Chapter Twenty-Nine: Interrogation of the Water Thieves

The three captives were all very tough, but Bai Qi not only learned the "interrogation technique", but also improved this skill to lv5 under Adrian's construction, not to mention that Barian also mastered a very practical first-level spell "Enchanting Humans".

Two of the captives, after being weakened by Bai Qi's interrogation skills, were easily influenced by Barrian's "seduction of humans" and poured out everything they knew.

The status of these two sailors is not low, they are the second mate and the boatswain of the pirate warship, and they know a lot of things.

What makes Bai Qi feel unlucky is that this Captain Will not only has the identity of a famous water thief, but is also a member of the most powerful Gelin family in the Sumeian city-state, and the reason why he became a water thief is actually to open up business with Blackwater City for the family.

He hijacked the Rummel family's ship, and then came to make a deal with Captain Will, which was completely self-defeating.

Both Ahan and Horin are civilian Chosen Warriors who serve the Greene family.

According to these two guys, in fact, many families in the major city-states have collaborators in Blackwater, or spokesmen like Captain Will.

The Rummel family and the Greene family are allies, so they are also traded with Captain Guò Will and Blackwater.

According to the confession of the two, after Captain Will pretended to be a water thief, he quickly fell in love with this kind of plundering career, while doing business for the family and Blackwater City, while robbing the merchant ships of rival city-states and families, in just three years, not only saved a family business that made people blush, but also gained a great reputation among the water thieves.

To the surprise of Bai Qi and the others, the most important captive, that is, the first mate on the pirate ship, even Barrian's seductive human was unable to pry his mouth open.

From the mouths of the second mate and the boatswain, Bai Qi learned that this first mate was actually a direct member of the Huo Lin family, and it was only because of his poor talent that he could not break through to become a chosen warrior after he was over thirty, so he was sent to serve as the first mate on this pirate ship.

However, this person is able to resist the influence of the enchanting human being, and his willpower is definitely far beyond ordinary people, once he can break through, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

In order to test the power of the spell to charm humans, Bai Qi once asked Barian to cast a spell on himself, and if he did not enter the state of the heart of a warrior, even he could barely resist this spell.

Bai Qi pulled out the second mate and the boatswain's diehard first mate, who couldn't stop threatening to confess, and tied them to the grove behind the wooden house.

After returning, the three of them asked a lot about Blackwater City from the second mate and the boatswain.

After making sure that the two of them had spit out everything they knew, Bai Qi wanted to kill the three water thieves, but he thought about it, he definitely couldn't give up this water thief warship, as soon as this ship appeared, the Gelin family would definitely know that it was a good thing he did, why didn't he make some trouble for the Gelin family.

Captain Will has become more and more bold as a water thief over the years, and even the ships of Leoni City have been plundered a lot, as long as he takes the three captives back to Leoni City, the Greene family, who are eager to clear their suspicions, will not dare to take revenge on themselves blatantly.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi trapped the three captives and asked Barrian to hypnotize them with a spell, which allowed Gander to throw the three captives into the hold.

After disposing of the prisoners, Bai Qi called Gunde again and asked him to call all the oars on both ships ashore.

He took out the food left by the pirates, feasted them on a feast, and then asked Gunder to direct the oarsmen to rebuild the pirate ship.

In order to arouse the enthusiasm of the oarsmen, Bai Qi promised that in the future, not only would he be full of food, but also that whoever showed good would have the opportunity to become a sailor's apprentice.

In order to convince the oarsmen of his word, he asked Barian to erase the slave marks on the faces of the four sailor apprentices promoted on the cargo ship in front of many oarsmen.

This act gave the oarsmen great hope, completely aroused their enthusiasm, and one by one they became full of energy.

After resting in Blackstone Bend for two days, Bai Qi asked people to move all the harvest of the fish-man tribe on the cargo ship to the pirate ship, and promoted Lenka to the first mate of the cargo ship, and let him lead the four oarsman slaves who had just erased the slave mark and were exceptionally promoted to official sailors to control the cargo ship together, and changed Gunde and Bode to the pirate ship with the same position.

Early in the morning of the third day, Bai Qi had the wooden house and the dock set on fire, and left Heishui Bay by boat.

To be honest, this river bay is very hidden, and there are a large number of underwater black stones blocking the mouth of the river bay, it is indeed a very good base, but Bai Qi has just killed the elder of the Gelin family, the most powerful family in Sumeia City, and it has ruined the big things of the family, and he doesn't dare to stay here for a long time.

After sailing, Bai Qi found that Rounda and the other three oarsman he selected were all skilled sailors, especially this Round, who was very skilled in handling the boat, and even Bode and Lenka could not compare to him.

This made Bai Qi curious about this young man.

When the boat had entered the Suo Luo River and had stabilized, Bai Qi called Nonda to the captain's room and asked him where he came from.

Roundup was reluctant to elaborate on his origin at first, but when he was young, he was Bai Qi's opponent, and he was soon knocked out by Bai Qi's side knock to dig out the roots, and in the end, the discouraged Roundup simply answered whatever Bai Qi asked.

It turned out that this Roundup was still a native of Leony, and his maternal grandfather was an old sailor of a large family fleet in Leony, and his mother worked as a servant in this family, but then somehow became pregnant and was kicked out, along with his grandfather.

Round, who had no father since childhood, followed his grandfather on ships as a sailor at the age of twelve, and when he was fifteen years old, his grandfather died of illness, and he became the only man in the family.

In order to take care of his ailing mother, Roundup gave up his position as second officer on a large merchant ship and became a fisherman.

When he was sixteen years old, a man who looked like a nobleman came to Round's dilapidated hut in the slums near the docks and told him that he was a descendant of the Byron family in Leoni.

The Byron family, the same family where Round's mother and maternal grandfather once served, told him that his father's only son, his brother, had died on the front lines of the Arare Valley, and that his father wanted him to return to inherit his family business.

Rounda had long hated his mother, who was depressed all the time, and his father, who was sick before the age of thirty-five, of course refused to agree.

That same night, a group of Assassins attacked Roundup's home, and Rounda and his mother, protected by several warriors sent by his father, fled to the docks and left Leony overnight on a cargo ship arranged by the retainer.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the cargo ship left Leoni City, it ran into Captain Will, who had just turned into a water thief.

Normally, the merchant ships of the powerful city-state of Leoni were rarely raided by water thieves, but the ship was flying the flags of other city-states in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Assassins.

If you are an ordinary thief, if you run into this merchant ship, if you do it, you will definitely break your head, because on this cargo ship, not only is the captain a Chosen Warrior, but also a guard sent by Round's father to protect him is also a Chosen Warrior.

But they were confronted by Captain Will.

Captain Will only found out that the ship belonged to the city of Leony, but at this time, the arrow was ready to prevent him from firing.

In a fierce battle, the captain and the guard died at the hands of Captain Will.

In order to prevent the scandal of his plundering of Leoni from being known, Captain Will ordered the ship to be slaughtered.

Roundup, who was hidden by the guards in the stern galley, was very water-friendly, and if he sneaked into the water to escape at this time, there might not be no chance, but he could escape, but his mother couldn't.

Nonda, who was reluctant to leave his mother, was naturally reluctant to escape.

In order not to disturb her son, his mother slashed her own throat with a knife hidden under her skirt in front of Roundda......

Before her mother died, she grabbed Roundup and repeated the phrase over and over again, "Live...... Stay alive ......"

After some prayers, according to the custom of sailors, he pushed his mother's body down the Suluo River, and took advantage of the scuffle to sneak into the oarsman cabin, stripped naked and pretended to be an oars.

After the capture of the cargo ship, all the sailors were slaughtered, but the oars at the bottom of the ship were not completely slaughtered, and the pirates killed the thin ones, leaving the strong oarsmen behind, and rushed to the pirate ship to replace the thin oars on the pirate ship.

Although Roundup was only sixteen years old, he was a burly man and stronger than most adult men.

The oars were so frightened by this group of indiscriminate murderous water thieves that they trembled, and no one came to expose him.

As for what he was most worried about, there was no slave tattoo on his face, and no one noticed it at all, so he was fooled by him and became an oars slave on a pirate ship.

In order to avenge his mother, Roundup lurked on the pirate ship for three full years, if it weren't for Bai Qi, because of long-term overload and high-intensity labor and lack of nutrition, Round, who already felt that his body was beginning to weaken, even planned to try to find a chance to scuttle the ship, and drag Captain Will to die together.

Looking at the young man who was sad and crying because of himself, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't help but admire this young man for being able to endure being an oar slave for three years in order to avenge his mother.

Generally speaking, most of the most filial people are sincere people, because for the vast majority of people, his greatest benefactor is his parents, if a person is not even grateful to his parents, will he still be grateful to others? And only when a person knows how to be grateful and knows how to repay, can he be loyal to others, otherwise he is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised.

For this young man, Bai Qi suddenly had some thoughts.
