Chapter 29: The Beginning
The Adventurers' Association did not delve too much into the origin of the old beggar's Jade Flute, and in their opinion, no matter what level of identity they had, as long as they could pay for it, none of this would be a problem.
Also, after the old beggar posts a quest, the Adventurer's Guild will keep the reward on behalf of the beggar and wait for an adventurer to complete the quest.
Therefore, the old beggar naturally does not have to worry about being killed and robbed, and waits for the adventurer to complete the task with peace of mind.
........
The sea of sand, the outer sea.
In the middle of the blue sea, a black sailing ship about 100 feet long is sailing slowly. The black jib was pulled to the top of the mast by the strong sailors, and the thick cables were tied to various parts of the ship, revealing a mixed and regular beauty.
The Night Phantom's cabin had oars on either side, but it was clear that the sailors didn't need to use them at the moment. Strong sail power is enough to ensure that the sailboat sails.
So much so that most of the people were standing on deck at the moment, increasing the weight of the bow to allow the latter to sail quickly, while waiting to receive orders from the captain.
"Captain, we've finally got you back. On the deck, the minotaur Morey looked at Moreau, who was turning the rudder on the second floor, with an excited expression.
They had been anchored in the sand sea for a month, doing nothing, and the long and boring stay in place had made them pirates unbearable loneliness.
If Morrow hadn't returned to the Night Phantom last night and given the order to sail, some of them would have been unable to bear the loneliness and rowed their boats to Sand Sea City.
Fortunately, Captain Moreau returned, and gave the order to sail. Their captain will once again lead them on the march across the seas.
Moreau stood in front of the rudder, feeling the sea breeze blowing from ahead, and made some adjustments. At the same time as the captain of the seat, Moreau was also an excellent navigator.
"Captain, Captain, where are we going now?
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Morrow turned his head to see that it was Jace, the leader of the first team, and Jabit, the leader of the second team.
Jace and Jebit are two brothers, but their professions are a little different, Jace is the elder brother, he is like an ordinary pirate, good at swordsmanship, and Jebit, is a little different, he is not good at swordsmanship, good at boxing.
But it is worth mentioning that both of them are able to perceive spiritual power, and they are also masters at the level of breaking mirrors. Let's put it this way, apart from Moreau, the two of them are the strongest on the Night Phantom.
As for the deputy captain of the Night Phantom, no one has been able to enter Moreau's eyes so far, so much so that until now, the Night Phantom has not had a single vice captain.
"Jace, Jabit, I'm not going to sail this time. Glancing back at Jace and Jebit, Morrow said lightly.
"Why, Captain?
The captain's food and water are enough to keep us on the sea for at least a year, and with so many resources remaining, I really don't understand why you stopped at the sand sea, captain?"
Hearing Moreau say this, Jebit, who was more anxious, couldn't help but ask.
Mo Luo frowned slightly, and his face gradually showed thought.
Jace tugged at the corner of Jebit's coat, stepped over to the latter and said, "Captain, don't pay attention to Jebit, he's a man who is more anxious, don't forget to go to your heart." ”
As he spoke, he straightened up, looked at Moreau, and said solemnly: "As long as it is the captain's order, I, Jace, will carry it out." ”
"Me too, Captain. As long as it's your order, I'll do it as well. Stunned, Jebit hurriedly said.
"Orders? I don't need it yet, you guys step down first, I'll control it here. ”
Moreau turned his head and looked at the endless sea in front of him, steering the rudder with a thoughtful look on his face.
In this regard, Jace and Jebit glanced at each other, and they all felt a kind of helplessness in the latter's eyes, since Morrow came back yesterday, the whole person has changed dramatically, at least once the temperament of the captain, Jace has not felt it anymore.
Jace and Jebit bowed to Moreau, and the two of them left together to go to the deck.
Moreau's eyes were still looking at the endless sea in front of him, and his expression was still half thoughtful, half serious.
After a long time, he muttered, "Really, can't I find you?"
At the top of the watchtower, black flags painted with skulls rattled.
.......
Inside the White Tiger Village, Chen Yu is still carrying out the task of delivering meals every day.
It's just that this time he delivered the food with an extra short sword tied with a rope around his waist.
"Xiao Chenyu, you're finally here, my sister has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Inside the prison, the corners of Jiang Cao's mouth, who was dressed in gray linen clothes, curled up, and he smiled at Chen Yu. Since that day, the woman seems to have developed some desire to survive, and is not as bent on dying as before.
And,It's also because of this reason.,Follow Chen Yu gradually became familiar with it.。
"Let's eat. ”
Unhurriedly took out a wooden bowl full of porridge from the wooden box, a few steamed buns and a plate of unknown side dishes, Chen Yu's tone was still so indifferent.
The "cruel" experience of nearly a month has completely changed this once innocent child.
"By the way, what about your pets? Why didn't they stick to you today? When you came to deliver food before, didn't you always stand on your shoulders to protect you?" didn't care about Chenyu's tone, Jiang Cao picked up the wooden bowl and chopsticks, and ate the side dishes, which was completely different from the half-dead appearance of the previous few days.
Raising his head, Chen Yu glanced at the woman in front of him, who had changed greatly, closed the wooden lid on the wooden box, and said while facing the prison room next to him: "I don't know, but it should still be in the White Tiger Village." ”
"Why are you cold, can't you be a little more desert island to your sister?"
Jiang Cao's face was unhappy, maybe it was because she had already regarded Chen Yu as a friend.
"Ahaha, that's interesting. On the other side of the prison, the minotaur took a bite of the steamed bun and laughed.
Women are really strange creatures, they were already so miserable some time ago, and now they can still find spiritual sustenance in the prison cell, which is really incredible.
Jiang Cao didn't make a sound, and for the minotaurs next door, she still had a good impression in her heart. At least, when she was at her most embarrassed, they sensibly did not laugh out loud, but silently turned a blind eye.
For this, ginger grass is still very grateful to them. For the Minotaur race, it is really difficult to calm them down.
The temper of the grumpy people is not blown.
......
Glancing lightly at the minotaur in front of him, Chen Yu didn't speak, silently packed up his things and began to walk along the corridor.
He also has to go to the other side of the area to deliver food to the three of them in the basement.
"Hey, Xiao Chenyu!" Just as Chenyu walked to the iron door and was about to stretch out his hand to open the door and leave, the minotaur in the cell spoke again.
Turning around, Chen Yu looked directly at the minotaur and did not speak.
"Freedom, don't you really want to?" He still didn't give up, still trying to persuade Chen Yu to escape from prison and kill this thief's den together, "Xiao Chenyu, believe me, as long as you let our brothers out, our brothers will definitely be able to rush out of here with you."
No, it should be with all the people who are locked up here. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the ginger grass in the prison next door.
"With you?" Chen Yu shook his head and affirmed, "I'll die." ”
After speaking, "Kaci" opened the iron door with a bang, and walked out with the head of the wooden box.
"Hey, Chenyu, don't go, Chenyu, Chenyu, little Chenyu!!"
The Minotaur brothers shouted, but in response to him, there was only a heavy "clucking" sound of the iron door closing.
At the end, the two minotaurs looked at each other, stunned for dozens of seconds, and smiled helplessly.
However, it was also at this moment that a crow chirped outside the prison window, and then a few black feathers fell from the iron window.....
