Chapter 40: Will Apprenticeship

But not long after Lan Ze left the Governor's Palace, an eleven or twelve-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, waving his arms and panting, ran over, shouting in his mouth: "Master Lan Ze, Master Lan Ze, wait for me, wait for me......"

Will, the captain of the future flying Dutchman, a brave and handsome captain, but at this time Will was just an eleven or twelve-year-old little Zhengtai, turned his head to see Will running over in a hurry, Lan Ze touched Will's hair, and looked at Will helplessly: "How many times have I told you?" I just saved you, but I never said I would take you as an apprentice. ”

"Don't!" Will pouted, and Jin Doudou couldn't help but fall, but his eyes were very firm: "Master Lan Ze, you teach me swordsmanship, I want to learn, I want to kill pirates!" ”

"No, you're still too young, someone will teach you in the future, and haven't you also learned? Why did you come to me? Lan Ze looked at Will helplessly, and once again refused Will's request.

"However, I don't learn as well as Teacher Lan Ze." Little Will looked at Lan Ze aggrievedly.

Looking at Will's firm eyes, Lan Ze was speechless, the origin of the matter happened more than ten days ago, when Lan Ze and Will had just been rescued from the sea, although Lan Ze had thick bones and showed a very high moral level, but where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, because of the special care of Governor Swan, some people were jealous of Lan Ze.

The first provocation of Lan Ze can be considered a joke, but if the second provocation, heheda, Lan Ze will tell you how to behave!

Although Lan Ze is very weak, weak to the point that his strength is not one in ten, Lan Ze is a man with advanced fighting skills and advanced shooting after all!

Facing the sailor who provoked him on the opposite side, Lan Ze rushed forward, leaned on his iron back, and the sailor who provoked Lan Ze was knocked out, holding the sailor's wrist by the way, pinching and twisting, a generally sharp iron sword was snatched down by Lan Ze, and the sword was swung away, and the sailor only felt that his throat was cold, and a touch of blood was spilled, and the threat of death instantly made the sailor's face like gold paper.

Throwing down the iron sword, under the special force technique, the iron sword was nailed to the deck next to the sailor, and Bluetooth told the sailor in an extremely flat voice: "Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with, don't look for excitement!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you like a dog! ”

Lan Ze's superb martial arts skills surprised Xiao Wei very much, this man who looked weak was so powerful? This made Xiao Wei feel a sense of admiration in his heart, but the reason why Xiao Wei really planned to worship Lan Ze as a teacher was because in the next few days, from time to time, someone would come to learn from Lan Ze, but without exception, no matter who it was, they would be defeated by Lan Ze with a sword.

In fact, Lan Ze was not so powerful at that time, just because most of the people on the ship were ordinary people, and there were not many who had seen blood, and most of the moves were wild fox Zen, which was not as good as Lan Ze's systematic combat skills, and secondly, Lan Ze's reaction ability far exceeded these ordinary people, after all, he used to be a vampire with a quarter of a second speed of sound, and his reaction speed was much stronger than that of humans.

Because of this, Little Will has always wanted to learn martial arts with Lan Ze, but Lan Ze has no interest in teaching Little Will, Will's talent is good, as the future Flying Dutchman Captain, he has several abilities such as advanced navigation, advanced fighting, and advanced strength, among which the most exciting thing for Lan Ze is the control of the Flying Dutchman, but after he understood, Lan Ze gave up, this is a devil's contract, although you can get the flying Dutchman, but also the corresponding loss of freedom, immortality is exciting, But he is already a vampire, and he is originally a long-lived race.

If Lan Ze needed an apprentice, Will was a good candidate, but apparently he didn't need a drag bottle.

But seeing Will's pleading and insistent eyes, Lan Ze's heart softened and sighed: "Forget it, I'll stay around, if it's okay to be idle, you can come over." I'll teach you a trick or two, but I'm not your master. ”

"Oh yes!" Little Will jumped up excitedly and kissed Lan Ze: "Great!" Thank you, Master Lanze! ”

"I'm not your master! And don't call me master! You can call me Brother Lan Ze, or Lord Lan Ze" Lan Ze looked at Little Will helplessly.

"Okay, Master Lan Ze." Will replied excitedly.

"......" Lan Ze was speechless and lost E Will, touching his forehead, the Will in his memory is not like this, where is the steady, witty and brave Captain Will?

That afternoon, after Lan Ze taught Will a few simple power techniques, he sent Will away, although these power skills were simple, but they were enough for Will to practice for a month or two.

In the next few days, Lan Ze's life was quite comfortable, drinking every day, and then going to the forest to catch food and nourish his body, occasionally going to Xiao Will for two pointers, and by the way investigating the information of the marauder Carter, but as Lan Ze got more and more information, the corners of Lan Ze's mouth smiled more and more.

Sure enough, before Lan Ze had time to provoke the anger of both sides, a carriage drawn by four white horses drove into the Governor's Palace, Lan Ze knew that this carriage was one of the iconic objects of Carter, a marauder who lived in the royal docks, obviously the appearance of Governor Swan made Carter very uneasy, Carter had been waiting for more than ten days, although he did not find any signs of the navy, but Carter, who was cautious and suspicious by nature, was already a little unbreathable, Carter decided to have a showdown with this aristocratic lord who suddenly appeared.

The carriage stopped, Carter was a tall middle-aged white man of nearly fifty years old, his gray hair was meticulously groomed, his rich head ointment sprinkled with a pungent smell, his slightly chubby face was already deeply wrinkled, his eyes were a little cold, his slender eyebrows were like two poisonous snakes, there was a beautiful pendant on his chest, and there was a huge gold ring on his thumb, which depicted a sinister and cunning jackal, which made people inexplicably uncomfortable after looking at it, but in general, looking at this appearance, coupled with a set of new London aristocratic clothes, He is also a successful upper-class person.

Next to Carter the Marauder is his favorite son Vulture, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, at the peak of his life, strong muscles, tall body, under the sun, a little red skin, unlike Carter, the vulture's momentum is very obvious, that kind of ruthless, fierce and greedy look, even if he is wearing a gorgeous costume, he can't stop it.

If Lan Ze is to describe Carter as a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, then the vulture is a hungry wolf, a vicious wolf that can never be fed.

Compared to the two, Governor Swan's momentum is much weaker.

What the two sides talked about, Lan Ze didn't know, and he didn't need to know, because Carter's son Vulture's murderous aura was enough to explain everything, the two of them had a white face and a box of black faces, if it weren't for Lan Ze, Governor Swan would definitely be stunned by the scare at this time.

So after the Marauder Cullen and his son Vulture left with a smile on their faces, Governor Swann found Lan Ze that night.

Under the leadership of a guard, Lan Ze came to the reception hall, looking at the face of Governor Swann Tie Qing, Lan Ze was happy, but his face was still silent, and he said a little heavily: "Hello, Governor Swan, although I already have a hunch, I still feel very sad about this matter. ”

"Lan Ze, you're here, you're right! Damn it! These damned colonists! Damn natives! How dare they threaten me! Damn it! This is contempt for my rights, for the British Empire! Who do they think they are? I'm going to kill them! I'm going to have the Empire send an army to kill these daring guys! Governor Swan roared with an ugly face, as the governor of the surrounding sea, as a noble nobleman, he was actually threatened by a colonist who should have been a death row prisoner! This made Governor Swan feel like he had been slapped in the face, and his face ached.

Seeing the angry and somewhat hysterical Governor Swan, Lan Ze shook his head and looked at Governor Swan calmly: "I'm sorry, Lord Governor, although I don't want to hit you, I must say that we can't contact the British Empire now, Carter won't let us pass on the news, at least in the past few years." ”

"What? You say that Carter guy dares to intercept my letters? Governor Swan's face changed, and he looked at Lan Ze with some horror.

Lan Ze smiled bitterly: "If I were Carter, if I were that marauder, in order to prevent the suppression of the British Empire, I would not let any information unfavorable to me be transmitted to the British Empire." ”

"Damn it!" Governor Swan's face was very ugly, but after seeing Lan Ze, he asked with some anticipation in his eyes, "Lan Ze, what are your plans?" ”

"I'm sorry, if I could have easily solved this problem ten days ago, or even before Carter didn't come to the Governor's Palace, but now it's a bit of a hassle." Lan Ze shook his head, indicating that it was a little tricky.

"You mean to say that Carter can be solved?" Governor Swan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lan Ze expectantly.

"It's possible, after all, there is too much difference between the two sides now, but if I am given some time, I believe it should be possible." Lan Ze nodded, the armed force of three thousand people is terrifying, but it depends on who is right.

"How long will it take you?" Governor Swan looked at Lan Ze expectantly, in fact, if it wasn't for the helplessness, Governor Swan didn't want to do this, after all, Lan Ze himself was not familiar with it, but Lan Ze was the only person he could help him now.

"Three years." Lan Ze thought for a moment and said a number, which made Governor Swan frown a little, with a hint of anticipation: "Can you hurry up?" ”

"Two years is fine." Lan Ze hesitated for a moment, and then said another number.

"Two years? It's still a little slow, can it be faster? Governor Swan looked at Ranzer expectantly, but this time Ranzer disappointed him, shaking his head and seeing that he had vetoed Governor Swan's proposal.
