Pirate Codex

"What are you doing?" Danny, who was walking in front and urging Bowness to hurry up, looked back at the two of them, his eyes full of suspicion.

The red-haired Arthur shouted with all his strength.

"It's okay." Arthur held his sword, caught up with him in a few steps, and said with a flat smile.

I can't say that just now Hongmao saw that I was powerful and domineering and had the qualifications to be a king, so he bowed down and bowed down.

Then I still have to be shameless

"Really?" Danny looked at the red-haired man who was half a step behind Arthur and wanted to laugh but tried his best to remain respectful.

Since last night, I have been feeling that something is wrong with him. Could it be that

Red hair, he is crazy

Bowness, who was leading the way, looked back at the two of them thoughtfully, then resumed his journey, but his steps became a little absent-minded.

After arduously walking under the scorching sun for nearly half an hour, a clear and crystal clear gurgling water suddenly appeared in front of the four of them.

The four people who were walking so slowly regained their energy and cheered together. They hurriedly took off their clothes and luggage and ran towards the river.

After washing each other and swimming in the river for more than an hour, the four of them went ashore one after another to find clothes and put them on again.

Arthur lay on the shore and looked at the reflection in the water carefully.

He has short blond hair that hangs down to his ears, a high nose and deep eyes. His sapphire-like eyes contain depth and peace. His face is sharp and angular, not as handsome as Danny, but he also has regular facial features and is quite attractive.

Arthur nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to brush away the reflection, letting the water ripple, then stood up and walked towards the three people resting in the shade of the tree.

Hongmao was leaning against the tree trunk, waving the sword wildly with both hands, humming excitedly.

Bowness sat cross-legged in the shade of the tree, staring blankly at the two knives on his legs.

Danny was holding a small branch and gesticulating something on the ground.

Arthur came and sat down in front of the three of them. After looking at the three of them, he waved to the red-haired man to stop and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Of course I'm following Boss Arthur." Hongmao answered hurriedly, expressing his feelings, his eyes shining brightly.

Danny was still gesturing on the ground with the branch in his hand, and said without raising his head: "I have to go home and settle the score with him."

In Danny's heart, that bastard was no longer qualified to be his big brother, so he just called him disgustingly.

Arthur nodded and turned to Bowness, another devout believer he saw in his dream.

"What about you, Bowness?"

Bowness slowly raised his head, with some confusion and hesitation in his eyes, but after looking at Arthur, a glimmer of light came back to him, his thick lips pursed, and he was speechless.

In fact, the cleverness, calmness and leadership skills Arthur has shown in the past two days are enough to convince Bowness and Hongmao, two young men who have not seen much. Even Danny respects and values ​​Arthur more.

Coupled with his miraculous recovery from his previous injuries, and his confident and sharp spirit now due to his acquisition of Judgment Swordsmanship, Arthur becomes even more special.

Bowness did have the idea of ​​following Arthur, but he had been taciturn and not good at words since he was a child. He really didn't know how to speak appropriately.

"How about you follow me?" Arthur said with a smile.

As a talent in the after-sales service department in his previous life, Arthur had a nearly 100% satisfaction rate in incident handling. Naturally, Arthur could tell that Bowness was still trying to talk, and he immediately and understandingly stepped forward.

"what"

Bowness looked up suddenly, stunned by the sudden surprise.

"Why, don't you want to?" Arthur sighed softly, pretending to be disappointed.

"No." Bonis waved his hand quickly, then paused, nodded heavily and said, "I do."

"Then please give me some advice." Arthur stretched out his right hand and smiled and winked at Bowness.

Bowness lowered his head, stretched out his hands, held Arthur's right hand tightly, and respectfully shouted: "Boss"

At this time, Danny had also finished making gestures. He raised his head, looked at the three people in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:

"Are you ready to go?"

"Otherwise, come back with me."

Although the next battle with that man would involve a lot of time and energy on his part, Danny was still very confident in protecting the three of them.

"No need." Arthur waved his hand towards Danny and said with a smile, "We already have somewhere to go next."

He already had plans for his next trip. Arthur looked at Red Hair and Bowness.

For me, who possesses the Judgment Swordsmanship, the road to becoming stronger is already at my feet. The next priority is of course to find a suitable place, be patient, and lead the two of them to practice honestly.

Of course, besides practicing, you still need to continue to collect information and think about the next move.

The sky is blue and the sun is scorching red.

Compared with the early morning, the midday sun was even hotter, and the four people's freshly washed bodies were once again covered in hot sweat.

On the country road, Arthur stood with his sword in hand, watching Danny disappear into the high walls of Gogazhi City, then turned around and said with a smile:

"It's time for us to set off."

"Okay, Boss Arthur." Hong Mao hugged the long sword and bowed tightly tied behind his back.

Bonis nodded heavily and said nothing. On his back, in addition to the two swords, there was also a package saluting.

The three of them had three bundles of 10,000 beli notes and some change, totaling nearly three million beri, as well as a small amount of rye bread and bacon, which was enough to support the three of them for the short journey ahead.

"Then, let's go." Arthur took the lead and turned to the east.

The crimson sunset poured quietly onto the earth. After traveling for most of the day, a peaceful village finally appeared in front of the three of them.

Arthur looked at the orchard village in front of him silently, without saying a word. Bowness and Hongmao stood behind him, knowingly and silently, looking at the village quietly together.

"Let's go." Arthur finally said in a low voice.

There was smoke from the kitchen, and it was dinner time. Arthur did not enter the village without permission to avoid unnecessary disputes, but instead led the two of them around the village in the northeast direction.

Most of the exterior walls of the houses in the village bear burnt scorch marks, some have been repaired with new bricks, and there are even new houses rebuilt on the old sites. The whole village looks like scrawled graffiti, dilapidated and ugly.

The village was sparsely populated, and there was no longer the liveliness and joy that I remembered, and the pain and mourning after the disaster shrouded it.

Arthur walked in silence, looking around the village from time to time. At this time, the bloody flames in little Arthur's memory seemed to reappear in the village, with hoarse begging for mercy mixed with crazy and wanton laughter. Unforgettable.

Finally, the three of them stood in front of a small orchard in the northeast corner of the village. In front of the orchard was a house that had been burned black and the roof had collapsed.

This is Arthur's home, a place that carries and buries all of Arthur's joy and beauty.
