Between the second and third months of the entire mission period, no contractor can be more beautiful than Lu Yuan and Zhuo Xiaoji.
Maria's self-defeating attempt to challenge the windmill completely pushed herself to the forefront and directly obscured the light of all the contractor squads! Whether it is the "Ripper" who sweeps around, or the "Dead Squad" who secretly makes trouble, they have all stolen the limelight. Although no one can predict, how long will they be able to hold out like this, and how far will they go? But at least for this moment, they radiate a dazzling brilliance and shine in the Caribbean! Unbeatable!
Even Ye Zi and Cheng Yuyue, who are familiar with them, can only lament that this person's ability to grab headlines is too strong, but fortunately, I am not the only one in the tragedy.
Compared with the reputation that skyrocketed, but could not see the benefits, it was still affordable that made Lu Yuan and Zhuo Xiaoji more tempting.
The first is Mission Three, "Kill at least one Gold Boss, five Silver Opponents, and twenty Bronze Sailors." Ransack, capture, and sink 10 ships of no less than 4 stars! Don't forget to paint the bow of the ship with a little star?! This is Lu Yuan's "bronze-level" mission. Chick is categorized as "Black Iron", and her task is much simpler. Now the completion of both of them is terrifyingly high. But there is still no hint that the task is completed.
Zhuo Xiaoji once blushed and pointed to the sentence, "Remember to paint the little star on the bow of the ship?!" Said to Lu Yuan, "It could be here." The Lord God has always been very ......"
Lu Yuan swayed for a long time between the sense of shame and the festival he had just picked up. In the end, he failed to make the move to smear the little stars on the bow of the "Maria...... It's too tasteless, there is wood?! It's better to wait until he did when he completed task two, because he exceeded the requirements too much, and he had to be allowed to complete it.
In addition to the mission, the two also reaped the results of "sinking a legendary ship" and a hidden side quest "Fighting the Slave Trader", which earned a total of 6,000 points. And they all received the title of "Fighter for Human Rights" - "when equipped with this title, when the crew is colored, the combat effectiveness increases by 10 percent, and the combat effectiveness of the white crew decreases by 50 percent"...... Lu Yuan felt that it was full of malice.
This time. The main thing in life is basically the fight and the interval between battles.
The only episode took place in Port of Spain.
At that time, the "Maria", which had been remodeled, was carrying out a "campaign to recruit sailors and deliver rum" in the port of Port of Spain. Crates of rum were sent out, and one by one the drunken sailors were led to the ship with their handprints pressed. In order to check the health of the body, mainly to prevent infectious diseases from being brought on the ship, Lu Yuan was standing at the entrance of the boat trestle at that time, when everyone walked by. He would smile and pat it and say something like "I'm very optimistic about you!" "Young man, you have a great future! βγβ next time I go home and marry a wife" or something like that.
In short, it is a good idea to deceive everyone who is deeply inspired...... Ahem, recruit at the same time as the ship. They can also use the Lu's Jiuyang True Qi that was injected into their bodies to check if there is any illness by the way. The person who was photographed. When you are drunk, you will only feel a warmth on your body. It's like being close to a stove, and nothing else is uncomfortable. However, Lu Yuan understood the physical condition by seven or eight points, and people with infectious diseases could be directly screened.
At this time, there were not as many ferocious variant infectious diseases as later generations.
But when Lu Yuan photographed one of them, as soon as the true qi was injected into it, that person screamed! He screamed and jumped from the trestle into the sea, but even if he fell into the sea, the man still fell down as if he had been splashed with regia water, as if he was about to melt. The man tossed in the water a few times, and then simply sank to the bottom......
Lu Yuan was in a daze on the trestle for several minutes before he figured out the ins and outs and scolded, "your mother's team of the dead!" β
That is the Dead Man Squad planning to mix up with the spies on the Maria! Your sister, you can't tell from the appearance at all! If it weren't for Lu's Jiuyang True Qi, who was the nemesis of all negative energy and evil worship, maybe Lu Yuan's family background would have been touched by someone sooner or later!
****
"How?"
Lu Yuan stood on the ship in the smoke of gunpowder, looking at the end of the field of vision, the junction of the sky and the blue sea.
This month, after the slave traders hired powerful escort warships or formed groups to operate, Lu Yuan's operation began to become difficult.
The "Maria" often had to fight alone against three or four ships of the same level or above, although Lu Yuan could win, but the end of the battle was mostly like this, several ships were sunk, and the rest were not far from sinking!
He could no longer create the shocking effect of a "ghost ship" as he had done in the past.
But those are just formalities, and they don't matter.
And during this period, the eyes of the sea goddess seemed to have shifted to other places, and she no longer stared at Lu Yuan. Occasionally, when he encounters a stormy weather, he can easily take on the enemy! It's also a small benefit.
Now Lu Yuan is chasing the British slave ship all over the Caribbean Sea and beating it! And it's staring at the ships of the East India Company and beating them! Although the five major powers of the Caribbean, as well as countless organizations and chambers of commerce, were engaged in the slave trade. But Lu Yuan is not a righteous madman, and he definitely can't declare war on the whole world! He just appeared in a vengeful posture, only staring at the British East India Company, leaving others speechless!
The stronger Lu Yuan behaved, the greater the pressure on the British East India Company - are you brain-dead to treat such a powerful person as a slave? No matter how arrogant Europeans are, some people still have to look at their status equally! For example, the powerful empires and monarchs of the East, and the mysterious magicians and adventurers. Navigator and so on.
In fact, the East India Company accounted for more than a quarter of the Caribbean's slave trade. It was enough for Lu Yuan to hit it in the name.
"Up", Misha said helplessly. She held in her hands the captain who had just been hanged. Found a wanted warrant for Lu Yuan. The amount on it has continued to climb to more than Lu Yuan's net worth. The tough-for-tat of the British East India Company showed no sign of canceling the wanted notice.
"Put it away," Lu Yuan said lightly, "The next slave trader can use it!" β
He walked up to the stern of the ship and clapped his hands loudly for everyone to look at him. "Three hours to clean up the battlefield! Deal with it according to the rules of the past! Priority was given to the rescue of the blacks, and the whites who surrendered were all locked up in the bottom compartment of that ship! Thirty days were left for the slave to be fed. He pointed to the slave ship next door, which was also smoking and had two broken masts. What are you doing standing? Act now! β
But. The crew stood motionless, with their heads bowed and not saying anything! Lu Yuan looked at these people indifferently...... The crew has changed many times. On the one hand, the high battle losses brought about by the constant fighting prevented many people from thinking about getting on the ship. More importantly, the current energy is mainly focused on the battle, Lu Yuan does not want ships, does not want prisoners, and even the "captured" slaves are left on the hidden desert island, and will not be sold again.
The drastic shrinkage of interests caused great dissatisfaction among the white crews! Lu Yuan's current composition on the ship. It's also a lot more complicated than before. Misha's recruited Indians and mixed Indians made up a part, and these people were staunch supporters of Lu Yuan, followed by some of the occasional black slaves turned sailors. The last of all are the white sailors who are drunk in the various ports, and this is still the largest number. After all, these are the people who have excellent navigation skills in the Caribbean.
Now that the white crew was showing signs of rebellion, the Indian crew immediately left what they were doing and gathered around! They were armed with knives. Protect the surroundings of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan looked at the performance of those white crew members expressionlessly. In fact, the Indian crews are no worse than the whites now, although they are lagging behind. But there is still no problem with intelligence. As long as you learn with your heart, the threshold on the Lu Yuan ship is low. These people get started very quickly.
It's just that Lu Yuan doesn't want this ship to become a "ship of revenge" for people of color, which will give some people the opportunity to intervene and expand the scale of its enemies. Therefore, Lu Yuan has always restrained himself from using all Indians and blacks, resulting in the sailors on his ship basically only swaying at the level of two-thirds full capacity. The actions against the Europeans, and the cruelty to the slave traders, led to the mass loss of the white crews. This was something that Lu Yuan could have predicted from the beginning.
It's just that the continuous decline in the quality of the crew also made him depressed, from the elite sailors in various ports, gradually reduced to the old, weak, sick and disabled in various ports, and he had to get drunk to pull him up...... I have to say - in this era, if you say that you oppose the slave trade and slavery, others will think that you have something wrong with your brain, because it is God's will - you have to say that there is freedom of belief, and those who do not believe in God also have the right to live! They will say that you are a heretic! - You have to say that those people are communicating the will of the Church, not the will of God! Then they will say that you are Calvinist...... In short, it's a bunch of indescribable 2Bs.
To put it bluntly, the truth is still within the range of artillery.
The Europeans crushed the Indians to the west, plundered the Africans to the south, and enslaved the Indians to the east, and they certainly felt that they were the loudest speakers, the most thought-provoking, and the highest God of faith. Except for the Europeans, the rest of the world are barbarians and heretics who must and preferably die. After massacring a large number of Indians, the generals of the European colonial armies asked the church to add the prefix "holy" to themselves, and they felt that there were fewer butchers who showed their faces in front of God?!
The white crew was equally silent, their heads bowed, and they exchanged glances with each other. These were originally August's men, and he watched these people secretly connect together, and turned around and left the deck directly! It's all a rabble that wants to fight against the boss? You're killing yourselves! August didn't have much sense of belonging to these temporarily recruited people, so he simply didn't see it out of mind and avoided it.
It's just that when he pushed open the door of the cabin, the face hidden in the shadows that no one could see still showed an unbearable expression.
"You're a heretic! You damn Oriental ......" an old sailor jumped out and shouted, he still holding a rum bottle in one hand, looking like an old drunkard who had drunk too much and had been picked up!
It's a pity that he was only halfway through his words. A cable hung down and broke his neck! His eyes bulged. He stared at Lu Yuan in horror, and a gurgling sound came out of his mouth. The body convulsed until it was out of breath! The painful process made every sailor on the deck feel cold in their hearts!
"Very convincing!" Lu Yuan applauded softly, and then said in anticipation, "Next ......" He looked around at the white crew members on the ship, as if he couldn't wait, waiting for the next one to die to come out. But who knew that he sighed wildly in his heart, and finally came to this point? These people can't be trusted anymore.
The white crew member who took the lead trembled with fright, and he lowered his body. A deep bow led the white crew behind him to bow together, showing a look of submission.
Lu Yuan nodded, and continued to order, "Put all the white captives in the bottom warehouse." In view of what you have just done, which is in the form of a rebellion...... Their food is halved! After speaking, Lu Yuan nodded, turned around and left in great strides. Even though it was food that slaves ate and pigs didn't eat, it was still a life-saving thing...... They must know the consequences of their actions.
There is the supervision of an Indian crew. This order will be executed without compromise!
"Captain, do you need manpower?" When Lu Yuan passed by the area where those black slaves gathered, a man who was already half hungry to death suddenly shouted, and Lu Yuan stopped and looked at him.
"How?"
"My brother and I want to get on your boat! Mr. He tried to straighten up and salute. Said in stammering English. If Lu Yuan didn't have a translation of the main god version, he might not have been able to understand what he meant at all. "I promise to listen to your command and fight hard!" Blacks are guaranteed.
Lu Yuan approached these people. I took a closer look. He found that among the group of slaves, the old men and children looked better. And a few women. On the contrary, it was the black man and "his brothers", one by one, who were so hungry that they could not breathe. Look like it's going to hang!
"Your name?"
"Reginald."
Lu Yuan nodded, "I will appoint you to be the adjutant of this ship, and these people will be under your control first." Then he shouted in the direction of the white crew, "Give them food, teach them to wipe the deck, don't play any tricks on me!" Today we are going to Lost Island overnight. β
After saying that, he strode into the cabin, it seems that in the future, he will have to use more black crews, but there are many more troublesome things...... If you think that they are all simple, kind, and grateful, then you are really wrong! One of the most famous of all the ills of blacks, big and small, is their lack of loyalty. In fact, every race has its own strengths and weaknesses, and those who don't understand this can't be a good captain.
"Misha, leave this to Daddy Helen and Kim! Come to my captain's room, I have something to discuss with you. When passing by the main mast, Lu Yuan said a word to Misha, who was counting the loot there. After the war, Lu Yuan urgently needed to vent some excess emotions, and men probably did the same. The difference is that as a captain, he has women, while others can only choose between DIY and churning.
Especially tonight, he had to sail alone through the fog and reefs, and take a hidden passage to Lost Island that only he knew.
It was a hidden place where even on the 21st had not yet found a safe way to get to the island! Lu Yuan put all the rescued slaves on this island, leaving some food and seeds for them to fend for themselves.
Lest you save people here, turn around and be enslaved by other people, the indiscriminate perception of "people of color are slaves" in the Caribbean is very disgusting.
These people have settled on the island, they have built houses, cultivated fields, and built small boats to fish nearby. The island has fresh water and forests, as well as plenty of space for them to survive, just like a paradise.
The free slaves also built a small harbor under the cliffs of the island, where fishing boats and the "Maria" could enter and leave the port, but if they wanted to actually go to sea, they could only count on Lu Yuan's mysterious route, but Lu Yuan had no intention of telling anyone. The Maria was damaged this time and needed some repairs. There is Xiaoji, a carpenter who wants money to die, and Lu Yuan is not worried about repairing the ship, he is only worried about his money bag.

Walking into the captain's room, Lu Yuan was stunned to see that Elizabeth. Swan was hunched on his desk and wept, and most of his sexuality dissipated at once.
Seeing him come in, Elizabeth stood up angrily. His hands were supporting the table with his hands, and his beautiful eyes with teardrops were staring at him without giving an inch!
Lu Yuan stared carefully at Elizabeth's face. Distinguish her expression...... There's some grievance, there's some anger, there's more. It's sad and puzzled - it's about Lu Yuan's extremely vicious behavior that he can't understand!
"How can you do this to me?! How can you do this to me?! "She cried and cried out!" How can you ...... Such...... You're even more brutal than Nero! Ivan the Terrible is also beyond your reach! You have to know the way, you have to know the way...... Those whom you put to death! Those merchants who died because of you! They, they also have their own families, their own wives and children! Her sadness made her choke up and couldn't say any more! She could only hold back her whimpering with anger, and landed far away with angry eyes that did not give in. "They...... They are all from the same country as me, how can you not consider my feelings at all! β
"So, you're telling me, is there still slavery among whites?! Don't the Indians you plunder have families? Don't those blacks have families? Lu Yuan ignored her crying. Unmoved, he poked directly, "Me! Lu Yuan! Looted here from the Far East by the East India Company! Isn't there a family?! β
Elizabeth's long mouth was sluggish, and she didn't know how to tell the difference.
Blacks, Indians, she can ignore. However, Lu Yuan ...... A knowledgeable scholar, an oriental nobleman with outstanding temperament, a magician with mysterious powers, an adventurer with legendary experience, and an expert in magical naval warfare...... This is a resume that is proud of European royal families! You must not be treated like a slave! She thought for a long time about the reason. In the end, he could only dryly say, "But you are not God's people...... You are infidels......" Elizabeth whispered timidly, for fear that Lu Yuan would really hear it.
"Believe it or not. I'm going to find that god of yours and kill you! Lu Yuan glared, walked in front of Elizabeth and looked down at her, and said viciously.
There is a god in this world. In other words, it is possible that God that guy is real! A Feren magician like Lu Yuan is the ultimate dream of arcane art. Every family has inherited a "secret book" of the God of Slaughter. I don't know if it's good or not, because there are really few mages who have succeeded. But hey, you can still do it with a face! The gods of Feron. It's not once or twice that I've been slapped in the face by a magician, I'm used to it.
"You! You! Woo woo~~" Elizabeth Pear Blossom trembled and pointed at him, and finally sat down like a sigh of relief, and cried loudly. "You murder me! You're bullying me! I'm going to Guaputillo! I'm going back to Europe! I never want to see you again! Die! β
At this time, Misha had just changed into women's clothes and walked in, looking at all this in amazement. She covered her clothes a little embarrassedly, covering the leaked spring light, and she didn't know what to do.
At this time, Lu Yuan saw Misha coming in in a slender new coat, only tying her clothes with a belt, and immediately knew that she must not be wearing anything inside! His brain suddenly dizzy, and the flame that had cooled slightly before was burning again, so he still cared about Elizabeth?!
When she found out that Misha actually came in half-naked, Elizabeth's face suddenly turned red! She looked at Misha viciously, and was about to speak. Lu Yuan saw that Elizabeth was going crazy and was about to quarrel with Misha again, and her sharp-tongued words would definitely stir up this wonderful date.
So Lu Yuan raised his finger very simply and pointed at Elizabeth, "Toast and don't eat and drink!" You've now been demoted to a meat ticket again! Accept the punishment of the uncle! As he spoke, a rope jumped up and tied Elizabeth neatly into a shameful posture. With his legs spread out, his calves and arms fixed together, he couldn't move up and down, so he could only sit on the captain's table with his body slightly back, and face Lu Yuan and them separately.
"You're tying me up again! Bastard! Let me go! Otherwise...... Hmm~Hmm~" Elizabeth, who was talking cruelly, was jumped into her mouth by a small ball with air holes, and the strap on the ball was automatically fixed behind her head, blocking her words back. She whined and screamed angrily, tears rolling in her eyes.
"It's finally clean!" Lu Yuan rubbed his ears and turned around to hug Misha, "Let's hurry up, there is only one hour left before we enter the Lost Island Passage, and we will solve it quickly!" β
"Hmm", Misha was kissed by him looking down. When Misha participated in the previous kind of short-handed jumping battles, shooting close to the artillery, and the kind of blood-boiling battles, her body was already very wet, and her eyes were almost on fire in the second half of the year. When he beckoned into the captain's room, Misha immediately hurriedly rinsed, wrapped a coat and came in, not even wearing underwear. But......
"Don't move, Elizabeth is still ......" Misha's body was as soft as cotton, only verbally protesting, and her hand had already unbuttoned Lu Yuan.
"Let her watch! Anyway, she's seen it too......" Lu Yuanhou said anxiously, "She continues to be a meat ticket now!" If it's long-winded, I'll do it too! He threatened Elizabeth, and then Misha lifted her feet on the table, lifted up her clothes, and pushed in......
Misha felt the familiar fullness and couldn't help but moan and look up, just in time to see Elizabeth sitting at the table in front of her, looking at her with horrified eyes. Although Elizabeth was still dressed, the shameful posture of parting her thighs was only a thin skirt, which was tightly tied to her thighs by a rope, showing her hidden silhouette clearly in front of Misha.
Misha moaned and groaned rapidly, and she suddenly smiled as she looked at the wet marks that quickly appeared and expanded in front of her.
She untied the ball that restricted Elizabeth from speaking, but her fingers reached for the place that parted in front of her.
"No~Don't~" Elizabeth's voice trembled and refused, and then her soft mouth was blocked again.
This time, it's Misha's burning red lips. (To be continued......)
