"That... thank you just now."

Emma looked like a boy. She sat down leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, and said to Andy.

Her sister didn't let her come out to do it today, but Emma wanted to save enough money quickly, so she picked a single pirate who looked drunk, and planned to grab another bag of money to let her sister pick up less guests .

But I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If it wasn't for Andy, I'm afraid she would be killed there by that pirate.

"Your courage is not small. I didn't expect you to really dare to do this."

Andy smiled and looked at Emma leaning against the wall with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"Uh?"

Emma was horrified by Andy's gaze, and she shrank subconsciously, "Why are you looking at me like this? I... can give you half of the bag of money just now."

"I don't need it, but you look very short of money. Can you tell me why?"

Andy didn't have much to do anyway, so he reached Emma's side, threw the jug to her, and listened to other people's stories. Andy liked it the most.

Emma looked down at the jug in her arms with a stunned expression. She raised her head and looked at Andy blankly. Seeing his gaze, she felt that something was about to spew out of her heart, and her eyes turned red. .

"My name is Emma, ​​how about you?"

After Emma finished speaking, her face under the gray stain also turned a little red. Emma was a girl's name, and I don't know if the boy knew it.

"My name is Andy, a professional pirate."

Emma nodded, she had already guessed that although Andy didn't look big, he was very skilled, and he seemed to have a feeling of inexplicable fear that made her feel inexplicably terrified. Coupled with the pirate service, it was not difficult to guess that he was a pirate. .

Because of her sister Mila, Emma doesn't like pirates at all, but Andy didn't punish her for stealing something yesterday, and just helped him, so Emma still has a bit of a favorable impression of Andy so far. .

"Do you usually... make a living by stealing things?"

Andy thought for a while and asked, he had seen many children in Port Louis, most of them were prostitutes and girls who were thrown away after they came down, and then were taken care of by some caring old grandpas or old women who took care of the ranch for the nobles. Pick it up and raise it, and after the old man dies, in order to survive, either join a pirate or become a thief.

Their lives were not very good. They lived in fear every day. If they were caught stealing something, it was inevitable that they would be humiliated or even beaten. Many people were directly beaten to death. This is all too common in pirate ports.

"No, it's not like that."

Emma shook her head. Stealing should be considered extra income for her.

"I usually help make bread at the bakery at the corner of the street, and sometimes I will be recruited to clean the decks of pirate ships. After the tide, I will go to the beach to pick up some shells to make jewelry and sell them to pirate jewelry stores..."

Emma whispered, then sighed.

"But the owner of the bakery was beaten to death by a pirate, and I cleaned the deck for them. Those pirates were unwilling to pay. The owner of the jewelry store was very ill-hearted. I could only exchange a few copper coins for the shells I picked up all afternoon... …”

"So... so I can only steal things."

"Have you never been caught?"

Andy asked curiously, if not, then this Emma is still very clever.

"Yes, yes, I was discovered by a vicious guy once and broke several bones. My sister spent all her savings in order to cure me."

"You still have a sister? Is she the same as you?"

Emma's face stiffened, she shook her head, hugged her legs, and buried her head between her knees.

"She works in the wine... pub."

When Andy saw her, he understood what Emma meant. If Emma's sister was really the owner of the tavern like Anna, she wouldn't be reduced to the point of risking every day to come out to steal things.

Thinking of this, Andy couldn't help but rejoice that he was lucky enough to be bought back by the rich Anna, otherwise he might also become a thief, and he still doesn't know if he can survive.

"Do you have anything you want to do? You can't steal something for a lifetime, right? If you go on like this, you will be beaten to death sooner or later."

"Yes, I have!"

Emma raised her head again, thinking of her dream, showing a hopeful look and smile.

"I hope to buy a small house with a garden outside the town with my sister, raise a few hens that lay eggs, raise a cow that produces milk, and then live my own life without having to face those pirates every day, worry about money."

"that's it?"

Andy's face froze, he didn't expect Emma's dream to be so simple.

"Yeah, it's good to be able to do this."

"That should be very simple, right? Just a few gold coins are not enough?"

Emma stopped talking again. At this time, she was like a little girl, pouting, and said a little aggrieved, "But the boss won't let my sister leave, she is still young and can earn money for many years, unless my sister can give him One hundred gold coins..."

"We saved these hundred gold coins for more than two years, but when I was about to succeed, my bones were broken. My sister spent all the money I saved for me... and after that, that The black-hearted boss also changed the money he took from 60% to 80%."

Because Mila is beautiful~lightnovelpub.net~ and young, a customer can get a silver coin, which is the highest price for a prostitute in the pirate port, but the boss will take 60%, that is to say, she Even if you don't eat or drink, you can only save four of ten customers a day.

One hundred gold coins are one thousand silver coins. How long does it take to save?

Not to mention the need to eat, there is a special time to rest every month...

Originally, after saving for two years, I was able to see the light, but as a result, Emma was caught stealing something and was almost beaten to death.

"Actually, I just wanted to save up the hundred gold coins quickly, but I didn't expect to lose all the money I saved in the past two years..."

Andy was a little speechless. The luck of the sisters is really bad.

"Hey, don't be so sad, one hundred gold coins is just a trifle."

Andy winked at Emma with a mysterious look on his face.

"Can you lend me a hundred gold coins?"

Emma was stunned, and asked in disbelief.

"Of course not, but I have a way. Do you know how much money we pirates can earn when they go out to sea?"

"A few silver coins..."

Emma said weakly, she knew from his sister that those stinky pirates went to sea for more than a month, and they only earned a few silver coins when they came back, one was spent on her sister, and the rest was bought rum or took go gambling.

And it is very dangerous to be a pirate, especially the pirates of Stormwind Sea, who will die in the sea if they are not careful.

As far as making money is concerned, Emma really feels that like her sister, she can earn a few silver coins every day just by lying down, which is much better than a pirate.

"You are talking about the garbage pirates of the garbage pirate ship, not us, hehe, every time we go to sea, we can earn more than ten gold coins!"
