Act 259: The Sea of Flashes, the Sea Route to Ampesel (Part I)

.. How's the talk, Griffine? When Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was wearing a pale silver dress and long dress, stepped on the horse with the support of the attendants, the nun Princess Magdal, who had been waiting in the chamber for a long time, asked aloud.

.. Not well, the old fox of Anlek wants to let Haruzer go to Anlek with him", Griffiin replied lightly, the weather was still a little cold, and the maid put a leather shawl on her side. She pulled her shawl and continued, "This is impossible, I will never hand over Haruzer to him, and I guess Teacher Liwoods and Makaro Qing will not agree. ”

.. So what to do with a nickname? "The delicate and touching nun princess has a worried look on her face." I heard that your brother's men have found Anlek. "It's okay", Griffiin was not the slightest nervous: "Our Duke Lion opened his mouth, he knows that we can't compromise on this condition, but he won't explain his hole cards lightly, and at the same time he wants to know where our bottom line is." With that, the half-elf girl looked up and glanced faintly at Ampesel's sky.

Although it is close to the month of recovery in the year of the sword, the sky of this metropolis is still a gloomy leaden gray, as if snowflakes are falling at any moment.

Griffiin sighed: There's still something to talk about, Muni. ”

In Cruz, explorers called the inland sea west of Eruin and south of Cruz the Sea of Glitter. Heading west from Griszaar Harbour leads to the sparkling, pale blue ocean and turns north to enter one of Ampesel's major shipping lanes.

Today, however, a beautiful and brisk three-masted sailing ship is breaking the waves, and since it is still close to land, there are seagulls on the mast and surrounded by seagulls. This ship is full of papyrus and crystal ornaments, disguised as a merchant ship from the southern kingdom of Lubik - Lubik is the southernmost desert country of the Sea of Flash, full of exotic customs, there is a land trade route from Lubik to Jiufeng, but Brando has not been there a few times, after all, it is too far away One by one, and now this sailing ship is called, the Far Land "is short, and it is a merchant ship that can also be found and registered in Ampesel, The fact that Cagliss was able to get such a ship was due to the fact that the Cold-Decayed Collar group represented by Brando now had a fairly good relationship with the merchants of Ampesel.

It's a clipper, according to those who are begging for a living at sea these days, it's the best lad.

The captain of the Far Land is quite young, only in his thirties, and most of the others are still working as first mates at his age, but on the other hand, it also indicates that this captain is capable. The young captain was like a king on the ship, and he didn't obey the authority of the nobles, and it just so happened that Brando didn't have much of an aristocratic frame, and the two got along quite well.

The captain's name was James, and unlike other navigators, he kept himself clean, both in his beard and in his dress, which is probably a common problem among young people. But this is not a bad thing, the captain likes to wear a red tweed coat, with a boat-shaped hat, the captain's sword at his waist, and a pipe to beg for a living at sea, more or less hobby, Brando has seen a captain who is drunk and commanding a fleet, and this captain is a model in the ranks.

In fact, he smelled a hint of a soldier from this captain, strict self-discipline, and no slight. After asking, I learned that this captain turned out to be a famous family, and his ancestors all served in the navy of the kingdom, and although his generation has turned to business, the temperament that he has been familiar with since childhood cannot be changed.

The two of them stood on the side of the ship, watching the sea gradually become more and more blue and gradually revealing a hint of deep purple, and it had been a day since they entered the sea of glitter, and gradually they could not see the shadow of the continental shelf, and then sailed for one or two chains, and they completely entered the deep sea. After nightfall, there are no more seagulls on land.

These are the common sights of Mama James, who has been on this route for twenty years, from sailor to first mate, and has only recently become a captain, and few people on this ship can match him in terms of experience. Brando, on the other hand, was not surprised, for he had seen so much and the depths of the oceans that he could tell more stories of the gods and monsters of the sea than the most seasoned sailors.

Brando was surrounded by a noble lady, and Antikina looked at the endless sea almost with a pale face, she was born in the southernmost mountains of Eruin since she was a child, and she had only heard of the sea in her father's notes, and the eldest lady could still be reserved when she first saw the sea in Griszaar Harbour, but according to the words of people who have been at sea all year round, the sea you have seen on land is completely different from the sea you have seen at sea.

Once at sea, you leave your fate completely in the hands of this goddess, who is sometimes gentle, sometimes cold. However, even in her most gentle time, the waves of the sea were still like undulating peaks, and the three-masted galleon, which looked big and sturdy when anchored in the harbor, was almost like a leaf in the ocean, and those who had little sailing experience often weakened their legs with fright when they first boarded the ship.

Like Roman, who was at first full of energy and curious about everything on the ship, now he was dizzy and weak, and ran to his room to lie down, so that the merchant lady once complained loudly that Brando had cheated on her, and got on this thief ship. However, Brando told this little cutie that if you want to become a big businessman, it is impossible not to get used to the wind and waves at sea, and in the end, the eldest lady can only bury herself in the pillow and hum and chirp twice.

"I think I'm beginning to understand my father a little, my ......lord," said Antitina, standing on the side of the ship, looking down at the white trail of the sailboat on the turquoise sea. In fact, she didn't feel good, but when she thought that the lord was still on the deck, how could she retreat alone as a staff member, she gritted her teeth and insisted here.

"Huh?" Brando looked back at her quiet staff lady. Antijuna was as knowledgeable and eloquent as all of Eruin's daughters of nobles, but what set her apart from all of them was her strength.

"Before I came out with my lord, I didn't know that the outside world was so vast, beautiful, and exciting.

I've seen the landscapes described in my father's notes, but I don't realize until today that it's hard to imagine how much this world draws you to explore without being there. ”

"Just like now when I stand here, looking at the junction of the sky and the sea in the distance, I can't help but think about what is on the other side of the sea. Antitina couldn't help but hold back her hair, which was blown away by the sea breeze, and this action gave her a girlish and youthful charm: "I think my father thinks so too." ”

Brando listened to Antitina's tone a little faintly, knowing that she was thinking of her deceased parents and the hometown of Golan Elson, and for a while she was a little stupid, yes, he himself was not adrift. Brando has his own family in this world, but it doesn't belong to half of Sophie's after all, and he is still not ready to go back there, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Antitina's self-pity is due to homelessness, but he has a home and can't go back.

Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but ask, "Do you blame him?" ”

Antitina shook her head: "I don't know, my mother occasionally complains. But I felt that I should understand him, because I felt that I came from an aristocratic background and should be more sensible than other children. But it's one thing to think about it, and then I found out that I still have resentment in my heart. ”

She sighed faintly: "No matter how beautiful the scenery of this world is, is it not as good as my wife and daughter?" I envy the children of my neighbors, even though their family is far inferior to mine. ”

Brando looked at the girl's side face and asked, "Does your father know your talent for creating a magic transmission core?" ”

"I think he knew that he rarely went home, but he often brought back some incomplete documents with him. I think he still cares about his daughter, but maybe it's not in the right direction. ”

Brando touched the gray-brown stone in his bag, and since he had seen the quartz sand in the underground hall, he had always thought that it might have something to do with it.

"I think you guessed it right, he cares about you, it's just that everyone expresses their feelings differently." Brando said softly.

Antijuna raised her head slightly, her dark eyes looking at Brando with some confusion. Chenduo Tsubaki Caichen Festival. Crumbs visit wèn: h post plus day to listen to U training four m (hundred books hug) Rong Min

At this time, Calglis came up from below deck with a young non-commissioned officer of the White Lion Guard, although this young man had never been to a ship, but he seemed to have an innate talent for receiving novelties in the shortest possible time, and after only half a day, he could walk on the deck as well as the most seasoned sailor, and even the captain James praised him in amazement as a natural seaman.

Of course, James was also amazed by Brando's insight, Brando was embarrassed to say that he had been at sea for a few years in the past, how old he was, and he had too much experience, so he could only lie and say that he had some knowledge in the mage's literature. The things obtained from the book are completely different from the actual experience, which definitely cannot escape the eyes of the young captain, but the mage's things have always been a box for ordinary people, and anything can be put into it, plus Brando's mage squire is obviously a real highland wizard, so he can barely dispel his suspicions.

However, as for the young non-commissioned officer beside Calglis, his face was not very good, even after a big battle on the banks of the Griss River before, Brando had never seen such a depressed look on the faces of these young people. These brave young men can overcome even the most terrible enemies, but in the face of nature, they are about to retreat.

"Your subordinates are really good, I have seen many soldiers in Ampesel, in Karasu, but none of them are such outstanding young men." But at this moment the captain suddenly turned around, and with one hand holding his pipe, he pointed at Karglis and the young non-commissioned officer beside him, and approvingly.

Indeed, although the young people are trembling, they are already too good compared to ordinary people who go to sea for the first time.

"It's not even close." Brando shook his head. This time he went to sea to Ampesel, and the most people he took with him were the non-commissioned officer corps of the future White Lion Infantry, all forty young men, almost two-thirds of the entourage. Brando has high hopes for these young people, and he hopes that they can go through some trials and tribulations in the future with him, and everyone who remains can become the backbone and excellent generals of Eruin in the future.

Of course, these young people may not understand this at the moment, but no one will doubt that it is a bad thing for the lord to bring himself, young is the era of enthusiasm and momentum, even in the face of powerful enemies and difficulties, dare to try to challenge, this is the so-called story of the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"But thanks to the captain, this time I brought a lot of people, plus camouflaged goods and necessary food and fresh water, even the captain's cargo was much less." Brando added one more point.

This time he did bring a lot of people, because Ampesel had to involve business matters, so Roman had to go with him, and Brando was not at ease with her alone, so he brought Antitina with him. Moreover, the staff lady can be said to be the person who is most familiar with the Eruin nobles around him, and has a good mind, and having her in store is also of great help to the purpose of his trip.

Then there are the Lubis mercenaries, which is a prophecy, Brando once joked that he would take Tina and Jarro to Ampesel to see and learn, and now that he has this opportunity, he will naturally not be the first to break his promise as a lord and an example. Besides, the Lubis mercenaries are experienced and there is no possibility of casualties, so they can guide the young people of the White Lion Infantry Non-commissioned Officer Regiment during the operation.

Then down is Charles, who is his mage squire, who is a cover for his status as a highland knight and has to go. There are also Ropar, Mordfez, Andreg, and Medisa who are the main combat forces. This trip Ampesel's sabotage of the marriage was full of danger in Brando's eyes, although he was in the dark, the enemy was in the light, but Brando was thinking on his knees, and he knew that there must be other people besides him who were unwilling to Griffi's marriage to Anlek, and it was impossible for the royal party and the Grand Duke not to take precautions, so in terms of combat power, Brando was only too little, not too much.

Finally, there is Akane, this girl is almost like Brando's shadow at the moment, she rarely speaks, but she never leaves Brando, although the sequelae of the god's blood are almost impossible to recur after absorbing the golden apple and dragon blood, but she still seems to be temporarily inseparable from Brando. Brando had said before that he would let her go when her injuries were healed, but seeing Akane like this, he had to keep his mouth shut.

At the same time, there was an unexpected guest on this trip, and after hearing about the plans that Brando was going to carry out, he didn't even notify any of the people who took the initiative to board the ship. According to his own statement, in order to ensure that his contractor and half of the students would not die in Ampesel, but even if the Gray Sword Saint said that he was going for sightseeing, Brando estimated that no one present would dare to object.

After all, where is the strength of the people?

However, the old swordsman Curlan was reluctant to take the initiative to participate in his affairs for the time being because of the Count of Denel, otherwise there would be another strong player in the gold side. And these people are already crowding the three-masted galleon, which is the result of Brando's collection of several more conspicuous cards such as the Fireclaw Spearman, the Wind Spirit Spider, the Fire Djinn, and the Holy Angel.

You must know that ordinary merchant ships often only have the necessary sailors, and it is impossible to be like a warship and full of sailors, but in fact, at this moment, although the Far Land is still a merchant ship on the surface, it is actually a warship except for the lack of artillery.

To Brando's words, the young captain smiled and replied: You're strict, my lord, it's just business. "There was still something he hadn't said, and that was that Toniguel didn't have any special products at the moment, and although the lord had promised to open up a new trade route for them, this promise was not very believable, at least as far as Jan's eyes were concerned.

Their merchant fleet came here because it was nothing more than buying and selling here, and the merchant didn't care whether the other party was a robber or a rebel, as long as the other party did business according to the rules and the settlement of money and goods was not delayed, that was the best guest. What's more, James had a good impression of Brando, others said that these people were bandits and rebels, but he could see that Brando was a polite aristocrat, although his way of dealing with people was a little strange, but it was unexpectedly good.

For Brando's subordinates, Jamis is also full of praise, he has seen many nobles' subordinates and private troops, but he has to say that the temperament and spiritual outlook of these soldiers he saw in Tonigel are actually not inferior to the regular army of the kingdom.

Even more, the young captain thought about it, and probably only the knights he had ever seen belonged to the royal family have such a mental outlook.

He had only come as a captain, an ordinary merchant, but by the time he returned to Ampesel, the young captain had begun to be a little curious about Brando and his men. In his opinion, this young man may not be as simple as his appearance, and he can't help but think that maybe there is a possibility for further interaction in the future.

Thinking of this, the captain put down his pipe and knocked on the side of the ship.

At this time, Calglis and his non-commissioned officers happened to be with Brando.
