An old seven-star tanta sailed into the harbor of Havana without even attracting the attention of the tax officer.

He merely looked at the corn kernels in the barrels on board, and demanded a silver coin from the young owner, and with a wave of his hand drove his ship to the corner of the dock to make room for the big ship behind. The ship's cargo was scattered there, and the barrels were stamped with the Santiago label, and there were thousands of barrels of grain brought in from there every day. Food was not valuable, and taxes were low to ensure the supply of food in Havana, which became a major transportation commodity for the small boat owners.

The young shipowner tied the boat to a stake, checked his cargo with the port authority, and then wandered around the port district of Havana with his Indian slaves.

"Helen's Bar", without the rendering of night lights, this dilapidated small bar looks even more inconspicuous.

When Mixia walked in with Lu Yuan, it might have been daytime. There were hardly any people in the bar. "Go and order me a glass of wine and get some food. My servant. Misha smiled and instructed Lu Yuan, and he chose a seat on the side and sat down.

"Do as you command. Boss. Wearing clothes with Indian characteristics, Lu Yuan also smiled and agreed, and then went to the bar and ordered a lot of things for the two of them.

Seeing Lu Yuan for the first time, the bar owner Helen was a little surprised. The servant was obviously very knowledgeable, and he ordered all the delicious and inexpensive things in the bar...... But he and his master, Helen had to think that it was evident that it was the first time he had seen him.

"Introduced by an acquaintance? Your host seems to be a generous fellow! Looking at the large pile of food, Boss Helen still sighed, that thin young man didn't seem to be able to eat so much. He apparently intended to let his Indian slaves enjoy it.

"It's the point of acquaintances. Maybe you remember? My boss's sister, Misha, used to be a barmaid at your place......" Lu Yuan picked up a large pile of food and staggered back. When he was on the boat, he could barely eat any food, which made him really hungry. Coming here from Port-au-Prince is not as close as Trinidad, and Lu Yuan drove for two whole days.

"Really? Wow~ Can I get to know your master? Helen followed him with a twinkle in her eyes, "You say he's Misha's brother?" They look alike! Hi! Hello! I am...... Oh, your sister's ...... Oh......"

Lu Yuan put down the big plate. Without hesitation, he grabbed a large piece of grilled seafood and put it in his mouth, it seemed to be something like a shell, Lu Yuan's cooking skills did not involve marine life, especially most of the extinct marine life in the 21st century. So he didn't recognize it. But...... Just like the tone of Helende's boss, wow~ It's so delicious!

Eating good food always makes people feel good, think about it. Even Nana likes food, and Lu Yuan doesn't eat when he cultivates immortals. Indicate sneering! Life is a great desire.

"Come on! Dog & Mother's! "Facing the boss Helende with an exaggerated expression, Misha directly replaced it with a female voice." Don't tell me you didn't recognize it! Decay. ”

"Ha Luha," Helen happily rubbed her hands on her apron, "welcome back!" Misha, I've always ...... your position Damn it! He saw a rotating gold coin suddenly appear on the tip of Misha's finger, and scolded angrily! Misha can take out the gold coins at will, obviously not going to continue with him. "And you're coming back this time?"

"Hey, Helend, don't play dumb." Misha covered her forehead helplessly. An old boss from the past is pretending to be Alzheimer's; A man now, like a starving ghost, is eating like a starving ghost...... I can't live this day!

"Okay," Helen had to put away her smile, "it seems that you are in a lot of trouble." Several groups of people have been staring at your residence lately, and if I were you......" he shook his head, "I won't go back." You're right to come to me first! You know, old Helen can be trusted! ”

"So, what's going on with that Edward? It's the one I asked you about before. "The reason why Misha didn't take Lu Yuan home directly is because it has been several days since the incident, and the news should have come back a long time ago, and the family is not safe. The first thing she cares about is how her brother is doing, and the second thing she cares about is the good things at home that can't be eaten.

"That guy you have a crush on? Ha Luha, that guy is an unlucky guy! It is said that he made a great contribution when Morgan attacked, but he was swallowed up and pushed another person out. ”

"Then I...... And Edward, where is he now?! Misha hurriedly asked.

"I heard he left with Morgan!" Helende broke another shocking news, "I heard that Morgan was beaten by him when he was attacking, so his command ability was recognized by Morgan!" Therefore, after Morgan knew that he was unlucky, he spent a lot of money to get him out of the city, and almost everyone in the port knew about it! It is said that Governor LeBron smashed several wine glasses for Edward after knowing the small actions of the people below!

Misha, you look at a man's eyes really good! He pouted his mouth towards Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan's eating appearance, as a chef, he appreciated it very much! When Misha looked at the man, the lingering friendship couldn't be restrained at all, and Helen understood it at a glance.

"Ahh Misha let out a long breath, covered her face with her hands, propped her elbows on the table, and bowed her head sadly. I can't go back to my home, and my relatives have lost contact...... This made her very frustrated. After thinking of having no worries. I may not set foot in Havana again for many years, and the excitement of being a pirate is the same. It was gradually replaced by sadness.

This time in Port-au-Prince, the sale of stolen goods, with the help of Misha's "magic tricks". It became surprisingly smooth. As long as the mark of each merchant is erased by magic, these goods can be dumped as ordinary goods at a slightly lower price! In a large port like Port-au-Prince, it's easy to carry two ships of cargo.

As a result, their harvest was much greater than expected, and Misha received more pesos.

The note worth 20,000 pesos in her pocket, she wanted to hand it over to Edward herself, and Edward, who has been working hard to revive the family, must be very happy! But......

"Don't worry", a large gentle hand pressed on her head, "Edward, that guy is a real nobleman!" Lu Yuan stretched out his left hand. Putting Misha in his arms, "For the honor of the family, he can't be a pirate." Morgan is a very conceited person, and for Edward, he must try his best to get him to take refuge. He would most likely have recommended Edward to the governor of a British port...... It shouldn't be hard to find him. When the time comes, we'll just have to follow along...... And it's a good thing that he is back in the UK to play, the future of the ocean belongs to the UK! ”

Misha lay quietly in his arms, and after a while, she said something faintly. "Can't you stop eating while you're hugging me?!"

Lu Yuanzheng was holding a large crab claw to his mouth, and when he heard Misha's words, he could only stop in embarrassment. But he was holding a crab claw. Looks even more comical. Your sister's! It's so delicious! How did he make this ordinary seafood so good?!

"You really like it?" Misha lifted her head slightly from his arms, blue eyes looking at him curiously. Misha thinks she may have eaten too many times, but she just feels that she is used to the taste. It didn't feel particularly delicious.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"Hey! Decay! Do you want to get on board? We need a good cook! Misha shouted directly to Helen, who was back at the counter.

"Come on, Misha. Don't make fun of the elderly. You know my wish, that's a lot of money...... Oh. Jesus is above! You dug up LeBron's vault?! He looked at the slip in front of him with 20,000 pesos written on it, and his heart was about to jump out!

*******

A few days later, outside of a small estate outside of Havana, Helen walked with them with tears that had not yet been wiped away.

When Boss Helen was younger, he was also a captain. It's just that his misfortune is that the first time he drove his own boat out to sea, he accidentally broke into a rare storm because of a shortcut. Although he survived, he was saddled with a huge debt, and more than two dozen orphans and widows left behind after the death of the crew.

Later, he opened a small bar, trying to pay off his debts while helping the two dozen families.

All the memories of the sea are the seafood and the rudder hanging from the door of the bar, reminding him of memories that he can't forget.

It's just that today, after paying off his debts and settling down more than two dozen families, he felt so easy for the first time.

Back at sea? Seems pretty good too!

……

"Wait, that's our ship, what are they doing?" Misha said, pointing to where they parked the boat.

Lu Yuan, who was thinking about things, looked up, showing a complicated expression of crying and laughing, he thought for a while, and still said, "Let's go around to the back, let's listen to what is going on first." ”

The three men walked around the house and approached the men who were standing in front of his tanta boat.

"Dragon dog, are you really sure that this is the ship?!" A boy's voice said.

That's right, standing in front of the ship is the former tax soldier Dragon Dog (Doug. Drag), and his good buddies. At this time, it was the freckled boy who seemed to be the most clever and liked to joke the most. "We're going to resign with you, but we don't want to stop being a joke or something......

"Don't worry, Kona! Rest assured, friends! I promise this is the smuggler's ship! I saw him step off this ship with my own eyes. Although he did take advantage of my kindness and deceived me twice, he didn't want to hide from my dragon dog's eyes forever! The dragon dog explained to his friends sincerely.

"All right," agreed the boy named Koena, first, "and what are we going to do?" Report to Chief Charles? ”

"Nope! I don't have the face to see him now! If he salutes me. I'd rather jump off the Morro Fortress! "The dragon dog looks extremely depressed!" Alright, guys. Let's just go up like this and check what is missing. Just go and prepare...... I really wish I could get out of Havana soon, I can't stay here for a quarter of an hour! Thank you! Xie Lu, thank you for accompanying me, otherwise I would be alone, and I really wouldn't be able to get this big guy away! ”

He patted the bow of the ship leaning on the shore, even if it was only a seven-star boat with a load of three tons, but after all, it was a sea ship, and there was still a height of one person. "Now, all go up! Leave the smugglers alone. He'll run away on his own when he sees me, he owes me a boat...... Oh, that boat looks pretty much the same as this one, no! It's just like the same one! Oh my God, Kou, go see the bottom of the boat right now! ”

He jerked back the hand that had touched the boat, as if it would sink if he touched it any more.

Dragon Dog and his companions were busy shouting and screaming, and the three of them were dumbfounded. Misha looked at Lu Yuan helplessly, and punched him with a "bump". "You always like to play tricks! Now we have to find another ship to Port-au-Prince. ”

"Not bad!" Helen, who had come out of the past, joked with some lightheartedness, "At least you want me to be the cook, not this boat." I bet there's no kitchen up there. ”

Lu Yuan touched his chin and felt fate. It's amazing! If nothing else, he remembered that the girlfriend of the dragon dog seemed to be Elizabeth's best friend Helena? Yes...... The prototype of the thing. He almost guessed it! It's so much fun!

"Let's keep watching!" Lu Yuanxing thumped his hands, "I promise with a man's seventh sense." There's a lot going on here! ”

******

After a while, a few friends gathered on the deck again.

"There was water and food for about five or six days. Nothing else is missing, and I think the ship is ready to go to sea......" Koner explained the ship's reserves in the same way, and the young men listened to it.

It sounded like Kona was the one who knew the most about sailing among them.

"But shouldn't there be a cannon? What if we run into pirates? "One person voiced his concerns.

"What are you afraid of!" Kona interjected with a grin, "We've got dragon dogs!" You know, he single-handedly rushed into the sea, slaughtered fifty pirates, and captured a galleon! ”

"Please stop making fun of me! Cole. The dragon dog pulled down his helmet in frustration and covered his face. God knows whose record they counted on my head...... When my dad called me Charge Commander, I wished he could strangle me with a rope! ”

"Well, I apologize!" Koner raised his hand, signaling that he had gone too far, and then explained to the rest of his friends, "Normally, no pirate would want to attack this kind of small boat, because there is too little oil and water, and they prefer merchant ships." And our ship is too small to fit any artillery. If you're not at ease, bring your halberd, but if you do encounter pirates, my advice is...... Let them grab as much as they want, and don't resist! ”

But at this time, no one listened to him anymore.

The other friends, everyone is squeezing their eyebrows at the dragon dog, "dragon dog" "Dragon dog, your goddess is here." "Hehe, let's go......"

When the dragon dog turned back from the ship, he saw Elizabeth's best friend Helena, the daughter of the commander of the Caribbean Navy of the Spanish Empire, standing on the edge of a wooden house under the ship, looking at him with a sad expression. The eyes that were originally beautiful are now swollen and thin, obviously they have just cried again.

"Go, Dragon Dog! Ah no, Captain. Kona smiled and nudged the embarrassed dragon dog.

"Okay, I'll appoint Xiao Kou as the first mate, you will be responsible for the preparations before going to sea, and I will be back immediately!" The dragon dog gave Kona a push, jumped off the boat, and strode towards Helena.

Two crazy men and women looked at each other quietly in front of the cabin. I didn't notice that just behind the wooden house, there were three people watching as if they were watching a play.

"Are you really going to leave me?" As Helena spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks again. Although she has always played the role of an older sister, at this moment, she looks like a weak little girl who has been bullied.

On the contrary, the dragon dog, who stood straight and had a decision in his heart, looked like he had suddenly grown up several years old.

"Not to leave you......" The dragon dog shook his head in denial. He reached out and gently wiped the tears from his inner cheek. Rubbing his fingers lightly on it, "Just leave Havana temporarily." Nene. I'll be back as long as ......"

"Don't leave!" Helena shook her head violently, her hands tightly gripping the hand that the dragon dog caressed her cheek, "Don't leave! Don't leave, okay?! I promise to get them to cancel all the awards! The promotion is canceled, too! I don't care if you're a little patrolman, dog, I really don't care!

And I promise I'm just letting Edward give you some of the credit! You know, I have some relationship with him, and I can barely be a friend of a friend. But...... When things get to this point, it's all McLaren's bastard! He doesn't know where he found it, and he planted all the credit for all that mess on you! That's it. That's ......"

Speaking of this, even Helena was embarrassed, her face was red, and her voice was like a mosquito humming, "That's why you were promoted to commodore ......"

Among the three people in the back, his hearing was excellent, and Lu Yuan, the only one who could hear clearly, almost didn't squirt out! Commodore Admiral?! Helena's father, the commander-in-chief of the entire Spanish fleet in the Caribbean, was Vice Admiral...... Is this the rhythm of asking a son-in-law to be a deputy commander?!

There is no doubt that such a foolish order must have been made by Helena, who was in a hurry to marry a little loverβ€”but well. She's now pushed it all to some of the best hapless guys who are being unlucky, Mr. McLaren.

Sisters, you've worked hard!

Misha, who didn't hear clearly, desperately shook Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan had no choice but to repeat it. As a result, Misha, who was laughing wildly, had to bite Lu Yuan's shoulder hard to prevent herself from making a sound. Even Boss Helende had to bite her hand and couldn't stop laughing!

That's a commodore admiral!

Pay a small boat to watch such a wonderful play. It's so worth it!

The dragon dog covered his face, he really didn't want to hear the words of that title! When his immediate boss saluted him. He just wanted to find a cliff to jump off or a beach to get into. And never come out for the rest of your life. After taking a few deep breaths, he solemnly held Helena's shoulders and looked into her eyes with the most sincere gaze, "Nene, listen to me, okay?" Nenen! ”

"Hmm." Extremely shy by his burning gaze, Helena was reluctant to look away.

"Nene, I know Edward, even though we are not friends. In the Guard, everyone knew Edward, just like ...... Everyone knows me, we both grew up in Havana. Of course," he shrugged, "now all of Havana knows me." No, no, no, no......" he pressed his finger to Helena's lips, "Please don't stop, I'm not blaming you, Ne. I never blamed you. Let me finish my words, this is a boy who has just understood the love of love, and wants to say something to his lover. ”

Friends are in the distance, and the dragon dog boldly says something that makes each other blush.

"Edward became a hero! Although he was not rewarded for it, his friends, his girls, were all proud of him! ”

(Lu Yuan covered Misha's mouth to stop this brother from rushing out of the gang and asking who "Edward's girl" was!) οΌ‰

"Instead, I stole his credit, and couldn't stand up in the guardβ€”my friends laughed at me, my father was disappointed in me, and more people were saved by Edward...... They hate me! I had no pride, only a deep sense of loss, feeling like a thief. My girls won't be proud of me, that's the difference! Nene, that's the difference!

I've grown up! Nene, as much as I wish I would be called a 'dog' by you for the rest of my life, I'm already a man! I want to grow up to be like my father, and I want to be able to carry the whole sky! I want to be able to do something great! I want my Nene, my father, and my friends to be proud of me! Proud of what I have done!

I even hope that one day, I can stand in front of Edward and say to him, I'm sorry! On an equal footing! With considerable achievement! ”

The dragon dog said, remembering the days when he was tormented in hell during this time, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Helena is even more crying pear blossoms with rain.

The dragon dog kissed without saying anything......

*********

On the dock, Helena, who had regained her strength, hid on the edge of the hut and watched as the dragon dog untied the cable and jumped onto the tanta sailboat.

Although he also wanted to have a handsome goodbye...... But actually. They made a mess of their first voyage to sea - the sails and ropes were mixed together, and they tried to prop up the shore. It hit another merchant ship on the side...... So he and his friends are now scrambling to deal with it.

Even Helena on the shore was embarrassed by them. laughed out loud, which alleviated the pain of parting.

"Hey! You've hit my 'Aerlenheim'! A crisp voice came, so that several busy friends on the ship couldn't help but raise their heads, looking for where this beautiful sound came from.

"Look over here! You impudent people! The nice voice reprimanded with an even more rude attitude, which made the young man angry. But when they looked up, they saw the big boat beside them, and the one in the emerald green robe and the emerald green hat with a white feather shaking on it. The lively girl grew her mouth in surprise.

They all seemed to be thinking, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" The faces of the teenagers turned red.

When the girl saw their embarrassment, she giggled and pounded the boat, and the flowers and branches trembled so much that the boys were worried that she would fall. Her laughter was crisp and lively, spreading far away from the docks, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but be in a happy mood.

The teenagers looked at each other and couldn't help but guess. What is such a beautiful girl doing on the ship? Come play? Is it Havana? How come I haven't seen it before?

"Lilu~!" , A man's voice sounded from inside the big boat, and his voice was a little helpless. "Don't tease people casually, and don't get into trouble."

Zhilu said. Zhilu Dao! The girl named Lilu shouted twice in the direction of the boat, and then complained in a loud voice, "Apparently they hit my 'Aerenheim'." ”

"That. I apologize! "As the captain of the ship, the dragon dog had to stand up and take responsibility. He apologized to the girl and wiped his sleeve twice on the part where he had been hit. However, the "Alenheim", although it looks a little old. But the materials for the shipbuilding are clearly very good, there are no traces of collisions at all.

"This is our first time at sea...... You know, there's a bit of confusion. Ryagou explained a little.

"Well, I see! Are you a captain? The girl Lilu nodded vigorously, and comforted her with a very old qualification, "It's like this for the first time when you go to sea, and I'm pretty much the same!" I'll just have to wait until you get used to it. Then I'll test you, do you bring food and water? Do you know what the weather has been like in the last few days? Is the ballast stone ready? What about fruit and rum? Windproof lights? ……”

The dragon dog nodded his head one by one, these were all checked by him and his partners, and the girl was really a veteran of sailing, "You are so good, you know so much!" The dragon dog said admiringly.

"Of course! I know the sea as well as my hometown! Lilu cocked her chin proudly, "Do you like sailing?" ”

"Of course! My dad is a seafarer, and he's the most legendary stormtrooper in Havana! You...... Is it Havana? Haven't seen you before? You know, in Havana, they usually don't allow women on boats! ”

"That's fallacies!" The girl glared at the equally beautiful green eyes and accused, "I am a European, and I am coming to the New World for the first time. On our side, what a man can do, a woman can do! ”

"But we can pee standing up!" Teenage Koner disagreed.

The girl made a disdainful expression, glanced at him cutely, and said two words in her nose, "Childish!" ”

The Kou was confirmed to be sunk......

"Doug. Drag, you can call me Dragon Dog, nice to meet you! Dragon Dog introduced himself and diverted the topic to make Xiao Kou less embarrassed.

"Lilu. Argot, I'm the owner of the Argot Chamber of Commerce! Captain of the Alenheim! You can call me Captain Argot! The girl held her head high and announced heroically!

"Good, that's amazing!" The dragon dog grew its mouth and looked at the proud girl with adoration. So young, he is actually the captain of a big ship and the owner of a merchant! From Far Away Europe...... It's like a fantasy legend!

"Dragon dog! I'm on board! A woman who had been watching them "flirting and scolding" and her feelings "heating up rapidly" couldn't help but run out and shouted loudly at the boat!

*******

When the ship went to sea, Helena was arranged to rest in the captain's room, and several tired teenagers sat on the deck back to back, looking at the vast sea, and couldn't help but be satisfied!

"Drink! You have to drink rum at this time! A few people were arguing, and some people ran to the bottom warehouse to rum that Lu Yuan had stored there.

"Thank you!" Staying on the deck, the dragon dog quietly bumped Xiao Kou with his elbow and thanked him in a low voice, "If it weren't for your method, Nene would definitely not want to elope with me...... Then it will be like what my dad said - even if you are successful and come back to find that the woman has changed her mind, then the achievement will have a P use! ”

"Huh...... What's the solution? "Xiao Kou's confused stall hand.

"That's what you said yesterday? Hire a woman to chat with me intimately, make Nene go crazy with jealousy, and she'll be desperate to get on board...... I thought you were joking! I didn't expect you to actually do it! What a good brother! ”

"But I'm kidding......" Kou replied.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and then they hugged their heads together and slammed into each other!

"So that beautiful angel-like girl was really chatting with me happily before?! Why do I want to get Nene on board!!! (To be continued......)
