You can even see cargo on the pier that didn't have time to be loaded onto the ship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Excuse me, what about the ship bound for the New World?" said Los Angeles to the stevedores next to him a silver coin.
"Oh, you mean the Toronia. It is said that the fourth princess wanted to see the New World on a whim. As a result, as soon as he got on the ship, he shouted that he wanted to set sail. also raised the name of the king, looking at this posture, it was like robbing a ship. In the end, the captain was really out of luck, so he had to leave the ship early. The stevedore smiled at the silver coin. This silver coin was worth a full day's wages.
"Excuse me, what other ship can go to the New World?"
"Well. Pier 45 has several private ships intended to sail to the New World. It's just that that kind of ship is very unsafe, and it will sink when you look at it. β
"Big brother, what should we do? Our luggage and money are all on that ship. Ollie said.
"If I go back like this, Ichea will definitely follow me next time. The New World is too dangerous. Suna also said.
"Those boats are all hiring, and if you're lucky, you might be able to ride it for free, but you probably have to do some coolies. The stevedore kindly reminded.
"Let's go, try our luck. β
The only port in the New World is also firmly controlled by the Jiameng Kingdom, and without a port entry permit, it can only be replenished at most, and it is not even allowed to go to the shore. Wild landings? The harbor is surrounded by reefs, and shipwrecks are a matter of every second.
Regardless of whether it is open, covert, legal or illegal, as long as you can get a port entry permit, you can sell it for a lot of money even if you resell it. That's how the permits for those private ships came about. But they are all genuine entry permits.
As the stevedores say, those ships are hiring, and they are really free to ride, without having to do coolies. But their condition is a prophet. Under such harsh conditions, the dangers of navigation were largely avoided. But a prophet is not omnipotent, 20% accuracy is good, and even if the prediction is successful, it may not completely avoid the crisis. High-ranking prophets don't go to the New World, let alone take such cheap, dirty, and dangerous ships.
Ollie presents his professional certificate. Those who saw it were amazed, as the lord had said, that he was the first male prophet.
The three of them were brought into the captain's room, and they had professional certificates in time, and they could only board the ship as long as they could predict accurately. It's also a default rule.
It is a pity that Ollie's predictions, which were always accurate, have failed repeatedly. It wasn't until it was nearly dusk that they failed to board a boat.
Ship after boat attempt, Ollie's predictions were never accurate. This is the last one for the day, Avena. Named after the shipowner's deceased wife, he hoped to bring good luck.
In the captain's room, Ollie touched the crystal ball given by the laboratory. The crystal ball gradually revealed what they wanted to see, and the prophecy succeeded.
Supplies and personnel have already arrived. As soon as the prophecy was successful, the ship's owner immediately ordered the ship to set sail. If it's too late, the port will be closed, and an extra day of stay is a huge expense for one more day.
"Miss Prophetβno, sir. Your room is ready, please come with me. "The owner of the ship personally sent the three to the room.
This room is not very luxurious, but it can be considered first class on the whole ship. But this treatment is only for Ollie, and Los Angeles and Suna are arranged in the side room. Compared to Ollie's room, it was much more basic. But on the whole boat, most of the 10 or so people were crammed into one room, and even 3 people were crammed into the owner's room.
"I had a strange feeling. After seeing off the shipowner, all three of them consulted in Ollie's room.
"It's like ......"
"It's like Acea is around. Los Angeles and Suna spoke at about the same time.
"Yes. Ollie immediately agreed.
"Did she sneak out?"
"Unlikely, number one, she simply couldn't have known the ship's time. Second, she couldn't have known that we had changed ships. β
How could this explain the familiar feeling of Elchea? β
At this moment, a discordant knock on the door interrupted the conversation.
"The owner of the ship, please go to the captain's quarters once. He seemed to have a bad premonition. β
Arriving at the captain's quarters, the owner was talking to the captain. The face was covered with clouds.
It turned out that after setting sail at dusk, the captain saw that the clouds on the horizon were getting lower and lower, and with his many years of sailing experience, this was the rhythm of the storm. The owner's joints also began to hurt, indicating that it was going to rain heavily. Not only because of money, but also because the captain and owner had a premonition, so they were in a hurry to set sail. I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"So, please predict how to avoid this crisis. β
"Report, a stowaway was found in the underground cargo hold, please dispose of it. The boatswain suddenly appeared and took a little girl with a backpack on his back.
"How did you get up, Achea?" cried out Los Angeles.
"You know?"
"She's my sister. Ollie replied.
"Since it's Sister Ling, it can't be regarded as smuggling. The captain laughed. "Just ......"
"If there's any heavy work on board, you can tell as much as you can. Los Angeles replied.
"I can help too. Suna hurriedly continued.
"That's it. The captain still had the same fox-like expression, "Please, about the storm." β
Ollie touched the crystal ball. A ship appears in the crystal ball, undulating with the waves under a storm. Suddenly, the hull of the ship flashed with countless golden stars, the storm disappeared, and everything around it returned to normal, calm and calm as if nothing had happened.
"This ......" the owner of the ship could not understand.
"Maybe it's a miracle. Ollie couldn't tell. But at least certainly, there was nothing dangerous about the ship.
"Prepare everything, tie up the cargo tightly, and put away the sails. "These are the most conventional ways to deal with a storm.
Ollie exchanged rooms with Suna. Elchea is with Suna to take care of her.
In the middle of the night, a storm came. As demonstrated in the crystal ball, the ship was thrown into the air and thrown into the sea.
Everyone hid in the room, clinging to the fixtures.
Suddenly, Elchea opened her backpack, pulled out a bottle of potion, and rushed out the door.
Suna panicked, such a bump was something that Elchea could bear, and quickly chased her out to pull her back to the room.
Astonishingly, Elchea ran fast in the rocking boat, as if on flat ground. Soon it was gone.
Suddenly, the storm stopped, as if it had never happened before. It's exactly the same as the one on the crystal ball.
When Suna caught up with Elchea, she was already asleep at the bow of the boat, and Suna carried her back to her room. But she didn't notice the empty bottle not far away.
While everyone was celebrating the storm, Elchea was still asleep. He seems to have a sweet smile in his sleep.
Suna kissed her lightly on the forehead.
The next day, early in the morning, Ollie made another crystal ball prophecy. It's just that everything is calm and you can sail safely.
"Do you want to send my sister back?" asked Los Angeles.
"I'm afraid it's hard. I prophesied that while there is no storm in Torondoni right now, it will have to go through the storm to get back. The storm was much bigger than expected. If you want to go back, you have to go through the strongest rain band. It was even more violent than last night's, and the prophesied waves were 20 meters high, so it was easy to blow the boat into the air and then fall apart. If I had to make it back, all I could see was pitch black. β
"I can't go back, I've run out of holy incense oil. "Acea is awake," and she's running out of crafting materials. And she also told her brothers about the use of the holy sesame oil.
After listening, Suna gently stroked her long hair, "Thank you." β
Ollie supported Acea's statement, and in the absence of holy oil, going back would undoubtedly be to die, and to take the lives of a boatload of people.
"At least today there is no crisis. The real crisis began half a month after the departure of the voyage and continued until the New World. However, it is said that the owner had a rubbing of the navigation charts on the Toronia, which he had bought from the black market for 2 gold coins. β
"It's so cheap, it can't be fake. β
"The original price was 500, but then it was pressed to 200, and finally suddenly the gendarme appeared, and in order to escape, only 2 gold coins were charged. β
"Maybe there's a chance to see it, and then I can predict the safest route. "As the only lifesaver on the whole ship, Ollie really knows a lot.
The other side.
Since yesterday, the Lord's Mansion has been a mess. The lord's adopted daughter, Achea, suddenly disappeared, along with his bulging little backpack. The room was on the third floor, and it was half-crippled if it jumped, and there were no trees to climb around. It was as if Elchea had disappeared into thin air.
From noon, the entire Lord's Mansion was searching for Elchea. At night, it spreads to the whole city. All in vain, for Elchea had already boarded the ship to the New World, and she was using the Sacred Oil to dispel the storm.
The days of sea navigation with water and water have passed day after day. Every morning, Ollie would make a prediction of the captain's room for today's voyage.
In addition to learning his own skills in his free time, Los Angeles helps the sailors row and sail. Even the smelly and dirty work of dumping excrement. Suna helped with the mending. When a sailor catches fresh seafood, Elchea will come to help make some delicious dishes. That's when the boat gets up and down and celebrates. In her hands, sea poison insects ---- a highly poisonous fish can be turned into delicious and delicious, and there is no danger to life or discomfort. Ollie could still vividly recall the sad expressions on the sailors' faces when Los Angeles was the first to eat the sea poison worms that had been processed by Elchea to cook. But after that time, the sailors fell in love with this highly poisonous sea fish. Common in their words, the meat is delicious. Of course, this is all due to Miss Achea. Soon, she became the most popular figure on the ship.
Not only the sailors, but also the guests on the private voyage had great respect for Achea. Many people began to get seasick after a few days of sailing, vomiting incessantly, and even their stomachs were about to vomit. Achea concocts a seasickness medicine made from seaweed, which is extremely effective and lasts for several days. Although there is a large fee to be charged, more people spend money to buy peace than they do to suffer sin. Gradually, the waist bag bulged up, and the backpack suffocated.
While making potions, Elchea often hummed a nursery rhyme she had learned at the Career Laboratory. It's roughly hummed by an apprentice-level craftsman, and the lyrics are roughly, I'm a little craftsman, and I'm going to make that new material into a new toy. I've done it again and again, and my skills are improving, and oh my lunch hasn't been eaten yet.
She seems to like the song very much. They are also infected, and sometimes they can't help singing.
The days of peace and tranquility passed day by day. Half a month later, he finally left the offshore sea, sailed into the open sea, and continued to sail towards the New World.
