The old man calmly pointed in one direction and said, "Isn't that it?"

Little Peter turned his head to look in that direction, and saw a huge ship parked on a dock, where a large number of fleeing people gathered, all frantically trying to board the ship, but were stopped by a group of heavily armored soldiers, who formed three lines and two columns to completely block the direction in and out of the dock.

Little Peter couldn't help but be frustrated, "Of course I saw the ship, but are you sure we can board it, grandpa?"

William looked at the sky and interjected directly: "I think we have to board the ship soon, we have wasted a lot of time in the forest to avoid searching, and now if we can board the ship and set sail, it will be difficult to say if it is too late." ”

Little Peter confirmed the daylight, and then sighed, "Of course I know, Uncle William, but we may be late, and the boat will carry the other refugees who arrived first." What can we do now if we can't find a ship? ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his head and stared at little Peter with an unhappy face, waved his fist and said hatefully: "With the way you are now, what can you do." Before you reach the time of despair, you will give up on yourself, so give up your dream as soon as possible. There are many setbacks in this life, and you can't hold on to this, what else can you hold onto?"

Little Peter's face turned red when he heard this, and he opened his mouth and closed it again, and only after half a sound did he say yes.

The old man didn't care whether he listened or not, put one hand on his head, and looked at the giant ship with his eyes wide open.

After a closer look, the old man turned his head and asked William, "Hey, did you say that the flag on that ship is from the Krent Empire?"

William didn't raise his head and went back directly: "I thought you had seen it a long time ago, why did you still ask me? Even if we haven't been back for so many years, we won't forget it." ”

The old man pursed his lips and sighed without saying a word, and after a while he said to William, "It's on you, right?" Since this ship belongs to the Krent Empire, I think we can still get up with the two of us. ”

William shrugged his shoulders and led the way, and the group managed to make their way through the gathered refugees to a knight who looked like the chief of the soldiers.

Little Peter only saw Uncle William approaching the knight and whispering something in his ear, and then the knight examined William and the old man, and then discussed it with William in a low voice. Uncle William pulled a coat of arms out of his bosom.

Little Peter saw that the coat of arms looked like a shield, and on the coat of arms was a blue, yellow, and white shield with a stag's head and two crossed swords, and on either side of the shield was a pattern that looked like a pure white owl, and on the other side it looked like a black eagle. Before little Peter could look any more closely, the knight had already picked up the coat of arms and looked at them again and again, and looked them up and down from time to time in great astonishment.

"I need to show this coat of arms to my master. The knight thought for a long time, and then said to William. Uncle William nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"I looked at the coat of arms on the ship, which belonged to the family of the Marquisess of the Imperial Bavaria. While everyone was waiting for the knight to report, the old man, with Eva's support, walked along the side of the dock and looked at the great ship, and then said as he returned to little Peter.

Little Peter couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the Marquis of Bavaria, and his mind inexplicably remembered the Marquis he had seen in the church last time, so that he didn't notice the abnormality of Eva, who was trembling and beaming with joy because of what the old man said.

Little Peter took a closer look at the ship, and saw that it was about 10 meters high, with a main mast in the center of the deck, and a huge set of sails hanging from it. There is also a mast in the bow, but not as high as the middle one, and the sails are smaller. Both masts have a place above them that looks like an observation deck.

The hull is made of reddish wood and looks sturdy and sturdy. There are 30 holes on each side of the ship, which are used for paddling while the boat is moving.

There are not many buildings on the deck, only one near the stern of the ship that looks luxurious, presumably where the Marquisa is located.

There was nothing else to describe, and little Peter walked a few steps to see a huge coat of arms carved into the side of the ship.

The background color of the coat of arms is a yellow cross, and there is an eagle pattern with wings at the intersection of the cross, and the starting place of the cross is a black color that looks like a lily pattern, and the black lily looks very strange.

The old man's explanation sounded at the right time: "In the Krent Empire, it is only Bavaria that likes to use crosses and eagles to construct their family coats of arms at the same time, and the only one in Bavaria who can afford to raise such a huge ship is the marquis." ”

"Grandpa, do you know that marquis well?" asked little Peter curiously.

"I haven't met at all, but I've survived rumors about her in the imperial capital before, but I think she at that time should have been different from now, after all, it was decades ago. Time can always change a lot of things, doesn't it?" the old man sighed and stopped talking.

Little Peter didn't know what to say but looked around, and suddenly he noticed that Eva's expression was very excited, excited and a little uneasy and nervous. I couldn't help but open my mouth and asked, "Eva, are you okay?"

Eva opened her mouth as if to think about how to speak, and after a while she calmed down, pointed to the coat of arms and said to him, "I have seen this coat of arms, my parents sold my sister to an old butler who held this coat of arms. As she spoke, Eva's mood suddenly fell, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked.

Little Peter could only say with relief: "You see, now that you and your sister will meet soon, you should be happy." ”

The old man couldn't help laughing and said, "What a coincidence, it looks like you'll be able to see your sister in a while." ”

As he spoke, the knight went and returned, followed by a gray-haired, well-dressed old man who had carefully returned the coat of arms to Uncle William. He saluted respectfully and then said: "The hostess of our house has invited all the distinguished guests, the hostess is not feeling well and cannot come out to greet the guests in person, I am really sorry, I hope you can bear with me." ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "We came in a hurry, and it was us who was rude." I'm sorry to trouble you. ”

The old butler led the way, and the crowd followed behind him and boarded the boat one by one.

Little Peter was the last to board the ship, looking around curiously, it was the first time he had boarded the ship, and everything he saw was very fresh.

A red carpet stretched out on the deck to the front of the luxurious building, and a column of maids stood on each side of the red carpet, saluting the old man's steps.

It wasn't long before the red carpet came to an end, and a woman who looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a mopping robe made of white silk, was standing at the door.
