Chapter 33: A Special Day
In such a high-profile situation, the goddess of despair slowly sailed into the port of Buno, and the anchored position was a little delicate, far away from the Black Dragon.
The pirates unhurriedly lowered their sails and dropped their anchors, and Captain Zack ordered the second mate and the boatswain to stay on board for the time being, while the rest disembarked one by one under the watchful eyes of everyone and set foot on the land of Buno Harbor.
The scenery of the port of Buno is not as beautiful as that of Tulouis, there are no coconut trees, there are no beaches, after all, the number of ships moored here is huge, so it is more professionally built.
Andy followed Roger closely, feeling the subtle atmosphere around him, and he couldn't figure it out.
The neatly dressed soldiers, the noble ladies who were being protected not far away, and the poor people who were watching in groups of three or five in the distance, everything was very unreasonable.
It seems that these people, as if they are greeting them?
"Bearded, do these people know we're coming today? or has it always been like this, and don't these people have anything to do?"
Andy asked softly by tugging at Roger's sleeve.
This feeling of being exposed to everyone's eyes made Andy very awkward, and he somewhat understood why the wizards were willing to hide themselves in their wide black robes.
He prefers to look at others in the dark rather than being watched by others.
"Well, I don't know, I've been to Port Buno a few times before, and it's not like this, maybe it has something to do with Pixar being here? ”
Roger thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe there is a big man in the navy who wants to come here." ”
"...... in the Navy Big shots?"
Andy looked back at the calm sea and nodded thoughtfully.
The pirates were quick to move, and with a wave of his hand, the pirates scattered into the alleys and soon disappeared, while Zack dodged into front of an Imperial defender who was watching them nervously, showing a mouthful of black teeth.
"Sir, something big seems to be going on in Buno Harbor, isn't it?"
The navy obviously knew Zack, and when he saw Zach coming, he almost threw away the long musket in his hand, trembling his hands and swallowing his saliva.
"Sir?"
Zach smiled ugly and stared at the navy in front of him.
"Great, my lord, Brigadier General Norrington will come to the port of Buno today. ”
Norrington...... James Norrington?"
Zach nodded, glanced at the Black Dragon not far away, frowned slightly, seemed to think of something, patted the Navy on the shoulder, and left with Roger and Andy.
"Roger, do you remember what day it is?"
The three of them ignored the commotion of the crowd, turned left and right and came to a dark part of an alley, Zach stopped and asked a little wistfully.
"Today?"
Roger thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Four years ago, the Imperial Capital nobles and the Penn family were uprooted, the Stormsea Pirate King Rich Payne was arrested, Norrington became the youngest Commodore in the Empire, and then the Goddess of Despair lost the battle with the Black Dragon, and Pixar took over as the new Pirate King. ”
Zach sighed, "In a few days, it will be the day Payne will be hanged." ”
Roger was stunned, seemed to have woken up to something, and looked at Zack.
Zach didn't say anything, looked at Andy, took care of Eleven Roger, and walked into the alley alone.
Somehow, Andy suddenly felt that Zack's back was a little depressed.
"If you are the king of pirates in the stormy seas, you will end up hanging, and your body will be exposed to the sun and eaten by seabirds. ”
Roger sighed and pulled Andy to the other side.
Andy and the two went out of the alley, Roger took him to a bar and asked for two large glasses of rum, Roger also seemed to be a little touched, and desperately poured a few sips.
"Bearded, there are some things I still don't understand. ”
"Tell me, and I'll tell you what I can say. ”
Roger raised an eyebrow, his mood calming down.
"Why didn't the Empire just put Payne to death when it captured him, but dragged it on for four years?"
"This matter, the power of the Payne family is very large, although it has been resolved, but it still has a certain influence, after all, it is a hundred-year-old noble, and it is impossible to completely wipe it out in a short period of time, so there is such a buffer time, if it was four years ago, someone would definitely rescue it. ”
Roger took a sip of his rum and laughed mockingly.
So Payne has been imprisoned in the Imperial Capital Prison, waiting for his death sentence in torment. ”
Andy nodded and looked at the bar, where there was also a boldly dressed girl preparing rum for the guests, which reminded him of his days at the pirate pub all these years.
I don't know, how Anna has been.
"Behind the pirates...... Do they all have big families?"
Roger's cup stopped in mid-air, then put it down again.
"Only a very small number of pirates come from large families, in fact, many pirates are poor, even slaves, but it is true that many pirates, even pirate kings, are working hard to become nobles, so they will try their best to get in touch with those nobles. ”
Amber-like rum trickled down his throat, and Roger let out a sigh of admiration, then his expression darkened.
"A pirate, after all, is a robber, no matter how powerful he is, he is not as noble as the nobles. ”
Roger drank a little too much, so Andy found a nearby hotel that provided accommodation, and after opening the room, Roger, who was a little sane, collapsed on the bed and let out a shocking snoring sound.
Andy sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long while, he walked out and closed the door.
There were many things to be found in the bar, Commodore Norrington would arrive at Port Buno to-day, and he would have something to discuss with the Governor and the Pirate King Pixar, and the Governor would have a banquet for all the nobles in the vicinity of Port Buno tonight, and the dinner must have been very lively.
What Andy couldn't understand was how Norrington, as a commodore of the Navy, was able to negotiate with the pirate king of the Stormstorm Sea, and even dared to be so bold that the governor threw a banquet regardless of what the inhabitants of Buno Harbor thought of it.
Is it true that Liberty X Harbor is so free that it can only be so far? It is already inconceivable that the two sides are at peace with each other, and what is even more incredible is that they have to eat at the same table.
When will cats and mice be allowed to eat cheese together?
"There must be a problem! It won't just be because of Payne!"
Andy's curiosity was stirring again, and he wanted to find out what was going on.
