Codex Pirates

Chapter 54 Secret Discussion

Crowe can be said to have lost face in front of the entire pirate group, and Barbarossa only chose to comfort Crowe for Hayreddin's behavior, and did not punish Hayreddin to take care of Crowe's face. Not even if it's an act.

Although Barbarossa is not as irritable and irritable as the image of the legendary pirate captain, he is not a corporal and a humble leader. He is a pirate, a big pirate, nothing more, Not too interested in taking care of Crowe's feelings.

If Barbarossa was unwilling to indulge Hayreddin's temper, he would have punished this restless thug long ago, and now he will not make an exception because of Crowe.

Crowe can only swallow the humiliation in his stomach, and he can't show any blatant resentment, otherwise he will suffer more.

...

After wandering in the sea for a long time, the ship finally landed.

The capital of the Kingdom of Navia, near Kalmar City, the Redbeard Pirates put away their pirate flag, carefully avoided the hidden reef under the cover of night, and gradually sailed into a hidden private port along the sea breeze, throwing a heavy anchor.

In the darkness, only the outline of a pier could be vaguely seen. Reis led a few old pirates overturned the boat neatly. After a while, several torches were lit near the pier, piercing the dark night.

William looked around with the light. The private port was a little rough. It could be seen that it was originally a good natural port, surrounded by rocks, which was both concealed and good for shelter from the wind. It was not far from the royal city of Kalmar. There was a hill at the entrance. When moored, it can be used as a sentry.

The only disadvantage may be that there is no space, and the port has only undergone simple construction, which is very crude.

Every once in a while, the Redbeard Pirates will park near Kalmar City for a few days. On the one hand, they let a group of men fighting at sea return to the bustling city to vent, and on the other hand, they also want to replenish their supplies.

Living materials such as food and water may be replenished in local villages and towns, but weapons and ammunition can only be obtained here.

However, Wangcheng is no better than the countryside. Even the mighty Redbeard Pirates in the East China Sea can't run amok. They can only pretend to sneak into the city. Fortunately, they have internal support in the city, and the internal force is not small.

There was a simple warehouse on the pier, which could barely shelter some wind and rain. The pirates moved some of the goods looted on the ship, such as tea, tobacco, and other things they couldn't handle. Under Sa's arrangement, they were approved to go to the city to rest in batches.

Perhaps because as a reserve navigator, William's status has been slightly improved, and he was also arranged in the list of the first round of shore rest.

To be honest, during this period of sea voyage, apart from stopping for a while to replenish fresh water on some uninhabited deserted islands, the Redbeard Pirates hardly ever went ashore. It is a pleasure to rest for a while on the shore.

After going ashore, William didn’t seem lonely around him. He stayed on the ship for a while. The whole ship was so big. The crew living here met each other every day for cleaning the deck, meeting each other for eating, and even meeting each other when going to the toilet. , A group of people is not so much a life, it is better to say that they are trapped on the same ship, as long as they are deliberate, it is easy to make friends with the crew.

William's skills are good, and he also masters navigation, which is a very important skill on board. In addition, he usually has a straightforward appearance with no intentions. He is very popular on board, so many old pirates suggested to go find him together. Lezi, it's a world of difference from Crowe, who was alone after getting off the boat.

The city of Kalmar was surrounded by walls, so William was a little worried when he entered the city, but after the soldiers guarding the city gate threw a pack of jingling bags at the leader Reis, he let these strong men who were obviously not kind up.

After a group of pirates entered the city, they got together in twos and threes, or sang songs, or discussed loudly about finding a few wandering warblers to accompany them, and quickly dispersed to find places to vent their excess energy.

A few old pirates discussed where to find Liuying, and even called William to go with them, but he refused shyly.

William was an old driver in his previous life, proficient in various car repairing postures, and he was actually a little jealous of a group of departed pirates, but when he thought of the various infectious diseases that spread around the world with sailors in the era of great voyages in his memory, he shuddered , not to mention there is business to do.

William wandered around the city alone, looking aimless, scurrying around in the streets and alleys, occasionally pretending not to know the way, asking passers-by how to get to a certain place, but actually always observing whether anyone was following him.

It was not until he was sure that there was no one behind him that he wandered to an unremarkable tavern. After entering, he scanned the hall and found that there were no pirates from the Redbeard Pirates before he walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The doors on the second floor were tightly closed. William stood in the corridor and looked around. He took out the phone bug "Watson" that he had been keeping close to him these days, and said, "I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, an originally closed door on the second floor opened with a creak, and William walked over quickly without hesitation.

After he entered the room, Edmund looked behind the door to see that there was no one outside, then closed the door, and then leaned against the door to prevent others from eavesdropping while resisting the door.

Sherlock and Aramis, who were originally sitting at the table, got up almost together and greeted them.

"William."

"Sherlock."

William and Sherlock, two partners who hadn't seen each other for a long time, hugged each other lightly, and Aramis naturally moved a chair behind William.

Edmund, Aramis, and Sherlock seemed very bold when they came to Kalmar City, but after careful consideration, they were not as dangerous as they seemed.

Although the city is in the enemy's sphere of influence, as the victor, and the victory was so perfect, the opponent will inevitably look down on people like William. From the time Walloon and Edmond were attacked to the present, so long From the performance of the Redbeard Pirates and the attitude of the city guards, it can be seen that their enemies seem to have left them behind.

It was actually very easy for Edmund and others to infiltrate Kalmar City. It was William's cautious character that made it into the current underground party joint.

As soon as William was seated, Sherlock couldn't wait to say: "It should be the Buendia family and its owner, Arcadio, who are related to the Redbeard Pirates."

William lit a cigarette, then signaled to stop talking, and Sherlock, who let him digest the information, continued.

Shylock continued: "The Buendia family is a nobleman who has passed down the Navia Kingdom for a hundred years, and Arcadio himself is the Minister of Finance, and he also has the title of earl, ranking first among the four ministers of state."

"Big man..." William blew out a smoke ring, his tone somewhat sarcastic.
