The Great Worm Lich

In the winter rain, although the city of Vines is adjacent to the ocean, the temperature difference is not particularly obvious throughout the year, but when the whole city is shrouded in days of light rain, an umbrella and leather are worn on the spacious and flat stone road Pedestrians in the raincoat still looked a little bit shrunk and their feet hurried.

On a relatively remote corner of the city’s most prosperous commercial street, the “Golden Sea Fish Avenue”, a small two-story building that is small enough to hold only two wooden tables, a stove, and four soft chairs, a dull-looking teenager passes through the old The old wooden window looked at the little splashes of water on the stone slab and summoned the courage to whisper: "Sir, the rain is getting bigger and bigger and bigger..."

"What's going on with the rain? I'll tell you if I have anything to say, Romon, I said I don't like the way you're talking." Sitting in a soft chair, standing in front of the fire, the back leaned against the backrest, according to the new Formed the bad habit of a small businessman who put his feet on the wooden table, Zhang Lisheng stretched his waist and said.

　　 "No one will come to apply when the rain is heavy. Can I go home earlier, boss? Today is my mother's birthday?" The teenager shrugged and turned to look at the young man with a eager tone.

"Oh, of course, since today is your mother's birthday, of course you can go home early, um. Happy birthday to you for your mother, Luo Meng," Zhang Lisheng replied casually, saying that he also drew a gold coin from his pocket Pop up with your thumb, "This is half a month's salary in advance. Buy a gift for her yourself."

The gold coin flashed a faint brilliance, slipped into an arc and fell into the hands of the teenager, groping for the surface of the coin, he opened his mouth, his face flushed red, and said incoherently: "Mr. Thank you very much, sir, Really. Really, thank you so much..."

　　 "It doesn't matter, your work has been very hard these days, and the recruited sailors all meet my requirements. This is what you deserve," Zhang Lisheng waved his hand. "Come on, you still have to buy gifts, don't you."

　　 "Yes, thank you very much sir, thank you very much..." Luo Meng nodded. He took the umbrella and kept saying thanks in his mouth, and opened the door and walked out of the low building.

When the wooden door opened, the raindrops fell into the house and wet the fancy cloth with the letters "Li Shang" written in the eaves. Looking at his fabric signboard, Zhang Lisheng waited until the door was closed again and shook his body on the soft chair. . He murmured: "This Romon is obedient, easy to get around, and has no brains. It is really the best person to stay in the Venetian city to guard the firm after I leave.

The single and unrestrained sailors have been recruited, but the navigators and captains who are applying for it are too young, that is, they can barely understand the navigation charts. Using them to explore the route may not be as useful as the Wuli fisherman. This is really It’s so weird, why wouldn’t there be an old guy..."

　　 Thinking about it for a while, but had no clue. The hungry young man touched his stomach and stood up. He touched the black silk umbrella from behind the door and wandered out in the drizzle to the restaurant.

　　 On the way, I heard the sound of ‘wow la la...’ raining on the ground. In his head, he was still thinking about the question just now, considering whether he should change his mind. Yu Guangxi, walking around the corner of his eyes, suddenly glanced at a familiar figure, and his heart moved. Immediately greeted loudly and enthusiastically: "Hano, hey Hano. I didn't expect to meet you here.

　　We haven’t seen each other since we returned to Venezia, where have you been these days...

　　You, how are you... "But when he could see clearly what the once clever tongue and proud pride of the navigator looked like for ten years, he couldn't say anything for a while.

"I have been staying in the city police station these days, and I have been investigated for the violent act of marine sailors. I haven't had a very good time." In the rain, Hano responded with a shabby gray umbrella, and his face was as hazy as the weather. The dull, trembling, approached the young man and said.

　　 "The sailor violently moved," Zhang Lisheng froze for a moment. "Isn't that thing already suppressed in accordance with the'Law of the Sea'? Isn't it enough to die seventy or eighty people?"

Speaking of these, I also went to the police station these days, and went to the Navy Bureau and the Insurance Association several times, but it was all because of the robbership of the Hellman to explain. The people I met were very polite, and the sailor riots repeatedly mentioned Never mentioned it. "

"You are now the distinguished guests of the white Philippines and Downtons of the noble merchants and nobles of the city of Venezia, the taxpayers of the city, the owner of the three sea ships, and my navigator, who is suspected of being the source of the riots and has a reputation for being utterly different. The questions asked are of course different."

　　 "You are under suspicion," Zhang Lisheng was delighted when he heard Hano's grief and indignation, but the surface showed a sympathetic expression, "But you did nothing in the cab when the riot happened!"

　　 "But I didn't like Captain Anducci who would rather be seriously injured than stop the violent sailor," Hano said with a trembling voice. "Actually everyone knows that I am not guilty."

　　 But, they just want me to speak out personally. I am a coward, a ‘soft egg’ who gives up my employer at a dangerous time, and is an untrustworthy person. They just want me to destroy my own reputation.

But, what the White Philippe family gave me again, it is worthy of me to maintain their honor in despair, yes, they sent me to the nautical academy and turned my child, a painter and cook, into a child A respected pilot.

　　 But I also worked for them for twenty-five years. For the entire twenty-five years, I could only work for them. The salary of Qicheng was to be deducted to repay their loans. Isn’t that enough, isn’t it enough..."

"Hey, don't move Hano, don't move," Zhang Lisheng said quickly, seeing Hano's emotions getting out of control, "I know you are wronged, but the rainy streets are not a good place to speak. Have you eaten? Or else how about I invite you to lunch in a warm restaurant.

　　 A glass of good fruit wine, a fried browned steak on both sides, let's talk while eating? "

　　Hano was silent for a while in the rain, and his emotions gradually calmed down. He nodded gaspingly, followed the young man through three or four streets, and finally came to a noisy pub near the city gate.

When I entered the door, I felt warm and warm. Before the bar filled with tobacco, food, and spirits, Zhang Lisheng was relieved, and he beckoned to the boss who was full of meat, butcher, "Charton comes with three sautéed cutlets , Two sea chowders. A jug of the best'sour plum wine'..." walked inside and sat down at a dining table in the corner of the wall.

"It seems that you are also a hairless iron rooster, who is already the owner of a business and comes to eat in this tavern." Hano, who said nothing all the way, sat beside the young man, looked at the noisy surroundings, and suddenly ridiculed He smiled and said.

"Hano, I didn't expect you to say that," Zhang Lisheng said with a big mouth open. "Is this restaurant not your favorite place for seafarers to come, but I have been recruiting sailors, navigators and captains these days. Will always come to eat in this place."

　　 "You don't understand anything, but you have the luck of wandering around at a young age, but you have three merchant ships at once;

　　 I know all the nautical knowledge. I have worked hard for more than 20 years, but my destiny has made me lose my reputation. Untrustworthy ‘garbage’, Hano said silently for a while, “Hey...’ Sneered, “Listen to young people, if your ship is a small merchant ship or recruiting sailors alone, it’s a good choice to come to this place.

　　 But you have two medium-sized merchant ships and one large merchant ship. This has already had a lot of appeal. If you really want to recruit qualified pilots and captains. Need to go somewhere else. "

　　 "Where." Zhang Lisheng pressed his inner joy and asked anxiously.

"It seems that the White Phillips and Downtons are not as thankful as they seem, maybe they are still waiting for you to go bankrupt and then buy the seaboat at a low price." Hano did not directly Answer youth questions. Full of malicious defamation of his employer, he asked: "You want to recruit pilots and captains, do you know who the navigator is?"

　　 "I don't know, Hano, I don't have to go to raise animals if I want to eat steak." Zhang Lisheng shook his head and shook his head.

　　 At this time, the coquettish and plump waitress brought the steak, sea fish and fruit wine. The aroma of the food is overflowing, and Hano sniffs. Suddenly the voice choked a little: "Can you send me two steaks home in a while?"

　　 "Of course." The youth nodded.

When he heard this, Hano gritted his teeth inexplicably, poured a large glass of fruit wine on his own, and then drunk suddenly said: "Listen to young people, this is the'Venice' of Katman City State. For example, if you have just established a foothold, a small sea merchant recruits captains and navigators with the attitude of “don’t have to raise meat to eat meat steaks”.

　　 Unless you are the illegitimate child of the **** of luck, you can only find crooks or liars who are full of lies. The result is bankruptcy or shipwreck. Do you understand? "

　　 "Understood Hano, can you tell me who the captain and navigator are?"

"For the sake of this big jug of sour plum wine, of course it is." Hano poured himself a full glass of fruit wine again, and then drunk, said drunkenly: "Kataman City State is established by sea trade, The excellent navigator has a very high social status~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Especially those who have found new routes, explored new islands, or published books that have attracted the attention of the elders, often get the title, even It is possible to become a city owner. Even if the heirs of the noble merchants and nobles become captains and navigators, it is not a decent thing.

What matches the lofty social status of the navigator is the cultivation of the harsh conditions of the captain and navigator. In addition to the innate good brains, a long learning process and the financial support of the male hòu are also essential, so the navigator here is roughly It can be divided into two types, one is a guy who comes from a wealthy family and was trained by his parents at a great price;

　　 And the other is a child who showed excellent talents when he was a child, and signed contracts with various business firms to borrow money to enter the nautical academy’s poor children..."
