Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 33: Traces and shipwreck mourners
In fact, I started to eat raw fish in the Han dynasty in the previous life of Ai Wen, called "Yu Xian". It's just that there are more parasites in freshwater fish, and they are gradually no longer popular, and they have been carried forward by coastal island countries.
Captain Geer took the lead to give Aiwen a face, picking up a slice of fish that can be seen transparently to the sun, first praised Aiwen's knife skills, and then put it in the mouth, and he was caught fresh in an instant. The sweet taste is conquering.
I am used to fish soup and grilled fish. This novel way of eating has a special flavor.
"Well, yes, it's sweet and tender, you guys try it too."
went up and down, and the crew members tried to eat them one after another, becoming fans of the new way of eating sea fish invented by Ivan.
Then the chef brought the carefully prepared barbecue to the table. Several officers who stayed behind on the "Warrior" on the opposite side were also invited to join the lunch on the Silver Wing, where the guests and hosts enjoyed food and wine.
The leisurely time did not last long. As the crew members who fetched water returned one after another, they brought back an exciting news. They accidentally discovered traces of other people's activities in the water source of the small island!
"Let’s follow!"
Although it is not certain whether it is the one-eyed Becky, no one wants to give up on this rare clue. After a short repair, the two warships quickly raised their sails and chased them in the direction where the other party might leave.
The howling sea breeze filled the sails.
As an observer, Ivan stood on the observation deck of the mainmast, and a strange thought suddenly popped out of his mind.
The other traversers were chased and killed by forces of all sizes all day long, busy running for their lives, and I have been mixed to the point of chasing and killing others, shouldn’t I be ashamed of the masses of traversers?
then waved back the joking thoughts in his head.
He touched his chin. The hunter's experience of more than three years reminded him that the role of hunter and prey is not static. As a hunter, he must always be alert to anti-killing of prey.
especially when this prey is also a cunning predator!
And the one-eyed Becky's style of acting made him vaguely feel this way. This guy stayed in hiding, staying in the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet, and definitely had other purposes.
This time tracking continued for a whole day, and finally found traces of other ships near a large stretch of rocky islands that stretched for dozens of miles.
It was a half-full oak barrel, which looked like it accidentally fell into the sea, and then floated into the line of sight of the warship with the current.
The crew picked it up from the sea.
"Boom!"
opened the wine barrel without the slightest special appearance, and a smell of wine wafted out. Even Ivan, who barely drank, knew that this was the most common rum at sea.
But First Mate Perry solemnly poured a glass, smelled the smell and tasted a bit, and said with certainty: "This barrel of wine is not from the Black Sea shore, at least not from the countries of the Tulip Alliance. Mulberry wine."
greeted most of the crew's suspicious gazes.
The first officer asked the crew to pour a glass of rum stocked on the ship, put the two glasses together, and explained: "The Tulip Alliance countries have frequent exchanges and there are many wineries. But in fact, their wineries are all located in In the colonies of the southern continent, there are enough sugarcane as raw materials, and the sugar industry and wine industry are very developed."
"No matter how the process changes, whether it is blended or not, there is only that kind of sugarcane as the raw material. So the sugarcane wine on the Tulip Alliance has a common aroma, which is different from other producing areas."
After hearing this, Aiwen also picked up two glasses of wine and smelled it, trying to find the difference between the two, but found nothing. Can only silently look at the chief mate with the attitude of Xiaomeng's new respect to the big brother, and sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy.
"That is to say, a foreign guy who didn’t take the normal route and somehow ran to a place where the bird doesn’t shit. I think 80% of them are pirates, and most likely our target is the one-eyed Betsy. !" The first officer said his inference.
Although there are many explanations for the existence of this foreign wine, most people on board agreed with the first officer's statement, and Ivan did not intervene in this kind of thing that he was not good at.
"Notify the Warrior."
At Geer's sign, the news was quickly announced to the Warrior through semaphores. Then the Warrior wrote back, suggesting that the two warships should be separated here, and each is responsible for one side of the Rocky Islands. Once they find the other side's trail, they will send a signal to the other side.
And without waiting for the Silver Wing to respond, the Warrior was already impatiently heading towards the outer side of the Rocky Island, where the ocean currents flowed, and theoretically the possibility of finding the other party was higher.
"Your Excellency Captain, is this really good? After all, it was the clue that the Silver Wing discovered first." The navigator on the Warrior asked hesitantly. He was also the officer who was invited to the Silver Wing to share lunch on the left-behind warship. One, I now feel that my captain's behavior is really not very kind.
"What's wrong, didn't we share what we found in the water source yesterday with them? Now that we have caught the one-eyed Betsy's tail, we must rely on our own ability, and whoever catches it will be the one."
The rugged-looking captain with a big blue beard is a lieutenant colonel even though his rank is lower than that of a lieutenant colonel. But there is no affiliation with Geer. It was only because of the command of the command that they cooperated to go to sea, so naturally they were not afraid to compete with him.
Looking at the Warrior who rushed out first, the officers and soldiers on the Silver Wing were not very good-looking, and the appearance of eating alone was too ugly. Just with a little clue, you want to leave others alone?
And does this guy see One-eyed Becky as meat on the chopping board, just wait for him to go to the pot? Is it so reckless?
"Give me all the logbooks. It is not our fault if something goes wrong." Geer didn't say much, just instructed the lieutenants on the ship to keep a record of what happened, and put away the responsibilities first.
"Let him go, one-eyed Betsy is not easy to deal with, let's go inside."
......
At the same time, on a sea boat with black sails.
"Your Excellency Captain~IndoMTL.com~Good news! Gagon said that a fish was hooked!"
The tattooed chief mate rushed up to the bow, bent over ninety degrees, and reported the news to the captain wearing a three-cornered pirate hat with only one eye.
The one-eyed captain turned around when he heard the words, and the only remaining eye seemed to have a stinger in it, so that the first officer moved his eyes and dared not look at each other unknowingly.
The strength and madness of his own captain "One-eyed Betsy" is a hundred times more terrifying than external rumors. Even people who have followed him for so many years dare not be disobedient.
"Go tell Gagong, if his visceral divination is not accurate this time, he will use his own viscera next time! Understand!" It seemed that the suppressed and disgusting sound of the rotting mud in the seabed was transmitted to the first officer. His ears made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show any strange color on his face.
"Yes, yes, I'll go tell him now." The first officer nodded as if smashing garlic, did not dare to say a word, let alone hesitate, and hurried off the ship's bow.
just secretly said in my heart.
"Although Ga Gong is only an indigenous wizard who knows a little bit of fur witchcraft, he is also the second-ranked horror figure on this ship.
is to cut open the stomachs of animals and use their internal organs for divination. This method makes people shudder to think about it. I'd better not provoke him. "
Looking at the back of the first mate leaving, Becky One-eyed was very satisfied with his deterrent power.
turned and rubbed a black stone sculpture placed on the back of the prow statue, and a trace of eagerness flashed in his one eye.
As long as you can sink another warship and complete the ritual, this powerful ocean treasure "Sunken Shipwreck Song" can be unlocked.
And myself-the great one-eyed Captain Becky can also complete the transformation of extraordinary roads and become a rare and powerful "wreck mourner"!
