The sailboats of Red Crab Island had sails that covered the sky.
It was embroidered with a huge "Sapphire" symbol, which was the symbol of the court, signifying the dignity and authority of the Sapphire Family.
"This ship is really big. It's much bigger than the Tulip family's ship." It was the first time that Paris had seen such a huge ship. It was a new experience for her.
Liszt ignored his noble image and sat on the deck stairs at the bow of the ship, his back against the soft fur on Dosen's belly.
The strong sea breeze blew, causing his originally meticulously combed light blonde short hair to flutter unceasingly. "This is the palace's fast sailboat, it can reach a speed of 10 knots when the wind is right. My grandfather used to be in charge of the palace navy. He had a high position and was deeply trusted by the Grand Duke. After he left office, he gave me a few fast sailboats. "
The Taro family had always been known for their shrewdness. They were absolute followers of the Grand Duke. In the past, when Marquis Merlin's father was still a Count, he used all of his family's wealth to support the previous generation's Grand Duke in waging war.
In the end, he obtained the title of Marquis and the huge Red Crab Island.
After the new Grand Duke ascended to the throne, he relied on Marquis Merlin to take charge of the palace navy. It should be known that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire couldn't do without the navy when fighting across the sea. It could be seen how much the Grand Duke relied on Marquis Merlin.
Unfortunately, Marquis Merlin had fallen ill and was no longer serving in the court.
As for Liszt's uncle, Messiro Longtaro, although he was also a Sky Knight, he did not inherit Marquis Merlin's martial prowess. It was only at the age of thirty-five that he managed to break through to high-level Dou Qi. At this age, Leewilliam had already established the Coral Island lineage by virtue of his Sky Knight fighting strength.
Although Messiro's talent was terrible, it was said that Cousin Meopal's talent was pretty good. He was 25 years old this year and had already touched the critical point of a Sky Knight.
He could break through at any time.
It had to be said.
At the level of accumulation of wealth, even a pig could be piled up into a Sky Knight. He might not be as talented as Leewilliam, who played the Black Medicine Style, but it would not be a problem for him to ensure his family's survival. If they worked hard to nurture the next generation, they would still be able to ensure the prosperity of the clan.
"Your name is Paris?" Lvera had also arrived on the deck. After greeting Liszt with a smile, she began to chat with Paris.
"Yes, Lvera Baron."
"You are not a native of Coral Island? Your accent is very different from the accent here. "
"I'm from the Eagle Kingdom."
"Serf?"
"No, I'm a mercenary."
"Oh, there are many mercenaries on the continent. How did you come to Coral Island and accept my brother's employment?"
"I came by boat. My sister was sold to the Flower Town. I followed her here and then accepted Sir Baron's employment."
"How are your skills?" Lvera suddenly had the urge to give it a try.
Liszt was watching how Lvera was trying to win over Paris. He didn't say anything. He just smiled faintly and scratched an itch for Dosen.
Instead, he wanted to see if Lvera could win over Paris and test Paris's loyalty.
Paris glanced at Liszt, who was concentrating on grooming Dosen. She turned her head and said to Lvera, "I am an elite Earth Knight. Baron Lvera, do you want to compete with me?"
"I haven't reached the elite level yet, so I will ask you for advice on fighting skills!"
"As you wish!"
Immediately, the two took out their respective swords and began to fight. After a series of clashing sounds, Lvera's sword was knocked away.
It could be seen that Paris held back.
She didn't even use the trick of Light and Shadow. She defeated Lvera, who had qi, by relying on her physical fitness.
After the match, Lvera praised Paris. After chatting with Liszt for a while, she left the bow and returned to the cabin. She didn't directly propose to recruit Paris. Now, Lvera had really restrained her previous chuunibyou temper and no longer continued to snatch good things in front of Liszt.
"Your sister is far weaker than you." Paris suddenly said.
"She has been promoted to an Earth Knight before she was a minor. Among the female Knight, she is a very talented genius." Liszt smiled and said very calmly, "But my talent is even more outstanding."
Paris turned her head and didn't respond to Liszt.
… …
After the mercenary left, except for a few working sailors, only Liszt and Dosen were left on the deck.
Dosen was too big and didn't like to stay in the cabin. Liszt did not return to the cabin and continued to accompany Dosen on the deck.
Sailing on the sea was a very boring thing. Liszt dozed off and thought about some trivial things.
Thinking of this trip to Longtaro Castle, he did not know if he would be able to see Athena Salmon again. This beautiful girl had left a deep impression on him. But he didn't have the nerve to ask the deputy butler Ranieri about Athena's recent situation. At Athena's age, it was difficult for her to be single.
After all, she wasn't a picky person like Lvera.
"It can't be said that Athena's eyes are not picky. Being able to choose me from the crowd at the ball shows that her conditions for choosing a partner are very high."
He was imagining the scene of Athena seeing him and expressing her love again.
Suddenly, he heard the lookout at the top of the mast exclaim: "It's the devil cloud!"
Then the lookout blew the horn.
The low, penetrating sound of the horn immediately woke up the people on the ship from their lethargy and hurriedly walked out of the cabin. Liszt certainly understood the meaning of this horn, which meant that the ship was in danger. He quickly stood up, holding Dosen's hand, and nervously observed the surroundings.
With this observation, he saw that on the route ahead of the ship, the sky had become gloomy.
Dark clouds were roiling, mixed with bolts of lightning, crushing the skyline as they came crashing over.
"Devil cloud!"
"It's the devil cloud!"
The sailors exclaimed one after another, and were eventually stopped by the captain's voice: "Don't panic! Lower the sail! Drop the anchor! The bow anchor immediately sinks and the stern anchor ready. "
The voice was not loud, but the well-trained sailors immediately calmed the restlessness and began to quickly lower the sail. A group of strong sailors turned the capstan and dropped the bow anchor. The huge wooden chain, driven by the anchor, made a harsh friction sound and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
There was a lack of iron, so the anchors were made of wood.
Although the anchors were made of wood, they were ironwood, which sank into the water.
A wooden anchor may weigh up to half a ton. When it sank into the water, the huge drag force immediately stopped the sailing ship and fixed it on the sea.
Liszt was a little flustered.
Because he did not bring the Calm Pearl, he was already uncomfortable. He did not expect to really encounter danger at sea. In the vast sea, it was easy to swallow a few people.
Seeing that Levis was rushing to the captain's room, he also rushed over, just in time to hear Levis's shout: "What is the devil cloud?"
The captain took out the wine jug and gulped down a mouthful of wine.
He calmed down and said: "Noble lords, don't panic, it's just a storm at sea. In my life, I have encountered more storms than I have eaten white bread. The Cancer was once a palace sailing ship, with a huge tonnage, and the ability to resist storms can completely resist the devil cloud! "
Hearing him say it so easily, everyone calmed down a little.
