CH.44 New Crew
"To be honest, I don't have any plans, I just want to scrape together enough money as soon as possible to pay for those settling-in expenses and take care of the aftermath of several victims." Berego shook his head slightly and replied.
"Berego," Anrui asked, staring at the other man with a thoughtful expression, "Have you ever thought of going to sea?" ”
Berego was not stupid, he heard the implication of An Rui's words, raised his eyes to stare at the latter, and asked, "Do you want me to go to sea with you?" ”
"Yes, that's exactly what I did." An Rui nodded, admitting calmly.
"I'm afraid it won't work, you better dismiss this idea."
"Don't jump to conclusions, listen to what I've to say. I know that with your character, you will definitely not be willing to be subordinate to others and serve others. I'd rather be a chicken's head than an oxtail, and I understand this truth. But it's not as bad as you think, and there are a lot of benefits for you. ”
"For example?"
"For example, a new environment, a new beginning. You've planted a heel in Iron Cannon Harbor, and you've left a lot of unpleasant memories here, and if you stay here, you'll inevitably remember those bad things in the past. But when you get to sea, it's different, and in the new environment, you will slowly forget everything that happened here. Yesterday cannot be left behind, and people must learn to look forward. ”
"I can still get up again, and where I fall, I will get up." Berego's gaze was as sharp as the tip of an arrow, "I'm going to stay here and form a new adventure party and continue to live the adventurous life I used to have." ”
An Rui smiled bitterly, sitting opposite was really a hard bone, but the more this happened, the more he wanted to gnaw the other party off. This new crew, he settled.
"Berego, you can see that you are a very brave person and love adventure, otherwise, you would not insist on forming an adventure party, would you?"
Berego nodded, acquiescing.
"In this case, you should go to sea with me, the sea is the paradise of adventurers, and now is the age of sailing, the age of great navigation. As an adventurer, you should go to sea. Don't you want to make a name for yourself at sea? An Rui asked seductively.
"I did consider being an adventurer at sea before, but ......," Bereg's face turned a little odd, "I'm seasick and a landlubber. ”
"That's not a problem at all, seasickness and swimming are just small things, and you can easily overcome them with your skills. The key is to see your determination to go to sea, do you want to go to sea or not? ”
"Even if I wanted to, I didn't need to mess around with you, did I? As you mentioned last time in the Misty Forest, you don't even have a ship right now, only a half-finished ship in the shipyard. If I want to go to sea, I can go to the captains who have been famous for a long time, and that is obviously the better choice. Berego leaned back and leaned back in his chair, unsalted.
"No, no, no," An Rui smiled mysteriously and shook his finger, "They can't give you what you want at all, only I can satisfy you and give you what you want the most." ”
"What's that?" Berego frowned.
"Ring of Eagle Eye, your heirloom." An Rui took off the magic ring he was wearing on his left hand and placed it in the center of the table, the ring seemed to have become a magnet, exuding a huge attraction, "As long as you promise to mix with me, this ring is yours, and I am happy to return it to its original owner." ”
Berego stared at the ring on the table, which reflected an orange-red glow in the light, like a sunset suspended in the sky. His breathing was noticeably short, and his chest was heaving.
"It's another deal." The elven archer said dryly.
"Life is full of deals, isn't it?" An Rui asked with a smile.
"Give me some time and let me think about it."
"Okay, I'll give you a glass of wine, and after I've drunk it, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. We are all gentlemen, and we should do things neatly, not mothers-in-law. Anrui grabbed the wine glass in front of him, pointed the rim of the glass to his mouth, and drank it with a grunt. Under his gobbling up, the wine passed quickly, and looking at this momentum, it would be drunk in less than ten seconds.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...... Time was passing quickly, and Berego stared at the ring that once belonged to her, his eyes constantly changing, and his face was cloudy.
"Bump." Anrui placed the empty wine glass on the table, "Berego, give me the answer." ”
"Deal," Berego agreed, his eyes shining with high spirits, no longer as lifeless as before, "From now on, you are my captain, and the elven archer Beregor will be at his disposal at any time." ”
The reason why Berego agreed was mostly for the Eagle Eye Ring, but Anrui didn't care about this, he only cared about the result.
The corners of An Rui's lips curled twice, and a system prompt sounded in his head.
[Hint: You have subdued a new crew member, Berego Windhawk, who will be your right-hand man on the seven seas.] 】

Anrui finally has a second crew member, and his strength is not bad, he is a level 5 archer.
Archers are very useful in naval warfare, they can carry out long-range strikes against enemy ships, ignite canvas or explosive barrels with rockets, or shoot the commander of an enemy ship to make the enemy ship leaderless. On a sailing ship, an archer is sometimes even more important than a warrior.
A level 5 archer is not a strong man in this sea, but for the current An Rui, he is already a very useful helper.
Although Berego can't beat the Weasel King, it doesn't mean that he is weak, the Weasel King is a level 7 monster, and it's normal for him to not be able to beat him. If you are facing a normal enemy, such as a normal Weasel or a black widow, Berego can kill with one arrow!
And Berego is okay and kind in his bones, which can be seen from the fact that he overpaid the settling-in fee.
Before the construction of the new ship was completed, Anrui already had two powerful crew members, one was Shafi and the other was Berego. If he is included, the new ship already has two captains and warriors, plus an archer, and there is a lack of helmsmen, sail controllers, gunners, sailors, and so on to drive the new ship away.
It seems that it will take a lot of people to gather the manpower and drive the new ship away. Fortunately, this is a port, and there is no shortage of crews, as long as there is money, no matter how good the crew is, they can find it. Moreover, An Rui has the experience of his previous life, and he knows the location of some hidden crew members on Jingtie Island in Daodao, and he will definitely create a set of his own sailing team before the new ship is built. When the time comes, everyone will drive the new ship together and ride the wind and waves on the sea, which must be very pleasant.
After reining in his thoughts, Anrui refocused his attention on the present.
"Very well, I am very satisfied with your answer, and the matter is settled. You make me a crew member, and I'll give you back the Ring of Hawkeye. When you get on my ship, the ring will be yours. I'll take care of this ring for you during this time, are you okay? Anrui picked up the Hawkeye Ring on the table and shook it at the elven archer.
"No comment, as it should be." Berego spread his hands.
"Well, I'll put the ring back first, and I promise you that I will take good care of this ring, and I will never let this ring be damaged in the slightest before setting sail for the sea." Anrui put the Hawkeye Ring back on his left hand and said with a smile.
After that, the two celebrated the cooperation, toasted a few glasses, and talked about the details of the cooperation, such as Anrui's general plan after going to sea, and where the two live now.
By the time the two had agreed on everything, the time had already passed to the first half of the night, and the night covered the land and the stars twinkled endlessly.
With the previous experience of drunkenness, An Rui has been weighing his alcohol consumption tonight, not drinking too much, and he is quite sober at this time. He said goodbye to Beregot, and the two went back to their respective homes, going in opposite directions, to both sides of the street.
Back at the hotel, Anrui knocked on Shafei's door and told her about the night.
Shafi was very happy to learn that Berego had joined, which meant that their team had more strength and was one step closer to going to sea.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, An Rui slept soundly tonight, and he was even more energetic when he woke up the next day.
According to the original plan, An Rui and Shafei took their fishing gear and bait and set off for a fishing spot on Jingtie Island, intending to fish there to make money.
"Captain, you've been selling off the guanzi, refusing to tell me what fish you want to catch to make money, and now you're going to the fishing spot soon, so you can tell the secret, right?" Halfway through, Sha Fei raised the fishing rod on Xiang's shoulder and asked casually.
"It's definitely not okay to catch ordinary fish, and if you want to make a lot of money, you have to catch some special fish." An Rui said with a smile.
"What kind of fish are you going to catch, hurry up, don't sell it."
"The fish I'm going to catch is a dream fish. After eating the flesh of this fish, I will have a sweet dream that night. Many wealthy businessmen are willing to pay a lot of money to buy this fish to eat, of course, they buy this fish not only for meat, but also for a sweet dream. Many times, sweet dreams are sweeter than honey. ”
"Dream Fish...... I seem to have the impression that how much can this fish sell for? ”
"Not much," the smile on An Rui's face widened, "it's just fifteen gold coins a piece." ”
