Chapter 4 Everything is a misunderstanding
Morris, who was looking for an opportunity to go to sea, signed up drunk......
He didn't think much about the irregularities.
For example, why did the Olus, who were far northwest of the kingdom, come all the way to the port of Aedine in the southeast of the kingdom?—— they should have been a flock of landlubbers.
For example, why can some of the little tricks he showed with no sailing experience - gold coin magic, roses in his sleeves and poker, etc., also be affirmed by the big man?
Hell, he triumphantly boasted that he was a disciple of the first astrologer of the kingdom of Navarre!
He got on the boat in a daze, and when he woke up, he realized to his horror that something was wrong.
This ship turned out to be a fucking pirate!
But there's no way to get out.
It is said that during the Age of Sail in Western Europe, some burlesque artists would also be recruited on the seashore, after all, after dozens of days of life at sea, the crew always needed some interesting programs to relieve physical and mental exhaustion. That's why I got the offer, right?
Morris thought it was a fluke. Since you are on the thief ship, you should be a happy ...... Pirate.
Look, he never doubted the identity of these people.
Therefore, when Gregory's "spy" came out, he remembered some rumors in recent days:
The Kingdom of Navarre is not monolithic, and there has been a rebellion in the territory of Oulu for many years. It is said that they were wiped out by the kingdom's troops half a year ago, but sporadic resistance still occurs from time to time.
It was all over the tavern of Iedin.
Morris mentally calculated the distance from Oulus to Edin, which coincided roughly with the time when Gregory recruited sailors.
Well, he finally reacted.
I accidentally boarded a thief ship pretending to be a pirate?
He couldn't help but feel a headache.
If it had been a world in which information and transportation were extremely developed in the previous world, Morris's inference, which had no rigorous logic to speak of, would not have been established at all. Is it necessary to label a man a rebel by virtue of his birthplace?
However, this is a different world where the technology tree is gray, productivity is low, and transportation depends only on human and animal power. Even though Iedin was the most prosperous port in Navarre, where many ships traveled from other countries, it was strange that an Olus would suddenly appear.
If it weren't even for Morris's origins, he had known an Oluthian. Well, he simply had a hard time recognizing Gregory's accent.
Not all otherworlds are capable of teleporting magic. At least not with that.
Gregory must have come to Eedin with the task of regrouping the Resistance, and he wanted to gather his scattered comrades, so he disguised himself in the tavern with recruited sailors.
And what is the key to this important task, Morris can't figure out, the available information makes it difficult for him to deduce.
He didn't have to figure it out, because it didn't have much to do with his current situation.
He speculated that Gregory had already suspected his identity when he recruited the sailors, as the process would inevitably attract the real sailors of the tavern, the people who lived by the sea.
But so far, that hasn't happened. The only "others" recruited aboard the ship were Morris himself.
There must be a code that can identify each other among the rebel groups.
Morris's life was not what it used to be, he was born into a powerful family with hairpins in the kingdom of Navarre.
Although he has no attachment to it. But it is the ruling class of the country that this organization wants to subvert.
Apparently, some aristocratic traits he exhibited while drunk led Gregory to mistake him for a spy who had deliberately approached him.
Is it cultivation? Morris didn't believe in his own wine.
Is it clothing? Not the deciding factor. Except for a few poor drunkards in sackcloth blouses. There were also many young soldiers who were frustrated but well-dressed.
What else could say anything about who I am?, Morris's mind raced. Carefully recall the features on your bright side. And when he saw the things that had just been returned to their rightful owners, he suddenly understood.
It's heraldry!
Morris thought to chagrin.
The weapon he took with him when he left home, the three-pound talisman sword, was intricately engraved on his bowl's gauntlet, which was his family's coat of arms.
If he knew it would reveal his identity, he wouldn't be so showy.
This coat of arms is not a name that can only be called by the long-standing heraldic scientists, and it is slightly less famous than the flag of the Kingdom of Navarre, and it may not be recognized by illiterate peasants and drunken pirates who spend their days on the road. But in the eyes of nobles or people with hearts, this is the symbol of the top nobility of the kingdom.
Gregory is the one with the heart.
It was because of this that he suspected that Morris was sent by some big man and knew that he was hiding a spy, so he pretended to invite Morris to board the ship. After boarding the ship, he tried to pry information out of Morris's mouth through beatings and interrogations, and finally dumped him in the sea.
Morris broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he succeeded in the final counterattack. The most dangerous situations have been averted.
This is far from over.
"We can't negotiate. "Leonard, still the fierce but careful attacker. He weighed it over and said, "You don't have enough chips. I can tell you're weak. ”
"Yes, but I can still kill someone. Feeling like he was about to collapse, he had to concentrate to avoid passing out, and he patted Gregory's face, already in a trance from blood loss, "That's my chip." ”
"Don't doubt the determination of a man who might die, who dares to break the net. Morris thought for a moment and continued.
Instead of looking at the other rebel pirates who were scolding, Morris just stared at Leonard single-mindedly. And the latter looked at Gregory, who had passed out with a little worry, "Tell me your conditions." But don't overdo it, mage, the leader's life is important, but not completely irreplaceable. ”
"My partners will support my decision. Leonard gestured to Moris for the rebels around him. He uses the word "companion" instead of the "brother" commonly used by pirates, indicating that he has acquiesced to Morris's designation.
Morris never imagined that this man with such a rough and fierce appearance would have such a logical and rigorous moment, and from the moment Morris boarded the ship, Leonard played a brainless and rude image. Now that I think about it, these were all performances for Morris.
At the same time, their clumsy fishing skills and the cargo they used to conceal their eyes and ears were flawed, and Murley blushed deeply at his sluggishness. He stayed for two days and didn't find out!
What a real idiot I'm in!
Morris thought of something in his head, but his palms were sweaty. He's not the kind of guy like Gregory or Leonard who wallows between life and death, and if his nervousness makes a mistake in his response, he's going to have to give an account here.
