Verse 97: Point to the white buds

The boatman slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the crumbling roof of the wooden house.

"Daddy, you're awake! You're alive again!" the stupid one yelled.

Some of the dazed old shipwrights were startled by the thunderous sound in their ears.

He frowned and shouted, "Shut up, I'm not your father." I don't have a stupid son like you!"

The crew, who heard the commotion, came to the cabin.

Hearing the old shipwright's reprimand, someone laughed and said, "Come on, you didn't want to throw this abandoned baby away when you picked him up." It was you who raised him with a soak of and urine. You're not his father, who else can be?"

Another said, "You were unconscious, so you didn't see it." You stupid son used his body as a shield to protect you. Otherwise, you would have been torn apart by those manta monkeys. ”

"Big man protects Daddy! Daddy is not afraid. The stupid big man thumped his chest hard and made a thumping sound.

The old shipwright looked at the stupid big man and snorted coldly: "I am a pure-blooded human race, and the top is your adoptive father." ”

"Adoptive father!" repeated the old shipwright.

His tone was disgusted, but his eyes showed warmth.

Seeing the stupid big man covered in bandages, he showed worry again.

"How are your injuries, show me......" beckoned the old shipwright.

"Don't look at it, if you can walk, then hurry up and meet Lord Needle. ”

"Lord Needle Gold?"

The crew recounted what had happened to the old shipwright.

The old boatsmith was stunned, and then he realized that if Mane Ge hadn't stopped the silver rhinoceros, he would have died in Huangquan.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

At the same time, he was worried again: "This Lord Needle Gold actually took the initiative to invite Mane Ge and his gang into the camp?"

"He's a Templar, but could he be too young?"

"Well, anyway, let's go meet this big man first. ”

The boatwright was helped out of the dilapidated wooden house.

In the open space of the camp, several bonfires were burning at the same time. Large chunks of lizard meat are roasted over the fire, giving off an increasingly strong aroma.

Plenty of drinking water.

There was even a small bottle of rum in Needlegold's hand. This is material from the crew.

When the shipwright saw the needle gold for the first time, he immediately put his hand on his chest, half-knelt down, and paid homage to the needle.

"Get up. Needle Gold seemed to be very happy and smiled.

"I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future, old shipwright, we don't know how to build ships. Needle Gold encouraged.

The old shipwright stood up, but lowered his head: "The villain must do his best!"

Needle Jin raised his hand: "Go down and eat, take care of your body." ”

The young knight took the grilled meat skewer in his hand and walked over to Mango's side.

Mane Ge and the others gathered on one side, and they were clearly distinguishable from the others on the other side.

As soon as the needle gold took a step, it attracted everyone's attention. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Needle Gold came to Mane Ge and handed him the barbecue.

"Here, taste the taste of lizard meat. Needle Jin smiled, and his handsome face was glowing with a dazzling brilliance in the light of the fire.

Mango calmly took the lizard's flesh and took a big bite, only to chew it a few times before swallowing it into his belly.

"This is the green lizard in the desert, which can spray acid?" Mane Ge tasted the taste, and then frowned slightly, "It doesn't seem like much." Maybe maybe the silver-level green lizard leader has better meat?"

"I also ate the meat of the silver green lizard, and it tastes similar. If you want to hear it, I can describe it to you in detail. In fact, it is good for all of us to exchange information. "Needle gold road.

Sandao stared at the needle gold, his face expressionless: "The heroic experience of Lord Needle Gold bravely going to the island, merciing the weak, and saving the good, we have heard from other people's mouths. ”

Needle Jin smiled bitterly: "What kind of hero am I? I tried my best, but I only brought out four companions. On this island, my abilities are limited. ”

"Give. Mango removed the meat skewers from the campfire and handed them to Needlegold, "Silver bear meat may be tastier." Well...... Let's call it a bear. Although it has the tail of a monkey, the hands of an orangutan. ”

"Monkey-tailed brown bear?" said the needle gold heart, his pupils shrank imperceptibly, and the smile on his face did not change in the slightest, and he naturally took the bear meat.

"Oh, yes. This is for you, and it can heal the wounds on your body. Use it as soon as possible, Miss Zidi told her when she configured it, and after a day, this bottle of potion will be invalid. Needle Gold threw out a bottle of potion and threw it to Manego.

Mane Ge subconsciously took it, and just as he wanted to reply, Needlegold had already turned around and left.

After this exchange, Needle Gold and Mango didn't say anything else.

After dinner, Mango and the others left the camp and returned to their makeshift tent.

"My lord, I brought you another manta monkey. "White Bud carried a dead manta monkey to Cangsu's tent.

With the supplies brought by the minso and others, Cangsu finally didn't have to sleep in a hammock. He was specially arranged by the needle gold to have his own tent.

In the tent, in addition to the floor bunk, there is a long wooden table.

There were a few lit candles on the wooden table, the table was dripping with blood, and the wings, brains, and eyeballs of the manta monkey were scattered.

Graybeard, still with his glasses with broken lenses, was priing open the manta monkey's throat with an iron rod and looking inside by candlelight.

"What a strong vocal cord, combined with the supernormal lungs, it is no wonder that it can emit such strong sound waves. Cang Xu muttered, he didn't look at Bai Ya, only said, "Put this bat monkey down." ”

Bai Ya put down the bat monkey as he said, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Cang Xu ask again: "This bat monkey was killed by the goblin with three knives?"

"Yes. Bai Ya replied, "At your request, I picked it out of the manta monkey carcass." It has also been confirmed by others. ”

Cang Xu stroked the cut on the neck of the bat monkey: "Crisp and neat, he is a good hand with a knife." ”

Bai Ya stood still, his face showed hesitation, he opened his mouth, and finally said the doubts in his heart: "This group of people is very dangerous. Why did Lord Needle bring them back to camp? Shouldn't we be guarding against them?"

The beard began to use a knife and continued to cut down the neck of the manta monkey: "Do you think it is easier to guard them off by throwing them into the dense forest or putting them under your nose?"

Bai Ya was slightly stunned.

He immediately asked, "Since Lord Needle Jin is guarding against them, he must also be suspicious of Mane." Why don't you interrogate him directly? His Excellency was a Templar, a nobleman. He came to interrogate a half-orc, and no one would object. Your Excellency is so merciful. ”

Cang Xu raised his eyes to look at Bai Ya, and then immediately turned his gaze to the bat monkey corpse on the table.

Cang Su lowered his head and said, "You should have heard other people's relays as well." Mango, this orc...... The strength is very strong. ”

Bai Ya immediately retorted: "But he was injured." ”

Cang Xu nodded slightly, pressed his hand, and finally cut off the bat monkey's neck with a knife: "It's injured." But how serious is the injury? Don't look at him, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood, there may be an element of drama in this. ”

Bai Ya glared slightly: "Is there still such a possibility?"

"How could it be? You're too inexperienced in combat, young man. "And most crucially, Mango saved the old shipwright. Without his help, the old shipwright would have died. Mane Ge was injured because of this, our Needle Gold Lord, he will never do anything to rob while the fire is burning and fall into the well. ”

"My lord, he, alas, ......" Bai Ya sighed deeply.

Cangsu began to use a saw to attack the skull of the manta monkey: "Moreover, there were also members of the Three Swords Mercenary Group at that time, and these people's combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the crew. Once the contradiction is triggered, a scuffle is triggered. Even if the adults can defeat Mango, it will be difficult to protect Zidi, the old shipwright and others at the same time. If we force the other party and let people kill the shipwright, then we can't build a ship, and we will all leave this island. What's more, there was also Lady Zidi by your side at that time. Lady Zidi can't use magic, only potions to protect herself. How could an adult put his fiancΓ©e in danger?"

Bai Ya nodded: "It seems that the adult has thought it through. ”

The barangular whiskers sawed for a long time, and the manta monkey's skull was still hard against the sawtooth.

He stood up and beckoned to Bai Ya, "Come, help me cut this thing." ”

Without any prevarication or hesitation, Bai Ya immediately came to the table and took the saw.

He used his fractured, recuperating hand to stabilize the manta monkey's head, and used his other arm to pull the saw.

Cangsu stood aside, gasping, looking at Bai Ya's hard work, and decided to mention the young man a few more words.

After all, Bai Ya saved his life.

Although Cangsu has publicly proposed: white buds as food. But that's when food is too scarce and forced to do so. In this case, Cangsu is even willing to contribute himself to serve as food for the needle.

In this situation, Cangsu's attitude towards Bai Bud is naturally different.

Cangsu said: "There are actually many benefits for adults to do this. ”

"First of all, the adults have retained and are expanding the possibilities for recruiting this group. ”

"Didn't they refuse?" Bai Ya wondered.

"Do they really not want to?" said with a smile, "If you were one of them, would you rather follow Mango or Lord Needlegold?"

"Of course, it's Lord Needle Gold. Bai Bud didn't hesitate.

"yes. Cang Xu sighed, feeling very emotionally in his heart, "The mercenary is a very cruel competition, and the several mercenary groups standing on the top of the tower are indeed beautiful. But the Three Swords Mercenary Regiment is not. ”

"Goblin three knives, it's just black iron cultivation. His mercenary group is at best a mid-level one. ”

"As a mercenary, how many people can really get a good death?"

"Young people may be naΓ―ve, but these mercenaries have been in the mix for half their lives, and they have already seen the reality clearly and recognized themselves. What kind of people are they, what kind of blood can they have?"

Cang Xu sneered: "Following the needle gold, it is very tempting for them. Because this could be an opportunity to change their entire lives! What a rare opportunity to be favored by a big man like Needle Gold and allowed to follow him! They won't be unaware. ”

"Then why did they refuse?" Bai Ya asked.

Cang Xu said with a smile: "People are from the crowd, these mercenaries obey the three swords, and the inertia is too strong to change it for a while." Besides, it was the first time they had met with Lord Needlegold, and they didn't understand the nobility of adults. But Mistress Zidi has planted the seeds of solicitation in their hearts. In the future, when these seeds take root and sprout, Lord Needle Gold is personally soliciting them, and there is almost no possibility of failure!"

"It is necessary to recruit them. ”

"You've experienced how dangerous this island is. ”

"So, we want to unite anyone who can be united. Every precious manpower must be cherished. ”

"Think about it, maybe in the future, sea ships will be successfully built. We steer the ship, but we are caught in the storm. Because of the lack of a sailor, the sail was not lowered in time, the ship capsized, and we all perished. ”

"It's a bit extreme, but who can really predict the future?"

"Can you imagine a shipwreck?"

Bai Ya shook his head.

Cangsu: "Recruiting these people, Lord Needle Gold is very advantageous. Mango is only a half-orc, and his identity and bloodline are his biggest flaws. As long as they have been in contact for a long time, these people will naturally be attracted to Lord Needle. ”

"But Mango is probably the murderer!" Bai Ya cried in a low voice, stopping the saw in his hand.

"Go on, don't stop. Cangsu immediately reminded.

"Oh. Bai Ya hurriedly buried his head in sawing the monkey's head.

Cangsu looked at the young man's hard work, and smiled silently: "Do you think Mane Ge is a murderer?"

"How do I know?" Bai Ya shook his head.

"Do you think so?" asked Cangsu in a different way.

"Isn't he the most suspicious?" Asso said a lot at dinner......" Hakuya tried to relay, but was interrupted by Ayonhisker.

"Think for yourself, White Bud. Think carefully about Mane's before and after performance. Do you think he looks like a murderer?" the beard continued to guide the white bud.

Bai Ya thought about it seriously this time, and said in an uncertain tone: "I feel that Mane Ge is a very arrogant person, and it seems that he can't make the move of assassinating others." ”

Cangsu was noncommittal to Bai Ya's conjecture, but analyzed Mango's behavior: "We can say that Mango came to the rescue of the shipwright for himself. But Sandao and the others didn't make a move against these people, did they, right? According to the situation at that time, there was a good chance for Mane Ge and his gang to kill the stupid big man and forcibly capture the unconscious shipwright. But they didn't. ”

Although his attitude towards Lord Needle Gold was very disrespectful, it could be said that it was completely offensive. But he still didn't do it after all, and kept communicating with Lord Jinjin. ”

Bai Ya thought of something and became very angry: "Is that a communication? He even dares to ask the adult to prove his identity with divine magic!"

"Hahaha, I think, that's more of a temptation than Mango is really reckless. He didn't know how much strength Master Needle Gold had. After all, magic is a power rewarded by the gods, which is essentially different from fighting spirit and magic. Whether this island can ban magic or not, Mane Ge has no bottom in his heart. ”

Bai Ya's eyes lit up: "So, Lord Needle Jin actually saw it." He scolded Mane, which made Mango jealous of adults, and he didn't dare to do it easily!"

"Not bad. It's good that you can think of that. Next, let's talk about the cord. "Cangsu said.

"He's a nice guy, he's a good guy, but he's not a stand, he's very easygoing. Bai Ya said.

"Marlin is not simple. "Come to think of it, the captain is his father. That is, the marlin is the heir to the sea ship Pig Kiss. The Pig's Kiss is the captain's personal property and will certainly be a marlin in the future. What do the crew members think of the rope all along, if not the young master, but also the future boss. The cord was supported into a third mate, and his position on the ship can be imagined. ”

"The shipwreck happened, and the survivors came to the beach. The first mate has a lot of food in his private possession, do you know that he is the third mate's cordo?"

"If I were the first mate and I was the leader of the crowd, the first thing I had to do was win the support of the crew. The third officer has a special status in the hearts of the crew, and as the first officer, I will also take care of the third officer in private in order to stabilize people's hearts and my own image. Therefore, it is very likely that the cord was also the beneficiary of the first mate's private food. ”

However, the first mate was overthrown by Mango. Mango became the leader, and even if he rebuilt the ship, it had nothing to do with the sorrel. What's even more dangerous is that Mango is a strong man. The longer he has been in a leadership position, the more influential he becomes. At first, the crew clings to and follows the Marshall, but over time, they will follow Mango. ”

"Without the ships and the crew, what is left of the threads?"

Bai Ya was stunned when he heard it.

Greybeard stroked his white beard: "Let's take another look at the wounds on the captain's corpse." ”

"The captain's body was found after Mango took power. Coincidentally, there was also a penetrating wound on the corpse, much like a spear from a spear. And what is even more coincidental is that Mango carries a pair of short spears on his back all day, which is very eye-catching. ”

Bai Ya involuntarily opened his mouth wide, and the saw in his hand paused again.
