Seeing the cards on the table getting longer and longer, the shipwright couldn't help but hold his breath.
He grabbed the next card from his deck, turned it over and saw that it was a 4 of spades. Then he looked at the long line of cards on the table. He didn't see another 4 in it, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Take a breath.
Somewhat unwillingly, he put the cards in his hand at the end.
A flash of joy flashed in the little maid's eyes. "It's my turn!"
After saying that, she also grabbed a card, the 7 of clubs, which was also the only 7 on the table.
Fitzwilliam suddenly became excited again, and when the little maid put down the 7, he was about to draw another card.
Now that there are eleven cards on the table, the probability that his next card will not be repeated is very small, so the only question left is how many cards can be eaten.
However, before the shipwright could kill everyone, Clara turned her head and looked at the alarm clock on the table, suddenly grabbed the poker on the table and put it back into the card box.
At the same time, he shouted, "No more playing, no more playing, Lord Prophet, he will be back soon! Don't tell him that I am playing cards with you later."
The shipwright looked a little confused. He watched Clara put away her cards, hesitated for a moment, and then sincerely asked for advice.
"Didn't you say before that believers who believe in Saturday should have a deep understanding of the importance of rest and entertainment, so playing cards is also a spiritual practice?"
"That's someone else. As for me... I've already overspent this week's vacation." Clara stuck out her tongue and said with regret, "I will definitely be scolded again if I get caught, so you must be careful
Don't betray me."
"Uh...okay, okay."
After the minute hand on the alarm clock had moved about fifteen spaces, the sound of horse hooves finally came from outside the door.
The little maid opened the door immediately and welcomed him out with a warm face.
Fitzwilliam quickly put down the water glass in his hand and followed Clara out the door.
It was dark outside, and the stars in the sky were twinkling.
A black figure got off the horse and handed the reins to the maid. Then he glanced at Fitzwilliam and said before the boatman could speak, "Are you playing cards with her?"
"No, how could it be possible? It's impossible!" Clara was shocked at first, and then she denied it three times in a row.
"Then why are you two up so late at night?" Li Yu asked.
"…………"
The little maid was speechless, and the boatman also cast a helpless look at her.
"I'll give you two months, three thousand common words, so that you can read and write proficiently." Li Yu did not give Clara a chance to continue to defend herself, and directly announced her punishment.
"Three thousand commonly used words? Only two months?" The little maid wailed, "This is too difficult! And don't I have to take two days off every week? This is written in the commandments, isn't it?
As a prophet, do you want to openly break the commandments?!"
"Of course you must abide by the commandments. Three thousand words in two months may be difficult for others, but your memory is so good. As long as you are willing to have snacks, you can still do it, and it will not delay your rest." Li Yu said calmly.
.
After saying that, he ignored the mournful Clara and turned to Fitzwilliam again, "Are you Fitzwilliam? How is your sister now?"
"As you predicted before, she has fully recovered now," the boatman said respectfully. "My sister's survival is all due to the kindness of you and Mr. Saturday, so I also want to join the Shuangxiu Cult!
"Well, but I'm from the Weiting family. My family was involved in a rebellion before. Now we are all sinners of the empire. I wonder if that's okay?"
"Of course, regardless of identity, gender and race, the door of Shuangxiujiao is open to everyone. I will preach here every Friday afternoon, explain the teachings of Shuangxiujiao, and organize corresponding activities. At that time
You can come and participate."
Seeing a flash of doubt in Fitzwilliam's eyes, Li Yu added.
"We adopt a new calendar during the weekends, counting seven days as a week, from Monday to Sunday. I will let Mary tell you the specific time later."
"Okay, okay."
"I heard from Ilea that you were a shipwright before and built warships?" After a pause, Li Yu asked again.
Fitzwilliam smiled bitterly, "Yes, before I was arrested, I was helping my family build the largest warship in the empire, the Sea King. Unfortunately, it was not completed in the end. Moreover, after I came to the West, I was far away from the sea, and my skills were useless.
The place of martial arts.”
Li Yu was noncommittal upon hearing this, "What kind of weapons do you usually have on the warships you build?"
Fitzwilliam also got excited when talking about his old profession, "The battleships of the Wettin family are generally equipped with rams. The rams are located under the waterline of the bow and are wrapped in bronze. As long as they hit the side of the enemy ship with the rams
, generally can cause huge damage.
"If the keel is broken, it can directly sink the enemy ship. In addition, if the soldiers on the ship are elite enough, we will also be equipped with a woodpecker suspension bridge.
"Well, it's just to add a beak-like pointed end to the front of the suspension bridge. As long as it penetrates into the enemy ship, the soldiers on the ship can kill them along the suspension bridge.
"However, the Woodpecker Suspension Bridge also has disadvantages, that is, it is too heavy and will affect the stability of the ship. If it encounters strong winds and waves, it can easily capsize.
"In addition, the Wei Ting family will also install some trebuchets on the ship. However, the power of simple stones is limited, so the Wei Ting family also invented the ocean fire."
"Ocean Fire?"
"Yes, it is a terrifying flame that can still burn on the sea surface. It is almost impossible to extinguish it after being hit, and can keep burning for a long time. It is one of the two major weapons of the family across the world."
Speaking of this, Fitzwilliam showed a look of regret on his face, "Unfortunately, the formula of Ocean Fire has always been only in the hands of a few core members of the family, and now those people are dead, Ocean Fire is also
Completely lost.”
Li Yu estimated that the ocean fire that the shipwright mentioned was probably a liquid combustible agent similar to Greek fire. The Romans indeed used this thing to shock the world.
The main ingredients may be petroleum and sulfur, and he might try to mix it up if he has the chance in the future.
Li Yu asked again, "What about the other weapon?"
"The Sea King's Halberd! It's a giant crossbow. I can make this one." Fitzwilliam said, "The Sea King's Halberd equipped on the Sea King is the largest and can easily shoot through small warships that dare to approach!"
"Oh, can you make it now?" Li Yu's expression changed when he heard this.
"Yes, as long as you give me enough manpower and materials." Fitzwilliam said simply.
"I will talk to Ilea later. You don't need to farm anymore. Just stay here and build the Sea King Halberd for me. Build three of them first. I will use them." Li Yu also replied.
