Chapter 6 Raven

When it was dawn, the sea train stopped at the Plang Town Station.

Although sea trains have been developed for many years, they have only entered the public operation stage last year, and their routes and transportation ranges are quite limited. This small town, more than 300 kilometers away from the Water Capital, is the extreme east point that can be reached along the track.

The 78th branch is located in Earl Island, which is still hundreds of kilometers away from here. You need to transfer at the station and take a merchant ship to go there.

The station is open air, and the cold wind blows, making it look more and more deserted.

Colonel Heck got off the train in a daze, looked blankly at the sky for a while, and then looked blankly at Vito and others smiling and waved goodbye to the old driver, watching the sea train that turned around, and embarked on the return journey to the Water Capital.

Everything that happened last night was like a dream. Heck even felt that he hadn't woken up yet. Otherwise, why would he always feel that the five crows on the tree opposite the station sign were staring at him?

They were five larger black ravens, which seemed to be carved from a template. Heck went left, and the five crows also moved slowly to the left of the branch and to the right. The crows moved backwards and horizontally again...

There was no squeak from beginning to end, and my dark eyes didn't blink.

The silent scene is full of weirdness.

"Hell."

He felt a little upset. While he was hesitating whether to pull out his gun to drive away the crows, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, but Vito and others bid farewell to the driver, crossed his position and left the station, and walked straight towards the dock at the other end of the town.

Heck hurriedly followed.

He knew that his current identity was no different from half of the prisoner, and he was very conscious all the way, lowering his eyebrows and hanging his head at the end.

But as he was about to reach the dock, Vito and others in front suddenly stopped their pace, separated from each other, and gave him to the front.

"Mr. Vito?"

Heck was stunned, and as soon as he raised his head in confusion, he suddenly heard a warm greeting, coming from a distance:

"Col. Colonel Heck, here, here! Oh, I've been waiting here for a long time, and you've finally arrived!"

Heke looked in the sound and found a tall and thin middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes on the shore of the port, waving to him while strode towards him.

Don't know.

No matter how hard he racked his brains to recall, Heck could not find the face corresponding to the middle-aged man in his memory, but the other party accurately called out his identity. Could it be that he was from the base of Branch 78?

As if he saw his doubts, Vito, who was on the back, chuckled:

"Don't think too much, Mr. Colonel, this is the merchant ship manager I sent to contact with last night. It happened to be from the commercial family on Earl Island. They stayed here for one more day in order to take you to the 78th branch base."

"oh oh."

Heck then woke up. He looked at Vito from the corner of his eyes without leaving any trace. The latter was already standing behind as if nothing had happened, as if he was standing silently, as if he was really a subordinate he brought over.

This guy... could actually arrange people to do business at the station in Plang Town in advance. How many people did he bring out from the mountains? The other party claimed that he had tens of thousands of subordinates. Although it was definitely impossible to bring everyone out, no matter what, it was definitely far more than the few around him, right?

Thinking about his resume before, he was checked out by the other party early. Heck was in a complicated and heavy mood, and he felt like he could never look back if he accidentally got on the pirate ship.

"Colonel!"

At this time, the thin middle-aged man also came to him and bent down to Heckju with a humble salute. Heck looked him up and down for a moment, and then nodded with his belly, which was a barely response.

After all, he is a colonel of the Navy branch. Although he is well-behaved in front of Vito and others in the past two days, he is the top leader on Earl Island, so he will naturally not be polite to the merchants on the island who rely on his own.

This kind of appearance of posing in the air was taken for granted by the thin middle-aged man. When he stood up, he did not care about Colonel Heck's contempt at all, and his face was filled with a flattering smile that squeezed out:

"Last night, Captain Vito said that you are going to change boats to take office at the station in Plang Town today. I immediately took over the job and didn't even call the elders in the family. After all, it is the honor of our entire family to be lucky enough to carry a big man like you. When we look back on the island, the head of the family probably has to praise me for his winks after learning the news..."

The tall and thin man was talking over there. Heck was still interested in listening to his praise at first, but he became a little impatient afterwards. He reached out to interrupt and looked at the man and asked:

"Which family do you belong to Earl Island?"

"If you go back to the Colonel, the villain belongs to the Hansen family. Our family is doing a tobacco cloth business. Every year, we will trade several islands on the south side of the Great Road along a fixed route."

The tall and thin man who was interrupted was not angry, but was excited after hearing Heck's words and said with a flattering face, "The youngest is the leader of the merchant ship this time. Just call me Sweet."

He held the idea of ​​getting close, but Heck didn't think much of it. After a simple nod, he asked straight to the point: "Then have our room arranged?"

"Don't worry! I arranged for people to be vacated overnight last night. It was definitely the best rooms on the boat!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Heck waved his hand and said impatiently, "Let's go now, I don't want to stay in this cold and dying ghost place."

"Hey, hey, okay, come with me."

The tall and thin man hurriedly agreed, but when he turned around to lead the way, he remembered that Heck had just said that the open-air pier was cold, and a strange look appeared on his face.

This precious figure is really used to being in Marinfan, who is like spring all year round. Do you feel cold? Then if you go to Earl Island, wouldn’t you have to spend the whole year complaining?

Heck followed behind and did not notice the change in the face of the little person in his eyes. In fact, his mind was not about boarding the ship at all, but recalled and pondered the title of the tall and thin man mentioned Vito just now.

Captain Vito.

What is this? Do you book a position in advance before you get angry with yourself?

Heck was a little confused. It was difficult to get a job for this position. After all, he was only one step away from the position of the school official, and he was considered a middle-level elite in a branch base.

He had never thought of arranging such positions for his followers before. Even the thin monkey man he relied most, the first unlucky guy who was shot, was only planned to give him the title of lieutenant. The captain and lieutenant were only one level away, but the difficulty of operating the secret box was more than a little bit less.

But the situation is stronger than others. Now I am just a prisoner. What other requirements can I make besides doing what Vito wants?
