Chapter 1441: Courage 9 (Thanks To President TIMUSW)
Annie! It’s Annie! ! ! !
When he was reading the novel, although Simon was the most popular character in the comnts section, Chen Fan’s favorite female character was Annie.
The reason was very simple, because the red-haired girl had what he yearned for the most — courage!
It was believed that any reader who had read the novel would find it hard to forget this handso and carefree girl who courageously pursued freedom.
Of course, the current Annie could no longer be called a girl.
Chen fan finally realized that the king ntioned in the background introduction should be Zhang Heng. After all, when Zhang Heng left the dungeon, he had already beco the Master of the Seven Seas and had defeated the British navy several tis, his na had long been known by everyone. Therefore, the ti Chen Fan had experienced the dungeon was probably after Zhang Heng had left the Black Sail chapter.
Even though Annie was only in her teens when Zhang Heng first t her, the ti span of the blacksail dungeon was very long. It had been more than ten years, and Annie was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old now.
However, Chen Fan was still very excited to see his favorite female character. He imdiately blurted out, “I want to join, I want to join!”
It wasn’t that he hadn’t heard what Dufresne had said before. Now wasn’t the right ti to beco a pirate, but the problem was that the pirate gang that Zhang Heng had established all those years ago was standing right in front of him! Other than the red-haired pirate Annie, there was also the Quartermaster Dufresne, Billy, Harry, and other famous characters. Chen fan didn’t think that he would be able to be so close to them one day.
If he missed this opportunity, he did not know when the next ti would co.
Annie heard his words and raised her eyebrows. “You want to join?”
“Yes, yes.”Chen fan hurriedly nodded. In the end, he saw that the red-haired captain did not imdiately agree. Instead, she used her gaze to sweep him from head to toe. Chen Fan’s face suddenly turned red again, he knew his own affairs well. Due to his lack of training, his body could not be considered strong among ordinary people, let alone among a group of veteran pirates.
He was simply like a chicken standing out from a crane.
Sure enough, he heard the quartermaster, Dufresne, say, “What can you do?”
“I can...”Chen Fan was speechless. Strictly speaking, a 21st century high school student was quite versatile in the 18th century. However, if his position was limited to a pirate ship, there were very few things he could do, he definitely could not do battle, not to ntion nautical mapping, and he did not have any culinary skills..
However, Chen fan thought about it and really found a job that he could do. “I, I can do accounting!”
“Accounting?”Dufresne’s expression eased a little. Indeed, an accountant was essential to all pirate ships. The spoils of war that were obtained after each raid needed to be counted, the use of public funds on the ship also needed to be recorded by soone.
“But we don’t need bookkeepers anymore. Old Barry did quite well. He even took in an apprentice nad Benny. If anything happens to Old Barry, Benny can take over. Besides bookkeeping, when there’s real trouble, they can also take up weapons and join the battle.”The quartermaster’s next words were like a basin of cold water, chen fan felt a chill run down his spine.
“I’m sorry, Kid. I’m afraid there’s no place for you on our ship.”
Chen fan stood rooted to the ground as he watched the pirates move the valuable goods, bacon, biscuits, and alcohol onto their pirate ship, leaving only about twenty days of water and food for the people on the ship.
“This is the rule set by the pirate king. You’re on a trade route, so there are still many ships coming and going. As long as your luck isn’t too bad, these goods are enough for you to wait for rescue. So, thank him for his rcy,”the red-haired female pirate said, she was about to bring her n back to her ship.
But at this mont, an anxious voice ca from behind her, “Wait!”
The person who spoke was none other than Chen Fan, who had volunteered to join the pirate gang. Chen fan ignored the strange gazes of the people around him. Those people seed to be relieved after hearing that the red-haired pirate had left food and water for them, they were not as nervous as when they had just been captured. There was even a hint of joy in the eyes of many people, as if they were happy that they could escape from the jaws of the tiger.
However, Chen Fan was not as optimistic as they were. As a senior coward, he did not want to gamble his life on the vast sea, even though according to Annie, this was the main trade route, the chances of other ships passing by were quite high, but what if they were unlucky and did not encounter them in twenty days?
When Chen fan heard the na of this dungeon, he could not help but feel a chill. He did not believe that the system would allow him to complete the mission so easily. Moreover, if he really followed this rchant ship back to London safely.., then he would be in big trouble.
When he applied to join Annie’s pirate gang previously, he was watched by many pairs of eyes. These rchants and sailors had suffered heavy losses this ti. They might not be able to do anything to Annie and the others who were far away, however, it was not a problem to vent his anger on a helpless easterner like him. He might even be considered as a pirate partner when he returned and be exposed. Moreover, England’s attitude towards pirates was especially strict now, what awaited him after that was probably hanging.
In order to avoid such a tragedy, Chen fan had to blend in with the group of pirates in front of him no matter what.
Annie stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Chen Fan. Although she did not leave, the expression in her eyes was very clear. If Chen Fan did not really have sothing urgent to stop her.., then she did not mind teaching him a lesson.
Chen fan could not help but shiver when the red-haired female pirate glared at him. It was only then that he realized that other than the bonus from the fan filter, the person standing in front of him was a female pirate leader whose hands were covered in blood, the life of a female pirate leader who ca out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood might not an anything to her.
But at this ti, Chen Fan had no way out. He could only bite the bullet and say, “I... I can actually still fight.”
As soon as he said this, the group of pirates opposite him burst into laughter. The main reason was that Chen Fan’s small body and his words were too powerful, instantly heating up the atmosphere.
“You can fight? I bet even my grandmother can fight better than you!”
“Is this guy drunk? Do you want to help him sober up?”So pirates were already rubbing their fists.
Chen fan was so scared that he couldn’t help but tremble. He used almost all of his strength to force himself not to retreat. Then, he clenched his teeth and said in a trembling voice, “Give... Give a knife, I can prove it.”
