After entering this white-stone shipyard, several people finally saw the large ship that Etesi had prepared for this trip to the west.
The hull is made of white wood and is streamlined overall. There are three masts distributed along the centerline of the ship. There are three levels of cabins above the deck. It looks very harmonious and graceful in proportion.
"It's a very beautiful ship." Lorraine Hill couldn't help but comment.
Then a few people came out together with the master shipbuilder and sat in a yard next to the shipyard.
After a brief conversation, Lorraine Hill also asked curiously.
"Where did Master Fang Ying come from? I seem to have seen a shipbuilding master named Fang in the Western Continent."
"Oh, can this girl tell me the specific situation?"
After hearing Lorraine Hill mention it, the old man with a gray beard turned his eyes.
"In terms of my background, I actually come from the distant Nanfeng Continent, which is also an area with developed maritime affairs. However, our clan suffered great changes decades ago, and many clan members were displaced and lost contact."
"That's it." Then Lorraine Hill also told the old man the name of the man Angus saved in the past.
"It turns out to be my second uncle. I didn't expect to hear news about him." After hearing this, the old man sighed with emotion.
"In the vicissitudes of life, people are prone to change. When my second uncle and I separated that year, he was only in his thirties. He was a handsome man in the clan. I don't want him to grow old in these years."
"There is probably not much blood left in the Fang family nowadays. I'm glad that this young lady can tell me this."
"If you have the chance, please send him or his descendants a message, saying that I live in a village called 'Nan Pei' in the southeast of Longquan Bay. If you are lucky, the descendants can meet again."
"I will bring it." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, girl." After saying this, the old man laughed a few times, seeming to have solved his worries for many years, and his eyesightened a lot.
"Ladies, just wait here for three days. In three days, the boat will be completed and launched."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the shipyard again, preparing to check it carefully a few times.
——————
Five days later, Lorraine Hill, Atesi and others finally boarded the ship and set sail towards the distant and empty sea.
The white sails were swollen by the sea breeze, and the waves beat against the white sides of the ship. This graceful ship sailed away from the port in the direction of the wind, moving along the pleasant undulations of the sea, leaving a long wake.
On the deck of the ship, Eidolon ran around excitedly with his hands open, like a happy child, and the two little wings behind him were flapping happily.
"I finally went to sea, hahaha~"
She jumped up from time to time and stepped on the ship's railing beside the deck, jumping up and down with her feet like walking on a wooden bridge.
Watching this scene, other people on the boat couldn't help but be infected by this joy.
Now the passengers of this white teak ship, in addition to Lorraine Hill and a group of elves, are also 30 familiar sailors that Tianhai Pavilion helped find. In addition, the sailor Lorraine Hill saw at the harbor that day was also
He was recruited because the girl discovered that this guy's talent was very good.
Name: Cabron
Race: Human (94% adaptable)
Identity: Second mate of the White Teak, former member of the Fillula Chamber of Commerce
Talent: [Downstream] (Excellent): Can delicately sense the direction of nearby water flow. (Perfect as a ship pilot)
Ability: [Chasing Waves] (Excellent): Can affect the current around the ship, making it more suitable for navigation. (Ability attached to the extraordinary job agency)
Skills: [Navigation Knowledge Lv. 5] (Excellent): This is an extremely experienced seaman who is familiar with many matters at sea and is a candidate for captain.
[Helmsman Lv. 6] (Normal): A very good helmsman, you can trust him with various tasks.
When Lorraine Hill found this dock worker that day, it really surprised the people around him, especially those who usually worked with Cabron.
They watched with extreme envy as Cabron was chosen and recruited by this wealthy lady. At that time, there were still a few people who were a little dissatisfied and wanted to recommend themselves in front of the girl. However, Lorraine Hill refused because he did not need too many people.
"Thank you very much Miss Lacey for your appreciation."
After being recruited by the girl, this man who had gone through hardships and twists and turns was extremely grateful. Now he is nearly 40 years old, which cannot be said to be young among sailors. Even if he is Sequence 4, he has reached the limit of his potential, and there will be no improvement in the future.
Already.
Now being recruited by this young lady is another turning point in my life.
"Then work hard." The girl encouraged him a few words, and then asked this man to serve as the second mate and helmsman of the seagoing ship.
After leaving Longquan Bay, the White Teak where the girl was and the fleet of Tianhai Pavilion passed through and headed west, quickly approaching the Pearl Islands.
Standing on the deck of the ship, Lorraine Hill looked at the bright blue sky and relaxed for a moment.
We are still a few days away from the Pearl Islands. The journey has been calm and stable, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
She moved a wooden chair and sat next to the railing on the top of the boat, looking at the blue sea below that reflected the sun, with bursts of water shining from time to time.
Now when I look behind the ship, I can no longer see the outline of the Eastern Continent. The field of vision is extremely empty, almost entirely filled with blue sea and blue sky.
The sun's rays shone warmly on her body, and the blond lady felt a little sleepy for a while.
Why don't you take a nap here? Lorraine Hill leaned his head in his arms, his body and wooden chair undulated with the waves. The sound of the waves flowing from time to time was like a soothing lullaby, which made people feel
Enter a soft dreamland.
During the afternoon nap, the girl saw many childhood memories in her hazy dreams.
It was also a scene of riding a boat, but it was not a sea boat, but a duck boat in an amusement park. She was only a primary school student at that time, playing with her mother in the lake in the amusement park.
Among them are small trains running on the rails, boats in the lake, intense bumper cars in the hall, a field full of colorful plastic balls, etc. The childhood memories are full of warm colors.
There was another wave of waves crashing, the hull of the ship rose and fell while sailing, and the fresh sound of water spray rang in the girl's ears. She opened her eyes in the fierce sunshine and slowly woke up.
Are you dreaming again? The girl raised her head and looked at the still blue and calm sea.
Maybe I am homesick.
I have never felt the busyness of the past in all kinds of things. Now that I am calming down on the boat, I will inevitably start to miss the past time.
People are always like this. After being together for a long time, they will get tired of each other and want to separate and go far away to find freedom. But after being free for a long time, they start to miss the warmth and closeness of home.
More than ten years have passed since I came to this world. Although I spent most of the time sleeping, time is also slowly passing by.
I wonder what happened to those friends in the Western Continent, is the new country of Crancia walking on the right path, and what is happening to my little house in the maple forest.
She still remembered that before leaving, she and Keti planted several fruit trees and plants, including dragon fruit that Keti liked, the yellow-heart watermelon she experimented with, and the crystal grapes that Ixeglin preferred.
I hope I can still see those fruits after I return home. Then I will call Keti out of her slumber in heaven and everyone will be together again.
The girl leaned against the fence, staring at the undulating sea, and many pictures appeared in her mind.
Just as she was immersed in the memories and expectations, the chirping of birds came from the air, followed by a burst of cool water droplets falling on the girl.
The orange Dai Ju was happily flying over the boat at the moment, holding a struggling white-scaled fish in its claws.
Then the big fish with white scales was thrown in front of the girl, and then the guy with wet feathers fell down unconsciously, wanting to squat in Lorraine Hill's arms.
"Let's go, you stupid bird~"
Lorraine Hill blocked the splashing water droplets with his arms and rejected the fat guy angrily.
