Zhang Heng stood outside the door, quietly watching the black carriage disappear into the night again.
Then the door behind him was secretly opened a crack.
"Didn't I tell you to go to bed?" Zhang Heng knew who it was without turning around.
The red-haired girl was very upright, "When I think of you going out mysteriously in the middle of the night without telling us, I am so curious that I can't sleep."
"If you have the time to pry into my privacy, why not think about how to recruit enough people? We will go to sea in two months. I will find a way to get a sloop, but it will take at least ten people to operate it, especially He’s a gunner, do you have any candidates for this role?”
"No."
"…………"
"When I make friends, I only care about loyalty and good fights. I never ask about my origins!" Annie puffed up her chest and said proudly, but she lost her temper when she saw Zhang Heng's eyes and added, "I'll go tomorrow Ask, just ask.”
After a moment of pause, the red-haired girl took out a small dagger from behind, revealing a hint of coyness for the first time. This was the first time Zhang Heng saw a similar expression on Annie's face. She was usually more heroic than men. Zhang Heng Heng had seen her walking around the house in her underwear more than once, sometimes carrying a wine bottle and squinting at people who walked in. She was very social, but it was rare to see her like this now.
"Um...thank you for letting me on the ship and helping me find a job. I see that the dagger on your body has a chip. I won it from a fight two days ago. I don't have any use for it, so... I just gave it to you. Just defend yourself." The red-haired girl stumbled.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just took the dagger and touched the girl's messy red hair with his other hand.
…………
Although Orff and others wanted to go to sea as soon as possible, the hull of the Sea Lion was severely damaged after several battles and had to be fully repaired. Even if the best carpenters on the island were assembled, the job would continue. It lasted half a month, and Zhang Heng behaved very quietly during this half month.
He basically stayed at his residence and did not leave much. He also cultivated a small field behind the door and planted vegetables. He had done this kind of thing on a desert island before, so he was very skilled at it.
Of course, Zhang Heng would not believe everything Fraser said. Although the old pirate acted very sincerely that night, Zhang Heng knew that this just meant that he couldn't hold himself back. This was the first time that the latter took the initiative to visit him after so long on the island. , if it was just to express goodwill, there was no need for him to go there by himself.
Old foxes like Fraser and Orff are born leaders with an innate charm. They are good at using the general trend to achieve their goals unknowingly. Even when they manipulate people's hearts, they can You believe they are doing your best, but if you really believe what they say, you will end up being deceived all over again.
If Kidd's Treasure is really a game designed by Orff, then the addition of Fraser will undoubtedly make the game more dangerous.
The best way now is to remain unchanged, so Zhang Heng did not go to the carpenter named Kent after receiving the warning, but he did make some preparations in private.
A man wearing a wig and a lace scarf tied around his neck walked in from the door.
His name was Barr, and he was a well-known arms dealer on Nassau Island. He placed two things, one long and one short, wrapped in oilcloth on the table. Then he took the tea handed over by Malvin, crossed his legs and said, "You Let’s inspect the goods you want.”
Zhang Heng opened the long oilcloth, and inside was a musket. Today's Europe is dominated by muskets, but in fact, in the 15th century, rifled guns were already born, but they were far less popular than muskets. The reason It's because loading bullets is too troublesome. Basically, it takes three shots with a smoothbore gun to fire one shot with a rifled gun, and people with small arms may not even be able to stuff bullets into the muzzle.
However, rifled guns also have the advantages of rifled guns. Its effective range and shooting accuracy are far superior to smoothbore guns.
Zhang Heng has always wanted to buy a spare one. At critical moments, it might be able to play an unexpected role in conjunction with his lv2 shooting skills.
In addition, Barr also brought three short muskets this time, plus the one Zhang Heng originally had, so he has four short muskets on his body, which means that he can carry out four consecutive rounds. shots.
There was no other way. In this era where a gun could only fire one bullet, Zhang Heng could only use this method to enhance his firepower.
He wore a black coat and put two short muskets on his waist and two others in holsters on his chest.
Annie curled her lips, but in the end she had to admit, "Humph, it looks pretty good, but I don't know how it will be in combat."
Zhang Heng ignored the eager red-haired girl and paid the weapons merchant 140 silver coins according to the agreed price.
Barr weighed his money bag and said with satisfaction, "You can continue to come to me if you need it."
What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that he would hear the system prompt after completing the transaction.
[If you hold more than three firearms, you will get +3 game points. You can go to the character panel to view relevant information...]
Zhang Heng still has his usual game attitude and has not deliberately brushed off achievements. So far he has gained a total of seventeen points since entering this world. In addition to the three points just obtained, eight of them are related to plunder, and six points are related to sailing mileage.
Calculating at this speed, he can easily get more than 200 points by the end of this round of dungeons. This number is a bit scary, but Zhang Heng knows that this calculation is actually not accurate. Things like achievements are generally easier to get in the early stages than in the later stages. , but what is certain is that because the time has been stretched too much, he should have a lot more points than ordinary players this time. Of course, the price is that he will have to stay in this world for a long time.
This town called Nassau may also become a part of his body.
On the third day after Zhang Heng received the weapon, the Sea Lion finally completed its overhaul and raised its sails again amidst cheers.
Orff stood on the bow of the ship and began his routine speech before each departure from the port, "There should be no one on this ship who doesn't know the destination of our trip, so I don't think I need to repeat this matter again."
The pirates burst into laughter after hearing this, but then the helmsman changed the subject, "We have recruited a lot of new people this time. It is better to explain some things clearly. We don't care about your past or what you have committed." Wrong, but since you have boarded this ship, you are a member of this ship and you must abide by our rules. Especially at such a special moment, we need everyone to unite as one and pool their strength together. Only Only in this way can we overcome the difficulties at hand. During this process, if anyone wants to play any tricks or do any tricks behind others' backs, then he is the enemy of this ship, and we will treat our enemies mercilessly."
Orf paused and continued, "Not long ago, I just got the news that there was a traitor among us. In consideration of the fact that we once fought side by side, I am willing to give him a chance to stand up on his own. Confess everything and accept everyone's trial, otherwise, I can't guarantee that something bad will happen to him."
