Chapter 121: Tea
The sea breeze blew, Long Chen's long white hair flowed with the wind, he quickly smoothed out his loose hair, sat down on the wooden bench next to him, Xiao Yi also came to his side, and continued to ask, "You are all strange...... Can you tell us about your childhood?"
"Yes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But my childhood was very boring, except for following my brother, and I wanted to become a master like him, all I had to do was to practice hard. Recalling his childhood, Long Chen let out a long sigh.
"It's so much better than me...... I spent my childhood in Chanda, so Long Chen knows Chanda, right?"
He smiled and nodded, and Shoey continued: "I came to Zenda with the homeless people since I was a child, and I have always accepted the help of the residents, and later became acquainted with Count Arassis and Instructor Kebrek, they took good care of me, the Earl said that I was very talented and taught me literature as my teacher, and Instructor Kai also promised to teach me some martial arts, but I was not used to his strict training, so I gave up and lived idly as an ordinary townsman. ā
"Your childhood was dramatic, but you're still a kid now. ā
"I'm fifteen years old, and you're not much older than me, are you!" ...... stupid man" Xiao Yi smirked in response to the other party's joke, and before he knew it, the two had been talking for a long time, and the fog began to slowly fade, and Long Chen's identity gradually changed from an unfathomable sea to a gradually clear stream, for which Xiao Yi felt very relieved.
"It's four years old, but it's nothing, because our experience is surprisingly similar, and it looks like the Seventeenth Passage is almost here, and when the fog clears, I should leave. ā
Long Chen got up and came to the bow of the boat, picked up his cloak and draped it on his body, and suddenly a sword qi shock wave came from nearby and cut his face, and a faint amount of blood flowed from the small wound......
"Stop! I have something to ask you!"
Sig held the wolf and rushed quickly to Long Chen's location, Xiao Yi was enraged by Sige's unchivalrous sneak attack, rushed forward to block him, and angrily scolded: "Sige! What's wrong with you! Why do you make such a ruthless move!?"
"He doesn't care about that hurt at all, does he? Water Dancer ......"
Sure enough, the knife wound on Long Chen's face had healed in an instant, and he couldn't bear the shame and pulled out the knife.
"Why are you attacking me? Are you going to die?"
Seeing that the two of them might start a war at any time, Xiao Yi immediately stood between the two of them and said, "What the hell is going on with you two! Sig you suddenly attacked for no reason, is it you who is wrong?"
"You're speaking in a strange tone, I think you might know something!Let's talk about it!" Sieg slung the knife on his shoulder and walked around Xiao Yi to Long Chen's side.
Long Chen also put away the Tang knife and replied, "I don't know you, and I don't know what you want to ask. ā
"Do you know a man named Odysseus. ā
In the face of Sige's question, Long Chen shook his head in the negative, and Sige continued to ask, "Or Asfa, do you know the name?"
"It's a pity that I've never heard of these two names, so naturally I don't know, so it's better for you to change the question before I lose my patience!"
"Then there's no need to ask...... All I want to know is this, it seems that I have something to do......" Sieg put away the slasher and reluctantly apologized to Long Chen.
Seeing that the anger of the two people in front of him gradually subsided, Xiao Yi sighed with relief: "Really...... What do you think of Sieg, who are those two?"
"It's because I can't remember that I asked!It's true that I'm too anxious, it seems that they have a lot to do with me in the past......" After thinking about it with great difficulty, but to no avail, Sieg shook his head helplessly.
"Asking me was fruitless. But I remember you! The next time we meet, I'll get this knife back, and I better don't forget. ā
Seeing that the fog had cleared and the sun was shining on the deck through the dense clouds, Long Chen jumped onto the railing of the ship's side with a wave of his cloak, reminded Sieg and said to Xiao Yi: "It seems that I have arrived!
He jumped off the deck, and Sig also turned away angrily, but a water dragon attacked from behind him, and the blade of the wolf immediately cut the water dragon away under the wave of his master, and Sige looked at the sea, only to see Long Chen slowly put away the Tang knife and shouted to him: "Parting gift!
"This guy...... It's really looking for death. Looking at Long Chen's distant figure, Xi Ge put away his knife angrily, while Xiao Yi smashed him in the face with an apple, and said, "Stupid! It's okay now, if you fight, it will be troublesome!"
Sieg wiped the apple crumbs off his face and asked rhetorically, "Commander, why do you care so much about him?"
"It's just because he's like me...... They have all lost their partners...... By the way, those two names that Sieg just mentioned?" asked Shoey, who immediately remembered Sieg's words.
"Odysseus and Asfa, I heard these two names in my nightmares...... They seem to have a lot to do with me in the past, and the names are more intimate than Seven and Thirteen. ā
"Really...... I really don't understand you, go tell Nabal to get up, it's time, there's still a few days to go!"
Shoey pushed Sieg away and walked to the captain's room, leaving him alone on the deck, thinking of Seven, Thirteen, and the Ten, Odysseus, and Asfa, Sieg shook his head helplessly, he couldn't really get an answer until his memory was restored.
"What are you doing? It's too dangerous!"
On the outskirts of the Somnus Strait, a sloop ran aground on a rocky reef of more than ten square meters at an angle of thirty degrees, and on the deck of the shipwrecked ship, several sailors were trying to lower their lifeboats and row into the sea, when a majestic voice stopped several people, and the sailors immediately lowered the lifeboats on the sail line and turned to apologize to them.
"Mr. Manid, we must get out of here now, or something might happen to us......"
Listening to the sailors' answers, the leader of the merchant ship, the merchant Manid Lares, who was running around, nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the sun, and replied: "This is an outer ocean, and other merchant ships bound for Gronia will not interrupt their voyages for us, so they can only wait here for rescue!" First mate, how many days will the food and fresh water on board last?"
"Excluding the materials used after the escape, it can only last two days...... Sir, let's row a dinghy back to the main channel!" The first mate also suggested that Manid use the lifeboat to return to the channel.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying, if we are lucky enough to return to the main channel, and they are waiting for us there, it is nothing more than to fall into the well and let us die in the sea, after all, this time the three of us will go to the paradise city to trade, and they will not lend a helping hand to me as a competitor......
"Then we can only wait to die...... This should be Somnus, only the people with their brains in the water will sail here...... Wait!Sir, look what that is!!"
Several sailors pointed to the distant sea level together, and Manid also took out his binoculars and looked at the target, and around the endless sea, he saw a three-masted galleon with a white eagle flag on a blue background approaching in this direction, and Manid, who often dealt with outlaws, happened to know the sign and began to order the sailors to be armed......
"Goshawk...... Damn, I didn't expect the destroyed goshawk regiment to come again! I'm so angry, hurry up and prepare for battle!!"
The sailors of the merchant ship had heard of the once powerful pirate Hero Nabar, so they put down their tools, took up their bows and crossbows, and formed an armed force of more than twenty men, Manid was very confident in his tactical arrangement, so he took out a pocket flintlock pistol from the pouch at his waist, and drew the sword at his waist and stood in front of the captain's room waiting for the goshawk to approach.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a leather apron appeared from below deck and came to Manid's side, this person was Chris Zarvis, the owner of Chanda's grocery store, who had become a layman because of his lack of cash, and accidentally joined Manid's caravan to go to Gronia to trade.
"Lares, are you sure you can stop them?"
"Don't worry, Kerves, I'm also trained in the military, and I'm pretty good at arranging my troops, and it's enough to deal with a reckless man like Nabal!" he replied to Kerves by patting his chest, and then commanded beside the longbowed first mate.
"The Goshawk is a special warship, if we can win against them, we may be able to grab the Goshawk and go to Gronia, but the chances of victory are extremely small, we must grasp the timing to subdue the bandit leader Nabar, everyone work hard!"
About a quarter of an hour later, the Goshawk calmly sailed near the merchant ship, dropped anchor and lowered the lifeboat, and Nabal and Mo Cha rowed to the merchant ship that had run aground to reconnoitre, and Shoy also boarded the lookout and grabbed the telescope in Raguil's hand to look at the position of the merchant ship.
When the dinghy landed on the reef, Nabal jumped out of the boat first, raised his head and shouted at the deck of the merchant ship......
"Hey!!Is there anything alive!?" Mo Mocha immediately kicked him and yelled, "Stinky seal......! Use your pea-sized brain!"
"you, aren't you also an imbecile horse thief! Lao Tzu is just used to shouting, and he just comes to such a voice!"
"I'm stupid, I'm much smarter than you retarded, you don't know how to learn!"
"What's the matter!?I want to fight!!If it wasn't for the head of the regiment to stop me, I would have wanted to beat you up a long time ago!!"
Saying that, the two scuffled together, and before they knew it, they were surrounded by Manid's sailors, and the two quickly pushed each other away and picked up their weapons to resist, but in the face of dozens of heavy crossbows and longbows, the two raised their hands in embarrassment......
"Uh...... Shall we negotiate?" said Nabal, looking at the sharp crossbow pointed at him, lowered his saber and demanded negotiation.
At this moment, Manid came from behind the ship, and as he went, he said, "Yes, Nabal Gershak, I wanted to restrain you, a brave old pirate, in battle, but I didn't expect to send it to the door, and it really took no effort to come!
"Hey, Manid Lares, you're not dead yet!!" shouted at Manid's smiling face with disdain as soon as he saw him.
"Huh? Tea Tristan...... You have stolen all the freight horses in my caravan, and caused me a lot of losses!I didn't expect to get mixed up with Nabar, the pirate leader!!I must make you look good!!" Manid replied angrily.
Mo Mocha replied aggrievedly: "Didn't I replace you with dozens of donkeys to hurry...... What is the loss is not small......"
Manid was already furious, and angrily rebuked: "That's enough! Back then, I went to Djerkhala to make pottery, and I wanted to make a fortune, but you claimed to be a professional horse dealer and walked with me, and in the end, the donkey left behind by stealing the beams and changing pillars was actually bred in captivity by the Djerkhara Chamber of Commerce! As a result, I lost tens of thousands of dinars for no apparent reason! I was also imprisoned by the lord for theft...... Damn horse thief!!"
"Hah...... Anyway, you're still alive and haven't been hanged, so why can't you get along with me...... Just let us go, your ship is running aground anyway, so let's get on board the Goshawk." He suggested with a wry smile.
"No way! we won't fall for you, Nabal is the captain, as long as we hold him, we can still requisition the Goshawk, now honestly call your men over!" Manid pointed his pistol at Nabal's head, but Nabar laughed.
"Correct! Lao Tzu is not the captain of the Goshawk now, look! Our captain is there!!" Taking advantage of Manid's attention being diverted, Nabal immediately stepped forward to pounce on him, and Mo Cha also took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the encirclement, and in the rain of arrows to shake off the sailors behind him, and just after Nabar restrained Manid, the pole of the Goshawk's sails, Shoey aimed his two guns at the merchant ship flag in the distance......
