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

I felt sorry for him, but no sailor dared to cause trouble in the Wind and Waves Tavern.

The way they looked at Xia En also changed subtly, with a bit of awe and vigilance.

Above the Seven Seas, the rule of the jungle has always been followed.

Naturally, sailors have a strong culture of admiration.

The duel between Xia En and An undoubtedly proved himself.

This is also one of Shane's purposes.

Sometimes hiding one's strength too much will only cause unnecessary trouble. Showing part of one's strength appropriately can cover up things that one really doesn't want outsiders to know.

【I lost. 】

At this time, Ann came to Xia En and wrote on the cardboard.

[Captain Xia En’s martial virtue is abundant and superior to mine. 】

【I am convinced that I lost. 】

[Then, please accept my allegiance, Ann Duarte Karloff! 】

After writing, An half knelt down on one knee and bowed her head to Xia En.

This is a unique etiquette of the knight family. When An salutes, his movements are even more meticulous, looking focused and solemn.

In order to match his performance, Xia En also put on a straight face and said solemnly.

"I accept your allegiance!"

The moment he finished speaking, I don't know if it was Xia En's illusion, but he felt that he and An had established some kind of invisible connection.

Xia En suddenly realized something in his heart.

In this world, ritual itself has mystery and power.

And [Knight] is also one of the many secret professions.

The process of An's loyalty to him was actually in line with the ritual of the secret path of the [Knight], which was why he had some unusual feelings.

Although he didn't know what the use of this connection was, Xia En was still very satisfied with An.

Although it seems that Xia En won easily, it was purely because his numerical value was too high.

Having acquired the attributes of a ship, his physical fitness has long been developed to surpass that of humans.

Among ordinary humans, An was already a rare strong man, able to easily defeat ten.

Used in boarding battles, it is definitely a killer weapon!

At this time, An stood up again and wrote.

[From now on, you will be my captain for life! 】

【I will protect your safety with my life! 】

【The sea will witness my vow. 】

Wait, captain for life?

The corner of Xia En's mouth trembled, and he felt a little weird. Why did these words sound so heavy?

He may not necessarily stay at sea for the rest of his life!

Xia En suddenly discovered something.

Ann is indeed very loyal and meets her own requirements.

But he seems...a little too loyal?

But now the deal is done, Xia En has already accepted the allegiance ceremony, and there is no way he will go back on his word.

In a strange mood, Xia En took An and the boatman to Bi Si to say goodbye.

He originally wanted to pay the agency fee, but after asking, he found out that Bisi had made a huge profit just from the bets on the duel, so he simply waived this small amount of money.

"What a rich and generous lady."

Xia En left the Wind and Waves Tavern with emotion and walked towards the port where the Black Swan was docked.

Ann needed to pack her luggage, so she didn't go with him.

Back on the deck, Joey was nowhere to be seen. He must have been handling personal matters on the island.

So, Xia En took advantage of this time to explain his request to the taciturn shipwright.

After listening, the bald master nodded.

"No problem, but it will take a week to complete."

"A week? A little too long?"

Shane frowned slightly. He had an opportunity to snorkel once a day. When snorkeling near Duke Island, the profit was obviously very low.

Over and over again, this is equivalent to losing money every day!

"Is there any way to make it faster?"

"Yes, I have."

The bald shipwright was also very happy and directly pointed out the clear path to Xia En.

"Just hire a few more people to work together, but the wages must be a little more..."

"Oh, more money, right? That's easy!"

Xia En realized instantly that he was not short of money anyway, so he might as well spend it early and enjoy it early.

In the end, Xia En entrusted the bald shipwright to find a few helpers to renovate the ship at a price of 45 silver snake coins, immediately shortening the expected time to three days.

After all, this is just a small modification, and with the blessing of currency ability, it naturally does not take much time.

"However, money is really flowing like water..."

Xia En weighed his money bag and felt a little distressed.

The more than 600 silver snake coins were not warmed up yet, and in the blink of an eye there were only more than 200 left. In addition, some supplies on the ship, such as salt, spices, and cleaning supplies, were also needed, which was another huge expense.

“If you’re not a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.”

"Do I need to find a special accountant to help me manage my money?"

Of course, thinking about accounting now is a bit too far.

After entrusting the shipwright with full authority to repair the ship, Xia En walked to the deck to get some air, and saw a strange girl in front of him.

She was wearing a clean and tidy women's light chainmail shirt. Her face was young and delicate, and her skin was fair and delicate, like a fragile porcelain doll.

The most eye-catching thing is the hair on the top of her head.

It was as white as snow!

The soft white hair is spread on both shoulders, and the girl's red eyes add a bit of mystery and dreamy aura.

Except for being a little short and having a flat chest, she is already considered a rare beautiful girl.

At this time, the girl was looking at Xia En nervously, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with her delicate hands.

Xia En was confused.

Who are you?

Why did you suddenly appear on my ship?

Could it be a love debt from the original person?

After holding it in for a long time, Xia En couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"

"Mr. Captain, it's me!"

The girl shouted slightly aggrievedly.

"...Joy?"

Hearing this voice, Xia En finally recognized the girl's identity.

But his mood was getting weirder.

Although Xia En knew that Joey was a girl before, he didn't know that Joey was such a good-looking girl!

Previously, Joey had kept his head down, and his hair was as messy as seaweed, covering most of his small face. If you could see clearly, there would be ghosts.

Seeing Xia En's silence for a long time, Joey lowered his head again and said humbly: "Sure enough, is the way I was before more suitable for me?"

"I'm going to dye my hair back. Sorry, I scared Mr. Captain..."

"etc!"

Xia En quickly stopped her: "Who said this look is not suitable for you? I think it's good!"

"real?"

Joey raised his head hopefully, his eyes pitiful.

Xia En said categorically: "Of course it's true! When did I lie to you?"

"Very good."

Joey breathed a sigh of relief.

After the little girl calmed down, Xia En asked curiously: "Why did you dye your hair that color and cover your eyes before?"

Joey replied in a low voice: "Because of the color of my hair and eyes, everyone was afraid of me when I was little. They called me...monster."

Xia En suddenly understood that the aesthetics of people in this world were obviously not able to accept this kind of image.

But he was a Chinese in his previous life.

White hair and red eyes are a good civilization!
