Chapter 19 Ferry (1)
Curris and Danica did not stop in Most, but just took a brief rest. The two bought tickets for the ferry to Melens. They needed to take the ferry and took about ten days to enter the Southern Ocean through the Gris River, and then along the coastline to Melens.
"This is a boring trip." Cores reminded Danica while on board the boat, three hunched and thin workers carrying their luggage behind them, a group of people who were making a living at the dock, who relied on selling their labor to get a meager reward.
"Is that? I think it's very interesting!" The temperature in the southern coastal areas was not low, but Danica was still wearing a thick cloak. However, at this moment, her face was slightly flushed, and there was a new kind of joy. "It was the first time I saw the sea, and the scenery must be magnificent."
Cores smiled and said, "You are right. The sea scenery is indeed beautiful, but no matter what scenery you see, you will always feel boring, especially the sea and sky that are monotonous in nature."
Danica thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, but I think my novelty can be maintained until Melens at least."
Coris was not that optimistic, she said, "This is not necessarily the case. I guess you will be completely bored after two or three days. Believe me, I grew up in the coastal area."
After being splashed with cold water by Curis, Danica's enthusiasm was also reduced, and she said, "Well, maybe you are right. The view of the sea may not attract my attention for a long time, but there is one thing that will definitely interest me."
"Oh, what?" asked Corris.
"It's what we have to do!" Danica paused and added, "It's what we have to do in Melens."
Coris narrowed his eyes slightly, and his green eyes exuded a hint of viciousness and murderous intent. She said, "Your mentality adjustment is pretty good. Don't forget, you were forced to bring here."
Danica waved her hand and said, "This doesn't matter. I don't have any place to go anyway. It's great to be able to walk around the world."
Cores laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid you're on the pirate ship?"
"If you get on the pirate ship, be a happy pirate!" Danica said openly.
Although this sentence is a bit joking, it is indeed a good choice. Since I have been on the pirate ship, I have to choose to merge and become a member of the pirate ship. And maybe I have the chance to kill the captain and be a pirate king by myself! Danica smiled on her face, but a poisonous snake in her heart looked at Coris coldly.
"Okay, I'll tell you what we are going to do when we arrive in Melens." Curries said with a smile. She didn't realize that she was attracting a vicious snake, and she thought she had domesticated a hunting dog!
After getting on the boat, Currys randomly found a crew member and asked him to arrange the coolies to put their luggage into the cabin of the double room she booked. Although Currys theoretically had no right to instruct the crew, her gorgeous clothes and the tickets for the upper class clearly showed her identity - a nobleman, and a nobleman often had many privileges.
At this time, there were many people on board, and the cabin corridor was crowded with people and messy. Curris really didn't want to squeeze with the sweaty crew and dirty coolies, so he took Danica on the deck with the evening sea breeze.
"It's better to be a prosperous city. It's too unsuitable for me to explore ruins deep in the crypt." Although every time I see those skinny hardworkers, Coris always frowns and looks very disgusted, she obviously prefers life in such a big city.
"Yes, big cities always give people endless enjoyment," Danica echoed, but then said, "but it also contains great sins and dangers."
Cores followed Danica's gaze and found that there were two groups of people fighting. It seemed that they were hard work on the dock and dressed. Both sides fought very hard, with bricks, iron sticks and big sticks directly hitting their heads, as if they didn't care whether they would kill someone inadvertently.
Cores explained: "That's the gangs at the docks fighting for territory. Don't look at the people who work in the docks, but for the lower class, this is already a very good place. As long as you are willing to put in your strength, there is no problem with the income of a few silver coins a day. If you meet a generous nobleman and reward a few silver coins or even gold coins at will, it is even more a great thing. So in order to work at the docks, they must fight and grab them."
Danica looked at the hard worker who was fighting for her living space regardless of life and death, and said, "But even a very good job for them is just a little bit of waste obtained after enduring huge exploitation and harsh treatment."
Coris didn't understand for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood. Danica's meaning should be that they had given great labor and even seriously overdrawn their bodies, but they did not get the reward they deserved. A few copper plates and a few silver coins were nothing to those big merchants, but for them, they were indeed the only support they could barely live in this world.
"Is it unfair?" Curries sneered and said, "What else? Besides, there is no fair thing in this world."
Danica shook her head and said, "I don't care whether it's fair or not. I'm just curious if these hard workers know why this is happening, why they have made such great efforts but can only survive. What will happen after those big businessmen do nothing but can enjoy wealth and peace?"
Curris said contemptuously: "They won't know. I understand what you mean. You think that they can fight so hard and fight so desperately to survive is a very terrible potential. What if they aimed this kind of force at their boss, right? I can tell you now that this kind of thing will not happen. They are like wild dogs, fighting bloody for a piece of bone without meat, but even facing a weak child, they can only cringe in the corner with their tails squatted in the corner."
Danica asked, “Why?”
Cores smiled and said, "Because the group of wild dogs are already scared by such people walking upright with whips. Do you know that there is such a rule in many docks. If a hard worker dares to contradict the nobles, he will be beaten to death in public at the dock. Don't resist the nobles, it has been carved into their bones."
Danica smiled mysteriously and said, "But I believe that with some guidance and training, these wild dogs will become good hunting dogs."
