Van der Sar's urging made Anita's face stiffen a little.

Although he was the heir of a noble and wealthy merchant family, he was very familiar with the ancient and cruel 'laws of the sea', including the procedures, and was full of hatred for the dozens of riotous sailors who almost insulted his fellow sisters, but when it came time to judge and execute, the teenage boy couldn't help but cringe in his heart.

But the scene at this time did not allow him to hesitate any longer, Hanino, who was responsible for the education of teenagers, whispered anxiously beside him: "Don't be afraid of my child, since you have chosen to punish the riots with the 'law of the sea', then you are the 'judge' today!"

From this moment on, as one of the heirs of the White Philippe family, you have the right and must make your own judgment against the rioters who offend the dignity of the White Philippe, according to the ancient custom, do what you have to do, and do not disgrace the family. ”

"Yes, teacher. Anita finally regained his courage with a sense of family pride, took a few deep breaths, stepped forward, and shouted solemnly in a trembling voice: "I, Anita Blanch, Lord of Venis, am here to convene a judgment at sea in accordance with the order of the city-state of Catamane and the laws of navigation. ”

As soon as the boy finished speaking, Van der Sar stepped forward and said loudly beside him, "I, Van der Sar Downton, Lord of Venis, am hereby answering the summons of Lord Anita White Philippe to be one of the adjudicators. ”

Immediately afterwards, Helena took the same step forward, stood on the other side of her brother and said, "I, Helena Blas, the Baroness of Venis. In response here... Become one of the adjudicators. ”

After the girl finished speaking, Hanino walked quickly to the three knights, took out the charcoal and paper scrolls that had been prepared from his arms, stood and wrote for a while, handed the paper scrolls to Anita, Helena, and Van der Sar for signature, and shouted in a deep voice: "In the name of the order of the Catamane city-state and the Law of Navigation, I declare the establishment of the 'Court of the Three Lords' here!"

Zhang Lisheng stood on the deck not far away and watched this live drama that seemed to be a stage performance, and quietly walked to Hano, who was watching everything expressionlessly, and asked, "Hano, Anita, what are they doing?"

"They're going to put all the rioters to death," Hano said in a dry voice, "The city-state of Catamane is based on maritime trade. Navigation was the link between the city-states of the country and the foundation of the state.

And at sea. The fleet is far from the order and law of civilization on land, and often a small disturbance can turn into a catastrophe, and all the crimes committed by sailors must be punished immediately and severely. Eliminate the evil.

But it is not realistic to have one tribunal per fleet. Thus the House of Representatives alienated the ancient maritime customs into the Maritime Law. It is provided that when a crime is committed, a captain may order ten lashes of the offending sailor every seven days;

Three captains can form a 'fleet court' at sea to sentence the perpetrator of the torture of amputated limbs;

The three knights could set up a 'court of three lords' while sailing. It has all the rights of the land court to sentence any punishment to the captain of the ship, including the death penalty...

Though... But after all, this is dozens of lives, I really didn't expect Anita to have such courage...", his tone was almost moaning in the last sentence. ”

"So that's the case, it's really strange that a law that can turn a prominent victim into a judge..."Zhang Lisheng didn't know that in fact, the Western society on the earth has always had similar customary laws from the Middle Ages to modern times, and muttered in his mouth.

At the same time, Anita's increasingly manic, excited voice sounded in his ears: "As the convener of the court, I, Anita Blaswell, propose a sentence of 'sea execution' for all rebels. ”

"I, Helena Blaswell, agree with this verdict. The girl looked at the rioting sailors who were still reckless in front of her not long ago, gritted her teeth, and said without pity.

"I, Van der Sar Downton, agree with the 'Sentence by Sea'. Seeing the cold gaze of his sweetheart, Van der Sar immediately shouted.

As the last knight expressed his opinion, the verdict was upheld, and when their signatures on the verdict recorded by Hanino were confirmed, what seemed like a sloppy and absurd performance turned into a tragedy, and the warriors of the House of Downton began to brutally whip the riotous sailors whose hands were to be tied, driving them onto the planks and driving them to their deaths.

"No, no, spare us, I beg you, Master Anita, Miss Helena, I have served the White Philippe family for eight years, and I have never made a single mistake, this time I just followed them to protest that the maid had beaten old Werther for no reason, and nothing else was done, nothing else...";

"I still have elderly parents and young children at home, be merciful and merciful, young master, young lady, merciful, merciful...";

"I am a citizen of the city-state of Cataman, a freeman who has volunteered to employ the White Philippe Firm, and you cannot sentence me to death so hastily, this is a lynching, a crime...", many rioting sailors screamed to save their misery before falling into the cold waters, but it was all in vain.

Soon the thugs were all driven into the sea, and after a hoarse struggle, they sank to the bottom of the sea.

The screams of the riotous sailors lingered in his ears, but the pale Anita struggled to show a hard look that he had never seen before, and when the screams gradually disappeared, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said to Van der Sar with a smile: "Thank you for helping me wash away the shame of 'White Philippe', dear brother." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, Anita, Philippe Blanc and Downton are pretty much one family. Van der Sar smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you persevered, brother, your adult 'baptism' took eighty-seven lives, which is much more exciting than I was at the time, and it's really remarkable to be able to persevere." ”

Anita was stunned for a moment and then whispered, "Yes." Looking around at the vast sea around him, he felt that his mind had broadened, and the Downton family guards and sailors who had been swept by his gaze no longer just looked away casually like just now, but lowered their heads to express the respect in their hearts.

"Less than a hundred lives can make a gentleman win respect, the lives of terrestrial people are really expensive..."Witnessing the change in the attitude of the people around him towards Anita not far away, Zhang Lisheng pursed his lips and whispered to himself that he wanted to sneak back to his cabin quietly, patiently waiting for the night to come, only after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Mr. Lisheng, please stay for a while." ”

"Young Master Van der Sar, I didn't expect you to know my name," Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Zhang Lisheng, who stopped, saw a gorgeously dressed, tall and strong figure walking towards him, and said with a smile on his face: "Xie Lu, thank you for saving your fleet..."

"I should thank you, Mr. Li Sheng, you saved Helena twice, as one of her admirers, I can't express my gratitude in words," Van der Sar said sincerely: "I heard Anita say that you are a spell caster, and your future dream is to become a 'seafaring merchant', if that's the case, please feel free to ask if you need my help." ”

"Thank you. Zhang Lisheng said casually, and then felt that there was nothing to say.

Fortunately, the wooden boat was not far from the shore, and Van der Sar was also anxious to seize the opportunity to be alone with his sweetheart at this time, and he had no intention of talking nonsense with a spellcaster from a foreign continent, and hastily expressed two words of gratitude before turning away.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Lisheng Shi Shiran returned to his cabin, jumped on the hammock and swayed, and looked out the window in thoughtful silence, until a young maid knocked on the door with a wooden tray full of food, came to his side, and said in a voice full of gratitude: "Mr. Li Sheng, I brought you food." Only then did he come back to his senses.

Salted fish soup that is not too fresh, warm dough cakes, a plate of fried charred birds' eggs, sweet dipping sauce, the food is not rich and delicious, but it means something completely different to a person who has been hungry all day at sea.

"This is Master Van der Sar who has brought lunch, thank him for me. Smelling the aroma of fish soup and fried eggs, Zhang Lisheng turned over and got out of the hammock, took the wooden plate, sat directly on the ground without any manners, and said while eating and drinking.

"The meal was delivered by Master Van der Sar's fleet, but it was Miss Helena who brought me here," seeing the young man's rude behavior and the maid's unnatural smile, "Xie Lu, thank you for saving us today, Mr. Li Sheng." ”

"It's nothing, it seems that I saved the second time, Miss Helena's prejudice against me has decreased a lot, take me to thank her. Zhang Lisheng stuffed his mouth full of food and said casually.

"You, you eat slowly, I'll retreat first. The young man's gobbling up and blunt speech made the maid have no desire to continue talking, and she fled.

And Zhang Lisheng, who stayed in the cabin, had a good meal, and then continued to lie in the hammock for a long time.

Finally, in the evening, after eating another dinner ordered by Helena, he quietly stripped off his clothes and took it in his hand to transform into a body with the power of a dragon, condensed a thick fog on the sea surface and enveloped the entire wooden ship, and the clouds floated out of the cabin and flew towards the three iron ships that had been closely following the fugitives.

Like a fairy, the low altitude crossed the sea, breathing the wet and salty air, and the long distance was in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Lisheng soon landed on the deck of the flagship of the Wuli Iron Ship.

Upon discovering that there was a mist drifting for no reason, the young native captain of the iron ship hastened out of the wheelhouse, knelt on the deck, mingled with a group of worshipping sailors, and the two feathers on his head stood out.

Looking at the bright feathers, Zhang Lisheng walked silently in the deep curtain to the youngest of the Wuli people to learn to drive a wooden boat;

The first knows how to use a sextant;

The first to figure out how to navigate according to the latitude and longitude of the 'Shrimp II World';

The first native who had learned to steer an iron ship asked in front of him, "Ban Saru, how are your charts now?" (To be continued......)
