Chapter 243: Above the Deck
Once he was tidying up, Green was ready to go out on deck to blow the air. The busy Mage chose to stay in the room to rest, but Samael was eager to look out at the sea from the railing, and Green followed him.
Still in the salty sea breeze, Green stepped onto the deck, feeling his second boarding of the ship. As usual, there were already a lot of passengers standing on the aft deck, most of them men and women, traveling together. Although he brought his sister-in-law, he couldn't bring her out to show his affection, so he had to consciously stand aside against the fence, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at him.
There was no one there.
There is still a blue sea and blue sky, but this time he is not alone, and he has not met the mysterious uncle who blinded his kryptonite eyes in a god costume. Green remembers that he had discussed the weather with his uncle Zegor, and later talked about the dangers of sailing, such as heavy rain, sea tribe attacks, and so on. He held his hands on the fence and looked at the white seagulls chirping in the sky, stunned.
It would be nice if this recruitment could go smoothly......
-- This is a certain young duke who unknowingly set up a flag.
Green, who was still thinking nonsense, was staring at the sea to empty his thoughts, and suddenly a little strangeness in his vision caught his attention. In the distance, huge bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, like freshly boiled water. At first, Green thought that he was lucky enough to see a whale, but after a while, the bubbles gradually disappeared, and the whale or something was completely gone.
"Is it really strange, some kind of natural landscape?"
Green muttered to himself in confusion, his eyes still fixed on where he had just been, trying to see if there were still bubbles. The bubbles didn't come out, but in the sky. A black dot quickly approached, and Green quickly pulled out his speculum and looked into the distance, confirming the identity of the flying thing.
It's a falcon.
After waiting for a while, he tried to stretch out his arm, but he didn't expect the bird to actually approach him, and then flapped its wings and slowly landed on his forearm. The women on both sides were amazed, and some of them were probably noble, so they asked their male companions to buy one too, and immediately some people were conceited that their status was superior and walked in the direction of Green.
"I admire you for finding this place, but it really hurts......"
Green didn't notice the commotion behind him at all, and he stared at the yellow-clawed peregrine falcon in front of him, only to feel a tingling pain in his forearm. This guy is obviously not used to "grasping" but "grabbing" when he usually docks on a branch, and the two iron claws are stuck in Green's arm. Even though he couldn't pierce his twice-strengthened skin, it still made him uncomfortable.
Forget it, I won't care about you for the sake of how reliable you are.
Green put his hand into his clothes, but in fact, he pulled out a piece of jerky for a small fox from the backpack space, and just sent it to the peregrine falcon's beak, he was pounced on by this guy. Green subconsciously retracted his hand, then mustered up the courage to glare back at it before taking the note from the small barrel of its claws.
No way. He really can't get along with this guy, if he changes to other birds. Don't say it's an eagle peregrine falcon, even if it's a Dapeng Thunderbird, he dares to tease one or two, the big deal is a battle. But this guy is an exception, first of all, Green can't do anything with it, without this confidence, Green, who has never dealt with large birds, will inevitably feel weak.
Who made it Siona's pet?
Glancing at the peregrine falcon that stuck its head under its wings. Green raised his hand and spread out the note, which was written in Juan Xiu's handwriting with a brief message. Now that the two have reconciled, Green decides to make good use of this relationship, and he needs an agent in the royal capital, who must not only be able to excel, but also have intersections with all parties. The most important thing is to be trusted. To sum up, who better to be more suitable than her sister Xiona? So before leaving, Green agreed with her that he would contact him as soon as Wang Du had any information, but he didn't expect to come so soon.
"Sure enough, it's good to have someone behind it......" Green sighed as he looked at the note. Xiona wrote very densely, saying that on the night of his departure, a nobleman wanted to use force to forcibly leave him, it seems that because the news of his use of the statue of the three kings leaked out, and was directly suppressed by the Royal Anglican Knights led by the Ziegler brothers. The young duke knew in his heart that as an independent lord, although he had obtained the title of Duke of Rodland, the kingdom had no obligations to himself, and it was inevitable that some people would look down on him, but with Princess Sephilia's tough statement, the nobles of Miert who had just been purged could settle down a lot.
That's a good thing.
"Excuse me, can I sell that eagle of yours? I can offer a very high price. ”
Green was still thinking about the impact of this incident when a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him. He looked back and saw a middle-aged aristocratic man, although not the domineering kind, but the pride in his words was also obvious.
Green was a little puzzled, and looked down before he reacted. He also wondered why an ordinary nobleman dared to speak to him like this, only to find that he was not wearing a duke's uniform because he had rushed to the Federation in the morning, and that he had not brought an entourage with him—which Samael had long since fled to the side out of curiosity—and that it was normal for someone to be mistaken for an ordinary person.
"If you can afford it, please bid."
Green said as he turned around, revealing the front of the peregrine falcon. The middle-aged nobleman who was instigated by the female dependents was overjoyed, and he was still laughing at Green in his heart for being a poor ghost, but when he looked at it, he was suddenly frightened.
The peregrine falcon, which was grooming its feathers, made no dangerous moves, and to the horror of the middle-aged nobleman, it was a ribbon that straddled its chest.
It was painted with a large crosssword and a green olive branch wrapped around it.
"Emperor, royal ......!!"
The middle-aged nobleman exclaimed two words, and he had already reacted badly, and hurriedly covered his hand to his mouth and blocked the words himself. That pattern was well known in the kingdom, it was the emblem of the Royal Anglican Knights, so he recognized it at a glance, and he felt that the identity of this young man was about to be revealed.
"I'm so sorry that I'm so blind and delaying your work. I beg your pardon...... "The middle-aged nobleman said nervously, looking around in a panic, obviously worried that plainclothes knights would drag him down on either side.
Green smiled and touched the peregrine falcon's feathers, which surprisingly gave face and didn't dodge.
Then the smile on the young duke's face was even brighter.
"Didn't you say you'd pay for this peregrine falcon of mine?"
The middle-aged nobleman breathed a sigh of relief. hurriedly explained: "No, no, my lord, it's my wishful thinking, don't take it to heart." ”
"Oh?" Green bared his fox tail, "Then you're going to bring this over with just a few words?" ”
The middle-aged nobleman was not slow to react, and immediately took out a money card from his clothes, and a painful look flashed on his face, "My lord, there are three thousand gold coins in here......
"Good. You're good to go. ”
Green took the money card, and the middle-aged nobleman immediately retreated, and then quickly left the deck with an inexplicable arrival at the female dependent, for fear that Green, the "knight of the state religion", would regret it. The crowd of onlookers was silent for a while, and many of them had the same idea as the middle-aged nobleman, but who expected such a result, and suddenly understood that this young man's identity was not ordinary, and they all became cautious.
Green looked at the money card in his hand. As a duke, he actually wants to extort money from a small nobleman, and to be honest, I feel a little ashamed. However, the player's nature prevailed over a qiē. No way, who made him not rich
"You've done a great job." Green turned around and grinned and shook the money in front of the peregrine falcon, but was startled when he saw it stretching out its beak and quickly put it away, "I can't eat this for you." But the jerky is still there, but it's good that Tearbells is sleeping in the cabin, and you are allowed to eat another piece. ”
The peregrine falcon, which had received its reward again, kept shaking its head with a generous amount of jerky in its mouth, until it finally swallowed the jerky. Green wrote his reply, and stuffed it into a small tube beside its claws, and with a flick of its forearm, the falcon flapped its wings and flew away.
"What a handsome falcon."
Green was looking at the peregrine falcon's distant figure when an elegant voice suddenly came from beside him.
When he turned his head, he was greeted by that elegant smile.
"It's you!" Green was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his side, it turned out to be the gentleman who had two sides. Thinking of his help before, Green hurriedly thanked him: "By the way, thank you for your help before." ”
"Where, down there, it's just a matter of doing your part."
A man in a black gown bows slightly. His clothes looked very elegant, but they were not the usual style used by the nobles of the Rhodeslands. Under the black half-length hair, there are a pair of dark red eyes, always revealing a wicked smile, but it is not guarded, but it looks charming, in a word, it is an elegant temperament man.
How old is he? Thirty?
Green looked at him and wondered.
"Little brother?"
Green came back to his senses, "Rude, I'm Greenfield?" Ya Emperor Meng? Yolsmena, thanks again. "It's a stranger anyway, and since I haven't become a pretender under his gaze, I don't mind giving my full name.
"Down there's Claude? Nesserbeth, it's an honor to meet you, little Greenfield. He smiled and held out his hand and shook it with Green. Strange to say, Green thought of Albert, both of them were used to smiling at people, and they were also surprisingly blind when they smiled, but the two had completely different temperaments.
"Is Mr. Claude going to Tania for business?" After shaking hands, Green asked, glancing at the suitcase he was carrying beside him.
"Little brother misunderstood, I'm an authentic adventurer." Claude said with a smile and shook his head.
Adventurer? Wearing this evening dress?
Green's surprised gaze was obviously noticed by Claude, "Don't look like this, it's ...... below" Before he finished speaking, Samael, whose face was white, stumbled over, threw himself directly on the railing, and weakly posed as a dead dog.
"How did you do that?" Green was taken aback by him, and didn't bother to talk to Claude, and hurriedly checked the condition of the two spearmen. At first, the young duke thought that this guy had fallen for some trick, but after a little inspection, he found that this guy turned out to be ......
"Seasickness."
Claude walked over, opened his small suitcase, took out a light blue potion from it and handed it to Green, "He's just seasick, and the potion under him should relieve the symptoms of vertigo." ”
Green took the potion bottle, opened it and sniffed it, it was indeed the same as the anti-anomaly potion he had drunk before, and quickly helped Samael to pour it for him. The berserkers of the Kingdom of Wilts drank the potion almost unconsciously, muttered for a while, and finally came to their senses and sat on the deck along the railing to catch their breath.
"This medicine works so fast, you made it yourself?" Green looked at the empty medicine bottle, and then at Samael, who no longer rolled his eyes, and was slightly surprised.
"Exactly, I know a little bit about pharmacy, and I used to be in charge of medical work in the adventurous team." Claude replied with a smile.
"Pharmacist?" Green's heart moved, there is now a shortage of craftsmen in various manufacturing industries in the territory, the magic side can be said to be the most complete piece, and alchemy can be trained by Albert to train apprentices. The Broken Sword Guard has the Kunari who can take charge of the blacksmith and the artisan, and Wiseman now fills the void in the runes, and the only thing missing is a "wet nurse" - such as a priest or a pharmacist. The healing profession was particularly important in the war, not to mention the fact that the population of Kinlunga itself was small, and the need for this aspect was even more urgent.
However, there is nowhere to find it when stepping on iron shoes, and there seems to be a good choice right now.
Green had decided, and he was about to open his mouth and try to extend an invitation to Claude.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. (To be continued......)
