"Swim slowly..."
"Yes, catch the loop and put the wrist... It's two wrists, fool! If you don't want to be eaten by sharks, you'd better cooperate!"
"Raise your hands so that I can see the loop. If you want to float on the water, you only need to step on the water with your two legs."
"Well, those who tie the rope can board the ship!"
"One on each side, two at a time, climb up one by one... Damn it, climb up one by one! Don't the Roma speak English? Do you understand?"
"Squeeze again! Squeeze again! You're all soaking in the water! Damn it!"
The beauty was in full swing. Pierce was teaching Noah to make rope knots, and then threw the [8] shaped rope loop in the shape of handcuffs into the water to guide the Roma who were berthing to bind themselves and board one by one.
Tonight's battle has come to an end.
A total of thirty-four Roma men and three women attacked the Artemis beauty.
As a result, harpoon guns killed two, Lorraine killed three, Karen hammered one, and the rest, whether wounded or not, became prisoners, including the three remaining boats.
Karen chose the best one to tow onto the ship and completed the two side frames of the beauty, which became the first harvest tonight.
It was a surprise.
In the dining room in the stern cabin, three drowned Roma women sat together under Haina's eyes, trembling.
They are generally young and beautiful, with long eyes, big eye sockets, straight nose and hair like vertical waves.
But their faces were pale, and their thin skirts were close to them. Besides being graceful, they were more embarrassed.
These people
Are these people really businessmen?
They still can't believe that a whole tribe and more than 30 men have no resistance in front of just a few sea merchants.
The way Lorraine looked underwater frightened them.
He was as nimble as an underwater ghost, fast and steady, with bright eyes.
He opened his eyes underwater and smiled when he killed people... It's not like a person diving at all, but a human shark tearing at the closed prey.
Marine
English marine... So terrible?
The three women shivered together.
The door opened
The inner cabin door creaked open. Lorraine, who had changed his dry clothes, came out with his hair, followed by the dodgy Noah.
Seeing Noah, the momentum of the three women came back immediately. The leader slapped the table before he wanted to drink and scold, Lorraine said suddenly.
"If you stand up, don't sit down."
The words were not heavy and the tone was gentle, but the woman seemed to hear the roar of the beast, maintained the posture of going up and down, and dared not move.
Lorraine pulled away his chair and sat opposite the women. His legs were lifted and slapped on the table.
The three women trembled again.
They only heard Lorraine say, "my name is Lorraine, Lorraine Drake. The captain of the beauty of Attis, the protector of Miss Noah Sara, and an English... Privateer."
With Lorraine's self introduction, all the puzzles were solved.
Privateer is a notorious and legendary term.
They are pirates, soldiers and adventurers, but they are not serious and submissive businessmen.
Combined with all the characteristics, they are killers
The three women's eyes widened. You looked at me and I looked at you.
The Roma are foxes.
The fox feeds on lambs and makes food for beasts
They should have kept a distance from the real beast, but they even recklessly instigated the tribe to attack a beast, or to attack an aquatic beast in the water!
Belmayo's agents are amateurs!
Seeing the frightened and angry expressions on their faces, Lorraine whistled softly.
"It seems that ladies are well-informed people. I can save my tongue. I don't have to start with the origin of privatizing businessmen."
"Yes..."
"Are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty..."
Lorraine gave a disdainful smile and snapped her fingers.
Haina pushed a small bucket of black beer along the long table, grinned and rubbed the table, and just stopped at his feet.
Noah brought the wine and Lorraine moistened her throat.
"How to say... Today's meeting was not very friendly. My crew wanted to go to sea. It was a brave and responsible decision. As a family, you can have doubts and differences, you can persuade, but you shouldn't use force."
The first woman's face changed and immediately retorted: "we are not..."
"Crew!" Lorraine interrupted in a high voice. "Crew members are the captain's sacred and inviolable private property from the moment they get on the ship. It's not good for you to try to seize my property by force."
The three women suddenly became like this. Lorraine's words were sophistry, but this situation could not be questioned by them.
Lorraine didn't intend to listen to their questions. He only let them digest for a moment and then continued: "I could have forgiven you for trying to seize my property. England teaches gentlemen to be magnanimous, just like me. But you hurt my ship in the process of trying to seize..."
"Our people only threw the hook a few times..."
"The hook and rope will hurt the railing, and the dirty boots will trample on the board. The most troublesome thing is blood... Blood will seep into the wood along the texture of the deck and produce dirt that cannot be cleaned. This dirt contains organic matter, will rot and destroy the structure of the wood. If it seeps into the keel..."
"How could it be!" shouted the youngest woman.
"Why can't it? A ship is a precious thing. You don't understand. After this war, our ship looks intact, but in fact the whole structure is broken. She is likely to fall apart during the voyage, throw the whole ship into the sea in the middle of the vast sea, and have nowhere to escape."
The elder swallowed his saliva: "so, sir... How do you think this matter should be settled?"
"Compensate..." Lorraine sighed. "Our ship is the latest merchant ship, with a cost of 10000 pounds. Our crew are the best seafarers, including the great craftsman in the military port, asasin, who is rarer than pandas, the descendants of noble families, and the best cobbler in England. By the way, there are witches rarer than asasin..."
"More... More..."
"Accidental injury insurance, mental loss fee, labor fee, delay fee, um... Youth loss fee and continuing education guarantee fund. I generously erased the change of the ship, totaling 100000 pounds."
"How much?"
"100000 pounds."
"You're blackmail!" it's the youngest. Among Noah's cousins, she seems to have the highest voice.
Lorraine looked at her reluctantly and said seriously and sincerely: "from the heart, do you think I, who holds the human life of your whole family and can erase the Roma Sala department from the earth at any time, an honest, generous, honest and compassionate English gentleman, will use the indiscriminate means of blackmail?"
The three women were glimpsed back to reality by Lorraine, and finally thought of asking for help. Behind Lorraine, their big eyes were narrowing into the moon.
The oldest cousin pinched the table and bit her lip to Noah for help.
"Noah... Witch, for the sake of the same race... Your mother must not want Roma Sala to disappear..."
Noah tangled for a while and grabbed Lorraine's clothes: "Captain, they have no money..."
"There is no money to sell industries and people. Although the risk rating of Roma is not good, as music slaves and dancers, there has always been a good market in Europe..."
"But their only property is caravans... Fifty or sixty people, no matter how expensive they sell, are not worth 100000 pounds."
"What about that?" Lorraine frowned. "Roma have no fixed residence. I can't believe their integrity even if I write an IOU. Fifty or sixty slaves and more than a dozen caravans... It seems that they can only take back as much as they want..."
"Captain, can you let them atone for their sins? Use work to offset their debts, such as cheating the Spanish nobles at your request?"
Speaking of this, who can't understand that everything is a game?
Lorraine's strength made the three women tremble, but Noah's eating inside and climbing outside made them cold!
Roma Sala has been wandering in Spain for more than 40 years.
They originally lived well, but if they deceived the local nobles, they had to wander in strange places, and how much effort and cost did they have to pay to go to a new place to accept?
The elder cousin clenched her teeth and looked at Noah with fire in her eyes: "Noah! Don't forget that you are Roma!"
"Yes!" Noah stood behind Lorraine with her chest, her face flushed and hated Tao Tian. "I didn't forget that I was a Roma for a moment. When I came to the new environment, I would try to let the new master know the value! What about you? Witches are the leaders of the family, as noble as the patriarch, but you expelled me!"
"That's because you don't deserve it!"
"I deserve it!" Noah took out the crystal ball and held it in her hands. "I'm the heir of the crystal ball of fate. I was chosen by my mother, the last Witch and fate! Fate has told us the result. You... Don't deserve it!"
