Chapter 55: A New Beginning, a New Journey
Betty jumped off Nick and stepped aside, looking at Nick again with sorry written on her little face.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm going to trouble you next, plus Rowan, I'm sure my injuries will heal in three or four days. Nick smiled, and seeing Rowan's confusion, he explained Betty's ability.
Usually, the days of recuperation are difficult, but this time is different.
First, Stark's drowning makes Nick happy, and Kramer's revenge is avenged! Second, after Rowan treated Nick's injury, Nick slept with Betty's help, and then he felt like his body was back to normal.
Due to the disbelief of all the doctors at the hospital and Rowan, Nick was asked to stay in the hospital for a day of observation.
It was a particularly uncomfortable day. Listening to Rowan, the Fengqing that Kramer left him may have gone to Heaven to accompany Kramer, but they didn't find it anyway.
Boredom and discomfort, Nick had to pick up a book next to his bed, the book told a story from 400 years ago, a man named Mont Brown. The story of Rolando's adventurer being exposed as a big liar.
In the evening, the test results came back and Nick was officially discharged from the hospital.
To tell the truth, he himself feels a miracle, what his body has been like all these years, he knows very well that this will never happen.
But this is the case, and I gladly accept it.
The next day, after receiving Hassan's invitation, Nick and Flor went to the royal palace of the Phishi Kingdom to attend the celebration. Before leaving, in order to do his part, Nick instructed the Navy to join the team of post-war reconstruction.
The palace of the Phishi Kingdom is resplendent and splendid, but what really moves Nick is the people in the palace, even the guards, all with warm smiles on their faces, and they can't help but forget their troubles when they see it.
The country was reunified, the pirates were driven away, the families of the pirates were driven to the island, the aborigines all moved back, and the ancient kingdom of Phishi was reborn. Moreover, the revolutionary army is permanently stationed in the kingdom of Phishi, which affixes a strong layer of protection to the national security. What's even more gratifying is that the seriously ill old king has recovered his health!
Therefore, the celebration banquet is particularly grand, which is embodied in the extremely rich dishes on the table, the lively dance party, and the endless games.
Eating and drinking, Betty took the unfinished Nick and Flor to the inner sanctum.
In the inner sanctum, Nick saw Hassan, who was standing beside an old man in his sixties and seventies who was still handsome, who had a pair of piercing eyes, but whose face was not very good, and it was the old king who had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Did you eat a good meal just now?" The old king smiled at Nick and Flore.
Nick laughed and nodded.
"This time, the Phishi Kingdom can be reborn, and the kindness of the two old husbands will always be remembered in the bottom of my heart." The old king nodded lightly to the two of them, and it was clear that he wanted to bow if his body supported him.
"The king is serious, I am a navy, and it is only right to catch pirates." Nick smiled and whispered.
Flor, next to Nick, didn't say anything, just his eyes flickered, as if he had something on his mind.
"Miss Flore, what is this?" The old king wondered.
"Your Excellency the King, you say that I am the benefactor of this country, and I deserve it." Flore took a deep breath and looked up.
"Too humble, you and Lieutenant Colonel Nick saved our people from war, and we should remember this kindness."
Flor hesitated for a moment, deciding not to say anything, and that's it, fine.
"Lieutenant Colonel Nick, I heard Betty say that you lost a famous sword during the decisive battle with Stark, the sea thief, how can a swordsman be without a sword, my Phishi Kingdom has a big fast knife twenty-one work, which was used by the twenty-sixth king of my Phishi Kingdom three hundred years ago, and it is a pity that this sword is hidden in the treasury. It just so happens that Lieutenant Colonel Nick is short of a knife, and I have decided to give you this famous knife, Lieutenant Colonel Nick. ”
"Ho." Cultivated like Hassan, he couldn't help but snort lightly. Betty was even worse, her mouth was so long that her jaw was about to fall to the ground.
The twenty-sixth king has always been the greatest figure in the hearts of most of the inhabitants of the Phishi Kingdom, so the famous sword Purple Shadow has always been hidden as the most precious treasure. Hassan still remembers being beaten by his father when he was a child.
"Twenty-one workers of the big fast knife!!" Nick's eyes widened, a famous knife that he had no money to buy!
"I can't help it, it's too expensive." Nick waved his hand, and he noticed. It can shock anyone like Betty who doesn't know anything about knives, this famous knife is more than just a famous knife.
"No, no, no, Lieutenant Colonel Nick, you first rescued Betty, and then fought a decisive battle with the tough guy pirates, saving the people of my Phishi Kingdom, and only giving away a famous sword, I still don't think it's enough."
"This ......," Nick was speechless with joy.
"Next, the famous knife is used to kill the enemy rather than collect, I hope Lieutenant Colonel Nick can take this knife and kill all the pirates on the sea who should be killed." The more the old king spoke, the more excited he became. After saying that, he waved his hand, and Hassan immediately opened the dark cabinet on the wall and took out the famous knife.
At a glance, the sheath of the famous knife Purple Shadow is engraved with a distant mountain composed of a few lines, using some special means, looking hazy, the handle of the knife is embedded with seven stars, and the hell pattern is tattooed.
Nick took it, and with a slight buckle, a section of the blade was revealed, and the blade was purple and black. Pull them all out, feel them carefully, and suddenly find that the purple shadow is different from Fengqing, the purple shadow is heavier, the arc is larger and suitable for chopping, the blade is long and sharp, and it is not a problem to pick thorns.
The more I look at Nick, the more I like it, the purple shadow belongs to the black knife, and the blade is a chaotic blade against the T-word, flashing with cold light, which seems to be able to devour people's souls.
"It's worthy of the twenty-one work of the big fast knife!" Nick swung it twice and gently unsheathed.
"Nick, you must take good care of this famous knife, my brother has been greedy for it for many years, be careful that my brother secretly takes it for you." Betty's eyes were like crescents and she grinned.
Hassan's face was black, and the inner sanctum was filled with laughter.
When the old king thanked Flore, she rejected the old king's offer, and Nick found that he still couldn't read Flore.
After the feast, as soon as he returned to the station, Rowan greeted Nick.
"There is a task so soon, how can you do it! Einsatzgruppen teams generally have very few missions. Nick frowned in thought. Just now, Rowan said that the headquarters ordered him to go to a place to investigate some information.
Hurriedly came to the ship, Nick dialed the head office, and after verifying his identity, the other party spoke:
"Lieutenant Colonel Nick, Fire Fist Ace appeared in the first half of the Great Voyage, go to Magic Valley Town on the west coast of the Chaos Zone as soon as possible to investigate, and see if you can figure out the purpose of Fire Fist's coming."
Let's go! Phone bugs close their eyes.
"Magic Valley Town, Gaya Island!" Nick silently thought, this place has to be visited, and it still needs to be pretended. Inadvertently walked onto the deck and looked at the night view of the coastline, Nick shook his head, parting, always coming suddenly.
Three days later, when the post-war reconstruction was basically on track, Nick had Betty informed them of their farewell.
"Flore, do you want to come with me?" Nick looked at Flore, who was roughly occupying his deck chair and basking in the sun in the sea breeze on the deck.
"I don't have anywhere to go now, and I've never been in the Navy myself, so I'll give it a try, and if I'm bored, I'll get off the ship." Flor replied lightly.
"Really, this beautiful young lady is going to be our partner? That's great. Rowan looked delighted. The soldiers on the side were all smiling, a few days ago a Miss Xia came, and now Miss Flor is also on board, so happy.
"Well, anyway, my team is now a special operations team, and it is not supervised, so I will let you on board." Nick smiled, these days of getting along, he felt that Flore was by no means a bad person, she was going to be in the navy, Nick welcomed.
