Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter on the Deck
The Jeff float flew smoothly in the air, a huge sail hung on the mast of the floatship, and the air element gathered by magic jumped happily behind the sail, condensing into a fierce wind howling by, driving the float forward together. At the top of the mast, the birds stopped on the crossbar, looked curiously at the behemoth below, and expressed their questions with their chirps. The deck below the mast is covered with a magical barrier that separates the environment inside and outside the deck, leaving the space on the deck unaffected by the chaotic air currents outside.
"The sun is so nice. Catherine stepped out of the stairs of the cabin, shielded her hands from the sun, looked up at the clear blue sky as if it had been washed, and sighed: "No wonder everyone has a dream of flying in their hearts, it turns out that flying in the air feels so good, maybe it will really be addictive after a long time." ”
"I thought you were going to insist on getting off the boat. Pannis followed Catherine up and teased, "Snape is clearly trying to use a fait accompli to make you have to accept this stray trip, tsk." ”
"No kidding, how could I ask to get off the boat at such a time, it would be rude. Catherine glared at Pannis and said: "If I didn't accept the kindness of Grandpa Marquis Snape from the beginning and insisted on not getting on the ship, it could be regarded as self-reliance, but if I was obviously on the ship, whether I wanted to get on the ship or was deceived into getting on the ship, I was already on the ship anyway, and if I had to go down at this time, that kind of behavior would not only be contrived, but also very hurtful." I can still tell the difference between the two. So, since it's already here, let's have a good rest and have a good time in the past ten days. ”
At this time, Catherine was no longer equipped with sword and shield scale armor, but changed into a casual lace dress, the soft skirt fluttered in the wind, and set off her tall figure and slender legs. In addition to the skirt on the upper body, a light light blue silk vest was put on, a pair of arms were exposed, and the wheat-colored skin shone with a healthy glow.
"Well, that's glaring. As soon as Vivien stepped onto the deck, her eyes were flushed with the glare of the sun, and Pannis, who was in front of her, turned around and put sunglasses on her face, which made her feel relieved to get out of the cabin. Vivien took off her blue coarse cloth overalls and put on a loose black robe for scholars, but if you look closely, you can see that this robe has also been modified, and there are many pockets inside, and there must still be various potions inside. Vivien blinked behind her sunglasses and asked curiously, "You happen to be wearing sunglasses that fit my size?" ”
"Hey, hey. Pannis grinned and said nothing.
"You're sluggish. Lina pushed her glasses and walked out before Freya. The strange thing is that Lina doesn't know what she sees in the book, wearing a more androgynous outfit, gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a white top hat, with a cold expression and merciless words, but there is a strange charm. Lina snorted and said, "Apparently he estimated that you would be stimulated by the sun." But since he had already estimated it, why didn't he warn you in advance? ”
"Is that so, Pennis?" Vivien's gaze immediately became dangerous, glaring at Pannis and asking, "Explain." ”
"Haha, haha, haha. Pannis smiled dryly and took a few steps back, glaring at Lina, "Hey, why are you hurting me?"
"Oh?" Lina raised her eyebrows, raised her head to follow Catherine's example, and looked at the sky in the sunlight, "It's so nice today." ”
"You guys don't get in the way, I can't get out. "In all fairness, Freya does have a heart for weight loss, and it has been effective. During the time of the wedding, she had to turn sideways to get through the door in and out of the room, and now she no longer had to turn sideways when she came out of the cabin, which was a big improvement, of course, in the eyes of everyone in the party, this progress was far from enough. Freya's weapons and auxiliaries had been unloaded, but she was still wearing her oversized adventure leather armor and moved out of the cabin.
"Why don't you change into casual clothes?" Catherine asked, "It's better to take it easy during your vacation." ”
Freya glanced at Catherine with watery eyes, raised her gaze and looked up at the sky, just a lost Yunyan flew into the enchantment on the deck, Freya slowly raised her hand, and the tired Yunyan stopped on her hand, not afraid, very relaxed and began to comb the feathers with the beak. With a plaintive sigh, Freya whispered, "I...... Lost weight. ”
"Huh?" Everyone, even the timid and shy Maggie looked at Freya with wide eyes, everyone thought that they must have had problems with their ears because of the sudden arrival of a comfortable life.
"I've lost weight, and the casual clothes and dresses I brought are no longer suitable, so I should try them all before I go out. Freya said quietly: "Every day, every night, the thought of Mr. Pennis makes me thin in torment, and perhaps this is the price of love." However, I don't regret it, the taste of love should be like this, sweet and sour, melancholy in happiness, if possible......"
Vivien waved her hand habitually, but regrettably found that she didn't have the staff with her, frowned and bothered for a while, suddenly her eyes lit up, she raised her head and said to Pannis, "Pick me up." ”
"Huh?" said Pennis, who was stunned, and bent down to pick Vivien up like he had hugged Anne. Vivien weighed her height, nodded in satisfaction, and slammed her fist into Freya's head.
"It hurts. Freya habitually whimpered, crouched to the side with her head in her hands, and stopped speaking aggrievedly.
"There are quite a few people. Catherine ignored the nonsense of a few people, and looked out on the deck in the sun. The deck is very large, and on the deck of nearly 10,000 square meters, the most striking thing is that there is an open-air café closest to the entrance of the cabin. Each table is supported by a wide parasol, shielding the dazzling sunlight, and more than a dozen young and middle-aged passengers in cool and loose clothes sit on the recliner next to the table, wearing sunglasses, or reading alone, or talking to each other, or simply lying on the recliner to take a nap. The breeze blowing in through the windproof barrier is just the right size, and the cool wind blows on the skin, bringing a tingling sensation. Beyond the café was a four-sided pitch surrounded by metal nets, in which seven or eight little boys ran wildly to play dodgeball, and the children squandered their energy in sweat and laughter as the balls crashed against the metal nets.
In the distance, there is an observation deck for tourists, where interested passengers can climb high above the side of the ship and look out over the landscape for a once-in-a-lifetime view. But now that the observation deck is empty, it's clear that people don't want to go up in the morning when the sun is shining.
"Let's go have a drink. Catherine said, "I haven't drunk a drop of water in the morning, so take a good rest." ”
The open-air café doesn't have a lot of attendance, but the seats are interesting. Of the dozen or so guests, most of them sat on the left half, and only one sat alone on the right half, wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts, barefoot and coarse cloth shoes, half-lying in the shadow of the parasols, smiling at the adventure group that had just stepped out of the cabin. That's right, this man was chubby, with short hair standing up, a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a crooked slit, and a kind demeanor, and he greeted the five people from afar as they held up the cup soaked in ice cubes.
"This man ......," Catherine asked, turning back, "Maggie, this man must be someone from your ship." ”
"Yes, it's Lord River. Maggie looked at the smiling man with a very admiring gaze and said, "It's the Legendary-level master I mentioned, who is responsible for the safety of navigation every time." ”
"Sure enough. Catherine nodded thoughtfully and walked straight to River: "Since everyone has sent out invitations, let's go over and talk." ”
"Don't bother Lord River. Maggie stopped in a soft voice: "Lord River looks like he is basking in the sun on the deck every day, but he is actually guarding the floatboat, and he doesn't like it when someone disturbs him at this time, and he will be angry." ”
"It's okay, don't worry. Pannis smiled with relief: "He won't be angry this time, trust me." ”
The five of them slowly approached River's position, but he still lay in a daze as if he didn't see it at all, until everyone had already walked to the table, and then said with a smile: "Everyone sit casually, the leisure trip on the float boat is like this, there are not so many etiquette and rules, forget these and relax completely, this is the best way to enjoy this trip." ”
"Looks like you're enjoying flying around in the sky. Catherine thought about it, sat down half-lying down, closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds, and smiled: "Indeed, after relaxing, it is indeed different from just now." ”
"Of course, this is the experience I have summed up in the process of more than 30 escorts, hehehehe. River patted his stomach and laughed a few times, "If you want to drink something, Maggie will order it for you." Food, lodging and entertainment here are all included in the ticket, and unless special food and supplies are needed, not a single gold coin is required. ”
"Two glasses of iced ale, two glasses of sour grass juice on the rocks, and one glass of plain water. Catherine said, "Little sister Maggie, I'm sorry for you. ”
"Hey, big sister. Lying on the two side by side chaise longues, Freya said dissatisfiedly, "I want sour grass juice too." ”
"You?" Catherine squinted at Freya and sneered: "From now on, until your weight is reduced to less than a hundred kilograms, you will basically say goodbye to sweet drinks and food, when you meet my requirements, when will you give you sweets." ”
"How can this be?" Freya's eyes immediately turned red, "Why?"
"It was the decision of the regimental commander. Catherine leaned over with oppression and stared into Freya's eyes: "You are not allowed to have an opinion. ”
"Whew, you're all bullies. Freya shrank in the chaise longue bitterly and aggrievedly, with a sad face. (To be continued.) )
