I'm a trainee crew on a pirate ship [West Fantasy]

The daylight is gone, and the woods have become dark.

In the dark woods, the vision is blurred, but inanimate things lying on the grass can be vaguely seen. There is one lying a few meters or more than ten meters apart. It is a corpse.

They have the shape of animals with tail bones and short limbs, and the shape of humans with slender limbs. Where these corpses are scattered in disorder, the air is filled with cold gray mist, making the forest more hazy and cold, and the trees and flowers are also covered with a layer. The color of dark decay.

A black shadow walked in the gloomy and cold woods, stepping over flowers and plants, bypassing corpses and trees, with light footsteps, shuttled through the woods with ease, as if he had walked countless times, perfectly avoided the point where he could not stay, and was completely unaffected. environmental impact.

All the way through the fog smoothly, he reached his destination.

A two-story house with a sloping roof stands quietly in the dark forest filled with black mist and scattered corpses.

The city of Seglinde in the dark night is still lively, full of people.

Rows upon rows of houses with local characteristics, towering forests, all kinds of carriages and people in various costumes come and go on the streets, full of a stable life atmosphere.

There are lights on in front of the shops on the side of the street, and there are stalls spread randomly on the side of the road, or hanging oil lamps, or lighting candles, and the light gathers and becomes bright, bringing light and warmth to guests from afar.

Luo Zhi turned his head and looked around, dazzled and full of interest. Nas was chattering beside him. Although this was only a fringe market near the city gate, it still made people who came here for the first time feel novel.

The Crown Pirates walked through the streets in a mighty manner, which inevitably attracted people's attention, but the locals had already seen it.

Everyone followed the captain. After a while, they left the dock and came to Honggu Street near the city center, in front of a hotel called "Red Feather Windmill". There was a door number, No. 69, in front of the door.

The Crown Pirates had a lot of people, and this hotel didn't have enough vacancies. Some people went around to find hotels. It didn't take much time. There were many hotels nearby.

Rem and Quincy take some of them to a nearby hotel.

In order to protect the captain who lost his strength, Luo Zhi followed the captain into the Red Feather Windmill Hotel, Nas followed Luo Zhi, and Len followed the captain.

The "Red Feather Windmill" hotel has three floors, divided into upper, middle and lower rooms, and each class corresponds to each floor.

During this trip, everyone in the Crown Pirates had money. Luo Zhi followed the captain and opened a first-class room, as did Lun and Nas. The room was on the third floor, 5 silver coins a night, which was quite expensive.

After entering the room, the first thing Luo Zhi did was to take a shower. After leaving the bathroom, he had to pull the rope to call room service and ask someone to take away the changed clothes.

He saw several ropes.

There are various services here, and different jobs are handled by different servants. Luo Zhi saw that there were laundry, meal delivery, cleaning, and housekeeping.

"Housekeeping is running errands, isn't there any special service? Hehe..." Luo Zhi entertained himself and pulled the laundry rope.

A young girl came, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked pretty.

Facing the tenant who was wearing a long robe and a hood that could not see his face clearly, the girl didn't dare to look straight in the face, and kept her head half down to do her work.

She quickly put the clothes in the box, hugged the clothes box, raised her head slightly, and said to the guest with a timid voice: "Sir, are you going to wash and dry tonight, or can you wait until tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, no rush." ​​Luo Zhi replied calmly.

"Okay." She walked away quickly.

There is a dedicated servant in the upper-class rooms, and there is no need to pay additional service fees. The rope-calling service in the middle-class and lower-class rooms needs to be paid, but the fee for the middle-class tenants is slightly lower than that of the lower-class tenants.

Luo Zhi sighed silently, and pulled up his hood. It seems that people know that he is a pirate, and he is so secretive, obviously repelling people thousands of miles away, people are afraid.

"I'm scared too, what if you pretend to be a waiter and approach my witch?" Luo Zhi rubbed his ears, he had suffered from young girls.

After cleaning himself up, Luo Zhi felt hungry, he didn't intend to eat in the room, so he opened the door and went out.

Looking at the bright corridor, Luo Zhi glanced at the doors of several rooms, which were the rooms of the captain, Lun, and Nass, and Luo Zhi knocked on the captain's door first.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and a handsome man with red hair and slightly curled wet hair appeared in a bathrobe. Sig Capet had just showered and hadn't changed his clothes yet.

The whole body was baptized with warm water, which washed away a lot of the cold and hard breath on his body, making his expression look very soft, and his green eyes were radiant, inviting people to get close.

Luo Zhi took a quick look at the captain's body, and then smiled: "Good evening, captain."

"Good evening, Luo Zhi." Seeger said in a gentle voice, took a step back and turned inside without closing the door.

Luo Zhi blinked. He didn't intend to go in. He just wanted to ask the captain if he wanted to have dinner and the activities after the meal. He would follow the captain for a while, and then consider whether to go to business tonight depending on the situation.

Seeing the captain's welcoming gesture and opening the door, he subconsciously walked in and closed the door.

"Crack." As the door closed, Luo Zhi suddenly felt nervous for no reason.

Glancing at the room with the same layout as his own, Luo Zhi didn't sit down, walked to the window and looked at the street outside, lifted his hood, and asked casually: "Captain, are you going downstairs for dinner? After dinner What are you going to do? I plan to find a place tonight..."

He was going to find the secret place to contact the members of the "Sea Guard Knights", so he had to send a message to inform them before meeting.

Seeger nodded to Luo Zhi: "We'll stay for half a month, and we can get familiar with the city tonight."

After all, Sig entered the bedroom.

The superior room has a separate bedroom, a small living room, a washroom, a walk-in bathroom, and a small balcony, which is quite nice.

A few minutes later, Sig came out wearing a long dress similar to a wizard's robe, which is common here.

Sig Capet didn't wear a hat, and his uncombed wet hair showed a messy beauty. He straightened his hood and hung it behind his back and said, "Go to dinner first, and then go to the casino."

Hearing the captain say that going to the casino is as common as eating, Luo Zhi subconsciously complained about the profound concept in his bones: "Gambling prodigal..."

Pornography, gambling and drugs are prohibited by every law-abiding and good citizen. Before the captain was unwell and stayed on the ship, he didn’t go to the island, enter the city, or go to the entertainment venue. The small game of cards on the ship was nothing. At this moment, Hearing that the captain said he was going to the casino, Luo Zhi reflexively felt repulsive.

As soon as the words came out, Luo Zhi was stunned and embarrassed, and then he remembered that casinos, brothels, and bars are places where pirates routinely carry out activities. It is really hypocritical to say this in his current capacity.

Sig's fingers holding onto the hair froze, and he froze for a moment. He turned his clear green eyes to focus on Luo Zhi, revealing a hint of surprise.

Then, he chuckled.

The captain's smile made Luo Zhi's face burn, making him even more embarrassed.

Only then did he recall that casinos, brothels, and bars were the three major intelligence bases, and the captain's main purpose of going to the casinos was to gather information, and he must have seemed very self-righteous in the eyes of others when he preached to the pirate leader.

Luo Zhi wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, explaining that he didn't mean to preach, he laughed without thinking too much: "Haha, I know the captain is here to inquire about information, in fact, I am also very interested in casinos, very interested I have long wanted to see and see, really..."

What he said couldn't be more true. Who hasn't watched "God of Gamblers", and who doesn't think Hua Zi is handsome?

"I'm a pirate, why are you pretentious? I want to go to places that pirates often go to, this man!" Luo Zhi continued while thinking: "I've been to bars, I haven't been to casinos, and brothels... "

Nonsence!What did he say?

"...No, whore...this...forget it..." Luo Zhi was stunned, then waved his hands and shook his head, looking embarrassed.

No business no harm, he's a good boy.

Sig Capet quietly looked at Luo Zhi's embarrassed look, and a few seconds later, he stroked his hair and smiled lazily: "Oh, I did go to the casino to inquire about local news, and of course I also went to gamble. The stronger the sense of anticipation while waiting for the result, the more exciting the moment when winning or losing is settled. I like this feeling very much, and I like gambling. I think this is a very interesting game. It has nothing to do with making money, it is purely for finding Fun, well, there are a lot of people who think and feel that way."

After a pause, he straightened his collar and said again: "Of course, gambling is indeed prodigal, and people who become poor because of gambling, and then go to sea to become pirates and want to get rich by robbing, there are many, many people, but in the end, as pirates, they earn money." The money is still lost in the casino."

Looped.

Luo Zhi pursed his lips and looked at the captain's silence, not knowing what to say.

Sig put his hands in his outer pockets, looked at Luo Zhi: "You don't have to go where you don't want to go, you don't have to force me, just follow me all the time, as long as Lun follows me, as I said, you can be free after entering the city." Activities, just come back before sailing..."

"Your freedom."

Luo Zhi stared blankly at the captain, recalling what the captain said in his mind, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Don't force yourself to agree with me, just follow me..." Why did the captain's words sound so harsh to him?

When did he reluctantly go along with him?

He followed him all the time, not because he was afraid that he would be attacked, as if he was being his follower to curry favor with him.

Unhappy Luo Zhi subconsciously glared at the pirate leader, put on a hood to cover his head: "I see, I'm leaving first."

After that, he turned around and left, opened the door and went out.

When he came to the door, Luo Zhi saw Lun En.

"Luo Zhi, Captain, do you want to eat?" Lun greeted him with a cheerful voice, a refreshing body, a good mood, and a soft face.

Behind Luo Zhi, Sig also came out.

Luo Zhi's face was hidden under the hood, and he simply replied: "No, you go on your own."

Luo Zhi walked past Lun as he spoke, his quick tone revealing his emotions.

Lun turned his head to look at Luo Zhi's back, then looked at Sig, a little dazed: "Has something unpleasant happened to him?"

I forgot to be polite, Luo Zhi is very polite on weekdays.

Looking at the back of Luo Zhi walking away quickly, Sig's green eyes also showed a trace of doubt, and said honestly: "I don't know, he just said to have dinner together..."

He felt that Luo Zhi was dissatisfied with him just now, but he didn't know why the other party was dissatisfied, and he was still wondering if it was his own illusion.

Seeing the captain's really ignorant expression, Lun asked curiously, "What did you just say?"

This is not something that needs to be concealed. Seeger simply said: "He doesn't like casinos and doesn't want to go to brothels. I told him to move freely."

Lun asked again: "What about you?"

"I'll wait for the casino." Seeger replied as he walked towards the stairs.

Looking at the succinct and concise captain, Lun was quite distressed. He couldn't analyze any problems with such a message: "Well...you talk about everything you said."

Sig turned to look at Len in surprise: "You think I made him unhappy?"

Seeger thought he was decent and polite, and he had done nothing wrong. In order to prove his innocence, he unreservedly told Lun about the discussion he had with Luo Zhi just now.

Lun couldn't help laughing, and patted Sig on the shoulder: "When Luo Zhi comes back, remember to apologize to him."

In the dark and cold forest, there is a two-story house standing quietly.

On the second floor, there is a faint shadow reflected on the semicircular window, which looks very strange in this dead and cold dark forest.

In a small room on the second floor, a light panel is installed on the four walls, and a candle the size of a thumb is lit on it. If you look closely, you can see symbols drawn on the candle.

Four candles are enough to illuminate the room, but the light is not so bright, slightly dim.

A low round table is placed in the middle of the room, and three candles are lit on it. The positions are in the upper, middle, and lower lines. The upper candle has a spell symbol drawn on it.

There is a pure white crystal ball next to the upper candle, a palm-sized puppet and a small light blue glass bottle stand next to the middle candle.

The puppets are very rough, and have no features other than a human figure.

"Huh~" There was a cold wind howling in the room, and the platinum flame of the candle only swayed slightly in the cold wind, but it was still shining brightly.

Youdao, wearing a dark blue and almost black classical wizard robe, knelt in front of the round table. He straightened up, bowed respectfully to the candle, and then recited the mantra:

"Great Priest of Life, you are the master of life, you are the eternal element, you are the giver of spirit and body..."

With the sound of chanting, the symbol on the upper candle pointing to the "priest of life" glowed with light. Green infestation.

Seeing this, the face of the kneeling man remained unchanged, and his voice became more pious:

"I am your loyal believer and your humble servant. I pray to you, pray for your protection, and pray for you to help me complete the ceremony..."

"Pfft", the flame of the candle in front of him also jumped up, and the color of the flame remained unchanged.

After getting a response, he immediately recited the incantation of the essence of magic, picked up the blue glass bottle, removed the cork, and pointed the mouth of the bottle at the puppet next to the candle in the middle.

With the bottom of the bottle facing up, a drop of bright red blood dripped from the smooth blue mouth and hit the puppet. Immediately, the puppet glowed with black light and shook violently.

He put down the bottle, grabbed the puppet with both hands and held it in front of his chest, as if he was holding a treasure, he kept casting spells, and trembling himself...

"Huh~" The wind in the room kept whistling, the breath was cold and biting, and the flames flickered violently, but they still didn't go out.

The figure kneeling in front of the table stopped trembling. He raised his head and saw an illusory figure in front of him. He stared at this figure with indifferent eyes. He stretched out the puppet in his hand, and the light on the puppet became more intense, illusory. The figure was attracted and flew towards the puppet uncontrollably.

This illusory spirit body waved its limbs and struggled with all its strength, but he still inevitably touched the puppet glowing with black light, was absorbed into it, and was imprisoned in it.

The puppet trembled in the hands of the man in the dark blue wizard robe, and finally calmed down. He raised his head and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an excited and weird smile.

There are many forms of praying to the gods, and the requests are also varied. The responses of the gods also depend on the object and the request. Not every prayer is at the cost of life.

If the target is a church insider who is a god, the probability of getting a response is higher, and non-church people will see whether they are their own believers, pious or not.

Secondly, consider whether to respond according to the content of the request.

Of course, the operation of praying for resurrection must pay the price of life.

The man in the blue robe obviously believed in the "Priest of Life" devoutly. His request was not that difficult, and he just relied on the blessing of the "Priest of Life" without paying the price of his life.

The man touched the puppet in his hand, and silently recited a few spells, his head gradually drooped, silently, as if he had fallen asleep, and his body was still kneeling.
