Coincidentally, not long after the "Bow Portrait of the King of the Near Sea" was installed, a strong wind was set off on the sea, and the sails were hunting, making people feel that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The salty sea breeze whipped up the huge waves, pounding the sea not far away again and again, like a giant roaring and hammering the earth.

When Kitagawa returned to the bridge, First Officer Lanster's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Captain Higgs! That cloud is getting closer and closer, should you lower the mainsail first, otherwise the storm will strengthen several times after entering that area, and it will be difficult for a ship like ours to be unscathed. ”

Kitagawa pondered in his heart and decided to ask Lancet.

"Lancet, with your experience, if the wind is five times stronger than the one now, can it compare to the storm there?"

"5 times!?"

Lancet looked back at the full sails that were being blown by the wind, and 'Squeak! The rattling mast subconsciously said, "Almost!" I'm afraid it's going to be weaker..."

"That's it! For a while, try to sail as far south as possible, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Beichuan said nonchalantly after listening to Lancet's prediction.

"What a line! What's not a big problem? Shouldn't we be prepared before the storm comes? Lancet was a little confused.

"Huh! Actually, I don't think it's necessary. Besides, I'm the captain and you have to listen to me! Is that right? Someone subconsciously touched his chin.

'Wait! Why does it suddenly feel like the boat is getting faster? ’

Lancet was startled and quickly looked up at the sails.

'There is nothing abnormal in the sails!' But it's almost half as fast! Now there are about 16 verses! Not good! Because the ship has become faster, it is now on the edge of the storm! ’

"Attention all staff! Fix yourself! We're about to enter the storm periphery! ”

Lancet shouted, but except for Ken and Baru, who had experience in sailing, the others on the ship didn't know what the loud shout meant, and froze in place...

The Sukhbaatar entered the periphery of the storm, and the sky darkened as if the end had come! Even the air around him was oppressive, as if it was about to suffocate.

As soon as the bow of the Sukhbaatar entered the area, a crosswind slapped sideways towards the Sukhbaatar like a huge palm! The waves set off by the cross wind alone are seven or eight meters high!

Seeing this, Lancet hurriedly grasped the rudder with both hands (a look of generosity), at this time, he could not avoid the whole ship, because he was the helmsman at the helm, and decided the safety of a boatload of people...

His fingers had turned white, but he found that most of the people on the boat still hadn't dodged, and he hurriedly shouted again: "Get out of the way!" ”

Boom!

The wave was seven or eight meters high, and it slapped the side of the ship on the left side of the Sukhbaatar, and the ship shook gently! The rolled up waves scattered in the air, and the sea poured down and drenched everyone's clothes...

"That's it? "Ranster, who had been drenched in seawater, said dumbfounded.

"Lancet is a veteran of the crew! You can guess this kind of thing! Liz, who was also drenched, looked at the first mate with a little star in his eyes and a look of adoration.

Hearing Liz's words, everyone focused on the first mate, looking at those eyes full of admiration or worship...

"It's... What's going on. Lancet looked suspiciously at the initiator of the incident, 'a certain captain'.

I saw someone who had perfectly escaped the wet body crisis just now, and said, "Woo~!" I'm so sleepy! I'll go to bed first, and I'll ask Leeds to call me if there's something~"

"Hey! Wait a minute! ”

Someone completely ignored Ranster's cries and went straight to the captain's room to sleep.

Ranster glanced at his wet clothes in embarrassment and smiled bitterly. (I just want you to help me take the helm and change my clothes, what are you slipping...) ）

"Alright! What an irresponsible guy this guy is! But why would such a person feel reassured? With him, it seems that even if you are in the middle of the storm, you will not panic... ”

When the captain was gone, a thought popped into Ranster's mind.

"You are the captain of the ship, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for this ship?"

The middle-aged man thought like this, but forgot that he was still holding the rudder in his hand! Just in a daze, at the current speed of the Sukhbaatar, it has already run out more than ten meters...

"First Officer Ranster! Wrong course! Balu shouted.

"Oh! Oh~" Hearing Balu's shout, Lenster hurriedly reversed the circle, and the people who had just been safe in the waves immediately fell to the ground.

"Hey, hey! How to take the helm, I really can't stand the praise..."

"Ah, I'm sorry~" Lancet laughed with him, but he didn't dare to continue to wander.

The next stop should be Tiha...

A brig, riding the wind and waves, sailed towards Tiha like a meteor piercing the night...

――――――

Tiha is one of the three major towns of Nord along with Sagoth and Port Wall, in addition to being also rich in dried fish, it is also the largest slave trading place in Nord, where you can meet slaves of almost all races on the mainland, even aliens from other continents, but maybe the only people you don't see are Nords...

With the sound of the boatman's horn, the Sukhbaatar arrived at the port of Tiha after six days at sea...

"Hello! Welcome to Tiha! What kind of cargo are you carrying on board? Judging by the draft of the ship, it seems to be about 68 tons. ”

As soon as Beichuan's ship arrived at the port, a person who looked like a tax officer came over to talk.

Beichuan glanced at the person who came, he was not fat or thin, he was of medium stature, and his appearance belonged to the type that he couldn't find if he threw it into the pile, only the two mustaches on his mouth were quite distinctive. He was wearing a somewhat shabby aristocratic robe, which looked like it had been worn for a long time but was still very clean overall, and he looked like a very old-fashioned guy.

"Sir! We are a newly formed cross-border brigade! Leeds brought our paperwork..."

When Leeds heard this, he immediately took some pieces of parchment from the ship and handed them to the man.

After reading it, the man immediately bowed and said:

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I don't know if you are the adults of the brigade, so you don't need to check the cargo on the ship! Adults are all my Nord Optimus Pillars, and civilians such as me all rely on people like adults to live a good life! ”

"You're welcome, sir!" Beichuan hurriedly returned the salute, the character of a person like him is like this, 'others respect me a foot, I respect others a foot'.

"That's right! Seeing that the adults' brigade did not have a name yet, the villain suggested that it would be better to go to the mayor of the town to register one as soon as possible, so that once the adults became famous, no matter which port they went to in Nord, they would not dare to disturb the adults. The man complimented with a smile on his face.

"That's right! Also! Excuse me, where is the mayor of Tiha? ”

"O Mayor! He's not far from Lord Faenjar's castle, and the villain can take you there! The man smiled and handed the parchment in his hand to Kitagawa.

"That's really bothering you, I don't know your surname?" Kitagawa handed the parchment to Leeds on the side.

"My name is Carl, and I'm the tax collector at this dock." The tax collector said.

"Excellent! Mr. Karl! Came to the ship for breakfast first, and then went to the mayor. What do you think? ”

"It's an honor!" Carl smiled.
