I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 232

  Chapter 232 Heart Lamp (5500 chapters)

   January 25, 1493.

  A new law called the New Amendments to the Code of the Kingdom of Baia (1493) is enacted.

  The most notable of these is to clarify the scope of the "Labor Law" and "Welfare and Poor Law". The kingdom will use large sums of money from the treasury every year to improve the difficult situation of the people at the bottom.

   On this day, all Baia cheered for this world-renowned news.

  People sang and danced on the streets from the bottom of their hearts. The streets and alleys of Göttinghagen were full of drunken citizens, and even law enforcement officers joined the sea of ​​celebration.

   Another thing to be excited about is that today is Miss Winster's coming-of-age ceremony.

  Because of Tu Fu's entrustment, Ke Lan specially rented a palace in the suburbs in the name of his father.

  The main character of this coming-of-age ceremony, because of the surname Winster, no matter whether they were invited or uninvited, big shots came to join in on their own initiative.

   There was no stinging ostentation at Miss Weimar's grown-up ball, and some annoying guest wasn't going to show up uninvited this time.

   "Father, everything has been arranged, and Columbia University directors, well-known writers, musicians and performing groups were also invited. Even my coming-of-age ceremony is not as grand as this.

   Oh, I almost remembered wrongly, I never had an adult dance party at all. "

  Klan, who presided over the pomp in the ballroom, smiled and complained about it inadvertently.

  On this happy day, he finally dared to muster up the courage to complain about the past to his father who had always been in awe, in a complaining tone.

   "Really? But in my impression, this is an etiquette exclusive to noble ladies, just like girls' afternoon tea."

   Prime Minister Sorens in the VIP seat raised his eyebrows and picked up his teacup to play with, with a rare expression of bewilderment: "I thought you didn't like holding dances and the like."

   "Because you always tell me to fight like a man.

  It is always like this when you are born in the Saurons family. From birth, you have the superior conditions that others envy for a lifetime, and you have to bear the corresponding obligations. It is absolutely not advisable to squander in the name of the family. "

  Klan was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, but he still raised his head and looked into his father's eyes.

  It was completely different from the coldness and tyranny he had imagined, and it was more of a kind of unexplained doubt, so he dared to continue to add: "That's exactly the case, so I am always careful, no matter what I do, I will follow your will."

  Probably he was responsible for the revision of the new law, or maybe it was Tu Fu's actions that day that gave him courage.

  Finally, something buried deep in Crane's heart broke out.

  He decided, at least once, not to be an obedient, obedient kid.

   "Klan, why have you never told me." Thilo's palm holding the teacup froze.

   "It's because you have never noticed that we are afraid of you and afraid of you. We have always kept this topic secret. You are the hero of this country. How dare we talk about you because of such a trivial matter."

   "So you like this kind of dance."

   "I like it very much." Kelan even burst into tears.

   "Please forgive me for my negligence in the past. After becoming a qualified prime minister, I have neglected many things...so much so that I no longer take your feelings into consideration.

  I think, I will learn to be a qualified father in the future. "

  The well-dressed Sophie didn't show any joy because of this sensational coming-of-age ceremony.

  In the dressing room, she was wearing a fashionable green evening dress, holding a letter and a bottle of dark green potion tightly in her hand,

   This is his last gift.

  The whole city is cheering for such good news, but they don't remember that the person who brought it all is now suffering.

  From now on, workers will receive fair wages for their work, and children will receive free education.

   This was not discovered by the conscience of the nobles of the royal family, but someone came.

  After Sophie calmed down, her eyes gradually became firmer. She lightly dragged her skirt and walked out of the hall under the welcome of her father Ethan.

   "Look, if other girls were shown the most beautiful flowers in Göttinghagen, even when they're morose, they'd probably be mad with envy."

  Officer Winster saw her depressed mood, even though he and Mrs. Amphier were not in a good mood either.

  The past few days have been like years. They tried their best to inquire about Tu Fu like crazy. Fortunately, things have come to fruition.

   Not too good and not too bad.

   He paid a price for being a man.

   As the only man in the Winster family, he should always stand up in such a crisis.

  Even if it is difficult, sad, and full of holes in his heart, but at his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, Ethan Winster must also smile and not be so sad.

   Accompanied by her parents, Sophie walked into the ball hall, and she was so dazzling at the party, like a shining pearl.

  At the ball, I don't know how many boys of the same age had their eyes brightened, and they made up their minds to invite her to dance to a dance song after the ceremony.

  Sophie followed Police Officer Winster all the way to the highest stage of the ball, and his wife pulled up Sophie wearing white lace gloves.

  "In the past period of time, there have been many great events and many unpleasant events in the Winster family, but this does not hinder today's dance.

  Our Sophie has finally grown up and has the right to decide her own future.

  She is a nice girl, with admirable wisdom and character, and incredible etiquette.

  I have never asked her too much, I only hope that she will still be happy every day after she becomes an adult, and this is my only wish. "

"dad."

  Sophie couldn't help but glanced at Mr. Winster.

   "Here I also express to a gentleman who was so brave and unyielding that he fell into the swamp, he was the wisest and most stupid person I ever met.

  Respect, that wonderful little Mr. Capet. "

  Ethan Winster picked up the wine glass. This astonishing move made the guests applaud. They also raised their wine glasses high for the unknown man, but they all knew that his heroic deeds spread throughout the Northern Continent.

Respectfully,

  The hero goes away.

   "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  The fireworks in the capital at night are brilliant, rising into the sky and bursting into strange clouds of flames. The gorgeous fireworks add a unique embellishment to the city that never sleeps.

   "Is that why you stayed an extra day? A girl's bar mitzvah."

  Roman Richard saw Tu Fu watching from a distance, but there was still a happy smile on his face, "I can understand your mood, but we really should go now."

   "Mr. Richard, I really... really want to go in...at least give me another look..."

   "Actually, I don't recommend you to do this. The longer you stay, it will only make you more hesitant. Once you show up at the ball, it will only bring them endless trouble.

   Boy, it's time for us to hit the road. "

  Roman's absolute rationality made Tu Fu's little thought disappear without a trace.

  He had no choice but to follow the other party silently.

   Accompanying them was another person, whose skin was very dark, not like that of ordinary people from the Northern Continent, and the exaggerated gold chain made the whole person look extremely exaggerated.

   This is Varo who met in the "Time" beer hall of the fraternity, the shameful snakehead in Roman's mouth.

  Because Tufu's itinerary must be kept secret, the University of Michigan route cannot be used.

  In Göttinghagen, few people have more channels than him. He knows when there are unregistered freighters and transport ships in the port, and he can do it conveniently as long as he gives some money.

   "Gentlemen, the departure time of this passenger ship is twelve midnight, please be on time.

   There is a greedy and innocent guy on board. After I take care of it, no one will check your identity. As long as you don't use your current name, you can use anything, and no one will care.

   It is worth being careful of some thieves with dirty hands and feet on the boat. After catching them, you can warn them not to provoke you.

   Most importantly, forget what you learned in Miskar Stark about dealing with people, politeness sometimes doesn't apply to everyone.

  This is especially true at sea. When you show your weak side, people always think you are easy to bully. "

  The snakehead Varo who led the way instructed Tu Fu, a rookie with no experience.

   "To tell you the truth, I hate boats, and I hate the sea."

  Tu Fu patted his forehead dejectedly.

   He's on the verge of getting marine ptsd.

  If it weren't for the fact that there are too many checkpoints on the high-speed train and it is easy to delay things, he would never choose this kind of transportation that daunts him.

   "Thankfully, your skin color, if you change to a person of color, I should really remind you to be careful of human traffickers, that group of lunatics will do anything for money."

   Looking at this kid who has no experience in going to sea, Varo kindly made another point.

  Although this is a great character, his aspect is too tender, so tender that anyone with social experience can use it as a cash machine. He is definitely the type of person most loved by gamblers and prostitutes-take advantage of.

   "I trust my friends enough for any trouble.

  Uncle Roman said something calmly.

   Heh, a Sequence 7 adventurer, most people should avoid him.

  No matter in any harsh environment, adventurers always have their own unique ways to survive.

   "I hope so." Valo shrugged.

  Tu Fu was silent for a while and asked earnestly: "Sir, I really don't understand why the sea is always in such chaos, no matter how you fix it, it doesn't work?"

   "Because the sea is so vast that there is no limit, it has enough heart to accommodate all kinds of people."

  Varo opened his arms when he spoke, making a gesture of embracing each other, his expression full of yearning.

  The eastern part of the dock area.

  It is the boat destination that Tu Fu is going to.

  Hundreds of cargo ships come and go here every day, which is a proof that Göttinghagen is one of the centers of the world.

  The last time Tu Fu came here was half a year ago. At that time, the workers were like machines that only knew how to work, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

  I don't know if it's because of the night or the celebration of the promulgation of the new law. Compared with the busy coming and going at that time, the atmosphere now is much more relaxed.

  Someone set off gorgeous fireworks by the shore, sang and danced on the shore.

  Small vendors set up shop on the ground to sell some gadgets and chat with customers cordially.

  Everyone is celebrating this amazing day. Workers from all walks of life are overflowing with joy when they touch beer at the end of their work.

   Someone walks up drunk, "Guys, look at this, it's bigger than the Gospel of the Gods in the church.

  The labor law now mandates that the daily work will not exceed 12 hours, and there is even a minimum wage guarantee, which is unimaginable..."

   "God bless, my children no longer need to secretly work in factories, the government will open low-cost colleges, and every child is eligible for education."

  “As long as you work hard, the salary of more than 8 crowns per week is enough for our family to eat meat frequently.”

   “From this day forward, each of us has the right to be human.”

  Amid this sea of ​​excitement, everyone dying to drink, the peddler on the harbor bridge suddenly noticed that there was only one special guest.

  He shrugged his head as he headed to the pier, and walked forward without saying a word.

  The hawker immediately promoted his product to him, "Sir, why be so depressed, why not take a look at this thing, maybe it will make you happy.

  Its name is the wishing heart lamp, and it can be placed on the riverside or the coast to emit beautiful sparks.

  People will always write the name of the most cherished person on it to send their sincere wishes. "

   That's a typical steam age gadget.

  The lotus lamp-like construction process, the position of the wick is filled with gunpowder, which can ensure that it can float on the water surface for a period of time, and can maintain its brilliance for a long time when floating.

  It's an interesting gadget.

   It's just that Tu Fu really doesn't have the heart to understand at the moment, especially when he hears the happy voices of the workers in the dock area, he really can't empathize.

  The joys and sorrows in this world are never connected.

   After shaking his head to reject the peddler's request, in case anyone noticed him, Tu Fu lowered the brim of his hat and walked quietly through the crowd.

  Like a captured fugitive who can only move from dark corners,

   can only sneak away when people are not paying attention.

   "Puff, puff."

  Thick black smoke was blowing from the exhaust pipe into the sky from the coast, and the steamboat was getting closer and closer to the shore. Snakehead Valen lowered his head and whispered in his ear:

   "Mr. Capet, the ship has arrived."

  Looking at the medium-sized passenger ship named "Homecoming" coming from the southwest, after the policy is promulgated, more and more people will only come to Göttinghagen.

  There are colorful flags and cheers everywhere in front of the pier, which seems to indicate that their good life is coming, which inevitably makes Tu Fu standing at the port feel strange.

  Obviously as the winner, he could only run away with his tail between his legs amidst the cheers.

  He couldn't help being a little sentimental at this situation.

  He kept his eyes fixed, for fear that their joy would overwhelm his last trace of strength.

   This visit lasted for two years.

  Two years is enough to change too many things. At that time, people have long forgotten him. The University of Michigan has ushered in a new generation of geniuses, and the academic world has made new breakthroughs.

  Perhaps, even Sophie will have a boy she likes.

  Such a long period of time is enough to change everything. Vain promises, insignificant gifts, no matter how precious things are, they cannot withstand the tempering of time.

  Tu Fu tried to pull down the brim of his hat to completely cover his eyes and expression, wishing he could completely wrap himself in it.

   "Hey, so you can cry too."

  When the clear female voice rose in Tu Fu's ear, it was Sophie, still wearing the eye-catching long dress at the ball, panting and patting her chest, and holding a letter tightly in her hand.

   "Sophie, you come... what are you doing..."

   "I found Mr. Richard, Mr. Tokelan, and he told me where you left."

  Uncle Roman on the side was full of smiles, as if telling him that you are welcome.

   "Look, here's a gift from you."

  I saw that Miss Winster unfolded the letter paper and recited in a low voice, "When you are old, gray-haired, sleepy, and dozed by the fire, please take down this collection of poems.

  Recite slowly, dreaming of your eyes back then. That soft light and green shadows. "

   "Sophie, listen to me."

  "How many people have loved your beauty and your joyful and charming youth with true love and falsehood."

"This is a misunderstanding."

   "Only love your pilgrim's heart, love the sorrow on your withering face."

   "How about I kneel down for you."

   "When you are bent over the hot grate, you will speak softly, with a touch of sadness."

   "Stop reading..."

   "The lost love has now stepped up the mountain and buried its beauty in the dense star cluster." Sophie looked up at him with expectation in her eyes.

   "Is this the poem you gave to me?" She paused for a moment, her brows raised high, "A love poem."

  Tu Fu was very clear-headed, knowing that there would be no results if he continued to entangle, so he could only sigh:

   "Trust me, it's really just a misunderstanding."

   "What about the last song? It was also a misunderstanding?" Miss Winster raised her brows aggressively.

  She specially wrote down the square words at the beginning of the poem published at Columbia University, "Today is my coming-of-age ceremony, so don't lie to me. What does this sentence mean?"

  Tu Fu just wanted to make up a nonsense to fool the past, when he looked up and saw the pitiful look of Sophie's watery eyes, he couldn't help but confess:

   ""The Farthest Distance in the World"—Tu Fu gave it to Sophie."

"I knew it."

  Sophie looked like a successful shameful liar, Tu Fu couldn't react for a moment with the seamless and bright eyes.

  He was surprised to find that he couldn't play her well.

   "Tu Fu, I have applied to Professor Edmund for a one-year leave of absence, and then I will inform my parents that I will go to study in Ryan Kingdom in the next year.

   This is a decision I have considered for a long time.

  I'll come to you as soon as I've settled the matter in Göttinghagen. "

  Sophie's voice is very soft, but the weight of her words is extremely heavy, "So, don't lower your head, no matter how difficult it is, I will accompany you through this journey."

   "Sophie, stop talking nonsense." Tu Fu frowned.

   "It's not yet twelve o'clock, must your promise be kept right? I guess the famous Mr. Capet would never deceive a little girl like me."

  Miss Winster took out the last stone of life, and made her third wish of coming of age ceremony.

   Accompanying him through the most difficult years is Sophie's third wish.

   This is by no means a joke.

  Don't question the weight of her determination and the courage to show her love boldly.

   Being able to come here now, I think he confides these words is the best proof of this relationship.

  Even a veteran in love like Roman can't help but be moved by it.

  Under the cold moonlight, the girl took the initiative to take a step forward, while the boy stood still.

   The bodies of the two fit together almost everything.

  She lifted her toes gently, and the boy subconsciously half-armed her waist, hugging each other tightly, tears running down his face.

  Bow your head and let your mouth touch the warm lips, feel the hot love of the other party, and completely release the love that imprisoned the cage in your heart.

   Kiss affectionately goodbye in the moonlight,

   is the most romantic thing I can do to you.

   "Woo! Woo!"

  The steamboat began to glance into the distance amidst the sound of its whistle, and Tu Fu's eyes full of love never left the shore, leaving the beautiful blond lady who was slender but contained infinite strength.

  At first, there were only a few sounds of celebration on the shore, and then those sounds disappeared.

  When the steamer drew anchor and set sail, more and more people stood on the shore.

  So that the whole port was finally full of people, and the blackness was like a solemn mountain. The silent greetings made people breathless.

  The dense crowd silently watched the ship go away.

  While the sea is full of wishing heart lanterns everywhere, all of them are filled with the name "Tufu Capet".

   He never came away as a loser.

  The colorful and dense lights, the light source blooms under the sweep of the waves on the shore, emits the most beautiful and moving brilliance, and finally illuminates the entire sea.

  Citizens of Göttinghagen,

   Offer best wishes for the hero to go far away.
