174 Dinner
readx;? The Sophia's restaurant is gorgeous because it was originally designed to accommodate thousands of people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You can see from the neatly stacked buffet counters, but they are all idle now, because the number of people on the Sophia is less than one-tenth of what it expected.
In addition to Ian, three others boarded the Sofia as non-crew members. In the past, that number would have increased at least a hundredfold. So much so that now all the crew members are dozens of times more than the passengers, so this restaurant is also empty, just a long table is placed in its center.
Under the expensive and ornate chandeliers, this long table looks unusually lonely in the empty dining room.
There were already seven people seated at the table, and Ian sat at the end with the young crew leading the way. Next to him was a fair-looking young man, but with long hair and a ponytail, he looked very charming.
"Hello, my name is Tim Shrek. The white young man smiled at Ian, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ian." ”
Ian was stunned: "You know me?"
"The first person to board the non-crew of the Sophia, of course I would like to inquire about your name. Tim laughed, "You're very courageous." ”
Tim speaks somewhat like a woman, giving people a sense of lightness and powerlessness. If it weren't for the fact that his huge Adam's apple was too masculine, Ian might have thought he was a woman, a woman who looked more like a man.
"It's just a boat, it's not a big deal. Ian replied copingly, his mind still in a mess. The dream just now really didn't make him feel at ease, even if the little boy smiled and admitted that he actually opened the door, after all, the dream just now was too real.
Sitting at the head of the table was Vincent, who looked up, and after making sure everyone was there, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, everyone is here, then dinner can begin." But before I begin, I would like to introduce myself, I, Vincent Yanxiu, am the captain of the Sophia. This is my deputy, first mate Hogel Rennes. ”
The first mate sitting on the side smiled and waved to the rest of the people, looking very cheerful. Ian noticed an inconspicuous sunflower embroidered on the sleeve of the first mate's coat. The style of the sunflower is the standard style of Alder in the alchemy city, and this discovery can't help but make Ian a little puzzled, could it be Alder's alchemist? But what does it mean to come here to be the first mate?
Then Vincent introduced the second mate, a taciturn big man, always with a black face, as if he owed him all the gold coins. His name was Murphys, and when Vincent introduced him, he also got up from his stool, his tall body like a small hill, and he did not sit back until Vincent had finished his introduction.
"Next up is our crew. Vincent pointed to the remaining crew members and said, "These just represent that it takes a lot of people to keep this huge ship running, and they can't leave their posts." In addition to this, there is another group of people who are sleeping, as they will take over the group that is now working during the day. You know what I mean, we are going to travel day and night to the island of Babylon. ”
The Island of Legends, Epilon.
Perhaps there are no people here who don't know about this island, and the reason why these people are sitting here is obviously for the sake of that island. Thinking of this, Ian began to look at the other three tourists, and Tim Shrek looked very cheerful, and he didn't know what he was doing alone. The other two are a short, white-haired old man and a tall, curly-haired woman.
Jumping out of neurosis, an old man entering the twilight of his life, and a beautiful woman. These three completely different types of people all appeared on this huge ship, and they knew that this journey was full of dangers.
It's all a bunch of weirdos.
Ian thought.
"Well, gentlemen, oh, there is one more lady, you may dine. By the way, this is our first and last dinner, and it is very time-consuming for a group of people to have dinner together every time. So, the dinner will be cancelled from tomorrow, just stay in your room and our crew will deliver a delicious meal. Vincent picked up his knife and fork, "Alright, that's it, the meal begins." ”
Ian was a little hungry, but he didn't have much appetite when he got to the table. Because there are all kinds of seafood on the table, these things are really difficult for him to swallow after eating too much from the mainland. After eating seafood for more than ten days in a row, he felt that his mouth was full of seafood smell.
He began to miss the pork, beef, and mutton of the inland.
But dinner still had to be eaten, and Ian could only pick up his knife and fork and start to deal with the seafood.
Perhaps because they were not familiar with each other, the four tourists did not speak, but the crew members exchanged words in twos and threes, but the topic was all about the woman, and the three men were ignored by them. Vincent chewed slowly on the food in his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking, just staring at an oil lamp on the table.
At that moment, a crew member came from outside and whispered something in Vincent's ear. Vincent nodded, and the crew member picked up a plate from the table and filled it with food before retreating.
"I forgot to tell you. Vincent swallowed the fish in his mouth and spoke again, "It's been a long journey, so in order not to get bored, all the places on the Sophia are open to you except for the basement and the power room, so you can go and play whatever you want." ”
Vincent paused and continued: "If you trespass into the power room and destroy the latest power of the Sophia, I think I'll just send you out to sea to feed the sharks, trust me to do it." And if you break into the basement, trust me too, I won't do anything to you, but I'm afraid you won't get out alive. ”
Vincent's words instantly made the atmosphere of this already inactive dinner party even colder. Ian only felt a cold wind blowing on his neck, making him shiver subconsciously, and he turned around to find a small window open behind him, and the cold wind pouring in from the sea was cold and biting.
The night is getting deep, and this epic giant ship is slowly sailing into the endless deep sea. Ian didn't know what was waiting for him.
