Captain Ed, like a guide, stroked his beard and said, "Come with me, you two, and I'll show you around." ”

As he spoke, he led us to the captain's quarters. The captain's cabin is located directly below the helm station, with a solid mahogany gate with a carved door plate that reads Captain's Quarter. Captain Ed pushed the old door, the deadbolt creaking. Fast and Bawkes followed them to the captain's quarters, and when Fast looked around and found that although the outside was old and moss-covered, the interior was very dry and tidy.

The captain's room was about forty or fifty square meters, with many ornaments hanging on the walls of pure wood, the lieutenant general placed a square table that could lie down an adult, under the rear window was a desk where he could enjoy the scenery while writing a letter, a neat table with pens and paper and a picture of a lady, an old hammock in the corner, and an owl cage beside it, in which was a chirped horned owl, which looked very alert despite its short and stout, and a pinch of pointed hair standing up by its ears, which was very unique.

Captain Ide pointed to the old hammock and said, "I'll sleep here." The horned owl next to it is called Lala. Captain Ed looked around and said, "Okay, you've seen the captain's room, I'll take you to the cabin." As he spoke, the group walked out of the captain's cabin and went down the stairs next to it, the cabin was located below the captain's cabin, and there were three separate rooms. Captain Ide pushed open the door to a room, and Faster looked in, the room was small but still clean and tidy, with a bed and a desk, and a round window next to the bed that could be opened.

Captain Ide said, "Originally, there were twenty rooms, but then these three were left, and I converted the others into gun emplacements and storage rooms. Captain Ed stroked his beard and said, "Take your pick, just these three." Then Baucus frowned and said, "Are the supplies enough?" Captain Ed smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've been preparing rations and fresh water for a month, don't worry." With that, he led the two to the storage room. The storage room was full of supplies, and Fast and Baucus checked the supplies, which were indeed very abundant. Captain Ed said, "There are three more such pantry, after all, eggs can't be put in one box. ”

At this time, Baucus asked a little puzzled: "Why didn't you see the crew of such a big ship?" Captain Ed stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously, only to see him raise his cane and tap it on the deck with his cane and read: The crew is here!

At this time, the hull of the ship kept shaking slightly, and suddenly a wooden hand stretched out from the wall, and this wooden hand stretched forward as if a person was about to break free, and at this time, the wooden hand slowly formed the shape of a person, and in the constant shaking, it became a wooden sailor in different clothes, and there were more than forty people.

Captain Ed said, "This is my crew! What do you think? Are you still satisfied? ”

Baucus nodded in satisfaction, then took a bag out of his bag and gave it to Captain Ed, saying, "This is fifty thousand gold galleons, and I will not break my word." Captain Ed took the money bag, gently swiped it with his hand, and then put the money in his bosom and said, "I like to do business with people like you." Captain Ide looked at the crew and shouted, "Get moving, boys! We're off! ”

The wooden crew began to move and prepared to set sail.

Captain Ed looked at the two of them and said, "Two, please come with me to the bridge." With that, the group went upstairs to the bridge.

The view from the bridge was very wide, and Fast looked at the wooden crew on the deck, they were doing their jobs in good order, some were wiping the deck, some were constantly turning the huge gear in the middle of the mast to raise the anchor, and at the top of the mast a lookout A wooden crew member with a telescope kept looking around, and then shouted: "The surrounding waters are safe, you can set sail." ”

At this moment, a wooden crew member wearing a sailor's suit and a hat came up to Captain Ed and saluted, saying, "The Shell Lady and its crew are ready to sail." Captain Ed held the rudder in his hand, puffed up his chest and took a sharp breath, and shouted in a loud voice, "Set sail!" The sails fell down the mast, the sturdy sails caught the breeze, and the Shell Lady slowly sailed out of the docks.

As the Shell Lady slowly sailed out of the dock, a person suddenly ran over from the dock and kept shouting, "Ed!! You liar!! Tell me it's a canoe!! Captain Ide put himself on the guardrail and shouted, "Dear friend! Wait until I get back! I'll definitely make it up!! Fast and Baucus looked at each other and shrugged.

Captain Ed came to the rudder, holding the rudder in his hand to control the direction, only to see him look firmly into the distance and said, "You two take a look around first, and come over when I sail the ship to the course." Fast and Baucus nodded and headed for the bow.

The sea breeze blows, the waves hit the bow of the ship, splashing white water, and at the junction of the sea and the sky, the blue slowly spreads. The sea is as blue and clear as the sky, and it shines with silver brilliance like a brocade.

Breathing in the fresh sea breeze, Fast said, "I don't know how long I'll be sailing." Baucus looked into the distance and said, "I hope I can find ghast island." Fast turned his head to look at the land that was slowly moving away and fell into deep thought, and an unknown feeling welled up in his heart, as if he was reluctant, but also interspersed with excitement and uneasiness. At this time, Baucus patted Fast on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking in a daze?" Fast shook his head and said, "I don't know, weird feeling." Box smiled and slapped Fast's waist with his elbow and said, "That's what you want to do?" Fast put it on the guardrail and said, "Probably, who knows?" ”

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Fast, Boxy!" The two of them turned their heads to see Captain Ed holding the guardrail in front of the rudder with one hand, and waving the other hand and shouting, "Come to the captain's room!" With that, he walked downstairs next to him and entered the captain's quarters.

Fast and Baucus looked at each other and walked towards the captain's quarters.

Fast and Baucus pushed the door open and entered the captain's quarters, where a pair of ceramic tea sets were placed on the table, and three cups of poured lemon tea were inside. Captain Ed bent over the roll of parchment beside his desk, looking for something?

Baucus said curiously, "Captain Ed, what are you looking for?" Captain Ed said, "A nautical chart to ghast island." I made the tea on the table, so you can sit down and drink it first. Captain Ide turned his back and pointed to the teacup on the table, without looking back, and continued to rummage. Fast and Baucus sat on Fast and looked at the exquisite printed tea cup in their hands, and then took a sip of tea, the fragrance of black tea and the sweet and sour lemon constantly collided in the mouth, and the aftertaste was endless.

At this time, Captain Ide suddenly shouted excitedly, "Haha, I found it." As he spoke, he spread it out on the table, pointed to an area, and said, "This is it." ”

Fast and Baucus quickly got up and leaned over, and when they looked closely, there was a line written on it: Bitter Howling Sea.
