Chapter 453: Table Theater
Chapter 453: Table Theater
After greeting each other, the two did not continue the conversation because the agent lady seemed to have no interest in it. The scene became cold for a while. Blowing in the sea breeze and feeling the refreshing sea breeze above the sea, Jiang Xun prepared to find a place to take a nap.
When Clorinde saw this, she shifted her gaze from the sea to Jiang Xun.
"Is Mr. Jiang tired?"
"'Not really, I just thought it was a good way to kill time."
The environment is comfortable and the climate is pleasant. It's a good time to sleep. It's a pity that Du Lin is not here, otherwise I would have an extra soft pillow.
As for why he was not there, it was probably because he had reached some kind of agreement with Ying and Paimon that they would take the former with them when they ate, while Du Lin would provide them with protection at the critical moment.
Jiang Xun expressed his understanding of this. After all, he could indeed eat different delicacies with them. It was not that he was tired of cooking for Du Lin. He just hoped that the two of them would not feel sorry for his wallet in a few days.
"Killing time?"
Clorinde seemed to have touched upon some key words when she heard this. After a second of silence, she looked up at Jiang Xun and asked, "I have a game that can help relieve boredom. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Xun is interested?"
"tell me the story?"
Jiang Xun was curious. The person in front of him didn't look like someone who liked playing games... Wait, could the game she was talking about be a duel?
"You seem to have some misunderstandings about me. Normally, I also have my own way of entertainment."
Looking at the other person's expression, she guessed that he must have misunderstood something, so she explained lightly, but Jiang Xun vaguely heard helplessness in her tone. Obviously, this was not the first time she had encountered such a misunderstanding, but she could understand it. After all, due to her job and personality, it was reasonable for her to be misunderstood.
It was a peaceful explanation.
"Excuse me, please go ahead."
Seeing that it was not an execution competition, Jiang Xun became curious again.
"I wonder if Mr. Jiang has ever played board games?"
Clorinde asked, but as soon as she finished her words, she found that Jiang Xun opposite her had taken out two chairs and a table with cards already laid out on it.
"See these? I won all of them from the people on the previous ship."
He showed off the cards in his hand. He won a lot of money in his last trip to Inazuma. Now he has a lot of cards in his hand. There are many types, including some with very powerful effects.
......
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
Shaking her head, Clorinde explained again: "I am going to talk about another kind of game. Have you ever heard of the Table Theater?"
"Appreciate further details."
Jiang Xun didn't know this name, but since it came from the other party's mouth, it must not be something made up. He put away the cards and waited for the other party's explanation.
After some explanation, Jiang Xun finally understood the ins and outs of it. The so-called tabletop troupe was similar to the group-playing mode he had experienced before he traveled through time. That is, players made choices based on the plot according to the characters they had selected in advance, leading to different endings.
"Well, that's about it. This way of playing is very niche, but if you just want to kill time, it's completely sufficient."
Nodding, Clorinde continued, "But it's best to find a few more people to play this mode together, otherwise the plot will be bland without the entanglement between different characters."
Having said that, Clorinde fell into deep thought, apparently thinking about who to invite to join her for the fun.
As far as she could remember, Navia was the only one who liked this kind of game. As for the others, she had hardly any contact with them other than work. Would it be presumptuous to ask her suddenly?
"Sounds interesting."
After hearing the other party's explanation, Jiang Xun immediately became interested, but he was not interested in this kind of tabletop playing house, but in the plot and gameplay.
For him, no matter how good the plot and gameplay are, it is difficult to feel involved. However, Jiang Xun already has a way to solve this problem. He just needs to gather all the people together before he can start.
"So, are you willing to join this game? In that case, how about we try our hand first? I just happened to remember a single-player plot of a tabletop theater troupe."
"If I could, I would, but I don't think I have enough time."
Pointing to the Hailu Harbor that was vaguely visible not far away, Jiang Xun said with a smile.
A long time passed unknowingly during their conversation just now, but both of them were so absorbed in the conversation that they hardly noticed the passage of time.
Seeing this, Clorinde had to temporarily give up the idea of further "teaching".
"Well, I do have some work to deal with. I'll come back to you after I'm done."
After that, she stopped talking, turned around, looked at the sea and lowered her head in deep thought, not knowing whether she was thinking about the table theater troupe or the next job.
When the boat docked, the two said hello and then parted ways.
After stepping into the territory of Fontaine again, Jiang Xun didn't meet any acquaintances. He calculated the time and found that there was still some time before the trial of the lawsuit that Yan Fei was about to fight, so he was not in a hurry to rush to Fontaine Court.
"Oh no, someone come quickly, someone is upset!"
Not long after, a panicked voice was heard from the originally noisy Hailu Port, attracting the attention of many people. They all looked at the calm sea, then looked at the person who spoke and asked hurriedly.
"Who can't think straight? Where are the people?"
"Yeah, why didn't I see it?"
Everyone looked at the first person, and the latter was also confused. He rubbed his eyes and found that the sea was still calm, without even a ripple. How could there be such a person who couldn't get over the problem?
"I clearly saw that person just walk into the water."
He explained, but when he looked around, the sea was calm and there were no footprints around.
"Maybe I saw it wrong?"
"Damn it, you're making fun of us, aren't you?!"
"That's right, don't talk nonsense next time, I haven't finished my work yet."
Seeing this, everyone left cursing, leaving only the man at the beginning who was a little confused.
"Strange, I shouldn't have seen it wrong."
He touched his head and finally attributed it to problems with his eyes, then left.
Jiang Xun, who caused all this, was swimming in the water at this time.
There are many kinds of creatures on the seabed of Fontaine, and the scenery alone is not inferior to many other places.
While admiring the beautiful scenery under the sea, Jiang Xun swam in one direction. After a few minutes, a huge building under the water appeared in his eyes.
Melo Petersburg, I'm so hot!
I have nothing to do, so I just come here to chat with the Duke and have some fun.
After all, there are many talented people in Mellow Petersburg. Many news reported in the Tidy Bird newspaper involve prisoners there, and there are all kinds of people doing all kinds of things. It is no problem to say that there are many talented people there.
