The floating passenger ship "Forward", a "Fortune" luxury passenger cruise ship with a total length of 107 meters, is produced in Oran Surro Shipyard.
There are two third-class cabins (large public cabins), ninety second-class cabins (three-person rooms), fifty first-class cabins (two-person/three-person rooms), and 20 VIP rooms (ten for two-person and single-person rooms), theoretically The passenger capacity is 500 people, and the average passenger capacity is about 340 people.
Unlike the large passenger ships with their own game rooms, dance halls, and swimming pools in the future, the first-generation floating boat passenger transportation technology is not mature, and most of the warehouses are power rooms and energy pools that are constantly operating. Now in the harsh external environment, more magic crystal artillery and air knights will be installed.
Although it has been three and a half years since it was completed and put into operation, there have been nearly 100 round-trip routes across the country, but due to the careful maintenance of the crew and the financial support of the strong background, it looks like a new ship.
Captain Knott has always been proud to be the owner of the ship, and even privately called the ship his "most beloved little daughter".
But now, I am afraid that even the daughter and his father will not recognize this.
There were cracks all over the smooth and dull yellow deck. One of the four floating engines stopped completely with black smoke, and the other stopped from time to time. As a result, the boat tilted frequently, scaring the driver to dare not relax at all times.
The sail that steered the wind was thrown away after half of it was burned, but the empty flagpole was not alone, because it had been broken, and the topmost VIP cabin was also completely destroyed.
Fortunately, when the shock wave arrived, everyone took refuge in the large cabin, which did not cause any accident to those valuable guests. Now, the only people who can afford the VIP ticket of the "tookie" version are the royal families, the great nobles, and the great businessmen, who die once. Dozens of words, I'm afraid the ship owner can't bear it.
The distinguished guests are very reasonable, but now the cabins of the senior crew members such as the vice-captain, bosun, and chief mate have been given up for the use of these frightened guests.
The most luxuriously decorated and luxurious captain's room with the latest facilities? It was already taken by the "guest" who concealed his identity and boarded the ship, and it was the captain who took the initiative to let it go.
Captain Nott had 20 years of experience in smuggling ships, but he took the initiative to join the Oran Navy during the war with the Sea Clan. The driver armed the cargo ship attacked the supply line of the Sea Clan, and fought in pieces for three and a half years. Not amazing, but also a qualified soldier.
With the fall of Ms. Storm, it became clear that the entire Oran country had withdrawn the war, and he also chose to retire. Later, the Oran official thought of his past background and recommended him to be the captain of this trial operation warship, at least He's been doing really well over the years.
As a former Oran soldier, how could he not know Roland.
Without the reinforcements from the Lan Alliance, I am afraid that the Oran country is still a vast ocean, and the name Roland is directly related to the fall of Ms. Storm, and his disciples and subordinates participated in the recovery of the entire capital. In the difficult battle, the Grey Elf Anti-Knight is a powerful unit comparable to the battleship group, and the addition of various new combat equipment has strengthened the alliance between Oran and the Lan Alliance.
Not to mention the reality of the Oran people, the exchanges between countries have always been like this. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and strong countries do nothing and people follow. This is nothing new.
Therefore, when the captain recognized Roland for the first time, he did not hesitate to protect him.
Yes, protection, the whole body is burnt like that. According to common sense, it seems that there is a possibility of sudden death at any time. It is strange that those who have such a good chance encounter such a good opportunity.
This is not unfounded, the ship is from Winston's territory in San Antonio, where Roland is still the most wanted man, the murderer of Queen Maria.
If there are any San Angelo patriots on board who will do whatever it takes to avenge the Queen, this is the best chance.
Unfortunately, Roland fell on the deck and was seen by the passengers, and the news of the serious injury naturally leaked, and it was too late for Nott to block the news.
In the end, he could only make some precautionary arrangements.
Not to mention, these arrangements are really not in vain, he really guessed correctly, Master Raiking, who was asked to guard, caught two hot-blooded young people with poisonous daggers that night...
But soon, the captain realized that he was thinking too much. After only a few hours, His Royal Highness Roland, who had regained consciousness, recovered quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he was arguing about his injury and boredom, and wanted to find some fun to pass the time.
In desperation, Nott sent his first mate and several strong guards to play cards with the big guy to pass the time.
In less than two hours, they all came out.
reason? The wounded and strongest paladin actually won everyone's money in just half an hour. His superb gambling skills... a thousand skills make people suspect that he is really a man who takes abstinence and strict self-discipline as his creed. of Paladins.
Finally, he said, Captain Nott also lost his position as a protector.
"There is no need to protect me. Even if I am injured, I can now threaten my existence, and I can ignore yours."
Although it was a bit discouraging, Nott was relieved in his heart. After all, if this person died on the boat because of his own responsibility, no one could afford this responsibility.
Fortunately, the second half of the night was fairly safe, and with the dawn of the next day, Paladin Roland's trauma disappeared without a trace, and he even made bets directly with ordinary customers in the restaurant...
Although I heard that the bosses have many quirks, such as a certain Lanmeng boss who is obviously a woman, but married several princesses, opened a harem, a certain dragon vein emperor in another country, once the pressure is too much, he will speak to the stone statue to himself Talking to herself, even her own queen is said to be tired of men's clothing and the emperor has a fetish for women's clothing...
Of course, such news are all rumors without any authenticity, and I laughed when I heard them in the past, and would not take them seriously.
Sometimes the journey is long, and male sailors gossip like a lot of gossip. The rumors of the bosses are what they like to talk about the most. After all, the best way to increase the friendship of colleagues is to speak ill of the boss together.
But now it seems that such nonsense is not groundless, at least this His Royal Highness from the north, just like the rumors, is definitely not an orthodox Paladin.
According to rumors, he is erudite and talented, but he has never used the right path. More than 30% of the gambling industry and pornographic publications in the entire north are in his hands. The legendary version of the super mercenary group is the absolute gentlemen's alliance. It is his minions who control the entire north. .
Arms business, mercenary business, human trafficking of elves or beasts, these are things that ordinary people can't even imagine, but he has mastered them.
The Throne in the Shadows, the Uncrowned King, the most unoffensive man in the North, the last Knight of the North, the King of the Underworld, he has a series of unofficial legendary titles.
There is a saying that in the north, you can offend any king of the Lan Alliance, but you must never speak ill of Roland, otherwise, no matter where you came from, you will not be able to return alive.
"I really can't imagine that he would be such a great person, a paladin who is a gangster who can gamble, and whose gambling money is obviously out of thousands... But no one has ever questioned his character."
However, compared to the series of legendary sages and the strongest villains, His Royal Highness Roland seemed to be very easy to deal with.
No matter as Oran's former warship captain or a smuggler who travels north and south, Nott can be said to be well-informed.
In this line of work, it can be said that the most important thing is to know people and see people. Nott has read countless people, but Roland has never seen such.
It's not that he hasn't seen demigods or epic powerhouses. In his eyes, no matter which camp immortals have, they have a characteristic, that is, they don't think of ordinary people as human beings. By chance, he encounters a few people who care about reputation and talk nicely. But always keep a certain distance.
It's very simple, you need to send it to the house when you eat, you need independent time and space when you take a bath, and you need to say casually, even just the spices in the food, you can make the people below run and break your legs. It should be.
And if you have a noble status or a good bloodline, it is even more incredible. A glance at you is considered to give you face, no matter how nicely you say it, if you prepare thick brown bread for him for lunch, he will immediately turn his face.
Like Roland, he is obviously a top boss, but he fights with ordinary people... No, I really regard myself as a member of ordinary people, eating black bread and drinking sour ale and betting with drunkards. He will default on his debts, enjoy such a life happily, and even pretend to be drunk and cheat a thousand alcoholics. He has never seen a transcender.
"Oh, at least it looks like it's much more comfortable than those lords."
The cold wind was blowing, and the new dawn was slowly rising in the east. In the period before the sun rose, the night wind was the most hurtful. Nott carefully raised the collar of his coat to make himself more comfortable.
He let go of many things on his mind, which were all hearsay, and had nothing to do with him. No matter how he felt about Roland, it would not affect his completion of the task. customers to their destination.
After this snow-capped mountain range, you can see Baier's extension. With Baier's Dragon Knights circulating back and forth, at least there is no need to worry about safety.
Suddenly, he found a familiar figure on his deck.
"His Royal Highness Roland? What are you doing when you wake up so early? Your injury is not yet healed. You need to rest more. It's not that you are in the cabin..."
The man just glanced at it, and the rest of Nott's words could no longer be uttered. They had similar faces and same smiles, but the emotions contained in them were completely different.
Roland's smile is to express his kindness and happiness, and to communicate his emotions to others. Although the one in front of him is also smiling, he is enjoying his own pleasure from the bottom of his heart. There is no other person's existence in his eyes. The words spoken are only orders that are bound to be fulfilled.
"Yo, I heard that my brother is here, let me say hello and lead the way."
