48 Hours a Day

Chapter 120: Black Sail (25)

Zhang Heng is not indifferent to Kid's treasure.

After all, as the farmer's son said, with such start-up money, it would be much easier if he wanted to build his own pirate ship, and Nassau lacked sailors, skilled people, and most importantly - ships, especially ships with a certain amount of firepower.

The vast majority of pirates are also flying only the most ordinary small fishing boats without artillery, which can only be fought unilaterally and pray that they can climb the opposite deck before being sunk by artillery shells.

Therefore, Zhang Heng, if he intends to do it alone, the first thing to do is find a boat. During this time, he went sailing with the Sea Lion to loot some gains, and with the proceeds of collecting debts for the old pirates, he already has some savings, but he is quite a distance from buying a boat, even the most ordinary dhow.

Kidder Treasure can undoubtedly solve this problem, but the problem is that it happened too coincidentally. Just as Goodwin was challenging Olf, he helped the latter through this crisis of trust, and Zhang Heng was more worried about what happened later.

With this information, Olf mobilized the mood of the whole ship, almost without any effort to blow away the challenge of Goodwin and solidified his position. Strangely, however, instead of stopping, he continued to add wood to the fire, making it burn more and more.

Zhang Heng also suddenly realized until recently that the goal of Olf may never have been Goodwin. He did not see the latter as a threat at all, but simply used the matter to solve the immediate problem. Today, the crew of the Sea Lion has completely fallen into an atmosphere of fanaticism, and his influence on the ship has reached its peak.

The previous battles were the best illustration of the fact that, in the past, such actions, which were totally out of proportion to the benefits, had not yet begun to be rejected by the crew, but now that no one on or off the ship has raised any objections, I am afraid that even if Orf were to lead the ship to hell, there would be no objections.

In such a situation, if Olf was truly hostile to a crew member, his situation would undoubtedly become very dangerous, so Zhang Heng had been very low profile in the recent period after the discovery of someone spying on him in the dark, and he had deliberately reduced his dealings with others in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Sometimes, however, you don't go to trouble, but trouble comes to you.

Late at night, Zhang Heng was woken from his sleep by a knock on the door. He opened the window and saw a black carriage parked downstairs.

“What man?” Annie leaned out of the house with a hat.

“It's none of your business. Go back to sleep.” Zhang Heng recognized the carriage, got dressed and walked downstairs. Marvin's sleep quality was always good, even in this movement, he still snored like thunder.

Zhang Heng did not take the British military knife he had seized from an officer, but only took a short gun to defend himself. He walked to the carriage, and a state-of-the-art driver opened the compartment door for him.

Behind the door is a familiar face, "I don't want to bother you at this time, but, by contrast, you probably don't want me to come all day. ”

Zhang Heng sat opposite the old pirate, the cabin door closed, and the carriage's wheels re-rolled.

“If you're disappointed in Kid's treasure, Olf, be careful, nobody knows where he keeps those maps, and as long as I don't leave the Sea Lion for a day, I'm still on the crew, even if I know where those treasure maps are, I won't tell you. ”

“Kid's treasure?” Fraser reveals a bite of yellow teeth, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't believe that. You don't believe it yourself, do you? Olf has always been good at this kind of thing. You have to admit, he does have a gift for lying, but I've been fooled once by him, and I won't be fooled again. ”

“Then why did you come to me tonight? ”

“I brought you a gift and a message.” The old pirate threw a small coin bag at Zhang Heng, who opened it and found only some worthless little things like change and belt rings.

“In order to thank you for your hard work over this period, I have decided to show my sincerity and give our mutual friend Vic the most complete peace of mind, which is all he has left in the world, and from now on you and your companions will not have to worry about anyone using him to blackmail you again. ”

Zhang Heng picked out his eyebrows and was surprised. "Why did you do this? ”

“I see you've been kind of misunderstanding me.” Fraser moved his ass to make himself more comfortable, "I've never been your enemy. We've known each other for so long, I've never forced you to do anything, have I? Even if you ask me to collect the debt, I will pay you well. You want to learn how to control the sail from Roscoe, and I will cooperate. I will tell you his secret. In Nassau, you will not find a second person as kind as me. ”

Zhang Heng Silence, this is also his biggest question all the time, for the past nine months, Fraser Ming has grabbed his handle, but he has been very polite, never really wanted to blackmail him anything, as if it was really to collect the debt, tonight the carriage appeared downstairs, Zhang Hengwon thought it was time to stall, but I didn't think Fraser had offered to return his handle, so even the only worry did not exist.

“I know what people here say about me before, and I'm sure you've heard of the grudges between me and Olf, and you're guarding against me because you think I'm going to use you on a boat at some point to stir up the rain, but in fact, after retiring, I've completely let go of what happened back then. ”

The old pirate shrugged, “There are few pirates in history who can die well. In a sense, my life is not bad now. Ironically, I let go, but those who dealt with me didn't seem to let go. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“I regret that Olf is so prejudiced against me that he is still so vigilant about everything that concerns me, including you, that I have just received some very bad news that Olf intends to clean up all the instability on board the ship the next time he goes out. ”

Fraser paused for a moment, and he said, "Anyway, you're implicated because of me, and I can't leave you alone. My power on the ship has been cleared up for years, but if you really need help, you can go find a carpenter named Kent. ”
