For these greedy and vicious pirates, few would understand Ammand's mind. But this does not include Sheyan and Kerry, the two contractors. Kerry has a vaguely ominous feeling in his heart: If Sheyan wants to show Armand that he has no ambitions, he can do better. An ingenious method, why do you have to stand up for yourself? But at this moment, he couldn't allow him to think deeply, Sheyan had already pulled him over, and said indifferently in the light of the flickering torch:
"What are you playing with them?"
Kerry was stared at by this group of ferocious pirates, and at least half of them had angry or malicious eyes. Naturally, he was terrified and apprehensive. He could only mutter:
"Yes, blackjack."
Needless to say, the rules of blackjack cards, you can choose cards as you like, blackjack is the biggest. If it exceeds blackjack, it will be considered a bust, and only the extra numbers you get will be counted. Mouse Mountain is extremely slippery, and he has his own unique and powerful skills when shuffling the cards. At the beginning, he easily let Kerry draw 20 points, and then he used 21 points to kill him. But Fang Sheyan has spent a lot of time on the boat, but he knows these tricks clearly, especially the gambling movies in Hong Kong are also bad, so he brought it up before the bet started, and asked him to shuffle the cards.
Mouse Shante and the others naturally refused such outrageous conditions, but Fang Sheyan argued for a few words and did not insist, but took a step back and said that Scar Henry would shuffle the cards! At this time, no one could tell what was wrong, Shushante and the others knew that they had been tricked by Fang Sheyan's retreat in order to advance. After Scar Henry handed out the cards, the two sides could only gamble based on experience, but Sheyan's perception had an overwhelming advantage, and he won back the two ancient gold pounds without any suspense. Mouse Shante and the three looked at each other, but they also knew that today's matter might end here, and if there were any crooked ideas, then it would not be as simple as a one-eyed dragon breaking a finger.
At this time, it was already dark, and there was a faint sound of cannons in the distance, and in the distant sky, there was a faint flicker of fire. It was obvious that Hope Island, which was used by the pirates to gather and divide the spoils, was about to arrive. After Armand said a few more stern words to tell the pirates to behave, he went back to his cabin. Tonight was the first time he was able to sit on an equal footing with the captains of the three legendary pirate ships. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but he had to adjust anyway. Fang Senyan took Kerry to the deck, looked at the rough sea for a while, and then said coldly:
"Are you wondering why I should stand up for you?"
This was also one of the questions in Kerry's mind, but at a time when his personal safety was completely dependent on Sheyan, he would never take the initiative to ask. Sheyan didn't expect him to answer, but said flatly:
"Because they don't dare to deal with me directly, but can only try to get rid of you."
Kerry's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but Sheyan continued:
"Have you ever seen the scene where the wolf king alternates among the wolves? When the young male wolves think that the wolf king is old, they will do everything possible to provoke the old wolf king. They will not challenge the old wolf king at first, but will take food. , mating with a female wolf belonging to the wolf king and other indirect methods, once the old wolf king's response becomes weak, then the pack of wolves will swarm up!"
"So." Sheyan concluded: "Don't overestimate your own charm, I'm just helping myself. If you use my reputation to mess around on a pirate ship, I'll be the first to kill you. "
Kerry hurriedly nodded and bowed with a smile:
"How is it possible? By the way...my ancient gold pound...?"
Fang Senyan said in astonishment:
"Didn't your ancient gold pound lose to Mouse Shante and the others?"
Kerry's expression immediately froze, and his smile seemed uglier than crying.
"But… "
But at this time Sheyan had already turned around and walked below the deck... The muscles on Kerry's face kept trembling, and it took him a while to close his eyes and let out a breath, comforting himself:
"It's not cheap, you bastards!"
Although being hacked of two ancient gold pounds made Kerry extremely heartbroken, he finally found the root cause of Sheyan's forcibly standing up for him - no doubt it was the temptation of those two ancient gold pounds! This undoubtedly dispelled Kerry's original doubts. But Kerry ignored one thing, that is, if Sheyan really stood up for him for two ancient gold pounds, then why did he have to explain so many things to him just now? Anyway, Kerry at this time is also a completely insignificant contractor to him!
If the Caribbean Sea today showed its turbulent majesty during the day, it calmed down at night, with only slight waves shaking the hull, making the entire sea seem like a comfortable big bed that can be used for naps. There are already many pirate ships moored around Hope Island, with bright torches on them to illuminate the road, and seven or eight large fires are lit in the center of the island, and you can see shadowy figures dancing around. Dancing samba and swigging rum.
This is the life of pirates, drifting with the tide, living and dying on the sea, abandoning fear and sorrow in their hearts, leaving only hysterical carnival and the free and easy of being drunk now! The Bell and Wineglass passed through the waves briskly, and approached Hope Island as if gliding. A group of people had already gathered on the shore to welcome them, and Armand was completely new, and he took the lead to stand on the beach with satisfaction. In front of the gangplank, Scar Henry, Navigator Charles and others stood behind him, but Fang Sheyan was quietly mingling among the pirates behind, as if he didn't intend to show off at all. The pirates respected and feared this "Sailor's Rock from the East" at this time, but Armand was very satisfied with Sheyan's low-key, nodded slightly, and followed the people who greeted him to the shore with big strides, obviously going directly to the shore. Went to a high-level meeting of the pirate group.
As soon as Armand left, these pirates immediately dispersed like ants in a frying pan. It is absolutely impossible to expect them to be banned like the regular army. They all rushed towards the seven or eight big fires on the island. past. There are free spirits, barbecue, dice, cards, and tobacco. These are the pirate captains' own pockets to reward these subordinates for victory, and they are also important things in the lives of pirates that cannot be replaced.
Sheyan looked at the empty deck, turned to Kerry and said:
"Do you want to go to the island?"
Kerry seemed to move on purpose, but in the end he shook his head in pain, because his memory of what happened on the Bell and Wineglass was still fresh. For him who lacks the ability to protect himself, it is hard to say that someone slashed his neck with a knife and threw him into the sea on this dark island.
Sheyan waved his hand casually and said, "That's up to you." Then he stepped on the springboard and landed on the beach.
The scenery of Hope Island can be said to be excellent, not inferior to those top beach tourist areas in later generations, and the fine and white sand is fascinating. Fang Senyan didn't have the slightest intention to stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he also walked straight to those big fires. The purpose of Fang Senyan's visit to the island this time is also very simple, that is, he still has a quest item in his hand, which is the "heart that is still beating" that was dropped by the rotting soul corpse after chewing on his ear.
Although this quest item pointed to two quest branches, Sheyan chose the second officer Barry on the Flying Dutchman instead of Blackbeard after careful consideration. For Fang Sheyan, if he missed today's period when pirates gathered together, it would be difficult to meet this old Barry.
When there were still one or two hundred meters away from the fire in the central square, the loud noise from a large number of pirates could be heard clearly. These ferocious pirates who kill without blinking an eye are no different from a group of drunks at this time. Sheyan saw a few familiar faces, they were the pirates from the Bell and Cup, so he walked over and sat down, and cut a piece of paper on the grill. He took a big bite of the big piece of oily meat, then took the wine bag in the hand of the somewhat sluggish pirate next to him and drank it dry, smacked his lips, and let out a long, comfortable sigh.
The pirate sitting next to Sheyan was staying on the Bell and Wine Cup. He witnessed Sheyan's decisive command in the naval battle, and later singled out the feat of the rotting corpse. Naturally, he admired him. It seemed that he didn't drink enough, so he immediately went to drink another big bag of wine.
At this time, the wine bags are generally made of animal skin, and then soaked in a juice called "Jidi Grass" and then dried to avoid soaking. A full bag of wine weighs at least two or three catties. The drinking method of using the wine bag is also quite unique. After pulling out the cork at the mouth of the bag, lift the wine bag to your face with both hands, fully straighten your arms, and squeeze it lightly with your hands, and the wine in the bag will be like a water gun. Generally, it is injected into the mouth. When you have drunk enough, you can stop drinking with your hands gently outward. Beginners dare not straighten their arms, and the wine does not align with their mouths. They often wet their entire face and the front of their clothes before taking a sip. But Fang Sheyan drank half a bag of wine before, but immediately drank the new bag of wine completely. Such a large amount of wine could not help but make the pirates beside him look sideways in amazement, and asked this strange face in whispers. Who is Kong.
