"Fraser is the oldest pirate on the island, I heard that he was already famous here before I arrived in Nassau, some say that he fought side by side with Henry Morgan, together he raided the Spanish settlements, and in the last battle he plundered 2 million pounds, making this old bastard rich, after Henry Morgan was recalled by the queen and sent home to prison, he also left Jamaica and came to Nassau, where he recruited troops, and at its peak his pirate regiment had eleven pirate ships, hundreds of guns, and seven or eight hundred men."

"What happened next?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I don't know, there are rumors that he wants to accept the Queen's pardon secretly, and when the news broke, his men mutinied, he was voted to be stripped of his captainship, the pirate regiment was disbanded, and this old bastard is now a most ordinary sailor." The armorer gloated.

"But he's still your creditor." Zhang Heng reminded in friendship.

The armorer couldn't laugh anymore when he heard this, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Okay, I've told you everything I know as you asked, and then it's your turn to fulfill the agreement." ”

Zhang Heng was not stingy when he got what he wanted to know, left ten silver pesos on the table, and said, "Last question, where can I rent a house in the town?" ”

…………

Zhang Heng still had 58 silver coins left in his pocket, of course he could choose to stay in a hotel, but considering that he was going to stay on this small island for more than ten years, Zhang Heng still decided to find a place to stay, the place he chose was slightly far away from the dock, closer to the center of the island, in a piece of farmland, but the advantage was that it was quieter, and the price was cheap, even if he bought it, it would only cost 160 silver coins, and if he rented it for two years, it would only cost 17 silver coins.

But there was only an empty wooden house, which looked like it could fall down at any moment, in fact Nassau was full of such houses, and there was a time when piracy was rampant in Nassau, and the Spanish and French sides would regularly send navies to raze the place, so the property was not worth much.

Zhang Heng paid the money, purchased some daily necessities and moved in, and the next morning he began to repair and renovate the house.

During the time he spent alone on a desert island, he had built tiled houses and wooden frames with his own hands, and he was a bit basic for the building, but there was no problem with repairing and reinforcing it.

The Bahamas belongs to the subtropical climate, the average annual temperature is about 234 degrees, although it is spring now, but the temperature is not low, Zhang Heng took off his shirt, rode on the roof naked, and used hammers and nails to fill the holes in the roof one by one.

A six- or seven-year-old girl from the neighbor's house next door secretly looked at him behind the palm tree, Zhang Heng showed her a kind smile, but the next moment the latter hurried home barefoot.

But then a familiar figure appeared not far away.

- Marven, the farmer, has been separated from Zhang Heng for less than a day, but his appearance has changed drastically, one sleeve has been torn off his clothes, and only one boot is left on his feet, in addition to this, his body is also blue and purple, his eyes are swollen, and he looks very miserable.

He came to the outside of the cabin and squeezed a flattering smile from his face, "That...... Can you give me something to eat? I've been hungry since last night. ”

"Don't you still have 25 silver pesos on you?"

"Lost, lost." Marvin said embarrassedly.

The farmer's son planned to escape on a boat on the dock last night, but apparently he didn't succeed, and he was beaten badly, and his money was also robbed, this thing is too embarrassing, even with his face, he is a little embarrassed to say it, he is really desperate now, so he had to ask someone about Zhang Heng's residence again, and rushed to take refuge.

Zhang Heng and Marven have been together for so long, they have long known what the other party is, selfish and thick-faced, timid and hypocritical, after breaking up before the exchange, he no longer planned to care about the latter's life or death, but now Zhang Heng has changed his attention again.

This time, the main quest is different from the previous ones, requiring him to establish a faction of his own in Nassau.

He still doesn't know what the standard of so-called power is, but this kind of thing is certainly not something he can do alone.

He needed a team, especially among the pirates who liked to vote democratically, and even a ruthless character like Fraser fell apart after losing the support of his subordinates.

And no matter how bad Malven is, it also represents a vote, and because of the escape, he will most likely be rejected by the other people on the ship, so he has no other choice but to fall to Zhang Heng.

Even a rag has its use, and a villain like Malvern naturally has his role.

Therefore, Zhang Heng did not debunk the clumsy lie of the farmer's son, but said lightly, "There is bread and cheese on the table, you can go and get it yourself." ”

The latter came to Zhang Heng with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, no way, he didn't know many people originally, and he didn't know who else would take him in after this kind of thing happened, especially considering his previous cheating performance, Zhang Heng didn't fall into the well and beat him up together, but he didn't expect that the other party not only didn't pursue the previous matter, but also gave him food.

Malvin devoured the bread in his hand, remembering his tragic experience along the way, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Heng coming down from the roof, he could no longer restrain his feelings, and choked up and said emotionally, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong about those things before, I will never do this again, from now on my life is yours, even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I will not betray you again!" ”

Impressed? Zhang Heng believed that at least at this moment, the farmer's son was indeed grateful, but this gratitude would probably not last for more than two days, and then it would be excreted along with the food he ate in his stomach, in fact, it would not take two days later, and now that someone put a knife on his neck, he would not hesitate to choose to betray again, because it was his nature.

But Zhang Heng didn't care about this, he never expected the farmer's son to be reliable at a critical time.

After the contents of the barrel were transported off the ship by the old pirate, the fate of the two was no longer bound, Zhang Heng wiped his hands and said to Marven on the side, "You eat slowly, I'll go out for a spin." ”

The latter's expression was a little flustered, obviously worried that Zhang Heng would find out what happened last night, Zhang Heng had to add, "Don't worry, it's not because of you." ”
