Chapter 30: Leaving overnight
The young man next to the bald head was none other than Ulthor whom they had seen on the airship.
Luthor ignored Elena's angry gaze and continued to nag next to the bald captain.
"Luther, I don't think you understand the situation. The bald head looked at the short sword in Randy's hand and said in a calm tone.
"What are you talking about," Luthor didn't finish speaking, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the crook of his leg, and his legs couldn't support him and he fell to his knees.
The bald head retracted his feet in leather boots, looked at Luthor kneeling on the ground in disgust, and said, "Didn't you hear what His Royal Highness said?
"Captain, you say yes," Luthor said as he gritted his teeth and turned back, stopping halfway through his sentence, and he saw the bald captain give him a look.
Luthor knelt on the ground and didn't dare to stand up, but he counted this revenge on Vane and the others, and lowered his head to think about how to take revenge later. That little girlfriend of Vane looks pretty good, if she can ...... Thinking about it, the corners of Luther's mouth hooked up a lewd smile.
"Your Royal Highness the Little Prince, this is all a mistake in our work, and we rushed to arrest without a clear investigation. The bald captain looked down at Randy slightly, a stiff smile on his fleshy face.
"Why don't you go and get that Mr. Magician out!" the bald captain yelled at the guards next to him. Immediately became smiling again: "Your Royal Highness the little prince, this is all an accident, I'm really sorry, people will release it immediately, and I hope you will say a few kind words in front of His Majesty the King." ”
"Huh, is that the end of it?" Randy didn't seem to buy it, and pointed his dagger at Luther, "What about him?
"Tell me what the hell is going on?" said the bald captain as he kicked Luthor, who was still kneeling next to him.
Luther's head seemed to suddenly become bright, and he said in a miserable voice: "Your Royal Highness, it's not me, I'm just an ordinary person. I saw that Mr. Magician was very similar to the murderer mentioned in the bounty order, so I informed the captain, but I also wanted to help catch the murderer......!
Luthor sobbed silently.
After all, Randy is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, how can he distinguish between good and evil in human nature, and he already believes most of them when he sees Luthor's miserable appearance, after all, he is to help catch the murderer, and he is also a good citizen. But even if things were like this, it always felt like a punch to cotton, and he hesitated to put down the sword in his hand.
At that moment, Vane, supported by two guards, stepped out of the gate. He clutched his staff, his clothes covered in blood.
"Vane!" Felder and the others rushed forward.
"Vane ......" Elena looked at Vane's bloody face and the corners of her mouth trembled, stepped forward and hugged him, feeling the weakness of his body, tears sliding down like broken threads.
"Thank you, Elena...... Thank you all ......" Vane said, leaning on Elena's shoulder, his eyes red and swollen and his voice hoarse, as he could imagine what kind of pain he had suffered in prison.
Felder and the others also hated Luthor when they saw it, but it was not easy to attack. The bald captain spread his hands, his eyes full of innocent gaze.
Under the treatment of Eth's natural magic, Vane looked much better, and the blood on his face had been wiped off by Elena, and his handsome face was restored, but his face was slightly pale.
Randy didn't want to see the bald captain's disgusting face anymore, but stubbornly kept his hand holding the sword up.
When the bald captain saw Randy's expression, he knew that he just needed a step, so he said with a serious expression: "Your Royal Highness the little prince, don't worry, there will be no similar things in the future, we will let him remember this person for a long time." As he spoke, he gestured to Luther.
Randy's anger subsided a bit, and he put the dagger back into its sheath and said, "Forget it this time, if there is a next time, I will definitely tell my father!"
"Definitely not, definitely not. The bald captain's face turned into a flower.
......
Ten minutes later, on the streets of the Central Bay.
"When are you going to the Duchy of Lucan?" Leslie asked as she walked. He walked briskly, fine beads of sweat flowing slowly across the surface of his muscles.
"The sooner the better, of course, this damn place can't stay!" Felder said as he kicked hard on the ground, and some gravel flew out with a scattered sound.
"You are in a dangerous situation right now. I've heard of the Black Cloaks, too, and since they appeared, the Gulf of Tonkin has become a miasma. Leslie sighed and continued, "The matter of the royal capital prison will soon reach their ears, and I think you should leave now. ”
"The airship and passenger ship are out of service, how to get there?"
"It is true that all passenger ship routes in the port of Casali have been suspended, but cargo ships have not. ”
"You mean......" Felder's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "But the cargo ship ...... How are we going to get up?"
"Haha, just give them gold coins and make you the captain. Leslie said disapprovingly.
Ten minutes later, the crowd came to the port of Casali again.
It's getting late, the port is getting a little deserted, the last fishermen selling fish and shrimp have left, and the scattered dock workers are still busy. Towering lighthouses stand on a stretch of land jutting out of the coast, and pillars of light from the top rotate slowly, pointing out the direction of Casali Harbor for ships in the dark.
As a famous port on the mainland of La Fre, the port of Casali has more than ten piers and dozens of berths. At this time, there were several large and small ships scattered in the harbor, and although the sea breeze was strong, the sea was relatively calm, and the shaking of the hull was not noticeable.
"It doesn't seem like there's a lot of choice. The seas have not been calm lately, and the big ships are clearly much safer. Leslie said with a shrug. With that, he walked straight to what appeared to be the largest ship.
Soon the crowd came to the dock where the boulder was built. By the faint light of the moon, it was possible to see that docked at the quay was a wooden three-masted galleon, more than fifty meters long. The hull was mostly hidden in shadows, three bare masts standing on the ship, the deck was dark and invisible, except for the dim light from a few portholes below.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Suddenly a heavy voice came from the side, followed by heavy footsteps.
The person who came was a fat man. Holding a wine jug in his hand, he swayed in front of everyone, his bare head resting on his body, and his round belly made him look like a ball, but the perennial sun exposure made this "ball" look a little black.
"Are you a crew member of this ship?" asked Leslie, gesturing to the cargo ship next to him. His tone wasn't quite sure, because the guy was just too fat to look like a sailor.
"I'm the first mate, what's the matter with you?" the fat man scanned the crowd with his thin eyes.
Leslie was a little crying and laughing, this guy was not only a crew member, but also a first mate. Is this ship in danger, can his size handle it? Although he thought so, he still asked, "Is this ship going to the Duchy of Lucan?"
"Nonsense, it's all boats going to the Duchy of Lukan. The fat man said rudely, the fat on his face shaking with his voice.
"If you want to go to the Duchy of Lukan, then you have found the right person, and I welcome you on behalf of the captain!" said the fat man, his eyes narrowing even smaller, and his inscrutable gaze fell on Elena and Ise from time to time. "The Kerry will leave early tomorrow morning. He gestured to the freighter in the shadows behind him.
Leslie turned his head to look at the crowd, asking for their opinions with her eyes. Vane and the others were land animals who had never been on a boat before, and they couldn't pay attention to each other.
"Then take this ship. Felder said with a shrug.
"Vision!" said the fat man, who was about to step forward to help Elena with the package, and the flesh on his face rose and fell like waves, causing Elena to jump back a few steps in fright. The fat man had no choice but to give up.
"Goodbye, brothers and sisters!" Randy shouted waving his hand.
"Goodbye Randy, goodbye Uncle Leslie!" Elena shouted as she waved her hand back, her eyes moistening a little. Until two figures drowned in the night.
"I hope you have a safe journey. Leslie, who was next to him, stroked back his gray hair, looked at the people in the distance and said silently.
