Inside Linden City.

As a result of his gambling sprees, Maika squandered all the money he had left.

There are two kinds of brothels in Linden City, one is a mid-to-high-end place with a lord's cover, and there are also supporting facilities for singing and dancing performances and good wine and food. There is another kind, and now the Duchy of Pema is in a depression, which is a cellar set up by ruffians, not to mention it.

Maika doesn't have the money to go to the first place, but she can't afford the second either.

And he has a lot of experience, in this situation, there are too many prostitutes, if someone sells thirty copper coins on the street for a high price, eight or nine are not far from ten, they are pimps.

"Haven't you gotten there yet?"

An old woman took Maika to turn left and right in the dilapidated area of the crowded buildings on the outskirts of Linden City, Maika was already a little impatient, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.

"It's coming."

Finally, the old woman led Maika into a dimly lit alley, turned into a corridor, and stepped up the cramped, cramped and creaky staircase to the second floor.

The old woman knocked on the door three long and two short, and then there was a sound of footsteps inside, the door only opened a small crack, and there was a rusty door chain tethered, and it was found that the people who came were the old woman and a man.

The woman inside didn't say anything, unchained and opened the door.

Maika looked up and down, about thirty years old, his facial features were quite delicate, except for a little thin, he was still alive, his hair was his favorite brown hair, and he was only wearing pajamas.

After paying the old woman five copper coins, Maika entered the door.

Unexpectedly, there was a man sitting on the ground smoking in the room, and Maika thought that he was on the road, and pressed the short axe on his waist to cut people, but on closer inspection, this man had an empty sleeve and was missing an arm.

Seeing someone enter, the man hesitated for a moment, and then left the room with a cane and legs, and closed the door by the way.

It's just a small room, there is no bathroom and kitchen, there is a bed in an area of about ten square meters, and the walls are not soundproof at all.

Only Maika and the woman were left in the room, and the light provided by the fuel lamps was not bright.

Maika sat down on the bed, took off his broad-brimmed hat, he had a few cents of beard, his curly hair had grown white, his nose was high, his eye sockets were deep, and his gray-blue eyes were wandering over the woman.

"I'll pour you a glass of water."

"No need." It's not that Maika is discriminatory, it's just that the last customer was like that, and there was still some taboo, "Who is that man?" ”

"That's my husband, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Maika was silent for a moment.

"You're pretty good-looking, it's impossible."

Maika knows very well that this line of work, whether it is important or not, there is no truth, that person has a few hands, and it is completely useless in this area, and if no one cares, it will not take long to die on the streets.

"Yes, don't look at it like this, I used to be majestic, I was in the navy, but I was lost a hand by pirates, and now I have a little trouble walking, so I have to raise him."

The woman spoke it as if she were talking about something ordinary, she had unbuttoned her blouse, completely exposed, and there was a little charm in the flickering oil lamp.

Maika was silent for a moment.

"I suddenly remembered something urgent."

Maika put on her hat and left thirty copper coins on the bed, and before the woman could speak, he pushed the door open.

The disabled man was sitting and smoking in the staircase aisle, and his figure in the dim corridor with a missing hand was as thin as a ghost, and he was a little surprised to see Mika come out so quickly.

Mika didn't dare to make eye contact with him, and walked away from the building as if she were running away.

More than an hour later.

Maika returned to the ship and saw that the deck was empty, and the window of the sailing room at the end of the bow and stern line was lit, and knew that it was a meeting.

He opened the door and swept around, and there were many people, but no one noticed him.

Because Wren was blowing about the events of the day, it was a pity not to tell the story with his eloquence, and everyone listened attentively.

"I almost died at the time I wipe,

The swordsman still had two strokes, a sword came from the west, flying immortals outside the sky, fast as thunder, crazy as yellow sand, and only a cold light came all over the world.

My heart was shocked, and I immediately operated his free law, he turned into free, he turned into eternal, and suddenly showed his might, this is the invincible law, the top of the immortals, proud of the world, there is my Rennes and the sky. ”

Wren was holding a paper roll of roasted tobacco leaves, and his eyebrows were fluttering, but the hair on his body had not been combed for a long time and was greasy and knotted, and there was a smell.

But the people on the ship are well known, and his method of turning himself into freedom is what Li Si said he had practiced in the art of the emperor, and after listening to the name, he never used it in battle, and still had to rely on his eighty or eighty sledgehammer, and the evil instrument that lived in his left hand.

"Can you be serious?"

Shady couldn't complain.

Maika saw that there were still a few people, the captain, the first mate, and the new tiger man were not there, so they should be talking about things somewhere else.

Wren continued to blow.

"In short, the man knew that he was finished, and hurriedly called out to his companion, but Oakes came with two corpses, and if his companion had to write a tragic word on his lap if he came to life, he was immediately discouraged, and I took advantage of his trance to tear off his arm with a click, and completely destroyed him.

Oakes was ready to ask him something, but the thing ...... It's also a manly, with a very hard mouth, and no intention of taking it.

So, the heart is cold, the heart is flying, and life and death are boundless. ”

Wren took a sip of his cigarette, and did not forget to add the tone particle with a hippie smile: "I'll wipe it." ”

The low-level demon Heywood, as the model tool man on the ship, has already packed all the stolen goods, and only the distribution remains.

The rules on the ship are very simple, the total income is less than 300 gold dragons, 50% is used as public funds, and the remaining 50% is divided equally, and the income exceeds 300 gold dragons, and 200 gold dragons are used as public funds, and the rest is divided equally. Public money is used to keep a pirate ship running, from groceries and sailors' salaries to hull maintenance. All the rest of the additional procurement or recruitment of additional personnel, all the additional expenditures, if they cost more than the public money, need to be voted by the crew, and Lisst counts two votes, and the rest count one vote.

The ledger is in Fen's place, and you can confront each other at any time.

At this time, Morrison glanced at the door, and Maika stood there for a long time not to come in, not knowing what kind of nerves he had.

"Mr. Captain, a well-respected and self-righteous ship doctor has returned."

Morrison always scrapes the knife with a whetstone, and he always smiles when he speaks.

Maika laughed awkwardly and found a place to sit down.

The table was already full of hard dishes, apparently the ship's cook Archer knew that there was a banquet in the evening, killed a sheep in the cabin sheepfold, and prepared a whole sheep banquet in advance, as well as air-dried meat and some dipping sauces, there was no vegetarian at all, and the most important thing on the ship was wine, even if Archer drank all day long, it was about to burst.

At this table, the nobles of the lower rank may not be able to eat one meal in a month, which can not be described as luxurious.

Archer is always unconscious, and four words can sum up this person's life, stir-frying, killing, drinking, sleeping, it's over, unpretentious, and now it's almost to the stage of sleeping.

Maika is good at observing words and feelings, although it is a banquet of spoils, but the faces of several people are not right, Oakes, Wren, Shady, and Wollman, their eyes all have a murderous intent, obviously hiding something.

"How?"

Wollman asked Micah meaningfully, closing the "Travels in Acania" in his hand.

"How's that?"

Maika doesn't know why.

"Of course a bitch, what? Enough strength no. ”

Wollman teased.

"What's the matter, that's it."

Mika snorted haha.

Oakes' tone suddenly became solemn, and the extra-large sword stood on one side, and said to Maika coldly: "I don't know what will happen in a while, but you should know which side to stand on." ”

Oakes thinks it's time to put Swan's affairs on the table, and he doesn't accept the name, and he also gives Finn two months of face, and now that a big order is over, there must be an explanation, and now Lister, Finn and Swan are not there, and they must be talking about waiting for a while.

The faces of everyone in the room were gloomy.

In addition to the drunk Archer, there is also Morrison.

Maika was on pins and needles all of a sudden, and Oakes could be said to be one of the few reliable people on the ship, who didn't play bad stalks, and never saw him joke.

"What's the matter, as for it?"

Maika is also an old veteran on the ship, and this kind of atmosphere has only been seen three or four times.

"Maybe...... Will die. ”

Oakes' tone was so serious that there was no doubt about it.

And in this room, only Morrison can speak effectively.

"Don't be so nervous, Lister is a man with a head, and he has a better chance of opening champagne."

Morrison glanced at Oakes, so it is better not to be a pirate than a serious person, he is suspicious all day long, licking blood from the knife edge, and he is tired.

"I hope so."

Wolman was noncommittal.

At this time.

Li Shi pushed the door in, and his expression was unusually serious.
