A wrist wrestling contest is taking place in the tavern. A group of rough old men gathered around an oak barrel and screamed loudly. The two stout men had their right hands on their right hands, and their necks were red, and it was still difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

Seeing Laura come in, the eyes of a young man who looked like a student lit up. "Miss Crawford?" He leaned over attentively, "Do you remember me?" I'm your junior! In the library of London Metropolitan University, we discussed the ancient sun god worship in Mexico. ”

Laura recalled for five seconds. "Ah, I remember you," she smiled as she shook the young man's hand, "how have you been?" Are you okay? Very good? ”

They exchanged pleasantries, but she didn't call the young man by his name all the time, most likely because she couldn't remember it.

At this point, the wrist wrestling competition finally came to an end. A relative or friend of the red-haired man knocked a beer bottle on the yellow-haired man's head and helped his side win. The relatives and friends of the yellow-haired man thought that the game was unfair, so they started a fight without saying a word. A scuffle in the bar begins. Basically, only the relatives and friends of the two players participated. Everyone else sits indifferently in their seats and drinks, as if watching a wrestling match.

Behind the counter, the bar owner wiped his plate with a familiar expression. Occasionally write down a compensation on the blackboard behind your back.

When the two groups of people make a lot of trouble, the boss will still stop it. For example, it is forbidden to pick up a chair and pick up people, and it is not allowed to use a knife.

Soon, the red-haired man's side won a complete victory, knocking the yellow-haired man's relatives and friends unconscious to the ground. The red-haired man raised his hands and looked at the audience as if he were the champion.

He noticed Laura pushing the door in, and walked over very tuggingly: "What are you doing here, Britney?" He made his pectoral muscles jump twice, "Want to see the life of a sailor up close?" ”

"to recruit people. My friend and I are planning an archaeological excavation trip to Northern Syria. ”

"Hehe," the red-haired man smiled contemptuously, "you look like you haven't graduated from college yet, and you want to go to Northern Syria." I heard there was a war. ”

"I've sailed halfway around the world."

"Hehe, I can't see that your thin skin and tender flesh are still blowing through the sea breeze. Did you go to the Presidential Suite on the Royal Princess? Do you think that even if it is a sailing experience, you feel like me? Look around you," he pointed at random, "that's Clive, who had just spent three and a half years on the White Heat survey ship. The ship specialized in salvaging Spanish treasures in South America, and you can't imagine how much gold and silver treasure he handled. ”

"Thirty-five million dollars," said Whitebeard's Clive, "and I'm not responsible for any money, I'm a submersible engineer." ”

The red-haired man pointed to the other one and said, "This is Los Head, an extremely deadly pirate hunter. He has a clipper ship, which specializes in escorting cruise ships on the coast of East Africa, and has fought countless battles with the Suohai Group. ”

The strong, dark-haired man, half of his ear missing, smiled conceitedly and raised his glass.

The red-haired man pointed to a middle-aged woman: "That's Madeco, nicknamed Master Black Rose, a professional freelance mercenary." I heard you want to go to Syria? She had just returned from Syria and knew better than you what kind of hell it was. ”

The middle-aged woman looked at him indifferently and didn't say a word. By the standards of ordinary people, she was strong, a fierce warrior, and it was clear that she had a lot of lives on her hands.

"And finally me, the strong Popeye Sabah," the red-haired man proudly spread his arms, "I've done it on many expedition salvage boats. I used to be the expedition leader of the famous explorer Richard Crawford. Ever heard of Crawford Manor? Very magnificent, very awesome, I was a guest there. When I'm free, I can take you there to play. ”

Laura confirmed: "You mean Crawford Manor?" ”

The red-haired man nodded, "Yes, Crawford Manor." I'll go there when I'm fine, and I'll have a drink and talk with Earl Richard and his daughter."

"That's my house," said Laura, "and Richard Crawford is my father, and my name is Laura Crawford, and I'm his only daughter." So, who are you? ”

The air was suddenly quiet, and the embarrassed expression on the red-haired man's face was impressive. "Don't talk nonsense!" He looked a little angry, "I've seen Lara Crawford with my own eyes!" I am an experienced adventurer and navigator, and you come to our territory and want to compete with us, but you don't know how to respect us? ”

"Thank you for the advice."

After coldly and politely dismissing the red-haired man, Laura begins to give a recruitment speech. "I am the daughter of Earl Richard Crawford, Lara Crawford!" "I'm here to find some really brave companions, people who have a lot of adventure and have fun with it," she exclaimed. I ask for your help in finding an ancient city lost in the Syrian desert. It's mysterious, and it's sure to be dangerous along the way. But it hides an extremely important secret that deserves the attention of a true adventurer! I beg you, adventurers, to work together to uncover its secrets. ”

No one paid attention to it, and it was cold.

The red-haired man let out a sneer. "Who wants to get on your ship?" He asked loudly to the people around him, "Who wants to get on this chick's boat?" No? Not at all surprised," he turned to Laura, "the beautiful woman who calls herself the daughter of Earl Richard, here are all veterans, and I'm afraid you've seen more liars than you've ever drunk." In this way, if you dump the yellow little white face next to you and have a drink with me, I will teach you some experience on how to recruit people, and make a deal? ”

Laura looked at Nanxiao and whispered, "Don't be angry, okay, I'll deal with him." ”

She sarcastically said to the red-haired man, "I'm afraid your farthest sailing experience is less than two nautical miles offshore, right?" It's all the dead muscles in the gym, bluffing people on steroids and protein powder piles. You don't have the temperament of an old seafarer at all, and you can't imagine what kind of world Syria is. What experience do you have to teach me? Do you have the experience of showing off your biceps in a bar to deceive little girls? ”

Someone in the bar laughed and whistled and said, "Sabah, you are despised." ”

The red-haired man's face was even more unbearable, and he glared at Laura and said, "You dare to talk to me like that?" Believe it or not, I took your head off and took it to the bowling alley over there to roll around? Speak to me, you'd better be polite. ”

"Hehe," Laura smiled disdainfully, "you can try." It's not necessarily who rolls on the fairway when the time comes. ”

The crowd at the bar burst into laughter. Someone shouted, "Sabah, don't BB, it's time to do it." Someone said, "He has no eggs, so he doesn't dare to do ......it."

Sabah got angry and reached out to grab Laura's neck.
