Chapter 35: Ink
Hearing Sox's words, the old captain laughed and said: "Mr. Sox is so kind-hearted, but our White Rose has always been an honest businessman. “
Some of the sailors on deck prepared ropes, while others picked up their guns and prepared for them.
Anything strange can happen at sea, if the boat belongs to a hapless man who has fallen into a shipwreck, and if it is a pirate or a villain who has broken the rules and has been exiled, then you have to be careful.
Many of the pirates are vicious thugs, and among the pirates, they can break the rules and not be killed, but are exiled at sea in small boats, and they are likely to be thugs among the mobs, and they generally have extremely strong strength.
A big ship like the White Rose is incredibly rich in itself, and it is easy to arouse people's greed.
So be careful, in case that guy is an exiled pirate, then beware that he is a powerful person.
The speed of the White Rose gradually slowed down, and on the sea hundreds of meters ahead, there was indeed a small boat that was about less than three meters.
But what is surprising is that half of the ship has been blocked by ice floe, and it is blowing in the direction of Shangji Island with the sea breeze.
The old captain, whose hair and beard had turned gray, looked into the distance, and he frowned: "It's not winter either, the ship will freeze, this boat is weird!" ”
Sox's face changed slightly as he listened.
Half of the ice-covered boat is floating on the sea in this spring, which is indeed a very strange thing, and it is not okay to be careful.
Boatswain Tom stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the top of his head, and said coldly: "Artillery and whale forks are ready, if there is any oddity, then shoot him!" ”
The rapid brass bells rang from the ship's cabin, signaling that the White Rose's guns and whale forks were all ready.
The big boat was already slowly approaching the ice floe, which was four or five meters in circumference, and half of the hull of the small boat was frozen in the ice floe.
The exposed cabin was empty, and through the translucent ice, it was possible to see a black mass of black stuff on the half of the boat that was frozen in the ice.
"There's a man inside!" Some sailors cried out in horror.
As soon as the cry came out, the ice floe suddenly cracked through countless cracks, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound, the ice floe that trapped the boat collapsed, and the entire boat was completely exposed in front of everyone.
On the bow of the ship, curled up in a ball, was a man dressed in a black rich brocade robe with long dark hair, and his appearance was even more typical of Beihai people.
Everyone on the deck gasped at the same time, how could a Beihai man drift in the East China Sea alone on a boat, and it was still in the ice? Looking at the appearance of him covered in ice slag, he couldn't have been punished by some powerful person to freeze to death, right?
The old captain sighed lightly, and he shook his head, "What a poor man, go and a few people carry him up." When he arrived at Xiangji Island, he was handed over to the federal government, and judging by his clothes, he might be a child of a big family in Beihai. ”
Just now, the old captain's gaze swept over the hair of the Beihai man, and there was a bun on his head, on which there was a golden crown of pure gold, and around the golden crown was inlaid with a circle of rubies as red as blood, which was extremely luxurious!
If it was a normal time, the old captain might have picked up all the valuable things on this man's body and swallowed them privately.
But now that there are so many passengers watching, for the sake of the image of the White Rose, the old captain can only be a good man.
The two sailors just disembarked along the rope, and the man curled up in a ball on the sea suddenly moved, he slowly stood up, and slowly raised his head to look at Sox and the others dozens of meters away.
It was a young man about the same height as Sox, with black hair and black eyes, and was extraordinarily handsome.
Even after suffering from the ice for an unknown amount of time, his face was not blue or black, but as white as a girl.
It's just that his messy clothes make him look a little embarrassed, but he still can't hide the noble son atmosphere of the Beihai family on his body.
Sox and the others stood on the high bow of the boat, and the young man stood on the low sampan, but everyone had the feeling that everyone was looking up at him, not at the big ship.
Shaking his head vigorously, throwing away the strange feeling in his heart, the old captain tilted his mouth and asked the young man in the North Sea, "Young man, do you want to take a ride?" ”
The man's body shook slightly, and suddenly a hazy frost afterimage appeared, and when his figure reappeared, he was already standing on the bow of the White Rose.
There were no people on the deck who were so capable, including the most powerful old captain with close to third-order strength, who really saw the true figure of this Beihai native.
The deck was several stories high from the sea, and the boat was more than ten meters away from this side, and everyone just saw a frost trail passing by, and the man stood in front of everyone.
A blue hazy halo slowly spread from the man's eyebrows to the surroundings of his body, and the messy clothes on his body suddenly became straight, and the ice slag sticking to the luxurious black brocade fell one after another, becoming like new.
Just now, he was a little embarrassed and depressed, but at this moment, this man is clean and tidy, like a noble son who has just bathed and changed clothes.
The sailors on board, including all the passengers, were suddenly on the verge of a great enemy.
I thought that the other party was at most an ordinary ability, but now everyone found that they couldn't see through the strength level of the man in front of them at all, the third-order top? Or is it the fourth order? Or even a fifth-order powerhouse?
However, the old captain of the White Rose directly pressed Tom's broadsword, trying not to release a little malice.
Just kidding, as an ability with second-order top-level strength, the old captain couldn't feel the strength of the young man in front of him at all, so this young man was not a second-order or third-order ability at all, at least a fourth-order ability!
Cangtian, why did the fourth-order powerhouse freeze himself and float in this sea area with the small wooden boat!
The old captain had a headache, and he couldn't understand what kind of strange temper the other party was, if he was really an extreme weirdo, maybe a boatload of people would suffer today.
He sorted out his thoughts, then stepped forward and said in broken Beihai language: "May I ask your surname?" We have no ill intentions, Xianjun is on board, my original intention was just to help you get on the ship. ”
The man dressed in black picked up his long eyebrows, which looked like two long swords plunging straight into his sideburns, and said in a lazy voice: "The contemptible single name has an ink character, and there is no malicious intent, can you put down the big knife first." ”
