Chapter 346: The Kindness Unleashed by the Church of Mother Earth God
(Add more to everyone's commuter pass!) )
Wayne led Hobart down the narrow aisle to the door of a cabin.
Hobart heard the sound of men and women tumbling from inside, and Wayne brutally hammered the hammers with his fists: "How many times have I said that don't take women to the guest room." ”
"I'm sorry uncle, I'll be fine right away."
The young man who spoke inside did what he said, and it really ended quickly.
The hatch opened, and a charming, brightly dressed woman with light makeup, straightened the hem of her skirt and walked out.
For the two men standing at the door, not only was she not shy, but she solicited business, especially Hobert, who looked fine and tender, and was very handsome, she said that she was willing to give Hobert a discount.
She didn't leave until Wayne waved her hand impatiently.
Later, a young man with a flattering smile on his belt came out, and Wayne introduced it as his nephew Shel, who was working as a helper on the ship.
When Schill saw that there were guests on the return trip this time, he immediately said, "I'll help you change the sheets." ”
Originally, Hobert was going to go back to the deck to avoid it for a while, but then he thought that this was the life of the people at the bottom in this era, and there was nothing to avoid.
The so-called guest cabin is a small cabin that can only fit a bed and a chair, but fortunately there is a window so that the cabin does not feel stuffy.
It's just that this window is just a little above the water, which makes people feel suffocated.
Although Schill had changed the sheets, the room still smelled of mold.
Hobart didn't have a mental block, but he didn't want to sit in bed right away.
Wayne admonished, "No matter who you meet along the way, you say you're a guy on the ship." Be sure to remember that if you leak out, you will have to bear the extra money. ”
Hobert nodded first, then asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"You'll know when you're in the mountains."
Wayne turned around and began to busily burn the boiler, oil the steam engine, and prepare to start the ship.
Hobert sat in his chair and listened to the sound of his uncle and nephew talking as they worked.
Wayne asked, "Didn't you say that slut was asking for a high price?" Why are you still looking for her? ”
"But she's so good-looking, and the cry of Mother Earth is above, and I feel like my legs are still trembling."
"It's useless, wait until next time I take you into the city, go to the 'pleasure house' in the city, and let you know what a woman is."
“……”
Hobert said in his heart: As an uncle, shouldn't you stop your nephew from doing this? Why do you still take it with you?
Then he realized that he had been in this world for so long, but he was still a little out of step with the values of the people in this world.
Hobert had come into contact with the basically conservative gentleman of Rune before, and after leaving Beckland, he felt that he had seen the world as it was.
At about nine o'clock, with a dull whistle, the "Hippopotamus" officially set sail.
On the deck of the "Hippo", which is not very spacious, there are many loads that have been fixed yesterday, and at the back of the ship is a raft-like structure linked by iron chains, which is also neatly filled with goods.
There was also a live goat tied to the raft, bleating, and Hobert didn't know it was food? Or is it some local custom of running boats?
Hill was hard to add coal to the boiler in the cabin, and Wayne in the upper wheelhouse cautiously sailed out of port, almost a moment after a burst of foul language, not knowing whether he was scolding the other ships or scolding Schill.
Hobert sighed, unaware that his first experience on the boat had begun with some swear words that he didn't understand at his current level of Feneport, and the sound of Scheer adding coal and the steam engine turning.
Because it was going down the river, the boat quickly picked up speed, and after more than two hours of sailing, some hills began to appear on both sides, which soon turned into rolling mountains, and they officially entered the mountains.
Hobert occasionally went out on deck to get some air, but the deck was too cramped, and the river was very cold in winter, so he spent most of his time in the cabin.
The boiler was also in the cabin below deck, so that there was no need to worry about heating, and Hobert even sweated a little.
The steamer sailed until late in the evening, when the ship began to dock.
Hobart came to the cab and asked, "Have you arrived at your destination?" ”
Wayne said with a cold face: "I have to pay taxes to those dog mongrels!" ”
He glanced at Hobert: "Remember, just say you're a helper on the ship." ”
Hobert was stunned, although he saw private houses on both sides of the river, he didn't expect that there were people from the county government collecting taxes here.
Soon, as the steamer approached an improvised harbour, there were already many people standing on the wooden pier, and Hobert first saw a man in bishop's uniform standing proudly on the pier, and the others on the pier were kneeling or bowing.
Hobert was stunned again: Is it a custom here? It's just a tax, or kneeling and bowing, can you be so polite?
"Mother Goddess is above, Shel, I'm not mistaken, is that a Bishop?" Wayne asked in surprise.
"Yes, uncle." Schill was even a little surprised: "South Colson (the locals call it for southern Colson) has a bishop, and the Lord's glory has returned. ”
Only then did Hobert realize that the people of the docks were saluting the bishop of Mother Earth.
As soon as the ship docked, Wayne and Schill jumped onto the dock almost immediately, asking the bishop for his blessing.
The bishop, a middle-aged man who looked very easy-going, smiled and blessed his uncle and nephew, and then asked Hobert on the ship, "Are you Baron Hobert?" ”
Wayne was surprised, he didn't expect that this well-dressed passenger turned out to be a nobleman! But what about his guard of honor? Why didn't he wear aristocratic clothing?
Hober nodded: "May I ask who you are?" ”
"I finally caught up with you, I didn't expect you to take the waterway." The bishop smiled and introduced himself: "I am Bishop Simpson, we have received your kindness through Bishop Utravsky, can we come ashore, can we talk while walking?" ”
"Absolutely." Hobert jumped ashore, not expecting the Mother Earth Church to react so quickly, and to send a bishop to show kindness to himself.
The people on the docks watched Bishop Simpson and the young Baron leave, and they began to talk about why Mr. Bishop was here.
The people who were standing on the dock, as if they were afraid that Uncle Wayne's nephew would run away, grabbed them and asked them questions.
On the other side, Hobart and Bishop Simpson walked along the riverbank.
Simpson said, "I heard you want to build a church on the territory on the side of Full Moon Lake, and you want us to send a bishop?" ”
Hober nodded: "Yes, you also see the enthusiasm of the locals, and I think the church should continue to spread the glory of Mother Earth here." ”
Bishop Simpson suddenly smiled wryly: "We evacuated from the mountains because we would be polluted here. ”
