Alien world

Chapter 121 Chapter 120. "The Titan Winchet"

Saint Laurent calendar May 999, 5.

Kingdom of Rikaner, Port of St. Olis.

Known as the "new star of the world's industry" and the "unsinkable" ocean liner, the Titan Winchet is about to embark on its maiden voyage.

The colorful flags of the port were fluttering, and there was a lot of voices.And in a tavern on the pier, Annan and Michael just won a boat ticket from the chest-thumping dwarf.

The whistle sounded, and the Titan Winchet, carrying thousands of tourists and nearly a thousand crew members, set sail.

On the other side, Maria, a noble girl who came to the bow, was in deep pain.Because of the downfall of the family, her mother forced Maria to marry Morgan, whom she didn't like, and made her want to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

Annan who came to the deck saw this scene and rushed to save her.The two young people met because of this.

Maria felt freedom and affection from this casual and cheerful boy, and Annan also fell in love with this reserved but fiery girl.Then, Maria took off her clothes, put on the gemstone necklace given by Earl Morgan, and let Annan paint for him. After the end, they kissed deeply...

At this moment, the giant ship sailing for the first time hit an iceberg and was about to sink.At the same time, Morgan, who found his fiancée and Annan's affair, angrily slandered Annan for stealing her gemstone necklace, locked him in the cabin, took Maria to the deck, and told her that the ship was sinking and they were going to escape in a lifeboat.

The unforgettable Maria ran back to the cabin and rescued Annan. They fled back to the deck in the icy sea water pouring into the cabin, and saw the Titan Winchet, which claimed to be "unsinkable" with its bow raised high. is sinking.

They ran for the heights, but as the Winchet broke in two, they fell into the icy water with countless people who were not in the lifeboats.

Annan gave his lover the chance of survival, holding each other tightly until he froze to death in the icy sea——

……

"Decades later, a team of adventurers collected, and the old Margaret told about the above-mentioned past, and then threw the jewel necklace that witnessed everything into the sea..."

Annan stopped whispering and writing, and looked up from the never-done sad love story.

Next to it are the geography of the kingdom of Rikan, a dictionary of the common language, and a love story used as a model.

"What do you think of this story?"

At this moment, Michael, Ms. Wine, Francois, Soluman Bronzebeard, Andrew Luna, and Della are gathered in the study.

Francois first asked suspiciously: "Isn't this year 998?"

"Uh... I remember wrong."

Annan lowered his head and daubed out the 9, and added 8 next to it.

"That ship is called the Titan Winchet?" the wine lady asked.

"I promised you that you will name the machine after Winchet in the future..." Annan didn't see the joy on the face of the wine lady, and he might be self-defeating.

He bowed his head and circled the "Titan Winchet" to indicate that it was to be determined.

Soluman Bronzebeard also snorted and said, "Why a dwarf?"

"I want my friends to join in too."

"Maria? Morgan? Isn't that the Countess..." Francois exclaimed after discovering something.

Annan blushed slightly: "The name is only temporary and will be changed again."

Della's whispers floated out of the shadows at this time: "So you drew pictures and did that kind of thing with the count's wife in the count's manor, in the count's bedroom?"

"No! This story is fictional, just for the sake of storytelling."

Annan, who needed to divert his attention, asked Michael, who had not commented yet: "What do you think?"

"Is there no spellcaster on this ship?"

"……No."

"And what about followers of the Goddess of the Sea or the Goddess of Storms?"

"……nor."

Michael pondered deeply: "This ship has no spellcasters, and no church believers. Could it be an evil sacrificial ceremony..."

"There are none of these conspiracy theories ... just accidents."

"Just an accident?"

"It was just an accident."

"Frankly speaking... if this kind of story is put in a tavern, the bard will be thrown a wine bottle." Michael commented, "It doesn't feel as good as "Breaking the Sky."

"Because the story will be presented in a unique form."

"Stage play? Like The Poems of Lazy Dale?"

"almost."

"Then I have no objection."

Annan looked at the rest of the people.

"I have a question, where did the companions of 'Annan' go?" Andrew Luna asked.

That's right... the companion of 'Annan'...

Annan recalled the plot of the original work, but couldn't remember it.

"Why a ship?" Then Soluman Bronzebeard asked. "The Dwarves hate the sea."

"Because uh... this is a historical event that actually happened."

"Not 998 of the Saint Laurent calendar?" Francois asked.

"Moving the time to the present can give the audience a sense of substitution."

"The old man who appears at the end is actually the future?"

"...That's fine too."

"So where did this historical event take place?"

"Okay, stop asking Francois..."

As a bard, Andrew Luna asks: "Why the 'an old man told a story' structure?"

"That way we can immerse ourselves in the story from the perspective of the listener."

Michael jumped out of the discussion itself: "Annan, you don't need to do these things if you want to become famous. Gossip alone can make you spread all over the city."

"And then was replaced again not long after?" Andrew Luna didn't think so. "Annan was right to do this. He needs to jump out of the shackles."

At this time, Michael understood Annan's plan: not to be like "Break the Sky", but to become the protagonist of the stage play.

The wine lady echoed Bronzebeard at this time: "The unsinkable ship is not enough to attract the people, sweetheart, you have to know that many people have never even been out of Breeze City, and they don't yearn for the ocean."

From a macro perspective, this kind of story will also cause the public to distrust the industry, which is not conducive to Annan's future.

So the story does not take place at sea, where should it be placed?

The mage tower standing outside the window gave Annan inspiration: "How about we let the mage tower collapse?"

"Uh……"

Michael pondered, and everyone dared not speak, but Annan thought of more: "The Mage Tower was destroyed and rebuilt, right? We can just arrange the story here. Then replace the passengers who boarded the ship with invitations from the Mage Tower." A group of nobles and civilians, the protagonist wins the invitation from the dwarves...then the Ratmen attack the Mage Tower, causing the Mage Tower to fall."

"But there is no such activity in the Mage Tower."

"The audience doesn't know."

"I'm fine." Frankly...Michael kind of wanted to read this story.So do others.

There's just one more question: will this cause trouble?

Michael thought for a while: "You are the king of the North, at most some mages will want to beat you."

Annan decided to change the background from the sea ship to the mage tower.

People in this world will no longer quarrel over "whether that piece of wood can carry two people?"Annan thought.
