Norman listened to Shanon's bold words and returned to his post with disdain to continue cleaning: "Forget it, join Birmingham? They give you girl names and bully us at will. We do all the chores on the ship, Cavendi.
You and that big pig head are hiding in the captain's cabin smoking fireflies, filled with smoke all day long!" After saying this, Norman still leaned on the mop and imitated Cavendi's way of talking with a pipe in his mouth: "Shannon! Where's my handkerchief?
?Bring me a bottle of wine. Oh, that's it."
Shanon laughed out loud at Norman's imitation, but she didn't notice that behind the two of them, the plump Zozo was holding a lit firefly root in his mouth and glaring at the two of them. It picked up a boy with one hand and lifted them up.
In front of his eyes: "Our Birmingham family never laughs at our family members behind their backs. You two have been beaten too much, right?"
Norman and Shanon looked at each other, not daring to make a sound. Zuo Zuo was one of the roughest people on the ship. She often grabbed Norman and Shanon and kicked and punched them as if to find trouble. But today Zuo Zuo seemed to have other things, greasy
He was wearing a black dress with an open mouth and a small round hat tilted on his head. "You two, follow me. Norman went to Richie to find a sailor hat to cover the bruises on his face.
, I’ll give you three minutes.”
Then Zuo Zuo put the two of them on the ground, arranged his clothes, and then walked towards the bow of the ship first. Norman and Shanon's eyes changed from confusion to surprise. Are they going to meet other people? In the big boat
After meeting new people at sea, are they about to go ashore? The two of them have never seen other land in the ever-changing sea for more than a month. Shanon, who was still a little seasick at first, has become accustomed to the feeling of seasickness through countless bumps.
, a six-year-old child and an eight-year-old child hugged each other's shoulders and cheered on the deck, but they did not notice that there was no island visible in the surrounding field of vision.
In addition to basic facilities, these days Norman even knows that the ship used to transport goods in Birmingham also has a name, that is the Black Crow. When the Black Crow first set sail, it was named Constantine.
A bottle-throwing ceremony was held for the most luxurious Sicilian champagne in the city’s black market. But these are another story.
Three minutes later, Norman and Shannon jogged all the way to the bow of the ship, excitedly waiting for the land they imagined to appear. However, they saw Abby and Zozo standing behind Cavendi, quietly looking at the position of the bow.
But there was nothing there except a cannon. Norman looked curiously, expecting to see an inhabited island on the far side of the horizon. A singing whale sound sounded, and a fifteen-meter-long humpback whale came from in front of the ship.
The ship jumped out of the sea and collided with the advancing Black Crow, forcing the Black Crow to a stop.
Everyone on the deck trembled, and Norman even fell to the ground, watching in panic as the humpback whale’s head rested on the bow. Shannon was already shouting an attack, but if Zozo hadn’t clenched her hooves and gave Susan
With a punch from Shannon, Shannon had already run to the stern of the boat. Cavendi, who was wearing a formal suit and a white rose on his chest, exhaled a thick puff of smoke and scolded Shannon: "Don't be so ignorant, humpback whales are
Mobile tool of whale shark tribe and mermaid, please be polite to our guests."
Following the head of the humpback whale, two mermaids who were naked and covered in spots, with flat heads, fins on their arms, and bifurcated fish tails on their legs, slowly walked down. The so-called mermaids are nothing but mermaids given to other humans by humans.
The name given to the race is because they can walk and breathe briefly in water and land. In fact, the elves call the mermaids "underwater walkers", the orcs call the merfolk "the fish", and the goblins call the merfolk the "merfolk".
Two hearts', dwarves call mermaids 'fast-swimming bastards', but to humans, mermaids are mermaids. Cavendi opened his hands and stepped forward to hug them, speaking in a pronunciation that Norman could not understand.
: "Long time no see, my friends, the big businessmen of South Stella, Magagiya and Chajila."
Norman watched curiously as the whale shark mermaid of unknown gender exchanged greetings with Cavendi, and then came the exchange of gifts. Norman noticed that what Cavendi gave to Magajia and Chajila was in a good brown glass bottle.
white wine, which is the cargo on the Cavendi Black Crow. The sailor on the side handed Zozo a branch of the elephant trunk tree unique to the southern continent. Zozo bumped into Norman next to him and handed the branch to Norman.
Man whispered: "Later, go and offer branches to the two whale sharks and mermaids. They like plants on land very much."
Norman was trembling and didn't dare to step forward. This was his first contact with a mermaid. Zozo was so angry when she saw Norman's appearance that she clenched a fist with her short hand and hit Norman hard on the back: "
Stop whining, hurry up, that's the guest we want to cooperate with!" Norman rubbed his back, cautiously approached the mermaid and Cavendi, hid behind Cavendi, and carefully handed the branch to Magajela,
The whale shark's eyes are scattered on both sides of its head, which means that it is difficult for it to see things in the middle. For this reason, it has to move its head all the time to adjust its field of vision. After seeing the branches of the elephant trunk tree, it showed an expression of surprise and used
Mermaid praised Cavendi and said: "My friend, you are still careful, where did you get such a beautifully curved branch?" At the same time, he put the gift prepared for Cavendi in his hand into a shell.
The pink translucent pearl was handed to Cavendi.
"Of course I'm looking for it specifically for you, Norman. Go down first with this pearl and inform the chef to prepare good raw fish for lunch." Cavendi used the mermaid language, but surprisingly the word lunch was used.
The pronunciation of the mermaid tribe is similar to that of humans. Norman, who was driven away by Cavendi's eyes, turned back three times. In his eyes, the appearance of the spotted whale shark mermaid was really magical. He had seen orcs and elves in Nakau since he was a child.
Norman originally thought that he would not show curious expressions in front of other races because Brynn told him that it was impolite, but now, Norman's eyes are full of Magajia and Chajila.
Shannon and Norman were in the same state. They stood behind Zuozuo and glanced at the two mermaids. When Norman came over, the two children asked Zuozuo at the same time: "Zaozuo, what are these mermaids here for?"
Zozo crossed his hooves and looked at Cavendi and the mermaid with a smile: "They are our distinguished guests, and they are also the people who will trade with us in South Stella. In three days, we will enter the territory of South Stella City.
Yes, they came to see our sincerity."
Norman thought of Cavendi's instructions just now. Although he didn't understand, he still asked Zuo Zuo with a rough pronunciation. Zuo Zuo shook her fat head: "Ignore it, since Cavendi used mermaid language."
, that means it is only for those fishes, and you two will start learning mermaid and orc language from old Jeff tomorrow, it will be useful." Norman and Shanon nodded, hiding in Zuo Zuo
Behind him, people continued to watch the negotiation between Cavendi and the mermaid.
...
The conversation lasted for about thirty minutes. When Magajia and Chajila returned to the head of the humpback whale, Cavendi took up his carved wood pipe again and walked back to Zozo, not shying away from Norman and Sasha.
Nong: "Successful, the negotiation is settled. The five tons of star fireweed they purified will be handed over to us for sale. What we need to do is to solve the transportation problem. Due to special reasons, the current South Stella City prohibits bringing goods into the city.
out, so I will let you two, Norman and Shanon, go into the territory of Magajia and Chajira to bring out our goods. When we return to Constantinople, Zozo will go and see our goods.
Has the wine sales license been issued? Our business will be on the right track."
Abby originally returned to the cabin to check the white wine issue in the middle of Cavendi's negotiations. There were still 28 barrels of the original thirty barrels left. At the same time, he also checked the weapons and food on the ship.
Everything can last for a month without supplementation. At this moment, he slowly walked to the bow of the ship and joined in the conversation: "Boss, what should we do? Go directly to Nanstra City or go to Kati Island not far away first?"
Anchor?”
Cavendi took a deep breath of smoke and slowly exhaled: "Let's enter South Stella directly through the water channel. It will take a lot faster to leave. We can't stay in South Stella for too long. It's easy for the goods to be cut off.
Don’t forget that besides us, there is also the Karl family who wants this batch of goods. They don’t care whether they bought it or robbed it.”
Abby nodded, walked around Cavendi and the others and asked the current helmsman to the bow of the ship, while Zozo hugged Norman and Shanon: "Cavendi, please tell me what you need them to do."
"You two, I definitely can't transport five tons of goods by you, even if you have a seahorse..."
"Seahorse?" Norman interrupted Cavendi, but received a sharp shudder from Zozo: "I usually let you learn more from sailors. Seahorses are just like the transportation tools that you humans use horses to make. There are no other vehicles in the sea."
People of this race all rely on seahorses to move around, and some slower-moving mermaids also have seahorses."
Shannon continued to ask: "Nantstra is really in the sea? So how do we get into the sea?"
Cavendi smiled without saying a word, raised his finger and pointed at the top of his head. Zozo also showed his yellow-brown fangs covered with dirt, and smiled ferociously: "You will know in three days, you rookies."
...
Three days passed in a flash. When sailors came from the observation deck and shouted that a large whirlpool appeared on the sea ahead, everyone on the Black Crow began to get busy. Norman jumped from the hammock in the sailor's cabin and followed the busy crowd to the deck.
Running away, Cavendi stood at the bow of the ship early, squinting at the sea. When the sailor was almost there, he raised his pipe and pointed directly at the 20-meter-wide whirlpool in front of him.
"The descending clouds."
"Call the clouds!...Call the clouds...Call the clouds..." Cavendi's order gradually spread among the sailors, and then the two sailors on the main mast swung down with hemp ropes tied around their waists, holding each other in their hands.
Still holding on to the sack. When they were halfway to the mast, the two men untied the sack in mid-air. Gray, snake-shaped clouds poured out of the sack and enveloped the entire Black Crow in a moment. The helmsman took it out from nowhere.
A small lens is placed in front of the steering wheel, showing the scenery ahead.
Cavendi waited for the dark clouds to wrap up the ship, then spit out the white smoke from his mouth: "Let's go! Nanstra!"
