Golden Fishery

Early the next morning, Qin Shiou got up and put on formal clothes with Wei Ni. The weather was cold, so of course he couldn't wear his Tang suit. Wei Ni bought him a black suit with silver trim, which looked solemn and slightly energetic.

Winnie was dressed in a dignified and simple style, with a black cloak-style knitted sweater on her upper body, and a shiny silver brooch pinned to her chest as a bright spot. Black silk pantyhose for the lower body - In Europe and the United States, black silk culture is closely related to occasions such as funerals and mourning parties.

The memorial service for the victims of the Kraken 18th storm was chosen in the Royal Impression Park, the largest square in the Port of Basque Country.

This is an open park, covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres. The trees inside were tied with white flowers, and the participants also held flowers in their hands, such as white roses, gardenias, white lotuses or plain flowers. Wait.

When Qin Shiou entered the park, Wei Ni helped him choose a white chrysanthemum. He asked what it meant, and Wei Ni said: "It expresses the longing for the high-mindedness of the victims and the memory of his lost soul."

Qin Shiou squeezed Winnie's arm. He felt that if God really existed, then the best gift God gave him was not the Sea God's Heart, but Winnie.

The two brought the fishermen into the park square, and someone immediately came to meet them and took them to the back of the podium in the square. There were already some people inside, such as Prince Harry.

Prince Harry also brought a female companion with blonde hair and snow-skinned, elegant temperament. Although she was young, she looked graceful and luxurious, and she was obviously educated in an aristocratic style.

Seeing Qin Shiou, Prince Harry nodded politely, and first introduced his female companion: "This is my good friend, lady-Clarion-Quintina-Salbert-Bates."

"Please call me Caroline. Mr. Captain." The elegant woman smiled and shook hands with Qin Shiou, then stood quietly aside.

Qin Shiou didn't quite understand. Quietly asked Winnie: "Why is this girl called 'lady'? Is she married?"

Winnie explained calmly: "Dear idiot, lady is a kind of title here. The title of British nobility is a very troublesome thing. To put it simply, the wives of jazz are generally called ladies, you know. Like their daughter, they will also be called lady, and the overall name is lady plus given name and surname."

Qin Shiou suddenly realized, and he asked again: "When Prince Harry introduced me, he seemed to be called Henry (Henry), why do you call him Prince Harry (Hanry)?"

Winnie said: "It's just another name. Most people don't bother to correct the pronunciation. In fact, the prince's official title is Prince Henry of Wales."

What did Qin Shiou just want?

Winnie winked at him, and added: "No matter what his name is, he is a bastard! If he has not been in the army for ten years, then he really insulted the title of prince."

Qin Shiou chuckled, how could he be so happy when Wei Ni spoke ill of his other men.

Then Afef also came, and the female companion he brought was a big loli, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. The height is similar to Shirley now, with black hair and black eyes, she is a pure Arab.

But unlike most Arab women, this big loli has a surprisingly delicate beauty to her features. She has natural eye shadow and slender eyelashes that are almost hard to see in Asian women, and the simple and delicate upper and lower inner eyeliner makes her eyes appear extraordinarily deep.

When meeting Qin Shiou this time, Afef gave him a hug. Instead of shaking hands like before.

After embracing, Afef introduced his female companion: "This is my cousin Princess Salama. A wonderful and beautiful girl, isn't she?"

Qin Shiou agreed: "Yes. She is very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are almost like angels."

He knew that Arab countries are used to marrying cousins, so he guessed that this big loli princess was the fiancée prepared for Afef.

The group of them communicated in low voices together, and a bishop stepped onto the rostrum and began to preside over the mourning service.

The storm caused a total of 5 deaths. The staff put a large black and white photo of them behind the rostrum. The family members of the 5 people were invited to the square, cuddling together and weeping.

First, they took turns presenting flowers. Qin Shiou presented his white chrysanthemums to Mrs. Kasman, the captain of the Nass Guest, and Winnie, who followed him, hugged her and said, "My condolences, ma'am. Captain Kasman is the most beautiful woman I know. Excellent captain, he has a supreme charisma, he has set an example for my boyfriend and for all captains."

A series of activities were carried out, followed by speeches by representatives. Prince Harry first came to the stage on behalf of the British royal family and the Canadian government, followed by Qin Shiou, who spoke on behalf of Harvest.

Winnie has already prepared a manuscript for him, and it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, so he didn't feel stage fright after he came on stage, and came here with eloquence:

"First of all, I stand here with the reverence for Captain Kasman and First Mate Gilbert and the sorrow for the other twenty-three victims..."

"As long as I live, I will never forget everything that happened that night. When the passenger ship lowered the life raft, the men put the children and women first on the raft."

"As far as I know, there have never been so-called 'rules of the sea' that require men to make such a great sacrifice, requiring them to stay at the end to enjoy the chance of rescue. They do that only out of the care of the strong for the weak. It's the same whether it's on land or at sea, it's their personal choice."

"Let's not forget Captain Kasman, who has been holding the rudder all the time, and First Officer Gilbert, who has been calling for rescue until his death. Their choices have set an example for all captains: responsibility is more important than other considerations!"

"...Everyone, until the last moment, the captain and the first mate were sticking to the last line of defense of ancient but eternally young human values. They held high the battle flag of human spiritual civilization, and no one stepped out of the position of romantic heroic dreams. One step, in order to save life for the crew and passengers, the two of them persevered until the last second!"

"...Thanks for their sacrifices, it is they who jointly hold on to this value, so that human beings can become the most beautiful species in the universe, thank you."

After Qin Shiou's eulogy, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and the people behind him took over.

After the eulogy for everyone was over, the families of the victims pulled back a white cloth covering the tall sculpture in the center of the square, revealing a large frigate bird with wings spread and swooping.

The statue of the Great Warship Bird is two and a half meters high and has a wingspan of more than two meters. It is made of marble as a whole, with rough carvings and a mighty shape. Its head is raised stubbornly, its wings are powerfully spread out, and its feathers are scattered messily, but it does not appear to be in a panic. Only sturdy!

Qin Shiou patted Nimitz's wings and pointed to the statue of the frigate bird. It spread its wings and flew around the statue a few times, and finally landed on the statue curiously and cautiously.

The reporters stood or crouched, desperately starting to take pictures. (To be continued..)
