Chapter 181 Change of Sky

Black Prince Sam, as rumored, did not embarrass the sailors on the Spear of the Goddess after emptying the cargo, but dismantled half of the cannons on it to confirm that the latter had no ability to fight back, and then moved some wood to the ship. Repair the Vader, and let people go.

However, the sailors didn't appreciate him because of this. They had been busy at sea for so long but ended up with nothing. When they looked at the pirates, there was hatred and anger in their eyes.

But Sam looked indifferent. He said to Zhang Heng, "We are robbers. It's normal for some people to hate me. I didn't expect them to appreciate me when I let them go. It's just because I didn't want to do it. If one of them Those who became pirate hunters later on, I also welcome them to round up me, life is too short, the most important thing is to be happy, there is no need to always worry about what happens later.”

Zhang Heng didn't expect that the Black Prince Sam was not much older than him, but he was so free and easy. Maybe this was the reason why other people liked him so much. Zhang Heng was still a little wary of the righteous thieves because of the Black Merchants Alliance at first. , but after getting in touch with Sam, he found that the latter was indeed a very worthwhile friend.

Especially in the cruel and cold-blooded pirate world, it is a miracle that he can maintain this character.

However, Zhang Heng is still a little strange. When he was on the Vida before, the friendly attitude shown by the Black Prince Sam to him was obviously beyond the scope of the first meeting, so he took this opportunity to ask what he had always wanted to ask. question, "Have we met before?"

"Oh, you said this," Black Prince Sam smiled, "You and that red-haired Miss Anne did me a favor, although you didn't know it, you were not arrested by Fraser before. Is it a thief, I finally killed him, and I have been looking for him for a while at that time."

"Um?"

"I have a friend who is not on my boat but is a very good friend. He works on another boat and has just become the helmsman. He was very happy that day, so he drank a few more drinks, but when he left the pub, he found that The purse was gone, and it was full of the pearls he had just exchanged for. The money he exchanged for the pearls was the public property of the ship. Because the crew trusted him, they entrusted him to exchange for something more convenient to carry and store. As a result, the next morning, His body was found on the edge of the reef."

A look of sadness flashed in Sam's eyes when he talked about this matter, "The man you killed is a habitual offender, and he likes to attack pearls and other things the most. He usually wanders around the residence of the pearl merchant, looking for people to follow. Prey, but I only learned about these things later. My friend is a very brainy person. He couldn't think of any other way to prove that he didn't embezzle those pearls, so in the end he could only use the most stupid one. method."

Black Prince Sam shook his head, "I don't hate the guy who stole his pearl, because that's how he survives, just like us, but I also want to avenge my friend, but it's just me I didn't use the power of the pirate group, but that guy was more slippery than I thought, and because I had to go to sea, I couldn't spend too much energy on land. Later, when I came back, I heard News that he's dead."

"Fraser only recently told me your names. Anyway, this matter is over now, and my friend can rest in peace." Black Prince Sam said.

So far, Zhang Heng has finally figured out the cause and effect of all this.

In order to prevent Hutchison from causing trouble again, he offered to let the Jackdaw accompany the Vader back to Nassau. Naturally, the Black Prince Sam would not refuse, because the relationship between the two was much closer.

On the way back, the latter would often come to chat with Zhang Heng in a small boat, and Zhang Heng learned a lot of secrets from him that only the captain knew.

This day, the two talked about the power distribution on the island. Black Prince Sam raised his eyebrows, as if a little surprised, "Do you want to join the island's council?"

Zhang Heng nodded. This is related to his main task. He didn’t have a ship before, and he wasn’t famous enough on the island, so he didn’t think much about it. Now the Jackdaw and his name have spread throughout Nassau, although this A large part of it was due to conflicts with the Black Merchants Alliance, but many times crises coexisted with opportunities. Now he withstood the pressure and led the Jackdaw through the initial troubles, and became even more famous. So the matter of joining the parliament can also be put on the agenda.

"Actually, that council is useless." Black Prince Sam scratched his head. "It is said that it is an organization for everyone to maintain order, but in fact it has not held a few meetings since its establishment. Nassau was originally a land of no man. No one on the island likes to be controlled. Those big landowners don't care about other things except their own land. Pirates have their own way of handling things. As for those black market merchants, they seem to have their own way of doing things rules, and after the establishment of the Black Merchants Alliance, they will not resolve conflicts through parliament."

"The last time we sat together for a meeting was two years ago, because someone got the news that the Spaniards planned to attack here, the island was tense for a while, but then the matter was settled, and since then I want to join There are even fewer people. The main reason is that when you first entered the parliament, you had to take an oath to defend Nassau and other things. Before, everyone didn’t take it seriously, but now they find that it is really possible to fight. Joining the parliament is nothing but a name. For practical benefits, there are fewer people who are interested." The Black Prince Sam shrugged.

"Are there any requirements for joining Parliament?"

"There are no hard and fast requirements. Generally speaking, as long as you have strength and prestige, you can contribute to the island. The only threshold is the joint election of more than seven members of the council," Black Prince Sam said. , because the girls under him serve well and have made an indelible contribution to the stability of the island. It is said that they are the first group of people elected to the parliament. Why, are you really interested? The seven recommenders jointly recommended by me It can be done for you, as a reward for helping me kill Jacob before."

"Then trouble Captain Sam." Zhang Heng said.

The Black Prince Sam didn't take this little matter to heart. He was very interested in the battle that the Queen Anne's Revenge bombarded Charleston, and he wanted to learn more details from Zhang Heng, who had witnessed it. The light suddenly dimmed.

The two looked up together and saw the dense clouds above their heads.

"Has the weather changed so quickly?" Black Prince Sam touched his nose, "It was fine before, but this damn weather is even more fickle than women."
