Chapter 38 Theodore the Boatman

The next day, Ai En came to Fang Xing's residence again after school.

It's just that this time she looked stunned, and what appeared in front of her was a messy scene, while Fang Xing sat on the chair indifferently.

Ai En couldn't help but asked, "Did you get attacked yesterday? Why did the house look like this...!"

Of course, this sentence does not really mean this. After all, this is a town under the jurisdiction of the Navy Headquarters, which symbolizes the center of justice. How could it be invaded? It's just words to express surprise.

"Cough, cough..." Fang Xing coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then said, "It's caused by the experiment."

"Test something?"

Although the walls are already full of bumps, scratches can still be seen clearly. What kind of experiment caused such marks? Ai En came to the result after thinking about it for a while.

"Could it be that you are also a swordsman like me, and you are still the kind of swordsman who can emit sword energy."

Only this can explain how those clear scratches on the wall came from. It should be said that these are marks that only sword energy can cause.

After all, when Fang Xing fought Binz, he only saw Fang Xing's speed and strange way of breaking through. It was impossible to know whether he had really activated his real strength, and it was very likely that he had hidden his identity as a swordsman.

"No, it's caused by other abilities." Fang Xing replied.

Ain nodded, expressing his understanding.

That's right, she was thinking too naively. Sword Qi is the symbol of a swordsman, and it is also the difference between first-class swordsmen and ordinary swordsmen. Even the swordsmen in the Navy headquarters who can master sword Qi are the elite among the elite.

What's more, if it is the sword energy that can cause this little damage to the wall, it should come out through the wall.

"It's really bad to be ruined like this."

Fang Xing said helplessly: "So I want to ask you, is there anyone in this town who repairs houses?"

Ai En thought for a while and said: "I remember the old man who built warships before, but now he has switched to building houses. He should be able to repair them. I will take you there."

Led by Ain, Fang Xing passed through the center of the town and came to a remote alley.

Ain said: "It's here, let's go in."

In the inner shadow of the alley, there is a door, which is easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

"The person who opened the store in such a place is also a talent." Fang Xing couldn't help thinking.

Pushing open the door, the bell on the door vibrated and rang "Bing ding...", telling the people in the store that a customer had come.

Fang Xing and the others walked in, and the store looked empty, only an old man about half his age, with a scruffy beard, an ordinary face, and a cigarette in his mouth, lying comfortably on the armchair.

When the doorbell rang, the old man glanced at the people who came in, but he didn't want to get up because of his comfortable posture, so he asked the people who came in lazily: "This is the house repair office, what service do you need. "

"Can the house be repaired here?"

"Of course, it's just that your family members can't handle the formalities with the two little girls. You need an adult to do it." The old man replied, signaling with his eyes that they need to find their family members to go through the procedures.

Regarding the issue of gender, Fang Xing was helpless.

"First of all, I am a man, and secondly, no one in the family is here, and I am the only one at home."

The old man took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring before nodding his head to express his understanding. He didn't care about Fang Xing's gender, and he wasn't surprised that there was only one person in the family. Such things had happened before, especially for single parents. In the family, when the father is working outside, only the children are at home.

Slowly took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said: "Then fill in the home address, pay the deposit, and I will find a time to go."

"Deposit?" Fang Xing asked.

With Fang Xing's reaction, the old man immediately guessed that he had no money, and said directly: "Why is there no Bailey? I am not a volunteer site, of course there is a fee, otherwise you think I work for nothing, although there is food in the town The navy provides it, but Bailey is still needed in many ways. Didn’t your family leave some Bailey for you? No matter how bad it is, you can apply for supplies from the navy.”

Seeing this, Fang Xing showed a troubled expression.If it was Garp, there would definitely be no shortage of Bailey. After all, when catching pirates, even the navy could earn Bailey more or less.

But the problem is that Garp didn't leave any Bailey for him when he left. The men who blackmailed Bruggem had some income before, but they didn't bring it.

He is in one situation now, poor and white.

The old man saw Fang's embarrassing behavior, and showed some compassion, so he said: "Who is your family, please write down the address first, and I will report the repair cost to the navy for you."

It's really convenient, you can temporarily report the expenses after reporting the names of your family members, Fang Xing sighed.But what if it is an orphan?
"What's the situation with the orphan?" Fang Xing asked the old man.

"Well, if you're an orphan, of course you don't have any income, so you're free of charge."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Fang Xing said naturally, "I'm an orphan."

"Eh?!" This made Ai En, who was on the sidelines, exclaim in surprise, but the old man didn't respond. Fang Xing also said just now that his family was not there, and he might mean the orphan.

Ai En pulled Fang Xing and whispered in his ear: "Isn't your grandfather Garp?"

Fang Xing also understood what Ain meant, meaning your grandfather Garp is not dead yet?Is it really okay to curse your grandfather like this?
Fang Xing waved his hand and replied, "It's just a joke, Grandpa Lieutenant General Karp."

Rather than repairing it for free as an orphan, it would be better to simply credit Garp with paying for the repair. This is revenge against the iron fist of love.

"Lieutenant General Garp?" When the old man heard this name, he bit his mouth on the cigarette butt and opened it slightly, causing the cigarette butt to fall to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and his expression was full of astonishment.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Fang Xing knew what he was astonished about.The name Karp is unexpectedly easy to use in the Navy, and it can be said that it will basically cause surprise wherever you hear this name.

"You're welcome, try to charge as much as possible, anyway, he has money."

Is there such a thing as cheating grandpa?The old man twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, got up and stamped out the cigarette butt that fell on the ground, and then walked to the front of the stage.

"Report your home address, and I'll fix it tomorrow."

The old man took out a piece of paper to record Fang Xing's address. Out of respect for Karp, he scheduled the work for tomorrow. As for not scheduling it for today, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and even if he went, he would not have time to complete the repairs.

After Fang Xing reported his home address, he revealed the second purpose of the trip.

"Old man, can you build a ship?"

"Hmm..." The old man's calm eyes suddenly lit up, his original lazy look disappeared, and he showed his edge, staring at Fang Xingdao: "Isn't that natural, I am Theodore the boatman of Water Seven Island, kid."

"Who, I don't know." Fang Xing said with a cute look.

As if he had been hit hard, Theodore showed a slumped demeanor, and murmured to the side, "That's right, I haven't built a ship for so many years, and it has long been forgotten."

Fang Xing interrupted Theodore, "Old Theodore, how about your shipbuilding skills?"

Theodore also broke out of the downturn, boasting: "Of course it goes without saying. I think I was one of the builders of warships back then, let alone shipbuilding technology."

"Then you, who are so great, why are you building a house here?" Fang Xing said mercilessly.

The old man was disappointed and said: "Um... It's not the arrival of Vegapunk. The sea tower stone was added to the bottom of the ship, so that the warship will basically not be attacked by the sea kings in the windless zone. The navy does not need to improve the performance of the warship. The land style has also been finalized, and the boatmen have also been laid off."

Vegapunk?The scientist who claims to be 500 years ahead of the world in science and technology, if it is because of him, does have this influence and possibility. It is no wonder that the naval warships seen in anime are always those types.

"It's okay, can you still build ships now?" Fang Xing asked.

"Of course, my veterans can make it as long as they have materials, but what do you want to build a ship for?" As the grandson of Fang Xingkapu, he only needs to join the navy and he will be promoted soon. With the promotion of the position, he will definitely be able to Assigned to a ship, there is absolutely no need to build it.

"You don't need to worry about this, anyway, I will find materials for you when the time comes."

Of course Fang Xing couldn't explain that he was going to build a boat that could be used as a tool for escape in the future.

In fact, when the ability reaches a certain level, it is completely possible to walk on the sea or fly in the sky, but in the world of pirates, if there is no compass, it is difficult to find the next island. Not deli.

A large part of the role of the ship is to serve as a tool for storing food.

It was rare for someone to be sure of him, and Theodore was also a little excited.

"Okay, the old man has made an agreement with you. As long as you find good materials, the old man will build you the best boat."

"Okay, it's a deal."

After bidding farewell to Theodore, Fang Xing returned to the house, then sent Ain away after a period of boring study, and continued to start his own exercise.
