Chapter 405: Elsa's Castle (12)

After another four days, Joseph finally bought July a ship, but Joseph, the sailor on board, could not be hired, so Joseph bought some slaves for July to serve as crew members.

These slaves were specially trained, and some slave traders would teach them skills such as how to work on rubber plantations, how to weave, and even some female slaves to teach them how to please men.

The captain's name is Eugene, an old man with a prosthetic leg, Joseph told July that Eugene is old and crippled, but he has been a captain for more than 20 years, but unfortunately his ship was sunk by the Navy because of smuggling, and he lost a leg, so he had no work, so he had to follow July to Pirate Island.

The wind on the surface of the sea carries wet moisture, and the sun in the sky cannot open the eyes. Jasmine doesn't like the sea, and in fact she feels uneasy wherever there are no trees. And the endless sea frightened her even more, so she hid in the cabin all these days, saying nothing.

In July, he was left alone on the deck to bask in the sun. The world has a strong sense of hierarchy, and except for Eugene, who is the captain of the ship, the other slave-born crew members dare not even look at July, because in the education of slaves, anyone who dares to look directly at the slave owner will have their eyes gouged out. I don't dare to look at it directly, let alone talk to July to relieve my boredom, so July is really idle!

July had told the slaves that they would all be their own crew members and that they would no longer have to follow the rules of slaves. But the slaves were all frightened by this sentence. Because in their understanding, a slave is a slave, and no slave has ever changed his identity. To be a slave is to betray, and to betray is to be killed.

However, the only child on the ship really listened to July's words, but that night the child was beaten and half-killed by a group of slaves and brought to July because he was happy that July was no longer a slave.

July couldn't laugh at this result, she was kind, but she didn't expect to cause such trouble. It seems that the slaves have been brainwashed too thoroughly, and it is simply impossible to change them overnight, so July can only continue to be a corrupt and degenerate slave owner. It's just that July called the kid to his side. Do some errands for yourself and give him a name, Mark.

Mark is a very hardworking little guy and very smart. What to love for July. He figured out what he didn't like in a few days, and then carefully curry favor.

It is not always a talent to observe words and feelings, but it is forced out because of the helplessness of life. Mark's fawning is his habitual way of survival, and if he doesn't have that, he'll probably die quickly.

July was surprised to find out that Mark actually had a talent for magic, so the idle and bored July secretly taught him some, as for how much he could learn, July couldn't care.

Even so, Mark was shocked that July was able to teach him magic. Although July was extremely happy to say that they were no longer slaves, he still couldn't change that mind. in this country. Slaves are never allowed to learn magic and martial arts, let alone be taught to them, or they will be executed by their own slave owners. It is even more impossible for such an active slave owner as July to teach.

In order to make it easier for Mark to learn magic, July arranged a separate cabin for Mark and gave him some magic potions that he had taken from Joseph. This was just a gesture for July, but it was a turning point in Mark's life, and even because of this decision, he became July's most important right hand after many years, no matter how much temptation he faced, he firmly stood on July's side.

The ship had been at sea for six days, and on this day July was sleeping in the cabin, when suddenly the alarm sounded from the watchtower, and July got up and dressed, and Mark hurried in to report that July had been attacked by pirates.

Merchant ships often pass through this area, making piracy a necessity here. Pirates generally only rob small merchant ships, and they will not touch large ships or ships with the flags of some powers.

The small boat means that the chamber of commerce behind it is not big, so it will not face the anger of the chamber of commerce and invite people to encircle and suppress it. And the ships that fly the flags have mercenaries, armies, or various forces, and their flags are different, and pirates dare not touch them.

For this reason, although pirates are rampant, no one cares about them, and they are allowed to do what they want.

With a "boom", the boat shook violently, which made July's body shake, and his hand held on to the wall next to him to stabilize it.

July came to the deck, and sure enough, in the darkness of the night, he saw a ship in the distance shelling his ship.

"Miss, you'd better go back to the cabin first, it's too dangerous here. When he saw July, Eugene hurriedly dragged his prosthetic leg over and persuaded July.

July didn't pay attention to Eugene's words, but frowned at him and asked, "Is the ship's protective magic array open?"

The magic circle was added by Joseph, Joseph may not be a good mage in the traditional sense, he has always been interested in improving his mage level or something, but he is very interested in alchemy, potions, magic arrays and the like, and he is very talented.

This kind of protective magic array is very expensive to sell in the store, but here in Joseph it is very simple. The operation of the protective magic array is also very simple, even ordinary people can do it, as long as you put magic crystals in a few grooves of the magic array, you can open it, and the operation console of the magic array is in Eugene's command cabin.

"I just opened it, it should take effect in a while, and I've already ordered to go down and prepare for a cannon counterattack, this time let them taste it. Eugene said confidently.

No wonder Eugene is confident, although the ship is not big, but the equipment is the best, Joseph is not a stingy person, for magicians, especially skilled magicians, money is definitely not a problem, and the money to help July transform a ship is a drop in the bucket in Joseph's eyes.

As soon as Eugene's words fell, the hull of the ship suddenly seemed to be covered with a transparent blue film, blocking out all the opponent's attacks.

Eugene had no time to chat with July now, and he shouted excitedly to direct a counterattack, and shells shot out of the hull, ending the battle in twenty minutes almost without any suspense.

The other party's ship was leaking and was now incapable of fighting, and July took the opportunity to let his ship approach the other party, and July was the first to walk after setting up the planks.

Knowing that the other side can win all battles, since your territory is in this sea where pirates are rampant, you must at least understand the details of pirates and know where their base camp is.

After tying up the group of pirates to extract a confession, July finally learned the location of the base camp, but it was because he knew the location that July was speechless.
