Chapter 126: Finding the Ship
More and more students began to flock to the docks, and there were crowds in front of each boat, all looking for a boat to get out to sea as soon as possible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Caesar saw this, he searched around.
They have a small number of special recruits and don't need too big a boat, a small boat is enough, which gives them the opportunity to avoid the competition of other classes.
After some searching, Caesar found a small boat in the corner of the dock. After a closer look, the ship was just right for them.
Caesar took his classmates from the special recruitment class to find the owner of the ship.
The owner of the boat was sitting on a deck chair by the dock, a kind old man.
Caesar went up to the old man and said politely:
"Sir, we want to go to sea, can we borrow your boat? ”
The old man looked up and looked at Caesar carefully. Seeing that he was quite polite, he said kindly:
"Little friend, it's not that I don't want to go to sea. You don't know that at this time, no matter who you look for, no one will want to go to sea at will. ”
After hearing what the old man said, Caesar was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed.
He actually had a hunch that things would not be so simple. If it is true that you can get to Treil Island with just one ship, then this is not a test. Many of the students of the Royal High School of Magic are either rich or expensive, and if you can really just find a ship, then how can you find enough ships in the face of money.
So, the real test is not at all in the search for ships.
Feynman was anxious to find out what to say after hearing the old man's refusal, but he was stopped by Alberta on the side.
Albert stepped forward and said equally politely:
"Sir, why do you say that no one wants to go to sea now?"
After saying that, Albert looked up at the sky on the blue sea again, the blue sky was cloudless, and there was no sign of any change in the sky.
He went on to say to the old man:
"The weather doesn't seem to affect the going to sea. ”
The old man shook his head and said seriously:
"At this time, there are too many dangers in this sea. From time to time, hurricanes at sea are enough to set off stormy waves. It was a huge wave that even those big ships couldn't resist, let alone a small boat like me. Similarly, it is the migration period of sea beasts, and a large number of sea beasts migrate back from the north. If you encounter a tide of sea beasts during the voyage, no matter who you are, there is a possibility that you will be buried in the belly of the sea beast. So this period of time can be said to be the most dangerous time on this sea, compared to the sea at this time, those storms and everything are just pediatrics. ”
Listening to the old man analyzing the danger, not only Feynman, Albert and others, but even Caesar couldn't help but be speechless.
Unexpectedly, this training camp put such difficulties in front of everyone from the beginning.
By this time, all the students must have known about the situation in this area from the owner or captain of the ship. Gradually, they began to realize that this training camp was real, and it was not that simple. People who thought it was just a trip were all stupid at this point.
Everyone was at an impasse, and no ships were willing to sail.
Caesar thought for a moment. It is impossible for the academy to put an unsolvable problem in front of everyone's eyes, and since this problem has been solved, it means that there must be a solution. Maybe the danger in the old man's mouth is only for ordinary people, but for them mages, it is not necessarily an unsolvable death, there should be a way to cross this sea.
After thinking about it, Caesar said to the old man:
"Old man, we have a task on our part and we have to go to sea. Money is not an issue, if you are afraid that we will not come back, we are willing to pay you enough to buy a new boat. Or do you know where you can buy a boat that will go to sea right away? We want to go to sea right away. ”
Caesar said categorically, very resolutely.
Those who can enter the special recruitment class, not to mention, are all born in wealthy families, and money is naturally not a problem for them.
After hearing Caesar say this, the students did not raise any objections.
The old man looked at the determination in Caesar's eyes, and finally sighed.
"Okay, okay, you're going to sea, right, let's get out. Forget about buying a boat, this boat has been with me for a long time, and I am reluctant to sell any kind of wind and waves that I have experienced with me. Even if the boat is lent to you, of course, there will be no shortage of money. This time I went to sea, I can only say that it is very dangerous, you can do it yourself. ”
When Caesar heard this, he immediately thanked:
"Thank you, sir. ”
As he spoke, he and his classmates began to prepare the money for borrowing the boat.
After Caesar had given the old man the money he had negotiated, he was ready to go to sea.
Eight people boarded the boat, everyone look at me, I look at you, but there is no next move.
"You ...... Who's going to sail?"
Albert looked at the others with some embarrassment.
All of them were behemoths, they were born rich and noble, and although they had no magical talents, it was not their turn to drive the boat.
Everyone looked at each other for a round, and finally turned their eyes on Caesar.
Caesar said with an innocent face:
"What do you think I'm doing, do I look like someone who can sail a boat?"
The other seven looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
Caesar rolled his eyes and spread his hands to show that he couldn't do anything.
He was born in the mountains, and his past military life only allowed him to see the sea a few times, but he had never boarded a ship sailing on the ocean, so how could he sail a ship?
Just when several people looked at each other and didn't know what to do, the old man's trembling figure appeared on the boat.
The old man walked to the cabin with a rag bag on his back, and said to the young men as he went:
"Let's go, let's go to sea. ”
Everyone looked at the old man with some surprise.
The old man stopped, looked at a few of them, and said with some confusion:
"Why? Aren't you going to sea?"
Caesar stepped forward and respectfully asked:
"What are you, sir?"
The old man smiled kindly and said:
"You young people, you don't have any experience of going to sea. If I don't go with you, God knows what you're going to do with my ship. ”
"You mean, you're going to sail with us?"
The old man nodded, and continued to walk towards the cabin step by step.
Caesar was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked. When the others learned that the old man would be going to sea with them, they thanked him.
Coming to the cabin, the old man looked at Caesar, and finally asked:
"So where are you going?"
Caesar replied earnestly:
"Trail Island!"
