Chapter 166: Another Grilled Eel
In addition to Gray, there are also pirates who also participate in the trials. What made them strange was www.biquge.info Lukka not only did nothing during those three days, but even went to the trial site slowly, and the ship was not even estimated to reach half of its full speed.
Not only that, but following the large group to that location, the Peregrine Falcon actually broke down far away. Neither the diving bell was moved, nor did any crew try to enter the water, it seemed that they just followed everyone to see the excitement.
"Did they give up?" said to himself not far away, Captain Haken, nicknamed the Butcher, looked at the Peregrine Falcon in confusion.
Luca didn't give up, of course, but it was getting late, and the sun was much dimmer than before, and by dusk he could barely see anything.
Not only the Peregrine Falcon, but also many other ships have called it a day and are ready to continue tomorrow, except for a few stubborn captains who insist on fighting at night.
Lukka also lit the lights on the boat, but he still didn't have the slightest intention of starting work, but kept staring at the water beside the boat.
Finally, there was a non-obvious sound of water, but not on the side of Luka that was facing.
He quickly turned around and walked to the side of the ship on the other side. Pippi Shrimp, the head of the killer whale floated up from under the water, and Daniel was on its back, one hand tugging at the dorsal fin of Pipi Shrimp, and the other hand grasping an iron box steadily.
During these three days, not only the captain's boat, but also other ships were restricted from going to sea by the Senate. It's no wonder, who knows if there will be a ship to help with the salvage?
However, the salvage team sent out by Luca in advance was not a boat at all.
Pippi Shrimp had finished visiting family and friends more than two weeks earlier, recovered the Silent Death, and followed the Peregrine Falcon all the way to Tata Island. There were ships coming and going near the port, and the water was shallow, so it didn't want to get too close, so it just wandered not far away.
Knowing the coordinates three days ago, Daniel went to sea to meet Pippi Shrimp that day and went straight to the location given by Gray. His water nature is on par with that of Pipi Shrimp, although his swimming speed is a little worse, but Pi Phi Shrimp still needs to ventilate, and the ghost doesn't need it.
In fact, if Crete could follow him into the water, the search for the iron box would have gone much smoother. Daniel's level of surveying and mapping can only be regarded as passable, and it took two and a half days to find the correct position with only a compass and a sextant on his body.
The sea was full of reefs, and the color of the iron box was about the same as stone, and Daniel's eyes widened, and he rummaged through almost every stone, disturbing dozens of eels that inhabited the reef, and finally found the thing.
By this time, the first pirate ship that had come to retrieve the box had already reached the top of his head.
Daniel and Pippi Shrimp dodged the diving bells thrown from the ship and swam down the ocean floor to the bottom of the Peregrine Falcon, waiting until it was too dark to attract the attention of the other pirates before resurfacing upwards.
"Good work, hard work!" Lukka hurriedly handed over a large bottle of ale, which was more relieving to the ghost than anything else.
"Wait, there's something else!" Daniel didn't take the bottle, handed the box to Luca, turned to the side of the boat, and waved his hand at the shrimp below.
With a flick of the killer whale's tail fin, a black mass was thrown onto the deck.
It used to be Daniel's shirt, but now the sleeves were knotted and turned into a large package, and I don't know what was squirming in it.
"What is it? it can't be a sea serpent, right?" asked Ollie excitedly. Kate, who had been following her and watching curiously, was so frightened that she took several steps back when she heard this.
"Caught a few eels by the way, I haven't eaten this in a long time!" Daniel said, opening his shirt, and sure enough, six or seven plump eels were scattered across the deck.
Of course, he caught more than that, and most of the rest went into the stomach of the shrimp, but fortunately, the killer whales thought that this fish was too greasy, and stopped after eating more than a dozen, otherwise the eels in this area would probably be extinct.
So, everyone had a beautiful meal of grilled eel for supper, and recuperated until the next morning, Lukka waved his arm: "All back!"
Haken the butcher had risen much earlier than Luka, and had already made several dives for his men by this time. In the midst of his busyness, he turned around and found that the Peregrine Falcon had only a distant shadow left.
"It looks like I've given up, and I'm counting on a decent opponent!" Haken couldn't tell if he was happy or disappointed.
Two days later, when he finally returned to Tata Island and parked his boat at the docks, the bell rang just in time to mark the end of the trial.
"It's dangerous!" Haken wiped his sweat, although the weather was much colder this year, most of the pirates were sweating profusely now.
Except for Luca.
He had already taken someone with him, borrowed a few stools from the tavern next to him, and sat at the door of the trial hall, one holding a coconut and drinking it contentedly. The rest of the crew was a stark contrast to Gray's anxious face.
"What the hell have you caught? Let me see first, okay?" Gray paced beside him.
"Be quiet, it's annoying to walk back and forth!" Ollie didn't always look kindly to him.
"Yes. Lukka agreed, "And what's the use of showing you what you've caught? ”
"No, I know the preferences of those patriarchs, and I can help you choose. "Captain Marlowe, for example, is a fan of orange shells and pink-pearls. If you give him a pink pearl as a treasure, you might just be ranked last. ”
"Then you don't say it before we go!" Thea snapped up, not that she still had much disgust with Gray now, but that it was annoyed to hear that someone didn't like jewelry.
"Didn't I mean to say it slowly on the boat? you didn't let me go up at all, and you ran so fast......," Gray explained with a sad face.
"Forget it, we didn't catch any pink pearls. But these veterans have a lot of taste. "Lukka really couldn't figure out how Pink Pearl had messed with that Captain Marlowe.
"When people get old, they will always be a little unreasonable. Gray's words made him gain a huge white eye from Daniel.
Unaware, he continued: "In addition to pink pearls, there are some things that are best not to appear, such as gray conchs, translucent square crystals, and ...... Oops, that's huge!"
Lukka followed his gaze and saw Haken humming from the end of the street, holding an orange shell more than fifty centimeters long.
