Chapter 739: The Visitor
The floating passenger ship "Advance", originating in the Olansurro shipyard, is a 100-meter-long "Fortune" luxury passenger cruise ship.
There are two third-class cabins (large common cabins), 90 second-class cabins (triple rooms), 50 first-class cabins (two/triple rooms), 20 VIP rooms (10 two-person rooms and 10 single rooms), with a theoretical capacity of 500 people and an average capacity of about 340 people.
Unlike the large passenger ships with game rooms, dance halls, and swimming pools in the future, the first generation of floating boat passenger transportation technology is not mature, and most of the warehouses are constantly operating power cabins and energy pools.
Although it has been three and a half years since it was completed and put into operation, and there have been nearly 100 routes back to China, due to the careful maintenance of the crew and the financial support of the strong backstage, it looks like a new ship.
Captain Knott has always been proud to be the master of the ship, even privately calling the ship his "most beloved little daughter".
But now, I'm afraid that even his daughter and his father can't recognize this.
The smooth dusky yellow deck was full of cracks, and the four floating engines, one of which came to a complete halt in black smoke, and the result was that the ship often tilted, and the pilot did not dare to relax.
The sail that harnessed the wind was discarded after being burned in half, but it was not alone on the empty flagpole, because it had been broken, along with the total destruction, and the VIP cabin on the top deck.
Thankfully, when the shockwave arrived, everyone took refuge in the large cabin, so that the valuable guests were not surprised. Now I can afford to buy that "wronged" version of the VIP ticket. There are only royal families, big nobles, big businessmen. Dozens of words at a time, I'm afraid the ship owner can't afford it.
The VIPs were very reasonable, but now the cabins of the first captain, boatswain, first mate and other senior crew members have been given up for the use of these frightened guests.
The most luxuriously decorated and equipped Captain's Room? It has been occupied by the "guest" who concealed his identity on the ship, and the captain took the initiative to let it.
Captain Knott had twenty years of experience as a smuggling ship, but he volunteered to join the Orlan Navy during the Great War with the Sea Clan. The pilots armed cargo ships attacked the supply lines of the Sea Clan, and fought sporadically for three and a half years, although the results were not amazing, but they were also qualified soldiers.
And with the fall of the Storm Lady, after the war became clear that the entire Orlan country was retracting the war, he also chose to retire, and later the Orlan official thought of his past background and recommended him to become the captain of this trial operation warship, at least in the past few years, he has indeed done a good job.
As a former Orlan soldier. How could he not know about Roland.
Without reinforcements from the Lan League, I'm afraid that the capital of Orlan will still be an ocean. And the name Roland, and the fall of the Storm Lady is directly related, his disciples, subordinates are involved in the recovery of the entire national capital, in that difficult battle, the gray elf anti-knight is a strong force comparable to the battleship group, and the addition of all kinds of new combat equipment, strengthen the alliance between Orlan and the Lan Alliance.
Not to mention the reality of the Orlans, the exchanges between countries have always been like this, weak countries have no diplomacy, and strong countries do nothing and people will follow, which is nothing new.
Therefore, when the captain recognized Roland for the first time, he did not hesitate to protect him.
Yes, protection, burned all over the body, according to common sense, it seems that it is possible to die violently at any time, and it is strange that those who have the intention to encounter such a good opportunity are not ready to move.
This is not unfounded, the ship sailed from the Winston territory of San Antonio, where Roland was the most wanted murderer of Queen Maria.
If there are any patriots of Santa Anrio on board, and they will do whatever it takes to avenge the Queen, this is the best chance.
Unfortunately, Roland's fall on the deck was seen by the passengers, and the news of the serious injury naturally leaked, and it was too late for Knott to block the news.
In the end, he could only make some precautionary arrangements.
Not to mention, these arrangements were really not in vain, he really didn't guess wrong, the Thunder Shadow Master, who was asked to guard, caught two hot-blooded young men with poisonous daggers that night.......
But soon, the captain found that he was thinking too much, and only a few hours later, His Highness Roland, who had regained consciousness, quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then clamored to recuperate and be bored, and wanted to have some fun to pass the time.
In desperation, Noether sent his first mate and several strong guards to play cards with the big guy to pass the time.
It turned out that in less than two hours, they were all out.
Cause? The injured strongest paladin actually won everyone's purse in just half an hour, and his amazing gambling skills ....... thousands of skills, making people doubt that he was really a paladin with abstinence and strict self-discipline.
Finally, he said that Captain Knott had no position as a protector either.
"There's no need to protect me, even if I'm injured and can threaten my existence now, you can ignore you."
Although it was a little discouraged, Knott breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, if this person died on the ship because of his own responsibility, no one could afford this responsibility.
Thankfully, the second half of the night was peaceful, and with the dawn of the next day, Paladin Roland's injuries had disappeared without a trace, and he even gambled directly with the general customers in the restaurant.........
Although I heard that the bigwigs have a lot of quirks, such as a certain Lanmeng bigwig, who is obviously a woman, but married several princesses and opened a harem, a certain dragon vein emperor in another country, once there is too much pressure, he will talk to himself to the stone statue, and even his own queen is said to be tired of men's clothes and the emperor has a woman's dress.........
Of course, such news is a rumor with no truth at all, and I laughed at it when I heard it in the past, and I wouldn't take it seriously.
Sometimes the journey is long, the gossip is as great as the male sailor, and the rumors of the bigwigs are their favorite to talk about, after all, the best way to increase the friendship of colleagues is probably to say bad things about the boss.
But now it seems that such nonsense is not groundless, at least this highness from the north, as rumored, is definitely not an orthodox paladin with good rules.
It is rumored that he is erudite and talented, but he has never used the right path, and more than thirty percent of the gambling industry and **** publications in the entire north are in his hands, and the legendary version of the super mercenary group is the absolute gentleman's alliance that he controls the entire north.
The arms business, mercenary trade, elves and orcs human trafficking, these things that ordinary people dare not imagine, but he has mastered them.
The Throne of the Shadows, the Uncrowned King, the Northland's Least Offending Man, the Last Knight of the Northland, and the King of the Underworld, he has a series of unofficial legendary titles.
There is a saying that in the north, you can offend any king of the Lan League, but you must not say a bad word about Roland, otherwise, no matter where you come from, you will not be able to return alive.
"I really can't see that it will be such a great character, the bastard **** can gamble money, and the paladin who is obviously gambling money is still out of the thousands, I can't imagine it....... but no one has ever questioned his character."
However, compared to the series of legendary titles of the human saint and the strongest villain, His Royal Highness Roland in front of him seems to be very easy to deal with.
Whether as a former warship captain in Orlan or a smuggler who travels north and south, Noether can be said to be well-informed.
In this line of work, it can be said that the most important thing is to know people and see people, and Noether has read countless people, but Roland has never seen such a thing.
It's not that he hasn't seen demigods and epic powerhouses, in his eyes, no matter which camp the immortals have one characteristic, that is, they don't treat ordinary people as human beings, and they occasionally meet a few people who care about their reputation and say good things in their mouths, but they always maintain a certain distance.
It's very simple, when you eat, you have to send it into the house, when you take a bath, you have to have independent time and space, and you can say it casually, even just the spices in the food, you can make the people below run and break their legs, and it is taken for granted that it should be.
And if you have a noble status or a brilliant bloodline, it is even more terrible, even if you look at you, even if it gives you face, no matter how nice it is, if you prepare him with thick noodles and black bread for lunch, he will immediately turn his face.
Like Roland, who is obviously a top boss, but he is a mess with ordinary people....... no, he really regards himself as a member of ordinary people, eating black bread and drinking sour ale and gambling with drunkards to wrestle his wrists, and he will repay his debts if he loses, and he enjoys such a life happily, and even pretends to be drunk and cheats drunkards out of money, he has never seen it.
"Heh, at least it looks much more comfortable than those big men."
The cold wind was blowing, the new dawn was slowly rising in the east, and the time before the sun rose, the night wind was the most hurtful, and Nott carefully cocked the collar of his coat to make himself more comfortable.
He let go of a lot of things, all of which were hearsay, and it didn't have much to do with him, no matter what his senses were for Roland, it would not affect his ability to complete the task, what he had to do was to fulfill the duty of a former soldier and deliver the most important guests to their destinations.
After this section of the snow-capped mountain range, you can see the extension of Baier, and there is a cycle of dragon knights from Baier, at least there is no need to worry about safety.
Suddenly, he found himself on the deck, a familiar figure appeared.
"Your Highness Roland? What are you doing when you get up so early, your injuries are not healed, you need to rest more, not that you are .......... in the cabin"
The man just glanced at it, and the rest of Noether's words were all speechless, similar faces, the same smiles, but the feelings contained in them were completely different.
Roland's smile is expressing his kindness and happiness, and he is communicating his emotions to others, and although the person in front of him is also laughing, he is enjoying his own pleasure from the bottom of his heart, there is no other person in his eyes, and the words he says are only orders that will inevitably be fulfilled.
"Yo, I heard that my brother is here, let me say hello and lead the way." (To be continued.) )
