The Hague Port, Naru Rongguang Fisherman.
Just like what the fat owner of the tavern said, this is a beautiful large merchant ship ready to go north. The ship was fully staffed and well prepared, but considering that it would not be docked for a long time, the captain decided to take half a day to carry out additional supplies and then sail to the destination in one go.
At this time, the Nalu Rongguang Fisherman ship was parked in the port and connected to the shore through numerous springboards. Many sailors were sweating profusely, carrying food, vegetables, dried meat, wine, fresh water and other things, and ran to the deck of the ship on the jumping wooden springboard. Then, under the arrangements of the boatswain, third mate, and second mate, they are placed in different warehouses for storage.
The captain is a thin, half-white old man named Morgan. His golden hair is interspersed with strands of silver, and his beard is neatly trimmed. He looks capable and majestic. At this time, he was wearing sky-blue tight-fitting clothes, with a long sword hanging on his waist and a leather whip in his hand. He was standing at the bow of the ship, supervising the behavior of all crew members.
Richard took Pandora and several other passengers who were about to take the boat to the north. After checking the tickets, they were led by a square-faced man who claimed to be the first mate, stepped onto the boat on the gangplank, and then walked towards the boat. Go to the cabin below.
Everything so far is pretty normal.
But as he walked, Richard felt something was wrong.
Why keep going down
According to my previous experience of riding a giant ship on the east coast, the lower the cabin, the worse the conditions. Especially the cabin on the bottom floor is extremely humid and may even leak.
But the first mate named Williams actually took everyone to the bottom floor and then assigned cabins to everyone.
After the assignment was completed, with a "squeak" sound, Richard opened the door of his temporary cabin and walked in. He saw that the cabin was extremely low and only barely illuminated by an oil lamp as big as a bean.
The walls of the room were covered with shells, and a cluster of unknown types of mushrooms grew in the corner. There was no furniture in the entire room except for an oil lamp and a bed. It was even more miserable than it was on the giant ship.
Stepping on the wet ground, Richard walked to the bed and touched it. Not surprisingly, he found that the bedding was extremely damp.
With a slight sigh, Richard waved his hand and cast a spell, quickly gathering the water vapor in the cabin, then freezing it into ice, and put it into the space iron ring.
The cabin became dry. Sitting down on the bed, Richard already figured out what was going on.
If nothing unexpected happened, he was tricked by the fat owner of the tavern.
Although the fat owner of the tavern kept saying that he had arranged a particularly good cabin for him, in fact, in order to save money, he probably arranged the cheapest and worst cabin.
But it doesn't matter, after all, he won't really stay in the cabin all the time. Considering that the voyage is not short, he will spend most of his time in the Garden of Eden for experimental research. Before leaving White Rock City, he worked hard to complete the construction of the Garden of Eden and turn it into a qualified portable laboratory. This cannot be wasted.
With this thought in mind, Richard walked out towards the cabin door, preparing to see when the ship would set sail—it was currently in the port, and the ship was too chaotic to enter the Garden of Eden. It would be more appropriate to wait until after the ship set sail.
When he reached the door of the cabin, Richard stopped, turned to look at Pandora, who was sitting on the bed in the cabin and was mumbling, and asked: "Pandora, do you want to go to the deck with me to get some fresh air?"
Pandora raised her head and replied seriously to Richard: "Five-five-twenty-five!"
Richard: "..."
"Uh, okay." After a brief silence, Richard shouted, "Then you can continue to memorize the Nine-Nine Tables, stay in the cabin, don't wander around, don't cause trouble, do you understand?"
Pandora: "One five gets five, two five ten, three five one fifteen, four five twenty, five five..."
Richard shook his head, turned around and walked out, all the way to the deck.
Here, Richard saw the sailors docking for supplies. They were almost finished and were preparing to leave the port.
On the deck, some sailors removed the gangplank and tried to lift the anchor, while on the shore there were sailors trying to untie the ropes that fixed the ship.
At this time, Richard suddenly saw that among the crowd on the shore, the divination woman was standing with a lingering presence, looking directly at her with a malicious look, as if she was saying something.
Because the distance was too far and the environment was too noisy, Richard could not hear clearly. But even if you can't hear it clearly, you can still guess that it is nothing more than a curse or a threat.
It didn't matter. He didn't believe that with the ability of a woman to divine, he could remotely damage ships at sea? Even a formal wizard doesn't have this ability, right
There was a "pop" sound. At this time, the sailors on the shore had completely untied the ropes that fixed the ship, stepped on the only remaining springboard, and staggered back to the deck. Then fold up the last deck and let the merchant ship sail towards the sea.
The figure of the divination woman on the shore gradually moved away. Finally, Richard saw the woman raise her hand in an obvious threatening gesture, then turned and left.
Richard shook his head lightly, not taking it seriously, and prepared to return to the cabin and enter the Garden of Eden.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the other end of the deck.
"Stop him, stop him quickly!" several sailors shouted.
"Huh? What's going on?" Richard was confused. When he heard the sound, he looked over and saw a fat man with a round belly running over quickly, holding a kitchen knife in one hand.
Behind the fat man, several sailors were chasing him, but they couldn't catch up.
The other sailors on the deck saw the knife in the fat man's hand and did not dare to get too close. The fat man ran to the edge of the deck in one breath.
By this time, the ship had completely left the port and was heading deeper into the sea.
Then a group of sailors slowly surrounded the fat man holding the knife and kept persuading him.
"Bart, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please say it and don't use the knife."
"That's it, tell me what's wrong with you. Why are you suddenly holding a knife? Everyone is still waiting for you to cook. If something happens to you, everyone will be hungry!"
The sailors said this, but the fat man holding the kitchen knife was extremely excited. While waving his hands wildly to prevent the sailors from approaching, he said hysterically: "You are all bastards! This is a ship of doom, do you know it? Let's move on now. If we go down, everyone on this ship will die, they will all die! Return to the ship quickly, return to the port quickly, hurry up!"
"This-" The sailors couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words of the fat man called "Bart".
At this time, the square-faced strong man, First Mate Williams, pushed aside the sailor and walked up to Bart. He frowned and said: "Bart, you are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about! We, the Nalu Rongguang Fisherman, have never been out of trouble." How come it has become a ship of doom? Let me tell you, the captain is going to the captain's cabin to rest now. If he comes out later and sees you like this, he will give you a whip! "
As soon as these words came out, most of the sailors' eyes flashed with panic, obviously they were deeply aware of and extremely fearful of the captain's whip.
