The burly pirate looked at Malvin and raised an eyebrow. "Are you a cook?"
No wonder he doubted that Malvin's dress was a little far from that of the cook. The farmer's son still looked very high-class, with a wig, laces embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, and a tight fit on the outside. The coat was sewn against the waist, but now he only had white silk stockings on his feet, and those beautiful boots were counted as loot when searching.
He nodded in a hurry, "I ... my mother opened a small hotel in Canterbury, and I will help when there are not enough people."
The burly pirate looked suspicious, especially when his eyes moved to Malvin's wet crotch, a contempt flashed in his eyes.
Malvin obviously knew that his first impression was not good, and Ji Zhongsheng added, "I cook very well. The chef will ask me when I'm on the boat. If you don't believe me, you can ask your ... those friends. , I was in the kitchen when I was found. "
"That's right." The two pirates who found Zhang Heng and Malvin nodded and echoed.
Malvin stared nervously at the burly pirate, who touched his chin and spoke after about half a minute. "Then you try it, but I warn you if it tastes bad, or let us eat it. If you have a bad stomach, even if I will forgive you, they will not let you go. "He pointed and pointed at the pirates around him.
Malvern thank you in a hurry.
"Well gentlemen, the quota is full, the recruitment is over, I wish you a pleasant journey." The burly pirate took the three and was ready to leave.
But just then suddenly another voice came from behind him.
"and many more."
The burly pirate stopped, he didn't notice that Malvin's expression suddenly became tense when he heard the voice, and the latter looked up at the place where the voice came, his expression filled with pleading.
Zhang Heng ignored the hint given to him by the farmer's son, and got up and said, "I am also a mate."
The risk of drifting at sea is too high, and food and water are severely scarce. If one person would choose to fight, but so many people will complicate the situation, let alone he has props left on the boat, Those things can't be taken back this time.
The burly pirate frowned. "I appreciate your enthusiasm, really, but as I said before, there are only three places for this recruitment, and now we are full."
Facing the opposite rejection, Zhang Heng just calmly said, "Give me a gun."
I was probably moved by someone's self-confidence, or maybe because of the pirates around me, and finally the burly pirate handed Zhang Heng a short musket.
Zhang Heng received it and checked it a bit. After experiencing the script of the Soviet-Finnish war, he also did some homework on the firearms. Now he is not the little white who did not understand anything at the beginning.
Now he is holding a flintlock in his hand. Compared with the rifle, the firing process is simplified. Using flint to fire and ignite gunpowder, the firing rate is faster, the recoil is smaller, and the accuracy is higher. 16th century It was developed in the middle of the year, and it was generally distributed in the European army in the middle and late 17th century. Later the American Revolution was also a stage for firing guns.
However, in the final analysis, this thing is also the tears of the times. Not to mention modern firearms, it is far worse than the M28 he used in the Soviet-Finnish war. The so-called simplified shooting process is only relative to the firearm gun, because the bullets at this stage It is filled separately with gunpowder. After firing a shot, it is necessary to load the bullet and gunpowder for a while, and the range is only about 80 meters.
Zhang Heng watched it very carefully. It took a full minute to see the lively pirates around, and the burly pirate responsible for recruiting people began to show impatience.
At this moment, Zhang Heng suddenly raised the short rifle in his hand and aimed at Malvin. The latter was terrified. He thought Zhang Heng wanted to kill and kill him, but the next moment the bullet flew past his ear. , Hit the apple core in the hands of a pirate aft, startled the latter.
The pirates first stunned, and then burst into cheers.
The distance between Zhang Heng and the apple-eating pirate was more than forty meters, the hull was in the bumps of the waves, and the shooting itself was very difficult. This set of rapid-fire actions learned from Simon was too coherent. Well, it looks as if the aiming is not aimed at all. In the end, this magical shooting technique won a lot of applause.
In a sense, the vast majority of pirates are very simple people. On the sea that believes in the law of the jungle, they always have no lack of respect for the strong, and they do n’t know who started first. The pirates around them shouted together. , "Accept him, accept him!"
The burly pirate in charge of frowning frowned. Eventually, he couldn't help the torrential public opinion behind him, but he said, "Well, a sharpshooter, no one can refuse. I have already recruited three people, and don't care about one more. Follow me. come together."
The four followed the burly pirate down the deck, and the latter introduced himself as he walked. "My name is Irving, the sea lion captain of the Sea Lion. No matter what you have done before, whatever your background, you are now a member of the Sea Lion. ~ Www.novelhall.com ~ Of course, we can't trust you like we trust others now, but it's okay, let time 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 the ship, unless it is a duel in the presence of a notary, and escape from the battle is a death penalty ..."
When he came here, he deliberately glanced at Malvin, who laughed with sweat.
Owen went on to say, "It is strictly forbidden to collect loot during plunder. Except for the enemy killed by you, you can choose one thing first, and all the gains are divided equally between the captain and the helmsman. The doctor, carpenter, gunner and Chef, sailor captain one and one-half each. Others who perform well in battles will also receive additional rewards. If they are disabled, they will receive a pension. The amount of pension depends on how long you have been on board.
"Oh, and, most importantly, all the daily affairs on board, including the appointment and removal of the captain and helmsman, everyone has equal voting rights."
Irving looked at the four after he said, "That's all for now. Do you have any questions?"
Malvin raised his hand and chuckled, "It was stated in advance that I didn't want to evade responsibility, I just wanted to know, that ... Is the chef going to fight?"
Owen glanced at him, "Generally not used, but if it's time for crisis, everyone has to pick up a weapon. Speaking of this, you can go to Difraina and ask him to give you a musket, and I will He will tell him this. "His last words were to Zhang Heng.
"As well as the rest of you, you can also ask Difraina to pick up a weapon. This is the benefit of the newcomer. As for the future, if you damage it, you will have to pay it and deduct it from your next booty."
