Chapter 17: Temporary Navigators
Galen, who had just given his speech on justice, could no longer be cheeky enough to ask Wallace to rewrite a check, although Miss Nami strongly agreed.
Galen had no choice but to concentrate on the "first pot of gold" he had already grabbed in his hands...
Galen really has no experience in dealing with this thing.
Fortunately, the well-informed and well-informed middle-aged sheriff provided Galen with a small help.
A moment later...
Galen looked at the delicate box in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
This box was specially prepared for Galen by the middle-aged sheriff:
The whole body of this box is made of natural anticorrosive material Pinus sylvestris, with a water-draining sealing rubber ring, lined with a lime base and sea salt coating.
It was nothing else, it was Captain Steelsword's 10 million Bailey's head.
It's also strange to say...
Galen, the fierce and vicious living man, was not afraid, but after the other party was in a box, he had a strange feeling that sent chills down his spine.
At this point, Miss Nami's performance is better than Galen's.
Nami's eyes were completely nailed to the box containing the human head, and the number symbol of 10 million Bailey kept popping up in her mind.
She had almost forgotten that it contained a hideous-looking human head.
"So..."
Galen quietly received his "first pot of gold in his life" behind him, and sighed to himself:
"Next stop, it's Rogue Town."
Wallace hurriedly stepped forward and said in a gentle and gentle tone:
"Coincidentally, I also have to go back to the Donghai Daily news office in Rogue Town to report on my work."
Without saying a word, the polite reporter couldn't help but get excited:
"I hope the knight will allow me to walk with you!"
"Absolutely."
As a rookie player who has just left the novice village, having a local NPC to lead the way is naturally a treatment that cannot be sought.
So Galen agreed to Wallace's request without hesitation.
Then, Galen looked thoughtfully at Nami, who was still looking at "Ten Million Bailey":
"Nami, what about you?"
"Where are you going?"
Nami blurted out, "Wherever you go, I'll go!" β
It is true, but it is incomplete.
To be exact, Nami's words should be "I will go where your money goes".
Nami's thirst for money is incomparably strong...
She couldn't steal Galen's big flying sword or the armor she wore on her body, but when the time came, she could easily get the 10 million cash she had exchanged for her head.
Although she felt a little sorry for the tin can in front of her, Nami decided to ask the kind knight to help her helpless girl more.
And Galen, who was familiar with Nami's nature, also instantly understood the inner meaning of this sentence.
He knows Nami's obsession with money, and he knows why she's so eager to collect money now...
So Galen did not speak, but fell into a kind of contemplation that others could not read.
But Wallace would have been mistaken.
He silently took out his notebook, on which he recorded the clichΓ© plot of "The Righteous Knight Hero Saves the Beauty, and the Beautiful Girl's Heart Sprouts", which enriched an emotional line for the press release of the large-scale special report of "Knight Galen".
Wallace's eyes flashed with gossip as he looked at Galen and Nami.
"Ahem..."
Miss Nami, who reacted, replied insincerely:
"I'm worried that you don't have a navigator to lead the way, and it's easy for you to get lost at sea."
Wallace subconsciously retorted:
"Rogue isn't a backcountry, we can just take a passenger boat to get there."
"Humph!"
Nami snorted angrily, and then clasped her hands to her chest and said imposingly:
"How can a passenger ship come as fast as it rides by itself?"
"I'm a genius navigator who knows the hydrology and astronomy of every route in the East China Sea, and I can save at least two days of sailing with me!"
"Alright, alright..."
Galen, who had been pondering, suddenly woke up, waved his hand again and smiled:
"You navigator, I hired you."
"Hire?"
Nami chewed on the banknote-scented word, and her tone was suddenly much warmer:
"How much do you get paid? 500W Bailey? β
"One hundred thousand Baileys, no more."
Galen replied very seriously:
"Besides, it's not so easy for you to steal my 10 million Baileys..."
"You!"
Nami was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her pink cheeks were choked back by her.
The big tin can in front of me is not easy to fool.
"Steal?"
Wallace was suddenly startled, and his eyes when he looked at Nami suddenly became wary: "Is Miss Nami actually a thief?" β
"What?!"
Nami confessed in a broken way:
"I'm a thief! A thief who almost stole your knight-sama into a pauper! β
"That's what happened..."
Wallace's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"I didn't expect Lord Galen's character to be so noble!"
"Even if the other party is a thief who met in Pingshui, he does not hesitate to risk his life to save people..."
"The light that has never been there illuminates the gloomy life of the lost girl..."
After making up for it, Wallace picked up the pen and wrote and drew in a small notebook, enriching the simple plot of "The Righteous Knight Hero Saves Beauty, and the Beautiful Girl's Heart Sprouts" that he just wrote down into "The Righteous Knight repays his grievances with virtue, and the beautiful thief abandons the darkness and turns to the light".
"Hey, hey!"
Nami pulled up her short orange hair in shame and said angrily:
"What the hell are you writing nonsense!"
"Stop!"
Wallace didn't bother to raise his eyelids, but continued to concentrate on the small notebook:
"I'm sorry."
"There's nothing in the world that can stop a journalist's pen."
β......β
Miss Nami, who has been frustrated one after another, wants to hit people with her fist that is attached to the invisible domineering.
"Alright..."
Galen stood up again as a peacemaker, and said to Nami again:
"Although I give you less money, I can give you another kind of reward."
"Another kind of pay?"
Nami was a little confused.
Galen raised the broad sword in his hand and said:
"Friendship, the friendship of a righteous knight."
"What do you mean?"
Nami's mind moved, but she continued to ask.
"I can help you cut people."
Galen said it very bluntly this time, and there was some extraneous sound between his words:
"For example, cut down the bad guys you can't deal with and want to cut them down."
"You..."
Nami's eyes suddenly deepened, and she looked at Galen in silence for a long time.
After a moment of silence, Nami covered her mouth and chuckled:
"No kidding..."
"I don't have any enemies with whom I don't share the sky."
"I'm just making an analogy."
Galen had a casual smile on his face, but his eyes were full of determination:
"But..."
"If such a person really exists, I will let him be punished as he deserves."
Once again, the two fell into an eerie silence.
"You can't."
Nami suddenly showed a slightly mocking expression of helplessness, and reached out again and patted Galen's cold breastplate:
"Although your abilities are a little strange, you are only on par with the characters of Steel Knife."
"Say something to help me cut people, don't be too self-righteous..."
Ah Long's strength cannot be judged by the apparent reward amount of 20 million. The power he possesses is far stronger than this number, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hidden overlord of the East China Sea.
And those terrifying fish-men have completely become Nami's memories of a nightmare that she can't resist.
"Then let's owe it first!"
Galen smiled indifferently:
"You can follow me first and see if I can pay this pay!"
Galen's smile was full of a different kind of confidence:
"And, don't underestimate me too much."
"I'm going to progress a lot faster than you think."
"Cut..."
Nami snorted disdainfully.
But somehow, just like when she was just kidnapped by the steel knife, Nami inexplicably had a little more light and hope in her heart that she hadn't seen for a long time:
Maybe the so-called knight in front of her can really save her.
Eventually, a hand as white as jade slowly reached in front of Galen.
Galen playfully shook Nami's outstretched hand, and said with a smile:
"Then please advise, my navigator!"
"It's just a temporary worker."
"When you get to Rogue Town, you better be careful about your 10 million Bailey!"
Nami said this, but the strength of her palms was not small at all.
"Haha..."
Galen smiled indifferently, and suddenly shouted out in a somewhat spirited voice:
"Then I, let's go!"
"Target, Rogue Town!"
"Wait!"
A somewhat familiar middle-aged male voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Don't rush to go, knight!"
"Huh?"
Galen suddenly looked back and saw a face full of grief and indignation...
Restaurant duty manager.
"All the money for chasing food is here?"
Galen, who was eating the Overlord meal for the first time, was very embarrassed by this.
"Nope! It's not a question of the cost of food..."
The restaurant manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly:
"It's your mount!"
"It's, it's..."
"It took all the other guests' horses..."
