Chapter 138: Rebellion [First Update]
At the bottom of the stinking and gloomy cabin, a girl in a cotton skirt stood at a makeshift table made of small wooden planks, carefully explaining some details.
Her expression was serious, her language was very infectious, and gradually, some hope appeared in the eyes of those around her.
Two tall guards stood behind her, hands pressed to the hilts of their swords, their eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings.
If anyone dares to be disrespectful to Miss Lola, they will kill him at any time.
In fact, only about three-quarters of this bilge were slaves, and the remaining quarter were sailors on board!
They are plotting a big thing, a plot about how to overthrow Captain George.
And Miss Lola is the key to success.
……
Little Tuck stood by in a daze, there were many ways to escape since he was captured on the slave ship.
After all, as a halfling thief, his flexibility is far beyond human imagination, and his stealth ability is also very powerful.
If he wanted to leave, he could have slipped away a long time ago.
But this time, he didn't go.
The last time he said he wanted to protect Lola, he left her alone and slipped away, which made him feel very shameless. The young halfling began to understand something.
Even thieves sometimes have to stand up and protect their friends.
So he was simply captured on a slave ship with Lola, and then secretly protected her.
Those shackles for ordinary slaves. It would seem ridiculous to the little halfling.
Old Tuk had taught him how to deal with these stupid things invented by humans - after all, the old halfling was a habitual thief when he was young, and was often imprisoned in places like black prisons, water prisons, and even terrifying sky cages.
The reason why he was able to survive was because of his excellent prison escape skills.
Little Tuck inherited his abilities. To deal with the shackles of the South, it is still easy to capture.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he broke free from his cell and sneaked to the place where the women were being held, Lola was already followed by two sailors on duty!
At the time, he thought they were going to kill her...... Later, it turned out that the little halfling was completely overthinking.
Once again, Lola relied on her full-level flickering ability to turn the two sailors who had long been very dissatisfied with Captain George.
As for the conditions for rebellion, it is naturally a blank promise. How high can you open and how high you can open.
In the world of Fanan, the captain of a ship represents the law. Sailors can vote for the captain of their choice through guò. But there are some places where there is no way to change - the captain with great power will be feared by the majority of the people, and thus get more votes.
And overthrow the captain's rule is such a thing. Generally speaking, this is only possible on a pirate ship. Although the South is a slave ship, it doesn't mind occasionally engaging in the business of robbery, but it is not exactly a pirate ship.
Once these people do overthrow Captain George, who has the double approval of the White Elephant Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Wizard, then there will be no place for them. They will wander the seas, and no port will receive them - they will be greeted only by gallows and patrolling soldiers.
But in Lola's mouth, this qiē becomes no problem.
……
"Are you still worried about your future? Come on, Captain George didn't take you seriously at all! ”
Under the dim light, Lola's mouth gushed: "I am a close confidant of Baron Marven in the White River Valley. Responsible for the management of a qiē business conduct. I can be your guarantor for the freed Southern, to join the White River Valley. ”
"You've heard the legend of the new port. Once developed. That is the [Sword Port] in the south! ”
"You will join the White River Valley, and become the first fleet under Lord Marven, and become normal commercial ships, without having to do the work of the slave trade, which is against your conscience."
"You can get a higher salary - of course, you deserve it. The White River Valley is a thriving, growing territory. ”
"Hey. Have you ever heard of the [Wild Frontier Order]? Master Marven, who has the Wild Pioneer Order, has a qiē immunity. ”
"I dare say. He must be looking for me everywhere right now. The validity of my guarantee is absolutely very high. ”
"What are you waiting for? Convince your friends that tomorrow night, we'll do it. ”
The object of her flickering at this time is the sailors on duty.
Although Lola was very moved by what she said, they were still very hesitant.
"Baron Marvin's name, I've heard of it, he's a hot figure in Gem Bay right now. If we take the ship and take refuge in Him, He should be able to forgive us. ”
A thin sailor on duty said cautiously.
Others were silent.
After all, there are a few people who are sober in their heads, and they won't be beaten by Lola in a few words and fight with the captain like chicken.
Although they are all bachelors who have no worries, there are still many factors to consider.
For example, one of the sturdy men with the upper body* stood up and looked at Lola coldly:
"First of all, we are now on the docks, not at sea, and the rebellion is easy to be discovered."
"Secondly, even if we convince some of our brothers, there are many more who are on the captain's side, and we are alone. Conspiracy? Rebellion requires murder! Who do we rely on? Is it up to you unarmed slaves? The boatswain is not easy to mess with, he is a third-order master! There is also the first mate and the captain. ”
"Thirdly, I remain skeptical about how much credibility you have to say. Does Marven care about a little girl like you? To be honest, your posture is really good, otherwise you wouldn't be imprisoned on the side of a high-ranking slave. But to say you're the head of commerce in the White River Valley is a bit of nonsense. ”
"Don't tell me that little halfling can guarantee it. I never believed halflings. ”
As soon as this statement came out. The thoughts of many sailors were immediately dispelled.
This sturdy man is the second mate on the ship, although he has long had the intention of rebellion, but he has been secretly recruiting people. No action.
Although Lola's words are very tempting, he has already considered many factors, and he will not be fooled because of a few words.
He said so.
The fiery* and greedy thoughts that many people had just been stirred up by Lola immediately began to slowly subside.
Lola saw that the situation was not good, and just wanted to continue talking.
Who knew that at this time, the hatch of the bottom compartment was suddenly opened!
Several sailors who were not on duty walked in stiffly.
Everyone's complexion has changed dramatically!
"Damn! Aren't you in the boatswain's room? ”
The second pair of faces turned pale, and he suddenly drew out his thin Western sword. Aimed at the person who came: "Damn*, I didn't want to rebel." There's no way around it now......"
The situation in the bottom warehouse suddenly became tense.
Lola was so frightened that she immediately shrank back, pulled little Tuke and said, "You kid must protect me this time!" ”
The little halfling nodded firmly.
The two strong sailors who had been thoroughly brainwashed by Lola also took out their swords and protected Miss Lola.
Most of the slaves hid in a corner in a panic, for fear of being killed by the fish in the pond.
And yet at this very moment. One of the sailors suddenly said, "Don't be nervous. ”
"We're in this league with you."
The second mate sneered and said, "Really? I have been secretly lobbying you for three months, and you have always gone to the boatswain's side. ”
"Now you say you're in the same league as us, who believes you?"
In the next second, his long sword stabbed like a poisonous snake.
Now that someone has discovered it, there is no room for maneuver!
He is also a ruthless person, and he will do it when he says he will do it!
However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the bottom of the silo.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes were fixed on the black shadow.
The shadow rolled around the ground a few times, and finally in the dim light. Everyone saw it for what it really was!
That's a human head.
"Boatswain!" I don't know which sailor exclaimed in a low voice.
Everyone looked at each other.
The boatswain, who usually flaunted in front of them, was now left with only a bare head rolling on the dirty planks of the bottom barn.
It caught them off guard a bit.
Even the second mate, who has always been shrewd, was a little confused.
It was at this time. A faint voice came from above: "I am Marven from the White River Valley. ”
"It looks like the boatswain in your mouth isn't that powerful."
In the next second, Marven's figure suddenly jumped down from above and landed firmly at the bottom.
"Lola?" He asked.
With his dark vision, he could clearly see the little girl hiding behind the two big men.
When the latter saw Marven, he was stunned at first. Then I was pleasantly surprised, and I don't know where I got the strength to push away the two big men:
"Get out of the way. My boss is here! ”
……
Baron Marvin of the White River Valley!
Everyone looked at Marven in awe!
Now Marven is a well-known character in the East Coast region. His legend soared, and with the bonus of the Savage Frontier Order, it seemed that even the Wood Elves had spread the news that he had fought side by side with the Elven Prince.
That's the benefit of being legendary.
The shadow of a tree's name is something that can be seen.
"I just passed by the boatswain's room and saw a few of them playing cards, so I asked who the boatswain was, and I brought it over."
Marven pointed to his head on the ground, smiled and said, "Now, do you have any concerns?" ”
Everyone shook their heads slowly.
The second mate said in a deep voice: "Are you really Lord Marven?" If you could really pardon our sins, we'll do it today! ”
Marven sneered: "Do you still have a way out?" ”
The second mate was speechless. He originally wanted to ask for more chips, but was blocked by Marven with a word.
"There are probably two more masters on board."
"The first mate will be handed over to you. The captain handed it over to me, no problem, right? ”
Marven stared at the second mate and asked.
After learning that the South had taken Lola, he made up his mind. He will not tolerate those who should be killed.
This ship, he is also going to order!
