Chapter 129: Under the Undercurrent
The captain of the "Coral", Purzbilla, stood at the bow of the ship, he looked at the bow of the chopping waves, as if remembering something, and turned back to his first mate: "How many days do we have to get to Mozambique?"
"My captain, now we have a good wind, and we are estimated to be in seven days before we reach Mozambique!" said the first mate, and the sea breeze poured into his mouth, and the triangular sail on the mast was blown like a full moon. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"Well, hurry up, there is a shortage of food in that place now, and we can make a little more money if we can get there earlier!" the captain nodded, and after a while, he asked again, "By the way, how is that kid?"
Purzbila was talking about a small sailor he was sheltering in Sisis, for the sake of the sea god Tira, he was skinny, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and there seemed to be an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness hidden between his eyebrows, if it weren't for his begging for himself to beg for nothing, saying that he was a good sailor, Purzbila would never let this little hairy head his own ship.
However, not long after the little man got on board, he fell ill, and fatigue and stress knocked down the young fellow.
Purzbila felt very irritable, she had recruited a sailor to work, but now it was good that she had to support him in turn!
The most hateful thing is that every time he wants to throw this guy into the sea, but every time he walks up to this child with a high fever and does not wake up, he will hear this child on the sickbed burning and repeating over and over again: "I am the captain's sailor, I can't let him down......"
Hell, this sentence actually made Purzbila feel that if he threw this child into the sea, he would be condemned with a conscience!
Even if he is a good sailor, but his captain is not me, what am I touching?
Each time, Purzbila slammed out of the child's room, slamming the door shut, but each time he focused on getting the sailor to bring the child hot soup and medicine.
Forget it, he's a good sailor, and I'll be a good captain too!
Purzbila thought to himself.
Things in this world are wonderful, often a very important thing, and its success or failure does not really depend on those big people who seem unattainable, but on those who are small and humble and look inconspicuous.
If it weren't for Tang Jie, a little pirate, Mozambique would have become an occupied area of the empire now; if it weren't for Link to bring the true news of Sisis from Mozambique non-stop, Tang Jie would have been kept in the dark by the intelligence network of the Kelsman family; if it weren't for Purzbilla, Link would never have had the life to deliver these messages to Tang Jie, and he would have died of a serious illness on the way; and without these news, Tang Jie would never have been able to return to Sisis in time to save his men and save his fortress.
If Tang Jie's fortress is captured, the Black Dragon King is taken away, his men are killed and wounded, and his majesty is lost, it is difficult to imagine how he will make a fortune in the future, and how he will gain a foothold on the sea in the future.
However, there are no ifs in this world......
History was created by big people, but it was written by small people, and history is so wonderful.
When Link arrives in Sisis, he first learns about the plight of the Alcatraz pirates, and he finds Darius to ask the fat merchant what he should do.
Seeing him like a plague, Darius drove him out of his mansion as quickly as he saw a plague, and said to him: Your companions are almost finished, the sea has been sealed, don't think of sneaking into your island, unless you can become a bird, you can become a fish! The only thing you can do now is to go back to Mozambique as soon as possible, and tell your captain Tang Jie, to get this damn guy back quickly, yes, this damn thing, has he forgotten that he still has a stronghold to live on in Sisis?
Link was shocked, he looked at the sea in trepidation, he didn't know how the pirates on the island were waiting for Tang Jie's return every day, this child who was not yet twelve years old had a thought in his heart: I must tell the captain about the situation here as soon as possible!
With such thoughts, Link frantically searched for ships to go to sea in the port of Sisis, and the ships from Sisis to Mozambique were extremely rare, and Link was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming every day on the harbor.
After five days of anxious waiting in the harbor, he finally came aboard a merchant ship bound for Mozambique, which he finally boarded in vain.
What Link didn't expect was that he was knocked down by the flu almost as soon as he got on board.
Link, who was tormented by a high fever, fought with death in a coma every day, rolled in front of the ghost gate every day, and many times other sailors thought he couldn't survive, but every time he survived, I really don't know what kind of belief this guy has!
While Link was desperately struggling on the brink of death, in the distant Mozambique, Tang Jie was having a headache over a lot of annoying things.
In front of him stood a large pile of documents that needed his approval, while several merchants from the Chamber of Commerce stood outside the door waiting for his reception.
Fiona is really an excellent shopkeeper, except for showing up during important personnel transfers, she basically doesn't come out at all in normal times, and she hides in the white tower to study magic by herself!
Octavier is a strong man in battle, but in other ways, she's not as good as a child......
Forget it, don't mention her!
Tang Jie pressed his hand on his forehead and groaned: "Oh my God, didn't I die in battle, but in front of my desk?"
"Barbaria, Gilgico, you two bastards, where!!" Tang Jie's angry roar came out through the door panel, and the two maids standing at the door secretly laughed, and then watched Barbaria and Giljiko walk into the room with a wry smile.
As soon as these two people entered the room, Tang Jie's angry roar sounded like thunder: "Barbaria, do you want to torture me to death? Hell, look at what I have in my hands?
Since Barbaria saw the overall situation clearly and knew that Fiona's control of the situation was irreversible, he began to work for Fiona with all his heart, he heard Tang Jie's questioning, coughed dryly, and said unhurriedly: "Dear Mr. Tang Jie, you must know that Mr. Vincent, the city defense officer of Mozambique, died in the tragic battle a few days ago, and we need a new city defense officer!"
"Bastard, then elect another city defense officer!" Tang Jie slapped the table and said angrily.
"However, your rejection of our chosen candidate!" Barbaria shrugged her shoulders.
"Hmm, there's such a thing, why don't I remember?" Tang Jie froze for a moment, trying to remember in his brain.
"Yes, his name is Keman Louis, dear Mr. Tanger!" said Barbaria slowly.
Tang Jie raised his eyebrows: "I remember, this guy is really not good, he is Harris's younger brother! I can't let him take over this position! You elect another person!"
Barbaria sighed and looked at the pile of papers on the table, "But, my sir, we have no better candidate!
Tang Jie smiled coldly: "Are you threatening me, Lord Barbaria, do you think I'm stupid if you change the most important positions in the city to someone related to Harris?"
Barbaria said softly or hardly: "Mr. Tang Jie, I am also an old friend of Harris!"
The implication is, if you can reuse me, why can't you reuse him? This is called being virtuous and not avoiding relatives!
"Bastard!!" Tang Jie slammed his fist on the table, almost smashing the hard birch table.
When I'm an idiot, huh?
He looked at Barbaria with his eyebrows raised, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, this murderous gaze really made Barbaria a little frightened.
This old magician knew that this was the expression on his face when he cut down the price-raising merchant in the Kelsman Chamber of Commerce the other day.
It's no wonder that these magicians and Tang Jie have a temper tantrum and make awkward troubles, think about a magic capital as great as Mozambique, and let a pirate manage it, what kind of thing is this!?
These arrogant magicians didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks about His Royal Highness Fiona, nor did they dare to pick their noses and eyes at Tang Jie, the demon king who cut off his head at every turn, but secretly stumbling and making him a little uncomfortable, this kind of thing is still done!
Tang Jie himself knew in his heart that these magicians would definitely disobey him, if they were willing to obey his orders, then the sun would come out in the west!
But seeing them so happy to make trouble for themselves, even a clay man can't suppress the fire!
Tang Jie's head was full of green muscles, he took a deep breath, and repeated in his heart: Calm down, calm down, these guys just want to provoke themselves, and then let themselves loosen up and change people.
The position of the city defense officer is indeed very important, he controls the security and protection force in the city, and the importance of the position is similar to that of the Nine Gates Admiral of the Forbidden City, and the selection and appointment of people must be cautious, such a position must not be handed over to Harris's younger brother!
The reuse of Barbaria is just to borrow his name, and this guy has no name but no power, but the city defense officer is an important position with real power, and Tang Jie still understands the truth of preventing trouble before it happens!
Tang Jie took a heavy breath, he decided to put this matter off for a while, waved his hand to let Barbaria out, and then turned to Giljiko and said, "How is the reorganization of the magic legion in the city done?"
Gilgiko smiled bitterly: "It's just been formed, my lord!"
This former small captain of the magic guard has now become a pivotal figure in Mozambique, controlling the temporarily reorganized Eleventh Magic Legion, and is also responsible for the reorganization of several magic legions in Toucheng.
"Is there any resistance?" said Tang Jie, looking at Giljiko.
Giljiko's face stiffened, he had already been poked in the back, some said that he climbed to a high position by virtue of his sister's relationship, and some said that he obtained this position by betraying him.
Tang Jie seemed to know his difficulties, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Don't think so much, what you have to remember is that we are creating history! Your name will be recorded in the annals of history, but they will not!"
Giljiko was immediately encouraged by Tang Jie's words, and his eyes were full of excitement and passion.
"Those legion commanders who were transferred from their respective positions, they didn't make trouble, did they?" asked Tang Jie.
Giljiko said with a smile: "Your Excellency has already anticipated this in advance, and brought them out of the barracks and announced this transfer order, where can they make trouble if they want to? What's more, their positions have not been demoted, they have just changed regiments with each other!"
"Well, these magic legions are too powerful, and they are stationed in the city, if I don't drop their commander, I won't be able to sleep well! It's good that there is no trouble......" Tang Jie let out a long sigh of relief, "Otherwise, my knife will see blood again!"
These days, he has indeed been a little soft on killing.
Before the merchant of the Kelsman Chamber of Commerce was beheaded in public, he had ordered the killing of many thugs who had taken advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, loot, and rape women in the city, and even killed many profiteers who tried to control and monopolize the materials in the city after the war.
The magicians of Mozambique looked at the heads hanging high on the guillotine in the city, and they all smiled indignantly and helplessly: "Drove out a Kadra pirate, and another Sisis pirate came! When did the great Mozambique become the pirate's backyard?"
Tang Jie put down his thoughts about the reorganization of the magic legion, and asked again: "By the way, when will the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth magic legions come back?"
Gilgiko thought for a moment and said, "Ten days at most!"
"Ten days ......" Tang Jie muttered, he thought of Alcatraz Island, his friends on the island, and Nia and Lilith, and he unconsciously panicked.
How are they?
Ten days at most, I'll wait until these four magical legions loyal to Fiona return, and I'll leave!
These magicians and I don't look at each other!
As soon as Tang Jie made up his mind in his heart, he heard a maid shouting softly outside the door: "My lord!"
"What's the matter?" Tang Jie asked loudly.
"The Countess of the Kelsman family is on her way to Mozambique, are you going to meet her?" said the maid in a soft voice with explosive news.
Tang Jie was taken aback!
What the?
Countess?
What is she here for?
