This is my little scallop

Chu Xuan found that the captain Scotland was not as vicious as he imagined, on the contrary, he was very friendly to others.

"Hey, Till, would you like some martin fish?" Pete stood behind Chu Xuan and waved to him, "Today's fish is very fresh."

Thiel stood up, holding his boat repair tool in his hand, "Okay, put it away, I'm almost done."

Pete put down the dinner plate and came to Teal's side to watch him continue to repair the cabin.

"Oh my god, were you born as a ship repairer in your last life? You only spent half a day repairing what I need in three days."

"A friend of mine said the same thing." Till shook his head with a faint smile, and continued to lower his head to mend.

Pete squatted down and looked at Chu Xuan's side face, "Till, where are you from?"

Chu Xuan's hand stopped, and he raised his head to look at Pete, "I'm from Ariton Castle."

Pete understood, he nodded, "Speaking of which, you are really lucky, Teal."

Chu Xuan: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

Pete stared at Chu Xuan's movements, and said, "There was a big tsunami that night, and the hurricane almost overturned our patrolling pirate ship. And you were lying on your boat floating in the sea, the waves and the storm It's unbelievable that you couldn't sink your boat... You must be blessed by the Lord Seagod."

"Peter, are you ready for lunch?" Scotland suddenly appeared behind Pete and said abruptly.

Pete's back felt cold, and he couldn't help straightening up. He stood up and looked at the black-faced Scotland, with a smile on his face, "Oh... yes, Captain! I'll do it now."

Till turned his head and greeted Scotland, "Good morning, Captain."

Scotland nodded, he smiled warmly, his tough face was dark, he was a tough guy with at least good features.

"Good morning, Teal, you seem to be doing well."

"Thank you."

Scotland came to Teal, "Still used to life at sea?"

"Well, I've gotten used to it."

During the days when he was imprisoned by Alex, he had slowly adapted to life at sea.

"That's good." Scotland nodded, and he said, "I heard that you are from Ariton Castle?"

Chu Xuan nodded: "Yes."

"That sounds like a beautiful place."

Scotland looked at the sea in the distance, "I am from Grandis, and the sea there is also very beautiful. I often come to sea to fish, and the marlin back then was twice as big as it is now..."

As Scotland talked, his smile dimmed, the hearty smile in his eyes disappeared, and his eyes turned into the distance.

"You..." Chu Xuan put down the tool in his hand, "Forgive me, did you become a pirate very early?"

"Yes, I was born of the Winterbourne family. The Winterbourne family is the largest pirate family in the north, so I was crowned with a pirate name at birth," Scotch took up the mast, "became notorious Notorious pirate captain."

Chu Xuan looked up at Scotland, "You don't look like a pirate."

"Really?" Scotland looked at Chu Xuan and laughed twice.

"I heard from you that your family is in the northern watershed of the pirates, so...why did you come to the south?"

Scotland looked at the misty sea, the waves were ups and downs, "in order to find."

"What are you looking for?" Chu Xuan stood up and followed Scotland's gaze.

Scotland withdrew his gaze, smiled faintly, and did not answer the question. He jumped off the mast along the side of the ship, "It's time for me to take the crew to patrol."

He walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "The marlin meat is really delicious today, remember to try it."

"Well, okay." Chu Xuan watched Scotland's strong back go away.

He felt that continuing to bend over to mend the cabin, Scotland was sometimes funny and sometimes depressed and quiet, an unpredictable pirate captain.

---

Chu Xuan came to Scotland's cabin and came to the door. The knocker stopped, and he heard the two people inside whispering.

Pete whispered: "Captain, is this really possible?"

"Why not, as long as he inherits the ship, I can..."

Chu Xuan who was behind couldn't hear clearly anymore, he leaned over the door and couldn't hear the conversation inside clearly.

Chu Xuan stood up, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

"Please come in." Chu Xuan opened the door, and saw the pirate captain sitting solemnly, and Pete standing beside him, all looked at Chu Xuan together.

Chu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, feeling that there was something tricky about it.

Scotland sat up straight, "What's the matter with you, Till."

"This is the scabbard you asked for this morning, and it has been repaired." Chu Xuan put the scabbard on Scotland's desk.

"Thank you." Scotland looked at Chu Xuan, "You seem to be able to do everything well."

Chu Xuan: "You are too much."

Scotland and Pete looked at each other, and he straightened his voice, "Pete, you go out first, I have something to say to Till."

"Okay, Captain." Pete nodded, and he walked away step by step.

Scotland stood up, and he looked at Chu Xuan, "Till, I heard you said that you came here to escape the pursuit."

"Yes, Captain."

Scotland put away the scabbard: "Where do you plan to go?"

Chu Xuan thought for a while, then shook his head.

He seemed to have nowhere to go.

Scotland knows: "If you have nowhere to go, you may stay here."

Chu Xuan was taken aback, even if he had nowhere to go, he didn't want to be a pirate: "Thank you, but I..."

Before Chu Xuan finished speaking, Scotland took out a large roll of ocean map from the drawer and spread it out on the table, "Look, this is our pirate watershed."

Chu Xuan was attracted by this wide watershed.

Scotland said: "My pirate family has been fighting in the ocean for generations. The enemy of pirates may be tsunamis, sharks, or humans... My father once said that I will stick to this sea. Pirates Born in the sea, will eventually die in the sea..."

"But, Till, I have beliefs and loves different from those of pirates." Scotland raised his hand and stroked the watershed in the south of the map, "That's what I want to pursue in my life."

Chu Xuan listened carefully to Scotland's words.

Scotland gently caresses the ocean on the map: "Five years ago, I met a mermaid in the south. Her name is Alice. She is so beautiful that I can't move my eyes. The moment I met her, I fell in love with her." her."

"I love her all the time, but she doesn't like me. No, she doesn't like me as a pirate captain. She said she hated pirates, she rejected my love, and disappeared in the southern ocean .”

"I've been looking for her, and I've always admired her. But it's been five years, five years... She doesn't want me to find her again."

Scotland said sadly: "I've thought about it for a long time... If, if I am no longer a pirate, and I no longer need to guard this sea, then maybe she is willing to see me?"

Chu Xuan was a little embarrassed, he hesitated to speak.

He didn't know how to tell Scotland that these were not the root of the problem, the mermaid simply didn't like Scotland.

Scotch's eyes were sad and paranoid, and he seemed to be a different person.

"Till!" Suddenly, he grabbed Chu Xuan's shoulders with all his strength, causing Chu Xuan's pain, and the warmth and generosity in his eyes just now disappeared, turning into excitement and madness: "Please take over my pirate ship! Just right , Didn’t you say you have nowhere to go?”

"No, sorry, I don't want to be a pirate captain." Chu Xuan stepped back.

Sure enough, it was not as simple as Chu Xuan thought.

Chu Xuan pushed Scotland's hand away, "Why don't you let your crew inherit your position?"

"They can't. The Grandis sea witch has stipulated that the old crew members of each pirate captain cannot inherit the captaincy. Otherwise, they will be cursed by the sea god."

Scotland insisted on his attitude, and he said: "Besides, to tell you the truth. My crew have followed me to the south to search for Alice in the past few years, and they have exhausted almost all their financial resources. They are all weak or even seriously ill, and they are no longer able to take over. I can't let them leave this pirate ship alone..."

Chu Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth in his heart.

It turned out that Scotland wanted him to take over this mess of his own making.

"Till, you are blessed by the sea god. I believe you can be a good captain and take good care of my crew." Scotland smiled and patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder.

And then take care of them until they die?

At this moment, Chu Xuan's previous friendly impression of Scotland was completely overturned.

He did not expect that Scotland was such a selfish person.

Chu Xuan shook off Scotland's hand: "I can help you repair the cabin as a reward for saving me, but I will not be a pirate, nor will I inherit this pirate ship."

The smile in Scotland's eyes disappeared, and he grabbed Chu Xuan's arm violently.

"Hey, it's the ship from the Outer Basin that's chasing you. It's less than five nautical miles away. If you don't agree to inherit my pirate ship," Scotland said indifferently, "I'll give them you as a bargaining chip."

Chu Xuan rejected Scotland, and he suddenly felt chilled.

The mood of the day is like a roller coaster, and he deeply understands the selfishness and indifference of human nature.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath.

He looked at Scotland, "Why don't you just abandon your crew and ship and leave, but are busy looking for an outsider to be your heir?"

"If you abandon them, you will really be cursed by the sea god, right?" Chu Xuan hit the nail on the head, dismantling Scotland's rhetoric.

"You said that you made them weak and seriously ill because you were looking for Alice. Now the pirate ship is empty of people and money, so you don't want to take care of this mess anymore. Or maybe, looking for Alice is also your excuse, and you just want to resign." Chu Xuan looked at Scotland coldly, "You are so selfish to the extreme, no wonder the Alice you speak of doesn't like you."

Scotland's eyebrows twitched angrily, "You...you guy who doesn't know how to be grateful."

His cheeks were flushed with anger, and after being exposed by Chu Xuan, his face seemed to drop to the ground, and his anger was uncontrollable.

"Pete!" cried the Scot, looking very ugly, "tell that steamer in the Outer Waters that we have a deal to make with them."

Pete hurried over, he opened the door, and saw Chu Xuan with his hands bound, "Yes..."

Pete left Scotland's cabin indifferently, obeyed Scotland's arrangement, and sailed to the outer waters with a few crew members.

"Damn it, Scola, can you stop coughing, you're about to cough up your lungs." Peter indifferently glanced at Scola who was rowing beside him, "You might as well just die, for our pirate ship Save some food."

Pete was completely different from himself who had a friendly conversation with Chu Xuan in the morning.

Perhaps this is his nature as a pirate.

Scola tried his best, the corners of his lips were desolately white, his body was weak, but he was still driven by Pete to work.

---

Chu Xuan's hands were tied behind him, and in less than a day, he would never see Alex's pious face again.

Alex stood above the ship, he was still cool and elegant, his eyes were gloomy and indifferent, he looked down at Chu Xuan who was restrained opposite him.

Alex said to the servants beside him: "Tell them, I will give them [-] gold coins in exchange for their captives."

Pete laughed happily when he heard the amount of gold coins, which was enough to maintain their pirate ship for two or three years.

Scotland tugged on Chu Xuan's collar, and he said to Pete, "Tell the other side, pay fifty thousand gold coins before we hand it over."

Chu Xuan struggled, and he glanced at Scotland with contempt.

Scotland kicked Chu Xuan back, and Chu Xuan fell to his knees straight on the ground, his knee hit the wooden board, causing him to gasp in pain.

Scotland: "Have you forgotten, I am a pirate."

Chu Xuan stared at Scotland with even more contempt in his eyes.

Alex heard the conditions of the visitor, and the servant beside him frowned, "Master Paladin, he is nothing more than a dirty traitor, and those shameless pirates actually want fifty thousand gold coins. My lord, it's not as good as ours!" Forget it, just kill him right here."

Alex looked at Chu Xuan's face, and violently kicked away the servant beside him, his attachment to Chu Xuan pierced into his heart.

No, this is something he has worked so hard to get back, and he wants to destroy it himself.

Alex said: "Go and prepare fifty thousand gold coins for them."

The servant beside him got up, "My lord..."

"go with!"

"Yes Yes……"

Pete came to Scotland's side, he smiled excitedly and said: "Captain, they said they have prepared [-] gold coins, the condition is to let Till take their ship, and the gold coins will be placed on that ship."

Scotch glanced at the ship between them and nodded, "Then do as they say."

"Till, my crew will also thank you. The fifty thousand gold coins are my reward for saving you."

Chu Xuan glanced at Scotland coldly. He was pushed onto the ship. Pete happily sailed back to the pirate ship with fifty thousand gold coins.

Chu Xuan turned around and looked back at Alex, endless exhaustion filled his heart.

The boat was slowly heading towards Alex.

But he didn't want to see Alex's face again.

He rose to his feet, unaware of the two servants at his side who were pinning him down, and he shoved hard against the boat.

Alex noticed Chu Xuan's strangeness: "Quick, grab him!"

The hull was unstable and suddenly capsized under the sea.

Chu Xuan sank into the icy sea, and he closed his eyes wearily.

Everything is quiet.

In the chaotic consciousness, it seemed that there was a hand around his waist.

Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a corner of the black robe beside him, he raised his head to look at the person behind him.

His eyes were slightly dazed, and even in the hazy vision in the sea, he could still make out the face of that person.

It's Hughes!

Hughes hugged him and floated above the sea, he and Chu Xuan's black eyes looked at each other.

Chu Xuan's eye circles suddenly turned red, and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye. He stared straight at Hughes' face, not daring to blink.

Is it a dream?

Hughes suddenly felt pain in his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Chu Xuan's eyes, only to see that Chu Xuan was staring at him.

Hughes hugged Chu Xuan's leg, and caught a glimpse of the redness on his knee. He wiped away the pain for Chu Xuan, "Don't cry, little slave."

"Damn Andrew, it's so slow, I'll kill him when I go back." Hughes said softly.

Chu Xuan couldn't hold back, and shed two more tears. His lips were red, and he tightly clenched the hem of Hughes' clothes.

Hughes felt a pang in his heart, he supported the back of Chu Xuan's head, brought his face into his arms, and gently followed Chu Xuan's hair. "Now, my little slave, stop crying."

"Did they bully you?"

A tyrannical killing intent flashed across Hughes' eyes: "Then, let's kill them all."
