Chapter 100

The burly pirate looked at Malvern and raised his eyebrows. "Are you a cook?"

No wonder he suspects that Malvern's dress is not as good as that of a cook. The farmer's son looks very high-class, with a wig, lace embroidered at the cuffs and neckline, and a jacket sewn close to his waist. But now he only has white silk stockings on his feet, and his beautiful boots are counted in the war when he is searched Li Pin Zhong.

He nodded busily, "I My mother runs a small hotel in Canterbury and I help when she's short of staff

The burly pirate looked suspicious, especially when he looked at Malvern's wet crotch.

Malvern obviously knew that his first impression on the other side was not good. He added, "I cook delicious food. When I'm on board, the cook will ask me for advice. If you don't believe me, you can ask you Those friends, I was in the kitchen when they found me. "

"That's right." The two pirates who found Zhang Heng and Malvern nodded and agreed.

Malvern nervously looked at the burly pirate, who touched his chin. After about half a minute, he said, "try it. But I warn you, if it tastes bad or makes us eat bad, they won't let you go even if I forgive you." As he spoke, he pointed to the pirates around him.

Malvern was busy thanking him.

"Well, gentlemen, the quota is full. The recruitment is over. I wish you a pleasant journey." The burly pirate said and took three people to leave.

However, at this moment, another voice came from behind him.

"Wait a minute."

The burly pirate stopped. He didn't notice that Marvin's face suddenly became nervous when he heard the voice. The latter looked up at the place where the voice came from, and his face was full of supplication.

Ignoring the hint from the farmer's son, Zhang Heng got up and said, "I'll join the gang, too."

The risk of drifting on the sea is too high, and there is a serious shortage of food and water. If a person wants to fight, he may choose to fight, but so many people will make the situation more complicated, not to mention that he still has props on the ship, so he can't get them back.

The burly pirate frowned. "I appreciate your enthusiasm, really, but as I said before, there are only three places in this recruitment, and now we are full."

In the face of the opposite declined, Zhang Heng just calm way, "give me a gun."

Maybe it was moved by someone's self-confidence, maybe it was because of the noise of the pirates around. Finally, the burly pirate handed a short musket to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng received it and checked it a little. After going through the script of the Sufen war, he also did some homework on guns. Now he is not Xiaobai who didn't know anything at first.

Today, what he holds in his hand is a flint gun. Compared with the firerope gun, it simplifies the shooting process, uses flint to ignite gunpowder, with faster shooting speed, smaller recoil force and higher accuracy. It was developed in the middle of the 16th century, and began to be widely distributed in the European army in the middle and late 17th century. Later, the American War of independence was also the stage of the flint gun.

However, in the final analysis, it is also the tears of the times, not to mention the modern guns, which are far from the M28 used by him in the Sufen war. The so-called simplified shooting process is only relative to the torch, because the bullets and gunpowder are packed separately at the present stage. It takes a long time to load bullets and gunpowder after firing a gun, and the range is only eight About ten meters.

Zhang Heng looked very carefully. It took him a full minute, and all the pirates around were shouting. The burly pirate in charge of recruitment also began to show his impatience.

At this time, Zhang Heng suddenly raises his shotgun without warning and aims at Malvern. The latter is shocked and thinks that Zhang Heng wants to kill people. But the next moment, the bullet flies close to his ear and hits the apple core in the hands of a pirate at the stern of the ship, which makes the latter jump.

The pirates were stunned at first, and then burst into cheers.

The distance between Zhang Heng and the Apple Eating pirate was more than 40 meters, and the ship was in the turbulence of the waves, so it was very difficult to shoot. The consistency of this set of rapid fire movements learned from Simon was so good that it looked like he didn't aim at all. In the end, this amazing shooting skill won full applause.

In a sense, the vast majority of pirates are very simple people. In the sea where they believe in the law of the jungle, they always have no lack of respect for the strong. They don't know who is the first to start. The pirates around shout together, "accept him, accept him!"

The burly pirate in charge of recruitment frowned, but finally he couldn't resist the surging public opinion behind him and said, "well, a sharpshooter, no one should be able to refuse. Anyway, he has recruited three people, and he doesn't care about one more. Come with me."

The four followed the burly pirate down the deck. The latter introduced himself as he walked along. "My name is Owen. I'm the boatswain of the sea lion. No matter what you've done before and what your identity and background are, I'm a member of the sea lion now. Of course, we can't trust you as much as we trust others, but it doesn't matter. Let's have time to talk."Owen paused and then said, "but there are some things you need to know in advance. Listen, gambling, theft and private fighting are strictly prohibited on board, unless it is a duel in the presence of a notary. Escaping in battle is a capital crime..."

When he said that, he specially looked at Malvern, who wiped his sweat with a smile.

Owen continued, "it's strictly forbidden to hide booty when plundering. Except for the enemy you killed, you can choose one thing first, and then share all the harvest equally. The captain and the helmsman share it, the doctor, the carpenter, the gunner and the cook, and the boatswain each share one and half. Other people who perform well in the battle will also have extra rewards and be disabled If so, there will be a pension. The amount of pension depends on your years on board.

"Oh, and most importantly, everyone has equal voting rights in all the daily affairs of the ship, including the appointment and removal of the captain and the helmsman."

Owen said and looked at the four. "That's all for now. Do you have any questions?"

Malvern raised his hand and said with a smile, "in advance, I don't want to evade responsibility, I just want to know, that Is the cook going to fight? "

Owen glanced at him. "Generally, it's not necessary, but if it's really a crisis, everyone has to take up arms. Speaking of this, you'll go to difrenna later and ask him to match you with a musket, and I'll tell him about it." His last words are to Zhang Heng.

"As for the rest of you, you can also get a weapon from difrenna, which is the welfare of the new people. In the future, if you get it again, you will have to pay for it, which will be deducted from your next booty."
