Four days later, a dock on the main island of Taniria Islands, Winters, Andre and Bud stood bored on the top floor of the stern staircase to see who could throw the stone further away.

"You two are blatantly bullying the wounded." Winters was injured because of a sharp hand and could only participate with his left hand. He is currently ranked last.

"You are allowed to admit defeat, do you admit it?" Andrey swung hard, and a small stone slid across a graceful arc and landed on the far water surface.

Bard didn't say anything, slammed the stone in his hand, stood sideways, and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to push his arms out. The stone fell on the golden water further away, and he couldn't even see the landing point.

Seeing Bard's new record, Winters began to think about it. He felt that he had the chance to turn the tables by finding some materials to make a simple stone-tree rope.

"Aren't you from the monastery? Monks also practice shooting shot put?" Andrey was careless and said whatever he thought of.

"The monks don't throw shot put." Bad smiled and said, "But I will let the monks go."

Winters sighed, there was no such suitable string around him.

Warrant Officer Winters is basically half a useless person now: the position where Ike left shoulder was hit by the left shoulder has turned from green to purple, and it hurts when it is pulled; the right foot was pierced by a caltrop, which means that there is no big problem, given that he has not had a fever so far. After cleaning the wound, wrapping it in a clean cotton cloth, it will be solved; the most scary thing is the knife wound on the right arm that was left by a female madman who didn't know where to get it. After a few times of stopping the bleeding and breaking away, the wound could not close. The flesh turned outward and kept bleeding.

The officers all knew that they should use needles and thread to sew the wounds, but no one dared to do it. In the end, Major Moritz drank a bottle of rum, and used the alcohol to use the fish hook and cotton thread to sew more than a dozen stitches crookedly to Winters; the phantom limb pain from the "third hand" was relieved a lot, but it started to itch again. Itchy is even more uncomfortable than pain.

Moreover, Winters still cannot use magic. A little concentration will cause strong phantom limb pain, making him unable to maintain his casting state.

In the past day, Winters changed from a cadet to a warrant officer, and was injured three times, temporarily losing his magical ability.

"How long has the ship been here? Why haven't you set off yet?" Winters just wanted to go home and have a good sleep now.

Andrei also lost his usual energy and held the guardrail dejectedly.

The ship they were on was called the "Skuo", a communication ship organized by the Inner Sea Fleet of the Sea Blue Navy. Instead of taking the trainees home directly, the Skuo took them east across the Gulf of Senas to the Tanirian Islands.

After arriving at the Taniria Islands, the Skuo first waited at the anchorage outside the port for a night. The next morning, the pier was docked. And it took a day to stop, and the captain didn't do anything.

Because Brigadier General Layton strictly prohibited any officer from getting off the boat, Winters and the other two could only look at the flower world on the shore, but could not go down to stroll. Finally, they were so bored that they stood on the stern of the boat and threw stones to play.

"It's soon, it's soon, the cargo ship broker will come soon." The first mate of the Skuo climbed onto the stern of the boat and walked to Winters and the other two with a smile.

Winters and the other two looked at each other for a moment, wondering whether they should salute him. When Winters racked his brains to recall the naval rank system, Bud spoke first: "Who are you talking about the cargo ship broker? Whoever leaves the port and who enters the port is the cargo ship broker responsible for the management?"

The first mate did not answer the question first, but turned his hand and turned into a few yellow fruits and handed them to Winters and the other two: "Taste, Taniria's specialty."

Winters and the other two had never seen this thing before, so they took the fruit with skepticism. They dared not eat it, and they didn't know how to eat it.

"Just eat it directly, peel it and eat it." The first mate took out another fruit and showed it to the three young warrant officers how to eat it. He peeled off the skin outside the fruit, revealing the yellow flesh, and ate it in a few bites.

Winters also learned from the first mate to peel the fruit peel and tentatively ate the flesh. It was sweet and juicy and delicious. He ate a fruit in a few bites and wanted to eat another one.

"What is this fruit called? I have never eaten it." This was the first time Winters saw this fruit.

"Without a name, the locals call it 'sweet water', a kind of berries on the island."

"I have never eaten it before, and I have never seen it." Andre added, and Bard nodded. Obviously, the two of them also like this kind of fruit.

"It's hard to store, and it will rot in less than a day after picking it from the tree." The first mate said lightly: "So apart from the locals on the island, only we sailors can eat it."

"What are you asking just now? What does the cargo ship broker do?" The first mate took out a few fruits from his pocket and distributed them to the three of them, explaining seriously: "The cargo ship broker is the one who helps the shipowner sell goods or buy goods. We don't have time to sell the goods in the cabin bit by bit, nor do we have time to buy goods slowly, so we will go to the cargo ship broker. They are all very related and can clear a ship or fill a ship in one breath."

"Wait..." Winters keenly noticed the conflict in which he had obtained information: "Aren't you warships of the Inland Navy? Why do you still have to find a cargo broker to sell goods?"

"Hahahaha" Winters' question made the first mate laugh: "How could we be the navy? Look at me, like a naval officer? Do you look at the skuo again, like a warship?"

"Isn't the Skuo a naval communications ship?"

"Just put it on the name, the Navy is the owner of the Skuo."

"Then why is the Skua taking us home?"

"We usually do some passenger transport work in addition to freight. Just like this time, we have carried a few other people besides you?"

Winters finally understood what those people on the Skuo who were neither army nor sailors did. Those people had no communication with the trainee officers. He originally thought that those people were ship owners, but he didn't expect that they were just passengers.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "No wonder." Winters sighed: "I wonder why the navy's warship is so small?"

In Winters' opinion, the Skuo is indeed not big. Winters has seen many merchant ships that are much larger than the Skuo.

The Skuo only has two decks, the uppermost one is the open-air deck, and there is a deck in the hull, and then go down to the bottom of the ship.

Moreover, since the Skuo is not high and the second deck is below the waterline, there is at most a small vent on the cabin under the open-air deck, so there is no way to open the windows, so naturally the cannon cannot be installed.

Not only did the boat not have a special artillery deck, but there were no artillery. Winters wandered around the boat for a few laps, let alone cannons, and he didn't even see the shells. Now he finally understood what was going on.

"The Navy originally had few real warships, all of which were famous merchant ships like the Skuo." The first mate was a little unhappy when he heard others say that Skuo was not good. He tried to give the advantages of Skuo: "Skuo is actually not small, can it be loaded with a hundred tons of goods yet small? Moreover, the cable design of Skuo is very good and easy to control, and more than a dozen sailors can handle it."

"A dozen sailors can handle it, so if you stuff more than thirty people, you'll almost squeeze out people to death." Andre fired another shot.

The cabin of the Skuo is used to carry cargo and can theoretically accommodate people, but it is not ventilated, has poor lighting and extremely harsh living conditions.

Because of this, another forecastle and two stern tower were built on the open-air deck to improve the living environment of sailors.

The second floor of the stern building is an independent small room. It was originally the captain's place, but the highest-ranking Brigadier General Leighton was obviously the one on the ship. Naturally, the Brigadier General was unceremoniously occupied the best separate cabin; the first floor of the stern building was a large room, which was for Winters and other spellcasters to live in; Major Moritz and the captain stayed in the forecastle; other trainee officers could only squeeze in the cabin with the sailors. After leaving the rainfall area, the warrant officers simply learned from the sailors to sleep on the open deck.

Because of the hard work of life at sea, in the past, students from Hailan always took the land route when they returned home, and never took a boat. Not only was they very risky, but the journey experience was also poor. If you walk on land, you can stay in a turnover station and eat and drink all the way and get home.

As a result, this year, I actually said that "it's hard to walk on the road" and asked the students to take a boat back. The fun journey turned into a tormental journey. Every time I think of this, it made all the intern officers angry.

"Although the place is a little smaller, the Skua is very fast." The first mate was still insisting.

"No matter how fast the speed is, what's the use of the wrong direction?" Andre refused to give in.

The first mate broke out: "There is no way, I can't make much money by running the direct route between Hailan City and Keito City. The merchant ships in the Sea of ​​Senas are all running triangular routes. Don't worry, you can just pull the anchor from here and go directly to Hailan City."

"Ding, ding, ding" Major Moritz also climbed up the stern of the boat. He came to ask the first mate to help buy wine. Because of Brigadier General Layton's confinement order, Major Moritz could not get off the boat. He drank himself and gave the spellcaster students "medicine" and his rum stock was cleared two days ago.

Without the water of life, the major's spirit has obviously become much weaker in the past few days.

"Mr. Master, please replace the freshwater bucket on your boat with a new one? The walls of the bucket are green. I feel smooth and greasy when I touch it. Wouldn't you be afraid of getting sick if you drink this kind of water?" Major Moritz has not drunk any liquid for two days. Without wine, he really can't drink the freshwater stored on the ship.

When Winters heard the major’s description, he felt a chill because he had been drinking fresh water from the boat these days.

"Okay, OK, I'll let the sailor brush the bucket now." The first mate left hurriedly.

There were many vendors with small rafts on the water near the dock selling local fruits and vegetables to the sailors. The major whistled and called a small raft over.

The major made a gesture and said it was all necessary. No one could see where he took out a small silver coin, but he flashed it gently and the silver coin accurately slid into the hands of the vendor.

"You go down and sell him food and drink and give him a share." The major obviously had some withdrawal reaction: "I'm going to rest for a while, and wake me up after I buy the wine."

He had just thrown out a silver coin, but at this time the major had another silver coin in his hand. He unconsciously played with the silver coin and left the stern of the ship.

"A magician?" Andrey poked his head out and looked at the vendor, then looked back at the major: "The silver coins he gave will not be transformed back by him."

"How could it be? Just another one, I think it's great to throw a coin into someone's arms."

Later that day, the Skuo cleared the iron and leather shipped from Guitu City, refilled the Tani Islands with white sugar and tobacco, and headed towards the sea blue.
