Chapter 13 Floating Boats
"Huh", the gate slowly closed in front of the five people, separating the inner and outer squares again.
"Let's go. Catherine turned around, her long black hair fluttering in the wind: "Our journey is about to begin, come on everyone." ”
"Come on!" the four girls, with their hands folded together, shouted energetically, "for a new mission!"
"Several, a few professionals. Behind the four girls, a girl's weak voice asked, "Are the professionals also travelers?" If so, please enter the warehouse as soon as possible, we are about to leave. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry. Catherine raised her head and showed an apologetic smile: "I've kept you waiting, we're going to enter the warehouse, may I ask ...... you?"
What appeared in front of several people was a human girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, not pretty in appearance, but also fresh and cute, the girl was wearing a special maid outfit, her hands were folded in her lower abdomen, and her standing posture was very standard, but she always lowered her head shyly, and did not dare to look up at people easily. The girl noticed that Catherine's gaze turned around, and two blushes immediately appeared on her face, her head drooped lower, and she said in a very small voice: "I, my name is Maggie, yes, yes, I am the full-time attendant of several adults on this trip, and I, I, I will always be responsible for serving several adults during the journey of ten days." ”
"Oh, oh, thank you so much. Catherine smiled at Maggie soothingly: "Then in the next ten days, I will work hard for you, Sister Maggie, now please lead the way." ”
"Yes, yes, please come with me. Maggie turned around shyly and leaned half-sideways to guide the way for a few people: "Please go this way, the entrance to the boarding boat is here." ”
Following Maggie, the group quickly found the entrance to their target. In front of everyone was a large ship four hundred meters long and nearly two hundred meters wide at its widest position, yes, a large ship parked on land. The group was walking towards the boarding entrance from the fold of the bilge of the large ship.
"Hey, where's Mr. Pannis?" Until this time, Freya couldn't see Pannis's shadow as she wished, and couldn't help asking, "I saw him when I came just now, why can't I see anyone now?" ”
"I'm scared away by you. Lina was holding a thick novel in her arms, with a pair of flat glasses on the bridge of her nose, and then pushed the glasses, and said a little gloomily: "Look at you, he is so scared that he doesn't even dare to participate in the mission, what a powerful deterrent this is, you should be proud." ”
"Who would believe that kind of nonsense. Freya replied nonchalantly, but still looked around: "Strange, where will he go?"
"On it. Catherine pointed to the top of her head, "Look there." ”
"How did he get there?" said the boat, which was twenty meters high, and at twenty meters above it, Pannis poked his head out of the side of the ship and waved to the girls. Freya was stunned: "I remember that the ticket is still in your hands, eldest sister, it's not easy for him to sneak in." ”
"I've gotten used to it after spending a lot of time with him. Catherine smiled a little bitterly and said, "It won't surprise me that he can go anywhere at any time, and you will have a habit of one day after all." ”
"It's always a sad habit, but I'd rather never get used to it. Freya clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes flashed, and she said affectionately: "Don't you think, you may see him anywhere at any time, you may meet him at any time, you can look forward to his appearance at any time, autumn afternoons, summer nights, early spring when flowers bloom, and cold winters with snow, you can look forward to meeting at any time, and ...... at any time." ”
"Bang. Vivien's staff will always be the weapon to finish Freya: "You're so noisy, give me a serious walk." ”
Pannisy on the boat waved his hand, and jumped down the side of the ship under Maggie's frightened gaze, the height of twenty meters is not enough to cause damage to high-level professionals, Pannis rolled on the ground to dissolve the momentum of the fall, and showed a big smile to the girls: "Yo, you guys are finally here, I was impatient to wait, and then fell asleep." ”
"First, first, sir. Maggie plucked up her courage and said in a dissatisfied but cowardly tone: "It is not allowed to jump from above, and our association is responsible for the safety of every guest who boards the ship with a ticket, so please don't trouble us." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Pannis waved his hand absently and said, "I boarded the ship without a ticket just now, so I'm not a guest, and I don't need you to be responsible for safety, hahaha." ”
"Isn't that worse? Boarding without a ticket is strictly forbidden, sir, and you have to reflect on it. Maggie blushed, waved her hands in a panic and whispered: "The number of people on board the ship is carefully calculated and weighted, and any unauthorized behavior on the ship will cause danger to the whole ship, and it must not be done again." ”
"Rest assured. Pannis smiled: "So you see, didn't I come down, and if I board the ship with a ticket again, it won't be considered a ticketless boarding, right?"
"But, but......" Maggie always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what to say in a panic, and she puffed out her face and didn't say a word.
"Okay, if you don't get on the boat, the boat will leave. Pannis pointed to the entrance to the cabin and said, "I apologize, let's go." ”
"Really. Maggie's helplessness and shyness subsided a lot, but the full amount turned into depression, and she walked ahead with a pout, and said as requested: "The passengers' tickets are for a total of five, and the weight of the luggage is ...... Hey, is there a mistake here, eight hundred kilograms?"
"That's right, that's the number. Catherine said, "Our luggage is heavier, well, heavier than ourselves." ”
"Oh, the numbers are right. Maggie scratched her head suspiciously, and continued to whisper: "Since the guests have arrived, then I will be responsible for leading everyone to board the ship, and during the boarding process, I will give you a brief introduction to this trip." ”
"Our association, whose full name is the Flight Transport Association, was created by the collaboration of two communities: the Chamber of Commerce and the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. Maggie was very proud of the name of her association, and even her voice was much louder: "The association is responsible for the operation of only four floating ships in the world, which have been in operation for 100 years, and have been well received by all customers for 100 years. ”
"Look, this is one of the four floating ships, costing 10 million gold coins, and the Jeff has been in use for ten years now. All floating ships are made of rare and exotic metals, and there are 127,000 magic circles engraved inside and outside the ship, which are charged by thirty low-level mages and more than a thousand medium-capacity spars, and the maximum passenger capacity can be as high as one hundred and sixty people. ”
"Five guests, welcome aboard the Jeff and spend ten to fifteen days with us. Entering the cabin, Maggie, although still shy, said happily: "First of all, Maggie, I will take the guests to check the rooms where they live these days." According to the records, the five people who purchased the highest amount, that is, the service of 10,000 gold coins each, oh, a few people are really powerful, and they have such great achievements at such a young age. ”
"Don't talk about it. Catherine said with a dissatisfied face: "I wanted to go by land, but it turned out that an eventful person had to ...... Forget it, someone else pays anyway. ”
In fact, as Catherine said, the group had planned to travel overland to Lampfish City to join Lanna, but the day after Lanna and the others left, Catherine's creditor, Marquis Snape, suddenly appeared in the City of Knowledge. According to Marquis Snape's explanation, he was going to the southern part of the Mountain Country, bordering the Sea Country, to investigate the mountain city, so he had to go back to the City of Knowledge first, and then set off on a floating boat, which was the fastest way. When the Marquis of Snape secretly learned the news of Catherine's promotion from Pannith, who he had secretly invited to meet privately, he was no different from being mad, smashed seventeen or eighteen crystal products, and kept his personal caregivers busy for a while, so he asked Pannis for advice, and then invited the five to sail with him on the float under the pretext of hiring the party to protect them along the way. It's called protection, but it's actually a disguised luxury air trip that takes five people to enjoy ten days together, which can be regarded as a way to relax and unwind. Catherine was very helpless, knowing Marquis Snape's intentions, she didn't want to accept Snape's kindness anymore, but Snape moved out of the reason that her safety was not guaranteed, so Catherine could only give in and follow his arrangement to take the ten days of vacation together.
Catherine's reaction made Maggie stunned, and she skipped the topic a little awkwardly, and continued: "Since your ticket price is the highest, your room for the five of you is on the second floor closest to the deck, and it is one of the most luxurious suites on the ship, with the best service and comfort, you will definitely love it." ”
"Look at this level, this is the top floor, and the deck is above. This is a restaurant where ten chefs are serving you day and night, whether you want to be in the restaurant, in the room, on the deck, you can make requests to the waiter, and the waiter will do his best to meet your service. ”
"This is the dance venue, and there is a dance party here every night. The roof here can be opened and transformed into a roof made of clear crystal. Every night, everyone can bask in the light of the stars and enjoy the fun of the open-air dance party here. ”
"This is the casino, there is the concert hall, there are taverns, game rooms, botanical gardens, in short, you can find almost any entertainment you want to enjoy on this floor. Then, go down the stairs and you'll find the guest rooms below. There are only eight rooms on the top floor, and four of them are booked for this trip, and your neighbor is ...... I'll take a look at ......."
"It's Marquis Snape, I don't have to look at it. Catherine sighed, "Take us to the guest room, thank you." ”
"Okay. Maggie led everyone a short distance and opened a door: "This is the room for the five, I hope you enjoy it." (To be continued.) )
