Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

As soon as the shout sounded, the crew stood up reflexively, and the bosun commanded everyone to take weapons and guard the cabin.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the strong discipline even made Hawley feel that these people were not pirates, but the navy.

The fire under the chafing dish was extinguished, and the deck was almost drowned in darkness.The shadow behind the ship is getting bigger and bigger, judging by its size, it is not much smaller than the Sienna.

Everyone held their breaths and guarded until a slight whistle came from the opposite side.

The whistle sounded three times and then quickly, repeated over and over again, and everyone heard it more and more clearly—this was a signal specially used for trade negotiations at sea.

A bear's head was carved on the horn of the opposing ship—its wide snout, its fangs glowing silver in the night, came roaring to the side of the Sienna.

The ships on both sides were parallel, less than three meters apart.

At this time, a man wrapped in a dark red cloth came out from behind the sailors.He had deep eye sockets and a high hooked nose.Perhaps affected by the night, the skin tone looks extra dark.

His left foot doesn't seem to be very good, so when he stepped forward, his foot movements were a bit unnatural.

"Alena—my beautiful captain, these days when I don't see you, I miss you every night, and I don't know how many times I left a love poem 'written' for you in my dream on the bedding."

As he spoke, the man opened his arms wide, as if to cross the gap and embrace Alaina.

The sailors on the opposite side burst into laughter and screamed and booed strangely.

The crew members of the Sienna couldn't help drawing their swords one after another, aiming at the man's head,

"If you don't make a deal, get out." Alena's eyes were cold, and she ignored the other party's obscenities.

"Don't be angry, although your angry appearance is more exciting..." The man's eyes were sticky like a snake, he swept across her body, and then turned around to see Bobby next to him, "It makes me sad that you have A new love?"

Alena's cheeks bulged slightly, she gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time, when she heard that he involved Bobby, she finally pulled out her hidden weapon.

"Olen! If you dare to say something dirty again, I'll punch your head through!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient." The man named Oren surrendered, pretending to beg for mercy.

Then I heard him say: "I want to buy from you fifteen catties of coarse salt, twenty catties of fruit, and eighty catties of wheat semolina. I will pay you sixty silver in total. How about it?"

According to the price on land, sixty silver is more than enough to buy these materials; but here is at sea, the situation is special, the price of the necessary materials is usually several times higher.

"At least eighty silver." Alena replied firmly.The Sienna is often traded at sea, and the price she gives is also very in line with the market at sea.

Oren's face gradually became serious, and he said, "At most seventy silver. You know, I need these things urgently."

If it is counted in the past, Alaina naturally doesn't mind a little more delay, and then give in with seventy silver.

But it’s so hard to die, the opposite is the Brown Bear—and the captain of the Brown Bear, Oren, had not robbed enough and wanted to invade her. He killed several crew members on the way, and eventually the two ships formed a bridge.

No matter how much she said, Alaina would not bargain for him. She put her arms around her chest and refused to back down.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and in the silence, a puff of gunpowder smoke spread out.

When the atmosphere became tense and tense, Oren suddenly sneered.

He said: "The remaining ten silvers will count as I will buy you for one night."

The bowstring was stretched to the limit, and Alena laughed back angrily: "If you can't pay, get out, and use the money to cure your lame leg!"

Oren also grinned grimly: "You shameless female cousin, don't blame me for falling out - fuck me! Don't keep a single one alive!"

With an order, several grapples flew from below and hooked firmly to the side of the ship.Some sailors crawled to the front along the thick rope.

The first few were dealt with by the crew of the Sienna one by one, and part of the grapple was also cut off.However, as the weight of the enemy ship's personnel was pulled, the distance between the two ships gradually narrowed.

Above, sailors slid along the sail ropes all the way to the deck of the Sienna.

The battle between the two sides can be said to be on the verge of breaking out, with swords colliding and rubbing together.Soon, there was a sword piercing into the body, and a series of shouts and wailing echoed on the sea.

Hawley saw that something was wrong early in the morning, so he sent Wilmer to hide in the room.Little Skull's fighting strength is insufficient, and he must guard the stairs with other crew members.

There was a scuffle on the deck, and Alena and Bobby dealt with the captain and first mate of the Brown Bear together.

The wind magic blows the surrounding sea into waves, and everyone is shaking and fighting.In the dark night, with the raging wind, some of the overturned boxes fell on the sailors, and brought them down to the bottom of the sea together with many things!

Following the trajectory of the wind, several hidden arrows shot towards Oren one after another.Although Oren was lame, he reacted swiftly at critical moments and moved very sensitively, avoiding hidden weapon attacks one after another.

He quickly approached Alena, his single sword resisted the latter's double swords, obviously his strength was not weak.

Although the two knives couldn't hurt Oren, the gusts of wind from the knives passed through his clothes and blew into his body without seeing any blood, which was really uncomfortable.

It's been so long, why hasn't Alena's ship been burned?

He couldn't help becoming irritable. During the fight, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a bunch of torches poured on the board of the boat, but he couldn't make the wood burn no matter what.

"...What's going on?!" Oren roared angrily from the bottom of his heart, and roared at the same time.

"What's going on? Oh, you mean the practice of burning ships?" Alaina crossed her swords in front of her body, and suddenly exerted force, colliding with the opponent's blades, reaching Oren's face.

With a half-smile, she spoke softly like a ghost: "It's going to be settled here anyway, so I might as well tell you the truth: it's because I have 'mermaid tears'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream pierced Oren's eardrums. His first officer was not far ahead, and his legs were cut off by the man holding the heavy sword.

Oren felt a chill all over his body: the chill in his heart was because if the hull couldn't burn, the chances of winning would be lost by at least half; the chill outside his body was because he could really feel that the man who killed the first mate with a single knife was holding a knife that was trembling. air conditioner.

——and he was approaching himself step by step.

Just at this moment, a dazzling glare rose in front of it, scorching like a raging fire, illuminating the entire Sienna, even as if it was going to swallow the night!

The sailors of the Sienna were excited like crazy, and launched a fierce attack on the side of the Brown Bear.

Damn it, they actually have someone who can use light magic!

Seeing that the situation was one-sided and unable to fight against the two magicians, Oren turned around and ran away.

Limping, he rushed to the edge of the ship at high speed. Just as he pounced on the Brown Bear, a strong air current flew him out, threw him to the bow, and then rolled down to the bear's head.

However, before Oren recovered from the severe pain and grabbed the bear's head, his body slid uncontrollably to the bottom of the sea.

The sea below was still churning, and the waves hit the bottom of the boat, making waves.At the last moment of the fall, Oren's eyes widened.

——Because he saw a wave that condensed into ice in an instant, like an upside-down guillotine, and he had no power to fight back at this moment, and fell face-to-face bit by bit.

"Pfft—!"

"The captain is dead——!!!"

Someone witnessed the whole process and screamed in panic.

This sound pierced through the night, and the people on the Brown Bear were even more confused.

There are rules among the pirates. During the battle between the two sides, if the captain and first mate of one side die in battle, the battle is irreversible.

The spoils obtained by the winning party will be all of the losing party.

On the Brown Bear, some sailors began to jump into the sea or pull out the barge, abandoning the ship and fleeing for their lives.

The victory or defeat is very clear, the enemy has been defeated, even without the blessing of Holly's light magic now, the morale of the sailors on the Sienna is soaring, and the enemy is beaten to the ground.

In a few moments, they were completely victorious.

The sea surface returned to calm, the wind and waves disappeared, and if there were no reminders from the corpses all over the ground, it seemed that there had never been a bloody battle.

The sailors raised their swords and cheered, and Alena was more joyful than tired.She finally found a positive opportunity to avenge those brothers who died at Oren's hands, and she didn't let the crew members bleed in vain tonight.

"Go and bring back your spoils—my boys! This is your due!"

"Oh----!!!" The crew shouted with arms raised.

After yelling such a voice, Alena felt a little weak, and tripped on the sole of her foot, but someone held her firmly.

Her high ponytail was all messed up, her hair ties fell out of nowhere, and her red hair fell loosely over Bobby's arms.

They looked at each other and smiled, and then laughed more and more presumptuously. The long-lost tacit battle made the two of them very happy.

Hawley saw the two adults hugging Shale each other, their facial features wrinkled, and they ran to the cabin where Wilmer was without looking back.

As soon as the door was opened, Holly shouted with a laugh: "Come out, we've won!"

A dark mass sneaked out of the low cabinet, and then threw itself into his arms.

Thinking that the little skull was frightened, Holly rubbed his shoulders and patted his back to comfort him: "Let's go, let's go and see what's on the opposite boat. The miscellaneous things outside may not be cleaned up yet. If you are afraid, just hold me and shut up." Close your eyes and follow me."

Wilmer nodded slightly, and followed Holly out the door.

He was really scared—not because of the fight and the bodies outside, but because of Holly getting hurt.

Even with the backlight just now, he could vaguely see the scars on Holly's face.There may be more wounds hidden under the clothes.

... But seeing the man's face full of enthusiasm, Wilmer sighed quietly, and will help him deal with it when he comes back.

The two of them stepped on the deck of the Brown Bear, and some sailors were "looting" the spoils, carrying the goods and filing out, their faces full of joy of harvest.

Strolling all the way to the bottom of the boathouse, Hawley wanted to see how much fresh water was left, but he heard a faint creaking sound and the sound of something bumping repeatedly.

At first I only thought it was a mouse, but the impact was rhythmic, and when I got closer, I could tell that the timbre belonged to a girl.

He coated the dagger he used for Wilmer's self-defense with a layer of white light, and then he held the hilt of the sword and approached slowly.

The noise became more and more intense, and under the light that was not too strong, he finally saw clearly what it was.

——a person whose hands and feet are bound, with a cloth covering his head, and who is constantly struggling.

He lifted the hood, revealing the girl's beautiful face: slightly curly black hair, messy yet satin-like texture, irises seemed to be quenched into gold, paired with a pair of big and smart eyes, shining and charming.

The girl's facial features are as exquisite as a doll, and I feel pity for anyone.Holly was indeed dazed at first, but more, he noticed that the girl had vertical pupils.

Orcs?Orcs with vertical pupils are very common.

Holly squatted down, removed the cloth covering the girl's mouth, and waited until she finished coughing and retching before asking, "What's your name?"

"Ahem... who are you?"

The girl's eyes were full of vigilance, and she stared at the green-eyed boy in front of her.

"Then let me ask another question—how did you get tied up?"

After a moment of silence, the girl replied: "I was lost with my relatives, and then I was caught. I was going to be sold as a slave, but I was kidnapped halfway... I don't know those people, and I don't know that they want to take me. where to go."

Hawley is not interested in how many details are concealed, or how many lies are mixed in.This girl looked younger than Wilmer, but she answered the questions in a clear and orderly manner, unhurried, and unbelievably calm.

Coupled with appearance and temperament, he can only be a child raised by nobles.

"What about the people who kidnapped you?" Hawley asked.

"There are two of them, they just left not long ago, not long ago." The girl lowered her eyes and thought, "Before I left, I seemed to hear them say..."

"They said they were going to find a boat and get out of here quickly."

At this moment, soft footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Wilmer watched Holly's back and saw a human silhouette gradually emerging from the shadows, but he knew that at this moment he must not startle the enemy.

He clenched the dagger in his right hand, tapped Holly's back with his left hand a few times, and then slowly moved to the brim of his hat.

The moment the shadow became clear, Wilmer pulled back his cap, revealing the skull under the cloak.

The person on the opposite side froze, followed by a shrill cry.

"Damn it-!!!"

"Plop!" With a sound, he fell to the ground.

Wilmer: ...

Holly: ...

How could Hawley not notice the abnormality? From the moment he entered the door, he felt that there was something abnormal in that direction.

It was precisely because there was only one place that he dared to bring Wilmer in openly.

Originally, I wanted to draw it out to have a look, but I didn't know that this person's psychological quality was so poor, so I just walked over in fright.

He turned his head to look at Wilmer with a complicated face: "Good job! Come on, I will teach you how to tie people, and the knot that gets tighter and tighter."

Immediately, they removed the thick rope behind the door, and bound the person into a strange posture in a strange way.The problem is that the two are happy and happy, and the cabin is full of warm and harmonious atmosphere.

girl:……?

The girl didn't know how to speak for a moment, and when she saw the moving skeleton, she also wanted to yell out in panic, but the following series of developments made her feel aggrieved that her words were stuck in her throat.

If you tell it to Holly, then Holly can instantly understand that this feeling is called too many mouths.

"Wait...can you tie me and untie the rope first?" The girl interrupted them with a loud voice.

The two of Holly looked up, just staring, without speaking.

"I, I will not attack you, let alone do anything to you, please, can you help me? Just give me a boat, and I will leave by myself!"

"It's midnight now, do you know what you're talking about?" Holly asked in a deep voice.

"I know." Seeing hope, the girl struggled to sit up and replied eagerly, "Of course I know! As long as you are willing to help, I have a way to leave by myself. Besides, I also know where I am going."

Speaking of this, Holly stopped expressing anything and helped the girl untie her.

The three of them climbed onto the deck, and Hawley went to prepare the barge for her, prepared some food for the girl, and informed her of her current location.

In the line of collecting corpses, the girl recognized one of them as the other person who kidnapped her.

Boarding the barge staggeringly, the girl seemed to be relieved at last, and her beautiful face showed the spirit of a little girl.

Her eyes were curved, and round and lovely arcs formed on both sides of her cheeks, and she asked the green-eyed boy who sent her to the boat: "What's your name, you two? I will always remember that you are my savior. See you again, and I will definitely repay you well.”

According to the current situation, it is inconvenient for Hawley and the others to disclose their names, so they just leaned on the side of the boat and shook their heads.

The girl was a little lost. While rowing the oars, she turned her head from time to time, engraving the faces of the two deeply in her mind.

Watching the girl leave, Hawley led Wilmer back to the Sienna.

Everything was moved about the same, all the corpses of the enemy were thrown into the sea, and Hawley noticed that Alena directed the sailors to put the corpses of several of her own crew members on the Brown Bear.

"The boat is gone?" he asked Alena suspiciously.

"No more." Alena's voice was slightly hoarse, "I sent someone to check the ship, and the internal damage is a bit serious, including the keel."

"Instead of spending more money on refurbishments, it's better to use it as a send-off number for the crew."

The Brown Bear had already been set on fire, and the fire spread rapidly, and in a short while, it was already burning with raging fire.

On board the Sienna, sailors sing a farewell song.The tune is not as low and sad as Holly imagined, but a little light tune with a long length.

Some sailors used wind magic to push the ship further.

Like the starlight floating on the sea, the fire rises, and the ship never goes out.

"The ship is never extinguished, just like the hymn of the soul, stirring in the sea..."

"...you should go far away, wandering in the sea of ​​stars, with eternal courage and enthusiasm, and finally set off for your hometown..."

At the end of the song, the people did not disperse.

Aden walked up to Holly at some point, and explained in a low voice, "Actually, the Sienna is not a pirate ship."

"I only found out this after I boarded the ship. The seniors said that Captain Alena started her business as a merchant ship. With her good reputation, the merchant ship's reputation has gradually increased, and she has gradually dealt with more people. While the benefits are exchanged, some troubles also come. come behind.

"The captain has a friend who is a pirate. A transaction was witnessed by her colleagues who were jealous of the Sienna. Not long after, there were rumors that Alena was a pirate in many ports.

"Business was affected. Those days were the lowest period of the Sienna. Many colleagues not only fell into trouble, but also took advantage of the fire-but Captain Alena and her crew were not vegetarian. They fought back one by one, Let those people stay away and dare not provoke them.

"It's useless to explain, because the power of rumors is huge. The captain simply stopped talking in vain. Although he didn't fly the pirate flag, he didn't deny that he was a pirate. She led a group of sailors, recast the cornerstone, and bit by bit the Sienna The credibility of the company has been established again, so it is today.

"You have also seen that the Sienna is strictly disciplined, the food is good, and the treatment is very good, otherwise I would not be looking forward to joining this ship.

"Because Captain Alena's ability to control, and the fact that she loves her crew and is generous to her subordinates, are widely circulated at sea.

"Not only would she not starve any of the crew, but most importantly, she treated each of us as a true human being, not a tool, or a slave.

"So, today the captain will use the highest ceremony of sending off a hero at sea to see off the sacrificed sailors.

"Even if the person lying there is an unknown person like me."

Holly listened quietly, his gaze following the fireboat to the end.

There was no change in his expression, and he was still calm.It's just that the eyes are deep, and there is something heavy inside.

Having experienced countless life and death partings, and even died once, facing these things again, he will not be like Aden, who can't cry when he talks about it.

But deep in my heart, I was full of emotions and touched a lot.

He also sang the farewell song silently in his heart to his subordinates and comrades-in-arms in the previous life.

He has a chance to come back, but he doesn't know if they have it.In any case, even if they died in vain, they were the best fighters in Holly's heart.

... I don't know what happened to the Wilmer knight in the previous life?

That's all.Anyway, wish him all the best.
