Chapter 345: Captain Jack and the Harp Mermaid
Could this "Clipper Jack" be the future Pirate King Jack?
The panda can't see it, and neither can the other travelers.
In terms of age and appearance, the future pirate king Jack is a middle-aged man of about thirty-five or sixteen. Jack, the restaurant clerk, will naturally grow up to that appearance in a few years. Although the captain in front of him looks a little older now, but It is not uncommon to become young after stepping into the legendary realm.
As for the detailed appearance, the portrait of Pirate King Jack is a man wearing an old turban, dressed casually and with a bohemian smile. He is not necessarily handsome, but he has an unrestrained, free-spirited aura, like the wind blowing on the sea, not stopping for anything.
Panda still remembers the vertical paintings of these important NPCs in the game. Compared with the vertical paintings, he felt that the restaurant clerk Jack was somewhat similar, but the captain Jack in front of him was a little different from the vertical paintings-the biggest face on the captain's face. The features are his thick and straight eyebrows, and his eyes full of energy. In contrast, the few inconspicuous knife scars on his face were not a distinctive feature.
Such eyebrows and eyes are significantly different from the bohemian pirate king Jack in the game's vertical painting.
However... the world is not absolute, and the appearance will also change. What's more, the vertical painting in the game and the appearance in reality are not necessarily very similar. Panda has seen the Jagged Prime Minister Leopold. There can only be seven or eight similarities between the vertical painting in the game and the real Leopold. If you know in advance, you can see that it is the same person. That's it.
Panda compared his memory and the appearance of Captain Jack in front of him, and felt that if he had preconceived ideas, he seemed to be able to find some similarities in the faces of the two...
He sighed secretly in his heart, without thinking about this troublesome issue, and discussed with Captain Jack about taking a boat to the Southern Islands.
"I have enough cabins on my ship," said Captain Jack. "Whether the merman's goods are good or sugar, one is expensive, and the other is limited in what I can buy. So my ship never It will be full. In fact, I often do some passenger-carrying business, after all, carrying people can make more money than freight.”
"Few guests are willing to take the fast boat?" Panda asked.
"You're an old hand!" Captain Jack laughed. "The faster the boat, the more bumpy it is. For passengers, taking a fast boat is not a pleasant thing. People without certain sailing experience will not know this."
"I just heard from the seniors in the church." Panda replied.
Captain Jack's gaze stopped on the holy emblem on the chest of his armor, and nodded: "Church of the Crucifixion is a good place, I have a friend who suffered a famine in his hometown when he was a child, and a paladin of the Church of the Crucifixion took him hostage. Lord, intimidate the Lord to open a warehouse for disaster relief - he spent almost two months holding the Lord hostage like this, and finally committed suicide when the famine was over. What an amazing man!"
Panda lowered his eyes: "It is our honor to die to protect the innocent."
He had no memory of this matter, and he was not sure whether the captain in front of him was testing himself, so he could only answer like this.
Of course, it was impossible for Captain Jack to know what he was thinking, and continued: "Although it is a bit rude, for the safety of me and the crew, can you please use your church's unique abilities?"
Panda nodded and closed his eyes. After a while, golden rays of light emanated from his body and turned into a pair of light wings, wrapping the table and the two people sitting around the table.
This is a divine technique unique to the Church of the Suffering God, the Guardian Wing.
Captain Jack reached out and touched the light wing twice, feeling the reassuring warmth unique to divine energy, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Excellent!" he said cheerfully, "I'm honored to be with a paladin like you, and I'd like to invite you aboard my ship now, if you like—the Harp Mermaid's cabin is not bad. It's comfortable, it shouldn't be rude."
Panda also smiled and put away the spell.
"Get on board in advance to adapt to the environment, of course."
After dinner, he followed Captain Jack out of the bar, walked from Pier 1 to Pier 3, and saw the "Harp Mermaid".
The whole ship was painted white, with a mermaid with a harp painted in gold paint. This ship is a bit out of tune with other ships around it. It is obviously much narrower and longer than ordinary cargo ships, and the bow is also significantly tilted. Moreover, unlike the cargo ship, it does not have a bow image to pray for luck. At the front end of the ship, there are sharp ramming horns like animal teeth. On the side of the ship, there are also several ballistas for combat use - it can be seen that this ship can not only carry cargo, but also fight.
If it wasn't for the previous bartender's swearing assurance, Panda would never want to sail on such a ship. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there should be a black flag hidden in the captain's room. When the ship encountered a single fat sheep at sea, the captain would ask the sailors to lower the "gold coins and ships" symbolizing the Molai Commercial Federation. The flag, replace it with this black flag that symbolizes pirates.
Because it was night, there were not many sailors on board. Half of the sailors of the Harp Mermaid were from the archipelago, and half were from the vicinity of Molai Port. Now the sailors who live here have all gone home. They will not come back until tomorrow, and then set off the next morning.
This reassured the panda a lot about the ship's livelihood - pirates would not choose locals to be sailors, and the reason why rabbits would not eat grass on the edge of the nest, everyone understood.
As Captain Jack said, the cabins on the Harp Mermaid were fairly comfortable. Although the space is a little narrow, the bed is soft enough, and there are ropes on the bed to fix the body. As long as the body is fixed with the rope before going to bed, no matter how big the wind and waves are, you don't have to worry about being thrown out.
Of course... the premise is that you don't get seasick.
The panda before crossing was a little seasick. Although his body was quite strong, he didn't know why he was afraid of the feeling that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground. He was seasick and airsick—as long as he was off land, he got sick. So in the end, if he wants to travel far, he would rather take the train.
...and that happened.
Thinking of the past, the panda sighed softly, and lay down on the bed just like that without using a rope to fix himself.
The boat swayed gently in the wind and waves, and his head was gradually dizzy. So he sighed, opened the character panel, and quietly stared at the skill bar. After a while, he saw the "Navigation" skill appearing in the skill bar.
Without further ado, he raised this skill to level ten with experience points in one breath.
The feeling of dizziness disappeared quickly, and he even felt that this gentle bump was a very comfortable thing, like lying on a massage chair.
Smiling with satisfaction, the panda fell asleep peacefully.
