Chapter 13 Maps(1/2)

Alka stood on the deck, wearing a boatswain's knife at his waist.

One hand was on the handle of the knife, and the other hand was placed on the side of the boat in front of him to face the sea breeze.

Observe everything on the boat.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and everything here was full of novelty to him.

After all, both my previous life and my current self are boarding such a large sailing ship for the first time.

The shape of the entire ship does not look like what Alka has seen in some movies.

It doesn't look much like a Galen ship, but more like an earlier Karak sailing ship.

The forecastle and stern of the ship are obviously higher than the middle deck, showing a long concave shape.

Next to it, cables as thick as forearms stretched straight upwards, all the way to the fence pole.

Countless cables ran above the ship, creating chaos and order.

On the main mast in the middle of the deck, three huge sails of decreasing size were hung from bottom to top, swelling with the sea breeze.

There is also a auxiliary mast at the rear, which is almost identical except that it is slightly shorter than the main mast and the sail is slightly smaller.

The arrangement of the mast and sails is more like the sails of Galen's ship.

Somewhat strange.

Looking at the sailors standing on the circular watchtower on the main fence several stories high.

As the ship rocked slightly, Alka could already feel the feeling on the watchtower.

The sailors around looked at Alka, who seemed to be seeing everything new, and couldn't help but shake their heads in amusement.

They seemed to see their former selves again.

"How about boarding the ship for the first time? It's very interesting."

Sigurt came over, stood next to Alka and said, the sailor sword he was holding before was also fastened to his waist.

Alka looked at the white waves breaking through the bow of the boat and nodded.

"It's really novel. I've never been on such a large sailing ship before."

Upon hearing this, Sigert smiled and patted Alka, then left.

Before leaving, he also said: "It will take two or three days to reach the destination. When I rest at night, I will stay in the room I just took you to."

Alka waved his hand and continued to experience the new life on the ship.

Looking at the endless sea.

"How interesting!"

…………

"Is it still interesting?"

"there is none left."

Alka leaned against the stern of the ship and said boredly.

On the first day he boarded the ship, he was curious about the novel life on board, the endless blue sky, and the fish swimming in the sea.

On the second day, I wasn’t very interested. There was only the sea and the blue sky, nothing else.

It is already the third day, and I heard that the wind direction is not very good, so we may have to arrive at our destination a day later.

And he no longer had the sense of novelty he had when he came aboard this ship.

Except for other ships passing by several hundred meters apart from time to time.

Everything on the vast sea remains unchanged.

A day or two is fine, but if it lasts longer, life on board will indeed be too boring.

It was much more boring than Alka imagined.

These recreational activities among sailors are too boring for Alka who has experienced modern times.

He now spends most of his time practicing magic in his room.

And some techniques that can be used in combat.

TOEFL listened to the chat between the two, walked over and said with a smile: "Haha, this is the sea. A strong sea man is to resist this kind of spiritual training. The boring world is to prepare for the passion that comes at any time."

Alka didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Sigurt thought of something and said: "Isn't this sea area unsafe recently?"

TOEFL nodded and said with a serious face: "There have been pirates on this route recently, and several members of Homeland died some time ago."

Upon hearing this, Sigurt's face turned serious and nodded.

home?

After Toofu left, Alka quickly asked: "Are there pirates in this sea area?"

"There is no sea area without pirates. They are like rats in the sea. They are everywhere and cannot be cleaned up no matter how hard they are cleaned up."

"What does home member mean?"

Alka was more interested in this issue.

Hearing this question, Sigurt gave Alka a strange look.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at him, then nodded and said, "That's us, we are the people of Home Island."

Hearing this, Alka remembered that Golden Maisui Island would still be called Home Island.

But why is it called Home Island?

Some strange names.

At this time, Sigurt patted Alka on the shoulder and said: "The things you asked me to help yesterday have been completed. Let's go."

"Really, go quickly, go quickly."

Hearing this, Alka quickly urged.

With that said, the two of them entered the poop, which contained the captain's office, and stood outside and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A rough, powerful voice came.

It was Captain Halls' voice.

The two pushed the door open and entered.

This is Alka's first time entering the captain's cabin of a sailboat.

It's not as exaggerated as I thought.

It is an ordinary room, relatively spacious, with simple furniture placed around it, and a painting hanging on the left wall of the captain's room.

Very simple decoration.

There are three rows of simple bookcases next to it. There is a wooden baffle in the middle of the bookcase to prevent books from falling when bumps occur.

All furniture and supplies are basically fixed.

The most eye-catching thing is the large solid wood table in the middle of the room.

The top looks a bit messy, with various parchment scrolls placed on it, as well as some navigation tools.

Alka only recognized a compass, and he didn't know much about other tools.

There is also a huge map hanging on the wall behind.

These maps are what he came here for.

Alka asked Sigert yesterday to help take him to the captain's cabin to look at some detailed maps.

He is very interested in maps.

This kind of thing is usually only found in the captain's cabin.

Halls looked at the visitor, smiled and said to Alka: "The treasure hunter is here, come here, come here, you can read these maps. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me, but I can't delay you."

"Otherwise Marcy might twist my head off, hahaha!"

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Sigurt glanced at him from the side and said.

Upon hearing this, Halls came over and patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"You are her son, how can you still not know?"

Hearing this, Sigurt had to remain silent.

Alka completely ignored the two people's jokes and couldn't wait to go straight to the huge map on the wall at the back.

"Is this a map of the world?"

Hearing this, Hall quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this is the map of Mharat's homeland, also known as the North Homeland Sea."

"We are here now, this is Golden Maisui Island, and this is our destination."
