The raised bow of the streamlined boat sank again as the speed slowed down. Leonardo had already walked out of the cabin, and he stood firmly on the bow, as if the ups and downs of the bow had no effect at all.
to him.
After the two boats approached, he jumped over fiercely. As soon as he stood firm, he roared: "What's going on with you? Why do you look so tired?"
The attendants all lowered their heads and did not dare to refute. There was no way to refute - no matter what, their opponents were right in front of them, and they could not resist, so they could only accept the lesson.
"Do you think you'll relax when you're about to arrive? How many times have I told you, stay vigilant, stay vigilant! It's all in vain! I'll lecture you again later!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked up the stairs leading to the bridge. Pauleicht was already waiting for him at the hatch:
"Captain, what is going on?"
"It's a defense exercise! Such a big port must have some defense strength. I'll test it with you when you come back. Your change of direction was quite timely, but the gunners on the ship don't usually have much training? This reaction speed is enough.
I've sunk you three times!"
Pauleicht felt a little unable to hold his head up.
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Where are the people who are coming to pick up the boat?"
Pauleicht pointed at Richard, who was still unconscious in the corner of the wall.
Leonardo felt a little strange: "How did he become like this?"
"I swerved and didn't catch it. I was thrown out and knocked unconscious."
"..."
Pauleicht suddenly remembered the key question:
"By the way, how long have I been out?"
Leonardo turned around and showed sympathetic eyes:
"You got dizzy at sea? Didn't you just go out last month?"
Poleicht let out a sigh of relief, and then even greater doubts emerged:
"Then what happened here? Why has it changed so much? We almost didn't recognize it when we came back."
"I don't understand either. You can ask your teacher yourself when he comes. Ever since your teacher got the terraforming machine, he has been going crazy, changing things around here from time to time. This mesa is full of
I don’t know why the dock location he reserved is so wide. Okay, the tugboat is here, let’s dock quickly!”
As soon as Richard opened his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by a circle of people. He was startled, and he didn't even care about the pain in his head. He crawled back a few steps using his hands and feet, and heard a familiar voice.
Voice: "Richard, what are you crawling for?"
"Well, with so many people surrounding me, I thought something had happened."
"It's okay, do you remember what happened?"
He just turned over and stood up and recalled it, but he only recalled the steel plate that hit him at high speed.
There was a dull pain in his forehead again. The whispers of the crowd reached his ears.
"He won't be knocked stupid, right?"
"Don't you still know how to hide? You must not be stupid."
He quickly got up: "No, I'm fine!"
A young man in the crowd nodded: "As long as it's okay, can you still receive the ship?"
"Okay, okay!"
Richard just wanted to take over the cargo ship and go back to see his family.
"It's okay, Richard, our time is not affected!"
Polecht, who knew what he was still worried about, offered words of comfort.
"Not affected? So what are the changes here?"
The young man who nodded answered his question:
"We built it a little in advance and used some magical means."
It would be understandable if there were magical means. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
"Let's go and see your ship."
Only then did Richard notice that he was already standing on the huge platform he had seen before. Not far away, the alchemy ship carrying him and another large black iron ship were steadily moored at the pier.
.While walking with the crowd, he looked around curiously.
The ground under your feet is not made of stone, and there are no joints. It looks similar to the pier in Xingdao. The ground has a grainy texture full of friction, which makes walking more reassuring than the stone pier. It is not far from me.
, there are many parallel sticks on the ground, shining brightly in the sun.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, nothing."
He turned his head hurriedly and found that the young man was standing behind him, looking in the direction he was looking at, which made him slightly panicked - it was not a good thing to just look around on the mage's territory.
Unexpectedly, the young man just smiled: "That thing is a transportation track, and it hasn't been completed yet. All your sailors have been taken to the ship, let's go."
Richard's resistance to the big ship only lasted until the moment he stepped onto the deck. He stamped his feet so many times that the steel plates made a dull sound: "Is this really made of iron? How many iron plates did it take?
?”
"Actually, it's not much. This ship is not complicated."
"Isn't this complicated? Not much?"
Richard sighed in his heart.
The structure of the bridge was similar to that of the small gunboats that he was already somewhat familiar with. Apart from sighing that a full circle of transparent crystal windows were installed on the cargo ship, that was all.
The part that really shocked Richard was yet to come.
In his expectation, for such a tall ship, the corridors inside the hull must be dark, and it seemed so. He faced the dark staircase, squinted his eyes, and stepped down bravely.
When he was halfway there, a soft sound suddenly came from behind.
"Click."
Richard, who had slightly adapted to the darkness, suddenly felt himself surrounded by light. He could hardly open his eyes. If he hadn't known that he was in a safe environment, he might have run away!
In just a moment, he had regained his sight. In front of him was a bright corridor. There was something on the top of the corridor, which illuminated the dark corridor that he had always remembered.
He pointed to the zenith: "What is this? Magic lighting?"
"right."
He couldn't bear it any longer: "How much did this boat cost? Even the corridors have magic lighting. I'm worried that if it wears out, they will ask me to pay for it. I can't afford it!"
“Who said you’d have to pay for it if it’s worn out?”
The young man showed a surprised expression.
"If the lighting is broken, it's broken. How much does this thing cost?"
"But I heard that this kind of lamp is very expensive, isn't it? There are thousands of gold coins, or tens of thousands of gold coins. It is more expensive than my entire boat. How can I afford to pay for it if it breaks down?"
The young man didn't seem to know how to explain it at once: "Anyway, this thing is not expensive, and if it breaks in the first year, we will repair it. You can use it without worry."
Pie in the sky!
Richard couldn't believe it, and after confirming it several times, he reluctantly accepted the strange phrase from the young man's mouth: "One-year warranty!"
"This cabin is the captain's cabin."
The young man grabbed a handle, pointed to the door number and said to Richard: "Go in and take a look, the light switch is here."
Richard fumbled to turn on the switch, and when faced with the scene in the room that suddenly emerged from the darkness, he could hardly believe himself.
"This whole cabin is mine?"
"It should be said that it is yours to use while you are commanding the ship. After all, the ownership of this ship is Star Island."
"Are you kidding me? Is this a real bed? Isn't it an illusion?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
Richard walked into the room. He faced this almost fully functional room with a table, a chair, and a bed. The dissatisfaction caused by being forced to change ships disappeared at this moment. He was used to his little wood.
In the narrow captain's cabin on the ship, he could no longer believe that there was even a wardrobe cabin that he could use alone.
"This cabin can accommodate 10 people..."
"It's not necessary. The crew members have their own cabins. Although it's not as spacious as here, at least there's no need to squeeze in 10 people."
He stood in the center of the cabin. This feeling as if he had fallen into a dream made him lack a real feeling. In all his arrogant fantasies, he never thought that he would have such a dream on a ship where space is precious and should be very crowded.
Although it is not too big, it is a decent bedroom with complete functions.
He was stunned for a long time until the young man said again: "Let's go and see the crew's quarters."
After walking two more flights of stairs, the crew members who had come earlier were already here, and their warm cheers could be heard at the top of the stairs.
Richard looked in through the open hatch and saw the crew yelling at the three-tier bunks - although there wasn't much space, at least they didn't have to sleep between cargo barrels and sacks!
"Captain! It's great here!"
A crew member saw Richard standing at the door and shouted to him with joy: "We finally have a bed! No more sleeping in a hammock!"
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Seeing how noisy the scene was, Pauleicht couldn't help it anymore. He shouted to the crew: "Stop your behavior! The introduction is not over yet! Follow us and hurry up!"
However, the next cabin once again drove the crew into madness, and even Paulecht himself couldn't help but feel envious.
"Is this the place I guessed?"
"That's right. I don't think this place can do anything else?"
"That's right! This is the place you guessed! This is the toilet!"
Recalling the experience of tying himself to a rope and squatting on two planks on the deck in the wind and waves, Richard felt tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at the crew members around him and found that they all had the same miserable expression.
.
A strong feeling of happiness hit them.
However this is not the end.
In the next cabin, facing the water pipes spouting hot water, everyone from Richard to Paulecht fell into a daze.
"This is more convenient than my home..."
One crew member couldn't help but scratch at his dirty clothes.
"Who isn't...this place...is amazing..."
However, after the surprise, Richard's worries came to mind again: "This boat... although it is not very luxurious, it is so convenient!"
He couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Is this cultivation?"
"Repair! If everything on this ship breaks down within a year, we will repair it!"
The young man answered in a very positive tone.
Richard sighed: "Hey, I'm more worried that the big shot above will change his mind. If it breaks down and we have to pay for compensation, we won't be able to afford the compensation even if we sell the boat."
Poleicht couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the person in front of you is the big shot above! Let me introduce you formally. The person in front of you is my teacher, the manager of Ta Island.
Alchemist Polu. When he says warranty, that’s warranty. When he says he doesn’t charge money, he means he doesn’t charge money!”
After he finished speaking, looking at the dumbfounded Richard, Polu asked him with a smile: "How about it? I heard that you are reluctant to part with your Kono? Will you take it back?"
"I can't bear to leave the Kono, but who said I want to go back?"
