Chapter 2 The Dark Cellar

Alamis's family originally opened a tavern, but after his bankruptcy, his parents were forced to death by a debt collector, so he got on the boat and became a pirate. Therefore, he knew better about the tavern. He could find the secrets of the wine cellar, and he also knew how to read and count. This was also a talent in the environment without popular education.

In contrast, Ajin was a fisherman who was surrounded by other small gangs around William. He was extorted by a gang like a fisherman. After a conflict, he accidentally killed someone and simply joined the pirates. Because the commercial liquidity in the dock area is high, although Ajin has not received a proper education, he still knows some words and is considered semi-illiterate.

The last seventeen-year-old boy named Wallon was born as a farmer and was simply illiterate.

Therefore, everything has a bad side and a good side. If people only focus on the latter, they will easily become overly optimistic, but if they only focus on the former, they will easily become depressed and lose confidence.

During the days when he had just traveled, William learned from Robinson who had wandered to a deserted island and made a list for himself in his heart, and listed both good and bad sides on it, intending to encourage himself, help him get active, and win back his confidence in survival.

At least, this body is young and healthy, unlike his body that was poisoned by tobacco and alcohol for many years in his previous life. He also received a good education from memory and even received a certain degree of swordsmanship. Although the original owner of this body looked a bit useless and did not work hard at the beginning, even so, this basic thing allowed William to stand out on the pirate ship with his skills, which is also an important reason why he can become the leader of the small gang.

He started from scratch since he started from scratch. He also worked hard from scratch in his previous life. Although it is a little more difficult now, there is more room for improvement in the future.

Alamis just looked at the room for a moment, then stopped looking at it, and took William along the house to a yard behind the tavern.

He bent down to observe the soil for a while, and quickly clapped his hands. After attracting the attention of William in the courtyard, he said proudly: "Finished."

Alamis came under a grape vine rack in the yard, pulled it a few times, and then opened a small wooden board covered with weeds. The door of this cellar was disguised and the location was in the shadows under the grape rack. If you don't pay attention, you will be easily overlooked.

The wooden board was lifted and exposed the narrow aisle behind it, which was pitch black inside. William did not rush to go in, and set up a pergola with his hand and squinted his eyes to look inside.

William waited for a few minutes, and after Alamis was a little impatient, he threw a pillow in his hand along the aisle into the dark cellar.

As William expected, an unknown object suddenly broke into the cellar triggered a commotion.

A gunshot from "Bang!" suddenly came from the cellar. Alamis was startled and immediately saw William waving at him, and then rushed into the cellar with his command.

William's previous actions were just worried that there was a person hiding in the cellar. The aisle of the cellar was so narrow that it could only allow one person to pass through, and there was no room for dodging. If there was a person hiding inside, he only needed a gun to shoot the person entering the cellar as a living target. He waited for a few minutes to make the people who might be hiding in the cellar suspicious and kept tense. He couldn't help but shoot after the pillow was thrown in.

William is now in the East China Sea, where he is located, uses old-fashioned flintlock pistols. It takes a lot of effort to load a bullet. After hearing the gunshot, he did not give the other party time to load the bullets, and directly threw his waist into the dark cellar.

There was a narrow staircase at the entrance of the cellar. William rushed over in the blink of an eye and fell onto the flat ground. A figure suddenly turned out from the wooden beam next to the stairs, hoping to sneak attack while he was not stable. However, William was prepared for his eyes to adapt to this environment. Although the cellar was pitch black, it was not as bright as the ground, but William had prepared for his eyes to adapt to this environment before.

William gently sided and avoided the attacker's weapon. Then he poked out his left hand like lightning, grabbed the other party's wrist, pulled it forward, and moved away from the narrow stairs of the wine cellar.

The light poured from the cellar gate hit the attacker's face. William took this opportunity to see the other party's appearance clearly. He was a boy of only fourteen or fifteen years old. He was trying hard to break free from William's left hand that was holding his wrist like an iron hoop, and his face looked ferocious.

Without hesitation, William directly hit the boy's temple with a knife. The other party rushed to the ground and fainted.

All this happened in the flash of lightning. At this time, Alamis rushed in immediately. He followed the space that William made way out and rushed directly into the cellar. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged woman holding a pistol and pointing at the entrance of the cellar stairs in amazement.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be frightened and kept holding the gun. A few smoke was still coming from the muzzle of the pistol. Alamis knew that the gun just started firing, so she shouted softly and rushed forward in three or two steps. She slapped the woman's pistol with one hand, and grabbed the other's neck with the other hand, and exerted force, and spitted the woman to the ground without hesitation.

Alamis ignored the woman who was thrown by him and turned her head to look around, trying to see if there were any enemies, but when he looked at the corner where the wine barrel was placed on the right, he suddenly screamed in a complicated expression: "William!"

William hurried over and followed Alamis' gaze and found that a little girl was hiding in that corner.

The little girl looked about ten years old, wearing a braid with oil and wearing only a thin dress in a cold cellar. She squatted on the ground, tears kept overflowing like lines, but she tried hard to bite her right hand, which was curled into a fist, without making any sound.

She also saw William and Alamis, so she cried even harder. Her body kept trembling, but she still didn't make any sound. Instead, she shrank her body, making her look smaller, as if she hoped that in this way, Alamis and William would not be able to see her.

William and Alamis looked at each other, and then Alamis whispered: "What should I do?"

"...Bundle them all first." William said in a deep voice.

Alamis responded, then quickly put a rope out of his arms and tied the struggling woman to the wooden beams of the cellar.

The woman had a slim figure and a charming appearance. The young Aramis secretly took advantage of her when she was tied up. William didn't pay attention. He looked at the cellar door, and a series of footsteps came. As the light dimmed, Ajin, who had a vigilant look, had already bent down and walked in.
