Until the day the Black Shark was ready to sail, Adrian had not been able to win over Captain Jaeger's helmsman, Ludwig. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Although they were very unfriendly to Ludwig, that didn't mean they would give up on such a skilled helmsman, which was what captains needed most at the moment. The best helmsmen were basically drafted into the Imperial Royal Navy, and there were not many talents for captains to choose from.

The Black Shark set sail for noon, the day after Maffeo's fourth reconnaissance of the northern beaches. Adrian kept talking about Ludwig, he really didn't want to give up on such a guy, so he was still making a final effort.

I believe that after more than ten years, Adrian is no longer the reckless boy he was back then. Now he put on a shameless smile and performed all sorts of antics like a clown in front of Captain Jaeger, all just to win over Ludwig, the best helmsman in existence on Vineyard Island at the moment. Although that was only one side of Maffeo's words to him, Adrian chose to believe it.

"Captain Fischer, now you remind me of the royal clown of the Royal Opera House of Vitalon. In the face of Adrian's almost shameless harassment, Captain Jaeger threw out a sarcastic word.

Adrian was still smiling, not caring about the other party's disrespect. "Think about it, Captain Jaeger. You have a place in your strength now, and I believe that what you lack is not a good helmsman. ”

"If you really want Ludwig to play for you, then I think we can make a deal. "Captain Jaeger was cunning, and the deal he was talking about was nothing more than getting supplies or money from Adrian, but he did not promise that Ludwig would be handed over to Adrian.

"Oh, interesting, let's hear it. Edri, acting as if he didn't know anything, replied in a grim voice, and he even filled Jaeger, who was sitting across from him, with a glass of rum.

"Ten crates of sugar, twenty crates of rum and two crates of universal gold coins. "Jaeger is provocative by offering a price that Adrian could not have paid without restraint. Sebastian on the side had already seen it, but he knew that Adrian had his own thoughts now, so he didn't bother him.

"Wow, that's funny. Do you think I'm some kind of rich pirate, Captain Jaeger?" Adrian grimaced, as if he was trying to prove that he wasn't capable of doing that.

"Then I can't help you. Jaeger drank the rum that Adrian had filled for himself.

These conversations filled the tavern, and Maffeo hated the hustle and bustle, so he just stood outside the door and listened. He thought it was ridiculous, even stupid, but he didn't laugh at Adrian, he wanted to be sarcastic. "A scoundrel ran into an old fox, and it was a terminal illness. He said jokingly.

Fit, who was feeding Walter on the side, looked up at him, "What did you say?"

Maffeo gave a thumbs up and gestured to the tavern behind him. "The captains began to trade, and they were careful to keep everything advantageous in their own hands, but unfortunately they chose the wrong price and the wrong object. ”

"What are they arguing about?"

"It's ironic that just a good helmsman, a person, is used as a bargaining chip. Maffeo shook his head regretfully.

"Let me guess, the helmsman is the one you need. In fact, Fitt had guessed what they wanted to do in the first place.

"Have you ever seen a ship helmed by the captain himself, except for your leader, that lovely Mr. Root. Maffeo's smile was sarcastic.

Most of the time he was willing to steer the ship, but only with Ludmila's permission every time, for the Sage's Voice had always been her ship. Fett stroked Walter's wolf's blue fur over and over again, as if seeking solace from it.

"Hey, I'm glad you were able to help me this time, really. Maffeo would say something like that every time without warning.

Fett looked up at Maffeo with a puzzled look, as if there was always something between her and him, and she knew that the other was trying to break the barrier, so she spoke, "In Marcos's words, we are companions. I'm sure any of the other guys are here to help you, aren't they?"

Maffeo laughed, "Yes, that's right. ”

Captain Jaeger had had enough of Adrian's pretending to be foolish in front of him, so in a fit of rage he slammed the wooden table and roared loudly, "Now you listen to me, you old undead captain, if you can't meet my above conditions, then you don't want Coorser to step on your deck!" He was so angry that his saliva almost splashed on Adrian's face.

Sebastian had quietly moved his hand to the hilt of the scimitar at his waist, while Kohler was staring at the crew around Captain Jaeger, who looked bad right now and could draw their weapons at their waists and slash at them at any moment. Adrian still looked like he was going to die, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes. "I apologize for the trouble I have caused you. He pretended to be innocent, which made Jaeger even more angry.

The situation is always changing, as part of what has been negotiated beforehand. Adrian slammed the clay wine glass in front of him to the ground, seemingly inadvertently, and he looked reckless. "Holy, now I've got to lose money again......"

Before Captain Jaeger could react, the black shadow that burst in from outside the door flashed in front of him. His crew reacted, but they were still a little slower. As their hands pressed on the hilts, they found themselves by Adrian's crew with knives against their necks. I don't know if it was intentional or otherwise, but Maffeo was holding a large sword in his right hand and resting the blade on the back of Donner's neck. The latter's face was full of resentment, and Maffeo only lightly increased the strength of his hand in disapproval.

But the worst thing now was Captain Jaeger, and Fitt's cold blade was pressing hard against his neck, which made him so angry that he didn't even dare to move. The eyes of the woman in front of him were extremely cold, and he would not suspect that the other party would cut his neck at any time, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Adrian found a new clay goblet and filled it with rum. "Forgive me, I don't want to see that either. He made a very childish gesture - sticking out his tongue and grimacing, and then drank the rum from the cup.

The deal turned out to be a robbery, and after Kohler took over Donner, Maffeo personally took Ludwig out of the tavern. He had a few bruises on his body, all caused by the beating of him by Captain Jaeger's men. It is true that he does not want to continue working for Captain Jaeger, but there is no guarantee that he will show confidence in the crew of the Black Shark.

Fett knew what kind of foul language Captain Jaeger would spit out after she left, so she simply smashed Captain Jaeger with the hilt of her knife to stun Captain Jaeger, which would make the guys even more afraid to act rashly. So when they left, they were not attacked by words and saliva.

"That's it?" said Maffeo, for at least for now, Ludwig didn't have to put up with the insults.

"That's it, you don't really think I'm going to give that bastard what he wants, do you?" said Adrian with a laugh.

"No, but you're shameless, really. Maffeo shook his head and smiled wryly, believing that Adrian's personality was in the same vein as Marcos, and perhaps he was Marcos when he was younger.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment!"

"Are you alright, Ludwig. Maffeo walked up to Ludwig, who, like a frightened bunny, looked at the strangeness around him, fearing that what he had received from Captain Jaeger would be repeated here.

He said stupidly, "I'm okay, thank you......"

"Well, you just have to do your job. Captain Fischer is not the same as Captain Jaeger, and you can rest assured. ”

Ludwig did not answer, but slowly turned his gaze to Adrian, who was not far away. The latter squeezed out a smile at him, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, as if deliberately avoiding something.

Adrian didn't forget to remind Maffeo, "We'll make him feel the atmosphere on our ship, so hurry up and do what you have to do, Kohler and Miss Fett are waiting for you." Apparently it was not a wise choice for Maffeo to reassure Ludwig now, so at Walter's almost urging call, Maffeo stepped off the Black Shark.
