Curse of the Stars

Part 5 We'll see you in the future

"I don't expect to see you again in the future, because in the future, my name may not be left behind...... However, I am willing to fight for this future, even if it costs my life. ”

1 Gentleman

The sun rises in the east, illuminating the sea sparklingly, and the calm waters continue to accumulate strength, pushing the small ships in the direction of the blue sea area. The ship is indeed "small" compared to the ocean, but it is also a rare big ship at present, and it is quite comfortable to sit on, and the speed is good.

The wind was blowing, and the captain ordered the sailors to spread all their sails and go at full speed, causing a stir on the deck. Out of the cabin came a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dignified in appearance, richly dressed, his eyes as bright as the stars, full of youthful innocence, but with a trace of his age's rare ability, his eyebrows were as muddy as paint, giving people a sense of shrewdness and sophistication.

The young man saw the busy appearance of the sailors, looked at the clear sky again, smiled happily, and shouted: "Captain, while the weather is good, let's speed up!" ”

"Prince, what are you anxious about? It's not about going to a woman! The captain joked, which made the sailors laugh too, but the boy did not care about this, and ran straight to the mast, and climbed to it nimbly. The sailors around did not remind him to pay attention to safety, apparently he was already skilled. The boy raised his eyes and saw the same sea horizon all around, no islands or land, not even a single boat.

"Really, it's not there yet!" Seeing no land, the young man couldn't help but complain, "It's been almost a month, when will it be the head!" ”

"It's almost there, Prince." The captain comforted, "Come down first, don't always look at it, the land will not come up by itself." The sailors laughed again. The boy had to go back to the deck first, and soon became excited again and said, "But looking at the weather, it should be able to speed us up!" ”

"Yes," said the captain with a smile, "it won't blow us back any more." ”

"Hey! Prince," said one of the sailors as he passed by the boy, "you learn from your brother, and see how calm he is, and it's useless for you to be in such a hurry, hahahaha......" The sailor laughed and ran away.

"My brother is not called calm, he is so drunk that he can't get up at all!" The boy retorted, causing the sailors to laugh again.

"Ahem...... Cough ......" came from the other side of the deck, and the boy's brother came out of the cabin, he was also dressed in gorgeous and beautiful clothes, and was taller than the boy, but his mental state was not very good—godless eyes, drooping thin willow eyebrows, and a mantle...... Apparently not recovering from the drunken state.

"What day is it?" The elder brother asked loudly, and the smell of alcohol seemed to flood the deck.

"May 2nd, Prince." One of the sailors replied that his brother was called "prince" as he had called his boy.

"What year?" The elder brother asked loudly again, his tone full of resentment.

"Uh...... 1219, Prince. The sailor replied again, looking a little timid.

The elder brother looked around again, found the nearest sailor, pointed at him and ordered: "You! Bring me the wine! The sailor was stunned, perhaps frightened, and did not move. The elder brother was in a hurry, grabbed the sailor by the collar, and yelled: "You dare not listen to me!" Do you know who I am?! ”

Everyone around him was frightened, and the sailor was even more at a loss, but he replied in a hurry: "You, you are Prince Albert Royer......"

"What about him? Who is he? The elder brother pointed to the boy next to him, his younger brother, and asked the sailor.

The sailor said tremblingly, "Prince Ryan Royer...... You are all princes of the Kingdom of Spleasy......"

"Humph!" Albert let go of the sailor and said viciously, "Since you know who we are, go get the wine quickly, or ......" Before he could finish speaking, the sailor hurried to the storage room in fright.

Albert was hunched and uninspired, and it might not be convincing to say that he was a young prince of nineteen. Although he is usually more handsome and handsome than his younger brother, when he is drunk, he has no beauty at all.

"Brother," Ryan said to Albert, "don't lose your temper with the sailors. ”

Albert snorted and said, "Humph! Whoever told him to swallow slowly, he couldn't take a slow step to get me wine! ”

Ryan continued to persuade: "As a prince, you must also be more forgiving to others, so that the people will believe in you in the future, and wait for you to become king......"

"his king!" Albert interrupted his brother, almost yelling, "If you want to be king, let you be the king, I can drink it!" ”

"Brother, don't say anything like that, I'm ......" Ryan wanted to continue, but the sailor with the wine returned, carrying a bottle of wine. When Albert saw that the wine was coming, he snatched it angrily and was about to open the bottle—

Ryan grabbed his brother's arm, stopped him from opening the bottle, and said sincerely, "Brother, don't drink, look how drunk you are." This seemed to work, and Albert looked at his brother taking his hand, and then at the bottle in his hand......

"Cut!" He broke free from his brother's hand, but instead of opening the bottle again, he handed it back to the sailor, "Give it to the brothers who sailed the boat, and I'll go back to sleep!" Don't bother me! Then he turned and walked away, leaving a stunned crowd of sailors.

The captain stepped forward to Ryan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't look at Prince Albert like that, he still loves your brother very much, or he wouldn't have personally escorted you all the way." ”

"Well," Ryan nodded, "it's just that he doesn't know how to express and wait, and in the eyes of others he is a quick temper." I'm sure he'll be a good king. ”

"I think ...... You're better suited to be a king. The captain lowered his voice and said, but Ryan did not respond, but diverted the subject: "Captain, are we now in the thermostatic sea?" ”

The captain looked at the position of the sun and replied, "Actually, we have already entered the constant temperature sea, but the previous days were dark clouds, and the sun could not be seen, and now I can determine the direction." ”

"Great, let's go to the scheduled meeting place first."

"But I'll make sure again," the captain said, opening a map, "are you really going to enter the Desperate Desert?" From here? He pointed to a marker on the map beside the shores of a desperate desert.

"That's right," Ryan said confidently, "from there we went into the desert to find the legendary hermit and learn all sorts of things. ”

"I'm kidding with my life, I can't afford to have two princes on my ship......," the captain whispered to himself, and once again ordered the sailors to set sail and go at full speed. The boat heads towards the unknown desert and embarks on an adventure to find the hermit.

But...... Things are always unpredictable – a day later, the ship, full of hope and confidence, sank in a sudden storm.

"It's unlucky! Now it's good, the boat is gone, the wine is gone! What bullshit is to believe you, you almost got your life into it, and now it's a problem to even eat and drink......" Albert complained to Ryan, but was not angry, and checked his fishing rod - there were no fish on the hook.

"Scolding can be angry, prince, fortunately, a lot of rainwater has been collected before, and there are still a lot of fish to catch in the sea, and it is impossible to starve to death." The captain said that he knew that Albert was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and that he would not pay attention to these words at this critical juncture. With the shaking of the fishing rod in his hand, the captain caught a big fish, "There is no fire, and it is good to eat it raw." ”

The two dinghys were fastened together with broken planks, and on them sat all the people on the wrecked ship—the captain, the sailor, and the two princes—none of them fell, and all of them survived!

The scorching sun was shining on every survivor, who lay lazily on the dinghy, waiting for a glimmer of hope.

"I'm sorry, brother." Ryan whispered to Albert, who didn't look at him, just waved his hand—"Don't worry, I don't blame you." ”

"Alas, alas!" A sailor suddenly excitedly pointed to the sea level in the distance, "Boat! Boat! "The people in the dinghy stood up and looked, and sure enough, a boat appeared at the sea level! For them, this is the hope of life.

"Hey !!" "Oh-" "Hey—we're here—" The man in the dinghy began to shout, but the sound could not be reached from this distance. The captain tried to borrow the yellow girdle from Ryan's waist to wield it more conspicuously, but Albert stopped him in time.

"Use this!" He unfastened his red belt, and the captain smiled knowingly, took it and began to wave it......

After about two meals, the ship finally arrived in front of the survivors—a huge, luxurious pleasure ship, a fortress on the sea, which could not be overturned even by strong winds and waves. However, the experienced captain discovered a fatal flaw in the ship: its huge hull forced it to sacrifice speed, not so much sailing as drifting.

As soon as the survivors boarded the ship, they immediately understood that this was a luxury cruise ship from the Aube Kingdom. Soon, the owner of the ship came out to meet the crowd in person. "Dear friends, I regret and regret your experience, but my ship will not dock at this time, so I will hand you over to other ships that we have met, and let other ships take you to land. However, please follow our rules during your time on board. Now, could you tell us a little bit about where you're from? We need to confirm our identity to ensure security. The man who spoke was about the same age as Albert, taller and more muscular, and looked like he was from a nomadic people, perhaps a rich man or a member of the royal family.

Although revealing his true identity is risky, lying is harmful and not beneficial, and Albert takes the initiative to confess that he is the prince of Splitt and does not let his brother speak.

When the owner of the ship heard that the other party was a prince, he immediately became interested and asked, "Where is your destination?" ”

"Desperate desert, go find a legendary hermit." Albert confessed that there was no need to hide it.

"Hahahaha...... "The owner of the ship suddenly laughed, "so our destination is the same!" Introduce yourself: I am Haus Luku from the Kingdom of Aube, and like you, a prince. As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Albert on the shoulder, then pointed at Ryan and said, "He's your brother, right?" You don't have to pretend, I'm not blind, I can't see what you two are wearing? Hahahaha......"

Albert shrugged his shoulders and helped his brother over to House, "You're right, he's my brother: Ryan Royer. Ryan immediately saluted.

"Don't be polite, we Obe people don't pay attention to this." House waved his hand enthusiastically, but quickly pulled his face down, "But don't forget that you are shipwreck survivors, and you can only live in low-level cabins on this ship, and of course you can sleep on deck or in the warehouse, and you must be careful ......" House said a lot, and basically didn't take the two princes seriously, but didn't bother to transfer them to other ships.

The survivors had to comply with House's demands, and even the prince lost his majesty at this moment. Albert wanted to complain, but held back. As for Ryan, he felt favored by fate, because their destination was the same, although his ship was sunk, he could at least go in search of the hermit. The captain and crew thought more directly: surviving is a good thing!

In this way, the huge pleasure ship carrying the three princes continues to the desperate desert to find the legendary hermit.
