Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 326 35. Reasonable Black - [4040]

   (additional update for the prisoner brother on the throne [15/15])

   In the sea area north of Broken Beach, in the captain's room of the Alpaca, Nat Pagle, wearing a straight tuxedo, was combing his good friend Hal's hair with a smile.

   This fisherman from Southsea Town clumsily grasped the gem comb, which was a loot from the looting of the chief arcanist manor in Suramar City.

   took a handful of scented oil from the small box next to it and lightly applied it to Hal's hair.

  This grease was a kind gift from Quartermaster Eudora.

   is said to be the top-grade oil that fox people use to maintain and organize their hair on a daily basis, and it is very easy to use for grooming.

  Hall also has an exaggerated full-length mirror in front of him. The edge of the round mirror is dotted with fine crystals. I don’t know what technique was used to make it. The smooth mirror can reflect a clear figure.

   He sat stiffly on the black velvet high-backed chair.

   He looked at himself in the mirror.

   Washed his fair face, wore the best linen shirt, a dress vest, and a red bow tie that was not yet tied on the collar. The lower body is cut and joined black trousers, and the leather shoes of good quality are also worn on him.

   On the hanger next to it, there is also a Gilneas-style coat with beautiful embroidery of golden silk threads, and several medal-like trinkets.

   Top hats are also ready.

   This outfit was given to Hal by Captain Black as a "wedding gift". It was sent by the little Warlock Kanrisad just now, and the latter is still in the room, watching Hal arranging his image with a curious expression.

  's good friend Nat behind him is combing his hair.

   He seemed to plan to comb his hair into a shiny, shiny back. When the two young men were still hanging out in Nanhai Town, they had seen a certain young master of the Barov family dressed like this.

   At that time, Hal, who was still a little diaosi, boasted that he would definitely get the same clothes in the future.

   Now a dream come true.

   The suit given to him by Captain Black is absolutely expensive, definitely not something a young fisherman in a small town can afford.

  The realization of this little dream is too abrupt, just as abruptly as the realization of Hal's "big dream".

  He is getting married.

  The bride is an elf.

  My God.

  The folks in Nanhai Town will not believe this story.

   Even Hal himself doesn't quite believe it. He felt as if he was still in a dream, and since last night until now, he has maintained this dazed and dazed state.

   "What are you doing with a bitter face? Come and smile, today is your big day!"

  Nate noticed something unusual about his best friend.

   He put down the gemstone comb, patted Hal's stiff shoulder with a weird expression, and said:

   "What's the matter? Dude, you don't seem to be in high spirits. Did something happen?"

   "Nothing, just too sudden."

  Hal glanced at his handsome and spirited self in the mirror, he felt like someone else, the uneasy fisherman raised his head, looked at his good friend, and said:

   "I was just joking, Nat, you know me, I've been saying it all the time, but I've never really had the luxury of having an elf wife.

   I was very happy at first.

   But I just discovered a problem a few days ago, I couldn't even understand what she said.

   Then I suddenly realized that she and I were actually just strangers. "

"what do you want to say in the end?"

   Hearing the topsy-turvy description of his good friend, Nat raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Hal's shoulder, and said:

   "What the **** are you worried about? Ms. Villeneuve is willing to marry you. I was there that day. Mr. Black asked in Elvish, and she said she would."

   "She was forced."

  Hal bowed his head and said somewhat ashamedly:

   "Lord Black didn't give her the right to say no, Nat, I'm so guilty right now, I thought I'd be happy, but actually, I'm in a bad mood right now.

   I felt like I became the bad guy in those stories too. "

   "Don't think like that, Hal, you're not a bad guy."

  Nate said to his good friend:

   "You are brave, you rescued Villeneuve from the Dryad, and you are protecting her these days. She is very close to you, and little Connie likes you very much.

  You will be a good husband and a good father. "

"but I."

Before    Howl could finish his words, the door of the captain's room was pushed open.

  Blake wearing a pirate king suit with a bottle of wine in his hand, walked in beaming, laughed and said:

   "Yo, look at our groom, what a handsome lad, how's it going? Are you ready to meet your bride? Everyone's waiting, Hal.

  Sefir was supposed to officiate the wedding, but she hates the sun now, so I have no choice but to ask Ms. Natalie to witness your marriage, and Eudora and her fox have built a champagne tower for you.

   Sailing at sea is too boring, everyone is looking forward to a carnival, and I also want to do something happy to make me feel good.

  The Orcs are ready to start the 'Championship Tournament' to add some excitement to your wedding. Uh, what's going on? Why do you lose your face? Is this regret? "

   The drunk Blake tilted his head and looked at Hal's expression. With a hint of relief, he comforted:

   "Oh, I know, you are a young man married to an elf widow with a child, and you are wronged. But it is not impossible now.

  Otherwise, I'll give you another one!

   There is also an annoying Nightborne noble chick on my side, the kind who has never married anyone.

  The family is very big.

  The nobles who have inherited the inheritance for ten thousand years are not very good-tempered. Do you want them?

  I will send it to you right away. "

   "Mr. Black, Hal has something on his mind. He thinks he is a bad guy who persecutes innocent people."

  Nate was quite familiar with Blake, and the two occasionally fished together, which was regarded as a "fishing buddy" relationship. He told Blake what Hal's thoughts were.

   "Huh? What's the matter with you, little brother?"

After listening to the    pirates, he immediately became unhappy. He raised his hands and drank the wine from the bottle. He burped comfortably, grabbed Hal's ears, and raised his face.

   With the smell of alcohol, he said to the young fisherman in front of him:

   "You were the one who shouted that you were going to marry the elf, and now you are the one who regretted it.

  I worked so hard to give you such a big show, you now tell me that you think you are a badass, so you want to set Villeni free?

   You are not stupid, are you?

   Are you trying to make my commander look pale in front of the entire fleet? You know what happened to the last guy who made such a joke with me?

  Evil Eye will gladly tell you. "

  Hal did not speak.

   Nate, who was watching, was very anxious. He wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by Black waving.

  The alcoholic pirate pushed Hal back to the chair, but instead of drawing out his knife, he took out his dwarf pipe, held it to his mouth, and did not light the shredded tobacco.

   but said slowly:

   "It was I who tricked the two of you into the boat, so I owe you a favor, so I will reason with you about this matter today, Hal.

  Treasure this opportunity, I am rarely a reasonable person.

  You don't have to have any psychological pressure.

  You're just too stupid, you haven't understood Villeneuve's bad situation, and of course you don't understand what this wedding means to that single mother of the Nightborne.

   I will waste some time explaining to you. "

   Black coughed, looked at Hal, and said:

   "Head up! I'm talking to you, you rude **** from Southsea."

  Hal looked up at the pirate in a conditioned reflex, and the latter waved his hand and twitched his cheek, without any force or much pain.

   is just to wake up this young man who has been kidnapped by an illusory sense of morality.

   "There's nothing in this fleet, except for scum! Joe Hale, you've been on the boat for a day or two, you should understand this."

   "Veluni took her daughter and so many children of the night, and she was vulnerable on the ship. Although I allowed her to stay on the Alpaca and help Eudora organize the logistics of the fleet, the kind foxes are also willing to accept her.

   But the other pirates looked at her unfriendly.

   At least I found several guys secretly beating her mind. "

   "But you are the Admiral, Mr. Black."

  Hal covered his face and said loudly:

   "Pirates fear you and obey you.

  You give the order and they won't come to harass Villeni and those kids. I know that although you are fierce, you are not a bad person. You rescued those children.

  There is no need for this wedding, me and Villeneuve.”

   "Stupid!"

  Black interrupted Hal, and he asked quietly:

   "Am I the protector of Villeneuve, or the commander of this fleet? Am I the savior of the elf children, or the leader of the pirates?

  If you were me, between a strange elf who can't bring me any benefits, and a group of incompetent men who can help me do things and help me loot, who would you choose?

   I can't just protect a stranger who just came aboard and doesn't belong to us. This is not the way a pirate behaves, it will make my subordinates think I am weak and unfair.

   Once the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead. "

   This question stunned Hal, and also stunned Nat Pagle next to him and the little warlock Kanrisad, who was hiding and trying to reduce his presence.

   "On that day, when you rescued Villeneuve, she was your trouble, Hal. And now you want me to help you out of trouble, are you so weak?"

  Blake was probably drunk, so he complained disdainfully:

   "You guys, think about problems only from your own perspective, and come to me when something goes wrong. Are you really in awe of me? No, you just want me to help you solve your troubles.

  You are just greedy for my evil wisdom.

  You scumbags! "

  The pirate cursed fiercely, and then said to Hal:

   "According to the rules of the pirates, Villeneuve was rescued by you, she is your 'trophy' and should be disposed of by you, so I leave her to you, what to do with her is your freedom.

  You can enjoy her tonight, or you can put her down in the next town, and you can take time to play love games with her, it's up to you.

   But if you are not on the ship, and you do not clearly declare your "sovereignty" over her in front of the pirates, you are giving up her.

   Those pirates were about to devour her alive immediately. "

   Black sneered, reached out and nodded on Hal's chest, and said:

"Do you understand now?

  If you don't marry her, there is no place for her in the fleet. She can't go back to Suramar City, you are her last support.

   In terms of what will happen to her on the ship after you back down today, you might as well just push her and her daughter into the sea to drown, which is a little more merciful. "

  The room fell silent, except for the noise of the pirates on the deck and the sound of the sea lapping the hull outside.

   A few seconds later, Blake lit his pipe comfortably and exhaled a ring of smoke.

Say:

   "So, I'll ask you one last time, Joe Hale, will you get married today?"

"I"

  Hal covered his cheeks, looked at Blake, who was blowing smoke and couldn't see his face clearly, looked at Nat, and finally looked at the little warlock Canrisad.

   He clenched his fists, and seemed to return to the same posture he used to save people in the ruins of Meridel, and said loudly:

   "I'll take care of them! It's my responsibility, thank you for making this clear to me, Mr. Black. Nat, come and help me sort it out."

"okay."

When   Nate was called by Hal, he immediately picked up the comb and continued to help him comb his hair more handsomely.

   Black hummed and laughed twice, and walked out of the captain's room with a bottle of wine. As a result, he met Miss Annaris Moonshire who was roaming on the boat after only a few steps.

   This elf noble with a temperament of the eldest lady, this will be wandering on the alpaca with a few servants, seeing everything fresh, and trying to grab the foxman's tail, and almost got caught by the foxman's little claws.

   She rubbed her cheeks and walked towards her. The moment she saw the pirates, she rushed up and shouted in Saras:

   "Stinky pirate! Where did you take my sister!"

   "When I was having fun with her, your trashy sister's magic addiction attacked, which seriously disturbed my interest, so I killed it and threw it into the sea."

  Black glanced at her and said casually:

   "Be good and drink more magic wine. If you can't hold back your magic addiction, you will be the next one to die. I just happen to be missing an elf skull wine glass."
