Chapter 21: Hostages (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Finding that the pirate worth 3,000 pounds had changed his makeup and boarded the ship, Klein was suddenly a little vigilant, and smiled and said to the Donna and Denton sisters and brothers next to him:
"I have a friend. ”
He calmly walked towards the fourth boatswain of the "Iceberg Lieutenant General", his gaze locked on the other party.
Daniz, whose smile was already stiff, saw the young adventurer with crazy blood slowly approaching, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart:
Run, Run, Run as hard as you can, Run away even if you use your extraordinary abilities to reveal your true identity!
In his eyes, that restrained and cold adventurer is a real monster in human skin!
Just as Daniz was about to start his action, he suddenly calmed down, because he remembered what happened last night:
The other party did not attack him, let him go!
In other words, he doesn't have to hunt down my hostility, and he can defuse the current crisis through communication...... Running away directly will only intensify the conflict...... "Blaze" Daniz's mind turned sharply, relying on his rich experience, forcibly controlled his legs, and waited in place as if normal.
Klein walked up to him step by step and said with a smile:
"Good morning, we meet again. ”
The gentle and polite smile made Daniz shiver inexplicably, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said:
"Good morning. ”
Klein maintained his character, and his expression turned cold a little:
"What do you do on board?"
"Go to the Rorsted Islands. Daniz, who is also a well-known pirate, replied honestly.
"What are you going to do there?" Crane asked in a flat tone.
Daniz forced a smile:
"Waiting for our captain's orders, there may be a mission. ”
He's probably going to throw me off the ship, but there's a potential risk if a pirate gets on a passenger ship...... After saying that, Daniz mentally guessed the possible developments.
This is a pretty good result for him, and at most a ticket is wasted.
Klein fell silent, so silent that Danitz was creepy.
It took five or six seconds before he spoke again:
"Which cabin do you live in?"
"First class, room 312. Daniz held the ticket in his hand to his eyes.
He didn't dare to look down, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to raid.
Klein nodded invisibly:
"Is there a servant's room?"
"Yes. "Flame" Daniz subconsciously answered, but he was extremely dazed in his heart, and he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's question at all.
Then, he heard the other party say as plainly as he commanded his subordinates:
"You sleep there. ”
Ah, where? I sleep in the servant's room, aren't you trying to drive me off the boat? Daniz was a little stunned, and blurted out:
"Why?"
Klein glanced at him and indifferently spat out a word:
"Hostages. ”
Hostage? He was worried that I was on the ship to make an internal response, so that the follow-up pirate group would hijack the White Onyx, so he planned to use me as a hostage? It makes sense, if this is the case, even if I am driven off the ship now, the attack of the pirate group will not be avoided in the future, and it is better to take a hostage, which is conducive to negotiations...... Shit, I hate this arrogant and indifferent guy who doesn't speak human words, always only says one or two words, or half a sentence, and has to guess the rest! If I didn't really beat him, I wouldn't have communicated with this kind of guy! How could I have thought his temper was very much to my liking? I must have been crazy...... Daniz thought with itchy teeth.
"Okay. He exhaled helplessly.
"Go to your cabin. "Klein maintains the perfect Gelman Sparrow character.
Carrying ...... suitcase, Daniz reluctantly led the monster in human skin into the cabin, to the upper deck, and arrived at room 312.
After opening the door, Klein took a quick glance, only to feel that this place was many times better than the second-class cabin.
The living room is about 30 square meters, connecting a master bedroom and three servants' bedrooms, with a separate powder room with a standard wardrobe and a desk made of mahogany.
Daniz put down his suitcase, looked at the servant's room, and suddenly thought of a very important question:
"Just leave the master bedroom empty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he already knew the answer.
"It's mine. Crane smiled politely.
Sure enough, to guard me...... Daniz was depressed.
Klein took two steps on the carpet in the room, pointed to the door, and said:
"Follow me downstairs. ”
“...... Good. Daniz was a little confused and didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
The combination of adventurers and well-known pirates quickly reached the second-class area and found the room where Crane had been.
After opening the door, Crane did not go in, pointed inside and said to Daniz:
"Pack the things on the table in your suitcase. ”
What?clean up? I'll clean it up for you? Daniz almost froze.
In an instant, he felt a wave of anger rushing to the top of his head:
I, Daniz "Blaze", fourth boatswain of "Iceberg Lieutenant General", a well-known pirate with a bounty of £3,000, how can I be driven like a servant!
Neither my dignity, nor my reputation, allow me to accept such an insult!
Crane saw Daniz the "Flame" turn into a stone sculpture and stand there motionless, so he gave him a cold look.
Daniz's body shuddered for a moment.
He took a breath and replied with a smile more ugly than a cry:
"Okay. ”
He stooped down into the not-so-tall room and quickly put the items scattered outside into his suitcase.
Needless to say, Klein kept it neatly laid out and treated his luggage more than his own.
After doing all this, he carried the suitcase and followed Klein back upstairs.
On the way, he always had the urge to raid the opponent's back, but in the end he endured it.
Back in room 312, Daniz gritted his teeth, swallowed his saliva and said:
"What should I call you?"
"Gelman Sparrow. Klein replied succinctly.
Gelman Sparrow...... Daniz chewed on the name in his heart, swearing that he would never forget what happened today, and that he would definitely let the other party taste something similar in the future!
The captain will definitely help me!, he thought expectantly.
For the sake of the character, Crane did not choose an easy chair, and found a hardwood chair at random to sit down.
He leaned back in his chair, his body bowed slightly, his hands naturally clasped together, and said to Daniz "Flame":
"Tell me about the well-known pirates you know. ”
"There's a lot of that. Daniz replied with some embarrassment.
He stood still, not daring to move, like a servant.
Klein slowly cocked the corners of his mouth and said:
"Follow the bounty. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the chair opposite:
"Sit. ”
Daniz breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down.
He suddenly felt that the other party was not bad, at least willing to give himself a seat.
............
Woo!
The White Onyx departed the harbor, sailed into the vast sea, and sailed at a speed of 13 knots until noon.
Daniz, who was talking dryly, was allowed to stop, took the ticket, led Klein, and found a restaurant belonging to the first class.
The restaurant is elegantly furnished, with a violinist playing in the corner, and a certain barrier between the different tables to ensure privacy.
After walking a few steps, Crane met the Donna family and Cleves and others, who occupied a large table and were waiting for the waiter to bring food.
"Uncle Sparrow!" because of the common secret, the little boy Denton has quietly changed his name.
Donna blinked, fully expressing her doubts.
She clearly remembered that Uncle Sparrow was in second class and should not have been in the restaurant.
Klein smiled and waved his hand, as if he had said hello, and then pointed at Daniz and said:
"He's in for a treat. ”
"That's right......" Donna looked at Daniz curiously, and thought that this gentleman was strange-looking, especially his eyebrows, very unnatural.
Cleves put down his knife and fork and said silently for two seconds:
"Your friend?"
Klein chuckled and turned his head to Danitz and said:
"What do you think of the answer?"
Daniz gritted his teeth first, then smiled:
"Gelman once saved me. ”
Yes, that's right, otherwise I might have been killed by him and replaced with a bounty...... Daniz comforted himself inwardly.
Cleves looked Daniz up and down a few times, but didn't say anything more.
Passing over the Donna family, Klein found a table by the window.
The waiter came over very warmly and handed over the menu.
"Charcoal-grilled veal steak, foie gras in red wine, vegetable salad......" Daniz glanced at the menu and couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to have this kind of ship that has a port dock and replenishment every two or three days, and has enough fresh food. The cans of all kinds come in turns, and it's so monotonous that you want to go crazy, but the sea itself also provides fresh ingredients, hehe, you have to be discerning, we have a sailor on the boat, and he once had diarrhea because of a beautiful lobster......"
As a pirate, he wanted to describe it in the usual vulgar terms, but after looking at Gelman Sparrow's expression, he changed the words in time:
"Diarrhea to the butt and falling out. ”
I have reason to suspect that there is something else, and that though your captain is a woman, women should be very scarce in the crew, and the sailors must be very hungry and thirsty for long periods of time...... Klein sneered, took the menu, and drew it in order of price:
"All of this. ”
"Okay. The waiter's expression did not change in the slightest.
At this time, Klein saw Captain Erlan enter the restaurant and pass by, so he simply said hello to the other party.
When he turned around, he found that Daniz had already turned his head to look out the window, as if looking at the scenery.
"Captain knows you?" Klein asked in an almost declarative tone.
Daniz laughed dryly:
"When he was a boatswain on the USS William V, we fought with them.
"And, besides, I'm one of the more well-known pirates......"
Speaking of this, Daniz remembered his current situation, and suddenly felt a little melancholy, so he changed the subject:
"I've always wondered why the impartial Ayran suddenly left the Navy, when he was already the 'arbiter'. ”
