Chapter Forty-Seven: Going to Sea
Bravely climbing the peak can make people's souls extremely powerful: the fierce sea can sublimate people's souls.
Lying on a lounger on the deck, an extraordinary man in a short shirt and shorts is sleeping with a sunhat over his face.
The Whale Fork is a decommissioned and converted fishing vessel from the Freeport Coastguard of Saint-Trite, and the main gun emplacement in the bow is now two large, narrow whaling guns.
A retired warship with a sturdy hull and the power of four heavy steam engines will not make a living in offshore and small wooden boats.
The destination of the "Whaling Fork" this time is the king of fish in the sea where the "Lighthouse Outpost" is located.
The king of fish is still a fish. However, this delicious delicacy is the dream of many princes and nobles on the mainland.
It is rumored that this moray eel snake fish can increase the strengths of humans and increase its combat power.
The "Whaling Fork" goes to sea twice a year, on the spring ploughing day and the autumn harvest day, and it takes three months to go back and forth, not because the distance is too long, but if you want to meet the moray eel and snake fish, you need to rely on pure luck.
Captain "Iron Hook Quark", who holds a pipe all day long, likes to patrol his fishing boat with a crooked prosthetic, but Extraordinary has never seen a pipe smoke.
There is also a fifteen-year-old lookout Fanfan, nicknamed "Lucky Trumpet", who has been on this fishing boat for four years, and every time he goes to sea in the past four years, as long as he hears the sound of a brass trumpet on the mast, it is a harvest.
The four heavy steam engines were expensive to maintain alone, so the "whaling forks" were still powered by the oceanic monsoon winds until schools of fish were found.
At the beginning of the dock, when Extraordinary asked to board the ship, Quark firmly refused.
However, when Extraordinary asked Captain Quark to take a closer look at his hands, Captain Quark relented.
On the index fingers of one left and one right, there are two quaint ring seals.
Such an aristocrat is not something that Quark, the captain of a fishing boat, can refuse.
When the wind was calm, Fanfan was sent by Quark to serve the extraordinary, and in terms of age, Fanfan should now be the age when he ended his public school and entered the university college.
Quark's move is to hope that the handsome aristocratic lord will inadvertently teach Fanfan some knowledge, even if it is red tape aristocratic etiquette, Quark also thinks it will be very useful.
But Fanfan didn't think so, it had been almost a day since Extraordinary was on the ship, and the boy didn't even say a word to Extraordinary.
In this way, it makes the extraordinary even more satisfied, remembering that he was chased by Charles and several people in the academy to ask questions about magic knowledge, even if he recalls, he is one head and two big.
The "Whaling Fork" chased the sun and drifted away to the east.
The golden afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on Extraordinary, and Fanfan put down a glass of tomato lemon juice and left without saying hello.
"Although the sun can still be seen on the sea, it is estimated that it is already dark in Freeport, this time should be the auction time of Grand Duke Vasari, I just hope that Gu Lie will not scold when he sees the note he left!haha!"
When he was taking Dabo Xiaobo sisters and Maggie shopping, Extraordinary received a letterhead from Gu Lie's messenger, and the content of the letter was to tell Extraordinary "Winter Night Feather" to appear at the Tiger Leaping Canyon ferry, so that Extraordinary should not go out.
The vanished Night Elf Assassin certainly didn't come to Freeport to travel.
Whether the goal this time is himself or not, Extraordinary doesn't want to take risks.
Thinking about Boscant's methods, the three daughters of Anna and Lisa around Extraordinary may be the target of the elven assassins, and now with the Popova sisters, Extraordinary is not sure if one of them will be kidnapped and he will fall into the net.
When a problem is encountered, it needs to be solved, and if there is no solution, it is not unreasonable to retreat temporarily.
During this period of going to sea, the extraordinary one is to relax, the second is to improve one's combat power, and finally to feel the "golden channel" of King Solomon.
On the endless sea, going south to north is like entering a big whirlpool, and no matter how you sail, the final destination is the free port of Santerit.
Sailing only to the east, the Endless Sea is called the Endless Sea because it has no end.
Legend has it that the end of the Endless Sea is the entrance to the Demon Abyss, and some people say that the easternmost part of the Endless Sea is a land that is wider than the Brave Continent.
In a daze, Extraordinary felt that someone was pulling his robe.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that Fanfan's thin head was crooked and poking himself with a stake bolt.
Night had fallen, and Extraordinary sat up straight and asked, "Where have we been?"
"Lord Korfi, we have traveled five hundred nautical miles east, a tenth of the way. ”
Fanfan, who had short black hair, replied, looking at the way he squirmed, he should have called himself to dinner.
The distance of 5,000 nautical miles, "Vivien's messenger" can reach it in a few days at most, and he sent a message to Gu Lie, and also told him to check the explosion that occurred on the day of spring ploughing.
Colfe is the pseudonym of Extraordinary Ocean, a word that is neither well-known nor low, and once recognized, it is constantly troublesome.
The dinner was sumptuous, and it was a common problem when ocean voyages had just left port.
Some food that is not easy to store and perishable will be killed by the ship's crew in just a few days.
Then there was no freshly made bread, only dried meat and hard dried fruit.
Space equipment can solve this problem, but a captain who can have this kind of high-end cargo will not be a quark no matter how you look at it.
After dinner, Extraordinary came to the wheelhouse of the fishing boat, and Quark, who was still holding a non-smoking pipe, was staring at the anomaly on the sea ahead.
"Beep, beep"
From the watchtower on the mast came the shrill sound of a small brass trumpet.
It took about five minutes before Extraordinary saw a flickering light in the distance directly opposite the bow of the ship.
Looking at Captain Quark with a solemn face, Extraordinary asked, "Is it the Sea Soul Lantern or the shipwrecked?"
The Sea Soul Lantern is a large, ugly-looking fish that attracts prey by the glowing bulbs on its head, and is extremely ferocious.
Quark said in a muffled voice: "It seems to be a victim, if you look closely, it is not the rhythmic flickering of the sea soul lamp, but the pilot light that rises and falls with the waves!"
As the distance between the two closed, Extraordinary and Quark stepped out of the cabin and stood on the ramming angle of the bow of the ship, staring ahead.
Sure enough, when the light came closer, Extraordinary could still hear hysterical cries for help.
After observing the man who fell into the sea for a long time, Captain Quark carefully ordered the first mate to lower the dinghy.
It was only when several crew members pulled a middle-aged man in a robe onto the deck that the brown-haired and square-faced victim fainted.
A layer of old skin had faded from his face and neck, and his swollen whole body indicated that this divine servant was seriously dehydrated.
