A month passed quickly. After experiencing several regular storms along the way, the Twin Fin Shark finally passed through the Western Sea and the Raging Sea and arrived at the Starlet Sea, which sailors call the Starlight Sea. This sea area is located in Grant Continent.
In the south, they gradually approached the port of Cania in the south of Grant.
This day is March 16th. In the morning, the Twin Fin Shark started sailing on the route to Cania Port and Staret Island. The pirate flag representing the Twin Fin Shark was lowered and replaced by an embroidered
A whale's flag flutters high on the top of the main mast.
"Our ship is now called the Gray Whale!" Blake said to the two of them after watching the sailor change the flag.
Steven asked a little strangely but also somewhat understandingly: "Why did you change the flag to become the Gray Whale?"
Black said: "This is mainly to avoid the precautionary measures taken by the Yugoslav Navy in case of encountering the Yugoslav Navy. The Double Fin Shark is an officially named pirate ship. It is very dangerous if it is touched by a naval warship, so we are now the Gray Whale smuggling ship."
The ship, which carries a large amount of spices, herbs and tobacco that is a specialty of the New World, can withstand inspection."
"Are there any government ships at sea specifically designed to intercept smuggling ships?" Kate asked.
"No, you will only be fined and paid taxes and fees when docking at the port. The government doesn't care what ships are wandering on the sea, they only care about the dock." Black replied.
"The Twin Fin Shark is no longer docked at the port?" Steven asked.
"Of course! When we approach the offshore sea, we will bypass the port, find a familiar place to park in the shallow sea near Kania, and then contact the smugglers. They will sail over to carry the goods. They are usually familiar and old customers.
Only in this way can we ensure safety." Blake sounded like a big businessman.
When sailing on the busy route of the Starrett Sea, you will encounter various sailboats passing in the opposite direction not far away every day.
You can even occasionally see huge steam sailing ships. When these cruise ships meet, they will sound loud whistles and thick smoke will emit from their thick chimneys. Their speed is obviously much faster than ordinary sailing ships.
That day, Captain Langdon went to the deck to find the three people who had just finished practicing swordsmanship, and took them to the captain's cabin. Since Steven and Kate completed the operation on the giant island, Langdon arranged for the two of them.
There was a new rest cabin, and they no longer slept in the captain's cabin with Langdon.
Several people followed Langdon into the cabin. Langdon closed the door and walked to the wooden table, motioned for them to sit down, and then asked several people: "Steven, Kate, what do you want to drink? Do you want some rum?"
Or coffee or black tea?”
"Let's have a cup of coffee!" Steven nodded, and Kate and Blake also ordered coffee.
After placing the steaming coffee cups in front of the three of them, Langdon poured himself a glass of rum. He raised his glass and said to several people: "Thank God! We finally arrived at Cania Port safely. We met many people along the way.
It’s an extraordinary thing. Without the selfless help of these two gentlemen, I’m afraid this voyage of the Double Fin Shark would have been its last!”
Steven and Kate said a few polite words, and they waited for Langdon to say the next key content.
Langdon took a sip of wine, put down the glass and said to the two of them: "I guess the two gentlemen also know about Blake's experience. I'm glad that you two have become good friends! I grew up watching Blake on the ship, but
I can't give him anything now. Originally, I wanted him to take over the Twin Fin Shark after I retire, but I'm very conflicted. Blake's interest is not in the Twin Fin Shark. I saw this a few years ago.
Already."
He went on to say: "Blake's ambitions and interests cannot be realized on the ship! So I want to ask these two gentlemen. Although this seems a bit presumptuous, I can no longer delay Blake's youth, which should be spent for ideals.
Time! He will be buried on the ship eventually."
Kate said: "Mr. Langdon, we have been friends through thick and thin! You don't have to be polite to me and Steven. We know very well about Blake. If you have anything, please feel free to tell us."
Langdon stopped Black's move to speak with his eyes and then said: "Listen to me first, Black, I would like to ask you two to help Black find a college, preferably Yordon College where you graduated, so that he can study systematically.
Knowledge, this does not mean that you will not come back to the Twin Fin Shark. Blake, after graduation, you can freely choose whether to stay on land or return to the ship. You can make the decision at that time, okay?"
Steven said: "It's easy! Mr. Langdon, as long as we recommend Blake, he can enter the academy and we will help him complete the relevant procedures! I'm glad you can come to school in our hometown! Blake! Become me
Being a junior fellow student with Kate will be a wonderful experience in your life!" He smiled and patted Blake on the shoulder.
Blake said: "But I don't want to leave you alone on the boat! Hans!"
Langdon shook his head and said: "Not alone! Blake, everyone on the ship is together! I understand what you mean! Virgo and the others are all my brothers! You don't have to worry, the difficult voyage that is about to be completed may be unique!
I don’t think the Twin Fin Shark will ever encounter this kind of situation again!”
Kate also seemed very happy: "This is a good thing! Blake, in addition to completing courses at the college, you can also become a research assistant for a professor! Get a lot of practical experience in areas that interest you! You have a good understanding of machinery and
Interest in firearms can be fully satisfied in the academy, and the knowledge you need to learn can also be truly acquired!"
After several people's persuasion, Blake finally agreed. In his heart, he really wanted to systematically learn about machinery and other aspects ashore. After all, what he could learn on the ship was limited. But he couldn't bear to be separated from Captain Langdon, so he felt very sad.
contradiction.
The last few people settled down, and after the cargo on the ship was unloaded, the three of them followed the unloading ship to the shore, and then went to the port of Cania first, where they rested for a few days and then discussed how to return to Bordeaux City.
Another problem that has not been completely resolved is the church's pursuit of Steven.
It was for this reason that they hid in the dark rainforest, but it has been almost three years now. According to usual practice, the church should not pursue the matter again within three years. After all, the two did not harm church personnel back then.
, just took over what Field gave to Steven, and the scroll is probably not the original thing of the church.
A few days later, the sailing route of the Double Fin Shark deviated from the direction to the port of Cania. It came to the open sea to the north of the port and slowly approached the mouth of a river. After anchoring, a rowing boat was put on the boat and several sailors rowed.
After getting on the boat, the first mate Vergang was sent to the shore and returned.
Virgo will contact the smuggler, who will then arrange for an offshore transport ship to transfer the goods.
