Chapter 518 Sleepiness [Thanks to the leader of Morgenstern]

  Inervig, the port of Rendona.

  The port is still that busy scenery. People from different countries gather here. Even if the war between Inervig and Gallunaro is about to start, no one cares about it. After all, life will continue, and even anxiety will not change much.

  In a cargo ship docked at the dock, in the gloomy cabin, the tabletop was illuminated by dim light, and flies and insects swayed among the falling dust, causing annoying noise.

  Ande waved his hand to disperse these annoying things, dangling cigarettes and lowered his head, flipping through the ledger, counting the gold coins.

  "Business has been a little bad recently. The war is about to come, and the number of illegal immigrants from the Viking countries has dropped a lot."

   sighed helplessly on his face full of flesh, gathered up the gold coins, put them in the bag, and stuffed them into the secret compartment under the drawer.

Ander is engaged in the gray industry of smuggling. It makes huge profits and does not have to pay taxes. This is a business that counts money. Ander thought it would continue to make money. As a result, the tension between the big countries caused him to suffer. Influence.

  Once war starts, the White Tide Strait is bound to become a battlefield again, and the surrounding area of ​​Inervig is no longer safe. Some Vikings who yearn for here are afraid of it, which makes Ander's business a lot worse.

   "What about people? Why haven't you come back after going out for so long?"

  Ande finished his work and cursed at the sailors.

   "Probably in which bar you fooled around."

  The sailor sitting in the cabin replied that after a voyage, Ender would let these sailors go out to fool around for a few days, and today is the last day. They will set sail in the evening and go to the Viking countries again.

  Ande is ready to make this money and then temporarily stop. He knows a few fairly good Vikings, and he plans to live in the Viking countries for a while to avoid the flames of war.

   "Really, if you can't catch up, you don't have to come back."

   Ande said viciously, every time he took a step, his bloated body would shake violently.

   Pushing open the hatch, I saw blood stains all over the corridor, a long strip, as if a corpse had just been dragged past here.

   "Have you taken care of it?"

  Ande looked at the sailor who was still washing the blood and asked.

   "It has been processed. Just like before, the corpse was tied to a stone and sank into the sea." The sailor replied calmly. He seemed to be used to such things.

   "Well, good job. Anyway, it's just a group of dead Vikings. When they are discovered, they may be eaten only with bones."

  Ande smiles disgustingly.

Smuggling is a business, but he is not very gentle with customers. Even if he collects their money, most of the Vikings are locked into the lower cabins like slaves. Some people may die accidentally during the journey. This kind of treatment is needed. As for the Vikings who arrived in Inervig...

  Ande has connections with many factories. The Vikings will be very reliable and cheap labor, and the factory owners are willing to pay Ande with the head count.

  He started with these, and of course the ship under his feet. Ander still thinks that is the best decision he has ever made in his life.

The cargo ship arrived in the Viking countries for material transportation. Some Vikings secretly gave themselves money and asked them to take them out of this barren and desolate land. Faced with the temptation of gold coins, Ander agreed to them without hesitation, first alone. , And then three, five, or even more people, until one day the captain found these.

   Facing the captain's reprimand, Ender broke his leg with a shot. He thought that the other sailors would stop Ender, but Ender handed them a dagger.

The captain realized at that time that Yi Ande could not do this alone. Everyone on the ship participated in all of this. Amid his desperate wailing, the dagger was pierced and pulled out, and everyone's body was stained. Full of blood.

  The battered corpse was thrown into the sea, and the captain's death made Ander's today.

   "Can't you do business well? You have to fight."

Ender glanced at the sea surface of the pier. On the sea surface not far from the port of Rendona, several iron-clad ships were waiting there. The cannons and soldiers, and black smoke continued to rise from the chimneys, as if the next second At the other end of the sea, the enemy will ride the wind and waves.

The existence of armored ships has added a sense of security to the residents of the port, but also because of their existence, everyone knows that war is indeed coming. It is not a random guess in the newspaper, but a wheel of history. A nightmare destined to arrive.

   "You are Ande, right?"

   A cold female voice sounded behind him, without warning.

  Ande turned around abruptly, took out the pistol from his waist, and cold sweat overflowed from his neck in an instant.

  In doing this kind of business, it is inevitable that there are some enemies, so Ander rarely leaves his ship after docking, but under such careful guard, a woman still came to him quietly.

"Who are you?"

   Ender did not pull the trigger for the first time. He killed many people, but now in the situation at Rendona Port, it is not sure what the gunfire would cause.

  A woman caught her eye. Her clothes were messy and her style was not like Inervig. Judging from the cross on her neck, Ender guessed that she was from the Holy Gospel Papal kingdom.

  The woman's expression was very low, her face was exhausted, her drooping eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn't slept well for a long time.

  The most attractive thing for Ender’s attention is the decoration on the top of the woman’s head.

  Like a crown of entangled withered tree roots, the surface exudes a silver-white metallic luster, and some gaps are filled with dust, making it look weather-beaten.

   is valuable, very valuable.

  Ande didn't know if this thing was silver or another metal, but from the first sight of the crown, he realized that this thing was very valuable.

  Never underestimate the allure of wealth for a person.

  This was when the captain was dying, and Ander had spoken to him.

   "If you didn't come to kill me, then you came to beg me, what do you need?"

  Ande put away the gun, smiled, revealing the inlaid gold teeth.

   "A ticket to go to the Viking countries."

  Wason replied indifferently, the successive exhaustion made it difficult for her to mobilize her emotions and say something, not to mention the burden brought by the body.

  After all, the physique of a mortal is still limited. After a long time of running, this body is almost unable to hold on. Even if Watson's willpower is extraordinary, it is difficult to control a dead body.

   "That's it?" Ander wondered if he had heard it wrong.

  It was just going to the Viking countries. Watson could find a regular ship with comfortable rooms and drinks, but she gave up these and came here instead.

  A place that seems to make people feel uneasy, she must have some other purpose.

   "Well, but I can set sail if I need it, right now, right away."

  Watson added.

She also read the ferry tickets. Most ships still need to wait a day or two before they can leave. Watson can’t wait that long. She needs to see Lorenzo as soon as possible. In the memory of the old Pope, she knew too much. What's bad, I also slightly know what's in the north.

   "Now? Just take you alone?" Ander smiled happily, "That's not good, ma'am, one ticket is not enough."

   "What about these?"

  Wason raised his hand as she said, and the blood-stained sack was lifted by her. It was full of stuff inside and dripping with blood. It was hard to imagine how Watson got it.

  She released her hand, the bag fell to the ground, and countless gold coins jumped out of it and scattered all over the place. The light fell on the metal surface, and the golden light and shadow reflected Ande's face.

  Ande lowered his head, these gold coins really caught his gaze, but then his gaze froze.

  These gold coins are a little different. What they depict is not an angry howl, but a bird, a shrike with thorns in its mouth.

  This is a gold coin from Old Dunling, butcher coin.

  "Where did you get it?"

  Ander's complexion became dignified, and at the exchange price of Butcher Coins, these amount of Butcher Coins are already worth the gains of Ander's several voyages.

   "Is this important?"

  Wason was too lazy to answer these questions. She had no money and it was too late to make money, so she simply went to Xiacheng District.

  This gray area is full of gold. As long as your sword is sharp enough, you can get everything. As expected, Watson defeated a gang easily. For her, it was as simple as going to the bank to withdraw money.

   "Can I go now?"

  Watson asked.

   "Of course you can, of course you can."

  Ande excitedly picked up the gold coin and stuffed it into his arms, while not forgetting to shout to the sailors.

  "Raise the anchor chain, ready to set sail!"

Watson didn't say much when she saw this. She turned and looked at the sailor on the other side. He was carrying a bucket and a mop, and blood was exuding in the muddy water.

  Ande felt a little bad, but Watson seemed to have ignored these things, and didn't care about these blood qi at all.

  "You, find me a room, and get me some food and water."

  Watson's voice was very low, leaning on the wall.

  ……

   "It's a lot of money, Captain, this job is much easier than before."

  The first officer said to Ande with a look of excitement.

  There are no such annoying Vikings, and there is no need to worry about them rioting. This time they only transported a tired woman.

  He is in a very happy mood now, not only the share after this trip, but also his promotion.

  Emergency sailing was too late to recall the crew. The chief mate, the second mate and others were still fooling around outside. In this situation, Ande arbitrarily promoted him.

   "By the way, after returning home, will I be dismissed?"

  The chief mate asked tentatively, and he also knew why he got the position. When the real chief mate came back, it would be an embarrassing situation.

   "No, we won't go back to pick them up." Ander smiled, "Do you want more people to share the money with you?"

  The first mate listened to his words, his eyes lit up.

   "Yes, so we can get a lot of money." The first officer looked very happy.

   "Also, we will be able to spend the money soon."

   Ande said meaningfully.

Following his voice, the cargo ship Haima slowly sailed away from the port. Its specifications were not large, and much smaller than conventional cargo ships. It is reasonable to say that it would be difficult to sail long distances, but in Angola Driven by Germany's greed, everything is possible.

  "Leave the port first, the farther away the better." Ander said.

  "Should you not make a route first?"

  This is the first time he has been a chief mate, and there are some things he still doesn’t know.

  "Are you stupid?" Seeing the first officer look like this, Ander became angry and knocked his head hard with the handle of the gun.

The first officer has been with him for a long time, and he has also killed people with him, but he always lacks some cleverness, which makes Ander a headache, but because of this, Ander is relieved to leave many things to him, at least this is a bit slow. The guy won't suddenly stab himself in the back.

   "Go to a sea with no one and kill her. Isn't the money all ours?"

  Ande let out a terrifying laugh.

   "No need to go to the Viking countries, nor this long voyage, kill her, throw her into the sea, just like we did before, then we can take the money to have fun."

  ……

  The cabin shook, Watson lay in the sour cabin, closed his eyes and frowned.

  She tried to fall asleep to recover a little bit from the exhausted body, but she did not dare to fall asleep completely, for fear that something bad would happen in the sleeping room, even Watson dared not compare his eyes.

  As soon as he closed his eyes, there was endless darkness in front of him, and the darkness seemed to be squirming, and something was about to come out of it.

   That kind of extreme disgust, this power has a very powerful infecting ability, even Watson will be shaken at a certain moment... She almost killed Eve.

  She was contaminated, the thing in the memory of the old pope.

  Recalling the past in my mind, countless pictures flashed continuously, telling the distant past.

Since the night of Holy Prophet, Watson has hardly recalled everything in the past. In her opinion, the life that has been completely different, two completely different people, even in Lorenzo’s questioning, she did not admit that she was 016.

  Watson felt that he was no longer.

  But now she recalled with all her strength, let these tedious and uninteresting memories restrain herself, make herself heavy, no longer ascend, and retain the slightest humanity to avoid the invasion of darkness.

  I can’t lose yet, at least I can’t lose so fast.

  Intensive sweat covered Watson's forehead, and at this time the hatch was silently pushed open.

  The sailor held a dagger. He lowered his breath and sneaked into it quietly. He walked slowly to Watson's side, and saw Watson lying on his side with his back facing him.

  The sharp steel was lifted up and aimed at Watson's throat.

   "Really..."

   Watson complained.

  The sailor was taken aback by her sobriety, and then he reacted and quickly stabbed the dagger.

  Watson was faster than him, and in the crisp trembling sound, the folding knife quickly extended, and the cold knife head pierced directly along the sailor's jaw and penetrated the head.

  The warm blood dripped, and Watson looked helpless and angry.

   "Really... I just want to take a break..." Watson said viciously, "One after another, it's endless."

  She walked out of the cabin holding the blood-stained folding knife.
