Chapter Eighteen The Storm at Sea
There is no need to be busy rushing to get on the road, so Xia Zuo still has a long time of freedom, but when wandering on the vast sea, life is still relatively monotonous. For Xia Zuo, the only entertainment and entertainment is to listen to Borott telling his story.
Not to mention how long the dwarf can live, just one crew member, their stories can be compared with the bard. Xia Zuo also has a natural favor for this dwarf, so whenever he has free time, Xia Zuo always likes to run into the dwarf's cabin.
The crew members were very curious, wondering how their irritable captain could have such a conversation with a little devil. However, every once in a while, the unique loud laughter of the dwarf captain always came from the room, confirming their doubts, especially at some times, the crew members would hear Borot yelling in a loud voice: Hey, get some food, I want to greet this little devil well!
Most of the crew members have been working under Borot for a long time. Usually, they only know that the dwarf captain is irritable, loud and stingy... Not to mention hiding coins, even if you secretly drink his wine, he will be yelled for a long time.
Now, they are very surprised by how generous a little ghost is...
Although he heard Beorot himself say that he was already seventy-eight years old, Xia Zuo didn't believe it. He just felt that this captain, who was shorter than him, should be a few years older than him. In addition to having a louder voice, he was very good at telling stories, and he was even more good at drinking. He didn't know why, perhaps because of the favor caused by novelty, or because the two really got along, many times, he still liked to follow this short man: visiting his sailboat, hiding wine, and listening to his wonderful stories...
Until one day, Captain Beorot was a little annoyed and said to Xia Zuo: "Why do you always tell my story? Do you have no stories? Little devil!"
Xia Zuo thought about it. Perhaps it was because of the past few months that he had grown a lot, or because of the treatment of time magic, and when he recalled the past, although he was still a little sad, he no longer had the unforgettable feeling of the past: he met the knight, then became a knight attendant, and then entered the forest, and told him everything he encountered...
Borot no longer spoke with his loud voice, but there was silence in the cabin. Such silence made Xia Zuo, who had gradually adapted to his loud voice, feel a little uncomfortable!
"Menho will bless them!" After a long silence, Beorot's voice was different from his previous loud voice. He said softly. Before Xia Zuo could wonder who this Manho was, Beorot's scream had already sounded again: "Hey, the lazy guy outside, bring me some wine in!"
Xia Zuo didn't know why he had to drink wine for a long time. But when he saw him holding a bottle of wine, Xia Zuo followed suit, but just learned to take a sip, he couldn't help but squirt out, and some of it splashed on the face of the dwarf captain, and then his face turned red and coughed: Xia Zuo had secretly drunk Charlotte's wine when he was very young. After following Gao Wen these days, his alcohol content increased a lot, but the wine that Beorot drank was completely different from ordinary wine. It was like boiling magma in his mouth, which was difficult to swallow.
"It seems that you should practice more alcohol, little dear!" Borot was not angry, wiped the wine stains on his beard and laughed...
The dwarf is not so friendly to anyone, for example, Xia Zuo’s mentor Gao Wen. Especially after knowing his knighthood from Xia Zuo’s mouth, the dwarf’s face was very gloomy every time he saw him. Sometimes, he even snorted in front of him. Fortunately, Gao Wen was not angry about it, so there was no dispute about it!
In addition to entertainment and entertainment, Xia Zuo's training was not let go. Instead, due to the large amount of rest time, there were a lot of extra training. One of them was bows and arrows. I have to admit that an old saying goes: If you want to truly learn, you must first really like it!
Or maybe because the postures Gao Wen learned from the East did have a role. Although his body's strength still could not fully pull the bow and arrow, within a few days, he was able to pull the bow string smoothly, which also improved his accuracy a lot!
Time passes in silence until the sudden 'storm' disrupts such silence...
Rumble ~~
Countless clouds enveloped the sky, and the clear space was gradually spreading with darkness. The lightning of lightning intertwined lightning flashed in the black clouds. The rolling thunder seemed to be waves, invading from the space and rolling. Beorot's voice became even louder under the roar. The crew listened to his command and prepared in an orderly manner to welcome the heavy rain soon.
For a crew member, encountering a storm during the voyage is not a bad thing. The real unlucky thing is...
"Damn it, those bitches are here again!"
Amid the rough roar, a shadow that seemed to be immersed in the darkness gradually approached the sailboat under the rolling waves... Yes, that's the pirate!
Most nobles still believed that only places with land can be called territory! In addition, the natural instability in Shanghai is not very strict for marine control, but for some speculators, it is an excellent transportation channel. Because of this, such a profession was naturally born.
Most pirates are not particularly cruel. As long as you can take the initiative to hand over goods and coins, most of them will save their lives. However, Borut is obviously not the kind of person who can hand over goods directly...
Losing the resistance of the sailboat, instead of trying hard to escape, it is better to have the strength to hold the weapons in your hand tightly!
And this is Beorot's criterion.
Amid the roar, each crew member equipped his weapons and ran quickly through the corridor. On the deck, Xia Zuo's figure walked out of the cabin with Gao Wen. The dripping rain blocked the surrounding view, but the crew member was already standing in various positions in the cabin, waiting for the other party to approach.
Following Gao Wen to the deck, he saw Boruot holding two huge axes in his hand, standing in a crowd with prominent features. Xia Zuo saw these two crossed giant axes in his room, and when he was bored, he moved these two axes, but after trying his best, he still couldn't get it out of the frame. At that time, he thought it was a decoration, but he didn't expect...
"This is not the place you should stay!"
Borot looked at the long sword tightly in Gao Wen's hand, showing a little contempt, and when he turned his eyes to Xia Zuo, he showed a little kindness.
"I am a knight, and 'guarding' is my duty."
When he heard the word "Knight", the crew around him suddenly felt a commotion. Borot had known his identity from Xia Zuo for a long time. He was not surprised. Instead, he snorted coldly. He did not forget: many years ago, it was this so-called knight that drove all the aliens out of the territory, and forced himself to give up his favorite job.
"Little kid, this is not the place you should stay!"
Borot didn't say much to him, and turned his eyes to Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo naturally couldn't listen to him, so he hummed softly, as if he was an answer, but at the same time Gao Wen's eyes were also on him, "You go back to the cabin first!"
Xia Zuo, who was still a little excited and happy, heard this and couldn't help but respond in distress and walked back to the cabin...
