Chapter 105: It's a Sad Story (3)
From the year 718 of the Faith Calendar, when Mr. Za defected to Turing and his whereabouts have been unknown, David returned to Esolawan to continue his career as a sailor, and the uncrowned king's bond with the world came to an end, and at the same time began another part of his career as a "legendary sailor".
- Literally legendary, but if you talk about the degree of praise, this is also a kind of legend.
At the age of 26, David officially became the captain of a Hague-class ship, which is equivalent to building a medium-sized enterprise from scratch in ten years. In the following ten years, it was replaced by a walrus-class ship, and he drove this ship to explore Turing's coastal waters, and his fame spread throughout the coast, and even came inland, during which the military extended an olive branch to him many times, and the position was once opened to the rank of regiment commander.
What is the concept of a corps commander? It's a topic worth exploring.
After the invincible ironsail navy disappeared into the endless sea, King Gavin I at that time broke up the original naval establishment in order to completely erase the influence of Daylin Prussia in the navy.
Because of Dai Lin's bitter pleading, the navy of only 500,000 people saved 400,000, and these 400,000 people were distributed in the southern, central, and northern theaters of war on the southeast coast in a ratio of 1 to 2 to 1.
Among them, the Central Theater of Operations near Esola Bay has the largest number of people and is the most well-equipped.
Each theater has a different number of legions, each with its own commander, and each of them decides on the supply of resources according to the annual military exercises (this is where the inspiration for the Sea Clan may come from), but the unity is under the management of the Admiral - if corresponding, the Admiral is equal to the status of General Dalin.
The most famous of these is naturally the Eye of the Storm Legion in the Central Theater.
That's right, the eye of the storm is just an ordinary legion.
But the commander of this legion has always been the most capable person in the royal family, and there have been a total of nine admirals and three kings over the years, which can be said to be the top 10 positions of almost the entire Turing power.
Of course, the military will not give David the Eye of the Storm Legion Commander, and only let him command an ordinary legion...... However, let's not forget that in rank and nominally, the corps commander is on an equal footing...... In other words, the military wants to promote such a commoner, who is not even a nobleman, to one of the most prominent and dignified people in the coastal region in one fell swoop, and he can even eat at the same table with people of the level of future kings and future admirals, talking and laughing......
This seemed to people at the time to be a fantasy!
However, what is even more fantastical is that David actually refused!
His reasons are also poetic,
"I'm a free seabird, and I can't adapt to life in a golden wire cage."
As a result, he earned the title of the Uncrowned King, and those free sailors all looked forward to the day when they could say this domineering word to the military masters, and then reject them fiercely!
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances, and not long after David was in the limelight, his ship sank when he went to sea.
Suddenly it sank, and disaster struck inexplicably.
Some people say that he watched the walrus-class ship plunge headlong into the Devil's Triangle, when it happened to be a stormy weather, when the lightning pierced the dim fog, he saw the ship being broken in half, as if it had hit a reef, and the softest belly was flooded with too much water, and then the vision was shrouded in fog, I am afraid it was overwhelmed, and finally broke into two, and the ship was destroyed and killed.
At that time, the situation was too critical, and several nearby boats wanted to go up to the rescue, but unfortunately they were blown away from the sea by strong winds, and when the wind calmed down and people went to look for it again, they did not even find the wreckage of the ship......
So the news was sent back to Esola Bay, and for a time everyone mourned for him, and the sailors wept bitterly, remembering the loss of a hero, but also lamenting the mercilessness of the sea.
"So, the rumors are wrong?"
Mu Yan asked.
"It's true, I did drive the boat into the Devil's Triangle and crashed into the reef to the point where the ship was destroyed." David tugged at his lips and looked down at the scales on his chest.
"It was dark, the storm was blowing violently, the fragments of the reef and the broken mast were mixed, the big ship tilted, the things on board fell downward, I happened to be stuck in the chest by a broken stubble of wood, pierced through, and I couldn't survive, just as my consciousness was about to dissipate, a woman appeared......"
"Calypso?"
David smiled bitterly: "That's right, it's the god of the sea, I didn't know who it was at the time, I just held on to the last glimmer of hope and stretched out my hand and begged her to save my ship, and I was willing to pay anything for it." Guess what she said? β
"How?"
"She said, 'I was only going to sleep with you, but since you've said so, I'm going to reluctantly accept your faith,' and you winked if you agreed."
Mu Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, the sea god deserves to be a strange thing that can get together with Garton, how can these two people be more difficult to explain than one another......
"So you agreed?"
David rolled his eyes, "I'm dying, how can I not agree...... And do I have a choice? Then I blinked subconsciously, and before I could react to what was going on, it became like this, the injury was all healed, and the place where the wound was originally covered by scales was also wrapped in scales, and once it touched the water, the lower half of the body would also become a fishtail, and it would change back when I went ashore...... At the same time, she told me, 'This is the strongest thing in the world, and it is impossible for a mortal to hurt you.' ββ
When he said this, he glanced at Mu Yan meaningfully.
The latter pretended not to see it and continued to ask: "Then your ship is also ...... Wait, but isn't it a walrus? And your ghost ship is almost as big as the Jackdaw......"
"Nope." David shook his head seriously: "That's what I said, why has something to do with that guy." β
Mu Yan knew that he was referring to Teacher Zha, and immediately pricked up his ears.
"When I heard the news of the eldest lady's illness, I was heartbroken for a while, but soon I began to wonder why she suddenly got sick......
"Why?"
"I suspect she's cursed! And the curse was brought by your teacher, the fellow, and passed on to her! David said hatefully.
"You fart!" Mu Yan couldn't help but retort.
"Hmph...... I know you won't admit it, listen to me! When I made a name for myself in Esola Bay, I started investigating the origins of this guy. But soon, I found out that his first fifteen years of experience seemed to be a blank slateβnot that there was no way to obtain evidence, but that it looked like a fake, how could a noble grandfather who became a purple-robed mage before the age of thirty be just a small fisherman in Manarola when he was a child? β
But that's really true...... Mu Yan didn't interrupt him and listened to him continue.
"This is the first point, his experience is fake, so this person's origin is unknown!" David said categorically: "And then the second point, do you know the port of Pilates? β
Mu Yan nodded, and suddenly realized something: "You mean that ship!?" β
"That's right! Hah, you know that! The captain suddenly became energetic: "Your teacher must have told you, right?" Haha, I'll just say it, that guy must have something to do with it! A shipwhen, five hundred nautical miles away, found the ship five hundred nautical miles from Porto Plates, but then all the people who found it died! And that's not all, after those people died, even the bodies were stolen, you say, isn't that the one who did it! β
He gritted his teeth, and Mu Yan looked confused when he heard it.
These are obviously two completely different things, but they are forced together by the other party...... But he couldn't refute it!
The shipwreck 500 nautical miles away in Port Pilates happened to be the one in which the blonde Lady Elysiffer and her daughter fled, and Mr. Za did investigate the ship...... And, David was right, the bodies of the sailors who had died under the curse had indeed been stabbed by the teacher...... The two of them also discussed this matter when they talked about the pure white ball half a year ago, and dug up a lot of clues from it.
But it's really just a coincidence! Take a look at the latest chapters of "Twilight Chronicles Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
