Chapter 81: Under the Candlelight

The candles on the wooden table grew brighter and brighter as the hull swayed, and although the sun was only noon when viewed from the window, and the candle flame was still underlit, the room in the cabin was still too bright, and it was difficult to see in the dim environment.

A pirate leader wearing a golden necklace sat by the candle flame, his right hand resting on the wooden table, and impatiently tapping his fingers on the wooden table, each time the candle flame next to it dimmed.

"How long has it been since you've been in that mess boy?" asked the leader with a blank face as the pirate stood guard at the door of the room. Although he asked in a calm tone, the few pirates around him who had been with him knew that the leader was on the verge of breaking out.

"Chief, he's been in for almost two and a half hours. ”

"Heh, give him three more minutes, if he doesn't come out again... You know what to do, right?" said the leader, nonchalantly.

Several pirates felt a chill run down their backs, so they bowed respectfully.

Touch!

There was a sudden muffled noise at the end of the hallway, and the pirates glanced at each other before rushing out of the room, followed slowly by the leader in the golden necklace.

I saw that at the end of the corridor, Iguez was directly pushed out of the door by Charlotte, smashed his fist in the face and fell to the ground.

The pirates who arrived from afar separated the two, and in order to prevent Charlotte from continuing to be violent against Eagles, the leader had to order Eagles to be dragged away from behind the pirates.

"Get out!" the boy shouted angrily, pushing the pirates back to his room, slamming the wooden door shut. The pirates looked at each other, unaware of what was going on.

"Don't look at it, let's go. With the leader's order, several pirates helped the wounded Igus out of the hallway.

......

In a small room on the ship, the pirate leader sat on a wooden chair, his eyes constantly looking at the bloated man. Facing the leader's gaze, Agus lowered his head and covered his face, not daring to look at the leader.

After a long time, the leader finally spoke: "You should know what I'm going to ask, right?"

"Yes, I'm sorry for the delay, that kid is so alert, I don't dare to make much of a move in it. ”

"Oh, so you've got something in there?" the words seemed to raise a hint of interest.

With a cautious nod, Agus took out a piece of nautical-like road map paper from his waist and carefully handed it to the pirate leader.

"When I first entered, the kid panicked and stuffed it under the table, and it took me almost two moments before I stole it out without him even noticing, in the name of cleaning. ”

"Hah, well done. The leader grinned and bared his black teeth, "If you give this piece of torn paper to Vice Captain Wright, you will definitely be rewarded with a lot of gold coins." ”

"Chief, about the matter that the vice-captain entrusted you...", a pirate behind him whispered as the leader excited.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. About that kid, was he really doing an investigation when you first went in? I mean, that bullshit about him can't be interrupted, or he's going to work all day to be invalid investigating some 'ancient text'. The leader asked again, his tone much softer than before.

Eagles pondered for a moment on his still aching face, and replied, "No, I don't know much about that, but the kid was staring at a book full of strange words when he first entered the door. When he saw me, he immediately closed it, because he was on the desk, so I couldn't steal it..."

"yes, it's a shame, but this piece of broken paper is enough. And what about your injuries, did he find out?"

"No... It was just that it dragged on for too long, and the kid seemed quite unhappy that someone suddenly burst into his room and threw me out. ”

"Good, didn't alarm the kid, you did a good job. Then I'll have to report the results to the co-captain. ”

The pirate leader took out a few gold coins and threw them directly at Eagles' feet, picked up the blueprints and walked out the door quickly.

"Wait a minute, please. Instead of rushing to pick up the gold coins at his feet, the emaciated man suddenly stopped the pirate leader who stepped out the door, "About my reward... Say a few kind words in front of Vice Captain Wright..."

The leader turned, nodded impatiently, and said, "Well, I know. But you have to wait until that kid's business is over, and you can be patient, and I'll tell the vice-captain. "If it weren't for the paper that Igus handed over to the leader, I'm afraid he would have ordered Eagles to be thrown into the sea.

"Also, I'll ask you a lot during this time, after all, there aren't many crew members as clever as you. With that, he hurried out of the room, followed by several pirates, leaving Aguezes alone.

After confirming that there was no one around, Igus dragged his tired body and sat on the chair, only to realize that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"It's really playing with fire..."

Half an hour ago......

"Are you crazy?!" the man blurted out in disbelief.

"Calm down, as long as you follow the plan, you and I can escape alive. The boy sat down in his chair and shrugged.

"No, it's not a plan at all, it's a jump into the fire pit!"

"Is there a better way for you? First of all, it's a question of whether we can get out of this cage-like ship, and where can we go in this extremely dangerous sea? I don't believe that this group of good pirates will carry us back to the mainland with laughter and laughter when they have achieved their goal, and thank God if I say that they didn't kick us into the sea. ”

"You know this all too well, don't you?" Charlotte stared into Eagles' eyes and said very seriously, "If I could do it myself, I would definitely do it, but unfortunately now that everyone's eyes are on me, my every move is very likely to invite disaster." ”

"But you're different, you're one of them, and it's at least much easier for you than I am. If it were up to you to carry out the plan, the situation would definitely be reversed, and the more I moved, the more their attention was on me, the safer you would be. ”

The man was silent for a moment, then nodded bitterly, "Okay, let's talk about how we're going to get in touch first?" This room has been watched by so many pirates that I can't swagger in. ”

"That's part of the plan, if I'm Vice-Captain Wright, I'll send you to 'clean' my room next time, and if you're doing better, I'll even reward you with some gold coins as a token of goodness. ”

"So every contact needs to be like this?"

"It's only temporary, and if it goes well, they'll be so busy that they won't even have time to look at me. ”

"Well, what do you need me to do? I don't think stealing a few things will make this night's talk go smoothly. ”

"Of course it won't be that simple. And about what you need to do with this..."

Xia Luo sneered, and the back of the man in front of her was numb.

For a moment, Eagles regretted stepping into the room.

“... Are you confident in your acting skills?"
