Chapter 82: The Fourth Deck

Inside the golden door, a pirate wearing a golden necklace bowed his head tightly, holding the piece of paper he had obtained from Aguezes in his hand, looking nervous, without the slightest arrogance and sharpness before.

Facing the two people in front of him who controlled his life and death, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, exhaled a breath and said uneasily: "Good afternoon... Captain Morey and Vice Captain Wright, about that little... Our dear little guest, the investigation has finally progressed. ”

"Of course, we only used a little bit of it. But rest assured, he didn't notice what we were doing, so please take a look. The leader handed over the drawings of the navigation route in his hand, "Please forgive the little one for not being able to read what is drawn on it, but the little one can recognize it at a glance, which is very important for the two of you, so the little one sent it over as soon as possible." ”

Vice Captain Wright glanced at the pirate leader whose hands were trembling, took the drawings, glanced at them, and was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong?" said Morey, after exhaling a puff of smoke, put down the tobacco in his hand, and said unhurriedly.

The vice-captain was not in a hurry to answer, and after a few more glances to confirm that it was correct, he couldn't help but laugh a few times, "Look, our little guest." It seems that he has known the location of the treasure for a long time. ”

After Captain Morey took the drawing from Wright, he stared closely at the sailing route on the drawing and remained silent. Half a moment later, his steel arm shook imperceptibly a few times, and a few gleams flashed in his eyes, but they were quickly obscured.

"The first half of the route is the route of our previous verified totem, and now, the route after him has been planned. I don't know what he's trying to do, but it's a capital offense to lead us by the nose step by step under the pretext of treasure, don't you see? ”

But he did not deceive us, but actually led us to the location of the treasure. He smiled lightly at the captain's questioning, "Despite a few minor misunderstandings, he did his job perfectly, didn't he?"

"Then we can have a 'memorial now', right? ”

"Of course, I'm referring to the 'second half' of the memorial. The last few words, the captain said slowly.

The invisible pressure centered on the captain gradually spread. For a few moments, the leader in front of the two of them could barely breathe, and he had to kneel on the ground weakly and breathe in a big gulp of air.

"Don't be in too much of a hurry, Captain. In the face of Captain Morey's pressure, Wright didn't care at all, "I just want to ask you, how do you know if this drawing is true or false?"

"Oh? As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure instantly decreased by a few points, and the pirate leader coughed a few times before recovering.

"First of all, we don't know if he showed us this drawing on purpose, and secondly, we don't know what kind of dangerous sea we need to go through to get there. ”

"So what you mean?"

"We might as well keep him until the moment we find the treasure, and to some extent we still need him to decipher the words on the map. I believe that eating with an extra mouth is nothing to us. Wright whispered, "And after you get the treasure, you can do with him as you want." ”

Captain Morey picked up the tobacco and put it to his lips and took a gentle puff, as if pondering the pros and cons.

Eventually, he nodded.

......

Two days later, Eagles arrived on the fourth deck of the ship's cabin with a rag and a barrel.

This deck has been repurposed to be incredibly sturdy, and the outer hull is almost entirely made of fine iron, in order to ensure that the vast amount of supplies stored on this level will not be damaged or lost in naval battles.

That's right, the fourth deck contains supplies needed for the maintenance and repair of the ship, as well as a large amount of gunpowder and shells and bullets, and is also the place where the sailors responsible for the maintenance work.

Even pirates who lick blood on the blade need sailors who know how to repair ships in order for their pirate ships to sail successfully. Especially for a giant pirate ship like the Fu Lisan, without these sailors, it was only a matter of time before the entire ship sank into the sea.

"Uh-huh, is it Igus that you're in charge of the fourth deck today?" asked a sailor working in the maintenance squad curiously when he noticed that it was not the usual sailor who was in charge of cleaning the deck when he came down the stairs.

"You said Manro, who was in charge of this floor before? Forget it, he drank too much last night, and now he's still vomiting on the bed. In order to prevent him from being held accountable by the people above, I have to do it. ”

"Haha, we can rest assured if Iguez comes, Manroe guy is often just a rough clean-up and then lazy to the side, causing some of the equipment to start moldy. But before that, even if you come here, Eagles, you have to obey the rules..."

"Well, I know that, I'm not going to get you in trouble. ”

There is an unwritten rule on this ship that each deck is headed by a pirate leader, and if you need to work on that deck without a reservation, you need the head of the maintenance team to nod your head to agree.

So in the current situation, he needs to find the leader of the fourth deck and get him to nod his head in agreement before he can start cleaning on the fourth floor.

After turning a few corridors and cabins, I soon came to the location of the head of the maintenance team.

"Oh, are you here today?" The leader in front of him was dark-skinned, muscular, and had a thin beard with a curved beard. At first glance, you can tell that he is a very shrewd man.

And the man in front of him has a certain friendship with Eagles.

"Well, that's right, it's me. That guy Manroe drank too much last night and is still in bed and hasn't woken up. ”

"Yes, as a subordinate, I'm pretty lucky to have a leader like you. ”

"Don't make me laugh, how can a low-level sailor like us be a leader and a subordinate? Igus sneered, "So where am I responsible for today?"

The leader of the maintenance squad had long been accustomed to the stinky face of the emaciated man in front of him, and casually pointed to the cabin drawings on the table, "Originally, Manro was in charge of this piece today, this area, and this piece, which added up to at least half a deck." ”

Eagles stared at the drawings on the table for a moment, and only shrugged his shoulders after a moment and said, "Okay, I changed my tune, it seems that he really shit luck to know me." ”

"By the way, then again, do you usually rely on these drawings for the repair of the hull?"

"Oh, interested? Why do you ask?"

"No, just asking. ”

"It doesn't hurt to let you know, after all, you and I have known each other for a few years. If anyone else asked, I would have thrown him overboard, and then reported it to the captain and convicted him of treason. ”

"We got these drawings when we 'acquired' the Fu Lisan, but thanks to the fact that they were not destroyed by the war at that time, otherwise it would have been quite a headache for us to carry out maintenance work, and at the same time we would have to find a way to draw another one. ”

"It has a detailed picture of what materials are used to build the interior and exterior of the ship, as well as the structure, etc., and as long as we know which part of the ship should be used for maintenance, we can easily carry out maintenance work, which is a blessing for our maintenance team. ”

"Of course, the drawing also includes what material the door of the captain's room was forged, after all, this drawing is the drawing after we 'obtained' the Fu Lisan and modified it. ”

"You should understand that, don't you?

“... That's tantamount to telling someone where the most vulnerable heart of the Fu Lisan is, and I certainly understand that. ”

"Yes, the mind is as clever as ever. Interested in joining our maintenance class?"

"No, thank you, I'm doing well now. Eagles declined the leader's invitation, silently picking up the barrel and walking out the door until it disappeared from the leader's vision.

"yes, what a pity," muttered the head of the maintenance squad as he looked at Eagles' vanished figure.
