"Big waves! Big waves are coming!!!" The pirate on the port side shouted, but his voice was swallowed up by the wind and waves, and a six-meter-high wave hit the deck, knocking the group of pirates upside down. , Zhang Heng grabbed the cable at the first time so as not to let his body be taken away.
And Marvin in the cabin was not feeling well either. He was peeling a potato and almost chopped off his finger. The entire hull was shaking violently, and the bacon hanging above his head was also following him. The group of demons dancing wildly, especially the sound of huge waves hitting the ship, sounds as terrifying as the end of the world. People can't help but wonder whether these wooden boards that are assembled together can withstand the power of nature.
The farmer's son couldn't help shrinking his neck, squatting in a corner and praying continuously.
This is the sea, with a warm and cruel side, it is like a moody girl who was smiling at you one second, but has changed color the next second, setting off turbulent waves.
Compared with the other flustered pirates on the ship, Roscoe's expression was unusually calm. The old man had spent most of his life at sea, and he had experienced many storms and waves, so this scene didn't frighten him at the moment.
He even had the leisure to use this opportunity to give Zhang Heng a lesson, "Here, feel it, the current speed is almost at the limit of the Sea Lion. No matter how strong the wind is, the sail will not be able to hold up, so you have to loosen it." The truss lashings furl the topsail just in time, or the mast snaps."
Roscoe's attitude towards Zhang Heng is very different from a month ago. The latter did not follow Fraser's suggestion and threatened him with the whereabouts of the old pirate's daughter. This is certainly the safest way to keep Roscoe on board , However, there is no absolute standard for imparting skills, and there is a big difference between being dedicated and not being dedicated.
Rothko is the person with the best sail control skills in Nassau, but it doesn't mean that without Rothko and Zhang Heng, there is no place to learn sail control, and Roscoe who is conflicted may not be better than others.
Therefore, Zhang Heng was willing to gamble. On that night, he told the other party the address of the old pirate's daughter's current residence. As a result, Roscoe left the theater overnight. When we gathered early the next morning, the old man miraculously appeared on the Sea Lion, and said to Zhang Heng with a straight face, "I have already told the captain, I want you to be under my command, and I will stay in Nassau for three more month, this is the longest period, don't blame me for not making it clear, what you can learn in three months is nothing."
Zhang Heng once thought that the old man had found out because of his conscience, but Rothko told the truth after drinking too much one night. Because he has always pursued a life attitude of timely enjoyment, he can't save money at all in his pocket. There is less travel expenses, and I am embarrassed to go back empty-handed after not seeing him for so many years with my daughter, so before leaving, I can only abduct him and honestly make two more tickets.
But no matter what, in the end, Zhang Heng had another teacher, and as the two got along, Rothko's attitude towards him continued to improve.
Whether the old man was a captain or a pirate, he had never seen such a self-disciplined person. Zhang Heng got up two hours early every day to do basic training such as chopping. After about an hour, Owen would also come to the deck. The two started After sparring, after all the pirates got up and had dinner, Zhang Heng came to him again to learn how to observe the weather and how to control the sails. In addition, he cooperated with Marvin to mix with several other old sailors by means of food or money. Familiar with them, learned from them the knowledge of steering, bombardment, and nautical charts.
"I heard that your only daughter is still alive, congratulations." Orff, the helmsman, appeared behind Roscoe at some point, looking at Zhang Heng furling the sails on the top of the mast with interest, "What do you think, he will Become a threat to us?"
"I don't think so." The sail cable said, "You should care more about Goodwin than him. I heard that he has won the support of more than half of the people, and he will challenge you soon."
Orff dismissively said, "It's just a clown, don't change the subject, you should know that your favorite student is very close to Fraser, and I heard that he helped Fraser collect debts before."
"so?"
"You don't really think that Fraser just got off the ship obediently and enjoyed his retirement life. If I remember correctly, you were the one who proposed to kill him at that time."
Roscoe snorted, "I still remember that you were the one who tried to spare his life at that time."
"You know I have no other choice. You have to admit that Fraser had a lot of influence among the crew at that time. Although we forged the pardon, there are still many people in the crew who are skeptical. Get rid of him at that time, and our situation will become very dangerous." Orff sat down beside Roscoe.
The latter shook his head, "It doesn't matter anymore, it's all in the past anyway, and I'm going to retire too."
Orff knew that the old man didn't want to continue this topic, "We will miss you, maybe many years later I will tell my children that I have sailed side by side with the best cable captain in the Caribbean."
"Then I will also tell my granddaughter that when I went to sea, the most boring and rigid helmsman in the entire Caribbean kept talking nonsense in my ears." Rothko said with a straight face.
Orff smiled, "Say hello to Koror for me." After speaking, he patted the old man on the shoulder, got up and left the deck.
...
Three months passed quickly, because the last raid took a long time, and when the Sea Lion returned to Nassau, strictly speaking, almost four months have passed since Rothko started teaching Zhang Heng's sail control technology , the old man also scraped together enough money for travel expenses and gifts, he had already returned home, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he bid farewell to the captain before disembarking.
Zhang Heng checked his panel, and the system did not list a separate skill for sail control, but it was included in a skill called sailing and sailing together with other similar steering and weather observation.
His current skill has been upgraded to lv1. In addition, the sword skill has also reached lv1 a month ago. This level can be regarded as relatively good among all the pirates. Although he still can't beat Owen, but the opponent It can also go back and forth under the premise of a little water.
Zhang Heng is quite satisfied with the harvest during this period, but some people are not so happy.
For example, Annie, another resident, is in a bad mood right now.
