Bab 12: Chapter 12 Navigation Chart
"Bachelor Keben, I very much agree with your point of view. I have an idea. Our understanding of the human body is not comprehensive enough. If we don't understand it, the treatment will be biased. So I think the progress of medicine should not only study new drugs, but also Understanding the human body is the basis of everything." Gavin looked enthusiastic, as if he would risk everything for medicine.
"Gavin, your idea is exactly what is currently ignored in medicine. However, this type of research is expressly prohibited by the Academy. As the general trend goes, we can only work hard in the two fields of drugs and methods." Coburn Frowning, he said helplessly.
"What if the city doesn't know? Bachelor? We are here for academic research and medical progress. If there are huge results, everyone will benefit." Gavin said eagerly, with excitement shining in his eyes.
"This idea of yours is very dangerous, Gavin. You are still very young. It is better to accumulate more knowledge and experience. You can study more theories in this area. I believe that the city will gradually change. Don't delay you. future." Before Gavin could reply, Coburn said again and waved his hand.
"That's it for today. I still have some medicines to deal with. I have an operation tomorrow. Remember to arrive early. Go back Gavin."
Gavin bowed respectfully and said respectfully: "Yes, bachelor, I won't disturb your work. See you tomorrow."
After coming out, Gavin closed the door respectfully, rolled his eyes, and complained in his heart: Old fox, you want me to help but you don't dare to say it. It's been more than ten days since you tried again and again, and Gavin doesn't dare to show it. It's too much. If it really scares Cobain off, it will be more troublesome. In fact, in the past few months, Gavin has mastered some black information about Cobain secretly using corpses for experiments, but the evidence is not sufficient. Otherwise, he can directly threaten him, which is better than being here every day. Acting is much better.
Gavin returned to the dormitory, changed out of his solemn academic uniform, carefully tied his sword around his waist, and walked slowly towards the old town.
The Old John Tavern was bustling with people and a mixed crowd. Most of the customers here are mercenaries and pirates traveling to the Old Town port, and their identities can also change randomly. The air in the tavern is filled with the smell of ale and sweat.
Gavin followed the waiter into the private room and saw five people sitting inside.
They were all mercenaries hired by ships, and they were laughing and drinking ale. The leader was tall and had a hatchet on the table. Seeing this feature, Gavin understood that this was the captain of this mercenary team, Domus Thorne.
He was wearing a somewhat worn leather armor, and the scratches on it seemed to tell stories of past battles. The muscular arms were exposed, with veins protruding like winding earthworms. The blade of the hatchet shone coldly in the light.
Gavin took a deep breath, walked forward, smiled and said, "You must be Captain Domus, I am Gavin Buddha."
Domus smiled heartily and said: "You must be Gavin, come and sit down! Thank you in advance for curing my teammates. I'll thank you on behalf of Luca."
Gavin nodded and smiled, quickly walked to his seat and sat down. Gavin rescued a mercenary named Luca a month ago. During the communication with him, Gavin heard from John that a year ago, his team was hired by the Sea King of Braavos to explore the mysterious ruins of Valyria.
Although the operation suffered heavy casualties, they were lucky enough to find a channel they could enter. To this end, their captain Domus secretly drew a simple waterway map.
Gavin showed great interest in this and proposed to make a copy of 5 golden dragons. Gavin came here today precisely to find the other party to complete this deal.
At this time, a sturdy mercenary with a long scar on his face put down the ale in his hand, looked at Gavin sideways and said, "I heard that you cured Luca, but the waterway map is a very precious thing. 10 gold dragons for your good treatment of Tom." His voice was rough, and his eyes were provocative, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey, wanting to test Gavin's strength.
Gavin didn't answer when he saw this. He glanced at Domus first and saw that he was pretending to be nonchalant. Obviously this was what Domus meant. The price was acceptable to Gavin, so he smiled and agreed: "Okay. Then 10 gold dragons."
The mercenary with the slender scar showed a disdainful smile after hearing this: "I changed my mind for 20 gold dragons."
After hearing this, Gavin unconsciously clenched the sword at his waist with his left hand, suppressed his anger and said, "It seems you have no sincerity in the transaction."
After hearing this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the other party's face. He glanced at Jiawen sideways and smiled wildly: "Boy, do you want to use the sword? Why don't you go out with me to compete and challenge me? If you beat me, I will give you a golden dragon. Of course, if you lose, you have to pay 40 gold dragons to buy it!"
After hearing this, Gavin said disdainfully: "There's no need to go out, just stay here. I'll give you a move, and you make the first move."
Feeling humiliated, the mercenary immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed at Gavin with an angry roar. However, in the flash of lightning, Gavin's sword was faster, and with a "clang" sound, his sword flew away. Before the mercenary could react, a blood mark was left on the back of his hand. Then, like lightning, Gavin's sword was placed on his neck before he could react.
The private room fell silent instantly, and the other mercenaries' eyes widened with disbelief on their faces. The defeated scar-faced mercenary's face turned red, feeling ashamed and annoyed but helpless.
Gavin smiled slightly, took out a golden dragon and threw it on the table. He slowly took back his sword and said, "I accept it."
The mercenary gritted his teeth and said, "I was wrong. Your swordsmanship is amazing!"
Domus laughed and tried to smooth things over: "What do you think? I told you that this guy is good!" Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became lively again.
As night fell, Gavin, who had just finished copying the navigation map, chose to stay overnight in the tavern. After all, the academy has strict regulations. If the assistant maester returns too late, he will definitely be reported by the guard. In order to prevent any unexpected trouble, staying overnight in the tavern is undoubtedly a wise choice.
Just now, he successfully exchanged a gold dragon for the ownership of the navigation map before nightfall.
He made friends with Domus. Through chatting, Gavin found that this team was obviously a flexible transformation between robbers and mercenaries.
Gavin also specifically inquired about the situation in the ruins of Valyria and the Sea of Smoke, and unexpectedly learned a lot about the division of pirate forces on the narrow sea, the wars between the nine major trading city-states, and some interesting things on the continent of Essos.
