Chapter 338: Life is like a play
Brooke the Skeleton Man seems to be the most suspicious of a sudden change on the ship, but Joey Ferry quickly dispels his suspicions about Brooke.
When the people had just come out of the dining room, Joey Ferry had no suspicion of Brooke at all, and he was not vigilant enough, and at that time Brooke wanted to leave, it was the best opportunity, with the speed and agility that Brooke had shown in front of the crew, no one on the ship could stop him, and there was no need for him to stay on the ship, surrounded by a group of sailors.
Later, a team that went to the stern of the ship to inspect reported that in the direction of the ship's back to the island, a strange gate like a sluice appeared, and the gate was tightly closed, along with the walls on both sides that spread into the mist, tying the Starlight around the island.
The leaders of the merchant ships such as Baucia, Joey Fello, and Kaslana all felt that the situation was tricky, and the island that suddenly appeared was obviously exuding a strange atmosphere, even the inexperienced Baucia felt that she should not go to the island, if she could, Joey Fellowo would definitely let his men blast open the gate behind him with cannonballs and escape from here, but now not only was the way blocked by the gate, but the rudder was also damaged, and the ship's doctor was seriously injured, and they had nowhere to escape.
The rudder is actually okay, it can be repaired, the doctor's injury is the most important, without the doctor on the voyage, Joey Ferry can't imagine what a bad situation it would be, it is likely that a sudden epidemic will destroy the whole ship.
After much deliberation and a little more communication with Baucia, Joey Fellowo decided to let someone go to the island to see if he could get some help, and at the worst he could find some tools.
Although Joey Fellowo usually does not mince words to Baucia, the arrangements made at this time seem to be loyal, he personally led people to explore the island, went to the mansion to find people, let Baucia lead people to guard the Starlight, if the signs are wrong, try his best to blow up the gate and leave the island.
Joey Fellowo brought Kaslana with him, and when he asked for help, some of his companions were wearing navy uniforms, which at least made strangers more trusting.
In addition, in addition to the female naval Kaslana, Joey Fello also called William, Arkin, and Selkirk, and had the idea of using the three of them as cannon fodder when it was not necessary.
Brooke the Skeleton Man, because he wanted to repair his own pirate ship, also wanted to try his luck on the island, and offered to go with him, and Joey Ferry gladly agreed.
Baucia stood at the bow of the boat, watching worriedly as the small boat in which Joey Fello and the others were riding slowly sailed towards the island, and finally disappeared into the fog.
Baucia looked at her for a while, and was about to return to the cabin, but was stopped by Clark, the guard who had not left her: "Miss!"
Clark pointed in the direction of the island with some surprise, and Baucia looked in the direction of her guard, and noticed a dim light in the fog, and not long after, a strange boat appeared in Baucia's field of vision, heading towards her merchant ship.
Surprised and wary, her bodyguard, Clark, had drawn his two-handed sword and told her to hide behind the guard, and the other sailors who were still on the ship had taken up their arms and stood on guard.
When the strange boat was still some distance from the merchant ship, it stopped, and one of them stood in the bow of the ship, and shouted to the sailors whose heads were only visible behind the guard: "Hello, I am Hogubak, the master of the mansion on the island in front, and my servant told me that a ship has suddenly stopped near the island, may I ask you what has happened to you?
"Hocubac?" Baucia, who was hiding behind the guard, heard the other party's shout, muttered the somewhat familiar name, and then ignored the guard Clark's obstruction, came to the guard, and looked at the man standing at the bow of the boat.
The man has a fat upper body, but a pair of unusually slender long legs, but the strangest thing is not his size, but his appearance, under a pair of small eyes, a nose as sharp as a carrot, and when he speaks, a large mouth opens and closes, revealing unusually sharp canine teeth.
All in all, this person is ugly, and the ugliness is fresh and refined, and it is very distinctive, so that those who have seen him will be unforgettable after just one glance, so Baucia quickly turned over information about this person from memory.
"Is that genius surgeon!?" Baucia, who was well educated, quickly remembered Hogubak's identity and whispered in surprise, "He's been missing for a few years, so he's here?"
"If you don't need help, I'll leave, but I'll stay in the mansion on the island, and you can come to me at any time." ”
"Wait!" Seeing Hogubak leaving, Baucia hurriedly shouted, "Are you the famous surgeon Hogubak?"
Hogubak pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Yes, that's right, I'm indeed a doctor, do you know me?"
"We have a wounded man on our ship who needs your help, can you save him?" begged Baucia.
"Miss?" called Clark, the guard on the side.
Regardless of whether this Hogubak is the genius surgeon with a reputation in the medical field, his identity and position are questionable, don't forget, there is a closed door behind the Starlight blocking the way, saying that it was not artificial, and Clark did not believe that he was killed, all of this is likely to be related to Hogubak.
"He's the only one who can save the ship's doctor now. Baucia was not unaware of Crick's suspicions, but she could only sigh.
On the other side, Hogubak hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Baucia's request, and when the boat approached, Baucia and the others found that he had only a young and beautiful maid on board, and there were no bodyguards, and he seemed to be completely unsuspecting of the people of the merchant ship.
Clark frowned, he had been hesitating to take advantage of Hogubak's clumsy climb of the rope ladder, but he also knew how important the safety of the ship's doctor was to the whole ship, so he could not make up his mind, so he offended Hogubak, the only one who could save the ship's doctor, with a little suspicion.
When Hogubak got on the boat, as if he didn't see the faint vigilance in the eyes of the whole boat, he only anxiously asked Baucia where the wounded were.
Baucia hurriedly led him to the ship's doctor's infirmary, where the guard Creek stayed with Baucia and stood between her and Hogubak.
Hogubak didn't care, and hurriedly followed Baucia to the infirmary, as if he was worried about the patient's safety.
The ship's doctor was already unconscious, his body was wrapped in thick bandages by sailors who did not know medical skills, and the bandages were already wet with blood at this time, Hogubak briefly checked the ship's doctor's injuries, and said to Baucia with a solemn face: "He is too seriously injured, he needs professional surgery, the environment here is too simple, and there are no tools, you must move him to my mansion, if you delay any longer, he will die." ”
