Black sail

Chapter 26 XXVI. Settlement Expenses

The expressions of the sailors in the dark corridor were all uneasy. Someone died on the second day after boarding the ship. This was not a good sign.

Micah pushed through everyone and came closer, and touched the skin of the corpse. It was completely cold and rigor mortis appeared. He had not yet gone to sea and was not on shift. He died in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep.

"I found this."

A sailor picked up a piece of paper from the ground, which was pressed by two empty wine bottles, both of which were drunk, and he removed the bottles and pulled it out.

"give it to me."

Micah ordered, and the sailor came quickly.

Mika glanced over quickly, really not knowing what expression to put on.

At this time, Li Site, Fen, and Oaks also rushed over. They all looked at the corpse hanging on the lintel of the passage with ugly expressions.

Many people died on board, but not many died during the berth, and one more person died today.

Li Si Te was about to ask for details.

"For you."

Micah handed the paper to Li Site.

Li Si Te was bewildered, took the paper and read it, but fortunately, this person was not educated, and there were no uncommon words on it.

[Respectfully, Captain Black Sail:
I know that you are a benevolent person who distributed the property of the lord of Lanwan Harbor to the local townspeople.

This head of mine is worth eight gold dragons. Please cut it off, take it to the Legal Affairs Office, exchange it for money, and send it to Antilicia in Maple Leaf Town in the north of the Principality of Bema.

The great kindness will be repaid in the next life. 】

The content is very brief, there is no signature, and I don’t know who Antilicia is, but it should be a woman’s name.

Li Site had a severe headache, so he said that doing good deeds would lead to retribution. If he had known that he would not be divided, was that what I wanted to divide?It was left to the people in the town. The admiral led the troops and had reason to take the lord's money from the people. After transferring it once, it was equivalent to making money, rather than robbing it from the lord's house. If he didn't disperse, he would not be poor to himself. Chasing and fighting?The common people can keep some amount in their hands, earn a small amount for themselves, and a large amount for the admirals, and do business with each other. Only by being friendly can you make money.

"Fuck, I really know how to choose a place. The people are nice, and I have to exchange my life for money."

Li Si Te lit a cigarette and smoked, not knowing what this blockman was thinking.

Micah said: "This man came to me for treatment on his leg last night, but the wound was completely necrotic and had to be amputated. He probably thought that even if he survived, he would be a cripple, so he committed suicide."

Micah couldn't help but think of the prostitute's husband that day. In this world, he was short of arms and legs. If no one took care of him, it would be the same as being sentenced to death.

"So now the case has been closed and this person committed suicide."

Fern was extremely indifferent. He glanced at the sailors around him. Fortunately, it was not a big deal, and there were not many negative effects.

Li Site ordered to go down and pass the paper to each sailor, asking them to clarify what was going on and not to make random suspicions.

After all the sailors had finished watching.

The big man with a bald head and a skull tattoo was particularly positive, "What a man, he's quite a man! Captain! I'll help him cut off his head."

After saying that, the tattooed man picked up the machete and walked towards the body.

"Stop, what are you messing with?"

Li Si Te stopped this stupefied young man, what a waste of help, isn't this causing trouble?Presumably Killer Liwei was also established yesterday. He likes to treat new people the most. Next, he should consider the matter of subjective initiative. Good work will be rewarded, life will have hope, and life will be auspicious.

The tattooed man was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Look at my pig head. Aren't our pirates throwing themselves into a trap when we go to the Justice Department? We might as well throw them into the sea."

Li Site's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to kill someone. This person is active, but he is short-sighted.

"You should rest." Li Site took back the man's suicide note, folded it carefully and put it in the inner layer of his clothes, "Although he only stayed on the black sail for one day, since he can trust me, he is willing to pay for his life." Leave it to me, that can be regarded as the person of Black Sail. As the saying goes, it is safe to put it in the ground. Take this buddy up to the mountain, find a higher position, and bury it in a place with better scenery. The settlement fee of eight golden dragons, I'll give it to him."

Li Si Te was smoking a cigarette, only this is the best solution, and this buddy is indeed a man, but he doesn't know if the woman named Antilicia is worth it.

A large group of sailors in the aisle also sighed. All the powerful forces in the underground world of the Western Continent have a settlement fee. This is a completely lawless area on the sea. It shouldn’t be like this. No pirate ship has such a rule. Li Si Especially people who are really benevolent and righteous.

Fen knew that Li Site was trying to buy people's hearts. It was worthwhile to exchange eight golden dragons for a certain degree of sincerity. It at least showed one thing. As long as he died a worthy death and was willing to devote himself to his career, he would also make arrangements for his funeral. Even if you do your best.

Oaks has a poker face for thousands of years, the Principality of Beima is now full of bandits, the court is weak, and the nobles have ugly faces, and they are infinitely close to the brink of collapse, and they are only close to the door.

The boatswain, Ryan, came late at this time and asked about the situation.

"It's really unlucky, you guys took this buddy to bury it, don't be perfunctory, it's better to make it look good and make it look better. Let chef Archer kill a few sheep at noon today. His old man used to be a court cook. Craftsmanship ranks first in the Western Continent, and a good meal is full of joy, auspicious and auspicious. Don't cry and mourn, this buddy is killing himself, and it belongs to joy and mourning at sea. Okay, they are all scattered, and they all go to wipe the deck for me. , I’ll check it before lunch, if there’s a little bit of dust or oil stains, don’t even think about eating the mutton.”

Ren yelled that he had to finish the matter quickly, and it happened that a few sous chefs were recruited yesterday, so Archer could start cooking.

Li Si Te was speechless, you still know how to play it, joy and sorrow are coming.

A group of sailors' eyes widened when they heard about the slaughter of sheep. They were still palace chefs. This was such a proper aristocratic treatment. They were really happy and sad.

This group of people were so excited that they kept shouting "Awesome", thanks to this man, and walked to the deck with their mouths open from ear to ear.

A few people headed by the tattooed man also untied the hemp rope on the lintel of the passageway, put the deceased down, and found a stretcher plank from the Datong shop.

"Be careful, don't knock this master down, this is the only condition on the boat, let's try our best to make him look good."

The big man with tattoos walked in front and carried it the hardest, and together they moved it to the mountain above Secret Harbor and buried it.

10 minute later.

The navigation room at the end of the bow and stern lines, and the chess and card activity room for adults in black sails.

Archer and the new sous-chef, Dunzi, were working on lunch, while Wren and Morrison were outside to oversee the work.

The rest of the people had gloomy expressions.

Although Wollman has a degree in secondary history, the cultural legacy of the swamp is not easy to eliminate, and he is relatively the most superstitious person on the ship.

"It's unlucky to die before going to sea." Wollman hesitated for a moment, he hated all nobles, and added: "Maybe it's an ominous sign, we should quickly grab some sailors who can do things, and go to sea as soon as possible. Forget about the so-called big work, now the money on the ship can be happy for a long time, and the big guys in Paradise Harbor can’t get the privateering license, so I think it’s still going to take a long time.”

Oakes vetoed: "Everything can be perfunctory, but the sailors on the ship can't, even if they are just scumbags, if there is an encounter at sea, those who control the sails will not control the sails, and those who fire the guns will not fire. The old, weak, sick and disabled will be frightened directly. We're going to sink with the ship."

Swann was far more ambitious than Wollman, and he could be regarded as Fen's mouthpiece. He said: "The things I stole are on the ship. Now we have more capital than the big guys in Tianguo Port. What kind of pirate overlord is just a blockbuster?" On to bigger things.”

Everyone was shocked by Swann's words. The snitch was usually relatively silent, but when he spoke he was explosive. He was determined to get this job, and he was extremely ambitious.

Li Site was also a little hesitant. Although he was a materialist warrior, he was really unlucky this time. Besides, he still didn't know what the big job of the Duke was.

At this time, Heywood pushed open the door, looked at the gloomy faces of all the people present, and said heartily: "The surprise came, the earl gave a gift, and he said it was to reward us and let the brothers improve their lives. Yes, I don’t know what it’s pretending to be.”

Xia Di slapped his forehead, and Renn really hit the spot. How could he wait for five days? Now that someone has come, it is really a big job. Are they going to assassinate Emperor Alan, or what?
