Chapter 264: Walter
Adrian knew what kind of character Captain Jaeger was, he was a good-looking guy, so before he was busy regaining his face, Adrian hurriedly dragged Maffeo out of the tavern. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This was probably the best option in this situation, as he had no idea that Maffeo knew Captain Jaeger and had a conflict with his men. If it was just a brawl, maybe it wasn't that bad. But when Maffeo wielded his weapon, it was different in the eyes of the irascible Captain Jaeger.
"Why are you fighting against Captain Jaeger, he's a beast. Adrian reproached.
Maffeo spat out, "All I know is that he's a bastard." ”
"Well, I don't know what you have with that guy in Jaeger, but you'd better not get into a confrontation with them lightly. Adrian tried to calm Maffeo's emotions.
"He's right, Fry. Sebastian chimed in, saying that he would only agree with Adrian on matters of such safety.
Maffeo only now realized that he still had the greatsword in his hand, and he impatiently withdrew it behind him. "Damn it, they can't do that to Ludwig. ”
"Then tell me how you met Captain Jaeger?" asked Adrian.
"I came to Ruawa from the west coast aboard Captain Jaeger's Revenge, and the crew of their ship was very unfriendly to me. But Ludwig was willing to talk to me and was very friendly to me. I could tell that he had been sailing at sea for a long time, and his mental journey was different from that of other guys. Maffeo crouched down and said with some annoyance.
Adrian nodded, "I can understand that there are quite a few guys who can get very short-tempered after sailing at sea for a while. But some guys are different, they are not much different from usual. ”
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" asked Maffeo.
"I agree, but not in this way. I don't know what you're thinking, but we do need a helmsman. Sebastian spoke, winking at Maffeo.
Maffeo finally laughed: "I can try. ”
"Alright, now, we'd better get out of here before the rest of the guys catch up and try to tear us to shreds. ”
Installing a cannon for the Black Shark is easy to do in the vineyards, as this is a captain's paradise. But just like when it was repaired before, this kind of thing often takes a lot of time. With Kohler's help, Adrian selected the best smoothbore front-loading guns and replaced the bow ramming angle, intending to arm the Black Shark with the most powerful sailing power in the sea, but it was only Adrian's dream. Because to this day, the Imperial Navy does not allow any civilian ship to be armed with more than 24 guns.
Maffeo wasn't interested in the stuff of equipping ships with guns, so he said hello and left the trio as they got tangled up with the harbormaster. Either way, even if he doesn't clash with the Revenge guys, this beautiful vineyard gives him plenty of reasons to explore.
When he met the guy lying at the mouth of the dark alley, it was afternoon. Its fur is dirty, and it has a scabbed wound on its front leg, and it looks like a useless pawn abandoned by the world. But its eyes were the most spiritual Maffeo had ever seen, and he loved the animal. Maffeo stepped forward slowly, and the sheepdog stared at him with its head half-raised, and it had no strength to roar or move, so it acquiesced to the approach of a stranger.
"Oh, poor little one. Maffeo slowly reached out and touched its rough wolf-blue fur.
It was clearly resistant to such a stranger's wanton caressing of its fur, but it did not have the strength to make any movements, and resistance became out of reach. Maffeo must admit that he has been fond of animals since he was a child, especially such a shepherd dog. As the sheepdog whimpered, Maffeo knew that the little one was hungry. "Little one, stay here and don't move, even though I know you can't move, I'll warn you. Maffeo said to the sheepdog in a reassuring tone, and then got up and ran quickly towards the restaurant not far away.
It was well-behaved, and Maffeo could only describe it that way, because he didn't want to admit the cruel fact that it was only hungry and couldn't afford to run. At least in the case of animals, he does not want to accept reality, because small children and animals are what he thinks is hope. The sheepdog's eyes lit up in an instant, and Maffeo was slicing the sausage with his great sword, his movements were clumsy, he had never learned to cook, let alone use a weapon designed for combat. A large sword may be able to easily slash a person to pieces, but it may not be suitable for cutting food.
Maffeo cautiously tossed the sausages one by one, trying not to bite his own hand as the little one bit out of hunger. "Eat, little one. "It eats like a wolf-gobbling Maffeo, even he thinks so. Maffeo sat across from it, watching it swallow slice by slice of sausage. Although passers-by looked at Maffeo with strange eyes, the latter did not care.
Even if it finishes eating the food given by Maffeo, it doesn't mean that it will be able to regain its strength quickly. In just a few minutes, Maffeo made the decision that he would adopt the sheepdog anyway, even if there was an objection from it. He's loved animals since he was a kid, and now he's finally getting the chance to do what he's always wanted to do.
The Shepherd didn't have much resistance to Maffeo anymore, but he remained wary. At least Maffeo was trying to break free as he picked it up. But it didn't have the strength, so the funny look drew bursts of laughter from Maffeo. "Well, little one, I don't know why you're the hell you are. But, I'll take care of you. ”
By the time Maffeo returned to the trio with the sheepdog in his arms, it was already dark. No doubt Adrian and Sebastian were surprised that Maffeo was holding a sheepdog. He only said that he wanted to explore the vineyard, and did not say that he would come back with a dog. Well, they do think it's just a simple dog. Actually, they're right.
"Hey, boy, what are you doing?" Adrian asked, pointing to the sheepdog, puzzled.
"It's on the side of the road, and it's too hungry to move. I thought that since I saw it, then I had to take responsibility. "Maffeo can now boldly stroke its fur, because it doesn't resist anymore.
"Oh, you're so loving, Fry. Adrian laughed.
"Do you like animals?" asked Sebastian.
"Yes, at least dogs and cats I like. As for being like the legendary griffons, that's not necessarily the case, they're usually fierce. Maffeo pouted.
Kohler lit a cigarette and waved at Adrian. "Now I think I need to believe that this kid is a good guy. ”
"Ha, I said he was a nice guy a long time ago. Adrian had a smug look on his face, which drew Sebastian's eyes and Kohler's helpless smile.
There was no housing on the vineyard, and several people did not want to spend money to live in a hotel. In fact, the hotels here are expensive, and Adrian doesn't think it's a good deal. So the Black Shark became the best place to live, and Kohler wanted to set foot on the long-lost ship again.
Now the three of them have ushered in their own time, and they are extremely enthusiastic about each other after not seeing each other for a long time. After buying an entire case of rum from the tavern, they locked themselves in the captain's room and began to drink. Of course, to Maffeo's surprise, they hadn't forgotten the crew, at least each guy got a bottle of rum. Well, he definitely doesn't need alcohol, he just wants to give the sheepdog a good bath.
He carefully placed the sheepdog on the beach next to the Black Shark's mooring, and placed the prepared bucket of fresh water next to it. "Now, let me give you a bath, little one......" Maffeo paused, as if thinking of something, and then smiled. "It's weird to call you the little guy all the time, so I think it's necessary to give you a name. The shepherd dog looked up at Maffeo, his spiritual eyes constantly sweeping over Maffeo's body.
Maffeo thought for a long time, he was not good at names, so the shepherd dog whimpered strangely in front of him, as if he was looking forward to it. "That's right, Walter, your name is Walter!" he jumped up without warning, he was excited, and his sudden movements frightened the sheepdogs.
He waited for an answer, and a moment later the shepherd barked, the first of its kind since it had been weak. Maffeo laughed, happy because he heard hope in Walter's cries.
