First mate is not easy

If the pirates on the Mora under Dill's deliberate training are indeed a group of well-trained desperadoes who are good at close combat, then these so-called "desperadoes" are well-trained , In front of the Knights Templar who have survived countless wars, they can only be called a group of little milk dogs who can only bark "嗤嗤"—not to mention, riding a horse and boat is simply a matter of life. foul.

The slightly taller pirates could only hit the waists of the knights on horseback when they jumped up.

Dill's strength can still fight with these knights alone, but this does not mean that the crew on his entire ship has his excellent fighting ability - so until now, he can only watch his own The front teeth of the subordinates were knocked away by the red cross shields with a white background, or their breastbones were crushed by the heavy horseshoes when they couldn't dodge. The screams continued, and the deck of the Mora fell into an unprecedented chaos. ——This group of poor pirates, who have not yet recovered from the exhaustion and joy of victory in the last battle, looked up and found that the scythe of death was already hanging high above their necks!

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

At this moment, the captain of the Mora, who was the first to realize what had happened, also had his eyes reddened. He leapt and slammed a Templar on the deck, saving a nearly The subordinate who was killed under the hoof of the horse, when the templar fell to the ground with armor on, he jumped up and rode on the waist of the knight without waiting for the opponent to get up, and threw his helmet off with a fist. Immediately afterwards, he grabbed his long sword backhand without hesitation, and thrust it into his throat—the blood splashed onto the handsome face of the young pirate captain at this time, and the blood-red liquid flowed down the golden face. His long hair dripped slowly, he pulled the long sword out of his neck, stood up, looked at the mess around him, and saw the scene of his people being killed by surprise, paused for a moment, and a few seconds later, he As if he suddenly understood something, he narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a surprised and furious expression, and roared in disbelief: "It's that bastard Raymond's idea again?!"

This, of course, was that "bastard" Raymond's idea again.

It was as if he could always predict what would happen next. Seeing that the Royal Harbor of Silton was about to be compromised, he didn't know where he was hiding at this time, and he didn't write to Queen Christine to ask for additional personnel at sea. Instead, this letter was sent to the Knights Templar—then, these invincible warriors on land rode their mounts to the sea, and killed Mo Pulling numbers, playing cards against common sense, and finally realized a complete counterattack!

Dill was going crazy.

His first name!

And what drove him the most crazy was that he couldn't even find anyone to vent his anger on at this time - because when he turned his head and wanted to find someone bad luck, he found that at this moment, someone on the Mora The only black-haired young man who could be related to Raymond looked ten thousand times more panicked than him!

Dill: "...Lando Barcelo!"

Vigorously smashing away a knight's attack, Dill rushed to the black-haired young man in a murderous spirit, kicked the wine barrel he had used as a cover in front of him, and grabbed him by the collar. Get up: "I'm the one who got tricked! Who are you going to show with such a broken face!"

"Didn't you see Pad appear?" The black-haired young man who was being swung by the pirate ship's hands continued to collapse, "He said, Raymond thinks you kidnapped me to provoke he!"

"I didn't kidnap you." Dill let go of Lando's collar with a disgusted expression on his face, "You came to my boat by yourself, and I just accepted it reluctantly."

"Look, I knew you would say this, and if that prudish person heard such an answer, he would understand that I was tired of being a merchant ship's master, and I got tired of being a second-year-old child and ran away from home to become a pirate looking for excitement. Lando held his facial muscles with both hands and pulled them down vigorously, "He will break my dog ​​leg first! Then kill me!"

"...Don't worry, he has no chance." Dill said calmly.

Lando: "Why?"

Dill: "Because before that, you will be hanged in front of the people of Sildon as a pirate."

Lando: "..."

Dill's words made Lando stunned. Before he could say "impossible", the next second, he suddenly felt a tall projection completely covering him from behind him. Lando turned his head stiffly with his hands and feet. As a result, a long furry face was pasted as soon as he turned his head. The next second, this long face snorted and sprayed saliva all over his face.

Looking up again, there was a pair of expressionless strange eyes looking down at him through the heavy helmet.

Lando: "………… Strong man, speak up if you have something to say."

As soon as Lando finished speaking, from the corner of his eye, he saw Dill, who was standing in front of him, was surrounded by three Templar knights, and he was pressed hard to the ground with his face on the ground—the captain of the Mora used his own After deeply kissing the deck of the Mora, he was tied up like rice dumplings by the mighty and majestic knights.

The picture is so beautiful that people dare not take a second look.

Lando: "..."

Lando looked up again at the knight standing in front of him, as well as the arrogant horse face with a pair of huge nostrils next to his face—the black-haired young man sprayed again on this arrogant horse When his face was full of spit, he raised his hand to wipe off the saliva on his face, and said with a blank expression: "I said that I am not a pirate, but the future successor of the famous Seaz, do you believe it?"

Knights Templar:"……"

Horse: "Bah."

Lando continued to say with a blank face: "Okay, it seems that I don't believe it."

While speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to raise his hands that were wiping his face above his head, bent his "noble" knees and squatted on the deck without hesitation, and said sincerely: "I declare to the great Lord and his knights that I Sincerely, Amen."

(84)

As it turns out, there's no use in sycophating God's old man.

About 5 minutes later, except for the step of kissing the deck of the Mora with his face, Lando, who was also tied up, was thrown by those mighty and majestic knights as if he was throwing some rags. Placed" next to Dill in the corner—his butt landed on the ground with a "boom", when the black-haired young man grinned and tried to rub his butt with his bound hands, he raised his head and realized that at this moment, Mo There are already many zongzi on the deck of the pull number.

Lando also caught a glimpse of his Xiaobai - I have to say, even if Xiaobai was squatting aside with his hands bound, his lazy appearance made him look the most handsome among the zongzi. Confident, as if his hands were bound by bows instead of sailor knots.

Lando put his feet together, hopped to his side like a rabbit, and bumped him lightly with his shoulder: "I thought you escaped."

Hearing his voice, Xiaobai turned his head slowly - he glanced at the black-haired young man with his blue pupils without haste, his face covered under the bandage was expressionless , just kissed her thin lips, and said lightly: "You are still here, where should I escape?"

Although it is inappropriate, but I have to say that Lando was moved by Xiaobai's unyielding spirit—the most wonderful thing is that the other party said it in such a natural and understatement tone—that makes people feel extremely moved It directly doubled by a hundred times!

His Xiaobai is just a fisherman, and he understands the simple truth that "one cannot break one's word". Why does Raymond claim to be a man of culture, with the disgusting title of "The Last Gentleman in Babylon Sea" on his head? Do not understand such a truth!Ran Duo was stunned and sad for a moment, looked at Xiaobai, and suddenly felt emotional that he couldn't let him be dragged down with him, so he, who was about to give up resistance, jumped up again, and tried his best to reach a person who was counting The number of captured pirates came to the Templars: "This big brother! This big brother! You listen to me! You listen to me!"

The knight stopped, and through the heavy helmet, he stared at the front with those gray pupils, jumping like a rabbit, and now his face was covered with sweat, his face was red and his black hair was fluttering. The young man——Although the other party looked like a little hooligan, but he was born with a harmless face, so even in front of the innocent Templars, he also got some opportunities to speak——

"I'm really not a pirate. I'm Lando Barcelolo, the son of the old Captain Barcelolo, the future successor of the Seaz, you know the Seaze?... It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's Raymond The fleet that the chief mate is working for, yes, yes, that fleet, I am the heir, the legal heir, I am really not a pirate."

The knight took off his helmet, and behind the helmet was a bland face—strangely, after taking off the helmet, the feeling of "no entry to strangers" brought by the knight disappeared immediately, Lan Listening to him speaking in Hilton with a country accent, he asked: "I heard that Raymond is looking for a man named Lando Barcelo. What proof do you have to prove that you are him?"

Lando: "..."

Too bad he doesn't have the hobby of getting his name tattooed on his ass.

Lando thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a key person: "That, do you still remember the grasshopper-like stormtrooper who came with you on the boat earlier? The one with the big knife! He can prove that He can prove it! Call him quickly—"

"He was injured, and both the first mate of the Mora were injured. The first mate of the Mora has disappeared, and he has been sent back to the Royal Medical Station." The knight frowned slightly, "When leaving, He didn't mention the fact that the man their first officer was looking for was on board the Mora."

Lando: "..."

Old Pad the bastard.

The next second, the black-haired young man seemed to have guessed something, turned his head, and met the eyes of the fat hamster mung bean squatting on the brim of Dill's hat.

Lando: "..."

Correction, everyone named "Pad" in the world is a bastard.

To be honest, like the one who insisted on calling himself "Old Pad" at a young age to take advantage of others' seniority verbally, he can only be the captain of the charge who cheated the rookie's money by fighting landlords for the rest of his life. In the name of his father, Captain Barcelo, he swears that such an unreliable charge captain will never be able to get promoted even more!

Under the pitiful gaze of the black-haired young man, the knight held the helmet in his hand slightly, turned his head, and came to Dill—bent down slightly, with a proud and unhappy face full of words " The pirate captain who refused to cooperate" raised a question in a calm voice: "Tell me, who is he?"

Dill, who was being questioned, turned his head lazily, first looked up and down at the knight standing in front of him, then passed him, and looked at Lando from head to tail with anxious eyes, and after a while, he Then he sneered and asked unhurriedly: "On the pirate ship, except for the captain's pet, the rest are pirates. Who do you think he is?"

Lando gasped, almost annoyed CRY: "I'm sorry, it's Raymond and not me!!!!"

Dill: "Don't say that, make it seem like you really know the elegant, charming and righteous First Mate Raymond, little boy."

Lando: "..."

……

The result of pulling each other's legs back was that everyone was thrown into Silton Royal Prison together.

He lowered his head to the bracelets and anklets on his feet, and watched the heavy iron railing gate shut in front of him with a bang. After hanging a large lock engraved with the Royal Shildon emblem on the railing, ruthlessly pocketing the key and leaving without looking back, Lando finally came to his senses, he had been on a pirate ship, he had been a pirate, After being in prison, his life is probably only one step away from "being hanged as a pirate", which is perfect enough.

He was so perfect that his father knew under the nine springs that he might be so angry that he would dig up his own grave and crawl out to strangle his stupid son to death before lying back silently.

"It's over, it's over, I won't dare to say that I'm the heir to the Barcelo family when I go out in the future..." Lando lowered his head, "As a person who has been in the Silton Royal Prison and will be hanged tomorrow."

"You care about your family's reputation?" Sitting next to Lando, Xiao Bai, who was lucky enough to be crammed into the same cell as him, bent over slightly, his voice was still hoarse, but he sounded slightly surprised.

"After all, he is a celebrity, not just a passer-by. My dad was born tall and died great—he will be infamous for a long time when he comes to me," Lando sighed, "and Raymond, he might stand on my side. mocked me viciously in front of his dead body."

Xiao Bai moved, sat up straight, and said seriously, "He won't."

Lando: "How do you know he won't? After all, it's Raymond, what can't he do? Tell him, will Old Pad tell him I'm here? If he knows I'm here, he won't." He will come to rescue me—although I’ve been on Dill’s boat for so long and he hasn’t come to look for me, but now that I’m under his nose, he won’t be able to justify not coming to me, right?”

Amidst the black-haired young man's broken thoughts, the man who was sitting side by side with him moved his body slightly. He leaned lazily against the mottled wall of the prison, patiently listening to the broken words of the people around him, and then , Said in the voice he was used to: "He will not come to rescue you."

Lando: "..."

As if sensing the sudden silence of the people around him, Xiaobai paused for a moment, then changed into a teasing tone and said slowly: "He will only rush over to go to jail with you."

Lando hadn't had time to react after hearing Xiaobai's words. Instead, Dill, who was in the cell next to them, laughed first. There was an undisguised sarcasm in the laughter. It’s just a matter of taking pleasure in others’ misfortunes.” He turned his head to Xiaobai and sighed, “But I have to say, I didn’t expect that even you are a fan of Raymond, and I completely believe that he is as benevolent and righteous as people say. -"

Xiaobai stopped talking, and the prison fell into silence. Lando felt that he had said something wrong, scratched his face in embarrassment, and said, "I want to say sorry if I destroy the image of Raymond in your heart." ..."

noob:"……"

Lando: "But he is that kind of person."

noob:"…………"

Dill: "Hahahahahaha!"

Lando: "What a joke! He is the one who will be hanged tomorrow!"

Lando turned around angrily, but unexpectedly saw Dill lying on the side of the cell with his ass pouted, concentrating on a certain corner outside the cell—there seemed to be an underground pipeline leading to nowhere, and The annoying hamster was sliding down the brim of the blond pirate captain's hat, and landed firmly in the palm of the latter's palm like a hairy ball, got up, shook his head and shook Buttocks, and then easily climbed out from between the bars of the cell, and the trembling, hairy buttocks disappeared in the shadow of the ventilation duct.

The scene where Lando expected to see the hamster stuck in the ventilation duct didn't happen.

After watching the hamster leave, Dill heaved a sigh of relief, hummed a song and leaned against the railing, closing his eyes to rest his mind—that calm and composed appearance did not look like a prisoner caught in a cell, but looked like He, Uncle Dill, voluntarily entered the cell... Thinking of this, as if he suddenly thought of something, Lando's eyes widened slightly: "What did you tell that mouse to do?"

Dill stopped humming, turned his head and glanced lazily at Lando, but the amount of information in this glance made the black-haired young man gasp: "You won't be—"

"About a month ago, I was still hesitating about how to find the entrance to the underground treasure house. Later, I accidentally heard that the underground treasure house is not far from the Royal Underground Prison in Silton—oh, the guy who told me this information is also a pirate. At that time, his original words were, "Before you die, you can shut up with so many first-class rare treasures in the world for a night, and you can't live in love." Dill said here, tilting his head. At the corner of his lips, he stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips, "Since then, I have been thinking about getting myself into Silton Prison—"

Xiaobai opened his eyes and glanced at Dill calmly.

Lando, who was sitting next to him in a state of shock at the moment, didn't notice this detail, he just stared at Dill, "Nonsense, you obviously wanted to escape just now—"

The smile on the corner of Dill's lips widened, and Lando finally couldn't continue, because he suddenly thought that in fact, when the Mora seemed to be completely victorious, Dill procrastinated and didn't rush to leave, it seemed that He was indeed hesitating whether to leave... Or, from the very beginning, he might have come to Silton with the mentality of "it doesn't matter if he gets caught".

"Of course you can run, but it doesn't matter if you can't," Dill shrugged. "That's probably it."

"Even if you are hanged tomorrow?" Xiao Bai, who had been silent all this time, asked abruptly.

Dill turned his head, took a serious look at Xiaobai, and replied, "As long as Captain Dill doesn't want to die, no one can touch even a single hair of Captain Dill."

……

Facts have proved that in the drama, one party grabs the other party's handle, and before killing his enemy, he talks a lot of nonsense, so that his enemy has a chance to come back from the Jedi. This kind of thing is true in real life. It doesn't exist—it should have appeared in the imagination, and Queen Christine Fei, who witnessed and ridiculed the famous pirate in person, did not appear. She just sent her entourage to announce the death penalty of all the pirates, and the execution The time is dawn tomorrow morning.

It is also very impatient.

And one night is enough for the neighbors to tell each other, and by the way, gather together necessary items such as rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

The pirates didn't react much when they heard the sentence. They seemed to have expected that their life would end in this way—for example, when the attendant announced their death sentence with his head held high, he turned around and twisted his buttocks. When he left without looking back, Lando was busy trembling with fear for every word he said, but Pirate A, who was in the same cell as him, said calmly: "Otherwise? Either he died in the burning, killing and looting of passers-by, or he was killed by Hanging in some country's Port Royal as a trophy, whatever it is, is immortal to the pirates."

Still immortal... The black-haired young man's lips twitched. This is not a pirate, it's a cult.

Anyone who has had a similar experience should understand this feeling and know how difficult it is the night before he is about to die.

This night, amidst the chatter of the pirates one after another, Lando couldn't even close his eyes - every second of time seemed like a century, and the black-haired young man huddled in the corner was filled with mixed feelings : For a while, the shot hurts me so beautifully and loudly, and for a while, I feel depressed that that bastard Raymond is not a human being, but he really doesn't care about me. This incident here tells Raymond that his rescue was delayed...

When it was almost dawn, through the wall of the prison cell, he heard the sound of the royal cleaning palace cleaning the corridors of the palace from the ground. In that sound, he suddenly heard his dead father.

and father's will.

His father told him to hold Raymond's thigh tightly and not let go, and Barcelóro's century-old foundation should not fall down.

His father told him that Barcelo owed his life to everyone on the island named Babrus, and they should find the Leviathan, or find the descendants on that island, and make a solemn apology to them.

Lando has not fulfilled any of his father's last wishes—to be precise, he should have completed half of them. He did meet the descendant on Babrus Island, but that person is no less a bastard than Raymond De and Lando have no urge to apologize to him at all. The worst thing is, this guy seems to be the main culprit that caused his father to fail to fulfill a series of demanding last wishes... If it wasn't for Di Er, he will not face the fate of being hanged.

Raymond was right, he, Lando Barcelo, really had no eyes and was careless in making friends.

Thinking of this, the black-haired young man huddled in the corner of the cell sniffed, and suddenly had a strong urge to cry—for his untimely death or something...

But at this moment, probably because his sniffing was too noisy, he heard the rustling sound of the straw in the cell, and a moment later, a tall figure sat next to him, leaning against the wall...Xiao Bai slapped his butt Sitting next to Lando, he didn't speak. Lando sniffed his nose as if he smelled a reassuringly familiar scent from him. During these ups and downs, Lando just said in an extremely tired voice: "Xiaobai, have you ever resented me? If I hadn't insisted on keeping you on the Mora, maybe you have happily left Mo La now." The pull number went back to the shore, and continued to be an ordinary fisherman, without waiting for the death penalty, and only worried about the weather at sea tomorrow..."

"I want to stay here myself." Xiao Bai interrupted Lando lightly, "Don't think about it, now, sleep."

"I can't sleep." Lando said, "I miss my dad."

"..."

"...you didn't hear anything."

"Already heard."

Amid Xiaobai's ruthless and calm reply, Lando curled his lips, somewhat thanking Xiaobai for not making a sound to laugh at him for being such a grown man, and still acting like a childish ghost, a cool breeze blew in from the cell window— ——It was almost October in the Sea of ​​Babylon, and the night wind was still a bit cool. He subconsciously rubbed against Xiaobai. I talked a lot, talking about my childhood, talking about the bedtime stories I heard, saying that Raymond is so stinky and tall, in fact, not many people know that he is younger than me, and how his father is eccentric, saying Babrus Island, talking about the Seaz and the Leviathan, talking about my regret, that I didn't get to see the Leviathan in this life and died so young...

Lando talked a lot, and at the end he was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting crazily, and his consciousness was gradually withdrawn. In a daze, he seemed to hear someone asking him in his ear, "Do you know what's wrong?" He nodded and shook his head indiscriminately, only to feel his forehead being flicked lightly, and after that, the surrounding fell into silence...

Across a wall, beyond the prison cell, seabirds sang and flew over the Royal Port of Silton.

It was almost dawn.
