Chapter 199: A New Ship
After some deliberation, the men decided that Pubal would go to the south beach to find Klaz and bring a boat to bring them both aboard, if the rescue boat had arrived. In order to win the trust of the goblins, the Minotaur Princess brought Guan Haifa and, of course, Diego's pistol.
In order to keep Pobal safe, Diago gave her fifty rounds of pistol ammunition. Unless there is a big rebellion of wild beasts on the island, these ammunition will be enough for her to defend herself, not to mention, there is also a matter of Haifa to follow.
The Minotaur princess left the next morning, and walking alone at night was not a good choice for a girl.
Watching her fade away, Diego suddenly felt a little idle - although he had been treated, the rib injury was still not suitable for strenuous exercise. Broken bones are injuries that are more difficult to recover from than flesh wounds, and Masrae is even more miserable than him, almost unable to get up.
He paced to the side of the beast and took a closer look.
They hadn't cut the beast's flesh to roast it last night - they weren't trolls, and eating the flesh of these intelligent primates always made him a little uncomfortable.
By the end of the night, the blood had solidified on the corpse, which had attracted many flies and insects, which were buzzing and flying over Roshan like a dark cloud. Due to the hot weather in the south, many eggs had hatched on the corpses, and the granulations of the white flowers writhed on the wounds, which was disgusting.
Diego picked a bullet hole and cut the wound wider, I don't know if it was because he was dead, Mukla's skin was no longer tough and not so difficult to cut. However, Diego was disappointed by the results of his inspection, as he found that Mukla's skin was not suitable for leather armor. The only reason why this skin is strong and tough is because of its thickness—almost three inches thick, but the three-inch thick armor is too clumsy for the strongest warriors, and it is better to wear metal armor than to have this strength.
"Diego. I think we'll have to move somewhere else. At that moment, Masrae suddenly said in a deep voice.
Diego looked up and followed the Night Elf's line of sight, seeing the grass swaying at the edge of the jungle. After a while, several monitor lizards came out.
Diego wasn't surprised by the presence of these scavengers, and to be honest, it was quite unexpected that they could endure until this time. It seems that Mukla was not an ordinary domineering man on this island during his lifetime.
Not only monitor lizards, but Diego also saw many vultures hovering in the sky overhead, ready to land and join in the feast.
"Alright, let's go." Diego lifted Masrae from the ground, and the two of them walked slowly and with difficulty. Neither monitor lizards nor vultures are of little hunting value, especially monitor lizards, which are scavenging reptiles that contain countless parasites and germs, both in their outer skin and in their bodies. It is not suitable for consumption or to make zuò leather armor. Of course, the more important reason was that if they swarmed up, he didn't think they would be able to beat this group of uninvited villains.
However, the monitor lizards only saw the whole mountain of Roshan, and did not notice their departure, and almost a moment after they left, the monitor lizards rushed to the corpse, tore open the wound, and began to feast, and one of the monitor lizards even stuck its head into the corpse. Tearing up the internal organs, the two of them looked creepy.
This seaside feast lasted for a whole day, and tons of animal meat were divided, leaving only a white skeleton of a terrible man standing on the beach. A monitor lizard that didn't make it to the main meal is not over. Tried to swallow two bystanders into his stomach, but in front of the death gaze, he could only lose his life. However, for its greedy and murderous counterparts, they don't mind a little dessert after a big meal. It didn't take long for its body to be completely gone, this time. Not even a bone remained. And this clean kill also taught the monitor lizards a profound lesson, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
It was not only these greedy scavengers who were a headache, but even the heavens were not beautiful, and the next afternoon, the sky was drizzling. Diego had no choice but to find a small dirt slope near the jungle that was not prone to water accumulation, cut down some large leaves that resembled plantain leaves, built a shed, and placed the more seriously injured Masrae in it. He didn't dare to set up his tent, because the view inside the tent was so narrow that none of them could escape if a wild beast attacked.
As night fell, Diego watched the jungle with his musket in his arms and watched warily at the approach. To be honest, it was cold and rainy, and the danger was everywhere, and this night was really bleak.
However, the next morning, as the sky grew brighter, a brig of clippers turned over the reef and appeared in his field of vision, his mood suddenly became cheerful. For he saw a tall minotaur girl standing in the middle of a group of low goblins on the bow deck, waving to the shore and shouting loudly. Even if he couldn't hear what she was shouting, he could feel the girl's excitement and excitement.
"Hey, you've surprised me, Diego! It's unbelievable that you've saved a princess! When Kraz came to shore with a few goblin sailors and rowed a dinghy, he rushed to Diego and gave him a hard hug, his face full of envy and hatred, "This story is enough to be made up by the bards and sung in the taverns of Azeroth for a few years, and to be honest, you should have called me in the first place!" ”
"I remember we called you," Masrae leaned against a reef and did not hesitate to expose his hypocrisy, "but you didn't come. ”
"This ......, who knew that you were going to save the princess, you should have told me sooner," said the goblin cheekily, "but there is no use in not coming, otherwise we will miss this ship." ”
Diego did not dwell on this issue, and in other words, Kraz's decision cannot be considered wrong, but everyone looks at the problem from a different starting point. He took a few steps to the sea and looked at the clipper.
"Wow, your ship is new." He exclaimed.
"No, it's your ship, Mr. Diego." "It's only been a few days since it was launched, but it was requisitioned by the rich man Mr. Rivigaz in order to fight piracy," said Kraz flatteringly, looking like a magpie of the Annunciation, with a smile on his face. ”
"Wow, what a surprise!" Diego was taken aback, and then he remembered that he had an order in the dockyard in Treasure Bay. However, requisition? How long does it take? He looked at the goblin captain suspiciously, seeking answers.
"Don't worry, when this battle with the Bloodsail Pirates is over, this ship will still be yours." Kraz hastened to explain, but it seemed that even he didn't believe that the ship would still be intact by then.
"I sincerely hope that we will win this battle." Diego said heartily. Because he didn't know if Rivigaz would compensate him if the ship was sunk, but with the stinginess of the goblins, I am afraid it would be enough.
"Well, it's time to get on board, we need to rendezvous with the Flying Osprey." Kraz exclaimed, and he came to Masrae's side, carefully picked him up, and walked towards the dinghy.
"Flying Osprey? Wasn't it sunk? Diego noticed that things were a little different from what he had thought, and quickly asked.
"No, at the end of the night, it was so badly damaged that it had to break away from the battle and return to Treasure Bay to rest, and this new ship came out with it." Kratz explained.
"So, we're not alone?" Diego's sudden realization that his possessions might be better preserved made him feel much better, and even Kraz's ugly face didn't look so annoying.
"Of course, sir, let's catch up and teach those ** pirates an unforgettable lesson!" Kraz shouted at the top of his voice.
Behind him, the goblin sailors cheered loudly, and under the morning sun that had just jumped out of the sea, the sailors shook their oars vigorously, and sang the sailor's song with a strange rhythm in the goblin duck's characteristic male duck voice.
"We're stupid standing in front of the chest wall, yo ho ho! Grapeblates are shot from the opposite side, yo ho ho ho! There's a big piece on the deck, yo ho ho! Jack feels lucky, yo ho ho! Because he's just missing an eye, yo ho ho! ”
In the midst of this cheerful singing, Diego suddenly felt that his luck did not seem to be so bad. (To be continued.) )
