Chapter 66: Contradictions and Ambitions
"Strange, why didn't it chase after me?" the second officer asked suspiciously, simply bandaging the wound on his arm.
Through the hatch in the cabin, you can see that the evil son of the sea in the far distance is only a shadow, staying in place and waving his thick tentacles.
"Do you want it to chase after you?" Cassia helped Qiding and quietly appeared behind the second officer.
"It's a nightmare on the sea, the grave of all the ships, the dragon that lives in the sea, the god of the sea blesses, we really rushed out?"
"Actually, I'm more curious...... The Tiger Shark has a vendetta against them, and I kind of doubt that my fifty gold coins are worth it. Cassia pulled up a chair and sat down.
The second mate was stunned for a moment, then took two glasses of ale from the barrel by the wall and sat down next to Cassia.
"It's not us, it's everyone who has a grudge against them. ”
Cassia took a sip of the ale and motioned for him to continue.
Maybe they felt that it was a bit dereliction of duty for them to have such a thing happening, and the second mate didn't hide anything:
"At sea and inland, there is never peace, there can be more troops and withdraw troops on the border, but here, when you get on a boat, you have already participated in the battle. ”
"I thought the children of the sea were very cheerful. ”
The second mate smiled: "That was before, since ...... I don't know when, or who made the first move, but since the Empire began to secretly hire sailor ships and pretend to be pirates to make trouble for each other, the two sides have formed a mortal feud. ”
"It's better now, the empire basically won't do this kind of thing again, but this hatred ...... It's not like you don't have it. ”
"Isn't this the Imperial Navy doing this for you?" Cassia chuckled meaninglessly.
The second mate shook his head and swallowed a sip of ale: "As long as anyone with a little brain can see that this is just those noble lords who want to play on a whim, how many gold coins do they need to raise the navy, and how much do they need to hire us outlaws?"
"Doesn't that sound like the words of a bold sailor, Captain Pete was also hired?"
"Or what do you think the captain did when ......he was young? Very short of money. The second mate continued to drink the ale in his cup, deliberately avoiding Cassia's temptation about his previous experience.
Cassia was silent, it was still a long time, and he was not in a hurry.
Then the cabin fell silent, and the second mate, after drinking the ale, said a few casual remarks, and left to inspect the ship, while Cassia also stood up and walked towards Brandy's cabin.
Knock knock knock......
"Advance ......"
"Do you have to look like this? If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to be hurt?" Cassia sat down on the edge of the bed with two glasses of ale.
And Brandi was lying on the bed like a bone, lying on his stomach softly, with a loveless face, sighing.
The long sword was placed at the head of the bed, but he wrapped it in strips of cloth, not even the hilt.
"Ale, good for your injuries. ”
Brandi sat up with a pouting and took the glass, "I'm not hurt. ”
"I mean...... Wounds in the heart. Cassia smiled weirdly and didn't go any further.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't like men......"
"Huh...... By the way, you said you were going to the Stormy Sea, but what's next?"
"What's next?" Brandi was stunned, "I'm going back, do I want to go to the South Continent like you?" ”
Cassia raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself: "Even if I can't help you, you will come back when you reach the edge of the stormy sea, but Captain Pete will definitely send me to Nanlu first, and then I will return, that is, you can choose not to get off the ship, but Nanlu you are decided." ”
“......”
Cassia got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's steal it, ten gold coins have traveled around and walked around the stormy sea twice, this business, Captain Pete has lost money." ”
“......”
....................................
On the deck, the sailors were busy running, trying to repair the damaged parts of the ship, but fortunately there were no guns in this era, otherwise the battle would have been won or lost, and they would have to return immediately.
After all, it is a wooden ship, and unless Cassia repairs it, it is impossible to safely pass through the stormy sea no matter where it is hit by two cannons.
In fact, this is also a last resort, if you look at it from a very long distance, the storm sea area is actually in the shape of a long strip, like a barrier, between the north and south of the land.
Even on the only land bridge in the middle, it was gloomy all day, and it was unsure when it would rain.
And if you choose to bypass the Storm Sea, that is what the average novice captain will do, because the detour is not only long, but also the Warcraft in the far sea is not less than that in the Storm Sea, and the most important thing is that the Warcraft in the Storm Sea have territory, and they will not change in a short time.
But outside, almost every few months, there will be a major territorial change, except for those demonic beasts that will die when they see it.
Therefore, senior captains who are really familiar with the route will choose to cross the stormy sea, but just endure some dullness and darkness, you can avoid a lot of unforeseen dangers.
Of course, there are very few that can keep every crew member unharmed, and it all depends on the favor of the sea god.
In this way, another ten days passed, and the Tiger Shark did not encounter any other 'pirates' along the way, of course, this does not mean that there are fewer outlaws at sea, except for the ships between the two empires will plunder each other, those professional pirates also have their own scale.
On this day, Cassia finished the inspection of the mage system as usual and came to the deck to blow the wind.
For this system, he has high hopes and is cautious, because it is directly related to his own strength, and because there are many facets and a wide range of magic rituals, he does not allow a little mistake in the middle.
"Is there really nothing that can be done?" said Brandi, dejected.
Cassia shook his head: "Nanlu, you are decided, do you want to go over and play?"
For Brandi, Cassia is a little appreciative, when he was in Sears, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was really concerned about Honoris, I thought he was just a talent suitable for being a king, but I didn't expect to be able to act so well.
"Play? Is Nanriku a place to play?"
"Don't think of orcs as vicious, maybe you can make a world out there, even if you are a human, you can be respected by them. Cassia's expression was relaxed, but his eyes were inexplicably meaningful.
For a moment, Brandi was stunned, and although he hid it well, he still didn't escape Cassia's eyes.
"......" Brandi retorted silently, and turned away from the deck.
Looking at his back, Cassia scratched his fingers on the railing indiscriminately, and at the same time thought to himself: "Tempted? In the early stage of the development of the magic and magician system, coupled with the fact that the contact between orcs and humans is not deep, the historical development is destined to be an era of many characters. ”
"In addition, the contradiction between the nobles and the poor, I don't know if it will completely explode at this stage, and Ferrante's eldest brother is also a character. ”
The next morning, Cassia, who was drinking tea in the cabin, was pulled onto the deck by Brandy.
At this time, many sailors also gathered together and looked into the distance.
Where the sea and the sky meet in front of us, thick dark clouds hang quietly like a night, the sun is shining outside, but it is impossible to see the scene inside.
Beneath the clouds, everything was dark.
"I ...... My ten gold coins...... That's it, no need to go any further. ”
Cassia shook Qiding: "Give up, I'd rather give Captain Pete a few more gold coins than waste time." ”
"Ira, you're murder!"
"Just think you paid me back, you earned it, Brandy. ”
Cassia smiled and left the deck, not looking at the night for it was morning, and it was about late evening before the Tiger Shark actually entered the area.
And Cassia is also very curious, although these places are all set up by him, but they are just a framework, and he also wants to see what it is like now.
Wouldn't such a magnificent scene be meaningless if viewed from God's perspective?
....................................
The capital of the Kaiadil Empire, Tria
The sun had set in the west, and Ferrante, who was a year older, sat in the corner of the training ground, alone in a silent daze.
He had just finished training, and the sweat soaked through the armor lining, but the heavy drag did not discourage him.
On the one hand, because their own strength is also growing, and on the other hand, because of ...... More frustration awaited him.
"Ferrante, Ferrante, why are you here, let's go, go to dinner. Sophia took her robe and ran over in small steps.
"What's wrong with you, Ferrante, didn't you train up to par today?" Sophia asked suspiciously, looking at him.
"No, how could I not be up to par?" Ferrante shook his head, "it's my eldest brother, he had another quarrel with his father last night, about the nobles and the pauper. ”
"Sophia, I don't know how to continue to talk to my father about you......"
Sophia was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ferrante, we are not officials, but believers in the gods, no matter what it is, we can't let the light in our hearts retreat, we just need to complete God's task and spread His glory to the world, the nobles and the poor are His people." ”
"I understand, Sophia......"
"Okay, here's for you. Sophia suddenly took out a cloth bag from her robe, threw it to Ferrante, then turned and ran out, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Ferrante looked at the cloth bag in his hand in a daze, it was the smell of red rosemary.
"Wait for me, Sophia!"
