This is a small offshore fishing boat with two masts in Akron. The owner of such a small sea-going boat in Bailu Town can be said to have a small fortune. He is considered to be the middle class of the town.
Lake Beringa can enter Sharkou Bay through a waterway of more than ten miles. To all the boat owners in Bailu Town who own a small offshore fishing boat like Akron's two-mast, this large, dented boat looks like it has been bitten by a shark.
The bay is their best fishing ground, with calm waves and abundant fish products. It is much more comfortable than fishing in the windy and rough sea.
Although most of the valuable rare catches are found in the open sea and storm waters, Shark Mouth Bay is rich in small sea fish of average price. However, if you can encounter a school of these small sea fish, then one day's harvest is enough to make it worth it.
Catching a rare fish is much better than risking your life in stormy waters.
An Akron two-masted offshore fishing boat is basically equipped with a crew of five to six. The owner of the boat is the captain and uses seines and block nets to conduct fishing operations in Shark Mouth Bay. According to town office statistics, the Akron owned by White Deer Town
There are probably more than a hundred small two-masted offshore fishing boats, and they are the main providers of catch for the seafood and dry goods industry in Bailu Town.
The small Akron two-masted offshore fishing boat that Claude and Verricro boarded is called the Myrdini. It is more than twenty years old. The owner is the young Captain Seberon, who was the former captain.
, that is, it has been less than two years since his father took over the captaincy of this ship. Because his wife was about to give birth to his first heir, he stopped going fishing two months ago.
, concentrate on serving his wife at home.
In order to have a ship to go to sea to find her son Ericson, Mrs. Elena went to plead with Captain Seberon. Captain Sebron generously agreed to Mrs. Elena's request and was willing to give her Mildini
The number was lent to her, but the crew and captain needed to find someone else, because Captain Sebron dismissed his men two months ago.
Mrs. Elena finally found Captain Marcelo and three other sailors who were fooling around at the Sailors and Beauties Tavern in the dock area. For the sake of the high reward offered by Mrs. Elena, they agreed to go to sea to find Ai
Rickson's whereabouts, but they only agreed to go out to sea to search for five days, and they would have to return if they couldn't find him. Winter was coming soon, and with heavy snowfall, it was very dangerous and easy to get lost at sea...
Captain Marcelo is a hired captain. He does not have his own ship, but he can be hired by the ship owner. Whether he is fishing or transporting, he has the right to receive dividends. However, Captain Marcelo is a veteran at sea and his reputation is well known in the town.
Not very good.
Other mercenary captains can own a ship of their own after three or four years of hard work, but Captain Marcelo has been a mercenary captain for more than ten years and spent all his rewards on gambling and women. Even now, he is still alone.
, he didn’t have a family or a career, so he relied on being hired by the shipowner to earn some money and hang out in the tavern.
The names of the three sailors are Angus, Weirick and Colin. They are all old acquaintances of Captain Marcelo and have gone to sea under him. However, Claude does not know whether the names of these three sailors are the same.
Really, Captain Marcelo said with a smile, sailors at sea are not so particular. They always call them whatever they please. Sometimes the nickname becomes the name...
Captain Marcelo knew Claude and Viriclo, but neither Claude nor Viriclo knew him. But Captain Marcelo said that he had a good relationship with the fathers of the two young men.
Say hello, buy each other a drink or something like that if you meet in a pub.
Although he knew that Captain Marcelo was bragging, Claude was still relieved. Now that he and Viricolo knew him, Captain Marcelo and the three sailors would not just stroll around casually this time.
Circled. Offending himself and Viricolo would mean offending the administrative director and hunter leader of White Deer Town, which would make it difficult for them to stay in White Deer Town.
Captain Marcelo's reputation is not very good, he is called a veteran at sea, but his sailing ability is still good. The three sailors are all experienced seamen, doing things in an orderly manner and cooperating well. Claude and Viry
Even if Crowe wanted to help, he couldn't help, and instead became a spectator. Under the command of Captain Marcelo, the Mildini sailed smoothly and smoothly through the winding ten-mile waterway and entered the
Shark Mouth Bay.
After sailing into the bay, Captain Marcelo relaxed, opened a bottle of whiskey and drank while steering the ship. The three sailors collected the whiskey they had been assigned, opened a barrel of rye and drank freely.
After going to sea, they discussed the distribution of drinks. There were twenty-four bottles of whiskey in two cases, one bottle for each of the three sailors a day, a total of fifteen bottles in five days, and the remaining nine bottles belonged to Captain Marcelo. Claude and Victoria
Rickero was excluded from the allotment and they could only drink rye.
Now it seems that Captain Marcelo is not like the three sailors who are planning to take all the whiskey back. He just opened the bottle and drank it. Claude went over and asked him how he planned to find the whereabouts of Erikson. Captain Marcelo drank while drinking.
Hiccup said that he would first take a walk around the Shark's Mouth Bay to see if he could spot Erikson's small fishing boat. Since Claude and Verrickson wanted to help, they climbed up the mast to serve as lookouts, hoping that they
Can find useful clues immediately.
After climbing the mast, Claude realized that he had been tricked by Captain Marcelo. Standing on the mast as a lookout in this November weather was simply a torture. The bone-chilling sea breeze could turn a person into a stiff piece of wood.
, if your hands tightly grasp the cable, you will soon lose feeling, become numb and cold. Claude has to hold the cable with one hand, put the other hand into his pocket to keep warm, and then change hands after a while...
If the sea in summer can make people feel full of vitality, then the sea now approaching winter will only make people feel cold and heartless. Looking around, you can see a dark gray and endless sea. The waves are rolling and the ship is bumping.
De stood on the mast and followed the ups and downs of the waves. He did not see any other sails of the sea ship in his field of vision...
For three consecutive days, Claude and Viriclo climbed up the mast in rotation to serve as lookouts, but they did not find any clues about the small fishing boat driven by Erikson. Even though they encountered several returning boats
Captain Marcelo drove the Myrdini over to the fishing boat and asked. The sailors on those fishing boats all shook their heads and said they had not seen it.
In the past three days, the Mildini has sailed throughout the entire Shark's Mouth Bay. When he was resting in the evening, Captain Marcelo told Claude and Verricro that he had discussed it with the sailors and was preparing to return tomorrow.
Walk along the coastline and drive slowly, so you will be back at the dock in Bailu Town on the fifth day.
Viricero got a little angry and quarreled with Captain Marcelo. He thought this was perfunctory. Captain Marcelo and Lady Elena had agreed to search for five days, instead of counting the time of departure and return.
.
Captain Marcelo shrugged and said that the weather is getting colder, the clouds in the sky are getting thicker and the sky is getting darker, all of which indicate that a heavy snowstorm will soon come in the near future. As
A qualified captain must be responsible for the safety of the lives of the people on board and cannot allow everyone to take unnecessary risks.
In addition, Claude and Viriclo should also be aware that they have searched the entire bay in the past three days and found no clues. This can only indicate two possibilities, one is that Erikson has gone back, and
If you miss it, maybe you can see Erikson standing at the pier to greet everyone when they return. The second possibility is that Erikson is not in this bay, and searching here for a few days will be in vain.
What Captain Marcelo said made sense, and Viriclo was speechless. But Claude suddenly thought, if he were Erikson, where would he be waiting for the return of the merchant fleet?
Bok'ar discovered the plans of his fathers, so he knew the news of opening a new route to the Nubisian continent, and he also learned the whole situation from him. Obviously, as the explorer and pioneer of the new route, Otruni
The captain should tell Erikson, his only son, about the new route. Erikson will most likely head to the stormy waters to greet the arrival of the merchant fleet.
"I think I know where Ike is," Claude said.
"Really, where is he?" Viricero asked in surprise.
"Kurulu Flying Fish Island." Claude said with certainty.
Captain Marcelo put down the bottle of wine in his hand and frowned: "Impossible, what was he doing there?"
Klulu Flying Fish Island is located on the edge of the open sea and stormy waters. It is a small island. There is only one volcano on the island and a clear spring on the hillside. Many ocean-going ships like to go there to replenish clean water. If it is not available all year round,
If there is a storm, this flying fish-shaped island may be able to develop an island town.
When the weather is clear, the scenery on the island is good. There are beaches on all sides of the island, and there is also a small date palm forest. However, because it is close to the stormy sea, when the storm comes, the sea surges, and only a volcanic crater is left above the sea, and the beach is
The woods will be submerged by the sea water. The island's terrain resembles a flying fish, and a flying fish called Krulu is also abundant near the sea area, which is why it is named after the flying fish.
"Are you sure that Ike went to Krulu Flying Fish Island? Didn't his father, Captain Otruuni, lead the merchant fleet to open trade routes to the kingdoms in the southern part of the continent? If Ike is going to meet his father's merchant fleet
, then he should wait here in the bay instead of running to Klulu Flying Fish Island in the stormy sea." Captain Marcelo looked at Claude suspiciously.
Claude nodded helplessly: "I think I can be sure that Ike will be at Krulu Flying Fish Island. I once heard him say that he wanted to go there and climb to the top of the volcano to see the sea. And he was driving a small fishing boat on the sea.
There is no shortage of food, but if there is no water, we will definitely go to Klulu Flying Fish Island to replenish fresh water. We are now at the mouth of the bay, which is only half a day's journey from there. I think we can go there and have a look. If we don't find it, we will return.
.Besides, I have a feeling that Ike will definitely be there!”
"What about you?" Captain Marcelo asked Vericro: "Do you also think that Ike will go to Krulu Flying Fish Island?"
Verricro didn't understand why Claude insisted on going to Klulu Flying Fish Island to look for Erikson, but this did not prevent him from supporting Claude's decision. Besides, it was better to go to Klulu Flying Fish Island to look for Erikson.
It would be better for Captain Cello and the others to go back perfunctorily: "I support Claude's decision. His intuition has always been very effective. I also suspect that Ike will be there. If he is not found, he can return immediately."
Captain Marcelo looked at Claude, then at Verrico, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I will go with you. We will take turns to rest at night, and we will set off overnight, so that we can arrive in Crewe early tomorrow morning.
Near Lufei Fish Island. That way, no matter whether we can find it or not, we can return during the day. I just hope that we will have good luck and it won’t snow heavily before we go home!”
