"Sure enough, the big ship and the cannon are the romance of men!"
Muttering this mantra that military history lovers often hang on their lips, Luo Zhengdao turned his head and looked at the second-hand goods that he had booked in the dock not far away, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Oh, yes! Thanks to the blessing of this ** former owner, Luo Zhengdao will not start from scratch, if you want to enjoy the romance of a man or something, the road ahead seems to be very tortuous and long!
Vina Dubov, who is familiar with business operations, calculated that the cost was not small but still within the budget, she nodded with satisfaction, and said to Luo Zhengdao:
"Well, the ship is already there, and we are short of sailors."
Luo Zhengdao was a little confused when he heard this, so he asked rhetorically:
"Aren't there sailors on our ship?"
Hearing the sound, the half-elf beauty rolled her eyes very charmingly, perhaps because she realized that she couldn't explain the reason with this amnesiac Xiaobai, she explained to Luo Zhengdao with a headache:
"Please, the Brave is just a brig, there are more than eighty sailors in total, and when we broke through, we fought with the goblins, and the crew suffered a lot of casualties, and now the manpower that can be used to control this sixth-level battleship is not enough."
"Where are we going to recruit people?"
Seeing that Luo Zhengdao, who was ruthlessly despised, touched the back of his head and laughed, this can be regarded as self-mockery, anyway, it's not just this time that he made a fool of himself, and habit became natural.
Seeing this, Vina Dubov sighed heartily and said with hatred
"To the bar, of course! Will, the old earl is gone, you are the helmsman of the Count of Folloe's family, and you have to learn to deal with all kinds of characters. Although you are a nobleman and an earl, these daring fellows at sea will not be as obedient as the sailors who have been raised by the earl's family for generations, they can start a rebellion at any time, you don't want to be hanged on the mast, do you? ”
Hearing the admonition of the half-elf beauty, the old god nodded without saying a word in Luo Zhengdao, who was there, he had always felt very strange before, the attitude of the sailors of the Yonghao was too polite and respectful to him, it was not at all like the Age of Discovery that he knew, and he didn't expect that the crux of the problem was actually in this place. It turned out that those sailors were all die-hard members of the Earl Fulu family for generations, and it is no wonder that they obeyed Luo Zhengdao, a hairy boy who had not even grown a beard, and respectfully worshiped him as a god, and it was estimated that these people had already entrusted their lives to the survival of the Earl's family.
In the old world to the modern world, the vast sea is still a wild place far from the mainstream social order, and the Somali piracy problem alone has almost pulled the world's navies to the Horn of Africa to join in the fun.
confirmed that his earlier speculation was correct, Luo Zhengdao was quite happy, and said with a full mouth:
"I see, let's go!"
Where there are sailors, there must be taverns, just as where there are addicts, there must be drug dealers, noisy and noisy, filled with the smell of alcohol and the strange smell of mold, so filthy that the suffocating air is filled with smoke. When Luo Zhengdao stopped in front of the largest bar in Ambon Port, as far as the eye could see, a table of strong men with big waists and round waists was drinking and binge. There was an occasional scream of a woman in the bar, most likely a MILF hostess who had been pinched and oiled by a sailor who had drunk too much, or a cheap warbler who was coquettish with his regular customers.
"Hey, half-elf girl, come and have a drink with Uncle! Don't mess with that little white face, is his thing as big as Lao Tzu? Can it satisfy you at night? ”
"Hahaha......"
As the saying goes: Wine is strong and courageous. The drunken bearded sailor facing the door caught a glimpse of Vena Dobov, who was quite outstanding in appearance and temperament, and got up to make a mockery with the strength of his wine. After that, this guy rubbed his crotch vigorously with his big furry hands like bear paws, and seemed to be ready to pick up his gun and get on the horse.
Luo Zhengdao, who was looking at the door, naturally saw this scene very clearly, and he noticed that in an instant, Vina Dubov's pretty face was flooded with a layer of black gas, and it was clear that he was about to soar! Half-elves are the hybrid descendants of humans and elves, most of them have both human and elf personality traits, dare to go to the harbor bar such a mixed place to wander, no visitor will be a soft persimmon that can be manipulated, let alone a beauty like Vina? The new world is not a place where the wind of harmony blows, and the soft girl who lacks experience and combat effectiveness is tied up and sold as a slave early in the morning, or she is simply trained into a meat x device, from early xxoo to late.
"Whoosh-bang! Buzz ......"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Vina Dubov had completed the whole process from bending the bow and aiming to shoot, and she fired a turquoise arrow at very close range, clinging to the bearded cheek of the furious mouth and penetrating into the wooden pillar behind him. After accurately hitting the target, the tail of the arrow, which had not yet disappeared, was still violent, and a low buzzing sound suddenly appeared.
At the time of this conflict, the originally noisy bar suddenly quieted down, and only then did I hear the half-elf beauty who put down her bow and arrow say coldly:
“…… If you don't close that stinky mouth of yours, I'll sew it up for you. ”
The New World is not a chaotic place without the so-called law and order, but those things only exist within the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the great powers, such as the Yaling Empire, the Elven Federation and the former Bright Dynasty are of course qualified to talk about law and order, these enclave islands scattered within the Seven Seas, you might as well paraphrase the views of the ancient Chinese people, all of them can only be regarded as barbarian lands. Since it is voluntarily run to this kind of place to beg for a living, then there is no need to expect to meet any law-abiding masters, walking in this lawless place, whose fists are hard enough, who is the uncle, whether the behavior is in line with the rules or not only depends on whether the fists are hard enough and big enough, and the reason is as simple as that.
The commotion caused by the accident did not last long, and at a glance it was clear that the barkeeper with dwarven blood was dangling out of the counter with his arms crossed, and his stocky body, which was as thick as an ale barrel, was not filled with a fat and useless piece of fat. If you don't have some real talent and real skills, you can't get mixed up.
The barkeeper danced the heavy double-edged forged steel battle axe in his hand as if showing off his skills, as easily as playing with a fluttering lamp grass, and he blew his beard and glared at the guests with different expressions, and said:
"This store only allows drinking, and it is forbidden to make troubles and fights, do you have any disputes to go out and solve them alone, do you want to eat cockroaches and rats in the cell of the city guard for a few days?"
Those who are pure outsiders don't care, anyway, they are just passing by, those who have been active in Ambon Port for many years do not dare to offend the bar owner, who doesn't know, like this kind of black and white all-you-can-eat snake is the most difficult?
At this time, the bearded man, who was almost pierced through the throat by Vina, stood up, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded to the barkeeper and said:
"Hey, hey, hey, boss, you're misleading, I'm joking with these guys with new faces."
Regardless of whether you ask, you can know how many inaccuracies are in such a statement, and the bar owner did not come out to uphold justice, he just wanted to protect his rights and interests from being violated. Coldly looking at the half-elf beauty and human aristocratic boy standing at the door, the barkeeper said in a rough voice with a battle axe in both hands:
"What's the matter with the two of you? If you're not here for a drink, please leave my bar. ”
This partiality had long been expected by Vina Dubov, who moved to Luo Zhengdao's side and said softly:
"Will, tell me!"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded slightly, puffed up his chest and took a step forward, and said loudly:
"I'm Captain Will Needham, and I'm going to recruit some sailors, who wants to come on board and follow me?"
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's words, the bearded strong man who had just suffered a sullen loss was unwilling to be lonely, he could be regarded as finding an opportunity to vent his personal anger, and immediately grinned wildly and said mockingly:
"Hahahaha, a kid who doesn't have any hair can be a captain? Can Lao Tzu also be the governor of Ambon for a while? ”
The other sailor at the same table as the cheek alley also drunkenly laughed and said:
"My honorable governor, will you give us poor devils a glass of ale to drink?"
Seeing this, the angry Luo Zhengdao's eyes revealed a touch of murderous intent, the environment he is in can shape a person the most, and the degree of change will come faster than you think. After crossing over several times, Luo Zhengdao quickly adapted to the rules of behavior in this cruel new world, knowing that he must not show weakness to the other party, he stared intently at this bearded sailor, and scolded:
"Shut up, bastard! Do you want to go out and settle the conflict with me with a sword? ”
This is not a lie, Luo Zhengdao does have the intention and ability to draw a sword to kill the other party, this self-confidence needs to be traced back to the former owner of this body, Will Needham, his years of swordsmanship training gave Luo Zhengdao great confidence, so that the traverser had to express his heartfelt gratitude, this precious heritage is very valuable.
Although he was born as a hereditary nobleman, the young master Wei had done a lot of hard work, and he had also practiced a superb swordsmanship, and his moves were a little fancy, but his basic swordsmanship skills were still quite solid and stable. Even if Will Needham is already gone, and the owner of this body has become Luo Zhengdao, a smuggler, the swordsmanship that he has worked so hard to cultivate is still remembered by the body. The so-called no fist and no courage, if a person has the skill of killing, he can kill someone as soon as he makes a move, and he will naturally be full of courage.
As the saying goes, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. Being kind to others is often too good in real life, and those who choose to be your enemy may not have a clear goal, and are likely to just want to suppress others in exchange for a little cheap self-satisfaction.
After graduating from college, Luo Zhengdao has been mixed in society for many years, and he has seen a lot of villains with red tops and whites. The more you forbear and retreat, hoping to calm things down, the more they have the presumptuous urge to kick their noses in the face, on the contrary, if you directly turn your face and fight, they will be in awe, and turn to orchestrate a lot of things behind their backs, and they are all a bunch of soft eggs in front of them. It is precisely because Luo Zhengdao is well versed in the samadhi of mixed society and knows that forbearance cannot be exchanged for goodwill, so he does not hesitate to put on a strong posture of disagreement and blood splashing five steps to intimidate the other party.
The tense atmosphere of saber rattling permeated the bar, the noisy noise disappeared, and the bearded man's face became more and more ugly, and the days of licking blood from the knife made him able to tell whether the opponent was lying and threatening, and it was knowing that the other party was not scaring himself, and today's matter was doubly difficult to end!
