Chapter 161: Spoils of War

Looking at the two corpses, Richard quickly speculated on some information.

"Icicles, the timing is not right.

Judging by the fact that the blood flowing from the wounds of the two people has coagulated, the time of death should have been more than 5 minutes. However, the color of the blood clot is reddish-brown, indicating that the red blood cells have not been destroyed too much, and the time of death may not exceed 20 minutes. And just now the pirates suddenly stepped up their offensive, almost 20 minutes ago.

In summary, it can be determined that the body was killed immediately after the order was given. During this time, the ice pick will partially melt, but it will not evaporate completely, and it should leave a trace. Now that no trace has been found, and the possibility of special spells is not considered, then it can basically be ruled out that icicle killing, and it should be means such as air arrows. ”

"If it's an air arrow, it can cause this kind of damage, but I'm afraid that the degree of air compression and the speed of the air are extremely high. ”

Richard's eyes flickered.

Control the air, which he can also do, can be used to create a strong wall of air to block attacks. However, it is somewhat difficult to create a similar air arrow killing, and it may require the cooperation of multiple spells to barely achieve it, and the success rate is not 100%.

"So, is it the work of a wizard? The strength of a wizard is indeed quite different from that of an apprentice. Thinking back to the temporary power of the Wizard Demps' fire spell before, Richard muttered.

Shaking his head, Richard strode towards the cabin.

The pirate ship has quite a few cabins built on the deck, and there are also two decks below deck.

The cabin on the deck has been searched several times, and not even a single copper coin will be left. After thinking about it, Richard walked into the first cabin below deck, only to see that there were many people searching here, so he simply continued down to the second and lowest cabin.

Descending to the lowest level, you can clearly feel a cold, damp and sour smell, and the environment is worse than the third cabin on the giant ship.

Richard took a step, scanning the moss-covered hatches on either side, and opened one at random, revealing a large number of barrels stored inside.

Open a wooden barrel, which is filled with inferior wine, because it has been left for too long, the color begins to turn black, and there is a pungent sour taste.

Then a wooden barrel was opened, and it was filled with mead, because it added a lot of honey, it was considered the best of the wine, and on the pirate ship, only the captain, first mate, second officer, boatswain, and the like could taste it.

Another wooden barrel was opened, and it contained purple-red pomegranate syrup, and medicinal substances such as cinnamon, alfalfa, and nutmeg were added. Unsurprisingly, this was the only potion available to the ship's crew when they fell ill. As for the efficacy – it's similar to a placebo.

Opening a few more, Richard found that it was almost all beer, vinegar, fruit with nails on it, and the like.

Losing interest in exploring, Richard stepped out and pushed open the door of another cabin, revealing that it contained all kinds of grain, the bags of grain had been gnawed by rats, and barley grains were all over the floor.

Shaking his head, Richard exited and walked straight to the deepest part of the cabin.

Going to the deepest part, Richard found that it had been converted into a prison cell, presumably to punish some low-level pirates for mistakes, or to hold prisoners.

Walking to the end of the cell, Richard's eyes flashed, and he saw a nearly naked woman locked inside, bound by ropes, covered in scars, and with oil on her face, but she looked beautiful and not very old. In fact, it should be precisely because of this that the other party was kept here by pirates and played for a long time.

The woman didn't know how many days she hadn't eaten, and she looked very weak. But seeing the completely different costumes of Richard and the pirate, his eyes flashed, obviously a little excited, and he opened his mouth to make a faint voice: "Help...... Help me ......."

Richard didn't move, staring at the woman, thinking about whether to save the other party.

He is not a virgin, and saving the other party is obviously a troublesome matter, and it takes a lot of effort to deal with the wound alone. And saving the other party, for him, there is no obvious benefit......

Richard was thinking about it when the sound of footsteps sounded, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that other people had gone down to the cabin to search, and it seemed that it was the person who lived in the cabin on the ground floor of the giant ship, and had taken a photo.

The other party approached and also discovered the existence of the woman in the cage, and Richard saw obvious lustful gazes in the eyes of several people. Obviously, today's series of experiences have stimulated the other party's nerves.

Faced with the woman in the cage, the other party didn't want to rescue, but wanted to do something indescribable. After all, according to what the wizard Demps said before, everything on the pirate ship is trophie. Since it's loot, isn't it how you want to dispose of it?

But they didn't do it, after all, Richard was still here.

Richard's performance on the previous deck, they have seen and heard, although not as exaggerated as Nancy, but the means of killing are not weak at all.

Big fish eat little fish!

The four words can be used both for looting and for distributing loot.

If a big guy like Richard fell in love with the woman in front of him, they obviously wouldn't dare to snatch it.

So......

Just then, there were footsteps again.

Richard turned his head to look, and then saw a familiar figure - Nancy.

"Da Da Da", Nancy stepped forward and saw the woman in the cell. hasn't said anything yet, and the few people who appeared before have automatically stayed away, after all, when they met the two big guys, they really didn't have any idea of snatching.

Nancy watched a few ordinary students leave, turned her head to look at Richard, her eyes flashed, and she pointed to the woman in the cell and asked, "Do you have a crush on her?"

Without waiting for Richard to answer, Nancy spoke up again: "Give her to me?"

"Huh?" Richard raised his eyebrows and looked at Nancy meaningfully, "Are you interested in her?"

"She worked for me. Nancy didn't deny it, "I'm not used to a life where no one is serving, she can be my maid." ”

As she spoke, Nancy looked at the woman and asked, "What do you think?"

The woman nodded vigorously, for her, as long as she could get out of here, she could say anything.

After receiving the answer, Nancy turned her head to look at Richard again, waiting for an answer.

Richard exclaimed, "Yes." ”

Of course he could, he didn't have much interest in women. As for the maid thing...... It's not much use. Unless the other party can be smart enough to understand the knowledge of the high school level on the modern earth, then maybe they can help him get started.

"She's yours. Richard said to Nancy, turned and walked away.

Nancy shouted from behind, "Hey, aren't you going to ask for any compensation, after all, I've robbed you of the spoils of war." “

"Reparations? Richard chuckled, "What can you give me?"

"Hmm......" Nancy was stunned, then spread her hands and said, "Okay, I really can't give you anything right now, but...... I can owe you a favor. When you get to the White Rock Tower, if something can't be solved, you can come to me. As long as it's not too much, I can help you. ”

"Then we'll talk about it then. Richard said, continuing to walk outside, not paying attention to the so-called human favor at all. After all, things like favors and promises really don't have much practical significance, and it's hard to determine whether they play any role.

But it didn't matter, after all, he didn't have any thoughts about the things on this pirate ship.

Thinking of this, Richard stepped onto the first cabin below deck, and was about to continue up and onto the deck, when suddenly his nose sniffed and smelled a strange smell.

Huh?

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.
