By this time, it was already four days after the battle with the pirates, and for Margaret and Zeziria, it was as if everything was back to normal, except for the Susan disappearing into the sea and the Red Bay having a few more wounded.

The Susan finally sank, the explosion of the ** barrel made the ship completely scrapped, fortunately the Susan did not sink immediately, but drifted on the sea for a long time, at the critical moment, God favored the Susan, at this time the sea was not alarmed, and the wind and the sun rose, so the crew of the Susan was quickly organized, and began to rescue the supplies on the ship under the command of the Pride.

Of course, there was only time to salvage the valuables, such as the Duchess's jewel chest, jewelry box, and of course several large chests full of gold and silver coins.

Her Excellency the Duchess's crew was carefully selected, most of them were veterans of the old Henk family, and their loyalty was not in question, and after the initial panic and despair, especially after witnessing the rescue of the mistress, they rekindled their hope for life.

The servants even fished up some of the Duchess's clothes.

As for the captain, Mr. Greens, he was fully healthy by this time.

In fact, he was not injured at all during the whole battle, he was just stunned by the explosion of the ** barrel, so he lay in the cabin of the Nicole for a day, and then after eating two unforgettable Australian meals, he was already walking around the ship in good spirits.

Of course, what he saw and heard on the Nicole in the past two days shocked him more than ten ** barrels exploded around him, and he even thought that he might have died, and everything in front of him was in another world, a new world brought to him by God.

If it weren't for the Red Bay, which followed not far away, he might have really thought that he and the ship were in another world.

The people on the Nicole were very friendly to him, and he could tell from the look in his eyes, and everyone would greet him after meeting, many of them in simple English.

Because he was the captain of a ship, some young people also asked him about maritime communications and signal flags, and even about sail steering and the weather and wind and waves at sea.

It's amazing how English is spoken by these young people! Well, for a sailor from the port of Dover, England, he thinks that the English of these young people is not standard, and even very weird, but if you listen carefully, with all kinds of body language and understanding, you can still communicate.

Out of gratitude for saving his life, Captain Greens knew everything about the group of people who came to ask for advice, and he soon had many friends.

He can now communicate with the ship's chef in stammering Chinese, and in Captain Greens' eyes, the tall Chinese chef is a man of stories, elegant and knowledgeable, and highly skilled in cooking.

Greening swears to the chef that you could make a name for yourself in the French court, but you're on a ship! Of course, this is a miraculous ship, and probably only this miraculous iron ship can match your amazing chef......

Sun and Grimes soon became good friends, and in these days, the captain told the chef about his family history, his life experiences, and of course his employer, the Duchess Margaret.

And Sun Lao was obviously very interested in the subject, and whenever he talked about the Duchess Margaret, the chef would pour him some spirits in his glass. For Greens, there is always a variety of good things to eat at Chef's, and he loves to go to Chef's.

And, to his delight, his movements were not restricted in any way - except for a small room with strange magical powers.

At that time, he opened a small door, and the space inside barely allowed him to be alone, and curiosity made him look around, and then, a huge tremor suddenly spread through his body, making his muscles twitch violently, and then, he was bounced out by a huge force, poor Captain Greens' hair was smoking, and he sat on the deck without being able to get up for a while.

This scene was seen by a young sailor passing by, who laughed, hurried up to check it out, and pulled him up from the ground.

Then, after knowing the situation, Captain Gu immediately locked all the rooms with 110 volts, especially the small power distribution rooms on each deck.

Gu Jin thinks that Greens's rough skin and thick flesh should not matter if he is electrocuted, but there are still two women on the boat, it will not be good if he is scorched.

However, these encounters did not stop Grims from exploring, he was an exploratory man, a very hard worker, otherwise he would not have been a captain in the Royal Navy in his twenties, and then he quit the navy to own his own ship and ran on the sea for nearly a decade.

However, he consciously stayed away from the platform on the fore and aft decks, where there were many fortresses with thin pipes, and several canvas-covered things on the top of the cockpit, and with his vast sailing experience and knowledge, Captain Greens knew that it must be the place where God's punishment was issued, it was a firearm, and since it was covered with canvas, he did not want people to get a glimpse of the secrets in it, and he knew that there were some secrets on this ship, and even the whole group of people were secrets.

There was so much magic about this ship made entirely of steel, but as an adult, he knew that there were some things that he didn't want to know, even though the people on board, from the captain to the sailors, didn't hide anything from him.

In fact, the most attractive thing to him was the wealth on board, when he was shocked when he drank with a glass from the chef, and then a young man named Xu Zhi, who spoke fluent French and English, showed him around the baskets of glassware and jars and bags of sugar in the warehouse, and he realized that the door of a new world was slowly opening to him.

Soon, he decided that he must live with this group of people, and he was ready to persuade His Excellency the Duchess to do business with the Australians to make a living, of course, if His Excellency the Duchess did not agree, then he would regrettably resign and become an ordinary sailor on the Pride.

After all, eating the chef's meals every day is already a very happy thing, not to mention the opportunity to make a fortune!

He believed that Captain Gu would accept him as a sailor, at least on the beautiful flat-deck sailing ship---- Pride as a sailor.

Captain Greens believes that in addition to the chef, Captain Gu is also a gentleman, completely free of the rudeness and cruelty usually found in the captains of ocean-going ships, and Greens guesses that Captain Gu must have had a noble background before.

Yes, Captain Gu's demeanor is simply too different in the circle of sailing captains, and such a gentleman actually did not dislike him as a down-and-out person, Captain Gu not only gave him enough respect in his speech and demeanor, but also asked him a lot of questions about navigation.

Grimes also noticed that Captain Gu had a small silver cross hanging on his chest, which was hanging from the inside of his coat, obviously the captain did not deliberately show this, but although the cross was small, it was very beautifully made, and the careful Captain Gu found that Grims's vision was in sight, so he gave him this chrome-plated copper alloy cross.
