Chapter 911 The kindness of Priest White
As soon as these words came out, the look on One-Eyed Buck's face immediately changed and he said:
"Guys, it seems we are out of luck! What are you afraid of? This Priest White often visits our territory. I think you'd better avoid it for the time being!"
Gu Xiaole glanced at a small speedboat that was about to dock on the pier not far away, and then looked at the expression on the one-eyed Buck. He knew that this guy was not lying, so he waved his hand and said:
"Alida, you take them back to the yacht for a while. I will accompany Mr. Buck to meet with Priest White!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Lei and the others became a little anxious.
The little girl Mu Xue was the first to jump out in disagreement and said:
"Sir, it would be nice for them to be watched by Sister Carlisle on the yacht. I must accompany you here!"
"This..." One-eyed Buck gasped and said:
"Priest White will not be suspicious when he sees a girl. I'm worried that he will have doubts about your identity!"
Gu Xiaole glanced at Mu Xue, who was extremely determined, and said thoughtfully:
"It doesn't matter, just give us the clothes of your men!"
…
A few minutes later, One-Eyed Buck led a group of men to the dock of the island and stood on both sides with their heads bowed respectfully, waiting for the arrival of Priest White.
Soon, five people got off the speedboat. The leader was a middle-aged man with a big belly and some baldness. Behind him were four temple personnel wearing uniforms.
"Priest White, what kind of wind brings you to our remote place today?"
One-eyed Buck hurriedly greeted him attentively and said.
White glanced at Buck, then at his men standing on both sides, and said with a grin:
"This morning, a ship carrying special cargo was intercepted in the waters near you! Archbishop Field in Athens was very angry. He has already sent a message asking us to kill all the pirates nearby within 10 days.
Clear it out!”
Speaking of this, White suddenly paused and said:
"Do you know who intercepted that ship?"
One-eyed Buck wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said:
"I, I really don't know! Priest White, we have been friends for a long time! You have taken care of us a lot in the past, and we have paid you a lot of respect! Don't you know what we are capable of?"
Priest White smiled and nodded and said: "Although I don't really believe that you have the ability to intercept the important materials of our religion, I have no choice but to send orders from above!
Someone, come and search for me!"
One-eyed Buck was obviously used to this kind of scene, and he said quickly:
"No problem, you, you, you, you guys, go and accompany these guys to do a good search! Mr. White, please come over here. I just got a batch of good brandy recently, and I haven't had a chance to find an expert.
Come and give it a taste. It just so happens that a great wine connoisseur like you is here today, so I will shamelessly trouble you!"
After saying that, he let Priest White sit down at the table next to the pier, and immediately ordered his men to bring over a bottle of brandy and a wine glass.
White is obviously an alcoholic. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw the brandy being served. When the wine was poured into the glass, the guy couldn't wait to take it and took a sip first. Then he closed his eyes and seemed to be savoring it carefully.
The taste of it.
After a long while, the guy slowly exhaled a breath of alcohol and said:
"The taste is pure but not greasy, and the taste is spicy but not spicy. It is indeed a vintage wine! Where did your wine come from?"
Upon hearing the other party's tone, the one-eyed Buck let out a sigh of relief and said:
"I asked someone to buy this from the mainland a few days ago!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this answer, Priest White rolled his eyes and asked sharply: "Bought it? Stop fucking farting! Don't I know you? You are a guy who still spends money to buy things? Where did you rob?
Coming?"
The one-eyed Buck blushed when he was questioned and said with a smile: "No, no, no! Isn't it just that a small merchant ship passed by our door a few days ago, so my brother and I just went to make a small ticket!
"
Who would have thought that after hearing this answer, the anger on Priest White's face became less angry. He stretched out his hand and asked Buck to pour himself another glass and took a sip before saying:
"Damn it! No wonder there is no good wine in the taverns on Crete now. I knew they were all robbed by you grandsons! How much of this wine do you have?"
"Three boxes in total! I'll ask people to load them all for you in a moment!" One-eyed Buck quickly filled another cup and replied.
White drank the third glass of brandy and then nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are a sensible kid! But please be more honest with me recently. The pressure on us from above is also quite high. Don't make it difficult for me."
Do!"
Seeing that White was getting up and wanting to leave, One-Eyed Buck quickly came closer and asked:
"Then you just mentioned Archbishop Field's crackdown on pirates?"
White glanced at him and said: "What's in your head? In which year are we not allowed to raid pirates several times?
Use your pig brain to think carefully, if you pirates are really wiped out, then do we, the Knights of the Temple, all go home to farm?"
One-Eye said yes repeatedly. At this time, the four Temple Knights who had just disembarked with White also returned to the dock.
"What did you gain?" White asked in a pretentious manner.
The four people who had obviously received the benefits looked at each other and replied in unison:
"No, no, this poor island is so poor that there is nothing we are looking for!"
"It's good that we didn't find it! We can go up and report it! Old Buck, please remember what I just said to you. Don't cause trouble!"
You know, to deal with you guys, our temple can level this island in minutes!"
As Priest White spoke, he walked to the edge of the pier and prepared to board the ship. Suddenly he looked back at the pirates who had been standing by the pier and asked:
"Why have you added new members to your team recently?"
One-eyed Buck was stunned. Before he could reply, he saw White walking up to a little man who was obviously shorter than the other pirates:
"This boy is very handsome, where did you kidnap him from?"
It turns out that the little man he was talking about was the little girl Mu Xue wearing pirate clothes.
At this time, she was wearing a dirty sailor uniform, her face was smeared with oil stains and mud, and her short hair was completely wrapped in a scarf.
He really looks no different from a teenager.
Priest White squatted down, looked at it carefully and said:
"Looking at his facial features, he looks like an Oriental? Old Buck, don't you say this is your son?"
One-eyed Buck quickly explained: "No, no! This kid is just a survivor who encountered wind and waves at sea a few days ago and drifted to us!"
"Survivors? People like you are still so kind to take in survivors?" White suspiciously stretched out his hand to touch Mu Xue's little face...
But at this time, a big hand blocked his hand, and a cool voice suddenly said:
"Sir, for the sake of your health, I think it would be better for you to retract your hand?"
Priest White was stunned. He never expected that someone would dare to talk to him like this in such a small pirate den, so he looked around and saw a tall, thin young man looking at him with a joking look on his face.
"Who are you? If you dare to talk to me like this, don't you know the consequences?"
As soon as Priest White said these words, the four temple knights who came with him immediately surrounded him. Looking at his posture, just one word from White would kill Gu Xiaole in minutes...
But this is normal. On this island, White could not only kill an unknown little pirate, but also kill them all without even a few words.
When the one-eyed buck saw that the situation was not good, he quickly came over to smooth things over and said:
"Master White, don't mind! Didn't you see that these two people have oriental faces? They are actually father and daughter. They drifted to our island due to a shipwreck and were kindly taken in by me.
It’s just that it’s very difficult for them to speak our words, so he just didn’t express what he meant, and that’s why he offended you!”
"The words don't convey the meaning?" White sneered and waved, and the four temple knights surrounding Gu Xiaole took a step back.
White came closer, stared at Gu Xiaole for a while and said:
"Are you and your son going to be pirates on this island for the rest of your lives?"
At this time, Gu Xiaole kept using his hands to calm the excitement of the little girl Mu Xue beside him. If he hadn't just stretched out his hand to stop her, the hand that White stretched out might have been gone.
Upon hearing the other party's question, Gu Xiaole immediately smiled attentively and said in halting English:
"My son and I are both outsiders. We encountered a shipwreck and were taken in by these people. So we can only do this first? Sir, do you have any better errands for us?"
White shifted his gaze from Gu Xiaole's face to Mu Xue next to him, and sneered:
"You are quite smart, right? In a few days, take your son to the temple headquarters on Crete to find me. I may be able to arrange some odd jobs for you two!"
"Thank you, Lord White!"
