Chapter 679

    In fact, the sea night is no more peaceful than the daytime. The waves are surging, pushing each other forward and hitting the hull of the black arrow. The first lesson for a novice seaman is to learn to fall asleep on the ship. This is the same reason that Knights must learn to fall asleep at once. If they can''t even rest, what work can they talk about. The sailors on the black arrow were experienced men, and of course they understood that. So after leaving a few of the necessary left behind personnel, the rest of the crew returned to the cabin under the deck to rest. Even though the three masted yacht is much larger than most of the hull, the hammock is still the resting place for most sailors. Throughout the ship, the only bed was placed in the captain''s cabin. But tonight, it doesn''t belong to captain haftan.


    "As a man with broken limbs, you are in good spirits." This was the first word hafdan said when he returned to the captain''s room and saw Lothar leaning against the head of the bed.


    "As a person who has just said hello to the Witch and lived a long time, your spirit is also good." The count replied with a smile that the sound insulation effect of the captain''s cabin was not good. Although not all the things that happened on the deck reached his ears, it was not difficult to guess from the sound.


    "It''s not a good thing to have a good ear, boy. How''s your date? " The captain casually went to his desk, folded the chart spread out on it and put it aside. He carefully lit the candle in the lampshade. Then he opened the only leather book on the table. With the other hand, he searched the drawer of the desk for charcoal. He wants to keep a diary of his voyage, which is something every captain must do. And this diary is often the only clue that later people know that there was such a captain in the world.


    Lothar learned about this habit in a book about life at sea, but it was the first time he had seen a captain do it. So even though all his limbs could not move, he stretched his neck in the hope of seeing haftan''s movements more clearly. After several unsuccessful attempts, the count decided to ask directly, "can you show me the diary of the voyage?"


    "Ha?" The captain laughed and turned to Lothar, showing his rotten teeth. "Of course, you can look at it when I''m dead. Get on the boat on the first day, boy. You don''t know the rules? But the captain and his ship''s log book used to kill him. And it''s better for you to care about the people around you than my life. "


    "She''s OK." Lothar said these three words silent for a moment, her eyes swept over the net worm''s face, she is really OK? Thinking of the last words he said to himself, the count began to feel a mixture of fear and joy, as well as more complex and sticky things like honey that were hard to distinguish. "She will be OK." As if to himself, he said in a lighter voice.


    "Well, she''s OK. But I have to tell you something, boy, and it''s a big deal. With all his limbs broken, what do you think this kind of person will be used for in lost heart Bay? Yeah? Give me a reason to keep you alive instead of throwing you into the sea so that I can have half a bed to sleep in. " After scribbling down a few notes, the captain closed the log book and pushed it casually. He put his shoulder on the back of the chair and looked at the candlelight in the lampshade. In the light of the fire, the figure of the man was magnified and stretched on the wall.


    "Where is my axe?" Rosa asked suddenly. The captain pointed at it, and the count saw the handle of the axe protruding from the barrel by the door. Three days later, Lothar put it into the hands of the fool, and I was not relieved. Then I can prove my worth. "


    Hafdan raised his eyebrows. "I thought the axe could only be used to cut off the hands and feet, but I never heard that it could heal wounds."


    "Only in my hands. Maybe it''s because there are very few people in the world who are as stupid as me Rosa replied that he thought of the fool''s justice that healed his wounds when he fought the devil in valley city. Now that it can, this Tomahawk will not disappoint its owner.


    "Well, then, Mr. fool, I''ll take your story for granted. Because you don''t smell like wine when you ask. Ah, it''s a good habit. You know, no one drinks on the ship except those pirates. " Said the captain, smacking his lips, and drinking from the kettle on the table, "and we would rather drink the stinky water than dip it on the ship."


    "When we get on shore, we can have a good drink." The count was not resistant to wine, and though the knights were strict with themselves, it was not to the point of abstinence. Besides, proper drinking can boost the morale of his subordinates, which Lothar knows quite well. Maybe it''s the blood of Heishan family. Although Lothar has not drunk much wine himself, his drinking capacity is very strange.


    "Well, wait till you have money in your pocket. However, I still know a few places to drink, provided that the bartenders can come back from the sea. But they''re always lucky, and you know, very few people can refuse to go on a boat with a barrel. " Captain hafdan turned his lips, and he was obviously not one of the few.


    "A boat carrying wine is not always far away." Lothar said that this proverb is popular in the coastal area where the grey lion has only one piece, which he heard in the fishing village.Sure enough, the captain laughed, "that''s right, boy. Wine is just a substitute. If your life is exciting enough, you don''t need it. So tell me, are you here for excitement? "


    This is a crucial question, and the answer will relate to the relationship between Lothar and hafdan. The count was aware of this, but at the same time he knew that he could not hesitate in answering the question, for hesitation represented thinking, concealment and suspicion. At sea, there is only one way to get rid of suspicion.


    "Yes. My wife and I, "he said, glancing at the net worm, not noticing the slight tremor of the latter''s fingers," we''re both in some trouble, so we''re going to shixinwan to avoid the limelight. Of course, you have noticed that we used to live on land, so the sea is quite strange to us. As long as this wave is over, we''ll leave here and start over in a place no one knows


    The captain nodded with a meaningful expression, "I''ve seen a boat like you, at least one. It seems that the man before your girlfriend is very powerful. He can force you into this situation. But it doesn''t matter, boy. Lost heart Bay welcomes anyone. We don''t care about the origin and the purpose. But remember, the people here don''t care. You are lucky. I just lost two sailors. If you can recover as you say, you can do some work on my ship. When you can pay my debt for saving you two, you will be free. As for your wife, take her for granted. She can''t follow us out to sea. There are no seamen on board. But don''t worry, she may make more money on shore than you do, if she can be more enthusiastic


    Lothar''s face darkened. He didn''t like the joke. If it''s just a joke. "No, I''ll make money soon. I don''t think we''ll disturb you for a long time


    "Oh, I hope so." Said hafdan, wrapping his belongings in his overcoat and opening the door of the captain''s room, "since you are staying in the only luxurious room on the ship today, of course, this charge should also be put on the bill. Enjoy yourself, my dear sir."
