Codex Pirates

Chapter 49 Misfit Chloe

After drinking, Leisi left the tavern with William and a group of his staff, and the tavern owner naturally didn't dare to go up to collect money.

The group of drinkers who were still in the tavern watched the group of people leave with complicated expressions, some were grateful, some were disgusted, and some were envious.

In the turbulent era of great pirates, in fact, many people know that not all pirates can end well. The navy and the world government have tirelessly arrested and even publicly executed those well-known pirates, but there are still no one who chooses to go to the pirate road. Being intimidated, there is an endless stream, because everyone wants to be the one with unlimited scenery, even if it is only the scenery in front of people, even if it is only a momentary scenery.

William followed Reis to the pier. At this time, the pier has become a paradise for pirates. The rough dock workers who wandered around the pier in the past, the businessmen who chattered and urged the workers, and the loud sailors have all disappeared. A group of vicious pirates were left drinking and chatting here without any restraint.

Unextinguished cigarette butts, empty wine bottles, and food scraps are all over the open space. The merchant ships that were moored at the pier have long since run away, but there are still some goods that have not had time to move, and have been abandoned at the pier. He was not polite, he disassembled the goods at will, stuffed them into his arms when he saw valuables inside, and threw those that were useless to the ground.

Chaos is William's first impression of this, but he has lived in the Denton Pirates for a while and knows the virtues of pirates, so he is not surprised by this.

What William paid more attention to was the pirate ship moored beside the pier. Standing below and looking up, the towering bow and stern decks were more oppressive, and the cannons exposed on the side were shiny in the sunlight. Several gunners were sitting on the bollards not far away, pointing at the cannons and talking loudly about what would happen to the town if a cannonball hit them.

Reis led William and others through the chaos, and walked onto his own warship along a wooden plank. Some old pirates passing by pointed at William's back.

As soon as he boarded the boat, he saw a young man wearing round glasses stopped Reis.

"Deputy captain, you'd better take care of the people at the dock. I originally wanted to count the goods left by those merchant ships, but now the whole dock has been messed up by them, and I can't do anything." The young man pushed Pushing the glasses, he said with some dissatisfaction.

William looked at this young man who was about his age with interest. The reason why William was interested in this man was very simple, because his appearance was really incompatible with the pirate on the ship.

Pirates naturally don't have the same uniform as the navy, and they dress in various ways, but no matter what they wear, most of them have one characteristic, that is, sloppy.

This is determined by living conditions, because fresh water at sea is an important commodity, and there are not so many resources for people to take care of their appearance and keep them clean.

In addition, because it can be stored for a longer period of time compared with fresh water, there is often a lot of wine stored on each sea ship, which also makes most pirates alcoholics.

As for the man in front of him, although William noticed that traces of sweat stains could still be seen in inconspicuous places, such as the cuffs and the inside of the collar, it could be seen that he was still trying his best to keep it clean, and he was still wearing the same clothes. A formal suit.

As mentioned above, most people would not choose to wear such inconvenient clothes due to the living environment of pirates and frequent battles. This made William, who has lived on a pirate ship, look at him more. A few glances.

Contact Ward's confession of information, this person should be the quartermaster on the ship, the rather mysterious Crowe.

Reis frowned slightly after hearing Crowe's slightly accusatory words, and asked, "What about the captain?"

"The captain is taking a bath, and Mr. Hayreddin is discussing the next travel plan with him." Quartermaster Crowe also glanced at William, who was born in front of him, but he didn't pay much attention, and then set his eyes on Reis.

Reis turned his head to look at the already chaotic pier, and waved his hand indifferently: "It's too late to stop them now, I'll go to the captain first."

Crowe hesitated to speak, he was selected by Arcadio from his trading company to send the pirate ship, although he was very dissatisfied with this decision, but Crowe is not the one who will be quite famous in the East China Sea in the future The big pirate is just a small character with some skills and brains who relies on the trading company for his life, and he can't defy Arcadio's will.

His usual job is to count materials and goods for the pirate group, and he also plays a supervisory role secretly, because Arcadio also has a share of the results of the pirate ship according to the agreement.

Strictly speaking, the batch of goods on the wharf can be regarded as the result of the war. It is obviously impossible to count the pirates casually rummaging through their hidden possessions.

If it were someone else, they might have offended people because there were not many of these goods, so they would ignore them, but Crowe hated the life of pirates very much, so he kept hugging Arcadio's thigh tightly, always showing his dedication Do your best, and hope that the other party can see this and let him "get out of the sea of ​​suffering" as soon as possible.

It's just this kind of performance, which naturally makes the pirates feel even more annoying. Reis is a person who knows Crowe's identity, and he knows that he will not be of one mind with the people on the ship, so in addition to hating, there is a little more alienation.

Reis didn't give Crowe a chance to continue talking, and signaled his confidantes to stay, while he took William away quickly.

Before William left, he smiled at Crowe, but the other party responded indifferently to his kindness, only glanced at him, and then turned back to do his own thing.

William didn't care, and followed Reis to the door of the captain's cabin at the stern. Reis didn't push the door rashly, but knocked lightly on the door first.

After a while, a shrill voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

"Hailedin, it's me, Lace." Lace glanced at William, "I brought a newcomer aboard. He's good at it. Bring it here for the captain to see."

"Wait a minute." Hayreddin's shrill voice sounded from behind the door again.

After a while, there was a sound of heavy objects being moved behind the door. William's ears moved slightly, and he noticed that there seemed to be many locks behind the door, and he didn't know why.

The people behind the door struggled for a while before the heavy wooden door opened. When William followed Lace in, he saw a fat man with a terrifying face standing by the door.

Hayreddin! From the first time William saw each other, he knew his identity.

This fat man with half of his face ruined was the navigator on the ship, but he had a grumpy and cruel temper, and everyone on the ship feared him.

When Hayreddin saw William looking at him, he grinned at him. The room was already a little dark, and with Hayreddin's yin and yang face, this smile not only did not show any kindness, but felt terrifying.

According to Ward, Varon fell into the hands of this man, who cut off his limbs and threw him into the sharks.

Murderous intent appeared in William's heart, but he turned his head away with a look of fear on his face.

Seeing this, Hayreddin smiled even more proudly.
