Compared to the roughness of the sailors, the captain was far more polite - though he still did not look like a nobleman in his tattered clothes and full of booze.

The two sides introduced each other according to the proper etiquette, and the captain began to guide Si Nanpei and his party.

"I've disturbed a few of them just now, but those who beg for a living at sea are basically like this, and once they get ashore, they start to go crazy, drink heavily, go to the kilns, rob ......," the captain burped, "I'm sorry, but I still have to say that you don't enjoy any better treatment on other ships." ”

Sinampei stretched his face very long, but he didn't speak. In any case, since the Jean had placed them on this ship, it meant that the ship was reliable no matter how bad it was—at least the captain in front of him was reliable.

The captain introduced Sinampei and his party while leading the way: "I heard from Father René that you are all big shots, and you must not have to deal with a group of bitter people who have not eaten a meal. I've freed up my cabin and the next one for you, and I may not be able to meet your expectations for a bedroom, but it's the best place on the ship. The two quarters were quite far from the sailors' cabins. ”

"Thank you for taking such a thoughtful view of us, Captain Basil. From the initial introduction, Sinampei and his party already knew the captain's name. Theresa thanked the captain like a lady of the most authentic court, "In fact, we have no prejudice against those honorable sailors, because of them we were able to sail far away. And there are so many threats at sea anytime and anywhere, and the mental pressure is great, and it is understandable to vent when you dock. ”

"It's great that you can be so considerate of those lads. As he spoke, the first-class cabin where the group was going to live for a while arrived in the future.

Pushing open the door, the layout inside made the four of them overjoyed. It has to be said that the treatment of captains and ordinary sailors is just different. Not only are there all kinds of furniture, but there are also a lot of decorative objects that may not be very valuable, but they are more chic. For example, the furs of beasts from the southern continent, the delicate pottery full of Tuk flavors, and so on. The entire cabin has been lovingly decorated and spotlessly clean. I can tell that it has just been thoroughly cleaned.

The other cabin may be slightly inferior, but not much worse.

"I figured you might not be able to sleep in a hammock, so I bought a new big bed. The captain looked at Sinan Pei, then at the others, and showed an ambiguous smile, "But how to arrange it will be up to you to decide......

It seems that the girls who are following Si Nanpei at the moment are of high quality...... It's not uncommon for Captain Basilor to smile like that.

It's just that Sinan Pei is slightly embarrassed. I wanted to defend one or two, but after thinking about it, I gave up, which is pointless.

"I wonder how much Father René has given you for the boat?" asked Theresa curiously.

Captain Basil touched his chin and smiled, "I can buy about a third of the cargo on this ship." ”

My good!" Sinampei gasped. This priest has really made a lot of money. But Sinan Pei wanted to complain, since he had all this money. Why not find a ship that looks more reliable?

In fact, Sinan Pei was too high at the navigation level of this era, and the five-hundred-ton ship under his feet was already a fairly large ship in Eugenia. As for the shabby appearance, in an era when there was no concept of painting, what ship that had sailed away did not look tattered?

Sinampei has not been able to observe this continent as a contemporary, which has a great relationship with the gap in knowledge.

......

Pali City.

Christina has been back in the city for three days. During these days, she lay silently in bed without saying a word, except to sit quietly at the top of the old palace overlooking the city.

Edward was very busy, and like Sinampei, who was far away at sea at the moment, he was also a natural toiler. But he's not on business. will always squeeze out time to silently accompany Christina in a daze. He couldn't figure out why he was so interested. But he wasn't ready to think about it, he knew he couldn't figure it out. This is not a question that can be thought about intellectually.

This time Christina didn't chase him away. In the same way, she didn't know why she accepted a man to accompany her at such a time. She thought she might be a little scared of being alone. Ever since she came here, she's alone. Although it can be endured for a while, it will take a long time. It's uncomfortable to feel empty in my heart - especially when I see the people around me coming in and out in pairs. But she wasn't sure, she didn't feel so weak.

Human psychology is always so wonderful that even I can't figure out what I'm thinking.

It was close to noon, and Christina was still sitting on the roof of the palace looking at the city in a daze. This is the city she grew up in - and yet she feels incredibly strange and alienated from this city - 400 years is enough time to turn the world upside down.

Edward happened to be sitting right next to her. Also admiring the city. He was a conqueror, and he liked to test his results from such a height. Maybe that reason wasn't enough for him to waste his time doing such a pointless stupidity, but with a girl by his side, he had a reason.

The winter sun is warm, even lazy, and the temperature she emits at this moment is not enough to warm two people who are in a daze.

Christina felt cold. A cold wind blew from the north, causing her to experience even more biting temperatures than in the morning.

Edward put a coat on her in due course.

Christina finally spoke, "Do you believe in fate, Edward?"

"I don't know if I believe it or not, but I know you probably don't. Edward replied with a smile.

"But now I'm a little convinced that no matter what I do, I can't escape that destined trajectory...... It's hopeless. Christina shrunk back, making herself look even more depressed.

"It's not like you, Christine. Edward shook his head, "You should be more confident, decisive and actionable." ”

"People always change, you, me, anyone. Christina exhaled a hot breath, and a white mist rose in the air in front of her, "No one would have thought that the foreigner with the surname Si and his wife would one day become arbitrary overlords, no one would have imagined." ”

"But you know, right? So in the beginning, you persuaded me again and again to pay attention to the foreigner. Edward asked.

"That's where my pain comes from. They...... Left behind a shoddy legacy for future generations. As soon as Christina finished speaking, Ivina's voice rang in the ears of the two of them.

When the meal was approaching, she came to the two of them in person: "Hey, adulterer and adulteress, you are not eating?"

"You eat three meals a day, but you're a beast!" Edward turned and shouted loudly to his sister. (To be continued......)
