Chapter 38: Chapter 4

"The order was given to let the original ships continue to move forward, and we took five light ships to the southeast." The next morning, the sun rose from the sea level, the seabirds spread their wings and crossed the sky in a beautiful arc, Ah Zhai stood at the bow of the ship in a navy black uniform, the sun fell on his hand, the black-haired young man looked condensed, the bright red cloak flew in the sea breeze, he raised his head slightly and squinted, the black cat squatted steadily on his shoulder, and behind him a team of soldiers in dark blue military uniforms stood quietly like a silent stone sculpture, with a sharp edge.

"Barnett, I'll leave the matter of building an island for my brother to you." This is the eighth day of sailing on the ship, under the means of cheating by the black cat, Ah Zhai removed a lot of nails, and the way to deal with these people, after struggling for a long time, he still chose to follow the method of the original owner in his memory and chose to order someone to cut out the wounds on their limbs, and then use blood to attract sharks, and put these living people into the shark school with ropes.

It was the twelfth day of his ship, and a large area of the sea was stained red with the blood of the betrayers, attracting the predators of the deep sea to chase around the hull, the blood was stained in the sea, and they were muddy, and fifty light ships surrounded them in the center, and from time to time the feeding sharks could be seen turning over comfortably to reveal their snow-white bellies, and groups of men wailing and struggling in the water—it took the Guards a whole day and a night to wash away the blood on the deck.

But on the contrary, these living sergeants did not question the practice of Ah Zhai because of the dead nails. They fought in the Seven Seas to open up territory and kill pirates all year round, I don't know how many of their comrades have died at the hands of these despicable pirates, and therefore these soldiers stared at Ah Zhai with fanatical worship in their eyes, although there are also zài moths, but the hatred accumulated from generations of confrontations with pirates has always allowed them to turn their guns and unite with the outside world.

No one knew about it, including the black cat sleeping at the foot of the bed, and that it had been difficult for the boy to get a good night's sleep for more than ten days, and in his sleep he seemed to see the dead and the vast blood-stained sea, and the people who had been sentenced to death struggling for mercy, wailing and begging for forgiveness or asking for his life-even though he knew that he was doing the right thing, but he could not let go of the beliefs he had cultivated in modern society for a long time -- that holding power in his hands did not mean that he could decide the lives of others, According to the normal procedure, they should be tried, but Ah Zhai chose the bloodiest and most direct means to suppress it, firstly, because the original owner himself was a fierce and iron-blooded person, and secondly, this is also the ship he can master in the shortest possible time.

He doesn't necessarily need their trust and affection, but he only needs them to be afraid of him for a short time, because he may disappear into the Nanami Navy in the next few days.

Judging from the inherent plot, he actually did not trust the current reigning Emperor William III, and the long-term tranquility of the sea made these nobles in the imperial capital forget the blood and tears when they sailed many years ago, and their merchant ships full of goods were able to safely navigate the waterways thanks to the fierce fighting power of the governor of the Seven Seas, gold mines from the distant continent, tea and silk from the mysterious East, and diamonds and jewels from the Far West...... While enjoying the great wealth brought by the seafaring business, they had long forgotten the army that escorted them - in fact, although the empire gave the little earl the title of governor of the seven seas, most of his sergeants still relied on their own recruitment, in order not to arouse the emperor's covetousness, although the number of soldiers under his command was large, but a large part of them were hung in the name of the Duke of Rose, as the duke's private soldiers, for many years, the source of military pay in addition to the sea trade was the provision of the Rose Domain.

And being able to afford so many troops shows the abundance of the Rose Territory. There has never been a shortage of greedy people in this world, as early as William I, the royal family coveted this fertile land, but for a long time, although His Excellency Duke has different personalities, which is not bad, but they are all outstanding, and they have not let the emperor who is far away in the imperial capital quite restrained take advantage of it, not to mention the famous Seven Seas Navy, for this country with a long coastline, the Rose Territory is not a barrier to protect the west of the country? Therefore, several generations of emperors who are still wise have taken care of it, and they do not use too drastic techniques before tearing their faces, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Rose family is really not prosperous.

"Aren't you going to take Barnett away?" Sherlock walked briskly, and as a proud cat, he had won the favor of countless cat ladies with his elegant demeanor.

"He's a loyal man, I have no doubt about that, but he's not a flexible person, and it's him who says a tendon, so I'm relieved to hand over the construction of the island to him, but chasing down Rey and Caroline and I'll only bring him with me, and if he really kills Rey, can I still kill Caroline and bury him with him?"

Located in the southeast of the Seven Seas, the island of Palamós is a vast island with rich vegetation, and as an emerald that leads from the port of Padre, it lies quietly in a blue wave, and has the reputation of being the lost pearl of God.

But unlike Padre Harbor, the small island of Palamós is populated by a more complex population, from wandering bards to mystical soothsayers, glamorous dancers, and pirates who are rumored to make children cry...... The only thing that is not is the Seven Seas Navy - after all, the people who are stranded on this island are either criminals or adventurers, who treat the law as nothing, and many are felons.

On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

Five blue mast galleons sailed silently into the harbor.

It can be seen that its predecessor is quite similar to the warship of the Nanami Navy, but considering that there are also bigwigs among the pirates who have been able to get the military's drawings over the years, the crowd at the dock continues to do things back to their own hands after a brief surprise.

The ship stopped for a while, and shortly after that, a group of dozens of people came down from the deck. Walking in the front is a black-haired young man holding a black cat, he is wearing a black narrow-sleeved embroidered robe, the style of the robe is very similar to the far East, the gold thread on the robe is embroidered with a head like a bull's head, a body like a snake's body, horns like antlers, eyes like shrimp eyes, nose like a lion's nose, mouth like a donkey's mouth, ears like cat ears, claws like eagle claws, tail like a fish's tail strange animal, the insightful bard whispered to others to introduce this is a kind of mythical beast of the Oriental Magical Empire, called a dragon, Only the local nobility were able to wear clothes with such embroidery.

As a result, people involuntarily ignored the high-nosed and deep-eyed guards who followed the young man, believing that he was a nobleman from the ancient kingdom of the East.

"Honorable young master, is there anything I can ask Ed to help you?" The intelligence dealer who was squatting on the dock smiled flatteringly and approached the boy.

"I'm looking for someone." With the help of the power of the black cat, they learned that the male protagonist had lost his memory and was stranded on this island, and after changing his outfit, they soon landed in this place where the original owner had never set foot in, "Find my destined lover." ”

"I think it must be a beautiful girl." Ed smiled humbly and complimented.

"He's a man." Showing a contemptuous smile in the way of the original master in his memory, Ah Zhai said slowly, "Who gave you the courage to figure out the thoughts of this young master at will?" ”

“…… Sorry, sir. The surprise in his eyes flashed, Ed didn't show a look of disdain, who knows how these brightly dressed nobles secretly look unsightly.

"For the sake of your knowledge, if you can help me find him, then this bag of gold is yours." The gloved boy took out a royal blue money bag from his bosom, and the silver thread embroidered with twig honeysuckle was extraordinarily delicate, "His name is Edward, and he is a tall and handsome young man with a pair of deep blue eyes. ”

"Of course, there's nothing in the whole of Palamós that Ed doesn't know." The cunning intelligence dealer heard the rattling coins in the money bag, and his eyes flashed with greed, although he was not sure whether the contents were all the gold coins that the boy said, but looking at the young man's dress, he was afraid that he was another arrogant lord - not the down-and-out people who slapped their swollen faces and became fat before!

"I'm sure you won't let me down." Coldly throwing the money bag on the entourage behind him, the tall and silent officer obediently took it, poured out twenty gold coins from it and handed it to Ed, and then meekly retreated to the young man's hand. Casting him another approving look, the house continued, "Now take us to the best inn on the island - I don't want to meet any dirty people - and then you can start looking for the man I'm talking about, and of course, I'll give you a portrait of him in order to find him sooner." ”

"Yes, sir." It's not that Ed didn't think about simply swallowing this little young master of the East who didn't have any experience in going out at first glance, but after noticing the guards behind him who had been unconsciously ignored in the previous conversation between the two, Ed only felt that a layer of cold sweat was dense behind his back, such a well-trained escort who blends into the crowd at any time is obviously not something that ordinary aristocratic families can train, and considering the five big ships, I am afraid that this guy is still from a big nobleman's background, and all the crooked ideas here have disappeared completelyIt was with this caution that he was able to occupy the number one intelligence dealer on the island for many years without incident.
