Chapter 99： Black sail articles (4)

Two pirates came forward and searched Zhang Heng and Malvin's bodies. They rummaged through each pocket, not even the boots on their feet, to ensure that nothing of value was missed.

Later, Zhang Heng and Malvin were also pushed into the crowd. The latter looked terrified, especially when he saw the bodies of the captain and the dead sailors on the other side. He began to tremble uncontrollably, which also attracted the surrounding people. The onlookers of the pirates laughed.

Zhang Heng's wallet and a snuff bottle were searched, but [Key of Shadow] and [Moment of Shadow] were still on him, the latter being his life-saving card. In order not to be searched by those pirates, he I had to use the Shadow Key twice to transform both of them into shadow form.

However, unlike the previous few times, he is now in the vast sea. Even if there is [moment of shadow] in hand, he does not know where he can escape. In the shadow state, he can of course print himself on the sea. , But once three minutes have elapsed, he will become a drowning man.

If you are lucky, he may be found and rescued by passing ships, but he is more likely to be buried in the belly of the fish, or dehydrated by the poisonous sun above his head, and then buried in the belly of the fish.

The people were the passengers on board a long time ago, yearning for a new life in the colony, but now they have become prisoners of the pirates, their lives are uncertain. Although most people are not as unbearable as Malvin, pessimism has also begun spread.

It was about a quarter of an hour later, and there was a sudden beating from the cabin below the deck, with a few gunshots in the middle. When everything returned to calm, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Sorry, there will be some idiots on every ship. I have to take a moment to convince them. Fortunately, the problem has been solved. Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am the helmsman of the Sea Lion. You You can call me Mr. Orff. "The comer looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, and a little bald, but his spirit head looked good. Compared with the fierce pirates around him, he was more like a man who was willing to reason.

In fact, the position of helmsman does require extraordinary communication skills. This is the second most important position on a pirate ship. The close relationship between the helmsman and the sailor represents the interests of the sailors, and it is also the bridge between the sailors and the captain. Rights challenge the captain's order when the interests of sailors are violated.

His appearance made many people see hope, and some passengers begged, "Please, sir, let us go. We are just ordinary people. My wife and children are waiting for me at home."

Orff nodded, but then he pulled out the short musket around his waist, pulled the trigger at a sailor on the ground who had surrendered the weapon, and the latter was hit by a shot of a lead bomb on the head. Falling to the ground, the splashing blood was sprinkled on the helmsman's linen shirt.

Witnessing this brutal and **** scene with his own eyes, the captives panicked. They remembered the story about the pirates they had heard before. This is a group of cruel and lawless killers. No one knows whether they will The entire ship was killed, and this shot no doubt gave a bad sign. Malvin was directly scared to urinate his pants.

But then Orff took the short rifle back, "I'm sorry, but this is what I had to do. This guy killed two of my brothers when they boarded the ship, don't think that they are low. I will ignore the previous events. I may be old, but I have n’t been so forgetful. Blood debts must be paid for in blood. This is our usual way of doing things. "

His words drew applause from the surrounding pirates. Everyone clapped on the railings, and at the same time calmed the passengers in the captives. Although the incident just seemed cruel, it seemed to be vengeful from the perspective of revenge. Not too much, these passengers have long forgotten who was protecting them not long ago, and at this time everyone chose to be silent in order to survive.

The remaining six sailors surrendered earlier, and their looks were a little more complicated.

On the one hand, I was ashamed of her pustules, and on the other, I was secretly glad that I had not participated in the battle.

"Now that the old accounts have been calculated, we can now talk about the issues you are most concerned about." Orff continued. "As you can see, the ship you are on now belongs to us, not just The goods on board, your wallet, everything that is worthless. Of course, this includes the ship itself, but we are not unreasonable people ... "

Orff replied, "For humanitarian considerations, we will prepare a boat for you, two buckets of fresh water, and maybe a bit of biscuit and bacon. Although not enough for you to row from here to Boston, but fortunately you It is now on the trade route, and the weather seems good these two days. If you are lucky, there will be only passing ships to find you, and you will be saved. "

His words did not reassure everyone, but triggered a new round of riots.

A small boat, two buckets of fresh water, and another 30 passengers. This combination is not reliable. Any wind and waves may make the people above disappear forever ~ www.novelhall.com ~ let alone when. The potential for rescue of passing ships is much lower than the risk of death.

Someone begged again, hoping to get the sympathy of the pirates, but this time Orff seemed to be indifferent, insisting that this condition would not change.

"I know the risks of this thing, but we are pirates, not philanthropists. I'm afraid you have to figure out how to solve it later."

Olf turned and left after speaking, and the pirates on the side were ready to put the boat down, but the boat was too small. Even if it was full, it could only seat 20 people, let alone fresh water and food.

At this moment, a burly pirate came over and said, "Are you guys here a cook or a carpenter? There are still two carpenters and a cook on our boat. If you want to join, follow me."

Compared to sitting in a boat waiting to die on the sea, there is no doubt that this road has a greater hope of survival. Immediately after his words, a captive sailor raised his hand, "I, I am the carpenter on this boat, I Willing to join you. "

And just after he finished speaking, some of the passengers on the other side also said, "Although I haven't been to the sea much, I have made some furniture in the town before and set up shelves for others. Can you see me?"

The burly pirate thought about it and nodded, "Yes, you can help him first."

The public passengers looked at the two enviously. Professionals would be welcomed wherever they were, and even ferocious pirates would treat them with courtesy.

"Now I have only one seat left," the burly pirate said, "this opportunity is not overdue. Is anyone still willing to come with me?"

"I, I will," a voice said.

No one expected that the person who spoke was Malvern.
