Chapter 207 Homecoming 2

Captain Quick was very surprised by Mrs. Setia's honesty.

"Uh... I didn't expect that."

He didn't know what to say. No wonder Mrs. Setia said she used to be a seaman at sea. It turned out to be that kind of "seaman".

"Um... which pirate group are you in?"

Although it felt a bit impolite to pry into the past of others, especially a woman, curiosity still drove Quick to ask this question.

Mrs. Setia didn't have any unhappy look, and said directly: "Captain, have you heard of the Red Fang Pirates?"

"Oh! It's the Red Fang Pirates! That was the legendary pirate group that people talked about every day when I was a pirate. Even Edward, the great pirate who used to roam the Northwest Bay, came from there. Later, he became independent and went to the northwest to work alone! I heard that the captain, Red Fang Gerard, later disbanded the pirate group and went out to explore, and then disappeared."

Quick's eyes were full of stars, and he looked longing.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait! Chiya Gerard? Ladi Setia Gerard?"

During the days in Horn Bay, he knew the female consultant's father's surname - Gerard. Now he thought about it, it was the same surname as that of the famous pirate leader, and the lady Setia in front of him was Miss Ladi's mother, and she had been in the Chiya Pirates.

Quick was shocked: "Could it be... Could it be... Could it be you?"

"Haha, you guessed right." Lady Setia smiled and said, "Chiya Gerard is my husband, and Ladi is our daughter."

"This... This is really unbelievable!"

"After my husband disbanded the pirate group, the family settled down in the independent territory of Messiah in Horn Bay, but I didn't expect him to disappear when he went out to explore alone."

Speaking of this, a look of sadness appeared on Lady Setia's face.

"My daughter was still young at that time, and I raised her alone. One of the reasons why Ladi became an adventurer when she grew up was that she wanted to find out about her father. However, after so many years, there is no clue, and I guess she has lost interest in this idea."

Quick said with regret: "Please accept my condolences, ma'am."

The sadness on Lady Setia's face quickly disappeared, "Thank you, Captain. I have adapted to it over the years."

...

"Hey? I remember that there was only one ship out of the navy today? How come two ships came back?"

"Stupid! That's the Southern! The Southern is back!"

"Ah? It's the Southern? There has been no news for so long, I thought..."

When approaching Fulan Port, the people on the dock had recognized the ship that returned with the Hope. It was the Southern that went south to open a new route a month and a half ago.

The news quickly spread throughout the small dock area, and people gathered to watch the return of the Southern.

The Southern folded its sails and slowly approached the berth. The sailors dropped the rope from the ship, and the boatmen on the dock pulled the rope together, slowly dragged the Southern into the berth, and then tied the rope firmly to the wooden pile.

After the Southern dropped anchor, a gangplank was placed between the hull and the dock.

A loud voice came from the ship:

"Brothers and sisters of the Northwest Bay, your Southern is back! Your Quick is back!"

Quick was the first to step on the gangplank to the shore, opened his arms and shouted loudly to the people, and the crowd responded with cheers.

"Captain Quick, congratulations on your return home!"

Someone who knew him immediately came forward to hug Quick.

Other members of the warship also stepped on the gangplank to the dock one after another, and people they knew rushed up to them, pulling them to ask questions, and the dock was very lively for a while.

Soon, some smart people ran to inform the Navy Command, the City Hall and the shipyard.

So the naval commander Austin led a group of officers, the mayor Theodore led a group of affairs officers, the shipyard supervisor Rubin and the old shipwright Benjamin and other craftsmen came to the dock.

"Our hero!"

Theodore gave Quick and several naval officers behind him and four merchant representatives a hug, and the crowd around him cheered again and again.

"You are the people who have traveled the farthest in the history of Alda!"

This expedition team set out from the lake town to complete this "feat". This is an expedition that is enough to be recorded in the history books, and it was during his tenure. How could Theodore not be happy.

"And it was sailing all sailing ships, and this great "expedition" was carried out from the sea."

No mistake in the poem, the content, the content, the book, the bar!

Rubin and Benjamin were almost crying with joy. Their efforts were not in vain. The successful return of Quick and others showed that the ship they built was usable and easy to use. This was a round trip of thousands of nautical miles.

Austin was the only one who was relatively calm. He encouraged Quick and the others, and then announced that all members on the Southern would take a day off.

He saw the female consultant Ladi and the people around her, and walked up to them and asked:

"Miss Ladi, I didn't expect your identity to be known. Are these two your family members?"

The female consultant said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I really trouble you all in the navy. Let me introduce you, mother, this is Lord Austin of the navy of Alda. Commander Austin, this is my mother Sheila Setia, and this is my...my god sister Lisa."

Austin bowed to the two ladies: "Hello, Mrs. Setia. Hello, Miss Lisa."

The two women quickly returned the greeting: "You are polite, Lord Commander."

Theodore patted Austin on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's celebrate for our heroes in the city hall! Arthur, notify the hotel chefs we have arranged to meet, and let them gather in the city hall. I hope to start the celebration banquet within three hours."

An officer beside him immediately responded: "Yes, Lord Mayor!" Then he ran away like a flash.

Austin reminded Theodore: "Mayor, don't forget to inform those merchants. After all, the purpose of the Lord sending the South to the Horn Bay is to expand trade activities."

"Of course! How could I forget them? I sent someone to inform them before I came."

Theodore already knew that the female consultant went south with the ship to pick up her family, so he also invited Ladi's family and said that he would send someone to send them back to Lake Heart Town the next day.

So everyone surrounded the officers and sailors on the South and rushed to the city hall together.

At the same time, Theodore did not forget to send someone to ride a fast horse to Lake Heart Town, and the news of the return of the South must be delivered to the Lord as soon as possible.
