Pirate's Window

early morning.

It was just dawn.

On the Solor Chamber of Commerce's trading ship, the crew member responsible for keeping watch opened his eyes in a daze.

He yawned lazily. He didn't have much sense of crisis, and he didn't feel guilty about his secret dozing.

He stood up from the observation deck of the mast and looked out of habit at the hazy town below.

For some reason, he always felt that something was different today.

As usual, Shields Town was shrouded in early morning sea fog. The water vapor lingering between the houses and the port added a psychedelic color to this peaceful town.

The road leading to the coast is still covered in darkness. There are no street lights here, and there are no warm candles to illuminate the direction for travelers.

But he still saw the fire.

He rubbed his eyes and looked elsewhere before his eyes returned to the road leading to the town.

He finally confirmed that he had read it correctly.

In the distance, in the thin mist, there was a faint firelight gradually approaching the coast along the road. The firelight was suspended in mid-air, reflecting a vague black shadow behind it.

From psychedelic to horror, often no special changes are needed.

I don't know if it was because he was standing too high, but he felt that the sea breeze blowing through today was particularly cold.

At this time, it is 04:30 in the morning.

As the figure got closer to the merchant ship, the hand holding the revolver behind his back slowly relaxed.

The black figure coming out of the fog was no longer just a vague outline. He came to the long wooden platform connected to the land where the merchant ship was berthed, and stopped at a certain distance from the merchant ship.

It was a young man holding a lantern and wearing clean clothes. Although his clothes were not elegant, they were more eye-catching than the bloated clothes of the nobles, giving people a simple, fashionable and fresh feeling.

This is a man who pays great attention to appearance. Even if he is not a noble, he must be the son of a wealthy family.

This is the first impression the night watch crew has of the visitor.

So he lowered his guard and climbed down from the observation deck on the mast along the rope.

He leaned half out of the railing and looked down.

Seeing the guarded crew members emerging from the deck, the handsome young man raised his head slightly and used the other hand without the lantern to lift the hair from his forehead.

"this lord"

The young man smiled warmly.

"Are you going sailing today?"

The time is ten o'clock in the morning.

The huge merchant ship has been sailing on the sea for nearly an hour.

Compared with the previous fleet composed of mercenaries, the safety of the large sailing ships owned by the Solor Chamber of Commerce aside, the environment is definitely several grades higher.

In the same job of recruiting people, the treatment that a group of desperadoes and a group of businessmen can provide are really different.

This room is larger than the room on the mercenary ship, and there is an extra table and chair, and even the bed is replaced with soft cushions.

But compared to the luxury cruise ships I had been on in my previous life, it was still far behind.

Chunqiu stopped recalling and didn't think too much.

He stood up from his chair and began pacing back and forth in the room.

I just want to take a ride to Uma Island. It doesn't matter what the living environment is.

However, there must be luxury cruise ships that are specially designed for enjoyment, but the only one who can afford it is a small piece of East China Sea, probably a reclusive Celestial Dragon.

Ok

Anyone who is not a Tianlong would dare to do this kind of thing

It means you are greater than the Celestial Dragons

Chunqiu was habitually angry at the Celestial Dragons. Although he didn't like the Celestial Dragons in his previous life when he was watching anime, he didn't like him now, and he would take out the Celestial Dragons in his mind every once in a while.

He sighed deeply.

Chunqiu knew that this might become a knot in his mind, but he still knew very well in his heart that the reason why he had so much resentment was ultimately because of the unresolved worries about his predecessor.

Although the soul of his predecessor should have been completely eliminated after he inherited all the memories, there are still things left that can affect his emotions inadvertently.

But maybe

He feels the same way just because he and his predecessor are the same kind of people.

Spring and Autumn slowly calm the inner turmoil.

Listening to the footsteps approaching outside the door, he stopped and began to straighten the wrinkles in his clothes.

This set of clothes was completely different from the coarse cloth shirt he wore before.

After all, he used the few Baileys he had left to try to recharge the system, and then exchanged it for [-] Baileys from the fourth unlocked option mall.

The weight of a male reindeer is usually about [-] kilograms, and [-] beli is enough to exchange for [-] kilograms of reindeer meat.

Even if the price rises in the future, it can still be exchanged for [-] kilograms after rounding off.

For Chunqiu, the bounty offered by Gang Leader Qiao is a bit outrageous.

But what's even more outrageous is the pit system. If he hadn't had the courage to try and be full of creativity, it is estimated that this system would never have been able to change on its own.

But judging from the fact that five thousand beli can be exchanged for such a set of clothing including underwear and shoes, this mall is already quite innocent.

After arranging his appearance meticulously, Chunqiu nodded with satisfaction.

He deliberately took the time to choose such simple yet fashionable clothes in the mall, just to establish a persona for himself with discernment and good taste in dressing.

Well, I am very discerning.

As the footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped, Chunqiu's Xiao Jiujiu also stopped abruptly.

He heard a knock on the door and wondered whether he should do the whole show.

If you want to do a full set, you don't need to open the door to people outside immediately, and you have to make a rustling sound and pretend to lazily get out of the chair or bed.

It's too much trouble and it's unnecessary

Recalling the purpose of this trip, Chunqiu quickly came up with the answer.

So, he immediately opened the door.

Standing in the dim corridor outside the door was a stout middle-aged man. Half a step behind the middle-aged man was the crew member who was keeping watch.

Chunqiu was not surprised by the visit of these two people. On the contrary, the two people at the door were a little surprised.

There is nothing surprising about Chunqiu opening the door. The key is that they just knocked on the door.

It was as if they were always waiting for them in front of the door.

I heard footsteps

But people were coming and going in the corridor, and the footsteps were chaotic. It was impossible to determine who would stop where.

The fat middle-aged man is thinking about as many problems as the food in his stomach.

"Two gentlemen, I just want to go up to the deck to get some fresh air. Do you want to come with me?"

Chunqiu showed a warm smile and seemed not to care much about the purpose of their visit.

It turned out to be a coincidence

The middle-aged man suddenly realized.

The cabin is so stuffy, it's normal for people who have always been pampered to get used to it.

The young crew member didn't think too much. He looked at Chunqiu and said:

"Mr. Chunqiu, sorry to bother you, this is the captain of our Agate. Our captain is basically responsible for the economic and trade of Solor Chamber of Commerce and Shields Town."

"Oh"

Chunqiu groaned and stretched out his hand calmly: "It turns out to be the captain. Thank you for letting me get on the ship. If there was no Agate, I really don't know what I would do."

This guy doesn't care about the occasion

There is no reason for you to speak first.

The middle-aged man resisted the urge to turn around and pinch the crewman's neck, and quickly stretched out his hand without any hesitation.

At first glance, he looks like a veteran who has been working in shopping malls for many years.

"Hello, Mr. Chunqiu," the middle-aged man shook Chunqiu's hand symbolically, then immediately relaxed his hand and continued to say seriously: "I am the captain of the Agate, Adam Flavor."

Immediately, he smiled and joked: "Friends who are older than me often call me Xiaohua, and those who are younger than me usually call me Dahua."

Homophonic memes are the most boring

"It's a very nice name, Captain Adam." Chunqiu nodded, his expression unchanged.

"Thank you, I like my name very much too." Adam didn't mind whether his jokes had improved his favorability in the other person's mind. He turned sideways, glanced at the young crew member, and said:

"Mr. Chunqiu is quite satisfied with this boy. Our Solor Chamber of Commerce has always put customers first as its service tenet. If this boy does not entertain you well, or if you have any objections to him, you can just tell me. Although he He is my most proud subordinate, but maybe it’s because I’m so spoiled by him that I feel confident, and I often make trouble recently.”

"He told me before that he entertained an extraordinary guest today. I didn't believe it. I thought he had accidentally offended some guest before telling me that. I quickly thought of apologizing. Now that I saw it, I just I know he didn’t lie to me."

ed.

You continue to make up.

Chunqiu listened quietly to Adam's disguised praise of himself, and really wanted him to look back and see the expression on the young crew member's face that he was almost doubting his life.

Presumably this crew member who was still vigiling yesterday didn't know why he suddenly became the captain's most proud subordinate.

Of course, he believed that the young crew member had reported things about him to the captain, and even gave himself to Adam as a substitute for the ship's ticket.

Otherwise Adam would not come to the door in person.

after all

That's gold.

"Mr. Chunqiu, to be honest, it's not very convenient to talk here."

Seeing that Chunqiu was still cynical and not interested in anything, Adam finally couldn't hold himself back. He was the captain after all, and this was a cabin where people came and went. He actually didn't want too many people paying attention to this place. matter.

It's okay now, no one is observing here, but if you stay for a long time, there will always be people who are suspicious.

Adam wanted more and more to turn around and use his fat belly to pound the young crewman behind him.

He opened one hand and looked like he was here to invite you, and said impatiently: "Mr. Chunqiu, if you don't mind, I still hope you can come to my captain's cabin and taste some good tea and refreshments. Let's continue Talking about how to guide my crew in their work.”

he is in a hurry

Why is he suddenly anxious?

Although the people coming and going in the corridor were doing their own thing and no one stopped because they cared about them, Adam didn't know that there was a slender figure that focused on him from the moment he appeared in the cabin.

On the other hand, Chunqiu didn't care whether Adam was in a hurry or not, but when he heard that there was good tea to drink, his eyes lit up and he finally became more interested, nodded and said:

"Then I'd better obey your orders out of respect and go with Brother Adam on this trip."

As soon as Chunqiu finished speaking, he saw Adam patting his belly happily, laughing twice, waving his hands in a dance, and leading the way: "Brother Chunqiu is so polite, please come over here."

This kind of enthusiastic gesture does have the flavor of taking off.

Chunqiu followed Adam along the corridor towards the stairs leading to the deck. When he came to a corner, he curiously looked at the man standing behind the wall, who had been peeping at their conversation.

This person was wearing a hooded jacket, and judging from his body shape, he was undoubtedly a woman.

In order to monitor them, she even pretended to pass by them once, but because she lowered her head and wore a hat and Adam and the crew blocked her sight, Chunqiu could not see her face.

But this time, it was Chunqiu's turn to pass by her.

He glanced at the woman casually and then looked away.

The woman was still leaning sideways with her head lowered and wearing a hat, hiding her peeping behavior so that no one could see her clearly.

However, Chunqiu still saw something that made his expression change, and his heart went blank for a moment.

That's something you can't completely hide even if you're wearing a hat

That is

Orange hair hanging down from her cheeks.

is her.
