As part of the itinerary, the Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion will be anchored in Walkerson City for three days. After unloading the cargo to replenish fresh water and giving the seafarers a short rest, they will head back south. The reason why they didn't stay here too much, in addition to worrying about what accidents would happen to the long night, and more importantly, consuming the limited resources of Walkerson City here obviously violated the original purpose of their operation this time.

Players who had been given the exact departure time were able to settle the tail of the hand in Walkerson and board the well-armed merchant ship. However, as soon as she stepped onto the deck of the 'Lady of Passion', Claudia couldn't help but frown slightly. At the same time, the normal opening and closing of the nose began to slow down—it was clear that the heavy smell of the boat was making her feel a little uncomfortable.

The short berth time did not only allow the seafarers to get a minimum rest. It also makes a lot of the preparation work that needs to be carried out before leaving the port to be compressed and omitted to a large extent. Only the repair and replenishment of the hull, which is related to the safety of navigation, has been strictly implemented, and the systematic cleaning and sulfur fumigation have been abandoned. Therefore, the strong smell accumulated from a long period of sea voyage is naturally not completely blown away by a mere sea breeze.

"I hope the smell in the cabin doesn't smell so heavy!" And Lalu, who has a keen sense of smell, also issued such a prayer at this time.

Unfortunately, Clematis immediately shattered the cat's dream, only to see her bend down and press Lalu's shoulder and whisper in her ear, "Lulu, you think too much!" The smell came from the cabin! Even the smell on the empty and windy deck is so strong, you can imagine what it looks like under the deck. ”

Hearing this, the cat boy couldn't help but shudder, and even his ears were pricked up. Seeing this scene, Rielly patted her friend angrily: "Don't bully our family Lulu like this." ”

"How can this be called bullying?" Straightening up, Clematis said with a smirk, "I'm just telling him the cruelty of reality." ”

"That's it! You guys don't make a fuss now. Barrett handed over a small porcelain vase: "Use this thing to suppress the smell first, and when the effect of the medicine dissipates, we will naturally get used to the unique smell of this ship." ”

The cat boy jumped up and snatched the porcelain bottle from Barrett's palm, and then scraped a thin layer from it and smeared it on his nose. The immediate chilling sensation immediately alleviated the impact of the smell on the sense of smell. Tasting the benefits, Lalu then handed the thing to the one in his house.

Relative to the impatient style of the cat. Riel Rico is much more reserved. But in the face of the stench coming in, she still took the porcelain bottle handed by Lalu. When he was done, he handed the plaster to his next companion.

After all the members of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' had temporarily solved the problem of smell, Clematis asked with a little curiosity, "Barrett, when did you prepare this thing?" It's not easy to find this type of medicine in Walkerson City now! ”

Although it can be regarded as a medicine, in the Western Continent, this kind of plaster is often classified as a luxury such as incense. Quite because it's just a general herbalistic achievement. So even if some spices are not cheap, the price of this luxury is much lower than that of their potion counterparts.

However, you get what you pay for, and the effect of this plaster is naturally not as good as that of their potion counterparts. The most important thing is that there is a big gap in duration. But it's more than enough to repel the stench on board. After all, the smell here is nowhere near as good as the stinky cloud formed by spells, and players will get used to the environment little by little over time - just like staying in the toilet for a long time and not feeling the smell. The effect of the plaster is to make the user more comfortable during the adaptation period.

Of course, since it is a luxury, it is often difficult to find a market for such things in war. By the time the initial inventory was cleared, it would be difficult to find anything like it in Walkerson. Even if there are still some fish that slip through the net, they are not something that can be bought casually. That's why Klematis has some questions about where Barrett got this.

"Do you think that all those parishioners in Winterspring can tolerate the smell of smuggling boats?" Barrett said with a little smugness. Smuggling boats, because most of the time they are sneaky operations. It is difficult to have enough ports to berth in between. So most of them don't smell like the 'Lady of Passion'. And the members of the Temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in Winterspring Town sometimes have to board the ship to negotiate with the cargo owner, so such items have become their necessary consumables.

Clematis looked Barrett up and down suspiciously: "You won't be able to take the sheep at that time!" ”

"Do you think I'm like that?" Barrett turned his head in feigned anger, "This is a gift from Pastor Gatsby before leaving, okay?" ”

"He also gave this gift? No matter how stingy my parishioners are, they are not so stingy! Klaimatis was clearly a little unconvinced.

Barrett smiled bitterly, "But who let him not be able to take over the temple in Wintersprings!" With emotions in my heart, it is inevitable that I will be more stingy than usual. ”

"But I always think Barrett has something else hidden. That guy gave more than one gift! Clematis was still reluctant to let Barrett go. This was not so much a dissatisfaction with Barrett's concealment as it was a curiosity to get to the bottom of it.

Look at Clematis's look of interest. Barrett smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, it's really not!" Again, this is not a reward. It's just a farewell gift before leaving. With the habits of your Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church, it is rare to have it. What more good things you want! ”

Clematis seemed to want to refute it, but when she thought back to what she had seen and heard in the church, she found that she really couldn't find a place to refute Barrett. At this moment, Captain Jody Lamond's voice broke the embarrassment between the two: "It's about to set sail, are you going to stay in the cabin, or stay on the deck and see the sea." ”

Generally speaking, most ships are at the time of sailing. will drive irrelevant passengers down the deck. Because this is the busiest time for sailors on board, having more people on deck can lead to bumps and affect efficiency. But in the eyes of Captain Jody Lamond. Barrett and his party are their own people. So if they want to stay on deck, they can still satisfy that desire.

"I don't think we'd better disturb the sailors on the main deck." Turning his head to look at the busy seafarers, Barrett tried to ask, "But Mr. Lamond." The aft deck should still be open to us! ”

"Aft deck?" Captain Jody Lamond immediately smiled, "Come up with me!" It's a higher view there, and you're really picky. ”

Follow the wooden staircase between the stern and the main deck. The players soon found themselves in a relatively high area on the three-masted schooner. Seeing the helmsman behind him carefully controlling the rudder, Barrett smiled and turned his gaze back to Captain Jody Lamond: "Mr. Lamond, are there any other passengers besides us this time?" ”

Captain Jody Lamond, who heard this, did not hide anything: "This time we took three families, as well as a young couple. ”

The fighting in Walkerson City doesn't know when it will stop. The thirst for life has prompted some to flee the threat of war. Among them, there are rich people who have a good net worth and can afford a new life in a distant country. There are also middle-class people who have modest savings and have friends and relatives in distant places to turn to. Although the latter is not too large compared to those who remain in the tavern, it is not a small base accumulation. Naturally, that amount is indispensable.

"Three families with children?" Barrett couldn't help but frown at this.

"Yes! Now there are a total of 5 noisy little ones on board. But here, I think their parents will be optimistic about them. Captain Jody Lamond smiled, as if he thought the little ones could add some fun to the boredom of life at sea.

"I hope it's not a bear child." Barrett said that, but he was actually more worried about whether the children would survive the bumpy sea journey. After all, with the current state of technology, such a trip is no less than a ghost gate for young children.

However, since Captain Jody Lamond dared to take them, he naturally had a certain degree of certainty. If the question is so straightforward at this time, is that the step to fall on Captain Jody Lamond's face? This kind of nasty behavior. Barrett wasn't stupid. However, in terms of expression, he didn't specifically hide it. In front of such a human spirit. Trying to cover it up is easy to cause them to resent. Making them feel respected, but not deliberately pretentious, is often the best option.

Although it was not clear whether Captain Jody Lamond had read Barrett's thoughts, he still followed Barrett's words and said, "Don't worry! I've been specifically instructed to do this kind of thing. Besides, children and parents who have experience naturally know how to cope. As for those who have never been to sea, I don't think they have the strength to make a fuss when they wait. ”

"That's just as well!" Barrett immediately answered the call to prevent the cold scene.

At this time, Clematis suddenly asked: "Mr. Lamond, are the two 'wounded ships' you brought before really not going to be brought back to Boreham?" ”

It's different from when you came. The Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion were both lightly traveled. The two trophies brought before, this cup was left directly on the dock in Walkerson City.

"Although the price of on-site processing is a little cheaper, we can't afford to worry about the difference now!" Despite saying this, Captain Jody Lamond's expression still gave people a feeling of flesh pain.

Large galleys are not good for ocean shipping, so they are mostly purchased by offshore fleets or pirates. The demand is small. Naturally, the price has been affected. The only buyer in Walkerson City was the Walkerson City Hall. In a buyer's market like this, do you think it will be able to sell for any high price?

What's more, Walkerson is also short of funds now, as if they want to make a high offer for the sake of the alliance, but they really can't come up with a lot of gold coins. In addition, the two large galleys were also badly damaged and had to be overhauled in the dockyard before they could be put back into service. So the price at the time of the shot was indeed a punch in the face of Captain Jody Lamond's purchasing representative.

However, if the two large galleys were towed back to Boreham and sold slowly, they would have been able to make a lot more profit. However, the Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion were not able to do so, as carrying such a burden would seriously slow down their return journey. And if the speed is slow, it will naturally become the target of those pirates and some people with intentions.

Or, with well-trained seamen and equipment, Captain Danny Evans, Officer Neam Reeds, and Captain Jody Lamond may not be worried about their own safety. But if the other party wants to seize the large galleys towed behind, it is really not very difficult. In order to avoid the bamboo basket being empty at that time, the three of them could only reluctantly sell the expensive loot at a low price.

Seeing the change in Captain Jody Rammond's expression, Barrett realized that Clematis was probably rubbing salt on the other party's wounds. At this time, he had to change the subject in a hurry: "Mr. Lamond, since you got such a trophy when you came. I don't know if I can make some gains on the way back. ”

"I can't really say. After all, it's not entirely up to us. What is more important is whether there are any attackers who dare to appear in front of us. Speaking of this, Captain Jody Rammond swept his previous expression and showed a smug smile: "When we went north before, we fought all the way. Don't look at the last two pirate ships that were captured, but we fought back more than that. If they are beaten, we won't see anyone when we go south. Not to mention the gains. ”

"But it's a good thing that you've had a safe journey!" (To be continued.) )
