After that day, time seemed to fly extremely fast.
"Mr. Ed, your boots."
Fang Plover watched Pasha polish his boots until they were shiny with his thin, dark hands, and then handed them over respectfully. He raised his head and looked at the other party's clear black and white eyes with a hint of expectation. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "It's very beautiful, but there is no need to do this. I said, Pasha, you have to stay I’ll stay here, but we don’t want to do this here.”
"But Miss Sylvide told me that you are the captain of the group. You are also the captain of this 'ship'. The captain should be dignified. You must have a waiter or servant to call you, right? Ai Mr. De, you don’t have to worry, I’m not reluctant at all, everyone treats me very well when I stay here, except for my mother, no one else treats me so well, I’m very satisfied.”
"This is not a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction," Fang Plover couldn't help but hold his forehead. Sylvester was good at everything, but her ideas always carried some inherent views of this world. She also often told him that he should be more dignified in front of everyone, especially after he has a sailor in the future. But the noble daughter is particularly stubborn in this regard——
"There are some things. Don't just listen to Miss Sylvide. There are some problems with her ideas..."
"But everyone says she is the mistress."
"Master, master what?" Fang Yu blushed and asked stammering.
"That's the mistress, my lord," Pasha replied weakly, "your wife."
"What, why, everyone knows...?"
Pasha shook his head: "No, Miss Alyssa told me."
Fang Plover slapped his forehead.
What Alyssa said, doesn’t that mean everyone knows it? Is there anyone in this group who likes to spy on gossip and share it with others more than Alyssa? This may be the nature of Nightingale's profession, because it naturally includes Parker, who is born with a big mouth.
Of course, the lethality of that Papalar man is much smaller than this one.
He had been deceived enough by this smiling lady earlier, and he had always thought that she was sincere and willing to listen——
But when he thought about his experience in Fenris, Fang Yu felt that he was the most stupid person in the world. Wasn't he almost fooled by these two sisters at that time? He only hated himself for not discovering this sooner.
By the time I found out, it was already too late to regret——
"Those are two different things," Fang Pulong said, "First of all, I'm not married to Miss Sylvide. Secondly, I'm not your master... God, what are you thinking in your head?" thing?"
"Pasha is a slave, isn't it normal for him to think this way?"
A voice came from behind him.
Fang Plover looked back and discovered that it was the little princess with pigtails, the daughter of the Istanian King of the Sand. Seeing the latter, he couldn't help but sigh - there was another problem child, and he would rather deal with Pasha than this little princess.
This princess of the sand perfectly explains what tit-for-tat means - she and Tianlan are simply two small powder barrels, the kind that can be lit at the drop of a hat. Fang Yu glanced at the other party and then sighed: "Didn't you go after the lover you liked?"
"Luo Yu, he ignored me," Afifa fiddled with her pigtails angrily: "Huh, no, isn't it the one that's bigger and has fairer skin? It's really annoying. You're earlier than me because of yourself. After getting to know Mr. Luo Yu and calling him here and there, Mr. Luo Yu will one day get tired of this jealous woman."
Here it comes, here it comes again.
Fang Plover looked at the undulating sea of sand outside the platform in deep silence.
Ever since the little princess temporarily boarded the ship, Mr. Huiyan has been carrying this platform on his back for a day. The jealousy between him and Tianlan can almost fill the entire silver sand sea. In fact, the big cat man once joked that he could smell the sour smell of two little girls' jealousy in Tansnir. He didn't say it, but he believed it in his heart.
Tansnir is the port city of Istania, not too far from here.
Moreover, this Princess Afifa has inherited the boldness, enthusiasm, and straightforwardness of the desert woman. In Fang Yu's opinion, if Luo Yu hadn't focused all his attention on Tian Lan, Tian Lan would not be as sharp as she is. The rival of the sharp-tongued Princess.
Fortunately, it seems that with Luo Yu's current state, it is probably still quite far away for the opponent to win this long game.
As a captain, of course he would not let such a thing happen.
After all, Tian Lan is also a member of his team, so of course he won't turn his elbows outward. Fang Yu had made up his mind early on. When he arrived at Tansnier, he would ask the princess, who couldn't calm down, to get off the boat as soon as possible. Anyway, the other party seemed to be reaching the limit of staying on the boat.
There is no need to complain to him all day about the poor accommodation conditions on the ship, the bad food, and all the princess problems.
However, Afifah was not aware of his unpopularity at all. She was taking a step forward, lying on the side of the ship and looking at the undulating desert scenery outside. Of course, Mr. Gray Rock did not go deep into the Silver Sand Desert, and now there are not many unthinking travelers who would do that.
The Seven Seas Brigade was actually traveling eastward along the Dwarf Rose Mountains, passing diagonally across the edge of the desert in a direction where the coast of Harinakonghai could be seen. This is actually an ancient trade route, which was the trade route Bunigu and his companions took back then.
But even so, this road is not easy to walk, in fact. There has been no easy path through Istania since before the creation of the aerostat.
It is also the isolation of the desert that creates the customs and customs of Istania that are very different from those of the northern continent.
Only then did Fang Yu remember what Afifah had said before, looked at the other party and asked: "You said Pasha was a slave, so what's the matter? Are there still slaves in Kaolin-Ishulian?"
He couldn't help but frown. The "Stargate Declaration" was not only an agreement for the chosen ones, but also an understanding and compromise reached between the two worlds on both sides of the Stargate and the various countries. In fact, in the era before the "Stargate Declaration", serfdom did exist in some places in Corin-Ithurion, but after that, it was basically completely banned.
Of course, this situation is only limited to Kaolin. In Lotao and Oshu, the situation is different. After all, the signatory countries of the "Stargate Declaration" are mostly bilateral agreements with the countries corresponding to a competition region. At the same time, if Kaolin-Ithulian himself had such a wish, such an agreement would not be reached.
This is a strange world in itself. On the one hand, there is a highly developed alchemical civilization, but on the other hand, it has not completely emerged from the backward system in all aspects. However, since the past half century, the countries of Aitaria have undergone earth-shaking changes, and they can no longer be compared to a hundred years ago.
Just like the question he is asking now.
If slavery still exists in Corin-Ithurion, including Istania, then someone must have trampled on the Stargate Declaration.
But Afifah didn’t pay much attention to this question and replied casually: “I understand what you mean. The slavery system you mentioned has naturally disappeared long ago. After all, my father will not disobey the alliance on the surface. mean."
"What do you mean?" Fang Yu frowned and asked, "Your father still condones the existence of this system in private?"
"You are such a nasty person to talk to." Afifah turned around, flicked her braid, and glared at him fiercely with her amber eyes: "Who is my father? Of course he would not do such a thing. But Pasha is the lowest class person in Istania, and this fact cannot be changed by my father alone."
She gave Pasha a very contemptuous look and waved her hand.
Pasha lowered his head and stepped aside timidly. Over the past few days, he has already known the identity of this girl, the daughter of Babartan, the King of Sand. In his opinion, she is almost a person in the sky. It is an honor for him to have such a person on the Captain's ship -
Fang Yu frowned, and with anger in his heart, Dadi grabbed the other person's hand and asked: "Who do you think is an inferior person?"
"What are you doing?" Afifah was startled and struggled hard to break away from his hand. Her two servants glanced at him from a distance, but they hesitated, probably because of Captain Fang's identity. Didn't come over at once. After the braided little princess withdrew her hand, she almost frowned:
"What are you doing? I didn't tell you anything."
"You say no one can do it. This is basic courtesy." Fang Yu replied seriously.
"But I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."
Fang Yu took a breath, probably feeling that it was not worth being angry with a little girl when he was fine. He only replied: "It's up to you elsewhere, but not on my ship."
"Here, my word is law."
Afifah pursed her lips and was speechless by his words. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Of course she understands this. At least on this 'ship', if the other party orders her to get off the ship, no matter she is the daughter of the King of Sand or the illegitimate daughter of some god, she must get off the ship obediently. Although as a desert citizen, she was not unable to get out of the desert, the humiliation was even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Her chest rose and fell, and finally she said angrily: "You, why are you angry at me? I don't have slaves. You have the ability to deal with those smugglers and cultists! My father and I have also been fighting these people."
"You don't understand anything. Do you think everyone is equal in your place? As Mr. Tang De said. The hierarchy on the surface is gone, but the hierarchy in people's hearts is getting stricter. Those tricks of your Grand Guild, and What’s the difference between us?”
Fang Yu looked into the little girl's eyes and replied word for word: "I have been dealing with them."
Afifah opened her mouth.
She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this seemed to be the case.
But she was still unwilling to do so. She only clenched her fists before angrily walking out of the cabin.
"It's simply unreasonable." Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the little princess leave.
Just like between him and Sylvide, he felt that it was difficult to explain these things clearly to the other party - of course, compared to this unruly princess, the noble daughter was simply a considerate angel. . Although Sylvide has more or less deep-rooted perceptions, at least she is willing to accept some changes.
And Fang Yu knew that his ship officer had always understood his wishes.
What he actually cares about is not rank, but respect. At least on his ship, Pasha was just an ordinary member of the group. Likewise, Sylvide will never put on airs with anyone on the ship, nor will she use the same methods she used to deal with the sailors when she was on Princess Brianne's ship.
Because his team members should never bear the humiliation from anyone for no reason.
Fang Yu then turned around, looked at Pasha who was standing aside and dared not say a word, and said, "Pasha, are you okay?"
Pasha shook his head gently: "Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess was right..."
After hearing this, Fang Yu felt his eyes darken.
"This is not a question of right or wrong," he sighed longly: "Pasha, I don't care what your previous experiences are or what kind of person you are. But on my ship, you are the same person as us. There is no difference, no one is lower than anyone else.”
He couldn't help but look at his boots: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
Pasha looked at him and asked, "Is this also a 'law'?"
Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
He replied a little exhausted: "Just think of it as a law."
"But, I can't do anything else. I can't just eat for free, right?" Pasha said a little worriedly: "If I can't do this, does Mr. Ed mean to kick me off the ship?"
"Wait a minute, how did you hear this?"
"But--"
"No but, Pasha, do you want to be a bootmaker? We don't want bootmakers on board," Fang Plover replied angrily: "If you have nothing to do, go and learn from others. Big Cat Man, Luo Yu and the others are willing to teach you, if you are interested in alchemy, you can come to me."
"Can I also learn alchemy?" Pasha's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ed?"
"Of course, why not," Fang Plover replied seriously: "Alchemists do not distinguish between men and women, high or low, or where you come from. In front of the ether, no matter you are a king or a beggar, everyone is equal. "
"Remember this passage," he replied politely: "Anyone who studies alchemy will first understand this passage. It has been handed down from the time of the Numei elves. Do you know why today's Kaolin-Ishuli Didn’t Ann have slaves, because the alchemists didn’t believe that?”
Pasha listened silently and nodded vigorously.
He suddenly looked back at the patio, then turned back and whispered: "I'm going to help Miss Attila, Mr. Ed."
"Go ahead."
Fang Yu looked at the other party's thin back and couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a moment.
He kept the other party, partly because Pasha had nowhere to go. When Bunigou and the young scholar left, he took the girl with the broken arm and promised to take good care of each other. Out of gratitude, the two actually offered to take Pasha away to take care of him.
Although Bunigu is not yet rich, as a businessman, he at least has some continuance, which is more than enough to bear the custody of a little boy. And I believe that after what happened this time, the other party should not dare to play any tricks on them.
It's just that Pasha doesn't want to live or die and must stay on the ship. Probably because he saw himself in the other person, Fang Pultru finally felt compassion and kept the little boy.
And he understood that he was actually much luckier than Pasha. Because at least he still has his uncle's family, but Pasha has nothing.
He didn't know how much Pasha had listened to his words——
But as he said, he doesn't need an unreasonable servant on the ship. What he needs is teammates, everyone who can be responsible for each other and deliver the goods. Fortunately, the other party seemed to still have some interest in alchemy, and Fang Pliong could only hope that knowledge could indeed change a person.
But he saw that Pasha walked back half way, then turned back hesitantly, and whispered to him a little uneasily: "Captain, when you said those words to Princess Afifah before, you were really impressive. "
Fang Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"The mistress said that if you get used to ordering servants, you will naturally be more imposing towards others. I, I think, the mistress seems to have a point, Sir Captain? Sir Captain?"
"roll!"
Fang Yu slapped this guy on the head angrily.
At that moment, he suddenly had some feelings about Miss Scarpet.
…
For lunch, Miss Elf rummaged through a pile of dry food to get some food that was still edible for everyone. But it can be imagined that it has been almost a week and a half since entering the desert, and coupled with the previous experience in Idos, the fresh food on the platform has long been exhausted.
At the moment, they actually don't even have access to clean drinking water, and the only fresh thing they see is a bucket of shriveled lemons left in the bottom cabin. But according to Tianlan, they would have to run out of water in two days at most.
Fortunately, the nearest oasis is not far away.
Needless to say, a certain princess had a bitter look on her face, but she still maintained her little bit of civility in front of Luo Yu, and was too embarrassed to spit out the dry pancake pieces one by one in front of Luo Yu. Tian Lan looked at the other party with sideways eyes, stuffing things into his cheeks as if he was deliberately angry.
He also acted like he was chewing a lot, as if he was eating something delicious.
It's just that things turn out to be the opposite, and this little girl finally choked herself. Her face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, looking like she was going to lose her temper. Aitila looked aside, then couldn't help but shook her head and patted her back gently. Only then did Tianlan let out a loud cry and vomited the thing in her throat all over the deck.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Fang Yu always feels that Miss Attila has become a lot gentler recently. If Tian Lan had wasted food like this before, he would have been given a hard lesson.
On the other hand, Luo Hao looked at this scene with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked the fat man a little curiously.
"I will be on duty in the afternoon."
Luo Hao was about to cry: "It's my turn to wipe the deck."
Alyssa immediately bent over with laughter.
But in the afternoon, Miss Nightingale could no longer laugh.
Because Fang Yu suddenly received a message. The message naturally came from Stargate Port. To be precise, it came from a certain Silver Vislan princess. Needless to say, it was Sophie - I don't know where Su Changfeng came up with this idea, but he suddenly had the idea to let his daughter act as his liaison with the military.
It's a beautiful name, trying not to arouse suspicion from outsiders. Because he was already familiar with Sophie, this was news that had already spread in Vanrich.
However, the other party's little thoughts cannot escape Sophie's eyes.
She was happy to have a free shield.
However, Fang Yu understood that this contact should not be a private matter for Her Royal Highness, because when the email was sent, it also came with an official letter from Stargate Port. He roughly understood what happened. He had already reported everything that happened to Idos a week ago.
This should be after the Stargate Port verified the situation and came to him to understand the follow-up situation.
Therefore, this meeting was actually a meeting between the military and him. So naturally he had to bring Luo Hao, the military's so-called 'liaison' in their team.
As soon as Luo Hao left, the person on duty would move back one round——
So it was our lovely Miss Nightingale's turn.
