Chapter 102: Sailing to the New World
The privateer sailed slowly south, and the hairy feet and bald men were busy up and down, steering and handling the sails, barely getting the ship moving.
Lily examines the entire ship, and finds that the privateer is empty, but when Jacques collects the pirate's body, he finds a box of silver coins, the old leopard's silver coins, that the Fire Plasticizer has placed in the corner of the first deck of the bow building.
Counted, less than 5,000 silver coins!
It seems that the loss of 8,000 silver coins cannot be fully recovered here.
Lily commands Furry Feet and Old Leopard to throw the pirate corpses overboard, ready to arrange for them to clean the deck.
Then Jacques came out of the captain's room, pen in hand, and a chart in his hand, and said to Lily, "Report to the captain! I have found our location, but there is not good news. ”
Lily looked at the little man who was seriously playing the game of captain and sailor, and smiled, "Jacques Navigator, what have you discovered?"
Jacques spread the charts on a barrel of water at the edge of the deck, "Look, captain, here we are...... We were here about an hour ago, and the two were about ...... apart Well, don't mess around, Captain...... It's about 6 knots, which means that our speed is only 6 knots.
This kind of boat can run about 13 knots at the fastest, captain, listen carefully......
The ship had just returned to Skull Island to report that it was about 170 nautical miles away, and we were still more than 600 nautical miles away from Ruio City, and it would take about five days to get there. And if they chase us at full speed, they will catch up with us in about three days.
Although the sea is vast, they may miss us, but they have enough time to surround us near the harbor, and it will be difficult for us to escape. ”
Hearing this, the naughty captain who bullied the navigator finally stopped making trouble and asked, "Are we too slow?
The stern navigator replied: "It is indeed slow, and it may be even slower, for the old leopard's ships are generally at speeds of 8 to 10 knots, and we have no sailors to adjust our sails with the wind, and we cannot turn against the wind when we encounter a headwind."
Definitely can't go to Ryo. I asked the two pirates about the fact that the coast of this area is the sphere of influence of the Mirror Regiment, and there is a possibility of encountering other privateers at any time.
So, I had a bold plan, we went straight west, and in less than two days we could dock, and we landed along the coast in this area, and went to the city of Ryo by land. It's a little slower, but they can't find us. ”
Captain Lily immediately ordered the course to be adjusted to the west.
As night fell, Jacques and Lily did not dare to relax, sitting on the second floor of the aft building and watching the two pirates busy and maintaining the fastest speed of the west.
Hairy Feet and Bald didn't expect Jacques to measure and monitor the position of the ship, so he could only put away the little caution that he had quietly sailed the ship to Skull Island, and steered the ship honestly.
Jacques and Lily snuggled up to each other, talking endlessly, talking about Jacques's parents, Fat Orange, Twenty-Three, the branch president, the Naselli family, Lily's best friends, and Jacques's friends, only to realize that although they had seen each other often for five years, they rarely told each other about these trivial things.
Well, Fat Tangerine is the king of beasts, which is actually a trivial matter.
Speaking of the first meeting, Lily got angry and twisted Jacques's waist, "Call me little sister!"
I can't beat it, Lili, a shaper who is only one line away from the grandmaster, can beat more than ten Jacques and kill that kind in seconds.
Bear with it!
......
The four of them stayed up until the evening of the next day, and the hairy feet and bald men who were transcendents were already physically exhausted and could not hold on, and it was at this time that traces of land finally appeared in the sky.
Jacques and Lily are excited, finally leaving the monotonous and boring sea, which means that they are now safe.
The hairy foot and the bald man glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.
The privateer made its way slowly to the shore, and as it approached, it was already dark, and Jacques could see in the dim moonlight that the shore ahead was a reef-rich shore similar to that of Seal Peninsula.
Jacques hurriedly ordered the two pirates to stop the ship, and although they were disappointed, they lowered the sails and dropped the anchor.
It seems a little too late!
Boom!
Strike!
The privateer came to a halt at the edge of the reef-lined waters, its bow stuck between two reefs, but fortunately after inspection, it was not damaged, and it was probably the anchor that had been dragged before it hit.
With the reefs strewn over, the wind and the waves were strong, and it was night, Jacques gave up the night's landing and decided to rest on the ship for the night and continue his departure at dawn tomorrow.
As for how to send the two pirates, Lily had a plan, and the two of them could temporarily act as porters, and the box of silver coins alone would need one person to carry it. Until they find the nearest town where they can buy a car, if the two of them behave well, even if they let it go.
The night was still Lily and Jacques on the upper deck, Shary Feet and Bald on the lower deck, and in the middle of the night a tired Lily fell asleep in Jacques's arms.
Jacques was also a little tired, not having enough to eat was the main reason, the privateer couldn't eat the food, the food of the worms, the spoiled fruits and vegetables, and the moldy dried meat. Jacques and Lily chose not to eat......
Jacques slowly entered the half-asleep half-awake, when he heard the warning of the fat orange, it was too late, the hairy foot and the bald man actually jumped into the sea with a box of silver coins, both of them were water awakened, and it seemed that it was not difficult to swim to the shore with a box of silver coins.
However, Jacques didn't dare to chase him, he could only say that his water nature was average, and he couldn't see the situation in the sea clearly when it was dark, so he couldn't chase it, so he had to give up.
Now the two of them are really penniless.
The cautious Jacques felt that the escape of the two pirates might cause problems for their subsequent actions, but unfortunately it was already a boat, so he shook his head and sat down beside Lily.
Lily grabbed Jacques's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "Okay, let's run, let's run, don't think about it, what are we going to do next?" ”
Jacques seems to have an ability that when you have been with him for a long time and need to come up with an idea or make a decision, everyone will think of him first. Before, it was Alysia, Fabian, Emma, and Natasha who did it, but now it's Lily's turn.
"Let's rest until tomorrow morning, tomorrow we will land in a dinghy, and then we will stay away from the coast and then go south. ”
Lily took Jacques' hand, rubbed the rough calluses on her palms and knuckles, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you! But you have to become a shaper quickly, and then the dead skin and old wounds on your hands will disappear, and you will be as smooth as a baby, and you will be as tender as a child, and I will look old." ”
A meteor slid across the starry sky, Jacques followed the pop across the sky, stretched out his other rough hand to hold Lily's hand, and said, "I remember a song my father sang, sing it to you, okay?"
Lily nodded, looking expectantly.
"I'm the kid who picked up the stars
From then on the day danced in my ears
Eternal Night Sings in My Dreams"
"I'm the kid who picked up the stars
Since then I have breathing and a pulse
Roses bloom in my hands"
"I'm the kid who picked up the stars
Since then I have a soul and a memory
The bonfire is lit in my heart"
"Purple grapes, golden honey
Red roses and green shades
Rosy twilight
From now on, the stars are in my hands......"
