Chapter 241 Open-air Barbecue (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Gray McSean, who was taking a nap, was awakened from his sleep by the smell of barbecue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the port secretary of Tata Island and the missing spy of the June Alliance, the pirate lord must take him on the voyage, probably because he doesn't want to leave such an easily out of control on the shore and add unknown parameters to this war. That's what Gray thought.
After boarding the Silent Death, Gray was completely idle, luring the enemy without him, kidnapping carpenters without him, and going ashore to blow up the powder magazine.
He wiped his face with cold water and followed the scent to the stern.
Despite its size, the Silent Reaper, like most sailing ships, was made of wood in its main body, including the deck near its stern.
But now, on the wooden deck, the whimsical captain had built an oven out of stone!
At the beginning of the fire, the body of a fat bird was bubbling in the hearth, and the aroma was overflowing.
"Oh, you're here too!" Lukka beckoned Gray to sit down as he threw charcoal into the hearth.
"That's a lot of people, maybe not enough!" Nora swallowed as she stared at the food.
"There are not enough people to eat. Just taste it, I want to eat when I'm full, and I'll have a serious meal. Lukka picked up an iron stick and stabbed it into the hearth, then shook his head, as if it was still a little hot.
"Why don't you bake in the kitchen?" asked Gray, confused.
"It's fun to have an open-air barbecue, and it's just like eating in the kitchen?" said Ollie.
"Also, you've finally made up your mind to roast that parrot?" Gray hasn't been shutting up these days.
"It's almost the same as roasting you!" the parrot shouted through the mast, although it was not a bird in essence, but when it saw a creature about its own size being made into food, it chose to stay away from it, out of sight and out of mind.
"Find a place to sit, it's not every day that you can eat such a well-trained carrier pigeon!" Luca turned the roast pigeon in the hearth half a circle.
When Gray heard this, his first reaction was to turn around and run. His spy code name was "Pigeon", and he didn't believe Lukka could remember it.
"It's not you, you can't fit into this stove. Lukka rubbed his forehead with his sleeve, and he was sweating to roast the pigeon in the cold.
He turned around and said, "This is the carrier pigeon of the Empire, which is different from the one used by your alliance, it is called a sea pigeon, right?"
Gray sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up from his chair again: "Sea pigeons, those are carrier pigeons of the Imperial Navy, and they are not used in ordinary news!"
"yes, it's a different color than the one you used to use. Ollie said, pointing to a large mass of black and white feathers not far from the ground.
"What about the letter? This pigeon doesn't fly out for no reason, it must carry the letter, you don't burn the letter, do you?" asked Gray.
"Don't worry about the letter, eat it first!" Luca picked the hot pigeon out of the hearth with an iron rod and placed it on the table that was also set up in the open air.
He stretched out his hand to test the temperature, and immediately retracted his finger and said, "Nora, you are not afraid of being hot, help press it, Ollie, you will cut." ”
The deck immediately became noisy, and it was so loud that it was almost impossible for a dozen or so people to make it.
"Nora, don't be too greedy, you can only take a thigh!" Lukka shouted.
"Leave the neck to me!" Mores's taste is a bit tricky.
"Wings, I want wings, the captain said to eat something to make up for something, I just lost two scales on my wings yesterday!" Thea shouted as she jumped in the outer circle.
Lukka didn't go with him, he picked up a towel and wiped the oil off his hands, sat down in a chair next to Gray, and after a long time of fumbling in his pocket, he pulled out a note soaked in oil.
"It's ...... The letter that the pigeon carried?" Gray did not pick up immediately.
Lukka nodded.
"I can't guarantee that I won't pass the news on to the Alliance Navy. Gray hesitated.
"Mores has seen it all, to leak to the league, he is more active than you. Don't you see me take it away!" Lukka said as he withdrew his hand.
"Don't!" Gray quickly took it.
The black grease stains made it a little difficult to read, but on the whole, the content of the letter was not complicated, it was to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Brohn Empire to allow an elite fleet to go into battle against pirates and so on.
"What do you think?" asked Luca.
Gray smiled and replied, "If they really want to go to war, do they need to write such a letter? Which fleet still needs the emperor's permission to fight pirates? This is the sea, and when the carrier pigeon arrives at the news, where will the pirates still have a shadow?"
"Yes, Admiral Max's letter is only an attempt to move out of Carlyle IV in order to suppress his uncontrollable men. Kate also came over and sat down in another chair, where she barely ate.
"Kate, have you ever seen the Emperor's order? I mean, the kind written on paper. Lukka asked, he was actually a little surprised that in the Sunset Islands, the Emperor's order was not called a holy decree.
"Yes, William Kaflin received direct orders from the Emperor several times, and when they asked me to marry that guy, Carlyle IV wrote me this one. Speaking of this, Kate couldn't help frowning.
"Okay, we'll go to the captain's room later, and we'll discuss how exactly the reply order should be written. Lukka smiled.
Gray felt a little embarrassed, his identity as a spy had been revealed a long time ago, but these people didn't care about putting such a secret in front of him, and they didn't seem to worry that he would leak it.
He was about to go back to his cabin to sleep when Lukka suddenly pressed his shoulder.
"Captain Gray, if I'm not mistaken, you're a native of Kita-Kaede Island, right?"
Gray nodded, this is not a secret, his origin has long been clear to these people.
"So, you know a lot about the island's topography?" Lukka asked again.
"What the hell do you want me to do?" Gray didn't plan to go around in circles anymore.
"Okay, Lord Mores said, from Changyue Harbor to the mountain behind the Government Affairs Palace, there is a secret passage that only the locals know, if I send you to the island, do you have the confidence to bring Taylor out through this secret passage?" Luca also asked with a sincere face.
Gray pondered for a moment and replied, "I can't guarantee it, but it's possible." But how are you going to get me to the island?"
