Everyone has scars, but some people are on their bodies and some are in their hearts.

Hearing me ask about Princess Maggie, Mavi's face took on a pained look. After a long time, Fang Cai sighed and said, "I'm leaving here anyway, and it doesn't matter if I'm telling the truth, right?" Captain, you've promised to take me in, haven't you? ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said lightly, "The local laws are not binding on me, as long as you are loyal to Jian Hai, I don't care about your past." ”

Mavihaha laughed and said excitedly: "I finally met a reliable boss!" Then I'll be honest. ”

With a gentle tug from his chest, he pulled out a pendant, opened it and handed it to me. When I took it, I lit it and saw that it was a sketch of two children. One boy, one girl. The two of them were side by side, smiling happily.

I handed the pendant back to Mavi, but I didn't speak, but waited for him to continue.

"This is me and my sister, Maggie, yes, Princess Maggie. She's my sister, my half-sister! Mavi's expression suddenly darkened, and she seemed very sad.

I scratched my head a little and asked, "Hmm...... Mavi, I don't really understand what you're saying. This one...... I mean, that indigenous king he ...... Did he know about it when he was alive? ”

Mavi raised his head, and in a blink of an eye, he was happy again, and said with a sly smile: "Of course I don't know! My dad did it cleanly! How could that stupid king know? "I actually have a very proud face.

I and the audience around me were silent, this seems to be ...... Isn't it something to be proud of? The melodious tune of "Hulunbuir Prairie" sounded in my ears......

So I coughed and continued, "So, you can tell me what you really think." Mavi. ”

Mavi didn't hide it, and said excitedly: "I want to save Maggie!" Captain! ”

I frowned slightly, I don't mind helping others, but I don't like to be taken advantage of.

My silence made Mavi nervous, and he was afraid that I would break the previous agreement and not take him away. So he quickened his pace and continued, "Because no matter what, there will be a battle between Blade Sea and Kuhn!" Captain. ”

I nodded and said calmly, "You're right. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and when we come to Nanyang, we and Kuhn will definitely not cooperate closely. But I want to know, Chef Mavi, you're trying to use me to find your own family, or to get revenge, right? ”

Mavi lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and continued: "My father is a king of the South Seas. I mean, it used to be. ”

A trace of unconcealable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly continued: "Our kingdom is on Panay Island, south of Manila. My father used to be the ruler there. However, with his death, that is no longer the case, and you can see that I am now a cook. After saying that, a wry smile of self-deprecation appeared on his face.

I asked, "What happened?" I mean, your kingdom. ”

"Tsunami! An incredibly strong tsunami! Mavi's face was covered with gloom, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched, and suddenly lowered again, and he sighed, "When I was six years old, there was an unprecedented tsunami on Panay Island, and our kingdom was destroyed!" Many people died, including my mother, so my father took me out to sea and lived by selling past stock and maritime trade. ”

I nodded, and then asked, "What happened later?" ”

Mawi continued: "Later, we came here, in Manila, to meet my father's old friend, Mr. Pence, the local governor. Mr. Pence was very kind to us, giving us a stronghold from which to engage in the maritime trade with peace of mind - and of course, helping Pence with some problems, such as debt collection, finding exotic goods, etc., and he would pay us some money, and in general, we were doing well! ”

I knew there was a story to come, so I didn't speak, but listened quietly. The night breeze was blowing, and it seemed to be a little cool, and the kite leaned gently on my arm, her cheek against my shoulder.

"Later, my father met the queen of the southern kingdom of Siva, and both of them admired and loved each other, so they ...... And so there is my sister Maggie! For the first time, Mavi seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he added loudly, "But I know that my father and Lady Ninian are truly in love, and until he died, he did not change his feelings......"

I hummed, smacked my lips, and continued to ask, "Your father ......"

Mavi raised his head and said calmly, "Father died of gunshot wounds. With that, he pulled up the placket of his shirt and exposed his abdomen. By the light of the fire, I could clearly see that there were a few crooked wounds there, but they were already years old, and in the light and shadow, those wounds were like twisting snakes, which made people's hearts palpitate!

"When I was twelve, well, Maggie was over four. My father took me out to sea, and our ship went to Mago (Macau) and brought back the fine black tea and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, as well as this pendant. Mavi stroked the pendant in his hand and said faintly: "Originally, my father wanted to give Maggie, and mine was another, but before Manila sent to the port, we were suddenly hit hard!" ”

His face was covered with gloom, and his tone was so rapid that my ears seemed to hear the tragedy of that time! "It was very windy! It's a hurricane! Our ships barely held on, crossing the Pacific Ocean and returning to Manila! However, just five nautical miles before the port, we were attacked with unprecedented onslaught! ”

"They were flying the flag of Santa Marta, we all thought they were Spaniards. So the ship's interpreter shouted loudly in Spanish! Wrong! Wrong! We are not enemies! But the opponent's attack did not weaken at all, but became more violent! Mavi's voice seemed to come from deep underground, and I could hear goosebumps behind it.

"In the end, our ship was captured! These bandits! They rushed up, snatched all the goods, and shot everyone who was still alive with two shots! Including me! Mavi's voice lowered: "My father jumped into the sea with me, took advantage of the cover of the wind and waves, and swam desperately to the shore with a piece of wood!" Finally ......"

He covered his face, and I saw two drops of crystal slip down. "Finally, we swam to the shore and I was shot a few times, as was my father. It's just that he tried his last bit of strength to save me, and he died not long after he came up. Before he died, he said to me, "Mavi, take care of your sister." Also, tell Ninian that my love for her is real! ”

For a moment, the surrounding air froze. Love, is it really that great?

Mavi put down his hand and said with a wry smile: "My life is very big, I was discovered by Mr. Quunk, the owner of this restaurant where I used to work, he dragged me back to the store from the beach, and called a doctor to come and save me. When I got better, I had nowhere else to go, so I stayed in his shop and helped him run it. Unfortunately, around this time last year, Mr. Quink died of tuberculosis. He had no relatives, so I inherited his shop. ”

I snorted, not knowing what to say, the fate of this child was too much to tell.

Mavi suddenly asked, "Captain, you don't think my life is bad, and you don't want to take me on the ship!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, to be honest, I really had this idea for a moment, but soon I smiled and said, "Young man, I empathize with what happened to you. If I can, I hope to help you – just as I was when I was helped! ”

As I said this, the sound of wind and rain in the port of Yokohama rang in my ears, and that night was just as bleak and cold as that night. I want to help this child, my heart is crying.

Mavi gave me a blank look, tears welling up in her eyes again. He silently wiped his tears and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Yes! Yes! Thank you! Captain! ”

I don't know why, but from him, I seem to see my own shadow of the previous year. I let out a long sigh.

Mavi calmed down and continued, "Later, I inquired in many ways before I found out the truth of the matter. The Santa Marta fleet was not in the South Seas at all, but in the vicinity of Havana in the New World to exterminate pirates! It was none other than the fleet of Simon Kuhn, the younger brother of Mars Kun, the president of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, who attacked our fleet! ”

Without waiting for me to answer, he hurriedly continued: "It was they, disguised as the Spanish fleet, who attacked us under the cover of the storm, and made me alone from now on!" It was also he who attacked Maggie's kingdom and captured Maggie! It was he who personally gave Maggie to the Governor of Jakarta! ”

Mavi's face was extremely distorted at this moment! He "swished" out two scimitars from his waist and slammed them into the ground, almost roaring: "I want revenge!" I won't run away anymore! I'm going to uproot the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce! ”

After a long time, I sighed again and said, "Tell me about your plans, Mavi. I do...... Well, I mean, if we happen to have the same goal, I'd like to help you do it! ”

Mavi's eyes are burning! Because he found the possibility of revenge, his heart jumped violently again! After a long time, Ma Wei calmed down and said with a wry smile: "Captain, after all, I grew up in a royal family, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. I know that there is no help in this world for no reason, and help from mercy will not last! ”

I snorted, and said in my heart that this young man is really good, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he is sensible. So he asked softly, "So, what price can you pay?" ”

Mavi smiled bitterly, and continued, "Captain, so-called cook, this is a joke at all - because it is too humble. However, I can pay the deposit first! ”

I smiled slightly and said calmly, "Oh! Tell me about it! ”

Mavi nodded, glanced left and right, and saw that it was all my henchmen, so he lowered his voice and said, "In my hometown, Panai Island!" Underneath the ruins of the Panai Kingdom, there is a ruin. It's said that there's something precious in it, I mean, something extremely precious! ”

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?" Stele? Or is it a sculpture? ”

Mavi smiled and heard my teasing, and he continued, "You're right! It's a stone carving! But it's not an ordinary stone carving! ”

I smiled and said, "So, what's the magic of this stone carving?" ”

Ma Wei Zhengse said: "That's the secret of our royal family. It is said that this stone sculpture came from Spain and was given to Italian navigators by Queen Isabella of Spain. It can effectively boost morale at sea, as long as the captain sincerely prays to it, the sailors on board will be inspired to become brave! ”

I let out an intrigued sigh and asked, "You mean, the bow of the ship?" ”

Mavi nodded, "Yes, the ship's bow statue!" According to my father, the kingdom on the next island once came to invade us, and at the critical moment, my father relied on the encouragement of the stone statue of the governor, and the remaining 500 warriors all went berserk, defeated the invading 3,000 strong enemies in one fell swoop, and recovered the lost territory without taking prisoners! ”

There were no prisoners...... I was silent. It seems like I've done something like this too. But I was very interested in this stone statue.

Mavi continued, "Later, my father sealed it underground because he thought it was too murderous. But not long after, we encountered a tsunami...... Later, there were all kinds of encounters, so it is today......"

I sighed and continued, "Okay, I'm interested in this thing. You just said two deposits, what is the other one? ”

Mavi lowered his head, poked his finger at the chart that had just been drawn above the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Here, in Mindanao, there is a secret stronghold of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce!" Whether they're attacking us, or attacking my sister—and the future Blade Sea, they're all starting from here!" So, I'm willing to take you and the fleet and take this place - uproot! ”
