The Witcher: Son of the Planes

It's another new day, the sky is clear, ha, a little cloudy. Colin started the day's work of cleaning the deck. The deck was originally cleaned very clean yesterday, but after this battle, he could handle all kinds of blood stains and stains.

"It's hard work to have one less person. Poor John, does the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? If you persist a little longer, maybe everything will be fine. Hey, I still thought that I would have someone to take care of me when I arrived in the new place, but now there is no chance. This feeling of starting over (starting with a dog, all the equipment depends on explosion? How can I start with nothing?), why do I still have little expectations?" Colin thought while doing it.

Not to mention what Colin thought, the evil Bator patrolled the deck again. Seeing Colin bending down to wipe the deck, he felt more comfortable. He looked around and said, "Everyone worked hard. We won the battle yesterday. I am happy today. I’ll give you an extra meal at noon, with two pieces of dried salted fish and a small glass of malt wine for each person.”

"Thank you, thank you Master Ba Tuo, you are such a kind person." Various praises came from all around.

"Flattery." Colin lowered his head and thought to himself, I haven't even said anything yet, I've asked you to finish all the good things.

Ba Tuo should really be happy. Not to mention escaping death, he also kept most of his money. He originally thought he was going to bleed a lot. This is a sailor and a slave. After calculating the accounts last night, it was not much. Of the 58 sailors, 25 died. Except for the 8 whose relatives could come to them, the other 17 did not need to pay the bounty because they were not locals. As for the slaves, of the 80 men brought on board, 60 died. There are many, these slaves are their own property, and the bounty given to them is not worth their selling price. It is not a loss even if they are compensated. When encountering pirates, it is a good ending.

In yesterday's battle, the main loss was the gold coins given to the Navy Admiral, but they were originally intended to be spent, but they were only transferred from the hands of the pirates to the hands of the Navy.

Soon it was night, and Bato did not break his promise. Each male slave who went out to fight received two pieces of dried salted fish and a small glass of ale. The women and children in the bottom cabin were also temporarily untied from the ropes and had a moment. The freedom allowed me to go up to the deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and stretch my body that had been stiff for the past half month.

"Brother Colin, was Uncle John really beaten to death?" Little Nora asked.

"...Yeah, it was just a little bit close. If the navy had arrived a moment earlier, Jack would have retreated, so he wouldn't have fired that shot. There were a lot of people at that time, and Brother John was still dealing with Jimmy, so he probably didn't even notice him. Shoot at him, but no matter how low-level the knight's attendant is, he probably can't stop the musket." At this point, Colin was also a little depressed. The other slaves didn't feel deeply, but John was partnered with him. It's been half a month. After all, he is a living person, and he always feels a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Colin, don't be sad. Uncle John is a hero and people will remember him." Nora comforted.

The death of her mother made little Nora grow up early, and she seems to be stronger than Colin.

"People? Except for the two of us, it won't be long before even Nabato won't remember Brother John."

"Brother Colin, can you be my brother?" Nora asked.

"Have I not been your brother for a long time?" Colin said, touching little Nora's head.

"That's different. From now on, I have a brother, oh yeah." After saying that, little Nora jumped for joy.

…

Black Skull.

"Damn it, why did the navy come here?" Jack picked up the sword in his hand and slashed hard at the guardrail. The sharp blade cut a missing corner on the guardrail.

"Boss, tell me, who could have leaked the news?" After Armand finished speaking, he glanced at Jimmy.

Jack glanced at Jimmy, who was wiping his knife in the distance, and then at Armand, "Don't doubt your brother, I believe Jimmy won't."

"Boss, people are separated from each other. The other brothers don't know about this operation. Only you, Jimmy and I know that the target was set after the ship was launched. If it wasn't him, who could it be? I definitely can't, boss. , you know, I have been with you since I was 14 years old, and I have always been loyal, there is no way I could have second thoughts." Armand continued.

Jack put the sword back into its scabbard, walked back and forth and said, "Anyway, I don't believe it's Jimmy. Let's not talk about it again. We'll find another chance next time. If you can't catch Bator's tail, you can." Either Otto or Mito, opportunities will always arise. Don’t forget, who is the pirate of Rio?”

Jack listened to Armand's words, but Jack knew in his heart that although Armand had been with him earlier than Jimmy, he was not necessarily more loyal than Jimmy. He didn't know that he had saved Jimmy's family, and he knew that he was Pirates, Jimmy's father still sent Jimmy on the ship. Before leaving, he told Jimmy, "You must follow Sir Jack well and don't let anyone hurt you. Even if you die, you must protect Mr. Jack." After thinking about it, Jack said again Looked at Jimmy.

Seeing the look in Jack's eyes, Jimmy happily waved the knife in his hand and greeted Jack, who also smiled slightly.

Seeing the interaction between Jack and Jimmy, Armand said nothing more. It felt like it was not the right time yet, but the thoughts in his heart became more obscure.

…

Emerald collar.

"Gandalf, hasn't Bator's ship arrived yet? Counting the time, it's almost time to arrive, right?" Emerald Lord Richard August asked.

"Sir, it is indeed time to arrive, but maybe there is a storm, so I think it will only be a day or two." Gandalf, the butler, replied.

"Add more people to the port, and arrange for the soldiers on the watchtower to strengthen the vigilance. The sea has not been very peaceful recently. We have been here for less than two months. Although the island looks large, there are still many areas that have not been explored. Let the farmers work harder during the day to build the castle wall as soon as possible. Oh, and how is the construction of the slaves' living quarters going?"

"Master, there are too few people, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. There is also a shortage of supplies. Before coming here, I thought this island would have some output, but the areas that have been explored so far are only some trees and stones. The farmers have to open up the land and build the castle, so the progress is not fast enough." Gandalf replied.

"The arrival of this batch of slaves should ease the tight manpower problem. Have you found anything in the forest to the east?"

"Alex has led the cavalry to explore. The only things they sent back were some wild animal corpses. They will probably return in a few days."

"Well, time is a bit tight. The wooden fence is still not safe. The guards on duty at night should strengthen their vigilance. Not only the east, but other directions are also unknown areas for us. We haven't explored enough areas to develop." Richard August ordered.

"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away." The captain of the guard, Matthew, replied.

...

The sea always looks so boundless, neither more nor less. After less than twenty days at sea, Colin got a little bored. He held a small wooden stick in his mouth and wasted his time. Seeing that the color of the sea water had turned light blue, he thought it was almost time.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." This is the sound of seabirds.

"Puff." After spitting out the small wooden stick in his mouth, Colin looked at the coastline in the distance. It was such a big island that he couldn't find the edge in his sight.

…

The waves gently hit the bow and side of the ship. The main sail had been lowered. The ship slowly moved forward and docked steadily at the pier. The sailors began to lower the anchor along the cableway.

We have arrived at Emerald Island!
