CH.77 Promise
An Rui's actions were all seen by Sha Fei and the others, which surprised them a little. They didn't expect that An Rui, who was laughing just now, would run into the alley and kill two people after finding an excuse to leave!
Shafi was better, she recognized the identities of Aru and the others, knew what was going on, and was able to understand what Anrui was doing. As for Beregor and Sam, they are a little confused, especially the kind Sam, who reacts very sensitively, and repeatedly asks Anrui why he wants to kill people.
Sam's degree of goodness and evil is as high as more than a hundred, which is far different from ordinary people, proving that he has a very kind personality and has done a lot of good things over the years.
In Anrui's view, Sam's kindness is not necessarily a good thing, in this treacherous sea, kindness is a luxury, and it cannot be easily given to others.
In order to dispel the doubts of Beregor and Sam, On the way back to the hotel, Anrui briefly talked about his entanglement with Scarface.
Berego is also an adventurer, and he has experienced some life-and-death battles, and after listening to An Rui's explanation, he was relieved and did not express any superfluous opinions. This kind of killing caused by contradictions will be staged every day in Iron Cannon Harbor. Every day when the sun rises, if there are one or two more corpses in the streets, it is nothing new, and no one will make a fuss.
Sam was a little mindful of that.
"They're robbers, maybe they should be sent to the local guard station and handed over to the guards to deal with, if they are killed directly, it's a bit of a big deal, right?" Sam muttered.
"It's just two robbers, so don't bother the guards who are busy with official business. And I'd rather judge their life and death with my own hands than leave it to someone else. I have a ruler in my heart to measure the life and death of the enemy, and if I exceed the scale, I will kill them, and if I don't exceed the scale, they will be lucky. An Rui said lightly.
"Okay. Maybe you're right. ”
"Sam, if you have any comments, feel free to bring them up, as the captain of the ship, I'd love to hear from the crew. There is a good saying, if you listen partially, it will be dark, and if you listen to both, it will be clear. An Rui knew that Sam still had something to say, and he didn't want Sam to hold back.
"Opinions don't count, I just have some doubts, if you go to sea, do you often encounter this kind of thing, I mean the fight and fight between people." Sam looked worried, it seemed that the new wizard was still a little scared about going to sea, which was also human nature.
"To go to sea is to fight with people and the sky, this is inevitable. The sea is a golden land, and there are interests everywhere, and where there are interests, disputes will naturally arise. If you want to get these benefits, you have to fight with others, otherwise you won't get anything. An Rui spread his hands.
"Do you say you're going to be a maritime merchant, and that a merchant is going to fight with others? I think fighting is what pirates do. ”
"Who do pirates fight against? Aren't you still fighting with the seamen? The pirates are bullying, and the maritime merchants have to resist. Otherwise, it will ruin your wealth at least and lose your life at worst. The navy is not a good thing, and they sometimes run to bully the maritime merchants and do some immoral things to extort money. The maritime merchants themselves can't unite anywhere, if it's the same chamber of commerce, it's better, if it's not the same chamber of commerce, sometimes it's black. Again, when you go to sea, you will inevitably fight, whether you are a pirate, a navy, or a maritime merchant. When An Rui said this, there was a little more fierce meaning in his eyes, "After we go to sea, there will definitely be blind guys who treat us as fat sheep who are easy to bully, and when the time comes, I will let them understand that some sheep are actually wolves in sheep's clothing." ”
"Alas, it seems that a fight is inevitable." Sam smiled wryly and sighed.
Anrui turned his head sideways, looking at Sam's chubby face with the soft light of the lights of ten thousand homes. He could see that although Sam had agreed to go to sea together, he still had some concerns in his heart, and even kept backing down. He really wants to keep Sam as a crew member, but he won't force him to stay, there is such a thing as people's hearts, and he can't keep them.
"Sam," Anrui spoke again, slowly and sincerely, "I know that your character is not suitable for going to sea, and if it sounds good, you are kind, and if it is ugly, you are weak. Personality is innate, you can't change it, and I don't want to change your personality at all. I just want to say that you don't need to have too much pressure, I won't force you to go to sea, and I won't be proud of what I helped you. You can just take it easy and take it as if this is an attempt and go out to sea with us. If, after going to sea, you find that you really can't accept this kind of life, and you want to go back to Iron Cannon Harbor. As long as you say a word, no matter where my ship is, I will send you back. This is my promise to you. ”
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I didn't want to go back." Sam was frightened by Anrui's words and waved his hand repeatedly.
"Whether you mean it or not, my words have already been spoken, and it is difficult to collect them. Hopefully, this commitment will make you feel a little lighter. Anrui smiled and tapped Sam's bouncy shoulder a few times.
Sam looked at Anrui and fell silent, and after a long while, he said thank you.
The topic came to an abrupt end, and when An Rui spoke again, he immediately diverted the topic and talked about some light things.
A few people talked and laughed and returned to the residence, Meimei slept for a while, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away in their sleep.
When he woke up the next day, instead of resting, he immediately set out to take the next step, buying a carriage and renting a stable space at the hotel.
He successfully captured the Ice Dragon, and with the skill "Blister Guardian", he can dive at will. Next, he had to go to a known vein of the ocean floor and dig out the deep-sea refined iron inside.
The deep sea essence iron is all in pieces, and the volume is not as huge as that of the Thundering Demon Tree, so it can be transported by horse-drawn carriage.
On this outing, he didn't plan to take Sam with him, only Shafi and Berego. This was done to give Sam some time, let him stay in the gym for a few more days, spend more time with his adoptive father and brothers, and practice well, improve his strength, or learn one more magic.
Sam naturally has no objection to this.
It took most of the day for Anrui to prepare the things she needed, and when everything was ready, it was already afternoon. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely for most of the day, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the captain is working hard, and there are many things to be busy with both on the shore and at sea. This is just the beginning, and when he has a fleet, a chamber of commerce, and even a territory, he will definitely be even busier. But it's good to be busy, the busier you are, the more fulfilling you are.
There is no rush to set off, and An Rui plans to leave again tomorrow morning and rest more today. With nothing to do, he took two of his men around the tavern and inquired about the news in the harbor and at sea. As a maritime merchant, you must be well-informed, and the tavern is a good place to inquire about it.
There is a lot of miscellaneous news on the sea, such as the appearance of a ghost ship in a certain place, or the fact that a pirate leader has attacked a certain port. These messages are actually half-truths and half-truths, and there is a lot of moisture, so you can't believe them all.
Among the many news, there was one that caught Anrui's attention.
Some claim that Brent, a wealthy local merchant, is digging and building a second dungeon, intending to regroup and buy another batch of slaves to make up for the losses caused by the previous "prison robbery". And this time Brent was going to make a big move, to expand his slave resale business.
The credibility of local news is still very high, and there is generally no falsehood.
After learning the news, a sentence popped up in An Rui's mind - if you don't die, you won't die.
"This Brent is making a lot of fun." An Rui chuckled and shook the wine glass in his hand, and the golden wine swayed with it. There was a commotion in the tavern, and except for a few people at this table, no one could hear what he was saying.
Although An Rui was laughing, Sha Fei and Berego still felt unkind in An Rui's tone, and their expressions became solemn. Berego, in particular, clenched his fists and made a rattling sound.
The pain of those days in the dungeon was still fresh in Berego's memory, and the pain of that whip was as deep in his memory as carving.
"Anrui, are we going to continue to fight against Brent in the future?" Sophie leaned down and asked in a low voice. Her pair of plump breasts appeared quite charming under the squeeze of this action, which looked very soft.
"Of course, I don't want to go to sea with regrets, and before we go to sea, we must make a break with Brent." Speaking of this, Anrui turned his head to look at Bereg, "Even for the sake of our elven archers, it is impossible to forget it like this. ”
Berego nodded slightly at An Rui, showing gratitude, but did not say thank you. Da En is not grateful, there are some things that you just know in your heart, and there is no need to talk about it. He raised his glass, touched it lightly with the one in Anrui's hand, and then drank it down.
"Captain, I have a request, give him to me when he is packing up the Brent." Berego put down his glass, his eyes burning.
"No problem, that's it." An Rui took a sip, and the corners of his mouth outlined a dangerous arc.
The buttons on Anrui's cuffs were unfastened, revealing a small half of the ice-blue dragon pattern. Since obtaining the Dragon Pet of the Ice Tide Dragon, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, rising to a new level, even if he is allowed to fight Sharod now, he will not be afraid!
Presumably, it won't be long before he surpasses Sharod in all respects. At that time, he will gather his men and find a suitable time to erase Bront and Sharod from the world.
That day, he believes, will not be too far away.
"Let's go." Anrui also drank the wine in his glass, put down the glass, and led the two companions out of the smoky tavern. Tomorrow he still has to go in search of the Deep Sea Iron, so it's better to rest early today.
