48 Hours a Day

Chapter 100: Black Sail (5)

Pirates of great stature looked up to Marvin and picked an eyebrow, "Are you a cook? ”

No wonder Marvin was dressed a little too far from the cook, the farmer's son still looked superior, with a wig, cuffs and neck embroidered with a lace, and a coat sewn tight to his waist, but now he had white silk stockings on his feet, and those beautiful boots were counted among the trophies when he searched his body.

He nodded tirelessly, “I... my mother owns a small hotel in Canterbury, and I help when I don't have enough people. ”

Crusty pirates look somewhat suspicious, especially when his eyes flash with contempt as he moves to Marvina's wet crotch.

Marvin obviously also knew that his first impression of each other was not good, and he added, "I cook very well, the cook will ask me when I'm on the boat, if you don't believe me you can ask... those friends, I was in the kitchen when they found me. ”

“That's true.” The two pirates found Zhang Heng and Marvin nodding their heads.

Marvin stared nervously at the pirate, who touched his chin, about half an hour later, and said, “Try it, but I warn you, if it doesn't taste good, or if we eat bad bellies, even if I forgive you, they won't let you go.” As he spoke, he pointed to the pirates around him.

Marvin was busy thanking you.

“Well, gentlemen, the place is full and the recruitment is over. Have a nice trip.” The pirates were ready to leave with the three of them as soon as they were finished.

But just then, behind him, another voice suddenly came.

“Wait.”

The fierce pirate stopped, and he didn't notice Marvin's face suddenly getting nervous when he heard the voice, which looked up at the place where it came from, full of pleading.

Zhang Heng ignored the hint given to him by the farmer's son and got up and said, "I'm in. ”

The risk of drifting at sea is too high, food and water are severely scarce, and if a man chooses to fight, he may choose to do so, but so many people will complicate the situation, let alone keep props on the boat, and he won't be able to get back what he walked through.

Crusty pirates frowned, "I appreciate your enthusiasm, really, but as I said before, there are only three places for this recruit, and now we're full. ”

Faced with the opposite euphemism, Zhang Heng merely said calmly, "Give me a gun. ”

Perhaps it was touched by someone's confidence, or perhaps because of the buzz of the pirates around them, who eventually gave Zhang Heng a short gun.

Zhang Heng received it and checked it a little. After going through the Suffin War script, he also did some homework on guns. Now he's not the little white who didn't know anything about it.

What he holds in his hand today is a firearm, which simplifies the shooting process compared to a firerope gun, uses firecrackers, ignites gunpowder, shoots faster, has less backseat and more precision. It was developed in the mid-16th century and began to be widely distributed among European troops in the late 17th century. The later war of American independence was also the stage for firecrackers.

Ultimately, however, this thing is also a tear of the times, let alone a modern gun, which is worse than the M28 he used in the war in Sufin. The so-called simplification of the shooting process is just relative to a fireline gun, because at this stage the bullets and gunpowder are packed separately, the shooting will take a while to load the bullets and gunpowder, and the range is only about 80 meters.

Zhang Heng watched very carefully. After spending a full minute watching the lively pirates around him, the queer pirate responsible for recruiting people began to show impatience.

At this point, Zhang Heng suddenly raised his short pistol without warning, aiming at Marvin, who was terrified in his heart and thought Zhang Heng was trying to kill him, but the next moment the bullet flew over his ear, hitting the apple core in the hands of a pirate at the stern of the boat, frightening the latter.

The pirates first stunned and then burst into cheer.

Zhang Heng and the Apple-eating pirate were more than 40 meters apart, the hull was in the turbulence of the waves, and the shooting difficulty itself was very high, and this set of quick-fire actions learned from Simon was so good, it looked like they didn't even aim, and eventually this divine shooting technique won a full house of praise.

In a sense, the vast majority of pirates are fairly simple people, and on the sea following the laws of the jungle, they always have no lack of respect for the strong, they don't know who started it, and the pirates around them shout together, "Take him, take him! ”

The pirate responsible for recruiting people wrinkled his eyebrows. In the end, he couldn't resist the rhetorical opinion behind him. He was helpless. "Well, a marksman, no one should be able to refuse. He has already recruited three people. He doesn't care about one more. Come with me. ”

The four of them walked down the deck with the crushing pirates, who introduced themselves as they walked, "My name is Owen, and I'm the sailor of the Sea Lion. Whatever you've done before, whatever your background, you're now a member of the Sea Lion. Of course, we can't trust you as much as we trust others right now, but it's okay, let time speak. ”

Owenton went on, "But there are things you need to know in advance. Listen, gambling, theft, private fighting are strictly forbidden on board, unless there is a duel in the presence of a notary, and running away in battle is a capital crime...”

Speaking of which, he looked specifically at Marvin, who smiled with sweat.

Owen goes on to say, "It is strictly forbidden to hide loot when looting, except for the enemies you kill, you can pick one thing first, and finally all the gains are shared equally between you, the captain and the helmsman, the doctor, the carpenter, the gunner and the cook, the sailor one and two points each, and there are extra rewards for other people who excel in the battle, and pensions if they are disabled, and the amount of the pension depends on your age on the ship.

“Oh, and, most importantly, all the day-to-day affairs on board, including the appointment and removal of the captain, the helmsman, everyone has equal voting rights. ”

Owen looked at the four of them, "That's all for now. Do you have any questions? ”

Marvin raised his hand and chuckled, “I didn't mean to evade responsibility, I just wanted to know, is the cook going to fight too? ”

Owen glanced at him and said, "Normally, no, but if it's really a crisis, everyone has to pick up their weapons. Speaking of which, you go to Devereaux later and ask him to give you a gun, and I'll tell him about it.” His last words were addressed to Zhang Heng.

“And the rest of you, too, can get a weapon from Divrena, which is the welfare of a newcomer, and in the future, if it's damaged, you'll have to pay for it, deducted from your next trophy. ”
