I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 157

The communication between the old man and the rebellious man has fully proved that the 'people' on this ship are not peaceful, at least from Julian's point of view, the direct and collateral lines that caused almost all the people on the ship to be wiped out back then The struggle is not over even now.

Julian did not participate in their dispute, and sat quietly on the sidelines, with a decent smile on his face, but his eyes kept sweeping over the faces of those family members who seemed to be inadvertent but actually eavesdropped .

He lowered his eyes and revealed a knowing smile.

No wonder these people have such a contemptuous attitude towards the old man. It seems that all the members here are collateral lines, and only the old man himself is the direct line.

No... To put it more accurately, except for the old man who looked at the direct line differently, the other people seem to be very unhappy with the direct line.

These collateral members seemed to be headed by the unruly young man, and when the unruly young man spoke, the others kept quiet.

Julian listened to it with great interest for a while, then felt a little boring.

The two had been arguing for so long. In the final analysis, what they were fighting for was not the position of the patriarch, but the right to control the big ship after having the rights of the patriarch.

Now this ship is clearly dominated by the side lineage, and the old man occupies the position of patriarch and can control the big ship. A self-destruct device is installed on the big ship. In order not to die with the old man, these sideline members dare not persecute him too much.

In this way, the two sides formed a strange balance, which can be considered to be peaceful, but the appearance of Julian and the others broke this balance. The old man was getting old, and after his death, even if he didn't want to, he had to take the boat to the boat. How could the collateral members wait for so many years to tolerate being picked by two descendants who suddenly appeared at such a critical moment?

Therefore, one party tried its best to create a good succession environment for the heirs of the direct line, while the other party tried hard to prevent them from succeeding.

As participants in the incident, Julian and Owen heard a lot from their conversations. For example, the summoning every few decades is the compromise of the collateral to the old man, giving him a chance to summon a direct descendant Members, but after so many years, the old man has never found a suitable candidate.

As a result, the side line once again occupied the top, the old man continued to threaten with control, and the two sides reached a balance again.

This sounds normal, but Julian felt something was wrong.

First of all, it is very wrong to summon him every few decades. According to the young man, the old man is about to die, so he is in a hurry to find his heir and summon his descendants, but in fact, the old man has lived for at least hundreds of years Otherwise, it would be impossible to summon at all.

Secondly, they said that the summoned descendants were not qualified, and complained that there were fewer and fewer people who could be summoned, but they didn't seem to realize that those who were summoned died on the ship, so they Of course there will be fewer and fewer descendants.

In the end, the two people blurred out a lot of key content in their words, and it was these blurred things that caused faults in their memory and made their repeated summoning reasonable.

To sum up, the two waves of people on the ship are fighting for power, but neither of them has won, because every few decades, they have to repeat the process of fighting for power on one side, but they themselves don't seem to realize it.

Combined with the evil spirits who were obviously dead bodies but seemed to move freely as if they were alive, Julian was sure that besides these people, there must be a black hand secretly manipulating them.

He felt as if he was watching a clumsy play, the puppet performance on the stage was vivid, but the script was really terrible, and the viewing experience was extremely bad!

Julian didn't have the patience to watch them continue acting, and turned to Owen and said, "Don't waste any more time, let's just get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Owen glanced at him: "Do you know where the black hands behind the scenes are hiding?"

The filthy aura of evil spirits was everywhere on this ghost ship. Owen's perception was strongly disturbed, and he couldn't spread it too far.

"I don't know, but I guess they must know." Julian raised his chin towards the old man and the unruly young man. The two are still arguing about how to choose the future patriarch. , Maybe I have already been fascinated by all the beautiful things in their narratives.

Julian guessed that they must have two-handed preparations, and performed different content according to whether the family members on board were direct or collateral, and then attracted them to compete for the position of patriarch.

As for how to act in the future, it depends on what the old man has to say.

Taking advantage of Julian's thinking, the old man and the unruly young man have already discussed a result that is acceptable to both parties.

As Julian expected, the old man had the upper hand in this debate. He looked at Julian with a kind smile and said softly: "Son, I have helped you get the best conditions. When we got on the boat, I brought a treasure map, which recorded the location of the family's treasure." The old man's tone was very light, but there was an inexplicable temptation.

"In order to protect the interests of the family, I divided the treasure map into several parts and hid them in the rooms on the three floors below the deck. As long as you can find all the treasure maps, you can inherit the position of patriarch."

The old man's words are extremely tempting. In his description, this task is extremely simple, but once he inherits the position of patriarch, he will not only be able to own a magical ship, but also dig out the treasures hidden by the family back then.

There are countless gold coins and precious stones buried in the treasure, as well as various materials collected by the family over the years, and even some advanced martial arts and magic notes. It can be said that anyone will be attracted by that huge wealth.

—Of course, only for ordinary people.

Julian already knew the true face of the old man, so it became ridiculous to listen to him bewitching himself.

The treasures of this family are really omnipotent, and there are all kinds of treasures you can think of.It is said that this family may have been powerful back then, but it was absolutely impossible to collect so many good things.

Such a bright bait is right in front of you, do you think I am biting the hook?Or bite the hook?

Julian and Owen exchanged glances, and Owen stood up a little excitedly, and said to the old man: "Please rest assured, the patriarch, I will definitely not let the patriarch down."

The old man nodded in relief, and even glanced at the young man proudly.

The unruly young man sneered, sat down on the chair, and said in a strange tone: "Then I'll see how far Mr. Stanley can do it. Please, don't waste time!"

Owen nodded towards the old man, ignored the young man's words, and strode towards the door.

The little fat man had been huddled in the corner before, quite invisible, but now he jumped out suddenly: "Wait, I'm with you."

"Huh? Do you also want to compete for the patriarch?" Julian raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The little fat man was taken aback, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no... Of course not, I... I just feel safe by your side."

Julian laughed and teased him: "This restaurant is also very safe. Look, can't staying with so many people give you enough sense of security?"

The little fat man cried and said, "Mrs. Laura, don't tease me...here...here..."

Julian was amused by his loveless expression, and then said sternly: "We are going down to find the treasure map, this trip may not be safe."

The little fat man blinked, with a confused look on his face: Didn't he just say he was going down to find a map?There shouldn't be any danger, right?

Julian knew at a glance that the little fat man didn't hear the danger inside at all, and he didn't explain it. He just asked Owen to give him a magic spell to expel evil. With this magic spell, ordinary evil spirits would instinctively not want to get close to him , as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, at least until they come back, he should be safe.

This time, Julian can't guarantee that he will be unscathed. The most important thing... He believes that Owen's strength as a sky knight will definitely protect him even in a critical moment, but the little fat man doesn't have this If he is treated well, if he encounters any danger, he can only ask for blessings.

Owen in his family has never been that kind of self-sacrificing character!

Under the little fat man's reluctant eyes, Owen hugged Julian and left the dining room, led by the sharp-toothed butler Isaac to the entrance to the cabin below the deck.

Ever since he entered the restaurant, Isaac had been expressionless, but there was a slight change at this time. The malice in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he looked at Julian and the others with a bit of regret , obviously he knows what's down there.

Julian didn't ask any more questions. The other party was obviously controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes. The information he had revealed to him before should be his limit. Even if he wanted to say more, it would probably be impossible.

"See you later." Julian smiled at Isaac, and there was obvious disapproval in the sharp-toothed butler's eyes.

I don't agree with them competing for the position of the patriarch, let alone going down to the cabin at the bottom of the ship.

Obviously he has already reminded them, but why take the risk!

Isaac didn't know why Julian and the others did this. He only knew that these two people with a good smell were going to die soon.

……

The moment he entered the lower deck, Julian felt a cold malice enveloping him.He was wrapped up like a drowning person, unable to breathe.

With a bang, a layer of white flames rose from Owen's body, and Julian felt that the cold feeling receded like a tide, and his body became warm all of a sudden.

Panting heavily, he looked at Owen in astonishment: "What happened just now? What is that?"

Owen looked down the stairs solemnly, and shook his head: "I don't know yet."

Julian was terrified for a while, feeling that his reaction just now was a bit embarrassing. Owen probably saw his embarrassment. In an environment where no one was around, he always liked to comfort him by pecking his cheek.

"Don't worry, no matter what it is, showing such obvious malice shows that he is not smart enough, otherwise, the best choice is to sneak up on us quietly and hide in the dark."

After being explained by Owen in this way, Julian also felt that the thing below was really not very smart. Even if he knew how to use the undead on the ship to act, and even knew how to use treasures as bait, but he exposed himself carelessly, Julian I don't think he will be difficult to deal with.

What Julian didn't know was that the thing below was actually not that stupid. The main reason why he reacted like this was that he smelled a bright breath that made him very uncomfortable.
