Andy gasped, and suddenly there was a shivering sensation in his body, the dagger in his hand was still dripping with blood, as if the touch of slicing the enemy's throat was still on it, and the faint sound of the dagger cutting through the flesh was everywhere, and even Buck's words were not heard clearly.

It's completely different from last time, maybe it's because the dagger is short, maybe it's because Andy isn't mentally ready, anyway, he's feeling terrible now.

even secretly swore in his heart that he would never kill people again in the future.

A strong smell of blood reached his mouth and nose, and Andy couldn't hold back any longer, and fell into the corner and vomited.

Buck was stunned, walked slowly to him, gently stroked Andy's back, and handed him the rum.

"Let's go, get out of here first, the smell of blood here is too strong, I'm afraid it will attract other people. ”

Buck found a bucket of water on the side, washed his face, and cleaned the blood on his hands, Andy nodded, forced not to look at the corpse on the ground, and walked out with Buck.

It wasn't until he got away from the alley and breathed in the outside air that Andy felt better, but his stomach and mouth were still sour, and even his mind was a little unconscious.

"You little guy, it's not the first time you've killed someone, how can you have such a big reaction?"

Buck scratched his head and muttered.

Andy poured the last rum from the jug into his mouth and said after a pause, "I don't know, maybe I wasn't prepared, and the dagger is too small and too clear to the touch." ”

"Your habits, Andy, especially at this time, it won't be a few days, we will have a hard fight, don't say it's me at that time, even Roger won't have the time to take care of you. ”

Buck said earnestly, his expression a little hideous, exuding the aura of a beast.

"Is it because of the Black Dragon?"

Andy asked.

"yes," Buck nodded, "The guys I just killed are the pirates on the Black Dragon, and they had a fight before, but I didn't expect to be targeted by them at the bar just now." ”

Speaking of this, Buck suddenly patted his head, "I need to tell those old fellows that the guys on the Black Dragon know them and may take the opportunity to make them careful." ”

Although fighting is forbidden in Buno Harbor, no one cares about skirmishes or even murders, and if the men on the Black Dragon really have their eyes on them, then perhaps the pirates will lose their lives while they are drunk or having fun.

Andy also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't stop it, but still asked, "Is your injury okay?"

"It's okay, our tribe's potion is the best, don't worry about me, your reaction after killing, you sit in a crowded place for a while, and go back to Roger when it's okay." ”

Buck waved his hand and slipped into the alley again.

It's full of bars and brothels, and Buck knows where his old lads love to go.

After Buck left, Andy found a dilapidated wooden barrel in the street and sat on it, and there were horse-drawn carriages passing by from time to time on the avenue, and there were patrolling guards.

A peasant woman in an apron chases after chickens and ducks, and a little girl with a freckled face holds a bouquet of flowers......

The barking of stray dogs on street corners, the sound of striking iron in the blacksmith's shop, and the noise and laughter in the alleys not far away.

Andy's heart calmed down, and he smiled self-deprecatingly and got up to leave.

This afternoon, there is a lot of darkness hidden under the sun, but there is a little warmth in the darkness.

After returning to the hotel, Andy found that Roger had come to his senses and was standing by the window not knowing what to think, which made Andy secretly surprised, Roger drank a large barrel of rum in one go, and it was as if he was okay so quickly.

"It's back. Roger heard the door open, looked up, saw that it was Andy, and whispered.

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm thinking......" Roger didn't finish his sentence, his nose twitched, and he turned his head to look at Andy, "You killed someone?"

Andy looked down at his hands, he was sure that he had cleaned the blood, and it was still smelled by Roger.

"I'm self-defense. ”

Andy then recounts what happened in the afternoon, and of course, he doesn't say anything about Margaret, except that he noticed someone following Buck while wandering around, and he went into the alley with them.

"The Black Dragon is still quite fast, it seems that we were targeted by them when we entered the port before, why is Pixar so cautious? Is he afraid?"

Roger fell into deep thought, and Andy suddenly remembered what Margaret and Anne had said before, so he said tentatively.

"I've heard people say that Pixar came to Norrington and the Governor here for some privateer's license. ”

"Privateer license?!Andy, who did you listen to?"

Roger woke up suddenly and looked at Andy with a somewhat excited expression.

"It was when I was walking down the street that I heard two noble women talking about the dinner party. ”

Andy didn't know what a privateer license was, but seeing Roger so excited, he thought it was a good thing.

"No wonder, no wonder!" Roger nodded, "I said how did that arrogant guy at Pixar get this trick, it turned out that it was about privateer licenses, and he couldn't help but be careless." ”

"What is a privateering license?"

"The privateering license was a kind of proof issued by the imperial family. Roger said patiently, "A pirate with a privateer license is an existence recognized by the empire, and the captain will become a nobleman recognized by the empire, and the crew will no longer be regarded as a robber, so to speak, it is something that legitimizes the identity of a pirate." ”

"So good?" Andy looked at Roger in disbelief, "there must be some restrictions, I can't think of any reason to legitimize piracy in the Empire." ”

"Of course there is!" Roger smiled, "War! It seems that the Eagle Empire is going to war with other countries, and only at this time will the Empire issue privateer licenses, so this is a rare opportunity." ”

Under Roger's explanation, Andy gradually understood.

During the war, the royal family would issue pirate privateer licenses, promising them legal status and even nobility, and the pirates who received the royal license would stay away from the waters where they lived and make waves in the waters of hostile countries.

Raid any merchant ships that trade at sea with rival nations to affect the Empire's commercial trade, and powerful pirates will need to destroy enemy naval ships to show their merits.

At the end of the war, privateer captains will be knighted for merit and become nobles of the Empire, an irresistible temptation for power-seeking pirate captains.

"In that case, our Goddess of Despair also has the strength to get a privateer license, right? Why ......?"

Andy had some doubts, the privateer license could not only be issued one, and there was no need for the Black Dragon to do so.

"Who let us and the Black Dragon, the undying enemy, almost destroy the goddess of despair, Captain Zack's eye, this feud is not something that others can mediate. ”

Roger's expression became grim, and he patted Andy gently, "Don't stay here by yourself tonight, follow me closely, otherwise I won't be able to guarantee your safety." ”
