Chapter 25: Burial
"Ahh Theodore howled in pain, and lay on the ground in humiliation, wiping the deck with a sackcloth.
Donner stood in the helm with a blank face, oblivious to Osido's gnashing of teeth and invective, just quietly watching the captives who were being washed on the deck,
A naval battle left the entire ship in disarray, and many people died, leaving the deck covered in blood. Donner arranged for the captured sailors, including Theodore and the Magician, to clean the deck.
Although the three of them were willing to die, Donner soon taught them what it means to be a man of the times with a scimitar and a leather whip.
"Smack!" Mike picked up the leather whip and whipped it Ocedo's body, "Don't be cheating and slippery, wipe hard, wipe clean, or Lao Tzu will send you to see the goddess." ”
"Ah!" Oscedo wailed, "please, Lord Chief, stop fighting, I'll wipe, I'll wipe." ”
This Ocedo was not only the butler of the Count of Elinor, but also a knight of the kingdom himself. Although Sir is only the lowest title on the mainland, this is at least a nobleman who makes commoners unattainable.
But now this Sir Ocedo is no longer aristocratic under the scimitars of the pirates.
"Sir, what does it feel like to be enslaved with a whip?" Donner said condescendingly, "I believe you have treated your slaves like this!"
Despite the fact that it was winter, Theodore was still sweating profusely, and he did not know if it was the result of his labor, or if he was frightened by this hateful pirate leader.
He trembled: "No...... No, no, Your Excellency, as a kind nobleman, how could I use such rough and cruel means to treat my subordinates!"
"I usually leave these things to the guards around me. In fact, there is such a sentence at the end, but he didn't say it, and of course he didn't dare to say it.
As a noble knight, when has he done such dirty work, when has he been whipped with a leather whip, this group of pirates who deserve to go to hell is so terrible, I believe that this time to sea, will become an indelible memory for himself.
"Haha, good sir, didn't the king reward you for that?" said Donald, laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Lord Theodore wiped his sweat nervously and said, "No, this is just the kindness and demeanor that a nobleman of a kingdom should have. ”
"Then, noble lord, please wipe the deck cleaner! Donner chuckled, then glanced at the other two beside Ocedo.
The middle-aged magician named Morey was reluctant to do such a dirty thing at first, but he didn't expect to quickly succumb to the scimitar, it seems that the magician is also afraid of death.
As for the other young guard, Donner found something extremely interesting.
This guard in a knight's suit was actually a woman disguised as a man, and when Donner saw his appearance at first, he was still sighing, it was so unreasonable that a mere guard was so handsome, and he was faintly a little jealous in his heart.
Later, I accidentally discovered that this thing actually did not have an Adam's apple, and then under Downer's careful observation, I found out that this young guard was really a woman dressed as a man.
Moreover, Donner found that it seemed that both Lord Osido and Mr. Magician were secretly defending the young guards, intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to regard this young man disguised as a man more important than himself.
It's more interesting, I wonder if this girl is the daughter of Osido, or the daughter of the Wizard Morey, or is there some other noble identity?
Donner touched his chin, he didn't debunk it on the spot, but secretly noticed it in his heart.
It took more than an hour for the captives to clear the deck, and then the two sailing ships set sail.
The captive sailors would also control the ships, and Donner separated them into two ships to assist the pirates, and then arranged for Matthew to take someone to guard Ocedo and the magician: "Matthew, keep an eye on this Mr. Magician, and if he moves his lips, kill him." ”
Donner didn't know how much magic was power, but he was vigilant, and he didn't want to be overshadowed by the magician.
Hearing Donner's arrangement, Matthew nodded, and then Donner turned around and left to arrange other things.
The corpses of the sailors hired by Theodore are thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and the dead brothers of the pirate regiment need to find a suitable island to bury.
Downer didn't know the nearby sea, but Hans knew what small islands were nearby.
The two sailboats set sail again, and dozens of corpses were thrown down where they had fought, and the blood that flowed red the sea water.
When the ship left, there were rolling waves, and the smell of blood attracted a group of deep-sea monsters, and a huge tentacle broke through the sea level.
The thick tentacle of the adult waist had a sucker with sharp teeth at the top, and the tentacle rolled up a corpse and wrapped it, devouring the corpse in a single breath, and then blood dripped down from the tentacle suction cup like raindrops.
After the two ships disappeared completely, the small sea was calm again, as if nothing had happened.
The two ships, guided by Hans, sailed north for more than an hour before arriving at a small island.
The island, which is only one or two square kilometres long, is a sandy island, covered with trees and thatch, and on which countless flocks of seabirds are roosting.
It seemed that there were no footprints left on the island, but the arrival of a sailboat broke the peace, and the seagulls and sea eagles circled in alarm.
The sea near the island is very shallow, and the two pointed bottom sea boats cannot get close after a distance of more than 1,000 meters, otherwise they will run aground on the beach near Sand Island.
Donner spoke, and Hans led the pirates to lower a few small wooden boats into the sea, and then carried the corpses of Willy and the other pirates to the island.
The sand on the island was relatively loose, and a dozen large pits deep were quickly dug by the pirates. Donner watched in silence as Hans and the others put the pirates' corpses into the sand pit one by one, and then filled it with sand.
Donner had some trees cut down, and in front of each of the graves, and put one in front of them, and Donner carved names on them with a knife, the owners of which he was not very familiar with, but who were now carved by him.
There are no flowers in front of the tombstones, and there are no epitaphs on the tombstones.
A group of pirates who were at sea and whose hands were stained with countless blood died quietly on the sea, buried on this nameless island, and perhaps drowned in the sea at a certain high tide, forgotten by time.
The pirates stood in front of these tombs, standing silently behind Donner, with an unprecedented solemn ceremony, which made these pirates have an inexplicable feeling.
They drew a triangle on their chests and prayed aloud: "Guys, may there be no suffering in heaven, and no killing in heaven." ”
"Rest in peace, brothers! ”
Donner looked silently at the wooden tombstone with the word Willie engraved by himself.
He whispered in his heart: "Captain Willie, I don't want to either, but...... If you don't die, I won't get what I want......"
