Mage Joan

Joan saw Hailar and Holden quarreling again and had to stand up and persuade him.

On the one hand, he wants to appease Hailar and get rid of his breath. He must turn around and explain to the wronged Holden: "I heard that your hometown of Canaan is an inland desert country that lacks coastlines and ports. You may not know about our coastal residents. Customs and habits, on the ship, it is best not to say unpleasant words such as'turn','sink','leak', otherwise it is easy to make people think of the corresponding disaster.

"If this is a custom, then I can only think that the customs here are too superstitious. In fact, whether I say or not say those taboo words, it will not have any impact on the actual situation." Holden lowered Refuted.

In fact, Joanne also admitted that what he said made sense, but he didn't want to be more serious with him on this issue.

For those who seek life at sea, life and death are often beyond their control. It depends on unpredictable factors such as the weather. In the face of moody nature, what can people do in addition to praying for grace and avoiding taboos?

Even if this is a kind of "superstition", at least it can bring some spiritual comfort to people.

Hailar was not as good-tempered as Joan. Hearing Holden’s sharp criticism of the customs of her hometown, the anger that had just been suppressed rose again and turned to sneer at Holden: “In fact, we have a more brutal customs here, Joan is not embarrassed to tell you."

"What custom?" Holden asked curiously.

"If there is an accident during the voyage, and there is a guy on the ship who always speaks badly, people have reason to think that the culprit is all caused by this "crow mouth". If most crew members agree with this view, you can change The nasty guy **** and left the sea as a sacrifice to Poseidon, praying that Poseidon would calm down his anger and dispel anger after receiving the sacrifice."

After saying this, Hailar stared at Holden and made a meaningful suggestion.

"You'd better be good at swimming, maybe you will use this skill whenever."

Holden was so scared that his face was white!

He is a "dry duck" from a desert country. He has never seen the sea a few times in his life. How can he swim!

"No, it's not that serious!" Frightened by Hailar, the young poet no longer dared to talk, and followed Joan hurriedly to the open deck.

The weather is still very good, the moons and stars are sparse, and the sea shimmering in the night is sparkling. The fresh sea breeze was blowing, and Joan felt energized, and also raised doubts: the sea was calm and the cargo ship was also moving smoothly. What factors caused the watchman to sound the alarm?

As he wondered, a sailor with a black headscarf hurried over and bowed to him.

"Master Master, I finally found you!"

"what's up?"

"Mr. McQuay told me to inform you to meet him at the bow as soon as possible. He has urgent matters to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll go by now."

Joan nodded, followed the sailor around the main mast, and hurried to the bow. Captain McQuay had just come down from the bridge, followed by the first officer, second officer and captain.

McQuay saw Joan and his party come to a stop and shook hands with him. Without saying a word, he put the telescope in his hand and pointed to the left side of the ship's side and said, "Look over there, about our ship. In the two seas, there is a motor boat that has been following us since dusk."

"Without the national flag or the shipping company's flag, it wouldn't be..." Joan observed the **** ship sailing through the night through the telescope and suddenly had an ominous hunch.

Captain McQuay nodded, his face extremely grim: "I spent most of my life on the sea begging for life. If my experience still works, this sneaky guy...mostly a pirate ship."

Joan frowned, raised his hand to touch the prosthetic eye, and at the same time turned on "Dark Vision" and "Misty Sight", and leaned in front of the telescope again, excluding the influence of night and waves, and observing the suspicious ship deck opposite with a clearer vision On the move.

"Our ship is affiliated with Freeport, which is the residence of the Pirate Council. How could there be pirates who dare to hit us?" Holden asked in surprise.

"Because we are from Freeport, if the other party dares to hit our ship, this shows that the problem is very serious. I am afraid not only to rob the cargo, but also to kill people and mouths, so as not to expose things."

Hailar sighed and his face became ugly.

"If I guessed right, Francis Metzinger's men were indispensable on the opposite ship-they probably came towards me!"

Hailar's words reminded Joan to turn the telescope's brass sleeve to maximize the magnification. Under the support of "dark vision" and "foggy sight", he could see through the telescope to see every one on the opposite deck Face open.

First of all, there were several deformed figures flashing through the lens, looking like monsters with human heads, naked skin covered with dark green scales, and wide palms and soles with webbed membranes, which is clearly a Sahua fish!

Joan frowned and continued to move the telescope. He distinguished a few human figures among the large group of sahuas, all wearing black headscarves, carrying scimitars in their waists, and some people holding magic crystal shotguns in their hands. Show that they are not well-intentioned.

Among the group of human pirates, Joan really saw three familiar faces, exactly the three thieves Hailar had taught at the Freeport Pier yesterday afternoon.

It seems that Hailar was right. The gangsters colluded with the Sahua pirates to track the Mercury. In addition to the main incentive for looting cargo on board ships, trying to seek revenge against Hailar is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

Joan thought about it for a while, the pirate ship was obviously prepared, and the "Mercury" might be spotted by them as soon as they left the port.

In the past four days, the pirates have not exposed their intentions, which shows that they are worried, knowing that the registration place of the "Mercury" is Freeport, and also know that Hailar was born in the family of the Freeport noble parliamentarians. If looting is launched in the waters near Freeport In case of being witnessed by a passing ship, the wind spread to the pirate council. Even if they were backed by the big man Francis Metzinger, he could not explain to the pirate speaker and Freeport lord Heller.

In order to avoid the leakage of wind, this group of pirates tolerated until today, until the "Mercury" has been far away from the sphere of influence of the Freeport, deep into the hinterland of the Asa Sea, while the night is shrouded, and no other ships pass by, it can't suppress the murderous and greedy. Desire, starting the magic steam engine at full speed and rushing straight over, the intention to launch the plunder has been exposed.
