Vol 3 Chapter 319: meeting

The Nassau Castle meeting room is located underground. It’s not that the pirates don’t want to make it taller, but Nassau has been breached twice. The port, town, and plantation have been burned. The castle is the main target of naval attacks. The residents of Sao learned their lesson and no longer used it to store treasures.

Now Nassau is just a haven and transit station. The hidden islands and ancient jungles are more suitable for treasure; but Nassau Castle is still the center and center of gravity of Nassau’s defense, as is a conference hall used to discuss battles and distribute spoils. If necessary, the underground has become the most suitable place: concealed, quiet, closed, and perhaps an underpass leading to the outside...

Passing through the rusty gates, although the entire corridor is old, there is no rot or fishy smell, and there is no accumulation of debris in the corridor, which looks particularly tidy; Crow took three people from the one near the sea. I walked down the spiral stone steps for about two floors in the room where the weapons are stored. I can no longer feel the humidity and strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

"We're here!" Crowe arbitrarily pushed open the unremarkable wooden door at the end of the corridor. He turned around and told James: "Many Nassau people don't like pirates; after all, because of our craziness in the past, Nassau Having encountered revenge from the navy several times and was razed to the ground in the war, no one wants to experience it again!"

   Then he looked at Shen Chen again, the light in his eyes was more like a silent reminder: "After you go in, be cautious in your words and deeds. Try not to provoke the contradiction between the two parties. Just watch my wink and act!"

   Shen Chen nodded, his pirate reputation is good, but he doesn't play any role here. Rather than act rashly, it is better to wait and see.

   After finishing speaking, Crow pushed the small door violently, telling the others with a sound that his arrival and his unpleasant mood.

   Shen Chen followed James in. He was half a body behind, hiding in the shadow behind James; in this way, he would be considered a follower, so no one would pay attention.

   The meeting room is probably a remodeled material warehouse. Some potato bags and asphalt can be seen. On the ground around Shen Chen, there are some traces of heavy wine barrels being dragged.

   The room looked a little gloomy, even though there were oil lamps covered with translucent glass hanging on the walls, a row of candles was added around it, and the interlaced dark yellow candlelight dragged everyone's shadows long.

   The members of the Nassau Council were standing or sitting around a square table, but the eyes of the three Shen Chen were not friendly, and some even showed disgust and hatred.

It’s worth intriguing that Shen Chen activated the demon hunter’s perception and carefully observed everyone in the venue; at such a close distance, he could see the eyes of some old guys flickering and his hands slowly moving on the table. , Seemed to want to let it go, but quickly closed together; their eyes fixed on Klau, and they looked at Shen Chen from time to time, although they were angry, they were more irritable.

Judging from the clothing of the conference participants, most of them are retired old sailors. Maybe the quality of the "retirement life" is not low, and the clothes are not bad, but the open neckline and cuffs are stained with stains and look a bit At that time, there was no washing; and the scimitars that they carried with them, and the shiny muskets that were wiped down, all showed their identities.

The other part are merchants and planters wearing silk. They want to pretend to be Europeans, but the thick dust on their faces can't cover the bronzed skin. The white wig highlights this; but this At least it can explain that under the leadership of Crow, these people and businessmen made a fortune in Nassau. If there is not enough money, who would care about their image so much?

Crow’s steps were a bit heavy. When the stone brick floor was stepped on, he made a slight cracking and clicking sound. Of course, this sound was hidden in the noisy quarrel. Apart from Shen Chen, only Saatchi, who was staring at Crow, paid attention. At this point.

Crow slowly walked to the front of the square table. He lowered his head, as if something was brewing; the next moment, he suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist and slammed it into the square table. The blade almost completely penetrated the table. , The remaining power made the tip of the sword tremble under the table, and the trembling metal sound immediately stopped the surrounding voices.

   "Huh..." In the entire meeting room, there was only a breathless sound left in an instant. Crow's prestige was enough to suppress everyone in the venue!

   When the surroundings became quiet, Crow raised his head and said, "This meeting is held to continue the unfinished topic last time. We are fighting or making peace with the pirates!"

The tense atmosphere was instantly relieved, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. Crowe’s behavior just now was really terrifying. It almost reminded them: when Crowe dealt with pirate hunters, he lifted them on a wooden frame and cut his legs. He made a small mouth and put his half body into the sea. He jokingly called it shark fishing!

   However, the present Crow returned to the friendly appearance of the speaker, and immediately talked in a mess: "Of course it is going to be a war! We have lost a lot of property. If we can't show our strength, they will come back!"

   "I can't fight! If you anger all the pirates, even if we guard the castle, there is no chance of winning. Don't forget Nassau, which was once a scorched earth!"

   "Isn't it said that a pirate messenger is here? Why don't you let them come up and talk about their conditions?"

   In the discussion, everyone seemed to avoid the angry Crow just now.

Shen Chen counted the expressions of everyone present, ranging from fearful to relaxed, untrained pirates and Nassau people, no matter how experienced sailors and merchants, their psychology would still be revealed in the subtle expressions; Shen Chen Although he has not studied psychology systematically, the vertical pupil of the Demon Hunter can help him catch everything!

   Crowe listened to the controversy. The businessman who suffered heavy losses in the first attack by the pirates has now become the main battle group; the sailors who should have been more vicious have become conservatives.

He laughed suddenly, took a half step back, and pushed James Kidd forward with his other hand, and said in a friendly manner: "This is the messenger sent by the pirates to negotiate, and is also my old captain, William Key. De’s child, I can prove his identity!"

   "William Kidd, he still has descendants in the world!"

   There was a tumult in the hall. The identity of William Kidd’s children shocked them. Several sailors almost yelled out loudly, but their mouths were covered by their quick-eyed companions.

"Why haven't we heard of this person for so many years! Why did he appear at this time?" Some pirates also expressed doubts ~www.ltnovel.com~ At least, if he is really William's child, then His identity can indeed represent a pirate! But..." The old pirate who said this involuntarily turned his eyes to the right of James Kidd, Clau Berdou, and asked: "That's his captain, will he Favoritism, what should we do! "

"Don't worry, William has been dead for so long. Although they have been kind, they have no interest. Otherwise, Crow would not abandon William in the first place! What's more, Crow's wealth is mostly in Nassau, he will definitely Act impartially!"

   This old pirate was also active in William's time. He not only knew what Crowe did at the time, but also knew that many industries in Nassau are now under Crowe's name. No one in the room cares about the port of Nassau even more!

   "It's all quiet, listen to me!" Crow waited a little bit, waiting for others to digest the news from James Crow's identity, and let the shocking news impact the psychology, and the emotional changes quickly fermented.

"I have a very interesting news and discovery that I want to share with you! The heir of the pirate king, the messenger of the pirates, was trapped on the way into Nassau and to the castle. The enemy But not us or the pirates! Who do you think it will be?"

   The next moment, Crow suddenly clenched his fists with both hands and hammered heavily on the table. His eyes looked like a lion king patrolling his territory, looking around everyone present.

There was suspicion and anger in his voice. The voice was not loud, but the voice echoing in the conference room and the glacial-cold tone were creepy: "So I know that there must be a traitor here, he even helped the navy scum , The pirate messenger who wanted to ease the situation was ambushed!"
