Chapter 14: Beauty Scheming
"Blakeney, are you awake?" Xu Mo smiled at little Blakeney.
"Anderson, where are you now?" Blakeney asked, turning his head. He had been transferred from the chapel to the sailor's cabin, and his face looked much better, though still pale from blood loss, but no longer that sickly blue-gray.
"Admiral Hedram said we would soon be in London." Xu Mo patted the thing in his hand and put it in front of Blakeney, "By the way, I extorted something from the Admiral, you will definitely like it." ”
"A book?" Blakeney looked at the hardcover book in his hand and looked up suspiciously.
"It's your favorite British privateer admiral, the Saga of Sir Drake!" Xu Mo nodded and helped Blakeney open the cowhide cover, "There are still a lot of beautiful inserts in here!" ”
"Sir Francis Royal, Drake's Legend!" Blakeney looked at the first page of the book and read softly.
"This book tells the story of all of Sir Drake's adventures as a navigator, including one of his voyages around the world, and in the second half of the book is a series of naval battles as an expert in naval warfare, so take your time!" Xu Mo said softly.
"Thank you, Lord Anderson!" Blakeney looked up and grinned.
"Call me Alfred from now on!" Xu Mo smiled and touched Blakeney's head.
"Okay, Alfred!" Blakeney said happily, "You're such a nice guy!" ”
Good? Looking at Blakeney's slightly childish smile, Xu Mo's face froze, and there seemed to be two other equally childish faces in front of him, one of them died tragically after being coaxed by himself, and the other lost his grandfather who depended on each other.
"You read the book, I'll go up to the deck and take a look!" Xu Mo reluctantly smiled.
"BOSS, those two reincarnators have just come to recruit me, and their patience is really good. I thought it would come soon, but I didn't expect that they had been delaying until now! Dinah's communication came from Xu Mo's soul imprint.
"Hmph, it's not that they don't want to get on the ship to recruit you, but at that time, your status on the ship was higher than theirs. They want to show you their strength first, and then recruit you after they become officers, so that they have a better grasp. Xu Mo passed the message as he came out of the cabin and walked to the deck.
Dinah was also on deck now, but the two of them were in the bow and the other in the stern, and they didn't look at each other, just silently communicating through the soul seal.
"Hehe, it's just that they didn't expect that after a naval battle and a shipwreck, no one has become an officer, not even a candidate non-commissioned officer!" Dinah sneered, "But why are they cheeky to recruit me now? After all, we still have more than 30 days left in the leisure world, so there's no need to rush! ”
"That's because the reincarnation named Ahan yesterday made a mistake, and none of them can be promoted to officer quickly." Xu Mo said lightly, "So, they want to use you to open the door to Hedlam, and deal with me by the way!" ”
"BOSS, should I promise them, if I pretend to join them, I should be able to detect a lot of information, and you can deal with it in advance." Dinah's voice paused for a moment before it resumed.
"No need! I know you don't want to do such a thing, and besides, they are impatient to come to you this time, and I think there may be another reason! A gleam flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, "Those two reincarnators are likely to have a conflict!" ”
"No, it won't! Do those two people want to die? Knowing that there is such a powerful opponent as you on the ship, there are still internal contradictions? Dinah asked, surprised.
"I'm just guessing, the truth doesn't have to be that!" Xu Mo replied.
"Hee-hee! BOSS, you seem to have changed a lot now, not only has your heart softened, but you have also become humble! Dinah quipped to Xu Mo, "Tell me your reason, since you say so, I know there must be a reason for you!" ”
Is your heart soft? Xu Mo touched his face and showed a sneer. He didn't feel that his heart had softened, but that there were many things that had found answers, and he was no longer as insensitive as he was when he first entered the superstring space.
"Those two reincarnators, the woman is a strong woman in reality, and the man is the core MT of the team with defensive talent, and now they have both become knights and have entered the transfer process. Even if such two people have spent several mission worlds together and become companions after experiencing the test of life and death, it cannot be said that there is no competition between each other and they are willing to be the green leaves of the other person. ”
"Can't they be husband and wife, or brother and sister? Oh, no, after all, the law body is based on the original body, and the two body types are too different to be brother and sister. However, it is still possible that they are husband and wife! Dinah retorted.
"It's possible, but it's too unlikely. After all, two people who are both very strong, and the possibility of becoming a husband and wife in reality is relatively small. Xu Mo analyzed, "Hudram and Gerhardt are very shrewd, and it is not easy to deal with these two people under their noses, so when I encountered the maelstrom yesterday, I tested that big man Ahan!" ”
"BOSS, do you mean the one who took the blame for the mistake of taking the helm on himself?" Dinah asked, confused, "I was about to ask you why you did this yesterday." Even if you take the blame, the other two sailors will set the record straight, and that Ahand won't admit it. ”
"Hehe, I didn't think about making him confess, I just used that incident to test who was the leader among the two of them, and by the way, add some blockage to them and create some friction, which should have worked now!" Xu Mo sneered, "Dinah, you once said that that Selena is very familiar with sailing, and maybe she even has a sailboat herself!" ”
"yes, does this have anything to do with what you're talking about now?" Dinah was a little confused.
"Of course, it matters, although the sail and deck sailors are ordinary sailors, but the status of the sail sail is definitely higher in comparison, after all, it has a certain technical content. This also shows that Ahan is a layman when it comes to sailing, let alone being at the helm.
You see, this Vestelos, even Manuel, a carpenter, has to wear three hats, and if Arhan knew a little bit about the technical skills of helming, he wouldn't have to be just a deck sailor. Xu Mo said lightly.
"BOSS, you're saying that he decided to take the helm himself without talking to Selena, who is experienced in sailing?" Dinah understood a little, "But it's also possible that the situation was too critical at that time, and he didn't have time to discuss it with Selena?" ”
"Impossible! That night, although the situation was more tense, at the helm, Manuel had already arranged for Rahew to take the helm, and it was Ahan who relied on his own strength to snatch the responsibility of taking the helm. Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have seen through the truth of the whole thing.
"Why would he do that?" Dinah felt that the truth was already looming, and it seemed that as long as the last veil was lifted, she could see its true face.
"Because he wants to fight for merit, in the last naval battle, he became a first-class sailor, as long as he goes one step further, he will become an alternate non-commissioned officer of the battleship, and the status is about the same as the two of us. What's more, at that time, he was on a higher status than Linna. Xu Mo said lightly.
"Well, the two of them do have a competitive relationship, and if Ahan is the leader himself, or if he is willing to be below Selena, then he will not decide to take the helm without consulting Selena, who is experienced in seafaring." Dinah understood.
"Well, it's possible that Selena is the head of the regiment and he is the deputy commander, but Ahan is not willing to be subordinated to a woman. It is even possible that the two of them will use the proceeds of this world to decide who will be the leader in the future. Xu Mo smiled coldly, "That's why I deliberately took his mistake that day." ”
"Boss, you're so bad! Originally, Ahan's stealing of the merit caused a mistake, Selena wouldn't say anything, but you have the same fake kindness as a third party, and Selena will ask Arhan what happened. In this way, it is strange that they do not argue! Dinah said quietly.
"What do you mean by a third party, Dinah, you're not going to be an entertainment reporter at The New York Times, are you?" Xu Mo fought back with tears and laughter.
"However, Selena is a really powerful woman. I guess she's realized my intentions when she got to the back, so she'll go to you right away. The first is to use you to open up the upper echelons of the Vestelos, the second is to use you against me, and the third is to let you join the team as a lubricant between her and Ahan, and restore harmony to the team! Xu Mo continued, "Although Ahan's personal strength is strong, his mind can't be compared to Selena at all, if we let it go, he will be subdued by this woman sooner or later!" ”
"Hmph, you know how good the women are! It seems that my entertainment is still very important, she and I are both women, and they are easier to talk to each other, she can win over me to subdue Ahan, you must know that I am a 'recovery skill talent', MT's strongest backing! Dinah said angrily.
Xu Mo seemed to be able to see a small tail with a black arrow behind Dinah's back and start to, "It's good that you understand, so you can't join them now, just perfunctory them." You'll need to show that you value Ahan's defensive talents, but you also have to doubt Selena's strength and continue to block them. You can even hint at them, I'm also recruiting you, whichever side is stronger, you will join whichever side! ”
"BOSS, in this case, you are too dangerous, and I can't help you explicitly, will it be a little difficult for you to deal with the two of them alone!" Dinah said worriedly.
"When did you see the boss, I suffered the loss of the reincarnation!" Xu Mo said lightly, "I'm just afraid that they will be too careful and unwilling to do it!" In addition, our plan can be implemented when we arrive in London. ”
"Dangdang!" While the two were talking, the ship's bronze bell rang again. But this time, both people on deck knew why, because not far from the sea, a city shrouded in a faint mist appeared, and the fog capital London arrived!
