Reckless Through The New World

"Clear your eyes! No one is allowed to sleep! Come to the deck for me! Pay attention to all your front, rear, left, right, and sail, and keep your distance from the fog!"

Ron Lake, the captain of the "Snow Kaze" armed clipper, shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wake me up! After tonight, I can sleep all day and night!"

Like a tiger trapped in a cage, he walked around restlessly, pressing his right eyelid with his fingers from time to time, but he couldn't hold back the jumping eyelid, and he couldn't help but panic even more.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as his right eyelid twitches, there is definitely no good thing. The degree of bad luck is uncertain, but bad luck is certain.

"Damn it! What could have happened so badly?" he muttered in a low voice, terrified.

Captain Lake is a novice in the business of pirates. He was originally a merchant in northern Morlaix, doing some business between Morlaix and Thrace. After the outbreak of the Battle of Norma, his business was greatly affected and plummeted. At this time, another business opponent fell into the trap, fabricated evidence that he colluded with Thrace, and wanted to kill him. Ron Lake, who was desperate, made a concerted effort to gather the guys in the caravan, beguiling and seducing them. Finally, with the help of spirits and some drugs from some illegal organizations, he successfully helped this group of original business people change jobs. Become a pirate, the sacrifice is to frame his enemies.

Since then, there is no "Haruyuki" Chamber of Commerce that drives a fast boat to do business, but there are more "Xuefeng Pirates" who drive the fast boat that was renamed "Xuefeng" and do business at sea without capital. group".

However, Captain Lake is really not a good pirate. He has been in the industry for more than two years, but the income is very bleak. If you only look at the gross profit, it seems to be better than when you were doing business at the beginning. However, because you have to give a lot of rewards to your subordinates, so that they can drink, eat meat, and prostitutes, in the end, the net profit is pitiful. How much can you save.

Captain Lake felt that it would not work like this, so he wanted to find some experts in the piracy industry to learn. After going back and forth, I found Captain Norway, who was said to have disembarked from the Pirate King's flagship "Redbeard" and was driving a retired battleship from the Barbarossa Pirates.

Captain Norway was young and had very little experience in the piracy industry - his time as a captain would not add up to more than a year. But in less than a year, he has successfully robbed 14 merchant ships, obtained extremely rich profits, and became a surprise soldier in the pirate world in the northeastern part of the South China Sea.

Captain Lake and several other pirate captains are usually active in this area, and they are familiar with Captain Norway. Seeing that this newly debuted guy is so good, everyone has the idea of ​​hugging their thighs - that's why this joint action is made.

According to the development of "historical", these people will become the original team of the future "Wolf Pirates". In the years to come, they will continue to commit crimes with Norway, and they will all become big pirates. However, because of the appearance of traversers, history has turned a corner here. Captain Norway died before he had time to become famous. The original team of this group of "Wolf Pirates" is also facing the crisis of being defeated by each.

Captain Lake has been twitching his right eyelid since yesterday evening. This made him very uneasy, and he couldn't even sleep. At the beginning of the night, the chief mate woke him up and told him that "the sea is foggy", which made him agitated. fall last.

Pirates are shrewd people who can't rub half a grain of sand in their eyes. Although it is safe to fall behind, they will suffer a lot when they finally divide the spoils. If they meet a strict leader, they may send you away after a meal. So from the first mate to the sailors, the crew of the "Yukikaze" objected to the captain's orders. However, Captain Lake showed a very tough attitude. While he declared that "this ship will concentrate on escorting friendly forces", he repeatedly emphasized to everyone the strangeness of the current situation - at sea, strangeness is danger!

Although it is said that pirates are desperadoes and don't care about danger, the backbone of Captain Lake's group is still the group of former businessmen. Compared with ordinary pirates, they can fight a little less, but not all spirits are in their heads, at least they have a little brain. So they were finally persuaded by Captain Lake and took his orders.

At this moment, this strange pirate ship was spinning in circles outside the sea fog created by Liu Daoqing, and it refused to take even half a step.

"Why hasn't the fog cleared yet?" Captain Lake asked, frowning. "Didn't the magician do something?"

"The ceremony to disperse the fog has been held for almost an hour, but...the scope is very limited." The navigator also frowned and said, "Even if we only need to go a little deeper into the fog, the effect of dispersing the fog will be gone."

"This fog is absolutely abnormal!" said the first officer. "There shouldn't be such fog in the deep sea, let alone it is so thick that it cannot be dispelled... I think behind this fog, I'm afraid there are sea monsters and the like..."

Speaking of sea monsters, the faces of the leaders of the Snow Wind Pirates changed. For those who seek life at sea, the first fear is the storm, and the second fear is the sea monster.

The first and second are not fixed, but... Anyway, whichever one encounters is a life-and-death experience, in fact, there is not much difference...

Captain Lake suddenly stood up, his bloodshot eyes staring at the depths of the sea fog, his fists clenched tightly.

He wanted to run away, but if he ran now, it turned out to be a false alarm, then he would lose face in the pirate business. And Captain Norway certainly couldn't forgive him lightly - the final result was probably a dead end.

But... if you don't run now, you may not have to wait for the "final", and you will soon be a dead end...

Just as he was hesitating, vague exclamations and screams suddenly came from the fog.

That voice sounded like "Dragon".

He shook his body and asked the person next to him, "Did you hear anything?"

"There is a sound in the fog."

"It seems that someone is shouting 'Dragon'..."

"But I didn't hear a roar. It is said that dragons like to roar first when they come out?"

The sailors answered in a scramble.

This answer made Captain Lake make up his mind.

"Go! Go now!" he shouted to the first mate, the bosun, and the navigator. "Whether he makes a fortune or not! Let's go! This kind of weird stuff can't be mixed! The big deal is that we will do business somewhere else in the future—even if It's better to go and rob Thrace's merchant ships than to take risks in this weird place!"

This time, the sailors made no objection and took his orders in silence.

So the "Snow Wind Pirates" became the only one who escaped among the six pirate ships that were jointly robbed.

Captain Lake got the news almost half a month later: the five pirate ships headed by Captain Norway were all annihilated, and the pirate leaders were either killed on the spot or sent to the Sea Dragon Islands to be hanged. Their bodies were pickled with sea salt and hung on the port of Longtou Island. The governor of the port was also very considerate to unload them and transport them into the house every rainy day to protect them from the rain to ensure that they can be durable and high-quality. Cured meat.

This news made Captain Lake take a breath of air, and was deeply grateful for his choice. Until a few years later, he was keen to brag about it, boasting of his own good fortune, as well as keen judgment and extraordinary decisiveness.
