Life is about tossing.
Having hope and having no hope will change both your mental state and your behavioral patterns.
Hawkins's original plan was actually quite simple, which was to walk around the world as a tourist, learn about the world, explore the world, communicate with people in this world, and ultimately witness the demise of this world, and then start a new journey.
As long as he keeps traveling from different worlds, sooner or later he will meet those former relatives and friends.
But now because of Eternal Sea Chart, his plan has changed. He can change from passive to active. With the possibility of Infinity, he has hope.
Hope can make a person happy, hope can make a person cheerful, hope is the light that can dispel the darkness, hope is happiness, even if you are experiencing suffering, you can be happy.
During this period, Hawkins was actually very happy.
He enjoys the wind and the sun of this world. He even got into the kitchen even though he didn't want to cook.
Mainly because the food cooked by a few controlled sailors always tasted bad, so he planned to cook it himself.
[I Love My Family Group]
Mark: Something bad happened, the captain entered the kitchen!!!
He originally planned to take a break from his busy schedule and go to the deck to rest for a while so that he could enjoy the sea breeze.
But soon he discovered that Hawkins was not on the deck, so he asked the sailors who were mopping the floor, and learned that Hawkins had actually gone to the kitchen. He quickly opened Chat Group and told everyone this amazing information.
Ai Miye: Hawkins can also cook?
Arthur: What's all the fuss about when the captain enters the kitchen?
Mark: Isn't this the first time? Don't you all feel better?
Qiao Si: I feel like eating it.
Victor:+1
Jennie: What day is today?
Mark: What's wrong?
Arthur: How about @Captain, ask?
Mark: The captain is cooking, so it's best not to disturb him.
Qiao Si: By the way, what the captain recently posted on Forum is very strange. Do you understand it?
Arthur: The story is very interesting, especially "Journey to the West", where a stone can actually turn into a monkey.
Mark: That must be because this stone was affected by Cursed Relic. Where did you see it?
Arthur: Isn't there a new story section? But there are many stories that are really complicated and completely incomprehensible.
Jennie: Let's talk about it. What don't you understand?
Arthur: For example, if a man clicks on a woman, the woman will not be able to move.
Mark: What's the problem? It must be Cursed Relic.
Arthur: But Cursed Relic was not mentioned in the story.
Mark: That's even simpler. Those people didn't understand Cursed Relic, but they were lucky enough to meet Cursed Relic from Good Grade, so they had special abilities without knowing it.
Arthur suddenly realized: So this is it!
Victor: Mark, I admit that Cursed Relic is very magical. The question is, can everything in this world really be explained by Cursed Relic? Recently, I have read a lot of popular science content written by the captain. Could it be that even the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetic force are all caused by Cursed Relic?
Mark: Maybe there is a particularly large Cursed Relic in the deepest part of the planet?
Qiao Si: Mark, you should study hard.
Mark: The problem is that the scientific things written by the captain cannot explain Cursed Relic.
Qiao Si: Can you please stop opening and shutting up? It's all Cursed Relic!
Mark: I didn't say anything at all, I just sent my thoughts to Chat Group.
Qiao Si: Miss, stay away from Mark from now on. This guy is too stubborn. Anyone who becomes his wife will probably be pissed to death in the future.
Mark was killed directly with one blow, and his whole body was petrified on the spot.
At this time, Hawkins came over with a plate of grilled fish. Mark closed Chat Group and said in surprise, "Captain, you went to the kitchen and made a plate of grilled fish?"
"If different people cook the same dish, will it taste the same?" Hawkins put the dinner plate on the rattan table, sat on the right side of Mark, and asked with a smile.
Mark said a little disappointed, "I thought I could eat new dishes."
"The materials that can be used at sea are limited, and I had no chance to purchase them at Black Market Island. I am neither a god nor a fairy, so how could I conjure materials out of thin air to make new dishes." Hawkins complained.
Mark wondered, "What is a god, and what is an immortal?"
"Mark, you really should study hard." Hawkins said helplessly.
Seven Seas does not have the concept of gods, and Red Sea where Mark is located seems to be the same, but Trist claims to be a god, which shows that this world still has the concept of gods.
Speaking of which, he did not send novels such as "Journey to the West" to Forum. The purpose was actually to let Mark and others have the concept of gods, and also for better communication, so that sometimes when he was talking, others did not understand what he meant and could not catch his jokes.
"..."
Hawkins glanced at Mark speechlessly, then picked up a fish and tasted it carefully.
Both the fish itself and the seasonings he used are actually the same as those used by Hai Bing, but his control of the heat is not comparable to that of Hai Bing, so in the details, he is better than Hai Bing.
The same grilled fish, he just makes it more delicious.
While the two were eating fish, a large three-masted sailboat loomed in the distance, but the canvas was in tatters and the hull was dark, giving people an extremely old feeling.
Mark spit out the fish bones, looked at the three-masted sailboat in front of him, and asked, "Captain, do you think the ship in front of you looks like a ghost ship?"
"That was just a three-masted sailboat that was not well maintained." Hawkins said calmly.
In the original memory of Hawkins, there are many three-masted large sailing ships that look like this. The main reason is that the maintenance of ships in this world is very poor, so the lifespan of ships is generally only between 20 and 30 years.
The reason why Black Knife has been able to last for decades is entirely because Huo Blackblade and Hawkins take out a lot of Gold Coins for repair and maintenance every year. This is a "stupid thing" that many ship owners would never do.
However, the large three-masted sailing ship in front is indeed a bit weird, but the weird thing is not the hull, but the sails.
There are too many holes in the sails of that ship, which will greatly affect the speed of the ship. Although good sails are also very expensive, it is not ordinary stinginess to refuse to replace them after they are so worn.
As time went by, the distance between the two ships gradually shortened, mainly because Black Knife was too fast. As a monster ship powered by bioenergy, Black Knife was even faster than most speedboats if it moved at full speed.
"Captain, I feel something is wrong. There is no one on that boat." Mark said at this time, and put the fish in his hand aside and stood up to observe.
Hawkins directly released Curse Power. Mark had too few Curse Power, so it could not be used for detection, but he had enough Curse Power to extend over and understand the situation on the ship.
When his Curse Power came into contact with the hull, the Curse Power passed directly through the hull, as if the three-masted large sailing ship did not exist.
"Something weird!"
Hawkins looked at Mark and said calmly, "Go and ask Arthur to stop Black Knife. I'll go over and take a look. You stay on the ship and pay attention to safety."
"Okay."
Mark Without any nonsense, he turned directly to the cab.
At sea, even the most experienced captain cannot be sure what he will encounter on the same waterway.
Storms, tsunamis, sea monsters, pirates...
No matter which Hawkins it is, it is considered to be experienced in navigation.
If it were the original Hawkins, if they encountered this strange sailing ship, they would definitely ask their subordinates to avoid it as much as possible.
But now Hawkins has a more adventurous spirit. He will explore the ship and see what's going on on it.
In an instant, the silicon-based organs on his body were energized to form a controllable magnetic field, and he flew from the deck to the three-masted sailing ship. The two sides were only about two kilometers apart. In an instant, he flew over the three-masted sailing ship.
Sure enough, there was no one on the boat, so he slowly landed.
"The floor is real!"
When he landed on the deck of the three-masted sailboat, he tapped the plank with his foot and couldn't help but think to himself.
At this time, he tried to use Curse Power again. When Curse Power extended from the body and came into contact with the three-masted sailing ship, he unexpectedly detected the existence of the three-masted sailing ship.
But he suddenly had an idea, looked up at Black Knife in the distance, and released Curse Power. Then he showed a surprised expression because his Curse Power did not touch Black Knife.
[Secret Treasure-Lost Ark: Please be mentally prepared when boarding the ship, because you will not know where the next stop is. This is a stupid ship that always likes to get lost. Although it is stupid, it has a good appetite.]
Hawkins walked to the mast, and a line of golden characters slowly condensed, then turned into golden powder and dispersed.
"No curse?"
"Is Secret Treasure Cursed Relic without the curse?"
Hawkins looked at the mast in surprise. In other words, this ship was not Cursed Relic, but it had magical abilities similar to Cursed Relic.
Lost Ark, interesting!
With a thought, Hawkins opened Spatial Passage in front of Lost Ark, preparing to put the entire ship into Eternal Space.
But the picture has changed.
Originally, it was a sunny and cloudless day where they were located, but in an instant, the sky around them was already covered with dark clouds, and the wind suddenly started blowing around.
Hawkins immediately turned around, and sure enough, Black Knife was gone.
"So... I followed this ship and got lost?"
Hawkins thought to himself, and then quickly boarded the observation deck. He turned around 360 degrees and found that this was definitely not Pras Sea, but an unknown sea area.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Hawkins After being surprised, he gradually smiled.
He still opened Spatial Passage and directly put Lost Ark into Eternal Space.
On the other side, Mark stared blankly at the three-masted sailboat in front of him that suddenly disappeared. He quickly opened Chat Group and entered: @Hawkins, Captain, are you okay?
Others asked questions one after another, and Mark quickly told everyone what happened.
