The tavern in Port-au-Prince, where you can see the harbor, Auguste is sitting there. [No pop-up novel website] Lunch, rum, another day of killing time... After only one month, he was itching all over, and he always felt that his butt was getting bigger again, and My waist is a little sore.
"Those damn slutty bitches... I should have kept Jin as my first mate!" He muttered, thinking about the truth of those people who were drunk together in yesterday's scene. Maybe he really should buy a big boat and take a group of people to sea again. The sailors who had served Lu Yuan unconsciously got together again, and then after getting drunk, they began to miss those "good old days".
Without it, I would just be miserable now. I remember when they were on Lu Yuan's ship, they were facing victory after victory and enjoying huge dividends. At that time, they felt that they were the kings of the world! When they chose to leave... wasn't it because they thought too highly of themselves?
Every time they arrive at a port, the sailors of the "Opera House" will enjoy unique treatment - they will be invited to drink by the bar owner, and a large group of sailors will surround them just to listen to his bragging. There are also other ships The captain contacted them secretly, promising high salary, adjutant position to poach them, and even free entertainment from prostitutes... What a good life! All ruined by my own stupidity!
The young captain who has been watching them with cold eyes and refusing to hold on to them is the most powerful person in the world! Now, those who had complained about Lu Yuan had all their reasons for complaining. Those who have scolded Lu Yuan can no longer come up with new ways to curse. able to gather in Port-au-Prince. The sailors who begged August truly understood. He is a fool himself.
Now, "the gunners of the Opera House can't raise the angle of fire" has become a popular joke in various ports. The status of the sailors who once worked on the "Opera House" ship has also plummeted, and they have become synonymous with parallel imports.
On the contrary, several lieutenants of the "Opera House" have risen with the tide.
In the recent battle against pirates and slave ships, young Jin commanded the "Siren" in seven battles and seven victories, perfectly continuing the "Opera House" tradition of anti-slavery and anti-piracy, and taking over Lu Yuan's Big flag. Now he was known as "The Little Magician" and everyone except the women looked away from his amazing appearance. Started to marvel at his strength.
You know, he used to be just Lu Yuan's attendant. He was only fourteen years old. What a bright future he had!
"Fantasy" Li Huamei, with a single sword, swept across the British sailors.
"Siren" Misha and "Noble Girl" Elizabeth actually drove France's ace battleship "Ark Royal" to forcibly "tax" all ports on the west coast of the Caribbean! This feat is simply unheard of, shocking both ancient and modern times! The strangest thing is. After collecting taxes, they would hold a grand ladder climb on the battleship, inviting all local officials to participate. On board the gorgeous Ark Royal, they not only kept these people entertained with proper etiquette, fashion and delicious food. He also used one-half of the tax amount to fill their pockets, so that everyone could return home satisfied. It was justifiable to steal the kingdom's money and enrich their own pockets... This tax collection was very popular.
Anyway. This incident completely turned into a "legendary aristocratic affair" rather than an act of piracy!
Due to the west coast of the Caribbean Sea. Most of the ports along Central America are Spanish colonies. Why the French ace warship "Ark Royal" is in the hands of the "Opéra"... I really can't explain. Questions from opponents and allies made the French governor anxious.
Of course, what pained him the most was his immediate boss, His Majesty King Louis XIV of France. He actually sent an open letter from France, first praising the two ladies for being "deeply honored" to favor the "Ark Royal" (because the "Ark Royal" is the sister ship of the "Sun King", and the "Sun King" "It is the ship of Louis XIV, and it is named after him as the "Sun King". Then he openly invited these two "female bandit leaders" to visit his newly built huge palace "Versailles", where a grand ceremony will be held. Obscene and incestuous climbing on the ladder and so on... If your sister is looking for a mistress, don't find me the Caribbean Sea!
What made Spanish Governor Leblanc collapse the most was that King Carlos II of Spain did the same stupid thing as Louis XIV of France... because these two unscrupulous girls are now popular in Europe!
Even within the contractor team, Zhuo Xiaoji, who was originally shy, can now crush the entire Qianlong team in commanding naval battles (none of them have fought in naval battles very often, which makes the protagonist Ye Zi, who has a special forces background, feel even more disappointed) . However, he is not the most failed contractor... In the "Tearer Team", Gao Chuan found that the boat he drove was no better than a parrot... He was suddenly struck with ecstasy and drank all day long. Worry - not to mention Ye Zuo's "Shen. Last-hitting skill", which will definitely make him commit suicide after drinking.
In short, these things made everyone suddenly realize that the "Opera House" may have gathered a group of talented people; but more likely, it will make people become talented!
Therefore, more and more people are focusing on Auguste, who is known as "Heracles" and is the only free character in the "Opera House".
McLaren, who is now serving as a musketeer officer in the UK, once recruited him with an appointment as captain. In addition, the local French governor also sent people to test it out. Recently, even the sailors who worked on the "Opera House" in the past have gathered in Port-au-Prince and come to the door collectively, hoping that he can be the boss and lead everyone to live a good life again... But he is not the last Decide.
After drinking a little wine and finishing lunch, August looked out the window boredly.
Then, two old men, black men Reginald and Helen, sat in front of August again.
August looked at the two men with some mockery, which undoubtedly aroused the anger of the two men, but they both suppressed it. August's eyes swept over the two men unscrupulously. The vulgar gold chain Reginald wore last time was gone, and the ornately decorated scimitar was also missing. Helen's old man's monocle, pocket watch and kaiseki pipe were also missing.
Apparently, the search for the treasure failed, and they lost a large sum of money to cover the costs of the entire process.
Of course August knew this, and it wasn't the case when he first became captain.
In the beginning, having a ship of your own and a group of brothers who believe in you as your subordinates is really a great confidence! You will feel that nothing in the world can trouble you. But after a period of time without income, or after you have lost your job once or twice, debts will begin to weigh on your head like a mountain. The supplies, salaries, and hole repairs after troubles, etc. of these brothers become yours. Nightmare... You have to pay dozens of gold coins every day when you open your eyes. That kind of life is like living in hell.
Especially those you treat as brothers.
You cannot exploit them like ordinary sailors regardless of their friendship. In turn, they will continue to complain about your attitude and your efforts, which is a disaster. When Reginald waved his hand, hundreds of black people stood up. It was pretty awesome. Looking at him now, you can tell that he has suffered enough.
"How's it going? Have you found the treasure left by Captain Lu? You must be here to show off your wealth to me today, right?"
August didn't hesitate to stab their wounds a few more times. To be honest, after hanging out with Lu Yuan for a few months, August was no longer the simple and silly roe deer-type captain. He was extremely sinister.
As a result, these words hit Reginald's face and floated away as gently as a gust of wind, without causing any reaction.
All he saw was Reginald nodded sincerely, admitting his failure without hesitation.
"Yes, I was too stupid before. Obviously, I made the stupidest choice and then lost all my money." His direct admission surprised August. "There was no shipwreck, no treasure... We spent all the money after that. Everyone said to me, Ray, this was all your idea... No one cared, this was what everyone agreed to do in the first place, this shit It’s not my business alone!”
The ship was dragged underwater by the big octopus for an hour, and then Lu Yuan directly pierced the bottom of the ship, and sank directly to the bottom of the sea after the big octopus died. God knows where the sunken ship will lie. I'm afraid even Lu Yuan himself won't be able to find it. Besides, he would never expect anyone to disturb Jacques's sleep.
August suppressed his smile and looked seriously at the black man in front of him, one of Lu Yuan's former quasi-adjutants. Reginald has a typical African appearance, with dark skin, curly hair, honest eyes, thick lips... At first glance, he looks loyal and honest. I believe that Lu Yuan was able to accept him in the first place because of his appearance.
But black people are probably the most disloyal sailors in the Caribbean. As crew members, they were always taciturn and hard-working. But as long as there are slightly better conditions, they will betray and betray without hesitation. Because there is no sense of honor that binds them, they think in their hearts that they belong only to themselves.
The same was true for Reginald, so August had no interest in what he said.
"so?"
"So, we want you to be the captain." Reginald said sincerely, "We provide the ship and crew, everything is at your discretion, and the dividends are distributed according to tradition." The so-called traditional means that investors After taking the big head, the captain takes the remaining big head, this is the way of distribution. There is no doubt that this is quite reasonable, and all three of you here will get rich.
