A Pirate's Counting Life

Mark handed the treasure to Sang Qi and asked him to exchange it for banknotes. He reached out and took the package from the other party. Mark took out two stacks of Baileys and handed them to Sang Qi.

“These are the boarding fees me and another partner got”

Sang Qi glanced at Mark hesitantly, and seeing the sincerity of the other person, he took Bailey's hand tremblingly.

"Sir... you're welcome"

After seeing Mark return to the room, Sang An's cheeks twitched. Each room here requires an additional [-] beli. After thinking about it for a while, Sang An decided to forget about it.

He was a little scared now thinking about the scene where the other party massacred the pirates.

In the next few days, the merchant ship encountered another group of pirates. Amid the cheers of the guards, Mark carried the body of the pirate captain back to the deck.

A guard quickly stepped forward to compare the bounty. After learning that it was another unknown person, Mark kicked him back to the pirate ship.

Everyone on the ship was in awe of this strong man who suddenly appeared. Some single ladies even boldly winked at Mark.

If this were the case in his previous life, Mark might have half-heartedly shouted, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."

But now Mark just wants to say, "There is no woman in his heart to draw his sword. A woman will only affect the speed of his sword draw, but a beautiful woman will not."

The guards jumped onto the pirate ship excitedly and started their treasure hunting journey. Soon they brought back two treasure boxes.

Sang An gave an offer of 80 yuan, and Mark nodded slightly and approved the other party's offer.

Mark didn't ask for Bailey, but looked at Sang Qi seriously. Just when Sang Qi thought Mark was going to make some embarrassing request to him, Mark looked away and waved to Shirley upstairs.

Shirley happily trotted to Mark's side, took out a pamphlet from her arms and handed it to Mark

"You give this money to the owner of this shop and call it food money."

Seeing that Mark didn't make any special request for him to warm the bed, Sang An breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the name of the store and nodded seriously.

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely hand over the money to him in full."

Mark nodded slightly, then patted Sang Qi's shoulder lightly, and said in a calm tone, "I will send someone to ask the hotel owner. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

"Don't worry, my lord"

Mark used the color of knowledge to carefully sense Sang Qi's emotions, and after discovering that there was no guilt or fear, he smiled and nodded at the other party.

The journey afterwards went smoothly without encountering any more pirates, which made the guards on the ship a little unhappy.

After all, going treasure hunting on a pirate ship is a very happy thing. The merchant ship slowly sailed into O'Hara's port.

Mark was walking in front and several strong men came towards him. Just when Mark was about to teach the other party a lesson

The leader of the man showed a smile on his face and said respectfully, "Does this adult need to carry goods? The most important thing in our Dali Gang is a strong man."

After speaking, he also made a few fitness poses towards Mark. The clothes on his body were stretched out and made a slight sound, as if they would be bursting in the next second. The men behind the strong man also imitated their boss. action

"I'm not the steward of this ship. If you have anything, you can ask him."

Mark pointed at Sangqi behind him, then pulled Shirley and quickly walked around several strong men.

Watching a group of muscular men showing off their muscles in front of him was really jarring, and Mark was a little afraid that they would invite him to wrestle in the next second.

Although I could punch him one at a time, I still felt sick in my heart.

Mark pulled Shirley all the way to the town before letting go. A trace of pity flashed in Shirley's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at her left hand. Then she looked up and saw Mark asking something next to a little boy.

"Hey, little guy, do you know where the Tree of Omniscient is?"

The little boy sniffed and ignored Mark's question. He looked at the lollipop in his hand seriously, thinking about where to start.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Mark reached out and grabbed the lollipop from the other party's hand, stretched out his tongue and licked it. The lemon taste was a bit sour.

Before Mark could comment on the quality of the lollipop, the little boy's expression changed from daze to shock to crying. The whole process only took two seconds.

Mark felt that it was a pity that the other party did not perform the face change. He shook his head and licked the lollipop in his hand. The little boy cried even harder, with snot and tears flowing to his mouth.

Looking at it, Mark frowned and took out a hundred Baileys from his arms helplessly and put it into the little boy's hand.

Looking at the little Bailey boy in his hand, he stopped crying instantly, sucked back the snot that was close to his mouth, blinked his big eyes and looked at Mark, and quickly pointed in a direction with his right hand.

“An hour’s walk over there is the Tree of Omniscientity.”

Mark chewed the lollipop into pieces in his mouth, then returned the lollipop to the little boy, and quickly took away the one hundred Baileys he had just given.

He grabbed Shirley, who was still in a daze, and ran in the direction pointed by the little boy, disappearing from the little boy's sight in the blink of an eye.

The little boy looked blankly at the stick in his hand, and then at his empty left hand.

“Wow wow wow!!!”

A pitiful cry vibrated in the air, attracting the side glances of passers-by. Seeing that the little boy was not in danger, the passers-by also chuckled and shook their heads.

It's normal for children to cry, as long as there's no danger

"how could you do this"

Shirley yelled at Mark angrily, with a round face. Mark used his tongue to lick off the candies stuck to his teeth, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't I give him a hundred Baileys? He didn't refuse the compensation either." Yeah, he even showed us the way.”

"But why did you take Bailey back again?"

Shirley looked at Mark with a scum-like look, as if she wanted to kill the bad guy in front of her with her eyes.

"Didn't I return the Bangbang to him? I think there's nothing wrong with him eating the Bangbang and me eating the candy."

Mark shrugged as if it was natural. Shirley blinked her big eyes as if she wanted to refute. Mark didn't give her a chance to speak and said confidently, "Children must learn to share with others, so that they can make friends."

Seeing that Shirley still wanted to say something, Mark quickly raised his hands and said begging for mercy, "Okay, okay, I was just joking with him. When we finish the work, I will pay him ten lollipops."

Seeing that Mark fully realized his mistake, Shirley nodded slowly, then took out the booklet and carefully wrote down ten lollipops on it.

Mark rolled his eyes. He just wanted to try what it felt like to grab a child's lollipop. He had already memorized the other person's appearance. After asking about the parchment scroll, Mark wanted to tease the other person.

After walking for half an hour, an ancient tree appeared in their sight. This was the first time Mark had seen such a big tree.

He knocked lightly on the wooden door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps inside. The wooden door slowly opened and an old man wearing a white robe with messy hair lifted his eyes and said in confusion.

"Are you two from out of town? If you want to visit the Tree of Omniscientity, please come over on Wednesday. We will have someone dedicated to receive you. We will not see guests the rest of the time."

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Mark quickly reached out to hold the wooden door, and when the old man was about to get angry, he took out the scroll.

"This great doctor, we are here to ask you to help me interpret the words on this. You can rest assured that the price is negotiable."

When he heard Mark mentioning money, the old man's expression immediately darkened, and he said in a bad tone, "It is a very impolite behavior to mention money in front of a scholar! Interpreting texts and studying history is what we want in our lives!"

Looking at the old man who was about to start preaching mode, Mark quickly raised his hands, "Yes, yes, you are right, I am superficial, I apologize to you."

The old man's face became a little better. He reached out and took the sheepskin scroll from Mark's hand. After opening it, he looked at the words on it and said with some surprise.

"Quick! Tell me, where did you find this thing? Is there anything in the building around it?"

"Um...this is the trophy I obtained from a pirate. I don't understand what you are asking about."

The old man's excited expression disappeared instantly, a dim light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I need to find someone to study this thing quickly. You can come back tomorrow."

Mark nodded slowly and was about to say something when the old man closed the door.

Mark looked at the wooden door with an embarrassed look, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his anger.
