After that day, time seemed to pass extraordinarily fast.

"Mr. Ed, your boots."

Fang Yu watched Pasha polish his boots with a pair of thin and swarthy little hands, and then handed them over respectfully. He raised his head, looked at the other party's black and white, with a hint of expectation, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "It's beautiful, but there's no need to do it." I said, Pasha, if you want to stay, stay, but we don't like that. ”

"But Miss Sylveld tells me that you are the head of the regiment. It's the captain of this 'ship' again, and the captain should be imposing, you must have a servant or a servant or something, right? Don't worry, Mr. Ed, I'm not reluctant at all, everyone is very good to me here, no one has treated me so well except my mother, and I'm already very satisfied. ”

"It's not a matter of being satisfied or dissatisfied," Fang Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead, Sylvide is good at everything, but his thoughts always carry some views inherent in this world. She also often told him to be more dignified in front of everyone, especially after having sailors. It's just that the aristocratic daughter is very stubborn in this regard-

"There are some things that you don't want to listen to Miss Sylvede, she has some problems with her thoughts......"

"But everyone says she's the housewife."

"Lord, Lord what?" Fang Yuan's face flushed and he stammered.

"It's the Mistress, the Master," replied Pasha in a weak voice, "your wife." ”

"How, how, everybody knows ......?"

Pasha shook her head, "No, it was Miss Alyssa who told me. ”

Fang Yu slapped his forehead.

What Alyssa said, doesn't that mean everyone knows? Is there anyone in this group who likes to spy on gossip and share it with others than Alyssa? This may be the nature of the nightingale's profession, because it naturally includes Parker's natural big mouth.

Of course, the lethality of that Paparal is much less than this one.

He had deceived enough for this smiling young lady earlier, and he had always thought that the other party was sincere and willing to listen-

But when he thought about his experience in Fenris, Fang Yu felt that he was the number one fool in Tianzi, and he was almost played by the two sisters at that time. He only hated himself for not discovering this earlier.

By the time I found out, it was too late to regret it-

"That's two different things," Fang Yu said for a while, "First of all, I haven't married Miss Sylvede. Secondly, I am not your master either...... God, what's going on in your head? ”

"Isn't it normal for Pasha to think that way, is it not normal for him to think so?"

A voice came from behind him.

Fang Yu looked back, only to find that it was the little princess with a small braid, the daughter of the contemporary king of the sand of the Istanians. Seeing the latter, he couldn't help but sigh - there was another problem child, and he would rather deal with Pasha than this little princess.

This princess of sand perfectly interprets what it means to be-for-tat - she and Sky Blue are simply two small powder kegs, which belong to the kind that can be lit at one point. Fang Yu glanced at the other party before sighing: "Didn't you chase your fancy lover?" ”

"Luo Yu, he ignored me," Afifa angrily flicked his pigtails: "Hmph, no, isn't it the one that is bigger, the skin is whiter, it's really annoying." Relying on himself to know Mr. Luo Yu before me, and calling Mr. Luo Yu, Mr. Luo Yu will get tired of this jealous woman one day. ”

Here it is, here it is again.

Fang Yu looked deeply and speechlessly at the undulating sea of sand beyond the platform.

Since Her Royal Highness the little princess temporarily boarded the boat, Mr. Gray Rock has not stopped on this platform for a day, and the jealousy between the other party and Sky Blue can simply fill the entire sea of silver sand and sand. In fact, the big cat man once joked that he could smell the sour smell of two little girls fighting for jealousy in Tansniel, and he didn't say it, but thought it was true in his heart.

Tansnir is the port city of Istania and is not too far from here.

Moreover, this princess Afifa inherited the boldness of the desert woman, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and straightforward, in Fang Yuan's opinion, if Luo Yu hadn't put all his thoughts on Tian Lan, Tian Lan would not be the opponent of Her Royal Highness the sharp-toothed princess anyway.

Fortunately, it seems that with Luo Yu's current state, it may still be quite a long way for the other party to win from this long game.

And as the captain of the ship, of course he would not let such a thing happen.

Anyway, Sky Blue is also his team, and of course he won't elbow outward. Fang Yu had made up his mind early in the morning, and when he arrived at Tansnir, he asked Her Royal Highness the princess, who couldn't stop, to get off the boat quickly, anyway, the other party was staying on the boat and it looked like he was about to reach the limit.

Save the whole day complaining to him that the accommodation conditions on the ship are not good, the food is not good, and the princess is sick.

However, Afifa was not aware of his unpopularity. She was stepping forward, leaning on the side of the boat and looking out at the undulating desert landscape - Mr. Greystone certainly didn't go deep into the Silver Sands Desert, and not a few wouldn't be a short-thinking traveler now.

The Seven Seas Brigade actually traveled eastward near the Dwarf Mountains, diagonally past the edge of the desert in a direction where the Hanrui Waters coast could be seen. This is in fact an ancient trade route, which was the one that Bunigu and his family took in the first place.

But even then, the path is not easy to follow, in fact. Since the birth of the floating ship, there has not been an easy way to pass through Istania.

It is also the isolated desert that has created a different climate from the northern continent in Istania.

Fang Yu remembered what Afifa had said before, looked at the other party and asked, "You said that Pasha is a slave, what is the matter?" Cowlin-Ishurian still has slaves? ”

He couldn't help frowning, the Stargate Declaration was not only an agreement for the Electors, but also an understanding and compromise between the two worlds and countries on both sides of the Stargate. In fact, in the era before the Declaration of the Starsgate, there were indeed sporadic instances of serfdom in Kaulin-Ishurian, but after that it was largely banned.

Of course, this is only the case in Kaulin, and in Rotao and in Assyria, it is the same situation. After all, most of the signatories of the Stargate Declaration are bilateral agreements with the countries corresponding to the same region. At the same time, such an agreement would not have been possible had it not been for the will of Kaulin-Ishurian itself.

This is a strange world in itself, where on the one hand there is a highly developed alchemical civilization, but on the other hand, it has not completely stepped out of the backward system in all aspects. However, in the past half century, the countries of Aitaria have changed dramatically, and they cannot be compared with a hundred years ago.

Like the question he's asking now.

If slavery still existed in Kaulin-Ishurian, including Istania, it was almost certainly someone who had trampled on the Stargate Declaration.

But Afifa didn't care too much about this problem, and replied casually: "I understand what you mean, the slavery system you mentioned has naturally disappeared a long time ago, after all, my father will not disobey the will of the alliance on the surface." ”

"What do you mean?" Fang Yu frowned and asked, "Your father still connived at the existence of this system in private?" ”

"You're a terrible man," said Afifa, turning his head and flicking his pigtails, his amber eyes glaring at him viciously, "What is the identity of my father, of course he would not do such a thing." But Pasha was the lowest in Istania, and this fact cannot be changed by my father alone. ”

She glanced at Pasha contemptuously and waved her hand.

Pasha lowered her head and stepped aside a little timidly. All these days, he had known the identity of the maiden, the daughter of Barbartan, the king of sand, who seemed to him almost a heavenly figure. The captain of the regiment actually has such a character on the ship, so that he is honored-

Fang Yuan's brows tightened, and he grabbed the other party's hand with a little fire in his heart, and asked, "Who do you say is inferior?" ”

"What are you doing?" Afifa was startled, and struggled hard to break free from his hand, and her two servants glanced at him from a distance, but probably because of Captain Fang's identity, they hesitated and did not come. And after the little princess with braided hair withdrew her hand, her brows were almost wrinkled:

"What are you doing, I didn't say anything about you."

"You can't say anyone, that's basic politeness." Fang Yu replied solemnly.

"But I'm not wrong, I don't believe you asked him yourself."

Fang Yu took a breath, and probably felt that it was not worth it to be angry with a little girl if he was fine. He replied, "You can do it anywhere else, but not on my ship." ”

"Here, my word is the decree."

Afifa pursed his mouth, and was so speechless by his words that tears rolled in his eyes.

Of course, she understood this, at least on this 'ship', if the other party ordered her to disembark, whether she was the daughter of the Sand King or the illegitimate daughter of some god, she would have to get off the ship obediently. Although as a citizen of the desert, she was not unable to get out of the desert, but the humiliation was even more uncomfortable than killing her.

Her chest fell together, and finally she said angrily: "You, what are you angry with me, I don't have slaves, you have the ability to deal with those smugglers and cultists!" I, my father, and I have been fighting these people as well. ”

"You don't understand anything, do you think that everyone is equal there, as Mr. Donde said. The superficial hierarchy is gone, but the hierarchy in people's hearts is more stringent, what is the difference between the tricks of your grand guild and us? ”

Fang Yu looked into the eyes of the little girl and replied word by word, "I have been dealing with them. ”

Afifa opened his mouth.

She paused for a moment, and then remembered that it seemed to be the case.

But she was still unwilling, and only clenched her fist before she walked out of the cabin angrily.

"It's unbelievable." Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the little princess leave.

As between him and Sylvid, he felt that it was difficult for him to explain these things to the other party—of course, compared to the rude princess, the noble daughter was simply an understanding angel. Sylvide had some more or less ingrained perceptions, but at least she was willing to accept some changes.

And Fang Yu understood that his ship's officer had always understood his wishes.

He doesn't really care about rank, but about respect. On his ship, at least, Pasha was just an ordinary member of the group. In the same way, Sylvid would never put up a fight with anyone on board, nor would she use the methods she had done against the sailors when she was on Princess Brian's ship.

Because his team members should never suffer from anyone's humiliation for no reason.

Fang Yu turned his head at this time, looked at Pasha, who was standing on the side and didn't dare to take a mouthful, and said, "Pasha, are you okay?" ”

Pasha shook his head slightly: "Actually, Her Royal Highness the princess is not wrong......

When Fang Yu heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark.

"It's not a question of right or wrong," he let out a long sigh, "Pasha, I don't care what you've been through before, what kind of person you are. But on my ship, you are the same person as us, without any difference, and will not be a head lower than anyone else. ”

He couldn't help but look at his boots: "Don't do such a thing in the future." ”

Pasha looked at him and asked, "Is this also a 'decree'?" ”

Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

He replied, a little exhausted, "You should take it as a decree." ”

"But, I won't do anything else, I can't eat rice, can I?" Pasha was a little worried and said, "If you can't do this, does Mr. Ed mean to drive me off the boat?" ”

"Wait, how do you hear that?"

"But—"

"No, Pasha, do you want to be a bootmaker? We don't need bootmakers on board," replied Fang Yu angrily, "if you have nothing to do, go and learn from others." Big cat people, Luo Yu and they are willing to teach you, if you are interested in alchemy, you can also come to me. ”

"Can I learn alchemy, too?" Pasha's eyes lit up: "Mr. Eddard? ”

"Of course, why not," Fang Yu replied solemnly, "Alchemists do not distinguish between men and women, whether they are high or low, or where you come from, before the ether, whether you are a king or a beggar, everyone is equal. ”

"Remember this passage," he replied, "anyone who learns alchemy will first understand it." It has been handed down since the time of the Noume Elves, and do you know why there are no slaves in Kaurin-Ishurian today, because the alchemists don't believe in it. ”

Pasha listened silently and nodded vigorously.

He suddenly looked back at the bottom of the patio, then turned back and whispered, "I'm going to help Miss Attila, Mr. Eddard." ”

"Go ahead."

Fang Yu looked at the thin back of the other party, and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart for a while.

He left the other behind, partly because Pasha had nowhere else to go, and when Bunigu and the young scholar left, he took the girl with the broken arm and promised to take good care of the other. The two were grateful at the time, and actually offered to take Pasha away and take care of them.

Although Bunigu is not yet very rich, as a businessman, he at least has some continuation, and it is more than enough to take on the custody of a little boy. And I believe that after this incident, the other party should not dare to play any tricks on them.

It's just that Pasha himself doesn't want to live or die, and he must stay on the ship. It was probably because he saw himself from the other party, Fang Yu finally moved his heart of compassion and left the little boy behind.

And he understands that he is actually much luckier than Pasha. Because he at least had his uncle's family, and Pasha had nothing.

He didn't know how much Pasha had listened to his words—

But as he said, he doesn't need an unprovoked subordinate on the ship, he needs teammates, everyone who can take responsibility for each other and deliver their backs. Fortunately, the other party seemed to have some interest in alchemy, and Fang Yu could only hope that knowledge could indeed change a person.

But he saw that Pasha was halfway through, and then hesitantly turned back, and whispered to him a little uneasily: "Captain, when you said that to Princess Afifa before, you were really magnificent. ”

Fang Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"The mistress said that if you are accustomed to calling people, you will naturally be more imposing towards others. I、I think the master seems to have a point, captain? Captain? ”

"Get out!"

Fang Yu slapped this guy on the head angrily.

It was only at that moment that he suddenly had some of Miss Scapet's experience.

……

For lunch, Miss Elf made a little bit of food that was still palatable for everyone from a pile of dry food. But as you can imagine, it has been almost a week and a half since entering the desert, and with the previous experience in Idus, the fresh food on the platform has long been depleted.

At the moment, they actually have a problem with clean drinking water, and the only thing they can see is fresh enough to survive on the only remaining bucket of shriveled lemons in the bilge. However, according to Tianlan, there are still two days at most, and they will have to cut off the water.

But fortunately, the nearest oasis is not far away.

And a certain princess Needless to say, she had a bitter face, but she still maintained the only little upbringing in front of Luo Yu, and she was embarrassed to spit out the dry cake fragments one by one in front of her. Sky Blue squinted at each other, as if deliberately angry, gulping something into his cheeks.

He also made a big mouthful, as if he was eating some delicious food.

It's just that things must be reversed, this little girl finally choked herself, her face turned from red to white, and then white to blue, looking like she was going to be angry. Attila watched from the sidelines, then couldn't help but shake her head and gently patted her back. It was only then that Sky Blue let out a whoow and spit out the contents of his throat on the deck.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Fang Yu always feels that Miss Attila has been a lot gentler recently. If Tianlan wasted food like this before, he would have to be disciplined.

On the side, Luo Hao watched this scene with a bitter face.

"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked the fat man a little curiously.

"I'm on duty in the afternoon."

Luo Hao was about to cry: "It's my turn to wipe the deck." ”

Alyssa smiled and bent over.

And in the afternoon, the nightingale couldn't laugh a little.

Because Fang Yu suddenly received a message, the news naturally came from Xingmen Harbor, to be exact, from a certain silver princess of Veslan. Needless to say, it was naturally Sophie - I don't know where Su Changfeng came up with this method, so he had the whim to let his daughter act as his liaison with the military.

In the name of beauty, try not to arouse the suspicion of outsiders. Because he was already acquainted with Sophie, this is news that has been circulating in Van Rik for a long time.

However, the other party's careful thinking naturally can't escape Sophie's eyes.

She'd love to have a free shield.

However, Fang Yu understood that this contact should not be a private matter of Her Royal Highness the princess, because at the same time as the email, it also attached a letter from the official of Xingmen Port. He knew what was going on, and he had reported everything that had happened in Idus a week earlier.

This should be after the Xingmen Port side verified the situation, they came to him to learn about the follow-up situation.

Therefore, this meeting was actually a meeting between the military and him. So naturally he had to bring Luo Hao, the military's so-called 'liaison' in their team.

And as soon as Luo Hao left, the person on duty went back to the next round-

So it was our turn to be our lovely Miss Nightingale.
