Chapter 23: Captain's Office Conspiracy

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Batu, who you beat up in the morning, is the biological brother of the first mate Barth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Captain Redbeard smiled slyly.

"What? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Xu Feng felt that things really didn't seem to be good.

"Of course, it will be such a coincidence, I remember very well that Batu is not only Balthe's own brother, but also his only relative in the world. And you injured Batu so badly today, I guess as an elder brother will definitely not let you go easily. Then your future situation on this pirate ship will be self-evident. Redbeard poured himself a full bottle of wine again, and then continued to pretend to be a nobleman, taking a small sip of it, and continued, "The best-case scenario is that Battle breaks your legs and throws you out into the sea to feed the sharks. The worst outcome is to hang you on a mast and die in the sun to increase his influence. ā€

Xu Feng thought about what Redbeard said, and his body couldn't help but shudder, it was too cruel for his sister! But he believed that the feminine-looking blonde first mate would be able to do it, there was no reason, it was just Xu Feng's intuition about him.

Captain Redbeard seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Feng's physical performance, and said his true intentions, "Of course, as a great pirate captain with excellent moral character and noble consciousness, how can I bear to be treated so cruelly by my crew?" As long as you listen to me in the future, I will try my best to protect you! ā€

Xu Feng didn't speak, he was now thinking in his heart not of who to follow, but how to escape from this terrible pirate ship.

Redbeard seemed to see that Xu Feng was still hesitating, and played a temptation card again, "As long as you can help me get rid of Barth, from now on, you will be the first mate on this ship, how about it?" ā€

"Captain Redbeard, please accept my loyalty!" Xu Feng weighed left and right, he was really helpless, didn't he follow the unlucky captain in front of him, right? Going to die soon. Follow him, right? Xu Feng really didn't have confidence that he could still protect himself in such a situation now. It's better to die later than now, and if you can get rid of that feminine man, maybe you can really become the second-in-command of this boat, which can be regarded as a good deal. Xu Feng, who had made up his mind, asked by the way, "Captain, how many people are in our team?" You don't have to start a riot tonight and take out that sinister guy! ā€

Hearing Xu Feng's question, Captain Redbeard's face turned red, as red as his beard, "There are not many ~ people, so we have to think about killing Bart in the long run." ā€

Xu Feng felt like he was being cheated in his heart, "Could it be that the two of us are on one side?" ā€

Captain Redbeard didn't answer Xu Feng's question directly, "It's not that I haven't co-opted other pirates, but I don't know why, all of them didn't succeed." I've tried to recruit new pirates, and those who have come aboard have either become Barth's men or die unexpectedly. Ever since I had personally promoted Barth to be my first mate, there have been frequent accidents on board, and people have either disappeared or died. At first I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was the most normal thing in sailing, but then I realized that the dead and missing pirates were all sailors who could measure. Later, I deliberately recruited a few seafarers who could measure, and all of them disappeared without exception. And only Barter was left on the ship to measure, and I zeroed in on him in my suspicions. But it was too late, because all my men had betrayed me. ā€

It's a sad story, certainly for Redbeard. The result of this sad story is to make Xu Feng feel helpless. He had always thought that pirates were a group of hot-blooded and impulsive people who only relied on their fists to speak, but the appearance of a guy who could play tricks and tricks in this group of simple-minded and well-developed people would be an inexplicable disaster for all pirates.

"Do you want me to kill your first mate in the middle of the night?" Xu Feng wanted to laugh a little after saying this idea, and the urge to laugh didn't know if it was because of Redbeard's tragic experience or his own unlucky energy.

"If you have that strength, that's the best! But to be honest, I don't recommend you go! Not to mention that he would arrange for my former subordinates to stand guard when he sleeps at night, the most important thing is that his strength is already a great sword master, and he once killed a sea monster in the Atlantic Ocean with a single sword, which I have seen with my own eyes, a terrifying monster much bigger than this pirate ship. ā€

Xu Feng immediately gave up the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, sister, the great swordsman! It's equivalent to level 30 of the player's retinue.,That's really an existence that I can't afford to mess with now.怂 At least not right now.

……

Xu Feng followed Captain Redbeard to the bow of the ship, and Redbeard pulled the alarm bell with his own hands. "Ding Ding Ding Ding~" This is an alarm device when the ship is attacked or in danger, an upside-down iron bell.

All the sailors heard the bell, whatever they were doing, ran to the deck, and someone shouted, "Enemy attack!" Fast! Get ready for battle! There was a sudden rush of chickens and dogs jumping on the deck.

"Quiet, you fools! There are no enemies! Shut up Lao Tzu! Go and call all the guys who didn't come to deck, the great Captain Redbeard has something to announce! Captain Redbeard looked at the chaotic scene on the deck and let out an angry roar, startling Xu Feng who was standing next to him.

At this moment, the blonde first mate pushed through the crowd and walked over, but before the person arrived, the cold words spread to every corner of the deck, "Captain Redbeard, the alarm bell is something that can only be used in case of danger, captain, isn't it too child's fun to ring the alarm bell just to announce something?" ā€

"First mate, you're here too? Come, stand next to the side first, I have something to announce, the alarm bell, I'll talk about it later. Redbeard ignored Barthes' sarcasm.

Barth's face became even more gloomy when he saw that Redbeard did not answer him, but for his own purposes, he held back, and he walked to Redbeard's side and stood there quietly, wanting to see what trick Redbeard was going to play.

"I had a dream last night." Redbeard cleared his throat and said, "In my dream, I met God!" God accused me of killing too much in this life and not going to heaven after I died. ā€

The pirates below laughed, and someone joked, "Boss! When did you trust God? How did we not know? ā€

"Haha~~ Boss, what's wrong? Haha......"

Redbeard waited for the pirates below to finish laughing before continuing, "Lao Tzu did not believe in God before, but from now on Lao Tzu does!" Because last night the emperor told me that if I do less slaughter from now on, the door of heaven will be opened for me after death! Lao Tzu is 57 years old this year, and he may soon return to the arms of God, why can't Lao Tzu believe in God? ā€œ

Barth looked at Redbeard in some surprise, "Captain, you're not serious, are you?" ā€

"Seriously, of course! From today onwards, all the big and small affairs on the ship will be handed over to the first mate Barthes, and Lao Tzu will retreat and cultivate! One more thing, this little brother beside me, he is a missionary, a messenger of God, and a guide for me in the future. He will be in retreat with me. "That's what Redbeard can think of, it's a bit ridiculous, but the most captain, it's just that he can be so capricious!

Barthes turned his gaze to Xu Feng on the side, and suddenly understood that what he believed in God and what missionaries were originally to protect this young man who had just boarded the ship. Could this person be your redbeard's savior? Hehe~ Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the end, I want to see how the two of you can turn out the palm of my hand.

The starlight at midnight was so beautiful, Xu Feng was bored lying on the window of the captain's room and looking at the night sky. "That's what you do? My Redbeard Captain? Your solution is to lock us in this room in disguise and do nothing? Drinking and watching the stars? ā€

Redbeard was still drinking wine, and he really didn't know how much stock he had. "Don't be so anxious, young man. Waiting is also a kind of tempering, it will make your heart brighter, bright enough to illuminate every path you go! ā€

Is this what a pirate can say? Xu Feng turned to look at Redbeard and asked in surprise, "You won't really convert to God, will you?" ā€

"Then God will take me in, a bloodied pirate leader. You know what? There are some things, once done, that you can't go back! And I am destined to be a pirate who will be accompanied by killing all his life, how can God have mercy on us? The image of the red beard seemed to have really become different in Xu Feng's eyes.

"So what are we going to do? I, a false preacher, and you, a hypocrite, are honest in this room? ā€

"Wait! Wait until my faithful first mate finds his destination! Redbeard said something that had no beginning or end.

Sister, people like to play dumb riddles when they get old? Can't just point directly? It's all grasshoppers on a rope, and I'm the only subordinate, so I can't bear it as a nominal boss. "Captain, the first mate came to Asia thousands of miles to find what he was looking for? Don't you know anything? ā€

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm looking for a ruin! Because he had an ancient parchment scroll map in his hand, it was supposed to be a treasure map. We found it in the ruins of a temple in Northern Europe, but I didn't see anything painted on it. Captain Redbeard told Xu Feng his guess.

"That's great! I can foresee that our death will be after your faithful first mate finds his treasure chest! ā€

"Haha! Don't worry, there's not just a treasure map in that ruin, there's also a key, but I got it. Maybe the real reason he didn't kill me was because of that rusty key! ā€
