Pirate Company
Chapter 278 The Meaning of Raising
the more you hope, the harder you fall.
The wish came to nothing, and the enthusiasm of the crowd at the port faded away.
They dispersed in twos and threes, and a group of sailors who had just finished a sea exploration, mixed with the leaving crowd, also left together.
They have been away from home for too long and wandered endlessly at sea. They also miss the warmth and food on land. Following memory, a group of sailors walked towards a tavern.
The memories about Iceland are still deep in their bodies, and they continue to use spirits to drive away the cold memories in their bodies.
"Should we continue to fund them?"
"Try again, as long as you don't give up, you can always find other lands in the sea that you can live on."
"Yeah, I'll always find it."
Among the dispersed crowd, they were not lost for too long, and the expectation for the next voyage was once again ignited.
Life on this land is too difficult now, and they always want to give themselves a little hope of surviving.
As long as there is hope, they can grit their teeth and keep going.
This is also the reason why they are unwilling to give up and continue to explore.
When the crowd dispersed, the bustling port suddenly became deserted.
Among the returning sailors, one of them stayed where he was, and did not leave with the crowd, but looked at the departing crowd and raised his hand, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to stop the departure everyone.
After thinking for a long time, this person finally let go of his hand, and did not speak to persuade everyone who left.
The sailor's strange behavior fell into the port, and in the eyes of the man dressed as an aristocrat with a disappointed face, a different look suddenly appeared on his face.
Some hope is better than nothing.
The noble man looked around carefully, then walked up to the sailor who stayed where he was, and said, "I heard just now that you found a new continent at sea, is it true?"
"Of course it's true. We spent a whole winter up there. You're so interesting. Didn't we just say that, and now you're here to ask again." Seeing the aristocratic man in front of him, the sailor looked disbelieving, and his tone was natural It's not much better.
As an excellent sailor, you can question my character, but you cannot question my seamanship.
If no land is found, can we still talk nonsense?
Seeing that the sailor was a little angry, the noble man apologized and said, "You have seen the situation just now, there are too many people. I wanted to go forward, but I didn't have a chance, so I didn't hear clearly."
"Is it really impossible to live in the new continent you found?"
After finishing the last sentence, the noble man had a nervous expression on his face, as if he was afraid that the other party would say the same thing again.
"That small island, it is right to say that it is land. I have been to so many places, and I have never seen a small island as big as that small island." The sailor seemed to recall, and then said: "They said You’re right, Iceland’s winters are really cold.”
"That's it, that's bothering you."
After listening to the sailor in front of him, the aristocratic man said the same words as the sailor before him again, and disappointment was written on his expectant face again.
With a lost figure, the noble man followed the departing crowd.
"He looked very interested just now, but now he looks disappointed. He is really a strange person." Looking at the nobleman who turned his head and was about to leave, the sailor had a look of nostalgia for the good things on his face, and continued to talk to himself. : "Are people so impatient now? I'm leaving before I finish my words. The small island we found is really cold in winter. However, I have never seen such a rich land. Butter drips on the blades of grass"
"What are you talking about, can you tell me everything about that island?"
Said that he turned to leave, but the distance between the noble man and the sailor was only one step. How could he not hear the people behind him talking to themselves.
Hearing the sailor's second sentence, the nobleman turned around abruptly and held the sailor's hand tightly, with obvious excitement on his face.
Disappointed for a moment, then ecstatic at the same time, the sailor was frightened by the quick expression of the nobleman, and thought to himself, maybe I met a lunatic.
Not wanting to stay with the opponent for too long, the sailor increased the strength in his hand and shook it for a while, trying to break free from the opponent's grasping hand.
However, after breaking free for a while, the strength in the opponent's hand was too great. No matter how hard the sailor struggled, the noble man never let go of his hand, and the sailor was in a hurry.
"If you want to go crazy, let me tell you, you are looking for the wrong person. It's not like I haven't seen the life of living at sea for many years."
"I'm the one who got excited, sorry, I'll just let it go."
The aristocratic man felt the strength in the opponent's hand. Hearing the slightly warning words in the opponent's mouth, he suddenly understood that he was too alarmed for a moment, which caused the opponent to misunderstand.
After letting go of his hand, the nobleman straightened his clothes and said, "I am very interested in the small island you mentioned. If possible, can you tell me everything about the island in detail? If you If you still remember how to get to the small island, I am willing to pay a reward, as long as you can take me to the small island you mentioned."
In the end, the aristocratic man put on a cautious look on his face.
It seemed that he was afraid of the sailors in front of him and forgot how to get to that small island.
Seeing the other party's entanglement, the sailor had no choice but to explain the situation on the island to the noble man in front of him in detail. From his mouth, a group of sailors found that the small island called Iceland, except for the cold winter, was good everywhere, with fertile land and beautiful scenery. pretty
The more the sailor talked, the brighter the light in the noble man's eyes became.
The small island described by the sailor was so wonderful that he couldn't help but fascinated him.
Finally, the sailor did not forget to ask: "If I can take you to that small island, will you really give me a good reward?"
"Of course, but there is a small request, only you can take us there alone, no one else."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's set off right away, winter is over, just right for sailing at sea."
This time, it was the sailor's turn to look excited and grabbed the noble man's hand.
"There's no rush for this." Seeing the sailor's attack, the noble man hesitated.
"That's right, sailing on the sea can't be done without a ship." The sailor also felt anxious, and let go of the noble man's hand.
"It's not what you think." The aristocratic man's tone was evasive.
"It's not what I think it is, what is it?" asked the sailor.
When the nobleman saw the sailor pressing him, could it be: "I still have to prepare for the reward, anyway, the next subsidized voyage is still far away, can you wait for me here for a while?"
The more he spoke, the lower the tone of the noble man became.
"I don't have any money, but you still want to go to sea, so go ahead and make your dreams come true. For your unsafe words, I'll just stay here and wait for a while. You don't need to spend money on food and clothing."
Seeing that the noble man had no money, the sailor immediately became unhappy and yelled to leave.
They took great risks to find new living continents for the people time and time again, just to make money.
If he can't make money, he won't stay in one place for too long.
Now there are plenty of people in the Northern Red Earth Continent, and they are willing to subsidize their exploration of the New World.
"It won't take long, just wait for me, I'll be back right away, just a moment."
Finally, seeing the hope of leaving, the noble man said nothing to let the sailor leave. It was best to have no other choice. He took out the little Bailey left on his body and put it in the sailor's hand, so that the other party left without turning around. .
"Don't leave, wait for me"
The noble man trotted all the way, not forgetting to turn his head to remind him, and quickly left the port. Due to the rapid running, there were panting sounds from time to time, but the other party did not stop running at all.
"I don't have a place to go yet, so I'll just wait."
The sailor threw Bailey from his hand and stood where he was.
The behavior of the two fell into the eyes of several people in Zhou Zhou at the port. How could their conversation escape the ears of several people.
After listening to the conversation between the two, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhou Yixian's face.
He decided to wait for the departing person.
Maybe, there are nice surprises.
Zhou Yixian and the others did not go up to talk to the sailors, but stood nearby, waiting for the departing nobles together.
"Great, he hasn't left yet, it's him who said he found a nice island."
"Hoo hoo."
About an hour later, the noble man who had left before ran back again. Behind him, there was another person carrying a huge and sharp sword, who was not easy to provoke at first glance.
"Is it you who discovered the island?"
The tall, strong man with the sword on his back ran up to the sailor, without caring about anything else, just grabbed the sailor, fearing that the sailor would run away.
"Let it go, you don't want to pay, and you plan to use threats to fail. Let me tell you, it's not like I haven't met people in the market. I won't take you to the island if I don't give you money."
The sailor pretended to be calm and warned the man in front of him with the big sword on his back.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, as long as you are willing to take us to the small island you found." The sturdy man with a big sword on his back comforted the sailor.
However, from his words, it is not difficult to hear that if the sailor is unwilling, the result may not be easy to say.
"It's not that I don't want to take you there, but that if we want to find the small island before, we must sail at sea for a period of time. We don't have enough supplies. If we don't find the small island, we will have to starve to death at sea." The sailor hurriedly explained.
Facing the man with the sword in front of him, he shouldn't have used the same tough tone he used when talking to noble men.
"It's easy to talk about the money. Let's go to raise money first. You can stay here and wait for us for a while."
The man with the sword, with an unquestionable tone, glanced at the sailor and was about to leave.
"Hehe. When pirates go to sea to raise funds, it's not so easy. If you die at sea, will I still wait for you?"
The sailor told the other party straight away about the so-called "raising", and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In the dictionary of the Vikings, raising is synonymous with robbing. People who live in the red earth continent, who would not know the meaning of what the other party said.
