Never Fade Skull Flag

Chapter 13: coming storm (1)

Andy placed a few turtle shells on the oak barrel at random, in a mess. Because it was a new-born turtle, the shell was not big, only the size of a bottle stopper. Andy held the feather of a seagull in his hand and said something in his mouth. something.

A black light flashed in his eyes, the feathers fell off his hands, floated on top of the turtle shell, and fell down after a while.

"Sure enough, I said that just leaving the port would not be so unlucky to encounter a storm."

Andy put things away. Seagulls are more sensitive to storms at sea, so the feathers of black seagulls can help wizards perform divination. If the floating feathers fly away, it proves that there will be a storm soon, and if the feathers fall, there will be a storm soon. , it is a sunny and sunny day.

"It's a bit boring, and I don't know when I'll meet sea beasts."

Andy hopes that the Goddess of Despair will encounter sea beasts, not those poor armed merchant ships. Although Andy does not reject the behavior of pirates, but if it is not necessary to kill, he really does not want to try, and it is said that the Goddess of Despair All prey will be wrecked and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, which seems to be why Zac is called the Son of Despair.

The prey he was staring at, apart from prayer, was nothing but despair.

The sound of breaking waves can be heard in their ears, and the boat is shaking slightly, like a cradle. They are in the embrace of the sea, enjoying the greatest joy in life, exploring.

Andy fell asleep like this. He didn't sleep well last night. He was uneasy, excited, confused, and longing for the unknown.

But now he slept soundly, and even snored slightly, in response to the chirping of the seagulls, he also transformed into a seagull in his dream, flying on the endless sea.

When Andy woke up, it was already evening, Roger woke him up, and everyone ate on the deck together.

Fresh flour bread, cured cheese, bacon and freshly caught herring, some vegetables and an apple and banana.

Of course, Andy also held a "drink" in the fresh water bucket soaked in lemons, which is said to bring good luck to the sailors and keep diseases away.

In terms of food, Zac is still very generous, and the crew of the Goddess of Despair does not need to eat moldy bread and broken meat like other pirates with a hard life.

Although they chose to be pirates because of their poverty, when they became a member of the Goddess of Despair, poverty was far away from them. The reason why they are still pirates now is that they have become accustomed to this unrestrained life.

However, in fact, only the pirates on these big pirate ships are like this. The life of ordinary pirates is still very difficult, which makes them more and more vicious. Most of them become pirates not for exploration, but for making money. One fortune and then go home and live a good life, because their pirate career was really unsatisfactory.

When they have the ability, they are faced with a choice.

One is to go home and buy a manor and marry a wife.

The second is to join a more powerful pirate ship in search of true freedom.

Andy had a very happy dinner and mingled with a group of sailors. Although these guys looked very rude, Andy still found everyone's cuteness.

Even Buck, the stinky mouth, and Andy turned a few circles, arm in arm. The sailors sang pirate songs together, beat the wooden barrels together, made the drum beats together, and burrowed into the depths of the ocean.

When it got dark, Andy ushered in the first night of his sailing life.

The noisy pirates left the deck, and they were going to gamble again. Andy politely declined Buck's offer to invite him to gamble. The **** man also wanted to get Andy's other barrel of rum. .

There were more than a dozen sailors on the deck, and they were lucky enough to be assigned to work at night without having to bear the scorching sun.

But their work is not easy. Who knows what will be waiting for them on the dark sea?

The sailors were leaning against the ropes and laughing at each other, but their eyes kept scanning to make sure nothing was approaching around the hull.

Hawkeye went to the observation deck, and he did not worry about handing over the heavy task of watching at night to the new guy.

Although this channel has been traveled several times, and although there are no hidden reefs or small protruding islands, we still have to be wary of whether there will be any fellows with black flags suddenly appearing in the surrounding darkness.

After the revelry of the dinner party, Andy returned to the hut and sat on the small wooden board for a while before gradually calming down. He had never tried to sing and dance with a group of pirates, even in Anna's bar.

This was a novel experience, which made Andy quite satisfied.

Unfortunately, Zack didn't show up.

Andy also wanted to see what the one-eyed Zack danced with the pirates. Andy stood up gently and put his ear against the wooden wall of the captain's room. There was no sound in the next room, as if no one was there.

"Mysterious captain, he must have his own secrets."

Andy thought, how can he become the captain without a secret? How to deter someone like Roger, Andler?

Andy sat on the small wooden board, chanting a spell silently in his mouth. He is a wizard, but his magic power is still too weak and needs enough time to grow.

I don't know how long it took before Andy opened his eyes. Through the skylight, he could see countless stars shining under the dark night sky.

The deep sea leads to darkness, and the sparkling waves reflect the moonlight from time to time, and just like that, Andy slept.

For half a month, Andy came here like this.

He practiced swordsmanship against Roger every morning, then learned to fight with bare hands, bickered with Buck at meals, and went fishing with Hawkeye in the afternoon. He was used to this kind of life.

In half a month, Zach only appeared twice, standing on the deck looking at the sea, UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn't know what he was thinking, and there was no crew to disturb, it seemed that they had long been used to it.

But Andy still noticed that when Zach looked at the sea, there was an unspeakable sadness in one of his eyes.

"Maybe he is missing someone."

Andy didn't know Zach, but he still felt that he might be missing a woman with that emotion.

For this reason, he also went to Roger, but Roger didn't tell him, and even Buck didn't dare to talk about the captain casually. In the end, it was Andler's words that aroused his curiosity.

"Andy, you'd better stop asking. It's not a good thing to remind the captain of sad things."

"I just want to know the hidden story here."

Andy spread his hands, as if the captain could hold me.

"Your curiosity is too heavy, and this is not a good thing."

"Let's reveal a little."

"Well, all I can say is that it was a sad story about a mermaid."

Andler whispered softly beside Andy's ear.

"Andler, you seem to be talking too much."

Zach's voice sounded, and the two suddenly turned around, only to find that Zach was watching them not far away.

"Sorry, Captain, ha, the weather is really nice today, what am I going to do? By the way, I should go to the bagpipes!"

Andler hurriedly ran away, not daring to look Zach in the eyes.

"Little guy, if you sense a storm, remember to come to me."

Zach didn't say anything, and turned back to the captain's room.

"What a mysterious and powerful captain! Could he hear our conversation in the captain's room?"

Andy sighed in admiration and went back to his hut. He really wanted to do another divination.
