Chapter 119: Vicissitudes of Life
"It would never be handed over to such a group of crappy sailors."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
The crew's expressions of reverence had not faded, and now they froze on their faces, looking extremely embarrassed. Barbossa, who was the captain of the ship, suddenly darkened his face, and the anger in his eyes was self-evident.
No one wants to be pointed at and scolded, especially if he is still looked down upon for his ability to survive. Even if this person is a hero they revere and a great man who lives in the story, they can't bear it!
Mu Yan sighed in his heart.
He naturally understood what was going on, and so far, Dai Lin didn't know what happened to Turing, maybe the general thought that Rorschach was going deep into the Seven Seas as a vanguard, or even a general. So the sailors in his mouth are not in the traditional sense, but soldiers.
It is indeed too much to judge the crew members who are begging for a living in peacetime by the requirements of the navy, not to mention anything else, the appearance of the crew alone cannot afford this title, and they are all unkempt and unkempt, without the slightest spirit of a soldier.
It's that people have tempers, and when they are pointed at their noses and scolded, naturally some people will talk back, for example, a certain crew member who has a general relationship with Rorschach is very annoyed when he gets on the ship halfway, he has been on the ship for so long, and he is usually not less angry, but he has nowhere to vent, and now the fuse is lit, and the old and new hatreds are pouring into his heart together, and the anger is irrepressible!
"You are no longer the general that everyone admires, you are now a traitor to Turing!"
Of course, this was not spoken.
He was going to say this, but when he tried to open his mouth, he was controlled by a force, and he couldn't spit out half a word at all, let alone speak, and he couldn't even express anger and horror, and his expression was as usual, but his body seemed to be out of control, and all he could move up and down his body was his eyeballs.
No one showed his abnormality, little Fisher subconsciously looked at Mu Yan, and collided with the latter's gaze, like falling into an ice cave for a moment, as if his soul was frozen.
"You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."
A voice sounded in his head, and then the control on his body was lifted.
Little Fisher suddenly relaxed, and nearly collapsed on the deck.
"Hehe, they're not soldiers, general." Mu Yan came out to play a round and also helped explain two sentences: "Today's Horse Plain is very different from the situation seven hundred years ago, Turing's national strength has increased tenfold compared to before, and ships like this can already accept personal orders, so this is my personal ship, and they are the sailors I hire."
"It turned out to be just ordinary sailors" Dai Lin's expression changed, and he couldn't help but be in awe of this group of people.
"That's a bunch of venerable warriors"
The crew members also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they had been mistaken for soldiers
At the same time, they also vaguely sensed what Mu Yan meant, and it sounded like the boss didn't seem to intend to tell the current situation of the Dalin Prussian family?
"And you're saying it's a private order?" Dai Lin couldn't help but be curious: "That Turing is indeed much better than before, haha At that time, if we wanted to add a walrus-class ship, we had to save money for a while." β
The general seemed to be shocked by Turing's current national strength, and a smile of relief appeared on his face, but he was a little surprised when he saw Rorschach.
"Since it is to recruit sailors, how can the descendants of the Prussian family be on your ship?"
"Uh," Rorschach was speechless for a moment.
"Oh, that's right, he's on board as a freelance mercenary and my bodyguard, this young man, and he's strong enough to enter the Raven Swordsmen's Order, General."
Mu Yan didn't realize that Rorschach was almost ten years older than him when he said this. However, he didn't lie, with Rorschach's level close to level 5O, even in the Raven Swordsman Regiment could get a military rank that was not low.
"The White Crow Swordsmen?"
Dai Lin's eyes lit up. In their time, the White Crow Swordsmen after the breakdown of the Black Thorn Forest was simply the most sacred place in the hearts of all Turing boys, and joining the rebuilt legion was a symbol of status and glory.
He is now as excited as a Chinese person hearing that his grandson's grandson's grandson was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, patting Rorschach on the shoulder, "Haha, good job, good job!" β
Rorschach laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a while.
But what should come is always coming, and Dalin immediately asked:
"Has anyone of the Prussian generation become a general?"
He asked questions very naturally, freely, and with a strong sense of confidence.
Turing is a nostalgic country, because of the strict political system, the power of several wealthy families at the time of the founding of the country was deeply rooted in the soil, and the foundation was solid, even if the dynasty changed later, and the incident of the prince seizing the heir was born from time to time, these families were just consuming the chips in their hands, and they did not break their bones, so Jones is still that Jones, Leon is still that Lyon, Georginny is still that Georginny, but Prussia is long gone.
In some historical records, General Dalin was extremely strict with his descendants, so he had high expectations for "what happened after his death", especially when he learned that Rorschach had the strength to join the White Crow Swordsmen's Regiment, this expectation was a little higher, so even if this sentence was joking, it was more confident.
However, the answer was worse than he thought, so bad that Rorschach didn't know how to speak.
"The general said with a smile" Mu Yan took over the conversation: "If Prussia becomes a general, will Rorschach become a free mercenary and get on my ship?" Since Turing broke away from the Morning Star, there has been no war in the Plain of the Horse Plain for more than 600 years, the crow tower in the Black Thorn Forest has been demolished, the broken sword that symbolizes the will to resist on the Orvo Wall has also rusted, and the Morning Star people have forgotten that they were once the overlord of the entire Big 6, like a sleeping lion in the twilight of life, everything has changed.
"And you, what you left behind as a family motto, has become inappropriate." He chuckled and said: "Today's Turing, in addition to the royal family, as a businessman, the Jones family is dominant, and the descendants of the former knight captain His Excellency Leon also have to start a horse farm business, as for Georgine, you would never have imagined that there was a Mr. Brand, who made the brand of Bran Georgeney the loudest luxury in the Horse Plain, clothing, hats, jewelry, and powdered perfumes, which had nothing to do with the military, brought a steady stream of wealth to the Georginny family
"And what about your Prussians? In a corner of peace, as a loyal dog of the empire, in times of war, sharp teeth and claws, brave and extraordinary, do you rely on barking to please others at this time? As for loyalty, who isn't? So it has declined, just like the birth, old age, sickness and death of people, and the inevitable decline. β
This time it was Dai Lin's turn to be stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, the general slowly raised his head.
"Are you saying that the Plain has been peaceful for more than 700 years?"
"Yes" Mu Yan sighed: "There has been no bloodshed, no conflict, and no war for more than 700 years. β
But the war on faith never stopped, and he added in his heart.
"His Majesty the present King has had four coups d'Γ©tat during the reign of Gavin XVII, but in the end, the royal power has returned to the Gavin dynasty and has inherited its past glory."
Dai Lin didn't speak for a long time, and seemed a little distracted.
Naga are also immortal, adult Naga can live to be 4oo years old, with a golden age of at least 3oo years, in such a group, Dai Lin's concept of time may become indifferent.
Seven hundred years is only a few generations for Naga, but for mankind, it is enough to turn the sea into a mulberry field, the once invincible lion into a sick cat, the indestructible faith into a wasteland, and the oath of loyalty into a dead letter
Ironically, Dalin's loyalty to Turing has not changed in the slightest.
This also made Mu Yan feel that he couldn't tell him this fact.
