Chapter 235 Recruits

Rowing the oars, his body undulating slightly with the surge of the waves, Sifa's eyes left the navy guard ship that was gradually moving away, and fell on the boatswain Roger.

Roger is not very tall, he looks like a man in his forties, his skin is very dry, which probably has something to do with his years of activities at sea. This gentleman's flaxen hair was cut very short, and it seemed that he had done it himself, and there was no styling at all.

He wore a gold earring in his left ear, which looked flashy, and it was no wonder that the blue-haired Quincy thought he was more like a pirate.

Sifa also noticed that under the boatswain's loose neckline, there was a 'centipede'-like scar extending from the neck and disappearing into the neckline. It seemed that this gentleman had participated in bad battles.

but

Why do we row boats?

"Where are we going?" Quincy, with dark blue hair, was not at all the kind of person who could hold his breath. He couldn't help asking after leaving the pier for a section of the waterway.

Blocking the sun with his hands, the bosun sitting in the stern said leisurely: "Just row your boat, soldier, and let me give you your first lesson."

"Never question the orders of your superiors."

A moment later, when the boat turned a corner, on the other side of Port Vila, I saw a three-masted sailing ship about the same size as the guard ship just now moored on the sea. The sun shone on it, allowing Sifa to see the cast iron cannons erected on the three-story gun deck. And, on a flag fluttering in the wind, there is a pattern of a trident surrounded by waves separated from the left and right.

"That's our ship, the Breaker."

Roger introduced it in detail: "The length of the Breaking Wave is 30.9 meters, the width is 6.8 meters, and the displacement is 776 tons. It has three main masts, the height of which is 48.9 meters, and a total of 36 square sails."

"As for weapons, we have fifty cannons, twenty four-pounders, and ten eight-pounders."

Xifa frowned and asked, "Is this a wind-powered boat?"

Roger asked back: "Did you see the steam exhaust pipe?"

Quincy said with a look of surprise: "Which department do we belong to? Why do we still use such backward ships?"

"behind?"

Roger jumped up all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "Soldier, don't you see what a beautiful girl this is! Look at its lines and how it undulates in the sea."

"Its elegance and beauty are not comparable to those steel monsters like rough men!"

The boatswain looked like a nostalgic man, Sifa sensibly shut his mouth and did not express his opinion.

After a while, they finally boarded the deck of the Breaker. Xifa found that there were already several people on the deck, but they didn't look like sailors.

They all had luggage around them, and even a girl.

Roger coughed dryly, waved his hands and said, "Come here, everyone is here now. In the future, you will be partners working together on the ship, you will become close friends, and brothers who can rely on each other. And all of this, Let's start by introducing yourself."

"So, who will come first?"

As soon as the words fell, Quincy with dark blue hair raised his hand, turned around and looked at the others indifferently, and said, "Quincy Barker, I am a Beyonder of Sailor Path Sequence 8."

"There is one thing I want to make clear here. I have never thought of being your partner or relying on each other. I only believe in myself. And I believe that one day, you people will call me Mr. Captain !"

Self-confident, ambitious, unsocial, and a very difficult guy

After Sifa made a simple assessment, he turned around with a smile: "Sifa Disraeli, the Extraordinary of Hunter Path Sequence 8. I hope that by joining the navy, I can change my life."

"Mr. Xifa came from a noble family. If you need advice on etiquette, you might as well talk to him more." The boatswain next to him added.

Hearing about Xifa's background, Quincy frowned, and moved away a few steps, as if unwilling to get too close to Xifa.

Roger smiled again and asked, "So Mr. Sifer, do you have any goals?"

"Speak the words of the goal."

The corner of Xifa's mouth raised slightly: "I think General Wang Guo should be a very suitable target."

Roger's smile froze, and then he said in a low voice: "This year's recruits are quite ambitious. One wants to be a captain, and the other goes straight to the general of the kingdom."

"interesting."

The bosun cleared his throat and called, "Go on."

"Hello, everyone." A girl in a complicated and gorgeous dress and a gauze hat with a ribbon came out gracefully. Around her neck, she wears a ruby ​​pendant necklace. On her wrists and fingers, there are bracelets, rings and other jewelry.

"I'm Natalie Anne. I'm a 'pharmacist' and a surgeon. My interest is to make money, and then turn them into various jewelry to wear on my body."

Pharmacist?

Xifa couldn't help but glanced at the girl a few more times, and found that although the brown-haired lady with dark green eyes was introducing herself, she was still staring at the ring on her hand.

After Miss Pharmacist finished introducing herself, a tall and sunny young man came out. He had brilliant blond hair, and his blue eyes were like a long lake with a warm luster. He glanced at everyone gracefully, and then smiled. .

"Edward Sean, I am the 'Midnight Poet', and I am also a painter. I once held a solo exhibition in Backlund. Although there were very few audiences, I hope to draw more magnificent paintings. I also want to have It was an epic experience, so joining our Royal Navy."

"I believe that there will be an extraordinary experience at sea, thank you everyone."

In the end all that remained was a shorter man in an ill-fitting overcoat and a bowler hat. He seemed a little nervous, his eyes kept looking around, as if he wanted to escape from the ship.

He introduced himself very simply: "I'm Frank."

Gone? Xifa spread her hands, a little surprised.

The boatswain laughed dryly: "Mr. Frank Kate is a 'stealer' and a habitual thief. He signed an agreement with us, so he is here."

"If I were you guys, I would watch my wallet and all the valuables on my body."

"Okay, then you can communicate freely and wait for the captain's arrival."

"I have doubts."

The tall, thin, blue-haired Quincy glanced suspiciously at everyone: "What the hell are we doing here?"

He held out his hand to Roger: "A boatswain who looks more like a pirate than a naval officer, an outdated wind-powered ship that doesn't look like a warship at all."

"And these."

"Young nobleman, Miss Qianjin, the painter and a thief. May I ask what we should use to fight pirates, should we defeat them with the etiquette of the noble young master, or let the painter recite poems for them, or let Mr. Thief steal their clothes, Let them die naked and ashamed?"

"What a joke! I want to join the Royal Navy, not the Sea Circus!"
