Chapter 51: The Outsider

When William woke up again, Chloe didn't go back to his room, and he didn't care, he went to find the old pirate Hutcherson, who led him to familiarize himself with the environment on the ship yesterday, and followed the other party to work on the ship. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sailing at sea is very boring, maneuvering the sails is a heavy and tedious task, but at sea you have to pay attention to and adjust the sails to borrow the erratic wind power, and in order to avoid the outbreak of infectious diseases, it is necessary to ensure that the ship's hygiene is not too bad, and cleaning the deck with seawater has become a daily task.

As he washed the deck, William deliberately told Hutcherson and several of the old pirates who worked with him in the room about his conflict with Chloe in the room.

The reaction of a group of old pirates confirmed how bad Chloe's popularity on the ship was, and several of them all laughed out loud when they heard William say that Chloe had "fled".

After laughing, Hutcherson rubbed his red rosacea, took out a copper flask from his bosom, poured it violently, and then handed it to his companion nearby, and at the same time said kindly to William: "You shouldn't be so reckless, you have just come on the ship, and you don't understand many things on the ship." ”

The copper flask was passed back and forth among several pirates, and finally handed to William by an old pirate, who picked up the flask without hesitation, poured it like the others, and then wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a big grin: "Don't worry, he is definitely not my opponent." ”

An old pirate laughed: "Hutcherson is not afraid that you will not be able to beat him, but that he is afraid that the two of you will have a conflict, and the captain will help him." ”

William pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What? Is he a close confidant of the captain?"

"What's more," said the other old pirate, "he's the captain's loyal dog, and he keeps an eye on the rest of the ship, and he has to count any loot at all, as if he were afraid that others would take his master's share." ”

Another pirate said, "It doesn't have to be the captain's dog, I don't think he's trusted by the captain like the vice-captain and Mr. Hayreddin." ”

William blinked, it seems that not everyone on the pirate ship is stupid, although the true situation of Chloe is only known to a few people such as the three redbeard brothers, but it is not that no one guesses that Chloe may be the eyes and ears sent by other forces to follow the ship, but they don't know who is standing behind Chloe.

But even so, it still won't change the pirates' attitude towards Chloe, which is not even about Chloe's own personality and behavior, but purely because of his own interests.

Almost every piece of pirates' loot carries their own or their companions' blood, pirates are not all the protagonists of shonen manga, full of blood and unrealistic fantasies, the vast majority of pirates live a life of licking blood with knives, and all they pursue is money and treasure.

They are narrow-sighted, do not understand the importance of intelligence and logistical support, and only feel that it is unfair to have a large share of what they have snatched with their lives.

"Hey, don't say it," Hutcherson saw from a distance that Vice-Captain Lacey was walking here, and hurriedly retracted the flask into his arms, beckoned William and the others to work together, and finally admonished, "No matter whose dog it is, the owner behind him is not something we can provoke casually, so don't be so impulsive next time, Stolt." ”

……

In Red Leaf Village, an inconspicuous small merchant ship slowly docked on the dock, Sherlock, who had a somewhat haggard face, got off the ship, and saw Edmund and Aramis waiting at first glance.

As soon as Sherlock appeared, Edmund and Aramis greeted him.

Sherlock was carrying a suitcase, and Aramis looked a little haggard, so he tried to help carry it, but he politely refused.

Aramis stopped insisting and spoke, "I've asked Tony to arrange a place to stay. ”

Sherlock nodded, thanking the other party for his kindness, not that he was rude, but that he was too tired to speak.

After killing someone, Sherlock immediately left the family base camp without stopping, but this does not mean that he has abandoned all the wealth in his family.

The so-called cunning rabbit three holes, living in a society infested with pirates, the merchants of this world understand this truth better than anyone else, concentrate their wealth in one place, and as long as they are looted by pirates, all their efforts will be in vain.

The Shining Gold Trading Company has accumulated a lot of wealth over several generations, and the specific business, because most of them are in the territory of the Kingdom of Navia, Sherlock can only give up, but those cash, antique collections and other properties that can be taken away or hidden, Sherlock is not ready to throw them to the enemy.

Taking advantage of the fact that Alcatio has not received the news, or has not yet reacted to the news, Sherlock has been running around and busy transferring the property, because of the rush of time, there are many losses in the process, but he can't care so much, he can only hurry up, until now it is considered to be the finishing touch, and he can temporarily relax and rest.

Sherlock followed Aramis and Edmund to a small courtyard prepared in advance, and he was not interested in looking at the environment, and when he arrived at the bedroom, almost the first time he saw the soft bed, his body lost control, and he involuntarily fell on it, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.

Edmund and Aramis looked at each other, quietly exited the room, and closed the door as they left.

Sherlock slept until the next morning, when he opened the bedroom door to find Edmund and Aramis sitting in the living room eating breakfast.

Sherlock heard that there was a gap between the two because of Wallon's death, but now it seems that although the two are not very close, they are not to the point of not getting along, and even he feels that the two are much more mature than before, unlike before, they are not like before, and they both write each other's unpleasant attitude on their faces.

Seeing him appear, Edmund smiled and pointed to the extra breakfast on the table, "I knew you would be hungry." ”

Sherlock slept for a while, his face looked much better, and after thanking him, he moved away from his chair and sat down, and said with a wry smile: "I'm a wanted criminal now, and I really don't know where to go, so I can only come here to trouble you." ”

"William already knows about you, and he asked me to tell you to stay here with peace of mind, it's safe here. Edmund said.

When Sherlock heard him mention William, he asked the doubts in his heart: "What about William? Why haven't I seen him all this time?"

"William is now on the ship of 'Redbeard' Barbarossa. Edmund said.

Who knew that Sherlock's color changed after hearing this, and Edmund knew that it was his unfinished words that made him misunderstand, and quickly explained, "He is very safe, he got on the ship in disguise." ”

Sherlock relaxed a little, but said anyway, "'Redbeard' is not easy to mess with, this news is not something to be said casually with people. ”

Aramis interjected, "William said, you are not an outsider. ”

The knife and fork that was moving in Sherlock's hand paused slightly, and after a big upheaval, he was somewhat moved when he heard such a sentence.

He blinked slowly, smiled at Edmund and Alamis, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm out of sight." ”
