In the cramped and damp cell, the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of blood filled the air, and the sound of snoring came from the cell next door.
Su Xiao could leave here at any time, but he did not do so. His previous plan had two branches. 1. If the hotel owner found a local snake, he would contact the local Royal Navy through the local snake, 2. If the hotel owner was
Law-abiding citizens will first be detained by the Navy, and then contact the top brass of the Navy through the Navy soldiers guarding the prison.
Don't underestimate the low-level navies who serve in prisons. They are very different from other low-level navies. Some pirates imprisoned in prisons will occasionally provide some information about their pirate groups in order to avoid being hanged.
For example, whether this pirate group is rich, whether it has robbed the empire's merchant ships, when it was robbed, and where the loot was.
For mid-level naval officers, the port prison is a good place to obtain military medals. If a pirate provides secrets about the four big pirates, the mid-level officers who know this information will be prosperous, and the road to promotion will be right in front of them.
Because of this, the low-level navy officers who guard the prison can see the cronies of the mid-level officers, so as to avoid the leakage of confidential information caused by repeated hands-on changes and the credit being taken away by others.
Ding~
Su Xiao bounced a gold coin. The gold coin fell outside the iron fence and made a series of crisp sounds. After a while, a booted foot stepped on the gold coin.
"cough."
The navy man, who was about 30 years old, coughed lightly and raised his chin at Su Xiao.
"Rum? Roast turkey? Mincemeat pie?"
The navy outside the cell asked in a low voice. He looked askance at the prisoner in the next cell. The prisoner immediately turned over and continued to sleep, facing the wall.
"Anything is fine."
"Just wait, there is rum that was just delivered to the port today. My name is Finn. If you need anything before you are executed, you can come to me."
The naval soldier who called himself Finn strode away. He clearly didn't bend down to pick it up. The gold coins on the ground had disappeared.
After a while, the cell door was opened. Finn held an oil paper bag and placed two bottles of wine and several kinds of food in front of Su Xiao.
"Are you the one who claimed to be a pirate and was arrested tonight?"
Finn sat opposite Su Xiao. He bit open the cork and drank rum leisurely.
"Well, it's me."
"You must have a good background. I have never seen a pirate as calm as you. Those pirates who claim to yearn for freedom will cry out their noses within a few days of arriving here, haha."
Finn frowned after taking a sip of wine.
"Maybe it's because I am the captain of the Doom."
"Hahahaha, Captain of the Doom, you really know how to joke. I am Finn, the King of the West Sea. Do you believe it?"
Finn smiled and shook his head, but in the next moment, the smile on his face solidified.
Tick tock, tick tock~
Sea water dripped from the ceiling, and the wall behind Su Xiao was gradually covered with barnacles and seaweed. The upper bodies of several cursed people protruded from the wall. They could not move forward. This was land, and they could only stay.
Inside the wall, do not step on the ground.
With a bang, the wine bottle in Finn's hand fell to the ground. He stood up slowly and stepped back step by step.
"Finn, are you willing to spend your whole life working as a low-level marine, being yelled at by your incompetent boss? The navy is a high-risk profession. If you die in the line of duty one day, your wife will have to marry another man in order to raise your children.
, so tragic.”
Su Xiao looked at Finn with a smile. Finn stepped back and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Look at these."
Su Xiao threw out five rusty identity tags. Finn hesitated for a moment before picking them up from the ground. His pupils shrank when he saw the name on one of the tags.
"Who is that."
Su Xiao raised his hand, and the cursed people behind him retreated into the wall. The barnacles and moss on the cell wall quickly receded and finally disappeared, and the cell returned to its previous appearance.
"Amance Murray."
Finn showed an identity card in his hand. He pondered for a moment and said, "This iron plate... this antique may be related to a big shot."
"Keep talking."
"That is the commodore of the Royal Navy, the supreme commander of the Second Ocean Fleet."
"brigadier."
Su Xiao narrowed her eyes. This position is not low in the navy. If you have a fleet under you, that is another concept. In the devil sea where pirates are rampant, naval generals with direct military authority are not easy to mess with, even the king of a principality.
, and don’t dare to provoke such people easily.
Finn's expression changed one after another. After thinking for about half a minute, he left quickly. After a while, he returned with a navy officer who looked like an officer.
Finn was very calm, thought over and over again, and decided not to overstep his authority to report. Although this would not make him fly into the sky, it would be safer. This is the wisdom of a small person.
Not long after, the cell where Su Xiao was located became lively. Five navy soldiers with strong auras were guarding the outside of the cell. The appearance of the cell was greatly changed. Not only was there a bed, but there were also some snacks on the table.
Until early the next morning, a man wearing a navy lieutenant's uniform stopped in front of the cell.
"Mr. Cuculin, Commodore Murray invites you to meet on the ship."
The lieutenant outside the cell hooked his finger at a navy soldier, and the navy soldier immediately listened.
Click, click.
Su Xiao's arms and shoulders were shackled with several rings. As soon as he walked out of the prison door, he saw two teams of navy standing outside. These navy's eyes were very sharp, and they looked like they had been fighting pirates at sea all year round.
.
Under the escort of more than a hundred elite naval soldiers, Su Xiao arrived at the dock from the side street of the port town. He did not see civilians along the way, so they must have been dispersed.
When he chose to declare himself the captain of the Doom, he expected to be feared by the Royal Navy, but this was also what he wanted to see.
Negotiations between the two parties must be based on equal status. In the Royal Navy's perception, Su Xiao is an extremely dangerous person, possibly more dangerous than the four great pirates. When the Doom was slaughtering creatures at sea, the four great pirates
My great-grandfather wasn’t even born yet.
A huge four-masted ship was moored in the port. The ship was painted in light yellow. Not counting the submerged part, the hull was three stories high. The sails were fully stowed, and there were two large rows of guns on each side of the hull.
Following the erected inclined ladder, Su Xiao walked onto the deck and entered the captain's cabin.
The captain's cabin is about 40 square meters in size. The wooden wall on the right side is covered with pirate hats. These were left behind by pirates who had been captured or killed by Commodore Murray and were taken as trophies by him.
Commodore Murray was sitting behind the wooden table in the back of the captain's cabin. On the table were charts, measuring instruments, telescopes, etc., arranged neatly.
Commodore Murray himself was holding a small file to trim his nails. Unlike the imagined Commodore, Commodore Murray's skin was a little baby white. He was wearing an off-white wig. He looked very easy-going and was no more than 35 years old.
age.
"What are you doing, treating my guests like this?"
Brigadier Murray put the small file in his hand back into the iron box and returned it to its original position. The sound was not loud.
"Brigadier General, he is..."
In the middle of Commodore Murray's adjutant's words, Commodore Murray glanced at him. The adjutant immediately did not dare to continue speaking and signaled the navy soldiers to remove the shackles on Su Xiao's body.
"Sit down, it's rare to see a legendary person. During the first 20 years of my life, I firmly believed that the Doom was just a legend."
"..."
Su Xiao sat in front of the wooden table and seemed to pick up the telescope on the table accidentally. In fact, this thing was of Holy Spirit level quality.
"You all stand down."
"grown ups!"
"Um?"
Brigadier General Murray looked at his adjutant. His adjutant contradicted him twice today. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not show it.
"Cukulin Baiye, can you tell me where you got that nameplate?"
"Not at the moment."
Su Xiao really couldn't tell the other party. He couldn't say that the other party's ancestors were on his ship.
