Chapter 532 Meaning
Aren't you tired?
Peggy appeared behind Dick without him noticing.
Dick looked at her and said without any emotion, "I'm not tired, it's my duty."
The captain's mission is to lead the crew forward, and to do so, he must be clear about his position.
"What are you looking at?" Peggy pressed.
"The sea."
"But the sea is all the same, blue and full of wrinkles. When the sunlight shines on it, it looks crystal clear, but there is no difference. It's okay to look at it for a while, but staring at it for a long time is a bit boring."
This is also a headache for Dick.
The lack of distinction means there are no landmarks to determine one's position.
Although the compass could indicate the direction, it could not tell Dick how far he had gone.
What he received from Commander Jonas was a blurry map.
Map markings are already not clear or detailed enough, let alone navigation during a voyage.
David said he could roughly estimate the distance traveled by using time and speed.
However, no one can accurately measure the speed.
Therefore, as the number of days he spent at sea increased, Dick's concept of location became increasingly blurred.
At this moment, Dick finally understood how much skill and experience were required for ocean voyages.
However, his own skills as a mediocre captain were truly limited.
Aside from working even harder to fulfill his duties, Ke Dike had no practical solutions to the problem.
Dick was terrified; they might get lost.
At that moment, he thought of the Navigator.
He was indeed a heinous criminal, but Dick had to admit that he was also a brilliant navigator.
Dick couldn't imagine how he had crossed the vast Sea of Despair to find the New World.
Moreover, that sea is filled with dangerous, corrupt waters.
"Hey!"
Peggy suddenly called out again, waving her hand in front of his eyes, "What are you daydreaming about? Are you even listening to me? I'm bored."
Dick frowned slightly: "That's how it is at sea. I've already reminded you that you shouldn't have come with me in the first place. You should have stayed in the port."
Peggy immediately looked displeased: "Why are you so long-winded, like an old woman? I was just telling you how I felt. What's the point of saying it now, whether I knew sooner or later?"
A true knight does not speak frivolously.
Dick immediately realized his words were inappropriate, and he rubbed his temples. "Sorry, Peggy, I—I'm a little out of sorts, I—I'm sorry."
Unexpectedly, Peggy didn't continue to blame him, but gently tugged at his sleeve: "Are you alright?"
"9
"Hmm, nothing serious."
No, you have something on your mind.
Indeed, but there's no point in expressing Dick's concerns.
He chose to remain silent, but Peggy clearly wasn't going to let him have his way: "Tell me about it."
"There's no point in telling you—"
"But maybe it will make you feel better," Peggy interrupted. "Dick, I try not to do anything unnecessary or cause trouble for everyone. I know I'm just distracting others, and I know I can't help you. But sometimes people need to talk."
Confess —
Dick remembered when he was a child, he would confide in his sister when he felt wronged.
She was the only person in the family willing to listen to his complaints. Hmm—I suddenly miss her so much.
"What are you laughing at?"
You remind me of my sister.
Peggy's eyes hardened: "I'm not your sister! I'm not your little sister! Never treat me as family!"
Never!
"I apologize, I have overstepped my bounds; I am merely a vassal of the Peyton family."
"It's not a matter of overstepping boundaries," Peggy suddenly grinned mischievously. "Alright, tell me, what's bothering you?"
Dick hadn't confided in anyone for a long time, which he considered a sign of weakness.
A true knight must always remain strong.
But----
"I'm worried we'll get lost at sea."
"Um.
""
"If this continues, we will all die."
"Um."
"But Peggy, you're still on the ship. I'm sorry, that's why I said those things to you just now. I'm the one who put you in danger. It was me—"
"Shh!" Peggy shouted, "Don't say things like that anymore. I came up here of my own accord. And I'm not afraid to die!"
.
"Don't say that, Peggy. I didn't mean to make you anxious. I shouldn't have said that."
"But I'm so glad, Dick, that you're willing to tell me the truth, and I'm really not afraid at all."
Dick gave him an admiring look: "No wonder she's the daughter of a loyal dog."
"I am indeed his daughter, but that's not why I'm not afraid. It's because you're by my side that I'm not afraid."
Upon hearing this, Dick's mind suddenly went blank: "?"
The sea breeze carried a salty smell, caressing the surface of the Hunting Yellow Dog.
The seawater danced with the wind, crashing against the hull and creating foam and spray.
The two looked at each other.
Still and motionless.
Besides the environment, which highlights the passage of time.
Suddenly, Peggy's face turned bright red.
She turned around quickly and said in a rapid-fire voice, "Don't misunderstand me, I mean—you, you're a knight—yes! You're a knight! I've witnessed many of your heroic battles, and your actions have inspired me, which is why I'm not afraid."
After saying this, Peggy quickly left.
Dick stared at Peggy's retreating figure for a long time before snapping out of his daze.
Oh, so that's what it meant!
Dick suddenly realized he had been too narcissistic to think that Peggy was implying she had other feelings for him.
Dick Buchanan, he firmly rejected you back then and was already engaged to someone else.
If she hadn't fallen ill back then, she would be a wife now.
And you actually thought the other person had such thoughts? You are utterly shameless.
Dick felt ashamed of himself.
A true knight should not presume to know what others are thinking.
However, Dick suddenly realized that his relationship with Peggy seemed to be quite good.
When did it start? When Peggy first met him, she was filled with hatred for him.
Sometimes she was too willful and unreasonable, which gave Dick a headache.
Is it because we've spent a lot of time together?
Looking back, the two of them spent this period together.
Ah, so Peggy and I have already reached such a level of trust in each other?
As a vassal of the Peyton family, he considered this a good thing.
But----
For some reason, Dick couldn't take his eyes off Peggy's back.
"grown ups!"
Until a call interrupted his thoughts.
Dick immediately tensed up: "What's wrong?"
"There's something going on at sea," David said.
"explain."
"The lookout said that he could vaguely see the outline of a ship on the horizon."
Dick frowned: "Vaguely?"
"It's too far away for him to see clearly, but based on experience, it couldn't be anything else, after all, that dark shadow was moving forward."

Forward, Dick thought, which meant going in the same direction as the ship.
Dick was commissioned to set out in search of the legendary Feathered Island.
But what were those people's motives?
Dick immediately sensed that the task Lord Jonas had given him was...
There might be more to the story!
