The "Endurance" expedition salvage ship anchored in the harbor is recruiting team members at this time.

London is a city of seafarers, adventurous and romantic. Walking through the harbor, you can see advertisements recruiting crew members everywhere. Ships are ready to go to sea in search of the riches lost on the sea. This has been the case since the Age of Discovery.

After seeing many colorful advertisements, Nan Xiao unconsciously remembered the adventure with Li Huamei in the Age of Discovery. Are they okay? Rin's grave doesn't know what happened. The moment when he fought Sakura Dragon with her in the Palace of Origin is still vivid in front of me.

It's a pity, if you can push the space-time coordinates back to before Rin's death......

Nan Xiao shook his head and expelled these inappropriate thoughts. Once the space-time landmark is established, it cannot be traced. Even if he is transcendent, it is impossible to repeat the history of the past.

It's better to deal with the current matter, in the world of Tomb Raider, there must be no regrets.

In front of it is the Voyager tavern. This is a famous tavern. During the Age of Discovery, it was common for captains to set foot in the area, treat all the sailors for a drink, and then inquire about the news or recruit sailors.

According to information on the Internet, Conrad Ross, the captain of the "Endurance", has been immersed in it all this time and has been recruiting adventurers.

Conrad Ross, captain of the expedition ship Perseverance. Experienced, wise and rational. He served in the Royal Marine Corps Assault Brigade and enjoys climbing, hiking and exploring. He is 52 years old, a little older, but he is experienced and still strong. As a captain, he has a wealth of experience in sea navigation and is also familiar with the series of operations of salvage and treasure hunting. He had a close personal relationship with Laura Crawford's parents, and it can be said that he grew up watching her. If you want to join the expedition, you must get his approval.

Pushing the door into the house, the first thing I saw was a thick anchor. It was a very heavy piece of iron, with a little rust on top of it, and some gray barnacles attached to it. The lower half is very smooth. It is said that many sailors like to touch it before leaving the port, which can be blessed with protection from storms at sea.

Nan Xiao glanced at it and immediately grasped all the information of everyone in the tavern. In his 50s, he is strong and has a lot of sailing experience...... No matter how you look at it, only the gray-haired old man by the window fits each one.

The old man was writing and drawing, occasionally shaking his head, as if he was not very satisfied with what he had written.

Nan Xiao bought two glasses of Scotch black whisky and brought them to Conrad Ross. "Would I have had the pleasure of toasting you, Captain?" He pushed one of the cups towards the old man, "I'm interested in the adventure that the Endurance is about to face. ”

Conrad Ross looked up at Nan Xiao. By the standards of ordinary people, he has a sharp eye. "We don't just want to recruit sailors," he said, "and the staff and funding are limited, and one person has to be used as several." I want to hear about your experience. ”

Nan Xiao is confident: "I am a skilled sailing enthusiast and have cooperated with others to sail around the world. ”

Ross shook his head: "The Endurance is a big diesel-powered ship......"

"I also happen to have experience as a crew member on a large twin-engine diesel-powered ship." Nan Xiao casually said a bunch of tips for the control of the Red Cossack, which won Ross with a nod of approval.

Rose glanced at the piece of paper in front of him, "Do you have any experience with firearms?" ”

"Proficient in any kind of firearm, sir. I am proficient in using any assault rifle, pistol, light machine gun, shotgun, or other firearm available on the market. ”

Rose made a note on the paper and nodded: "There is still a month before departure, and we have a chance to appreciate your marksmanship." ”

"My pleasure, sir."

"I'm sure you're also proficient in hand-to-hand combat and knife wielding."

"I'm probably the most dangerous hand-to-hand fighter in the city. As for the knives...... Seeing the knife marks on this table, I want to perform a game that pirates used to play in the Age of Discovery, can you lend me a knife, sir? ”

Ross looked interested in the proposal. He hung a three-inch-long buck survival knife on his waist, and happily pulled it out and handed it to Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao pressed his left hand on the table and held the knife in his right hand, letting the tip of the knife jump quickly between each finger.

This is indeed a common trick in the Age of Discovery, which later spread to the United States and was also popular among cowboys. It's very, very difficult to poke quickly, strongly, and accurately. If you play a little worse, you may poke a hole in your palm.

Nan Xiao played very quickly, his right hand flew, and even brought out the afterimage. It looked like he was holding five knives at the same time. If you look a little sharper, you can see that the tip of the knife is poked in the same position every time, and it is extremely accurate.

Gradually, a few people came to watch and admire.

I have to admit that this hand is indeed not something that everyone can do. So fast, so powerful, so precise.

Nan Xiao put away the knife and handed it back to Rose.

Rose nodded: "Your hands are indeed very steady, very good." ”

Nan Xiao continued to show his talents: "I can repair diesel engines, I am proficient in computer operation, familiar with nautical charts and navigation, and I am also a very good cook, good at cooking various flavors of the East and the West, especially fish dishes." Also, if I'm tired of the long seafaring days, I can pick up my guitar and play a few pieces for everyone. ”

The tavernkeeper proposed, "How about playing a song?" I can lend you a guitar. ”

Nan Xiao took the guitar: "It's an honor." ”

Pluck the strings lightly, and a quiet and charming melody emerges. There was an instant silence in the tavern. Like ink dripping into white water, a strange sense of alienation begins to seep into everyone's heart.

It's a tune that has never been in the world before. In fact, it didn't exist until you stepped into this tavern.

The beautiful notes kept coming to his mind, and all he had to do was play them.

Everyone held their breath, as if they saw a ship leaving the port. Calm seas, flowers and cheers. The little girl on the dock waved and ran after the boat, tears falling from her eyes.

Brave the wind and waves, straight forward. The sea breeze blows with a salty freshness. The gentle sun shines through the clouds and on everyone's face.

Chirping seagulls flying around the bow of the ship.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano became intense. It was as if people saw waves of mad dogs as high as mountains rushing towards them. The steel hull is still as fragile as a leaf in front of nature. The ship was overturned! Broken in two! Everyone falls into the water, and in the distance is a mysterious island in pitch black.

Going to the island? It seemed like a mysterious place.

After the breathless rhythm, the sound of the piano turns melodious. It's like the tranquility after a rainstorm, the sunshine in the cracks of the dark clouds.

Rose leaned against the window, his eyes glazed.

A minute passed, two minutes passed, and there was silence in the tavern.

Tears suddenly welled up in the corners of Rose's eyes. One line, one line after another.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.

Rose opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and then stood up abruptly. He stretched out his hand to Nan Xiao, shook Nan Xiao urgently, held it tightly, and shook it up and down vigorously, emotional.

"You're the one we're looking for," he said, "and the last of the Stoicure's shortcomings have been filled." ”
