Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Lord of the Clovers

Amid Mary's earth-shattering curses, Esther and Alexander climbed the four-leaf clover up the rope ladder.

The short-brown-haired middle-aged man who had stood at the bow of the boat and shouted to the three was being baptized by Mary's spit, and he bowed his head honestly to listen to the training. In the distance there was a group of sailors, and though none of them dared to come, it was always pleasant to gloat at Mary's lesson.

After seeing Esther, the brown-haired middle-aged man finally found an excuse to run away from Mary, his face was quite delicate, his face was long due to his high cheekbones, and his gray-green eyes were very smart:

"Oh, hey, you're the captain's guest after divination, right? Welcome to the Four Leaf Clover! ”

The other party still spoke in Intius, and although Esther could understand it, she could not speak, and had to respond in Rune:

"Hello, just call me Hamel."

The middle-aged man immediately changed his language and shook Esther's hand twice: "Ah, I'm sorry, we sometimes use Intis to communicate, you are from Beckland?" ”

"The people of Tingen have also been in Beckland for a short time." Esther replied with a smile.

In terms of the time she spent waking up in this world, the proportion of time spent in Beckland was quite long.

"I'm Thoma, the princess's first mate."

"Hello Mr. Thomas, I've heard you talk about princesses before, do you mean the 'four-leaf clover'?"

Thoma grinned embarrassedly, which made deep nasolabial folds appear on his extraordinarily long cheeks: "Yes, because she is very temperamental, and the captain says that she is like a spoiled princess, and we often call her that." ”

Alexander was the last to climb up, and the blue light on the outer layer of his box quickly converged after leaving the sea, and quickly returned to its original appearance without any special appearance.

Alexander shook the water above his thick glasses: "What about Aaron?" Take our guest to meet him, maybe she'll be able to do Aaron a hand. ”

"She?" Thoma glanced at Esther quizzically.

Esther was wringing the sea water out of her hair, and the three of them were soaking wet from top to bottom.

Mary also came over and threw her wig cover in Thomas's face unceremoniously: "Let's change your clothes first, Hamel, you come with me." ”

Alexander brought his glasses back to the bridge of his nose, but his vision was still blurry: "It's okay, you can take her to an empty room." The contents of your crate should be fine, and the ability of 'buoyancy blisters' will prevent water from entering. ”

Esther picked up the box and followed Mary into the cabin.

Thoma immediately turned to Alexander, and switched back to the Intis language: "How is it, she honestly signed the contract?" ”

Alexander replied in the Intian language, deliberately lowering his voice: "Very honest, sometimes even so sincere that she doesn't look like a 'thief', a very well-behaved girl, which does not quite match the bad behavior and character of the rumored 'thief'." I wrote the words when I signed the contract, and I didn't give her a chance to cheat. ”

Thoma touched his chin: "Can you be sure that she really has the ability to do this?" Just don't be deceived by her appearance. ”

Alexander smiled again: "You can try, the idea of being stolen can be known to her." So you'd better restrain yourself, lest she discover your suspicion and hostility. ”

"Tsk, don't say that I look like a villain......"

——

After a few moments, Esther changed into another spare set of clothes.

The bedroom wasn't big, about the same as the second-class cabin Esther had stayed in with the White Onyx, but it was a little more spacious, barely stuffing a set of tables and chairs, and the wardrobe was just a few planks nailed directly to the wall.

Just as Mary knocked on Esther's door, too: "Let's go, let's go to the captain." ”

At that moment, the hull shook violently.

Mary swore a foul slur, and then shouted at Esther, "Hurry up!" I really don't understand why the 'Clover' is so noisy today! ”

Esther was silent for two seconds, hoping it wasn't because of her own relationship.

Following Mary all the way to the door of the captain's quarters, Esther heard a meaningless howl coming from inside.

The voice sounded rather sad and angry, and Esther couldn't help but point to the door and ask Mary, "Your captain...... Is your mental state okay? ”

"It's okay, he's always been like this."

Mary didn't have much expression, as if she had long been accustomed to it, and after knocking hard twice on the door, she pushed it open and entered the captain's room:

"Captain! Our guests have arrived! ”

Esther walked in after Mary and saw a man with dark hair and deep features, dressed in a crimson coat with fringed epaulettes, and a small old scar on the left side of his face.

The man was vigorously pulling at a turquoise crystal ball embedded in the wall, the back of his hand exposed outside the cuff also showed burn marks, and his gray eyes were full of anger that could not be vented, but the moment he looked back at Esther, all emotions disappeared from his eyes.

The man let go of the turquoise crystal ball, leaned weakly against the wall, and stumbled towards Esther by the door. His eyes seemed to be out of focus, and they lit up with excitement, and his joy and longing gradually overflowed inside:

"So that's what I see, it's that what I saw was such an omen! Who the hell are you? Light, light ......"

Esther jumped to her feet and quickly flashed behind Mary: "Your captain is really not in a good state of mind!" ”

"I've never seen him like this, and he usually says strange things at most. Aaron! Be sober! Mary stepped forward and shook the man's shoulder vigorously.

But the other party did not react, still staring at Esther, completely unable to take his eyes off it.

Mary was also distressed: "Why don't you go out first?" ”

Esther quickly walked out of the captain's quarters, not forgetting to close the door tightly.

What kind of thing is this...... However, thinking back to the man's demeanor just now, Esther was almost certain that this Captain Aaron was the extraordinary person of the "monster" or "fate" path.

Only they will be so sensitive to the presence of "light" in themselves.

It was three minutes before Mary poked her head out of the room: "You can come in, Captain has calmed down." ”

Esther stepped into the captain's room again, and found that Captain Aaron had a book on his face, including the handshake and self-introduction that followed, and the book on his face had not been taken down at all, completely obscuring his vision.

"It's an honor to meet you...... Light. ”

Esther's smile was a little forced: "You can call me Hamel's, Hamel Brook." ”

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to call you, I see in you something I've never seen before. I'm Aaron Delasco, Captain of the Clover, and you call me Aaron like them. ”

When the two shook hands, Aaron just shook his hand twice and immediately withdrew his hand, pressing the book tightly against his face: "If you have any requests, you can ask for them, and the 'Clover' will open up to you the same permission as mine......"

"Captain!? Are you serious? Mary next to her was shocked, she had never heard such an outrageous request.

Esther also frowned, the captain's attitude was too strange: "I don't need it, a ship can only have one captain, it's the theorem of life at sea, isn't it?" I'm just here to complete the commission. ”

Aaron was silent for several seconds, then took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, yes, it's a commission. But why are you a 'thief'? I saw ......"

"That bothers me too," Esther rubbed her head, "and we'd better not get into it." Have you really calmed down? ”

There was even more silence.

Esther sighed and turned to the embarrassed Mary next to her: "I'd better go out first, if Mr. Aaron really calms down, you can call me again." ”

"Ah, good ......" Mary was the most dazed of the three, and when she heard Esther's reasonable offer, she immediately accepted it.

Aaron spoke again as Esther walked to the door, "Miss Hamel." ”

"What?"

"There is a calamity in you, a red calamity, that is a harbinger that I cannot comprehend. If it weren't for the presence of light, perhaps I would have died uncontrollably the moment I saw it. ”

Esther was stunned, and she jotted down Aaron's words: "I see, thank you for the reminder." ”

"We're going to go to Tirinhos to replenish our supplies and then go to the port of Behrens in West Bairan," Aaron said, putting down his book a little, his gray eyes shimmering, "would you like to join us?" I have a hunch that this voyage will be beneficial for both of us. ”

"The benefits? I really don't have anything to do to stay on the boat," Esther leaned against the door, looking at him quizzically, "but I can't think of any benefit to me. There's no way I'm in control of your entire fleet, Captain Aaron. ”

Aaron blocked the book from his eyes again, obscuring his view of Esther's fellowship:

"We'll all know, and fate will give the answer, Miss Hamel."

The statement of the good god stick makes people even more curious, and there are so many things he is hiding......

After thinking for two seconds, Esther didn't say anything, nodded and left the captain's room.

Mary hurried forward to close the door to the captain's quarters, and Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and threw the nautical diary on the table.

The open page of the diary was covered with meaningless and chaotic graffiti, and Mary felt dizzy and quickly looked away from it.

"How was my acting just now?" Aaron rubbed his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

Mary raised an eyebrow in confusion, walked over to the crystal ball embedded in the wall, and looked at the swirling green swirls inside: "Acting? I didn't see it at all. ”

“…… Ahem, that Hamel, she's very, very deep in her influence on my sequence. In order not to alarm her, I can only appease her first, but fortunately she is really not hostile, otherwise I am afraid that I would have lost control by now. ”

Mary sensed that her little respect for the captain was becoming rarer: "You really look like you're making excuses. ”

Aaron patted the table: "Alexander signed the notarial contract, so he can't make a move, neither Alexander nor I can count on it, only Thoma is ready to counteract at any time, in case Hamel has any changes." ”

"It's good that you're still awake," Mary looked relieved, "and you just said that you were opening up access to the Four Leaf Clover, I thought you were completely insane." ”

Hearing Mary's words, Aaron's face immediately became heavy, and after straightening his face, he instead had a bit of a serious captain's demeanor: "Even if I don't want to, I can't help it." ”

Mary's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean ......"

"The Clover is completely obedient to her, not me. I didn't expect the negative effects that had bothered me for so many years to subside directly after she boarded the ship. ”

Aaron closed the journal and pointed to the crystal ball on the wall, "Help me call Alexander and Thomas, it's necessary to check it deeply." ”
