"You're back, I made seafood soup with conch and oysters that weren't sold in the afternoon, and it's still hot when it's just out of the pot!" Marvin heard footsteps and leaned out of the kitchen in a leather apron, only to see a strange red-haired girl.

Zhang Heng followed behind her and introduced the two parties, "Annie, this is Malven of the Sea Lion, Malven, this is Annie of the Golden Swallow, the new resident here, she will stay for a while until ...... Well, she found her place on the island. ”

"Seafood soup?" Anne sniffed, "Can I have a bowl?" ”

Marven was stunned, and then said busily, "Of course, I have made a lot, even if it is enough for three people, but ......"

Before he could finish his words, the red-haired girl had already rushed into the kitchen, regardless of the heat, picked up the spoon and drank, she looked like she had been hungry for a long time, and after a few big sips, she filled herself with the largest bowl of oysters she could find, and walked out of it, squinting at the farmer's son, "But what? ”

"Well, I'd like to say but if it's not salty enough, you can put some more salt." Marven was shocked by the momentum exuded by the red-haired girl, and whispered.

"It's just food, it's enough to satisfy hunger, and it doesn't matter what it tastes like." Anne said as she sat down at the living room table with a bowl in her hand.

"I ...... This heresy must be opposed with real names. Mr. Cook plucked up the courage to express his protest in a voice smaller than a mosquito.

According to Anne's own account, she was born into a wealthy family, her father was a lawyer, owned a large orchard, and other bits and pieces, but her mother was only a maid, Anne was their illegitimate daughter, and since she was born, the mother and daughter were arranged in a secret manor, and her father was quite reliable, at least in terms of money, he did not treat the two of them badly, and he hired a teacher for Anne, wanting to train her to be a lady.

Unfortunately, unlike other girls, Anne has no interest in reading books and dancing parties, but likes to dance with knives and guns, and because of her childhood experience, she has a growing desire for freedom, especially the pirate stories told by her mother before bedtime.

Eventually, she escaped from the manor with a passing sailor, escaping her father's control, and they ran all the way to Nassau, the legendary pirate kingdom, where Anne was one step closer to her dream life, but then she faced the dilemma of not being able to find a job, and although she easily defeated the pirates in the tavern who were responsible for recruiting people, no pirate ship was willing to accept her.

The reason is simply because she is a woman.

When it rained overnight, Jaime Bernie, the sailor who had brought her with her to Nassau, had a showdown with her, saying that it was impossible to keep her food and shelter so endlessly, unless Anne was willing to marry him as his wife, but the irascible red-haired girl kicked the former's lower body and slammed the door.

But now it seems that this is all in the past, Anne has received a letter of recommendation from the Golden Swallow, got a job, and at the same time found a place to live temporarily, and it looks like a new page in her life is about to be opened.

…………

Annie's matter is a small episode, Zhang Heng just briefly understood the girl's experience and didn't care about her anymore, the only advantage of the house he rented was that it was big enough, even if Annie was given a room, there were still a lot of empty rooms, especially when he and Marven went to sea, there would often be some uninvited guests here, rather than cheapening those homeless people, it was better to let Annie live, there was no reason to refuse this kind of effort.

But then Zhang Heng moved his gaze back to the most important thing at the moment.

In view of the extraordinarily long time of this copy, he was not in a hurry, especially during the early period, Zhang Heng had no intention of pulling up the banner in a hurry.

His biggest advantage compared to other players is time, Zhang Heng can use one to two years to brush up his skills first, and then start working on the main quest, his luck is good, the Sea Lion is one of the most powerful pirates in Nassau, which also means that he has a lot to learn on it, and controlling the sail is definitely one of his main goals.

It was not far from the day when they set sail for the fourth time, and Zhang Heng found the sail length of the Sea Lion on the last night before going to sea.

Unlike most pirates who leave their homeland or go out to get ahead, Roscoe is a really careless kind of person, it is said that he was also the captain of a cargo ship, but on the way to the road was suddenly intercepted by a Royal Navy warship, the other party suddenly opened fire without any warning and negotiation, sinking Roscoe's cargo ship, and what is even worse is that there was his wife and five-year-old daughter on the ship at that time.

Rothko survived, but lost everything, and when he returned home, no one believed his story, but instead he was saddled with a huge debt, and eventually had to leave civilization and become a pirate.

He has no family, no relatives, he is the most bachelor of the ship, and he does not buy real estate on the island, and every time he gets off the ship, he plunges directly into the courtyard, well, considering his age, his ability in some aspects is indeed quite good.

In short, for the old man, there are only two ideal endings in his life, either he dies on the sea or dies in the bed of the courtyard, and in order to ensure that he will not be taken advantage of by anyone after his death, he has almost no money.

When Zhang Heng found Roscoe, the latter was playing a game of the king and the prisoner in the house.

Zhang Heng pushed open the door, only glanced at the scene in the house and then retreated, he closed the door, and after half a minute, a maid hurriedly walked out of it wrapped in a sheet.

Anyone who is in a bad mood when they are interrupted while doing this kind of thing, Rothko couldn't help but scold while getting dressed, "How many times have I said it, unless one day I can't walk anymore, you don't want to learn my skills, this matter is not negotiable, I count three times, you don't get out of front of me again, even if I retire, don't think about it......"

"Klor, your daughter." Zhang Heng interrupted the old man's curse, "She drifted at sea for three days after falling into the water, and when she was dying, she was lucky to meet a Spanish civilian ship, and the people on it rescued her, and later sent her back to England, but you were no longer there at that time, so she was adopted by a well-wisher, married a miller when she became an adult, gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and now she is a grandmother." ”

"No way, you're lying to me!" Instead of being pleased, Rothko said angrily, "You despicable little liar, you don't know where you heard my story, so you will never succeed in making up such a clumsy lie to deceive me of my most proud technology." ”

Zhang Heng didn't speak again this time, but directly put the toy wooden horse in front of the old man.

Sure enough, Rothko's eyes immediately changed when he saw this thing, and he said excitedly, "This is the toy I made for Koror on the ship, where did you get this thing?!" ”
