Chapter 186: Tangled Cubs
"Yes and what? I don't take advantage of such good conditions, and I don't have masochism. Clematis said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, Barrett shook his head slightly: "Miss, you should know that there is no free lunch in the world." Don't look at it now, it's a temporary earning, sooner or later you have to spit it all out. I was branded as the Boreham family from the beginning, not to mention this character, and the next generation will not be able to get rid of it. Rielly and Lalu are now on the periphery, and it's not so easy to change positions. But you and Claudia are different, as long as you keep your distance, you should be able to have other directions. That would be good for you and the team. As for the anvil, he walked the line of the dwarven clan. It's completely parallel to ours. β
"More options? Personally, I don't have to think about it. There will always be clergy in the church who are better than the Boreham family, and I may have an innate advantage in this regard when I compete for certain positions in the future! Kleimatis said as she brushed the ends of her hair with her fingers, obviously having been in the game for a few days, she already had some plans for the future.
βokοΌ You don't have to worry about it yourself, but Claudia should have something else in mind! As she said this, Barrett then turned his gaze to another woman.
Claudia, who was under Barrett's gaze, only laughed dryly twice at this time: "I don't have as much idea as Clematis!" Now it's all about going with the flow, and wherever you go......"
Barrett, who found that he had nothing to say, could only sigh deeply in the end: "Then it's up to you." However, I can't guarantee that the Boreham Comptoir will be able to depart with a caravan bound for the Cruze Kingdom. Not to mention whether the destination of that caravan will coincide with the location of the noodles. β
"If we can walk from Repulse City, won't there be a lot of journeys that we need to go on alone? It doesn't really make a difference! As she spoke, Clematis pouted. In that case, why can't Claudia not go back to that sad place! β
"Still sad? Just her heartless performance? Barrett was stunned for a moment, then could only shake his head helplessly, "Forget it! So be it! But if you regret it when the time comes, you can't buy it. β
"Do you need to worry about that? When did the two of us regret it? Clematis said and pulled Claudia over. Obviously, it means that the two are on the same front.
After a little negotiation on the itinerary after arriving in Hong Kong, the players spent the rest of their days with the exception of Klaimatis, who was still trying to take care of the children. The rest of them are almost idle with nothing to do. After all, the players can't get involved in the daily operations on this ship. Fortunately, Barrett and Rielly, who had previous experience, carried chess and card toys with them, so that everyone could only bask in the sun on the deck.
However, Clematis, who was too busy to get to the ground, finally returned to the cabin and saw his companion playing cards with a barrel. The psychological gap in this contrast immediately made her mad: "Dia, come with me immediately!" β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and picked up the real master who was smiling at the hand - the skillful action and the crispness of the shot, giving people the feeling of an experienced professional chicken farmer catching chickens.
"Wow! Ties, are you catching a strong man? After putting down the cards in her hand, Rielly teased her friend in front of her.
Looking at Rielly's smirked smile and listening to her strange words, Clematis immediately burst into anger: "If it weren't for your medical skills." Lady, I'll catch your strong man this time......"
As she spoke, the pair of rudimentary peaks of Klaimatis rose and fell with her heavy breathing. The sweat on the tip of his nose was pouring out through his pores - it was clear that taking care of the underage children during this time had made the pastor very tired and mentally stressed.
In fact, it didn't take much effort for Clematis to take care of those children. After all, as the Lady of Passion grows more and more at sea, the children will gradually begin to get used to the environment β not so much that the symptoms of the excesses will disappear completely, but they will be somewhat lessened. In this way, the difficulty of taking care will be greatly reduced, and the workload will be reduced a lot.
But the bad is worse than the recent attack by the Mammoth Dynasty and the Council of Nobles. At the time of the attack on the ship. The placement of women and children in the safety hole behind the cargo hold (also known as the 'ladies' room') is a common rule on most regular vessels. But the small compartment above the keel below deck was safe. But the environment is really not good.
Naturally, the cabin below the waterline was not able to open the windows, and the three-masted galleon itself did not have an air circulation system - the ventilation pattern that guided the natural wind with the help of structural design was destined not to affect the cabin below the waterline. Fortunately, it was mostly used to hoard goods and supplies, and there were no seafarers and passengers living for long periods of time. Otherwise, someone will definitely get sick on a trip to the ocean.
Even adults can get sick after staying for a long time, and ordinary children can choke even if they stay for a while. This, combined with the water seepage problem that is inevitable on all sailboats, makes the air here humid and humid. There is also shallow standing water β this is why the chain spring pumps of sailboats pump water from time to time. Although it is impossible to sink a ship with such a large amount of seepage, if left unattended for a long time, a lot of supplies and cargo will be reimbursed due to stagnant water.
The last point was that because of the light control on the boat, the light in the safety hole was extremely poorβthe one that couldn't see the five fingers.
Murky air, foul water, and the fear of darkness, combined with the swaying of the ship's hull and fears for its own safety. It all adds up. Not to mention the children, along with the lady who took care of them in the safety hole, many of them also fell ill after they came out.
Since then, the children's ocean-going reactions have become more intense than before. In response to such changes, the ship's medical officer and Kleimatis, after treating the sailors wounded in battle, arguably devoted most of their remaining energy to this aspect. If it weren't for the older women. If you resist with your own good resistance, the two specialized medical staff may really be too busy.
Of course, from another point of view, the magic of the three rings, 'removing diseases', can definitely solve all the problems at hand. If it had been a priest from another god's house, they would have already freed those children from misery. Even if the number of magic spells that can be used every day is a little, it is completely enough to make up the weight by now after the attack.
But who made Clematis the shaman of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business'! Non-theosophy-type unpaid services may have an impact on her future development. If he used divine healing without giving money, Klymatis would definitely become a former priest. You can't apply for the Atonement Mission.
And the families in front of them are obviously not as generous as Captain Jody Lamond shows. For a 'removal disease' that starts at least 150 gold coins, even if it is used on your wife and children, it will still make people feel painful! So unless it's a critical juncture where they don't have to, they'd rather choose these conservative treatment options that will make the patient suffer a lot.
Some people may think that they are cruel, selfish, and irresponsible. But such a choice is the norm among the aborigines of the Western Continent. Because the premature mortality rate of children's growth is not low, those parents actually had corresponding mental preparations before this trip to sea. And families like them who have left their hometowns, even if they have relatives who can defect, must leave some gold coins for emergency relief. In addition, most of the people who have delayed until now are only well-off families, and after confirming that his wife's condition is not life-threatening, he will naturally make a rational choice in cold blood.
As a modern person though. Naturally, Klaimatis didn't want to see the children die in front of him, even if they were merely virtual images of data. So under the pressure of the stick of atonement, she can only rely on her medical skills, and she is busy all day long.
Looking at Claudia, who was dragged away by Kleimatis, Rielly, who felt bored, stretched: "No matter what, we are still not used to life in this world!" β
"If it's uncomfortable to see, why don't you help Rieli! I've heard Barrett say before that there are also spells that can be used for healing in the arcane spell school! "The anvil that also gave up the card because it couldn't continue. Touching his beard, he asked as he stared at Rielly.
"You think I like to watch those little hairy heads suffer! Didn't you see Lalou and Barrett hid on deck to get some air? Rielly's face turned ugly when she said this, "Didn't I never learn that type of spell?" Besides, arcane is much less effective in healing than divine art. I want to achieve a similar effect to 'removing disease'. With my current strength, I'm still far behind! β
Fortunately, although the days are difficult, it is not impossible to continue. Thanks to the hard work of Clematis and Claudia, the children, whose faces were so sallow that they were about to turn green, finally wandered around the Ghost Gate but did not set foot in it. Finally, after a long voyage at sea, the lookout of the Lady of Passion finally came across the towering lighthouse of Morbihan.
Different from the entry inspection in other places, this time there are two bodyguards of the 'Silver Sword Brave' and the 'Order Blade' to protect the Dharma. It can be said that it docked unhindered at the wooden pier of Morbihan Harbor. Then, before the cargo could be loaded and unloaded, the passengers with their families and mouths left the ship with their sick children behind their backs - after all, these little ones were suffering from ocean-going diseases, and the risk of death was much lower as long as they were on land, and the difficulty of curing them would be greatly reduced.
Of course, before leaving, each of them gave Clematis about 20 gold coins. As a reward for taking care of the sick during this time. In terms of group rates, this kind of pay is not high, but it is enough for Clematis to cope with the ordinances of the church. Clematis, who weighed the money bag in his hand, can be said to be deeply relieved: "It seems that the church can explain the past." β
"I didn't expect them to pay!" Claudia, who was standing beside the priest, touched her chin and said, "With the pained expressions of those men, I have long suspected that they are trying to take the fruits of our labor for nothing. β
"Haven't you heard the language that is widely spread in the Western Continent? No one owes money to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Because the money owed to others may only be money, and the money owed to them is completely fatal! Barrett, who said this with a wicked smile, couldn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows and joke: "Maybe even if you die, you will have to work to pay off your debts." β
Hearing this, Clematis was naturally unhappy: "Don't think of our church as the same as a necromancer, how can there be a part-time job to pay off debts even if you die." β
"I can't say for sure. But even if it's a joke, it's enough to show that the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church has a good way of dealing with old people who don't pay their debts. Rielly, who stepped out of the cabin from behind, added.
The Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', which takes both black and white and only looks at money, has a lot of means to deal with those old people who don't pay their debts. In addition, they are the largest financial institution in the Western Continent, and the resources they can use are extremely huge. Like these well-off families who have gone away, most of them are either looking for a place to work or start a small business. With the power of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church in the local industry and commerce, as long as they don't pay back, it will not be easy for them to find a way to make money for several months.
It is precisely because there are many examples of predecessors that warn and remind those aborigines. That's why these families would immediately pay cash to put an end to their employment with Clematis before they left. In order not to take advantage of a small advantage, and bring too much trouble to yourself in the next life.
"It's finally on land! The boat sits on my bones. The anvil that came out at the end of the day moved its neck and complained.
Then Barrett turned around: "Alright! When you get home, it's like taking a 3-day break. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I went to contact and see the channel to the south. And Anvil you go offline and ask the noodle boy to see which city in the Cruze Kingdom he is. (To be continued.) )
PS: The modification is complete. Thank you for the big commuter pass of "Prophet Chariot". At the same time, I would like to thank the two "Summoner Skeletons" and "Altar Fat Biao" for their great rewards.
