captain migraine

Zhizhi was right, it was early October at this time, seeing the summer heat coming to an end, McGarr thought they would at least have a pleasant and relaxing autumn and welcome the New Year—but now it seems that everything They were all in vain, the Lady Lovibon came and went without a trace, and no one knew how to contact them.

So Leosa, who was originally scheduled to return to Mermaid Harbor, regained the right to board the Stormrage. Before the red-haired boy landed on the chair in the captain's lounge, Caesar kindly told him that his mission had been cancelled. Now, it has been changed to another one: from today's sunset, the Hornet will turn around and head west, while the Stormrage will head east, and the fleet will split up. After half a month, that is, on October 28, Fortunately, this place is now round, and then we will go to the legendary "Sunset Kingdom".

"Why should I go?" Leoza snorted, and refused very resolutely.

As for the half-brother, the captain of the Stormrage seems to have been prepared for a long time. When the boy across the table showed him a disdainful expression, the man didn't even shake his eyelids. After a pause, he said firmly, "Because you have to go."

"Even if I find Margarita, I won't bring her to you." Leoza slapped the table and stood up, staring at the stable man, and said coldly, "I refuse to share the treasures of the Fountain of Youth with you. Even a gold coin."

Unexpectedly, Caesar smiled.

There was undisguised malice and banter in that smile.

This kind of smile made everyone present feel uncomfortable. Reike seemed hesitant to speak, while McGarl frowned slightly, and Zhi Zhi shivered coldly, tightly clutching McGarl's arm, The hard nails of the fingers almost sank into the tuskarr's skin—

"Yes." Next, everyone heard the captain of the Stormrage say lightly, "All the treasures inside will be given to you. We can make a contract. You know why I found the Fountain of Youth."

Leoza froze for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Caesar's quickness. He raised his slender jaw slightly to form a proud arc, and his golden pupils, like the sun, fixedly stared at his brother's face. Double amber pupils——When the two of them looked at each other like this, it was the first time that McGarl on the side discovered that, as brothers, they also have something in common, that is, at least when they looked at each other with disgust At that moment, the pupils shrunk slightly, and the tense appearance of the whole person was surprisingly similar.

In the end, Leosa didn't see any flaws in Caesar's eyes.

So the two quickly drew up a contract and both signed it, grabbed one of them and rolled it up quickly, Leosa glanced at McGarr unwillingly, and viciously knocked down the Stormrage.

In the evening of the same day, the Hornet, which had been with the Stormrage for a long time, led its fleet of ships to turn around and leave the huge fleet.

When Leosa left, the sun was slowly sinking into the water from the horizon, and the afterglow of the sun burned the sea red, as if at the end of the sky, the whole world was burning in raging flames ——On the sea far away from the land, you can only see a piece of blue sea as far as you can see, and even the chirping of seagulls and ravens can no longer be heard, and it is in such an environment that the Stormrage, with its unwavering perseverance Gesture led thousands of sailors to conquer the sea again and again.

"What are you thinking about?"

The man's deep voice interrupted McGarr's contemplation. His arrival blocked half of the sea wind. The black figure enveloped the black-haired young man. Caesar bent slightly, holding the side of the boat with one hand. A person would probably mistakenly think that the captain and his men are playing with the Titanic on the bow at this moment.

However, Caesar just used this posture to lean out of Stormrage, and following McGarr's gaze, he saw the Spanish flag on Leosa's ship fluttering in the wind from a distance, which was not generally high-profile.

"Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?" Stretching out his big hand, he clasped the black-haired young man's chin and forcibly turned to himself. When he found that the other party's face was rarely slumped, Caesar raised his eyebrows in surprise, " Are you really reluctant to give up to me? Find out, in the eyes of that dwarf, those damn gold coins in the fountain of youth seem to be much more important than you."

At the end of the sentence, Caesar almost sneered.

McGarl did not speak at all, he moved, gave half of the chair under his buttocks, and then patted Caesar to sit down - the latter sat down unceremoniously after thinking for three seconds, although the two The big man made this loose armchair look a bit forced, but it was the first time for the captain to sit on a soft armchair on the side of the ship to watch the sunset, and it was a novelty.

"Look, that place is the land of the sunset." McGarr stretched out his hand and pointed to the horizon where the sun was about to disappear. The black-haired young man paused after saying this, without waiting for the man to answer his question. He turned his head, his black pupils were extremely bright under the fiery red afterglow of the sun, "However, no one knows what lies behind the gate of the so-called Kingdom of the Sunset."

"Ah," Caesar seemed a little unconcerned about the walrus man's disjointed words. He waved his hand, trying to disperse the almost scorching gaze in front of him—after trying twice, he simply He stretched out his hand to cover the walrus officer's eyes endlessly, "No matter what is waiting for me there, I will go."

He covered McGarr's eyes, unable to see the change of emotion in his eyes.

However, he could see that under his big palm, there was a small piece of pointed and white chin, and McGarr's lips were gradually tightening, and finally, it became an arc of stubbornness and other complicated emotions.

Caesar opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again when he felt his palm being brushed by the opponent's eyelashes.

"I shouldn't have come back."

"Huh?" The captain was a little puzzled, "Where are you going back?"

"If I had known this would be the end, I should have stayed in my place in the first place—even if it was actually a dream, if staying there meant I was going to die like this."

Can't understand a word.

The expression on Caesar's face became a little more serious, and the big palm covering the walrus man's face seemed to have exerted some punitive strength. He frowned and asked with some displeasure, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

Not answered.

McGarl raised his hands, and gently took his hands off his face. He blinked vigorously—yes, it was probably a very common blink, and it was a human being to prevent the eyeballs from It was a dry subconscious physiological reaction, but in Caesar's view, at this moment, the young man in front of him was doing this simple action very seriously and with full concentration.

As if to divert attention.

McGarl let go of his tightly pursed lips, he let out a soft breath, let go of his hands holding Caesar's wrist, tilted his head, and suddenly asked without beginning or end: "If there is a kingdom of sunset, Have you ever heard of the Land of the Rising Sun?"

Caesar didn't answer, and the captain was staring at his still warm wrist in a daze.

"Hey," the walrus officer who didn't get an answer obviously wasn't ready to ask himself this time, he stretched out his hand and patted the captain's cheek, "I'm asking you something, why are you in a daze?"

This rebellious behavior made the captain of the Stormrage, the boss, feel a little uncomfortable. He slapped the walrus officer's hand away, and said with a stiff face, "I will answer you if you ask me?"

"Nonsense," the walrus officer rolled his eyes, "it was hard for me to make up my mind to continue talking to you."

"Neuropathy."

"Not as seriously ill as you."

"I've never heard of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, did you make it up?"

"I have that leisurely mind?"

"Then where did you hear it? I've only heard of 'The Land of the Sunset', which is recorded together with the Mermaid's Harbor in the ancient documents of the Fountain of Youth. It's a real thing—where are you going?" Some folklore came to ask me?" Caesar snorted domineeringly.

"Things you haven't heard are just hearsay?" The seal walrus raised one corner of his lips mockingly, "Then why do you think the Sinan fish is playing with you?"

"what?"

"The fish that led you to the harbor where you found the merman."

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly, and grasped the point very accurately: "As expected, you already knew what that was."

"..."

"If you don't report what you know, your wages will be deducted."

"It's just like, but I didn't say it must be!" McGarl frowned, "Who knows if that thing is the thing I know, what if it is not? Take all of you into the trench to fill the sea?"

"Take it as soon as you see it. If you say one more word, I will reward you with a whip."

"..."

The topic was taken thousands of miles away.

In the end, McGarl failed to get any information about the "Land of the Rising Sun"—and Caesar obviously didn't take this "fake legend I heard from nowhere" to heart.

……

In the following days, the Stormrage headed eastward on the Mediterranean Sea, passing through Algiers and Djerba Island. They passed by these familiar places without stopping. The voyage of purpose—

They searched for a full ten days, but found no clues of the Mrs. Lovibond. They asked all the intelligence sources at sea, but those intelligence sources told the battered pirate leader that the information in their hands showed that when the Mrs. Lovibond appeared last time, It was the encounter with the Stormrage a few months ago.

Seeing that the fifteen days agreed with Leosa were coming.

Seeing that the four-yearly big full moon in Zhizhikou is coming soon on the first day of November.

On the raven that Leosa sent, he confessed the fact that he also got nothing in a very sincere and irritable manner.

Caesar almost gave up.

However, just when Caesar was almost hesitant to order to return to the meeting point agreed with Leosa, on that moonless night, the sea once again became foggy.

In desperation, an ancient giant ship splashed out of the sea, and Margarita stood just below the mast of the Lady Lovibon, waving cheerfully at Caesar on Stormrage.

Well, they caught up after all.McGarr propped his chin on one hand, lazily lying on the side of the ship, thinking, it is really very hopeless.
