Chapter 52: The Long-Awaited Bounty
On the west side of Seagull Island's harbor, a huge and magnificent merchant ship occupied the entire area of the harbor. There were no small fishing boats around it, nor any fishermen drying their nets. Some guards wearing Hopody-style palace guard uniforms from Western Earth stood neatly on both sides of the gangway.
One by one, the nobles and noblewomen wearing luxurious clothes or evening gowns stepped onto the gangway, the noblemen holding expensive pocket watches in their hands, while the noblewomen wore dazzling precious jewels around their necks and ears.
"It seems like a big shot has arrived on my merchant ship. How did that woman manage to get tickets?"
After Luo Chuhang set sail, Hobodi and the others also chose to prepare for departure to Donghai. This merchant ship started from Nanhai, passed through Xihai and Beihai, and finally arrived at Luogezhen in Donghai.
Monet licked his lips: "These people, one person can completely kill them all, what's there to worry about?"
"Monet, as a clerical secretary, you should be more restrained, we are ordinary people now."
"Is Aruka and Debi? Hehehe~" Mona habitually covered her mouth, smiling lightly.
"Get on board! Hold my hand, don't forget our identities, we are now husband and wife."
"Yes, master~" Mona said intentionally.
Hobodi and Monet stood side by side, Monet's hands wrapped around Hobodi's arm. The couples in front of them took out their tickets one after another to board the ship, and soon it was their turn. The guards standing on both sides of the gangway took their tickets: "Are you Baron Aiyuka and Madame Dewey? Your room is 302 on the deck below the cabin, one floor down. Here's the key."
After finishing speaking, the guard handed the ticket back to Hobbit's hand, and the two boarded this huge merchant ship.
Before long, Hobbit and the other found their own room, a simple room, about half the size of Luo's hospital ward, with a bed, a table and a chair, and a bathroom next to the door, in short, daily necessities were quite complete.
As soon as they entered, the two immediately dropped their disguise.
"Baron-sama...?" Mona asked with a hint of amusement.
Hobodi sat on a table in the shabby room: "Don't mock me at this time, I don't know what's going on either. Pour me a glass of water, Monet."
"Yes!"
Hobbit took the water and drank it all in one gulp, then pulled out from his pocket the drift bottle that Luo had handed over to him earlier, which was covered with moss, and placed it on the table: "What do you think of that letter?"
"Is the master speaking of Klockdal?"
"No, put the Crookdale business aside, it's the one before that."
Monet was taken aback, his hand on his lips, looking up and thinking: "Is it the sentence 'whether the ocean is connected or maintained like this?'"
"Hmm. Honestly, the oceanic structure of this world is too absurd. The Red Soil Continent has divided the oceans into several parts, making it inconvenient to navigate even in the Four Seas, let alone the harsh conditions of the so-called 'Graveyard' of great navigation routes. I have a deep understanding of this!"
As a traverser from the past, Hoboldi certainly has a deep understanding. On Earth in his previous life, no matter what East Sea, West Sea, North Sea and so on, as long as he had the pass issued by the ruler of those seas, he could travel freely, which is not like this world at all.
"I don't quite understand, but everyone is used to it like this. Why bring up the question suddenly?" Mona stood behind Hobodi, her body uncomfortably twisting, her hands starting to massage Hobodi's shoulders, as if hinting at something.
"Should we continue like this, or must something be done?" Hobodi muttered to himself, feeling a light tap on his shoulder, and immediately frowned: "Monet, no small movements. We just boarded the ship!"
"But the master doesn't want to, right?"
"This is broad daylight!"
"Ah, oh, darling, you're so great..." The moaning of a woman came from next door, and Monet couldn't help but lean in close to Hobody's ear: "See, others have already started. Master Baron..."
Hoboldi's face turned black, and he began to suspect that using such a method to train Monet in the first place was not worth it for himself. This didn't look like any secretary at all.
Hoboldy pushed her away and immediately stood up from the chair, commanding: "You go get the newspapers from the past twenty days from the front desk of the cabin. For these twenty days, in order to train Dinya, neither you nor I have seen any reports about my bounty. Your matter will be discussed later!"
"Can we continue once you bring it in?"
"You've got 30 seconds, go!" Hobodi said in a low voice.
Monet covered his mouth in surprise and walked out with joy. About half a minute later, Monet walked in with a pile of newspapers in his hands.
"This is last month's newspaper. Master~"
Hobbs sat back in his chair, the newspapers piled on the desk one by one opening, Hobbs found that these were all large reports of "World Deck" company.
On the day he set sail for his voyage across the North Sea, twenty-seven days ago.
"Supernova Captain 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace of the Blackbeard Pirates refuses to join the World Government's Shichibukai!"
Monk D, Potter C... Are people with the letter D in their name all so talented? Indeed, it's the main character faction. Hoboldi felt a bit displeased looking at the newspaper with the picture of that cowboy hat-wearing, acne-ridden face and threw the paper into the trash can.
Then turned to the second week's newspaper, this time it was about some situations in the new world and government scientific research.
"It's unreasonable! If we're talking about our report, it should be due this second week. Didn't that Drake guy pass on my words?"
Skip directly, Hobody looks for information about them in the third week's newspaper, but there is still no report about them, and the newspaper is thrown into the basket.
The last one, Fourth Weekly Report.
"Rommel's Reaper Reappears, Navy Rear Admiral-led Investigation Team Annihilated!" Headline of the fourth week, followed by a small line that vaguely mentions "North Sea Minion Island suspected to have reappeared nine years ago."
And then... and then there was no more after that.
"Rommel's scythe?"
He came to Beihai just to deliberately expose King's identity and let the Navy and the underworld know this name.
He changed his disguise several times, 'Qiao Bo Yi', including the current A Yu Jia, were all to make it so that once the identity of 'King' was investigated by others, they would not be able to find any connection with him from Dong Hai. Later on, he could use both identities to move freely between the black and white worlds.
However, their report was never mentioned and King's identity remained unknown.
What he's doing now is just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand thinking there's no danger, it's simply stupid.
"Let's not be angry, okay? Let's do something fun instead?" Mona wrapped one arm around Hoboldy's neck and stretched the other to his calf, suddenly picking up a black underwear stained with water marks and placing it in front of Hoboldy: "Look, master."
"Monet, I advise you not to provoke me at this time." Hobodi stood up, his face expressionless as he looked at her.
"Come on, don't mind those unpleasant things." Monet was unmoved, his face flushed red, both hands grasping Hobardy's chest, pushing him onto the bed.
In a short while, in the cabin room, a lively and beautiful melody of men and women suddenly sounded...
The two of them were completely unaware that a small person, about ten centimeters tall, had quietly crawled out of Hobody's pocket and was staring blankly at the two naked people on the bed, covering his eyes with both hands.
"Do all adults like being naked?"
The ship set sail slowly, heading towards the Sea of Peace.
