48 Hours a Day

“You want to learn how to knife?” Owen heard some unexpected stories, considering the enormous risks faced every time he went out to sea, pirates on board were mostly entertainers, who could count a day, and few people would plan for tomorrow's event, so Owen specifically cautioned, "The knife technique is not available for a moment and a half, it takes as soon as a month or two to see the results, and the practice process is boring, isn't your shooting good, why learn the knife again? ”

“Melee warfare is my weakness, shooting only one bullet at a time, then packing it up is troublesome, I don't want to stand by and watch every time I finish shooting, at least I can learn to do it myself. ”

“Well, that's true. ”

The difference between guns of this era and future generations is huge. Although firearms have advanced considerably over firerope guns, the filling process is still complicated. Not only are the bullets and gunpowder separated, but the gunpowder pool is also filled with gunpowder after each shooting in the barrel. Apart from that, the dumb fire rate is also very high, so more often in warfare the two sides shoot each other a wave, then start lighting the knife and muscle.

However, the vast majority of people in battle rely on temporal martial arts and strength advantages that are not technically worth mentioning, so people like Owen with formal military training tend to have a considerable advantage in battle.

“Well, in that case, come to the deck tomorrow morning when the sun rises, and I'll teach you some basic moves like chopping.” Owen said, but then he added, "Knife practice is fine, but don't delay your daily routine. ”

“Thank you, no.” Zhang Hengzhen said, there is no reason why Owen can win the support of all pirates. He is very generous and upright in his affairs. Even if he is good at knife technique, he has no hidden meaning. Zhang Hengzheng wanted to learn and he answered with pleasure.

But no one else spoke so well, Zhang Heng found the length of the sail cable on the boat, an old man named Roscoe, who, according to the people on the boat, spent more time at sea than he lived on land, judging the wind, predicting the weather and manipulating the sails were his three most proud specialties.

With these three techniques, he can get the treatment of the captain and crew even if he doesn't participate much in the battle on any of the pirate ships, but correspondingly, he is also very dear to his skills, he doesn't want to be learned by others and lose his job. Zhang Heng is not the first person to come to him, but like the guys who came to him, Roscoe did not hesitate to refuse.

Zhang Hengyi once mentioned 500 silver pesos and paid them off within a year, but Roscoe eventually only agreed to pass on his skills to Zhang Heng after he retired.

However, at present, Zhang Heng is afraid to wait until that day. The old man's body is tough and scary. Although he is old, his appetite is better than that of a younger man, and he is not vegan. It is time to eat and drink. Zhang Heng suspected that it would be possible if Roscoe did not accidentally dry until he left this copy.

Therefore, after disembarking for the third time, Zhang Heng went to the tavern to find the old pirate Fraser.

“How's your close-knit technique? Can you help me collect my debts?” Fraser threw peanut rice into his mouth as he spoke.

“No,” Zhang Hengtan admitted, drifting at sea for two and a half months, his knife skills remained at lv0. As Owen said, it was a long process that required constant practice and the integration of basic actions into battle instincts to yield results. For now, he was a little far from this level, but Owen had already started practicing with him in action.

And the good news is that after such a long rest period, his weight has come back, and his strength even surpasses that of the man who just entered the copy, although he can't compare to those who are born with divine powers, he is also remarkable among ordinary people.

“Then why did you come to me?” The old pirates are curious.

“The Sea Lion was originally yours, Roscoe. As the oldest crew on board, you must know him well enough. ”

“Oh, that old fox, he has no principles and no bottom line, but he does have a good level of sail control and it's hard for you to find a better cable in Nassau.” Fraser was emotional, "Yay, I really miss that time, we met pirate hunters, we could only venture into the storm zone at a disadvantage in boat speed, and the other eight achievements were the result of the ship's destruction, but Roscoe and I worked hard to keep the mainsail, and then returned to Nassau safely, I haven't admired a few people in my life, Roscoe barely counted as one, you have to drink to that guy's good technology. ”

The old pirate picked up the beer in front of him.

Zhang Heng didn't go in circles and straightened out, “How can I let him teach me his skills? ”

The old pirate's face was filled with fun, “You want to learn how to control the sail, why? ”

“It's always right for people to learn more when they're young. ”

Fraser grins, "So you're going to convince me with this bullshit reason?” He put down the knife and fork in his hand, stared at Zhang Heng for a moment, and said again a moment later, "But you're lucky today, I've been having a problem lately, and if you can help me solve this problem, I wouldn't mind telling you what to do to make Roscoe behave. ”

“What trouble? ”

“There's an asshole in town named Jacob who just stole a bag of black pearls from me this morning, and if you can find him in half a day and bring my pearls back, I'll meet your demands. ”

“Sounds fair.” Zhang Heng rose.

“Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I asked another guy for help, he left an hour earlier than you, so I just wish you luck. ”

…………

Zhang Heng left the tavern, not a few steps away, and saw a group of kids playing on the side of the road, and the guy dressed as a hawker passed in front of them. Several kids pretended to be in a mess, attracting the attention of the hawker, while the smallest one quietly reached into the hawker's pocket, and immediately after they got their hands on it, they distracted themselves.

This is Nassau. The theft is not uncommon here. Like Zhang Heng rented the cabin, he never left anything valuable inside. In fact, he can always go back after every trip to the sea to see a few guys who occupy the nest. Basically, he can only beat up once and throw it out.

It is therefore not easy to find pearl thieves among so many rogues, especially when there is only one name to lead the way.
