"That...... Just thank you. ”

Emma looked like a boy, and sat down against the wall, gasping for breath, and said to Andy.

Her sister wouldn't let her come out today to do this, but Emma wanted to save enough money quickly, so she picked a lone pirate who looked drunk, intending to grab another bag of money so that her sister would take fewer customers.

But I didn't expect this to happen, if it weren't for Andy, I was afraid that she would be killed there by that pirate.

"You're not bold, I didn't expect you to dare to do this. ”

Andy smiled and looked at Emma leaning against the wall, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"Huh?"

Emma was horrified by Andy's gaze, and subconsciously shrank back, "What are you looking at me like this......?" I can divide the bag of money in half with you. ”

"I don't need to, but you seem to be short of money, can you tell me why?"

Andy didn't have much to do anyway, so he went to Emma's side, threw the flask to her, and listened to other people's stories or something, Andy liked it the most.

Emma looked down at the flask in her arms, her expression was a little stunned, she raised her head, looked at Andy blankly, saw his gaze, felt that something seemed to gush out of her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

"My name is Emma, what about you?"

After Emma finished speaking, her face under the gray stains also turned a little red, Emma is the girl's name, and I don't know if this boy knows it.

"My name is Andy, and I'm a professional pirate. ”

Emma nodded, she had already guessed that although Andy didn't look big, he was very skilled, and he seemed to have a feeling of inexplicable fear that made her feel inexplicably afraid, plus a pirate service, it was not difficult to guess that he was a pirate.

Because of her sister Mira, Emma doesn't have a crush on pirates, but Andy didn't punish her for stealing anything yesterday and helped him just now, so Emma still has a bit of a crush on Andy so far.

"You usually ...... Do you steal to get by?"

Andy thought for a moment and asked, he had also seen a lot of children in Port Tulouis, most of them were prostitutes who were thrown away after they came down, and then picked up and raised by some caring old grandfathers or old women who took care of the ranches for the nobles, and when the old man died, in order to survive, he either joined the pirates or became thieves.

Their lives are not very good, they live in fear every day, and if they are caught stealing things, they will inevitably be humiliated or even beaten, and many people will be killed directly, which is too common in pirate ports.

"No, it's not like that. ”

Emma shook her head, stealing should be an extra income for her.

"I usually help make bread at the bakery at the corner of the street, sometimes I will be enlisted on the pirate ship to clean the deck for them, and after the tide is over, I will go to the beach to pick up some shells to make ornaments and sell them to the pirate ornament shop......"

Emma whispered, then sighed.

"But the owner of the bakery was killed by a pirate, and I cleaned the deck for them, but the pirates were not willing to pay, and the owner of the jewelry store was very dark, and I picked up shells for an afternoon and could only exchange them for a few copper coins......"

"So...... So I can only steal. ”

"Haven't you ever been caught?"

Andy asked curiously, if not, then this Emma is still very clever.

"Yes, yes, once I was discovered by a fierce guy, and then I broke a few bones, and my sister spent all her savings to heal me. ”

"Do you have a sister? is she like you?"

Emma froze, shook her head, hugged her legs, and buried her head between her knees.

"She's in the wine...... Doing things in the tavern. ”

When Andy saw her, he understood what Emma meant, and if Emma's sister was really the owner of the tavern like Anna, she wouldn't be reduced to the point of risking her every day to come out and steal things.

Thinking of this, Andy couldn't help but rejoice that he was lucky and was bought back by the rich Anna, otherwise he might also become a thief, and he didn't know if he could survive.

"Is there anything you want to do? You can't steal anything for the rest of your life, if you continue like this, you will be killed sooner or later." ”

"Yes!"

Emma looked up again, thinking of her dream, and smiled hopefully.

"I hope that my sister and I can buy a small house with a garden outside the town, raise a few hens that lay eggs, and raise a cow that can produce milk, and then live my life without having to face those pirates every day and not worry about money. ”

"That's it?"

Andy's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect Emma's dream to be so simple.

"yes, it's good to be able to do that. ”

"That should be easy, just a few gold coins?"

Emma stopped talking again, at this time she was like a little girl, pouting, and said with some grievances, "But the boss won't let my sister leave, she is still young and can earn money for many years, unless my sister can give him a hundred gold coins......"

"We have been saving more than two years of these 100 gold coins, but when I was about to succeed, I was broken in the bones, and my sister spent all the money she had saved for me...... And after that, the black-hearted boss also changed the money from sixty percent to eighty percent. ”

Mira is beautiful and young, so a guest can get a silver coin, which is the highest price for a prostitute x girl in Pirate Harbor, but the boss has to take sixty percent, that is, she doesn't eat or drink, and she can only save four coins when she picks up ten guests a day.

A hundred gold coins is a thousand hundred silver coins, how long does it take to save this?

Not to mention eating, there is a special time to rest every month......

Originally, after saving for two years, he was able to see the light, but Emma was caught stealing and was almost killed.

"Actually, I just wanted to save up the hundred gold coins quickly, but I didn't expect to lose all the money I had saved in the past two years......"

Andy was a little speechless, the sisters' luck was really bad.

"Hey, don't be so upset, a hundred gold coins is just a small matter. ”

Andy winked at Emma with a mysterious look.

"Can you lend me a hundred gold coins?"

Emma was stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Of course not, but I have a way, do you know how much we pirates can make from a single voyage?"

"A few silver coins......"

Emma said weakly, she knew from his sister that those stinky pirates had been at sea for more than a month, and when they came back, they only earned a few silver coins, one of which was spent on her sister, and the rest was used to buy rum or gamble.

And it's still dangerous to be a pirate, especially a pirate in the Stormstorm Sea, who dies in the sea if you're not careful.

In terms of making money alone, Emma really felt that it was much better than a pirate to be like her sister, who could earn a few silver coins a day just by lying down.

"You're talking about the junk pirates of the junk pirate ship, but it's not us, hehe, every time we go to sea, we can earn more than ten gold coins!"
