Chapter 121: Black Sails (26)
Zhang Heng stood outside the door, quietly watching the black carriage disappear into the night again.
Then the door behind him was secretly opened.
"Didn't you go to sleep?" Zhang Heng didn't look back and knew who it was.
The red-haired girl was very upright, "When I think of you going out mysteriously in the middle of the night without us, I can't sleep with curiosity." ”
"If you have this time to spy on my privacy, you might as well think about how to recruit enough men, in two months we will go to sea, I will find a way to get a dhow, but it will take at least ten people to operate, especially the gunners, do you have any candidates for this?"
"Nope."
“…………”
"I only make friends to see if I talk about righteousness, I don't fight well, and I never ask about my background!" Anne puffed up her chest and said proudly, but when she saw Zhang Heng's eyes, she rejected, and added, "I'll ask tomorrow, just ask." ”
After a pause, the red-haired girl took out a small dagger from behind her, revealing a twisted look for the first time, Zhang Heng saw a similar expression on Anne's face for the first time, usually she is more heroic than a man, Zhang Heng has seen her walking around the house in underwear more than once, sometimes carrying a wine bottle, squinting at the people who walked in, very social, and her current appearance is rare.
"That...... Thank you for letting me on the boat and helping me find a job, I see that the dagger on your body has a gap, this is what I won in a fight two days ago, and I happen to be useless, so I ...... I'll give it to you for self-defense. The red-haired girl stumbled.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took the dagger and touched the girl's unkempt red hair with his other hand.
…………
Although Orff and the others were eager to go to sea as soon as possible, the Sea Lion's hull was badly damaged after a few battles and had to be repaired completely, even with the best carpenters on the island, the job lasted for half a month, and Zhang Heng was quiet during this half month.
He stayed in his lodgings for the most part and didn't leave much, and he had carved out a small field behind the door and planted vegetables, something he had done on a desert island before, so he was very skilled.
Of course Zhang Heng would not believe Frazier's words, although the old pirate was very sincere that night, but Zhang Heng knew that this just meant that he couldn't hold back, this was the first time that the latter took the initiative to visit him after being on the island for so long, if it was just to release goodwill, he didn't need to run by himself at all.
Old foxes like Fraser and Orff, they're both natural leaders, they have an innate charisma, they're good at using the odds to unknowingly achieve their goals, and even when they're manipulating, they can make you believe he's doing your good, but if you really believe their words, you'll just end up being deceived.
If Kidd's Treasure was really a game designed by Orff, then the addition of Fraser would undoubtedly make the game even more dangerous.
The best thing to do now is to keep it the same, so Zhang Heng didn't go to the carpenter named Kent after being warned, but he did make some preparations in private.
A man wearing a wig and a lace scarf around his neck walked in through the door.
His name was Barr, and he was a well-known arms dealer on Nassau Island, and he put two things, one long and one short, wrapped in oilcloth, on the table, and then took the tea leaves handed by Malvin and crossed his legs and said, "What you want, inspect it." ”
Zhang Heng opened the long tarpaulin, inside was a musket, today's Europe is the world of muskets, but in fact, in the 15th century, rifled guns have been born, but they are far less popular than smoothbore guns, the reason is because bullet loading is too troublesome, basically smoothbore guns can only be fired with three rifled guns, and people with small arm strength may not even be able to stuff bullets into the muzzle.
However, rifled guns also have the advantages of rifled guns, and their effective range and shooting accuracy are far superior to smoothbore guns.
Zhang Heng has always wanted to buy a spare, and at a critical time, it may be possible to play an unexpected role with his lv2 archery skills.
In addition, Barr also brought three short muskets this time, plus the one in Zhang Heng's original hand, so that he had four short muskets on his body, which meant that he could shoot four times in a row.
There is no way, in this era when a gun can only fire one bullet, Zhang Heng can only use this method to enhance his firepower.
He wore a black coat with two short muskets at his waist and the other two in holsters on his chest.
Anne pursed her lips on the side, but finally had to admit, "Hmph, it looks pretty good, I just don't know how the battle is going." ”
Zhang Heng ignored the red-haired girl who was eager to try it and paid the weapon merchant 140 silver coins at the agreed price.
Barr flipped his purse and said with satisfaction, "You can continue to come to me if you need to." ”
What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that he actually heard the system's prompt after completing the transaction.
[If you hold more than three firearms, you can get +3 points in the game, and you can go to the character panel to view the relevant information......]
Zhang Heng still has the same attitude towards the game, and he has not deliberately brushed away his achievements, and he has obtained a total of seventeen points so far after entering this world. In addition to the three points just obtained, eight of which are related to raiding, and six are related to sailing miles.
According to this speed calculation, when this round of dungeons is over, he can easily get more than 200 points, this number is a bit terrifying, but Zhang Heng knows that this calculation is not very accurate, and this kind of thing is generally easier to get in the early stage than in the later stage, but it is certain that because the time has been stretched too long, he should have a lot more points than ordinary players this time, of course, the price is that he will also have to stay in this world for a long time.
This small town called Nassau may also become a part of his body.
On the third day after Zhang Heng got the weapon, the Sea Lion finally completed the overhaul and raised its sails again amid cheers.
Orff stood at the bow of the ship and began his routine speech before each departure, "There must be no one on this ship who doesn't know the end of our trip, so I don't think I need to repeat it." ”
The pirates burst into laughter when they heard this, but then they listened to the helmsman's words, "This time we have recruited a lot of newcomers, some things are better to be clear, we don't care about your past, we don't care what mistakes you have made, but since you have boarded this ship, you are a member of this ship, you must abide by our rules, especially at such a special moment, we need everyone to unite and concentrate our forces together, only in this way can we overcome the difficulties in front of us, In the process, if someone wants to play any tricks, or do something behind the back of others, then he is the enemy of the boat, and we will treat the enemy mercilessly. ”
Orff paused, then continued, "I just got the news not long ago that there was a traitor among us, and I am willing to give him a chance to stand up for himself, confess everything, and accept everyone's judgment, otherwise, I can't guarantee that something bad will happen to him." ”
