Chapter 5043: ancestors of hospitality

Because they blocked the way the red monkeys were chasing, they were temporarily safe. As the chief designer of the sewer project in Gotham Town, Edmund had a strong understanding of the layout and direction of underground buildings. He only roughly distinguished After giving directions, he led everyone to his home.

There are already four major families in Gotham Town today, and the Wayne family is one of them, but Edmund, as the current head of the family, does not live in a big house in the town like other nobles.

He brought a few people to the pier, and then boarded a clipper ship with five masts, which was the flagship of a fleet, and the admiral's flag in the shape of the letter W was hung on the top of the mast.

Yes, as an adventurer and captain, Edmund, who is still single now, has no fixed residence at all, or his ship is his home and office.

Clipper ships are notoriously fast. Relatively speaking, their cargo capacity is much less than that of galleons. In this era, many people use them for smuggling, and most naval warships even follow its shadow. not on.

However, for an explorer, the cargo capacity is not a big problem at all. Rare things are the most expensive thing to make money. A few pieces of gold are worth more than a whole boat of fruit.

Therefore, such a large ship is quite spacious for people to live in. After a few years, when the technology matures, it can be replaced with an iron-clad ship.

Several people boarded the sailboat from the wooden boards, walked into the cabin, walked through the dark corridor, and walked to the captain's cabin on the poop.

"Sir, is that you?"

There was no one on board, because it was in a mooring state, and the sailors were all on vacation. There was only one child who looked a little fat. This was an orphan raised by Edmund and used as a follower.

Hearing some movement, he walked out of his house and came out with a kerosene lamp and a machete in his hand to inquire, but his eyes were covered with gum, which greatly affected his vision.

In this day and age, even if you are next to the town, there is no safety at all. Even if you don’t encounter robbers every day, thieves will often patronize you. Although this little fat man is a bit fat, he is actually a good fighter. He is like Batman. Robin next to him, just not wearing a uniform, and probably couldn't fit into a standard-sized uniform.

"Yes, it is I, boy, to light the light in the captain's cabin, and go to the galley to prepare something for me and my guests for the evening."

Lord Ancestor patted the boy on the back and motioned him to prepare. Now that the boy is awake, there is no need to do everything by himself.

Especially after the duel with Jack, he was attacked by a red-haired monkey and finally returned to a safe place. Now that the adrenaline rush has subsided, Edmund feels very tired.

Monkeys should not be very good at swimming, right? Take a short rest, and then everyone weighs anchor and sails, and it is safer to sail the ship to the open sea.

"Yes, my lord."

The master came back in the middle of the night, and the boy was used to it. He nimbly led the way and entered the captain's cabin. Then he lit the candles and oil lamps fixed on the wall one by one, and then stood at the door to invite the guests to enter.

It's just that he sniffed his nose a few times secretly, his eyes fell on Deadpool, and he turned his face away in disgust.

"Okay, everyone, please take a seat. The boat is a bit rough, so please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Edmund walked to his desk, put the suitcase into the cabinet, and said this to his new friends with a smile.

But in fact, his captain's cabin is unbelievably luxurious, not only has the most fashionable decoration of the current era, the most expensive materials, but also the cultural relics and treasures he has found from all over the world.

This is a room that combines luxury and art, and it is very comfortable, but the boat is swaying with the waves, making people a little sleepy.

"Wow, hello Versailles, the last time I went to play on someone else's private yacht, it was Tony Stark's boat. He doesn't have your luxury there."

Deadpool walked to the beautiful red velvet sofa, sat down, and lay dead in a Ge You-like posture:

"I like it here, man, maybe I should suggest that my rich cousin also get a sailboat for fun, as expected, the sea is a man's romance."

The **** spoke English, but Edmund still didn't understand many words, but this did not affect his mental understanding of those meanings, so he nodded with a smile:

"You are right, the sea is the home of pure men. If your cousin is also rich, you can order a super clipper that is exactly the same as mine. If it is built in Hamburg Shipyard, I will If you have acquaintances, it can be cheaper, and it looks like three million pounds including the interior decoration."

He is really generous, even if the smelly man stains his sofa, he doesn't mind.

Deadpool didn't react after hearing this, but Batman, who quietly walked to the corner in the darkness, shook his head.

He had read the diary left by this ancestor before, and he probably knew what kind of person he was. He was confident and capable, and now it seemed that he should add a line of spending money like water.

The time everyone is now in is June 7, 1861, and as far as Batman knows, the total military expenditure of the British Navy this year is less than nine million pounds.

That includes the shipbuilding costs of dozens of fleets around the world, the wages of the national navy, and the cost of a whole year.

Next, before waiting for the little fat man to bring refreshments, Edmund didn't intend to say anything serious. He just told Wade and Diana who were interested in the material selection of his ship and why it was so expensive. value.

Since the keel of the boat is the tallest tree in the South American rainforest, it is said that dozens of saws were used up to cut it down, and it took a month on the road to drag it out from the depths of the rainforest.

As for the selection of its sails, they are the best silk fabrics from the Celestial Dynasty. You may not be able to see them clearly at night, but in fact, there are gold thread embroidery on the five main sails.

Then he talked about his own figurehead, the skeleton holding a spear that seemed to be flying. This is where he found the sinking place of the Blackbeard flagship and spent a lot of time and money to salvage it. The figurehead of the Queen Anne's Revenge ~www.NovelMTL.com~ As an explorer, he loves his boat very much, wants to put the best things on it, and thinks that everyone else likes boats, so he talks endlessly.

Well, Deadpool does, but mostly because he's from the future.

He wanted to know now, where did Edmund's ship sink in the future? It’s not bad to work as a part-time diver by yourself, at least my cousin must like the prow, and I’ll pick it up and sell it to him, so I don’t even have to look for a market.

Diana is really interested, because she likes boats, after all, they are Amazons, islanders.

At this time, the little fat man brought black tea and snacks, interrupting Edmund's one-sided storytelling behavior, and the ancestors also realized that it was time to get down to business. Those red-haired monkeys haven't chased after this time, so there is a high probability that I won't come to the beach anymore.

"Go and sleep, I have something to discuss with the guest."

He sent the little fat man away, and motioned everyone to sit down at the coffee table. It's time to talk about their identities and why they came.
