At noon the next day, west of the island of Tirinhos.

The Clover slowly drove into a cavern under a cliff. It's a fairly secluded mooring, with a patchwork of simple planks and a glimpse of a slope from the depths, apparently hand-hewn.

While the cavern is large enough to accommodate a larger pirate ship, if it weren't for the four-leaf clover, which has its own foam cushioning and can float to the surface, other ships would have crashed into the nearby reef.

Thoma and Mary landed on the island with a group of men to procure supplies for the ship, but Esther didn't follow, they were already chaotic enough because of her arrival, there was no need to run around and block them.

At Alexander's invitation, Esther visits his "library", which can only be described as a well-stocked library for a ship.

"If you have any books you want to read, you can borrow them from here, I know how boring life at sea can be, and I can explain it to you as long as you are interested." Alexander clicked on his full bookshelves, and there was a pride in his words to show off his collection.

Esther nodded and asked, "Can you teach me Intis?" ”

The question came as a surprise to Alexander: "Are you interested in linguistics?" ”

"I just want to learn more, I've heard that there are a lot of outsiders in Port Behrens, and if possible, I'd like to learn both Vrsack and Dutan."

"Oh? I assume that your path also improves your learning ability. ”

Alexander laughed, he didn't mind granting Esther's request, it was also a good opportunity for him to check on Esther's details. The knowledge that inadvertently revealed may well have given Alexander a new speculative point.

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow: "You can also say that, it is more convenient for me to learn more languages." ”

Lest you only understand and not speak, which will confuse both parties.

If there is a possibility of going to the Southern Continent, it is better to learn Dutan, and Vrsak and Intis may be easier for Esther, after all, her Giants sometimes seem to be more proficient than Rune.

Languages from the same source will have many commonalities, and learning from scratch can be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Yes, as long as you can keep up. I was very strict when I was a teacher for more than ten years, and I hope you won't mind. ”

"Perhaps Russell the Great also said, 'A strict teacher teaches a smarter and more skilled student.'"

Alexander smiled very happily: "Hahaha, that's the truth! When Mary told me that you were an admirer of Russell the Great, I was puzzled, but now it seems that you are. ”

The corners of Esther's eyes jumped, and she laughed in agreement, quickly confusing the topic.

Emperor, Emperor, you have said all the good and bad things, and you really don't leave room for anyone!

——

While Esther was rapidly expanding her language skills with Alexander, Aaron was sitting in the captain's room, unpacking his teacher's reply.

His expression grew heavy as he read the letter, and finally fell into memory in his thoughts.

There was no abnormality in the people on the boat for the past two days, no one showed signs of being "parasitized", and the divination results I just got were normal.

I was a little too reckless in letting Hamel board the ship, and the teacher's criticism was to the point, was there a problem with this Hamel's divination before? No, there is no problem with the divination results, it is because I was affected by some reverse influence during the divination, so I made an unreasonable decision.

It was very much in line with Hamel's own strange attraction to me, but I didn't feel anything unusual or uncomfortable.

The teacher also did a divination with a high grid bonus, and she said that I was fine, but I was constantly being disturbed by the "light". There is no problem now, there is no guarantee that there will be no problem in the future, I need to be vigilant about her every move.

Aaron swept the handwritten but resilient reply again, and looked at the last paragraph:

"I will arrive at Nahuat as soon as possible, and our meeting place will be changed here, and you will sail here from Tirenius to the southwest tomorrow, and you should remember that I taught you the safe passage of the Furious Sea.

"Protect yourself and your crew, I have never heard of the ability to devour 'pollution', be wary of the 'thief'. If what you are seeing is not misleading or hallucinating, then there is a high probability that she has transcended the realm of humanity. Don't alarm her either! I will stealthily board the Clover while you are anchored at Nahuat, and observe her and you for myself. ”

Aaron put down the letter in his hand, got up and walked back and forth behind his desk several times, he had the urge to join forces with Thoma to throw Hamel into the spiritual rift right now, but the thought of the light on her body made it difficult for Aaron to have any thoughts of confronting her.

What should I do? The teacher also said, "Don't alarm her", you can only take one step at a time......

Aaron tightened his big red coat and threw the letter into the fireplace, causing it to shrink into ashes in the flames, and sat back in his chair. He took out a bottle of champagne from a drawer under his desk and filled it with a goblet.

"That's fine, go with your heart." Aaron touched the burn on his cheek and sighed.

If you believe in your luck, it will be easier to get good luck, but there is a limit to all good luck.

When Aaron played the "lucky one", he once summed up such a law of self-contradiction, and now he thinks about it again, but he feels more aware in his heart.

"This may also be my chance," Aaron shook the pale golden liquid in his wine glass, and gradually showed a smile, "If such a strange incident can still get a good result, it will naturally be the 'winner' ...... in the end."

Even if there is no real winner in fate, everything is a predestined balance, and gaining and losing are just a part of luck.

Aaron thought so in his heart, and suddenly clearly felt a certain change, his "winner" potion that had not changed in the past few years, and the digestion progress was loosened.

There was a strange buzzing in his ears, and Aaron seemed to catch a glimpse of some kind of gentle light surrounding him, but soon the hallucinatory scene disappeared again.

The goblet in his hand fell and shattered on the floor, and the champagne flowed on the ground, emitting an alcoholic aroma of lemon and candied fruit.

Aaron slowly sat up straight in his chair, feeling that he had completely digested the "winner" potion, and the progress was so rapid that he was a little frightened.

That light felt all too familiar to him, it was the light that had been extended by the "Clover" yesterday, and Aaron had seen it when he divined "Hamel".

But he was terrified by the sudden "good fortune".

——

Esther wrinkled her nose and subconsciously looked up from the Intis dictionary and glanced around blankly.

Across from her, Alexander, who was explaining the pronunciation on a small whiteboard, noticed that Esther's eyes had become trance-like, as if she was staring at somewhere in the void, a state that made Alexander easily think of Aaron's precognition.

So Alexander immediately stopped explaining and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's an inexplicable premonition that it's not a bad thing, but it just feels a little weird." Esther shook her head, she didn't know where the instant touch came from.

"Do you need a break?"

Esther's eyes immediately cleared up a lot, and she shook her head even harder: "No! Now it's the key point, isn't it? ”

Alexander pushed the glasses that slipped off the bridge of his nose again, and continued to use the example of Gufsak to analyze the evolution of the pronunciation of the Indisian language to Esther, and continue the language lessons of the two men.

——

The following day, the Clover sailed smoothly, and Thoma was wary of Hamel, but agreed to let her go with Mary to the ship's dining room instead of staying in the house all the time.

Aaron remained mostly silent about Hamel's affairs, and on the day he left Tirenius, he relayed some of the things in his teacher's reply to his first and second officers, and informed them of the change of voyage.

Thoma shook his head impatiently, as if to ward off annoying mosquitoes: "Going to Nahuat Island is a huge diversion to our sailing route, but since that one said so, I would not object to it." ”

Alexander thought for a moment before speaking: "Considering the safety of the 'Clover', I have no objection, you just don't make mistakes in the route of the voyage." ”

Aaron smiled and patted his heart: "Don't worry, even if I forget myself, I won't forget what the teacher taught me." It's not about my status as a 'student', it's an honor. ”

Thoma glanced at the door, "Do you want me to stop Mary?" ”

"No," Aaron said casually, "we need you to continue to be that 'bad guy,' Thomma. The contact between Mary and Hamel was unrestrained, and Hamel had already returned to her the beads that Mary had used for 'bribes'. ”

"Pretty fake, maybe she's thinking about something else." Thoma muttered quietly.

Alexander then mentions that he and Hamel are engaged in "language learning", which Thoma rarely agrees with:

"I'm a little annoyed that she'll understand what we're saying, but at least it's going to give her something to do, and it's much better than letting her spin around the boat."

Alexander didn't have much expression, and his gray eyes were indifferent: "I know you're worried about her affecting the rest of the crew, but if she really wants to, ......"

Alexander pointed to Aaron: "At least Aaron can't do anything." Even if she can't blackmail us with Aaron, and if she can influence the Clover, we can't paddle a sampan on the raging seas. ”

Aaron laughed dryly: "This will have to wait until the teacher boards the ship." ”

"Okay, just wait for that one to decide, I'm not trusting your luck, Aaron, but trusting that one."

Thoma walked out of the captain's cabin and slammed the door shut.

Alexander looked at this scene, and his eyes softened a lot: "Sometimes I think that one of you is the right decision to let the two of you stay in the same boat." ”

Aaron began to knead his eyebrows again: "The teacher is always right. Anyway, my instincts tell me it's going to be fine......"

Alexander interrupted him very unceremoniously: "It is precisely because you are always like this that you need a pragmatic first mate who dares to speak the opposite." ”

"Thoma was worried about Mary too." Aaron nodded solemnly.

"Or maybe he just can't stand your whims, Aaron."
