Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 12 Sailing with the Ship
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A crisp knock came from the wooden door of the house.

Sigurt's voice sounded outside: "Alka, are you ready? We're going to sea today."

"Right away, I'll be right there."

Alka in the room was just getting ready, picked up a piece of bread on the table, stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately, chewed it twice, and rushed out of the house.

Looking at the bread Alka was chewing, Sigurt wanted to ask him what he hadn't had for breakfast, but swallowed it again.

I had no choice but to pull him and said, "Let's go quickly, the ship should set sail in a while."

After finishing speaking, he took Alka along the path through the town and arrived at the port of the island.

Facing the salty sea breeze in the morning and the slightly hot sun.

Fishing boats, which could only accommodate two or three people, slowly left the port.

The fishing boats on the island usually set off in the early morning, and it is not possible to return until the afternoon or even at night.

Only the two galleons I saw before remained at the port.

One of the warehouses has been opened, and many sailors who have never seen them are carrying bags of wheat into the warehouse.

There is also a person who looks like a supervisor watching.

"Hold it well, don't spill it or get it wet, these are golden ears of wheat."

At this time, there are only a few bags of wheat left on the wooden boards not far away, and it will not be long before all of them will be transported into the cabin.

"This is Uncle Hals' merchant ship, Uncle Hals, do you know?"

Alka nodded, there was this person in his memory.

He is also a resident of the island, and he can often be seen in taverns or in the port. Didn't you think he was working as a merchant ship?

Seegert looked at the sailboat, patted Alka on the shoulder, shook his head, and signaled them to go up.

"Uncle Hals relies on this ship and often transports goods between the surrounding islands. Sometimes I will follow him a few times and be a sailor on it."

The two chatted, boarded the ship through the connected planks, and came to the deck.

"Hurry up, you slackers, check the cables and locks, and you..."

This middle-aged man, who looked a bit thick and thick, and looked a bit like a reckless man, was yelling at the sailors around him.

Alka remembered not seeing him, so he should not be a resident of the island.

He was wearing very ordinary linen short sleeves and shorts, and a long knife with a sheath pinned to his waist.

Suddenly seeing two people standing in front of him without a job, he was about to scold them together.

"So it's Sigurt, you're here."

As he spoke, he smiled, and walked over to give Siegert a hug.

Then I saw Alka next to Sigurt: "This is..."

"This is my younger brother, Alka." Sigurt introduced.

Alka also quickly stretched out his hand: "Alka Lagu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Siegert's younger brother is my younger brother, just call me TOEFL."

As he spoke, he stretched out his broad palm, held Alka's hand, and shook it vigorously twice.

Look very enthusiastic.

Siegert said next to him: "He has just grown up, take him to the boat to see the world."

Tofu nodded knowingly and laughed twice.

"A man in the sea should become a man in a storm, hahaha!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries.

There was a ding-dong sound like a bell ringing from the bow.

Hearing this voice, Tofu said quickly: "I still have work, so let's go first."

After speaking, he left.

Before Alka could turn his head, he heard a rough voice.

"Sail!"

Siegert also pulled Alka and walked forward: "The boat is about to sail, and it's a bit bumpy. Find something to hold on to and stand firmly."

After the voice fell, Alka hadn't had time to hold the side baffle.

With a bang, the sail was pulled down.

With the push of the wind, the canvas swelled up, pushing the sailboat away from the port.

Seeing that Alka didn't grab the thing that fixed his body, Sigurt immediately wanted to reach out and grab him.

After all, this is Alka, and this is my first time boarding a boat. If I don't stand firmly, I may fall down.

People who are not used to the shaking and bumps during sailing can easily roll into a ball.

However, before he could reach out his hand, he saw Alka nailed to the deck as if his legs had nails.

There is no standing still with the shaking of the sailboat.

"Have you been on a boat before?" Siegert said in surprise.

Alka shook his head, he just felt that this shaking would not make him lose his balance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help reaching out and touching the ring on his left thumb.

It seems that when sailing at sea, the balance and body coordination brought by the ring are indeed very useful.

Unexpectedly, it was this attribute that first made Alka feel the strange power.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help walking around on the sailboat that had just sailed and hadn't fully recovered.

This feeling of smooth movement on a shaking object is really strange.

"Siggert, look at his posture, he is really a natural navigator, just like an old sailor."

Alka looked in the direction where the voice came from. A well-groomed middle-aged man with messy hair and a few white beards strode over.

The clothes on his body are obviously different from those of the sailors around him, a brown-gray leather coat, and a cap similar to a captain's cap on his head.

On the sturdy body, there is a very simple-looking long knife pinned to the waist.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sigurt to answer, he came to Alka's side, patted his shoulder, and squeezed the muscles on his shoulder by the way.

"Arka, why don't you come and work on my ship in the future, treasure hunting may not be suitable for you. Hahaha."

This is the captain of the ship, Hals, who is also a resident of the island.

Siegert hurried over, and said with a rather frightening expression and tone: "Uncle Hals, you don't know, Alka is now a real treasure hunter."

As he spoke, he patted Arka's chest proudly.

One seems to have found a treasure.

Then he talked about the fact that Alka found the magician's treasure a few days ago, although he had already been preempted.

"Good boy, not bad. I didn't expect you to find me. I really underestimated you before."

Halse looked at him with a look that he just knew Alka.

Unexpectedly, the child who used to like to play treasure hunting games has become a real treasure hunter?
Alka laughed out loud immediately, and said in a flaunting tone: "Where is it, you really flattered yourself, it's just a little treasure."

Seeing that Alka was still the same as before, Hals couldn't help but shook his head amusedly, laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder and left.

Sigurd dragged Alka and walked towards the poop at the stern.

After bypassing some sailors who said hello, they came to a small warehouse.

It is full of various iron items, like a tool library.

Long sailor knives hung firmly on several of the wooden frames.

Siegert went up to find two short knives that looked good and had a scabbard, took them off and handed one of them to Alka.

"This is……"

Looking at Alka's doubts, Sigert explained: "This is the sea, and there are too many dangers. Without weapons, you can't protect yourself properly."

After Alka took it, he looked at the sailor knife in his hand.

This kind of knife is more similar to a short knife, probably shorter than the entire arm of an adult, with a wider sword body in an arc shape, and the hand guard is a D-shaped hand guard that extends to the handle.

A weapon that is very good for slashing, with a relatively short blade, it can also be used in more complicated situations.

Pulling out the scabbard and looking at it, the cold light of metal flashed on the blade.

"But I don't know how to use a weapon."

"It's okay, it's mainly used to make you brave. If you are in danger, at least you have confidence, don't you?"

Siegert raised his head and said with a smile as he adjusted to the dagger in his hand.

"And this kind of knife only needs to know how to cut. It doesn't necessarily require much experience. Swinging randomly can cause damage to the enemy."

Alka nodded. Although he said so, he still liked it in his heart.

After all, this is a real weapon with a blade. I compared it in my hand and posed a few poses.
