Chapter 444 Boarding
"This is our boat. It is being repaired now. It won't be long before we can go to sea. By the way, have you ever been on a boat before?"
Dipper, who was standing on the deck of the Narwhal, asked casually.
After talking for a long time, he didn't see any reaction behind him. He turned his head and saw the new sailor of the Narwhal staring at him in a daze, as if he was frightened by his appearance.
"What? Have you never seen a murloc? Do you think I look scary? Boy, you better not make me hate you, or I will make you wash the toilet every day when you get on the boat."
Norden Wright, who was wearing blue and white short-sleeved sleeves, immediately put his hands together when he heard this, and said loudly, "Report to the bosun! No!"
Dipper looked him up and down for a while, and after mumbling a few words in a low voice, he turned around and pushed open the hatch next to him. "Come on, I'll take you inside for a walk."
Norden breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped up to follow. "Report to the boatswain, I am the border guard of the lighthouse ship, and I have learned everything on board!"
"Don't be so full of words. Our ship is different from other ships. The Narwhal is a ship that can dive. It is probably the first ship in the Earth Sea. Let's go, I will take you to the water injection cabin."
Norden suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked through the cabin door. When he saw the dark and narrow corridor inside, his goosebumps were about to rise. He finally boarded the ship of his dreams.
Dipper took Norden around the Narwhal inside and out, and took him to familiarize himself with the future environment.
"Don't be so tense, the exploration ship is not a navy, as long as you complete your mission, you can do whatever you want for the rest of the time. By the way, whose soldier are you?"
"Report! I belong to the Third Fleet!"
"Third Fleet? Who is in charge of that?" Di Pu looked a little confused, he didn't know much about the naval system.
Usually Feuerbach and Bandage are responsible for that.
"It's Brigadier General Roves."
Hearing Norden say this name, Bandage's eyes lit up. "Ah~, it's that kid."
Di Pu remembered that the guy who was obviously the captain of the exploration but still wore a black military uniform. He was one of the captains of the exploration who found Hope Island together.
"No wonder you are so old and tense. I heard that he was the navy of other islands before becoming an exploration ship, so his soldier discipline is the strictest, but that kind of thing is not used here, so put that set away."
Norden refrained from wanting to report, and nodded in a relaxed manner. "OK."
"Did you see it? This is the water tank. Under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to open it except the chef. Why did you go to the island? It's also a picture of Echo Coins?"
As soon as Di Pu asked this question, Norden's expression became very frenzied, "I'm not doing it for money! Because I adore the Governor! I would like to board his ship even in my dreams! Adventure with him."
"What? What kind of bullshit reason is this?" Dipper put his hands together in confusion and wiped the fins on his head.
After Di Pu's detailed questioning, he found out that his captain actually had a group of admirers on the island, and they thought that the other governors were cowards who would accept it at the first sight.
Only Governor Charles is like this, even if he has his own island, he still continues to explore the living island, which is worthy of the original intention of the establishment of the exploration ship, and he is the real human hero.
Di Pu pinched the scales on his chin with his pointed nails, thinking in surprise: "Sure enough, there are a lot of people on the island, there are all kinds of people, and there are such a group of people? Why are they idle?" ?”
"Report to the boatswain! I will never hold back, even on my ship. My physique is the strongest, and my marksmanship is very accurate. I can save more than eight rings in ten shots." Norden said The body subconsciously collapsed again.
"Not so much, your position is just a sailor, your task on the ship is very simple, it is to do some chores on the ship at ordinary times, and then carry supplies when you go to the island."
After speaking, Dipper turned and continued to walk down. "Come to my house at three o'clock in the afternoon to report, our deck crew needs to get together, let's get to know each other"
"Then can I see the Governor?" Norden's eyes were full of excitement.
"Are you deaf? You said it was the deck crew. Is the captain a member of the deck crew?"
A little disappointment flashed in Norden's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. "Mr. Dipper, how did you meet the captain?"
"That would be a long story..." Dipper took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it back into his pocket just as he was about to light it.
Two months is fast and slow, but for Charles, he has already become a little impatient.
During this period of time, apart from some necessary exercises, he was always paying attention to the battle situation on the side of the Holy Light Cathedral.
It is not good for the pope to fail completely, but it is not good for the pope to win completely. It is best to have a stalemate with the Fortan religion, so that there is room for other maneuvers after he finds the key.
The daily battle situation was sent to Charles's desk by telegram. Generally speaking, both sides were more restrained than he imagined, and the big scene of life and death he imagined did not appear.
Casualties in the daily battle were controlled within a few ships. The Pope, who was as powerful as a human-shaped nuclear bomb, did not make a move, and he did not know what he was tabooing.
Waiting until the Narwhal was completely remodeled, the battle situation was so exhausting.
The hole in the shed was opened, and the morning of Hope Island came. Charles opened his eyes from the bed, and he put on the captain's uniform that was washed clean by the maid on the stool next to him.
Then he went to the bathroom, took out the black blade and shaved his beard. The cold fresh water flowed down the faucet, and Charles splashed it on his face.
He enjoyed this process. Today is the day to board the boat. As long as he boards the boat, he can only use sea water for washing and so on.
The seawater is filled with a fishy smell, and it will make the skin extremely rough. Fortunately, he doesn't care much about it.
When Charles came to the pier, some crew members had already arrived ahead of time, and there were some new faces among them. They were all new crew members that Charles had found during this period, and Norden was one of them.
However, compared to the crew, the Narwhal has changed even more. The white-painted shell in the past has all become matte black, a black full of security.
The Narwhal is greeting itself with a rope made of steel wire.
Charles followed the ladder to the deck and tapped on the poop position with his prosthetic limb, and the dull sound reached his ears.
"呵呵~~" As the black blade slashed across the ship, there was a piercing friction sound instantly, and a shallow scratch was left where the blade slashed.
No. 3 steel's protection ability is better than he imagined, and the current Narwhal probably won't sink so easily even if it is hit by shelling.
