Chapter 42: Boarding the ship
Although Morena had tried to simplify the bathing process as much as possible, it was still slower than Fern had imagined, and by the time she had finished dressing up and reappeared in the tavern, Fern was almost asleep on the table, and thanks to Joseph's still chatting with him, he barely kept his eyes open. Some customers who were still drinking and chatting couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of admiration when they saw the well-dressed Jarena slowly walking into the tavern.
Fern looked up, and the hazy eyes of Jasmine made him hold his breath for a moment. Different from the beauty of Ness and Queai, Morena exudes an innate elegance, her long yellow-brown 'color' hair hangs down to her waist, fluttering with her light steps, and the sky blue 'color' short top and satin skirt that she has just changed into fit fit the tall body of the ** teacher, and the half-moon-shaped eyes are 'refreshed', as if they can speak, which deeply attracts Fern and Joseph.
"Sorry, long waiting. Jamina walked over to the table and sat down slowly.
Joseph hurriedly poured lime juice for the ** master. "You're so gracious, 'woman', try the lime juice I have prepared for you to relieve your fatigue, and these melons, the most delicious melons you can find in the Black Swamp this season, you must try them. ”
"Thank you very much, Joseph, for how fortunate we are to have met such a good man as you in this difficult time. Jasmine smiled gracefully, her half-moon-shaped eyes narrowed into two slits.
Fern pretended to cough twice. "Eat, we've been 'surfing' for a long time, and we must leave as soon as possible. ”
Before Jalena could respond, Joseph blamed the mercenary. "Women' are inherently slower to take a shower than men, and you'll have to learn to get used to that, Fern. ”
Fern felt a strong drowsiness come over him again, and he had to massage his temples with great difficulty. "You won't think that way when your store is destroyed. ”
"It seems that you have provoked some dangerous people again, old man, I have long advised you, don't take those dangerous commissions, although the commission for dangerous commissions will be more, but it is too cost-effective to pay for your life. Joseph shook his head and filled his glass for Ferne. "I've said it many times, and I don't care if I say it again, it's almost time to quit, Fern, find a quiet place, find a suitable 'woman', and live a peaceful life. With that, Joseph stole a glance at Jaminena, who was slowly eating fruit and bread.
Fern took the wine glass and drank it slowly, without answering the boss's words, staring at the table with dry and 'confused' eyes.
Joseph sighed and turned to Morena. "Fern is such a nice fellow, really, I Joseph never look at the wrong person, really, 'woman', please trust my eyes. ”
Fern waved nervously at Joseph. "What nonsense, Joseph, you have drunk too much. ”
After eating the melon, Jasmina took out a slice of buttered toast from the basket. "I believe you, Joseph, Fern is a very good swordsman, better than any swordsman I have ever met. ”
"It's great that you think so, 'woman'. Joseph filled the cup of tea for Molina. "Fern told me you're about to go, and I'm really reluctant to give you that. ”
Morena smiled slightly, and even the appearance of eating was extremely elegant. "We, too, Joseph, will come again if we have the chance. ”
"I'm going to treat you to the best food and the best room, I swear. Joseph looked at Jasmine with a serious face, as if she had suddenly become ten years younger.
The guests in the tavern were leaving, and the hostess was left with only one, and the other was already resting, and Jalena put the last piece of melon in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it. "Truly delicious dinner. ”
"It's my pleasure to be satisfied, woman. Joseph was always at the table.
Fern yawned as he quickly finished the rest of the wine in one gulp and stood up. "Let's go, it's not too early. ”
Jasmine nodded, and followed Fern out of the tavern, with Joseph behind him, and the groom leading their mounts over. Fern pulled out a handful of gold coins from his inner pocket and shoved them into Joseph's hand without counting them. "Thank you for your hospitality, Joseph, I can always feel at home here, and you can imagine how important this is for someone who doesn't have a home. ”
Joseph glanced at the gold coin in his hand and opened his mouth wide in surprise. "It doesn't take so much, Fern, it's too much. ”
"Take it, Joseph, you need them, hold on until next 'spring' day, and everything will be fine. "In the night, Fern's deep eyes wandered.
"Thank you so much, old man, this will always be your home, as long as you are tired, come back and rest. Joseph's eyes twinkled in his eyes.
Fern patted Joseph on the shoulder, took the reins of the dark clouds, and walked towards the docks. "Goodbye, Joseph, there will be a time later. ”
"I'll see you later, Fern, remember my words. Joseph looked at Fern's distant back, and the bleak night breeze blew across his face, and he suddenly had a strange feeling that this seemed to be the last time he and Fern were separated.
Jasmine also politely said goodbye to Joseph and caught up with Fern. "Why are you walking so fast, I haven't said goodbye to Joseph yet. ”
"We've been 'surfing' too long, and I'm worried that the mage will catch up. Fern quickened his pace and walked along the silent night road.
Jasmina followed Fern closely, observing his face. "Do you also realize something, you can't hide it from me, as I said, there is already a feeling between us. ”
Fern shook his head in confusion. "I can't tell, I have a feeling...... I'll never see him again. ”
Jasmina nodded, lost in thought. "It may be some kind of hunch, but you don't have any clues, you can't do anything right now, you just go with the flow. ”
"yes, so I had to get out of here as soon as possible, I'm afraid I really thought of something. Fern found a dock in the dock and stepped onto the wooden platform.
A brig stopped at the end of the platform, and at the rudder, a cloud of dim lights lit up, and the towering lookout swayed in the gentle 'waves' and 'waves'.
Jasmine walked as she looked at the ship. "How did you find this ship, it looks so good, the captain is willing to send us to the Tarentala hills, you must have 'spent' a lot of gold. ”
"You'll find out in a moment. Fern said, waving his arms as he sat on the rope bolt in front of him, and the figure stood up and walked towards the two of them.
"I thought you weren't coming, it's almost midnight, and I can't 'deliver' to the crew. A man wearing a wide pirate hat walked up to Fern.
"Don't worry, I mean what I say. Fern responded with a smile, then took a step to the side and looked at the ** division behind him. "This is my companion, Jarena, and this is the captain of this ship, Carlos. ”
Jalena nodded warily to the captain and did not speak, and Carlos glanced at Fern with a wicked smile. "Why do you kid have a beautiful 'girl' to accompany you every time, and last time, too, there are two more. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, I'm about to faint, hurry up and find me a comfortable cabin to sleep in. Fern's eyes widened, he couldn't hold on much longer.
"Don't worry, I have prepared a big 'bed' for you and your 'girl' to ensure your satisfaction, hahahaha. Carlos laughed insolently and led the two of them towards the boat.
"I told you, I want two rooms. Fern immediately interrupted him.
Cross stepped onto the deck and led the two men through the planks that connected the sailboat to the docks. "Yes, yes, just kidding, if you need a room, you can always come to me. ”
"Alright, let's get out of the boat. Fern stepped onto the deck and held out his right hand to Jarena, who was still trembling on the plank. "Be careful, it's a little shaky. ”
Jalena held the mercenary's hand, her body shook unnoticedly, and the ** division walked onto the boat with her head down. "Thank you. ”
One of the crew members removed the planks behind them, and at the command of Carlos, the two sails were hoisted separately, and the breeze blew the huge sails, and in the darkness of the night, the sailboat slowly sailed out of the dock. Standing in front of the rudder, skillfully turning the steering wheel, Carlos brandished his pirate hat and seemed excited. "Let's go, guys, after so much free time, let's move your stiff bones. ”
As the crew busied on deck, Fern and Morena walked to the bow of the boat, leaning against the edge of the boat to look at the dark river ahead, it was nearly midnight, and the temperature was no longer as hot as the daytime, and the moist and cool night breeze blew across their faces. Morena closed her eyes, feeling the cool and comfortable breeze, and her long hair was slightly blown behind her. "I haven't felt this good in a long time, it's so comfortable, and I would have liked to stay on this boat for a while longer. ”
"Our journey is short, almost a day and a half to Tarentara, so take advantage of this time to enjoy yourself. Fern also closed his eyes, and the refreshing evening breeze also refreshed him and eliminated some fatigue.
Morena looked curiously at Fern's slightly raised head. "Does this ship have a name, although I don't ride it often, but I know that every captain will give his ship a name. ”
"Yes, her name is Princess Merry, that's her name. Fern's eyes were still closed, feeling the wet scent coming to his face.
"Princess Merry, what a beautiful name. Jalena looked ahead, once again basking in the calm and serenity.
The boat moved forward at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and the river was cut open at the bow of the boat, stirring up white and white waves, and the crisp sound of waves, waves, and waves echoed in the ears of Fern and Molina. On both sides of the river, there was a pitch-black forest, and the white river stretched out in front of the two of them, and fell into darkness at the end.
