Pirates: Knowledge is power

Not long after walking on the roof, Dram came to a two-story building with some age.

However, Drum did not enter through the front door. Instead, he climbed into the house through a second-floor window.

As soon as he entered the house, Dram kicked a vase, making a crisp sound.

"who!"

As soon as Dram entered the room, he heard a scream. Sishali was wearing pajamas and pointed a fruit knife at Dram with a trembling hand.

There were no lights on in the room, so Sishali couldn't see clearly who was coming. She could only vaguely see the figure of a man.

Shishali was extremely afraid of a strange man breaking into her room.

But she did not choose to surrender, and still raised the knife firmly.

"What's wrong with Sisali..." Victoria also opened the door and walked in at this time, but the gleaming long sword in her hand showed that she was not easy to mess with.

Drum said helplessly: "It's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Victoria reacted first and turned on the lights in the room.

After seeing that it was indeed Dram, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But Victoria glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "Please come out the door next time."

In the living room, Dram was sitting on the sofa. Shishali brought a cup of brewed tea to Dram, and then stood aside slightly nervously.

Durham picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He communicated with Tom for most of the night. He was indeed thirsty and needed some tea to moisten his throat.

Victoria sat aside, watching Drum drink tea, then turned to Shishali and said: "Shishali, you go to bed first, I will do the rest."

"But Miss..." Sisali originally wanted to stay a little longer to see if she could help, but under Victoria's gentle eyes, she had no choice but to return to the room.

After seeing Sisali leave, Drum said, "How is the mountain king?"

Victoria picked up the teacup and poured herself a cup of tea. After taking a sip, she replied: "The Mountain King had something to eat and has fallen asleep in the living room on the first floor."

"That's good."

"The Mountain King is your pet. Didn't you realize before that he was actually afraid of fire?" Victoria asked Drum.

Before that, she had never thought that a gorilla that was nearly six meters tall and was not afraid of knives or guns would actually be afraid of fire. This was really strange...

"I don't know, after all, I haven't let the Mountain King touch the fire." Thinking about it carefully, Drum really didn't let the Mountain King touch the flame.

In the Kingdom of Dorosa, the Mountain King lived in his warehouse. His warehouse only stored food, and there was no possibility of fire.

On that cruise ship, because all electric lights were used, there was naturally no flame.

There was a fire in the boiler under the cruise ship, but the Mountain King couldn't get in.

Everything was going smoothly, but Drum didn't expect that after arriving at the Capital of Seven Waters, the Mountain King would actually jump up in fright when he saw the flames of cooking at a roadside stall...

Think of a gorilla over six meters tall and weighing almost five hundred kilograms jumping up...

It instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street. If Drum hadn't pulled the mountain king away in time, it might have caused more trouble.

If you think about it carefully, the Mountain King has lived in the deep mountains and forests for decades, and it is already very difficult for him to understand simple communication.

Although the intelligence of the Mountain King is indeed higher than that of many creatures, it is at best the IQ of an eight or nine-year-old child. Children at this time are still wet their pants. The Mountain King is afraid of fire, which does not seem to be unacceptable...

Victoria took a sip of tea and said, "What are you going to do? The mountain king's weakness can easily be targeted."

After a period of contact with Durham, Victoria still recognized her as the titular captain.

After all, the communication between the two is not like that of superiors and subordinates with unequal status.

Although Dram is stronger, he has no airs at all and his personality is very peaceful and easy to get in touch with.

The communication between them was more like two old friends sitting at the same table having a discussion.

No pressure, nothing annoying...

Because of Dram's recognition, Victoria doesn't have such a big opinion on the crew members recognized by Dram.

In particular, although the Mountain King has a terrifying green face and fangs, he is just like a child in terms of temperament.

Not only is he greedy for food and sleep, but he is also full of curiosity about the world.

After being scolded, the mountain king will feel aggrieved like a child.

This kind of personality is very similar to Sishali, which Victoria can't dislike.

"It depends on the situation. Mountain King's situation should have left a shadow when he was a child. This is a heart disease that cannot be treated with medicine." Drum held the teacup in both hands and said with a wry smile.

There is really nothing he can do about this kind of thing. Physical injuries, no matter how serious the disease is, Dram is confident that he can treat it, but heart disease cannot be treated casually. If it is mild, it will be of no use. If it is severe, the condition will be aggravated again. It can be said that It's very troublesome.

It seems that I have to redeem two more books on psychology, Drum thought.

It would not do him any good to have the Mountain King's mental illness lingering, and it might even become a flaw for him. It would be better to resolve it as soon as possible.

After all, in the new world, anyone with a little bit of strength can play with two hands of fire.

If the Mountain King has always been afraid of flames, then facing those strong men, the Mountain King will be too restrained.

"..." Victoria did not continue to ask, and said: "As long as you have an idea."

She also believed that with Dram's caution, it was impossible to leave such a serious flaw for herself, and he must have a way to solve it.

"Haha..." Dram laughed and said haha, and both of them tacitly agreed not to continue the topic.

"By the way, have you dealt with all the jewelry brought from the cruise ship?" Dram asked as if he suddenly remembered.

Victoria nodded calmly and said:

“I got rid of all the jewelry I brought from the cruise ship.

Excluding handling fees and so on, the total value is 1.6 billion beli, which is currently stored in a box in the basement.

Including the money found on the cruise ship and the Baileys you brought, our current balance totals 2.1 billion Baileys. "

Dram was a little surprised when he heard that there were still 2.1 billion beli left in the current balance, but he did not show it.

"We need a total of 800 million Baileys for this shipbuilding project."

Victoria nodded. Ordinary ships usually only cost 100 million or tens of millions of beli. Ships like 800 million beli are indeed rare, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

As for what kind of ship Drum had chosen, Victoria didn't ask much.

After all, Dram is sensible enough, and there will definitely not be any big problems with the ship he chooses.
