Lukka quickly stood up, nodded goodbye to the gossip team, and walked out of the restaurant with his mouth shut. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmph, I must have broken something in cabin 1 and was called to pay compensation!" the young woman with heavy makeup remembered the resentment of the wings on Lukka's head.

"Maybe I stole the valuable furnishings in cabin No. 1. The fat woman also speculated.

Arriving at the captain's room, Leon handed Luca a letter.

There are obvious claw marks on the envelope, which should have been brought with it with a closed mouth. When taken apart, the first few lines are in Cretan handwriting.

Captain:

Two black-sailed brigs were found nearby, located in the southern sea about thirty nautical miles from the New Horizon, and it is possible that they have wandered near the New Horizon route, is it necessary to move?

PS: Those two ships look like they're missing a dozen!(This is Ollie's handwriting.) ）

PS: Those two boats look delicious!(Nora's handwriting.) ）

PS: They're too bold and they have to be taught a lesson! (Daniel's handwriting.) ）

It seems that the crew of the Silent Death has reached a consensus.

"Then fight, but remember, since you want to fight, you can't let any of them go, and don't let the flames of war go to the side of the New Horizon. Lukka thought about it, feeling that such an important decision made it unreliable to shut up and dictate, and asked Leon for a pen and paper to write a reply.

Seeing that he shut up and left, Leon suddenly suggested: "Captain Lester, if there is a war over there, we had better avoid it a little." ”

"Do you need to avoid it? Isn't it thirty nautical miles? It can't hit us, right?" A few dozen nautical miles is not too far at sea, but it is enough not to be shelled.

"It's not that they're afraid of stray bullets, it's just that once they start a war, they won't chase after us, maybe they will run near us, and even if there are no shells, the sound of cannons may cause panic among the passengers. Leon explained.

"It makes sense, in the passenger transport business, safety first. Luca couldn't agree more.

Seeing that Lukka had no opinion, Leon opened the hatch and called the boatswain over.

Boatswain Chad looked in his early thirties, a shrewd and capable look, and was recruited by Leon at the dock tavern on Twilight Island. The Dock Tavern is different from the tavern in the commercial district where Leon used to live, not only selling wine and food, but also carrying the duties of an employment agency and a news relay station.

"Changing routes? Chad can't disobey the captain's orders, but he still has the power to give some opinions, "We can sell tickets to Longbow Island, and the passengers will be dissatisfied, right?"

"You don't have to change much, just go around a little bit north, and at most extend the voyage by a day or two, which is not as big as the impact of a storm. Leon couldn't say why, but he just made a gesture on the chart.

"Well, you're the captain, I'll give the order. Chad obviously didn't think so, but he didn't want to say more, after all, he and the other sailors were new to the ship, and he hadn't figured out the captain's temper yet.

It didn't take long for Shut Up to return again, this time with a message. The Silent Reaper had pursued the two ships with black sails south, and according to Ollie, it could move the target's cargo in a few hours at most.

Luka is not so optimistic, with his experience in the past few months, the focus of grabbing the ship is not actually to rob, but to continue to chase, usually chasing a ship is not difficult, this time it is two together, once and the previous one firefights, especially the boarding battle, the other ship will definitely flee.

By the time the first ship is completely subdued, the other one has already run out of more than ten nautical miles, even if it is the Silent Death and the Peregrine Falcon, it will probably take at least two or three days to solve these two hidden dangers.

Of course, this is not too long, and according to Crete's previous observations, there are no other pirate ships nearby, and the safety of the New Horizon can still be guaranteed.

The next day, everything was as normal as usual. Most passengers barely notice that the new Haiping Line has slightly adjusted its downward direction.

After confirming that Lukka was not some mysterious rich man, the gossip gang stopped talking to him, and even when he met him in the hallway, he didn't bother to lower his nose to the ceiling and say hello.

Boatswain Chad, when he met Luca in the sun on deck, would come over and have a few words. Obviously, he was spying on why this guy, who didn't look like a VIP in appearance, was in and out of the captain's room so often.

On the morning of the third day, when Lukka walked out of the hatch, he was confronted by the young woman with heavy makeup. She looked rather angry, holding a lady's heel in one hand and the sailor on duty in the cabin in the other, and shouted, "What kind of service are you? ”

On the pink upper, there was a visible oil trail diagonally. This oil stain is slightly fluorescent, which is obviously different from ordinary cooking oil. As soon as Lucario recalled, it was extracted from wolf's tooth grass, which was generally used to brush the hull of a ship, which could slow down the hull being attached to barnacles and seaweed, affecting the speed of the ship.

The faint glow of fluorescence is the hallmark of this oil, and ships that sail are always stocked with several barrels. However, this kind of thing is usually kept in the bilge, and no one will be okay to take it out and look at it.

"How did this get inted?" Luca's instincts told him that something was unusual.

The young woman with heavy makeup glanced at him, obviously not wanting to talk to Luca, but at this time, one more witness, the captain would have more confidence to double the compensation. She said angrily:

"Yesterday it was a bit hot, and I slept on the deck chair after dinner and took off my shoes next to the decker. When I go back—" she gestured to the fat woman next to her, "brought me slippers, which I forgot to put back on." ”

"But this morning, this fellow—" she pointed to the innocent-looking sailor, "bring me the shoes, and the left foot will look like this!"

The upper of the shoes was pink silk, which was expensive in the Sunset Islands, and the wolftooth-stained fabric was impossible to clean, and it was understandable that she was distressed.

"How much is this worth?" Lukka asked.

"Six hundred silver coins!" said the soiled young woman, who was not at all guilty.

"You're too much!" shouted the sailor who was caught by her, "even if your shoes are expensive, at most they are a few dozen silver coins, how much can you buy for six hundred?

"You!" the young woman with heavy makeup, it should be said that the widow was poked in the sore spot, and she raised her hand to beat her.

Lukka stretched out his hand to stop him and persuaded: "Don't get angry, the compensation will definitely be compensated, but your price is indeed a little higher." ”

"What's so high? For this pair of shoes, I need to buy a matching set of clothes, right? For this dress, I need to buy a few matching pieces of jewelry, right? This whole set is calculated, six hundred is still less!"

Lukka was impressed by her calculations and was about to ask for a few more words.

Boom!

There was a huge sound of artillery.
