Volume VI Chapter 13 Falling Ill
"Huh?" Tommy immediately looked up at the sailor on the merchant ship with a telescope, and then picked up his own binocular.
To the northeast, an armed merchant ship flying the flag of the French Imperial Chamber of Commerce is heading for the English Channel.
"Raise the sails, all the sails, and we'll get out of here at once, get around the merchant ship, and ...... north," exclaimed Tommy, lowering his binoculars.
Tommy's ship, with hundreds of crew members, came aboard the Coast Guard 5 and began to hoist the sails, collect the cats, clear the stagnant water, and prepare to go.
"What's going on?" asked Xia Zuo, confused.
It's strange that in the storm last night, Tommy attacked the Imperial sea warship that could have been avoided, and now that the rain has passed, he didn't plunder the merchant ships, but wanted to dodge, how strange?
"We met the British North Sea Fleet last night, and we were attacked, so we can't be spotted...... Tommy quickly explained, and then walked away at once, shouting and commanding.
Soon, both ships were fully sailed, anchored and set sail, side by side, heading north.
The hulls of both ships were a little tattered because they had just been attacked by a storm, and Tommy sent someone to repair them during the voyage.
Tommy, Arya, Shazo, Anthony, and a few of Tommy's cronies return to the captain's room of the Coastguard 5 for a detailed conversation, and Shazo learns about Tommy's experience last night.
Encountered the pursuit of the British North Sea Fleet, Tommy panicked, so he drove the armed merchant ship into the storm, trying to shake off the pursuit, in the storm he met Xia Zuo's Coast Patrol No. 5, he thought it was to chase and intercept the warship of the British North Sea Fleet, so he launched an attack, trying to annihilate, at that time the storm was about to end, he did not want to reveal his position.
It's as simple as that. Tommy is still hiding from the British North Sea Fleet,
After a total of everyone, it was decided to sail the two ships to the port of the Emerald Isle in the southeastern waters of the North Sea, which is a famous pirate port, because of the perennial fog and many coral reefs, except for pirates, it is difficult for the fleets of various countries to find its location, it is an extremely safe pirate port, it is a paradise for criminals.
Afternoon. In the endless North Sea, the two ships turned one after the other, turned to the northeast, and moved at full speed.
"Get out of here, don't take my room, you bandits!"
Xia Zuo had just entered the cabin on the second floor when she heard a commotion, and Miranda's voice was particularly clear, and she seemed to be angry.
At the door of Miranda's room. The pirate sailors assigned by Tommy were all shouting angrily.
"What's wrong?" asked Xia Zuo as he broke through the crowd and looked left and right.
"They're going to steal my room!" Miranda said angrily, pointing to the door behind her. The pirates were so excited that they immediately scolded them, and they can't expect anything nice here, it's a bit unbearable.
"Mr. Xia Zuo!" the lead pirate waved his hand to stop. Nodding to Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo knew this man, named Vane, a middle-aged man with tanned skin from the sun. He was also there during the morning deliberations, and was Tommy's confidant.
He is Tommy's old subordinate and has maintained this group of subordinates since Tommy was imprisoned, and can contact Tommy in prison to help him solve some problems.
"What's going on?" asked Natsuzo, looking at Vane.
"That's ......" Vane began, and Xia Zuo gradually understood the matter.
The matter was simple, Tommy sent some people to the ship, and brought some artillery ammunition and water and food, because there were so many things that some rest rooms were occupied, and as a result, there was not enough living space for these pirates, and Miranda's room was the largest on the entire second floor, which could accommodate eight people.
She's a girl, she used to clean the room, and it's very beautiful, but now this group of dirty and stinky men are going to take possession, naturally it's impossible to give, she can't live in a room with a group of male pirates who don't seem to be good people, although she is also a pirate, but also a woman.
"That's ......" Xia Zuo scratched his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment and looked at Miranda: "Get out of the room!"
"Why, where am I going to stay?" Miranda yelled, looking aggrieved.
"Follow me!" Xia Zuo grabbed Milan's arm and dragged him towards the staircase.
Walking up the stairs to the cabin on the first floor, Xia Zuo led Miranda to the captain's room, pushed the door in, and pushed Miranda inside.
"You will live here in the future!" Xia Zuo said with a smile, it was Miranda who manipulated the Sea Patrol 5 to survive the stormy night safely, and he couldn't say much gratitude, but Xia Zuo felt that it was not too much to give up his room to Miranda, after all, she was a girl, and she always had to take care of some.
"You're a dead pervert, Shameless Bastard......" Miranda suddenly became excited, scolded Xia Zuo, and took two steps back.
Xia Zuo looked stunned for a moment, obviously kindly gave Miranda the best room on the entire ship, how could she scold people?
"Bastard, don't you want to bully me, my sister will definitely beat you to death...... Don't come here!" Miranda saw Xia Zuo take two steps forward as if to say something, and immediately took a few steps back in fear, holding her hands on her chest and scolding.
Xia Zuo seemed to suddenly understand something.
Pulling Miranda into her room and telling her to stay here in the future seemed ...... There is a little bit of a problem.
"I'm not ......" Xia Zuo raised his hand and took a calm posture, trying to explain something,
"Don't come here! bastard...... I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" Miranda seemed to overreact, and wondered if Lu Dao had been left with a shadow in Mark's heart before.
Xia Zuo was helpless, and as soon as his mind turned, he coughed lightly and walked towards Miranda without saying anything.
"Don't come here, brute, disgusting fellow, pervert......" Miranda scolded all the dirty words she could think of, looking very violent, but in fact she was very scared, and stepped back step by step, while Xia Zuo simply didn't say anything, and walked into her step by step.
Finally, Miranda retreated to the innermost part of the room, leaning against the wall, unable to retreat, in fact, she had a musket on her body, and she also had the strength of an intermediate fighter. But she didn't dare to make a move with Xia Zuo, she just kept shrinking back, and slowly moved sideways against the wall to the dead corner of the wall.
"Bastard, stay away from me!" Miranda scolded at the last moment, then closed her eyes, and her body was pressed against the wall, trembling a little, looking like she was too frightened to accept her fate.
Natsuzo was very close to her, staring left and right at Miranda's beautiful face and trembling eyelashes.
Jingle Bell!
Miranda suddenly heard some crisp noises and barely opened her eyes. But he saw Xia Zuo holding a bunch of keys shaking in front of his eyes.
"Hey, self-styled amorous guy, do you really think you're that attractive?" Xia Zuo teased in a teasing tone, and stuffed the big keyring into Miranda's mouth, "The key to the room and the cabinet, I'll go live next door, stay up all night, and have a good rest!"
After speaking, Xia Zuo deliberately gave Miranda a very "disdainful" look. Turned around and swaggered away.
With a keychain in her mouth, Miranda watched as Xia Zuo walked out of the hall and closed the door, her mouth slightly open. The key clicked and fell into her outstretched hand.
Boom!
Miranda threw herself on the bed beside her, pounded the bed with her hands a little frantically, and let out a very girlish hum in her mouth: "Shame on the dead...... Shame on the dead......"
A day later, the two ships had traveled about 120 nautical miles to the northeast. Follow the course and there are at least three hundred nautical miles to the Emerald Isle.
The speed of the two ships was not very fast, with an average speed of only five knots. That is, five nautical miles per hour, the North Sea is a famous shallow sea among the major oceans in the world, most of the sea areas are less than 100 meters deep, there are many shoals, and because of the changeable weather, the speed of the two ships has not been able to rise.
However, if there is no major storm, the two ships are expected to reach the Emerald Isle in three days.
At noon, Xia Zuo came to the captain's lounge with doubts after lunch, it was strange, Miranda hadn't appeared for a day and a night, should she sleep for so long?
Knock knock!
"Miranda!" Xia Zuo knocked on the door and called inside, but received no response.
Xia Zuo frowned slightly, gently pushed open the door, and slowly walked in, just after passing through the short porch, Xia Zuo stopped, he saw Miranda, lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, her face was white and scary.
"Miranda!" Xia Zuo ran over quickly, and called a few times in quick succession when he reached the bed.
Miranda slowly opened her eyes, looking weak, her lips moving, but she couldn't make a sound.
Xia Zuo touched Miranda's forehead, but it was hot, obviously she was sick, and it was probably a fatal cold, otherwise with her strength as an intermediate fighter, she wouldn't have fallen ill so easily.
The night before, Miranda had been insisting on controlling the rudder, and if she wanted to twist the rudder in the wind and waves, she needed to surpass the strength of ordinary people, Miranda needed to use energy, and she was the worst of those people at that time.
She had endured a violent storm and rain in the bitterly cold night, and she didn't see anything wrong immediately after the night, but this sleep brought all the symptoms to the fore.
"What do you want to say?" Natsuzo leaned his ear over.
"Hungry ......," Miranda made a faint sound.
"Oh God, no, I'll take you to Arya first......" Xia Zuo said eagerly, and lifted the quilt, wanting to carry Arya out of the coffin, but the moment the quilt was lifted, he immediately covered it back.
He saw a piece of flesh, Miranda sleeping naked!
"You wait for me, I'll go find Arya!" Xia Zuo immediately added, Arya is a dark wizard, although evil, but the healing ability is more powerful than that of a wizard.
Miranda's finger suddenly moved, and suddenly hooked the fingertips of Xia Zuo, who was about to leave, Xia Zuo stopped and turned his head to look at Miranda.
"Hungry ......" Miranda made a weak voice again, and her little face looked a little aggrieved.
"Good ......" the black line on Xia Zuo's forehead: "I'll give ...... first"
Whew!
At this moment, Haixun No. 5 suddenly shook violently, and the entire cabin tilted sharply, Xia Zuo's body staggered, and he held on to the cabinet next to him.
"What's going on?"
"Chirp!" Outside the window of the ship, a screech of a flying dragon pierced the calm sea in horror......!
