Chapter Twenty-Three: A Servant Worth £3,000 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Captain, the Red Skull has run away!"

A sailor rushed into the captain's room.

"Ran?" Irlan held up his monoculars and surveyed the gently choppy sea in confusion, just in time to see the Red Skull disappear into the sky.

His brow furrowed, completely unbelievable as to why there had been such a development.

In his opinion, the armed forces of the "White Onyx" must not be able to directly scare off the Red Skull Pirate Group, and the two sides will inevitably go around dozens of circles and fire multiple salvos, so that the other party can feel that they can't gnaw this hard bone and dare not entangle for a long time, so they retreat rationally.

Could it be that the "Red Skull" was just passing by, and had no intention of plundering? However, if they didn't plunder, what would they do in this channel? This is the place where the navy fleet and the church ships are most likely to be blocked, and even when the four kings and seven generals pass through the nearby seas, they will try to keep a low profile...... Erlan was full of doubts and felt that things were not so simple.

Caution saves people from calamity, and carelessness cannot be ...... Erlan put away his yellow-brown monoculars and paced back and forth a few steps.

He half-raised his hand and said to the chief navigator:

"Dock at Bansey Port tonight.

"Report the encounter with pirates to the Navy and the Church. ”

According to the normal plan, the next stop of the White Onyx will be the port of Tiana, which will take about three days to reach at a speed of 13 knots, and from the port of Tiana, it will reach its final destination, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, the city of Byamu, the city of generosity.

A faster way to sail from Priezzy Port to Baiam is to make only one stopover, at Bansi Port, 120 nautical miles from Damir Harbor.

............

"Is the Red Skull really leaving?" said Donna's father, Uldi Blanche, as he walked to the window and looked into the distance.

Cleves nodded quietly:

"Yes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the cry of the sailors was heard outside:

"Danger lifted! danger lifted!"

Hearing the official confirmation, Donna and Denton finally relaxed and had the courage to go to the window to take a look outside.

"Are the Red Skull Pirates powerful?" Donna's eyes widened, searching for the ship that was already far away.

"It's amazing. Cleves gave his own answer.

"How powerful?" Denton immediately asked.

The bodyguard on the other side, Tig, cut his hair and said with a smile:

"Even counting the guns and hundreds of pirates on board, Captain Johansson and First Officer Anderson are very powerful.

"Anderson, nicknamed 'One-Eye', has a bounty of £500 in the kingdom, and all of us in this room combined, with the help of a few sailors, may be able to defeat him in an encounter, while Johansson, nicknamed 'Sea Wolf', can easily deal with such an opponent, if they board the ship, 'Sea Wolf' will have no one to resist, and his bounty is a full 900 pounds, close to 1,000 pounds!"

"Is that a lot?" Donna was shocked at the power of the Sea Wolf and One-Eye, and surprised at their bounty.

In her mind's eye, her father's income was £1,500 a year!

"A lot, this is a bounty that they or their heads can be exchanged for directly, the items on their bodies, the things they loot, also belong to you, the kingdom will buy them at the market price, and you will have the opportunity to get bounties from other countries. Cecil explained, "At sea, pirates with a bounty of more than £300 are quite powerful, close to or more than £1,000, at least in their own seas, I mean the Sunia Sea, the Misty Sea, and so on. ”

"So, the Four Kings and Seven Generals belong to the Five Seas and are famous?" asked Donna a little innocently.

Cleves responded earnestly:

"Yes. ”

"So, the Red Skull Pirates are famous throughout the Sunia Sea?" Donna asked logically and clearly.

"Yes. Teague nodded.

"But why are they running?" Donna blinked.

"It doesn't have to be a running ......," Cecil himself didn't quite understand why.

Cleves looked out the window again, his forehead slightly "Chuan":

"Maybe there was something else, maybe they didn't want to loot at all this time, they just encountered it. ”

For something else?Donna suddenly had a guess in her thoughts.

Could it be that Uncle Sparrow's house-tall gentle messenger scared them away?

She turned her head excitedly and looked down, only to notice that her brother Denton's eyes were also shining.

The two pursed their mouths in no particular order, and immediately understood that the other party was similar to what they thought.

"We went out to blow the wind, and it was on this level. Donna found a reason and pulled her brother out of room 305.

Outside, Denton suppressed his voice and said:

"We're going to find Uncle Sparrow?"

"That's right!" Donna smiled energetically, "I saw him enter 312 before. ”

............

Room 312.

"Flame" Daniz, who no longer mentioned the "Iceberg Lieutenant General", looked at the "Red Skull" with the bow turned again, and said with a smile:

"They must have been frightened by the announcement of the naval giant's cannon and the news of the destruction of the pirate regiment before, and ventured into this channel to plunder, hoping to make enough money early and leave the sea.

"Heh, what if we have a giant ship and cannons? There are a lot of powerful things in the navy and the church, they have always existed, and they have not caused a situation where they can't continue to be pirates, and if we can't fight them head-on, we can always escape, right? They can't always escort those merchant ships, right?

"I know that the ironclad ship is getting bigger and bigger, and the steam turbines will become more and more powerful, and the speed will one day break through 18 knots or 20 knots, once they bite it, they can only wait to be caught up, but the sea is so vast, tens of thousands of ships thrown down can't fill a corner, and there are many, many more unexplored sea areas for human beings. ”

This guy is really the type to talk a lot...... Don't you think a crazy adventurer wouldn't care about these things?" Crane withdrew his gaze and swept the room.

His gaze finally landed on his leather suitcase, and he raised his chin there:

"Washed the dirty laundry inside. ”

Daniz's expression, which was about to be tirade, froze, and he wished to burn the entire ship with one fire.

He felt his anger spew out like a steam that lifted the floodgates of reason.

Daniz opened his mouth and took a breath, then opened his mouth again and took a breath.

His flushed face softened, and he asked without a smile:

"Is it all?"

"Just brush your coat if it's dirty. Klein was almost amused by the other party's forced anger, believing that this was the treatment that Danis should receive after robbing the innocent.

- In the suitcase is the clothes he changed last night, because he was a little lazy, he only rubbed his underwear for the time being.

Calm, can't get out of control, calm, can't get out of control...... Daniz admonished himself a few words in succession, walked over to German Sparrow's suitcase, opened it, and took out the clothes that needed to be cleaned.

He had just started working in the bathroom when he heard the doorbell jingling.

Crane opens the door and discovers that it's Donna and Denton.

"Uncle Sparrow, didn't bother you, did you?" Donna's eyes rolled from side to side.

"Nope. Klein got out of the way.

The two little ones entered the room and were surprised to see Daniz doing laundry.

"What about the servant?" asked Denton.

"I didn't bring it. Klein replied for Daniz.

Donna said a little confused:

"But there is an exclusive pulp maid in the first class, and the charge is calculated by the barrel. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Daniz froze.

He was so angry that he had forgotten about it.

Daniz shook off the drops of water from his hands, turned around, squeezed out a smile, and said to Gelman Sparrow:

"Can I ask the pulp maid to help?"

Klein didn't have to look at the other party's malice, and said with a smile:

"I only recognize the results. ”

Whew, Daniz breathed a sigh of relief.

The question and answer between the two made Donna realize that something was wrong, and the little girl said suspiciously:

"Uncle Sparrow, aren't you friends? He, how does he look different from just now!"

Klein found a chair and sat down, and without concealment, said flatly:

"To be exact, he was my prisoner of war. ”

"Prisoners of war?" Denton looked left and right, not remembering a conflict between the two uncles.

Donna was puzzled at first, then her heart moved, and she asked happily:

"He's, he's a pirate?"

"Hmm. Klein nodded slightly.

"The Red Skull Pirates were also strained away by Uncle Sparrow?" Donna asked excitedly.

Crane glanced at Daniz and replied expressionlessly:

"Sort of. ”

Donna was extremely satisfied that all her doubts were answered, and she glanced at Daniz and unconsciously lowered her voice:

"Uncle Sparrow, does he have a name? No, does he have a bounty?"

No, no one can know that I have had such an experience! Daniz opened his mouth and replied preemptively:

"My name is Ziggy!"

At this time, Klein said lightly:

"Daniz. ”

"Daniz......" Donna and Denton looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

The siblings didn't stay long before leaving, and they always felt that the pirate had a fierce look in his eyes.

Back in room 305, seeing that Dad and Uncle Cleves were still discussing, Donna pretended to be naïve and interjected:

"A lot of people were talking about pirates just now, did you mention any Daniz, is he very powerful?"

"Daniz ...... Daniz 'Blaze', he is the subordinate of 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' and the fourth boatswain of the 'Golden Dream,' ......" Cleves replied simply.

Speaking of this, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes inward-looking, as if he was remembering something.

Pirate General's men...... Donna asked curiously:

"How much bounty does he have?"

Cleves returned to normal and spoke in a low voice:

"3000 pounds. ”

Three, three thousand pounds?Donna and Denton's mouths opened little by little, and they almost forgot to close them.

The captain of the Red Skull only offered a bounty of 900 pounds, and the guy who looked like a servant just now was worth 3,000 pounds?

............

At 6 p.m., the White Onyx entered the port again.

"Bansey Harbor?" said Elland...... "Daniz stood by the window, looking at the already dim harbor and the high lighthouse road.

Without waiting for Klein to respond, he laughed to himself:

"There seems to be some bad legend here. ”
