Chapter 211 Storm of Destruction: Captain and First Mate
Hazy light shines into this empty bedroom from outside the gauze curtain, and a faint haze of light fills the room. This is not a big room, and the decoration is very different from that of Victor's Palace. There is a strong sense of cheapness here. .
Old tables and chairs, yellowed walls and peeling paint on the roof, etc., the carpet on the floor also looks very old, the whole house looks like it came out of some kind of ancient painting, but it has a sense of There is a feeling of tranquility that you can never find in a mansion room.
Vito sat up from the bed, and the quilt on his body slipped from his shoulders. He stretched out and lifted the quilt, placing his long, slender, feminine legs on the ground. Vito took two steps away from the bed. He picked up a wine bottle from the side cabinet and took a bold sip.
The spicy taste of the cheap drink flowed down his throat and into his stomach. The excitement of the drink instantly sobered up his confused mind. Vito stretched out again and opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window. He leaned against the window and watched. In Comorro in the distance, tall buildings and black spiers stand in the distance.
The sound of gunshots came like a rooster's crow, and a new day began. Vito was curious about how many people would die before nightfall tonight, but he was not interested in going to the city to see for himself.
Vito turned around and grabbed a few pieces of clothing from the box, and the beautiful and revealing dress was thrown messily on the chair. The upper part of the skirt was still hanging on the back of the chair. Obviously its owner had not folded it well. Put and keep that gorgeous and probably expensive piece of clothing.
Its owner now put on other clothes, more comfortable clothes. Vito put on a black jacket, straightened the folds on his shoulders and picked up his boots. He sat by the bed and put them on. High boots.
Vito simply scratched his messy hair and tied it together. He obviously didn't know how to comb his hair when he got up. You can't make it difficult for him. After all, he was just a big man a week ago. Who knows that one day he will end up like this? Appear like this.
Vito walked up and opened the old bedroom door. He walked along the railing of the corridor on the second floor. Vito's eyes looked down. There was already a table of early risers sitting on the first floor of the hotel. They were sitting there. Sitting around the table eating breakfast, and of course drinking, they are pirates after all, aren't they?
Vito walked down the stairs at the end of the corridor. The brown-red stairs that had been in disrepair creaked. The three people at the table turned their heads to look at Vito. One of them had a bandage on his face, and the swelling on his face was already there. It has been reduced a lot, and that handsome face is almost back in the world.
"You look good, Captain Claudius. Soon you will be able to flirt with the girls again." Vito said with a smile, pulled a chair and sat at the table, and she grabbed a dress She started eating the plate with food, and she took a bite of the sausage with a satisfied look on her face.
"It tastes good. I didn't expect you could eat such good food in this damn place." Vito said and glanced at Pique and Mark who were sitting at the table. Both of them looked at Vito with a silly smile on his face. Vito He couldn't help but laugh, "You two look like a pair of idiots."
"It seems like you finally figured it out after living here for three days, Melissa." Claudius said as he took a sip of wine, while Mark waved his fingers in protest, "Fart! We are both very powerful! Remember DeLauren A naval battle? The two of us jumped onto the opposite ship and killed many Chaos pirates!"
Claudius smiled at Mark's boast and smiled jokingly, "Come on, I remember very clearly that after the captain jumped over, first mate Joseph kicked you two over. You two are the last two on the ship. Rushed up."
"This! Do you understand that this is called a break? We are guarding the bridge!" Mark added reluctantly. Of course, the way of giving himself excuses was stupid and fun, especially when Vito almost lost his temper after seeing his awkward expression. Laughing so much that you squirted out your food.
She barely suppressed her smile and chewed the food, "It looks like you have been with the captain for a long time, right? Two warriors." Her provocative word "warrior" made the pirate duo in front of her very embarrassed. The two looked at each other and coughed awkwardly, then patted their chests with the most confident expression they could think of.
"That's right! We have been following the captain for a long time, I think half a century!" Pique said proudly like a veteran of many battles, while Claudius smiled jokingly and compared the numbers to Vito. The two guys have only been with the captain for thirty years. For the Eldar, this may not be a long time, but for humans, it is still a long time.
Vito looked at Pique in front of him jokingly, holding his chin, "Why do you follow the captain? I believe there is a wonderful story, right?"
Piqué paused and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I used to be an Ark Eldar. After I left the Ark and became an exile, I joined a pirate gang. At that time, they had a conflict with the captain and took me on the raging waves. I went to fight in a gang war, and then I was beaten up by the captain. After I was captured, she asked me if I wanted to join her, and then I joined.”
Vito almost laughed, but he held it back politely, and then looked at Mark on the other side, "What about you?" "Huh?"
Mark said "Ah" like an idiot, then looked at the leftovers in front of him, and finally spoke after thinking hard. At least Vito felt that the expression should be that he was thinking about the problem.
"I am from Komorro, Dark Eldar. Like most people, I joined a gang, but our captain was an idiot. We were hunting at the edge of the galaxy at that time. He lost his mind and insisted on hunting down a group of humans. The Rogue Trader fleet turned out to be a group of human tin can passengers, what are they called sharks? We were beaten badly and many people died. "
"I ran away with the remaining members. The tin cans kept chasing us. Later, the captain who was passing by found us, and then briefly blocked the cans and let us evacuate into the webway. She rescued us and took us in. , so we joined her, and she's a good person and a great captain, better than any captain I've ever seen."
Vito nodded slightly as he ate the sausage, then turned his head so that his face rested on his palms. He turned his head and looked at Claudius beside him, "What about you? How did you follow the captain?"
Claudius looked at Vito and was silent for a moment, then shrugged, picked up the bottle and took a sip, "I am also a Dark Eldar, from Comorro. I first served as the helmsman of another pirate ship, and then something happened. Rebellion, it was the captain who saved me and took me in.”
"She taught me what loyalty is, loyalty to each other." Claudius said, while Vito raised his eyebrows slightly confused, "Loyalty and trust don't exist in the Dark Eldar, right?" "Yes, no. Wrong, but the captain made me realize what loyalty is and how stupid life is in Comoros stabbing each other.”
"We are all Eldar, from the same ancestor and bloodline. Why do we have to fight against each other as brothers? What is the difference between the Ark Eldar, Dark Eldar and Savage Eldar? We are all brothers of the same race, so we should work together so that we can survive in the galaxy. Go down."
Vito was surprised, quite surprised. Now that the Dark Eldar in front of him has understood the way of unity? Judging from Vito's experience in contact with the Eldar, they will completely ignore or even despise each other because of their arrogance. Even the Ark Eldar will stab each other. Betrayal and calculation are almost their nature.
But since the three Ark Eldar and Dark Eldar in front of us can sit down, eat, drink, and mock each other without starting a fight? Moreover, before he came, they were prepared to risk their lives together to help Efreni rescue the helmsman. They were like brothers, and like the Astartes, they would never abandon or give up. This is not a quality that can be seen in the Eldar. .
And all this stems from their captain Efreni. It seems that she does have unique qualities, talents and leadership. Maybe what will happen if she can unite the Eldar and even the relationship with humans?
Just as Vito was thinking about this problem, Efrenie appeared at the table. She looked at the people in front of her with her hands on her hips, "Are you talking about me? I hope it's not bad words."
"Captain." The three of them said in unison. The idiot duo said with the same idiotic smiles as always. Ephrene looked at them with a smile, and then looked at Claudius, "How is your recovery?"
"I will be able to take the helm again soon, captain, and I will go and bring the Raging Tide back." Claudius said, shaking his arm that was still bandaged, Efreni smiled and pressed his shoulder, "I believe You will, take a good rest now, and we will sail away from the ship after completing the battle tomorrow."
"Before that, I will go to reconnoiter the situation and be alert to whether the pirate gang intends to retaliate." While a few people were chatting, the first mate wearing red armor and a helmet without a face came over, still hanging on his shoulders. Wearing a white mane shawl, carrying a long knife at his waist, his deep voice changed due to the helmet.
"I think they are all dead, First Officer Joseph, and they are no longer a threat." Vito said. Joseph glanced at her and then raised his helmet, looking at Vito through the slit with his invisible eyes, "Maybe. , but I’ll still go take a look, just in case.”
As Joseph spoke, he turned and walked towards the hotel exit. At the door, Efrenie walked up and grabbed his shoulders. She looked at the face of the helmet and nodded seriously, "Be careful and safe, okay?" "I know."
Joseph nodded and walked out of the hotel. The iron boots of his armor stepped on the ground and gradually walked away. Everene stood at the door with her arms folded and watched him go away. Vito raised his eyebrows jokingly and asked about the gossip. He asked, wait, are you really feminine?
But regardless, Vito turned his head and approached the idiot duo, "What's the relationship between the first mate and the captain?"
The idiot duo also looked over there, and then they also approached Vito and whispered, "First Mate Joseph has been with the captain the longest and has the most seniority, but he always wears a helmet and will not be there to eat or drink. No one has seen what he looks like before us.”
"I asked the captain once, and she said that the first mate is also from Beltain's Eldar tribe, her fellow villager. She said it was her nostalgia for the first mate, but I'm sure! The first mate has a crush on the captain!" Mark said excitedly, Just beat the table.
Vito nodded repeatedly with a shocked look on his face, while Claudius on the side held his forehead speechlessly, while Efrenie still stood at the door looking at the back of the first mate, looking at the back that she felt was extremely familiar. .
