I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 24 Loyalty
  "What do you think of calling this ship Snow Eagle?"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Zhang Xing stared at the increasingly chaotic sea currents away from the supply island, and said without looking back.

Behind him, Tucci looked at the jet-black sails, and then at the deck, which although often scrubbed, was covered with all kinds of messy cables and some random things.

It's a complete pirate ship. You can't expect a group of pirates to have much consciousness after abiding by the code.

"I'll let them clean up the ship right now!"

But Twitch can let them have it!
  "It's better to straighten the cable first. I don't want to see that thing and gunpowder together again, even if it's wet gunpowder."

Twitch is more suitable as an assistant than Zhang Xing imagined. This rat man is full of dexterity and is also good at using Zhang Xing's majesty to command the pirates - this is a good thing, making Twitch clearly aware of his power. Where did it come from.

As long as Zhang Xing is still his source of power, he will do his best to protect Zhang Xing.

This makes the process of sailing much more fun and relaxing than before.

The relaxation and fun are not only reflected in Tucci's performance, but also because Zhang Xing doesn't get seasick now.

It's hard to say whether it's because Charles' traces are getting weaker or because Zhang Xing has become an awakener, but what is clear is that in the past few days of sailing to the port of Eris, Zhang Xing only vomited once today.

"This may be a hint..."

Turning his head, he looked at the coffin placed next to him. Captain Wind's body was sleeping inside.

As a pirate ship that was used to provide support and had many good sailors, Zhang Xing found a lot of good things in the captain's room.

Thanks to them, the captain's body was well preserved with no additional damage.

If nothing else happens, Zhang Xing should be able to send him and the weapon back to the captain's family.

"But in that case, wouldn't I be very ignorant?"

As an old man's last wish, Zhang Xing is not happy to act recklessly with the idea that this will be better.

"Although there's nothing you can do about it now, I don't want to get up in the middle of the night and whip myself, so -"

The crisscrossing currents covered up the sound of falling water. A very strong current changed its direction under Zhang Xing's full deflection, and rushed toward the deep sea with Zhang Xing's entrustment.

"You seem a little sad."

The strong tauren stood behind Zhang Xing. He had just returned from the underworld and was still wearing a bloody bandage. He struggled to pay tribute to his savior.

"More than that, I'm not only sad, but also regretful."

Leaning against the railing of the ship's side, Zhang Xing looked at the chart in his hand.

It showed that the unnamed former pirate ship was not far from their destination, and they would reach the largest port in the Kingdom of Nolen in ten days of sailing.

Port of Eris.

"I regret that I never really communicated with this old man. His story must be very interesting."

The tauren was a little puzzled. In his opinion, Zhang Xing and Captain Wende must be very familiar with each other.

But this did not affect him from bowing his head in front of Zhang Xing and offering his loyalty.

Well, it's not a temporary attachment due to circumstances or interests, or because of fear. But true, unreserved loyalty.

"At this moment, I offer my loyalty to you, and I hope you will accept this gift. As you wish, I will be your sword, your shield, and you will be driven. I hereby swear that I will The chains of fate are placed in your hands, and I serve you as my master. From now on, life and glory will follow your footsteps until death."

"What kind of books do you usually read?"

"..."

"It's a little embarrassing, you know?" Poor Brick, as a stranger living in the lower city, this is the best opening he can think of to the person he wants to be loyal to.

Now Brick's whole body was starting to turn red, and this mark was particularly conspicuous on his blue-white skin.

Crouching in front of Brick, he looked at the tauren who looked too strong from this perspective even if he was lying down.

"When I finish the task at hand and find what I want to do, if you still want to follow me, just let me know."

He wanted to pat Brick on the shoulder to get him up, but couldn't resist tapping his corner.

"I can't bear your loyalty at the moment."

"But Twitch is working for you."

"That can only be regarded as a short-term job. There is a high probability that this employment relationship will end when we get to the shore. Of course, it is undeniable that he is indeed a good assistant and has great experience in controlling pirates. Maybe I will look for him again in the future."

He took out a small bottle - not the one hanging around his neck, but a nice container found in the captain's cabin.

Handing the bottle in his hand to Brick.

"As for you, you are also a good warrior, but now you have to heal your injuries first. If you really want to do something for me, instead of saying an oath to me, you might as well try this thing later to see how effective it is."

As the first work of the unnamed vase, Zhang Xing knew what the effect of that thing was, but to what extent it could be achieved, he still had to find someone to use it personally.

Brick is a good candidate.

But with Zhang Xing's gift, he had already made up his mind and drank the liquid in the bottle in one gulp without any hesitation.

"You saved me, not just my life." Brick wiped the corners of his mouth with a serious expression. "It may be a piece of cake for you, a trivial matter. But I decided at that moment that I would dedicate my life to you."

"There are still many things you can do, don't make such a decision in a hurry." Zhang Xing responded casually to Brick's words, but Zhang Xing did not focus on this.

What caught his eye was Brick's injuries that were visibly healing.

He even got stronger.

"It's probably an illusion, or it could be that you have recovered enough energy to recover from your injuries."

Zhang Xing can notice it, and so can Brick.

Regarding the vision that happened to him, the tauren didn't say much, but silently remembered it in his heart.

Rare treasures don't need much fame unless the owner is willing to show them off.

He stood stubbornly in front of Zhang Xing, holding the bottle Zhang Xing gave him. "You saved me again. This kindness should not go unrequited."

"There will be a chance."

"At least let me know your name. I can't know anything about my benefactor."

The huge bull's eye is very serious, and Zhang Xing is not going to be indifferent to him - at least he really respects him.

Opening his mouth, Zhang Xing suddenly hesitated when the words came to his lips.

Just as he did at the White Dove's tomb, he announced this name.

"You can call me Zhang Xing, I'm from Captain Winder's Watermelon Pi."

Now, there is no more Charles in this world.

　Wow~ The pain in my head finally stopped and my mind became clearer.
