Throughout the morning, Cream led Brad and Duck to group, plan, and draw lots with these prisoners to determine their opponents.
With such a relaxed start, these prisoners were no longer as nervous as before, and each of them began to sign up with a relaxed face.
Some people who don't know how to play cards are on the side, and those who understand cards start to teach some basic rules and classic tactics, so that they can all get used to each other.
Of course, there are still some people who feel that they can't learn no matter what, so they simply don't sign up for the competition.On the contrary, some of these people became interested in organizing everyone to compete together, and began to help the members of Mermaid Song to plan the grouping, arrange the lottery, and then register everyone's name.
And on this first day, in order to allow those beginners to learn the rules of the game as soon as possible, Cream did not start a formal duel.After having lunch with these prisoners, he took out the twenty or so decks he had prepared and started to let everyone practice.
"I will! I want to sign up for the competition!"
After playing for the whole afternoon, a prisoner thought that he understood everything with great interest, and immediately ran to the competition registration office and asked to participate in the competition.The person in charge of recording was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. His head was almost shaved and his clothes looked tattered.Now, he was holding a charcoal pencil in his hand. When he saw someone running over to ask for registration, he immediately turned around, stood in front of the warehouse wall behind him, raised the charcoal pencil in his hand, and said, "Okay, you sign up for the competition." Draw lots first, tell me what your number is after the lottery is drawn?"
The prisoner saw the lottery box next to him, reached in and felt it, took out a piece of paper, and said, "It says 8-42!"
The little boy nodded, looked at the huge zoning table drawn on the wall, exhaled, came to the eighth district, and stood in front of position 42: "What's your name?"
Prisoner: "Wodehouse! Wodehouse Middleton."
The moment he heard the name, the little boy's hand that was holding the charcoal pencil suddenly became stuck.
He moved his finger to the place where the name should be filled in, but after a long time, he couldn't write.
The prisoner at the back looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah! It's nothing! I can't write with this piece of charcoal. I'll change it."
The little boy quickly threw away the charcoal pencil in his hand, clapped his hands, turned his head and said——
"I know your name, I'll write it down soon, you go back first."
The prisoner nodded, then happily ran back to where he had been sitting, and continued playing cards.
Seeing the applicant leave, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the charcoal pencil from the ground, continued to look at the name area under No. 42, and frowned.
"What's wrong."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side of the little boy.
He was slightly startled, and quickly turned his head, only to see Dak standing beside him at some point.
"Ah... Dian... Mr. Warden... I... I just..."
The little boy seemed a little nervous, his face flushed even more, and he seemed at a loss.
Dak looked at the empty name area next to him, and then looked at the nervous expression on the little boy's face. After thinking for a while, he said, "Can't you write the name?"
In an instant, the boy's expression became even more embarrassing.
He lowered his head, tightly holding the charcoal pencil in his hand.Perhaps because his emotions seemed a little agitated, the fingertips of his fingers holding the charcoal pen began to emit some flickering sparks again.
Dake saw the flashes of light on his fingertips, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I can tell you. Don't be nervous, even if you can't write your name, I will I won't blame you or anything. On the contrary, you are willing to take the initiative to help us with such trivial things, and I still need to thank you."
Under Darke's gentle words, the little boy finally gradually relaxed his grip on the charcoal pencil.Those electric sparks also disappeared, and instead, the boy's shoulders drooped heavily, and a depressed emotion stood out on his face.
"Yes... I'm sorry... Thanks to me... I still want to do something..."
After the electric spark completely disappeared, Dak stretched out his hand, held his hand holding the charcoal pencil, and gently took the charcoal pencil from his hand.Immediately, he walked to the wall and said, "What's the other party's name?"
The little boy lowered his head and said after a moment of silence: "Wodehouse Middleton."
Dak raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's indeed a rather complicated name. Both the first and last names are disyllabic. This person's ancestors were educated people. Are they from the same village as you?"
After hearing the word "educated", the little boy's eyes drifted away again, as if touching some sore spot in his heart, he hesitated and said, "No... I didn't know him before, maybe he was from another village. people..."
After writing the name, Duck turned around again, squatted in front of the boy, took his hand, put the piece of charcoal back into his hand, and said, "You did a good job, Jelly. The guy just now It was just an accident, you see, you made up this large wall, the names of almost 300 people and the team list. This is just a small accident, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
Feeling the temperature between his fingers, the boy named Gel raised his head and looked at the handsome brother in front of him who looked like a gentle big sister, and for a while showed a bit of embarrassment.He withdrew his hand in a panic, then raised his hand and tried to wipe his face, as if he wanted to make his face look cleaner.But his hands were full of charcoal, and after wiping his face like this, the whole face looked even dirtier.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to do this. I don't have much time now, but I'll bring you some more water tomorrow morning, so you can wipe it off."
Dakla held the little boy and told him not to move.
Looking at Jelly's terrified face, Dak thought for a moment, then took out a bracelet from his bosom, and said, "Look, this is the anti-magic bracelet I originally planned to wear for you."
Seeing the bracelet, Jelly froze for a moment, then showed a clear expression, and stretched out her hand.
"But, I don't think you need this thing."
But beyond the little boy's expectation, Dak put the bracelet back into his arms, and said with a smile——
"So, you have to promise me that you must work hard to control yourself, can you?"
Jelly froze for a moment, but then became a little nervous.He looked at the place where the bracelet was placed on Duck's chest, and said, "Prison officer... my lord, why don't you...why don't you... wear a bracelet for me? You know... I...have... elemental relatives And..." Dak thought for a while, exhaled, and said, "Actually, in the battle two days ago, I paid attention to you from the very beginning."
Jelly froze again, obviously a little surprised.
Dak pointed at himself, and said, "Don't look at me like this. In terms of combat experience, if I am not number one in our guild, I am definitely number two. People with elemental affinity and those without elemental affinity usually There will be a big difference in behavior alone, no matter how carefully you hide it, some small movements will show your feet."
Dak stretched out his hand, pointed at Jelly's right hand, and said, "At the gate of the city that day, you belonged to the last batch, and you should be one of the bandit members who flooded in like a crowd. I've always been nervous about whether there is any strong one among you." You were a magician, so you didn’t carry any weapons at the time, and you were holding on to your right hand tightly, and you, who had been watching around nervously after rushing in with the crowd, became my target as a matter of course.”
"At that time, our president had already issued the killing order, so I made a judgment at that time. If you don't have elemental affinity, it's fine. You might as well take care of the most vicious ones first. But if you once Show that you have even the slightest bit of elemental affinity, and I'll immediately abandon the other bandits and deal with you first."
"You should be thankful that you have always maintained a kind of restraint in that state. You look scared, but you hold your hand tightly all the time, not daring to move, and you didn't hurt anyone, and then kept When you were captured by us, you obediently raised your hands and surrendered."
"This is very good. Your patience saved your own life. Similarly, it is your patience that makes me think that you can control your own power, and maybe you don't need to wear this thing."
After the words fell, the expression on Jelly's face seemed a little uncertain.
It seems to be a little happy, but there is also a little bit of fear mixed in it.
Dak didn't say much, but turned around and planned to leave.
But just as he took a step forward, his sleeve was grabbed by the child behind him.
"Please... lock me up..."
Duck turned his head and looked at the little boy.
The boy raised his head, his eyes were already filled with tears.
"Please lock me up...or else...I'm really scared...I'll hurt someone...I'm really...really...frightened..."
Seeing his current appearance, Dak felt a little uncomfortable and left.
He glanced at the crowd playing a game of cards over there, then lowered his head again and said, "Jelly, you are a man now. You are not much shorter than me now. In your hometown, you should already be able to help your parents Let's get to work."
When he mentioned his family, the little boy twitched all over, rubbed the corners of his eyes again, and said, "I...my father...mother...they...they..."
Since the boy lowered his head, Dak couldn't see his expression clearly for a while, and said, "They? What's wrong?"
Jelly gritted his teeth lightly, but after enduring it for a long time, his tense emotions gradually dissipated, he raised his head, and said, "My father... taught me some reading and writing...but now I see Wake up...I still don't learn much...I'm sorry...to trouble you...Mr. Warden..."

Dak laughed and said, "Can your father still teach you to read and write? It seems that your family is also a little educated."
Jelly lowered her head and turned her head away: "Yes...my father has read a little... usually in the village, when the farm is slack, he will help the villagers write letters...read letters...and read some stories books for the children...he would teach me to read and write, taught me a little..."
Duck sighed, and said, "You have a good father. But jelly, if your father sees that his son has become a robber now, what will he think? You are too kind. Make your parents sad."
Jelly was taken aback for a moment, but after that, he stopped talking.
Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Dak was also a little curious, and then said: "What's the matter? Don't think that your parents will not know what you have done. Don't think that you can avoid being beaten by your parents because you are 16 years old. You Where are your parents now? Even if you didn't do anything when the robbers attacked Pelican City, I would still advocate calling your parents over. I think they, as parents, will definitely discipline your bastard son—"
"My father is dead..."
In an instant, the words on Dak's lips stopped.
He lowered his head, looked at the boy silently, and after a moment of contemplation, he let out a breath.
In this day and age, it is not uncommon for a father to die.
Even in his own family, his mother had passed away long ago, but his father was suffering from a mental illness, and he began to treat himself as a delicate porcelain doll like his mother morbidly, and even kept emphasizing to himself that his mother did not pass away.Such things are not uncommon.
Therefore, Dak began to feel that he seemed to understand the situation of this young man more and more.At that moment, he stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Well... I'm sorry. Where's your mother?"

Jelly: "They said... Mom suddenly went mad and killed Dad... Then, they hanged Mom..."
Dak's voice stuck in his chest could not come out again.
He stood there in a daze, as if he had seen something very strange, completely unable to understand the current scene.
After a moment of silence, Dak could only shake his head lightly, and said, "If...you have anything to say, you can come to me anytime and anywhere. You didn't do anything in this robber incident. If you have done anything too much, I will plead with the judge and let you try not to suffer too much pain."
"And before that...you should have a good rest first."
At that moment, Dak suddenly felt that there was nothing he could do to comfort the boy.
Although my family is also very unfortunate, but when I think about it carefully, I have been rich and well-clothed since I was a child. Although my old father is very strict with me, even strict and a little perverted... But apart from being a single-parent family, Da Ke felt that this young man really had nothing to compare with himself.
Due to the differences in status, class, and abilities, Dak didn't know what words to use to comfort the boy for a while.It was also at this moment that he began to deeply understand what his president said...
Those who scolded themselves, said that it was all because of too much space, that they hadn't experienced real suffering, and that they were completely a rich kid, how could they understand the real pain of ordinary people.
After comforting Jelly a little, Duck got up and left.After taking two steps, he turned his head and looked at the little boy again.After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around, took out the bracelet from his pocket, came to Jelly's side, and said——
"Although, I don't think you may need this. However, I'll give it to you."
Duck imitated the appearance of his own president, smiled on his mouth, and said——
"You can wear it or not. However, if the bracelet is damaged, I can know that the bracelet is damaged immediately. For other people, it is a kind of surveillance. But for you, I am more Want to see it as caring."
Dak put the bracelet on the ground and continued to laugh——
"When you encounter any difficulties that you really can't overcome in the future, just break this bracelet. I think, as long as I can catch up, I will definitely try my best to come over and help you solve those troublesome things."
Jelly lowered her head and looked at the bracelet on the ground.At that moment, a little light finally began to appear in his depressed eyes.
He looked at Duck in front of him, and then looked at the bracelet on the ground again. Then, a smile finally appeared on the boy's face, and he immediately squatted down to pick up the bracelet, and put it on his left hand without hesitation.
"Ah! I don't mean you're going to put it on...well, all right."
Dak put one hand on his hip, looking a little helpless.But seeing the happy face of this boy now... then forget it.
There are too many suffering people in this world, if everyone can find a little spiritual sustenance, I believe anyone can bring a smile back to their faces...
Thinking of this, Dak turned around and slowly left the boy's side, letting him continue to assist in sorting out the crowd for the competition.
However, when Duck walked over to Cream over there, the sadness that was originally full of feelings was immediately dissipated by the vulgar and rude sound of playing cards here.
"Haha! I won! I finally won! Hahaha!"
