Chapter 261: "New World" (Ⅰ)

"We are not hunters!"
Xiao Miao answered with a smile.
"Actually, the three of us were appointed by the editor-in-chief of the "Leiden Post" to go to the wild boar island to report on the grand occasion of the hunting festival. One of the most important missions is to follow the hunting team into the jungle and write about what happened during the hunting process. Anecdote! Of course, the more thrilling the better!"
"Which hunting teams are you going to track and interview?" Roger leaned in curiously and asked.
"This is not necessarily, in principle, those teams that seem to be stronger are preferred, because the probability of winning a medal is also greater." Xiao Miao answered.
"The last day of the hunting conference, we have to interview the three teams that won the medals, it is necessary to establish a good relationship in advance." A Zhi said.
"Then you don't need to find someone else, and tracking our team can't be wrong!"
Dick patted his chest to pack the ticket.
"The four young hunters standing in front of you at this moment are destined to be on the podium of the hunting contest in seven days!"
Dick cowhide was blowing too loudly, attracting passers-by to look around, countless scornful eyes came, and there was also a noise of laughter.
Xiao Miao glanced at Ah Chi and Ms. Banny, and they all burst into laughter.
"Joan, your companion is really interesting!"
"Sorry, teacher Benny, Dick is just kidding."
Joan's face was flushed and he really wanted to find a hole in it.
"It's a good thing for young people to be motivated. There is no need to be shy about it." Teacher Benny said with a smile. "Joan, I'm really optimistic about you. Come on, I wish you a medal!"
Joan scratched her head awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to Teacher Benny's encouragement.
A familiar voice came from behind, as if someone was calling his name.
Joan turned around and saw Major Vasa and Miss Martha in the distance, waving at him with a smile.
Philip Downs, the steward of the Castes, in a uniform, guarding behind the mistress.
Strangely, Rebecca was clearly beside her sister, but turned a blind eye to Jo Ann, and turned her head to the side deliberately. The old man with a pouting mouth and a sullen look on his face seemed to be angry with anyone.
Joan squeezed out the crowd and finally walked to Miss Martha and Major Vasa and asked, "You also want to attend the hunting conference?"
Major Vaasa nodded with a smile, and gave him a meaningful look.
Joan didn't realize his intention for a while, and turned to say hello to Sister Castis.
Miss Martha responded cordially, but she smiled happily.
As for Rebecca, instead of ignoring him, he snorted heavily and shook his head to the other side.
Joan, even if he was dull, could understand it now-it turned out that Rebecca deliberately looked at him.
"Rebecca, are you mad at me?"
"Are you sorry to ask? Rebecca has been waiting for you to invite her to participate in the hunting competition these days, but I didn't see you until the end. Instead, I heard that you have teamed up with a few boys and changed to be you Rebecca, left behind by your best friend, can you not be angry?"
Miss Martha deliberately scolded Joan with a cold face.
"This...I thought the girl was not interested in playing wild boars, so I was not embarrassed to mention this to her."
Joan touched his head, ashamed.
"This is your fault. No matter whether Rebecca is interested, you should take the initiative to invite her. It is up to her to accept or reject."
Major Vassar's long-term focus on this incomprehensible boy.
Joan blushed to accept criticism, stepped closer to Rebecca, and whispered "I'm sorry".
Seeing his guilt, Rebecca turned away most of her grievances, turned around, and said flatly:
"Why do you say "I'm sorry"? I already have my own hunting team. Martha, George and Mr. Downs are all my good helpers. When we arrive on the island, we become competitors... no matter what, I wish you good luck!"
"Then... I also wish you good luck."
Joan answered in a mixed mood.
After saying goodbye to Major Vasa and Sister Castis, Joan turned back and crossed the crowd, trying to return to his companions.
On the way, I accidentally saw two familiar faces in the crowd, Edward Chap and his hunting partner-Martin Smith.
Behind Edward, two tall and strong young men followed.
Judging from the uniforms they wore, most of them were elite guards under General Gates, who were specially sent to assist his son in the hunting competition.
Joan waved to Edward across the crowd, but unfortunately the other party turned a blind eye and turned his head blankly, making him bored.
Martin Smith was very sympathetic, and when he saw his embarrassment, he stopped and smiled and took off his hat to greet him.
Joan couldn't help but feel grateful, and added a bit of gratitude to the old senior.
When Joan returned to the Thomas and Dindal brothers, the giant cruise ship named "New World" was already docked at the port berth.
On the side of the ship near the pier, put down 30 parallel springboards with guardrails, as if opening a pair of folding combs to connect the deck to the pier.
The bustling crowd on the pier immediately rushed towards the nearest springboard, like 30 black creeks converging towards the broad flat deck.
At the end of the springboard were uniformed ticket inspectors, who were the busiest people in the entire port of Leiden at the moment.
This cruise ship named "New World" is affiliated with the shipping company Alfheim. It is the largest and most luxurious tonnage of Leiden Port and the most advanced design technology of the magic crystal steam engine sail ship.
The construction of the "New World" cruise ship began in 1606, and it took seven years to complete the launch.
The hull is 120 yards long, about 20 yards wide, with a maximum draft of 8 yards, a displacement of 12,700 tons, a rated capacity of 2,600 tourists, and an operating rate of 10 knots.
A total of three sets of propulsion devices power the 10,000-ton cruise ship, including two side paddle wheels, a stern propeller, and six masts for sailing.
The "New World" has been in operation for eight years. There have been no accidents during the period. The entire New World is a small and famous "maritime playground", which attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the New World every year.
Over the years, Yalfheim Shipping Company has contracted the transportation and entertainment business during the "Hunting Festival". Every year on the first day of July, the company's best cruise ship "New World" will be sent to Leiden Port, forming a billboard of the same activity, to entice people to board the ship to enjoy a week-long holiday trip.
Over time, the people of Port Leiden have also become accustomed to this rather lavish holiday.
Most affluent citizens will choose to take this luxury cruise ship to cross the sea to "Wild Boar Island" to participate in the hunting festival.
