Chapter 881: Pirates are actually drudgery
The pirates want to eat chicken, well, rather, to be exact, especially when they're wandering around the ship for a long time in months. Of course, this open meat has a literal meaning, but it also has other meanings.
After all, we only need to logically deduce that the seemingly promising profession of catching the sea is only romantic at first glance, but it is actually a very tiring and boring and lonely job. The surrounding blue sea looks spectacular, but if the weather changes slightly, it will change its face. The storm unleashed a wave that seemed to destroy an entire mountain or even a huge city. The deep blue water turned into a pitch-black abyss, and there was no bottom to be seen, as if the whole soul of a person would be swallowed up at the first glance. No matter how sturdy the ship is, how many seasoned sailors are, they are as fragile as duckweed in the face of the emotionally changing sea, and if they say no, they will be gone.
In fact, just a few days in the deep ocean can be stressful. After all, humans are real land animals, and when they leave the solid and stable land, they themselves are in the most insecure state.
Those sons and local tyrants who can just drive a yacht and take a group of young models to open a feast in the calm coastal sea have to sing the praises of the sea with all kinds of pretentious words and sentences, but simply because of ignorance. They have no idea what the sea is really like.
Pirates, merchants, navies, and fishermen from the oceans, these are the people who really understand the sea and have to fight against it, and especially the pirates. This group of sea athletes who have engaged in such a promising career. But most of them can't have a chance to die, not to be killed by opponents and subordinates. It's being killed by the navy, or being caught by some powerhouse in a bad mood who occasionally passes by, such as a blast. Lost to the government as a bounty voucher, he was hung on a high gallows, and his body was slowly dried by the pecking of seabirds.
Even if they make a big deal once in a while, it will take time to write it off. There are countless islands and harbors in the Tatsumi Sea, but unless there are officially supported privateers, it is actually difficult for real pirate ships to find ports willing to accept their shore supplies, so most of the time, they can only float at sea, or look for prey. Either that, or running for your life. Even if they finally find a port willing to take them in, the loot they plundered will be ruthlessly exploited by the underworld giants of these black ports, and the rest of the gold coins will quickly disappear between the legs of the liquor and cheap ** that have been mixed in the port.
Yes, their end is actually doomed, so they naturally live a life of drunken dreams and death. But this was only when they were in the harbor, and for most of the pirates' lives, they could only float on the sea, eating sweet potatoes and salted fish that could be preserved for a long time. Plus a little bit of black bread that is about to become moldy, slowly looking for prey.
After all, humans are not paramecium, and the stress of this lifestyle can be imagined. When the pressure is high, you need to open meat in various senses to vent. This is the reason why pirates are very cruel.
Pirates need to vent, they need to open meat, they need to satisfy their appetites. Sensory stimulation, as well as the desire for emptiness in the three inches under the muscles. But there is basically no girl on the ship - although this world does not have the custom of "women are not allowed to get on the boat, otherwise it will be very unlucky" in Lu Xi's hometown. But the work on board is still heavy and tiring. There are very few women who can gain a foothold on a sea ship, although it is not completely absent, but all of them are basically equipped with unique skills, but they are not people that ordinary dick pirates can afford to provoke.
Therefore, ordinary little pirates have a really hard time.
So, on this day, the pirates on the "Black Jasmine", after wandering for more than a month, still couldn't find suitable prey. They had eaten enough salted fish, rotten sweet potatoes, and black flour cakes, and felt that their stomachs were about to accumulate sour water.
"Captain, we can't go on like this!" The boatswain, a burly man who was obviously of orc blood, at least two meters tall, and could scare children into nightmares just by his appearance, said to the captain: "I am an orc, and I need fresh meat, and I always eat moldy black bread and sprouted potatoes, not to mention whether I will have meat poisoning." Malnutrition alone will die, well, really die...... Ahh What is this to do? Am I sick that I will hang up if I don't dock at the port again? ”
Perhaps to add a little bit of convincingness, this big man with five big and three thick even put his hand on his forehead and posed as a sick and weak sister Lin who was crumbling with the wind and willows, and the picture was simply beautiful to the point of magic.
"Soul Fade, you only have a quarter of orc blood, where is so squeamish? And you usually eat the most on the boat, and the little fresh meat I rarely bring on the boat is also eaten by you! The bearded captain patted the fence on the bridge and shouted at his men: "And the construction has not started for three months, is it my problem?" The last time we blocked a small fishing boat, didn't there be several crew members on it? Isn't that fresh meat? The seafood they hunt is not fresh meat? ”
"Wow, Captain, you're such a hardcore person!" The half-blood orc boatswain looked at his captain dumbfounded with an expression of "you are so dirty, I actually met it for the first time", rubbed his hands, and showed an embarrassed expression: "But you also know, it's just a small fishing boat, even if you rob it, there is really no oil and water to fish!" Captain, didn't you educate us that ordinary small civilian boats and fishing boats, as well as ordinary cargo ships that transport and dump goods, actually have no need to do anything...... This is the economic principle of the so-called piracy! Anyway, captain, what does it mean to throw goods? What the hell is economics? ”
"The so-called dumping refers to the kind of goods whose volumetric weight is heavier than the actual weight, but this is the that those who read the book say...... For those of us who run the ship to buy and sell, it refers to the kind of money-losing goods that have been shipped all the way to the past and the money earned is not enough for our transportation costs, such as grain, cotton, and the like! It's better to throw away this kind of goods on the spot when you get it! Tut. You don't even understand this kind of common sense, what are you rushing to the sea? Not pirates! ”
"But. We're pirates......"
“…… Belch! Soul light, I mean. Products like grain, cotton, and fabric, if you are a serious runner, you still have a little bit of money, but we are pirates! Do we have to find a place to sell the stolen goods with a whole bunch of sardines? This is not even enough for the intermediary fee! For us pirates, these are not dumps, what are? The captain scolded loudly: "If we want to do business, we must make it big." Either it's a gold ship, or something to transport luxury goods, it's really not good, even if it's a weapon! Usually these are bought and sold. Personally, I named them heavy goods, or gold goods. Of course, in terms of a pirate's business philosophy, these are not the most valuable deals. ”
The boatswain was really a good boatswain, and although he had not read a book and was not strictly smart, he had a lot of survival wisdom and understood very well when his own captain began to say these things that he did not understand. The best way is to sit in the car and look like you're listening, and occasionally with a little "oh" and a "oh" of the five-body throw, the effect of slapping on the back will definitely be more than (9) times. Of course, if it is very appropriate, it looks like it is very studious, diligent and inquisitive. The captain will be happier.
"And the most important deal, I named it the meat ......"
Then the boatswain looked at each other with an expression of "Captain, you are so dirty", and immediately exchanged an angry head hammer from his boss. Yes. Enraged, Mr. Captain saved the boatswain's head, which was supposed to be bigger than himself, and smashed it with his own.
More than two meters tall. Mr. Sailor, who had orc blood and muscles that swelled like inflated air, immediately squatted down with a headshot. And the captain continued to say in a proud tone: "The so-called meat goods refer to the kind of yachts of the sons and daughters of nobles and wealthy merchants. This group of young masters and little princesses occasionally run to the open sea in search of excitement. If they can be intercepted, just taking the ransom will be worth doing several gold transactions. Got it? ”
"I see, no wonder the captain led us out of the main shipping lanes and into the waters near Neosfia. There are the most rich young masters here. The boatswain of orc blood covered his head, but he still remembered to show a look of sincerity and enlightenment.
"That's right, you've finally grown! Study hard and you will definitely become a very good businessman...... Oh no, pirates! Mr. Captain's head actually hurts too, but this does not delay him from complimenting his discerning subordinates, and by the way, he is greatly satisfied with himself.
The first mate and navigator on the side, with wavy red hair and green eyes, a clear and cold appearance, a tall figure, but wearing a men's breeches shirt, and a leather sleeveless jacket, the eldest sister who looks a little rough and wild finally can't listen to it. With a straight face, she said coldly to her captain, "Isn't it because your ship hasn't opened for almost a year, and you really can't explain to your cousin if you don't make a big ticket, so you have to risk running to the vicinity of Neosfia to try your luck?" ”
"No, no, no, dear Miss Fantine, it's not an adventure. There are too many islands, caves, and reefs near Neosfia, and as the best navigator in this sea, the geography and hydrology of the neighborhood are all in your mind. We don't have to fear the bulky giant warship of the Neosfia Navy at all, as long as we move flexibly and give full play to our little Jasmine's speed advantage, there will be no problems! The captain said seriously: "Yes, there is absolutely no problem with you." ”
"All the best navigators in the world are at the bottom of the sea beneath our feet, and I am just an ordinary human being, and I dare not compete with the real lord of the sea." The captain's sycophants couldn't impress Miss Navigator who took the cold route at all, she still had the same cold face and cold words: "But I also have to remind you that the ship's supplies are about to bottom out!" We've been pouring stinky salted fish and brown bread for months, and we've all been under a lot of pressure, and if you don't have any more business in the next few days, I can't guarantee that the sailors won't rebel! ”
"This ...... Don't be sad, you can't cry, you can't despair, I believe you will see the light soon! Yes, Miss Bonnie will have good news when she comes back this time. ”
"I hope so. Anyway, the pirate ship does not raise waste, what will be the end of the pirate captain who loses the trust of the crew and is betrayed, although you have not been in the industry for a long time, you should also understand, right? Miss Navigator's cold but realistic language made the captain's beard tremble, like a mass of long-haired cats whose hair had been curled with fright.
Fortunately, Mr. Captain did not wait long in such an ordeal. The people on the boat soon saw a figure in the distance in the air, flapping its wings and approaching rapidly. She was indeed flying fast, no slower than some of the large carnivorous birds that were hunting, and with a few flaps of her wings, she flew quickly over the ship, and then landed cleanly on the deck with a light movement.
This is a winged man wearing a close-fitting scale armor, and he is also a very good-looking and well-toned female wingman. Compared to most of her Black Flag Winged people who live on the front line of the Namoa Mountains, have been bullied and suppressed by the Federation, and are all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, she really looks very healthy and energetic.
"Captain, Captain, we finally know the goal! It's meat, your favorite meat! The female winged man said excitedly, and her eyes almost flashed with the brilliance of gold coins: "We really sent it!" Make a fortune! (To be continued.) )
