Chapter 293: Return
Full sails, the brigs of the clipper are propelled by the summer monsoon, riding the wind and waves, all the way to the east.
There were only four professional sailors on board, and the captain, first mate, and other crew members all died on the day of the breach, not by the attack of strange beasts or mutated insects, but because the captain refused to sail the ship, he was hacked to death on the deck by the robbers of the ship, and then kicked into the sea.
If it weren't for the fact that some sailors had to be left behind to control the sailboat, those men would have killed all the people on board.
The ship was towed back by the patrol ship of the City Guard, and the robbers abandoned the ship as soon as they saw the patrol ship, and it was not far from the coast anyway, and the transcendent could land on the unguarded coast after a swim.
The rescued Autumn Sonata finally waited for the scheduled passengers, who were a bit too numerous for such a small clipper, and lost the captain and some of the sailors, even if there were only four sailors who could continue sailing, as long as the passengers could take some of the places.
As a result, Jacques, the only one who had mastered the half-baked art of navigation, became the helmsman of the Autumn Sonata and also served as a navigator.
Marianne stood out in competition with Fabian and Claudia and became the captain.
Fran also wanted to compete for captain, but after finding that everyone had no interest in nominating him, he had to playfully introduce Claudia, who had the largest "official rank", and as a result, Claudia and Fabian both received only one vote, and the others were voted for Marianne.
Fabian is said to have voted for himself, so Claudia's vote is a mystery.
In order to make her dress more in line with the captain's setting, Marianne specially made a few clothes and a three-cornered hat in the city, and carried them on the ship with her other three suitcases.
The captain's most important job is to command Jacques to control the rudder, keep course, keep an eye on the wind, and help her keep an eye on the other sailors.
So after our hard-working Captain Marianne arranged the task, she lay down on the deck chair and enjoyed the sun, and the bare skin was smeared with a mixture of olive oil, lupine and oak extract to protect from the sun, and as for turning the black tea in the café into iced tea, it was a matter of waving her hand to the awakened lady of the water system.
There is not much space on the deck, only three deck chairs can be installed, and in addition to the captain Marianne, there are also the first mate Claudia who loves to sleep and Emma who loves to read.
On the side side, a large line of idlers was guarding the fishing rod and waiting for the lunch supplement to be baited.
Fran was the only one who stood worriedly at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance, the mast of the boat had no lookout position, and Fran, who was named the lookout, could only be on duty at the bow.
However, he also gradually liked the position of the bow of the ship, at least giving him the illusion of commanding the whole ship.
Unfortunately, the ship did not listen to him, although he came out to get the ship back from the city guard, but it was a pity that the cost of redeeming the ship, the wages of the sailors, the cost of purchasing supplies, and all the places that needed silver coins, were all paid for by Marianne.
So the ship's destination was designated by Marianne as the port of Mousse in Castile.
Originally, Fran's plan was to enter the canal from Grasse in Stuart and sail directly along the canal to the imperial capital, although it would pass through the controlled section of the Duchy of Stuart, but in a shorter time.
If you go to Port Mousse, the journey is indeed safer, but it is only half a month longer.
The reality made the second prince realize that people are soft-spoken, and who pays is the uncle.
There was a burst of cheers and applause behind him, probably who caught a big fish again, the second prince was too lazy to take care of them, it had been three days, he was still angry, and he felt a sense of loss after the failure to seize power.
At lunchtime, the second prince still saw the fish, rolled his eyes, and the golden skin of the roasted fish peeled off, revealing the snow-white flesh.
After the first two days of exercise, Claudia has mastered the technique of "ignition" grilled fish, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, squeezing a few drops of lemon and a few drops of soy sauce, it tastes good!
Everyone was very full at this meal, and even the fat orange under the table was eaten two.
......
The voyage was uneventful, except that everyone noticed that Lily rarely went out of the cabin, and every time she came out, she seemed very tired.
Lily's behavior worries everyone, and Fabian pats Jacques on the shoulder and admonishes him to exercise moderation, only to be thrown overboard by Jacques, who climbs back into the boat thanks to a rope.
Lily's malaise stems from the exercise of mental strength, and after boarding the ship, she locks herself in the cabin to study the method of exercising mental strength.
The exercises were forcibly poured into the brain, which was the same as Ray's inheritance, with the advantage that she could retrieve the relevant memories at any time, but the disadvantage was that she would have a splitting headache when she wanted to relay them to Jacques.
This is a skill common to people with extraordinary attributes, and it is not difficult to understand, but when she actually practiced it, Lily found that just a simple run of the lap consumed most of her energy, and every time she tried to run it a second time, it would make her faint from exhaustion.
However, Lily quickly mastered how to regain her energy by taking a break in a rocking boat, and with half an hour of rest, she could spend ten minutes running the exercises in her head.
Jacques had to sail most of the time, and he had to rest as soon as possible when he returned to the cabin, so he didn't have time to practice the newly acquired "Wind Resistance" technique, and as a result, this animal skin was taken away by Lily, and when he was really unable to practice his mental power, he took it out and studied it.
A week later, Lily was able to lie on her bed and use the "wind" technique to serve herself tea and water.
This made Jacques interested in the art of the Imperial Object, and he began to use his free time to learn "Resisting the Wind", but his entry was very slow, and it took two weeks to not be as good as Lily's piecemeal looks.
When Alicia heard that Jacques had begun to learn the techniques of animal hides, she hurried to ask for the hides and take them to study.
After three days of retreat, Alyssa walked out of her cabin with a few knick-kacks floating around her head.
After Alyssia's display in front of everyone, the hides began to circulate among their friends.
At this time, Jacques knew that the so-called general method of the array spirit was actually more suitable for qi transcendents, and both Marianne and Emma found it difficult to get started.
The second prince was also very interested in the imperial exercises recorded on the animal skin, and asked Jacques to borrow it, and Jacques readily handed over the animal skin to him.
Fran spent several hours memorizing the words on the hide, and then returned the hide to Jacques, but strangely he did not practice the ritual as much as the others did.
On the day when Jacques was finally able to stick the small dagger into the target on the bulkhead with the help of "Resisting the Wind", the Autumn Sonata finally approached the port of Moussey.
