Chapter 23 Who are you?


Chapter 23 Are you?

I feel bad, but no sailor dares to cause trouble in the Wind and Waves Tavern.

The way they looked at Xia En also changed subtly, with a bit of awe and vigilance.

On the Seven Seas, the law of the jungle has always been followed.

Naturally, sailors have a strong culture.

The duel between Xia En and An undoubtedly proved himself.

This is also one of Xia En’s purposes.

Sometimes hiding your strength too much will only cause unnecessary trouble. Showing part of your strength appropriately can cover up things you really don't want outsiders to know.

【I lost. 】

At this time, An came to Xia En and wrote on the cardboard.

[Captain Xia En’s martial virtue is abundant and superior to mine. 】

【I am convinced that I lost. 】

【Then, please accept my allegiance, Ann Duarte Karloff! 】

After writing, An half knelt down on one knee to Xia En, lowered his head and saluted.

This is a unique etiquette of the knight family. When An salutes, his movements are even more meticulous, looking focused and solemn.

In order to cooperate with his performance, Xia En also put on a serious face and said solemnly.

"I accept your allegiance!"

The moment the words fell, whether it was Xia En's illusion, he actually felt that he and An had established some kind of invisible connection.

Xia En suddenly had a realization in his heart.

In this world, etiquette itself has mystery and power.

And [Knight] is also one of the many secret professions.

The process of An's loyalty to him actually conformed to the ritual of the [Knight's] secret path, which was why he had some unusual feelings.

Although he didn't know what the use of this connection was, Xia En was still very satisfied with An.

Although it seems that Shane won easily, it was purely because his numerical value was too high.

Having acquired the attributes of a ship, his physical fitness has long been developed to surpass that of humans.

Among ordinary humans, An is already a rare strong man, able to easily defeat ten.

Used in boarding battles, it is definitely a killer weapon!

At this time, An stood up again and wrote.

【From now on, you will be my captain for life! 】

【I will protect your safety with my life! 】

【The sea will witness my vow. 】

Wait, a lifelong captain?

The corner of Xia En's mouth trembled, and he felt a little weird. Why did these words sound so heavy?

He may not necessarily stay at sea for the rest of his life!

Xia En suddenly discovered something.

Ann is indeed very loyal and meets her own requirements.

But he seems... a little too loyal?

But now the deal is done, Xia En has already accepted the allegiance ceremony, and there is no way he will go back on his word.

In a strange mood, Xia En took An and the boatman to Bisi to say goodbye.

He originally wanted to pay the agency fee, but after asking, he found out that Bisi had made a huge profit just from the bets on the duel, so he simply waived this small amount of money.

"What a rich and generous lady."

Xia En left the Wind and Waves Tavern with emotion and walked towards the port where the Black Swan was docked.

An needed to pack her luggage, so she did not go with him.

Back on the deck, Joey was nowhere to be seen. He must have been handling personal matters on the island.

So, Xia En took advantage of this time to explain his requirements to the taciturn shipwright.

After listening, the bald master nodded.

"No problem, but it will take a week to complete."

"A week? A bit too long, right?"

Xia En frowned slightly, he did it once a day Opportunities for snorkeling, snorkeling near Duke Island, the profit is obviously very low.

Over and over again, this is equivalent to losing money every day!

"Is there any way to make it faster?"

"Yes." The bald shipwright was also very happy and directly pointed out a clear path to Xia En.

"Just hire a few more people to work together, but the wages must be a little more..."

"Oh, more money, right? Easy to talk about!"

Xia En realized instantly that he was not short of money anyway, so he might as well spend it early and enjoy it early.

In the end, Xia En commissioned the bald shipwright to find a few helpers to renovate the ship at a price of 45 silver snake coins, immediately shortening the expected time to three days.

After all, this is just a small modification, and with the blessing of currency ability, it naturally does not take much time.

"However, money is really flowing like water..."

Xia En weighed his money bag, feeling a little distressed.

The more than 600 silver snake coins were not warmed up yet, and in the blink of an eye there were only more than 200 left. In addition, some supplies on the ship, such as salt, spices, and cleaning supplies, were also needed, which was another huge expense.

“If you’re not a family, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.”

“Do I have to find a special accountant to help me manage my money?”

Of course, I want to think about accounting now. It’s really too far-fetched.

After entrusting the shipwright with full authority to repair the ship, Xia En walked to the deck to get some air, and saw a strange girl face to face.

She was wearing a clean and tidy women's light chainmail shirt. Her face was young and delicate, and her skin was fair and delicate, like a fragile porcelain doll.

The most eye-catching thing is the hair on the top of her head.

It was as white as snow!

The soft white hair is spread on both shoulders, and the girl's red eyes add a bit of mystery and dreamy temperament.

Except for being a little short and having a flat chest, she is already considered a rare beauty.

At this time, the girl was looking at Xia En nervously, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with her delicate hands.

Xia En was confused.

Who are you?

Why did you suddenly appear on my ship?

Could it be a love debt from the original person?

After holding it in for a long time, Xia En couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"

"Mr. Captain, it's me!"

The girl shouted slightly aggrieved.

“…Joy?”

Hearing this voice, Xia En finally recognized the girl’s identity.

But his mood was getting weirder.

Although Xia En knew that Joey was a girl before, he didn't know that Joey was such a good-looking girl!

Previously, Joey had kept his head down, and his hair was as messy as seaweed, covering most of his small face. If you could see clearly, there would be ghosts.

Seeing Xia En's silence for a long time, Joey lowered his head again and said humbly: "Sure enough, is the previous look more suitable for me?"

"I'm going to dye my hair back right now. , Sorry, I scared Mr. Captain..."

"Wait!"

Xia En quickly stopped her: "Who said this look is not suitable for you? I think it's good!"

"Really?"
< br>Joy raised his head expectantly, his eyes pitiful.

Xia En said categorically: "Of course it's true! When did I lie to you?"

"Great."

Joy breathed a sigh of relief.

After the little girl calmed down, Shane asked curiously: "Why did you dye your hair that color and cover your eyes before?"

Joy whispered He replied: "Because of the color of my hair and eyes, when I was a child, everyone was afraid of me. They called me...monster."

Xia En suddenly understood that the aesthetics of people in this world are obviously not very good. Can accept this image.

But he was a Chinese in his previous life.

White hair and red eyes are a good civilization!
