Act XIX. Facing the sea
In the morning, Bai Ge got up at seven o'clock, studied briefly for a while, and then went downstairs for breakfast.
Zhu Xia's ** rebirth had already come to the restaurant, and Bai Ge only felt that Song Yufei's eyes had become very strange when he looked at him.
ā......ā
Bai Ge pretended not to care, and after eating bread, paste-like meat puree, and yogurt in the style of Neo-Constan, he checked out, accepted Ruan Thanh Thu's invitation, and took the train to the train station with the students.
It takes about six hours to take a train from New Constance to Alexandria, and then transfer to a passenger ferry to the train station, Bai Ge did not rush to check in first, but came to a store with a melancholy panda sign in the train station.
This is the express point of Panda Logistics, although Bai Ge heard that this logistics throughout the world was actually created by his mother Bai Lu, but he didn't feel it at all.
For Panda Logistics, Bai Ge's impression is that it seems that no matter where it is, as long as it exists in this world, it can be sent to you, and in most cases, it will be delivered the next day, and even makes Bai Ge feel that this logistics may be a delivery completed by a high-level upgrader with extraordinary abilities in order to complete his name raiding ceremony.
After filling in the signing address, Bai Ge put the letter and the handicrafts he bought into a corrugated box and handed them to the courier brother in a black and white uniform.
"Thank you for using Panda Express, we will deliver the items as quickly as possible."
The blonde brother accepted Bai Ge's box with a business smile, and Bai Ge noticed that this little brother's legs were too slender, obviously metal prosthetics, such people can be seen everywhere in the Panxi Sea, some are disabled due to accidents, and some are specially carried out physical transformation.
When Bai Ge turned around and was about to go back, he found that Ruan Qingqiu was looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Old ...... Would Mr. Yasin still be so gentle? ā
She was referring to Bai Ge's actions when he took out the letter before.
"Take care of your students."
Bai Ge said coldly, which made Ruan Qingqiu shiver subconsciously.
After checking the tickets, a group of people came to the waiting hall, waited for a while, and the train arrived at the station, because this was the departure station, so the carriage was quite empty, a group of students sat down, chattering, Bai Ge sat in the last row of the carriage, holding a newly bought newspaper in his hand, and did not participate in their discussion.
The train started quickly, and Bai Ge spread out the newspaper and glanced at the news on it.

ā...... The popular demonstrations that broke out yesterday in Hagia Sophia City continue, and according to this newspaper, the main reason for the march was that in response to poor working conditions and low wages, a quarter of Hagia Sophia's factories and facilities have been shut down, and the whole city has been plunged into chaos......
There are all kinds of news in the newspaper, including political and economic news, celebrity gossip, civic events, and even cat hunting notices.
Bai Ge briefly browsed it, and could probably see that the social structure of Panxihai was relatively loose, there were many criminal incidents, and the development of various places was quite uneven.
There are cities that host extravagant events, cities that don't have enough to eat, rich people who are caught up in disputes over family property and power, and commoners who march for tens of pounds an hour, and high technology pervades every aspect of people's lives, but poverty is still the main theme in many people's lives.
Moreover, there is a very special place in Panxi Sea, that is, the folk customs of each city are very different.
This is not just the difference between sweet tofu brain and salty tofu brain, sweet zongzi or salty zongzi, bathhouse or bathroom, but more thorough, essentially different.
In the city of New Constein, the city buildings are more distinctive, with oriental domes, decorated with precious stones, enamel, metal carvings, the walls are decorated with pastels, inverted square cone columns support the dome, gold, red, blue are full of it, people like to wear loose shawls, oblique cloaks, robes, etc., there is a retro beauty.
The Greenwich architecture that Bai Ge saw in the newspapers was dominated by towering spires, vaulted windows, balconies with portico columns, folded roofs, cornices, and elaborate decorations, with features such as gears, steam, pistons, metalwork, and leather, and the clothes were also dominated by double-breasted dresses, lace ruffle skirts, leg of mutton sleeves, etc., walking sticks, pocket watches, monocles, and half-height silk courtesy were almost the standard for gentlemen.
For example, the buildings in New Rome are dominated by arches, domes, and pillars, and attract people's attention with their gorgeous shapes, and they especially like large communal baths, and people's clothes are mostly silk robes.
This is like a mixture of different eras, Bai Ge roughly checked, and found that the architecture, clothing, and art style of these cities mostly inherited the most prosperous era of their respective regions in the old era, maybe they tried to recall the glory of the past and reproduce the glory of the past.
Putting down the newspaper, Bai Ge looked ahead, Ruan Qingqiu was playing a game of ghost cards with the students, at first glance, she looked like a real college student and not a teacher, maybe it was her grinning personality that made people complain that she could blend in with the students.
In the afternoon, the speed of the train gradually slows down.
After passing through a forest that was still lush in winter, an open scene appeared outside the window.
"Wow!"
At this moment, they were already a little tired from the morning's fun, and the drowsy students suddenly screamed.
Bai Ge also followed the prestige and saw the blue thing.
It's the sea.
It is not the crimson ocean that has been polluted by the abyss, the shallow sea that occupies more than seventy percent of the planet, but the real blue, the sea described in movies and literary works of the old era.
At this moment, the train is traveling on a cliff near the sea.
Whoop -
The sound of the waves was accompanied by the swaying waves crashing on the brown rocks on the shore, and Bai Ge seemed to be able to smell the sea breeze with the salty smell and feel the coldness of the clear water.
It was the first time he had seen the sea with his own eyes.
The students were stunned for a moment, many of them were seeing for the first time the thing that had given birth to the first life, and as far as the eye could see, the boundless deep blue reached to the horizon, merging with the same blue sky at the end of the horizon, and the afternoon sun sprinkled a golden yellow like fish scales on the sparkling sea, like a most beautiful dream.
"This is the New Mediterranean, one of the largest unpolluted oceans on the planet, created over hundreds of years by the Pan-Western Sea Business Community."
Ruan Qingqiu's soft voice came.
"In the old days, this was the birthplace of many civilizations, the place of countless myths, and the names of these civilizations shine brightly in the history of the old times, and our destination, the school city of Alexandria, is located on the other side of the ocean."
Woo ā
A long whistle sounded, Bai Ge looked ahead, a white port stood by the sea, tall stone buildings were staggered, countless ships with white sails shuttled, giant freighters and steel passenger ships were slowly leaving their posts, and in the distance, clouds gathered, as if intertwined into a storm, ready to go.
This is a real port!
Bai Ge suppressed the excitement in his heart, at this moment, he was really as excited as a seventeen-year-old boy for this scene, but based on Yassen Hercule's character, Bai Ge did not show any sighs.
"!"
"That's too big, isn't it, we're going to sit here today?"
"What a big sea......"
"How the hell is this done?"
"IāI've never been on a boat, I heard it seems to be quite uncomfortable?"
The students on the side were already excited to get to the window on one side, eager to put their faces against the glass.
"It's also the first time I've seen the sea......"
Ruan Qingqiu didn't know when he came to Bai Ge's side, looked at the blue sea with some emotion, and turned to smile at Bai Ge.
"Mr. Yasen, do you have time for the evening?"
āļ¼ā
Bai Ge was silent for a moment, not knowing what Ruan Qingqiu wanted to do.
"No, don't get me wrong, I just, I just want to start learning as soon as possible!"
Ruan Qingqiu said as if emphasized, and squeezed his small fist in front of him.
Is this a worry about running away?
Bai Ge was silent, thought about it, and spoke.
"Come to my cabin at nine o'clock tonight."
He, Nguyen Thanh Thu and others had already bought tickets at the train station for 3 p.m., and unlike the train, the passenger ship would also travel at sea at night and arrive in Alexandria the next morning.
ā...... Good, good! ā
Ruan Qingqiu seemed to think of something, her cheeks were crimson, and she nodded vigorously.
"Mr. Yasen, well, I'm still the first time, so please be gentle...... No, I, I'll be patient. ā
āļ¼ā
This young lady, where the hell do you think?
Bai Ge twitched the corners of his mouth.
