Chapter 109: Theo's Background
Theo's state is indeed not very good, but Sorjes knows that he is not worried about his life, otherwise, Will would not still have the heart to mess with him.
"Hehe, Commander, I'm disgraced to you, hehe!"
In the cabin, Theo was lying on the bed, Genevia was bandaging his wounds, and Eluda was performing healing techniques on some of the deeper wounds, but I don't know what was going on, the healing techniques that would have had some effect had little effect on Theo.
"Theo, your ...... Right hand?"
Sojes was prepared, and when he saw Theo's empty right arm, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart, although he didn't have much contact with him, and the number of times he spoke was only in the single digits, but this did not prevent them from trusting each other.
Sometimes, they have been together for more than ten years, but the two people still don't believe in each other, and sometimes, they have just met, but the two people seem to have known each other for more than ten years, trusting each other and having a tacit understanding.
Sojes and Theo are the latter, Theo can't cultivate mental power, but he has superb marksmanship and rich sailing experience, which can be said to be a combination of Bode and Zoan - both the strength of the former and the seafaring ability of Zoan.
"Commander, it's not in the way, it's just that I don't have a right arm, anyway, I'm a natural left-hander, and without an arm, I can still shoot and kill for you. ”
Although he lost his arm, Theo's attitude seemed very optimistic, which also made Sorjes's heart more and more dull, the more Theo was like this, the more he felt unfair, on the sea, people like Theo who were loyal to the pirate group, dared to work hard and capable, although there were many but definitely not many, but the most prone to accidents on the sea was this kind of person, many times, on the contrary, it was those old loaches who liked to paddle that could survive unscathed.
Sighing, Sorjes gave Theo the money bag he was carrying without even looking at it.
"Commander, what do you mean by that?"
Theo frowned, and Sojes replied: "Theo, now the team is getting bigger and bigger, and the people you will come into contact with in the future will be stronger and stronger, you lost an arm for me, if you continue to sail, you will lose your life sooner or later, you will take the money, return to your hometown and be a rich man with peace of mind." ”
Hehe laughed twice, Theo waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Commander, you underestimate me Theo too much, that's right, I lost an arm, but I can still hold a moving gun, and my eyes are not broken, so I will kill people and control the ship, if you don't welcome me to continue to stay in the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group, then, even if I return to the land, I will rob everywhere under your banner, rather than losing your reputation, it is better to let me continue to follow you more happily." ”
"Why do you ......?"
Interrupting Sojers' words, Theo's expression became solemn, "Commander, some people are born villains, although you are not such a person, but I am!" I like this kind of thrill of putting life and death in a moment from the bottom of my bones, I have never been a pirate before, but in the past few months at sea, I really like the pirate life, so the captain, you don't have to persuade me anymore, instead of giving me such a large sum of money, it is better to buy a new ship for me to drive, otherwise, even if the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group can't accommodate me, I will buy another small boat to go to sea. ”
At this point, Sojes didn't know how to persuade, and after a moment of silence, Sojes's expression returned to his usual appearance, "Since that's the case, then you can continue to follow the team, this money, even if you pay the price of an arm for me, although the Dragon's Tooth Regiment is not very rich, but the money that should be given, we will not be less than a copper coin." ”
Seeing that Theo wanted to refuse, Genevia, who was treating his wounds on the side, changed the topic very smartly, "Theo, what's going on with your physique, Sister Ailu and I have checked it many times, and there is nothing abnormal in your body, but her healing skills don't have any effect on you, I think, what should you know?"
Indeed, although not all wounds can be healed, there will always be different degrees of healing effect on injuries, and the only ones who can be damaged by healing are the dark creatures that appear in the twilight sea, although Theo has not been hurt by healing, but the wound has no tendency to be healed, this phenomenon is really abnormal.
"It's nothing, I'm not a native of the French Empire, I was born in the Alonso Empire, and at the age of six I was relegated to slavery because of my blood and sold to a small kingdom I don't remember what its name is, and when I was thirteen, that country was destroyed by the French Empire, and that's when I was lucky enough to regain my freedom. ”
Theo didn't have much emotional fluctuation about being a slave, he was like that, he was optimistic at all times, and he didn't show much exaggeration in retrospect about the dark slave life, as if he was recounting what happened to someone else.
"The reason for the bloodline?" said Sojess, frowning, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, blurted out. "Don't tell me you're half of the Dark Blood!"
"That's right, my mother is a dark person, my father is a human, and I have half the dark blood in my body!"
The Alonso Empire, the head of the Seven Empires, is located in the Twilight Sea, whether it is this country or this sea, it is the place where dark creatures are relatively most frequent, most people in the world think that dark creatures are just skeletons, zombies, undead and other life forms, but few people know that there are quite a few dark creatures just like humans, speaking human language, and behaving in the same way as humans, the only difference is that they prefer the night.
About a hundred years ago, there were some dark creatures close to humans in the Alonso Empire who entered the human society under deliberate concealment, and some of them combined with humans to give birth to offspring with a semi-dark physique, Theo is one of them, they look no different from ordinary people in appearance, but their physique is much stronger than normal people, take Theo as an example, in terms of eyesight alone, he is even above Will who was born farsighted.
However, the price of this is that they are not able to receive the treatment of the Light, that is, the Priest's healing, which does not harm them but does not heal their wounds, and twenty-five years ago, Alonso's current Emperor succeeded to the throne and issued a series of new policies, one of which included the expulsion of people of semi-dark blood like Theo, who did not have the potential to become any profession.
The so-called deportation seems to be benevolent, but it has a deeper meaning in the aristocratic circle, once someone is expelled, then whether he was a nobleman or a commoner, he can be treated as a slave by anyone without being sanctioned by the state, because the deportation is no longer considered a national of the Alonso Empire, and treating people from other countries as slaves will not be criminalized by any law.
Theo was unfortunate because his mother had died shortly after he was born, and his father had been killed by the Alonso Empire's military for resisting at the time of his deportation, but he was one of the lucky ones among slaves, as he was sold into a small kingdom, which, as he said, was annexed by the French Empire when he was thirteen years old, and the king of the French Empire ordered the forgiveness of the former slaves of the kingdom at that time, which allowed him to regain his freedom.
