"Ready...ready...ready to change strings with the wind!"
"Tighten the rope!"
"Go down and sail downwind!"
"Get ready to lower the sails!"
"Oar room, paddle left!"
"Raise the jib!"
On the slightly undulating sea, the Flower sailed slowly along the current, stopping and going, or making a circle, or turning a corner. Captain Costo's voice, with its own loudspeaker effect, rang continuously throughout the ship, giving various instructions. Twelve sailors frantically controlled the big ship.
According to the size and tonnage of the Huahua, twelve sailors are not enough to maneuver, and the full complement is thirty sailors.
Thirty people work, and twelve teenagers come to do it. They are still pure rookies. One can imagine the pressure.
But anyway.
Under Costo's command and teaching, the Flower was still clinging to the sea, stumbling towards the north pier area. Half a day later, the voyage integrating teaching successfully reached the destination.
This is a rocky beach.
The Flora moored in the bay for a short while, as lunch time, and by the way, training the sailors for swimming lessons.
"The near coast is not like people say, sea monsters eat people, this is not the living area of sea monsters! Sea monsters live in the deep sea, and sea monsters are basically not encountered when sailing near the sea...Of course, bad luck, If you bask in the sun on the shore, you will be eaten by a certain sea monster.”
Costo tried to dispel the fear of deep water among the sailor apprentices, but his words were obviously not up to standard, and the sailor apprentices were even more afraid to go into the water.
Swimming on the beach can be stressful for half a day, not to mention the deep water bay here.
"Captain, we already know how to swim." An apprentice sailor pleaded in a low voice.
"Can deep water be the same as shallow water? It's not the same. You have to overcome your fear of the blue water, it will save your life at critical moments!"
"How come, we are on the boat, and we will definitely not run into the water without doing anything."
"Idiot! Sailing in the sea, the waves often roll up the sailors and fall into the sea. If you can't swim, you don't even have time to support until rescue!"
"Well, Captain, I'm just here as an apprentice sailor, and I don't intend to go sailing."
"I don't have this plan, what kind of sailing do you come to learn, do you think I'm Kosto so foolish!" Kosto was furious, pointed at the nose of the sailor apprentice, and shouted, "I am the captain of the Flower No. appointed by the lord, In the future, you will be the first batch of sailors to go out to sea for trade with the lord! You can fool me, but you dare to fool the lord?"
Sailor apprentices, yes.
I felt like I was on a thief ship.
Kostow also gave up his persuasive words and threatened directly: "I have been authorized by the lord to take full charge of navigation matters, and the advisor of Huahua Town will also cooperate with me. Remember, who dares to evade or violate my orders , I will hand you over to Lord Karl's patrol team!"
Hearing the name of the patrol team, the teenagers became even more timid.
The lord is indeed noble and inviolable, but it is said that the lord is the embodiment of kindness, they are not afraid, only in awe. But the patrol team is very famous - Liszt has always wanted to build the patrol team into a police station where "the police and the people are a family", but it is a pity that there is no hope.
The existence of corporal punishment such as caning is destined to be terrifying.
Karl implemented the regulations meticulously to repay the lord's trust in him, and any civilian who made a mistake would be beaten with a whip.
A whip refused to release the water.
As a result, everyone's face changed when they talked about the patrol team.
Seeing the faces of the teenagers, Costo was very satisfied. After waving the big stick, he turned to waving carrots: "Don't be afraid of the sea, the sea is the same as the land. We can farm on land and sail on the sea. Going to sea is the most correct decision for you, there is endless wealth overseas, and there are women with huge breasts and huge butts!"
"Really... Are there really women with big asses?" A teenager overcame his fear and swallowed.
"Of course, I once went to an island where the war had just ended and women stood in a row and everyone picked. I picked a woman with the biggest ass..." Costo said in a nostalgic tone.
"And then, Captain?"
"later?"
"Yeah, Captain, what about you and that big ass?"
"Later." Costo licked his lips. "Later, I gave her three copper coins. In fact, she only needed two copper coins to spend the night comfortably, but I gave her an extra copper coin. The towering mountain, Gave me an experience like no other, I swear, it can stuff your head in and suffocate it!"
Costo made a circle with his hands.
Very big round shape.
It was so huge that the teenagers were dumbfounded.
Gudong.
Gudong.
The teenagers swallowed their saliva one after another.
"Okay, the break is over, it's time for class, boys! If you want a rough woman, you have to study according to my requirements. When you become qualified sailors, you can also spend two copper coins to spend a wonderful time. Night! Now, dive and swim!"
Boys, overcome your fear immediately.
Aoao screamed and rushed into the sea.
Costo took out a wooden jug from his arms, pulled off the stopper, and took a sip—he knew what these teenagers wanted, after all, he was young too.
After taking a sip of wine, he returned to the captain's cabin, and carefully took out a one-meter-long cylinder from the box—this was the telescope that the lord sent his servants to bring over yesterday. The lord assigned his telescope to the Flower . It was this telescope that allowed him to understand the lord's views on navigation!
"He yearns for the sea more than any nobleman!" Costo feels that his future is bright, and a nobleman yearning for the sea will undoubtedly support his voyage.
It is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to go to the administrative office to talk softly with the consultant Gao Ertai to fight for benefits.
With binoculars in hand, he went to the deck.
To him, the wobbly deck was more stable than land. He picked up the binoculars and began to look into the distance. The distant scene seemed to come to him suddenly.
The wonderful transformation feels very incredible.
"Only a noble noble like the lord can make such an incredible item!"
He looked at the sea level in the distance, then at the thick smoke of Thorn Ridge in the distance, then at a few seabirds walking on the rocky beach, and then at the steepness of the rocky mountains on the shore.
suddenly.
He frowned slightly, and saw that there seemed to be a cave on the cliff of the rocky mountain ridge washed by the sea: "Cave? The mountain here is not high, will there be a cave, what kind of cave? It seems that there was a cave just now." A seabird flies out of the cave, will there be sea jinx?"
Sea jin is a kind of gull-like seabird that builds nests on the cliffs by the sea, and its eggs are very popular with nobles.
Some nobles even specially arranged for serfs to risk their lives to collect sea poisonous eggs.
"Sea venom eggs are an indispensable delicacy on the dining table of nobles. If I discover the place where sea venom collectively nests and donate it to the lord, the lord will be very happy and reward me heavily!" He felt himself Excited, "This way I'll have the money to attract more sailor apprentices!"
