Chapter 271 Clerk
"My Kusad is about to turn twelve years old! I have decided to let him train as a knight, so I would like to hire a special training instructor for him in the Musen Domain, you should know that it costs a lot of money!" Bubba sighed again, and stopped eating the blue-scaled fish in his hand, his eyes full of melancholy.
"Indeed!"
Jiasi nodded thoughtfully, he and Bubba have not broken through to the cavalry class for so many years, plus they have been wandering at sea all year round, it is very unrealistic to want to teach children to conduct knight training in person, and finding a teacher is the best choice.
However, the money to find a teacher is not cheap, after all, this job not only takes a lot of time, but also requires professional knowledge, and many cavalry soldiers cannot be trained and trained.
"Sometimes I envy you?" Bubba said with a wry smile.
Jiasi squeezed out a smile on his face, shook his head, did not speak, and sighed in his heart, he is different from Buba, since the death of his wife ten years ago, he has been alone, and he has not formed a new family, so naturally there will be no Bubba troubles!
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, which naturally attracted the attention of the two, and a young sailor quickly approached the two, and said a little reservedly: "Boatswain, third mate, the captain is looking for you, and said that you should hurry up and meet him!"
Jiath and Bubba glanced at each other, not knowing what the captain was looking for them!
The two quickly went down to the middle floor of the Sea Eagle, and the captain's room was the innermost one, and came to the door with the three words "Captain's Room" on it, and Bubba patted the door with his heavy palm!
"Bouncing!"
"Come in!"
An old hoarse voice came from inside the room, and when Bubba and the others heard it, they pushed the door open without hesitation.
There were already five people sitting in the small room in front of them, and near the round window, at a desk sat an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, who was none other than Skady, the old captain of the Sea Hawk.
On the chair on the left side near the bedroom door sat two people, the first officer and the second officer of the Sea Eagle, the first mate was relatively fat, his stomach was far away, and there were three black moles the size of mung beans on his face, which were very recognizable.
And the second deputy is relatively thin, compared with Buba, who is the third officer, his height is two heads less, his two small eyes are like two slits on his face, and he usually has a smile on his face when he has nothing to do, which looks a little funny, but Bubba has always thought that this guy is not like a good person.
Opposite the first mate and the second mate, sitting is the chief of affairs of the Siren, Klers, who is not a big young man, who looks like Sven and usually treats people more easily, Bubba heard that this Klers still graduated from the Musen Ling Junior High School.
"Sit down!" said Captain Scardy's old voice.
When Bubba and Armor heard this, they sat down on two empty chairs next to the chief clerk, Klos.
Captain Skady swept his eyes with his eyes, and after the five people sitting below, he raised his voice and said: "I have brought you all here today because I have an important matter to tell you, and I think everyone is also confused about the course of the fleet! Let me emphasize here that there is nothing wrong with the course, it is because this time Lord Viscount has given our fleet a different mission!"
Skadi paused slightly, and then said again: "That is to explore a new island! Before setting out, Captain Fran told only the seven captains, including me, that we should not spread the word until the fleet left the port of Heran, in case the news was leaked out! But now that we have gone to sea, it is okay to tell you! But you know about it, so don't talk about it any further!"
Captain Scardy was not inclined to tell the five of them about this, but these five people were the core of the Sea Eagle besides him, and told them to save them from being suspicious behind their backs and affecting the daily navigation of the ship.
After hearing Skadi's words, the eyes of the people below were all full of surprise, the other three were indeed shocked by this news, and Bubba and Jiasi were surprised that they guessed correctly, it was really to explore the island!
"Captain, since the Viscount has asked us to explore the island, there must be a goal! Surely it is impossible for us to explore blindly!" said the first mate excitedly.
"That's right, I already know the name of this island from Captain Franco, it's called Snake Dance Island, it should be southeast of Heran Island, which is the course of our fleet today, but we don't need to go to the island to explore this time, we just need to find and determine the location of Snake Dance Island and then we can sail back!" Captain Scardy bowed slightly.
"Captain, if you find this snake dance island, is there any reward or something?" Bubba asked suddenly, with a little expectation.
The captain was stunned for a moment, and said with some amusement: "Yes, how could it not be! I heard that the Viscount promised that once the Snake Dance Island is discovered, each ship in our fleet will receive a reward of 1,000 gold dragons! And you, as the third mate, can naturally get a lot of it!"
"Really!" Bubba stood up with surprise on his face and some excitement.
"Uh!" Seeing that everyone else was looking at him, Bubba sat down again in embarrassment.
"All that needs to be said has been said, and if there is nothing to ask, then let's all go out to work!" said Captain Skady, who didn't care about Bubba's behavior.
After listening to the captain's words, several people left the room one after another.
At night, Kleus, who had nothing to do, went straight back to his bedroom, plugged in the door pin to make sure that it would not be opened from the outside, and felt relieved.
He walked to his desk, sat down slowly, stretched out his right hand, groped under the desk, saw his arm shake slightly, picked up a dark wooden box from under the desk, shook out a small key from his sleeve, opened the lock on the wooden box, and then took out a book inside.
With his left hand, he flipped the book to a page without words, and with his right hand, he took out the quill pen submerged in the inkwell, and began to write with a focused expression.
——
June 18, at sea, the Sea Hawk.
The captain gathered the five of us and informed us of the plans for the fleet.
Several people were pleasantly surprised, and the first mate took the lead in asking...... The third Bubba then asked a special question about the reward, which shows that he is very concerned about the reward, may be short of money, or has a special preference for money.
At the same time, the boatswain Armor and the third mate Bubba stayed alone on the deck for a while today, but because the two are old friends, it cannot be ruled out that they are catching up with the old days......
——
After writing down the events of the day, Klers closed the book, put it back in the wooden box and locked it, and hid the wooden box under the desk again.
