Volume I: The End of the World 151
"You're pretty good at pleasing them." Ralph came over with a jug of wine and stood beside me.
My ship sails on the sea, my ship!
I like to sail at night, with the moon hanging overhead and the stars in the sky telling me where I am.
Ha...... I'll admit I'm bragging, I don't know where I'm right now, I can only barely know which direction I'm driving in right now.
"I need a team that can fight together." I looked at the fleet not far away.
"They thought we'd go to the Stormwind Kingdom to loot." There was some concern in Ralph's tone. "What are you going to tell them about this?"
"To be a bandit is just to live. And being a bandit is faster than being a peasant. That's often the case. I looked at his face, "If they can eat, no one wants to be bandits." ”
"But you forgot, if they eat, will they follow you?"
I shook my head, "Bandits are bandits, they don't change that easily. ”
"I mean, when it comes to the Stormwind Kingdom, how do you manage them?"
"Isn't it you?" I smiled.
"Now you're the head! Bill! He said, "The question now is how do you do this!" Six hundred, quite a few. He continued: "The brother brought from Alterac may be better talked...... It's hard to say about the group of sailors in Kul Tiras. ”
"They came out for money, they worked for money, and I already paid the agent, and they know. And didn't you send them money before you left? When I get to the shore, I will also fulfill my promise, since this group of people are mercenaries, they will have to do what happens after they get paid. I said.
"Don't worry, brother. I don't believe they have the courage to mutiny, these people who have given up their freedom and life within the limits of the law, these bullies. I said and gritted my teeth.
"I remember you saying that this is your hometown." Ralph looked into the distance.
"Yes."
"What are you going to do when you get back? Can anything change? Are you ready to reclaim your past position or make up for your past mistakes? Ralph finally asked the question.
"I don't know if there's a chance to change those alleged mistakes you said. But...... I think it's probably more than that. "I looked at his dark face." There are some things that I can't explain to you, and you may not be able to understand them if you do......"
"You can try." He looked at me.
I thought for a moment and said, "I can see the future of this world." ”
"Ha, you've drunk too much."
You can understand it this way. Excluding the future for most people, I just know what the world is about to unfold and what is already unfolding now. I took a sip of wine: "The world will soon face catastrophe, endless catastrophe. No, it's already facing disaster...... The northern kingdoms still didn't come to the aid of the Stormwind Kingdom. This was the beginning of the disaster. ”
Ralph's eyes were full of doubt, and the moonlight shone on his vicissitudes of life. I believe that he should not believe this, and he can't believe it.
"Bill, do you think you can change the future you foresee?" He looked at me earnestly.
"I don't know, but ......," I sighed. I can't escape. I am a member of this world after all. ”
"That last...... Is it a victory? He asked.
"Of course we won!" I smiled wryly.
"That's it, even if you don't participate, it doesn't matter, maybe it's just left to the big guys." His tone was a little relaxed.
"If it weren't for me...... Will the result be the same? The thought silently arose in my mind.
"Bill!" The first mate steered the ship dutifully, and he changed guards with Ralph in the afternoon. He called me suddenly.
"It's a bit overcast in front of you!" He pointed to the pitch black sky in the distance.
The sky in the distance is completely different colors from our current sky, the sky is still clear on our side, the moon is still on our side, and there are stars in the sky.
"It's going to rain! That's right! I asked him.
"There should be rain, but there is no lightning in the clouds ahead, so it shouldn't be a big problem." He said.
"Now we can be sure of our position, right?" I hurriedly asked.
"Yes." He replied.
"As long as the direction is good, as long as you don't get lost." I said, "Vaughan! Signal! Tell the fleet to keep their distance and be careful with the rain that may come ahead! I threw my head up and shouted at the guy on top of the mast.
The wind blew, but it was okay and acceptable. It wasn't raining too much, but it didn't seem to be ready to stop when it started. It began to rain from the time it was covered by dark clouds until dawn. The first mate said that this is a common occurrence.
The next few days were cloudy and sunny. It's not easy to live in the cabin. Boredom and boredom soon took over the entire cabin.
In addition to drinking, it is sleeping. The rules that had been agreed upon made these guys who wanted to cause trouble when they were idle start to get restless. In fact, I don't have any good methods, and I can't give them ideological education classes on morality and the rule of law with dozens of people.
But on a good note, the increasingly bumpy boat scared most landlubbers to death. Some have already started vomiting mode.
"The wind is getting stronger." Ralph kept adjusting the rudder.
"It looks like there's a storm in this way." I'm worried. I don't remember when I stopped hating rain, but now I'm really looking forward to it.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and a few seconds later, a blast of thunder was like the wrath of the gods. One inadvertently scared me.
Ralph glanced at me, but he didn't smile. At this time, look at the gradually choppy sea, the endless sea! I was scared in my heart.
I try not to think about it, but I can't control myself from thinking about it when I look at the huge waves that are being lifted by the wind one by one.
"Green! Do you want to put away all the sails! Ralph shouted to the first mate.
First mate Green clinged to the edge of the ship, turned his head and shouted, "Hold on to the rudder!" Follow those boats! ”
"Gage! Tell everyone in the cabin! Tie everything you can to me and tie it up! The stupid guy who can't tie up tells him to get out of the way! Green shouted. Lads! Put the storm sails down! ”
The wind is getting stronger. I felt first-hand what it means to be stormy! Every time the waves came in, I was worried that the boat would be shattered!
The seven ships didn't get too close, and this kind of wind and waves getting too close is not a joke! The scene now makes my heart rise to my throat, and honestly, I really want to hide in the cabin now! Close your eyes and wait for the storm to pass!
But now I'm the captain! I'm their head! First mate Green took the rudder from Ralph's hand, and the two men struggled to control the ship. If I run away, it doesn't seem like a good thing!
Green's tense face didn't look so relaxed. But you can still walk on the boat more calmly. And I could only hold on to the guardrail as hard as I could, and my whole body tensed and did not dare to move, lest the boat should be lifted up by the waves!
I don't have the confidence to survive this endless sea!
Right! This sea is called ...... Endless Sea!
"Captain, go back to the cabin!" Green shouted at me.
"I'm not going back! I'll be with you! I shouted.
"Go back! It's too dangerous here, you're not familiar with this environment! We've got it! He shouted too.
"Find me a rope!" I shouted at him.
"You can't help here!" Green advised me.
"The best way to overcome fear is to face it! I'm going to face something even more terrible than this one day! Maybe there won't be a cabin for me to hide for a while! "My voice was distorted by the rain that poured in.
Green found two ropes, one for me and one for Ralph.
The bumps are getting worse and worse! Sometimes it feels like the whole boat is being blown off the surface of the sea by the waves. It's a lot more exciting than the back-and-forth swinging pirate ship of the amusement park! It's just that it's going to be a hell of a thing!
The boat is riding the waves!
For me, every second counts! Absolute torment!
