Everyone has scars, but some are on their bodies and some are in their hearts.

When he heard me ask Princess Maggie, a look of pain appeared on Mavie's face. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Anyway, I'm leaving here, and it doesn't matter if I tell the truth, right! Captain, you have agreed to take me in, right?"

I shrugged and said relaxedly: "The local law is not binding on me. As long as you are loyal to Bianhai, I don't care about your past."

Mavie laughed and said excitedly: "I finally met a reliable boss! Then I'll tell the truth."

He gently pulled out a pendant from his chest, opened it and handed it to me. After I took it, I saw it in the light of the fire. It was a sketch portrait of the two children. A boy and a girl. Two people were shoulder to shoulder, smiling happily.

I handed the pendant back to Mavie, but didn't speak, but waited for him to continue talking.

"This is my sister and I, Maggie, yes, it's Princess Maggie I just mentioned. She is my sister, half-sister!" Mavi's expression suddenly dimmed, as if she was very sad.

I scratched my head a little and asked, "Well...Mavie, I don't really understand your expression. This...I mean, the indigenous king... did he know about this during his lifetime?"

Mavi raised his head, and then became happy again in a blink of an eye, showing a sly smile and said, "Of course I don't know! My father did it very neatly! How could that silly king know?" He actually looked very proud.

I and the listeners around me were speechless. This seemed... not something to be proud of! The loud and high-pitched melodious tune of "Hulunbuir Prairie" sounded in my ears...

So I coughed and continued to ask, "So, you can tell me what you really think. Mavie."

Mavie didn't hide it and said excitedly: "I want to save Maggie! Captain!"

I frowned slightly. I didn't mind helping others, but I never like to be exploited.

My silence made Mavie feel a little nervous. He was afraid that I would abolish the previous agreement and not take him away. So he speeded up his speech and continued to add: "Because no matter what, Blade Sea and Kuhn will have a battle! Captain."

I nodded and said calmly: "You are right. There are no two tigers in one mountain. When we come to Nanyang, we and Kuhn will definitely not cooperate in close cooperation. But I want to know, Chef Mavie, you want to use me to find relatives or avenge yourself, right?"

Mavi lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and continued: "My father is a king from Nanyang. I mean, he used to be."

A trace of uncoverable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he continued slowly: "Our kingdom is on Panay Island south of Manila. My father was once the ruler there. However, with his death, all this no longer exists. You can see that I am now a chef." After saying that, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

I asked, "What happened? I mean, your kingdom."

"Tsunami! An extremely strong tsunami!" Mavi's face was covered with haze. His voice suddenly became louder and suddenly became low again. He sighed and said, "When I was six years old, there was an unprecedented tsunami on Panay Island. Our kingdom was destroyed! Many people were dead, including my mother, so my father took me out to sea and lived on selling past inventory and maritime trade."

I nodded and asked again, "What's next?"

Mavi continued to recall: "Later, we came here, Manila, and met my father's old friend, the local Governor Mr. Pence. Mr. Pence was very nice to us and gave us a stronghold so that my father could engage in marine trade with peace of mind. Of course, we also had to help Pence solve some problems, such as collecting debts, looking for strange products, etc., and he would also give us some compensation. Overall, we were doing well!"

I knew there was a story behind, so I didn't speak, but listened quietly. The night wind blew, and it seemed a little cool. The young man leaned gently on my arm, his cheek against my shoulder.

"Later, my father met the queen of the southern Kingdom of Siva. Both of them loved each other, so... so my sister Maggie!" Mavi seemed to feel a little embarrassed for the first time, so he added loudly: "But I know that my father and Ms. Ninian really fell in love with each other, and did not change their feelings until he died..."

I nodded, smacked my lips, and continued to ask, "Your father..."

Mavi raised his head and said calmly: "Father died of a gunshot wound." After that, he pulled up his clothes and exposed his abdomen. With the light of fire, I clearly saw several crooked wounds there, but it was already the same. In the light and shadow, those wounds were like twisted snakes, which made people feel heart-pounding!

"When I was twelve years old, Maggie was over four years old. My father took me out to sea. Our boat went to Maggio (Macau) and brought back the best black tea and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, as well as this pendant." Mavi stroked the pendant in his hand and said quietly: "Originally, my father wanted to give it to Maggie, mine was another one, but before sending it to the port of Manila, we were suddenly hit hard!"

His face was covered with haze, his tone was rapid, and my ears seemed to hear the tragic moment! "The wind was strong! It was a hurricane! Our ships barely persevered and returned to Manila through the Pacific Ocean! However, just five nautical miles before the port, we were hit with unprecedented fierce attacks!"

"They were hanging the flag of Santa Marta, and we all thought they were Spanish. So the translator on the ship shouted loudly in Spanish! Wrong! Wrong! We are not enemies! But the opponent's attack did not weaken at all, but became even more violent!" Mavi's voice seemed to come from deep underground, and I heard it secretly with goose bumps behind me.

"Finally, our ship was captured! These robbers! They rushed up, snatched all the goods, and shot two shots at everyone who was still alive! Including me!" Mavi's voice lowered: "My father hugged me and jumped into the sea, used the cover of wind and waves, and swam desperately to the shore with a wooden board! Finally..."

He covered his face and I saw two crystal drops of crystal drops slipping down. "Finally, we swam to the shore. I was shot a few times, and my father was too. But he tried his best to save me and died not long after he came up. Before he died, he said to me, Mavie, take care of your sister. Also, tell Ninian that my love for her is true!"

For a moment, the air around me was frozen. Is love really that great?

Mavie put down his hand and smiled bitterly: "My life is very big. Mr. Kunke, the owner of the restaurant I worked in before, found out. He dragged me back to the store from the beach, invited a doctor to save me. After I got well, I had nowhere to go, so I stayed in his store and helped him run it. Unfortunately, at about this time last year, Mr. Kunke died of tuberculosis. He had no relatives, so I inherited his store."

I nodded, not knowing what to say, this child's fate is too illegitimate.

Mavi suddenly asked, "Captain, you won't think I'm not going to be lucky and don't want to take me on the boat!"

I was stunned. To be honest, I had this idea for a moment, but soon I smiled and said, "Young man, I empathize with your experience. If possible, I hope to help you - just like I was helped back then!"

When I said this, the sound of wind and rain at Yokohama Port sounded in my ears, just like that same cold and cold night. I wanted to help this child, and my heart was crying.

Mavi looked at me blankly, and tears burst out again. He wiped his tears silently and said in a calm tone: "Yes! Yes! Thank you! Captain!"

For some reason, from him, I seemed to see my shadow about the years before. I couldn't help but sigh.

Mavie calmed down and continued: "Later, I inquired from multiple sources and found out the truth. The Santa Marta fleet was not in South China at that time, but was destroying pirates near Havana in the New World! It was not someone else who attacked our fleet, but was the fleet of Simon Scott, the president of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, the younger brother of the Simon Scott!"

Without waiting for my answer, he continued quickly: "It was them who disguised themselves as Spanish fleets and used the cover of the storm to sneak attack us, which made me alone from now on! It was also him who attacked the kingdom where Maggie was and captured Maggie! It was him who personally gave Maggie to the governor of Jakarta!"

Mavi's face was extremely twisted at this moment! He pulled out two scimitars from his waist and stabbed them heavily on the ground, almost roaring: "I want to take revenge! I will not escape anymore! I want to uproot the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce!"

After a long time, I sighed again and said, "Tell me your plan, Mavie. I am willing...well, I mean if we happen to have the same goal, I am willing to help you fulfill your wish!"

Mavi's eyes were burning! Because he found the possibility of revenge, his heart leaped violently again! After a long time, Mavi calmed down and smiled bitterly: "Captain, I grew up in the royal family's home. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, although the sparrow is small, it is complete. I know that there is no help for no reason in this world, and the help from mercy will not last long!"

I nodded, thinking that this young man is really good, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the truth. Then I asked softly, "So, what price can you pay?"

Mavie smiled bitterly and then said, "Captain, the so-called cook, this is simply a joke - because it is too humble. But I can pay the deposit first!"

I smiled slightly and said calmly: "Oh! Let's hear it!"

Mavi nodded, looked around and saw that they were all my confidants. He lowered his voice and said, "In my hometown, Panai Island! There is a ruin under the ruins of the Kingdom of Panai. It is said that there are precious things inside, and I mean, extremely precious things!"

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What is it? A stone tablet? Or a sculpture?"

Mavi smiled and heard my joke. He continued, "You are right! It's a stone sculpture! But it's not an ordinary stone sculpture!"

I smiled and said, "So, where is the magic of this stone sculpture?"

Mavie said seriously: "That is the secret of our royal family. It is said that this stone sculpture comes from Spain, and was given to the Italian navigator by the former Spanish queen Isabella. It can effectively inspire morale at sea. As long as the captain prays to it sincerely, the sailors on the ship will be motivated and become extremely brave!"

I said with interest and asked, "You mean, the bow image?"

Mavie nodded and said, "Yes, the bow image! According to my father, the kingdom on the island next to him had come to invade us. In a critical moment, my father relied on the inspiration of the Governor's stone statue, all the remaining five hundred warriors went wild, defeating the invading three thousand powerful enemies in one fell swoop, regaining the lost land, and there were no captives!"

There were no prisoners...I was silent. It seemed that I had done such a thing, but I had a huge interest in this stone statue in my heart.

Mavie continued: "Later, my father sealed it underground because he thought this thing was too murderous. But soon after, we encountered a tsunami... and then there were various encounters, so today...."

I sighed and continued, "Okay, I'm very interested in this thing. You just said two deposits, what is the other one?"

Mavi lowered his head, pointed at the chart he had just drawn on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Here, Mindanao, there is a secret stronghold of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce! Whether they attack us or my sister - and the future attack on the Blade Sea, they must all set out from here! So, I am willing to take you and the fleet to uproot this place!"
