Pirate Alliance: Chapter 21 beak of black passerine corvid
The windless belt, the fifth day.
The voyage of the Giant can almost be described in terms of days. As time goes by, everyone's spirits become more and more tense, and even Qiubai is no exception... This can be seen from the fact that the frequency of his rants has dropped significantly. can be confirmed.
If what happened to Peibo happened today, he would definitely not be able to show the energy of persuasion and education he had before.
And now that even Qiubai is not very talkative, you can imagine what the situation of the crew is.
This boat is like "dead". If there is no need, no one will say a word more. The silence between people creates an atmosphere called "suffocation".
Regarding the matter of Peibo, Qiubai also gave some brief explanations to Captain Grisha after finishing his work, including his origin and so on... In theory, Grisha has the final say on everything on this ship. The will of the captain in such a voyage cannot be violated.
Unless someone wants to come aboard... but on this ship, that can't happen, because here only Grisha has the sailing knowledge that everyone can trust.
Without him, everyone would have to finish the game.
As for Qiubai's statement that he wanted to "manage" the bear directly, Captain Grisha agreed without even thinking about it. In fact, for the bear of unknown origin, he preferred to use something similar to "throwing directly into the sea". A more civilized and safe way to deal with it, but since Qiubai is willing to keep it, let him keep it first.
Even if they know the ins and outs, it is difficult for ordinary people to regard fur tribes as equal intelligent creatures. Humans often only regard them as animals that can talk, and they cannot escape the category of "beasts".
This attitude of overlooking other creatures is probably one of the fundamental reasons why the fur tribe is hostile to humans.
And Grisha agrees with Qiubai's request on a deeper basis. After these days, he seems to have understood that Qiubai is not a simple person, and certain knowledge makes his attitude more cautious.
Of course, the captain could understand Qiubai smashing the violent bear on the ground.
So this is the case for the time being. As of now, Grisha just wants to stop messing around. As long as the Giant can reach the North Sea safely, everything can be said.
Their experience in the past few days is definitely "magnificent". The most dangerous one happened one day ago. At that time, the whole boat was scared by a huge sea king that passed through the bottom of the boat.
Fortunately, the Giant has always been without danger, and now, the days of fear and fear are coming to an end. According to the captain's estimate of the speed and range, they will soon be out of the windless zone.
Grisha was definitely the most tired person on this boat. After entering the windless zone, he never rested.
Compared with the captain, Qiubai's condition can only be described in three words. At this time, he started fishing again, fishing with sincerity.
Although the difficulty level of doing this kind of work on the site of the sea kings is S, but Qiubai has to do it... Although the captain agreed to Qiubai's request, he refused to provide the bear's rations, only a little freshwater.
In fact, for a race like Peibo, they are much stronger than weak humans. In theory, there is no problem in starving for four or five days, but no one can control the hunger.
Considering that Peibo had become his own "bear", even if he couldn't catch any fish, Qiubai squeezed out part of his food to feed the bear.
This kind of behavior moved Peibo deeply. He has completely changed Qiubai's image. As long as Qiubai speaks, he is definitely a "good person".
This kind of thinking...it's pitiful, Pebble is probably the first bear in history to have Stockholm Syndrome.
Of course, a more important prerequisite is that Qiubai tells Peibo that as long as he can master the navigation skills, he can return to Zhuowu at any time. According to Qiubai, human beings cannot be trusted. This glorious mission must be done in person.
He's not completely frightening the bear, you must know that in some special auction houses, the reserve price of the fur family is 700,000 Baileys.
In this world, human trafficking is still an absolute "sunrise industry" at this time, and people are "rushing", and there are countless practitioners.
Peibo left his hometown because of an accident, and returning to Zhuo Wu was a thought that went deep into his heart. Qiubai could understand this, and he really thought about Xiong... At this time, he probably forgot, if it wasn't for Qiubai, Under the premise of ability, he could have returned to his hometown at any time.
It has to be said that sometimes intelligent creatures are easier to deal with than beasts, because they are often persuaded, inspired, and bewitched by specious words.
If you fool a bear, Qiubai is a bit overkill. Of course, as we all know, Qiubai definitely doesn't have any bad intentions...probably doesn't have any bad intentions.
At this time, Ellen and Peibo, who are the first and second younger brothers, have established a cordial relationship of "love the bears", and if you want to find the most spiritual creatures on this day's ship, it is definitely these two ten Year-old bear children topped the list.
"It's probably going to be out of the windless zone soon. After reaching Beihai, what should we do?" Ain, who had been standing behind Qiubai, asked.
Qiubai first lifted the hook to take a look... There must be nothing to gain. If he really wanted to catch something, it would actually be better to leave the job to Ellen.
"There will always be a way."
He turned his back to Ain and replied, if you can even pass through the windless belt, are you worried that you will not be able to find your destination when you reach the North Sea?
"But..." Qiu Bai said a but while throwing the hook back into the sea.
"I always feel that our journey to the windless belt will not end so easily."
This is not what he is looking forward to, but it is too unrealistic to say that all the way along the way is "near misses".
This is the windless zone where everything can be buried.
Although what Qiubai said is the truth, it's fine to keep this kind of words in your heart. There's really no need to say it, and even if you say it, it shouldn't come from Qiubai's mouth.
Sincere.
During the exchange between Qiubai and Ain, Captain Grisha was instructing the four crew members to carry out the stone powder for the last voyage from the cabin, but the bag of Hailou stone powder was moved to the bow of the ship, so far Everything is normal.
But just as they were pouring stone powder into the funnel, an accident happened.
With a small but extremely abrupt sound, the throttle valve in the funnel that controlled the flow rate of the stone powder was crushed by the sudden weight~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then the entire bottom plate of the funnel broke, and the stone powder was instantly dumped into the sea.
The movements of all the people on the deck suddenly froze.
Qiu Bai, who was sitting on the side of the boat, turned around immediately after hearing the movement, so he just saw the moment when the stone powder was sprinkled into the sea.
He immediately stood up, shoved the fishing rod into Ain's hand, and quickly walked to the captain's side.
"Captain, do you have any more stone powder?" Qiu Bai asked.
If there is still sea floor stone powder, then the funnel is still worth repairing... However, Captain Grisha shook his head with difficulty, "This is the last."
Considering the needs of the journey and the capacity of the cabin, as well as the fact that this thing itself is limited, the sea floor stone powder brought by the captain is sufficient but not "more than enough". Originally, the last bag was bound to be able to support the Giant's departure from the windless belt. But now...
Hearing what the captain said, Qiu Bai took out a knife out of nowhere, and then cut it straight at the bow of the ship: the huge funnel that was raised up was instantly "separated from the corpse" of the ship, and then fell into the sea water. , raised a large splash of water.
Qiubai is reducing the weight of the boat. At this time, one point is one point.
"Captain, throw away everything that should be thrown, and let everyone into the cabin."
"Ah?"
Unexpected situations make Grisha's brain a little weak, and desperation makes people shut down. There is nothing wrong with him... No matter how good he is, he is just an ordinary person from the bottom.
"We're going to run." Qiubai added.
Next, everyone with hands will have to rock the oars, and they need to work as hard as they can.
Then, the Giant was about to leave the windless belt.
immediately.
