Chapter 95 The Night on the Deck
Rhodes was tossing and turning in bed, not because of the constant rocking of the boat, but because he always thought of learning from Michel during the day that he hadn't actually rescued the female knight at all.

He didn't feel sleepy after lying down for a long time, and he was embarrassed to hug Yuan Shouyi cross-legged in front of so many people.

He stood up gently from the bed and put on his shoes.

Close the door softly and walk towards the stairs leading to the deck.

As soon as he got on the deck, a cool breeze blew in his face. Compared with staying in the stuffy room before, Rhodes felt much more comfortable.

"Why did you come here?" Rhodes recognized the captain's voice.

"Can't sleep, come up and blow the wind." Rhodes turned around and replied.

This ship is somewhat similar to the Jackdaw in a game produced by a company that buys bugs and gives away games, but it does not fly a black flag.

The similarity is that the rudders are all on the deck, and there is no shelter above the head. Regardless of the wind and rain, you have to stand on the deck to control the direction of the ship.

He originally thought that such a silly design would only appear in games, but he didn't expect to see it in this world as well.

"It seems that you, like me, like to stay on the deck at night and enjoy the wind." The captain sat on a wooden barrel beside the rudder.

The river is different from the sea, the rudder basically does not need to be moved, and only needs to be fine-tuned from time to time.

They were coming down the current now, and the wind was blowing in just the right direction.Relying on the current and sail, the speed of the ship is also faster.

Rhodes also found a wooden barrel to sit on.

"It's okay, mainly because I can't sleep." He replied perfunctorily.

"Haha, I like you very much. I really don't know how a young man like my nephew can sleep at night." The captain smiled boldly.

Rhodes didn't know how to answer these words. If he was familiar with him, it would be strange for Rhodes to say him.

"I don't know your name yet, my name is Quentin," the captain said again.

"Rod."

Rhodes almost blurted out, why isn't your name Kunka?

"I used to know several people named Rhodes."

"There are indeed many people with this name."

"Are you also going to Gulfstream City to participate in the competition?" Quentin took a sip from a jug of wine on the ground.

It's not good to drive a boat after drinking, the captain has a glass of wine, and the relatives cry.

"What tournament?" Rhodes asked, he could smell the smell of wine from such a distance, as if it was wine.

"Don't you know about the five-year competition in Gulfstream City?" Quentin asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Rhodes shook his head.

"Well, I saw that you brought a horse, and I thought some of you were going to a knight's tournament." Quentin took another sip of his wine.

"None of us was conferred knighthood," Rhodes replied.

In this world, knights are a kind of title, and they can also own a small piece of land.

"The knight I'm talking about is just a popular way of saying, this knight competition, no matter if you are a freerider or a mercenary cavalry, as long as you have a horse and armor, you can participate." Quentin took another sip of wine, "I think you can go Give it a try. There are four of you, and if you find another person, you can participate in the group competition. The group competition has a lot of bonuses, like 1 gold coins. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely participate."

Rhodes looked up and down Quentin, who drank like water, and felt that he was definitely not over 40 years old and in his prime. It happened that his strength had not declined, and his experience was richer than that of young people. Now should be the best time to fight. .

"I still remember that year, when I became the champion of unarmed combat in Haiyan City..." Quentin sat on a wooden barrel and held a flagon with a look of memory, "Countless noble girls cheered for me, and there are many People confessed to me, but unfortunately I rejected them mercilessly."

Could it be that people who love to drink love to brag? This reminded him of Baron.

"And then?" Rhodes still asked.

"Afterwards, I exchanged the prize money I got for this boat. Although it is now on the river, it was actually a sea boat at first. My dream when I was young was to conquer the sea, but some accidents happened later." Kun Ting picked up the jug and drank all the wine in the jug in one go.

"You met a pirate and got shot in the knee?" Rhodes asked.

"No, I was caught in a storm and the boat almost capsized. The god of the sea blesses us, and we survived by luck. After that, I decided to practice my boating skills in the inland river before conquering the sea." Quentin said.

"It's a pity that when your boat skills become better, you are no longer young, and the years have smoothed your edges and corners?"

"Little brother, you really know me so well, I should have known you earlier." Quentin excitedly stood up from the barrel, walked up to Rhodes and patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said.

Rhodes was almost fainted by Quentin's alcohol, he suppressed his nausea and said, "What do you think is conquering the sea?"

"Of course to the end of the sea." Quentin replied without thinking.

"Believe it or not, if you sail in one direction, you can come back in the end."

Although Rhodes didn't know if he was on a planet, he was always curious.

"I don't believe it, although I haven't read the book." Quentin kept shaking his head.

"Then what do you think is the end of the sea?" Rhodes asked.

"Of course it's a world barrier, it should be the same as the northernmost one in Nord." Quentin said as a matter of course.

"What is the world barrier?" Rhodes asked curiously. He remembered that the friend of the owner of the tomb at the beginning asked him to go all the way north, saying that he was needed, but there were too many things, and he never had the chance to go.

Before, he planned to go all the way north to see what was going on in the far north after sending Weber home to retire. After so many things happened, he almost forgot.

"It's a very high black wall, so high that the dragon can't fly. If you have the chance, you must go and see it. Except for a very few idle and boring adventurers, only those born in the Extreme North Province like me Only people in the north can see it," Quentin said.

"This world barrier has always existed? Why hasn't it become common sense?" Rhodes asked again.

"Basically no troubadour would go to that kind of place, where there is no money to be made, and there are no well-known legends. And these things are said through the mouths of adventurers, and others will only take them as a joke when they hear them, and finally become a Mysterious legends in taverns. My hometown is so cold that I can’t leave the fireside in winter.” Quentin explained.

The amount of information tonight is a bit large. Rhodes didn't expect that this world doesn't seem to be a planet. There are so many things that he can't understand. How do the sun and the moon move periodically?
Or is it that the so-called world barrier is actually similar to the wall inside Attack on Titan, to protect the creatures inside?If so, who created such a thing?And to guard against something?
Rhodes couldn't think of the answer, so he had to wait for the opportunity to go and see for himself...
