November, the first day of the Scorpio month, there were no red flags flying, and no crowds of people. At the most remote dock in Kordor Port, two ships left the port one after the other.
The first ship was a clipper from the Castle of the Earl of Golden Anchor, with the Golden Anchor Flag flying on it. This flag was very important. Attacking the Golden Anchor Flag meant attacking the Earl of Golden Anchor, and this flag was enough to scare away the little pirates.
The second ship was the remodeled Bauhinia, with two tall chimneys emitting black smoke, which was dragging backwards, proving that the speed of the ship was getting faster and faster.
Rudolf stood at the bow, looking at the boundless sea, his heart full of expectations. It has been more than two months since I came to Kordor Port, and I finally found a ship and embarked on a journey to the southern continent.
Butler Nain's ship was very fast, leaving the Bauhinia behind for a distance, but Rudolf was not in a hurry, as the ship would slow down in a few days.
The day after going out to sea, Kedrick came out of the cabin. Ursula did not come with them. In a few days, Ursula will pass the letter to Butler Wenler to let Wenler know that Kedrick was forced to run away from home.
"How do you feel?" Rudolf asked Kedrick on the side.
"Very good, I have never felt like this before, this is the taste of freedom."
Rudolf had a smile on his face, but he was a little worried in his heart.
Even if he did not kill the Pisces wizard of the Ancient Sea Wizard Society, the Ancient Sea Wizard Society might still cause trouble for him. The Ancient Sea Wizard Society is a traitor among wizards, a traitor who surrendered to the ruler and reduced the number of wizards for the ruler. It was simply wicked.
Rudolf looked at the clipper of the Earl's Castle in front of him and felt that he was very smart. If he couldn't beat him, he would call for help. He called for a level 4 knight, who was also the patrol steward of the Golden Anchor Earl's Castle. At that time, the enemy would be a little afraid.
Five days later, Rudolph and Cooper said, "Cooper, speed up, it's time to let Butler Nairn find out that their young master is on our ship."
After issuing the order, Cooper went down to the cabin as usual and went to the engine room to observe the operation of the steam engine.
For Chief Engineer Salmon, this was a novel experience. Because the people who under him were responsible for heavy physical labor were not living people, but some corpses, or to be more precise, the corpses of zombies.
More than a dozen corpses could only accept the simplest orders. After the engineer shouted out the order, these corpses would load coal shovel by shovel and transport coal one trip at a time. They don't know fatigue, don't need to rest, don't need to eat, they just need Captain Cooper to add some zombie power to their bodies when he patrols every day. The most exaggerated thing is that one of the corpses has no meat below the forearm, only bones, but it doesn't affect its work.
Engineer Mendoza said that the ship never worried about the crew mutiny at any time, because except for the crew in charge, they were all Captain Cooper's people.
Captain Cooper entered the engine room and stood aside, silently watching the operation of the engine room. When accelerating, the steam turbine will adjust many valves, which Cooper needs to memorize.
He has hundreds of collections, all sleeping in the cabin below. The corpses are very clumsy, and these crew members need to issue orders when working. Especially technical crew members such as the chief engineer and the wheel master are indispensable. Cooper uses some special finger bones, and the crew can use these finger bones to issue orders.
The Bauhinia relies on 20 crew members and 100 corpses to operate.
For these more than 20 crew members, everything needs to be adapted slowly. Sometimes you have to go down to the bottom cabin, and you accidentally step on a soft thing. When you look down, you find that it is a rotten eyeball. A corpse stretched out his hand and touched its eyeball on the ground. Its rotten eye socket was loose, causing the eyeball to fall off. It was so creepy to see these.
The rotten and spoiled eyeball, after the corpse was stuffed into the eye socket, it could see the road again, which was also amazing.
The deck and the first floor of the cabin are the areas where the living people move around, while the three floors of the cabin below are the areas where the corpses move around, and the two sides are clearly separated. Even the cannons were operated by Captain Cooper himself.
Cooper looked at the work in the engine room, chatted with Chief Engineer Salmon for a few words, and then left the engine room.
When he came to the bridge, he saw that the Bauhinia and Butler Nairn's ship were sailing side by side. The twin-cylinder steam turbine is really powerful, and it can create miracles with great force. When it really accelerates, it is no slower than a speedboat.
Across the sea surface of dozens of meters, Kedrick was greeting Butler Nairn. The sea breeze was too strong, and the waves were roaring, making the two people's voices a little intermittent. "Oh my God! Master Kedrick! Why are you here!"
"Good afternoon! Butler Nain!"
"I'm going to kill you! Rudolph the Furnace! How dare you kidnap Master Kedrick!"
"The waves are so big today!"
"Master Kedrick! I'll save you right now! Take you away from the wizard's clutches!"
"Nain, do you have any red wine from the South Continent? I don't have enough wine!"
The furious old Nain felt that his head would be chopped off by the Earl himself. The light of a knight had already shone on him. Behind Nain, the other knights also shone.
Just when Nain was about to stare his eyes out, he saw a small boat being lowered from the Bauhinia.
"I'm Mackenzie, the first mate of the Bauhinia, Mr. Rudolph, please come over!"
Nain had a dark face and had to get on the boat. Scorpio wizards have many ways to control people, and he was very worried that Master Kedrick had been poisoned.
After arriving on the Bauhinia, Nairn checked Kedrick immediately. He found that Kedrick had no signs of poisoning. Could it be some kind of toxin that he could not detect?
"Master! I will kill the wizard Rudolph who kidnapped you right now!"
"Why did you kill him? He didn't kidnap me. I left the port of Kordor first to avoid a conflict with my elder brother Caleb."
"Huh?"
Kedrick was not going to hide it. He told how his elder brother Caleb took away his credit. He came out to avoid a quarrel between brothers. In Kedrick's description, he almost cried for the sake of uniting his brother who had suffered aggrieved for the castle.
The two sons of the earl had a conflict, and Nairn, the butler, could not say much. Even if he was Caleb's man, he could not show it too obviously in front of Kedrick.
"Master, does Butler Wenler know that you ran away?"
"Butler Wenler will know in a few days."
"Master Kedrick, please go to my ship. That's our family's ship."
"What if I get on your ship and you turn around and take me back? I won't go." Kedrick not only didn't want to go with Nairn, but also hid behind Rudolph: "If you are worried about my safety, then you should also stay on the Bauhinia. This ship is bigger and less bumpy."
Faced with the extremely determined Kedrick, Nairn had to agree.
Rudolph smiled with satisfaction, this is perfect. Level 4 knights are safer when they come to the Bauhinia.
