Chapter 247 The Captain's Daily Life and Those on Duty
After that day, time seemed to fly extremely fast.
"Mr. Ed, your boots."
Fang Plover watched Pasha polish his boots with a pair of thin, dark hands, and then handed them over respectfully. He raised his head, looked at the other person's black and white eyes, with a hint of expectation, and endured
He couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "It's very beautiful, but there is no need to do this. I said, Pasha, if you want to stay, you can stay, but we don't do this here."
"But Miss Sylvide told me that you are the captain of the group. You are also the captain of this 'ship'. The captain should be dignified. You must have a waiter or servant to call you, right? Ai
Mr. De, you don’t have to worry. I’m not reluctant at all. Everyone treats me very well when I stay here. Except for my mother, no one treats me so well. I’m very satisfied.”
"This is not a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction," Fang Plover couldn't help but hold his forehead. Sylvester was good at everything, but her ideas always carried some inherent views of this world. She also often told him that he should be respectful in front of everyone.
Be more dignified, especially after you have sailors in the future. But the noble daughter is particularly stubborn in this regard——
"There are some things. Don't just listen to Miss Sylvide. There are some problems with her ideas..."
"But everyone says she is the mistress."
"Lord, Lord what?" Fang Yu blushed and asked stammering.
"That's the mistress, my lord," Pasha replied weakly, "your wife."
"Why, how, everyone knows...?"
Pasha shook his head: "No, Miss Alyssa told me."
Fang Plover slapped his forehead.
What Alyssa said, doesn't that mean everyone knows it? Is there anyone in this group who likes to spy on gossip more than Alyssa and share it with others? This may be the nature of Nightingale's profession, because there is a natural nature in it.
Including Parker, who is born with a big mouth.
Of course, the lethality of that Papalar man is much smaller than this one.
He had been deceived enough by this smiling young lady earlier, and he had always thought that she was sincere and willing to listen——
But when he thought about his experience in Fenris, Fang Yu felt that he was the most stupid person in the world. Wasn't he almost fooled by the two sisters at that time? He only regretted that he had not discovered this earlier.
By the time I found out, it was already too late to regret——
"Those are two different things," Fang Pulong said, "First of all, I'm not married to Miss Sylvide. Secondly, I'm not your master... God, what are you thinking in your head?"
thing?"
"Pasha is a slave, isn't it normal for him to think so?"
A voice came from behind him.
Fang Plover looked back and realized that it was the little princess with pigtails, the daughter of the contemporary Sand King from Istania. Seeing the latter, he couldn't help but sigh - here we go again
A problem child, and he would rather deal with Pasha than the little princess.
This princess of the sand perfectly explained what tit-for-tat means - she and Tian Lan were like two small powder barrels, the kind that could be lit at the drop of a hat. Fang Plover glanced at each other and then sighed:
"Didn't you go after your favorite lover?"
"Luo Yu, he ignored me," Afifa fiddled with her pigtails angrily: "Huh, no, isn't it just the one that's bigger and has fairer skin? It's really annoying. You're earlier than me because of yourself.
After getting to know Mr. Luo Yu and calling him here and there, one day Mr. Luo Yu will get tired of this jealous woman."
Here it comes, here it comes again.
Fang Plover looked deeply and speechlessly at the undulating sea of sand outside the platform.
Ever since Her Royal Highness the little princess temporarily boarded the ship, Mr. Huiyan has been carrying this platform on his back. The jealousy between him and Tianlan can almost fill the entire Silver Sand Sea. In fact, the big cat man once jokingly said
In Tansnier, one could also smell the sour smell of two little girls' jealousy. He didn't say anything, but he believed it in his heart.
Tansnir is the port city of Istania, not too far from here.
Moreover, this Princess Afifa has inherited the boldness, enthusiasm, and straightforwardness of the desert woman. In Fang Yu's opinion, if Luo Yu hadn't focused all his attention on Tian Lan, Tian Lan would not be as sharp as he is.
The rival of the sharp-tongued Princess.
Fortunately, it seems that with Luo Yu's current state, it is probably quite far away for the opponent to win from this long game.
As a captain, of course he would not let such a thing happen.
After all, Tianlan is also one of his team members, so of course he won't turn his elbows outward. Fang Plover had made up his mind early on, and when he arrived at Tansnier, he would ask the princess, who couldn't calm down, to get off the boat as soon as possible.
Anyway, the other party seemed to be reaching his limit while staying on the boat.
There is no need to complain to him all day long about the poor accommodation conditions on the ship, the bad food, and all the princess-like problems.
However, Afifah did not realize that she was unwelcome at all. She was taking a step forward, lying on the side of the boat and looking at the undulating desert scenery outside - Mr. Gray Rock certainly did not go deep into the Silver Sand Desert, and he will not now
There are a few naive travelers who do this.
The Seven Seas Brigade actually walked eastward along the Dwarf Mountains, passing diagonally from the edge of the desert in a direction where the coast of Harinakonghai could be seen. This was actually an ancient trade road.
This is the business route they followed.
But even so, this road is not easy to walk. In fact, there has been no easy road through Istania since before the birth of the aerostat.
It is also the isolation of the desert that creates the customs and customs of Istania that are very different from those of the northern continent.
Only then did Fang Yu remember what Afifah had said before, looked at the other party and asked: "You said Pasha is a slave, what's the matter? Are there still slaves in Kaolin-Ishulian?"
He couldn't help but frown. The "Stargate Declaration" was not just an agreement for the chosen ones, but also an understanding and compromise reached between the two worlds on both sides of the Stargate. In fact, in the "Stargate Declaration"
In the previous era, serfdom did exist in some places in Corrin-Ithurion, but after that, it was basically completely banned.
Of course, this situation is only limited to Kaolin. In Lotao and Oshu, the situation is different. After all, the signatories of the "Stargate Declaration" are mostly bilateral agreements with the countries corresponding to the same competition region.
At the same time, if Kaulin-Ithurian himself had not had such a wish, such an agreement would not have been achieved.
This is a strange world in itself. On the one hand, there is a highly developed alchemical civilization, but on the other hand, it has not completely emerged from the backward system in all aspects. However, since the past half century, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the countries of Aitaria.
The changes cannot be compared with those a hundred years ago.
Just like the question he is asking now.
If slavery still exists in Corin-Ithurion, including Istania, then someone must have trampled on the Stargate Declaration.
But Afifah didn't care much about this question and replied casually: "I understand what you mean. The slavery system you mentioned has naturally disappeared long ago. After all, my father will not violate the alliance on the surface.
mean."
"What do you mean?" Fang Pliong frowned and asked, "Your father still condones the existence of this system in private?"
"You are such a nasty person to talk to." Afifah turned around, flicked her braid, and glared at him fiercely with her amber eyes: "Who is my father? Of course he would not do such a thing.
But Pasha is the lowest class person in Istania, and this fact cannot be changed by my father alone."
She gave Pasha a very contemptuous look and waved her hand.
Pasha lowered his head and retreated to the side timidly. Over the past few days, he had already known the identity of this girl, the daughter of Babartan, the King of Sand. In his opinion, she was almost a person in the sky. There was actually a person on the captain's ship.
How proud he is to have such a person -
Fang Yu frowned, and with anger in his heart, Dadi grabbed the other person's hand and asked: "Who do you think is an inferior person?"
"What are you doing?" Afifah was startled and struggled hard to break away from his hand. Her two servants glanced at him from a distance, but they hesitated, probably because of Captain Fang Plover's identity.
He didn't come over at once. But after the little princess with braids withdrew her hand, she almost frowned:
"What are you doing? I didn't tell you anything."
"You say no one can do it. This is basic courtesy." Fang Pliong replied seriously.
"But I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."
Fang Yu took a breath, and probably felt that it was not worth getting angry with a little girl when he was fine. He just replied: "It's up to you elsewhere, but not on my boat."
"Here, my word is law."
Afifah pursed her lips and was speechless by his words, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Of course she understands this. At least on this 'ship', if the other party orders her to get off the ship, no matter if she is the daughter of the King of Sand or the illegitimate daughter of some god, she must get off the ship obediently. Although
As a citizen of the desert, it was not impossible for her to get out of the desert, but the humiliation was even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Her chest rose and fell, and finally she said angrily: "You, why are you angry at me? I don't have slaves. You have the ability to deal with those smugglers and cultists! My father and I have also been fighting
these people."
"You don't understand anything. Do you think everyone is equal there? As Mr. Tang De said. The hierarchy on the surface is gone, but the hierarchy in people's hearts is getting stricter. Those tricks of your Grand Guild, and
What’s the difference between us?”
Fang Yu looked into the little girl's eyes and replied word for word: "I have been dealing with them."
Afifah opened her mouth.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that this seemed to be the case.
But she was still unwilling to do so. She only clenched her fists before angrily walking out of the cabin.
"It's simply unreasonable." Fang Yu couldn't help but shook his head as he watched the little princess leave.
Just like between him and Sylvide, he felt that it was difficult to explain these things clearly to the other party - of course, compared to this unruly princess, the noble daughter was simply a considerate angel.
Now. Although Sylvide has more or less deep-rooted perceptions, at least she is willing to accept some changes.
Moreover, Fang Yu knew that his ship officer had always understood his wishes.
What he actually cares about is not rank, but respect. At least on his ship, Pasha is just an ordinary member. Likewise, Sylvide will never put on airs with anyone on the ship, and will never take advantage of anyone on the ship.
Show how she dealt with the sailors when she was on Princess Brianne's ship.
Because his team members should never bear the humiliation from anyone for no reason.
Fang Yu then turned around, looked at Pasha who was standing aside and dared not say a word, and said, "Pasha, are you okay?"
Pasha shook his head gently: "Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess was right..."
After hearing this, Fang Yu felt his eyes darken.
"This is not a question of right or wrong," he sighed longly: "Pasha, I don't care what your previous experiences are or what kind of person you are. But on my ship, you are the same person as us.
There is no difference, no one is lower than anyone else.”
He couldn't help but look at his boots: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
Pasha looked at him and asked, "Is this also a 'law'?"
Fang Plover rolled his eyes.
He replied a little exhausted: "Just think of it as a law."
"But, I can't do anything else. I can't just eat free rice, right?" Pasha said a little worriedly: "If I can't do this, does Mr. Ed mean to kick me off the ship?"
"Wait a minute, how did you hear this?"
"But--"
"No, Pasha, do you want to be a bootmaker? We don't have a bootmaker on board," Fang Plover replied angrily: "If you have nothing to do, go and learn from others. Big Cat Man, Luo
Yu and the others are willing to teach you. If you are interested in alchemy, you can also come to me."
"Can I also learn alchemy?" Pasha's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ed?"
"Of course, why not," Fang Plover replied solemnly: "Alchemists do not distinguish between men and women, they do not distinguish between high and low, and they do not distinguish where you come from. In front of the ether, no matter you are a king or a beggar, everyone is equal.
"
"Remember this passage," he replied politely: "Anyone who studies alchemy will understand this passage first. It has been handed down from the time of the Numei elves. You know why today's Kaolin-Isuli
Didn't Ann have slaves, because the alchemists didn't believe this?"
Pasha listened silently and nodded vigorously.
He suddenly looked back at the patio, then turned back and whispered: "I'm going to help Miss Attila, Mr. Ed."
"Go ahead."
Fang Yu looked at the other party's thin back, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a moment.
He kept the other party, partly because Pasha had nowhere to go. When Bunigu and the young scholar left, they took the girl with the broken arm and promised to take good care of each other. The two were grateful at the time
, in fact, it was also proposed that Pasha could be taken away and taken care of.
Although Bunigu is not yet rich, as a businessman, he at least has some continuance, which is more than enough to bear the custody of a little boy. And I believe that after what happened this time, the other party will not dare to deal with it.
What tricks are these people playing?
It was just that Pasha was unwilling to live or die and had to stay on the ship. Probably because he saw himself in the other party, Fang Plover finally felt compassion and kept the little boy on board.
And he understood that he was actually much luckier than Pasha, because at least he still had his uncle's family, while Pasha had nothing.
He didn't know how much Pasha had listened to his words——
But as he said, he doesn't need an unreasonable servant on the ship. What he needs is teammates, everyone who can be responsible for each other and deliver the goods. Fortunately, the other party seems to have some interest in alchemy.
Fang Plover can only hope that knowledge can indeed change a person.
But he saw that Pasha walked back half way, hesitantly turned back, and whispered to him a little uneasily: "Captain, when you said those words to Princess Afifah before, you were really impressive.
"
Fang Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"The mistress said that if you get used to bossing around your servants, you will naturally become more imposing towards others. I, I think, the mistress seems to have a point, Sir Captain? Sir Captain?"
"roll!"
Fang Yu slapped this guy on the head angrily.
At that moment, he suddenly had some feelings about Miss Scarpet.
…
For lunch, Miss Elf rummaged through a pile of dry food to get some food that was acceptable for everyone. But as you can imagine, it has been almost a week and a half since entering the desert, plus the previous experience in Idos
, the fresh food on the platform has long been consumed.
At the moment, they actually don't even have clean drinking water. The only fresh thing they see is a bucket of shriveled lemons left in the bottom cabin. But according to Tianlan, it's the most.
In two days, they will have to run out of water.
Fortunately, the nearest oasis is not far away.
Needless to say, a certain princess had a bitter look on her face, but she still maintained a little bit of civility in front of Luo Yu. She was too embarrassed to spit out the dry cake pieces one by one in front of Luo Yu. Tianlan squinted her eyes.
Looking at the other person, he stuffed things into his cheeks as if he was deliberately trying to get angry.
He also acted like he was chewing heavily, as if he was eating something delicious.
It's just that things must be reversed at the extreme, and this little girl finally choked herself, her face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, looking like she was about to lose her temper. Aitila looked aside and couldn't help but shook her head.
, and patted her back gently. Only then did Tianlan let out a whoosh and spit out the contents in her throat.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Fang Yu always feels that Miss Aitila has become a lot gentler recently. If Tianlan was wasting food like this before, she would definitely have to be punished.
On the other hand, Luo Hao looked at this scene with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked the fat man a little curiously.
"I will be on duty in the afternoon."
Luo Hao was about to cry: "It's my turn to wipe the deck."
Alyssa immediately bent over with laughter.
But in the afternoon, Miss Nightingale could no longer laugh.
Because Fang Yu suddenly received a message. The message naturally came from Stargate Port. To be precise, it came from a certain Princess of Silver Vislan. Needless to say, it was naturally Sophie—I didn’t know Su Changfeng.
Where did he come up with this idea? He suddenly thought of letting his daughter act as his liaison with the military.
The name was euphemistic, and he tried not to arouse suspicion from outsiders. Because he was already familiar with Sophie, and this was news that had already spread in Vanrich.
However, the other party's little thoughts cannot escape Sophie's eyes.
She was happy to have a free shield.
However, Fang Yu understood that this contact should not be a private matter for Her Royal Highness, because when the email was sent, it was also accompanied by an official letter from Stargate Port. He roughly understood what happened, and he had already informed her about it a week ago.
Everything that happened related to Dus was reported to him.
This should be after Stargate Port verified the situation and came to him to learn about the follow-up situation.
Therefore, this meeting was actually a meeting between the military and him. So naturally he had to bring Luo Hao, the military's so-called 'liaison' in their team.
As soon as Luo Hao left, the person on duty would move back one round——
