Selu took care of almost all the groceries on the flying ship.
Mopping the three decks plus the lower cargo hold, kitchen helper, lookout, and even machinist Connie's assistant.
The reason why she worked so hard was because she liked life on the flying ship too much. Schliemann's initial threat to return became a punishment she could not bear.
Gradually, people began to like this girl who was always busy. All the places she cleaned were neat and orderly, and even smelled good.
As for her dark hands, people no longer feel strange after looking at them for a long time. Instead, they feel that they are like black silk gloves that she wears all the time, giving people a different kind of interest.
Vivian's cabin was too small, and Upton made sacrifices in order to have room for the lady.
He moved to Vivian's room, which was the original first mate's cabin, and his original cabin was large enough to accommodate two hammocks, so it became the room shared by Vivian and Selu.
This is the only place on the ship that men are not allowed to enter. It has a faint fragrance. The crew members will pass by it for various reasons, slow down and take a deep breath when passing by.
There are two more positions for bird deterrents on the front and rear decks. They hold slingshots and whistle sticks. When birds approach them, they will wave the whistle sticks. If the birds do not move away, they will shoot projectiles.
In fact, they were happy to kill a few birds, because the fresh meat on the ship had been eaten long ago, and the food that could not be stored for long was the first batch to be killed.
Sometimes the Crescent will encounter flocks of pheasants, which are large social birds with a wide wingspan. Schliemann still has not figured out where they started from and where they are going.
At this time, the crew will rush to the four steel spear launchers to add some fresh options to the boring menu.
Twelve days later, even the perfume made by Selu could not cover up the sour smell flowing in the cabin.
Because the Crescent had not encountered rain clouds for a long time, Schliemann stopped the supply of clean water, but of course he did not stop the two ladies.
Stink and tolerance for the rigors of sailing are a man's treatment, not a lady's.
On the seventeenth day of the voyage, Schliemann, who was staying on the bridge, heard Selu's vague voice in the microphone.
"What is that over there..."
Hillpeter quickly asked for directions through the microphone. Selu hesitated, not quite used to the orientation knowledge that Hillpeter taught her.
"The right hand side of the bow... ah, two o'clock direction?"
Schliemann walked out of the bridge and opened the telescope in that direction. The scenery he saw was a bit strange.
The blue sea that should have been green is yellow, and the sky that should be blue is also yellow. There is indeed something where they intersect. It looks gray, like a withered rock that has been weathered for many years and is about to collapse. .
"Is it an island? Let's go get some water?"
Schliemann did not answer Ampton, but directly handed the telescope to him.
"Then... it should be an empty island..."
Schliemann laughed twice and shouted at Hilpeter in the bridge.
"Hey! Do you remember that time on Ryderming Island?"
"Remember! There is not a blade of grass on the entire empty island!"
"I think this empty island may be in the same situation as that one!"
Ampton looked shocked: "No grass? Is there anyone on the island?"
"Yes, I have?"
"What do they eat?"
"Eat the birds that pass by to rest."
"How much do you have to eat?"
"There are only a few hundred people on the island, and they can't eat much even if they die. There is a perennial air current passing by there, which is the only way for the birds to pass through. The number of birds covers the sky and the sun, and there are layers of layers on the entire island. A foot-thick shell of guano.”
Ampton could not imagine the spectacle and quickly changed the subject.
"Should we go to the island and have a look?"
"Let's see, the visual distance is only four or five hours, Hilpeter!"
Hilpeter stomped on the floor, calling everyone's attention, and shouted: "Right turn, fifty-seven degrees!"
After determining the direction of the sky island, Selu no longer needed to stay in the watchtower. She was asked to rest quickly.
She couldn't sleep when she returned to the room.
One reason is because she discovered a new sky island and was about to set foot on that strange land to explore the excitement;
The second reason was that she was anxious because the crow that had promised to come to her hadn't shown up yet.
"Be patient...patience, Selu...it is God, how could God forget what he promised!
As long as I wait patiently on Schliemann's ship, it will notify me if there is a mission... So, the island in front of it shouldn't be the mission location, right? "
She rolled over and over, the hammock swaying. Vivian beside her was not sleepy at all, so she simply got up to organize her equipment.
Sailu never knew that Vivian was a practicing practitioner, even though the two had a fight at the beginning.
The long dagger was tied to her right leg, and the short dagger was inserted into the leather holster at her waist. In Selu's opinion, Vivian looked very cool, but if two people were to compete in the wild starting from searching for enemies, she would have full potential. Be sure to kill Vivian.
Selu wasn't going to sleep either, she had to get ready.
There were a lot of carving knives that no one wanted in the utility room. Selu found a few fairly good ones, sharpened them a bit, found a piece of broken leather, stuck them on, rolled them up and put them in her satchel.
Compared with Vivian's dagger with beautiful patterns, these meat-cutting knives have neither beauty nor oppression.
Selu pouted, feeling that there was no need to compete on such a matter.
Schliemann seemed to be aware of Selu's embarrassment. He walked to the bow of the ship and approached Selu, who was carrying a big bag and playing with a knife.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Her dagger is so beautiful..."
"What's the use of looking good? Aren't you still killing your enemies with this one?"
"No, I threw away the one that killed the enemy."
"Ah? Why did you throw it away?"
"I thought I wouldn't need it again."
"A wise man knows to stop, and he who knows to stop is wise."
Selu couldn't understand Schliemann's words. She didn't even know what language he was speaking.
“What this means is that a wise man knows when to stop.
It's good that you're not completely consumed by hate. "
Even though Schliemann had broken this sentence into pieces, Selu still couldn't agree.
She looked at Ampton on the bow of the boat, as well as Walter and Vivian on his left and right, and fell into deep thought.
Did you really want to stop?
Recalling the heavy rain in Antler City, she stole a horse and rushed out of the city, trying to go to the capital of Hisoka to kill her last enemy, Archbishop Mao En.
At that time, it rained heavily.
She couldn't see the road, and couldn't even hear the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground. Even so, the voice that appeared in her mind was still clear.
