I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 164 The grace of saving lives

After Clara boarded the boat, she learned the cause of the incident from Julian, and followed Greenton to appease the little girl.

Not long after she left, the Beran brothers took seven or eight people onto the deck and came to Julian.

Before coming here, Julian told the Beran brothers and Greenton that there is no need to hold back against the pirates. Anyone who resists will be killed immediately, and the rest will be temporarily locked up. When they arrive at the dock, they will be handed over to the local security official.

So he was quite surprised to see the Belan brothers bringing so many people over.

The Belan brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother said: "Captain, these people... were all captured by these pirates. Shall we also send them to the sheriff?"

From the mouths of these pirates, Julian already knew that the city where the port closest to them was located belonged to the Shatan Empire, which was far away from the land of chaos, and it was also not close to the Kingdom of Maggie.

The Shatan Empire has a vast territory, about ten times that of the Maggie Kingdom. The reigning monarch Oliver III is a talented and generous monarch. During his reign, the Shatan Empire developed rapidly and had a very strong military force.

As a monarch with a relatively tough personality, the Shatan Empire has a strict attitude towards any opposition force that opposes the government, and pirates are naturally included in the period.

All pirates caught will be hanged in the port without exception, and their bodies will be used to deter the enemy.

Julian wanted to send the pirates on the ship to the magistrate, which was basically equivalent to sending them to the gallows, but he would not feel guilty about it. After all, these pirates were all murderous and brutal. Survival is equivalent to saving more people.

"Are they captured?" Julian glanced at these people and found that they were old and young, all of them were ragged and emaciated, and they were not at the same level as those tall and strong pirates.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you all?" Julian pointed to a thin old man and motioned for him to answer.

The old man smiled wryly and said, "My lord, I used to be a fisherman and lived in a village near the sea. These people..." He pointed to the pirates, "They came to rob our village, and everyone in the village was killed by them." It’s all over, I was kept by them because of my skills in repairing fishing boats and fishing nets.”

"What about you?" Julian pointed to another kid with messy hair who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.

The child seemed to have been greatly frightened, and kept silent all the time. The old man next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and offered to explain it to him. Only then did Julian know that the child was killed on a cargo ship. It was discovered that he was very ill when he was discovered, and it seemed that he had only one breath left. The pirates wanted to throw him overboard. When the old man saw him, he was already dragged to the side of the ship by those people. The old man couldn't stand it anymore, saying that he was getting old and hoped to pass on the craft of ship repairing, so he saved the child.

After recovering from the illness, the child seemed to have burnt out his throat and became dumb, which reassured the pirates. After waking up, he not only learned the skills of ship repairing from the old man, but also worked part-time as the cook on the ship and gave the pirates Doing odd jobs, anyway, I survived like this in a daze.

In order to prove that they are all good people, the old man also emphasized that the child also rescued a little girl. It happened that Clara also came back from the cabin and reported to Julian that the little girls were in good condition. People hid, although suffered a little crime, but not too much harm.

When Julian heard the words, he was very surprised that this kid was so courageous that he dared to hide a woman on the boat.

According to the old man, when these pirates accidentally found a large ship that had been looted, the pirates who did it didn't know what to think, but they didn't drag the ship away and sell it, but left them on it like that .

The pirates on their ship also know that they are not strong enough, and they never dare to provoke such a powerful warship, but it doesn't matter if they have been looted, even if the big head is taken away by those big pirates, the rest It's enough for little pirates like them to fill their stomachs.

Besides... They didn't even tow the boat away, what if there were other good things left behind?Even if there is not much hope, there is always hope, right?

With luck in mind, they boarded the warship. There were corpses and blood all over the ship, and the wreckage of those corpses was scattered all over the ground. Even the pirates couldn't bear this kind of brutal massacre. , Many people spit it out directly.

The bald captain bravely entered the cabin, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the inside had not been touched. It seemed that the purpose of those people was to kill people. As long as this purpose was achieved, everything else would not matter.

The bald captain is not stupid. He knows that there must be something big going on here, but he doesn't care. Everyone on the ship is dead, and he didn't do it. As long as the things on the ship are emptied, he will burn the ship down. At that time, on the vast sea, who can find him?

In this way, he ordered his subordinates to start searching everywhere, including the child. That child found a little girl who survived under such circumstances. She said it was a little girl, but she was actually not young. Maybe she was younger than this child. It's even older, but the little girl looks petite and looks pitiful. When she saw the child, she cried and begged him to let her go.

The child was moved with compassion, and while the people on the boat were busy robbing things, he found a piece of ragged clothes, covered them up, pretended to be carrying things, and let her board the boat secretly.

After boarding the ship, they hide people. Most of the pirates are very lazy. Except for the necessary work, some corner cleaning is all given to them, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The child took this opportunity to The little girl hid in the bilge of the cargo warehouse. He usually does the cleaning of the cargo warehouse, so if there is no accident, no one will find him. When they landed, he will find a way to let her go.

There were many loopholes in his plan, but he was lucky if he couldn't stand it. After hiding for three days, the pirate ship encountered Julian unluckily, and was caught by others, and his life was saved.

Apart from the old man and the child, the rest of the people also belonged to the 'skilled workers'. They were all survivors of pirate raids, and they survived on this ship because of their skills.

However, because what they have is only a "skill", they belong to the bottom of the biological chain on the ship, and anyone can bully them. Some of them died early because they couldn't stand the bullying of the pirates, and the rest are just temper Soft—or cowardly—is the only way to survive on a boat.

Julian asked the other pirates for a separate question, and after confirming that these unlucky guys were all captured and that there were no lives on their hands, he put them aside alone.

These people are innocent, and Julian has no intention of handing them over to the sheriff of the port.

Most of them are not burdened by their families. Julian intends to ask them if they are interested in working for him after the matter is over. Whether it is the Crimson or the Gray Tower Leader, they have always been in a state of lack of people, especially Gray Tower Leader, he has proposed many advanced concepts before. Nina and the others have developed a lot of tools based on those concepts. Various workshops have been built, and a large number of manpower is urgently needed to fill the goblins to work. After that, the agricultural aspect left a gap.

"Mr. Julian, do you want to take care of that lady?" Clara asked softly after Julian arranged those people.

"Huh? Do I need to see her?" Julian wondered.

Clara's expression seemed a bit perplexed. Logically speaking, as a maid, she should take on the responsibility of solving troubles for her master, but that lady is really... hard to describe.

"What's the matter?" Owen had already dealt with the people on the whole ship who were still trying to resist, and walked to Julian's side, holding him in his arms.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s going to return to the Church of the Holy Light in the future, but Owen has been particularly clingy in the past few days, and he has truly achieved the achievement of letting himself go, without caring about other people’s eyes at all.

Fortunately, when Julian signed the contract with everyone, he was careful. The confidentiality contract also included his family members—that is, Owen’s confidentiality regulations. Anyway, at least the people on board must have no chance to betray him.

Of course, even without this contract, Julian believed that these people would not betray Owen. After all, he had been in business for so long, and he was still very confident in the character of these people.

Clara spoke out the little girl's request.

"He wants to see Julian?" Owen frowned unconsciously, and he didn't know why the request made by the other party made him suddenly feel unhappy. Maybe... this is an instinctive intuition?

Clara paused for a second, and said in a deep voice, "No, to be precise, the person he met was not Mr. Julian, but...the person who saved him."

Owen suddenly turned black: "Isn't that Julian?" Is there a difference between the two?

Clara smiled: "Of course it's different. Mr. Julian is Mr. Julian, but the person who saved him may not necessarily be Mr. Julian."

Clara's words were a bit convoluted, but Julian immediately understood what she meant, and asked with great interest, "Why do you think she insists on seeing me?"

Clara shrugged her shoulders: "Who knows, anyway, this lady... even if she hid for three days, she still doesn't know how to restrain her arrogance. To be honest, I'm still surprised that she can live for so long."

Julian: ...

What the hell?Pride?You seem to be teasing me?

Julian looked at Clara in shock. How could a little girl who hid in the pirate cabin in order to escape for her life have such arrogance?

Clara looked at him sadly: yes, she is a spoiled little girl.

She said implicitly: "I think she survived mainly because of luck."

What luck?Julian and the others came in time!

Otherwise, how long can a spoiled little girl wait under the cabin?

Julian could imagine that sooner or later she would be a drag on the child who had saved her.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and felt that the little girl was a trap. He glanced at Owen for help, Owen was immediately pleased by his lover's pleading expression, and waved his hand: "Then bring her to see me, I am her." savior."

Clara went to bring the little girl over, and Julian took advantage of this time to remind those around him not to reveal their secrets.

So, when Clara took a little girl who was a bit dirty but couldn't hide her charming appearance on the deck, what she saw was Owen surrounded by everyone—and Julian.
