We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

After sending Joey away, Shane didn't forget about business.

He first took the money to the Duke's Palace to pay off the debt.

The moment when the contract was torn into pieces in front of the old butler.

Xia En felt refreshed and relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Like many traditional Chinese people, Xia En actually hates owing others things, and if he doesn't have a certain amount of savings, he will fall into inexplicable anxiety.

Now that he has paid off his original debt, he feels like he has broken free from the shackles.

"Next, there are two more things to do."

Shane rubbed his chin and thought.

"One is to find a reliable shipwright to install the steam engine and main gun on the Black Swan."

"The second is to recruit a few sailors."

"If you want to solve these two things at once, it seems you have to go to that place..."

Not long after, Xia En arrived at the door of the largest tavern on Duke Island - [Wind and Waves Tavern].

As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of rum, pungent low-quality perfume, sweat, and noisy and boiling voices.

This taste is so strong!

Soon, a girl with most of her breasts exposed came forward and asked with a smile.

"Brother, are you here to play?"

As we all know, in addition to drinking, there are also some fun things to do in pubs.

[Wind and Waves Tavern] I didn’t see the wind, but the waves were definitely strong enough.

However, Shane had business to attend to.

He glanced at Bai Huahua's "evil" regretfully and said, "Call Boss Bisi for me and tell the captain of the Black Swan to look for her."

"Black Swan?"

The girl glanced at Xia En in surprise, but still didn't ask anything and turned to leave.

After a while, the girl came back with a strange expression.

"Follow me, the boss is waiting for you at the bar."

Shane followed her to the bar and saw a rich and generous lady.

This woman has a plump and tall figure. She wears bold and hot clothes. She wears sexy fishnet stockings under the short skirt that barely covers her thighs. Her long rose-red hair hangs like a waterfall behind her.

The previous girl had already been regarded as "looking like a ridge from the side but a peak from the side", but in front of this woman, she could only be regarded as a dwarf.

She is the owner of Fenglang Tavern, Bis, known as "Scarlet Rose"!

Xia En came to her because in his memory, she seemed to be having an affair with the original owner's father?

Now it seems...this cheap old man is very lucky!

"Are you Shane?"

Bisi looked Xia En up and down, her red lips parted slightly: "He is quite handsome, a bit like your father."

"I've also heard about you. Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

As a tavern owner, Bisi's intelligence network should not be underestimated, so she went straight to the point.

Xia En likes such cheerful people and said directly.

"I need reliable shipwrights and sailors. Please help Ms. Bisi recommend a few suitable candidates. The agency fee is negotiable."

The tavern owner is inherently a broker, so asking Bisi to help introduce him is better than looking for someone blindly like a headless fly on his own.

After listening, Bisi thought for a moment: "Shipbuilders are easy to find. As long as the money is available, I can find them for you right away."

"But a reliable sailor...it depends on your specific requirements."

Xia En already had a plan in his mind and said: "First of all, you must be loyal enough, at least you will not betray me when you are on my ship."

"Secondly, he must be physically strong and capable of doing the job of a salvager."

"It would be better if you don't talk much and don't have bad habits."

Bisi showed a strange look: "Loyalty? This is not a simple request."

You know, the moral quality of sailors is actually not much higher than that of pirates.

One by one, they are all mothers who have breasts and get on the ship when they are given money. Only the private army raised by the Duke of Nova has a slight sense of belonging.

Xia En also knew that his request was a bit overwhelming, and added: "If the first point is met, the other conditions can be flexible."

"Let me think about it..."

Bisi touched her chin with her beautiful fingers and thought for a long time.

Just when Xia En thought there was no chance, Bisi said: "There is indeed a suitable candidate, but his situation is a bit special, so we have to let him meet you first."

Xia En's eyes suddenly lit up: "Please introduce Ms. Bisi."

Bisi glanced at Xia En meaningfully, and placed her delicate hand on the back of his hand seemingly unintentionally.

"Still called ma'am?"

"Then...Sister Bisi?"

Xia En pretended not to understand her subtext and said blankly.

"Pfft", Bisi couldn't help but smile: "You kid, you are much smarter than your father."

"Sister, just sister, you sit here for a while, wait for me, sister, I will go find someone for you."

After she left, Xia En touched the back of his hand and sighed in his heart.

"Sure enough, this world is too dangerous."

"Good-looking boys should protect themselves even more when they go out."

…

…

It didn't take long.

Bisi led the two of them back to the bar.

One of them is a bald middle-aged man. It can be seen from the sparse top of his head that he is probably a skilled worker.

Apparently he was the shipwright who was repairing the cabin.

The other person's shape is extremely strange.

This man was wearing a full set of steel armor, with a one-piece helmet on his head, and was fully armed from head to toe.

The joints of the armor's joints are extremely delicate, the metal texture is solid and thick, and there seems to be some strange magic pattern craftsmanship on it.

At first glance, it is not ordinary.

After putting on the armor, he was two meters tall. Even Shane, who was 1.8 meters tall, had to look up.

After the armored man appeared, the noisy tavern fell silent, which showed his strong sense of oppression.

After walking in front of him, the armored man didn't speak, and just stared at Xia En silently.

"Uh...hello?"

Xia En tentatively greeted him: "May I ask your name?"

The armored man remained silent.

Xia En was a little frightened by what he saw. He was about to turn around and ask Bisi for help, but saw the armored man fumble for a piece of cardboard and a charcoal pencil from his waist.

With two "swipes", the armored man wrote a line of smooth and beautiful handwriting on the cardboard and displayed it in front of Shane.

【Are you my captain? 】

Shane: "..."

Are you talking?

etc?

Xia En suddenly realized something and heard Bi Si's explanation.

"His name is An. As you can see, he is mute and certainly doesn't speak much."

"It is said that his ancestors are from a declining knight family and adhere to the chivalry of the previous era. If he identifies you as the captain, there will definitely be no problem with your loyalty."

Xia En thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.

Apart from the unique shape, An did seem to meet most of his requirements.

"But there is a prerequisite..."

Bisi showed a smile that was not too big to watch, and added: "That is, you have to pass An's assessment."

【Yes. 】

An continued to write words on the paper, and her handwriting became vigorous and powerful.

【If you want to be my captain, please duel with me! 】

After writing this line, An pulled out the sword from her waist and made an ancient and solemn ceremonial gesture towards Xia En.

An invites you to a duel!
