Morning on Tata Island usually arrives with the vomiting of pirates with a hangover and still awake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the docks, the most inconspicuous of the pirates who registered the ships was named Matt.
Lately, he has had very bad luck.
First of all, the pirate ship that Matt had been following a few weeks ago had sunk when it was said to be sinking. He was almost drowned, and after being rescued, the fat captain hesitated not to buy a new ship, which completely deprived him of his source of income.
Pirates don't want tomorrow after today, most of them don't have any savings around, and if they have money, they will throw it directly into taverns or brothels, so losing their jobs is equivalent to starving.
Fortunately, the new lord's appointed supervisor, Lady Kate, is recruiting men to manage the growing number of merchant ships passing through Tata Island. Matt ran to sign up, and being able to recognize a few words gave him a lot of advantages, which was stronger than his original fat captain.
finally had a stable job to do, but bad luck still refused to let him go, and he was assigned to the early hours of the morning.
Matt's duty hours are from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. the next morning. He walked around the trestle with a lantern in his hand, yawning uncontrollably. Without a pocket watch, he could only tell from the three flashes of light on the side of the bell tower that it was already three o'clock in the morning.
No ship would have chosen this time to enter the harbor, except for those who had been hit several holes by the artillery and were about to sink in the open sea if they did not return quickly.
Matt put the lantern at his feet and found a wooden barrel to sit down, the wind has been colder these days, and he is not allowed to drink alcohol when he is on duty, so he has to break the rusks he carries with him and chew slowly, hoping that there is some food in his stomach to warm himself.
After chewing a few bites of the unpalatable black bread, Matt jerked his head and saw a wooden pillar with a diameter of one meter appearing in front of him, and sticking straight into his face.
His reaction was not fast, but now he was so cold that his hands and feet were numb, and his brain wanted to dodge, but his body did not obey, and he was about to be hit directly into the sea by the log.
A few centimeters from the tip of his nose, the log suddenly turned in a direction and grazed his ear and poked it. Matt, who was not dead, gasped for breath and tried to stand up, but his feet went weak and fell sideways on the trestle.
The huge ship as high as a hill slowly entered the harbor, and on the top deck, Lukka shouted anxiously: "Oh, I just said that this mast can't swing like this!
"It didn't really hurt, I dodged him!" Daniel was confident in the ship's control.
A figure with a giant sword on his back ran out of the door next to the boat, grabbed Matt, who had collapsed to the ground, and dragged him up, and then the faint light of the lantern went up and down, and turned around and shouted, "It seems that he is not dead!"
Lukka also walked out slowly, and asked kindly, "Are you okay?"
"Lord Lord, Lord Lord!" I don't know if it was cold or scared, Matt can't even straighten his tongue now.
"It's okay, I'll give you these silver coins. Go get a few people to help me move this mast down. Lukka said as he gave Matt five silver coins.
"I'm going to call someone!" Matt trotted to the dormitory.
"It's a good person, but it's a pity it's a stammer. Nora looked at his back and said with a little regret.
At this time, the Silent Death was towing a three-masted galleon with only two masts left.
And the mast, which was removed from another ship, was a bit long, and it was not easy to fix on the deck, and it was always rolling back and forth with the wind and waves.
On a whim, Lukka thought that the artillery windows on the lower floors would be a good idea, so he invited a few guns out of their place, and with great effort, hoisted the mast down the side with a rope and inserted it horizontally into the gun window.
Now, the mast was fixed, but the Silent Reaper carried this crossbar, and everywhere it was in a sweeping posture.
Matt quickly summoned a group of sleepy-eyed pirates back, all of whom were dumbfounded at the huge log. Daniel instructed them to tie the ropes, and Crete took the direction, and by the time the log was transferred to the trestle, the sky was already getting light in the east.
"Alright, let's get to the docks. Lukka slapped the mast a few times in satisfaction, which made the pirates who carried the mast on their feet soften.
Ollie was also sweating, and after watching the pirates carry the mast and sweep over the fruit stalls that they had been too lazy to put away at night, she suddenly remembered something: "I said, why don't you add a weight loss spell to that thing?"
"yes! I forgot about it. Lukka smiled and scratched his head, in fact, now, he consciously saved the use of magic, after all, to solve the solar crisis, I don't know how much magic it will take.
However, he didn't plan to say the reason in front of so many people, especially since there were crowds of pirates who didn't know the truth on the side, and explaining it would only add to the panic.
Then, a violent explosion caused panic.
The sound came from the west, and the flames rose into the sky.
"What blew up?" asked Ollie, turning her head.
"yes, where did it blow up?" Nora, too, tiptoed in that direction.
Crete glanced at it and said, "It was the lord's residence that blew up." ā
Lukka didn't even have time to speak, and he didn't care about the mast, and he led everyone all the way, and before he could enter the gate, he could see from afar the third floor of the building, the highest room with a terrace, which was completely shrouded in flames.
This flame is not the same as Nora's living flame, or Luca's fireball, it is actually colorful, and it also has green and purple colors that are not usually found in fire.
Lukka didn't care about saving magic at this time, and raising his hand was a hail technique that extended the range. He regretted a little that he was lazy and didn't learn the low-level rainfall technique, and now this season, the fire extinguishing range of hail is a little small.
The island's fire brigade also rushed to hear the news. This is the lord's residence, and no one dares to be careless, and the water dragon made of wood continues to rush and spray water.
"Did the people inside come out?" asked Luca as he put out the fire.
Before he could finish speaking, Leon, who was still wearing pajamas, pushed open the door and turned back to order the servants who followed him to evacuate quickly.
"Where's Kate?, who saw my sister?" asked Ollie anxiously, and seeing that no one answered, she raised her foot and was about to rush through the door.
Two more figures suddenly rushed out of the smoke-filled door, Phil was covered in potions of various colors, coughing incessantly, and Linde grabbed his clothes with one hand and dragged him out.
Ollie had just rushed to the door, and a shadow inside seemed to hesitate.
"Oh, it's all this time, get out of here!" With a cry of rage from Kate, Gray was kicked out of the door.
"I didn't expect that in an emergency, sister, you are quite strong. Ollie stopped and said to Kate as she walked through the door.
