Chapter 146 The Prince Lawrence
Early the next morning.

Lane arrives at Royce Ticket Company in Troy Harbor.

This company is located in a rather old four-story building, which is one of the few buildings with a height of more than three floors in the entire Port of Troy, and there is a wooden sign with a notice on the door.

Ryan walked over, stopped in front of the door, and glanced casually:
"Precautions:
"1. The use of magic is prohibited on board: In order to maintain the stability of the sailing ship and the safety of passengers, it is strictly forbidden to use any form of magic on board. Violation of this regulation may result in expulsion from the ship."

"2. It is forbidden to log on to unknown islands without permission: During the voyage, ships will stop at some islands for rest. For your safety, except for a few islands with permission, passengers are prohibited from logging on to other islands without permission."

"3. Unfamiliar vessel warning: We remind you again that there are some special vessels in the South China Sea. Although we try our best to reduce the chance of encountering them, we cannot completely avoid contact with them. If you see strange vessels, please be vigilant and avoid any contact with it."

"4. Do not defecate or spit anywhere."

"5. Be sure to line up and buy tickets in an orderly manner!"

Unknown island?Strange ship?How does this sound a bit like the ghost ship that Sears was talking about yesterday?Ryan frowned and walked into the ticket hall.

The lobby of "Royce Ticketing Company" is quite spacious, with a total of five ticket windows, but there are already more than ten people lined up in front of each window.

Ryan glanced at it, and didn't go directly to the queue, but came to the side of the hall, in front of a huge wooden board standing upright.

There are a lot of patchwork white papers pasted on the wooden board, announcing all the passenger ship information in the past week, including the destination, the ports it passes through, and the prices of different classes.

Before Ryan had time to take a closer look, a staff member came over and pasted a new white paper on one of the rows of the second-class cabin, with a word written on the paper:
"Sold out."

"It's very popular." Ryan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yesterday he was worried that he would not be able to buy a ticket, but looking at it today, it is really not easy to book a ticket.

The form of this hall is already very close to the station ticket hall in Ryan's previous life. Although there is no scrolling display to mark the information, the scattered white paper used by the ticket company can obviously replace the role of the display.

Ryan's luck is not bad. Among the passenger ships departing for Tinlenburg today, there is still a ship named "Prince Lawrence" that has not yet sold out.

"Prince Lawrence? Isn't that the unlucky ship that Sears mentioned yesterday? It was originally built to cross the stormy sea, but it was left permanently in the South China Sea."

Ryan glanced at the name of the ship to make sure he read it correctly, but then he ruled out the idea. The huge tsunami happened thousands of years ago. How could the Prince Lawrence survive for thousands of years?Definitely just the same name.

There is also a reason why the tickets for this ship are not sold out. For the same voyage, its tickets are at least one-third to one-half more expensive than other ships, especially for third-class tickets, and the price is even lower than that of other ships. twice as much!
Despite this, the third-class and second-class tickets on the Prince Lawrence are still sold out, leaving only the first-class cabin with many seats left.

"Third class is ten pounds, second class is twenty pounds, and first class is fifty pounds. Why is first class so expensive?" Ryan frowned slightly.

The first-class tickets on other ships are only more than 20 pounds. In comparison, this price is enough to buy two first-class tickets on other ships.

In the last three days, apart from the Prince Lawrence, there was also the "Andres" the day after tomorrow, which was a very old ship.

Old, in addition to being slower, it is also more likely to be attacked by pirates, especially small and medium-sized ships, which will encounter some pirates from time to time. Although this problem can usually be solved, compared with large ships, the risk is still Much bigger.

Thinking of the "unfamiliar ship" warning on the notice, Ryan sighed, and decided to be slaughtered by the "Prince Lawrence".

Fifty pounds was the annual net income of a decent small family in Leighton, but on the Prince Laurence, it was only enough to buy a ticket.

After filming the team for nearly half an hour, Ryan bought a first-class ticket to Tynlenburg, and the boarding time was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ryan looked up at the clock in the center of the hall. It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and there were still five hours before boarding began, so he returned to the hotel and took a short rest.

During this process, he enjoyed the most famous sashimi in Tello Port. This was the first time he ate raw meat in his two lifetimes. The taste was indescribable. He sure can't take it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ryan, who had changed into a light-colored coat, arrived at the port of Tero with a cane.

The Prince Lawrence is moored there. Compared to human beings, it is extremely large, and it is said that it can take up to a thousand passengers.

It looks completely different from other ships around. It is silver-white full of metallic texture, with huge sails on the top, and twelve cannons and corresponding gun positions on both sides of the ship-this is a must for preventing pirates. .

"This ship is actually made of metal?" Ryan was a little surprised.

"Not all." The man at the gangway port said with a smile, his eye sockets were a little sunken, his beard was clearly carefully trimmed, he was wearing a neatly wrinkled blue top with gold buttons and epaulettes on his chest, and his lower body was It is the matching trousers in the same color.

"Although the exterior is clad in metal armor, the internal hull and cabins of the Prince Laurence are still made of wood, as are the keels and beams, of course."

"The most important thing is that it adopts a dual power system combining wind power and the latest ocean vortex heart, which can sail even in calm weather."

"The heart of the ocean vortex?" Ryan glanced at the man's uniform. It was obvious that this man was a staff member on the ship.

"Alexis Stevenson, captain of this ship."

The man smiled and nodded at Ryan, as if greeting an old friend.

"It seems that everyone who takes this boat for the first time will express the same emotion as me." Ryan responded with a smile, and at the same time he handed the cane to his left hand.

"Lian Dylan, priest of the Church of Dawn."

Stevenson also extended his right hand at the right time and shook hands with Ryan.

"Believe me, this is an unforgettable journey." Stevenson laughed.

Under the arrangement of Captain Stevenson, the selected strong sailors and crew lined up at the gangway, and some even showed their sabers and scars around their waists.

This gave the guests who boarded the ship a lot of sense of security, and no longer feared the next half-month journey.

Ryan stood below, looked back at the busy port, exhaled invisibly, and stepped onto the hanging ladder.

This is the last stop on his way to Tinlenburg. After crossing this huge inland sea, he will arrive at the church where he will go to work, where he will build a cathedral of his own.

As soon as he stepped on the deck and before he could enter the cabin, Ryan saw a familiar figure from the back of the crowd out of the corner of his eye.

"Mr. Sears?" Ryan was taken aback. When drinking last night, Sears also said that he would never set foot on this ocean again. Why did we meet on the boat today?
Ryan thought about it, but didn't take the initiative to say hello. Sears didn't say he was going to board the ship last night, which meant that he didn't want people to know about it. We met by chance, and Ryan didn't bother to meddle in other people's business.

However, judging from yesterday's reaction, it should be true that Sears is afraid of water. After all, the ship sank before, and it is normal for a narrow escape to leave a shadow in his heart.

Ryan shook his head to get his thoughts out of his mind, took a cane, entered the cabin, and found his own room according to the ticket.

With a "squeak", he pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

The first-class room is very spacious. To be precise, it is a suite. There are three houses in the house. The decoration is very luxurious and exquisite. There are many delicate wooden decorations on the walls, and even inlaid oil paintings and many decorations. , looks very elegant.

To the right of the door, the master bedroom and the living room each have a large window that lets in the harbor sunlight, creating shapes of light around the table and bedside.

However, the biggest advantage is that the first-class cabin has its own toilet and shower room. The second-class cabin and third-class cabin do not have this treatment. The bathroom and bathroom need to be shared. The difference is that eight people share a room in the third-class cabin. , while the second-class cabin is shared by three people.

Apart from the master bedroom, the remaining two rooms are smaller and seem to be rooms for servants.

After half an hour.

The huge sails were raised, bringing gusts of wind, and the Prince Lawrence left the port of Tello and began to sail south.

Ryan watched the sea view outside the window for a while, then gradually withdrew his thoughts, and began to think about the most important thing next, which was how to "start work".

Judging from the written records, Tynlenburg is an area with relatively strong folk customs, and it is very chaotic. Although the population is large, the overall situation is extremely poor. The state should be similar to that of the slums in Leyton, or even worse. Some, this has led to the rampant gangsters of Timlenburg, and many shady businesses are very hot here.

Coupled with the special geographical location of Tynlenburg, bordering on the mysterious area to the south, and endless wilderness to the east, with intricate forces, Gwen's control here is slightly better than that of the grassland, but it is basically laissez-faire. self-flowing state.

It's not that Gervin doesn't want to take care of it, it's just that he can't.

Although Tynlenburg is administratively managed by South County, it is too far away from Layton. It is separated by the Wild West, the prairie, and a huge inland sea. In addition, there are no special mineral veins here. The cost paid clearly outweighs the benefit.

For many reasons, Gervin chose to let it go, but this is exactly what Ryan wanted.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Only in Timlenburg can he obtain the greatest autonomy. It is impossible for the sacred light in Layton to send a new bishop here. This means that the management of the entire diocese of Timlenburg All in his hands.

In a sense, his status in Timlenburg is similar to that of His Excellency Chrisman in Holy Radiance.

Sitting at the desk by the window, Ryan took out the documents related to Tynlenburg from the sheepskin bag and began to read them.

"Church of Tranquility, Church of Greenery Well, why is there still a Church of Harvest?" Ryan was taken aback, why the names of these churches in Tylenburg are so strange.

The name of the Greenery Church reminded Ryan of the Greenery Town he had just passed through.

"It seems that if I want to rebuild and add to the original foundation of the local church, it will not be an easy task."

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help pinching his eyebrows with a headache.

Holding the management rights of all churches in the entire area sounds like a good thing, but power and obligation are equal. Ryan has no relevant experience in this kind of management, and he has already foreseen many troubles that he may encounter next .

For example, the local churches may not welcome his arrival, especially those "bishops" who have been operating in Tynenberg for a long time and have a certain social status.

"I would have paid more attention to the news and current events before I knew it." He sighed, took out his pocket watch, and pressed it to check the time.

Seeing that dinner was still early and the room was too quiet, Ryan decided to go for a walk on the deck, enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the scenery; this was the first time he saw the ocean after he came to this world.

After the first hour of hustle and bustle, there were not many people on the deck. Ryan walked along the side of the ship. Except that the wind was relatively strong and he had to be careful with his hat, he had no shortcomings. He took off the top hat on his head and Leaning on the guardrail, leisurely admiring the calm sea.

Suddenly, he saw Sears alone in the corner at the end of the deck, staring at the distant sea, as if looking for something.

Ryan followed Sears' gaze. With his eyesight, in such a clear weather and calm sea, he could see at least ten kilometers away at a glance, but he didn't see anything.

Staring for a moment, Ryan shook his head to look back, and cast his gaze out of the ship's side.

wow~~
The sound of water splashing against the cabin seems to be the only sound left in the world. The sea at night is both noisy and silent.

Ryan looked out of the window, except for the darkness, it was still darkness, as if the whole world was left with the room he was in now, no matter it was the previous life or the present, the ocean in the dark night was equally terrifying.

When he walked into the bedroom and was about to change into pajamas and rest, suddenly—
"Boom~~"

The cabin began to shake, and the water glass on the table was shaken and began to roll. Ryan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed the water glass in mid-air, avoiding the end of glass shards shattering all over the floor.

Vaguely, he heard the sound of something breaking in the cabin next door. Obviously, some unlucky people had already suffered.

"I encountered a tsunami on the first day out at sea?" Ryan couldn't believe it, but it was pitch black outside the window and he couldn't see anything. He could only quickly put on his coat, open the hatch and walk out.
