119 The Waiting Fool's Ship

The general Krimans said was a middle-aged man with a thick beard. He was very stout, with a bright red military uniform that was quite eye-catching, and there were many medals on his chest.

The general stared at Zuo Rong and asked, "Krimans said, do you want to tell me a story?"

Zuo Rong was tied up with his hands, and seemed to be able to wait for his post to fall. But in fact, while he was brewing his own lines, he was also judging the distance he had with this general.

If it really doesn't work and the other party really plans to execute him, he can only consider the option of five steps with a fury...

The general asked again: "You said you knew a senior professor at the National Academy of Magic. What's going on?"

Zuo Rong suddenly sighed and said, "I came from the far east. In fact, I was not alone. I have a sister. She traveled with me and traveled all over the place."

General: "What happened later?"

Zuo Rong: "Later, we encountered danger on the road and were forced to separate. After that, I was still traveling, but my purpose had changed, and that was to find her."

The general couldn't help laughing: "So, is this a story of looking for relatives?"

Zuo Rong smiled and said, "I have no intention of offending you, and I have no slight hostility towards your army. I am just looking for my sister... because I found a clue before, she may have appeared here."

The general waved his hand: "Okay, Master Kremans, I can't see any threat this kid is. You can deal with it."

After saying that, the general got up and left, too lazy to say another word. Obviously, this "traveler" looking for his sister could not attract even a slight attention.

Of course, what is more important is that the body search before interrogation did not find even a little weapon or equipment from this "traveler". If it was a scout, it would be too amateur. Since there was no threat, the general would naturally be too lazy to pay attention to it.

The general and several entourage guards walked out of this simple tent.

In the tent, only Zuo Rong and Kremans were left.

Krimans stared at him for a half minute, then suddenly asked, "Why can you call out my name?"

Zuo Rong immediately explained: "Because I also asked a lot of news before coming here. There were rumors about you and your name was mentioned."

Although I don’t know much about this magical world, from the words Duna and Aunt Du said, we can hear that on this continent, the name of the magician is not a secret. There are also many magicians who like to become famous all over the world, so that it will be easier to receive commissions from the powerful.

Krimans snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if what you said is true or false. To be on the safe side, I can't let you stay near Cornis."

Zuo Rong tightened his nerves secretly, but he was still gentle on the surface: "So, what are you going to do?"

Krimans: "Since you have traveled a lot, you must know the Fool's Boat, right? It's just that, not far from this, is a tributary of the Madha River."

Zuo Rong couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Krimans was a little confused: "Why, you seem to want to be exiled to the ship of April Fools?"

Zuo Rong nodded: "At least it's much better than an execution on the spot."

"Execution on the spot?" Krimans sneered, "Since you did nothing, you will certainly not be executed at will. I am also an intermediate magician of the Magic Association, so I won't even have this bottom line."

Zuo Rong's expression remained unchanged, but his pupils shrank slightly.

He noticed that Krimans called himself an intermediate magician. He remembered clearly that when Krimans was captured, this guy was obviously a high-level magician.

In other words, the current timeline is indeed before this guy was promoted to a high-level magician?

Since you can meet Kremans by running, will you meet an acquaintance again when you get on the boat? Will you meet the wandering little Duna who has not yet entered the orphanage?

Zuo Rong was a little looking forward to it.

———

That evening, Zuo Rong was taken to the bank of the river by two guards.

Krimans is already busy with other things. Because Zuo Rong has never shown any special abilities or threats except running fast, and is not a magician, so his attention to him is naturally reduced.

Zuo Rong could easily get rid of the two guards around him. Not to mention getting rid of them, looking at these two guards who are completely ordinary people, Zuo Rong was quite sure that they could not get up within three seconds. But at this time, there was no need.

It would be better to say that they can help send themselves to the ship of the fools, but they really want to ask for it.

After waiting for a long time, the boat finally arrived.

It was indeed a shabby and simple boat with no deck. Inside the curved side of the boat were rows of cross-bowls, which were considered seats. At this time, three people were already sitting on the boat, all of whom were ragged and looked unnatural. In addition to these three "fools", there was a person hanging on the mast, which was the captain who controlled the sail.

The ship only has a mast, shaped like a cross, hanging a layer of canvas that is so dirty that it cannot tell the original color. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the ropes on the mast form a hanging position, and the thin captain sits on it.

The captain spoke. The man's voice was as dry and hard as a crow, but it was quite loud: "You brought someone to me, where is the ticket?"

A guard took out a bag of bread and held it high and shook it.

The captain threw out a hemp rope: "Tie it on it and throw the person in."

The guard used one end of the hemp rope to tightly tie the bag of bread. The other guard pushed Zuo Rong into the ship.

As soon as he entered the side of the boat, Zuo Rong immediately smelled a stench... No, there was more than one, a different stench mixed together, such as rotten eggs, manure and vomit.

This is the smell of the three existing passengers on the ship, perhaps including the captain above? On this ship, there is definitely no habit of taking a bath.

In an instant, Zuo Rong understood what Du Na said before.

‘Every place, there are always some unpopular people who do not commit crimes that need to be tried, but everyone wants to keep a distance from them, like those of lepers…’

Looking around, these three "passengers" seem to have no leprosy, but they are not normal no matter how they look at them.

One is a man over fifty years old, with his face full of wrinkles left by years, deep or shallow, and quite mature. However, his eyes were like a child, and he was still picking his nose, digging and eating.

One was a young man in his twenties, but he seemed to be scared by something, huddled under the horizontal wooden seat, hugged his knees, grabbed his toes with both hands, and shivered.

Another one is an old woman with white hair, with wrinkles on her face so deep that it can kill mosquitoes. She opened her mouth and did not move at all, without a tooth in her mouth, and her expression and eyes were not as dull as a human, but more like an old tree without anger.

Zuo Rong tried to sit aside, and could only sigh secretly... It was really worthy of being an April Fool's Boat.
