Chapter 7 Preparations for Departure
Although the fire from the fireplace was warm to Delmar, he couldn't sleep all night, and his brother was always in his mind all night. Before I knew it, the window began to light up, and Delmar quickly got up and opened the curtains to look out, feeling that the white fog seemed to have dissipated. He didn't want to alarm the high-rise mage and the big bag maid, so he quickly got dressed, took the saber on the table and prepared to leave quietly. When he was about to open the door. The big bag maid stood on the wooden ladder and called out to Delmar: "Delma, are you leaving so early?" ”
"Uh... You're awake, I see that the white fog has almost dispersed. I hurried back to town to gather the men who were with me, and I couldn't wait to see my brother," replied Demar.
"Oh... Okay, then you can leave quickly, and the high-rise mage will wake up in a while, maybe he will leave you to do something. ”
"Thank you, Big Bag."
"Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet again in the future." The big bag maid smiled.
"Okay, there will definitely be a chance. Next time I'll definitely bring my brother along. After saying that, Delmar turned around to leave.
Seeing this, the big bag maid hurriedly rushed downstairs and grabbed Demar. Delma turned around and hugged the big bag maid. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the two stopped talking.
"You..."
"You..."
"You speak first." Delmar broke the inexplicable embarrassment and said.
Dabao said shyly: "You must come back alive." With that, he stood on tiptoe and kissed Delmar lightly on the cheek, then lowered his head shyly.
"Uh." Delma hesitated for a moment: "Uh... Ok, I'll definitely be back. After saying that, Delmar grabbed the door and left.
Dabao leaned against the window and looked at Delmar's distant figure, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad.
Delmar ran out of the col in one go, and when she looked back, she saw that the white mist was really drifting towards the top of the mountain. At this moment, his mount let out a sharp roar from the side, as if calling out to Delmar. Thinking that time was precious, Delmar stepped onto his mount with a brisk stride and whipped away.
Delmar galloped all the way and returned to the town by noon. He went straight to the official residence of the chief cannon.
"Sir!" Delmar shouted out of breath.
The old cannon seemed a little surprised to see Delma: "Delma, are you back?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"Have you seen the tall mage?"
"See." Delmar gasped for air as she replied.
"Oh, that's good." The old cannon seemed to be calm again, and he paused: "Then when are you going to go to find Joey?" ”
"Go?" Delmar didn't expect the old cannon to know that he thought about setting off to find his brother.
"Actually, I expected that Gao Lou would ask you to find your brother, and if you can come back smoothly, he must have handed over the Discord Compass to you."
"Yes, but the compass keeps spinning, and I don't know which way to go." Delmar checked the Discord Compass several times along the way, but it never stopped turning.
"It's okay, you'll know when you go. You need to go to a few people, and we can't go far without them. "The old cannon seems to have been prepared for a long time.
"Who do you need to find someone?"
"The two twin brothers of the Sihai family have a lot of experience in going to sea, and they can help us sail better. Then go to the school field and bring the artillery head Doomsday, his skilled artillery skills can help us fend off the pirates. and brought me the storyteller in the square, he is a Bai Xiaosheng, and his information is indispensable when going to sea. For the rest, you can go to the tavern and gather some sailors who can do their best. In the two days since you left, I had already ordered the Royal Wave to be ready at the docks. ”
Demar was overjoyed, it seemed that the old artillery of the deployment officer had been prepared for a long time. But how did he know that I would be able to bring the compass back? Delmar began to mumble in his heart again.
"Okay sir, I'll do it." Delmar still agreed quickly, after all, finding his brother is his greatest wish now.
After Delmar left, the old cannon took out the logbook and looked at it, "Those who should come will always come, and those who should go will always go. ”
After leaving the official residence, Delmar went straight to Sihai's house according to the instructions of the old cannon.
"Brothers of the four seas, brothers of the four seas." Delmar shouted loudly, but no one answered. He walked into the back room and saw the two brothers lying on the ground on their backs and sleeping soundly, with various wine bottles messily placed around them. Delmar stepped forward and shook the two: "Brother Sihai, Brother Sihai." ”
The two of them had no intention of waking up at all. But Delmar's inner anxiety could not bear him any longer. He scooped a bucket of water and poured it on the faces of the two brothers from all over the world.
"Who ~~~ is who~~~"
"Ah~~~ what's going on."
The two panicked, thinking that there were pirates in their house, and shouted loudly.
"It's me, Delma. Why should you be so drunk all day long? ”
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm suffocating to death in this town all day long, can I do it without drinking." Big Brother Sihai said helplessly.
The second brother shook his head, patted the dust on his body and said, "Hey, what are you doing, is there still someone in this town who will think about our brothers?" ”
"What are you talking about, my brother Joey is gone, I need your help!"
"Huh? What the? Joey is gone? The brothers replied in unison.
"Hey, it's a long story, you guys come with me first, I need you to help me go to sea to find Joey, I'm talking to you slowly on the way."
"Out to sea?" The brothers were so excited when they heard Delmar say that they were going to sea, they didn't care what backpacks to bring, so they picked up Delmar and rushed out the door: "Our brothers are dying when they go to sea." Hurry. ”
The group of three then walked towards the square, and saw a group of people gathered around in the distance. Delmar thought it must be the storyteller: "Can you help me get the secretary in the mouth, I need his help." ”
"What's the use of looking for a storyteller? Our brother will be able to save you from killing all sides! Big Brother Sihai said disdainfully.
"Don't ask so much, just help me."
"Okay, no problem, we're covered with this little thing." Big Brother Sihai patted his chest and said.
"Well, when I'm done, help me find enough sailors in the tavern, and I think you'll be fine with that. I'll meet you at the docks. Now I'm going to find someone. ”
"The docks? Have you found a boat? "The second brother of the four seas still seems to have some doubts.
"The Royal Wave."
"Yo roar~~~~" The brothers jumped up after hearing this, "If you don't hurry up, the two of us will be able to finish our business soon." ”
"Hehe, okay, you hurry up, I'll go." With that, Delmar ran to the barracks alone.
Arriving at the barracks, Delmar searched everywhere. He grabbed one of the guards: "See the Doomsday Chief?" ”
"Report sir, I don't see it."
Delmar ran forward a little further, and saw a guard rushing towards the school yard, Delmar stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
"Oh, Chief Doom is training at the school grounds, and I have a bad stomach, so I'm late, sir, and you know how miserable the consequences of being late for Chief Doom's training session are." The guards looked helpless.
As soon as Delmar heard about the end of the school, he hurriedly went with the guards.
When I came to the school grounds, I saw Doom whipping a few guards, and his mouth was still full of words. Seeing this, Delma hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Doomsday: "Big brother, what are you doing here, you treat the guards like this, how can they be willing to die for you?" ”
Doomsday saw Dema coming, threw down the leather whip in his hand, and hugged Delma, "Brother, why are you here?" Haha, these little cubs are about to forget the military law of our Guards if they don't teach them a lesson. ”
"Okay, I don't care about you, I came to you this time to ask you for help."
"Help? Did something happen? Doom replied with doubts.
"Yes, my brother Joey is gone."
"Gone? What happened? ”
"I don't have time to say so much about you. I need you and me to go out to sea now to find my brother. ”
"Out to sea? As the artillery commander of the Guards, how could he just say go? No way! "The end seems decisive.
"Big brother, you and I are brothers, not to mention that this time the chief old cannon will also go with us."
"That's not good, if I leave, then these guards under my command won't be overturned by then." Doomsday put his head aside, and he didn't want to go to sea with Delmar at all.
Seeing that he couldn't convince the apocalypse, Delmar had no choice but to explain the cause and effect of the incident and the end one by one.
"Look, this is the Discord Compass that the tall mage gave me."
"Ah, there really is such a thing in this world." Doom seems surprised to see Discord's compass.
"Now you're willing to set off with me."
"Since the old artillery commanders are all setting off together, I think this time it must be a big event, and it must not be just your brother who is involved. Well, let's hurry and go. After saying that, Doomsday pulled the adjutant beside him and gave him an order. He turned to Delma and said, "Brother, this time we are probably going to do a big job, let's go." ”
The two of them came to the dock together, and saw the Royal Wave safely anchored on the shore. The brothers of the four seas had already come to the ship, and when they saw the two coming, they were standing by the railing of the boat and waving their hands and shouting: "Hi." Hurry up, we're all set. ”
The Royal Wave, the strongest ocean-going ship of the Guard, seems to have been hungry for a long time. Just as Delmar and Doom were walking towards the ship, the old cannon suddenly appeared in front of them. Lao Cannon stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of the two of them: "On this trip, you should not only enjoy the scenery along the way, but also remember to find what you are looking for." After speaking, the old cannon flicked his coat, "Let's go, that ghost place will be going to sooner or later." ”
Dema and Doom looked at each other, and Doom held his hands contemptuously and said, "Brother, please." ”
Delmar looked up at the mighty Guards emblem on the sail and muttered, "What should come will come." With that, he walked with resolute steps and embarked on the Royal Wave.
"Sir, we... Where are we going? The old storyteller named the secretary said tremblingly.
"You don't talk nonsense, you will talk back when you are called, now I will stay honestly and watch my brother perform." Big Brother Sihai reprimanded.
"Brothers, for the sake of our homeland, for our future, for a stable life, this trip is imperative. You are all sea eagles flying over the ocean, we are proud, we are proud, we are fearless. Come on, brothers, and set off for that damned ocean!! The old cannon shouted as the captain of the ship, boosting the morale of the crew.
"Sail!! Set sail!!! Big Brother Sihai shouted along the way.
In this way, the Royal Wave slowly sailed into the depths of the sea in the setting sun.
