Chapter 118: Pick Up the Knife and Kill Me!
In many cases, the killer and the hero are actually synonymous.
In the eyes of the common people, pirates are the embodiment of the devil rendered by the aristocracy, they are all murderers, plundering people's property and taking people's lives.
However, if the pirate is torn off the cloak of the devil, then its mysterious interior attracts the common people.
Mysterious, powerful, and brave, this is how the civilians of Ferret perceive the Dragon's Tooth Pirates.
They are said to be mysterious because many civilians do not know about pirates, most of them have only watched the execution process of pirates in front of the execution table, or they have just listened to the descriptions of those nobles, so the pirates they have seen are already dead, and second, they are about to die.
Saying that they are strong, they can unite the Imperial Navy and defeat the invading pirate coalition, and the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment interprets their strength with their own strength.
Brave, for civilians, since they dare to go to sea to plunder, they are naturally brave.
"Alas...... It's so troublesome to become famous, I knew that I would be low-key at sea...... "All the work is over, except for Dirk, who is still busy, everyone rarely gathers together to drink and chat, Ridtier muttered after a few drinks. Who knows, this should have been a whining remark, but Sojes scoffed.
"Low-key? Indeed, it is indeed not suitable to be a pirate who is too sharp, but there is no need to be low-key, at sea, it is not the prey that you encounter, or the predator who intends to eat the black, unless we have the strength of the Six Emperors, otherwise you still want to be low-key? Are you afraid that there are not many opponents in us!?"
Sorjes was rarely angry with his own people, or there was no precedent for such a thing at all, and this time his tone was indeed a bit heavy, and no one around the wine table dared to interject, even Genevia, who had been next to her, was a little silent.
With a sneer, Sojes still didn't give up. "Say, go on, don't you want to keep a low profile? Tell me, what are you going to do when you keep a low profile? Come on, tell me!"
didn't expect that one of his whining words actually caused the anger of the regiment commander, Ridier was already a little taciturn, and he didn't know what to say this time.
Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Cervantes stood up and played a round game, "Jack, Ridier is just talking casually, there's no need to be so serious, right?" "It's necessary, it's very necessary!" Sojes put the wine bottle he had been holding in his hand on the table, "Shuaisi, since you said such a thing, I'm afraid you agree with his thoughts somewhat, right?"
"Yes, I don't think there's anything wrong with being low-key, wouldn't it be nice to show our claws only when we find our prey?" Cervantes didn't feel anything wrong and said what he felt, but this time, Will didn't complain as usual, but propped his elbows on the table, his hands crossed in front of his lips and pondered.
"Because of your idea, there is only one Arubas among the elves!" Sojes sighed and explained the reason why he was angry, "In the world, there is no absolute power, only relative strength, we are famous, but we are stronger than us, There are many more ferocious pirates, and fighting is indeed the main way for pirates to earn income, but we must also avoid unnecessary battles, if we are too low-key, we will be targeted by an unpopular ship belonging to the War Scorpion Regiment just like what happened to me when I first met you Cervantes, is it still difficult to guess why? Too low-key, the opponent will not think you are terrible, subconsciously think that you are a bully, even if you are broken by our hard bones after opening your mouth, but when they bite us, we will feel the pain, people, are used to bullying those more cowardly opponents, so, if we want to live, we must play our own reputation, otherwise, if we have not been famous, then everyone will treat us as a piece of fat. โ
This conversation did make a certain difference to the Dragon's Tooth Pirates, whether it was Will, Cervantes, or even Ridier and Eluda, they were slowly accepting the impact of fame.
A few days ago, the pirates' own ruffians were intimidating to the civilians on the streets, but in the next day, the people of Ferrey Street were not afraid of the famous backbones on the bounty list, but looked at these people tirelessly.
"Wow, is that Captain Sojes? Hey, tell me, he's not an imposter, right?"
"How is it possible! If you don't have enough strength to pretend to be a pirate leader worth 15,000 gold coins, he is not afraid that someone will cut off his head when he sleeps one day to receive a reward!"
"Look, it's Cervantes, so handsome, look at that well-proportioned figure, so stylish!"
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful, Genevia, you're my goddess!"
"Oh! it's Captain Will, so handsome! that melancholy look, embarrassed stubble...... I can't do it......"
For being famous, Sojes has long experienced it in the Imperial Academy, but although he is a person from the past, the rest of the backbone is not, many pirates usually supply in pirate cities or some small kingdoms, even if they are not like rats in the empire, everyone shouts and fights but it is not much better, for a while, from thieves to stars, even if their hearts are a little unacceptable, such as those men who shouted Genevia's name, which made this still a girl Genevia feel scared, but after seeing the cowardly appearance when she kept squeezing into Sojes's arms, those men screamed louderใ
This phenomenon was obviously not expected by Sojes, he frowned, and glared fiercely at the group of men who were howling at the wolves of Genevia, and in an instant, the wolves were silent, and it was at this time that the surrounding civilians realized that these people who were watching by him were actually notorious pirates.
"Why?, are you afraid?" Sogers was still moving forward with his arms around Genevia, and the girl in her arms still seemed to have some palpitations, the usual battle did not make her panic, but the current situation made her little body tremble like a quail.
"Well, it's kind of ......"
"Don't be afraid, those who watch the excitement are like pigs to be slaughtered, and they all give us meat!"
"Poof, you're so bad, they're all ordinary people, and you're really going to kill someone?"
"I do have this idea, who told those idiots to be so idle that they dare to estrus at you, damn it!"
"Hee-hee, are you jealous?"
โ...... Nope!"
"You just have!"
In the teasing with Sorges, Genevia returned to his usual appearance, and along the way, the pirates seemed very quiet, especially Will, who followed the team without saying a word, and Cervantes glanced at him, although he noticed his anomaly, he didn't say anything.
Today, it is the day when the repair is completed, and at the same time, it is also the day when the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment sets sail again, Theo and Dirk have been waiting on the ship early, after these two days of getting along, they are already familiar with each other, although most of them are Theo talking and Dirk is listening, but Dirk still has a further understanding of Sojers from his mouth.
Speaking of which, the port is the root of the rumors of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment's deeds, don't look at it is just past lunch time, but there are still many people watching around the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment's fleet, for these civilians living in the port, the ship is not difficult to see, but a magic ship of this level like the Xianglong is a little rare, not that it can't be made with the shipyard background of Port Ferrey, but this is relatively expensive, and it can be regarded as a secret, and the news of its official service will not be disclosed to outsiders.
There were sharp-eyed onlookers, and a shirtless young man was bragging about what he had seen to his companions when he saw Sojes and his party walking towards him.
"Look! He's the head of Sojes! Yes, that's him, that's right! He went to our Chamber of Commerce a few days ago to ask for information about the disguiser, and I know him!"
This shout suddenly made the civilians watching around the fleet consciously give way to a passage, and for a while, this group of passing pirates actually had the illusion of heroic triumph.
As they were about to step out of the crowd, the young man who had spotted them ran up to Sojers and stopped him.
"Captain Sojes, please accept me! Although I have never been a pirate or have ever been to sea, I have all my strength, I don't want to work as a coolie in the Chamber of Commerce for the rest of my life, I want a more decent life!"
"Wow!"
The young man's actions caused a stir again, and most of the crowd, who had been quiet by the sudden appearance of Sojes, began a new round of discussion, some of them were cursing the young man for his own depravity, some were sorry for him, and some of them were touched by the sensitive string in their hearts.
Yes, no one is born willing to work as a coolie, and no one doesn't want to be able to live a life of spending, and now, the behavior of young people has made these people who are dissatisfied with the status quo start to pay attention to Sogers's answers.
"Well, well, I'll give you a chance!" Sojers pulled out a dagger and threw it at the young man's feet.
"Pick up the knife and kill me!"
