Chapter 03: It's Settled
The notice read: Elizabeth Swan, daughter of the Governor, was to recruit an escort of 20 shillings a week, including food and lodging. Requirements: good looks, decent etiquette, superb swordsmanship.
No wonder there are so many people around, it turns out that there is a good job, and the shilling in this era is still quite valuable, equivalent to a white-collar job.
As for the accompanying guards or something, sometimes they have to work part-time as a coachman, and if they are lucky, they can be elected to the governor's palace and become a retainer.
Elizabeth was the daughter of the British Royal Governor, but she ended up being a pirate with Captain Jack.
With her bravery, her strength, her passion, and her persistence, she eventually became the pirate king.
To put it simply, she is a woman who is full of adventure factors in her bones.
Although Ye Kai's height is about 1.8 meters, he is inconspicuous here, and many people look much taller and more powerful than him, even if he looks at his appearance, the handsome guy standing next to him is also so much stronger than him.
Ye Kai and the handsome guy beside him whispered at the same time: "This job, I'm going to decide!" ”
The two turned around and walked towards the recruitment position, followed by a few strong men.
However, the two don't care about others at all, they only care about each other, because if you look at the looks here, the other party is the most competitive.
Etiquette or anything can't be compared, but if you have superb swordsmanship, you have to see the real chapter under your hands.
"Hey, boy, look at your yellow face and thin muscles, haven't you eaten enough?"
The handsome guy tightened the sword in his hand and glanced at Ye Kai defiantly.
Ye Kai sneered and said indifferently: "Even if you don't have enough to eat, it's enough to deal with a three-legged cat like you." ”
The two sneered as they arrived at the place where they had registered.
Governor Swan lived in a three-story bungalow, which was palatial.
The registration office was a clerk at the gate, and there was a cleared field behind it, and a group of people gathered around the field, and two white men were competing in it.
Governor Swan sat a leisurely look not far away, surrounded by a group of elite British royal soldiers.
When I arrived at the registration office, Ye Kai knew the name of the handsome guy: Will Turner.
, no wonder it looks a little familiar, it turned out to be an important supporting role in the first three parts, or the second protagonist.
Brave, upright, kind, affectionate, sometimes a little reckless, loyal to love, single-minded.
Captain Jack is drawn into one pirate adventure after another. In the third part, in order to achieve his own goals, Will becomes the pirate he hates the most in the first part.
His swordsmanship is much better than that of Captain Jack, and he is a fierce opponent.
But now it doesn't matter if he's the protagonist or not, filling your stomach is more important than anything else.
When it was time for Ye Kai to sign up, the clerk glanced at Ye Kai in surprise and said, "Orientals? ”
Ye Kai nodded lightly and said, "The traveler of the East, a swordsman." ”
The clerk frowned, and then stretched out again, although the young traveler looked sixteen or seventeen years old, he was already a little tired of seeing it with all big men and handsome guys before.
wrote Ye Kai's name and said with a smile: "Go to the queue, magical Oriental, good luck." ”
Ye Kai bowed slightly and said indifferently: "Thank you." ”
After saying that, I went to the front and waited.
This time the fight is a battle in the ring, and after winning the champion, he will hold out until the end, and the governor doesn't care what these martial artists do, what he wants is the result.
"Hit, hit! Hard! ”
"Kill him boy!"
"Let him see how good you are!"
The crowd below has been shouting, whether it is the champion who has exhausted his strength or the challenger who wins the champion, it is good for them, as long as they go up and pick up the bargain.
The governor on the side took a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said to the waiter beside him: "It seems that today is going to be in vain, and all the thugs in the tavern are coming." ”
The waiter bowed slightly and smiled: "There are still a few that can be seen, the blonde young man who just joined, a black-haired Oriental boy, and a down-and-out aristocratic retainer." ”
The Doge glanced at the three, Wiltner, the blacksmith's apprentice. A down-and-out aristocratic retainer? This is good, it is said that his swordsmanship has always been very good, but his master fired him because he was too down. As for the mysterious Oriental teenager...... I'm too young, and I guess I can't hold the sword steadily.
Finally, it was Will's turn, and he slowly stepped into the ring, taking out the sword he had built for himself and the most suitable for himself.
It was an unpretentious-looking Western sword, forged from stainless steel, without frills, but it was a good killing weapon.
Will himself is an excellent blacksmith, so he naturally knows what kind of sword he needs.
The two of them saluted a little and fought together, that dragon set Khan was not Will's opponent at all, and he was defeated in three or five rounds, and the master and the mediocre hand were clear at a glance.
"Next, Oriental: Ye Kai."
Ye Kai walked up quietly and pulled out the katana in his hand.
Everyone who was still a little curious about Ye Kai, a young man, all showed mocking smiles one by one.
"Hey, I'm not mistaken, this kid looks like a kid."
"Let's go home and nurse."
"The knives used are rusty, and you are embarrassed to come to the Governor's Palace?"
"That's it, go back, your mother is waiting for you."
The Governor also frowned slightly and shook his head.
The knives were all rusty, and they were much worse than Will, not to mention the nobleman's retainer he was optimistic about.
Will's pace is steady, his sword is also carefully chosen, and his speed and strength are good.
But what about this Oriental boy? The footsteps were a little vain, as if he hadn't eaten, how could that young face look less than eighteen years old, younger than his daughters, how could such a person be a guard?
As for the question of strength, he has ignored it.
He was about the same height as Will, but he was much worse than the others in terms of physique.
Will steadily showed his Western sword and said in a deep voice, "Hey, boy, this job is important to me. ”
Ye Kai's right hand stretched forward, and the katana was like a straight line, as steady as Mount Tai.
At this moment, his momentum changed, and he was no longer the somewhat weak young man, but like a leopard hunting, ready to crush his opponent at any time.
I saw him say softly: "This job is more important to me, you can honestly lose to me!" ”
Will frowned slightly when he saw Ye Kai's posture, the layman looked at the excitement, and the insider looked at the doorway, his solid foundation in raising the sword was not comparable to the people below.
However, swordsmanship is more important for eyesight and speed, and he is confident that he will not lose to others.
Sou.
Will took a steady step and rushed towards Ye Kai with a stabbing move.
Ye Kai smiled slightly, slashing the body with a knife and slashing the soul with his heart.
Let me show you what a ghost swordsman is!
