How come after not seeing each other for a few days, he suddenly transformed into a waiter in a secret underground tavern in London?
Although the Charlie in front of him had been beaten with bruises and swollen face for some reason, and his old wretched face had long since disappeared, the tone and tone of his voice clearly belonged to that Charlie, without a doubt.
Yi Lin reacted quickly, poked Ruth lightly and winked.
Ruth understood instantly.
Yi Rin is not wearing the "skeleton gentleman" look at this moment.
A few seconds later.
Ruth lowered her voice and asked: "Charlie? You survived too?"
suddenly.
Poor Charlie's eyes widened, and the purple eye sockets blocked his vision. For a moment, he did not recognize the familiar first mate in front of him.
But when Ruth spoke, Charlie quickly came back to his senses and was shocked: "Lu, First Officer Louis? Woohoo, humble Charlie finally sees you again——"
Charlie burst into tears, screamed, and rushed towards Ruth.
The corners of Ruth's eyes twitched slightly. She would definitely not let a dirty pirate jump on her, so she kicked Charlie out without saying a word.
Although Ruth's combat power is not high on the panel, she is still an order of magnitude higher than Charlie on the "floor".
So this kick directly kicked Charlie several meters away, without any ambiguity.
boom!
The sound of Charlie being kicked was not small, and the entire tavern was quiet for a moment. The drunken pirates turned around and looked at Charlie, who was lying on the ground with the tables and chairs knocked upside down, and paused for a moment.
Oh, it turns out the waiter was beaten.
That's okay.
The cheerful atmosphere in the tavern paused for a moment, and then continued to get high again. The connection was smooth and there was no violation at all.
five minutes later.
Poor Charlie rubbed his underdeveloped chest muscles and came to Yilin and Ruth again with two glasses of rum with a resentful look on his face.
When no one was paying attention, Charlie simply sat down in this corner and told Mate Louis his sad story full of blood and tears to Mate Louis, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, it actually only happened a few days ago when the Queen was destroyed in the hurricane, so it wasn't that long ago.
That storm completely destroyed the Queen.
But after Yilin and Calypso reached a consensus and signed a contract, the storm stopped, and some of the pirates who were thrown into the air were lucky enough to survive.
Some people carried the wreckage of the Queen, while others carried empty rum barrels across the ocean.
Fortunately, Charlie was washed ashore by the current.
On the shore, Charlie was lucky enough to meet up with Sachs and others, and they traveled all the way to London.
Just yesterday, Charlie and several sailors from the original Queen found the "Gilded Quagmire" pub and temporarily worked here to seek a livelihood.
This... is really a bit of a coincidence.
Yi Lin vaguely remembered that Charlie's luck value was quite high. Could it be this reason that allowed Charlie with unsightly attributes to survive?
"What's wrong with your face?"
Yi Lin asked with a smile.
"Huh? Dear Mate Louis, is this...?"
Charlie spoke passionately about his history of blood and tears, but Yi Lin remained silent. It was only then that Charlie remembered to ask who this person beside Ruth was.
Why does the voice sound familiar?
A question quietly popped up in Charlie's mind.
Ruth's face was expressionless and serious: "If you don't want to die, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. What's wrong with your face?"
Charlie looked down.
Under the table, Mate Louis' leg was directly resting on another person's leg, which was very strange.
He suddenly remembered his experience on the ship and suddenly realized what he had experienced.
No wonder first mate Louis and the great skeleton gentleman captain always live alone in the same room. No wonder the captain and first mate have such a close relationship. That’s it, that’s it, that’s it!
The witty Charlie has already seen through everything!
It turns out that this handsome man is actually the new boyfriend of First Officer Louis!
After thinking through this level, Charlie shuddered subconsciously, nodded quickly and bowed: "Yes, yes, yes, don't ask, Charlie doesn't ask, Charlie understands, Charlie understands."
Yi Lin: "?"
Ruth: "?"
At this time, Charlie hesitated and then told the origin of this face.
In fact, the reason is nothing special.
Charlie thought he had stayed on the ship of the Skeleton Gentleman. He was very awesome and penniless, but he also longed for rum, so he gathered Xiao Sa and others to have a drink at the Gilded Rose.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to rob the rum, a group of tall muscular men rushed out from the backstage and knocked Charlie and others to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
I don’t know if it was to scare the monkeys, but a certain crew member who had also stayed on the Queen was brutally beaten to death and nailed to the wall, becoming a beautiful specimen on the wall of the "Gilded Quagmire".
Very scary.
Charlie and Sachs were so frightened that they stayed here to work. After all, they could take care of the food and survive.
Ruth showed a real expression: "Where are the others?"
Charlie was unhappy: "I'm washing dishes in the background."
Yi Lin probably understood.
He didn't expect Charlie to survive that storm.
Should it be said that it is Calypso's only kindness?
Could it be that it’s for your own sake?
Because of the loss of the Queen, the two columns of ship and crew on Yilin's captain's panel have been locked and cannot be opened.
Without a boat, you are not a qualified captain, and some functions are limited.
As for the crew?
Yi Lin is not worried.
Six-legged sailors are hard to find, but aren’t there five-legged pirate crews all over the streets?
However, it can be seen from Charlie's experience that the owner of this underground tavern should not be simple.
Otherwise, even the crew members of the "Skeleton Gentleman" would be killed directly without giving any face.
Yi Lin was also a little more curious about the origin of this tavern.
But now is not the time to get to the bottom of things.
Yi Lin took a sip of rum, and a burning sensation rushed from her throat directly to her stomach.
"Charlie, who among the people in this pub do you think is the most informed?"
Charlie rubbed his bruised face and said with a smile: "Every pirate is very well-informed, as long as you have..."
As he spoke, Charlie rubbed his index finger and thumb slightly, making a gesture that everyone understood.
"oh--"
Yi Lin let out a long sigh.
Ruth: “…”
There was silence for a few seconds.
Yi Lin was actually using her senses to observe everyone in the tavern.
After a while, Yi Lin pointed to a corner in the distance: "Do you know that guy?"
Charlie and Ruth simultaneously followed Yi Lin's hand and pointed towards it.
I saw that in the corner next to the entrance, the lights were even dimmer, casting a mottled shadow.
In the shadows, an old man with a slightly fat body and gray hair, talking nonsense and making silly giggles from time to time, sat in the corner and got drunk alone, looking at each other in pairs.
"Oh, you mean that guy -" Charlie twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a look of disdain: "Oh, it is said that he is a regular customer here, and is known as 'Gibbs who doesn't draft', hey!"
Gibbs without drafting?
Yi Lin and Ruth looked at each other again.
Does it sound so awesome?
Does it even have a title?
Ruth couldn't help but ask: "Why is it called 'Gibbs who doesn't draft'?"
Charlie chuckled: "He's really good at bragging. He can brag just like the real thing. There's no need to draft it! However, old Gibbs has always been the same braggadocio. As time goes by, other people will also come and go.
I'm tired of hearing it, so no one wants to drink with old Gibbs anymore."
"For example?"
Charlie suddenly came closer, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Gibbs drank too much once, and actually said that his former captain was swallowed by a sea monster, and then they arrived at the end of the world in a boatload of people.
On the other side of the abyss, their captain was resurrected from the dead. Oh my God, this is the most awesome boast Charlie has ever heard."
Ruth's eyebrows twitched and she was quite speechless: "This awesomeness is indeed too much. Don't you think so? My...Rin. Huh???"
Ruth was about to share her thoughts with Yi Lin after hearing this awesome paragraph. When she looked back, she found that Yi Lin had disappeared from her side without knowing when.
"Hmph~yoho~"
in the corner.
Gibbs hummed.
He would take a sip of rum from time to time, and his eyes would be filled with drunkenness.
"Gibbs?"
suddenly.
An indisputable androgynous voice, full of charming magnetism, sounded in Gibbs' ears.
Old Gibbs raised his eyelids slightly, glanced in the direction of the sound, and then lowered his head.
It seems that nothing in this world can be more attractive than the glass of rum on the table.
"If you don't say anything, you are acquiescing? Ha, I have admired your name for a long time."
Gibbs felt something move in his heart.
This movement made him couldn't help but burp: "Hiccup~ Have you heard of my story?"
Yi Lin sat down opposite Gibbs, smiled and shook her head: "No, I've heard that you brag about your awesomeness."
Gibbs: "..."
Yi Lin added seriously: "Besides, your face is full of stories."
Gibbs smiled and drank the rum in his glass.
"Charlie~ Refill."
Yi Lin called Charlie from afar and asked Charlie to fill up Gibbs' rum.
Ruth and Charlie discovered that Yi Lin had sat across from "Gibbs who was not drafting" at some point.
"Hiccup~ Are you a pirate?"
Gibbs stared at the rum on the table that was almost overflowing, and finally became interested in Yi Lin.
Gibbs could say no to anyone, but he couldn't say no to a full glass of rum.
"That's right."
Gibbs smiled coldly: "But I have never seen such a kind pirate, nor have I seen such a generous pirate."
"oh?"
Gibbs took a sip and pointed to the door drunkenly: "Little Peggy defrauded a lot of money in this tavern in the name of the owner of the tavern, and also stole a lot with skillful techniques. Hey, if you hadn't cut off your fingers today,
, that greedy boy will not be happy for a few days, and will die here sooner or later, he underestimated the pirates."
After a pause, Gibbs started talking and continued without stopping: "You cut off little Peggy's finger so that he could no longer steal, and gave him enough gold coins to start a new life... Hey, that kid is now
I think everyone is going crazy with joy, just two fingers, in exchange for a shiny gold coin."
Only then did Yi Lin learn that the dirty kid who wanted to steal his things was called Little Peggy.
But that's not important, Yi Lin did it casually.
Old Gibbs drank the rum in the glass in one gulp. He was so dazed that he couldn't remember which glass it was.
Hiccup~
It seems a bit over the top!
Gibbs pointed at Yi Lin and grinned: "Everyone here is more like a pirate than you! The life of a pirate is not as simple as you think. If you want to play house, hurry up
Go home and drink a few more sips of milk, that's what you should do, instead of thinking about a boring adventure life all day long. Burp~ The old man is full, go back~~"
As he spoke, Gibbs stood up unsteadily, looked at Yi Lin with disdain, shook his head, and hummed a tone-deaf song again.
Ding.
Yi Lin flicked her fingers.
A gold coin fell into Gibbs' empty wine glass with a crisp sound.
"I suppose old Gibbs could use another drink."
In an instant, Gibbs sat down again and tightly covered the wine glass, as if he was afraid that Yi Lin would regret it.
