Chapter 634: Is This the Professor at Gotham University? (Medium)

When they arrived at the hotel, the three of them wanted to go straight to the beach, then rent a boat and go out to sea to find the island.

As for why he didn't fly over by plane, firstly, although Arthur knew that someone was trapped on the island, he didn't know the specific location of the island, and the fish could not pass on such detailed information.

The second reason is that when the plane is in the air, it is far away from the ground, and there are many nearby islands, so it is difficult to judge which one is their destination, and when Arthur is in the air, because he has no contact with the sea, he cannot listen to the information brought by the sea, and the efficiency is not as high as driving a boat to find on the sea.

So, after landing in Seaside City, Hal contacted his old friend and found a good boat, but when he came back to deliver the news, he brought another unfortunate news, that is, he was afraid that he would not be able to participate in this remote island rescue trip.

"The friend I was looking for was a cousin of mine, and I wanted him not to tell my parents about my return, but in the end, they found out and they wanted me to come home." The expression on Hal's face was a little complicated, it was obvious that he had left Seaside City before because he had a family.

"My parents thought my job as a test pilot was too dangerous, so they forced me to change jobs...... "Hal took a deep breath and said, "Or, it can't be said to be forced, it's just that the pressure they put on me is too great, and I don't have anything else to do." ”

"It's true that I've always been the deviant in our family, and my cousin and cousin have chosen very secure careers, and they're both in Seaside City, and they heard that I was going to be a pilot, and they thought I was going to be transferred to Washington, D.C., or even go to war, so they firmly disagreed."

In the hotel room, Hal took a cigarette and lit it, and said as he smoked: "My mother cried several times, and I argued with my father several times, and finally I compromised because I knew that they loved me very much and did not want me to risk ......"

Arthur leaned back on the bed and said, "My dad thought the same thing, he thought it was dangerous to go out to sea to fish, and the income was low, and it was better to go to the big city to be a taxi driver, and he almost wanted me to follow his friend to Kansas as a farmer." ”

Arthur's slightly reminiscent tone also evoked Hal's emotion, Arthur said: "Because he is a lighthouse keeper, he has seen too many fishing boats sunken in the sea, and he knows the fury of the sea, and he doesn't want me to be swallowed up." ”

"Will you hold on?" Hal asked.

"I don't know, when Professor Schiller first told me that he wanted me to go to college, I instinctively had an aversion, not to go to college, but to ...... I didn't really want to go to the big cities, I felt like the people there weren't good enough and there were so many things I didn't understand. Arthur lowered his head and sighed and said, "I know some people may say that I am timid, that it would be good to get used to it, and that other people have come over like this......"

"But that makes me unhappy, even if I can only be a fisherman in the Sword Sea, or inherit my father's profession as a lighthouse keeper, I want to stay in Brughhaven and live with my familiar friends and neighbors, instead of going to the metropolis and pursuing some professional ideals."

Schiller looked at Arthur, his temperament is actually a bit similar to the current Clark, both of them are people from small places, and there is a kind of simplicity in their bones, sometimes the simplicity is too much, and it looks a little stupid.

However, Clark was always passionate and motivated, trying to adapt to his life at Metropolitan University, and having the drive to overcome all odds, but Arthur, perhaps because of the lighthouse keeper who taught him, his father Curry Sr. was an overly gentle man, and he was not so passionate, but rather more accommodating.

"This is actually not a bad thing, Arthur, it is impossible for everyone in this world to stay in the metropolis, and it is impossible for everyone to be an elite white-collar worker, there must always be someone to be a fisherman, to be a lighthouse keeper."

"God has given you a different kind of gift, and perhaps it is you who have been asked to do these professions to help fishermen who may be swallowed up by the storm." Schiller came up with a set of electoral rhetoric, but it just pierced Arthur's heart, he said: "I think the same way, I think that this gift of mine can be used to help those fishermen......"

"The fish in the sea will tell me about the upcoming weather, and they will tell me where sailors are in distress so I can go and rescue them."

Arthur and Hal have nothing to do with each other, but they are somewhat similar in life circumstances, their parents don't want them to take risks, and hope that they can choose a more gentle and stable career, but because Arthur's father is more gentle, he will not force Arthur to choose, and Hal's parents are stronger, which puts a lot of pressure on him to follow their wishes.

"I can't convince my parents, so I'm a little afraid to confront them now......" Hal said, lowering his eyes, "I know my neighbors are probably talking about them because they have a son who doesn't come home all year round, which is rare here." ”

"The people of Seaside City are so proud of this city, they think it's the best city in the world, so very few people go out of town, and I'm probably the only freak."

"No, Hal, you have to go back." Schiller took out a rare definite attitude and said: "I think you may get a different answer when you go back this time." ”

Hal looked up at Schiller, as if he didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but he trusted Schiller's expertise, so he was silent in his chair for a while, then stood up and patted his leg, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't participate in this rescue operation, but I think it's not out of your power to save people." ”

"If you come back, call my house, Pilot Hal is on standby." Halbi made a gesture characteristic of a pilot, and then left, Schiller looking at his back and shaking his head.

"Alright, without further ado, let's go." Schiller stood up and said, "You said before that you can judge the location of that island in the sea, and you had better not exaggerate, otherwise I would not be able to find out where the island is." ”

"It's not me who can show the way, it's the fish that can show us the way." Arthur followed Schiller, walked out of the room, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, all the fish in the neighborhood know the news, and they'll show us the way." ”

Walking out of the hotel, getting into a taxi, and arriving at the docks, the two saw a medium-sized fishing boat, not advanced, but much larger and newer than the one Arthur owned.

A middle-aged man came over enthusiastically, shook Schiller's hand, patted Arthur on the shoulder, and said to him: "You can see that you are a fisherman, and you must be a very good kind, Hal is my nephew, I have picked a pretty good little guy for you, and he has only been in the water for more than two months." ”

Arthur walked up to the fishing boat, looked up and said, "Sure enough, I've seen this boat in a fishing magazine, it's quite good in speed and endurance, and there's a big ice tank that I like, but it's too expensive for me to afford." ”

The middle-aged man took the two of them on board the boat and said, "No way, the price of the new model will rise, and when the new model comes out, maybe the price will drop, okay, you go play, I wish you a good harvest." ”

Schiller smiled and shook his hand, and after Howl's uncle left, Schiller said, "It seems that Hal is indeed of good character, and his uncle is willing to lend us such a good ship." ”

Arthur nodded thoughtfully, stroked the railing of the ship, and said, "This is really a nice little guy, Brughhaven has never seen such a good ship." ”

Walking into the cabin, Arthur praised again and again, he said some professional terms Schiller did not understand, but it can be seen that Arthur is a boat enthusiast, and he knows a lot about fishing boats, a small part, and even the paint used on the parts, can be said to be the head, Schiller asked:

"Where did you know that?"

"The most popular thing in Brughhaven is the fishing magazine, whether it is issued by the official Oceanic Administration, or by various industry groups, or even by fishing magazines in Canada, you can order it at Brughhaven."

"Actually, I like to read the magazines issued by the Canadian Oceans and Fisheries Agency the most, they like to tell the truth, especially the weather and water quality that are useful for fishermen, unlike these magazines in the United States, where they compete every day to see who catches the bigger fish and where there are competitions."

Walking to the wheelhouse, Arthur felt like he had gone home, although he had never actually operated such a ship, but he had seen the scene in the cockpit countless times in the magazine, and had figured out what all the buttons did before he even read the manual.

He began to control the boat away from the dock, turned to Schiller, and said, "I just saw that there seem to be fishing rods in the toolbox in the back storage room, you can go and catch a few rods, maybe your luck will be better than your in Bloomhaven." ”

Schiller smiled and said, "How could it be worse than in Brughhaven?" At that time, I didn't catch a single fish. ”

Half an hour later, Schiller knew that he had been happy too soon, and that not only had he not caught a single fish, but had broken his rod, which was much worse than his luck fishing in Brughhaven.

He found that he seemed to have no connection with the sea, he didn't like fish, he couldn't fish, and he always felt like he was going to get seasick.

When he hadn't seen the sea, he hadn't fantasized about becoming a free fish in the sea, and even had a personality with a fishtail on the lower half of his body, but now it seems that it is better for that personality to stay in the pool in the room of the temple of thought, and the sea is better to forget it.

After two hours, Schiller felt that he was still happy too soon, because he was really starting to get seasick.

He walked into the cab, took a deep breath, looked at Arthur and said, "Haven't you found it yet?" Are you sure the school of fish that leads you is not a road idiot? ”

Arthur frowned, looked at the fishing radar, he said: "The situation is a bit unexpected, the fish can only convey general information, they say that the target is on the West Coast, but now it seems that it is not the West Coast of the United States......"

"Where is that?"

"It's possible to be closer to Mexico, we're sailing towards the equator right now, maybe near the Panama Canal, where I remember there were quite a few islands......"

"But I'm a little seasick." Schiller leaned against the door frame and said, Arthur looked back at him and said, "It's normal, people who have never been to the sea, the first time they stay at sea for such a long time, they will have some uncomfortable reactions, if you hold on for a while, you should be there immediately." ”

After Schiller walked out, he asked Gray Mist in his heart: "Why can't seasickness be adjusted?" ”

"Because it's not physical seasickness. Gray Mist replied with a little grievance: "There is nothing wrong with the body, the stomach reaction is a psychological effect, every time I let the stomach relax, after a few seconds, it began to cramp again." ”

"Psychological effect...... Schiller leaned against the railing and closed his eyes, entered the temple of thinking, his consciousness had just sunk, and suddenly he woke up, and the voice of the superego came from his consciousness: "Don't let in." ”

"Why don't you let in?"

"I'm on vacation."

"You're still on vacation?"

"Why can't I take a vacation? Are you allowed to take a vacation alone? ”

Schiller was silent, and then he asked:

"How long are you going to take a break?"

"36 days."
