Although pirates in the Western Sea are famous in the New World, fortunately most pirates only rob cash and valuable goods and usually do not kill indiscriminately.
For smuggling ships like the Feiyu, they usually only release a sum of cash before releasing them. After all, smuggling ships are the biggest source of income for pirates. Most pirates usually don’t want to go too far, lest they force smuggling ships on this route to go far away.
Stay away.
At this time, a sailor knocked on the door and entered the room, informing them that the pirate ship was slowly catching up with the Flying Fish, and asked them to prepare at least 5 silver francs in cash, saying that this was the protection fee paid to the pirates. If they were reluctant to pay, then the pirates would
How to deal with those misers is beyond the Feiyu's control.
Steven let go of his perception again, and he could hear many conversations on the deck and upper cabin.
After listening carefully, he told Kate the information he collected. Most of the cargo carried on the Flying Fish smuggling ship was spices and cannabis. The captain who had given the order on the deck had just vetoed the idea of abandoning part of the cargo to increase the amount of money.
Speed proposal.
As time passed, the pirate ship that was catching up was slowly approaching.
The captain seemed to see the flag of the pirate ship clearly through the telescope, and the conversation with the first mate revealed that the ship was the Twin Fin Shark, which is one of the more famous pirate ships in the Western Sea. The good news is that they are one of the most famous pirate ships in the world.
A toll without burning or killing marauding pirates.
The captain then ordered to slow down and wait for the pirate ship to approach. Doing so would also increase the pirates' favor and reduce the amount of tolls accordingly.
After a while, the pirate ship was already parallel to the side of the Flying Fish. The ship was larger than the Flying Fish. There was a red-bottomed flag hanging on the top of the ship's main mast, with an embroidery of a pair of birds leaping out of the sea.
Fin shark.
Its side is also higher than that of the Flying Fish. There are a row of windows on the side, and the black gun ports are exposed under the upturned window panels, facing the Flying Fish.
At this time, the Flying Fish had lowered most of its sails and was slowly sailing on the sea. The Double Fin Shark pirate ship slowly approached. A dozen hooks connected to the zip lines were thrown over and hung on the side of the Flying Fish, followed by several rows of rope ladders.
Connected two sailing ships.
Dozens of pirates carrying knives and guns climbed onto the deck of the Flying Fish from the rope ladder. They surrounded the sailors and captain's mate on the ship. A black-haired pirate leader pointed a flintlock pistol at the captain and asked:
"Are there any passengers on the boat? Ask them to come out."
The captain nodded and said: "There are a dozen passengers in the lower cabin. Go and ask them to come up." After he finished speaking, he motioned to a sailor. The sailor then led a few pirates down to the cabin, and the group of pirates divided again.
More than a dozen people went into the cabin and started searching everywhere.
More than a dozen passengers who boarded the ship later followed the sailors and several pirates to the deck. The pirates then separated and surrounded everyone, with several pirates pointing several spears at the crowd.
The black-haired pirate leader holding a pistol pulled out a machete from his waist with his left hand and said to the crowd: "Mr. Captain, we have inspected the cargo you are loading, so please bring out the silver man. Everything is in accordance with the rules."
Come on."
The captain of the Flying Fish took out a leather bag and handed it to the pirate. He tied the bag and handed it to a pirate next to him. The pirate opened the bag and began to count the silver coins.
The black-haired pirate turned to the dozen passengers standing on the other side and said: "Take out all your wallets and valuables! You should be lucky to have met us. If you are unfortunate enough to meet Bluebeard's group of robbers,
You have been sold to a small island and become slaves!"
A dozen passengers began to cautiously take out the cash in their wallets. A few pirates walked over and roughly grabbed the wallets, then opened the wallets and counted the cash inside. Finally, they collected all the wallets and wallets and handed them to the man.
Black haired pirate.
The black-haired leader took all the money bags in his hand and looked through them. Then he took out two wallets and asked, "Whose are these two wallets?"
The pirate who collected the money bag pointed at Steven and Kate, and the black hair said: "Search them! See what else is hidden."
Steven looked at Kate, who shook her head slightly, so the two of them stood still while the two pirates came up and groped around them.
Later, a pirate handed the leather bag found from Steven to the black hair. He opened the leather bag and took out the scroll and the map inside. He looked at the map, and the partial simple map
The map doesn't have a lot of information. If you don't know that it is a map in a dark rainforest, no one can tell where the picture on it is.
The black-haired man opened the scroll again and looked at it. In his experience, it was just a painting. He rolled up the scroll, looked at Steven and said, "You don't look like a businessman. Why are you carrying such a painting?"
Painting? But anyway, it’s mine now, maybe this painting will be worth some silver!”
Steven looked into his eyes and shook his head and said: "It's worthless, it's just a family souvenir. It's of no use if you take it, and it might even bring bad consequences."
The black-haired pirate shook his head and said: "Okay! You can go back to the cabin now, it's getting late! We are also going back to the ship, and your luck will depend on the Holy Lord." After he said that, he waved his hand.
He held the scimitar in his hand and motioned to the pirates nearby to escort the passengers into the cabin.
At this time, Steven looked at Kate again, but Kate did not give any signal, so the two followed the other passengers back to the cabin.
After returning to the cabin, Kate closed the door and turned to the Derry couple who came in and said, "Mr. Derry, can I ask you a favor?"
After he finished speaking, he continued: "We are leaving this ship. Please store the backpacks and belongings we left under the bed at the post office in Cania Port after we arrive at the shore. This is the storage fee."
As he spoke, he took out some cash from the sheath of the fixed knife and handed it to Delhi, and then said: "Keep the extra money for yourself. After we arrive at the port of Cania, we will go to the port post office to pick up the backpack and other things."
Mr. Derry asked in surprise: "You are leaving the ship? What does this mean? Oh, you can rest assured about the backpack and the things under the bed! I will deposit them at the Cania Port Post Office as you requested, but how do you leave?
This ship? This is on the sea?!"
Steven said to Derry from the side: "Thank you! Mr. Derry! Please rest assured, we will definitely arrive at Cania Port!"
The two of them quickly put their straight swords back on their backs, took out their daggers and inserted them into the scabbards of their leggings. Then they softly bid farewell to the Delhi couple again, opened the door and walked out with the couple looking surprised and puzzled.
