed hard, and the boat slowly left the shore.

The two held an oar each and started paddling.

Tracy maintains a ladylike image all the time, and she is extremely careful when rowing. At the same time, she quietly observes Mr. Jack beside her.

Looking at his perfect profile, my heart beat faster.

"Miss Tracy, why don't you tell me some interesting stories about Peacock City."

Chen Lun used the oars to control the direction to avoid spinning in place, and then said softly.

"Like those mysterious things... You know, as a magician, I'm more interested in these things."

"Something mysterious?"

Tracy came to her senses, then racked her brains to remember.

She wanted to show more in front of Mr. Jack, so that the other party would have more affection for her.

"Because Peacock City is a seaport city, there have been rumors of a 'sea monster' in the dock area to the south... It is said that it is a beautiful creature with a face similar to that of a female human, but its body is covered with fish scales.

They also have moving voices, which can confuse humans, but they are bloodthirsty and brutal, often coaxing humans into the water and then killing them. "

Tracy whispered.

Chen Lun nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

Speaking of sea monsters, he couldn't help but think of the deep sea path.

The name of this path Sequence 6 is also called "Sea Monster". The Sequence ability is very similar to this extraordinary creature, and I don't know what the connection between the two is.

The necklace on his chest was transformed after the death of a [Sea Demon] Transcendent.

"I also heard that someone married a siren and had a child, but the end was extremely tragic... These are all from the mouth of the sailors in the dock area. My father told me that it is the territory of the 'Blue Sail' gangster, and he never let me go near it. , so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Tracy added.

"Is it a siren? It's really interesting... As a nobleman, Ms. Terrier should usually participate in party activities with other noble ladies, right?"

Chen Lun asked with a chuckle.

"Well, I have several good friends. Most of them are from aristocratic families, and the elders in the family often contact my father."

Miss Tracy smiled sweetly.

Chen Lun then used this topic to guide Miss Tracy to tell some mysterious experiences in the aristocratic circle.

Looking at Chen Lun's curious expression, the girl seemed very interested and told him everything about everything.

Chen Lun nodded and echoed a few words.

His words were humorous and his responses were just right every time, which made Miss Tracy very happy and felt that it was very interesting to chat with Mr. Jack.

But Chen Lun was a little disappointed in his heart.

Because he didn't get any valuable information from Tracy.

It is still unclear which noble family that opportunity belongs to.

"Mr. Jack, there is a 'cruising ship museum' ahead, shall we go and see it?"

Tracy said suddenly.

Chen Lun drew his attention back and looked up.

I saw several huge white "house boats" parked on the river bank ahead. They were only slightly shorter than ordinary bungalows, but they were even more slender.

With doors and windows, it looks like a house resting on the river.

"what is that?"

Chen Lun asked curiously.

"It's actually the house of the residents, and the family lives in the boat. But they will collect a lot of antiques and small objects about the local history, put them on the table and on the inner wall of the cabin for guests to visit...we call this kind of boat It's called the 'Museum of Cruise Ships'."

Tracy said with a smile.

"This is something that is quite characteristic of Peacock City. If foreigners come here, they can often spend dozens of coppers to a silver dollar to learn about the local history and stories... Each ship carries different contents. Yes, it will be very fresh."

Chen Lun became a little interested.

He smiled at Tracy:
"Then let's go take a look."

The two rowed the small wooden boat to the side of the plank road, then tied the rope to the wooden stake, and then turned around and went to the "cruise boat museum".

After entering, I found that the family was busy in the cabin.The father and captain are explaining the old things on the wall to a couple, while the mother is cooking food, and several girls are obediently carrying the food to the guests.

Chen Lun looked at the notice on the wall at the entrance, and consciously took out two silver medals as tickets, threw them into a tin can, and made a clanging sound.

"Welcome to the Outlet Boat Museum, sir and miss."

A little girl with sharp eyes saw the arrival of Chen Lun and she gave a sweet cry.

"Thank you, generous sir."

Another little girl ran over and said with a smile.

She also held up a plate of oyster cakes her mother had just fried.

"Please try it, there is no charge."

"Thank you."

Chen Lun responded with a polite smile, took off his gloves, took a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth.

The oyster cakes were fried golden on both sides, crispy and delicious, which surprised him quite a bit.

"You should try it too, Miss Terrier."

He said to Tracy beside him.

Tracy hummed, smiled too, picked up a piece, tasted it, and then praised it.

"Sir, you look really good-looking."

The little girl looked up at Chen Lun, and said in a childish voice.

Miss Tracy on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Chen Lun smiled, took out a piece of silver and put it in the girl's hand.

"Here is a tip for you. Please tell your mother that the oyster cake is delicious."

The little girl was very pleasantly surprised. After thanking Chen Lun for her skirt, she couldn't wait to run to the kitchen with the plate, and said loudly that she met a generous and good-looking gentleman. He praised your oyster cakes as delicious.

There was a faint hum from the kitchen.

Chen Lun and Tracy smiled at each other, then walked towards the interior of the cabin.

Along the way, the two looked at some antiques on the table, as well as old newspapers and old photos hung on the wall after being framed.

Suddenly, Chen Lun's attention was attracted by an old photo.

It was a photo of an old factory building, seemingly abandoned due to disrepair.

"This is the Harrington Toy Factory."

Tracy came to Chen Lun's side and explained in a low voice.

Chen Lun frowned.

"Is this the property of Miss Terrier's family?"

"Um……"

Tracy smiled.

"However, it was sold by my grandfather more than ten years ago, and now it has been converted into a slaughterhouse, and the canned pork produced is very popular in Peacock City."

"It turned out to be like this, very interesting history."

Chen Lun sighed.

But his gaze was always fixed on the corner of the old photo, a "decoration" on the outer wall of the factory building.

It was a human-high toy model that looked like a steel doll.

Chen Lun knew what it was.

It was one of the opportunities he had been thinking about!

'The opportunity hidden in the hands of the nobles seems to be a steel puppet...the clue has been found! '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He asked Tracy in a casual tone:
"This toy model looks very interesting. Did you see it when you were a child, Miss Terrier?"

"When I was a child? I don't have much memory."

Tracy looked at the corner of the old photo that Chen Lun was pointing at, and shook his head.

Chen Lun was slightly disappointed.

But Miss Tracy's face immediately showed thought.

"However, I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere recently..."

She noticed Chen Lun's concerned gaze, and then smiled.

"Why don't you wait for me to think about it when I go back, and I'll tell you if I remember it, and then we'll go and have a look... Such a big toy model is no longer available for purchase."

"it is good."

Chen Lun chuckled lightly.

When the two left the Cruise Ship Museum and rowed back in a boat.

Several bodyguards who had been secretly protecting Miss Tracy exchanged in low voices on the shore.

"Miss Tracy slipped out of the manor just to go on a date with that magician named 'Jack'?"

"What should we do about this matter?"

"What else can I do? Tell Viscount Harrington the truth."

The bodyguards shook their heads, as if they had seen the unlucky picture of the young magician.
