(Add updates to everyone's monthly pass!)

Wayne led Hobert along the narrow aisle to the door of a cabin.

Hobert heard the voices of men and women coming from inside, and Wayne violently hammered them with his fist: "How many times have I said, don't bring women into the guest room."

"I'm sorry uncle, I, I'll be fine soon."

The young man who talked inside did what he said, and it was really over quickly.

The cabin door opened, and a charming woman with bright clothes and light makeup went out while arranging her skirt.

For the two men standing at the door, instead of being shy, she started soliciting business, especially Hobert, who looked delicate and handsome. She said she was willing to give Hobert a discount.

She didn't leave until Wayne waved his hand impatiently.

Then came out a young man wearing a belt and smiling flatteringly. Wayne introduced that this was his nephew Schill, who was a helper on the boat.

Seeing that there were guests on the return trip this time, Xie Er immediately said, "I'll change the sheets for you right now."

Originally, Hobert wanted to temporarily return to the deck to avoid it, but he thought that this is the life of the bottom people in this era, and there is nothing to avoid.

The so-called cabin is a narrow cabin that can only accommodate a bed and a chair. Fortunately, there is a window so that the cabin will not feel stuffy.

It's just that the window is a little above the water, which makes people feel suffocated.

Although Schill changed the sheets, the room still had a musty smell.

Hobert did not have any psychological barriers, but he was not willing to sit on the bed immediately.

Wayne warned: "No matter who you meet along the way, you always say that you are the man on the ship. Remember, if you miss the point, you will have to bear the extra money."

Hobert nodded first, and then asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You will know when you enter the mountains."

Wayne turned around and started busy burning the boiler, oiling the steam engine, and getting ready to sail.

Hobert sat in his chair, listening to the voices of his uncle and nephew talking as they worked.

Wayne asked: "Didn't you say that the slut asked a high price? Why are you still looking for her?"

"But she looks good, and that cry, Goddess of the Earth, I feel like my legs are still shaking."

"It's worthless, next time I'll take you into the city, go to the 'pleasure house' in the city, and let you know what a woman is."

"..."

Hobert thought to himself: As an uncle, shouldn't you stop your nephew from doing this?Why are you still taking it with you?
Then he realized that he had been in this world for so long, but he was still somewhat incompatible with the values ​​of people in this world.

Previously, Hobert came into contact with basically conservative Loen gentlemen. After leaving Backlund, he felt that he had seen the original appearance of this world.

At about nine o'clock, with a dull siren sounding, the "Hippo" officially set sail.

On the not-so-spacious deck of the "Hippo", a lot of goods that were fixed yesterday were piled up, and there was a raft-like structure linked by iron chains at the back of the ship, which was also neatly filled with goods .

In addition, there was a live goat tethered to the raft, bleating, and Hobert didn't know it was food?Or is it a local custom of running a boat?
Scheer was working hard to add coal to the boiler in the cabin, while Wayne in the cab above carefully sailed away from the port, almost swearing after a while, and he didn't know whether he was scolding other ships or Scheer.

Hobert sighed. He didn't expect that his first experience on a boat would be surrounded by some swear words that he couldn't understand at his current level of Fennaport, as well as the sound of Xier adding coal and the sound of steam engines turning. here we go.

Because it was going down the river, the boat speeded up quickly. After more than two hours of sailing, some hills began to appear on both sides of the bank, which soon turned into rolling mountains. They officially entered the mountainous area.

Hobert occasionally went to the deck to get some air, but the deck was too narrow, and the river was very cold in winter, so he stayed in the cabin most of the time.

The boiler is also in the cabin below the deck, so there is no need to worry about heating, and Hobert even sweats a little.

The steamship sailed until the evening, when the ship actually began to dock.

Hobert came to the cab and asked, "Have you reached your destination?"

Wayne said with a cold face: "We have to pay taxes to those bastards!"

He glanced at Hobert: "Remember, just say you are the helper on the ship."

Hobert was taken aback. Although he saw private houses on both sides of the river, he didn't expect that there were people from the county government collecting taxes here.

Soon, the steamship approached a simple port. At this time, there were many people standing on the wooden pier. Hobert first saw a man wearing a bishop's uniform standing proudly on the pier, and other people on the pier were kneeling or bowing. .

Hobert was taken aback again: Is it a custom here?It's just collecting a tax, and you still kneel and bow, do you need to be so polite?

"Goddess, Sil, I'm not mistaken, is that a bishop?" Wayne asked in surprise.

"Yes, Uncle." Schill was even a little surprised: "A lord bishop has appeared in South Colson (the locals' name for the southern part of Colson County), and the glory of the Lord has returned."

It was only then that Hobert realized that the people at the pier were saluting the Bishop of the Mother Earth.

As soon as the boat docked, Wayne and Schill jumped onto the pier almost immediately, asking the bishop for blessings again and again.

The bishop was a middle-aged man who looked very easy-going. He smiled and blessed his uncle and nephew, and then asked Hobert on board, "Are you Baron Hobert?"

Wayne was surprised for a while. He didn't expect that this well-dressed passenger turned out to be a nobleman!But what about his guard of honor?Why doesn't he wear noble clothes?

Hobert nodded: "May I ask who you are?"

"I finally caught up with you. I didn't expect you to go by water." The bishop smiled and introduced himself: "I am Bishop Simpson. We have received your kindness through Bishop Utravski. We can come to the shore. chat?"

"Of course." Hobert jumped onto the shore. He didn't expect the Church of the Mother Earth to respond so quickly, and even sent a bishop to express his kindness to him.

The people on the pier watched Bishop Simpson and the young baron leave, and they began to discuss why the bishop appeared here.

The people standing on the pier, as if they were afraid that Uncle and Nephew Wayne would run away, grabbed them and asked about things.

On the other hand, Hobert and Bishop Simpson walked along the river bank.

Simpson said: "I heard that you want to build a church on the territory of Full Moon Lake, and hope that we can send a bishop?"

Hobert nodded: "Yes, you have also seen the enthusiasm of the local people. I think the church should continue to spread the glory of the Mother Earth here."

Bishop Simpson suddenly smiled bitterly: "We evacuated from the mountain because we would be polluted here."
