Early the next morning.
Xia Zuoyi and others took the opportunity to leave the residence arranged by the envoy under the cover of Fernandi.
They came out disguised as businessmen in inconspicuous places.
Judit made small changes to his hairstyle, eyebrows, eyes, etc., while Valk changed into a lighter knight costume and wore a helmet to cover his face.
Zoe Xia: "Let's go see the Dream that Duke Bill left behind."
Judit nodded, without addressing the lord, and officially entered the role of his brother.
Valk laughed and called out to the young master, inquired ahead and led the way.
They wear clothes characteristic of the Kingdom of Hurghada.
Xia Zuoyi even covered a thin little cloak outside.
Because of its proximity to the Aibuting River, Hurghada often has a cool river wind blowing from the river, so the people of Hurghada often wear a very light and beautiful shawl or cloak to protect against the wind. .
Xia Zoe wrapped her fingers around the tie that hung down from the cape hat.
It is artificially woven, delicate and soft. He rolls the lace into a round ball and loosens it, watching the lace fall naturally and then grab it back, completely enjoying himself.
Judit followed behind Valk with the corner of his little cloak, and from time to time he had to pay attention to Lord Lord not to bump into others.
"Master, here we are."
Valk's voice suddenly sounded in front, and said with a smile: "This port is where Duke Bill's relic, the Dream, is parked."
Xia Zoe raised her head.
A shabby-looking hull covered with mottled marks of time suddenly caught his eye.
This ship is more imposing and grand than all the hulls he has seen before. It is obviously the preparation that Duke Bill made before he went to sea to explore other land. It must have cost a lot of manpower and funds.
When the Dream was built, it must have been a spectacular event in Hurghada, and until now, Duke Bill is remembered by the world.
His deeds were also compiled into stories and spread throughout the Western Continent.
Xia Zoe couldn't help but sigh, Duke Bill is indeed a man with max luck.
Even if he did not hand over the route of the sea and the things he got on other continents to His Majesty the King who was in power at the time of Hulcuta.
After that, he secretly left from Hurghada overnight and lived in other kingdoms incognito.
But it's not hard, and it can even be said to be leisurely.
Xia Zoe heard Rodney mention it, and Duke Bill wrote in his notes, which is actually the character's autobiography—he is a person who naturally pursues excitement and freedom, and does not want to be bound by any artificial constraints.
If there is no freedom, he would rather leave this world and return to the embrace of the Creator God.
This shows what kind of character Duke Bill is.
He is the only one who has ever reached another continent.
Therefore, in order to commemorate him, the people of Hurghada built a bronze statue on top of the Dream.
The ship was later taken over by the royal family, and it was protected around the hull and made a scenic spot to watch.
Valk also inquired that they could go on the boat to see, but they had to pay.
- A person needs to pay fifty silver coins to be allowed to board the ship.
Xia Zoe: "..."
The royal family of Hurghada... I don't know who is in charge of the Dream, but they are very business-minded.
**
Of course, Xia Zuoyi paid money for all three of them without hesitation, and then boarded the ship full of gifts of years under the leadership of the servant.
The servant said: "Three gentlemen, if you are lucky enough, you can see the big white fish near the Dream."
"These big white fish live in the Aibutin River, and they often swim around and play around, and they look very cute."
Judit nodded, indicating that he knew.
"Then, I wish you a pleasant viewing." The servant turned and left.
The Hurghadas have long exhausted their curiosity about the Dream over the years.
They are usually satisfied with a glimpse of the big ship at the port, after all, the cost of boarding is too expensive for many people to afford.
What's more, there is a time limit for viewing after boarding the ship, which many people think is not worth it.
Usually, the people who come on a whim and are willing to pay the boarding fee are outsiders.
They were new to Duke Bill's deeds, so they came up and wanted to experience the Dream that sailed on the boundless sea at close range.
Xia Zoe was slightly interested in the big white fish mentioned by the servant.
But it was forgotten for a while, after all, it was a very interesting thing to explore on a ship that seemed to be very old.
At this moment, Valk walked to Judit's side and said softly, "Let's go around separately to inquire about the news. You take the young master with you."
Judit headed.
**
Xia Zuoyi, as a very well-behaved and sensible younger brother, followed Judit's side.
After a while.
They came to the deck on the other side of the Dream, and happened to meet a young man rushing into the cabin, with an excited and frenzied expression on his face.
Xia Zoe pulled Judit's clothes and looked over curiously, and muttered, "What's the matter with him?"
Standing aside, the waiter in charge of the safety and maintenance of the ship heard the words and replied: "This person often does this. As long as he saves enough money, he will board the Dream and watch it once, although he has seen it no less than a dozen times before."
There is no rant in the words.
Xia Zoe and Judit looked curious and puzzled.
Judit: "Can you tell us more about it?"
He went up to talk and gave the waiter a lot of copper coins.
The waiter immediately put up the copper coins with a smile on his face, and then explained: "This person is called Samuel Fern, and he is a famous lunatic in our city."
"Fern is called a lunatic because he worships Duke Beal so much and dreams of one day sailing like Duke Beal."
"But everyone clearly understands that this is impossible."
When the waiter said the last sentence, there was a hint of ridicule on his face, obviously disapproving of the young man named Samuel Fern.
Whether it's him or his dreams...
"Why?" Xia Zuoyi couldn't help asking.
The waiter said, "Of course it's because Samuel Fern is just a commoner."
"He doesn't have the status of a nobleman, and he doesn't have enough money to hire a man-made boat. I heard that he usually can't even eat enough to eat, just to save money to take a look on the Dream and experience Duke Bill's sailing at sea. mood."
Xia Zuoyi knew that he was an avid fan.
He shook the corner of Judit's clothes and gestured for Judit to continue to ask the waiter for news.
He turned and walked with his hands behind his back.
Soon.
Xia Zoe found that not far on the deck, a man in a white cloak stood motionless and looked at the river.
Xia Zuoyi looked at him several times, like a statue that couldn't move.
So, Xia Zuoyi walked over curiously.
He also wanted to see what was so attractive on the river. Could it be the big white fish
But when Xia Zuoyi approached, he realized that he was still a short distance away from looking at the river with his height.
This is a bit embarrassing for the lord.
…
Xia Zuoyi's hands were on the bulwark, and his head could be fully exposed, but it was only stuck around his neck, so far...
He wanted the bulwark to reach his chest like the man in the white cloak next to him, obviously he had to make it longer.
Looking at the river in this way is really obstructed.
So Xia Zuoyi moved a wooden barrel over and stepped on it. Well, this time the height is enough.
The man in the white cloak obviously didn't pay any attention to any movement beside him.
Xia Zoe was lying on the wooden bulwark and felt the river wind blowing.
The river surface of the Aibuting River is extremely wide, the river is green, and the sparkling water flows slowly, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and birds often fall to feed...
The scenery is really good, but there is no reason to keep sticking here and watching.
Xia Zuoyi didn't quite understand the behavior of the man beside him.
After a while, he decided to jump off the barrel and turn away.
However, at this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the slightly calm river...
Something was clearly swimming towards it from below the river.
But after swimming to a certain distance, it did not get close, but hovered at a position not far from the Dream, but it happened to be clearly visible, and even the birds that were resting on the water nearby were startled and flew up.
Xia Zuoyi clearly felt a little movement in the man beside him.
He got closer to the bulwark and stared at the water, and without turning his head it made one feel that he was very focused.
The "big thing" that caused the movement of the river finally appeared - their body color was very light, it was a very unique white, and they were round and plump, their foreheads protruded outward, their beaks were short, and their lip lines were wide...
"Moby Dick?!"
Xia Zoe was very surprised and surprised. He didn't expect to see such a lovely creature as a beluga in the harbor of Hurghada.
They are a bunch of naughty and playful big cuties.
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but tiptoe to look.
Just at this moment, a low voice with a cold texture came from the side.
"Are they called belugas?"
Xia Zuoyi turned his head subconsciously, just in time to meet the man's eyebrows.
He was a little surprised, because the man's eyes turned out to be very light gray, and even the few strands of hair that emerged from the cloak were light silver.
The whole person has a cold temperament and a handsome appearance.
The man stared at himself seriously.
Xia Zoe nodded and hummed.
The man turned his head and stopped talking.
Xia Zoe thought that the big white fish mentioned by the servants after getting on the boat should be beluga whales. They like to surface and have a lively personality.
The weather will change, and the number of beluga whales should be migrating away from the estuary.
The man stood beside the bulwark for so long, wouldn't he have been waiting for the white whale to appear
After all, after getting an affirmative answer, he turned his head again and stared at the beluga whale very intently and continued to look.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like a statue suddenly taking on life and breath.
Xia Zuoyi soon stopped worrying about the man's behavior.
He listened to the cheerful singing voice of the beluga whales, watched them play in the water with their wide tails, dive from time to time, and rise again from time to time...
Birds who were previously startled by them and flew, saw no danger and slowly landed on the water, or elegantly groomed their feathers or single-mindedly wanted to fish.
Xia Zoe saw a naughty beluga slowly approaching a bird with gray and black feathers.
The bird was staring intently at the surface of the water in search of prey, completely oblivious to the "danger" behind him until the water swayed away.
Until this mischievous beluga suddenly opened its mouth and bit down at its tail feathers.
"Gah!"
The bird was terrified.
The beluga cracked its mouth as if laughing.
It obviously didn't really want to bite, but was frightening the bird. It was full of playfulness, and it couldn't help but want people to pat its big round and bulging head for education.
And the bird flying in the air kept quacking, and after a while, it rushed down like a fighter jet, as if to show it with actions: Gan! You fucking kill me!
But the beluga whale had already dived again alertly.
Xia Zoe: Hahahahaha.
He pursed his lips and almost laughed, waiting, the birds are also revengeful.
Sure enough, when the bird found that it couldn't peck the beluga whale, it fell back to the water and continued to focus on fishing, pretending that nothing had happened.
After waiting for a while, the previous beluga came up secretly again, and once again behaved "badly" and swam to the black and gray bird.
However, this sneak attack by the Beluga was obviously an extremely unsuccessful attack.
The moment the black-and-grey bird approached, it turned its head and pecked at the rounded bulging head of the beluga whale.
"Ha ha."
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help laughing out loud. He saw the beluga whales swimming pitifully and quickly into the beluga group to find comfort.
The man beside him was clearly exuding a very pleasant aura.
