Chapter 12 Tragedy on the Sea is always like this

Mr. William Turner does have a handsome face.

Unfortunately, the less dignified clothes made him look more like a coachman when he stood next to Miss Swan.

Miss Swan didn't seem to care about any of this, and she happily introduced Mr. Turner to Townsen, not sparing any praise for herself, saying bluntly that he had a masterful casting skill and would soon become the best blacksmith in Port Royal.

Tang Sen was naturally not interested in the blacksmith, what he cared about was the blood flowing in the other party's body.

Of course, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Turner also has good fencing skills.

"Mr. Tang." Facing the strange Oriental face in front of him, William Turner behaved politely and respectfully: "I've heard rumors about you, and even I know Old Bernard... It's the old sailor who won ten gold coins by guessing the heads and tails, and you changed his life. ”

"If money alone can make people happy, I'm happy to do my part." Townsend smiled, "Mr. Turner, do you think money can bring you happiness?" ”

"Of course, at least most of the time." William Turner waved his arm: "Mr. Tang, I think money and status are the lifelong pursuit of most people, and I am no exception, with money, I have the ability to pursue my happiness, isn't it?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Elizabeth who was standing aside, and Elizabeth was keenly captured, and she said bluntly: "Will, you know, I never cared about that. ”

William Turner was a little embarrassed, and quickly bowed his head and said, "Miss Swan, please don't misunderstand. ”

"How many times do you want me to stress it to you? Please call me Elizabeth. ”

"At least one more time, Miss Swan."

"Ahem-" Townsend interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Mr. Turner, I wonder if you're interested in participating in my game?" ”

"Of course! Of course! William Turner's eyes lit up, and he talked to Elizabeth about Mr. Tang's selfishness, wasn't it just to be able to get this opportunity?

At least in the foreseeable future, he may only be able to silently watch Elizabeth and the high-spirited Colonel Norrington pair up, or even enter into marriage, and he, who is only a blacksmith apprentice, who is qualified to step in the foot?

But if you can win Mr. Don's game, everything will be different, and five hundred gold Gini coins, although still far from the high naval officers, are enough to break away from the current class and have the courage to speak their hearts to Elizabeth.

"Good." Townsend nodded reservedly and said, "Let's go to the docks, I think, the people of Port Royal have been waiting for a long time." ”

He paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "By the way, speaking of which, I do know another person, also named William Turner, I think, this is also the fate between us, isn't it?" ”

William Turner was stunned, and after a moment, he suddenly said urgently: "Mr. Tang, my father has the same name as mine, is that man a sailor?" Looks like me? ”

"Unfortunately, the William Turner I know is not a sailor." Tang Sen didn't stop and said, "He's a pirate, of course, now he's not even a pirate." ”

"As for the appearance... You wouldn't want to know, Mr. Turner, that poor man was left with his miserable, creepy shell. ”

Mr. Turner's expression froze.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt." He smiled wryly: "Since my mother's death, I came to the Caribbean to look for my father's traces, and in so many years, this is the first time I have heard news about my father, but unfortunately, my father cannot be a pirate." ”

"The father of the voyage and the mother and son left on the shore, the tragedy on the sea is always like this, isn't it?" Townsend stopped the conversation and said, "I'm sure you'll find your father, Mr. Turner, oh, the docks have arrived." ”

As expected, the docks were already crowded with people, and when Townsend approached, the noise came like a tidal wave.

There is no need to introduce himself, Townsend's face is recognizable enough in Port Royal.

The crowd consciously moved out of the way, allowing Townsend to walk smoothly to the center, and the already tired naval soldiers hurriedly stood up with their guns in their hands, trying to show their energetic appearance, and inside the glass box surrounded by the soldiers, the brilliance of the gold coins was still dazzling.

"Soldiers, hard work."

Townsend wasted no time in talking about the scene, and beckoned to the rear, and Warrant Officer Tom stepped forward carrying the small wooden box that had been prepared long ago.

"I'm here to make good on last night's promise, because the Royal Navy has been working all night to protect citizens' property, and I'm going to give ten gold coins to each person."

He lifted the small wooden box, and the soldiers' eyes were immediately drawn to the gold coins.

"I must stress that, in the presence of the many citizens of Port Royal, this is purely my own gift, and now, gentlemen, will you accept my gift?"

"Of course!" The soldiers shouted.

Tang Sen smiled with satisfaction, counted out ten gold coins from the box, handed them to the nearest navy, and said, "Sir, can I know your name?" ”

"Darwin Paul, sir!"

"Mr. Paul, please don't call me sir, I'm just a traveler."

"Yes, Mr. Tang!" The soldier excitedly accepted the gold coin and gave a military salute: "It is a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Tang." ”

Townsend smiled and patted him on the shoulder as he walked over to the next soldier, "So, what about your name?" ”

"Wallace Corrie! Glad to serve you, Mr. Tang! ”

"Bell Stanford! Glad to serve you, Mr. Tang! ”

“......”

Townsend took the trouble to talk to the soldiers one by one, and in the eyes of everyone in Port Royal, if it were not for the golden coins in everyone's hands, he would have looked like he was comforting the officers under his command.

In fact, even in the face of their superiors, the soldiers have never been so energetic.

It wasn't until he handed the gold coin to the last soldier that Tang Sen clapped his hands and said, "I think the gentlemen are already exhausted, please go back and rest, of course, these gold coins still need to be put on the dock for a few days, I welcome any enthusiastic navy to come and protect the property of citizens, I will not spare a small amount of financial resources, my promise has always been valid." ”

"Mr. Tang... I'm not sleepy, can I continue to guard here? A navy boldly raised his hand.

"Oh, Mr. Dennis." Tang Sen recognized the other party's surname and said with a smile: "I am happy to accept your protection, but I can't delay the business of the navy because of my personal affairs." ”

Townsend naturally had a degree in his heart, if the soldiers were absent from the normal duty of the Navy in order to make money, I am afraid that Colonel Norrington would not be able to sit still.

At least for now, I don't want to completely anger the naval chief of Port Royal.

What's more, how could Townessen's target be this mere fifty navies? By taking turns, I was able to reach more people.

"Protecting Port Royal is more important than these mere things, isn't it?"

Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's ask the gentlemen who are taking turns to work hard." ”
