Chapter 357: Jack and the Wine
The second floor of the cabin.
Old Jack crept forward alone, and a soldier with a sharp blade followed him solemnly. The other who followed decided to go up to investigate the situation after hearing the sound of the cannons, while the other made full use of the characteristics of the upright player, insisting that the inner ghost lurking was the more formidable enemy.
So, no matter what Old Jack said, he had to inspect every nook and cranny of the cabin in detail.
Of course, there is nothing here, the suspicious people are all made up by Old Jack, and even if the cabin is turned upside down, it is impossible to find the so-called inner ghost. It was Lin Qiu and Alyssa who were hiding from the captain's room, but as Lin Qiu's loyal good friend, Old Jack would not expose them no matter what.
Hey?
Old Jack suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Obviously, Lin Qiu and Alyssa are here to help, why does it always feel like they are doing something unseemly? He had to represent that the two of them were tired, and the first time they saw someone who came to help, they needed to be careful not to be discovered by others.
"Maybe I'm wrong. Old Jack said.
He was already a little annoyed, knowing that there was nothing here, it would be extremely troublesome to investigate in detail, and more importantly, he himself was very curious about what was going on up there.
"Go over there and take a look, and never let go of any corner, General Jacobella has explained that the enemy may send secret troops to rob the eldest lady. The soldier stiffened his neck with a non-negotiable expression.
"I said that I was wrong, don't you care about what's going on up there?"
"Every soldier has to do his or her own job, and what happens above will naturally be dealt with by others, and we have great confidence in the ability of our comrades!"
"But there really isn't anything here, like this barrel, do you think there can be people here? That's absolutely impossible, these are all fine wines that Old Jack and I have collected from all over the world, if you don't believe it, you can open your eyes and see clearly!" Old Jack unbuttoned the lid of the barrel.
They lowered their heads, and the man curled up in the barrel was looking up at them with the same frightened eyes.
"Ah——!h
Old Jack was so frightened that he threw the lid of the bucket away.
The fright was twofold, and in addition to the fact that his ship was mixed with people of unknown origin, what was even more terrifying was ...... His treasured wine was gone! There was nothing more terrifying than the latter, and he had never been so afraid of it when he was swept into the whirlpool with Lin Qiu and the others.
The two men inside the barrel were also frightened by Old Jack's scream.
The soldier drew his sword at the first time, and he immediately noticed the swords of the two people in the barrel, which meant that they were knights, and one of them also wore the adventurer's earnest insignia issued by the Adventurer's Guild, which meant that he had reached the level of a royal knight at least.
The enemy is a royal knight, and there are two of them at once!
He had already calculated his plan, and he was no match for these two on his own, but in order to protect the eldest lady, he had to tell General Jacobella about this discovery anyway.
"Captain Jack, leave this to me, and I will fight to let you escape......"
"Where's Lao Tzu's wine!?"
Before the soldier finished speaking, he saw Old Jack let out a roar, picked up the lid of the barrel on the ground like thunder, and smashed it on the heads of the two of them. Due to the extremely small space in the barrel, the movements of the two were never coordinated, resulting in the two royal knights being beaten by Old Jack for a while.
The soldier was stunned by the stormy onslaught, and he watched as Old Jack kicked over the barrel, after which the latter's movements came to a brief pause.
Because old Jack suddenly saw the label on the barrel.
"Tokai Special Brew".
The atmosphere became more tense.
"Captain Jack...... You hold them back first, and I'll go find a helper to support you right away......"
"No, you should help me find a torch, I'm going to burn these two thieves alive today!"
The label on the barrel deeply pierced Old Jack's eyes - it was "East China Sea Special Cuvée"! This barrel of wine was obtained from someone else after racking his brains, and the East China Sea is known as the land of fine wines, and the wine that can be called a special cuvée in the East China Sea is definitely royal.
It is said that only members of the royal family are entitled to this kind of wine, because it is so precious, Old Jack has been reluctant to drink this barrel of wine after getting it with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, he feels that he must find a meaningful occasion, and then call Lin Qiu and Alyssa and other old friends to enjoy this barrel of wine.
Old Jack placed the barrel in the most obvious place in the cabin, and just looking at the barrel gave him infinite motivation, and he was so hungry that he opened the lid of the barrel and sniffed the ecstatic aroma of the special brew.
Now not only is the aroma gone, but there is not even a drop of wine left in the barrel!
The soldier felt that although Old Jack kept telling him to bring a torch, the captain himself seemed to be on fire—Old Jack was so angry that his face was so red that steam was even coming out of his head.
And after a stormy attack, the two people in the barrel finally had a chance to speak.
"Calm down, Old Jack!"
"Your wine is still there, our barrel is just our disguise, and the barrel of wine has long been put away by us!"
The voices of the two made Old Jack somewhat familiar.
Old Jack didn't have time to observe who the two people in the bucket were just now, and he only had one idea, which was to beat these two guys into pigs' heads.
"You are ......" In the spirit of humanitarianism, Old Jack felt that he had better see the true face of these two wine thieves before burning them.
"We are Bourne and Senna, the most loyal followers of the eldest lady!" the two said in unison.
In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not ranked at all in the Chamber of Commerce, but in terms of loyalty, they are definitely among the best, and when they heard that the old president was killed and the eldest lady decided to go to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, they even reversed the plan to go to the "Aurora Horn" to have fun, and resolutely slipped on the Langhua.
Infiltrating the Waves is not easy, and all of Jacobela's soldiers are not vegetarians, and every once in a while, these soldiers will conduct an almost carpet search of the Waves, so that Byrne and Senna do not dare to run up to find out what is going on with the eldest lady.
Luckily for them, they found this place – Old Jack's cellar.
No one was going to patrol here, or they had just tried to prove what would happen to those who cared about Old Jack's wine.
"We've moved your wine inside, if you don't believe me, you can go and see it!"
Old Jack walked over suspiciously, and found that his "East Sea Special Cue" was indeed in good condition.
"Then you said it earlier. Old Jack was a little reluctant, his few strokes just now could be described as "knife to meat", he didn't spare his hand at all, and the lid of the barrel smashed into the faces of the two of them.
"We need a chance, too!" Byrne grumbled.
He never expected old Jack to have such a wild side.
"And what are you doing hiding here instead of following Lilith?"
"Actually......" Hearing this question, Byrne and Senna's faces became a little embarrassed.
"...... between us and General Jacobela"
"It's a little bit of a contradiction. ”
