Chapter 233 Captain Jack

The Black Sea is no calmer than any narrow sea.

The land wind blowing from the inland can easily shake the spindle-shaped passenger ship equipped with screw propellers violently. Every bad stormy weather is a huge test for the "Homecoming".

The torrent of the sea slapped the hull, causing the passengers on the light deck to stagger.

At this time, the sunbathing female passengers all hid in the cabin, and the piano sound, singing and dancing in the performance room stopped abruptly.

In stormy weather, even the bravest sailors who fight the sea must immediately hoist the storm sail and cast the rope over the stern to ward off the terrible natural disaster.

Despite the howling wind and raging waves, the "Homecoming", driven by a powerful steam engine, still faced the storm with an upright and unyielding attitude.

But no matter how bad the weather is, the mysterious passenger Jack Sparrow, who lives in cabin 1045, maintains his living habits as always.

He prefers to be called "Captain" or "Captain Jack" over this name.

After growing up, own a boat of your own to challenge the sea. Probably every man has the dream of going to sea when he grows up.

It's amazing to be an adult at this age and still have that vision and intend to realize it.

Undoubtedly, this gentleman has a regular schedule. He wakes up at 8:40, washes up in 5 minutes, and then goes to the restaurant for dinner.

During the time before lunch, he always sat by the fence and read books. Some people noticed that they were all language textbooks, including Landis, Ryan, Saro, and the native language of the southern continent.

He seems to be a hard-working gentleman.

In the afternoon, the young Mr. Sparrow is always good at chatting with passengers from different regions. Anyone who talks to him will know that he is very knowledgeable and well-spoken.

He is not tall, and even looks a little thin. His soft and handsome features are paired with a pair of half-rim glasses, and he has a delicate mustache on his lips, which makes many people like his elegant temperament.

The pure accent of the royal capital of Göttinghagen shows that he was born in an extraordinary way, but he does not have the common bad habits of noble children.

"Captain Jack" never discriminates against people from different countries, even people of color are treated with courtesy, he treats people equally and friendly, and spends generously, but never to the point of waste.

The food in the kitchen of each meal must be carefully selected, fresh seafood and cream soup, plus a bottle of white wine from Lantis, the crew must let him enjoy the best service , Who told people to pay a high ticket fee.

And no matter how much each meal is, he never wastes a little food.

When he saw someone wasting food, he would definitely step forward and criticize such behavior.

What is truly respectable is that whenever Mr. Sparrow encounters charity, public welfare, or sponsorship activities, he will always donate quietly, or even donate anonymously.

Especially children from poor families are basically his donors.

Speaking of his recreational activities, it was probably playing poker with familiar passengers after dinner (a card game handed down from Miskar Stark University, which is popular because of its various ways of playing, and was later spread everywhere).

At this time, he will cheer up, hold his breath and concentrate his eyes, like a madman meeting someone to fight.

It was more like a war than a poker game, a contest against difficulties.

What Captain Jack did before the game was always to take down the opponent's momentum, so the gentleman always won when he was playing cards.

The reason why people call him a gentleman is precisely because the money he wins every time he plays cards is never put into his own bag, and most of it is used to donate to charitable activities and hardship foundations.

Almost all the people on board praised his noble character in private. Generally speaking, rich people like him don't have such kindness, while kindhearted people don't have such spare money.

And once it's 10 o'clock in the evening, it's time for this gentleman to sleep. Unless he encounters ocean volcanoes, giant tsunamis, and pirates robbing ships, this gentleman will never allow anyone to disturb him.

Day after day, there was never a half difference.

It is worth mentioning that every day at sunset, Jack Sparrow would stand at the stern of the ship and spend a quarter of an hour gazing into the distance, which is the far northern continent.

Some people said that he was missing his homeland, and some said that it was an act of believers who believed in the God of Storms. Those believers would always have weird behaviors to show their piety.

But one version that people believe more is that he is waiting for the arrival of his lover from afar.

Some people are sure that he is Baiyan, his accent is enough to tell this, but he is not necessarily from Göttinghagen.

Because no one has ever seen a cruise ship or airship under the name of "Mr. Jack Sparrow" in the Wangdu Wharf area or all the ports and docks in the West End.

Those things are the calling card of every high-society gentleman.

But he was able to share exactly the experience of the Hohenzollern royal family's royal boats and private boats. Compared with the two ships, the emerging bourgeoisie pays more attention to comfort, and the more majestic royal airship is more rigid and more majestic. lackluster.

He was unquestionably a learned gentleman, as anyone who came in contact with him would say.

When someone talks about the feasibility of "perpetual motion machine" deliberately showing off culture and pretending to be smart, he will always jump out and use a serious tone, claiming that those who promote this kind of wrong knowledge should really be tied to the stake alive burn to death.

Like people used to treat witches or unfamiliar things.

After venting his dissatisfaction, he gently popularized the "law of energy conservation" and "two laws of thermodynamics" to people, which are quite famous terms in the academic field, to refute this invention like a comedian.

Turning to talk about the greatness of "dynamo".

It is said that if the iron-hulled steamship "Homecoming" with a speed of only 12 knots (nautical miles) per hour replaces the steam drive core with a gas turbine, it will not need to consume a lot of coal to heat hot water, and the startup speed will be faster and more economical.

Does he travel often? Although he said so, everyone was still skeptical, at least he might have been to those places in his dreams.

Even if he is well versed in world geography or folk customs, and can identify exactly which antique belongs to which region or era, he can speak clearly even in remote places.

But when someone with a heart tries to explore the deeper details of the folk customs, such as specific streets or the living habits of the local people, he always hesitates and confuses the past with a few words.

This evidence is enough to believe that he did have a good higher education, but never actually went to those places.

The only cognition of the world is just from books, or from a legendary story.

For example, he once talked about an old giant iron-clad ship he had seen that was two to three hundred meters long and fifty to sixty meters long, with many bones on it, driving in the gray mist.

Definitely want to board that ship if I get the chance.

But not long after this clumsy big talk was uttered, it was quickly exposed.

The sailors who are proficient in ships are very clear that the main ship of Baia's navy ironclad fleet is not even half of the data he displayed.

No one knows where his wealth came from, he holds no high office in the courts or the police, and his name does not appear at the Royal Society or Institute in Göttinghagen.

He must not be engaged in industrial or agricultural production work, neither a merchant nor a merchant, as evidenced by his clean clothes and the fact that he does not smell of the poor.

He has never disclosed his talent in literature or poetry, and probably has nothing to do with the cultural and creative industry.

In the end, people can only guess that he is probably an upper-class, adventurous rich son.

Although he habitually speaks big words, no one really hates him, because everyone will listen to him seriously for his kind deeds, and give Captain Jack enough face.

If you think he is young so he is easy to blackmail and bully, then you are very wrong.

A pickpocket who was eyeing his money and with dirty hands and feet entered his room privately to steal. When he entered, he was full of confidence, but when he came out, his fingers were wrung off.

That amounted to a lesson, but sadly someone didn't learn it.

Some social veterans with a tougher personality brought a partner to try to blackmail him, and asked a familiar lady to go to his cabin to seduce him, and when the time was right, a group of people went in to blackmail the gentleman reasonably.

However, things were equally unexpected, and no one knew what happened.

Everyone only knew that the group was discovered by patrolling sailors the next day. At that time, they were all stripped naked and tied to the bowmast collectively. The cold night wind almost made them freeze to death all night.

From then on, no one dared to think of this gentleman again.

Even if there are women who really want to have a wonderful relationship with him on this ship, they are all severely rejected by him without exception.

This Mr. Sparrow, like a harsh Puritan, always abides by his own value no matter when and where, and it is rare to see a character with such excellent moral character and temperament.

Although there are countless mysteries about this mysterious passenger, it does not prevent everyone from respecting him from the bottom of their hearts.

Among countless oddities, only one is known.

Because he was always chanting that.

Captain Jack is looking for his ship.

...

ps: How about this opening, borrowed from the opening of a famous book, at least I am very satisfied.

By the way, because of repeated revisions, if it is not from the official website, there will probably be a thousand words missing.
