Chapter 20: Set Sail for the Kingdom of Orlante

In the endless blue sea, twenty bloated Chinese Daifuku boats are lined up and are heading north along the coast, according to the nautical chart.

On a boat in the middle, at the bow, a young man with short black hair, wearing a cool linen shirt on his upper body and a pair of blue silk beach pants with rough workmanship, was lying on the side of the boat, vomiting towards the sea.

This young man is Lin Jue, who sailed for the first time, and was seasick without accident.

"It's been a bad few days!" he couldn't help but sigh when he was finally able to speak.

Lin Yuezheng stood beside him and asked softly, "Brother, are you better?"

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my brother is strong, my goal is the stars and the sea, it's not so easy to fall into the wind and waves, vomit ......"

Lin Yue was a little at a loss, obviously, after six years of wandering alone (at least four of them were sleeping), he still had no experience in taking care of people.

Lin Jue squatted on the ground with his whole body paralyzed, calming down the tumbling rivers and seas in his stomach. Thinking of the experience of the past few days, I can't help but sigh: "Why am I so unlucky recently?"

Two days ago, Lin Jue, Lin Yue, and Fenix, two people plus a bird, were forcibly taken away by a group of officers and soldiers, and were taken to Dali Temple of the Yan Empire. Well, the person is beautiful, high-powered, and young, and he is simply a standard white rich beauty. Of course, this has to remove the fact that you are framed yourself.

It turned out that on the day when the three of them went shopping in Splendid City, there was an explosion accident in the southeast corner of Splendid City. If it is an ordinary explosive explosion accident, I am afraid that it will not be bothered to move the great god of Dali Siqing, the problem is the key to this accident, the place where it was blown up is the Yan Empire Silver Casting Division, with this explosion accident, the Silver Casting Division stole one million taels of silver.

Under the investigation of this Dali Siqing, it was found that the target had entered the Ling Pavilion to hide, so she directly led her troops to block the gate of the Ling Pavilion. Just as they were about to enter the Spirit Pavilion to search, it was a coincidence that Lin Jue and the three of them happened to walk out of the Spirit Pavilion. And beside him, Xiao Lin Yue, who was wearing a pair of Western glasses, was imprinted in Lu Haoyue's eyes. Well, after all, in the whole Splendid City, people who wear such a strange thing as Western glasses, you may not be able to find one if you wander around the streets of Splendid City for a month. Moreover, almost all of the other party's scarce clues pointed to Lin Yue, so according to his profound experience in handling cases, the suspect was naturally locked on Lin Yue, and Lin Jue and Fenex naturally became accomplices and were taken away together.

In the solemn and depressing place of Dali Temple, the three of them were served with good wine and food for a day in trembling and asked a lot of questions. The three Lin Jue, who were wronged, naturally couldn't answer anything. As a result, the three were pushed into the torture chamber and looked at the leather whip, candles...... Ah no, it's chili water, tiger chairs and other things neatly arranged, as well as the black-red traces formed by blood coagulation in that place, as well as the bursts of fishy smell that hit his face, Lin Jue's bones were soft at that moment, this is the rhythm of torture to extract confessions!

Just when his hands and feet were tied by chains, the leather whip in the executioner's hand was already crackling, Lin Jue's tears flowed out, and when he shouted for his mother to help, he suddenly rushed in a brocade guard, showed a pure gold waist card, and forcibly ordered himself to be released.

It turned out that on the same day, when the three of them were shopping, they were accompanied by Jinyi Wei to protect them, and when they saw the three people being arrested, all the Jinyi guards were blinded. They are also very helpless, if the ordinary officials arrest the three of them, it will be something that they can do with a word, but it is Dali Siqing who arrests people, and they can't afford to offend. So, it took a day to delay, report it layer by layer, and only after the accompanying Jinyiwei testified that the release order was obtained. It is estimated that this is still due to the name of the Orlante Kingdom, and bureaucracy kills people! Although people did not die, Lin Jue almost scared off a layer of skin.

When he was released, Lin Jue didn't dare to stay here anymore. Just kidding, what if the smiling tiger (tigress) suddenly feels that it is still important to handle the case selflessly and arrests herself? Anyway, the task of this trip has been completed, and he took the gifts he purchased and a large number of oriental specialties, and hurriedly evacuated early the next morning.

As a result, Lin Jue, who was seasick in less than two hours at sea, is now lying on the side of the boat with a whole body paralyzed, vomiting into the sea.

"Hmm...... You should vomit a few more times to get used to it, right?" Fenex stood helplessly near the rudder, holding her chin, staring at Lin Jue with a depressed expression.

The weather this morning was not good, although there was no sign of rain, but the sea was full of fog, and the visibility was very low, and the naked eye could only see less than 100 meters. The fleet was heading north on a course that would not come unexpectedly.

"No, I feel it again. Lin Jue hurriedly stood up and lay on the side of the boat again under Lin Yue's panicked gaze, but this time he only retched for a moment and didn't react.

"Huh, this is ......" Lin Jue, who was lying on the side of the boat, saw some broken wooden planks and barrels floating on the sea, passing through the gap between the boats. This scene, in a movie I've seen before, seems to be a shipwreck nearby.

Lin Jue stabilized the uncomfortable feeling, stood up straight, walked towards the bow of the ship, came to the bow of the ship, and stopped to look ahead.

There seemed to be something in the fog ahead, and the ship continued to move forward at a constant speed, more and more broken planks and barrels floating on the sea, and a black rectangular piece of cloth. As the distance got closer and closer, this black piece of cloth finally revealed its true face. A white skull tattooed on it is a pirate flag!

A large plank floated next to the pirate flag, and a blonde figure was lying motionless on the plank, drifting with the current.

Lin Jue muttered in his heart: "Tsk... This girl...... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ”

"Hey, someone has fallen into the water!" Lin Jue shouted.

The sailors nearby, including those from several nearby ships, all heard Lin Jue's call, glanced at the sea in front of them, and shouted: "Someone has fallen into the water!

"Rope!"

"Quick, put the dinghy!"

The sails of several nearby ships were immediately put away, and the ships in the distance received the news a little late, but they also put the sails away in time. The ship was bustling with activity, and the sailors were moving one after another, including those who collected sails, those who anchored, those who pulled ropes, those who put small boats, and those who observed the sea conditions, each performing their duties.

As time passed, as the dense fog on the sea began to dissipate slightly, the visibility became wider and wider, and looking at the messy sea, judging from the situation at the scene, there should have been a naval battle nearby, perhaps a merchant ship was looted by a pirate ship.

The ship's first mate came to Lin Jue and reported: "My lord, after searching, we found a total of six survivors, five men and one woman, all of whom are still alive, but all of them are unconscious. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Place them well, and notify me as soon as they wake up." ”

Looking at the still busy figure on the deck, Lin Jue secretly said in his heart: "A world still dominated by theocracy, fraud, torture to extract confessions, no human rights, and pirates are around. Countries can use all means to restrain each other in their own interests. In just two months, I'm afraid I've experienced all this time and again, except for the war. ”

The fleet was already full sails and moving forward in the direction of the wind. Lin Jue was lying on the bow of the ship, Lin Yue was still guarding the side, he looked at the skyline gradually revealed in the distance, and the sea surface as smooth as a mirror, and sighed softly: "I can only say that the place I crossed is too peaceful." On the surface, it is peaceful, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and it seems that the world may not be as peaceful as I imagined. ”
