Pirate Codex

It's getting late, and the sky is filled with red clouds.

Today's weather is quite calm, the waves stretch gently without making waves, and a few white clouds gather and disperse on the crimson sky, leisurely and contented.

In front of a remote beach in the northeasternmost part of the island, a slightly dilapidated medium-sized three-masted sailing ship sailed slowly from far to near, and finally stopped on the shore.

A black flag with a strange skull printed on it was flying above the main pole of the sailboat. There was no doubt that this was a pirate ship.

In front of the remote and uninhabited beach, the pirate ship rises and falls with the waves, like a terrifying sea monster, coldly and cruelly coveting the land in front of it.

"Is this right here?"

On the deck of the sailboat, a strong figure pressed his hand against the side of the boat, looking at the island in front of him.

This is a fat, strong man, wearing a pink polka-dot shirt and a gray-stained white cloak behind him. On his big, pear-shaped head, a pair of fierce triangular eyes are staring closely. In front, there is a scar on his left eye, which continues upward and finally disappears into the captain's hat on his head.

"Yes, Captain Ford, in this direction, the only place most likely is the island where the Kingdom of Merigian is located."

"The few supplies she stole have been eaten up by now. Only by replenishing them as soon as possible can we survive."

The person who responded was a tall and thin figure on the right side behind the strong man. He was wearing a dark brown linen garment. Under a pair of short and thick eyebrows were a pair of sinister little eyes. At this time, he was smiling but not smiling. Pull your mouth upward.

"map."

Captain Ford did not look back, still looking into the distance. Only his left hand stretched back and asked his subordinates for a map of the Kingdom of Merigian.

"Ah"

"Oh oh oh"

Standing behind the captain on the left side is an equally fat and strong man, but compared to Captain Ford, he is much shorter. He is wearing a red and white horizontal striped short-sleeved shirt, and there is a huge garlic head under a pair of protruding eyeballs. The nose looks like a fierce honey badger.

The short, fat man was at a loss for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He lowered his head and rummaged through the bag hanging on his waist for a while before finding a map and handing it to the captain.

"waste"

Captain Ford scolded angrily, then turned his head and glared at him fiercely, then took the map, placed it on the side of the ship, and slowly unfolded it.

The Kingdom of Merigian is said to be a kingdom, but in fact it is just a small island country with three cities.

The island is in the shape of a crescent, with the capital Merigian City in the middle, and two coastal cities on both sides of the capital.

The coastal city of Sabai is located to the southwest of the capital, receiving merchants and goods from the south, while the other coastal city of Gojiazhi is located to the northeast of the capital, receiving merchants and goods from the north.

Crescent Island is located in the central part of the West Sea. It has an excellent location. In addition, there is a seaside city on the north and south sides, and there are many large and small docks, which makes the trade here very frequent. Although it is a small country, it can indeed be called a wealthy country.

At the same time, the far-sighted former king also applied to the navy for the garrison of a naval branch, which ensured safety and allowed merchants from the West Sea to communicate more frequently, which also promoted domestic prosperity.

And this pirate ship is quietly anchored on the crescent tip in the northeasternmost part of the island. To the west is the coastal city of Gojiazhi City, and further west from Gojiazhi City is where the navy branch is stationed.

Captain Ford frowned, his fat fingers wandering around the map, and finally settled on it.

"Colin." Captain Ford greeted after thinking for a while.

"Behind" Captain Ford, the tall and thin man on the right side disappeared from his smile and stepped forward with a serious expression.

"Take twenty people and go to Gejiazhi City to search for them. Remember to bring more Baileys so you can bribe those cowardly and greedy ostriches." Captain Ford said with disdain as the fat on his cheeks twitched.

The pirates who gallop on the sea and live and die by their fate naturally look down on the gangsters who hide in the city and think that they are just a group of timid but greedy ostriches.

"A week later, whether we find it or not, we will be here waiting for you."

"Okay, Captain." Colin agreed, then turned and left, laughing, cursing, punching and kicking to greet his men to get ready.

"Kyle," Captain Ford continued.

"Ai" A tall bald swordsman came out of the crowd and came to Captain Ford's side, responding to the captain's call with a loud voice.

"You also take twenty people to the capital city of Merrigian. You also take more Baileys. I will give you a week. Remember, be careful. Now is not the time to provoke others." Captain Ford's words were full of coldness. .

"Understood" the bald swordsman responded loudly, then stepped back without saying a word and prepared to go.

After giving instructions to Kyle, Captain Ford hesitated for a moment before continuing to shout: "Charlie."

"Arrived!" The short, fat man was stunned for a moment, then shouted and took a step forward.

"Take ten people and search the whole area. There should be some villages here." Captain Ford ordered casually as he circled the tip of the moon east of Gejiazhi City.

And the Orchard Village where Arthur is located is naturally in this circle.

"You'd better not be too lazy for a week." Captain Ford frowned and reminded.

"Okay, Captain Ford." The short, fat and strong man Charlie was a little unhappy with the task of searching the village, but then a trace of cruelty emerged and he agreed with a grin.

As the sun was setting, several small boats were put down one after another from the pirate ship, transporting pirates of different appearances to the shore, and then quickly swinging back.

Seeing that all the people being transported had disembarked and the boats were returning to the ship, Captain Ford opened his mouth full of rotten teeth, turned around and shouted.

"Boys, Zuo Man Duo, let's go to Sabicheng"

"Okay, Captain Ford"

The helmsman on the bow responded loudly, stretched out his two thick and powerful arms, exerted all his strength, and turned the rudder to the left.

On the beach, the pirates who had fallen ashore were divided into three groups, gathering together noisily.

After checking his men, the bald swordsman Kyle stood up first, shouted goodbye to the other two teams, and left regardless of their responses.

"It's really unkind." Colin looked at Kyle who was leading the team away with a half-smile, and then looked at the sulky short fat Charlie.

Colin naturally understood the reason for Charlie's anger. For Charlie, who liked women, some stupid women in the countryside were not as considerate and fun as the prostitutes in the prosperous city.

Colin chuckled secretly, and said to Charlie, as if to remind and yet to add fuel to the fire: "Charlie, you have to be more at ease. What we are doing now is under the supervision of the Navy Headquarters."

Charlie's fat face suddenly turned red, and he yelled and cursed: "Colin, who do you think you are? Don't you think you can order me?"

Colin looked at the furious Charlie, raised the corners of his mouth, stopped talking, and just led his men away.

Charlie angrily took a sip of phlegm at Colin's leaving back, and then turned his head, looking at the dense forest in front of him, with a ferocious look on his face.
