Chapter 727: A Hitchhike


    Trantor: WQL Editor: Aleem


    When the 50,000-ton ship Narwhal from Sinaira Ind to Saint Herner Ind was only about 200 nautical miles away from Saint Herner Ind, a guestnded on a small observation stand of the highest deck quietly.


    The sea wind at dawn was a bit cold, especially on the highest observation stand of Narwhal. Therefore, besides noontime and afternoon when some travelers would enjoy the seascape over there, nobody was there in the evening and in the morning.


    Except for Zhang Tie.


    Given the direction, Zhang Tie knew that it was heading for Saint Herner Ind. Additionally, as this ce was not far from Saint Herner Ind, Zhang Tie directlynded onto the free passenger liner.


    Narwhal was a luxury liner. The snowwhitecquer, the rows of tidy huge portholes, the long body, the three multi-functional swimming pools of different sizes on the ship and the lounge chairs and sunshades on the three decks indicated the high ticket price and the economic power of passengers.


    Zhang Tie had traveled by sea many times. He knew thatmon passenger liner would never have swimming pools.


    There was truly a heavy wind on the highest observation stand. The moment Zhang Tiended on and put away his battle qi, his hair had been a mess.


    Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he walked towards the stairs on his side.


    The moment he arrived at the stairway had he seen a young sailor thudding upstairs with a bucket and a towel while water was dpidating inside. They almost collided with each other.


    "Ahh, sorry, sir..." The sailor hurriedly moved to the left of the stairs at the sight of Zhang Tie, giving way to Zhang Tie as he kept apologizing to Zhang Tie.


    "It doesn’t matter!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he walked downstairs.


    Until Zhang Tie reached the bottom of the stairs had the sailor be dubious as he scratched his head and murmured, "Strange, the director said he saw nobody here just now; therefore, he called me upstairs to clean the handrails of the observing stand. Didn’t the director see this man?"


    Of course, the young sailor would not report it to the director as he didn’t want to find trouble. After shaking his head, he didn’t care about it anymore.


    After walking off the observation stand, Zhang Tie saw the schematic diagram of this luxury liner on the wall of the aisle. As it was arge ship, for the convenience of the passengers, many ces on this ship were marked with its diagram.


    This passenger liner was matched with dining rooms, bars, theaters, gambling houses, gyms and beauty parlors. After reading the diagram, Zhang Tie knew it was called Narwhal. After finding the location of the bar, Zhang Tie walked towards it.


    The bars and entertainment facilities in this luxury liner were avable around the clock.


    The aisle was paved with a bright yellow carpet. Even the deck was paved with afortable wooden floor. As it was early morning, most of the passengers had just gotten up. Gradually, the ship became boisterous. He met many passengers on the ship, given whose dresses and styles of conversation, Zhang Tie knew they were rich people.


    "My Barbie and Boddey need to walk half an hour a day. Attention, don’t take them to high ces in case they catch cold. Just walk them on the lowest deck. After that, you need to prepare a medium-cooked steak fried with olive oil; no spice. Prepare a fried salmon; remember to remove its bones; daub some cherry jam from Kolin Ind onto the fish. After they finish their food, remember to massage them for 20 minutes!"


    "Alright, what else can I do for you, Madam Martina?"


    "Hmm, nothing else for the time being!"


    At this time, a hatch door in front of Zhang Tie opened when a 50-odd servant in formal dress and white gloves waited outside the door. Closely after that, he pulled out two big dogs. At the sight of Zhang Tie, he hurriedly dragged the dogs to one side. Zhang Tie threw a nce at the two dogs. Closely after that, the dogs moved to the left side of the aisle kindly, giving way to Zhang Tie.


    ...


    Zhang Tie came to the bar on the 2nd floor. Although the bar was still running, it only had few guests.


    Only two groups of guests were in the bar. Some gentlemen were sitting around one table while a young couple was sitting at the other table who were leaning against each other, watching the seascape through the window and whispering something.


    A girl in longuette was ying piano in the bar. As a result, the entire bar was filled with a melodious piano music. A beautiful female bartender was wiping sses behind the counter while a beautiful waitress in an alluring kilt was greeting guests. Those men were attracted by her beautiful legs.


    As soon as Zhang Tie sat on a rtively remote seat next to a window, the beautiful waitress walked towards here while twisting her waist. The waitress released a youthful enthusiasm which could fascinate any men.


    "Sir, what do you want to drink?"


    "Whatever!"


    "Hmm, are you new here?"


    "Yup!"


    "How about a ss of seabuckthorn wine?"


    "Fine!"


    Before the waitress left while twisting her waist, she couldn’t help but throw a couple of nces at Zhang Tie.


    Zhang Tie touched his face. Actually, he had not seen his new look; however, he knew it should be maturer than his original look. ’Based on the temte provided by Heller, this new look should not be too ugly.’


    After a short while, the beautiful waitress served a ss of wine to Zhang Tie. The moment he sipped it, he identified the familiar taste——mutated seabuckthorn fruit, a species that was produced in Castle of ck Iron.


    "Hmm, this wine tastes nice. Did you get it from Ice and Snow Wilderness?" Zhang Tie asked the waitress with a smile.


    "Yes!"


    "The seabuckthorn wine in the Ice and Snow Wilderness didn’t taste so good before!"


    "Yes. Previously, very few seabuckthorn wines in Ice and Snow Wilderness were sold to Ewentra Archipgo. However, a new seabuckthorn tree appeared in Ice and Snow Wilderness a few years ago. The wine brewed by the new seabuckthorn fruits tastes much better than that before. Therefore, it is even sold to Ewentra Archipgo!" The waitress exined passionately as she fondled her hair in a womanly way. From her eyes, Zhang Tie saw a familiar thing, which had nothing to do with wealth and reputation, but full of feminine charm.


    "Oh, thank you!" Zhang Tie smiled as he raised his ss, "May I invite you for a drink as a part of my thanks?"


    "Not now. We’re not allowed to drink in working time!" The waitress shook her head as she added, "But I will be off duty in half an hour. Someone will rece me then. Will your invitation still be effective after half an hour?"


    "Of course!"


    The waitress smiled.


    At this moment, some new guests entered. The waitress then walked towards them before ogling towards Zhang Tie.


    Of course, the new seabuckthorn fruit was different than those before. The new ones were bigger and sweeter with some aura values. The wine brewed by such new fruits would definitely taste much better than those before. As he tasted the wine, Zhang Tie was thinking, ’Now that this buckthorn wine has been exported to Ewentra Archipgo from Ice and Snow Wilderness, the new seabuckthorn trees must have been nted in arge area of Ice and Snow Wilderness; those residents in Ice and Snow Wilderness must have a greater reliance on the new seabuckthorn trees. My dream is graduallying true.’


    ’Additionally, I’ve left No. 1 earthworms and No. 1 soybeans in Ice and Snow Wilderness. During the past 5 years, they should have expanded.’


    ’Besides des, there is another mild way to conquer others——reliance!’


    ’If you rely on something, you will be conquered by it.’


    Zhang Tie’s eyes turned profound...


    As for those gentlemen in the far, they were discussing one thing that Zhang Tie was interested in. Therefore, Zhang Tie just leaned against the sofa and drank the wine as he watched the seascape through the window and listened to their conversation. Meanwhile, he started to recall what he had experienced during the past day.


    ’Last night, I was in the Zhang’s old mansion in the Golden Sea City of Huaiyuan Prefecture; this morning, I arrived at Ewentra Archipgo. After that, I went to the Demon Snake Ind, then Stars and Moons Ind. After exterminating the dark force that had existed in Ewentra Archipgo for many years, I watched the seascape, listened to the music and drank the wine in the bar of Narwhal. What an unimaginable knight’s life! Perhaps, this was why knights made people crazy for——freedom. After bing a knight, I have few limits. I could change many people’s fates so easily...’


    Zhang Tie was fascinated by such a feeling...


    Those men were discussing a major event that happened in Akray Ind these days——After joining hands with each other, the major ns in Ewentra Archipgo wanted to establish an Ewentra Archipgo Parliament in Akray Ind. This event was indeed influential for those forces across Ewentra Archipgo which were always in a loose state.
