Chapter Eleven Firelight

Denton did not lie, at least he did not lie about making up stories. Nowadays, even pirates know how to package themselves. William did not take many tricks, so Denton, whose bones were not as hard as rumors, vomited out the truth.

Remembering the charts and notes of the treasure islands hidden, they were hidden in Gore's diary cover. After William checked them, they simply broke Denton.

At night, a bonfire rose on the deserted island that had not been seen for many years. A Jin tried his best and returned to his old career. He caught a few fish in the sea. He was cleaned up a few times by four rude men who didn't know much about cooking, and then put them on the fire to roast them.

Of course the taste was not very good, but it was enough to fill the hunger. William decided to not use the supply on the ship if he could. According to Gore's notes, this small island was not located on the main channel. Only some small merchant ships that transport supplies to remote villages and towns would pass by once or twice within a month. William must prepare for the unknown factors that several people missed the merchant ship, or the merchant ship did not pass here due to emergencies.

William grabbed a branch, frowned and wrote and painted on the ground, considering what happened next. He was a person who had struggled in society. He pursued preparations and plans for everything. He was good at making a big deal and was full of energy. But when a person only made one preparation, he was disrupted by a sudden accident, he could know how unreliable the behavior of putting eggs in a basket. Although he had not yet reached the point where he might die in such a failure in his previous life, he felt absolutely unpleasant to be hungry, especially when he was a leader and was not prepared for things. Not only did he go hungry, but he could also go hungry for a group of people who pointed at you for dinner and started work. It was not good for William who was somewhat more favorable.

"William, what should I do next?" Ajin asked while fiddling with the bonfire.

When Alamis and Wallon heard this, they looked at William, waiting for William to make an idea. The three of them tied their future to William. This trust and habit brought both prestige and responsibility.

"Now is a good time. Since you haven't been wanted by the Navy, you have the time and energy to learn something," William looked at Alamis. "I remember hearing you said before that a dojo had some reputation, what's the name?"

"Frost Moon Village, Yixin Temple," Alamis is a businessman family and is the most well-informed person among the four. However, he obviously does not agree with William's proposal: "We have even gotten rid of Denton and have a treasure map. Why do we still have to go to a broken temple to suffer? What can we learn?"

William wiped off his own words on the ground, wrote in Chinese characters that only he could understand, such as "Politics come from the gun" and "A soldier is the king of grass", and then threw away the branches and glanced at the three of them one by one: "I ask you, are you willing to go home and live a normal life? We have not yet attracted the attention of the navy, and it may be too late to withdraw."

The three of them shook their heads at the same time. Although they did not taste the robbery like the old pirates and liked the pirate business, after witnessing the poor people's powerlessness on the pirate ship, both Akin, Alamis and Wallon knew that in the era of the great pirates, a seemingly peaceful and stable life was like the beautiful scenery in the snow glass ball. Beautiful is beautiful, but it will be easily smashed into pieces by people.

Among the three, Ajin was colluded with the tax officials and fishermen and forced to board the pirate ship, Alamis was forced to board the pirate ship after going bankrupt. Wallon's parents also hanged themselves because the land at home was poor and unable to pay heavy taxes, so they chose to become a pirate.

It can be said that the three of them actually had a hint of hostility and distrust towards the so-called stable life. Although the life of the pirate is not as glorious and happy as in the adventure story, they hold swords and guns in their hands and make their lives by themselves. Compared with the days when they seemed stable but were shackled everywhere, they also felt a bit inexplicable sense of security.

Perhaps being a navy is also a way out, but William originally came from the 21st century earth and lived in an orderly and stable society. It was bizarre enough for criminals who were responsible for major cases to join the army. It was even more nonsense to become a senior official. The initial political review was a different story, so he did not consider joining the navy from the beginning, while Ajin and others had an instinctive disgust for the navy that had been pursuing them after being pirates.

"That's to continue to be a pirate?" William looked at Alamis again with a serious expression and emphasized little by little: "You ask me why I still have to learn something to stay with me? I also want to ask you, there are many jobs in this world that are easier and safer than pirates. Why do we choose to be a pirate? In order to live a life of stagnation? In order to experience the fun of playing hide-and-seek with the Navy? Live a day today or not tomorrow?"

"Maybe luck is good. After the robbery, we can drink a good wine together and take a spoil that has been taken away from the big head. If you are not lucky, you will find that before you can mourn the death of your companion, you will find that there is only a pile of shit that cannot be sold on the ship you just snatched. Then you may have to face a pirate captain with a bad temper. You must worry that he will vent your anger on you at any time. You want to save some money, but you may be killed tomorrow. The hard-earned money you have saved is cheaper for others. If you don't save money, it will be even worse. If you can survive by chance, when you are not young, without savings and being injured, you will feel that life is worse than death! Then tell me now, Alamis, do you want to live this kind of life?"

Alamis lowered his head when William said, and William looked at Akin and Wallon again.

"Even doing business, we pay attention to rewards. If we invest as much as we want, we hope to reward. When we are pirates, we invest that everyone has only one life, and then this is the reward we are looking for?" William spat, "Damn it, are you willing? Anyway, I'm not willing."

Ajin Ningsheng asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

William's eyes lit up. I don't know if it was because of the backlight of the fire or the breeding of ambition: "We want to form our own fleet. If we even sacrifice our lives, then why should we be destined to be unknown minions? Why can't we be a big pirate? The East China Sea is called the weakest sea area among the four seas. Goldo Roger has never had an amazing big pirate again. Even Roger's execution in the East China Sea is regarded as a shame by the world! In the East China Sea, I don't know how many pirates look forward to themselves in their hearts, or if others will rename the people of the East China Sea again. Just like the Pirates in the past, you are also a native of the East China Sea. Now you tell me, you don't want to be such an amazing pirate!?"
