The troop carrier was not very spacious, the cabin was low and damp, and Thassarian and William were lucky enough to be assigned to the same cabin, and in addition to them, there were two other squads of soldiers, four of them crammed into a small cabin, and the only light source was a small dim oil lamp.

"We've been at sea for a few days?" William asked Sassarian with a dying breath, he was in a very bad seasickness, he couldn't eat anything, and there was definitely no comfort in the cabin, so William even had the illusion of living like a year

"It's only been three days, and even if you ask ten times a day, the time won't get any faster, but I just saw Nanhai Town on the deck, maybe you can ask the captain to go down to land and rest after landing?" Although Thassarian was also seasick, he was in much better mental condition than William, and he was able to go on deck for a spin without anything.

"You mean Nanhai Town? You read that right? As soon as he heard that he could go ashore, William was immediately refreshed, and he immediately walked towards the captain's quarters in high spirits.

It's just that when William came to the door of the captain's room, it was already overcrowded, and it seemed that the news of the fleet's arrival in Nanhai Town had spread on the ship, and these soldiers had obviously come to ask the captain to go to land to "rest for a while", and it was obvious that the Lordaeron soldiers still needed to improve their adaptability to navigation.

However, the captain of the troop carrier did not accede to the soldiers' request, and the captain, Lieutenant Avery, an experienced and irascible old man, responded to the seasick soldiers' pleas cordially and friendly: "You say you are seasick? Want to go ashore? Okay! Don't come back if you go ashore, I don't want soft eggs like you girls on the boat! ”

"We really can't stand it, you can do it, have mercy on us!" Seeing that Lieutenant Avery was so kind and friendly, the soldiers replied with neither humility nor arrogance, and they pleaded with a pleading face, wanting to know the affection, but it was useless.

"Don't say that Lao Tzu won't help you!" Lieutenant Avery shook his head irritably, he led the soldiers to the side of the ship, and then pointed to the town of Nanhai in the distance and said to the soldiers, "You want to go to Nanhai Town?" It's right there, about ...... away Uh, five nautical miles or six nautical miles? Of course it doesn't matter. Anyway, you only have two choices: either swim over and come back when the boat is ready; Or just shut up and stay on board! ”

"You're such an old bastard!" Seeing that Lieutenant Avery did not advance, the helpless soldiers finally left disappointed, of course, the insults and even curses behind their backs were also a reasonable reaction, anyway, Lieutenant Avery said that he didn't care about it.

Although there was no direct subordinate relationship between Lieutenant Avery and the soldiers of Lordaeron, according to Lordaeron's custom, when a native soldier encounters an officer from another country, he should be regarded as a national officer who has been demoted to the rank of a national officer, in other words, a lieutenant of the Navy of Kutilas like Avery is roughly equivalent to a second lieutenant of Lordaeron in front of the soldiers of Lordaeron - but in any case, the old captain is an officer, so for these soldiers who are not corporals, the old captain's orders are absolute and indisobedient.

When Lieutenant Avery returned to his captain's quarters, he saw that his first mate, Francis, was already waiting for him, and for the old man he had worked with for many years, Francis knew the character of the old captain very well, and as soon as he saw Lieutenant Avery he asked, "Scolded those lads from Lordaeron?" ”

"Or else? Send a boat to take them ashore? And then send them back when they've had enough of them on land? Don't forget what we're here for! Lieutenant Avery glared at his old fellow fiercely and asked dissatisfiedly.

"I'm not saying that there is a problem with your handling, it's just that you don't have to be so direct, maybe it would be better to be tactful." Francis expertly pulled out half a bottle of strong rum from the hidden closet in the captain's room, poured himself and the old captain a glass, and said.

"To put it mildly? Hmph, I didn't take it personally, and threw these young master soldiers of Lordaeron directly from my ship into the sea to let them sober up, which is already tactful enough! Don't forget that although this operation was initiated by Lordaeron, without us Kutilas, they would not have imagined a fleet that could cross the Endless Sea even if they were given twenty years to Lordaeron! Lieutenant Avery drank the strong rum from his glass in one gulp, and then exhaled a hard breath of wine, which belonged to every Kutilas, and although Lordaeron occupied a large area of land, the whole sea belonged to Kutilas!

"Do you say that what those noble lords said is true? And a continent on the other side of the sea? Francis could only shrug his shoulders as he looked at the proud old captain, and he changed the subject, in fact he had come to Lieutenant Avery to ask this.

"In fact, as far as I know, I'm afraid there is more than one continent." Lieutenant Avery said, pouring half a glass more into his glass, shaking it and sinking into deep memories.

"My cousin was an explorer, and of course you wouldn't know him, and he died when I was a child, and he once got drunk and said to me: 'The continent under our feet is actually only one-fifth of the world. In other words, where did the remaining four-fifths go? You can use your imagination for yourself. Don't always indulge in bars, have the opportunity to run around the library and you'll see different worlds. But I've always thought of what my cousin said as drunken gibberish. ”

Francis looked at Lieutenant Avery in astonishment, completely unaware that this rude and irascible old fellow could have such a knowledgeable relative.

"This must have been a great explorer, how did he die? Is it because of the shipwreck? Francis was surprised for a long time, only to notice that the old captain's big cousin had already died, and immediately asked suspiciously, in his opinion, only a catastrophe that destroys the world can be worthy of the curtain call of such an explorer with advanced vision.

"It can be regarded as a shipwreck! He seduced a noble lady, but the matter was revealed, and when he was chased and beaten, he accidentally fell into the sea and drowned, he couldn't swim! "But reality is reality because it is based on all sorts of accidents, and Lieutenant Avery makes this clear to Francis with facts.
