"Joey, there's a kitchen here, but there's no food!"
"Joey, there's even a swimming pool here, and the water's warm!"
"Joey, there's an armory here, oh my god, I love that warhammer!"
"..."
The bearded man was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden; everything was new and exciting to him, and he kept shouting and yelling.
The others were also very curious, but none of them showed it as obviously as the bearded man.
"Joey, I want this bedroom!"
Catherine poked her head out of a room and spoke to Joey, who was still smugly pleased with himself.
"You've found a room already? So fast?"
"Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"
Joey, full of anticipation, rushed towards Catherine's room.
Bang!
As Joey reached the door, he was met with a loud slam, which made his nose sting.
"My Lady Catherine, I haven't gone in yet!"
Joey was depressed again.
"I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while!"
Catherine's voice sounded tired; she seemed genuinely exhausted.
"Actually... I'm tired too!"
Joey was still trying to seize the opportunity.
"..."
The room had fallen silent, and Catherine did not respond to Joey's words.
"Sigh, I have money and a spaceship now, and Catherine still won't give me a chance? This rich girl is so hard to win over!"
Joey sighed helplessly and had no choice but to leave.
He began to tour the rest of the spaceship.
"This should be the cockpit!"
Joey walked to a relatively spacious area, where the instruments and buttons were very similar to the cockpit of a starship he had seen on television in his previous life.
The view here is also extremely wide. Although from the outside the spaceship is just a big black iron box with no glass or anything, once you are inside the spaceship, you can see everything outside clearly, which is quite similar to the special glass in my previous life.
Joey's hand swept lightly across the dashboard, and the control panel, which had been dormant, was immediately awakened, emitting a pale blue light.
At that moment, something resembling a control lever rose up from the control panel.
Joey understood immediately, walked to the lever, gripped it with both hands, and gently pushed it.
"call out!"
The spaceship instantly disappeared from its original location and sped forward.
Joey was caught off guard and his body suddenly fell backward. The control stick also slipped out of his control, and the spaceship stopped immediately.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
The bearded man swaggered over to find Joey, and became even more nervous when he saw Joey lying on the ground.
"Joey, has someone attacked us?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I drive tractors a lot, so it's a little strange to suddenly be given a supercar to drive!"
Joey stood up, dusted himself off, and looked very excited, showing no sign of being upset about the fall.
Tractor? Supercar?
Seeing that Joey was alright, the bearded man ignored the two incomprehensible words and went out again. He hadn't finished exploring the spaceship yet and didn't want to stop.
Joey gripped the control stick again, this time with unusual gentleness, slowly propelling the spaceship towards Ashfurnace City.
"I'm a genius, hahaha!"
Joey was smug for a moment, but he soon grew tired of it.
"How boring! I'm just constantly touching the control stick!"
"I wish there was a self-driving car!"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, a map appeared on the "glass" in front of him, complete with latitude and longitude coordinates.
"This is a holographic map? The Draenei are really amazing, what a pity!"
Joey lightly touched the screen a few times with his left hand; for someone who had already mastered the art of using smartphones in his previous life, this was something he learned without any instruction.
He set the location of Ash City, released the control stick with his right hand, and the spaceship continued to move forward at a constant speed even without Joey's control.
"Done!"
Joey snapped his fingers happily, watching the scenery outside rush past him, unable to hide his smugness.
...
Inside the royal palace in Baron.
"What? Sandstone City's Saril is dead? That woman is in Sandstone City?"
Prince Barton slammed the letter in his hand shut, furious.
"Your Highness, please calm down. The death of Saril is merely a financial loss. Our most urgent task is to find that woman as soon as possible!"
An elderly man in an academic gown spoke softly to him.
"I estimate that the news reached me about three days ago; that woman has probably already run away!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Prince Barton's eyes.
"Your Highness, Captain Zoro went there on the King's orders. Who do you think will escort that woman, and where will she go?"
"Then naturally, the strongest captain, Zoro, will escort them. As for where they'll go..."
Prince Barton pondered for a moment, then continued, "Barron's? We were attacked here last time. Will you come back? If not, where will you go?"
"Ashehearth City!"
The old scholar tugged at the knot in his clothes and gave a reminder.
"Grey Furnace City? Heh, that's going to be a bit tricky!"
Although Prince Barton said this, he wore a mocking smile, seemingly unconcerned about Catherine's trip to Ashfurnace.
"Your Highness, should we activate those 'little birds'?"
The person the old scholar referred to as "Little Bird" was someone he had arranged to infiltrate Ashfurnace City two years ago. They were responsible for gathering intelligence and doing other things without revealing their identities.
"Let's get started. If we don't use them now, we might not have the chance later!"
Prince Barton walked to a wine cabinet, took down a wine glass, poured some reddish wine into it, gently swirled the glass, and finally drank it all in one gulp.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The old scholar agreed and left; he still had to prepare the carrier pigeons.
"Hawkins!"
"exist!"
"You should also go to Ashfurnace City. You failed last time, so don't fail again this time!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured!"
"You've always wanted to fight Captain Zoro, so let's take care of him this time too. If he can't be used by me, I don't want to keep him alive!"
"yes!"
Hawkins accepted the order and withdrew. He needed to take the airship to Ashfurnace City as soon as possible, and since he was already a few days late, he couldn't afford to delay any longer.
The spacious room was now empty except for Prince Barton. His wine glass was empty, and suddenly he smashed it on the ground, his expression turning ferocious.
“Father, how could you have such a foolish idea? It has turned me into a bad person over the past few years!”
No one heard his words, but in a separate chamber some distance away, an elderly man with white hair had just removed his crown and casually placed it on the bedside table.
The old man's face was etched with weariness and vicissitudes, but his eyes still shone with wisdom.
