"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on Andy's door, and he got out of bed and opened the door, revealing Roger's dangerous face.

"Andy, the captain wants to see you. ”

"Oh, okay, let's go. ”

Andy's room was next to the captain's quarters, and his small door was only two steps away from the captain's quarters.

"Captain, he's coming. ”

"Yes, come in. ”

Zach's indifferent voice came out, making Andy shudder. There is a mysterious power in Zack's body, cold and terrifying, and the keen Andy can sense it, which is the breath that only kills many people.

The captain's cabin is the cleanest and most luxurious place on a ship.

In the middle was a row of long tables, silver candlesticks lit with a crystal chandelier on their heads, fresh orchids on the walls, and an oil painting on the wall that appeared to be Captain Zack with a sword.

Zach was sitting on a bench in the corner, and in front of him was a cluttered table with a colorful nautical chart, among other things.

Andy walked over with Roger and said hello, "Captain." ”

Zach grinned, stood up, and said in a quiet tone, "I heard you know divination?"

"Sir, it's a prediction, it's just that there's an innate sense of danger. ”

Andy naturally can't say it's divination, divination is black magic, and he doesn't want people to know that he has such power.

"Do we need to borrow external forces to make predictions?"

"No, it's a very esoteric sense, you don't need to borrow anything, of course, if you want to be more accurate, I think there's something that can help me. ”

"What is needed?"

Zach asked with interest.

"If nothing else, I'm supposed to be tasked with predicting the storm, right?

Zach nodded, "That's right, there are too many storms in the storm sea, although the seagulls can help us determine the weather, but unfortunately the seagulls' footprints are not all over the storm sea, and if you look at the changes in clouds and water vapor, it seems to be a little late." ”

The Goddess of Despair survives every storm, but there are always sailors who are knocked off deck by strong winds and torrential rains and disappear into the endless ocean.

And the waves of the storm would wet the deck and flood into the cabin, wetting food and gunpowder.

"If it's a storm, I'll need a few shells of baby turtles that break out of their shells in the midnight moonlight, well, and a few black seagull feathers. ”

Andy thought for a moment and said that he had to use these things, because in fact he couldn't predict, only divination.

"It sounds mysterious, and it's about the same thing that greedy alchemists need, like the legendary black magic. ”

Zach stared at Andy and said nonchalantly.

"In fact, these things with mysterious powers can make my predictions more accurate, perhaps because of this mysterious power. ”

"That's right. ”

Zach nodded and looked at Roger, "I think Old Buby should have these things there, and when I go to get the ship's bow statue tomorrow, remember to buy some and come back." ”

"Captain, your will will be executed. ”

Roger nodded and said respectfully.

"Well, if what you're saying is true, then you'll be second only to me and my first mate on the Goddess of Despair, but if it's fake, I think you'll be food for sharks. ”

"As you think, sir. ”

Zach nodded happily when he saw Andy's confident look, the storm has always plagued the pirates in this sea, and now that his problem is solved, then the strength of the goddess of despair will also develop rapidly.

Zach looked at Andy and saw his outfit and his eyes lit up.

"Andy, your sword and gun are good. ”

"Well, my sister prepared it for me. ”

Andy thought of Anna and smiled.

"I'm curious, it seems that you don't seem to be short of money, so why do you want to be a pirate?

"Stimulus..."

Andy's eyes were in a trance, and he nodded, then shook his head again.

"Then great captain, why do you want to be a pirate?"

"Me?" Zach said, with a look of remembrance, "I was here for a lot of gold, and now, I'm here to conquer this ocean!"

"Wealth, power, and ambition. Roger said in a deep voice, "Actually, I was there for adventure at first, but now I'm here for that. ”

"Wealth, power, ambition. ”

Andy repeated, seeming to understand something.

Zach looked at Andy's confused look and chuckled, "Maybe our Andy himself doesn't know why he wants to be a pirate." ”

Zacra led Andy out of the captain's room, up to the stern, and stood beside the rudder, shouting loudly.

"Tell me, you damn guys, why did you come to be a pirate!"

"Hey, head, I think it's endless gold coins and glittering jewels!"

"And endless rum, beautiful women whose skin is as smooth as milk!"

"And, of course, indulgence! Only we pirates can!"

Zach listened to the pirates on deck and looked at Andy with a smile, "Look, that's what we want. ”

"That's not what I want. ”

Andy shook his head, his tone very solemn.

"And what do you want?"

Zach stood next to Andy, and the appearance of the gloomy looked much warmer in the sunlight.

"All I want is a boat of my own, and I lie on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, and I don't have to think about anything, and let the boat drift with the waves. ”

Zach's eyes changed slightly, and he asked, "What's that?"

"I guess that's freedom. ”

......

Zack's smile retracted, looked at Andy, and muttered two words, "Freedom?"

He slowly descended the stairs and returned to the captain's quarters.

The pirates on the deck looked at Andy and burst into laughter, Roger patted Andy on the shoulder, and suddenly sighed, "Andy, in the future, you will know that true freedom is more difficult to obtain than power." ”

"And the general freedom, in fact, you are already in it. ”

Seagulls flew around the mast, and the artist-like sailor Andler leaned against the deck fence, gently blowing bagpipes, blending with the chirping of seagulls into a beautiful music.

The pirates began their work again, and tomorrow when the bow statue arrived, they were about to set sail, and now they needed to tie the sail ropes and polish the deck, and the rude pirates didn't feel much about Andy's words, and they laughed at Andy for being stupid, because when they were pirates, they were already free.

Isn't it freedom to wander and explore on the ocean, to squander pleasures and squander, not to pay taxes, not to work on the estate, not to listen to the reprimands of the nobles?

Andy shook his head, he was going back to his room, he had just walked down the stairs when Roger threw him something.

Andy catches it, and it's a delicate leather flask.

"Huh?"

Andy was puzzled and looked at Roger suspiciously.

"Drink, because you're free, though you don't know it, Andy!"

"Is it free?" said Andy.

"One cup for freedom, one cup for death. Roger's gaze drifted into the distance along the waves of the sea.

The mellow rum ran down his throat and into his abdomen, leaving a slightly drunken aroma between his lips and teeth, and Andy's mood suddenly improved, and the sea breeze brought a fishy salty smell.

It's the taste of freedom.
