Chapter 23 A Servant Worth Three Thousand Pounds

"Captain, the Red Skull has escaped!"

A sailor burst into the captain's cabin.

"Run away?" Elland raised his binoculars and looked suspiciously at the calm sea, just in time to see the "Red Skull" disappearing into the sky.

He frowned, not understanding why there was such a development.

In his view, the armed forces of the "White Agate" must not be able to scare off the Red Skull pirates directly. Tough bones, not daring to be entangled for a long time, so the ending of reason retreating.

Could it be that the "Red Skull" was just passing by and had no intention of looting? However, if they are not looting, what are they doing in this waterway? This is the place that is most likely to be blocked by naval fleets and church ships. Even when the Four Kings and Seven Generals passed through the nearby waters, they would try to keep a low profile... Elland was full of doubts and felt that things were not that simple.

Caution saves one from disaster, one cannot be careless... Elland put away his yellow-brown binoculars and walked back and forth a few steps.

He half raised the sea and said:

"Docked at Bansy Port tonight.

"Report the encounter with the pirates to the navy and church."

According to the normal plan, the next stop of the "White Agate" will be the port of Tiana, and it will take about three days to arrive at the speed of 3 knots. After leaving the port of Tiana, it will go directly to the final destination Rorsted The capital of the archipelago, Bayam, the city of generosity.

And there is a faster sailing way from Pritz Harbor to Bayam, that is, there is only one stopover at Bansi Port, 20 nautical miles away from Damir Port.

"The Red Skull really left?" Donna's father, Uldi Blanche, walked to the window and looked into the distance.

Cleves nodded quietly and said:

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sailor's shout came from outside:

"Danger removed! Danger removed!"

After hearing the official confirmation, Donna and Denton finally relaxed and had the courage to come to the window and look at the situation outside.

"Are the Red Skull Pirates very powerful?" Donna opened her eyes wide.

Looking for the ship that has gone away.

"Very powerful. Net" Cleves gave his own answer.

"How powerful is it?" Denton asked immediately.

The bodyguard on the other side, Teague, cut his hair and said with a smile:

"Even if you don't count the artillery and hundreds of pirates on board, just the captain Johansson and the first mate Anderson are very powerful.

"Anderson is nicknamed 'One-Eyed', and the reward in the kingdom is 500 pounds. With the addition of everyone in this room and the help of a few sailors, we may be able to defeat him in the encounter, and the nickname 'Sea Johansson of the Wolf can easily deal with such opponents, if they board the ship, no one can resist the Sea Wolf, and his bounty is a full 900 pounds, close to 1,000 pounds!"

"Is that a lot?" Donna was shocked by the power of "Sea Wolf" and "One-Eyed", and surprised by their bounty.

In her impression, her father's annual income is a full 500 pounds!

"A lot, this is the bounty that they or their heads can directly exchange for. The items on their bodies and the things they looted also belong to you. The kingdom will buy them at market prices, and you still have the opportunity to get them from other countries. The bounty." Cecil explained next to him, "At sea, the pirates with a bounty of more than 300 pounds are quite powerful, and those with a bounty close to or more than 1,000 pounds will be famous in the sea area where they are at least. It refers to large areas such as the Sunya Sea and the Misty Sea."

"So, the Four Kings and Seven Generals belong to the Five Seas Famous?" Tang Na asked innocently.

Cleves responded earnestly:

"Yes."

"Then, the Red Skull Pirates are well-known throughout the Sonia Sea?" Donna asked logically.

"Yes." Teague nodded.

"But why are they running?" Donna blinked.

"It doesn't have to be running..." Cecil himself didn't quite understand the reason.

Cleves looked out of the window again, with a slightly "Sichuan" forehead:

"Maybe there are other reasons. Maybe they didn't want to rob at all this time, but just met."

other reasons? Donna suddenly had a guess in her wild imagination.

Could it be Uncle Sparrow's gentle messenger as tall as a house that scared them away? Uh-huh! It's really scary! Donna's mind was like boiling water, bubbling and bubbling.

Excitedly, she turned her head and looked down, only to find that her younger brother Denton's eyes were also bright.

The two of them pursed their mouths indiscriminately, and immediately realized that the other party was thinking about the same as themselves.

"Let's go out to blow the wind, it's on this floor." Tang Na found an excuse, and pulled her brother out of Room 305.

Once outside, Denton said in a low voice:

"We're going to Uncle Sparrow?"

"The answer is correct!" Donna smiled energetically, "I saw him enter 32 before."

…………

32 rooms.

"Blazing Flame" Danitz, who no longer mentioned "Vice Admiral Iceberg", looked at the "Red Skull" that turned the bow again, and said with a smile:

"They must have been frightened by the declaration of the giant navy ship's cannon and the news that the pirate group was destroyed before, so they ventured into this channel to plunder, hoping to earn enough money early and leave the sea.

"Oh, so what if there are giant ships and cannons? The navy and the church have many powerful things, and they have always existed, and it has not caused the situation that we cannot continue to be pirates. We can always escape if we can't fight head-on, right? They can't keep fighting for Those merchant ship escorts?

"I know that ironclad ships are getting bigger and bigger, and the steam turbines installed will be more and more powerful. One day, the speed will break through 8 knots, 20 knots. Once they are bitten by them, they can only wait to be caught up. But the sea It’s so vast, even tens of thousands of boats can’t fill a single corner, and there are still many unexplored sea areas, so if you do something, hide in those places, although it’s dangerous, there are also opportunities.”

This guy really is the talkative type... Don't you think a crazy adventurer doesn't care about these things at all? Klein withdrew his gaze and scanned the room.

His gaze finally landed on his leather suitcase, and he raised his chin there:

"Wash the dirty clothes inside."

Danitz, who was about to make a long speech, froze for a moment, wishing he could burn the whole boat down.

He felt like his anger was gushing out like steam, pushing against the floodgates called reason.

Danitz opened his mouth, took a breath, opened his mouth again, and took a breath.

His blushing face eased, and he asked without a smile:

"Is it all?"

"Just brush the coat if it's dirty." Klein was almost amused by the other party's performance of suppressing his anger, thinking that this was the treatment Danis deserved after he snatched the innocent.

——In the suitcase are the clothes he changed and washed last night. Because he was a little lazy, he only rubbed his underwear for the time being.

Calm down, don't get out of control, calm down, don't get out of control... Danitz warned himself a few words in succession, walked to Gehrman Sparrow's suitcase, opened it, and took out the clothes that needed to be cleaned.

He had just started working in the bathroom when he heard the doorbell jingle.

Klein opened the door and found that it was Donna and Danton.

"Uncle Sparrow, didn't I bother you?" Donna's eyes rolled from side to side.

"No." Klein stepped aside.

The two little guys entered the room, and saw Danitz washing clothes in surprise.

"Where's the servant?" Denton asked subconsciously.

"No." Klein answered for Danis.

Donna said in a slightly confused way:

"But the first-class cabin has its own laundry maid, and the fee is calculated by barrel."

Before she finished speaking, Danitz froze.

He was so angry before that he forgot about it.

Danitz flicked the water droplets off his hands, turned around, squeezed out a smile, and said to Gehrman Sparrow:

"May I ask the laundry maid for help?"

Klein didn't have to see the malice of the other party's embarrassment, he smiled and said:

"I only recognize the result."

Phew, Danitz was visibly relieved.

The question and answer between the two made Tang Na feel something was wrong, the little girl said suspiciously:

"Uncle Sparrow, aren't you friends? He, why doesn't he look the same as before!"

Klein found a chair and sat down, without making a fuss, he said flatly:

"To be precise, he is my prisoner of war."

"Prisoner?" Denton looked left and right in a daze, not remembering any conflict between the two uncles.

Tang Na was puzzled at first, then her heart moved, and she asked cheerfully:

"He is, is he a pirate?"

"Hmm." Klein nodded slightly.

"The Red Skull Pirates were also scared away by Uncle Sparrow?" Donna asked excitedly.

Klein glanced at Danitz, and replied expressionlessly:

"It is."

Donna was extremely satisfied when all her doubts were answered. She glanced at Danis and unconsciously lowered her voice:

"Uncle Sparrow, does he have a name? No, does he have a reward?"

Do not! I can't let people know that I have had such an experience! Danitz opened his mouth and answered first:

"My name is Ziggy!"

At this time, Klein said lightly:

"Danitz."

"Danitz..." Donna and Denton looked at each other without asking further questions.

The siblings took their leave not long after staying. They always felt that the pirate's eyes were fierce.

Back in Room 305, seeing Dad and Uncle Cleves were still discussing, Donna interjected innocently:

"A lot of people were discussing pirates just now. Did you mention Danis? Is he very powerful?"

"Danitz...'Blame' Danis, he is the subordinate of 'Vice Admiral Iceberg', the fourth bosun of the 'Golden Dream'..." Cleves simply replied.

Having said that, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes retracted, as if he was remembering something.

The pirate general's subordinates... Donna asked curiously:

"How much reward does he have?"

Cleves returned to normal, and said in a low voice:

"3000 pounds."

Three, three thousand pounds? Donna's and Denton's mouths opened little by little, almost forgetting to close them.

The captain of the Red Skull only offered a reward of 900 pounds. The guy who looked like a servant just now was worth 3,000 pounds? The siblings look at me and I look at you, speechless.

…………

In the evening, the White Agate entered the port again.

"Bansey Port? Ireland is very cautious..." Danitz stood by the window, looking at the already dark port and the tall lighthouse.

Before Klein could respond, he smiled to himself:

"There seem to be some bad legends here."
