25. Wait for the wind


After nearly two weeks on the sea, the ship slowly slowed down and stopped at sea.Sometimes, Captain Blunte even slows the boat down by steering it out of the current.Ying Li is obsessed with the perfume of Rococo Flower every day, and she always says that she wants to see what kind of perfume prepared by demon blood will smell, whether it will be a fragrance that makes people addicted to smell it, maybe those wives in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital dream of getting a perfume with this charm.Helena, on the other hand, believed that the perfume made from the blood of demons would be a poison that could make people's spiritual world illusory.The girls are full of expectations for this kind of perfume formulated with expensive demon blood, in fact, its production process is not smooth, Ying Li has not been able to grasp the most critical refining link behind, after several failures, I can't help but be a little disheartened, at this time, Ying Li will be very curious to ask me: what kind of woman is she.I know that she is asking about Kige, who has the title of Magical Potion Scholar in the Imperial Capital, and it is Qige who holds the recipe for the Crazy Potion in his hands, and these magic potion formulas in Kige's hands have even caused some people in the royal family to panic, and also brought her marriage contract with Wales to an end.Some of the woman's self-consciousness is very keen, and although I have never mentioned Qige in front of Ying Li, she seems to know something, and I think maybe the problem lies with Katarina.Seeing that Ying Li always likes to lock herself in the cabin, I thought she should go out and take a breath, so I managed to convince her and take her out of the cabin to the deck to blow the sea breeze.I thought maybe she would look at the endless sea and change her bad mood and not ask questions that were painful to answer.When Ying Li appeared on the deck with Helena and Becky, it often made the sailors on the deck very excited, and they sometimes even forgot what they were doing, and stood there stupidly, watching them slowly walk in front of them.The sailors on the deck, always looking forward to this moment very much, will hide behind the mast, canvas, noose, barrel, peek at the girls with an almost greedy gaze, the skin of those sailors has become a little mottled under the seawater immersion all day long, and even some cuticles have grown on some skin, which looks like a perennial life at sea, so that they have undergone some kind of mutation, this physical mutation, so that their hearts have been slightly distorted.All they can do on a daily basis is raise and lower the sails, adjust the angle of the sails, scrub the deck, go fishing, and gamble.Unless it is docked at the port terminal, there is no chance to meet a woman in normal times.However, many times, Captain Bronte's smuggling ship would be secretly anchored at a certain port pier, and the sailors would not have a chance to explore the island at all.Therefore, when they look at women, their gaze becomes extremely obscene and greedy, like a bedbug that sucks blood, nailed to the flesh and refuses to let go.Miss Cherry was like a goddess of charity and benevolence in the hearts of these sailors, and when a sailor accidentally offended the goddess's chest and was mercilessly stabbed in his arm, these sailors realized that the sword hanging from Miss Cherry's belt was not just a beautiful ornament.The poor sailor did not escape the beating of his companions because of a wound in the arm.The next day, with her arms hanging from her nose and face, crouched at the stern of the boat to scrub the floor, Miss Cherry wanted to come closer and observe his injuries, so frightened that he howled and fled into the cabin below deck.However, on the ship, the only exception that did not go to the attention of the sailors was the orc warrior Karantso, because Karantso stood next to the barrel on the deck for ten days in a row, looking for the strongest man in the group to wrestle his wrists on the barrel, and the best sailor managed to hold out for ten seconds.In the face of Karanco, who was not very strong in his body, but he was infinitely powerful, the sailors' hearts were completely broken, and they were even embarrassed to walk with their heads raised in front of Karantso.But every day, behind Karantso, there will be a seductive little tail, she has the face of an angel and the body of a devil, and has both flesh wings and wings, this strong contrast can easily provoke the most subtle trace of desire in a person's heart.

The fire of hope.Deborah has such a charm, she will be like a proud peacock every day, holding her proud breasts.

Wandering around the deck.Wherever Deborah passed, she would always make people turn on their backs, and Captain Bronte was so angry that he thundered several times.Among these people, the one I couldn't see through the most was actually Joan.We got to know this dark-skinned girl because of Jacques, but I don't understand why she didn't stay in Galapagos City, but ran with us on this boat for this adventure.Her attitude towards Jacques is always so salty and not light, if it is close and far away.She will also resemble some naïve civilian girl, adoring the knights in demonic uniforms, and she will lie on the railing and watch the Rant knights do their morning exercises obsessively.However, I don't think that she would be so brave to board this smuggling ship because she wanted to get close to the Rand Knight, and it is impossible for her to have any inseparable feelings with Jacques, but there is only one poor person, and that is the wishful thinking of Jacques.So at this time, I couldn't find a reason for her to choose to go on an adventure with us on a boat at such a critical juncture.Joan is a native of the Vasqui plane, and she knows how to enjoy a comfortable life.She would lie on the deck chair in a cool dress and bask in the sun, and she would not be too embarrassed when she faced the burning gaze of the sailors.She is accustomed to life on a ship, knows how to choose the delicacies of the sea, she is not as knowledgeable as ordinary civilian girls, she knows how to live a delicate life, but she is full of contempt for Jacques with an aristocratic style, but it always makes Jacques have a little hope in his heart.But lately I've been discovering some clues, and Joan is always looking for opportunities to get close to Shirley.

Newman, who occasionally joins her for a delicious seafood lunch, or basks in the sun in the aft loft on a summer afternoon.Sometimes, Noah also participates.One night, as I lay on the deck looking at the stars in the night sky over the Vaskie plane, trying to find some secrets in the star chart, so that the stars in the sky could be the best chart for night sailing, Helena was like a gentle kitten, curled up on the chaise longue next to her, half-asleep by my side.Katarina, who was always by my side, sat on the high mast and looked at the stars in the sky with me, as if to know what I was looking at.At this moment, Jacques came from the top of the staircase and sat silently beside me, looking at the quiet sea in the distance.The sea at night is nothing but the sound of the waves.He poured himself a glass of golden cider, drank a little, turned to me and asked, "Do all the people in El City like to drink this?"

”I said, "Pretty much!

Many Elemians drink a glass of golden cider as part of their breakfast or dinner. ”Jacques sat down to me and said, "I want to learn seamanship with Captain Brondy." ”Helena, who was on a chaise longue next to her, covered herself with a blanket as if she was asleep.I looked at Jacques and said to him, "That's a good idea to pass the time when you're bored." ”Jacques said: "I'm serious. ”I said, "Of course, no one here will doubt you." ”He clenched his glass tightly in his hand, hesitated slightly, and still said the reason why he came to me: "I want to ask you to help me!"

”I winked at him and asked slowly, "What do you want me to do?"

”There was silence again, like something was hard to say."

Can you help me tell Captain Blundy that I want to learn sailing from him, and he will definitely buy your face."

Jacques said to me, quickly and quickly, and blushing.I readily promised him, "If that's all there is to it, I promise you." ”"Of course, otherwise what else do you think?"

Jacques was relieved to see that I did not make any mockery of him, nor did I refuse, but readily agreed."

I'll impress you."

He swore to me.I sat up and said to Jacques, "I look forward to your changes, and I look forward to seeing your talents." ”Actually, I'm still quite curious about what inspired Jacques to learn.

Hope, the fire of gossip in his heart was also burning, and he was going to listen to him tell the story of his acquaintance with Joan, so he sat up from the chaise longue and planned to have a serious chat with him.But I didn't expect Jacques to say to me at this time: "You will see, so don't bother you to look at the stars, take your leave." ”"Hey, & amp;!

”I also wanted to talk to him, but I didn't expect him to pat his ass. strands, turned around and ran away."

Jijia, last night, I thought about it seriously, let's go separately."

Noah walked over to me and said."

Huh?"

I looked at him a little dumbfounded, wondering which of his nerves was deranged."

I don't think I can tie you up and come with me to Connathan Island."

Noah said to me."

You go to Dunai Island to do your thing, I'll go to Conason Island to gather some men, and then, as you said, go and unite the lords of some small islands, and then form an army."

It seems that he has been planning these things with the Rand Knight lately.I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's okay, I can wait, my affairs have been delayed for a long time, and I am not in a hurry." ”I felt that at this time, I should stay by Noah's side and help him."

I'll tell Captain Blunte to find a suitable island dock and disembark, and find a new boat over there to sail to Conathan, and you can take this boat to Dunai Island."

Noah sat down where Jacques had just sat down, then took Jacques's glass and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it dry in one gulp.Then, Noah said, "What's more, the destination of this ship was originally Dunai Island." ”It turned out that Noah thought that Captain Bronte's ship had been going back and forth in the past few days because he was hesitant to go to Dunai Island or Conason Island.Actually, none of our thoughts have been discussed with Captain Bronte, who has been following his own course in these seas.In recent days, the speed of the ship has slowed down, and Noah only remembered to ask about the destination of the ship."

Maybe we can try to convince Captain Blundy to take us to Conason Island, I have a way of convincing him."

As I spoke, I pulled out a walnut-sized magic crystal from my money bag, tossed it in my hand, and smiled at Noah.Noah left preoccupied, and it seemed that he had been in a state of worry lately, and he was very sensitive to everything.

Feel.So, I decided to ask Captain Blundy where he was going on this voyage, and he didn't go straight to the long sea and went straight to Koh Dunai.Pushing open the door of Captain Bronty's room, he saw Captain Blundy standing in front of the chart, thinking seriously, holding a pencil in his hand, connecting a line to the chart, and drawing several circles in the sea along the way, he took a ruler and measured a line in the sea area.He heard the door open and involuntarily glared at the door.Turning his head to see that it was me, he put away his cruel gaze, squeezed out a slight smile, and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter with coming to me?"

”"There's a young man in our team who admires you and wants to learn the art of navigation from you."

I said to him straight to the point."

It's okay, you can come over anytime you want to learn."

Captain Bronte readily agreed."

Then I'll ask him to come over tomorrow morning and learn navigation from you for a few days."

I said.Captain Blunte shrugged his shoulders noncommittally before saying, "As long as he can hold on, I don't care here." ”It was only when I heard Captain Blundy say this that I was relieved.I asked him again, "Where are we going?"

Why is the speed so slow?

”Captain Bronte returned his gaze to the chart and drew a large circle in one of the seas.At this time, I saw a simple model of a small sailboat attached to it at the edge of the circle line.Captain Blundy pointed to the large circle and said to me, "This is the area where the Dark Faceless and the Vasqui natives are engaged in a deep-sea battle. ”He pointed to a simple model of a ship and said, "This is where our ship is now." ”"As long as I sail thirty nautical miles forward, I will enter the edge of the great battlefield, I don't want to pass directly through the battle-torn Sea Clan battlefield, if I anger the Sea Clan there, with our ship speed, we don't even want to get rid of those Sea Clans.""

This is a warm current, which meanders along the edge of the battlefield to the south, and we are currently on the edge of this warm current, and I am now looking for an opportunity to wait for the north wind to blow outside, so that we can rush quickly along this field with full sails." ”Captain Bronte stopped and walked here, and it turned out that he was waiting for the wind
