Chapter 337 The Invisible Enemy
In the restaurant of Starlight, sailors who have heard Brooke's story, recalling the dilapidated appearance of the pirate ship like a ghost ship, it is hard to imagine how Brooke survived alone in this environment over the past few decades. Because of pity, the sailors are no longer so disgusted with Brooke's identity as a pirate. Only Kaslana's face is not very good-looking, but for Portia's sake, it did not happen.
"If you want, you can leave this sea area by our boat," Joey Ferro said in a pondering voice, then glanced at William and others leaning against the restaurant window. "Anyway, there are already three outsiders on the boat, and you are not bad, but you'd better restrain your pirate habits. I think you have good strength and fight on the road, you have to join in."
Brooke stopped in the air with his teacup holding the teacup. After two seconds, he sighed, put down the teacup and stood up. He looked around and sat around the restaurant, listening to his story, and said sincerely: "I want to thank everyone. This is the most hearty and lively meal I have ever had in more than 40 years. But I still have to reject your proposal. I can't just leave. I still want to repair my companion's warship. If possible, can I borrow some tools and materials?"
Joey Ferro frowned and said, "It's not that I'm going to hit you, but your ship is already ruined. There are not many professional ship craftsmen who can't repair it at all. You said before that the rudder was broken, but you didn't see what the sails on the ship were broken. Even if you repair the rudder, the ship wouldn't think of driving out of the magic triangle sea area, let alone it just got a few shells."
In the end, Joey Ferro was a little embarrassed, which was also because he spoke out to invite Brooke to leave by boat. Brooke's experience was already very miserable, and the Starlight people bombarded his ships due to misunderstanding and fear. Joey Ferro and others were neither burning, killing, looting, pirates who had no psychological burden for crime, nor upholding justice. Their duty was to fight crime. They felt a little guilty when facing Brooke.
"But I don't want to throw my companion's bones into this gloomy and dark place." Brooke's skeleton's face was hard to easily see, but his tone sounded firm.
"We have only one boatman on our ship, and it is impossible to stay on your ship to repair it. Moreover, if you want to repair your ship, you need too many materials, and we don't have so many related materials on our ship." Joey Ferro told the truth.
Portia wanted to say something, but Caslana grabbed her wrist. She looked back at Caslana, but saw the latter wink at her and refused to let her speak.
In fact, Brooke can completely transfer his companion's corpse to the Starlight. Anyway, after these decades, Brooke's companion has become skeletons like him, so there is no need to worry about plague and other diseases.
But this can only be said by the owner of Portia, because from Brooke's previous description, we can see that his companions are quite large and the space and carrying capacity of the ship are limited. To move Brooke's companions' bones to the merchant ship, the merchant ship must first discard some cargo. Except for Portia, others, including Joey Ferro, it is difficult to open this.
In addition, although the crew members sympathized with Brooke's experience, they might not be able to accept it if they really wanted to live with a group of corpses and sail along the ship.
As the navy, Kaslana has more concerns than others. Brooke is a pirate after all, and Kaslana and Portia are good friends. She doesn't want Portia to have any twists and turns in this long journey where she invested most of her wealth.
Joey Ferro, the explosion head, just took the initiative to invite another explosion head to take a merchant ship, which has already made Caslana dissatisfied. If Brooke could voluntarily refuse to board the ship, it would be great.
"It's okay, I can repair it slowly by myself, first repair the rudder, and then repair other parts. I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't mind spending more time." Brooke didn't notice the little movements of Caslana and Portia, and said optimistically.
As soon as Brooke finished speaking, the ship suddenly shook. The many sailors in the restaurant were caught off guard and were knocked to death. After a while, the ship returned to normal.
Although William, Akin, and Selkirk also imitated other sailors and bumped and bumped into each other as if they could not maintain balance during the shaking just now, their faces were all the same with a hint of coldness.
The ship owner Portia was not injured except for her pale face, under the careful protection of her guard Clark and Kaslana.
The captain Joey Ferro looked a little embarrassed. The tea cup that Brooke had put down before fell on him. The tea wet his pants, but Joey Ferro had no time to care about this and hurried out of the restaurant gate, but as soon as he left the gate, he was stunned.
An island appeared in front of the ship at some point. A broken city wall stood outside the island. Through the collapsed part of the city wall, you can see a forest behind the city wall. After that, there is a mansion located on the hillside, which is looming in the fog.
What shocked Joey Ferro the most was not this island that seemed to have emerged out of thin air, but the remaining staff he arranged on the deck and the watchtower, who never passed on messages to him in the restaurant from beginning to end.
"What are you doing? Such a large island suddenly appears, and you don't even have a sound!" Joey Ferro raised his head and scolded loudly in the direction of Wang Dou.
But after Joey Ferro finished speaking, he did not hear a response from the people in Wangdou. Not only that, the ship was shaking so hard just now, and the people who stayed on the deck still did not come to him to report it, and the situation was also wrong.
Joey Ferro's heart tightened, and at this time the others came out of the restaurant. Joey Ferro asked someone to climb up to Wangdou to see what was going on inside, but Brooke volunteered and easily jumped onto Wangdou and found the observer inside who had been knocked unconscious.
When Joey Ferro heard Brooke's return, he immediately became alert and quickly arranged personnel to ask several teams to search the enemy everywhere in the ship, reminded them to be alert, and then took the people to the fore deck in person.
William and others followed Joey Ferro and arrived at the front deck and found that there were also several sailors who were knocked unconscious lying here.
The atmosphere in the field was solemn. Except for some speculations by William and his gang, no one else knew where the people who sneaked into the ship came from without knowing it. As the teams searched everywhere on the ship to report the news, Joey Ferro's face became increasingly ugly.
The rudder was man-made and had not gathered in the restaurant with others before. The boat doctor who was resting alone in the medical room was also attacked. He was injured more than the sailors found on the deck and in the watchtower. When he was discovered, he had fallen into a pool of blood and his breath was weak.
