Chapter 57: The Captain and the Captain
Mu Yan recited a total of 10 names that were at least considered to be on SR, and the character and ability of these people were reflected when they were young, and a total of 7 of them were present, and this harvest was much better than he expected.
Freelancers have always had a few spontaneous small groups, as well as a variety of aliases, nicknames. For example, William Turner in the team is called "Prince", Gibbs, who is almost forty, is called "Red Turban", and so on.
Throughout the nearly 100 years of free sailors in Esola Bay, the most famous of them is David Jones, the illegitimate son who was kicked out by the Jones family fifty years ago. He was revered by the sailors as the "Uncrowned King", in recognition of his heroic deeds in the fight against pirates and sea people.
Legend has it that as long as David raises his arms, he can pull up an army of nearly 10,000 young and middle-aged sailors in Esola Bay, and if they are given sophisticated equipment and ships, they can even face the elite of the eye of the storm!
Of course, the characters who live in legends are always a little distorted, and it is human nature to be thick and thin, not to mention this kind of person who does not even have the following. Mu Yan once thought that this would appear in the follow-up story as a legendary NPC, and even in the player's great voyage, but unfortunately he didn't hear similar news until he closed the server.
If there is such a person in Esola Bay in the year 778 of the Faith Calendar, it would be very simple, as long as Mu Yan finds him, gives him a sum of money, a sky-high contract and a ship, this buddy can handle everything and send him to the Seven Seas in peace.
Now, including Rorschach, he has a total of eight people under his command, and he gives them the right to recruit, telling them that this is a test of vision and management skills, and let them use their prestige and experience to select suitable sailors, and he himself sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, called overseer, which is really lazy.
Several people were ordered to be in danger, and they naturally trembled, coupled with Mu Yan's previous appearance of being extremely clear about the market, coupled with the mysterious nature of the mage, it naturally shocked these guys. So in order to meet the boss's expectations, and at the same time for his own life, the recruitment process was extremely rigorous and serious.
After all, the prestige of several people is not low, and a shout can make the sailors obediently line up, and it is not difficult for them to know at a glance who has the ability and who is the bastard among the free sailors.
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Mu Yan finally freed his hand and dragged Rorschach aside.
"Commander......"
"No, I should call you Captain now." Rorschach smiled bitterly, and didn't seem to complain about Mu Yan's farewell.
However, the latter was a little reluctant to go.
"How did you get here? And...... Your last name......"
"It's true. Prussia, I am a descendant of General Dalin. "And the Prussians never gave up their nobility, even if they were poor, they taught me like a general." β
"No wonder your temperament is not ordinary...... Mu Yan nodded, and the previous mysteries have also been explained.
"But why are you in Chablis? It's not far from the coast......"
Rorschach's expression froze, "You're wondering if I'm a qualified sailor, right?" In fact, I did grow up by the sea, and at the age of 16 I hid my identity to join the army, and served in the navy for two years, and finally I was found to have falsified my identity. If it weren't for my boss's protection, I might not have gone to Morningstar to be a mercenary, but I would have been hanged. So I'm definitely a good sailor, and although I don't have more experience than a few of them, I'm ...... You should be able to rest assured, right? β
Mu Yan smiled, how could he have doubts about Rorschach's strength......
"That'...... What about the rest of the group? β
He couldn't help but ask.
Rorschach pondered for a moment, but replied with a wry smile: "Since you still remember me as the head of the regiment...... Everyone is fine, but after the night of Sweetheart Manor, most of them guessed that your identity was unusual, so they inevitably had some thoughts in their hearts. RΓΆm and the others have always recognized Reg as their big brother, blaming you for not saving him and Eden...... Farol scolded them for being thicker than the pickpockets in the dark alley, and they kept arguing, and I was annoyed when I heard it, so I simply disbanded the team. β
"Huh? Disband? β
"Yes, it's disbanded, I'm a little tired...... But don't worry, a few of them went to the Grand Duke to serve as guards. The Duke spends his wealth to avoid disasters, but Sweetheart Manor is very short of manpower. In addition, the team has also liked a lot of money over the years, and they have at least ...... in the second half of their lives Nevila and Erin went to Falan City, seemingly trying to find you. As for Farol...... She said she wanted to come with me, but I refused. β
"Why?" Mu Yan was puzzled, he thought that the two of them were married......
"Because I can't protect her, I'm not a man, I can't even be responsible for her, I can't let our future children bear the guilty surname of Prussia, the unjust name of their ancestors......," Dalin gritted his teeth, "I ...... I want to return to Turing and clear my name for Prussia with my own ability......"
"General Dai Lin, ......" Mu Yan was silent for a long time before he sighed: "That's really wrong...... Did she also leave the scar on your face? β
Rorschach pursed her lips, "The 'gift' she left for me, she said she would wait for me back in Chablis." β
"Okay......" Mu Yan patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry for hiding it from you last time, but this time I promise not to lie again." β
Rorschach couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your storage items are comparable to a sea beast-class ship, I can't imagine what your true identity is if you are lying at this time...... Could it be Mia's parent? β
"Haha......" Mu Yan laughed dryly.
β¦β¦
The recruitment activity lasted from noon until it was almost dark, and when the sky darkened, Mu Yan threw out ten dazzling light sources, suspended in the air, and the dock suddenly became as bright as day.
In the end, the recruitment of sailors, which was more exaggerated than the draft audition, came to an end, and seven reliable sailors recruited a total of 411 reliable sailors for him, including cooks, carpenters, blacksmiths, sailors, helmsmen and other talents.
Among them, the most noteworthy is the captain "Blackbeard" Barbossa, who was jointly recommended by seven people, and Mu Yan couldn't help but wonder if the other party would rob his boat halfway.
Captain Barbossa is fifty-five years old and has spent most of his life floating on the sea.
He was probably the only one of the free sailors to have ever captained a walrus-class ship, and it was during a trip to the Turing Chamber of Commerce, and their original captain was unable to travel due to dysentery, so he promoted Blackbeard, who also did a great job.
After that, the Turing Chamber of Commerce recruited him, but he seemed unaccustomed to the rules of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, or could not tolerate the intricacies of human relationships, and stayed for a year before returning to being a freelancer.
"Kudos to you for your generosity, boss." Blackbeard has a pair of strong hands, and when the two shake hands, he deliberately forces, as if he is testing the strength of his boss.
Unfortunately, the legendary mage has 10,000 ways to protect these hands.
Mu Yan's fingers were like butter, and he easily pulled them out of the clamp like an iron hoop, and patted him on the shoulder.
"You deserve it, my captain."
Barbossa's eyes lit up, "I hope so." β
