Since being knocked out that time, when Alan went to deliver food again, the girl's attitude towards him seemed to be different from before. Although her face was still blank with no expression, she would always say thank you to him every time .

Allen tried to communicate with her, but every time he asked a question, the girl either nodded or shook her head in response, which made him unable to continue talking.

There was only one exception. After he put down the food that day, the girl suddenly stared at him and asked, "Would you like to be my friend?"

Allen was taken aback, he thought the other party could only say "thank you".

"Of course I would." He replied sweating profusely.

"Thank you!" These two words again.

Days passed, and everyone seemed to have gotten used to their slave status, and Allen himself no longer thought about how to escape all the time.

On the 17th, before dawn, a large number of slaves were awakened from their sleep, and the pirates fiercely ordered them to work on the pier, and even young slaves like Allen, Tom, and Pine were driven there.

The dock area is a natural safe haven, and the Loach Pirates have built various facilities here.

When Allen arrived here, he found that many slaves were already carrying various supplies onto the ship.

Although the children, including Alan, were underage, the pirates did not give them special care because of their age. They were also ordered to go to work and carry some scattered supplies onto the ship.

After a few hours of tossing, the sun rose, and they saw the entire scene of the dock area, and saw a dozen or so boats gathered here. After being captive to the island for so long, it was the first time they had seen pirates put up such a big battle.

Hundreds of pirates gathered on the pier. They looked very excited and rushed to board their respective ships. There were also a large number of slaves who served as oarsmen. After they entered their positions, they They will be firmly chained to the ship to prevent them from escaping.

However, not all oarsmen are slaves, and many are newcomer pirates who have just joined the gang.

The pirates raised the skull flag, started the ship, and quickly left the dock.

"Go back to where you were and continue your work! Don't even think about lounging around the beach!"

The overseers immediately came to disperse the slaves with whips and ordered them to go back to their original work.

Allen and the others reluctantly took a few glances at the seaside scenery, then turned and walked to the original camp.

Along the way, he and Tom and Pine from the same village were discussing in low voices what the pirates were up to.

"Let me tell you, I heard a drunk pirate talking nonsense before, vaguely saying that he was going to fight with the Arda Navy..."

Pine told the two companions with a mysterious face.

Allen asked: "Arda? Isn't that the earldom to the north of us?"

"Yes, yes! It's the Arda that was recently called the Pirate Forbidden Land!"

Tom on the side said: "I heard from adults that the lord of Arda has hunted down a large number of pirates in the past six months."

"Since the disappearance of the great pirate Edward, the two most powerful pirate groups in Northwest Bay—the Shark Pirates and the Quake Pirates—have all fallen in Arda."

"It is said that the lord there is not much older than us."

"So, the pirates on this island are going to provoke Arda? How bold."

"Lord of light, our heavenly father, I beg you to bless the people of Arda, so that they can destroy this gang of vicious pirates and save us by the way."

It's amazing. Listening to the words of the two companions, Allen sighed in his heart. People living in Arda must be very happy. After all, there is a powerful lord protecting them, so they don't have to worry about pirates' invasion.

"Hey! What are you mumbling about?"

The pirate guarding them yelled at them, the three of them trembled in fright, and quickly shut up.

…

Not long after Allen and the others left, a small boat sailed into the harbor and docked at the pier.

The pirates on guard recognized that it was their own ship, but it seemed that some time ago, the sailors on the ship were given to someone important, so he immediately called for his immediate superior.

Soon, a man wrapped himself tightly in a black cloak stepped off the boat.

The little boss who was called over looked at the face under the hood, and immediately changed into a respectful expression. He bowed carefully to the other party, and greeted softly: "Master Barnett, you are here."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the hood: "Well, take me to meet your leader."

The pirate leader said with a little embarrassment: "What a coincidence that you came, our leader led the fleet out early in the morning, but if you are in a hurry to see him, I will send a fast boat to chase him back, er …if you can find it."

Barnett waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm here to deliver something to you, not a special trip to find him."

Then he reported another person's name. At that time, Garden made an appointment with him. If he was not on the island, he would be in charge of contacting him.

"Ah! This one is still on the island, I will take you to meet him right away."

The person in charge of receiving Barnett for Garden was an old pirate with gray hair and wooden leg prosthetics. At first glance, he looked like a think tank. Barnett handed over the medicine he brought to this old pirate.

The old pirate is very grateful. As the confidant of the leader Garden, he knows that the development and growth of his pirate group to this point has a lot to do with this mysterious figure in front of him.

After a few casual conversations with him, the wizard hinted that he was a little tired after a rough ride at sea. The sophisticated old pirate could see that the other party didn't want to talk deeply, so he asked Barnett to rest for a while before leaving. , and quit.

Before leaving, he told the pirate leader who brought Barnett to take good care of the master.

The pirate leader rolled his eyes. This is a good opportunity to express himself. This mysterious person named Barnett is a person who is polite even to the leader. He has personally seen Garden in front of this person. In peacetime, they are like two different people.

"How to please this lord?" The pirate leader racked his brains and kept thinking.

"Ha! Got it!" He hammered his palm and thought of a "brilliant" idea.

…

In an elegant room, Barnett was resting with his eyes closed when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Master Barnett, it's a small one."

He remembered that the voice belonged to the little boss who brought him here just now.

"Come in~lightnovelpub.net~ The door opened, and the little boss bowed in obsequiously.

"Is there a problem?"

"Hey, master. The wind and waves along the way have worked hard, and I specially present two gifts to relieve your fatigue."

The little boss shouted out the door: "Come in."

Then came in two women, one tall and one short.

The tall woman was only of average height, but she had a good figure and a nervous expression on her face.

The short woman, no, it should be said to be a girl, looks very cute, but she doesn't show any expression, her eyes are staring blankly ahead.

Barnett immediately understood what the pirate wanted to do.

"The **** pirates! What do they take me for?"

He couldn't help but fly into a rage in his heart, and he was about to explode on the spot, and stretched out his arm all at once.

Just when the little boss was about to suffer bad luck, Barnett suddenly stopped moving.

The wizard's eyes rested on the girl. There was something about the girl that attracted him, something like him and his companions.

The arm that was supposed to deliver the fatal blow stretched out a finger, pointing at the girl.

"She stays, you take the other one away."

The little leader who didn't know that he had walked around the gate of **** smiled obscenely: "Hey, the master's taste is really unique."

Barnett glared at him: "Get lost!"

"Yes yes yes! I'm leaving now, you enjoy it slowly."

The little boss thought that Barnett was impatient, so he immediately closed the door and led the tall woman away quickly.

"Bah! What a master, isn't he just as virtuous as ordinary people like us." He spat secretly in his heart.
