First mate is not easy

Lando: "?!"

noob:"……"

Lando: "Squeak!"

As if he heard God talking to himself, the black-haired young man's ashesy face regained its brilliance in an instant. He stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the flame jumping, and he heard Dill sneer from a distance, Immediately afterwards, a lifesaving boat floated towards them—the blond young man standing on the bow with his head held high and one foot on the bow, with an unscrupulous smile hanging from the corner of his lips, the light that Lando saw was The dangling kerosene lamp in his hand...

Behind Dill, there were three sailors paddling furiously.

When Dill approached, he saw three people flopping in the water from a distance. He first sneered at Xiaobai, who had Lando's back behind him, to express his disdain and contempt, then turned his eyes and saw swimming beside them. When the blond girl was a little stunned, she raised the kerosene lamp in her hand and whistled, "Is there anything wrong with my eyes? Why are there mermaids in this kind of place?"

Dill's voice sounded like a rascal, so it's no wonder that the eldest lady was so nervous that she choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, but Lando couldn't stand it and reached out to give her a hand in time. They swam slowly to the side of the boat, and as soon as they put one hand on the boat, they heard Dill say, "Slow down."

noob:"?"

"This boat is too narrow for three people to get on, can't you see?" Dill said blankly, "I'm here to find my little slave, and there's only room for him on the boat."

Xiaobai withdrew his hand without much hesitation when he heard the words, turned his head and said to the person on his back, "Then you go up, and we will swim out."

Lando lay on his back, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Are you still able to swim?"

He saw Xiaobai nodded slightly with an almost invisible arc—but Lando knew that Xiaobai had spent a lot of physical strength climbing to save the young lady just now, and he was still recovering from a serious illness, and now he must He didn't have much strength left, and before he could move his lips, he saw the girl next to them wipe the water from her face and said tremblingly, "It doesn't matter if he can swim or not, anyway, I can't swim." Moved."

Xiaobai thought for a while, then turned to look at Dill: "How heavy can a woman be, take her with you."

Dill shook his head slowly, and said stubbornly, "There are no women on board pirate ships. This is the rule."

"She's valuable." Xiaobai said succinctly, then turned his head and asked the girl beside him, "Tell her who you are."

"My father is the Duke of Oakles of the Frankie, Flandre Oakles. I am going to Sildon by the order of the reigning king of the Frankie, Marcius II, to express my love to Queen Christine The king of our country pays high respects, and I hope that the two countries will have a good relationship forever..." The girl blinked, and when she faced Dill, she no longer had the panic she had when she first saw Lando. Even under the water, Lando could clearly see her slightly raised The chin forms a proud arc—neither humble nor overbearing.

In addition to being very noisy, this woman unexpectedly has some pleasing features.

Hearing this, Dill didn't seem to care about whether the Duke's daughter was the Duke's daughter or not. He just fell silent briefly, as if completely ignoring the huge shipwreck that might hit him on the head at any time. At this moment, he remained calm. It doesn't mean that other people will continue to be calm. A few oars sailors looked at the bottom of the boat that was getting closer to them-when they raised their heads and saw the cute little parasitic conch on the bottom of the boat, they finally couldn't help shouting Voice: "Captain! It's going to fall! It's going to fall!"

As the only calm person on the scene, Xiaobai raised his eyelids, glanced at the hull of the ship above his head with his azure blue pupils, then lightly patted the edge of the ship and continued to persuade: "Kidnapping her, can you change her?" A lot of money—whether it's from Shelton or Frankie, they'll pay for her and get her back."

Girl: "..."

There was a moment of hesitation on Dill's face, but soon, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips to show an unscrupulous smile, hooked his hands at the pirate behind him, and said lightly: "Pull her aboard."

Seeing the success of the negotiation, Lando finally heaved a sigh of relief. Pirate A on their side immediately threw his oars, and stretched out his hand to pull up the shivering little girl who was soaked in the water. After she was done, the pirate immediately let go of his hand, spat two mouthfuls of saliva in the sea, rubbed his hands together and said, "Grandpa Sea God bless you, I had no choice but to touch a woman!"

The girl named "Flando" was curled up with her chest folded to the side just a second ago, fearing that she would disappear, but she suddenly raised her head when she heard the words: "That's enough! Be a pirate or a missionary!"

Pirate A: "..."

But at this time, Dill didn't seem to care about the interaction of the people behind him—from beginning to end, he didn't pay much attention to the young girl who should be quite attractive to a man of his age. After getting on the boat and the boat stabilized slightly, he immediately bent down, put down the kerosene lamp in his hand and clasped the black-haired young man lying on Xiaobai's back with one hand, as if he wanted to pull him aboard— —

Instead, Lando hugged Xiaobai even more tightly: "Let's go together."

A flash of anger flashed across Dill's face.

Xiaobai sighed, as if he had expected such a situation a long time ago, turned his face slightly to remind the black-haired young man behind him: "There is no time for a second negotiation."

Lando leaned on the man's ear and whispered, "You can't swim anymore, and you will die if you don't get on the boat."

At this moment, Dill raised his head and glanced at the bottom of the boat, which was about ten meters away from them on top of his head—the hull would not fall down little by little, and when it fell to a certain height, it would instantly Just hit it head-on... Just as the obtrusive red-haired man said, he doesn't have much time and there is no second option.

But Dill didn't lie, there were four adult men plus one woman on board, and two more people on board, the draft of the boat was too deep to be able to paddle. It just flashed through his mind for a moment but was almost subconsciously rejected by himself——

Before, his gun went off and hit the black-haired young man, and the scene of blood blooming in mid-air was replayed before his eyes.

The pupils in the green pupils narrowed slightly, and in desperation, Dill made a move that he couldn't understand himself - amidst the screams of the pirates behind him, he suddenly jumped into the sea and put The black-haired young man tore off the red-haired man's back and pulled it onto his own. After glancing at the man coldly, before he could make any move, he carried Lando on his back and quickly swam out of the shadows. go.

Everyone on board was dumbfounded.

Even Xiaobai's face, which rarely showed any expression, had a flash of astonishment for a moment.

Lando: "What are you doing?!"

Dill's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up, and swim back with you!"

Lando was stunned: "...did you take the wrong medicine?"

Dill replied angrily: "Wrong, I didn't take medicine today!"

After saying that, he sprinted fiercely, and one of them took advantage of his strength to sprint out about two or three meters away.

Being pulled away by the person on his back, the red-haired man who was light on his body quickly came back to his senses, turned directly onto the boat, and grabbed the fourth oar on the boat—when the whole body The moment he got out of the water, he felt that his whole body was about to collapse. His body was hot and cold, probably because the fever that hadn't healed before had come back again. The continuous series of high energy consumption and extreme tension also consumed He has too much mental power.

Lando was actually quite right, he really didn't have much strength left.

Without a boat, he wasn't sure if he would be able to swim out of the shadows in this state.

Dill made the most unexpected, seemingly unreasonable, but the only best choice to keep everyone alive at the moment—watching Dill dragging the black-haired young man steadily, not much slower than the boat Swimming out of the shadow at a fast speed, the man also breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the frequency of the three oar-wielding pirates behind him, and slid the whole boat out of the shadow together!

About 1 minute later.

When they had just left the shadow of the shipwreck, they even had time to breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear a loud "bang" behind them, and the huge waves almost overturned their small boat. The edge of the hull will not be thrown out of the boat, and the salty seawater is pouring down like a torrential rain, mixed with various parts of the hull that have been shattered, hitting people's heads and backs is painful—— ——But at this moment, the man couldn't care less. When the huge wave swept in, he almost blurted out the name of the black-haired young man subconsciously.

Such a cry was quickly crushed by the roaring waves.

Everything around was in chaos, the man could only hear the shouts of the pirates around him roaring and retreating, when he tried to stabilize his body, blindly trying to find the familiar figure around him—but he He didn't find anything, he saw fragments of wine barrels floating on the water; he saw the corpses of Frankie Royal Navy or pirates washed up by the sea; he saw ships overturned by huge waves Struggling at the bottom; I saw the pirate who was hit on the head by a heavy object carried in the seawater, and I didn't know whether he was knocked out or killed. The pirate sank to the bottom of the sea without a sound...

During the panic, the man saw many things——

Life and death are in front of his eyes in an instant, like a silent drama.

However, he still couldn't see the person he was looking for.

When all kinds of bad thoughts popped up in his mind, the back of the man's hand grabbing the edge of the boat suddenly bulged, and he suddenly realized his mistake: he shouldn't easily put the black-haired young man's Your life is in the care of anyone but yourself.

The edge of the small lifeboat was crushed by him with a "slap".

The sawdust lifted and pierced into the man's palm, but he didn't seem to feel the pain.

[I am Lando Barcelolo, the son of the most famous Captain Barcelolo in the Babylon Sea—don’t look at me like this, I’m actually the one who was born to me... After I die, please find the captain of my fleet Lieutenant Raymond, tell him that I've lost my hair, and my father's last wish is to trouble him to run more errands. As a thank you for running errands, I will give him the Schitz...]

When a huge wave crashed, Frankie's ship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea, and calm gradually returned to the sponge—the last disaster was over, and the pirates who survived the catastrophe were scattered around and remained afloat There are not many boats left, and most people are overturned. They are swimming around trying to find the driftwood closest to them. They are praying in various languages ​​to rejoice that they are still alive, and they are also calling for each other. with the names of their companions...

Some people responded.

Some of them unilaterally called out, and the call was like a stone sinking into the sea.

[If he says 'thank you', tell him 'you should be thankful'; if he smiles happily or gloats, give him a punch for me...]

"..."

In those azure blue pupils, a moment of confusion flashed past.

"Hey?" The man heard the girl's cautious voice calling from behind him, "Sir, the red-haired one, are you okay?"

The man did not look back.

So he didn't know how terrible he looked in the eyes of others at this moment - the bandages on his body were loosened due to the soaking in sea water, revealing his strong back muscles and the faintly visible, But it almost looks like a black totem that is about to disappear. Sitting in the small wooden boat, he looks like a dangerous and lonely beast, exuding a terrifying aura that no one can enter.

Behind him, the girl and the three pirates looked at each other, seemingly at a loss and subconsciously afraid.

After a long time, they saw the man slowly raise his hand, taking off the loose bandages on his face one by one - just as he was about to untie the last layer, all the people on the ship subconsciously stared wide-eyed. While looking at the face under the bandage, the man suddenly stopped what he was doing, as if he suddenly thought of something, he sat up straight and called the black-haired young man again.

"Lando Barcelo?"

……

"Lando Barcelo?"

……

"Lando Barcelolo—"

Called three times, each time was louder than the last time, Flandre who squatted at the stern blinked, and found that the voice of this strange red-haired man was no longer the hoarse voice, it was low and full of magnetism The voice was obviously the same as the voice she heard at the moment when she thought she had an illusion.

She heard the man calling a name with such a pleasant voice, which seemed to be tirelessly calling - this voice gradually overshadowed the shouts of other pirates, mixed with the sound of the sea wind at night, this voice was carried far away... Many pirates put down what they were doing and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

It was obviously a cloudy day, but the torches in the hands of the pirates reflected the sea surface like stars.

When everyone thought that this was another call that would never be answered, suddenly, they heard a "crash" sound from somewhere, accompanied by a coughing sound There was a trembling voice hoarsely saying——

"arrive."

"..."

The tall figure who was squatting motionless on the boat heard the voice, and immediately turned around!

Then I saw a black-haired young man lying on a piece of driftwood at a glance, and beside him was a blond young man who looked exhausted, rolled his eyes and snorted while lying on the driftwood: "There Shit, are you an idiot?"

Seeing that the golden retriever was still his savior, the black-haired young man naturally ignored him, he seemed to have drank a lot of sea water, and his face was as pale as a ghost, and he was stepping on the water, walking slowly. Tun jumped towards the boat where the man was on——when he came to the side of the boat, the man stretched out his hand, as if he didn't bother to care whether the boat would sink, the veins on his arm bulged and he hugged the black-haired young man with all his strength. on board.

Lando got out of dehydration, lying in the man's strong and warm embrace, heaved a sigh of relief: "Damn, I almost died."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the arms around his waist tightened slightly. He turned his head curiously, but unexpectedly met a pair of calm blue pupils. After a long time, he heard Xiaobai beside his ears. He asked hoarsely, "Does your leg still hurt?"

Lando smiled and said, "The pain doesn't feel like it's my own... Why do you still have one bandage left?"

Xiaobai: "None of your business..."

Lando: "Would you like to let me go - in broad daylight, cuddling and hugging won't affect you well."

Xiaobai: "Oh, good."

While talking, he directly pulled the black-haired young man into his arms and held him firmly.

He hugged him like he was holding a lost and found treasure.
