Chapter 300 Going Out to Sea
"What happened to your brother today?"
Vitorino frowned and asked his second son in a low voice, but his eyes were always on Reese, who actually had a smile on his face, although the smile was a little ugly.
Is the sun really rising from the west?
Jamie looked at the smile on his brother's face and felt uncomfortable all over. It would be better to let the other party scold him coldly.
"I'm not sure. I heard from the servants that he went to Roning to compete last night, but failed."
Jamie shook his head, "But the servants don't know if Roning and Reese have any gambling fights. I guess, it won't be that the loser has to keep smiling?"
Smiling in gambling fights?
Vitorino found it incredible, but looking at his son's appearance, he felt it was very likely.
If this is true, then Roning is really in trouble.
Escorted by a group of people, Roning came to the dock of Port Dennis.
Although it is said that the Earl of Screaming Island has affected the business of the Dennis family, the port is still quite lively at this time.
There are many large and small ships docked in the harbor, most of which are only ten meters long and have very simple cabins. You can tell at a glance that they are used for fishing or ferrying to the nearest dock.
The largest ship that Ronin saw was the Dennis III docked in front of him.
The length of this ship is thirty meters. According to Jamie, it is equipped with bedrooms and kitchens.
Although it cannot be compared with modern passenger ships and warships, it is already very simple in this era.
At this moment, the Dennis III was fixed to the harbor by ropes. The sailors on it have made preparations before leaving the shore. As long as Ronin and others get on board, they will set sail.
"Thank you for the hospitality and escort of the Dennis family!"
Ronin expressed his gratitude to Vitorino. The hospitality of the Dennis family is beyond words. In addition to the dinner and the boat for the trip, the family heirs were even escorted in person.
"I hope Mr. Viscount can seriously consider our cooperation."
Vitorino smiled, "I will, Roning, I wish you all the best in Golden Feather City!"
Under the captain's leadership, Roning and his party boarded the ship.
With the captain's order, the sailors untied the ropes, raised the sails, and the big ship slowly left the port.
"Ante, go and inform Baron Hammett to come to Pointed City as soon as possible, and tell him that I have an urgent matter to find him."
After a night of consideration, Vitorino has basically agreed to Roning's proposal. As long as the survey is completed and the site of the port is determined, the next step of cooperation negotiations can be carried out.
Therefore, the survey needs to be carried out earlier, so that the results can be obtained faster.
On Dennis III, the canvas swayed in the sea breeze, making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient ocean legend.
The hull rises and falls with the waves, and every bump makes people feel the magnificence and power of the ocean.
When Ronin conquered Carlos, he had come into contact with the sea, but the feeling at that time was different from now, and he did not have the leisure to observe the seascape.
"Earl Ronin."
Knight Reese came over and said in a sarcastic tone: "Your two guards are really rookies. They can't stand such a little bump."
David and Tom are both seasick. They vomited before sailing a few miles. At this moment, they are lying in the room in the cabin to rest.
After the Wubei port is built, they need to consider whether they are seasick when forming a fleet.
"Everyone has a first time. David and Tom both grew up on land. This is their first time to go to the sea. There is no need to be surprised if they get seasick."
Ronin looked Reese up and down, "Don't tell me you don't get seasick the first time you ride a boat."
Reese snorted coldly, "As a member of the Dennis family, you are a natural athlete in the sea. You don't need to doubt this!"
"Remember to keep smiling, Knight Reese. Your attitude now is not like that of a loser."
Reese was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but as a knight who kept his promises, he raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty.
"Ronin, you won me by strength. When my strength is raised, it will be your time to lose!"
He smiled and said viciously: "When the time comes, I will also ask you to keep smiling in front of me!"
Keeping a smile is really a "cruel" punishment.
"How about this, I see that you are having a hard time smiling, so just stop smiling."
Ronin suggested: "You can consider following me and becoming my knight, so that I can allow you to have a sullen face."
If he can get Reese to follow him, not only will Wubei Territory have one more strong warrior who is familiar with the sea, but also get the support of Pointed City.
Reese glanced at Ronin lightly, "My Lord Earl, don't forget that I am the heir of the Dennis family, and I can only follow the Lord of Wushan Territory in the future. And as far as I know, you seem to have lost the right to inherit Wushan Territory?"
After saying this, he felt like he had let out a breath of bad air, and his smile became more natural.
His words made Ronin not easy to answer, he couldn't say that he wanted to take back the inheritance right, right?
"Your father is only 52 years old. With his silver-level physical strength, it is no problem for him to live another 40 to 50 years under normal circumstances. You can experience it in my territory for such a long time."
Luo Ning said beguilingly: "I am not the only genius knight in Wubei Territory. My commander and guard officer are about the same age as you, but their strength can crush you."
A cold light flashed in Reese's eyes, and the word crush seemed to insult him.
"Don't play such exciting tricks in front of me. I won't be angered by you."
He turned around, not wanting to continue communicating with Luo Ning: "If you want me to follow you, wait until you become a Meteor Knight."
"Okay, if I become a Meteor Knight before you, then you will come to Wubei Territory."
"Let's talk about it then!" he said, walking into the cabin.
He turned around and looked at the vast sea. After several hours of sailing, their ship was dozens of miles away from Dennis Port. At this time, there were basically no other ships visible on the sea.
The Screaming Sea doesn't look big on the map, but its area is quite large, and it's an inverted triangle. The farther to the sea, the wider the surface becomes, and the distance between the two sides becomes farther.
Luo Ning learned from Captain Maifu that the wind speed on the sea surface had not been strong recently, so the entire voyage took half a day longer than usual.
"Niujiaowan..."
Luo Ning whispered the name of this seaport.
It is said that when the site was selected, the Griffin Knight noticed the horn-shaped terrain at a glance when observing it from the air, so he named the harbor "Niu Horn Bay", and the city that subsequently developed here naturally Named Niujiao City.
This city is located in the southeast of the Royal Capital and is directly controlled by Golden Feather City. In a sense, setting foot in Niujiao City is equivalent to arriving at the Royal Capital.
Sailing is boring, especially for long periods of time.
After experiencing the initial freshness, Luo Ning also became tired. It seemed that the scenery was the same, and he was a little tired visually.
In the evening of the next day, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea surface red.
High in the cabin, the crewman in charge of the lookout suddenly pointed to the sea to the north and shouted: "Captain, look, there is a ship over there heading south."
"Oh? Did you see clearly what kind of ship it is?"
The lookout tried hard to identify, but finally shook his head.
"It's too far away to see clearly!"
Captain Mai Fu immediately walked up to the high platform and looked at it intently.
At the end of the field of vision, there were indeed three ships heading south with their sails raised, and they seemed to be heading towards the Dennis III.
Wheat Bran immediately shouted: "Guys, cheer up, pay attention to the direction of those ships, control the rudders and sails, don't let us hit you!"
At the same time, he signaled to his deputy: "Go and inform Lord Reese of this situation. We have entered the waters of the Screaming Islands." (End of Chapter)
