Chapter 96 Life on board

Rhodes sat on the barrel and chatted with Quentin all night. Quentin has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot, and has been to many places that most people would never go in their lifetime.

After chatting with him all night, Rhodes had a clearer understanding of the world.

There are actually two continents in this world, or only two have been discovered so far.

But the communication between the two continents is not very close, even if both continents are controlled by humans.

The other continent is to the west of the Fish Kingdom, and it takes more than three months of sailing on the sea to reach it. The continent where Rhodes is located is called the land of the gods by the people of that continent.

Everyone is used to calling that continent the Velen Continent.This is because the Velen Empire ruled the entire territory of that continent a long time ago, and the continent was named after it.

However, hundreds of years ago, the Chaos Knights from the Land of the Gods sailed westward to sweep the Velen Continent, and the Velen Empire fell as a result.

In the following decades, the people of the Velen Continent continued to resist, and the strength of the Chaos Knights dropped sharply as a result. In the end, they had to withdraw from the Velen Continent and retreat to an archipelago to recuperate.

Up to now, it is the Second Empire of Velen that rules the Villen Continent.

The continent of Velen was even more backward than the continent where Rhodes was located. It was still in the ignorant slave era. The slaves had no human rights at all, and some slaves might not have had enough to eat in their entire lives.

There are also buildings such as the arena and the Colosseum in the city, allowing slave owners to enjoy the fighting between gladiators and between gladiators and beasts in the stands.

The area of ​​the Vinylon Continent is much smaller than that of the Land of the Gods, but it is more dangerous. All kinds of strange creatures roam around, which is why the people of the Vinylon Continent call this continent the Land of the Gods.

"You said that, have you been there before?" Rhodes yawned.

"Not now, I heard from others, but I will go in the future, and I will go to the sea further west of Velen Continent until I reach the world barrier." Quentin said excitedly.

"Well, after you get there, I can still tell others in the tavern that I know a warrior who successfully conquered the sea." Rhodes complimented.

"I like you very much, kid." Quentin laughed and patted Rhodes on the shoulder.

"Where can I find something to eat on the boat? I'll go to bed after eating something." Rhodes stood up and stretched.

"I'll take you there later, and wait for someone to take my place."

"Is there no chief mate on your ship?" Rhodes asked.

"What is a first mate?" Quentin looked at Rhodes curiously.

"Forget it, it's nothing. Then who will replace you when you sleep?" Rhodes asked again.

"It depends on my mood. I can let whoever I want come." Quentin replied proudly.

From the previous conversation, Rhodes knew why Quentin didn't look respected on the ship.

The main reason is that he has a very good temper, and the people on board are all his relatives of the younger generation, either his nephew or his nephew, and he watched them grow up.He doesn't have the airs of an elder in front of the younger generation, just like Baron and Rhodes.At home, he was the grown-up that all the kids loved.

Although the people on the boat didn't seem to respect him very much on the surface.But at critical moments, everyone on board will completely obey his arrangements, even if they are asked to do something they think is stupid.

Compared with Baron, Quentin has a much better temper. No matter how his gang of juniors teased him, he never lost his temper.Not only to his juniors, but to any Nords, even if they don't know each other.

If mercenaries or adventurers from other countries dare to tease him, he will give them a good lesson and let them know that his size is not for nothing.

This made Rhodes feel a little strange, and he didn't know why there was such a strange person.

"Uncle, go and have a rest, I'll take your place." A young crew member boarded the deck and walked to the rudder.

"How many times have I told you, call me the captain on the boat, don't call me uncle." Quentin stood up staggeringly, he drank a lot of wine in one night, more than Rhodes drank all day more.

"Don't help me, I'm not drunk yet, I'm sober now." Quentin shook off the hand that the young crew member extended to help him.

"I just want to go down to rest now, so I'll take him down." Rhodes said, and he grabbed Quentin who was about to fall drunk to the ground.

"That will trouble you." The young crew member said shyly.

Rhodes helped Quentin back to the cabin.

"Send me there. That's the place to eat. I gave up my room to that little girl. I'll lie down on the table and rest after eating." Quentin said, pointing in one direction.

Rhodes didn't understand why many people like to get drunk.He also experienced the hangover feeling, which was very uncomfortable and hurt the liver.

Walking into the dining room, the air is filled with the smell of barbecue.

"You are lucky, you can eat the barbecue made by John on the first day." Quentin found an armchair and sat on it.

"What meat are you grilling?" Rhodes walked over to take two plates and sat down next to Quentin.

"Lamb, I like the lamb roasted by John the most. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Once you bite down, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of gravy." Quentin took a sip of saliva while describing it.

Quentin picked up his knife and fork and started working on the roast on the plate.

With a knife down, Rhodes saw blood gushing out of the meat again, and Quentin dipped in the blood and ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls.

"Why don't you eat?" Quentin glanced at Rhodes and asked.

After traveling for so long, Rhodes is still not used to eating such half-baked food. It's not because he is afraid of parasites, but because he can't overcome the obstacles in his heart.

"I'd better just eat some bread, and I'll give you this plate too." Rhodes pushed the plate to Quentin, and then took some more bread from the basket.

"Then I won't be polite." Quentin smiled.

After eating a few pieces of bread, Rhodes went back to the big room where the crew lived and found the bed allocated to him and fell asleep. Baron didn't even talk to him.

……

"It's time to get up." Rhodes heard someone wake him up when he was drowsy.

"Go and have dinner first. If you want to sleep, wait until you finish your meal." Rhodes heard clearly that it was Baron's voice, and he was shaking him while talking.

Rhodes could only helplessly sit up from the bed.

"You go first, I know where it is, I'll go wash up first." Rhodes said while rubbing his eyes.

Rhodes simply washed up with the things in the room and went to the room where he ate in the morning.

Almost all the people on the ship are now gathered here, apart from the crew, there are also a few passengers on the same ship as them.

With the exception of Michel, no woman was on board, or like her, was still in the room.

"Come and sit here." Baron said loudly.

This room is not as empty as it was in the morning. Now it is in a mess. If you don't speak loudly, the other party can't hear what you are saying at all.

"When we get to Gulfstream City, how about we go to that tournament?" Baron said after Rhodes sat down.

"Shouldn't we escort Michel back to Glory City? How can we have time to participate in this tournament." Rhodes looked at Baron puzzled.

"This was proposed by Misel. Their knights are short of money, and now they have a good opportunity to make money. She doesn't want to miss it. The prize money for No.1 in the group competition is [-] gold coins. The four of us will find another person." You can participate. Even if [-] gold coins are divided equally between five people, each person will have [-] gold coins, which is more profitable than selling the dragon man's body last time." Baron explained to Rhodes.

"OK then."
