"Ready … ready … change sails with the wind!"
"Tighten the rope!"
"Let's go downwind!"
"Prepare to lower the sails!"
"Paddle room, paddle on the left!"
"Raise the foresail!"
On the slightly undulating sea, the Flower slowly sailed with the current, stopping from time to time, making a circle, or turning a corner. Captain Kosto's voice, which came with a loudspeaker effect, constantly sounded throughout the ship, giving various orders. The twelve sailors were in a flurry to control the ship.
According to the size and tonnage of the Flower, twelve sailors were simply not enough to operate the ship. The full complement was thirty sailors.
The work of thirty people was done by twelve teenagers, and they were all newcomers. The pressure could be imagined. The Flower's sailing was also intermittent, always unable to sail steadily to the target.
But no matter what.
Under Kosto's command and guidance, the Flower still stuck to the seaside, sailing to the northern pier area. Half a day later, the teaching and learning voyage smoothly arrived at the destination.
It was a rocky beach.
The Flower anchored in the bay for a short time as lunch time, and also to train the sailors in swimming lessons.
"The coastal area is not like what people say, where sea monsters eat people. This is not the living area of sea monsters! Sea monsters live in the deep sea, and sailing offshore will basically not encounter sea monsters … Of course, if you are unlucky and bask in the sun on the shore, a sea monster will crawl over and eat you. "
Kosto tried to dispel the apprentice sailors' fear of deep water, but his words were obviously not up to standard. The apprentice sailors were even more afraid to go into the water.
Swimming on the beach could make them nervous for a long time, let alone here in the deep water bay.
"Captain, we already know how to swim." An apprentice sailor argued in a low voice.
"Can deep water and shallow water be the same? Absolutely not. You have to overcome your fear of the blue water, it will save your life at a critical moment!"
"How can that be? We are on the ship, we will never run into the water for no reason."
"Idiot! When sailing in the sea, the waves often roll up the sailors and they fall into the sea. If you don't know how to swim, you won't even have time to be rescued! "
"That, Captain, I just came to be an apprentice sailor. I have no intention of going to sea."
"If I don't have this plan, then why are you learning sailing? Do you think that I, Kosto, am easy to fool?" Kosto flew into a rage. He pointed at the apprentice sailor's nose and roared, "I am the captain of the Flower appointed by Sir Lord. In the future, I will go out to sea to trade for Sir Lord. You will be the first batch of sailors! You can fool me, but do you dare to fool Sir Lord? "
The apprentice sailors were all submissive.
He suddenly felt as though he had boarded a pirate ship.
Kosto gave up on persuading him with kind words and directly threatened: "I have been authorized by Sir Lord to take full responsibility for the navigation matters. The Flower Town's Sir Advisor also has to cooperate with me. Remember, whoever dares to escape or go against my orders, I will hand you over to Lord Carl's patrol team! "
Hearing the name of the patrol team, the youths became even more timid.
Sir Lord was indeed noble and inviolable, but it was said that Sir Lord was the embodiment of benevolence. They were not afraid, only reverent. But the patrol team was famous. Liszt had always wanted to build the patrol team into a police station where the police and the people were like one family. Unfortunately, there was no hope.
The existence of flogging and other corporal punishments was bound to make people fearful.
Carl meticulously implemented the rules in return for the lord's trust in him. Any commoner who made a mistake would be directly whipped.
Not a single whip would be spared.
This caused everyone to pale at the mention of the patrol team.
Kosto was very satisfied when he saw the youths' expressions. After brandishing the stick, he turned to brandishing the carrot: "Don't be afraid of the sea. The sea is the same as the land. If we can farm on land, then we can sail on the sea. Going out to sea is the best decision for you. There is endless wealth overseas, as well as women with big breasts and big buttocks! "
"Is … is there really a woman with a big buttocks?" A youth overcame his fear and swallowed.
"Of course. I once went to an island where the war had just ended. The women stood in a row and everyone chose. I chose the woman with the biggest buttocks … "Said Kosto in a nostalgic tone.
"And then, Captain?"
"And then?"
"Yes, Captain. And then you and the big buttocks?"
"And then." Kosto licked his lips. "And then I gave her three copper coins. In fact, she only needed two copper coins to spend a comfortable night, but I gave her an extra copper coin. That towering mountain gave me an unparalleled experience. I swear, it can suffocate your head inside! "
Kosto drew a circle with his hand.
A very large circle.
It was so huge that the youths were dumbfounded.
Gulp.
Gulp.
The youths swallowed.
"Alright, the break is over. It's time for class, lads! If you want a woman with a big body, then you have to learn according to my requirements. When you become qualified sailors, you can still spend two copper coins to spend a wonderful night! Now, dive, swim! "
The youths immediately overcame their fear.
They howled and jumped into the sea.
Kosto took out a wooden wine pot from his bosom, unplugged it, and took a sip. He understood what these youths wanted. After all, he was also young.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, he returned to the captain's cabin and carefully took out a one-meter-long cylinder from a box. This was the telescope that the sir lord had sent a servant to deliver yesterday. The sir lord had assigned his telescope to the Flowers. It was this telescope that allowed him to understand the sir lord's views on sailing!
"He longs for the sea more than any other aristocrat!" Kosto felt that his future was bright. An aristocrat who yearned for the sea would undoubtedly support his sailing.
It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to go to the administrative office and pester Advisor Gort to fight for benefits.
Holding the telescope, he went to the deck.
For him, the swaying deck was more stable than land. He picked up the telescope and began to look into the distance. The distant scenery seemed to suddenly appear in front of him.
It was a wonderful transformation. It felt incredible.
"Only a noble aristocrat like the Sir Lord can make such an incredible object!"
He looked at the sea level in the distance, then looked at the thick smoke of the distant Thorns Ridge, then looked at the several seabirds walking on the rocky beach, and then looked at the steep rocky mountain on the shore.
Suddenly.
He frowned slightly and saw that there seemed to be a cave on the rocky mountain that had been washed by the sea: "A cave? The mountain here isn't high, so there should be a cave. What kind of cave could it be? There seems to be a seabird flying out of the cave just now. Could there be a sea poison? "
The sea poison was a gull-type seabird that nested on the cliffs by the sea. Its eggs were very popular among the aristocrats.
Some aristocrats would even arrange for serfs to risk their lives to collect sea poison eggs.
