Looking at Aunt Marcy and Sigurd waiting for him at the gate of the yard.
As if afraid that his mother would not let him speak again this time, Sigurd hurriedly took two steps forward and came to Alka's side.
Handed him the sailor knife in the scabbard in his hand.
"Alka, take it. This is my favorite knife. You must use it well. I hope your voyage on the sea will be as smooth as the sea breeze."
After taking the sailor knife handed to him by Sigurd, Alka buckled it directly on his waist and back.
"Well, don't worry."
At this time, Aunt Marcy came up and hugged Alka again.
"Child, although I cannot say that I am your biological mother, I hope you are safe and sound. Sometimes, some things are not worth fighting for with your life, and you must know how to make choices."
"Your mother will protect you until the end. I hope you will always be healthy and safe. Remember to come back often.
When you come back, you will be the healthy you now."
As she spoke, Aunt Marcy, who had a strong body, could not help but shed tears.
She wiped her tears and patted Alka's shoulder.
"Go, just like a seagull, spread your wings and fly in the storm!"
Alka nodded heavily.
Then he turned around and walked forward along the path.
After a while, Siegert's voice came from behind.
"Alka, remember to tell me about your treasure hunting experience when you come back. If possible, maybe bring some good treasures!"
"What are you talking about, little brat?"
"Oh, stop hitting mom, I know I was wrong!"
Turning around and looking at the scene at the gate of the courtyard in the distance, Alka couldn't help but smile.
The sadness in his heart was dispelled a lot.
Turning around and walking forward.
On both sides are golden wheat fields, swaying slightly with the refreshing breeze of the afternoon.
Alka's direction is not towards the port, he is walking towards the center of the island.
There.
There are still people who need to say goodbye.
...
As dusk approaches.
Carrying a suitcase and a backpack, Alka hurriedly ran towards the ship in the port.
At this time, he finally saw the very beautiful ship that Sigert had mentioned.
It was exactly as he said.
This was a three-masted sailing warship with a similar appearance to that of a galleon. The length of the ship was estimated to be about 30 meters.
At the head of the ship, there was a huge beast-shaped bow statue with a single horn on its head.
The color of the entire ship was blue and white, with patterns painted on both sides.
You can see that there is a gun deck on the lower level, but the gun port is now covered.
It is really good in appearance, and it may have a certain concealment effect at sea.
Although not much.
Only Andre was seen at the bow with his arms folded, staring at Alka who was running hurriedly.
After seeing Alka looking at him, he tilted his head to the side to signal him to come up.
Under the ship, there was a young man dressed as a sailor and wearing a blue headscarf waiting.
After seeing Alka, he smiled and greeted him: "You are Alka, right? Come on, let's go up quickly, we're waiting for you."
As he said, he helped Alka take the luggage in his hand and took him on the ship.
As soon as he got on the deck.
He saw Andre walking towards him.
"The boy is very good and courageous."
Alka just smiled and handed him the signed contract from his arms.
After Andre took it, he glanced at it and nodded, then pressed the upper left corner with his thumb.
I don't know if it's my illusion, but I seem to see a little light.
"Did you see the light just now?" Andre suddenly raised his head and looked at Alka and asked.
Hearing this question, Alka nodded: "I did see it, but it just flashed for a moment."
"Well, very good, it seems that you have been exposed to magic."
Andre nodded.
Then he looked at the young sailor who had just brought Alka up and said: "Hamo, take Alka to his room, prepare some personal items for him, and take him to familiarize himself with it."
After saying that, he stared at Alka again.
"After you are familiar with it, come to the captain's room to find me. I will explain to you in more detail what you will do next. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
"No problem, um..."
Alka suddenly got stuck. He suddenly didn't know how to address the person in front of him.
"Call me captain, captain, or boss."
"Yes, captain."
Andre nodded, then glanced at Hamo.
Hamo came up with Alka's suitcase in his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Alka, I'll take you to your resting place first and put your things away."
Alka nodded.
"Thank you."
Hearing this, Hamo reached out and scratched his head and said with a smile: "No, we will all be partners on the ship in the future, it's only natural."
Only then did Alka carefully observe the young sailor in front of him.
This is a young man with short brown hair, a little bit of natural curls, and light freckles on his cheeks.
A young man who is slightly shorter than himself.
Wearing an ordinary cotton short-sleeved shirt, a pair of brown linen pants, a pair of waterproof short boots, and a sailor's short knife around his waist.
"Come, let's go this way."
He took Alka to the back of the ship, where there was a single-story poop.
There was a door in the center of the poop, and an ordinary small door on the side.
Hamo introduced: "The one in the middle is the captain's room, and the door on the left is the emergency medical room. If you are injured, you have to go there quickly."
"Let's go this way."
He took Alka and walked through the aisle on the side of the poop.
Here you can see that one door after another is arranged in an orderly manner.
"The first room is the drawing room on the ship, and Miss Xiadaiti's room."
Miss? Female.
Alka couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart.
After all, it is relatively rare to have a fixed female member on a ship.
After all, the voyage on the sea can take at least 10 days or half a month.
At least that's the case among ordinary people.
On second thought, this is not an ordinary ship or team.
Then they stopped directly at the second door.
Hamo opened the handle and pushed the door open, saying, "This is your room. The main members and trainee members on the ship usually live in the stern."
Alka also followed in.
The room is a separate space, with a single bed in the innermost part and a wardrobe at the foot of the bed.
And near the door, there is a solid wood table and a chair, and an oil lamp is hung on the table.
There is also a bookcase next to it, but it is empty.
Then Alka actually saw a separate toilet.
His eyes began to light up.
During the time on the merchant ship, going to the toilet has always been a problem for him.
It's better not to say anything.
