Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 187 Steak!

After completing the basic introduction, Greif went to work first. He had just set sail and was preparing to leave the port. He, the captain, was one of the busiest people.

Ye He brought Floy and Wino into the room that Grave gave him. The space of this room was not too small, with a bedroom, a living room, and even a small independent bathroom.

Wei Nuo also adjusted her mood now, so she didn't need to worry about Ye He.

She walked towards the porthole of the living room, looking with interest at the port that was slowly receding away.

Go on an adventure at sea!

This is something that no young person can refuse, and Wei Nuo is no exception. When Ye He mentioned this to her during breakfast in the morning, she agreed without thinking.

Quinn thought Ye He would also take her with him, but after breakfast, Ye He directly called Tiffany and handed the [Blood Shepherd] to Tiffany for "training" and asked her to follow Tiffany Ni started.

Gavaria and Isildar are located on the east and west sides of the empire respectively. Even if Quinn's "mentor" has gone to the Federation, it will be difficult to find the whereabouts of Quinn.

However, there is a high probability that her mentor will be fine. Before the [blood herders] reveal their relationship with the blood disciples they shepherd, to outsiders they look like ordinary monster users.

Pulling Floy into his arms, Ye He asked her curiously:

"Why not?"

Ye He pinched Wei Nuo's cheek with his free left hand and explained to her:

As soon as Ye He sat down on the chair in the living room, Floy sat beside the armrest of his chair and said to Ye He:

She stretched out her hand and put it in the air, and blood gushed out from between her bright red nails, floating in the air, and then drew a horizontal line for Ye He and Wei Nuo.

After indicating the approximate location of the Eshan Islands, Floy moved all the blood to the left and mapped out the southeastern coastline of the mainland.

Pointing to these blood spots, Floy said to Wino: "These are islands on the sea. Pirates occupy these locations. The sea here is relatively calm and very suitable for navigation. In order to avoid natural disasters, merchants have to go here." area.

The pirates have a calm and peaceful place to stay, and there are a large number of merchant ships passing nearby. How can they be inactive?

Now, do you still think it's safest to go straight there? "

Ye He did not answer Floyd's question, while Wino nodded to Floyd.

"If it were just an 'accident', it would not be enough to make merchants give up the huge profits brought by the ship trade."

"Well, then, we will start from Gavaria and sail along some ordinary routes near the mainland to get here."

The horizontal line moved a little, and at the lower right corner with some distance below it, Floy used blood to draw some blood spots of different sizes and distances.

"You may not understand how scary the sea is," Floy took the initiative to put Ye He's hand into his clothes, then stroked Ye He's cheek and explained to him:

"A long time ago, I did business with some sailing merchants. Do you know why I didn't do this business again?

Floy glanced at Wino with a gentle look. Although the two had only met a few times, they had a very good attitude towards each other because of Ye He's relationship.

"With only five ships, only three of which are capable of combat, can we really reach the Aishan Islands safely?"

"If we go directly to the Aishan Islands, do you think we can just drive straight there?"

This has nothing to do with Ye He. After all, what does it have to do with Yekaterina who sent them to Lexington?

"I have a question."

"For example, this is the southern coastline of the entire continent."

The Gulf Stream, storms, sea monsters, and unknown areas are understandable to Wino, but the noble lady who grew up in this inland area has never heard of the word "pirate":

She asked Floy this somewhat innocent question, and Floy couldn't help but look at each other and Ye He smiled.

This is not because Wei Nuo is jealous of Floy, but she just wants to get close to Ye He.

Floy waved his hand again, expanding the two areas on the blood map where pirates were present, and then splashed many blood spots of different sizes on them.

She pointed to these six areas and explained to her companions in turn:

“Starting from leaving the mainland, there are six sea areas: the Gulf Stream Area, the Pirate Area, the Pirates and Sea Beast Area, the Sea Beast Area, the Lost Gulf Stream and Storm Area, and the Unknown Area.

Floy waved his hand, and the map made of blood expanded, leaving only the southeastern corner of the mainland, five small blood spots representing the fleet, and a blood spot representing the Eshan Islands.

"What is a pirate?"

"Pirates are robbers on the sea. They are a group of robbers who make a living by robbing and plundering merchant ships."

"Did they encounter an accident? Are they so dangerous?"

"Oh, I understand." Wino nodded to express her understanding, but another question emerged in her mind, and she asked it bluntly:

"Why doesn't the Imperial Navy destroy these pirates?"

"This is the Aishan Islands."

It was Wino who asked Floy this question. She came closer, sat on the other side of Ye He, and held Ye He's head in her arms affectionately.

From the southeastern corner of the mainland to the Eshan Islands, Floy drew five horizontal lines in one breath, dividing the gap between the two into six areas.

Are there any mountains blocking the way on the sea? Shouldn't we just go straight across?

She meant it, but Floy smiled at her and shook his head.

"Ah? Is there anyone else doing such a thing on such a dangerous sea?"

Every sea area has the ability to make our entire fleet "disappear".

Wino opened her mouth in surprise. She knew that the sea was beautiful, mysterious, and full of opportunities. She also knew that the sea was dangerous, but she never thought that the sea would be so dangerous.

If her mentor was willing to give up the [Lightless One] he was herding and let him be killed by the church in Lexington.

Because they disappeared into the sea one after another, even if one or two businessmen were lucky enough to escape to the shore, they decided to give up the sailing business. "

Ninety percent of the businessmen who ended our partnership with me died here due to pirate plunder, or the "passage tax" charged by the pirates became increasingly heavy, which made them unable to make ends meet and finally gave up on this business. . "

From the large blood dot symbolizing Gavaria, Floy separated five small blood dots to represent their current fleet, and then moved the fleet to a position close to the southeastern corner of the continent.

A large blood spot a little higher on the southeastern coastline spread and shrank, and Floy reminded: "This is Gavaria."

This question once again made Floy and Ye He look at each other and smile. Floy pointed to the area below the pirates and asked Wino:

"Guess why this sea area is called the Pirates and Sea Beasts Area?"

"When the navy comes, the pirates can hide in areas where sea beasts are infested. It is difficult to replenish living supplies and food at sea. The pirates have many ways to consume the navy and then come back to continue their tyranny."

Seeing Wei Nuo's confused look, Ye He kindly answered the question for this simple noble girl. By the way, he asked Floy in his arms:

"The question you wanted to ask at the beginning is actually that our fleet is not powerful enough to scare away the pirates, and it is possible that we will be besieged by them, right?"

"Well, I don't know how many pirates there are or how many ships they have.

But I have heard of an incident where a fleet of hundreds of merchant ships escorted by ten naval ships was plundered by pirates, let alone our mere three ships. "

Floy added: "Pirates are a problem, leviathans are a problem.

Even if we protect the fleet, when we reach storm zones and unknown areas and face excessively terrible natural disasters, you and I may not be able to protect ourselves. "

"Yeah, indeed."

Ye He confirmed that Floy's worries were not unfounded, but the expression on his face was still relaxed:

"Guess then, have Katerina and Ekaterina considered this issue?"

Floy blinked and suddenly understood the reason why Ye He was not worried about these problems.

"We are thugs hired by the empire," Ye He touched Wei Nuo's little face and explained to the girl who was frightened by Floy and started to worry:

"The empire is the one who wants to gain direct benefits from the ruins on the Aishan Islands through this trip to the sea. No matter how big the problem is, they should consider it first.

If the fleet cannot get close to the Eshan Islands, or if something happens and disappears midway, the empire will be the one who suffers the most losses, so they will escort us.

Also, if the empire thinks that we can't even get close to the Eshan Islands, how can they still let us go to sea? "

The issues raised by Floy were pushed to the empire for consideration by Ye Hetong.

After understanding Ye He's meaning, Wei Nuo quickly relaxed and felt Ye He's concern for her. She couldn't help but kiss Ye He's forehead with love. Floy also relaxed. When she asked the question just now, she forgot that the three of them were not the "owners" of this voyage, and she was a little too worried.

"Tuk-tuk."

Someone knocked on the door of the room where everyone was sitting.

The lovers immediately let go of Ye He sensibly, allowing Ye He to get up and walk towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a familiar young man appeared in front of Ye He, it was the somewhat confused Krent.

Seeing that Ye He was really on the boat, Krent immediately cheered up and shouted to Ye He happily: "Captain!"

Then he asked Ye He very doubtfully: "Where are we going? You asked me to come to Gavaria, Her Highness Caterina asked me to get on the ship, and Captain Greif only asked me to come to you... But, why?”

Ye He was very busy before leaving. It was good to be able to take time to inform Krent. How could he have time to explain the target of the operation to Krent.

Only now did he smile at Krent and said: "We are going to the Eshan Islands. Didn't you go to Yanan once? Don't you want to go back and see it again?"

Krent was stunned for a moment. Some "good experiences" that affected his mood immediately appeared in Krent's heart, making his expression suddenly become tangled and subtle.

But to be fair, Krent felt that he should go back. There were many living people in Yanan, and they were all worthy of Krent's rescue.

"Hey...it seems like your experience is quite exciting. Let me find you something to do."

As soon as Ye He saw Krent's expression, he knew that the young man was conflicted, but he did not resist the trip.

"what's up?"

Based on his familiarity with this captain, Krent suddenly shuddered.

The last time Ye He showed such a smile to himself, he found Corinna, a "good teacher" for him!

"Relax, it won't be a problem for you now, it just gives you something to do to distract you."

After reaching out and patting Krent on the shoulder, Ye He happened to see Grave's figure appearing at the end of the cabin, so he waved and shouted, calling Grave over.

"Sir, do you have any orders?"

Grave, who had just finished working for a while, was about to take a rest, but if Ye He came to see him, he would not dare to give Ye He any look.

"This is a member of my church's patrol team, Krent." Ye He introduced Krent's identity to Grave. Grave glanced at Krent, nodded to Ye He and said:

"I know, does Mr. Crent need anything?"

"Well, let's be honest. The young man needs to find something to do. From now on, he will be your sailor!"

"Huh?" Krent opened his mouth in surprise.

Ye He ignored him and continued to say to Grave who was also surprised:

"This kid has very good physical fitness. You don't have to be polite to me. You can do whatever you want with him. He can do any hard or tiring job!"

"Oh well?"

Grave glanced at Krent uncertainly, and Ye He patted Krent on the shoulder again and said to him:

"Do a good job, and remember to call Mr. Greif the captain from now on. Do you understand?"

"Yes Yes?"

After saying that, Ye He left Krent and Grave behind and went back to the room.

The two stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, Grave opened his mouth and shouted to Krent:

"Crent!"

"Yes!" Krent was startled by Grave's loud voice. He subconsciously stood up straight and shouted back.

This is the effect of Krent's military training by Corinna.

His performance also made Greve's eyes light up. It seemed that this young man had had similar "experience".

Grave has already figured out what Ye He means, which is to let him "train" Krent. This is simple. As one of the most "experienced" generals in the Imperial Navy, he has led less than 10,000 naval recruits. Eight thousand.

"follow me!"

"Yes!"

The two left the cabin and came to the front deck. Greif first introduced Krent to the crew on the deck, and then, as Ye He said, he aroused Krent to his heart's content.

Krent also understood what Ye He meant at work. Since his mood would be entangled due to his destination, finding something to do would really help him relieve stress.

After discovering that Krent looked like an ordinary person, but had a strong physique and strength, Grave also made Krent more happy.

The crew also welcomes the addition of Crent, a "strong" and hard-working young man, who will make their work much easier.

The slight "turmoil" when they first went to sea gradually calmed down, but only Ye He and Grave knew that the real "storm" had not yet come.

Everyone should gratefully accept and enjoy this peaceful time until the fleet arrives at the southeastern corner of the continent along a safe channel.

Because after this, what awaits the fleet is not only the challenges from the six sea areas divided by Floy. Don’t forget, the Federation already knows about the Eshan Islands, and the federal navy may attack these six sea areas at any time. appeared and delivered the most fatal blow to the empire's fleet.

However, before the fleet actually entered the six sea areas, life was still very peaceful and relaxing.

In the first two days, Wei Nuo was still very interested in sailing, but her interest was almost exhausted after the unchanging sea surface and two sunrises and moonsets.

This is also a common problem among young people. After all, Wei Nuo still has Ye He, his eloquent lover, with him. On Krent's side, if Ye He doesn't give him something to do as a crew member, he will definitely die of boredom.

The time came on October 10th, the third day of going to sea.

Wei Nuo fiddled with the fried fish pieces in the bowl with little interest. She recalled how much she praised the fried fish during her first lunch. Looking at the way she couldn't eat the fish now, she just thought I feel ridiculous.

Ye He, who was at the same table, had already finished his portion of fried fish. Seeing that Wei Nuo was finally losing his appetite, he smiled, reached out to take Wei Nuo's bowl, and poured the fish meat into his own bowl. .

"Uh... I, I can eat it, it just takes some time..."

Wei Nuo was very embarrassed and looked at Ye He with a blushing face. She actually knew that she shouldn't waste food. It was difficult to replenish the supplies at sea, and she had to eat one portion less.

"hey-hey."

Ye He chuckled at her, that was enough. How could he embarrass his lover?

Silver ripples spread out under Ye He's palm in front of Wei Nuo, suddenly! A piece of steak that was still steaming, as if it had just been fried, fell out of the silver ripples and landed on Wino's plate.

"this!"

Wei Nuo was startled by the fragrant steak and looked at Ye He in surprise.

"Shh..."

Ye He made a silent gesture to Wei Nuo, signaling her not to expose the news that he had brought extra food. Then he took out a bottle of salt and pepper and a bottle of black pepper from the silver ripples and placed them in front of Wei Nuo. , signaling Wei Nuo to add spices herself.

Ever since he knew he was going to sea, Ye He had been stocking up on ingredients and fresh water to be prepared, even including such dishes that had already been cooked.

Ordinary ingredients and fresh water were stored in the self-disciplined boy's storage space. Dishes like this steak that looked like they were still being cooked were Ye He's latest discovery.

Dishes thrown directly into the silver ripples will disappear into the void, but if the self-discipline boy keeps holding these dishes, they will not disappear.

These dishes, which are directly exposed inside the silver ripples and are not put into the space of the self-disciplined boy, will have this kind of "time-stopped" storage effect.

Wino happily sprinkled the black pepper on it, raised her knife and fork and ate happily. She quickly ate the steak cleanly. She would never have been able to eat a whole piece of steak before.

No matter how much Ye He's stock is, it is limited. Even if it is all provided for Wei Nuo to enjoy alone, it may not be able to support this irregular trip, so Ye He had to let Wei Nuo eat fried fish and vegetable salad for two days. , get used to the meals on board in advance.
