Chapter 125 – Unexpected Discoveries
Chapter 125 – Unexpected Discoveries
Since that time after being knocked out, when Allen went to deliver food again, the girl’s attitude towards him seemed to be different from before, although her face was still a wooden one that could not be seen, but every time she would say thank you to him.
Alan had tried to communicate with her, but every time he asked, the girl’s response was either a nod or a shake of the head, so he didn’t have the heart to continue.
There was only one more exception, that day after he put down his food, the girl suddenly stared at him and asked, “Would you like to be my friend?”
Alan was taken aback, he thought the other girl would only say “thank you”.
“Of course.” He replied, sweating profusely.
“Thank you!” Those two words again.
As the days passed, everyone seemed to have gotten used to their slavery, and Allen himself stopped wondering how to escape every moment.
On the day of the 17th, before dawn, a large number of slaves were woken up from their sleep, and the pirates ferociously ordered them to go to the docks to work, and even teenage slaves like Allen, Tom, and Pine were driven there.
The dock area was a natural sheltered harbor, where the Mud Loach Pirates had built a variety of facilities.
When Allen arrived here, he found that there were already many slaves carrying all kinds of supplies onto the ship.
Even though the children, including Allen and the others, were still underage, the pirates did not give them special care because of their age, and they were similarly ordered to go over and work, carrying some scattered supplies onto the ship.
After a few hours of tossing and turning, the sun rose and they saw the full view of the dock area, only to see a full dozen boats gathered here. Having been captured on the island for so long, it was the first time they had ever seen pirates put up such a big show.
Hundreds of pirates gathered on the docks, they all looked excited and scrambled to climb into their respective boats, there were also a large number of slaves who acted as oarsmen who were also caught up to the boats, once they got into their respective positions, they would be securely located on the boats by chains to prevent them from escaping.
Not all of the oarsmen were filled by slaves though, and quite a few were done by newcomer pirates who had just joined.
The pirates raised the skull and crossbones flag, started the ship, and quickly sailed away from the dock.
“Get back to where you were and continue what you were doing! Don’t try to hang around and be lazy on the beach!”
The overseers immediately came over with their whips to disperse the slaves, ordering them to go back to their original jobs.
Alan and the others took a few fond glances at the scenery of the seashore and turned around to head back to the original camp.
He and his fellow villagers, Tom and Pine, along the way they whispered about what the pirates were up to.
“I tell ye oh, I heard a drunken pirate babbling earlier, vaguely saying he was going to do battle with the Arda Navy ……”
Pyne told his two companions with a mysterious face.
Alan asked, “Alda? Isn’t that that earldom to the north of us?”
“Aye aye! It’s the same Arda that’s recently been called a pirate sanctuary!”
Tom, who was at the side, said, “I heard from the adults that the lord of Alda has rounded up 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 the Northwest Bay, the Shark Pirate Group and the Quake Pirate Group, have all been planted in Alda.”
“It is said that the lord there is not older than us by a few years.”
“So, the pirates on this island are going to mess with Alda? What guts.”
“Lord of Light, our Father in heaven, please bless the Alda people so that they can destroy this gang of unruly pirates and save us in the process.”
So powerful ah, listening to the words of the two companions, Allen’s heart sighed for a while, people living in Arda must be very happy, after all, there is a powerful lord sheltering them, they can not worry about the invasion of pirates.
“Hey! What are you guys muttering about?”
The pirate who was watching over them bellowed at them, scaring the three into a shiver and hastily shutting their mouths.
……
Just shortly after Allen and the others left, a small boat sailed into the harbor and docked at the pier.
The pirate standing guard recognized that it was his own ship, but it seemed that some time ago, along with the sailors on board, it was gifted to a certain big shot, and he immediately called out to his top boss.
Soon, a man who wrapped himself tightly in a black cloak walked off the ship.
The little chief who was called out to him took one look at the face underneath the hood and immediately changed to a look of respect as he carefully bowed towards the other and softly greeted, “Master Barnett, you are here.”
A slightly hoarse voice came out from the hood, “Well, take me to your chief.”
The pirate leader said with slight difficulty, “It’s a bad time for you to come, our chief led the fleet out early in the morning, but if you’re in a hurry to see him, I’ll send a fast ship to chase him back, uh …… if I can find him.” Barnett waved his hand and said, “No need, I’ve come on this trip to deliver something to you, not specifically to find him.”
Then he gave the name of another man, with whom Gaden had then made an appointment to take up the matter if he himself was absent from the island.
“Ah! This one remains on the island; I will take you to him.”
The person responsible for receiving Barnett for Gaden was an old pirate with gray hair and fitted with a wooden leg prosthesis, at first glance it was a wise-guy type of character, Barnett handed over the medicine he had brought to this old pirate.
The old pirate thank you a thousand times, as the chief Gaden rely on the heart, he knows that his family pirate group can develop and grow to this point today, with the mysterious character in front of him has a lot to do.
The wizard lightly and he talked a few words after a few words on the sea, suggesting that some of their own bumps in the sea after some labor, sophisticated old pirate can see that the other side does not want to talk in depth, they asked Barnett to rest for a while before leaving, and then dismissed.
When he left, he instructed the pirate leader who led Barnett over to take care of this master.
Pirate leader turned his eyes, this is a good opportunity to show their own ah, this mysterious character named Barnett but even the chief see are polite characters, he personally saw Gaden in front of this person’s appearance, and usually is simply a different person.
“How should I please this lord?” The pirate leader racked his brain and kept thinking.
“Ha! I’ve got it!” He hammered his hand and came up with a “brilliant” idea.
……
In an elegant room, Barnett was resting his eyes when there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
“Master Barnett, it’s the little one.”
He remembered that the voice was that of the little leader who had just brought him here.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and the little leader bowed and walked in with a fawning face.
“Can I help you?”
“Hehehe, Master. It’s been a hard journey with the winds and waves, so I’m here to honor you with two gifts to relieve you of your fatigue.”
The little chief called out to the door, “All come in.”
Then in came two women, one tall and one short.
The taller woman was only of medium stature, but had a good figure and was full of nervousness.
The short woman, no, should be said to be the girl, looks very cute, but is not to see what expression, two eyes empty looking ahead.
Barnett immediately understood what this pirate wanted to do.
“This bunch of asshole pirates! What do they take me for?”
He couldn’t help but burst into a rage in his heart, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot, stretching out his own arm all at once.
Just as the little leader was about to fall on his ass, Barnett suddenly stopped moving.
The wizard’s eyes rested on the girl, something about the girl appealed to him, something that was the same as him, and his companions.
The arm that had been about to deliver the fatal blow extended a finger, pointing at the girl.
“She stays, you take the other one.”
The little leader who still didn’t know that he had turned around at the gates of hell smiled lewdly, “Heh heh, Master’s tastes are truly unique.”
Barnett glared at him, “Get lost!”
“Yes yes yes! I’ll get lost, you enjoy it slowly.”
Thinking that Barnett was impatient, the little leader immediately closed the door of the room and led the tall woman away with quick steps.
“Bah! What a master, still not the same virtue as us mere mortals.” He spat in his heart.
