Chapter 121: Rescue Begins
That night, Mars returned to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship.
It was a large three-masted schooner, which, like Frank's in the beginning, was designed for ocean voyages, and is now rested on board, except for the captain and a financial officer.
At this time, it was already past dinner time, and Mars was not on the ship, so the ship's cook naturally did not leave food for Mars.
Of course, Mars was no longer interested in eating, so he found two nests in the kitchen, and after gnawing on his stomach, he went to the cabin of the first mate, Ed.
Ed was a serious and conscientious man, and the sailors called him Iron Man.
He had bronzed muscles and a tall build, and now he was forty years old, strong, and it was said that he had served in one of the Alliance's legions, but no one knew why he left the legion and became the first mate of a merchant ship.
Although Ed is called Iron Man, he is also a reasonable person, which is why Mars decided to talk to Ed instead of just leaving, after all, he is still an employee of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
If he walks away, it will have a great impact on his credit rating, and although there is a reason for it, it may deduct a lot of credits.
The Dawson Chamber of Commerce's mission has 800 credits, which can be regarded as the highest reward for the intermediate five-star mission, but because of the danger to their lives, there are not many students who take this task, for example, this time there is only Mars alone.
First mate Ed admired Mars's courage, he dared to take on such a life-threatening mission at such a young age, and he would definitely have a future in the future.
Of course, Mars only admired the first mate, and Ed was not only extremely skilled at the helm, but also arranged the order on the deck, at least much better than the first mate on Frank's ship.
After knocking on the door, as the hatch opened, Mars saw a man with his upper body muscles exposed, and he was a little envious of this muscle.
"Mars, what's wrong?" asked Ed.
Mars nodded and asked, "Can I go in?"
Ed's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, and a woman in the cabin cried softly, "Ed, I'm thirsty!"
Marston understood that this was the woman Ed was looking for, Mars laughed in his heart, Ed, who looked honest, was also looking for a woman, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry Ed, I'm sorry to disturb me." ”
Ed knew that Mars must have something to do with him, so he responded to the woman and said, "Let's go to the deck!"
So the two of them went to the deck, and looked out at the dark harbor at night, where the dense sailing ships were quietly moored, and in the distance there were figures of people who were loading and unloading goods and overseers wielding leather whips.
This kind of scene is not seen at all in the Barlov world, where in the ports of every city in the Barlov world, only workers and machinery work non-stop.
Ed, who seemed to be used to all this, looked at Mars and asked, "Mars, if you have anything, just say it." ”
Mars agreed, and then said: "Brother Ed, in fact, I went out of the realm this time to find my two partners, after they came to the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind, they never returned to the Holy City, and there has been no news for more than a month, and recently, I went to inquire about the news, only to know that they were framed and sent to Sunset City, so ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ed's face sank, and he became very serious, and said: "The captain said when he left, no one, including you, can leave at will, but I also know that you students take the task just for training, since you have more important things to do, then go for it." However, you have to remember to save your life and wait for the next merchant ship to come here, which of course may be two months away. ”
Mars didn't expect Ed to be so talkative, so he thanked him and wrote a note to Ed, which naturally included words like asking the captain for leave and apologies.
That night, Mars left the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship and searched for Frank's merchant ship in the port of Angela, a merchant ship engraved with the silver moon and the sword's giant insignia.
After searching for two hours, Mars finally saw a large merchant ship docked away from the dock, and at this time there was a light on the merchant ship, apparently in the cabin.
Mars approached gently, but there was no sentry on the merchant ship, and he soon came to the door of the ship, where he heard a man's voice.
"It's forty-one days, first mate, did you say the captain is still alive?"
"What are you, Vir, who is the captain?" would you not know?" said a man.
"But, it's been forty-one days, and we've found the place we should be looking for, and King Angela is so big, so where do you say the captain is?" the man's voice grew louder and louder.
"That's enough, if you don't want to wait for the captain, then you can choose to leave, if you want to fight the idea of merchant ships, I advise you not to have this thought!" said the first mate coldly.
The man's voice suddenly lowered, and he muttered, "I didn't plan to leave, but if the captain is really gone, will we have to wait for the rest of our lives?"
Suddenly, there was silence in the cabin, as a sailor, they knew that once they didn't show up for a month, it meant that there was less luck, so where would their group of sailors go?
"Okay, don't think about this for now, the captain will come back, not to mention that His Highness Mars will not leave it alone, we will either wait for the captain's return, or wait for the arrival of His Highness Mars. ”
The first mate showed an unexpected talent at this time, and he quickly calmed down the impetuous sailors.
Mars nodded, then knocked on the hatch.
"Who?" the people inside were suddenly flustered, obviously their lives were not easy during this time.
"I, Mars!" replied Mars faintly.
With a "squeak", the hatch opened.
Through the light, the first mate saw a stranger with a dusty face, frowned slightly, and said, "You lied to me? You are not His Highness Mars!"
The two sailors behind the first mate also said angrily: "Who are you?
Mars sighed softly and said, "It's me, in order to prevent Angela's acquaintances from recognizing me, I came to Angela on a merchant ship from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in disguise. ”
The first mate frowned slightly, and immediately said, "You say one thing, prove yourself!"
Marston smiled and said, "I was accepted as a disciple by Mentor Mura in the Ten Thousand Courts!"
After becoming Mula's disciple, Mars told Frank and the others, and these people were close to Frank, and Frank would definitely tell these sailors.
Moreover, it is said that the Ten Thousand Court and Mura also prove that Mars is not dressed as a person from the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind, but from the Barlov world, and in the Barlov world, if you want to go out of the realm, the procedure is not a simple matter.
"Are you really His Highness Mars?" said the first mate in disbelief.
"If it's a fake, Big Brother Pete!" Mars laughed.
And the first mate, Pete, suddenly gave Mars a big hug, and then let go of Mars, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, it was this young boy who led people to take Ping'an Island, and Ping'an Island has become the alliance's supply place in the seven kingdoms of mankind.
He said excitedly: "Your Highness, it's good that you're here!"
The other sailors also looked overjoyed, apparently struggling to get by these days.
"Let's go into the cabin and tell me about this time!" Mars's face sank.
Next, it's time to rescue Arbus and Frank.
