Chapter 13: To the Strait of Calidos

Accepting Matthews' commission, Wings of Liberty spent two days rushing to the city of Wocheze, where Nabal and Mocha had boarded the Goshawk the day before to set up the tools and reserves needed to set sail, while the rest of the group waited for the moment of sailing in a bar near the port......

Shoey asks some of the drinkers in the bar about the Strait of Calidos, and the replies are all about the sinking of the wrecked ship, the ghost devouring the crew, and so on, so he and his companions discuss the safety of going to sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's not going to work...... Why does everyone say that the Strait of Calidos is an ominous place...... Are we going to go through there to find Garnif......" Shaw asked Sieg and Kagami uncertainly.

Concerned about these events, Sieg said, "Perhaps it is just groundless, but I think that the old pirate Nabal can be trusted to sail a ship, and that the task of dealing with ghosts can be entrusted to this knife in my hand." ”

"Don't be too confident, I think you should be well prepared, what do you say?

"Ah Jing is talking about common sense...... And Sieg was right, but why do you take that knife so seriously that you even take it with you to rest......" Shaw scratched his head and grumbled.

Sieg took off the leather wrist cover he was wearing on his left hand and rolled up the sleeves of his long coat, and saw that his entire left arm was covered with flame-shaped red marks, and he said to the two, "I won't tell you anything...... I lost all memories of the past, and my most recent memory was waking up near Zenda, and the reason for this strange imprint was the blood-stained left hand still holding the Sirius Slasher...... And in an accident, I found out that it has a consciousness of its own, so I always carry it. ”

“...... I am one of the forbidden blades left over from the primeval period, so it is not surprising that Su is conscious, so you don't need to be too surprised......" The wolf let out a low sound, and since it was a language close to humans, Xiao Yi and Kagami could hear it very clearly.

"Ahhh!!h

Xiao Yi fainted after standing in fright, and the two hurriedly sent her to a guest room to rest, and after settling down, Sig gasped and asked worriedly, "Whew...... Now I begin to understand her feelings about not wanting to go to the Strait of Calidos. ”

"Oops...... It seems so, and hopefully she won't feel disgusted by the knife...... Isn't it?Brother Sieg~"

"I'll try to keep it quiet, but of course it doesn't usually speak, unless it senses something. He held the Sirius Blade in his hand and flicked the razor-sharp blade with his fingers to kill time.

After a few hours of busyness, Shaw and the others received news from Nabal and Mo Mo Tea and came to the ferry where the Goshawk docked, where there were no other tourists for the time being, only a large number of fishermen pickling salted fish in their respective boats......

"Hey, Commander, it's finally here!"

Mo Cha came from behind the fish stall and reported to Xiao Yi: "At present, the Goshawk has enough food for forty people to eat for three months, and the old seal has prepared plenty of fresh water, but the weapons are ......."

Shoey looked at the Goshawk, for he had learned from Delacro what had happened to it, badly damaged by Pullmangaard's attack that day, but now it was completely new, with almost all the missing stern repaired, new sails and new bulkheads, ready to sail the sea again.

"Hmm~ the boat is good, can I go find some crew? The place to go this time is dangerous......" she proposed.

"It doesn't sound that hard, but I'm not good at it, right, so Barr went to the black market to buy arms, and I'll talk about it when he comes back?"

Footsteps came from the pedals of the ferry, and the voice of a young woman came into my ears......

"Hey, Captain Augst, here as promised!"

Shoey hurriedly turned around and found that Melva had arrived, accompanied by a large group of rough-looking men, all dressed as fishermen.

Lemuel, Samuel, and Raguil squeezed out of the crowd and said to Shoey, "I have known for a long time that the Goshawk can't do without the three of us! ”

The rugged men immediately straightened up and bowed to Shoey, and shouted in unison, "I would like to go to sea with Captain Nabal!

"Hah! I pinched my fingers and calculated that you would arrive!!"

Nabal laughed and returned to the port, with a few men carrying many carts of large crossbows and longbows and arrows, and other weapons and equipment, and asked them to load them on board, and came to Shoy himself to report: "Captain! Now the Goshawk is not short of men or weapons! When are you going to set sail?"

She looked at the crowd in front of her happily and said, "Sister Melva, please come to the boat to rest! Nabal and the three who eat white rice, report on the overall situation at present! Xige, Brother Cha, Ah Jing, and the fishermen's uncles should also go on the boat!"

After some of them had boarded the boat on the long ladder at the berth, only Nabal and three attendants were left at the ferry, and the four of them looked at each other, and Lemuel reported to Shoey: "The crew this time is twenty men, and all of them are experienced sailors, some of whom have served in the Nord navy!

"Oh...... Of course, Sister Melva is not short of money~ We save a sum of money, what about Barr? What about the goods that were customized by the blacksmith this time?" Shoey asked.

Nabal took out a list and read it aloud: "Well, two hundred iron throwing guns, three hundred large crossbows, fifty longbows, three thousand barbed feather arrows, fifty custom-made sniper crossbows, about two thousand crossbow arrows...... In the end, more than 50 sets of winter clothes were ordered from the tailor's shop, and 20 sets of nails were temporarily purchased, all of which cost more than 30,000 dinars, and only 30,000 yuan after the odd head was removed. ”

"Really...... Then I'm not going to pay!

Shaw was taken aback by the 30,000 expenses, and Nabal said, "It's nothing...... I sold all the treasures I hid, just to offset the expenses this time, anyway, now that I have done it with you, the head of the regiment, it is time to sell the things I robbed!"

"That's what you said, and now I'm declaring the Goshawk to be mine!" Captain Shoey August...... Sounds so domineering!~"

She laughed and came to the deck, where Nabal and Lemuel stayed there in a daze until Samuel pushed Nabal: "It's okay! You're someone's little brother anyway, I'm still the boatswain of the Goshawk, go quickly, or the captain will ...... The regimental commander is going to be angry. ”

"Uh...... Well, you're older than me this time, boatswain, first mate?" he said that caused the three of them to laugh, and the four good brothers high-fived and swore allegiance to the new Goshawk.

It was dusk, and the sea view was particularly spectacular in the setting sun, and when everything was ready, Shoy gave the order to set sail, and the well-sailed Goshawk put away its anchor, quickly turned its rudder and hoisted its sails, and sailed northeast with the wind......
