"Hello! Duke Auston! "The fat man made a salute, in this era, there will be a number of courtesies to show that your status is noble.

The old man also replied: "You're good!" Baron Xiao Lang! ”

The fat man corrected: "It's not this sound, my name is Xiao Leng, not Xiao Lang OK?" ”

"Alright! Baron Xiao Leng, let's go into the house to lighten up the matter, recruit people, you just let the captain and first mate under your command do it, this is their job. The old man said slowly.

"Alright! Duke Auston, you speak Spanish very well, and I'd like to hear you speak in French, but I don't understand it. The fat man said with a smile.

"It's okay! I think I'll have a lot of time to teach you French! The old man smiled, and smiled meaningfully.

"Nope! I'm already going to sea, I won't stay here for long, three or four days at most, and I'm going to set out to find my treasure! The fat man's eyes lit up.

But the Duke of Auston said, "We are going in one direction, and after I heard that there is a nobleman from the east, I have prepared my fleet, and I am ready to come to Casablanca, and I think that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow my fleet will arrive, and I have seen the treasure map in your hand, and the position on Cape Storm on the map you drew for me, yes, the same!" ”

"That's why I said we're going to dig up your treasure, and I'm going to Cape Storm, and I'm going to go through Cape Storm to find the golden kingdom of the East!"

The fat man was shocked: "No! Duke Auston, you are old, it will be very dangerous to go to sea, from here to the East, even if it is a year, you may not be able to reach it, you know, you have no experience in sea sailing, it is much more difficult to sail far sea than just wandering along the coastline in the Mediterranean or Northern Europe! ”

"If you go to sea, you will die, you better let the young people try!"

The fat man persuaded in the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, in his opinion, that if such an old person still goes to sea, it is no different from looking for death, and now it is not the modern kind of big ship made of steel, but a kind of ship with a cargo of only two or three hundred tons, which is already the largest ship in the West.

"Nope! I'm not very old, is someone in my fifties considered old? Duke Alston said with a smile.

"If I don't try again, in two years, I won't be able to go even if I want to! You're right, I'm old, if I'm not a nobleman, then maybe I'll die for various reasons when I'm in my thirties, but I'm a nobleman, and I hope to get another honor if I can still move and go to sea, I'm the first Westerner to go from the sea to the golden country of the East, this is my dream after reading Marco Polo's Travels. ”

There are many editions of Marco Polo's books in the West, and "Marco Polo's Journey to the East" is also one of them.

The final destination of the fat man's treasure drawing is on the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and now Disia has not discovered the Cape of Good Hope, which is the Cape of Storm he named, so the name is still taken by the fat man himself, and the fat man is too lazy to think of the name, and he writes it according to the original Cape of Storm from Disia.

And Duke Auston was glad to go to Cape Storm with the fat man, so he loudly decided that he would teach the fat man to speak French on the way.

O'Neill was quick to recruit people, and soon he had recruited a hundred sailors, carpenters, and seammers to return to the ship, and then the ship was in a hurry to procure food, but it was not too much trouble.

Because Casablanca is a big port, there are many ships coming and going, and the merchants in the port know what they want to buy if there is a ship to go to sea, and then they will ship their goods to the dock in large quantities for the captains to choose.

A merchant was stacked with a pile of bacon in wooden barrels in front of him, and when he saw the fat man and others approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to sell: "Dear captains and gentlemen, please buy my bacon, my bacon is notoriously good in Casablanca, please believe in the business ethics of my 'good man Joseph', what I can get out must be delicious bacon." ”

That's when Caterina said, "Shut up!" We are not newcomers, no matter what kind of salted meat has been on the ship for less than ten days, and the meat is not a layer of fly larvae with white flowers on it, don't you want to bully us? Name your price, and if your price is so high that it discredits your conscience, then we'll turn around and leave. ”

It's not good to talk about business, O'Neill can't do it, and neither can Arthur, he's just a fresh and pink captain, although he is a captain, but the fat man wants him to learn the skills of these first mates.

So it was only Caterina who came, and the fat man followed behind to study, and the hateful old man Auston followed behind to watch the play.

After a while, buckets of salted meat and bags of flour were sent to the boat, and the fat man came closer to see what was going on, and there were pigs and ducks.

After doing so many tasks, the fat man's sailing level is only level three, and the knowledge in the sailing experience he gets is all about sailing around the coastline, and he has never had the knowledge to go farther, so he doesn't understand these ocean preparations, O'Neill and Katerina are people who have been drifting in the Nordic waters all year round, and they know what to buy and what not to buy.

The captain and the first mate were preparing their things, and Lord William, when he heard that the fat man was going on an expedition, set off for Cyprus, but before leaving, he told Arthur to be careful when he was at sea, and to learn more from the first and second mates.

The fat man couldn't do anything on the ship, so he just made a hands-off shopkeeper, wandered around the harbor, just went to the tavern for a beer, discussed with Auston when to leave, and by the way, bought two hundred barrels of beer in his tavern for him to send to the ship, this time to go to sea for a few months, if you only drink water on the ship, then fade out of the bird? Anyway, I'm going to go to sea for an adventure, not to trade, so I don't need to load goods, as long as I fill both ships with supplies, and beer is not a kind of material.

When I was shopping, I saw others feeding horses with beans, and I remembered that there were pigs, ducks and geese on the boat, and I thought that I can't feed pigs, ducks and geese with flour! Get! Buy dozens of sacks of beans!

Who knows that when I bought beans and went back to the boat, I asked, people fed these pigs, ducks and geese the aquatic weeds caught from the sea, or fish and shrimp, or leftovers, how could there be so expensive to eat beans, and the beans were used to feed the war horses.

Get! Fortunately, the beans are placed in the backpack space, and no one knows yet, so they won't take them out to make people laugh, anyway, the backpack space doesn't take up a load.

Recently, the fat man found that since he was promoted to a third-level navigation, the minimap has also expanded, and he deliberately measured the distance, that is to say, the minimap can be expanded by one kilometer, so when he reaches the full level of sixty, can't his minimap see things within sixty kilometers? That's too against the sky!

But it's too early to say this, because the fat man is now only a third-level sailor, and when he reaches level 60, it may be the year of the monkey.

Since the last time he bought Erguotou and divided almost 100,000 gold coins, his trade was raised to level ten, and he was upgraded to seven levels in a row, but his attribute points have not changed at all, and it seems that he can only be like the king of one piece played on the website, and the nautical trade and battle have been upgraded with attribute points.

Just looking at the small map, suddenly he saw a fleet of ships outside the port, these were five ships, big ships, he could see that they were all good ships that could carry 300 tons and load many people, it should be the Portuguese galleon in his hand.

Take a look at the name of the ship, "The Duke of Alston, the flagship of the Duke of Bordeaux Auston, the Portuguese galleon, the predecessor of the Spanish galleon, has the characteristics of carrying more cargo and more passengers, this kind of ship transformed into a Spanish galleon once dominated the sea until the seventeenth century, is a rare good ship." ”

"Earl Alston ......"

"Viscount Alston ......"

"Baron Alston ......"

"Lord Alston ......"

Look at other people's ships, they are all noble ships! The big ships didn't come into port, but sent a few small boats down to report to the Duke of Auston, and buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, but very little, because they couldn't be put away!

He knew that he should also go and see how his captains and mates had prepared their things, in case the old man Auston came over, then his own things were not ready, and his face would not be embarrassed?

He called his five captains and second officers: "How's the preparation now?" Do you feel that there is anything missing, and if nothing else, we will either set off tonight or tomorrow morning. ”

"Your Excellency, I don't think there is anything missing, maybe I have less experience, maybe there is, but I didn't notice it, you can ask the two first mates and the two second mates!" Arthur didn't shy away from his lack of experience and said it bluntly.

O'Neill exclaimed, "Captain, I think I'm well prepared, and I don't see anything missing at the moment. ”

Caterina and the two second mates had no other opinions, and the fat man also looked at the water and grain warehouses, which were full, and even the cabin with firewood was full.

However, the fat man had a question: "Wolflin, I think you can't be the second mate of the Chang'an, because you have Nina, in this way, Eriff will change with you, he will go to the Chang'an, you take Nina to the Yinglong, and let Nina live in the same cabin with the beautiful Caterina first mate!" It's more convenient that way. ”

At this time, the Duke of Auston came, and the fat man had to get off the boat to pick him up, and the Duke of Auston asked him, "Baron Xiao Leng, when do you plan to leave?" My fleet is already waiting outside the harbor, why don't we set off now and watch the sunset at sea? ”

The fat man glanced at him: "Honorable Duke Auston, is your captain already able to sail at night?" Are you sure? You know, this is a trip to unfamiliar waters! ”

Duke Auston smiled: "There is an archipelago to the south of Casablanca, called the Canary Islands, which is the territory of Spain, and it takes more than twenty days to walk south from here to reach the port of Las Palmas in the archipelago. ”

"Alright! Since you've already planned it, you're here to convince me, right? Are you sure we can sail at night? Let's go! The fat man said helplessly, but since there is a large fleet of pathfinders in front, his small fleet of only two medium-sized ships can follow behind with peace of mind! Anyway, if something happens, the ship in front of it will be the first to have an accident.

So he nodded, and the old duke of Auston did not return to his ship in the boat, but only rested on the fat man's three-masted merchant ship.

The fat man gave Caterina his first order after joining the small fleet, and the two ships were now out of port, and then followed them in the rear of Duke Auston's fleet.

The huge fleet that was parked on the sea not far from the port, the five Portuguese galleons that were only not in the current if they were placed now were the top in Europe with a cargo capacity of more than three hundred tons, the fat man looked at the Duke of Auston beside him and said;

"Are you really not going back to your ship?"

Old man Auston smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, no, I've already heard from Lord William, you have great food here, don't you?" ”

The fat man's face was not good: "Old man Auston, can you have a little duke's demeanor?" ”

"No, no, no! I had fallen in love with the delicacies under William's boasting, so, in order to taste the delicacies that William would never forget, I decided not to have my demeanor. "Old Auston is playing a scoundrel.

After seeing the fat man's Yinglong and Chang'an leaving the port, the huge fleet immediately opened its sails and set sail!
