On a dark and rainy night, only the warm light of the fire flickered in the many tents in the camp.

The sailors on night watched the lights of the camp from afar, huddled in the muddy rain with their guns, and occasionally warmed themselves up with a sip of wine, or whispered a complaint. But they were already in a much better situation than those left on board, where they had to endure not only the harsh conditions on board, but also the storms that could come at any time.

There is a joke in Kaurin-Ishurian that when people are boys, they dream of going to the boat, but when they become men, they dream of getting off the boat.

This is the gap between reality and dreams, even on Earth, ordinary seafarers have to endure the seclusion of seafaring, and in this era, the living conditions of ordinary sailors on ships are often even worse - no private space, no privacy, heavy physical work, extreme unsanitary conditions, disease and rebellion, and long life at sea - so down-to-earth, even in the cold rain, is a good thing for many sailors to achieve.

After all, the ship is moored in the anchorage, and not everyone can disembark.

There was a cheerful laugh from the officers' tents, and the old captain laughed especially loudly.

In the center of the tent was a bright bonfire, reflecting the old man's gray and wrinkled face, and he laughed and looked at Fang Yuan with a playful gaze: "You are too kind to them, little fellow, you must know what kind of people those sailors are, most of them are idlers, maybe there are also guys with a criminal record—pirates, villains, or who knows?" How many ordinary people will go on board to be sailors? You'll have to teach them a lesson, I have a captain I know, and he's a good old man, but do you know what happened to him in the end? ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

The old man's gray eyes showed a look of pain: "On the Mayachi Sea, his sailors launched a rebellion and imprisoned him, and those who fled back informed the others about it. Oh, my old friend, he's such a good old man, he's not fit for this kind of life. ”

Fang Yu frowned slightly: "Later, was he saved?" Did those people get the punishment they deserved? ”

The old captain shook his head, "Those men took him and his ship with them to join the Pale Pirates, and I haven't heard from him since. But look, as long as I haven't been in the coffin, one day I'll find these guys, get my old friends out, wring out the intestines of these guys and wrap them around their necks, hang them on masts, and let the souls of these scoundrels go to hell. ”

"But people can't be compared, at least captain, your sailors are very good, and those bad guys naturally deserve to be punished, but little fingers are different." Fang Yu also shook his head and said.

Yes, he eventually pardoned Littlefinger - or he didn't actually intend to do that in the first place, because he didn't feel that the other person had done anything wrong.

There is an iron rule on the ship that you must not disobey your superiors, but then again, he is not the superior of these people, at best he is a guest of the princess.

Perhaps Sylvid was, but not him; Maybe he'll be a captain in the future, but not now.

On the other side of the campfire, the lion took a puff of his pipe and squinted at Fang Plover and Sylvid sitting next to him.

The aristocratic girl smiled lightly, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a bright light.

The old captain laughed, "This is a little man of talk, but you are right, my sailors are the best lads. But you'll have to discipline them for them to become good people, and that's not how they were at first, you say, Miss Sylwell? ”

Sylvide replied with a pun, "Of course, the captain has the final say." ”

The old man laughed even more: "This is really a wonderful person," he glanced at Fang Yu with a teasing look in his old eyes, "You are really blessed, boy." ”

No matter how sluggish Fang Yu was, he didn't understand the meaning of these words, and glanced at Sylvid with a red face.

The aristocratic lady only smiled in response.

Not far from the tent, Princess Brian, who was adjusting the bowstring, looked at the two little people and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Speaking of pirates," Fang Yu suddenly asked, "Mr. Captain, can you introduce the pirates of Aitalia?" ”

This question is actually a question he has always been concerned about, but he has not been able to find the right person to speak. Of course, Fang Yu had heard of the Pale Pirates of the First Pirate Group of Aitalia, but other than that, his knowledge of the forces above the air and sea in this world was almost blank.

The old captain listened to this question and was silent for a moment, then he put a piece of tobacco in his mouth and chewed it for a moment before replying: "The most terrifying pirate group in Aitaria is naturally the Pale Pirates, this pirate group is marked by Hydra Hydra, and their core area of activity is in the area off the coast of Hanrina, but they often enter other seas as well. Greenbeard, the leader of the Pale Pirates, is an extremely cruel and ruthless man, so until you have absolute strength, you'd better stay away from these people, the farther away you can—"

"As for the other pirates, I haven't met many famous pirates, they're just vulnerable thieves. But there's a legend about a red-haired pirate in Kukai, and you know her name? ”

Fang Yu nodded.

Don Estemba Katarina, the female pirate with the same name as the legendary female pirate on Earth, did not know that, because of this, it was once thought that the female pirate was actually a Chosen One, but so far no one has actually seen her true face.

As a result, this mystery has been passed down from generation to generation, making her one of the most famous beings in the community, and along with Dorifin's Illusion, the Ghost Sea, and the Fantasy Song of the Giant Trees and Hills, it is known as the Four Mysteries of Aitalia.

Of course, there are only three of these four mysteries left, and the person who solved them is now sitting here as shy as a child.

The old captain also nodded, and then introduced another famous pirate force in the Cloud Sea, the Blood Shark Pirates, which is a major problem in the Kaulin-Ishurian Sea, but the upper nobles of the kingdom are mostly secretive about the origin of these pirates.

Of course, the old man didn't have so many taboos, and directly scolded the previous king, and Fang Yu realized that this pirate started as a privateer, and later became a faction on the sea because of some things against the kingdom.

"You'll have to deal with the Blood Shark Pirates in this sea," replied the old captain, munching on his tobacco leaf, "but fortunately they're nowhere near as good as the Pale Pirates, and if you're well prepared, they're probably not going to take advantage of them." ”

He then seemed reluctant to talk more about pirates - in fact, Fang Yu later learned that how many people were willing to talk about these bloodthirsty creatures who were begging for a living at sea? Who hasn't had a few friends and relatives suffer at their hands?

The old man was willing to discuss these issues with him, but in fact, he was already a good teacher for him.

After changing the subject, everyone told them a lot of strange stories about the sea, some of which Fang Yu had naturally heard, but most of them were outside the scope of his knowledge.

This made him sigh, sometimes it is better to hear than to see, and this is exactly what happened. You haven't been to this world, and you don't know much about it based on the descriptions of the community.

This night was a great harvest for Fang Yuan.

Probably knowing that they were leaving, at the behest of Princess Brian, the crowd opened up and told him a lot of things.

But the night was getting deeper, and the party was finally coming to an end.

When they went back to their tents at the end of the meeting, Fang Yu caught up with Sylvid and said, "Miss Sylvede, don't take what Mr. Basti said before......

Basat was the old captain's name, and Sylvede listened to Fang Yu's words, and winked with a smile in the rain: "What words?" ”

"It's ......"

"Did those words confuse the captain?"

"No, it's just ......"

"Do you mean that the captain has someone else in his heart?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu opened his mouth and looked at the noble girl.

"Looks like I guessed," Sylvide smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I haven't liked the captain yet, but—"

"But?"

"But if you work harder, the captain won't be without a chance." She winked playfully, smiled, turned and walked slowly into the rain.

Leaving Fang Yu alone in the rain, he turned around and saw two little girls snickering on the side, like two little sparrows.

"Goo," Sky Blue gestured to him, "The pigeon flew away, Brother Ed, is this a dump?" ”

Kita squinted her eyes and smiled, but she blushed and didn't speak.

"Go to bed early, you two little girls." Fang Yu said angrily.

The two little girls ran away laughing and laughing.

But unexpectedly, the tall lion man lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, looked at him silently, and patted him on the shoulder with a look of comfort: "Don't worry," he squinted and said, "Little guy, you still have a chance, don't you?" ”

"Mr. Red, why are you fooling around with them," Fang Yu replied angrily, "It's not this problem that I'm worried about. ”

"Oh, so what are you worried about?" There was a hint of teasing in the big cat's silver eyes, which made Fang Yu feel a little weak.

But he didn't know why, it wasn't the case, but Miss Sylwell's words always made him feel a little lost.

He couldn't help but look at the back of his right hand—though it was a dark metal shell, with a cold glow reflecting in the rain, and nothing else was visible.

"I'm worried about the situation on the road."

"Oh?"

"I heard Princess Brian talk about the terrain of the southern foothills of the Green Dragon Mountains, and I am worried that the rain will cause flash floods there, and I am afraid that our journey will not be easy."

"That's a problem," replied the lionman, wiping his pipe, "but that's the adventure, little one, it's not an outing, and it's not mud on your boots." But don't worry, the wind will tell us everything, how to avoid difficulties and achieve the goal. ”

"But how does the wind tell us everything?"

In his tent, Fang Yu asked Miss Tata so.

They were treated on board to a high standard, and everyone had their own tent and hammock, but that didn't mean the conditions were good, and the air was so humid that everything seemed to get wet.

The clothes were sticky to the body, and there was no place to change because the other clothes were similar. Everything is like being immersed in water during this rainy season, and it's breathless.

Fang Yu asked, breaking a small cookie for Miss Fairy, who calmly took the cookie with both hands, sniffed it with her nose, and then put it aside.

Even the dragon soul is not happy to eat moldy cookies.

Fang Yu scratched his head when he saw this: "No way, most of the food has become moldy in this ghost weather on the ship for more than a week, and these biscuits are still well preserved by me." When I get to town, I'll be sure to get some fresh food. ”

Tata looked up at him, "Actually, I don't need to eat, Mr. Knight. ”

But Fang Yu shook his head: "But I'm used to it, aren't they, I like to watch you eat." ”

Miss Fairy was slightly stunned, and was silent and did not refute.

In this world full of water vapor, neither of them could sleep. Fang Plover hung in the hammock, like an inchworm weaving a cocoon, he quietly looked at the black roof of the tent, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news in the community?" ”

It turns out that if a person steals once and is lazy, he becomes lazier and lazier.

Since Fang Yu discovered that Miss Fairy could obtain information from the community, and was much better at intelligence collection and analysis than him, he gave this job to the latter, and he had become more and more neglectful of browsing relevant information in the community.

There's really no way around it, which is why professional drafters rarely log into the community like regular drafters and fans, because they always feel like they don't have enough time.

In fact, Fang Yu has often felt like this for many days, there is not enough time, and there are too many things to do. If he didn't have to eat and sleep, he would have been studying and making 24 hours a day.

Listening to his question, Tata replied very calmly, "I have noticed that there is something unusual in the community recently, but it will take a little more time to be sure." ”

"Anomaly?"

"I feel like there's been a lot less talk in the community lately, but I'm not sure if it's a delusion."

"Less?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, turned over and sat up, and opened the community. However, he is different from Miss Fairy, Miss Fairy is not sure because she has been in the community for relatively little time, but Fang Yu has been in the community almost every day before coming to this world.

As soon as he saw it, he understood what the problem was.

The community went into a state of regulation.

I vaguely remember that six years ago, he had experienced a similar situation in the community, and that time it seemed to be because of the problem of stowaways, but this time it was the same? As soon as Fang Yu thought of this, his hair almost stood on end.

Only then did he realize that he might have caused a bit of a big trouble, but when he was in a hurry, he suddenly found that there was a reply in his mailbox.

Fang Yu subconsciously withdrew his hand, but suddenly he was stunned, and his eyes widened slightly:

"So many replies?"

"Huh," he had just clicked, and suddenly his eyes widened in surprise, "Miss Scapet!?" ”
