Chapter 161 Memories of the Past: Soul of the Sea

All misunderstandings have been reconciled. In a happy atmosphere, Elvin has some worries, so he came to Captain Edward and wanted to ask him further: "This...Captain Edward, in fact, I have always had such a question in my heart, that is, why do you want to do this? "

Captain Edward replied, "Why? As the third brother said, we are all righteous men on the sea, so this is how we should be.

"No, that's not what I said. I just don't understand why you want to test us, because you also know my identity now. I'm now the most wanted criminal in the kingdom. You gave us this money, which may implict you."

"Hahaha, what did I think you were worried about? So that's what it means! Don't worry, I have never worried about this, because in our bones, there is a group of free pirates, pirates and rebels, which are all the objects of those the kingdom hates. Edward suddenly burst into laughter.

"Pirates? But, Captain Edward, aren't you engaged in business? Although it is a smuggled business, at least it will not be wanted by the kingdom, right? Elvin became puzzled.

"That's right, but we are indeed a group of pirates who are disgusted by the kingdom, but we now have a private arms smuggling deal with lords in the south, and there are inextricable relationships, and that's why we are not wanted by the kingdom for the time being." Captain Edward said.

The weapons and equipment that Lal saw in the ship's warehouse before are what they intend to sell to lords around the world. Because they are smuggled goods, they will be cheaper than the prices on the market. Therefore, those cheap local lords often trade with Edward, which is why they are the sea. The reason why they can not be hunted out once again reflects the decadent darkness of the regimes in all parts of the kingdom.

However, Edward Hawk and others are vulgar pirates after all. Those pretentious lords will not pay attention to them at all except for profit, because they are not the only smugglers who can supply weapons. You can imagine Edward Hawke's daily status. How despised it is.

It was also because last month, because of the astrological changes, at the beginning of the legend, people everywhere rebelled, and the lords everywhere were in danger of their rule, so they were eager to consolidate their rule with weapons and equipment everywhere, so Edward and others were lucky to receive such a rare large order. Single. So this time, in order to escort this batch of weapons and equipment, the fleet he brought personally pressed the battle to do this business, which is why there were rumors of big shots coming on the dock before.

Such a ship of weapons and equipment, such a large business can only harvest 20,000 to 300,000 gold coins because it is cheaper than the price on the market. Now Edward and others have paid one million gold coins to Elvin and Bellinas before the business has started. It's hard to get the property. No wonder Elvin and Bellinas find it difficult to accept such a great kindness.

Elvin also knows that this money is really valuable: "However, this is the wealth you have worked hard to earn. Why are you willing to risk breaking with the kingdom and pay such a big price to fund us?"

"Regarding the explanation, let me tell a story first. I believe you can understand the reason from the story." Captain Edward seems to have a lot of stories to tell.

......

"This story is about a story that happened 30 years ago and was also in Hailan City. At that time, Hailan City began to flourish under the rule of the former lord. However, this is just talking about those rich people. Behind all this seemingly prosperous, there are still countless poor people who silently support Hailan City at the lowest level.

"At that time, at the dock, in order to compete for limited job opportunities for unloading and unloading goods, there were often conflicts between small gangs, which made the three young people not fight and do not know each other. The three young people are deeply attracted by each other's strength and personality. So gradually, the three of them changed from the opponents of the fight to the helpers of the fight. After that, the three of them finally became righteous brothers and made a vow that they would never abandon.

"After that, with their extraordinary skills and talents, the three worked hard together and gradually dominated this wharf and became the largest gang. Therefore, with their lives, they began to have greater ambitions."

"Because they often unload goods for those rich businessmen, and in the eyes of those rich people, they are all despicable lower-class people, so they are often discriminated against and insulted, which is an irreconcilable contradiction between polarized classes."

"However, no matter how poor they are, they are also human beings and people with self-dignity. For those who treat injustice and equality, they don't want to be so willing to be oppressed all their lives as a fun of in the eyes of others. In the end, the anger of resistance was ignited.

"The three young people can no longer stand the ugly faces of those rich people, so they led a group of companions with the same ambitions, grabbed a merchant ship and sailed away from Hailan City. From then on, they became a group of pirates at sea. The three of them were determined to fight their own world, no Let others look down on them again. They specifically aimed at those businessmen who are usually arrogant and bullying the poor, and robbed their black money.

"Of course, in that era, there were countless people who had such an idea. The three of them are just another new pirate gang in the South China Sea. In front of them, there are countless dangers waiting for them.

"In addition to the autonomous lords' forces in various places, there is also the kingdom's navy. The kingdom's navy's strong combat effectiveness makes countless pirates buried in the sea forever. Compared with these three young and powerful pirates, they can't escape such a fate, let alone those who are new? But they will not regret it, because only on such a day can they feel that they are alive. The three of them know that this is a sea with no way back and have long been prepared for death. For this reason, they marked the flag on their ship as a skeleton pattern, indicating that they have I have long abandoned my attachment and implemented the determination to be free to the end.

"The three of them are really lucky people who are favored by heaven. Not long after, he was the fascist emperor who reigned at that time. He launched a war to invade the outside world. At that time, almost all the fighting power of the kingdom was transferred to the foreign border in the northwest. Yes, the seven-year-long war with foreign nations has kicked off.

"These three lucky people finally ushered in a good day of survival and development. Without the round-up of the navy and the scarcity of materials caused by the war, many smugglers attracted by this high interests made the three young people feel free and happy. Happy days. These heavenly years are a beautiful time that they will never forget and will remember forever. They are the most precious treasure in their lives.

"With the active performance of the three young people, it gradually developed from the original ordinary merchant ship to a pirate fleet composed of several warships. The black skeleton flag, which was a sign that made those sea merchants feel pale and scared at that time. The prestige of the three of them has resounded throughout the South China Sea, and they have reached the peak of their life goals.

Seven years have passed, and the three young people who were once ignorant and impulsive have grown into an upright man after so many years of hard work. The eldest brother among them has even become a husband and a father. After the establishment of his career, he became a family again. At this point, it can be said that he is satisfied. At this time, the eldest brother has sprouted his resignation.

"And at that time, there was a drastic change that shocked everyone in the kingdom. The expedition in the outer world finally ended in failure. The fascist emperor was seriously injured and had to return to the court. After that, he reached an armistice agreement with a foreign nation, so the seven-long war came to an end."

"The eldest brother who learned the news foresaw that their pirate career would face great danger in the coming days. For this reason, he and his two brothers made plans for the future. He put forward his opinion that this is to stop and everyone will live in peace from now on.

"The two adoptive brothers don't agree with the views put forward by their eldest brother. For the two adoptive brothers who enjoy such infinite scenery and freedom, they can no longer live such a life. They are blinded by the momentary scenery in front of them. They think that their eldest brother is because That's why I have such an idea when I have a family.

"Since their eldest brother has such a plan, the two brothers also know in their hearts that they can't bear to let the eldest brother who has already started a family continue to take risks, and they don't care about these at all. So they verbally promised their big brother, and then they often secretly hid their big brothers and continued to live a free pirate life.

"The hound will eventually die on the mountain, and the eldest brother's ominous foreboding will come true in the near future. Two years later, the tension between the kingdom and the foreign countries decreased, and now the naval fighters have been transferred back, which has become the beginning of a nightmare for the pirates. Over the years of pirate looting, the lords in the south have hurt their heads enough, and they have already wanted to eradicate this group of hateful thorns that threaten their interests.

"So, under the conspiracy, they united the Blue Dragon Naval Battle Regiment, the main legion of the navy at that time, planned a trap, released false news, and successfully lured the two adoptive brothers. As a result, the two brothers who stepped into the trap were surrounded by the navy and fell into a desperate situation of escape.

"Just as the two adoptive brothers had the consciousness of death and planned to make a final fight with the Blue Dragon Sea Battle Group, at this time, a wind-like Clipper rushed into the encirclement net and hit the naval warship in the surrounding the net by relying on the special huge collision angle of the bow. As a result, the warship broke out under the collision. A big hole gradually sank, and the encirclement net also broke a gap.

"I saw the two brothers on the road, so I turned the boat around and drove to the gap. When they wondered who was so desperate to save them, as a result, when the ship sailed to the fast boat, the two of them saw a scene that made them sad. This was their eldest brother's boat, and in the figure in the fierce battle above, there was their eldest brother, but on him , which was pierced through the body by a sharp gun, which was a fatal injury.

"The two righteous brothers, who saw this behind the scenes, were sad and indignant. They desperately wanted to fight with their eldest brother in the past, live and die together, abide by their original vow of righteousness, and never give up. However, the two of them were stopped by the eldest brother: 'Don't come here, this is not the direction you should go. You must live well for me. This is what I, as a big brother, finally asked you to do... and take good care of me... our family...' From beginning to end, the eldest brother did not turn to face those two. The righteous brother wants to tell these two righteous brothers not to look back. You should continue to look forward and move forward.

"Finally, their most beloved eldest brother left them forever. The vow never to give up can only be the eternal pain in their hearts. In the end, the two listened to the eldest brother's last request. They were not afraid of death, but they understood that the eldest brother's last words were actually to give them new The survival goal is to tell them that they still have relatives.

"After escaping from the siege, the two decided to really stop. Relying on the wealth obtained from the previous looting, and taking care of their eldest brother, they are also their own families. They lived a calm and peaceful life, and the skull flag that shocked the South China Sea disappeared.

"With the death of the fascist emperor after that year, the benevolence of the Emperor Kirub took over did make the whole Hailan City feel a different change. Only then did the two adoptive brothers understand what their eldest brother mean and what real happiness is. A calm and peaceful life turned out to be really beautiful. Things."

"However, happiness is always so short-lived. With the assassination of Emperor Kilub and the accession of Emperor Hilocan, the kingdom began to become chaotic again. All kinds of heavy taxes, the bullying of those in power, and the grief of the people made the two brothers feel their initial dissatisfaction with such a world again. A world full of discrimination and insults, which is not what they want to see.

"However, in order to take care of their families, they did not stand up again and still endured silently. Until one day ten years ago, they met a man, a man who made them face him with endless respect from their hearts. Because the man said: 'I don't expect to see the sun tomorrow. I just want our future children to live in a warm world full of sunshine.'"

"His words deeply touched them, and they finally understood, because in their bones, there has always been a nature against the oppression of rulers, and they have always been dissatisfied with such an unequal world, and this time, they also thought of their eldest brother's children. Yes, they must not let Big brother's children want to live in such a world and no longer let him repeat the sad past of their childhood. This is what they want to do, and this is also their new life goal in the future.

"However, Emperor Hiloken's military rule is stronger than in his father's era. With their current strength, there is no way to resist. They only have wealth now. Yes, wealth, this is their power, this is a very powerful power. So they gathered their loyal subordinates, so they began to take action.

"In order to make money, they, who were once wanted criminals, could not take an open and righteous road, so they entered the field of smuggling. They wanted to try their best to get back the gains they exploited of the people from those greedy lords. After that, they found another way, which was gambling. By gambling, even if you want to use despicable means, you have to win the other party and win those self-righteous upper-class guys.

"So many years have passed, for the wealth they have accumulated, in fact, they have been quietly supporting the rebels everywhere, by giving them military funds, they can grow into a force enough to shake and correct this chaotic world. These are the stories circulating in this ocean.

......

As Edward finished telling this story, he also lowered his head and fell into deep meditation.

Ewen himself was also moved: "What a deep brotherhood... I understand the meaning of this story. Captain Edward, it is my mission to overthrow this chaotic world, and I will definitely carry out this will and determination to the end.

"It's great that you understand, Mr. Avan. In fact, I still have a heartless invitation. I hope you can agree with Mr. Elvin. Edward has a request.

"Mr. Edward, please tell me that I will try my best to do it."

"Mr. Evan, I have a problem that I hope you can help solve it."

"Trouble?"

"Yes, it has always been a headache for me. Please come with me."

So Elvin followed Edward to another room.

Captain Edward pointed inside and said, "Mr. Evan, my trouble is in there."

Emwen then walked in. The light in the room was dim, but it felt more spacious. Deep in the room, there was such a strange thing swinging back and forth. Elvin came closer and looked at it. It turned out to be a solid sandbag, but it could not shake itself. It seemed that it was still being kicked just now.

When Evan was still strange, suddenly, a fist wind came from the side, and Ai Wen was able to summon a gem round shield to resist.

"Dong!" Then there was a scream, and a shadow jumped down with its fists raised: "Ah...so painful! It's so unfair that there is a shield. It hurts! Where on earth did the shield come from?

"Ah! Sorry, are you?" Elvin didn't feel hostile, so he knew that the other party was not malicious.

"This is the trouble I said." Captain Edward explained helplessly.

"What! Uncle Edward, how can you say that about your most obedient nephew? The shadow finally stopped the pain and slowly came over. It turned out that he was the hedgehog-headed man who had just fought with Lal.

"Captain Edward, is he your trouble? Do you mean to want me... with him?

"Yes, my trouble will be entrusted to you."

"But... isn't he your most important family? Wouldn't it be more dangerous to follow me? Our current identity is..."

"I believe in my vision. It must be the best choice for him to follow you."

"What! Is it you, the legendary star hero? Obviously, it doesn't look bigger than me, but it can handle my fist just now. The reaction is good. Well, it's qualified. Well, I'll listen to Uncle Edward once this time. The hedgehog-headed man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Evan: "My name is Jack. I'm handsome. The young and invincible young Master Jack Sparrow is me. I will teach you more, boss!"

"Ah... boss? Well... Well, let's get along well in the future." Elvin also immediately understood the troubles on Edward's ship.

Evan's star wrist wheel lit up another gem. Full of Stars: Jack Spike)

Jack immediately asked again: "That's right, boss! I almost forgot one of the most important things, which is more important than my life.

When Elvin heard Jack's words, he realized the seriousness of the matter, so he said seriously, "Jack, then say it quickly. If there is anything, I will definitely help you."

Jack showed a strange smile: "That is... among our companions... how many beautiful women are there? Boss, as a legendary hero, there must be many beautiful women following you. Hahaha, this time you can leave your uncle's discipline and finally go to date the beautiful women, hahaha...ah! Uncle Edward...forget that you are still here..."

Edward shook his head helplessly.

ai wen is completely speechless.

In this way, Ai Wen and his others drew a perfect end to this trip to Hailan City.
