Chapter 12 Sharing
The sailors on the deck were busy with Lieutenant General of the ship, Captain Parker said goodbye to Link and was about to leave the port early before it was completely dark.
Back at the cabin, Link was assigned a single cabin due to his identity. The room was small, about four or five square meters in size. A single bed was placed against the wall. A guardrail was installed beside the bed, and the surroundings of the bed were fixed to the walls and floors with iron nails.
There is also a small desk opposite the bed, and there is nothing else except the matching seats. For the safety of sailing, the tables and chairs are also tightly fixed.
It was not yet night, but the cabin was already black and difficult to see.
"It's so depressing to stay in the cabin without windows."
Link lies on the boat and complains with his hands resting on his back to the back of his head.
The single cabin is located on the lower floor of the deck, which is considered a VIP area. Tony and his men were assigned to the second floor of the lower floor of the deck. There are two cabins in four people per room, and the treatment is quite good.
Not long after lying down and resting, he heard the sound of a trumpet coming from the deck. Then the entire cabin shook slightly, and Link knew that the ship had begun to leave the port.
"Dongdong" knocked on the door, and Link got up and opened the door. A servant was carrying a three-layer wooden box, and an extinguished oil lamp was placed on the ground at his feet.
"Sir, this is your dinner and light fixtures, and if you need anything, you can call me at the end of the corridor."
After saying that, the servant pointed to the stairs that went up to the deck. There was a small compartment in the corner of the stairs, which should be where he said.
Link was very satisfied with this, especially when he saw the food in the food box, full of meat and vegetables, and a vegetable soup. His more than half a year of pirate career made him hate seafood such as sea fish, shrimps and other seafood.
After the dinner was settled, Link returned the lunch box to the servant and asked about the time.
It is difficult to deal with on board this point, and it is impossible to know the time easily. The cabin has no windows and cannot observe the time through the light.
The agreed time was almost over, and Link returned to the bed cabin and carefully buckled the door latch.
Link: Are everyone ready?
Link asked in his mind.
Gray Rabbit: Here comes, are everyone here? I have thought about the problem today.
It seems that she is very motivated, which is a good thing.
Fox: I'm ready.
Bai Ge: Yes.
Mustang: (a breathing sound)...Fight..Waiting for me..
Link:..
fox:..
White pigeon:..
Grey Rabbit: Nothing will happen to the wild horse, right?
Gray Rabbit asked worriedly, but no one knew it and could only wait silently.
After a while, the Mustang reconnected.
Mustang:...end...can start...
Everyone felt relieved.
Grey Rabbit: Wild Horse, you made us worry so much. What happened?
Everyone was very curious and happened to be following the question and attention with the heart.
Mustang:...(A silence)...Normal..Fight..
The wild horse was silent for a while and organized the language: there was no salt, no food to be sold, so you can only grab it.
Only after his stumbling description did everyone know what was going on. The tribes on the grassland had been communicating with each other with the Bass Empire, which was close to them. The grassland people exchanged their specialty cattle and sheep products and the merchants of the empire for a series of daily necessities such as salt and iron.
Every autumn trading, because the grassland people traded single goods and the goods provided by the imperial merchants were necessities, the price was often too severe. When it was exaggerated, a bag of salt could even be exchanged for five fat sheep that had fat in autumn.
The people of the grassland were already dissatisfied. This year's transactions were even more harsh. The merchants of the empire united and told the people of the grassland that they could only trade salt for war horses.
This completely angered the tribes of the grassland. As the strongest Gatu tribe among the grassland tribes, it summoned many grassland people who were dissatisfied with the empire and led the grassland people to attack the trading market on the empire's border with the order.
The wild horse is a member of the Gatu tribe. The battle before nightfall is the end of today's Prairie people's battle against the Empire.
Link: So, has the Gatu tribe officially started war with the empire now?
Link didn't expect to receive explosive news in this "group". Apart from the warring parties, they may be the first person to know the news in this continent.
Everyone seemed to be stunned by the news.
Mustang: I don't know, I... obey orders... start a war... the matter of the patriarch...
Fox: If what you said is true, this news is very important to me! I owe you a favor! Everyone, I will leave first and come back later.
After saying that, he hurriedly stepped down - the fox's avatar became dim.
Could it be that the fox is...a person from the Bath Empire?
Link thought secretly, and only this reason could explain her reaction. So now there are two people in the "Mingpai", the wild horses of the Gatu tribe and the fox of the New Bass Empire.
Grey Rabbit: Oh, why are the people in this empire so bad? Brother Wild Horse, you were not injured today, right?
Link complained in his heart, fortunately the fox was offline, otherwise he might have been revenge in his heart when he heard this.
Mustang: It's okay...slight injury...thank you
Everyone talked to him with concern for a while.
The fox's avatar flashed and became bright again.
Fox: Huh, I'm back, I'm back, I've learned this news in advance, I've helped me a lot! Thank you again, Mustang.
The wild horse was embarrassed by her continuous thanks and answered stumblingly.
This incident has a lot to do with the two parties involved in the Mustang and the Fox, so everyone else should just listen to a story.
Fox: If you have any news or secrets about the empire in the future, you can tell me that I will pay corresponding rewards. I owe the news about the Wild Horse today, so I will give you a testimony.
At this point, everyone finally realized that the fox was from the New Bass Empire.
Gray Rabbit then realized that she remembered the bad things about the empire just now.
Grey Rabbit: Fox, why do people in your empire treat Big Brother Mustang like this?
Fox: Well, things are not that simple. The empire is too big. There are always short-sighted people who do things that harm the empire for immediate interests. I believe this is just the personal behavior of some merchants. This conflict will definitely be resolved well!
Grey Rabbit: Yes, I believe you, fox.
‘A very well-protected noble lady who has not had much contact with the dark side of society.’ This is Link’s evaluation of the fox.
As for the gray rabbit, Link shook her head, a silly and straightforward, but it was quite comfortable to get along with someone who was not scheming, so there was no need to worry about her being foolish.
‘Should he be another rich girl or a noble lady who is well protected by the elders in his family?’
Link thought about their common ground, then looked at the portrait of the last woman in the group, Bai Ge.
‘What background will she have?’
Now only this white dove has not exposed any traceable background.
Bai Ge: Regarding the Empire, I may have a secret clue to share with you.
