"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Owen heard a bit of surprise. Considering the huge risks faced every time he went to sea, the pirates on the ship were mostly hedonists. One day can be counted as one day, and few people will go for tomorrow. Owen planned to remind him, "The swordsmanship cannot be practiced in a short while, and it takes at least a month or two to see results, and the practice is boring. Isn't your marksmanship good? Why? Want to learn the knife again? "
"Melee is my weakness. A rifle can only fire one bullet at a time, and then it is very troublesome to refill. I don't want to stand by and watch each time after firing. I can at least learn how to use the knife."
"Well, this is true."
The muskets of this era are very different from the later generations. Although flintlocks have made a lot of progress over rifle guns, the filling process is still very complicated. Not only are the projectiles and gunpowder separated, but except in the barrel, each time After firing, the gunpowder pool must also be filled with gunpowder. In addition, the rate of dumb fire is also extremely high. Therefore, when fighting, the two sides first shoot a wave at each other, and then start to lighten the knife and fight muscles.
However, the vast majority of people rely on the bravery in the battle and have the strength advantage, which is not worth mentioning technically, so people who have regular military training like Irving can often occupy a considerable amount in the battle. The advantages.
"Well, then come to the deck when the sun rises tomorrow morning. I'll teach you some basic moves such as slashing." Irving said, but then he added, "Practice the sword, but don't delay. The usual daily work. "
"Thank you, no." Zhang Heng really said, Irving can win the support of all the pirates for no reason, he is very generous and upright, even if he has his own sword, there is no hidden meaning, Zhang Heng If he wanted to learn, he readily agreed.
However, other people did not speak so well. Zhang Heng found the long sail line on the ship, an old man named Roscoe. According to the people on the ship, he spent more time drifting at sea than living on land. Judging the wind, Forecasting the weather and maneuvering the sails are his three specialties.
Relying on these three techniques, he can receive the hospitality of the captain and the crew even if he does not participate in the battle on any pirate ship, but correspondingly, he is very good at his skills and does not want to be learned by others. Losing his job, Zhang Heng was not the first to come to him, but like the other guys who came to him before, he was also rejected by Roscoe without hesitation.
Zhang Heng once mentioned the compensation to five hundred silver pesos and paid it within one year, but Rothko finally agreed to pass on his technology to Zhang Heng after he retired.
However, Zhang Heng is probably hard to wait until that day. The old man's body is tough and terrible. Although he is old, his appetite is better than many young people, and he is not a vegetarian. He should eat and drink. Zhang Heng suspects that if nothing else happens, Rothko will work until he leaves this copy.
After the third disembarkation, Zhang Heng went to the tavern to find the old pirate Fraser.
"How are you getting close to? You can help me collect debts." Fraser said as he threw peanuts into his mouth.
"No." Zhang Heng admits, and after two and a half months of drifting at sea, his sword skills are still at lv0. As Irving said, this is a long process that requires constant practice to integrate basic movements into Only in the battle instinct can he gain results. For now, he is still a little far away from this level, but Irving has already begun to practice with him.
And the good news is that after such a long period of rest, his weight has returned and his strength is even more than when he first entered the copy. Although he can't compare with those born with divine power, he is still outstanding among ordinary people. .
"What are you doing to me?" The old pirate curiously.
"The Sea Lion was originally yours. As the oldest crew on board, Roscoe, you must know enough about him."
"Oh, that old fox. Although he has no principle or bottom line, the level of sail control is really good. You can hardly find a better cable in Nassau." Fraser said with emotion, "Yeah, I really miss that time. At that time, we met pirate hunters. When the speed of the ship was at a disadvantage, we could only venture into the storm zone. Changing other people's achievements was the result of the ship's destruction. But Roscoe and I cooperated. In the end, I managed to save the main sail, and later returned to Nassau safely. I have never admired a few people in my life. Roscoe is barely one. You must have a drink for that guy's good technology. "
The old pirate picked up the beer in front of him.
恒 Zhang Heng didn't have a circle, and straightforwardly said, "What can I do to get him to teach me his skills."
There is a touch of fun on the face of the old pirate ~ www.novelhall.com ~ You want to learn to control sails, why? "
"It's not wrong for people to learn more when they are young."
Fraser grinned, "So are you going to convince me with this nonsensical reason?" He put down the knife and fork in his hand, stared at Zhang Heng for a while, and then re-opened, "But you today Good luck. I happened to be in trouble recently. If you can help me solve this problem, I don't mind telling you how to make Rothko obedient. "
"What trouble?"
"There is a **** in the city called Jacob. He just stole a pack of black pearls from me in the morning. If you can find him in half a day and bring my pearls back, I will meet your requirements. "
"It sounds fair." Zhang Heng got up.
"Oh, I almost forgot to say, I also invited another guy to help, he left an hour earlier than you, so I can only wish you good luck."
Uh ...
Zhang Heng left the tavern, and within a few steps, he saw a group of little ghosts playing on the side of the road. A guy dressed as a hawker passed by in front of them. , And the smallest one quietly reached into the hawker's pocket, and they fleeed as soon as they succeeded.
This is Nassau. Theft is not uncommon here. After Zhang Heng rented the cottage, he never left valuable things in it. In fact, he always saw a few times when he went back to the sea. Basically, every dove who occupies the nest has nothing to do but throw it away.
So it is not easy to find people who steal the pearl among so many villains, especially if there is only one name for clues.
