Pirate System

Chapter 339 Write an IOU

The air in the cell is full of stench, but Sikameng is used to it. He stares at the wall with empty eyes and doesn't move. There are no books, no musical instruments, no chess and cards, and no women. There is nothing he can do. of. A few days ago, he tried to have fun by training bugs, but then he couldn't help but eat the little friend - the taste was not bad.

In this cell, it is not impossible to improve, but the price to pay is too great. A sausage costs 5,000 gold coins, and a good room costs 20,000 gold coins. The latter is still time-limited, and can only stay for three days, after which he has to be driven back to this wet and foul-smelling cell.

Thinking of this, Sikamen G should have scolded a few words, but the swear words he knew had already been used up in these nine months. Now scolding, in addition to humiliating himself, he can not get any psychological comfort.

The sound of footsteps came, and based on the speed of the steps and the weight of the footsteps, Sikameng could determine which jailer the person was. There were two guards, one named Rhodes, with a thick voice, the other named Crowmouth, this is not his real name, but others call him that.

Behind the iron fence, two ugly shadows were cast.

"Eat."

A plate was pushed in through the gap under the iron bars, with three slices of soft bread on it, two grilled onions, and even a salted fish beside it.

If it was this kind of food every day, Sikameng wouldn't have to eat any bugs. In the past, all he ate every day was stinky and hard bread, even sour food.

Only in these five days, the meals at each meal have greatly improved.

There must be some conspiracy in it, Sikamang didn't want to fall for it, but today his curiosity reached the limit. Prison life is monotonous and empty. As long as there is one thing you can't let go of, you will think about it thousands of times every day, causing a small problem to be infinitely magnified.

"Why did my food get better these days?"

"How can there be so many problems, eat your dog food obediently." Rhode kicked the iron bar violently, causing the entire cell to tremble.

Sikameng once imagined that Rhodes could one day kick the cell to pieces, but after measuring the thickness of the iron pillar, he dismissed this idea. Now it seems that even if the iron bars fall, Sikameng can't escape, and he can't even beat a pirate.

"Tell me about it. Please." There was a satisfying cry in Brother Gongzi's voice.

Crowmouth is obviously better at enjoying life than Rhodes.

"Let's play a game. Guess why you need to improve your food, and if you guess right, I'll give you a more detailed answer."

Sikaman g has no choice.

"You want to execute me, so be merciful and let me eat a few good meals before dying."

"Hehe, we are reluctant to kill you, the 'God of Money'. Besides, there is only one meal for beheading. There is no one like you who can eat for several days in a row."

"Then you want to bribe me in this way and get more money from me?"

"If you want to get money out of you, I think it's better to do it in an abusive way."

Sikaman lowered his head, thought more deeply, and guessed: "Could it be that there is a big happy event on the island?"

"It's amazing, as expected of a businessman, you've guessed it the third time." Crowzui squatted down and said with a big smile, "Our head of the regiment got married five days ago, and he married four in one breath. Bride. He told us that he would go to the Greenland Empire after marriage, and he would take you with him, so he gave you a few good meals before leaving to make you fatter. Life at sea is no better than land, But it's very hard work. With your current body and bones, you may not be able to bear it."

"Are you going to let me go back?" Sikameng jumped up from the ground like a resurrection, grabbing two iron bars, "Is this news accurate? When will we set sail?"

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful, as the person involved, I still don't know the news." Crow's mouth smacked.

"answer me quickly"

"Stop yelling there." Rhodes was greatly displeased with Sikameng's attitude, and kicked the iron bar again.

Sikameng shrank back in fright and murmured, "Please, tell me."

Crowmouth took the angry Rodra behind him, and continued: "Although you wrote us a stack of debt notes, if you don't send you back to the Greenland Empire, what's the difference between these debt papers and waste paper? You Don't worry, it will be a matter of time to send you back to China. Judging from the recent rumors, Captain Tang Ke will set sail within a few days. How about it, I am very happy to hear this news? "

"Happy." Sikameng was actually a mixed blessing. It was a good thing to be able to go back, but he also had to pay a corresponding price.

"The days of bullying you made me feel very happy. I hope we can meet again." Crowzui smiled and waved his hand, pulling Rhodes away. Before Rhodes left, he glared fiercely into the cell.

Sikameng wilted like a deflated balloon, reached out to pick up the plate, grabbed the bread and chewed it. He stared blankly at the hay on the ground, his thoughts were just as bad as these hay. He was happy to see the sun again, and resentful for the happiness of his enemies.

The two jailers walked away, dragging the nightmarish shadow away, but their conversation could still be heard clearly.

"Rod, which one do you think is the prettiest wife married to the head of the regiment?" Crowmouth asked.

"Of course it's Captain Wendy."

"Are you kidding? Captain Wendy has a scar on her face, so she wears a veil all day. It is said that the scar is not small and it is ugly."

"I like her figure," Rhode explained faithfully.

"Brother, you are off topic. I asked about appearance."

"For me, looks and body are the same thing, and they are the things that attract me anyway."

"Well then. At least you gave an accurate answer. But if I say it, Elizabeth is prettier."

"Well, she looks like an angel."

"Among the women I've ever seen, Elizabeth is in the top ten, and I think mermaids are no more than that."

Hearing this, Sikameng was shaking violently, and the bread in his hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly spat out the bread he hadn't swallowed, lay down on the iron bars, and roared, "Which Elizabeth did Tangke marry? Is it a businesswoman from the Greenland Empire?"

He shouted the same question over and over again, and soon attracted the two guards who didn't get far. Rhode was really angry this time. He took off the key from his waist, opened the cell door, and shouted to clean up Sikamen. Crow's Mouth hurriedly stopped Rhodes, because he couldn't make a deal after breaking Sikameng.

"You're right, it's that Elizabeth, she's from the same country as you. The head of the caravan rescued her when he attacked the clover caravan." Having said this, Crow Mouth suddenly realized, "By the way, you The head of that caravan must know Elizabeth, right? Could it be that... you and her were once friends?"

This time, even the relatively rigid Rhodes noticed the fun, no longer angry, and turned to look at Sikameng's reaction.

"It's really her...it's really her...she's married...and she's married to Tangke..." Sikameng grabbed his heart, as if to crush it, he staggered back, His expression was dazed.

"You had a relationship with Elizabeth? If you tell me the truth, I'll get you a bottle of wine, how about that?" Crowmouth showed great interest in this matter.

Sikameng leaned against the wall, buried himself in the shadows, and said in a dreamy voice: "I like her very much, and I have been pursuing her, but she has never accepted my love, and she is deliberately alienating me. Really. Unexpectedly, she ended up marrying a pirate."

"It turned out to be just your unrequited love." Crowmouth's bad taste could not be satisfied, and he was slightly disappointed, "She didn't choose you, so how can you compare with our regiment leader? You are only worthy of being our regiment leader's prisoner. , at our mercy."

Xicameng raised his head, looked coldly at the two **** outside the iron fence, and asked, "I'm not as good as Tangke? I'm not as good as Tangke? No matter how strong Tangke is, he's just a pirate, a pirate who kills without blinking. Elizabeth chooses He, if he chooses sin, she will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of her life, and she will regret it in the future. What if I am a prisoner now? Do you dare to kill me? You still have to send me back like a dog, in exchange for our family's money, Elizabeth sooner or later Will go to the gallows with Donk, she will go to **** with her. And me? At that time, I would lie on the beach in the sun, drink the most expensive wine in the world, and hug the most beautiful girl in the world. I was the last the winner"

Crow Mouth and Rhodes were so angry that they said this, especially Rhodes, who blushed and the knuckles on his fists rattled.

"The two of you are the same. Sooner or later, you will have to hang on the gallows. When you are punished by the justice of the empire, you will think of what I said today, and then feel extremely regretful, and go to **** with this regret" Sikamen g Angered into anger, he shouted without hesitation.

"**, watch me break your teeth." Rhode spat two mouthfuls of saliva on his calloused hands, ready to open the iron bars. This time the crow's mouth no longer blocked.

"You stupid pig with only a handful of strength, besides hitting people, what else can you do?" Sikameng gave up today, more imposing than any other day in these eight months.

Just when Rhodes just put the key into the keyhole.

"Don't be rough with my distinguished guests."

The voice was not from the two jailers, nor from Sikameng.

"Captain?" The two jailers were stunned and looked to the other side of the passage.

Xikameng was also stunned, stopped screaming, his heart trembled inexplicably, the two jailers couldn't frighten him, but he was trembling because he was about to see Tangke.

Only the devil can conquer the herd.

The devil is coming, and every step is steady and rhythmic.

"Sikameng, your prison life is coming to an end, I will go to sea tomorrow and send you back to the Greenland Empire. You have signed many IOUs before, which is a testimony of our friendship. But too many IOUs will be very troublesome, we Let's make some statistics and cover it with only one IOU." Tangke's voice was filled with obvious joy, and he walked proudly to the door of the cell, looking at the poor **** in the cell who described it as withered.

pitful.

This is the most appropriate adjective for this former son-in-law.

Although he had only met him once, in Tangke's impression, Cikameng was a fair and clean young man who was quite handsome. But the current Sikamen G is so thin that only skin and bones are left, and although his face is a little whiter, it is because there is no blood.

"Open the cell door, let him out, and take him to take a shower."

The two guards immediately followed suit, one left and one right, pushing Sikamen g out of the cell door. Sikameng, who had been shouting loudly just now, was silent now.

Tangke and Sikameng looked at each other deeply, and in each other's eyes, he saw at least two emotions of fear and resentment. He chuckled lightly and walked out first. On the way, Sikameng asked a few questions, and also dared to shout a few words. But Tangke turned a deaf ear to this, and he didn't want to talk about business in such a place.

Half an hour later, in a room with bright windows.

Tangke looked up and down a few times, Sikamen looked much better, the stench on his body disappeared, replaced by a strong smell of spices.

"You can refuse to pick the wine on the wine rack."

Sikameng's face was tense, and his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He snorted coldly: "I'm not interested in drinking with the enemy."

"Enemy? No, we won't be an enemy any time soon." Tangke lifted his collar deliberately, "The person standing in front of you is about to become a Viscount of the Greenland Empire and has a unique fief."

"This is impossible"

"Why not?"

"You're a pirate and you've been involved in such a big heist"

"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. I have become a first-class powerhouse, and there are several magic ships in the pirate group. No one dares to despise this strength. The Greenland Empire has taken a fancy to my pirate group. , promise to make us royal pirates. This deal is good for both parties." Tangke sat down, with a stack of documents on the table in front of him, "Since you don't want to drink, let's just talk about it."

Sikameng walked up to the chair like a zombie and sat down firmly.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact, and I don't need to lie to you. The reason why I tell you this is to tell you that I have become friends with Greenland, and you don't need to think about making the Greenland Empire trouble me. The war is imminent. Compared with a merchant family, it is more useful to have a group of pirates who can fight and kill. But it is precisely because of this relationship that you have saved a lot of money."

Tangke stared at the change on Sikameng's face.

"In good faith, Greenland and I both made certain concessions. Greenland absolved me of the crime, issued a protection agreement to me, and I also explained about you and promised to waive part of the ransom. You only need to give me With the items and money on this list, you can officially return to China."

Tangke pushed a piece of paper over, with a few lines of black characters listed on it, mentioning 300,000 gold coins, a gold skeleton coin, two other treasures, some shipbuilding materials, as well as a number of other common ships. Boat. This IOU is valid and protected by law as long as Sikaman G signs it.

Sikameng picked it up tremblingly, and he said dejectedly: "It is indeed much less than the ransom we agreed before."

"Not many, but very many. Have you ever seen such a kind pirate as me?" Tangke asked with a smile.

"Benevolence? The value of a single treading knight is more than one million gold coins" Sikameng's subtext is "you are so shameless"

Tangke avoided the spittle Xingzi from Sikameng and said coldly, "This is the last time. If you dare to yell at me again, I will let you die."

"Haha, you dare to kill me? You still expect me to exchange for ransom"

"You think I'll take that ransom into consideration? As long as I'm willing, I have many ways to get this money." Tangke's eyes gradually turned cold. He heard the conversation in the cell and knew that Sikaman G had pursued Elizabeth, and because of this, he didn't like Sikaman G.

Xikameng was frightened by the sight, and shrank his neck and said, "Sorry, I was too jittery just now."

Tang Ke's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, sign it quickly. I have nothing to tell you, as long as you sign, we will all be happy."

With a bitter face, Sikamen picked up the pen on the table and quickly drew a few strokes. He pushed the paper back and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask you one thing, did you force Elizabeth to marry you?"

"No, she is willing." Tangke checked it, was satisfied, and flicked the white paper.

"It's impossible. How could she fall in love with pirates? Although I don't know much about her, she told me that she hates pirates."

"I'm too lazy to explain to you, and I'm not obliged to explain it to you." Tangke stood up, "Let's go. I'll arrange a good room for you for the last night on the island, and yes."

"I want to see her, let me see her, I have to ask her why"

"Your volume is over the limit." Tangke raised his hand and held the sword hilt at his waist.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Sikamang's words suddenly turned into whispers, "I will never be reconciled if I don't talk to her."

"It's better if you're not willing. My happiness is built on your pain." Tangke didn't want to entangle with him anymore, raised his hand and squeezed his shoulder blade~www.readwn.com~ with a little force , let Sikameng burst into tears. Tangke took Xikameng out of the room and handed it over to the men at the door for placement.

Five days have passed since the wedding. In these five days, in addition to being tired with his wives, Tangke also chatted with his father-in-law several times.

Wallace has completely accepted his daughter's marriage to a pirate, and promised to help Tangke run the tobacco business. This old businessman is very strong in business and has some connections.

Kylo took Garvey from the island, along with an ear. Kylo promised to let Garvey stay in Mí Gonghe for a while, and One Ear could take the opportunity to learn the rest of the knowledge.

The date agreed with Emily Sanjie is about to come, Tangke went to the Greenland Empire this time, one is to be sealed, and the other is to return Sikameng. During this trip, he only intends to take away two ships, the Cang Yan and the Black Pearl. In terms of staffing, he'll take D'Addarian's follow-up wizard Erwin.

Without Dadarian, the combat power of Dragon Nest Island will decline a lot, so both Dragon Eagle and Blast Gallop have to stay to make up for the lack of combat power.

Everything was ready, and the next morning, two pirate ships set off against the rising sun and sailed to the Greenland Empire.
