Chapter 1382 (2/2)
”I don't have to. I'm not as fit as I used to be. No one wants the hired crew to die for nothing, because it will affect the whole empty boat. After that, I may work in the roaring area and take charge of some basic training. When they get older and can't carry anything, they should be driven out. They don't need old people. ”
The worker doesn't care about it. He has gone through life and death six times. He looks at many things very lightly, and his words are full of indifference.
Cheese no longer talked about this topic, he pointed to almost invisible fish, ”what are those fish? Are they common around here? ”
”The lady next to you may give you another name, but we all call it the dropper. This kind of fish swims down the waterfall at night around the autumnal equinox every year. It is said that they are the result of ghosts who died in the river, because you see, these fish can't go back against the waterfall when they fly down from the waterfall, but they have them every year. It's totally unreasonable, isn't it? ”
The worker shrugged and introduced.
”They might have gone upstream through an underground river, or they might have laid eggs before they jumped down the waterfall. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they're not ghosts. ” Weiya came up behind them and broke into each other's words.”Of course, you're right. I'm a vulgar superstition.” The worker bowed his head to salute the female mage, but the corners of his mouth cocked up when he bent down. This kind of surrender is only in form, and those who have conquered the waterfall will not be afraid of anything.
”If you need to know anything, you can come and ask me. This is the third time I've been in an empty boat. Even by their standards, I've already finished. ”
Weiya seems to be dissatisfied with the conversation between the cheese and the workers. In her opinion, it's a kind of distrust. Grey robe would rather ask the dock labors who didn't know anything than himself. For a learned mage, it's not very acceptable.
”I'm sorry, I just do it as I please. I don't think so much about it.” Cheese stood up and nodded to the worker as she followed Weiya away. The latter smiles and even shows some sympathy for cheese.
”We will arrive in the city before midnight, hotels and other matters. I have already said hello to the city, and someone will guide you and your companions.”
The female mage looked back at the state of the other two empty boats and said to the cheese, ”thanks to you just now, otherwise we might have fallen down. I haven't seen this happen in the last two rides, probably because there are more goods in those two carriages. ”
”It's perfectly normal to go on the road in this way and take a little risk. However, to see this picture, I think any risk is acceptable. The person who designed this kind of mobile mode must be a lunatic, a genius lunatic. ”
”In fact, the archetype of the empty boat was originally a kind of punishment for rushing. The sentenced person would be tied to a stake and washed down the waterfall with the raft. Until later, someone escaped death in a similar way, the penalty gradually evolved into an emergency means of escape. There are many empty boats in the roaring area, many of which are prepared by powerful people in the city. After all, no one can jump down from the waterfall to pursue
Grey robe nodded, his hands on the railing, overlooking the scenery below, sighing at the impermanence of the world.
It's surprising that the cruelest punishment becomes the most incredible way to travel by chance.
