Dawn.The three ships rode the waves, following a current named Wauba by Captain Brondy, towards the sea east of Vasqui.According to Jacques's calculations, if the wind did not change, our fleet would arrive at Conason Island in seven days.At the front was Captain Jacques's Bélan, and Jacques was able to take command of the Belan, mainly because he had learned the art of navigation with Captain Blunte for a while, and he mingled with the sailors on the Beran, many of whom liked this aristocratic boy with a straightforward personality.So there was almost no objection to Jacques becoming the captain of the Bélan, except for the first mate of the Belan, and of course, the first mate, after a brief discussion with us, decisively gave up the fight for the Beran, and honestly continued to be the first mate of the Belan.So, really speaking, the personnel structure on the Belan is the best-preserved of the three ships.The Beran was followed by Noah's slave ship, which Noah had now named the Shirley and had sailors paint the name on the hull.In fact, he had the intention of naming it the Mermaid Princess, but this was just a thought, and then secretly told me about it, if you want the backyard not to catch fire, you must consider Shirley.
Newman felt, at least Shirley.
Newman has now been recognized by Louis and Lady Mensa and is half a foot in the Mensa family.The Rand Knight is Louis.
Mensa's most powerful followers, who were able to follow us this time and protect Noah's safety throughout the whole process, completely relied on Louis's face, and it has to be said that the Rand Knight is an all-rounder, whether it is combat, commanding, or managing a slave trading ship, he can do it.It took the Rand knights only three days to get all the sailors on the Shirley, and the sailors were obediently at the rear, the Slave Trader, which I was in charge of, and yes, in honor of the victory in the Battle of the Nameless Isle, I named the ship the Slave Trader.I came out of the cabin, just in time to see Helena yawning, pushing open the glass window, curiously looking out into the deck, seeing me out of the cabin, smiling sweetly at me, I gestured to her and asked her if she would like to have breakfast together, but she smiled and shook her head, signaling to go back to sleep.It is estimated that Ying Li stayed up late last night, and spent ten bottles of demon blood, and finally the day before yesterday, Ying Li had a breakthrough, and she excitedly told me that she was only one step away from success.However, I guess this step is only an inference from Ying Li, and if Ying Li wants to pierce this layer of window paper, it will take a greater price.Recently, there is always a faint fragrance wafting out of Ying Li's room, always lingering.The aroma lingered in the air, sometimes drifting away from the wind, and even Jacques on the Belan could occasionally smell it.Yesterday he told me with a worried face that he had been smelling a strange scent in the sea breeze lately, and that he was worried that he would be following behind the fleet of large sea beasts like sperm whales, with a scent on their bodies.A flock of seagulls followed behind the sailboat.The sun shone warmly on the deck, and the warm sea breeze blew across the faces of the sailors.The sailors on the Slave Trader lined up in a neat line, and at the whistle of the orc warrior Karantso, they quickly lined up the phalanx on the deck, and with Karantso's whistle, although those movements were still not uniform, they were much better than yesterday.The orc warrior Karantso has only one means for these trained sailors on the ship, that is, any disobedience, any mistake will be whipped, and Karantso's whip has not known how many sailors have been whipped to the flesh in the past few days.Then Caterina would bring me in and perform hydrotherapy on the wounded sailors.Karantso instilled only one word over and over again to these sailors: obedience.In this way, Karantso became notorious on this ship.It also made me more and more famous on this ship, and many sailors were full of respect in their eyes.The effect of the military training in the past few days is also obvious, the usual scattered and disorderly state of these sailors is disappearing little by little, followed by a new mental outlook, even Noah said that my ship looks a little different every day, but there is no way to say what is different.Of course, I am not taking a high-pressure policy towards the sailors on the ship, although they have to recite the code of conduct every day, but I have also made a lot of improvements, which is to provide some new benefits for the sailors on the ship.The first was to improve the food on board, because the ship's fuel reserves were limited, and many sailors were accustomed to eating those fish raw.Of course, I'm not saying that this is a bad way to eat, but I can make them eat a little more elaborately, and that is to treat all the sailors on board to a classic sashimi dish as a reward for military training.I also prepared for several days for the most experienced sailors to catch several of the marine fish I described, such as trivial, tuna, sea bream, mackerel, shrimp, squid, and so on.Then I put a large meat table on the deck, my skinning knife was sharpened, in front of the meat table, with skillful knife technique, a tuna nearly a meter long cut into inch-long raw meat slices, and put these sashimi in a wooden trailer filled with ice chips, just the art of plating will make people appetite.Although there was no wasabi or soy sauce, I racked my brains to make fuel consumption from the resources available at sea, and supplied a small plate of fuel to some of the sailors who had excelled in training.Even so, the sailors salivated as they watched the neatly cut, deboned and skinned fish.I didn't expect that the fish dishes made in this way would make hundreds of sailors on the ship eat so that their stomachs were round, and they could not move on the deck.This cooking method is actually very simple for the sailors who have been sailing at sea all year round, they know the body structure of each fish clearly, and they just need a sharp knife and skilled knife skills to make this delicacy.Actually, I want to let them eat other ways of fish dishes in the next time, such as steaming, grilling, boiling, frying, braising and so on, but these things always come little by little.For these complex dishes, I am better at delicate knife work and an understanding of fish.The shortage of fuel on board was not a problem for the magicians, especially when a magician who was good at making magic scrolls was on this ship, so in my spare time, I drew some magic scrolls of fire-gathering and taught the two sailors in charge of cooking on the ship in great detail.This allowed him to provide hot food to the sailors on board even when the weather was bad.The second perk was my commitment to treat every sailor on board.Yes, using my hydrotherapy and some basic medical knowledge, I treated these sailors for some hidden ailments, as I found that most of the sailors on the ship had very serious skin diseases.In the most severe skin diseases, the epidermis has calcified the stratum corneum, and some scales or calcareous crusts like shells grow on the skin.Although these hard shells can have some protective effect, but they bring them trouble, it is also very big, many sailors' affected areas will be very itchy, sometimes sailors in the itchy unbearable, will use a sharp knife to scrape off the scales or hard shells on their bodies, but after scraping off the scales or hard shells, it is easy to rot.The cause of this skin disease is caused by a fungal infection caused by the fact that sailors do not pay much attention to personal hygiene.So, my method is very simple, first cut off the skin of the affected areas on the sailor's body, and then perform hydrotherapy on the patient to help him recover quickly.The third benefit builds on the second benefit.It was I who used the two warehouses on the deck of the Slave Trader to convert them into baths to provide fresh water to the sailors on the Slave Trader.After each job, the sailors washed away the condensed salt particles from their bodies in the baths, so that the fungi, seaweed, and shellfish that were suitable for growing in the sea would not choose to make their home on them, and they did a great cleaning of their dark and damp dwelling cabins.At the very least, make sure that every sailor can get into a dry and warm bed while resting.In fact, the bedding in the sailors' rooms was almost always damp and filled with a salty smell.I ordered these quilts to be thrown on the deck, to be washed with clean water, and then dried on the crossbars of the mast, and to be thoroughly dried before they were allowed to be taken back to the cabin room.In fact, what excites the sailors is the right to bathe in fresh water.Many sailors bathed a very limited number of times a year, only after the ship was docked, the sailors rented a hotel in the island city and took a hot bath in the hotel, but as the skin began to mutate, these sailors did not disembark, because the more sick they were, the more they cared about the strange eyes of other people.These days I have been following the most experienced sailors to find fish in the current, as long as they find fish, they will use the large net on the boat to catch fish, in fact, chasing the fish to catch fish, it is a pretty cool thing, especially the moment of reeling in the net, seeing countless sea fish churning in the net, several sailors pushing a huge winch to drag those sea fish to the fish store, mixed with the ice.Sometimes if you are lucky, you can catch thousands of pounds of sea fish in one net, and of course don't expect how delicious these fish are.The facts tell me that no matter how good these sea fish taste, after they were transported back to the Xinliu Valley, they immediately became the most popular meat, first of all, the orc warriors had the largest share, and secondly, the native laborers of Hierro, who had never eaten sea fish, and then the remaining sea fish would be rewarded to the most diligent barbarian slaves, and even the leftover fish bones would not be wasted, and they would be thrown to the goblin slaves who dug caves, and these goblins would fight because of a fish bone on the ground.The Slave Trader was the best way to get meat, and it was even easier to transport it to the Willow Valley, just erect a portal at the outlet of the bilge, and then open the outlet of the fish tank, and the sea fish would pour into the portal mixed with ice, piling up like a hill on the teleportation altar.The orcs would pack the fish into the cave warehouse along with the ice.In this vast expanse of the sea in the Vasqui plane, there are always countless fish.While on the ship, I secretly returned to the Valley of the Willows a few times, and Bernd commanded all the forces at his disposal in the Valley of the Willows, actively laying the rails, which were laid very quickly, from the teleportation altar to the storage of the demonic bloodstone room, the section of the road was already laid.It was in this state that our fleet headed for Conason Island.Jacques also swore in the morning that he pointed to the charts and told Noah and me that in three days, the fleet would be able to reach Conason Island.But at noon, I found that there was a dark cloud as black as ink in the sky of the eastern sea, and those rolling clouds kept devouring the sky, and there was an explosion of rolling thunder in the distance, under the cover of dark clouds, from time to time there were lightning splits, and the lightning in those dark clouds gathered together, from the clouds to the sea, forming a thunder waterfall.The wind at sea had also become a little unpredictable, blowing east and north for a while, and although Jacques quickly gave the order for the ship to lower its sails and change course, and first to make a detour to the south, preferably to avoid the storm, it was evident that he had somewhat underestimated the speed with which the storm was coming.By the time we spotted the storm, it was too late.Those dark clouds in the sky, like a galloping horse, quickly engulfed our fleet.Rain the size of a bean fell on the ship, and by this time all the sails on the mast had been lowered, but the wind still blew the ship towards the center of the storm, and lightning fell on the surface of the sea in the black clouds.The waves had risen and fallen from a slow start to a casual rise of three or four meters, and our boat rose and fell in the raging waves, which was completely beyond Jacques's ability.At this time, Jacques patted his head and remembered that if he could find a sheltered island and anchor three ships near the island, he might be able to avoid this storm, but unfortunately, when Noah thought of this idea, we were already swallowed up by the dark clouds.Jacques unfolded the chart, laid it out on the table, drew a large circle on it with a pen, and said to us: "This is the area where our ship is now, but we are sorry that according to the chart, there are no islands around this area suitable for our boats." ”The wind and waves at sea are getting stronger.
