Chapter 12: Out to Sea
Inside the cabin.
Jona, the ship's doctor, expertly stitched up the horrific wound on the back of the merchant Arbus.
Once on board, Mars drank the seasickness potion and wore a safety amulet, a talisman to prevent the escape of mana, but no forbidden enchanted items, which were mainly used to prevent the Church from tracking down the mage through some search methods.
Toby the Blue Dove wears a safety amulet, which is very useful for magicians.
After experiencing panic and confusion, Mars gradually calmed down and looked around.
In addition to the ship's doctor, Jona, there were more than a dozen people in the cabin, who were either sleeping or reading, and several young people stared at Jona with fiery eyes.
There is no doubt that Jona, the ship doctor, is a beautiful woman with flaxen hair, which is draped over her shoulders like waves, she has delicate features, a pair of brown eyes staring at the wound seriously, looking extremely attentive, and a white coat just enough to cover her young and flexible body, but the lines drawn by the half-crouch make people think about it.
Mars's face turned red, he didn't dare to look at it again, and he couldn't help but lower his head. He was glad that Arbus was still alive, and he was glad that he had managed to get on board.
However, Mars could also feel the hostile glances of the others in the cabin, which made him feel uneasy, and he knew that the place he was about to go to was a completely strange place, perhaps a hidden place, but also an infernal hell.
It didn't take long for the ship's doctor Jona to finish stitching, then covered Arbus with a blanket, walked out of the cabin, and looked at the back, Mars noticed that Jona's figure was really good!
As night wore on, a sailor went into the cabin with a cloth bag, lit only a dim oil lamp, and distributed food to everyone, a piece of dry bread and a two-finger-wide piece of air-dried pork.
Mars had never eaten such terrible food, and when he held it in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, can this thing be eaten?
Beside him lay a stout brown-haired young man, who had eaten his food in three or two bites, then glanced around, and finally stopped at Mars's food.
"Hey, brother, aren't you going to eat?"
Mars looked embarrassed, and did not know how to answer, he knew very well that if he did not eat, he would definitely be hungry, but if he did, he would not be able to swallow.
The brown-haired young man swallowed his saliva, "If you don't want to eat, can you give it to me?" I eat a lot, and this little thing is not enough for me to stuff my teeth!"
Mars looked at the brown-haired young man, who was lying on a plank, in shabby clothes and skinny, but it was not difficult to see that he had a large skeleton and should be two meters tall, but unfortunately his skin was sallow, apparently due to malnutrition caused by a long period of starvation.
"You're good at eating?"
The brown-haired youth nodded quickly, "I can eat a cow now!"
Mars was speechless, thinking that the young man was bragging, but he handed the food to the young man, "Since you are hungry, then eat!"
"Really?" the brown-haired young man's eyes radiated with surprise, and he immediately took the bread and jerky, swallowed it in three or two clicks, and swallowed it in his stomach.
Mars didn't understand how the brown-haired young man swallowed, but he didn't want to ask, but leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
"Hey, my name is Barton, what about you?" the brown-haired young man ate Mars's food, and he thought Mars was a good man.
"Mars!" Mars said lightly, he still had the pride of a prince in his bones, and he didn't want to talk to this commoner.
However, the brown-haired young man obviously had no eyesight, and in the eyes of the others in the cabin, he approached Mars instead, "Ah, Mars, your clothes are so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful dress, can I touch them?"
At this time, two girls in the cabin looked at Mars, and one of the black-haired girls whispered, "That kid is definitely a nobleman." ”
Another blonde girl nodded, "Well, but he doesn't seem to be like ah, most of the nobles are pale and have blonde hair!"
"Lily, you're trying to say that you are not a nobleman with beautiful blonde hair, how can a brunette be a nobleman, right?"
The blonde girl named Lily immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, Mary, I didn't say it, you see that brown-haired boy is going to suffer, if that black-haired boy is a nobleman." ”
Mary also nodded, "That tall and thin man doesn't understand what the nobility represents!"
Mars did not answer, but he was not annoyed, for for Barton's rudeness, he could only attribute it to Barton's ignorance, and what to be angry with an ignorant life.
The upper deck of the sailboat is divided into two cabins, Mars and others in the aft compartment, and the sailors in the front compartment.
At this time, in the forward cabin, under the dim oil lamps, the sailors were dining, eating air-dried hams, drinking low-quality ale, and talking about the voyage in laughter.
Captain Frank and Blue Dove Toby, as well as the ship's doctor, Jona, talk about things in the corner.
Toby had already turned into a human form, and he said seriously, "Although I killed three Inquisitors, I am worried that the Inquisitors will not give up easily, so you should be careful when sailing at night." ”
Captain Frank took a puff of his cigarette, "Not many people saw it at that time, it is estimated that it will take half a day to reach the ears of those priests of the Mother God Sect, and we will be able to enter the sea tomorrow morning, and at that time, even if the knights of Lulin Province pursue, it will be useless, the key is tonight!"
"Then we won't rest tonight!" said Toby the Blue Dove, who looked at Jona and asked, "Doctor Jona, is His Royal Highness the Prince okay?"
"I guess enough chokes, and I heard the sailor say that he didn't eat. Jona replied truthfully.
Toby suddenly frowned and muttered, "When is it, still playing his aristocratic temper!"
Jona wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Captain Frank, "After all, His Royal Highness the Prince has never been treated like this, and after a while, Jona will go to boil a bowl of broth, and then he will be hungry and he will naturally be able to eat it." ”
"Well, I'll go later, but I'm afraid this voyage will take more than half a month, do you have to treat every meal specially?" Joanna asked.
"We can't get used to him, sooner or later he has to learn to be independent!" said Toby, the blue pigeon, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Captain Frank didn't care, "Take your time, not everyone will be able to adapt to their new role quickly!"
......
The night was uneventful, and the expected pursuit did not come.
"Out to sea!"
The cry of the sailor on the deck immediately woke Mars from his slumber, and he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw that everyone else was still asleep, and the urge to urinate suddenly came to him.
But Arbus was still fainting, and his heaving chest proved that he was still alive.
"Abs, Abs......"
He shouted several times, but Arbus did not move.
Mars couldn't help it, and looked at the brown-haired young man next to him, Barton, "Bal ......"
Barton rolled over and turned his back to him.
But the urge to urinate grew stronger, and he had to make a decision, he lifted the blanket, and then, with all his arms, crawled towards the hatch, which he was already not far from, only three meters.
But these three meters were enough for Mars to crawl for five minutes, and when he climbed out of the hatch, he saw the sailors busy on the distant deck, and then he looked towards the side of the ship, and looked at the endless sea, and the raging waves swept in layers, like a man-eating beast opening its bloody mouth.
Mars was completely stunned, this was the first time he had seen the sea, he had heard that the sea was so vast that there was no end in sight, only storms and waves, and if he was unlucky, he would die in the belly of a fish.
At this time, however, no one noticed Mars.
Many sailors were tired and rested in the front cabin, but a few kilometers away, a wave about ten meters high rolled in.
