Act 259 Flash Sea, the sea route to Ampere Searl (on)
"What's the matter, Gryphine?" Her Highness the Princess, a pale silver gown and long dress, stepped on the carriage with the help of a servant, and asked Nun-Princess Magdelle, who had been waiting for a long time in the carriage.
"Not good, Anlieke's old fox wants Halutz to go to Anlieke together," Gryphine replied lightly. The weather was still a bit cold, and the maid put a fur shawl on her side. She rolled her shawl and continued: "This is impossible. I will never give him Halutz. Presumably, Lockwood teachers and Minister Makarov will not agree."
"What should we do?" A worried expression on Nun-Princess's face, "I heard that your brother, already, has found Anlieke."
"it doesn't matter," Gryphine is not nervous at all: "Our Duke adult lion opens his mouth forget it/that's all. He knows that we cannot compromise on this condition, but he will not easily explain the one's own hole card, and at the same time he wants Know where our bottom line is. "Speaking here, half-elven girl looked up at the sky of Ampere Searl lightly.
Although it is close to Year of Sword's Month of Recovery, the sky of this metropolis is still gloomy ashen color, as if snowflakes will fall at any time.
Gryphine sighed: "There's more to talk about, Dini."
...
In Kirrlutz, the explorers control the west of Aouine and the inland sea south of Kirrlutz is called Flash Sea. Going west from Gris fishing port, you enter this sparkling, pale blue ocean surface, and then turn north to enter one of the main channels of Ampere Searl.
The air is clear today, and a beautiful and light three-masted sailboat is breaking the waves. As it is near land, there are seagulls on the mast. This ship is filled with papyrus and crystal ornaments, disguised as a merchant ship from the southern Lubeck kingdom. -- Lubeck is the southernmost desert country of Flash Sea, full of exotic flavors. There is an overland commercial road from Lubeck to Nine Phoenixes, but Brando is not I have been there a few times, after all, it is too far away from -- and now this sailing boat is called 'Far Away'. It has a short age and is a registered merchant ship that can also be checked at Ampere Searl. Cagliss can The acquisition of such a boat still entrusted the Fir Tree Shire Group represented by Brando with the businessmen of Ampere Searl. This is a Clipper, according to those who are now living at sea, as a 'best man'.
The captain of ‘Far Away’ is quite young, only in his thirties. Most other people like him are still the first officer, but on the other hand, it also indicates that the captain is capable. The young captain is like a king on the boat, and does not obey the authority of nobles. It happens that Brando has no noble frame. The two get along well.
The captain is called James. Unlike other navigators, he takes care of himself very cleanly. Whether it is a beard or a dress, this is a common problem of youngster. However, this is not a bad problem. The captain likes to wear a red woolen coat, a boat hat, hanging the captain's sabre around his waist, and holding a pipe -- for life at sea, or more. To some extent, Brando has seen the captain of the drunk command fleet. Compared to this, the captain is now a role model in this rank.
In fact, he smelled a trace of soldier's Aura from the captain. He strictly disciplined himself and was meticulous. After questioning, I learned that after the captain turned out to be a famous ancestor, all of his ancestors served in the kingdom's navy. Although his generation already switched to business, the kind of temperament he knew from his earliest days could not be changed.
The two stood on the side of the ship, watching the sea water gradually become more and more blue, and gradually revealed a trace of deep purple. One day after entering Flash Sea already, they gradually lost sight of the shadow of the continent frame, and then sailed one or two chains to complete it. Entered the deep sea. After night, no more seagulls on land can be seen.
These are the common sights of James. Although he is only thirty years old, he has been running already for 20 years on this route. From sailor to chief officer, he has only recently become the captain. experience. Few people on the boat matched him. And Brando does not seem surprised. He has a wide range of knowledge. He has seen deeper oceans. To tell the story of monsters at sea, he can tell more than the most experienced sailor.
Brando is standing around noble Young Lady, Amandina is almost looking pale and staring at the endless ocean. She was born in the southernmost mountainous area of Aouine. She only heard about existence of the sea in her father's notes. Once I saw the sea in the fishing port of Gries, the ojou-sama was still able to hold back, but according to the people who are at sea all year round, -- The sea you have seen on land is completely different from the sea you have seen at sea.
Once you get to the sea, you will completely hand over the fate of one's own to this sometimes gentle and sometimes grim goddess. However, even when she was the most gentle, the waves on the sea still looked like undulating peaks and valleys. When the port was moored, the three-masted sailboat looked like a flat boat in the ***, with few sailing experience. When people first board the ship, they often startle and their legs are soft. Amandina's performance already can be said to be brave now.
It looks like Romaine. At first, he seemed curious and curious about everything on the boat. Now already is dizzy and dizzy. He ran into the one's own room with -- and even Merchant Young Lady once complained loudly that Brando harmed her. A 'Thief Ship'. But Brando told this little cute that if you want to become Great Merchant, you are not used to the wind and waves at sea, it is impossible. In the end, the ojou-sama only buried in the pillow and hummed twice.
"I think I started to understand my father a little bit, Lord Thane ..." Amandina stood on the side of the ship and looked down at the white trail left by the sailing boat on the turquoise blue water, saying very laboriously. In fact, she did not feel good, just thinking about how Lord Thane is still on armor plates, how can she withdraw as an Adviser alone, and then clenched her teeth here.
"Huh?" Brando looked back at his quiet Miss Adviser. Amandina is as knowledgeable as damsel of all Aouine origins, full of Intellect's demureness, but different from all of them is her strength.
"Until I came out with Lord Thane, I did n’t know that the outside world was so vast, beautiful, and exciting. Although I have seen the landscape described in my father's notes, I have not understood until today that In this context, you can hardly imagine how this side of the world attracts you to explore her. "
"... It's like now I'm standing here and looking at the junction of the sky and the sea in the distance, I can't help thinking about what's on the other side of the sea." Amandina couldn't help but hold himself to be blown by the sea wind With scattered flying hair, this action gave her young girl a weak and green charm: "I think, my father thinks so too."
Brando listened to Amandina with a faint tone, knowing that she remembered already's deceased parents and his hometown far away from Golan-Elsen, and for a moment himself was a little foolish. Brando has one's own family in this world, but after all, it does not belong to Sophie's half. He has not been ready to go back there yet, and he did not know how to face it for a while.
Amandina's self-pity and self-pity is because he is homeless, but he has a family and cannot return.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help asking: "Do you blame him?"
Amandina shook his head: "I don't know, Lady Mother occasionally complains. But I think I should understand him, because I think I came from noble and should be more sensible than other people's children. But how to think is one thing, later I find it resentful inside. "
She sighed quietly: "No matter how beautiful the scenery in this world is, is could it be that inferior to the wife and daughter of one's own. I envy the children of the neighbors, even though their family situation is far less than me . "
Brando looked at the girl's side face and asked, "Does your father know that you are talented in creating the core of Magicite transmission?"
"I think he knows that although he rarely goes home, he often brings me back some incomplete documents. I think he still cares about the daughter of one's own, but he may be in the wrong direction.
Brando touched the gray-brown stone in the bag. After seeing the Magic quartz sand in the underground hall, he always felt that this thing might be a little related.
"I think you are right, he cares about you, but everyone expresses their feelings differently." Brando said softly.
Amandina slightly raises head, her dark eyes looked at Brando with some doubt.
At this time Cagliss came up from armor plates with a young NCO of White Lion Guards. Although this youngster has never been on a sea boat, he seems to have an innate talent to accept novelty in the shortest time. It ’s only been a long time since he was able to walk on armor plates as well as the most experienced sailor. Even Captain James was surprised to praise him as a natural sailor.
Of course, James is also surprised by Brando's's knowledge. Brando is embarrassed to say that he has had a few years of -- experience in the past. He is too much. Some -- can only lie and say that he has heard something in the Wizard literature. The things in the book are completely different from the actual experience. This definitely cannot escape the eyes of the young captain, but the Wizard has always been a box for ordinary people. You can put everything in it, plus the Brando's Wizard attendant is obviously a genuine's Highland Wizard barely dispelled his doubts.
But as for the young NCO around Cagliss, his face is not very good. Even after fighting a big battle on the river Gries, Brando has never seen such a frustrated look on these youngster faces. These brave youngster can defeat even the most terrible enemy, but in the face of nature, they will shrink back.
"The quality of your men is really good. I have seen a lot of soldier in Ampere Searl and Callas, but none of them have such excellent youngster." But at this time the captain suddenly turned around and pointed a pipe with his hand to Cagliss And the young NCO beside him, applauded.
It is true. Although youngsters is trembling, already is too good compared to ordinary people who go to sea for the first time.
"It's a long way off." Brando shook his head. This time he went to Ampere Searl this time. The person he took the most was the NCO group of the future White Lion Infantry, all forty youngster, accounting for almost two-thirds of the accompanying people. Brando has high expectations for these youngster. He hopes that they can go through some trials with him in the future, and everyone who stays in the end can become the backbone and outstanding talent of Aouine's in the future.
Of course, these youngster may not understand this at present, but no one will doubt that Lord Thane is a bad thing to bring themselves. The young Correct is full of blood and energy, even in the face of even the most powerful enemies and difficulties. Try to challenge, this is the story of the so-called newborn calf not afraid of tigers.
"But I entrust the captain's blessing. This time I brought a lot of people, plus camouflage cargo and necessary food and fresh water, and even the captain's cargo was much less loaded." Brando added immediately A sentence.
He did bring a lot of people this time, because Ampere Searl has to deal with business matters, so Romaine must go with her. Brando is not assured of her alone, and she brought Amandina. Besides, Miss Adviser can be said to be the person who is most familiar with Aouine noble around him, and his mind is easy to use. Having her existence is also very helpful for the purpose of his trip.
Then Lopes mercenary, this is a speak of the devil. Brando once joked that he would take Tina and Flo to Ampere Searl for insight. Now he has this opportunity. As a Thane and a leader, he will naturally not take the lead. Besides, Lopes mercenary is rich in experience without the possibility of existence casualties, which can be used to guide the White Lion Infantry NCO group's youngsters in action.
Next is Ciel , Ciel is his Wizard Attendant, he is Highland Knight The disguise of identity also has to go. What's left Lopal , Mordefeys , Andelique , Medissa Several main combat capabilities. This line Ampere Searl Destroying marriage in Brando Seems to be full of danger -- Although he is dark enemies are bright, but Brando Even thinking on my knees, I know that there must be other people besides him who are unwilling Gryphine versus Anlieke Successful marriage -- royalist versus Archduke It ’s impossible not to take precautions, so the combat power Brando Too little is not too much.
The last is Scarlett. At present, this girl is almost already like a shadow of Brando's. She rarely speaks, but never leaves Brando. Although the sequelae of Godsblood have almost no recurrence of already after Golden Apple and Dragon Race blood vessels are absorbed, but She still seems to be inseparable from Brando's for the time being. Brando has said before that she will be left when he is cured of her injuries, but she can't talk about how Scarlett looks like now.
At the same time, there was an unexpected guest on this trip. Grey Sword Saint Mephisto did not notify anyone to take the initiative to board the ship after hearing about Brando's plans. According to his one's own statement, in order to ensure that the one's own contractor and half of student will not die in Ampere Searl, but even if Grey Sword Saint said that he was going for tourism, Brando is estimated that no one would dare to object.
After all, where is the strength of others?
The old Swordsman Curran is not willing to take the initiative to participate in his affairs because of Count of Radnor. Otherwise, gold can add another strong player. It is these people that already is full of this three-masted sailboat. This is also the result of Brando already collecting several more prominent cards of Fireclaw Spearman, Wind Spider Spirits, Ifrit, and Holy Angel. It should be known that general merchant ships often have only necessary sailors, and it is impossible to be full of sailors like warships. In fact, although 'Far Away' at the moment is still a merchant ship, in fact already is a warship. In addition to the absence of artillery, -- outer.
With regard to Brando's, the young captain smiled and replied: "You are serious, sir, it's just business." He didn't say anything, that is, there is nothing special about Trentheim now, although the Lord Thane Had promised to open a new business for them, but at least as far as James now is concerned, this guarantee is not very believed.
Their merchant fleet comes here. There is nothing to buy or sell here. Merchants can no matter whether the other party is thieves or rebels. As long as the other party does business in a disciplined manner, and the settlement of money and goods is not procrastinating, that is the best customer. Moreover, James has a good impression of Brando's. Others say that these people are bandits and insurgents, but he can see that Brando is a polite noble. Although the way of dealing with people is a bit weird, it is unexpectedly pleasant.
James is also full of praise for his subordinates Brando's. He has seen many noble men and private troops, but he has to say that the temperament and mental appearance of these soldiers he saw in Trentheim are actually not lower than that. To the regular army of the kingdom.
Even more, the young captain thought about it, and probably only he had seen the Knights belonging to the royal family before.
He was just a captain, an ordinary businessman, but at the moment when he returned to Ampere Searl, the young captain already began to feel a little curious about Brando and his men. In his opinion, this youngster may not be as simple as his superficial identity, he couldn't help thinking, maybe everyone may have further interaction in the future.
Thinking of it, the captain dropped his pipe and knocked on the side of the ship.
At this time, Cagliss and his NCO came to Brando.
