Duke of Grief

"what is that?"

Old Cook narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

At the end of his sight, the blue sky merged with the ocean, and there seemed to be something converging in the distance where the sea and the sky met.

The wind was blowing again, but fortunately they had already collected the sails, otherwise they would be blown by the strong wind on the way back, which is not good!

The hull swayed with the waves of the sea, but for people like Old Cook who wanted to live in the sea, he had adapted to such bumps as early as thirty years ago, and now he is almost fifty years old in this sea. After living for so many years, many years of experience tell him that it may be that heavy rain is coming.

"Skinny monkey, go tell the captain that there may be heavy rain. By the way, let the boy Martin come up and let him see how far the rain cloud is!"

With a hoarse voice, he shouted for a while, and the thick sputum stuck in the old Cook's throat made him cough a few times. This discomfort made the groove in Old Cook's face deeper and wrinkled.

"Old sailor can't do it anymore..."

The nearly fifty-year-old sailor's voice was dumb and he smiled ridiculously. After this trip, he probably couldn't continue anymore. The physical problems accumulated over the years are urging him to leave the ocean and return to the sea. On land, live on earth.

The reply of "know" came from far away. The old sailor stood on the deck, looking at the dark clouds in the distance.

Those black clouds can always bring countless misfortunes to these'men at sea', but fortunately this time his ship is a big ship, if the heavy rain does not set off too much wind and waves, then basically there will be no What is dangerous, the problem is the cargo in the cargo compartment, so he will let the thin monkey notify the captain.

Old Cook peeled an orange with his rough fingers and stuffed one of them into the mouth. As the oldest crew on the ship, he had the qualification-the ability to eat an entire orange by himself.

He heard that his ambitious captain was a desolate aristocrat, because he turned over the property passed down from his ancestors at home, and bought the second-hand ship with the money for some money, and became a'captain'. .

But for this kind of "newbie" who has lived at sea for less than five years, even if he has money, no one wants to believe him, so he has never been able to recruit a first officer with rich sailing experience.

Even, the people on the ship are almost all newcomers. There are no newcomers who have been severely trained by the sea. The reason why the old cook will follow this ‘captain’ is because no other ship is willing to accept him as an elderly person.

He is just a sailor, not an experienced sailor or first officer, but only an old sailor with no injuries except for experienced. He is too old and no one will let him get on his own boat .

However, the captain didn’t mind, because he couldn’t recruit his first officer, he could only retreat, and recruited old cook at a high price, let him help train his first officer-although old cook had rich experience, But it's better than the first officer I cultivated!

So Old Cook became the ship, in addition to the captain and first officer, the third person who could call all the crew.

Chewing a piece of orange in his mouth, sweet and sour juice splashing in his mouth, old cook looked at the direction where the wind and clouds gathered, even if the sails had been put away, the more powerful winds blew the boat in the wrong direction.

Old Cook discovered this long ago, but he didn't say it.

The captain asked him to board the ship so that he could train the crew. If there is no way to find out, then what other boat do they run!

Boom Boom...

Old Cook didn’t look up. He heard the sound of someone running on the deck. He didn’t even have to think about it. This was the sound of Martin’s kid running. When there was no one other than the kid on board, it would be like that. eager.

Martin was wearing a linen cloth and looked excited. He kept the binoculars in a leather bag and stood under a mast. He wiped the sweat off his hands with his clothes. After rubbing his hands, he went up the mast. Crawl.

In this boat, neither the captain nor the first officer had the courage to climb up the mast, so the position of the watchman fell on his shoulders without hesitation!

After all, he is the most courageous and hard-working sailor on this ship. Since childhood, he has longed for this blue sea. Even if he needs to sail on the ocean all day, this endless blue sea can't be bored.

The telescope is the captain's treasure, he bought it for a large price, so Martin is naturally very valuable for this thing.

Licking his chapped lips and sniffing the sea breeze with a smell, Martin took out his telescope from his leather bag and looked into the distance-there was no need to indicate the direction at all, he had seen the dark clouds in the distance when he stood on the deck .

With his legs and left hand hooked to the mast, Martin closed his eyes in the air and closed his eyes, pointing at the telescope: "I see what it is--"

The things he saw through the telescope lenses made Martin's smile instantly solidify, and he blinked blankly.

"what is that……"

He looked into the distance with his own naked eyes, blinked, and after taking a sip of water, he took a deep breath and glanced through the telescope again.

After ordering his first officer to handle the cargo, the captain of the ship stepped onto the deck, nodded to the old cook sitting on the deck wooden box, and then looked at the mast.

"Martin, what did you see?" the captain yelled at his watchman.

"Sea waves..."

Martin's throat rolled, and he murmured subconsciously, but only he heard it.

Just when the captain couldn't wait to ask the second time, Martin suddenly yelled, "Surf!"

His scream even made the old cook turn his head to look at the mast, and then the old sailor saw the novice with a strong expressive desire pointed at the distance with a telescope and shouted: "The waves!!"

Then, when old Cook saw Martin and slid down the mast, he tried it and knew that feeling-his hands and feet would become extremely hot, especially painful.

problem occurs!

The scene in front of him made an equal sign with'Danger' in the mind of Old Cook. He stood up and walked to the captain.

"Captain, something happened!"

But before he could stop it, Martin had already started yelling.

Martin's panicked voice attracted everyone's attention, and all the sailors looked at it.

"Calm, panic!"

Old Cook scowled, grabbed the telescope from the flabbergasted Martin, and then he said to the stunned captain around him, "Captain, let me go up and see, this kid is still too young."

"Uh, good..."

After receiving the captain's reply, the old cook, uneasy, climbed up the tallest mast of the three-masted ship along the side cables and looked into the distance with a telescope.

After seeing the distant scene, the old cook took a breath.

Having lived on the sea for more than thirty years, he has never seen such a high wave-almost connected to the sky!

Now he finally knew why Martin's kid was so scared... but this is not unsolvable.

"captain……"

After returning to the deck, the old Cook pretended to smile indifferently: "It's okay, this kid is too much fuss."

"But..." Martin hurriedly wanted to explain.

Old Cook stared back at him, screaming: "I've been on the sea for more than thirty years. What big winds and waves haven't seen? Shut up and learn!"

After Martin was scolded, www.NovelMTL.com~ opened his mouth, but after hearing old Cook's scolding, he also became quiet and no longer panicked.

The sailors around also laughed, and their laughter made Martin blush.

"Captain, I remember there was a magic array on the ship that could speed up the ship, right?"

After comforting the sailors, the old cook pulled the captain aside and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, old Cook, what's wrong?" The captain had an ominous hunch when he saw old Cook's gloomy look.

This is a magic ship, but the captain would rather not use that magic circle for a lifetime, because once it is used, the entire ship will slowly collapse-this is his ship!

"Let's go back..." Old Cook took a deep breath. "We accelerated back home with the magic circle. We just came out soon, and we still have time to return home! After returning to the Imperial Coast, go and tell the police officer—"

"'Poseidon is angry'!"
