Chapter 674 (1/1)
After the first mate's explanation, the captain finally moved his hand away from the handle of the knife. He followed the first mate down the platform and came to the deck to check on the three ”new men” who had been rescued. ”Thump, thump” wooden legs hit the deck, making a rhythmic sound. Yes, the captain's right leg has become a wooden prosthesis from below the knee. Although the shape and surface of the stick have been modified and polished, it is still better than the original body. This is also the normal sailing on the sea. If you observe carefully, there are few people on this ship who are not disabled. These injuries can be as small as ferocious scars, as large as incomplete fingers and toes, blind eyes and broken ears. However, it is rare for a captain to have a serious disability, and this does not mean that the captain is really out of luck. It is just that, if it were not for his high reputation and ability, no ship would take in disabled people who lack hands and feet.
The captain, with his wooden legs on, looked at the three men at the edge of the line and was first attracted by fioni. Sea monsters, even for sailors in lost heart Bay, are extremely mysterious. Although the ”blood money” sold by witches can enable these mariners to get the help of sea monsters to cross the misty sea area, even in the process of piloting, they rarely communicate with human beings on the ship. The two are just indifferent to the implementation of the agreement reached, each taking what he needs and sharing the sea.
In this case, what a healthy siren means is self-evident. In the captain's eyes, fioni is not a creature at all, he is a huge pile of blood money on the deck! With him, his own ships can jump over the cruel exploitation of witches and sail freely in the misty sea. But the captain soon calmed down, and he remembered that the sea monster itself was not more ignorant than human beings, and extremely hostile to human beings. Before the witches came forward, no one had ever reached a cooperation agreement with the siren, so even if he could get a living siren, he would not be able to persuade him to work for himself. Even if he is forced to surrender by violent means, he is likely to be carried by the sons of tides to dangerous waters unknown before. That's not worth it. Thinking of this, the captain rubbed his bearless chin. It was more cost-effective to sell him. The witches alone would probably pay a high price for the fish man, regardless of others. As for whether those crazy women take him back to other sea monsters for human relations, or dissect or make magic potions, it is not their own thing to consider.
A windfall, but it's just a windfall. Thinking of this, the captain swept his eyes over the other two people. His eyes were attracted by the clothes that the net worm was immersed in the sea water for a few seconds, and his hot breath soon calmed down. No sailor in the world will refuse a woman, but the man in lost heart knows that it is better to learn to respect women's own will before they act rashly. Otherwise, those who have been crippled by the wicked witch and hung on the dock to feed the gulls will laugh at their failure to learn.
Regardless of gender, the captain's eyes swept back and forth over Lothar and the net worm for several rounds. Finally, he drew out his machete and carefully picked apart several clothes from the two men in the confused eyes of other crew members. Then he used the machete as a crutch and bent down to raise their hands. The expression on his face became dignified. ”What else did you get when you fished out these parallel products?” He turned his head and questioned the sailors behind him in a serious tone. He knew that his hands and feet were not clean, and stealing booty was almost the default rule.
”That's not good, sir.” As soon as the captain asked about the spoils, the first mate hastened to dissuade him. Generally speaking, anyone who got what he found in the sea would belong to him. Even the captain had no right to force his crew to pay taxes on him. Unless he's going to be tied to his hands and walk on the springboard to feed the shark. But this time, the lazy captain pushed his mate away and thrust his machete into the deck. ”What do you know! I'll take out everything you've got! These two people are not ordinary people
The sailors looked at each other, and they all knew what kind of virtue their captain was, so they hesitated to hear the captain's words as if they were joking. ”Rattle!” The sound of metal hitting the deck sounded, and the first mate threw a dark silver amulet from his cuff. Then he said in a vicious voice to the captain, ”when you get ashore, you'll have to buy me a drink!” With him in the lead, the rest of the sailors began to throw things from their bodies, either from the three of Lothar or from other drowning companions. One of the more exaggerated is that two people from the bottom of the cable out of a Tomahawk and a shark toothed cutlass.
The captain's expression was even more ugly when he saw the two weapons. Instead of touching the shark's tooth knife, he weighed the justice of the fool and carefully touched the blade of the Tomahawk with his finger, and a small cut was made. ”Good fellow.” The captain said a word of admiration or emotion, and put the weapon which was too heavy for him back on the deck.
”What do you see?” Asked the chief mate, who had not seen his captain show such an expression for many years. Well, probably not since he lost his right leg.
”Let's start with the fish. He's not the one who made an agreement with the witches. That group of sea monsters won't use this machete. That's a good thing. The witch won't come and take him away. But it also means that we have no possibility to communicate with him. Tie him up and throw him as far away from the sea as possible, and when we get ashore, we'll find a good buyer. ” After the captain said that, a few sailors tied fioni into rice dumplings with hemp ropes thick and thin, and carried him down the deck.”As for the two guys.” The captain said, kicking Lothar's twisted arm with his prosthetic leg, and his eyebrows twisted tightly. ”These two guys are more troublesome than that fish. I really can't guess where they came from. Look at them. These muscles and calluses on their hands are not created by working on the water or on the road. They are trained professional soldiers, either mercenaries or pirates. No, ordinary mercenaries and pirates don't have this kind of muscle, except for the navy of a certain country, and it has to be the most elite one. ”
”That's a good thing! I'm afraid the price of a capable warrior is higher than that of a sea demon! ” The chief officer rubbed his hands excitedly and said.
”What a fart!” The captain kicked the first mate's buttocks with his artificial leg, ”look at that axe. I can barely lift it with both hands, and I haven't seen any rust after soaking in the sea for so long! Such a guy can be easily held in his hand. I'm afraid the whole crew of our ship are not rivals when they are tied together! And if you look at their clothes, is that for ordinary people? You know what the price of silk is! Ah! That's two bags of gold! Which country will provide its own navy with this kind of gaudy stuff, so they are not soldiers. It's a ghost. It's the strangest thing I've seen this year, no, five years. ”
”Captain! Captain, take a look! Is this man the rope of the sea god While the captain was swearing, the seaman, who was the lookout, keenly noticed the tattoo on Rosa's arm. It didn't matter. The captain cut the coat on the count's chest with his machete, and took a cold breath when he saw the strange lines that almost covered his whole chest and spread downward.
”Hiss! The sea god is up, it's really evil! ”
