Volume 5 The Return of the King: 250,000 Miles Home
They took it, although I don't know if they were convinced, but on the surface they did.
The women were released again, and although they were not allowed to bathe, they no longer had to sleep on the floor or in cages to endure the darkness.
They knelt in front of me and thanked me, weeping with emotion. I asked them about their backgrounds, but I got a little confused after asking.
They come from all over the world, and they want to go home!
Fortunately, most of them are pro-Lordaeron and Stormgard, and some are natives of Minasil Harbour. Very few of them were kidnapped, and most of them were tricked. Some went out to work, some worked as servants, and ended up being caught here.
I asked the sailors if they had done anything like this before, and they didn't deny it. When I asked them how many times they had done it, they said that they didn't catch so many every time, generally seven or eight or five or six, and there were very few above ten, and they couldn't tell how many times they had done it. I asked them why they didn't arrest men, and they said they would, but now men can't sell for a price.
This question made me a little curious, and I said what are you going to do with me?
They stopped talking. Later, a man said that the captain of the ship, who knew about it, had been pushed out into the sea to feed the fish.
And when I asked them why you were pirates, they said something that I still remember...... "Revenge is justice!" ”
Suddenly I remembered this, and I asked them, "Who are you?" ”
They looked at me in a bit of surprise and said, "Isn't that obvious?" ”
"You are...... Masonry Brotherhood people? ”
Their faces were complicated by these words, and although they didn't speak, their expressions told me the answer.
"Have you built a base on the other side of the sea?"
The guy named Louis Thompson, who first surrendered to me, shook his head, "No! We're just in charge of delivering the goods to the other side, and there's someone over there to collect them. He said, "But...... We also have competitors. ”
"And competitors?"
He whispered: "There are pirates on the way from Kurtilas to the Western Continent, Blood Sail Pirates!" Pirates of the South Seas! Then he said, somewhat mysteriously, "One of the reasons they surrendered was in case they ran into an enemy." ”
"If you can't beat it, join in." I say.
"No, no, no!" He shook his head, "If you are captured, there is a high probability that you will be executed." He said: "Every captain has a special affection for his subordinates, and although they are all financial connections, they are not easy to build. Therefore, under normal circumstances, sailors are recruited separately in a certain place, and they prefer to be directly executed for the enemy, so that it is not a brainstorm, and there is no need to worry about accidents, if they were sold as slaves before, they are now directly executed. ”
"Then why did you join the Masonry Brotherhood?"
"Now it's called the Brotherhood of Defia." The lad said.
"Why join?"
"Heh......" he laughed, but reluctantly, "to live." ”
"You can live by doing something else." I say.
"It's not nice to be bullied." He said.
"And that's what you're going to do?"
"At least I won't be bullied every day." He looked me in the eye and said.
"Is the leader Van Cleeff?"
"That's right! Do you know him? ”
"I thought he was dead."
"Not really! He's alive. The young man said of him with a look of adoration on his face.
"What kind of man is he?" Seeing this, I asked.
"He's a good guy!" "At least in the fraternity, I'm not oppressed, I'm not bullied, and I'm still paid." ”
"Does your family know you're doing this?"
"I don't have any family anymore." He said. "They all died in the war."
"I'm not going to let the ship go to the Western Continent." I said, "I'm going back." ”
"As you wish." He said.
"We've got to get these women back first." I say. "They don't deserve to be trafficked."
"Send it back...... Which? He was a little surprised.
"Minethil Harbor." I say. "They can go back to their hometowns from there."
The young man shook his head very decisively, he kept shaking his head, what I said was not right all along? "How?"
"When we left Minethil Port...... Something seems to have gone wrong there. He said. And...... We have to return for a reason. Or there are documents at the time of departure, we only have departure documents, no entry documents. ”
"I didn't understand!"
"From Minethil Port...... We have a departure certificate, but no entry documents. "And it seems that something big was going on there when we left," he said. ”
"What's the big deal?"
He shook his head again, "I don't know, we didn't do it anyway." ”
The ship was already on its way home, and I didn't quite understand whether what he said was true, but I knew that if these women were brought back like that, the sailors would not agree!
In the next few days, the ship suddenly lost its usual hostility, and the women did what they could, and they cleaned up the cabins. And some sailors also had a ...... for some of the women inside Affection.
Whether it's a covetous person's body or not, but the atmosphere on the ship becomes very subtle after having a woman in this environment. So there was a moaning of excitement in the bottom compartment at night. It also occurred to me why there were no women on the ship and why.
So the next day I gathered the women together and told them that it was best to be restrained during their time on the ship, for if they were pregnant, they would never see the child, and if you were willing to have a baby for him, I would not want this to happen on my ship. If someone reoffends, I will throw her into the sea.
Eyes swept over them, some of them lowered their heads, some of them looked serious, and some of them were full of disgust.
Then I said to the sailors next to me, if you want to have sex with the women here, I won't care if you go ashore, but it's not allowed here, didn't anyone object to it when I was going to release them the other day? If you are willing to marry the women here, I am willing to fulfill you, but that kind of thing is not allowed to happen here. In the end, if anyone can't bear it anymore, he will definitely regret doing it, and he will lose his qualification to be a man for the rest of his life.
The sailors' faces were much calmer than those of the women. The bunch of guys who weren't Anfen people didn't seem to care. In order to put an end to it, I proposed a whistleblowing system, and once verified, ten gold coins were rewarded. Although it is not said that malicious false accusations are punished, it is true that the same thing did not happen again in the days that followed.
After a few days of sailing, the first mate told me one morning: "The port of Minahill has arrived!" ”
"No entry!" I pointed to the guide side. "To go over there, we need to find a beach...... It's time for them to get off the ship! ”
