Chapter 39: The Mystery of Heraldry (I)

"Ghost Bahamian ......"

Just like the terrifying legends that every world, every country, and every nation has, the ghost Bahamas is the eternal shadow of the endless sea of sand, the black demon shuttling in the golden desert, Danny explained the origin of the ghost Bahamas to Gu Tie in a tone of horror and awe, and Gu Tie was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react,

"So...... What the hell is it. Gu Tie couldn't help asking,

Danny Stewart shook his head and said: "No one has ever seen its true body clearly, the average speed of the ghost Bahamas is more than 50 knots, its trajectory is erratic, flickering, and can only barely see its black outline, in the legend of the natives of the endless sand sea, the Bahamas is a mutant sandworm sent by the main god Luta to constantly eliminate the weak in the sand sea." ”

"That's a reasonable idea. Gu Tie commented, "The role of wolves in the deer pack is undeniable. ”

"And after the thirty-three Zawi brought shipbuilding technology to the desert, everyone felt that the ghost Bahamas was more like a ship, a broken black ghost ship, it was a real ghost, countless people had seen it, the ghost Bahamas emerged from the open sea of sand, sometimes quickly overtook the ship and disappeared, sometimes it took the initiative to attack, causing fatal damage to the sandworms and sailing ships,...... The cute Oasis was lucky to survive its attack. Danny patted his chest and said,

At this time, the sailors of the "Oasis" lowered the gangplank with a clatter, and the gangplank with the iron hook clattered on the side of the "Bactrian Gale", "If you don't mind, I would like to treat you to a cup of tea, but fortunately the ghost Bahamas did not break my teapot." Catherina Maximilian smiled and invited, Gu Tie did not give in, stepped onto the pedal, and jumped onto the deck of the dhow in a few steps.

The boy of the Stewart family stepped out with one foot and looked back at his sister hesitantly, as if he saw some warning on the back of Hannah's proud head, he sighed, "Cargo friend, we can't go first, please ask the little cutie if there is anything she needs help with." ”

"Phew. Gu Tie waved his hand and followed Catherina down the gangway,

The "Oasis" is a slender narrow-body sailing ship, but the delicacy of its cabin design surprised Gu Tie, passing through the sailor's room, drawing room, activity room, dining room, kitchen and combat preparation room in order, there is actually a spiraling staircase at the end of the corridor covered with gorgeous embroidered carpets, "The keel design of the 'Oasis' is different from most sailing ships, so the degree of space utilization is higher, "The tea room is on the lower level, let's go down." Catherine half-turned, lifted up her skirt, and walked down the stairs first.

Gu Tie was amazed as he walked, just looking at the appearance could not imagine the beauty of the interior decoration of this sailboat, from the dark and shiny copper ornaments, the dark and shiny cherry wood wainscoting and the crimson family coat of arms at the top of the porch, it can be seen that the owner of the sailboat is by no means a new wealthy merchant with a large amount of gold coins, but a nobleman with a deep background, and even a royal family, there are several broken walls, which seem to have been attacked by the ghost Bahamas not long ago,

There are no portholes in the corridor on the ground floor, but it is by no means dim, there is a bright wall lamp every few steps, Gu Tie stopped and observed for a few seconds, and did not see what the luminous principle of this wall lamp emitting a pale yellow halo was, Catherina pushed open a heavy oak door at the end of the corridor: "Please come in, what kind of tea do you like to drink, as people from the Western Continent, we still drink black tea." ”

"Anything goes. Gu Tie walked into the tea room, glanced left and right, looked down at his torn robe and dirty boots, and felt a little ashamed, but since the master was not particular, he had no reason to be particular, sitting on the red velvet sofa, Gu Tie took advantage of the situation and cocked one foot, and then felt that this did not seem to fit his image as a weak-crowned young man, and honestly put his left leg back in place,

This tea room is not too big, two sofa chairs, an oak low table, two decorative shelves, a row of walnut chests of drawers, the whole room is covered with a light yellow plush carpet, all the furniture is in the Western Continent style, to be precise, Zavi style, on the decorative shelf is a statue of the main god, the one holding a hammer in his left hand, The sturdy god holding lightning in his right hand is the god of war and blacksmiths that the Zawi people believe in, and there is also a crimson family coat of arms hanging above the statue, which is a bit far away, and Gu Tie can't see the lines and words on it clearly,

Catherina, who was rummaging in front of the chest of drawers, suddenly exclaimed happily: "Oh, I forgot, there is still a little moon grass tea here, let's drink it or not, I almost forgot the taste of moon grass tea." ”

Moon Grass Tea, Gu Tie searched in his memory with this keyword, and found that the astrologer apprentice had drunk the legendary Lady Duran's Moon Grass Tea in the Black Cat Cafe in Sukasa Canyon, "Such an interesting experience, but I didn't catch up, hum ......" He complained about the strange personality named Jonah,

The cutie held up a carved tin can with red sealing clay, "Well, I didn't expect to find it, can you open it for me, Jonah, I'll boil the water and prepare the tea set." ”

Gu Tie took the tin can, his fingers touched Catherina's slippery skin, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, at this time the Chinese remembered the classic martial arts work of the last century "Lu Ding Ji", sharing a room with a certain princess, what kind of things can happen, he smiled, felt that it was better not to trouble the body of this pale teenager, while peeling off the mud seal, he spoke: "By the way, do you know the black cat café." ”

"Of course you know, what kid wouldn't want to see Mrs. Duran. Catherine looked back from the little stove and replied with a sparkling look in her eyes,

Poof, the tin can was unscrewed by Gu Tie, and a refreshing fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, which refreshed people's spirits, the inner wall of the tin can was very thick, and the small space inside was filled with a little light blue tea powder,

Putting down the teacan, Gu Tie proudly told the experience of the astrologer's apprentice, and sure enough, he said that the little cutie was holding his hands in his heart, with a complex expression of envy, jealousy and hatred, at this time, the steam sound sounded, the water boiled, Catherina picked up the teacan, scooped out the moon grass tea powder with a delicate silver teaspoon and poured it into the white bone china teacup, picked up the brass kettle, poured hot water along the small teaspoon into the bottom of the teacup, the water rushed out a small whirlpool in the teacup, and the tea powder flashed in it, like a shining star in the night sky,

"Wait a minute and drink. Catherina put down the copper kettle and brought milk, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate powder, and salt on a tray, all of which were common accessories for tea in the western continent, and I don't know where she got these rare things in the barren desert.

Waiting for the tea powder to brew for a minute seemed a bit long, Gu Tie felt that as a man, he should take the initiative to break the awkward silence, "Cathy, how long have you been in the Endless Sand Sea." ”

The little cutie laughed and covered her mouth with her hand: "Of course it's fifteen years, except for the second generation of Zawi people, we all came here fifteen years ago." ”

"Oh. Gu Tie scratched his head, "Then how old are you?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he pursed his lips in annoyance, and asked why such a stupid question about the lady's age would blurt out, isn't this digging his own grave,

"Sixteen years old. Catherina replied without any guilt, as if the question did not offend her at all, "For as long as I can remember, I have been sailing non-stop in this desert, I don't remember anything about the Western Continent, I don't remember at all, I can only hear Zavi's appearance from the mouth of Luo Warren, but he is a stuffy gourd who doesn't like to talk......"

Gu Tie thought for a while, and gestured with a chest up, raising his head and holding a sword with a straight face,

The cutie nodded, giggling,

"There is nothing good about the Western Continent, there are wars everywhere, and you must know that it is your Zavi Empire that is fighting others, making the entire continent restless, very powerful. Gu Tie squeezed his eyes a little narrowly, but this time Catherina restrained her smile and sighed: "If I can, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Zavi invaders, starting a war is the worst idea, and this will not change no matter what era." ”

"Why do you want to apologize for the mistakes they made, can you represent them? Gu Tie had long known that the girl sitting opposite had a prominent background, and at this moment, he couldn't help but knock on the side, wanting to show the true identity of the little cutie.

Catherina was stunned for a moment, slowly shook her head, and the maroon scroll rippled: "No, I can't, at the moment I am just the captain of the 'Oasis', everything in the Zavi Empire has nothing to do with me,,, it is just an apology from a Zavi to the people of St. Borun, that's all." ”

This girl is actually quite fine, Gu Tie scolded and smiled: "Don't talk about that, let's drink tea." ”

"Okay, please use it. ”

The two of them each picked up the teacup, Catherina added sugar and milk, Gu Tie felt that the taste of this tea was a bit like Chinese green tea, so he didn't add ingredients to prevent it from affecting the flavor, he took a shallow sip, the coolness soaked into the body, and his mind really became a lot clearer, but it was still a little different from Mrs. Duran's moon grass tea in his memory, I don't know if it was because the raw materials were different, or because it had been stored for too long.

"Is it delicious, Jonah. "The cutie stared at him with big eyes,

"It's fantastic. Gu Tie raised his thumb,

"It's great if you like it. Catherina seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiled secretly, and took a sip of blue tea,

Gu Tie stood up with the teacup and walked around the tearoom: "The decoration here is very elegant, did you decorate it yourself?" ”

Catherina replied: "The whole inner cabin of the ship was designed by Lao Bei, except for this tea room, this room was redecorated by me two years ago, is it okay?" ”

"Well, that's good. Gu Tie slipped under the family coat of arms while patting his ass, and looked up: "Is this your family crest, Cathy, this coat of arms...... Wait a minute......"

His body stiffened, and Catherina, keenly sensing the change in the astrologer's apprentice, stood up and stared at him in bewilderment: "This is my family coat of arms, what's wrong, Jonah." ”

Gu Tie slowly turned his head and stared at her with cold eyes: "Tell me about the origin of the coat of arms, if you want." ”
