"What do you think about it?" the old man Helen said to August, and then turned his head awkwardly, subconsciously avoiding young Jin and staring at him with hatred, his eyes like blades. [No pop-up novel website] ^_^Read·Book·First·Post·Please·Arrive·^_^Since he took Reginald to the second floor, Jin has not said another word, just like this Looking at him with hatred.
This makes Helen very uncomfortable... You must know that although Jin is nominally an adjutant, he actually serves as the captain's attendant and is responsible for Lu Yuan's daily life, food, etc. Speaking of which, most of the time, he should be taking care of young Jin, and he should be teaching young Jin. Jin's heart should be towards him!
He thought this angrily, and couldn't help turning to Jin and said, "He sent you and that woman away, but left us behind to die facing Kraken. It was he who betrayed us first!" Even this When talking, he did not forget to win over his allies. But Reginald seemed not to hear it and ate and drank Auguste and Gold Point's lunch without a care. Helen was still trying to find a fig leaf, and he didn't even need one.
"Ship, captain, start and end, on, boat, on board!" After young Jin finished these words one by one, he turned his head away and stopped looking at these two guys. Although Kim is a teenager, he is very traditional. He believes that after a captain achieves "the captain and the ship sink together", it should be a basic quality for the crew to stay and participate in the battle. The crew that escaped were a disgrace to everyone, including himself.
"Do you think he is so kind? He let us get on the boat to use us as bait!" Helen was sophistical, while Jin looked coldly. He looked out the window with a sneer. Jin, who was only fourteen years old, seemed to have grown up suddenly at this time. Helen had to continue making up the story, but August interrupted him directly, pointing to a large Galen ship anchored in the harbor and asking. "Your ship? Such a big ship is not cheap. Who did you betray this time?"
Helen was speechless.
August put down the rum glass in his hand, "Let me guess, Lihua...mei? Misha? Elizabeth?" As he spoke, he looked at Helen's expression. When he mentioned Misha, he noticed that he The tip of his eyebrows twitched. "Ha. It's Misha! You're really good..." The tone was full of sarcasm. But not anxious. At this time, August didn't look rough and happy at all, and his observation skills were astonishing. Speaking of which, he actually looks a bit like Alexander in the world of winning.
He and Misha are colleagues. between us. He has long recognized the opponent's strength. August believed. If Misha was caught so easily, then he would just be delivering food when he ran to the rescue, so he simply wouldn't think about it. After all, he is still a foreign aid if he stays outside. What's more, in this era, there really isn't such a sophisticated and efficient judicial system. Just like Auguste, as long as he finds a few friends and spends some money to manage things, he can stay in Port-au-Prince without worrying about anyone coming to arrest him.
First of all, he was not the main target. Secondly, what August and everyone at the "Opera House" didn't know was that because Lu Yuan killed the Norwegian sea monster Kraken, he made a great contribution to the entire navigation industry. Therefore, the reward amounts for himself and the members of the "Opera House" have all been reduced sharply, and even the amounts for most people have dropped to zero. If it weren't for the death of two governors, most people's wanted orders could have been canceled directly. On the wanted posters, everyone's portraits, whether Misha or August, have returned to the classic image of a gold-toothed one-eyed pirate, and the description information has become inconsistent. What a ghost.
"So what, it's just a woman... I didn't do it myself, so that's enough friendship!" Helene finally tore off the mask and her tone became shameless. August stretched out his hand and pressed Jin's shoulders as he was about to stand up, telling him not to be impulsive.
"Idiot! You're lucky to have lived so long!" August sneered. He tapped the table with his hand, just like Young King did just now, and said every word. "Are you sure the captain can't come back? If Lu comes back, think about what he will do to you? I feel pity for you... You are as old as a dog." He pointed to the big ship outside, " All your money was used to prepare these things? Haha~ If I were you, I would seize the time to enjoy it!"
"No...impossible! That's the kraken! The nightmare kraken of the North Sea! Who can survive its claws?!" Helen's old man argued with a pale face.
"Hahaha!" August slapped the table as if he had heard some great joke, and even burst into tears. After waiting for a while, he gradually stopped and said while wiping his tears. "You're laughing me to death, you're really laughing me to death." Then he slammed the table hard, causing Helen to lean back in fright.
Auduste glanced at him contemptuously and said disdainfully, "Jin, tell him!"
Young Jin turned his head, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire. He stared at Helen with his eyes wide open and said slowly, "The captain will definitely come back! Because both of you can come back alive, how can something happen to the captain who is thousands of times better than you?!"
Helen was shaking all over and didn't know how to refute...
"It's useless to say all that!" Reginald had finished eating and drinking, wiped his mouth, and suddenly became afraid of the table. "You go or not! August, let me tell you! I let you and Jin go because we were on the same boat in the past, so we can share a way of making money for you! Don't wait for the man named Lu, he is guarding With such a large cabin of wealth, he must have died a long time ago! Because you know the man named Lu better, let us find the location of the sunken ship of the Maria as soon as possible. This matter will make everyone rich together!"
"You deserve to talk to me? Nigger!" August squinted his eyes, and that "nigger" hit Reginald's face like a whip, causing his face to twitch.
"Shh~!" Reginald glared at August fiercely, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. Immediately, nearly a hundred black people appeared around the bar in twos and threes, surrounding the two-story building. This place is close to the port. The sailors passing back and forth saw that these black people were armed, so they couldn't help walking around and talking.
"What now?" Reginald showed a victor's smile, able to condescendingly oppress a white man. It made him feel great. When he came back this time, he was not only very lucky to win over the black people who were originally under Lu Yuan, but also asked the governor of Port-au-Prince to liberate a group of black slaves for him, which greatly increased his strength! Now Helen's old man has to listen to him, and he is the one who takes the lead in salvaging the sunken ship!
"A nigger is a nigger, and he only deserves to be a lowly slave..." August seemed to have not seen the hundreds of people, and was talking to himself. Reginald's face kept trembling, and he could hardly bear it. .
But just when he was about to order a siege, August suddenly stood up. Reginald was startled. He hid back for a moment. As a result, August ignored him at all. He stood directly on the edge of the second floor, instantly attracting the attention of the bar and even the sailors passing nearby.
I heard August, directly facing the guests upstairs and downstairs. Pedestrians passing by shouted loudly. "People of God. Have you seen this?! This despicable nigger, this despicable black slave, just threatened his master! That's me! Treat him to a drink. Give him money and free him!" He spoke with righteous indignation, "As an honest businessman! A man of God! A white man! How could I stand this insult!? And then as you saw! He tried to get these niggers to mob me... "
"Is this a slave riot?" a sailor standing on the street shouted. At this time, all the white people who heard August's words, whether they were guests in the bar or passers-by on the road, took up arms and surrounded him. At this time, the proportion of people going out with weapons is very high, and there is no such thing as being bare-handed.
"That's right!" August gave a thumbs up, "It's a slave rebellion!"
The sailor began to turn around and run towards the dock, shouting as he ran, "Slave riot! Slave riot!..." Well, in this era, in a big port like Port-au-Prince, there were several slave traffic lines going in and out every day. Ship, it is not surprising at all to encounter slave riots. Often at this time, all interested merchants and ship owners will send sailors to participate in the suppression...
"I'm not a slave! I'm not a slave! I have a certificate of emancipation from the Governor!" Reginald shouted anxiously. He could threaten a white man, but he dared not threaten all white men! Besides, as long as he dares to injure a white man in front of the public, the "Liberation Certificate" will immediately become a piece of waste paper!
"It's the former Governor!" August added viciously. Reginald's face turned darker...
At this time, the owner of the bar took several strong men upstairs with a flintlock gun. With just one glance, he aimed his gun at Reginald, the black man, and said the words that any bar owner with a gun would say - "Slave! Get out of my bar!"
Helen had to lower her head and leave first. Reginald also ran out bitterly and hurriedly left with his black men, avoiding the gathering teams. Any conflict would be a disaster for him. He understood now... He could not gain real freedom from these white people.
"You want to liberate the black slaves?!" the bar owner spat at Reginald's back, looking at the place where the black man had been sitting with disgust on his face. At first glance, he was a man who hated black people extremely.
"I agree with what our captain said." August came down from the eaves, pulled up the young Jin and prepared to leave. "I hate slavery, but I hate black people even more!" Well, Lu Yuan's original words were the other way around.
"Well said! I like your captain..." The old man put away his flintlock happily, "Bring him here to drink! I'll treat you."
"Got it." August waved his hand and left with Jin. Although a wanted warrant doesn't work, you still have to be on guard against being directly betrayed.
*****
Walking on the pier, neither of them spoke.
If it were in the past, maybe Jin would still ask, "Is the captain really okay?"
But what happened today still had a huge impact on the young man. And...he has asked that question too many times.
Port-au-Prince is a natural harbor even better than Havana. The entire south is blocked by tall mountains from the Caribbean wind. As long as you pass by Gonave Island and the dozens of kilometers of coastline close to Port-au-Prince, you can use it as a dock.
The two of them were walking aimlessly, and when passing by a bustling pier, they accidentally saw the emotional comedy caused by several teenagers there, which eventually turned into a farce of two girls competing for the throne.
August had never seen a dragon dog. It was this name. When he heard Lu Yuan mention some interesting things, he also mentioned the name "Doug." So he didn't know that the big boy squatting on the ground, super depressed, was the protagonist in the stories Lu Yuan told - comedy. Next to them, one of the two beautiful women is Elizabeth's best friend Helena. Even further away, the guy who hid as soon as he saw August was the former governor of Trinidad, the port he once captured with his men...
The world is small. So does the Caribbean.
Now the subject of a quarrel between two girls. They have gone from unanimously fighting for the dragon dog to unanimously belittling and despising the dragon dog... So now he is squatting there in super frustration, listening to the two women constantly listing his shortcomings - although Helena is watching It's a bit unbearable, but - winning is the most important thing!
August was dumbfounded.
Just looking at those energetic teenagers. He seemed to see him and Jacques back then. It felt a little sad all of a sudden. Just when he was about to ask Jin to leave. Suddenly, he saw Jin Zheng listening attentively to the lively quarrel over there, with an expression on his face...envy.
August suddenly felt something in his heart, and he remembered what Lu Yuan had told him. If Lu Yuan is gone, please take good care of Young Jin's words.
Jin... seems to be more suitable to be with peers?
August was a man who did what he thought of. So he immediately dragged Jin and strode onto the dock.
"Hey! Guys! I heard you need a boat?" he said loudly, showing his rough and easy-to-deceive look again. When she heard what he said, Helena's eyes lit up, and her face even said "There is someone who has been taken advantage of"! Lilu immediately showed a vigilant expression and took a few steps back towards her ship, shortening the escape distance. After all, she has much more experience than these people. She has also seen guys pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
But when she turned her head and looked at the little follower following the big man, she felt dizzy and couldn't help but open her mouth. How... could there be such a beautiful man? ! As for the dragon dog who was still fighting for just now...who is the dragon dog?
Young Jin was originally just a boy in a tavern. He looked sallow and thin and wore shabby clothes every day. Of course, it was hard to tell whether he was a handsome man or not. But since boarding Lu Yuan's ship, he washed frequently, had good nutrition, and dressed in military uniforms, matching his handsome face with the spirit of a young soldier. No wonder he won the title of "Ganymede of the Opera House" in a short time. "Ganymede is a famous beautiful boy in Greek mythology.
Sure enough, as soon as the young Jin appeared, he first killed the contractor Ye Zuo, and then the eyes of Lilu, the heroine of the Age of Discovery, shined.
But Jin's eyes were not on Lilu. He looked at Long Dog, Xiao Kou and his friends. These teenagers were all still wearing the uniforms of the Havana guards. Now they saw the upright Jin walking towards them with a sense of oppression. Unknowingly, everyone stood up straight, as if they were competing with each other. The two sides stood opposite each other, looking at each other proudly.
"I have a ship, and I need it to go out to sea and make money for me... Can I hire you?" Although this kind of employment is abrupt, it is not uncommon, but no one just randomly finds a group of people on the dock.
"...Oh...but..." Longgou felt that this didn't look very reliable. Just when he was about to decline politely, he heard Xiao Kou whispering in his ear, "For the sake of God, Promise him! We need to eat... I'm starving, or do you want to use Helena's charity money from her brother?"
"Okay! But... the ships we used to sail were seven-six-star ships, the best in Havana! If your ship is too old, we will not accept it."
"Don't worry! What I provide you is definitely the best ship in the Northern Caribbean!" Of course, there were three words of the ship's name that were not spoken. "Siren", the famous pirate ship... This five-star Skuna sailing ship has been parked on the shore for a while... August did have a taste of the big ship as Lu Yuan said. After experiencing this, there is no way to go back.
So even though the "Siren" was there, he still didn't have the passion to organize the crew to go to sea, so he might as well leave it to these energetic teenagers. As for wanted? It would be no problem to change the name of the ship.
"And I will also provide you with the best helmsman and first mate in history, Jin!" He pressed Jin's shoulders and pushed him out. To his surprise, facing these teenagers, Jin didn't feel any shy as before. I saw him straightening his chest, standing in front of those teenagers, and proudly declaring, "I once followed the best captain in the Caribbean! I will continue to follow him in the future! In the meantime, rookies, let Let me see what you are capable of!"
The teenagers were filled with indignation! But now they regard Jin as the representative sent by the ship owner to the ship. They are quite angry but dare not speak out, and their belly is as big as the sky...
"Hahaha~" August smiled happily. After a long period of training by Lu Yuan, young Jin had the experience of being on his own, and had even sailed a boat to deal with the "Blue Bird". Compared with these teenagers, Jin is definitely more experienced, and calling them "rookies" is not unfair at all.
What's more, they just heard that these people's boats were cheated away... Jin curled his lips at that time, how stupid must one be to achieve this achievement? In order to protect our "Siren", I must get on board and keep an eye on it.
At this time, Helena also came over. She glanced at August with a complicated expression, and then also persuaded Long Dog to agree.
Just now, McLaren, who was standing in the distance, first recognized August. After all, the two sides were once enemies. McLaren had seen his appearance with a telescope on the turret. But he didn't stop it - yes, "Opera House" is a wanted criminal, but isn't it a legend? ! Isn't it proud? !
Heroic and free, uninhibited and chivalrous, this was the style of the explorers who sailed the sea in the early years. This temperament is perfectly reproduced in the "Opera House", just like the golden age of geographical discovery has returned. Compared with pirates, soldiers and businessmen, they sail on the sea more for the justice and interests in their hearts. The "Opera House" is the idol of many people. When they drove the clipper ship across the northern Caribbean Sea, how many big shots were invincible!
Therefore, he still instigated Helena to come forward and settle the matter. Sure enough, August didn't care about profits or anything like that. His only requirement is that the teenagers must perform feats that are in line with the quality of the ship and cannot insult the speedboat... Isn't this very appropriate for passionate teenagers?
Look, this is the "Opera House" I know, the home of idealists... McLaren thought with fascination, if it weren't for my damn sense of family responsibility!
Becoming a sub-group under the "Opera House", even McLaren has the urge to "let me do it".
