Chapter 55: Stay

In the night breeze, the sails were blown high, and the whistle hanging at the back of the big ship sounded for a long time, and several big ships sounded in unison, and then the anchor was lifted at the same time, and the big ships lined up in a line, slowly sailing towards the deep sea side.

The fog on the sea is deeper than on land, and the white expanse is impossible to see, but the great ships of the other world ignore these and are still sailing. The draft of the ship is very deep, and more than a dozen layers of cabins are immersed in water, but the part that is exposed to the sea is still so high that you need to look up. Due to the weight of the big ship itself, the boat sailed extremely steadily, and the waves several meters high crashed against the side of the string, and it could not cause large bumps. The sharp bow of the ship rode the wind and waves, leaving a white trail on the sea.

Steward Wang took An Xiaoqi and prepared to go to his cabin to rest, because the ship was temporarily recruited, so the captain arranged for the first mate to act as a guide. This first mate is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a bright bald head, a face full of flesh, and a fierce face. Wearing a black hexagram on her upper body, sinus pants on her lower body, her calves are exposed, and a long knife hanging from her waist, looking at her appearance, she is clearly a pirate. Xiao Qi was startled when he first saw it, and secretly said that this was on the thief ship, but was whispered by Steward Wang: Due to the lack of time, Silver Leaf Grass spent a lot of money to recruit the Black Shark fleet, and before that, the Black Shark fleet was indeed a famous pirate fleet on the sea.

An Xiaoqi couldn't help but take a few more looks, only to see the first mate's scarred bald head shining under the light of the glowing spar; seeing Xiao Qi looking at her, the first mate laughed at his waist, and his mouth full of black teeth shook Xiao Qi's dog eyes; looking at Xiao Qi's shocked appearance, the first mate shook his body with laughter, and in her happy shaking, An Xiaoqi was horrified to find that there was only one of her heaviness, and the other was missing.

Steward Wang hurriedly whispered a reminder beside him: The first mate is a northern berserker, so there is a tradition of cutting off one and offering it to the gods, don't stare at it, it's rude. Xiao Qi hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again, muttering to himself: Isn't this similar to the tradition of some Vikings?

The first mate didn't blame Xiao Qi for his rudeness, in fact, the people who saw the berserker for the first time basically behaved like this, not to mention that Xiao Qi was still a handsome guy - she still enthusiastically introduced the situation on the ship to Xiao Qi and the others.

"Our Black Shark ships are all of a unified system, with traditional wind power and magic crystal power, two power drives, and the front and middle sides are masts full of sails. This mast can carry up to 400 sails, and with the power of the wind alone, it can generate more than 40,000 Haote energy and sail at extremely fast speeds. ”

"At the back of the ship, a magic crystal furnace is installed, which can be compatible with various grades and properties of hedron energy from obsidian to divine stone, and can provide 80,000 Haote energy when running at full capacity. You can imagine how fast the ship would have been under that huge propulsion - it would have been windy enough, and it didn't drive to save hedrons. ”

"As for the carrying capacity of the ship. Hehe, you have also seen that a thorny beast is scattered on the ship, and it is only a little more draft, which shows the loading performance of the ship, and besides, how much cargo you have transported, you should know better than me, so I will not talk nonsense. ”

"The ship is divided into six main sections. Not to mention the small ones, just to say the big ones, there are watertight compartments, cargo compartments, animal compartments, servant compartments, sailor cabins, there is no shortage of all that should be, as long as you are well prepared, even if you sail for a star year in a row, there is no problem...... It's far away, then again, young master, you live on the first floor below the bridge, a good VIP warehouse - to tell you the truth, it was the first officer's room before, that is, where I lived, hehe!"

The first mate was as straight as she looked, and seemed to be very straightforward as she went, but if you looked closely, you could see that she said almost nothing about the experience of the fleet, and apparently kept all the unseen private things well. Xiao Qi naturally wouldn't expose it, but only followed the uh-huh-hmm-ah-ah smile, very polite and polite.

It can be seen that the first mate has a high prestige on this ship, and when the sailors see her, they will put down their work and greet her. Even the sailors on the deck who climb high masts to look out, or the sailors on deck who control the dense, cobweb-like bridles, greet each other in a peculiar way, smacking their little fists on the chest and making a muffled noise.

Just looking at this way of greeting, Xiao Qi had a feeling of tightness in his chest: If this is a pirate conference, won't saying hello all of them be injured? Obviously, the people of the two major families think about the same as him, and the guards look at the etiquette of these pirates, their eyes are full of disdain, and the servants are desperately speeding up their pace-being looked at by these pirates like hungry wolves, it is really heart-wrenching.

An Xiaoqi, as the protagonist of the marriage, traveled in full costume, so he naturally endured the most baptism of gaze. But he is not one of those delicate men from another world, but an authentic old driver of Autumn Famous Mountain, so he can be at ease. The first mate could not tolerate the continuation of this situation, and she knew too well what a group of women who were accustomed to pirates could do to a scarce man on the unfettered sea: if something impolite happened to him, it would be bad to affect the income of the trip. The first mate put his hand in his mouth, whistled sharply, attracted all the attention of the sailors, raised a hand high, and shouted in a loud voice: "Don't neglect our guests, come and sing!" Sisters, sing ~up~come~~"

The pirates grinned and sang at the top of their voices: "When the sky shines, and the sea breeze blows on my face, the time to set sail will come again, bid farewell to the newly married man, and embark on an unknown journey, how I hope that I can step on the earth again, the lord of the pirates bless us, and the storm will be far away from us......."

The gossip of singing gradually converged, and the desolate and heroic voice spread far and wide on the surface of the sea.

Xiao Qi listened to the pirates' singing with great interest, walked to the middle of the ship, went down the stairs, entered the inner cabin, and just around the corner, he arrived at the 'VIP cabin' where he was staying.

The room was not large, less than thirty square meters, but it was very neat, with a bed and a table, and a large window near the side of the ship, and nothing else. The illumination source is overhead, and the white hedron covered by the lampshade emits a bright beam of light like an incandescent lamp. Steward Wang pushed open the window, and the sea breeze with the smell of the tide blew into the house, and the singing of the upper deck was heard from afar.

An Xiaoqi walked to the side of the bed and tried to sit down: it was very soft and comfortable. The bedding on the bed, pillows, etc., look new, embroidered with all kinds of flowers and plants, beautiful but beautiful, but slightly feminine.

The big bed was nailed firmly to the ground, no matter how big the wave was, An Xiaoqi patted the head of the bed with satisfaction, but accidentally found that something fell from the rivet on the ground at the head of the bed, which was stuck in the gap, he reached out and picked it up from the ground, looked at it slightly, and his eyes were round.

It was a half-nunchuck-like thing, An Xiaoqi shook it for a while, and it was quite elastic - didn't this be what it was?

The first mate's expression became very strange, and he quickly took the half of the nunchuck from Xiao Qi's hand, sniffed it heavily in An Xiaoqi's surprised eyes, carefully held it in his arms, and said without shyness: "We often go to sea for a few months, and many times we don't have a spouse, so it's inevitable to be lonely, so I've also prepared a.... I said why can't I find it today, it turned out that I fell here, thank you young master. ”

Looking at the steward Wang next to him, his face was green, and he looked angry, and his face complemented the 'little green hat' standing opposite, while the 'little green hat' had already covered his face shyly and turned his head, leaving only the experienced little fat man still watching, but he looked like he wanted to laugh with his mouth covered.

The well-informed Xiao Qi was not embarrassed, but felt that this was human nature, and smiled faintly; the first mate and Xiao Qi made eye contact, but they only raised their eyebrows, and then resumed their casual expression, and shouted outside the door: "Little ones, serve the food! Don't let the young master go hungry!"

Outside the door, several women entered the room with plates. The freshly baked attendants, all of whom had experience in serving people, were very sensible enough to take the dishes brought by the female pirates at the door, and carefully placed them on the table, and when the metal lid was lifted, a fragrance came out of the face, and the steam wafted up like a mist.

A dozen or so plates were opened one by one, and Xiao Qi recognized them one by one, and there were shrimp, crabs, snails, squid, oysters, and razor clams;

Xiao Qi lived by the sea for a period of time before crossing, and naturally there was no shortage of seafood he had eaten. Shrimp and crabs are not unusual, but I have never seen those fish. However, there are many marine animals, and this is another world, so it's normal not to recognize them. It's just that those fish have long whiskers, strange heads, and don't look amazing, and they don't seem to be delicious.

He was not polite, and took a knife and fork to cut a piece and put it in his mouth. When he tasted it, he was surprised: the fish meat was tender and delicious, melted in the mouth, and the taste was rare for him to see in his life. As soon as he ate it, he couldn't stop, so he scooped all the fish into his stomach in three or two clicks.

Steward Wang saw that he was proficient in using knives and forks, and he was a polite eater, so he nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his previous etiquette training was not in vain. Hurriedly signaled a few escorts next to him, and the little fat man helped Xiao Qi peel the shrimp shell, remove the crab shell, and serve the young master to eat.

didn't wait for Steward Wang's words of encouragement, but Xiao Qi couldn't hold back his temperament, so he reverted. He threw his knife and fork aside, and couldn't wait to peel up the shrimp and crab by himself, and stuffed it into the sea, with a fierce posture like the animal world! Steward Wang looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground in frustration.

I'm so hungry, I can't enjoy eating like this! Xiao Qi glanced at Lao Wang obliquely, and thought disappreciatively: Boys just want to eat in big gulps! In the past, when I was at the farmhouse, Uncle God of Food liked my appearance the most, and I was so hypocritical when I came to you, how unhappy! He grabbed the fine white bread in his hand with his bare hands, wrapped it in a circle of jam, and put it in his mouth.

"Young master, boys really can't eat like this, they are very uneducated, and they will be laughed at!"

"We know you're hungry, but you can't be hungry, boys have to pay attention to their manners. ”

"When we used to learn etiquette, if we dared to act so rudely, we had to be whipped. ”

Lao Wang was so angry that Xiao Qi couldn't speak, and motioned for a few escorts to come up, so several male escorts walked around An Xiaoqi to persuade him in turn, and used his own personal experience to show up and explain. Xiao Qi ate until he was full with the fire of the trolls, and then he elegantly wiped his hands with a napkin, picked up the knife and fork again, and ate in small bites. It seems that his nobility is not violated at all, and his demeanor has always been so outstanding.

Steward Wang was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Xiao Qi and trembled and said, "Little... Young master, you are angry with me! I have to smash this old bone in your hand!"

It took a long time for Lao Wang to pat his chest and breathe evenly. Of course, as a third-level warrior, Lao Wang will not be much stimulated and hit by this kind of thing, and her performance is just to shorten the distance in order to better communicate with Xiaoqi, and she and An Xiaoqi both know this. After the meal, Xiao Qi washed his hands in the basin, and Lao Wang politely reminded on the side: "Young master, there is still a point before going to sleep, according to the plan, you need to learn the lingua franca of the human race, here is a primary textbook of the lingua franca, we start with the most basic alphabet." ”

A point in time is an otherworldly unit of time, and one point in time is approximately equal to two hours on Earth. There are still two hours of study time after the meal, which is a huge burden for Xiao Qi, who has just opened his eyes today. But learning the lingua franca is obviously very important, Xiao Qi had to fight his spirit, run his chaotic and confused brain, and start learning with Steward Wang.

The lingua franca of the Terrans of the Otherworld, there are thirty-five letters in the alphabet alone, and these letters also have phonetic transcriptions for sounding, in general, it is more complicated. Obviously, learning a different language is not so easy. But for An Xiaoqi, whose mind is already enough and has been strengthened several times, it is not so difficult, if the state is normal, then the memory of thirty-five letters will not take long at all.

Unfortunately, this is a special case. Soon, Xiao Qi felt that he couldn't open his eyes, as if a lullaby sounded in his ears, and the already crooked and distorted characters on the book soon became blurry; he rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he became more and more sleepy, and finally he couldn't support it, tilted twice, planted his head on the book, and lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Steward Wang looked up to the sky and sighed, and helplessly commanded a few escorts, carefully carried Xiao Qi to the bed, and pulled down the curtain. She looked at Xiao Qi's pink handsome face and sweet sleeping face through the gauze tent, and secretly shook her head, thinking: "It is said that handsome men are brainless! Looking at you like this, I shouldn't have expectations for your mind! Forget it, let's take one step at a time, it is a blessing to be able to complete the engagement process." ”

Xiao Qi slept peacefully on the bed, with the sound of water in his ears, and sweet saliva in his sleep: How delicious that fish is, why don't you come to order it again? I want to eat ten pots! Several escorts trembled after listening to his whispers, raised their hands to turn off the spar energy, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, except for the one left behind tonight, the rest of the people consciously withdrew from the room.

The conditions were simple, and the little green hat had to find a corner, put on his bed, lay down smoothly, and secretly pondered his future fate: thinking about it, it is always a good thing to follow the kind young master and become a noble companion; Thinking so, the little green hat slowly closed her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
