Chapter 058. Delicious vegetable soup
The pouring rain seemed to have toppled the sea, crackling on the hull of the ship, as if countless unjust souls of the sea were unleashing their anger in this storm. The pitch-black sky www.biquge.info inky sky was still condensed with layers of dark clouds, even if the wind howled and blew, it could not shake half a minute, but it caused the sea to be turbulent and violently undulating, setting off waves several meters high, as if to tear apart any ship that dared to sail in this weather.
This is the most common storm in the North Tsunami Sea, and it is also the most dangerous stormy night. Even sturdy and large ocean-going merchant ships will take the initiative to stop in the harbor docks protected by breakwaters to reduce the constant invasion of ships by waves and strong winds. And when there is no port to stop at sea, experienced captains of ocean-going merchant ships will not allow their ships to enter the stormy terrain, even if they ask the crew to detour on other routes and sea routes.
Of course, this was the main reason why the Gray Mist Governor's Guard dared to let Levi return to the ship. In this almost invisible storm, it was extremely difficult to walk on land, let alone on the more terrifying ocean. Even if Levi and the others forced their ship to leave the docks and head towards the ocean, then even if it was the best thing they could do, they would have been washed back to the beach by the raging tide, and they would have returned to Grey Mist or Baal for help, and finally they would have been taken away by the Governor's Guard who had received the news.
The Dvo merchant ships and the heavy Galie warships are both offshore ships, and such a violent storm cannot sail at all, and if a wind and waves come and happen to encounter the wolf-toothed jagged reefs around the Silver Coast, then this fragile plank cannot stop the hard stones, and it is estimated that they will be torn into pieces directly by the dark tide and the reef, and the sailors on the ship are estimated to be all the rations of the sea fish in the end.
Levi understood this, and they braved the heavy rain to return to the docks along the rugged muddy road, and the continuous lightning slashed down, and with the roar of the surrounding land, they also lit up the surrounding land. After blinking his eyes a few times, Levi looked at the dark patch of the harbor in front of him, and more than a dozen torches had appeared in the bow and stern of the ship, revealing the general outlines of the two ships and giving Levi guidance in their direction.
"Hall, take your Spanish sailors back to the Gallet warship."
Wiping the rain from his face, Levi felt that his whole body was already soaked, and the pouring rain seemed to take away the heat and physical strength in his body, and he gasped deeply, but the exhaustion in his chest was a little stronger. But he still boured his spirits, waved his hand and commanded Captain Hall who was walking briskly behind him: "You hurry up and order, and when you return to the ship, you must give our sailors bread and hot soup at once!" After a pause, he also frowned and admonished: "It's okay to drink, but drink less." ”
"Got it!" Captain Hall walked quickly to Levi's side, and in the pouring rain he was close enough to hear Levi's orders, but he nodded firmly, and continued to walk backwards in the pouring rain. The whole force had naturally divided into two groups, and the Spanish sailors were moving quickly towards their heavy Canadian warship, which was an orderly movement and arrangement.
"Hand on, be careful!"
The sailors who had been on standby on the ship had already put on their cloaks, and quickly combined forces to lower the thick planks used for the upper and lower decks and set them on the dock. Despite the fierce storm, the excellent cooperation and excellent tacit understanding also made them cooperate with each other very well, and in less than ten minutes, the sailors who followed Li Wei to fight in the middle of the night also quickly returned to the cabin, and finally temporarily left the invasion of the pouring rain.
The clean clothes had also been taken out of the closet, and Levi and the sailors took off their wet clothes without hesitation, quickly wiped their already cold bodies with linen towels, and then changed into dry and comfortable clothes. They were all a group of men, and there were not many taboos and shyness, and many sailors were laughing and talking about the previous battles, and they were very proud to show off their bravery to the sailors stationed there.
The Ottoman sailors were all dispatched, and the dozen or so Spanish sailors who stayed on the Devo merchant ship were still quite conscientious, but fortunately, the beliefs of both sides were diluted in the game, otherwise in the reality of the previous life, the two sides would have already begun to cut each other with knives. But now that they were talking about the previous battle and packing up the old wet clothes, the relationship between the two sides was very apt, even friendly.
"The hot soup is here, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and come over with a wooden bowl!"
At the entrance of the galley of the cabin, two sailors also vigorously carried a large wooden barrel, and the steaming moment filled with an enticing fragrance. This is a hot soup that has just been made, stir-fried with chopped vegetables and mutton fat and then poured in hot water, sprinkled with a handful of salt and a small half-barrel of rum, with a Spanish-style Mediterranean vegetable soup. At the same time, the black bread that had been cut a finger wide was also served on the plate, and the same salted meat was served, and the whole cabin was filled with the sound of the sailors subconsciously swallowing their saliva, after all, they were really hungry.
Although it is quite light, Levi and these sailors can really get drenched in the storm for nearly an hour, and in the dark night and the storm, they can return to the dock ship one by one, which has also shown the excellent quality of the army. But this does not mean that they do not consume a lot of physical strength and calories, and now is the time to urgently need to replenish, otherwise the next day they will have a runny nose and cough, but it is quite uncomfortable!
"Don't worry, warm up with a bowl of vegetable soup first."
First Officer Green also walked over with a bowl of vegetable soup in each hand, and a small amount of soaked black bread and minced bacon floated in it. Seeing that Li Wei was standing by the stairs at the entrance of the cabin, he couldn't help but walk over and hand him a bowl of vegetable soup in his hand, slowly took a sip of the salty and fragrant soup, his face was obviously a little lighter, and comforted Li Wei: "Someone has been arranged to be on duty, besides, what will happen to such a heavy rain?" ”
"It's not us." Levi took the vegetable soup handed over by First Officer Green, and the warmth on the wooden bowl also brought him back to his senses, but his eyes also looked into the distance through the small window that was specially opened. In the darkness of the pouring rain, countless stars were dotted on the hills in the distance, and he knew that it was the lights of Baal Town, but he still frowned, and slowly said, "I'm still worried about Baal Town and Gray Mist City. ”
"Maybe it's too much."
Listening to Levi's words, First Officer Green also subconsciously put down the wooden bowl beside his mouth. Of course he understood what his captain meant, because what had happened tonight had almost upended the rhythm of their lives for two years. Although they have fought in the past because of pirates or aliens, they have never really killed as much as they did tonight. Even the calm and meticulous First Officer Green has already sensed that they are really caught in some kind of big net before they know it.
This is also what Levi is most worried about, the last time he returned to Grey Mist City from the Silver Coast, it all seemed to have changed. The thieves of the Ketuv River have broken through the outer harbor of the Grey Mist, the rumored terrifying magic, the high-ranking knights with a vindictive spirit, the open and secret battles between the nobles of the inner city, and even the real magicians, the cult of the drowning gods. What this feeling brought to Li Wei was like a big net that trapped him, a bird who didn't know anything, in it.
"Okay, let's wait for tomorrow."
Levi shook his head slowly, with a smile on his face, raised the wooden bowl in his hand and saluted the window outside, as if to vent his anxiety about the unknown in his heart. Anyway, he still harvested a lot of things tonight, especially the mysterious wooden plate and more than seven hundred small silver coins, which can be said to be a good harvest. After the big deal is enough, he can exchange it for a ship that can travel on the ocean in the system, this world is so big, he can go and see it at any time.
