Aldridge suddenly smiled and said, "Captain Helena, if it's an underwater ruin, then the price you put forward may not be enough."

When Herbert heard this, he wanted to frown and subconsciously shouted, "You!"

Aldridge ignored him and just looked at Helena.

Helena said without changing her face: "I think this price is enough. Although I don't know much about this ruin, my grandfather is not a Beyonder, but he can get out of it."

"I'm not being rude, but you know... your parents still suffered misfortune on this expedition." Aldridge questioned.

In fact, he didn't care about this kind of price negotiation at all, but if he agreed to go to the ruins without saying a word or questioning at all, Helena would have doubts—

Why do you agree so happily?

In this world, who doesn't have acting skills? Hide what should be hidden, it's just a waste of saliva and expressions.

Helena stood firm and said: "But the situation now is different from before, Mr. Ledger, Mr. La Masia, including me, Herbert and Mr. Aldridge are all extraordinary, and we have stronger strength to deal with it. ."

Aldrich said directly: "Add one more item from the ruins."

"No, we have already negotiated the price, and there is no reason to change." Helena objected.

"Everyone knows whether this price is reasonable or not is based on the difficulty of the commission itself, not on false lies before the information is revealed." Aldridge did not back down.

"I'm not lying."

Aldridge laughed and said, "But you are not frank enough."

Helena's expression remained unchanged, and she kept her mouth shut.

"If I remember correctly, your request for entrustment is to let me protect you?" After Aldridge finished saying this, he waited playfully for Helena to get angry.

"Are you threatening me?" Helena said coldly.

"How?" Aldridge spread his hands to express his innocence.

In his heart, he was already happy - it turned out to be such a feeling to be a rogue!

It's pretty good, but it's a disgrace.

Helena is not a completely naive person, she made the right decision after biting her teeth for a while:

"I can agree to your request, but this item can't go too far."

"It's natural."

Helena smiled again and said, "Then please, Mr. Aldridge."

Aldridge smiled and responded, "Trust me, Captain Helena."

Herbert on the side has no idea why things have turned out like this.

Suddenly 'noisy'.

Suddenly 'laughs'.

If he only looked at the beginning and the end, and not the middle process, he would have thought that the two of them had been peaceful and nothing had happened.

This is not the first time.

Herbert finally understood one thing:

It's better for me not to interrupt when they talk.

Just feel at ease and do your job well... Herbert already knew clearly how simple and happy he was when he was the first mate on Grandpa Helena's ship.

"There is a ship approaching ahead!"

"There is a ship approaching ahead!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of sailors from outside.

Aldridge frowned and asked, "Is it Ledger and the others?"

Helena shook her head and said, "Impossible, the location we agreed on is still half a day's flight away."

"Go out and have a look."

Aldridge swallowed his nausea and walked out of the captain's room with the two.

When I came to the bow deck, I looked into the sun and saw a sea boat about the size of the Zhanlang number a few hundred meters away, straight as they approached, with no intention of evading.

Herbert roared, "Flag-bearer, have you used the flag?"

"Fighted! The other party didn't respond!" the flag bearer shouted in response.

Without hesitation, Herbert directly ordered: "Get ready for battle! Helmsman, turn the rudder to the right, avoid!"

"Yes!"

This is the benefit of an experienced first mate. When Helena's response was a beat, Herbert had already arranged everything reasonably.

As long as there is a clear order, the sailors will not panic too much.

Aldridge stood a little behind, wondering in his heart, this place is so close to the Spurzi port, and it is the daytime with high visibility, how could he be attacked by the enemy at this time?

But if it wasn't an enemy attack, why didn't the other party reply to the semaphore, and they didn't see any sign of evasion at all.

Aldrich thought for a while, got into the cabin, and transformed some black gold particles with the black mist.

Helena held a monocular, looked carefully for a few seconds, frowned and murmured, "Why didn't you see anyone?"

Aldridge heard her and asked, "Did you see no one?"

Helena nodded and said, "At least not on the bow deck."

It feels so weird.

A distance of a few hundred meters is not too far at sea, and soon, the other party's ship has reached a position where the specific situation can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

The deck of the Zhanlang is higher than the opponent's ship, so the opponent's situation is clear at a glance.

Without the sailors, the whole ship seems to be empty!

When the other ship passed by the port side of the Zhanlang, Aldrich finally saw the figure of a sailor on the stern deck.

He swayed around on the deck, he didn't look like a living person at all!

The sailors of Zhanlang had a lot of discussion, and finally someone couldn't help but shouted: "Hey! Sailors over there!"

The sound seemed to wake him up, and the sailor stopped and slowly raised his head.

"Forehead!"

"What is that!"

On the raised head, all the skin seemed to melt, flowing like water.

Suddenly, the corners of this weird figure's disgusting mouth twitched, as if he was laughing, and then slapped it on the ground with a 'crack', and the whole figure turned into fleshy mud like no bones!

"damn it!"

"What is this!"

"what!!!"

The sailors were really frightened this time, and everyone's expressions changed, and they were uneasy.

Aldridge shouted: "What's it called! That person was just poisoned!"

The sailors suddenly quieted down and looked at him hesitantly.

Aldrich said coldly: "The helmsman~lightnovelpub.net~ stay away from this dirty ship, don't let this bad luck get on us."

"Yes!"

The helmsman subconsciously turned the rudder to the right and obeyed this order.

Herbert had already reacted, glanced at Aldridge with a little gratitude, and shouted: "What are you looking at! Don't you have work to do?"

The sailors were stunned, but they lost their previous panic and quickly returned to their posts.

"Thank you, Mr. Aldrich," whispered Herbert.

"fine."

Aldridge actually didn't know what the situation was. Just when he was about to ask about the Ring of God in his mind, the panic of the sailors and the confusion of Herbert and Helena made him have to divert their fears.

Otherwise, the sea will not go far, and people's hearts will be scattered.

Speaking of which, this scene seems to have been seen somewhere.
