Codex Pirates

Chapter 1 Stranger

In 1506 of the Haiyuan calendar, the East China Sea.

The peaceful life of the town was easily torn apart by a group of outsiders. A dilapidated multi-masted sailing ship with a skull flag was moored at the pier. Under the cover of night, the pirate ship rose and fell with the waves, like a living creature The sea monster quietly watched the town full of fighting and roaring, just like before, maybe it has long been used to it.

There are already traces of pirates attacking everywhere on the outskirts of the town. Some sporadic fires ignited by the battle illuminate the street, and a group of pirates are in a hurry.

Until one of them suddenly stopped in front of a tavern with the door open, the other three companions headed by him also stopped when they saw this.

The first few pirates walked a few steps, realized something was wrong, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

The first person to stop in front of the tavern was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with blond hair and blue eyes, high nose and deep eyes, slightly childish, just like the other pirates on the same boat, because he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his appearance looked a little messy, his complexion It was dark, but it was different from those old pirates whose faces were full of excitement because they could burn, kill and plunder immediately. There was no trace of happiness on his face.

"I want to stay here," the boy who stopped in front of him glanced at the tavern, and said calmly, "The supplies on the boat will run out soon, so I want to bring some wine back to the boat, lest everything here will be ruined by others. "

Unlike the teenagers who were not interested in plundering, the old pirates in the lead seemed a little impatient when they heard the noises from their companions rummaging through boxes and the faint female cries for help.

The leading old pirate thought for a moment that the town's resistance had been torn apart, and they didn't need to act in groups anymore, so after hearing the boy's words, although he smiled in his heart, he still gave a thumbs up and said, "William, you really are Good job, but I don't think you need so many people to help, so let's go first."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even wait for the young pirate he called William to respond, and shook his head at several of his accomplices, and they rushed into the town with excitement on their faces.

A few faint words of ridicule spread to the ears of the people in front of the tavern along the wind, "So stupid." "A rookie who doesn't understand anything."

The faces of the other remaining pirates showed anger, but the pirate named William did not react when he heard this, perhaps because he was different from these pirates. I don't like the behavior of these people.

On the earth in the 21st century, his name is Sun Bo, he is a white-collar worker, and in the words of the Internet, he is about to become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life, but life is so wonderful, on the way to becoming a CEO , on the way to win Bai Fumei, halfway to the pinnacle of life, the unlucky Sun Bo was given a sudden kidney shot by fate, so he was tragic.

Without any warning or reason, he just took a short nap in the office, and he crossed over, and joined an industry that anyone who grew up and lived in a stable society would think had no future—pirates.

But Sun Bo is not a person who likes to feel sorry for himself. There is no customer service to complain about time travel, and there are no basic laws and regulations, and it cannot be reversed by ordinary people's will. Wasted in useless places.

The customs and habits of this world are very different from the earth before crossing, and even the distribution of races is a bit weird. The body that Sun Bo occupies now is obviously close to the Germanic race in his previous life. Besides, there are Mediterranean races and East Asian races on board. There are all kinds of pirates with different skin colors and appearances, but they speak the same language.

Such a strange environment made the cautious Sun Bo not dare to expose the fact that he was a time traveler. Who knows if the people here will tie him to a pillar and burn him to death after discovering that he is a time traveler.

Fortunately in misfortune, the instinctive memory of the original owner of this body has been accepted by him, such as language, actions, etc., while other memories are superimposed like a pile of messy photos, not only messy and unorganized, but also emotionally disturbing. There are some gaps.

However, this does not prevent Sun Bojiu from using his name—Morgan William.

Morgan is the surname, William is the first name, Sun Bo, or William is too lazy to find out why the name is similar to the English species in his previous life, but the order of the names is in accordance with the oriental custom. He has a more urgent practical problem to be solved-adapting to the life of a pirate.

As an ordinary person who grew up in a peaceful society, it took William a few months to gain a firm foothold on the pirate ship, and he also recruited three peers to form a tight gang headed by him.

At this time, a black and thin pirate who was following William raised his eyebrows after hearing the ridicule from several old pirates. Without saying a word, he grabbed a solid iron rod stuck in his waist We must catch up with each other.

William quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Leave them alone, Ah Jin."

The pirate named Ah Jin was about the same age as William, but he looked like he was in his thirties. Apart from being dark and thin, his eye sockets were sunken and his lips were blue. He looked like a consumptive ghost.

In a sea battle, William quickly pulled A Jin and saved his life from the enemy's sniper. A Jin is obviously a person who regards gratitude as his life principle, and since then he has become a member of William's small gang. One of them, and most obedient to William's words.

Therefore, when Ajin heard that William told him not to pursue the matter, although he was still angry, he still stopped. He just took a hard look at the old pirates who walked away, and cursed: "A few old dogs! !"

William patted Ah Jin on the shoulder, took the lead to open the door and entered the tavern, and the other three followed suit.

The tavern looked very messy, with tables and chairs lying on the ground everywhere. It seemed that the customers here were in a panic when they left, and there seemed to be a pirate walking in front who had been here before a few people. Simple and rough searching After picking up the booty, there were many broken wine bottles on the ground, and the wine was scattered all over the floor. When several people entered the door, they could smell a strong aroma of wine.

William glanced around and found that the tavern was not big, except for the front and rear doors, there was only a wooden door behind the bar, which seemed to lead to other rooms.

He ordered Ah Jin and another pirate to stay and guard the front and rear doors, and then ordered a young pirate named Aramis to walk carefully to the bar with him.

Aramis is a young man of medium height, with short black hair slightly curly, tightly attached to his head, with a baby face that looks harmless to humans and animals, always smiling habitually, showing a pair of shallow Dimples, and two conspicuous small canine teeth.

Aramis followed William and they tiptoed to the door. William took out a loaded flintlock pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the wooden door. He nodded to Aramis, and Aramis immediately kicked the wooden door open. open.

There was no one behind the wooden door that William pointed his gun at. Seeing this, Aramis shrugged at him and said, "Looking at the appearance of this tavern, there probably won't be anyone there."

"Be careful, there is no big mistake." William also heaved a sigh of relief, not because he was afraid of encountering enemies, but he was actually afraid of encountering civilians.

William lowered his gun and walked into the aisle behind the door. Aramis took the time to rummage through the messy bar and found nothing except a book that was wet with alcohol. Obviously, all the money in the store was stolen by the previous wave of pirates. took away.

Aramis threw the account book away, and then quickly caught up with William, and said in a complaining tone: "William, you are not a cadre on the ship, and you are worried about what to do with supplies. When the time comes, the captain and the others will organize people to move the wine to the ship. One for you, it’s hard to go ashore, and you don’t go looking for something valuable, but you come here to carry wine! Why didn’t I know that you love drinking so much?”

William glanced at him: "He's almost dead, what's the use of grabbing more money?"

Aramis was taken aback when he heard the words, and wondered, "What do you mean?"

"Navy," William said with a gloomy expression. It's unlucky enough to become a criminal through time travel, and it's even more unlucky to become a fugitive criminal after time travel. Is it not strange for a fool who is not much bigger than a goldfish? Even if our ship is intact, we will be chased by that navy warship. Now that one of the masts on our ship is broken, we can shake off the almost intact warship, and the other party is still chasing us Not coming up?"

Aramis blushed, but still asked: "You mean we didn't get rid of those damn navy?"

"I can't tell. Maybe the navy was very unlucky, but we were very lucky. They happened to be in a shipwreck, or they didn't carry a chart, so they didn't deliberately drive us in the direction of this small island?" William Pushing open the door of a bedroom, I rummaged around for a while, but found nothing of value, so I grabbed a pillow and went out, continuing to say, "But I guess the captain and the others also have worries in their hearts. Didn’t you notice? The captain, the navigator, these cadres, and their cronies didn’t go deep into the town, they all wandered around the periphery of the town very close to the ship, only some reckless fools happily walked towards the center of the town far away from the ship , some smart old pirates dare not leave the ship too far."

William spat and said, "Those idiots running around like sheep, if they really find the navy, they won't even have time to board the ship."

Aramis is not stupid. After thinking about it, he found that what William said seemed to be correct. He couldn't help but sighed, but he still didn't give up and said: "Actually, you also said that it is not impossible for us to successfully get rid of the navy."

"Perhaps," William sighed too, but he repeated, "but there's nothing wrong with being careful."

Aramis nodded heavily, and then seeing that William stopped moving forward, and instead turned sideways to look at himself, he couldn't help but ask inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

William pushed him angrily: "Lead the way! Find the wine cellar! After we find the wine cellar and move a few barrels of wine, we will go back to the ship. If there is a navy coming, we don't have to worry about being left behind. When those old dogs are captured by the navy When caught and hanged, I wonder who they will think is more foolish then."
