Chapter 700 The Amazing Captain!
Chu Yang chose the Deep Sea.
In this world, every ship that can sail on the sea year-round is extraordinary.
After all, many ships never return after setting sail.
Or some ships may change owners and names multiple times in a short period of time.
Therefore, before deciding to buy a ticket for the Deep Sea, Chu Yang first handed a tip to the staff member in front of him, and then asked:
"Hello, how's the ship 'Deep Sea'?"
After receiving the tip, the staff member enthusiastically began to explain.
"Sir, you have excellent taste. Although this Deep Sea is a new ship, it has already sailed at least three times."
"Every time it goes to sea, it's a long voyage, and it's always had the same owner."
"Its captain was also poached by the ship's owner at a high salary, and he has a wealth of experience in sea voyages."
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction.
He had no desire to travel on a ship with sectarian or official affiliations.
In this world, money represents everything.
The owners of ships that lack the financial strength to support long-distance voyages are naturally the true capitalists.
The benefits a ship can bring on each voyage are enormous.
Even ordinary capitalists couldn't sustain this ship; it's backed by at least several large capitalists operating it together.
This is the target ship that Chu Yang most hopes to encounter.
After successfully paying and receiving the summons, the two returned to their room satisfied, waiting for their boarding time reward.
The next morning, the two arrived at the port and saw the Deep Sea, which was already moored there.
The ship was enormous, and its exterior was even engraved with exquisite patterns.
"I feel like this ship was designed by an artist."
Miss Hugh couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Even Chu Yang couldn't take his eyes off it.
This ship is not only large in size, but also has various patterns and lines engraved by Zhou Shen, which make it look very comfortable and exquisite.
The ship is also equipped with a large number of cannons in various locations, which can give the passengers a great sense of security.
Many passengers who had spent a lot of money to buy premium tickets immediately waved their tickets excitedly, looking quite satisfied.
Chu Yang mingled with the crowd and led Miss Xiu onto the deck.
Finally, with the guidance of the staff, they successfully arrived at their booked room.
Because the two were traveling together, and in order to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise, they only booked one house.
However, this house has a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom, and even two small servants' rooms.
Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Chu Yang saw exquisitely decorated tables, chairs, and benches.
Such conditions are comparable to those of some hotel deluxe rooms.
"It seems that the money I spent on the boat ticket wasn't a complete waste."
Chu Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself, then turned to Miss Xiu beside him and said, "You can stay in the master bedroom, I'd prefer to stay in the second bedroom."
"But we're playing a couple this time! What if someone finds out?"
Miss Hugh was still somewhat hesitant.
She didn't mind sleeping in the same room as Chu Yang.
Moreover, since we are currently on the run, there are certain details that simply cannot be scrutinized.
Chu Yang laughed and said, "I don't think anyone would be so presumptuous as to come and visit us. Besides, we just need to keep the door closed, and no one will notice."
"Besides, there shouldn't be anyone on this ship who knows us. Even if they happen to find out, they can just make up whatever they want."
Hearing this, Miss Hugh stopped refusing. After all, she had paid for the other ticket herself, so enjoying the master bedroom was no big deal.
Chu Yang offered her a better room, and she should just remember this kindness in her heart; there was no need for her to linger and refuse to accept it.
She already owes Chu Yang enough, so this little bit won't make a difference.
The two settled their luggage, and after a quick tidying up, they went up to the deck together.
The two always appeared as a couple, and were dressed in extraordinary attire. The Taoist priest also made many other acquaintances on the deck.
Chu Yang even greeted the captain of the Deep Sea.
Captain Harrison has many years of experience in the industry, and he can vividly recount some of his exciting and thrilling experiences at sea.
His speaking ability was so strong that it drew cheers from many of the passengers around him.
Only Chu Yang frowned secretly and looked at Captain Harrison thoughtfully.
When evening came, Chu Yang put on his coat and went up to the deck to enjoy the night view.
When he looked up, he saw a blood-red moon hanging in the sky.
"Judging by the time, it's about right. It's the time of the full moon, and it's a red moon. That Fool Klein should have come into this world by now."
Chu Yang's eyes were extremely deep as he gently gripped the railing in front of him.
When Miss Xiu arrived at Chu Yang's side, also dressed in her clothes, she caught a fleeting glimpse of excitement in his eyes.
"Chu Yang, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you asleep so late?"
"You weren't asleep either, were you?"
Chu Yang composed himself, restoring his indifferent demeanor, before asking the question.
Miss Xiu, however, already knew this was Chu Yang's protective facade, and therefore sighed nonchalantly:
"I'm a little worried about Fors."
"After all, I'm just leaving like this. I don't know if the military will cause her trouble, or those guys from the Witch Cult."
She has already discussed this matter with Fors.
However, during this period, she frequently visited various high-end salons.
Her fame had spread throughout Backlund, and the great writer's reputation was extremely prominent.
She was also unwilling to give up the connections she had finally made with several noble children.
However, for her own safety, Fors chose to stay in the homes of several noble children with whom she had a close relationship.
If you take turns staying there, a month will pass quickly.
Presumably, no matter how arrogant the Witch Cult is, it would be impossible for them to directly attack the residence of a nobleman who has a good status and power.
"Don't think about that. Miss Fors is not a foolish woman."
"Most importantly, something extremely important happened tonight."
"Although I can't participate directly, being able to see this blood moon is a kind of indirect participation."
Chu Yang leaned against the railing and spoke in an extremely complicated tone.
"Is something serious happening? Will it affect our situation?"
Miss Hugh asked impatiently.
"Everyone in this world is affected, and you and I are no exception."
"Chu Yang, you're exaggerating too much. Unless the world is about to be destroyed, it can't possibly be like what you're saying."
Miss Hugh couldn't help but mutter to herself.
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Yang's face. He knew everything, but he had no idea how to tell a second person.
Fortunately, the arrival of the Fool was also a good thing for him.
This proves that a month later, he can naturally latch onto the most powerful patron he has ever been.
The two chatted idly on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, until quite some time later they heard a slightly teasing voice behind them:
"So you two are enjoying the moon here late at night. If I had known, I shouldn't have shown up as an uninvited guest."
"However, we are about to pass through a rough seas, so it's not safe to stay on the deck. You two should go back to your rooms first."
The person walking behind him was Captain Harrison.
"Captain Harrison, with you coming onto the deck looking so drunk, I'm starting to think there might be no danger ahead?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh.
"Sir, I'm not joking with you. You'd better listen to me. I'm an experienced captain and I wouldn't joke about something like this."
"As for me, I am a descendant of the sea's bloodline, and I will never get into trouble in the sea."
Captain Harrison patted his chest with considerable pride.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
He has been focusing on psychology and facial expression studies during this period.
Judging from Captain Harrison's tone and facial expressions when he said those words, he could tell that the guy was definitely not bragging, but stating a fact.
"That's interesting. I remember this captain is quite experienced at sea and hasn't had any accidents in many years."
"Could Harrison be an extraordinary being, and perhaps his extraordinary path is related to the sea?"
"Even though he's always been the captain, it's possible that he's playing some kind of role and using that to absorb the potion's power."
Chu Yang couldn't help but speculate.
Whether the relevant inferences are correct is beyond his control.
At least this process of deduction can help him process his own appearance.
He is currently just a reasoning student, and should focus more on the reasoning process rather than the result.
As for focusing on results, that's something that should be considered during the sequential period.
In the end, Chu Yang chose to listen to advice and returned to the room with Miss Xiu.
When the siren sounded again the next morning, the Deepsea had safely reached its destination.
Of course, this was just Chu Yang and his companion's destination. After resupplying here, the Deep Sea Ship would continue its voyage.
These things have nothing to do with Chu Yang and the other person.
Chu Yang and his companion had already wasted three and a half days on the road.
"Let's go, let's go see the person who commissioned the mission first."
Chu Yang and his companion didn't bring much luggage; each of them carried a suitcase to their destination.
Manhattan's old friend, who is also the person who commissioned the task, is a school principal.
The principal was probably around fifty years old and wore a pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses.
Every strand of hair was neatly styled, and paired with his slightly serious face, he was clearly a very well-behaved gentleman.
Chu Yang and his companion were led to the reception room by servants.
As soon as Mr. Abdul sat down, he got straight to the point.
"I have received a telegram from Manhattan, and I know that you are the ones who are in charge of the executive commission."
"I was indeed very disappointed in you, but Manhattan praised his students in the telegram."
"I don't think Mr. Chu Yang will disappoint me, will he?"
Abdu's gaze was fixed on Chu Yang.
"Don't worry, sir, I won't tarnish my teacher's reputation."
"We're not entirely clear on the specifics of what you've entrusted to us, and you don't seem to be in a hurry."
Chu Yang responded in the same serious tone, his expression remaining extremely indifferent.
He was trying to put into practice his teacher's suggestion to use facial expressions to disguise his true inner thoughts.
"This matter isn't urgent, but it's difficult."
"I've quoted your tutor £1,300."
Mr. Abdul became extremely serious.
Chu Yang was somewhat surprised to hear the price of 1,300 pounds.
"Sir, what are the specifics of the mission? What do you mean by 'difficult'? Is this mission dangerous?"
Chu Yang straightened his attitude and began to ask questions carefully.
Abdul did not answer directly, but instead took out a yellow piece of paper that had been prepared in advance from a drawer next to him.
This piece of paper contains a standard contract template.
There were only some special symbols engraved on the edges of the paper.
These symbols represent the emblems of a particular religious sect.
There are even ancient characters written in Fergus Secret Language on it.
"This mission isn't particularly dangerous, but you'll need to sign a contract with me before you know its contents."
"This contract is an extraordinary item that has been certified by the extraordinary sequence. Only by signing its contents can the confidentiality of this matter be guaranteed."
"Mr. Chu Yang, you are not Manhattan after all. Please forgive me, but I do not trust either of you."
Although Mr. Abdul's words were unpleasant, Chu Yang and his companion could understand them.
However, before signing, they also need to carefully observe and examine every clause in the contract.
Fortunately, Mr. Abdul drafted the contract in a very simple manner.
The above only clearly defines the obligations and responsibilities of both parties.
Moreover, there was one that deeply resonated with Chu Yang.
The above indicates that if the person entrusted with the task perceives a danger that threatens their life, they can withdraw from the task at any time.
Alternatively, after the task details are explained, the person being commissioned may feel incapable of fulfilling the task and may terminate it at any time.
Of course, this means the person being commissioned will only receive a very small amount of compensation.
With the extraordinary power bound by the contract, Abdu was not worried at all that Chu Yang and the other two would reveal the details of the mission after refusing it.
The main task is for Chu Yang and his companion to guide Mr. Apdu through a maze.
Furthermore, it specifies in detail which part of the maze they need to lead Abdul to.
"What's going on with this maze?"
Chu Yang keenly noticed the lack of detail in the contract.
"I can only assure you that, as stated in the contract, there will be absolutely no danger while you are guiding me through the maze."
"I cannot disclose anything else about the labyrinth."
"I have explored this maze many times, and apart from the difficulty of reaching the end, I haven't encountered any kind of threat."
Abdul then explained two more points in detail. (End of Chapter)
