"Al...... Admiral Fred! Frango struggled to prop himself up on the plank, his head tilted in the direction of Xu Mo.

As soon as Xu Mo's gaze fell on Frango's face, his face was full of anger. Although Frango is an old pirate, his actual age is not too old, about thirty years old, just in the prime of life. However, the condition of the old sailor at this time looked like that of an old man in his last years.

Frango's hair was thinning and almost all of it had fallen out, and his scalp was covered with mottled abscesses, like a dysentery patient. The grayish-brown skin on the face is loose, like air-dried orange peel. What made Xu Mo angry was that the old sailor's eyelids were also sewn up with needles and threads, there was no tooth in his shriveled mouth, and his gums were full of rotten pits with pale yellow pus.

"Carry him into the cabin first, and let Dr. Li Ze come over and treat his wounds!" Xu Mo's face sank like water.

"Let him lie flat on the table and get some rum!" Li Ze quickly rushed over from the deck, looked at Frango's appearance, and frowned tightly. When he opened the sackcloth wrapped in Frango, Christina and the two Viking sailors who were helping him turned their heads a little reluctantly.

The old sailor, who was strong himself, was now only skinny and bone, and the ribs on his chest protruded like a dried corpse. The hamstrings of both legs have been broken, and the meniscus of both knees have been removed, and there is no possibility of resuming walking.

Li Ze used a blade to slowly disassemble the needle and thread of Frango's eyes, and found that the old sailor's cornea had been glued to the inner layer of the eyelids, and the eyeballs were swollen and congested, almost close to blindness.

The most tragic thing is that the muscles of the old sailor's right thigh have been shaved clean, and only the mutilated leg bone remains. The crotch is even more flesh and blood, the symbol of the man has disappeared, and he has been castrated!

"BOSS, the person who attacked him is either a surgeon or an expert in torture." Li Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a solemn face, "Frango's ability to live until now, in addition to his own will, is also related to that person's unwillingness to let him die quickly!" ”

"Can it be saved?" Xu Mo glanced at the old sailor on the table and sighed lightly.

"BOSS, we still have the last bit of King Squid's flesh and neurons left, even if we use all of them, we can only let him live for another half a year!" Li Ze said with a wry smile, "And I think...... He is now more miserable alive than dead! ”

"I see!" Xu Mo nodded silently.

"Admiral, Admiral Alfred!" Frango, who was lying on the table, suddenly called softly, "Please let the others go out first, okay?" I'd like to say a few words to you! ”

"You guys go out first, don't tell anyone else about Frango yet!" Xu Mo waved his hand to a few people next to him, and when the others exited the cabin, he gently closed the hatch and sat down in front of Frango, "They're all out, you can say it!" ”

"How's the pirate on this ship?" Frango grunted weakly.

"Maybe one or two of them slipped through the net, and the others, including their captains, have already been killed by us!" Xu Mo gently patted Frango's shoulder and comforted him.

"All dead? Good, good, good! Ahem! A blush flashed across Frango's dead face, and he coughed bitterly.

"Don't get too excited, we'll take you back to the ship right away, and you'll be healthy!" Xu Mo hurriedly fed him a few mouthfuls of water, so that the old sailor could calm down first.

"No, Admiral, don't bother! I know my physical condition, I don't have much to live! It is enough to hear the good news before you die! Frango said softly, "Your Excellency, I did not betray Sweden, I did not betray the Vasa, and the information I gave them was all false......

Although Frango confessed to the Temple of the Gods that the Vassar had traveled to the Mediterranean in search of treasure, this information was false. The Temple of the Gods and the Vasa collided head-on in Alexandria, just by chance. The old sailor was able to remain loyal under such torture, and he could be regarded as a warrior in any case.

"How did you get captured?" Xu Mo frowned and asked, "We all thought you were dead!" ”

"Maybe it's fate!" Frango sighed softly and began to tell his story in fits and starts.

After listening to this, Xu Mo nodded silently. It wasn't fateful arrangement, the old sailor was just too unlucky to run into a high-ranking transfer from the Temple of the Gods. For any of the plot characters, a heart-piercing injury would be fatal, and where would they be able to capture Frango.

"Do you know which seaport they're in now?" Xu Mo asked in a deep voice.

"No, I don't know, when the ship came into port, I was covered with a black cloth most of the time!" Frango recalled, then shook his head slightly, "But judging by the docker's accent, we set off from a French port before we came to Alexandria!" ”

"A port in France?" Xu Mo rubbed his chin and lowered his head in contemplation, this information was not very useful. France has many ports in the Mediterranean, and although it has implemented a religious policy of harmony, it is still a Catholic country as a whole, and the Vasa cannot find them one by one.

"Admiral, I'm tired, give me a hand!" Frango calmly closed his eyes and struggled to raise his hands and fold them over his chest.

Xu Mo slowly drew out the dagger and aimed it at Frango's heart, and when he was about to stab it, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he thought for a while, and put down the dagger again.

"Frango, is there anyone else in your family?" Xu Mo asked softly.

"I also have an old mother, three younger brothers, and four younger sisters at home!" Frango's body stiffened slightly, and then relaxed again, "Since you think I'm not a traitor, then they will get a royal pension, which should last a few years!" In a few years, it is estimated that the eldest brother will be able to help at the docks, and some of my old buddies will also look after me in the face and help take care of him. ”

"Frango, if you have a great feat, your family's life should be easier!" Xu Mo said lightly.

"Ahem!" Frango coughed violently, "Ahem...... Admiral, how I behaved in battle, I know it myself. If you exaggerate your achievements, you'll be in trouble! ”

"No, you didn't understand what I meant, I meant real merit, not exaggerated ......" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he said in a low voice.

"Real feats?" Frango was stunned and grinned self-deprecatingly, "What real feats can I make with my appearance!" ”

"Sometimes, the merit obtained by using the brain is often greater than the sword and gun!" A smile appeared in Xu Mo's eyes, "The person who tortured you is dead, but the pirate group he belongs to has not been destroyed. These men had robbed Tripoli of a powerful Arab warship, presumably a few armed merchant ships, and now they had taken refuge with the Spanish government as a privateer fleet for mercenary purposes......"

Speaking of this, Xu Mo paused for a moment and continued, "If you can help me destroy this Spanish mercenary fleet, then the merit you get is enough for the Swedish royal family to raise your younger brothers and sisters without worrying about their future lives!" ”

"Admiral, what do you want me to do?" Frango raised his head slightly, his breath shortening.

"The captain of this pirate ship is the core of those people, and they will definitely send someone to Alexandria to find out the news." Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and said, "I want you to stay, they will definitely find you, and then you just need to ......"

"Ahem, ahem!" Frango's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a while to regain his composure, and he nodded slightly, "I'm willing to do it!" It's just that...... I'm worried that my body might not be able to support that time! ”

"It's okay, I'll let Dr. Li Ze stay with you as well. Although he can't restore you to health, it should be no problem to save your life in a short time! Xu Mo said this, slightly hesitating, "It's just...... When those people find you, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer again! ”

"Hehe, my current appearance is better than death, are you still afraid of a little physical pain?" Frango shook his head unconcernedly, "I also want to thank you for this feat, if only the Vasa could send those pirates to Hell to accompany me!" ”

More than ten minutes later, Xu Mo walked out of the cabin again and gave Li Ze a look, he had already instructed the doctor on the team channel just now to ask him to pay attention to safety. After the members of the Pantheon appeared in Alexandria, he could disappear from Frango.

"Let's go back to the ship!" Xu Mo ordered to the Viking sailors on the deck.

"Admiral, Frango......" Christina asked softly as she approached Xu Mo's side.

"I'll give him a ride, Dr. Li Ze will stay and take care of the aftermath for him, let's go back to the Vasa first!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything about his and Frango's plans.

"Alas!" Christina's eyes darkened, Frango's life was worse than death, she had seen it, and she could understand the old sailor's choice. If that tragic situation is replaced by her, I am afraid that there is no desire to live.

……

"Admiral, Raphael from the Castello Chamber of Commerce is here!" As soon as Xu Mo led the Viking sailors back to the Vasa, Barron entered the captain's room and reported to him.

"Lord Alfred, we're in trouble!" The Portuguese beautiful boy poked his head out from behind Barron and said with a wry smile.
