MTL - Never Fade Skull Flag-Chapter 7 that's freedom

"Dong, dong, dong!"

There was a knock on Andy's door. He got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Roger's dangerous face.

"Andy, the captain wants to see you."

"Oh, okay, let's go."

Andy's house is next to the captain's room, and his small door is only two steps away from the main door of the captain's room.

"Master Captain, here he is."

"Well, come in."

Zach's indifferent voice came out, and Andy couldn't help shivering. There is a mysterious power in Zach, which is cold and terrifying, and the keen Andy can perceive it.

The captain's room is indeed the cleanest and most luxurious place on a ship.

In the middle is a row of long tables, candles are lit on silver lampstands, and a crystal chandelier is on the head. The walls are surrounded by fresh orchids, and there is an oil painting hanging on the wall. It's Captain Zach with a sword.

Zach was sitting on a bench in the corner at this time, and in front of him was a messy table with a colorful nautical chart painted on it, and some other things.

Andy walked over with Roger and said hello, "Master Captain."

Zach grinned, stood up, and said in a low voice, "I heard you know divination?"

"Sir, it's a prediction, it's just a natural sense of danger."

Of course Andy can't be called divination, divination is black magic, and he doesn't want people to know that he has such power.

"Do you need to borrow external force to predict?"

"No, this is a very mysterious feeling, and you don't need to borrow anything. Of course, if you want to be more accurate, I think there is something that can help me."

"what do you need?"

Zach asked with interest.

"If nothing else, my task should be to predict storms, right? Captain?"

Zach nodded, "Yes, there are too many storms in the stormy sea. Although seagulls can help us determine the weather, it is a pity that the footprints of seagulls do not spread over the entire stormy sea. If you look at the changes in clouds and water vapor, , that seems a little late."

Although the Goddess of Despair will survive every time it encounters a storm, some sailors will always be knocked off the deck by the strong wind and rain and disappear into the boundless ocean.

And the huge waves from the storm will wet the deck, pour into the cabin, and wet the food and gunpowder.

"If it's a storm, I need a few pieces of turtle shells that were born under the moonlight in the middle of the night, um, and some black seagull feathers."

Andy thought about it and said, he must use these things, because in fact he can't predict, only divination.

"It sounds mysterious, and it's similar to what those greedy alchemists need, like the legendary black magic."

Zach stared at Andy and said casually.

"In fact, these things with mysterious power can make my predictions more accurate, maybe because of this mysterious power."

"That's true."

Zach nodded and looked at Roger, "I think old Bubby should have these things. When you go to pick up the head statue tomorrow, remember to buy some back."

"Master Captain, your will will be executed."

Roger nodded and said respectfully.

"Okay, if what you say is true, then you will become the second only existence on the Goddess of Despair after me and my first mate, but if it is false, I think you will become food for sharks."

"As you think, sir."

Seeing Andy's confident look, Zach nodded happily. The storm has always plagued the pirates in this sea area. Now that his problem is solved, the Goddess of Despair's strength will also develop rapidly.

Zach looked at Andy, and his eyes lit up when he saw his outfit.

"Andy, your sword and gun are very good."

"Well, my sister prepared it for me."

Andy thought of Anna and smiled.

"I'm very curious. It seems that you are not short of money, so why do you want to be a pirate? Are young people restless and want to pursue excitement?"

"Stimulate…"

Andy's eyes were dazed for a while, he nodded and shook his head again.

"So great captain, why do you want to be a pirate?"

"Me?" Zach showed a look of reminiscence, "I was for a lot of gold coins at first, and now, it is to conquer this ocean!"

"Wealth, power, and ambition." Roger said in a deep voice, "In fact, at first I was for exploration, but now I am also for these."

"Wealth, power, ambition."

Andy repeated, as if he understood something.

Looking at Andy's confused look, Zach chuckled, "Maybe our Andy doesn't even know why he wants to be a pirate."

Zach took Andy out of the captain's room, went up to the poop, stood beside the rudder, and shouted loudly.

"You bastards! Tell me why you want to be a pirate!"

"Hey, head, I think it's endless gold coins and shiny jewels!"

"And endless rum, beautiful women whose skin is as smooth as milk!"

"Of course, there are also indulgent pleasures! Only us pirates can do it!"

Listening to the words of the pirates on the deck, Zach looked at Andy with a smile, "Look, this is what we want."

"That's not what I want."

Andy shook his head, his tone was very solemn.

"Then what do you want?"

Zach stood next to Andy, and his shady appearance seemed much warmer in the sun.

"What I want is to have a boat of my own. I lie on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, without thinking about anything, and let the boat float with the waves."

Zach's eyes changed a little, and he asked, "What is that?"

"I think, that's freedom."

…

Zach's smile subsided, UU reading www.uukanshu. com looked at Andy and said two words in his mouth, "Freedom?"

He slowly walked down the stairs and returned to the captain's room.

The pirates on the deck looked at Andy and laughed loudly. Roger patted Andy on the shoulder and sighed suddenly, "Andy, you will know later that true freedom is harder than power. get."

"And the general freedom, in fact, you are already in it."

The seagulls flew around the mast constantly, and the artist-like sailor Andler leaned on the fence of the deck, playing the bagpipes softly, which mixed with the chirping of the seagulls into a wonderful movement.

The pirates started their work again. Tomorrow, when the portraits are delivered, they will set sail. Now they need to tie the sails and polish the deck. The rude pirates have no feelings for Andy's words. They laugh at Andy. , because when you become a pirate, you are already free.

You can wander and explore on the ocean, enjoy free will, do not need to pay taxes, do not need to work in the manor, and do not need to listen to the reprimands of nobles, isn't this freedom?

Andy shook his head. He was going back to his small house. Just as he walked down the stairs, Roger above threw him something.

Andy caught it, it was a delicate leather jug.

"kindness?"

Andy was puzzled and looked at Roger in confusion.

"Drink, because you're in freedom, though you don't know it, Andy!"

"Freedom?" Andy seemed to understand.

"One cup to freedom, one cup to death." Roger's eyes drifted into the distance along the waves of the sea.

The mellow rum entered the abdomen down the throat, leaving a slightly drunk aroma between the lips and teeth. Andy's mood suddenly improved, and the sea breeze brought a fishy and salty smell.

This is the taste of freedom.
