When Byron walked out of the captain's room again, he had an extra book in his hand, in addition to a few silver plates that were cleaner than he had licked.

- "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Cookbook"!

In return for his efforts to save the pirate ship, Captain Salman publicly promised him a reward of any one from his collection.

Byron first eliminated the [Storm Ring] that was dead on the opponent's hand.

Quietly activated [Echoes of History] and looked around the collection in the captain's room, but did not find a second strange object that could not be directly identified.

It is confirmed that this [gourmet] is also a poor ghost.

The golden yuan sequence is a bottomless pit.

The moment Salman, who was full of wine and food, spoke up to make him make a choice.

Immediately, as if unable to restrain his instinctive desire, Byron snatched the old-looking cookbook with some rudeness.

"I want this book!"

Salman pretended to think about it for a moment before agreeing very "painfully".

The truth is that this was his purpose, and if Byron hadn't taken the recipe like the chefs before him, he would have had a real headache.

Two drama spirits with their own ghosts, one can play more than the other.

It's a pity that Salman couldn't have imagined that Byron was a genius who had awakened [spiritually] before he became an adult.

And the extraordinary knowledge and hole cards he has mastered are far beyond his imagination.

It's just that Byron is not sure if he is not sure if he has only "1" spirituality under his quantification is enough to take the initiative to use [Echoes of History] to crack the secret of this strange thing.

I decided to take it back first and try it again at night when I was alone.

"Come, Mr. Byron, you've been busy, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?

I've left you a copy.

And the captain has specially approved, we still have fresh light beer to drink today. ”

Byron had planned to go straight back to the galley, not going to come into contact with the pirates on the deck who were divided into several circles and were enjoying good food and drink.

Unexpectedly, little Hans, who had been paying attention to the movements in the captain's room, waved at him from afar, and even ran straight over and enthusiastically pulled him towards his small group.

"Sit down, Mr. Byron."

"Mr. Byron, I'll pour you a drink."

In a few moments, he was invited by a few young pirates to a table made of barrels and planks, and served him wine and meat with great graciousness.

Byron looked around and found that most of the people sitting here were skilled sailors with no low status on the ship.

The leader is the [shipwright] Hans father and son, who are full of affection for him.

The two trainee navigators, Thomas and Parry, are not yet capable of navigating on their own, and have been learning from the former navigators.

During the day, they were conquered by Byron's miraculous navigation, and the enthusiasm on their faces was no less than that of little Hans.

And according to the functional arrangement, in the future, they will also follow Byron, the acting navigator, and learn and work until they can take charge on their own.

The two men already boasted that they were Byron's descendants, and they were honored.

The rest of the people, except for a few veteran gunners, were young pirates who had not been on board for a few days from various sources because of the poverty of their families.

There is also the simplicity (stupidity) unique to this age, and he thinks that Mr. Captain can't be so small-bellied and chicken intestines for a transcendent person, and deliberately suppresses the newcomer.

It is especially worth mentioning that there is also a young man sitting in the corner who is missing two fingers and is only hastily bandaged.

Byron knew that his name was Jon, and that he was an ordinary sailor and kitchen helper, and that he had just helped him handle the ingredients and distribute the dinner.

It's also the unlucky ghost who was bitten off two fingers by [Bloody Eye] Salman at noon today!

There were a dozen people from all walks of life in this small group, and they could barely move a sloop.

None of the most powerful Marines among the pirates were here.

Most of them and the ordinary crew members who were the backbone of the stalwart were gathered under the command of the first mate [Broken Bone] Miles, occupying another corner of the deck.

Listening to the noise over there, the crew with the highest moral level on the Man-Shark were still fighting for Byron.

"Hmph, those people are really white-eyed wolves, don't you know who they are living for?

The Creator will make the ungrateful pay his debts! ”

"The second of the Ten Commandments: Everyone is fair, the capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

Except for the position of Deputy Captain, no other position is worthy of your merits.

Mr. Byron, you should argue with your Excellency the Captain.

If an honest person like you compromise so easily, you will be bullied by others on the ship in the future. ”

"That is, pirates are the freest people on this sea, if we can't reward and punish clearly, why should we let other good pirates join us?"

“......”

Feeling their kindness, Byron, who had just experienced a great change and was wary of outsiders, also had a rare warmth in his heart.

Then he smiled indifferently:

"It's okay, I'm still young, and Your Excellency Captain must be exercising my abilities.

Young people should not be too ambitious and only look at immediate interests.

It depends on the space for development in the collective in the future.

As long as we give selflessly, the captain will see it, and sooner or later we will be promoted and raised, and we will get more rewards.

The better the pirates, the better we will be.

There is a saying that the big river is flowing and the small river is full! ”

In his previous life, as a part-time worker who ate bread and ate until he could sustain himself, he had long memorized this set of words, and even reached the high stage of his own CPU.

Now it is naturally at your fingertips, and there is no disobedience.

When he looked into the eyes of the pirates, he said a big truth to them with sincerity:

"Really, it's a blessing to suffer, and I'm not interested in being a co-captain at all."

If the incompetent person says this, it will only provoke ridicule and be regarded as cowardice.

On a pirate ship, humility and deference are the most useless qualities.

But when these words were uttered by Byron, who had already proven himself, the pirates seemed to see a circle shining above his head.

"What a man!"

A group of people also became more and more determined to have a few more drinks than the other side of the chattering first mate Miles.

Byron is far more suitable to be the first mate on this ship.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Byron wasn't a transcendent like the captain.

A gentleman who is humble, fair, and full of grace to his own people is far more suitable to be a gentleman than that fierce and crazy fellow... Captain! ’

There is even more than one person who suddenly had such a bold idea in his heart.

Apparently.

Even ordinary people who don't understand transcendent knowledge, as long as they stay on this ship for a long time, they can see that the state of their captain is getting more and more wrong.

No one wants to be the next one to disappear inexplicably.

In particular, Jon, the chef who had been bitten off two fingers and had received the new nickname [Eight Fingers], had a hint of hatred mixed with fear flashing in the depths of his eyes.

'Monster! Only to bully honest people like me and Mr. Byron! ’

Although only a small seed was planted for the time being, a small group centered around Byron gradually took shape.

"Ahem, now that the captain has made his decision, this is the end of the matter.

Don't talk about it anymore, let's have a drink. ”

Old Hans, the most sedate of the young people, knocked on the table with his beech pipe and took the lead in holding the beer glass in front of him.

Byron was also gregarious, and touched his cup with everyone, and drank all the fresh beer in the cup.

Beer has a far inferior shelf life to rum, and whether it is on a warship, merchant ship, or pirate ship, this is the first target for quartermasters to eliminate.

However, after drinking the beer, Byron's nose suddenly moved.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the first mate [Broken Bone] Miles's group, he found that they were drinking rum.

The open oak barrel next to it exuded a strange smell of blood mixed with sweetness that he was somewhat familiar with.

It's exactly the same as the bottle of blood-colored Bacardi rum that [Bloody Eye] drank before!

The only difference is that the alcohol content is not as good as the former.

It's like a cocktail, with the same adjuncts in the usual base wine.

Moreover, [Spiritual Vision] also saw that on this group of pirates, who were mainly stormtroopers and killed the most, all of them exuded a blood-colored aura similar to that of the group of man-eating sharks.

"This is the blood wine [blood of battle] that the captain has specially given us, and after his [gourmet] blending, we can gradually grasp the extraordinary power.

In the past, I could only drink it once every half a month.

Now the captain has decided that he can let us have a drink every day, considering that the loss of manpower is too great.

But... Only the true warriors who charge into battle are eligible to enjoy it! ”

First mate Miles said and glanced defiantly at Byron on the other side of the deck.

Extraordinary!

If you are a powerful transcendent person in your own right, and you also have the extraordinary power that you can give to others, you will have infinite centripetal force.

Even if the captain [Bloody Eye] Salman is as terrible as a time bomb, making them live in fear all day long.

For the sake of this big pie, they have always firmly supported the [gourmet].

'Blood wine? Warrior's blood?

The [gourmet] of the normal gold yuan sequence doesn't have this ability. ’

Byron ignored Miles' provocation and wanted to kill him like a dog.

Just thoughtfully, he quickly settled the dinner on his own, and only gave the mutton to little Hans.

Bell, bell, bell...

Soon, a bell rang on the ship.

It's not an alarm bell, it's a nautical clock made by the craftsmen that is striking the time.

Before you know it, it's seven o'clock in the evening.

First mate Miles drank his glass of wine and commanded to all:

"It's already seven o'clock, pack up the deck, check the anchor cables, and hurry back to the cabin to sleep."

[Precept 3: Turn off the lights at 8 p.m., no alcohol thereafter, and no one on deck between 2 and 4 p.m.] 】

As has always been the case on board, the pirates have no objections.

As the circle parted, old Hans took a puff of his beech pipe and exhaled a deep smoke ring.

To the group of young people who had just been on the boat in front of him, he admonished meaningfully:

"A word of advice to you, remember the Ten Commandments of Pirates, and never break the commandments on this ship!"
