Chapter 19: Boarding the Ship
During his stay in Masaac Harbour, Sinampe found that the church seemed to have been preparing for the sneak of himself to Roman City, as if it had known that the current situation might occur.
"Actually, at this point, there's nothing I can't say to you, Mr. Si. Jean said to him, "Originally, we planned to let you eat the kickback offered by Bishop Christopher, and then let that knight Henry arrest you, so that you have to find a way to get out of Capet, and then we will rescue you and bring you back to Roman City." ”
"It's really well thought out. Sinan Pei smiled bitterly, "Just a foreigner, is it worth the church to get me to Roman City so vigorously?"
"Personally, I don't think it's worth it, but His Holiness the Pope thinks it's worth it. Jean drew a cross on his chest, "Perhaps he received a revelation from the Messiah." ”
Messiah, on earth, is the Hebrew equivalent of Christ. And here, it also refers to a similar meaning - this is one of the reasons why Sinampei felt that this planet must have some connection with the earth in the first place.
"I think he's more likely to have read Sybil's prophetic book. Sinampei muttered quietly.
Such a conversation is just a trivial vignette. On the morning of the fourth day of arriving at the port of Masaak, under Jean's arrangement, Sinampe and the other four got on the sailboat bound for Roman.
The minions in the harbor had already been bought, and even if they saw the conspicuous Seris of Sinampe, they pretended to ignore the checkpoint and didn't even use Shirmelia's magic.
"Oh, are these the members of the Syris's fleet that were stranded in the port of Masaak? well, they went to Roman City to chase the big troops, I see......"
Listen to the clerk's own words. Sinan Pei almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Is it really okay to turn a blind eye like this?
It's not that Cape's bureaucracy is too corrupt, it's that the control power of the kingdom's power simply can't extend to such a bottom, and these people who patrol the port have just been added because of the prosperity of commerce. To use the concept of the earth, it is a temporary worker......
When Si Nanpei and his entourage passed the inspection, let them say goodbye to everyone. He is a native priest of the diocese of Masaak. This time, helping Sinampe and his party get out of Capet was just a temporary task for him. His job was to preach the gospel.
On the ship, it is basically safe, and the next only inspection is the settlement of the goods on board by the tax collectors before departure, but this inspection has nothing to do with Si Nanpei and his party.
In this era, ships are used for both passengers and cargo, and there is no strict distinction between passenger ships and cargo ships. In addition to the cargo hold located at the bottom of the ship, the average ship will also have two good cabins to accommodate guests who are likely to be on board...... For example, this time.
However, the environment on the ship still makes people frown. The coarse cloth clothes of the crew hung casually on the mast. The deck is littered with garbage and wood chips that no one has to deal with, and there are quite a few piles of cargo here, and no one is going to deal with them. A band of idle sailors gathered together, bragging bare-chested, vulgar words constantly coming out of their mouths, and the cacophony of voices shook people's ears.
"Oh, this place has to say, it's terrible. Sinan Pei swore an oath. I have never been on a ship on earth with such poor service quality!
Theresa generously took Sinampei's arm: "Si, you don't have to put on such an expression all the time. I know it's not as good as Seris, but you've been living in Oggenia for two years, so you should get used to it, right?"
"How can you adapt to it......" Sinampei shook his head, "and I feel that the quality of this ship is poor enough, and no one will reason if it sinks halfway through the voyage." ”
After seeing Seris's giant ship, Theresa couldn't refute anything in the face of Sinampei's complaints. Such a sailing ship is compared to the ships of Seris. It is indeed a heaven and an earth. Sinan Pei doesn't complain about the quality of the boat, so it can't be said.
"It's alright, Division. "The central sea doesn't want the ocean to the west, it has always been calm, and there are very few accidents at sea." ”
"I hope so......" Sinan Pei smiled bitterly and touched the back of his head. The more Hilleel said this, the more uncertain he became. No one who has ever been on a ship of the 21st century can put their heart back in their chests while riding on such a broken ship.
And Sinampei is not only concerned about safety: "And I am also worried about another problem, what if I encounter pirates? I dare to swear that the guns carried on this ship are definitely not super five high, or I don't know what year it was produced, and it can only fire stone bullets." Besides, none of these sailors looked like they were fighting at all. ”
"But there are a few of us. Schilleria whispered, "I'm a magician......
"A mage with little fighting power. Sinan Pei complained in his heart. He knew Shilmelia's character, and it was softer than himself.
Sinan Pei still wanted to say a few words to joke, but he didn't expect that the sailors over there shouted here, and the content of the shouting was very presumptuous.
"Hey, ladies, how much is a night, do you think our gang can afford it?"
Several sailors whistled at the place.
Kara didn't react to such a culture, Theresa frowned, and Schillel was even more ...... She took two steps back, trying to make herself look less conspicuous as she could squeeze into the four......
In order to disguise her identity, Theresa is wearing a hood, while Kara is standing at the back of the four, so Cillelia bites her lip and looks quite stressed......
Sinan Pei could only rub his forehead helplessly, ready to step forward to solve this matter. I have to say that none of these noble ladies can cope with such a thing - they are too far away from the market.
"What are you howling, little cubs!" said a bearded middle-aged man on the wheeldeck, leaning on the railing and yelling at the sailors below, "off my guests, be careful I throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!"
The sailors were a little quieter, but there were still a lot of comparisons to this side, and they didn't know whether they were talking about Sinan Pei's unusual appearance, or the three women next to him.
Needless to say, the middle-aged man with a beard thicker than Count Trian was the captain of the ship. (To be continued......)
