Chapter 16 Meyer's Backing

Roger and Grubel stood on the plywood and looked at the sea. The sea was endless. Seagulls spread their wings in the distance, and the sea waves rolled and slapped on the boat, making a "hush" sound. Roger, who was going to sea for the first time, felt excited when he saw it.

The ship Olis packaged for them was large, larger than the flagship ship of ordinary pirates. Roger knew that it was originally a ship of the Royal Irish Fleet. After retirement, it was acquired by merchants for civilian use. Of course, the price was also quite expensive. This was the first time this ship carried such a small number of people and traveled such a short road. When he came here, Roger heard someone say that they were "stupid and had more money."

The captain of this ship is also from the Ireland State. He is a retired soldier. He has a gentlemanly demeanor from the Irish lineage and is still wearing the uniform of the Irish Navy. When Roger returned to the cabin, the captain with a big beard was leisurely drinking red wine.

"Hi, Mr. Roger, Mr. Grubel, are you interested in having a drink together?", the bearded captain waved to them through the window.

Roger bowed and returned the gift: "Honor is coming, Mr. Captain",

Roger remembered the customs and etiquettes of various places clearly, and there was no rudeness in his seat. However, Gruber had been making irons all his life and lacked understanding of these etiquettes. After pushing open the door, he seemed to be sitting in front of the captain, and drank half a bottle of wine on the table without saying anything.

"Oh, what a generous sir, are you from the Blacksmith Club?" said the captain.

The Blacksmiths of Atlantis are a large organization, they have unified standards and badges, and Grubel wears the badge of the first-class blacksmith on his chest. The captain himself, he has a deep memory of the mighty image of Grubel carrying a big iron hammer on his back, carrying a silver demon in one hand and holding the furnace in the other.

Roger introduced: "Uncle Grubel is a first-class blacksmith in the Blacksmith Club. He has the opportunity to advance to the potential blacksmith of the 'Golden Hand'."

The captain stretched out his hand very gentlemanly: "Look for a long time, Mr. Blacksmith",

The name Grubel is still a bit famous.

Grubel held his hand and said, "Good luck, Mr. Captain",

"Mr. Roger, are you also from the Blacksmith Society? I am ignorant. The people from the Blacksmith Society are not as generous as they are."

Not to mention the Blacksmith Club, even the pirates who spend money like money are not so generous, and the two of them have taken such a big boat.

Roger pulled up his sleeves and smiled, "Mr. Captain, I am an apprentice of mechanics and will take the entrance examination of Ziweihua Academy."

"Ziweihua Academy", the captain was in awe and extended his hand and said, "Mr. Mechanic, please forgive me for being rude. Pirates in the sea have been rampant recently. As the captain, I have to be cautious. My name is Jack. I just retired from the Royal Ireland Navy last year. Please forgive me for any offense."

"How could anyone blame you for your dedication and responsibility, excellent Captain Jack? But have pirates been rampant recently?"

Although Roger lives in Koloka Island, he has always been well-informed and does not know what new news about pirates have recently.

Captain Jack picked up the red wine and handed it to Roger and Grubel: "The recent pirates' actions have been much more restrained than before."

Grubel drank another drink and said, "Isn't that a good thing? Captain Jack."

Jack shook his head: "Mr. Grubel, the calmness of the sea always covers the storm. According to reliable information, Big Gold Tooth has contacted the Blue Viper and has set off the idea of ​​the Royal Navy."

Roger and Grubel looked at each other and felt a little incredible. What is the idea of ​​a pirate daring to fight against the Royal Irish Navy?

"I know this is a bit horrible, but trust me, Captain Jack won't joke about this," Jack said seriously.

Roger shook his wine glass, and the red wine in the glass turned beautifully into a splash of water: "The Royal Fleet is on high alert, with strong ships and sharp guns, how can he be afraid of pirates?"

Jack smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Roger, you don't know that the Golden Tooth Pirates have obtained secret protection from the Meyer family, and the flagship ship has been transformed. Although the current Big Golden Tooth cannot be compared with the Royal Fleet, its development speed is already amazing."

The Meyer family, Roger looked at Captain Jack with some sympathy. Everyone knows that the Meyer family is the richest family in Atlantis. It is not enough to describe its wealth that "wealth is as rich as a country". Meyer's family industry covers a full third of the vast continent.

The Meyer family's motto is: "War can draw wealth, and money can dominate war." It is a headache to face such a terrible family even if it is a Royal Irish fleet.

Roger talked to Captain Jack for a while, and soon the big ship crossed the shallow strait, and the town of Sloch was already very close.

"Goodbye, Mr. Roger, Mr. Grubel, I hope to see you again in the future." Captain Jack was still waving his hat after he got ashore.

Roger watched the ship leave, and Grubel, who was as powerful as a cow, placed the silver demon on the ground and picked up his beloved boiler.

Roger opened the modified black box and checked it again. The modified black box was completely renovated, with a sunken middle, raised up and down, and the strap was also replaced with silver.

In the box, Lolita's puppet, bald boy's puppet, three boxes of silver threads and three books of the puppet master were all there, so he closed the box and opened the mechanism.

"Uncle Grubel, aren't you tired?"

Although Grubel was much taller than Roger, the weight of the hammer and the boiler made Roger intimidated. He carried a black box and looked at the jungle ahead.

It is still a little far from Slok town, but it is time for him and Grubel to part.

"This weight is not worth mentioning," Grubel knocked on the boiler and said, "Little devil, uncle's path is clear, but your path is full of thorns."

Roger laughed and said, "Don't men just want to overcome all obstacles?"

Grubel nodded: "You are very similar to him, I hope you have a brighter future than him." He waved his hand as a farewell.

"I also hope that Uncle Grubel will become the 'golden hand' of the Blacksmith Club as soon as possible."

"Hahahaha, you will see that day, little devil." Grubel bent down and bent his knees, and suddenly shouted softly and jumped five meters high. The amazing explosive power made Roger shocked. He disappeared into the woods after a few leaps.

"It's time for us to leave, Silver Demon",

Roger tightened the silver strap and took two steps back and then trotted a few steps. He shouted three meters away from the silver demon and leaped onto the silver demon's back and lifted the lid. The cab under the lid was a little dim. He pressed the button below and turned on the light and jumped down. There was only one person in the narrow cab. He took out the drawings in his arms and studied the dense buttons and handles in front of him.

"There are actually hidden weapon launch devices, Dr. Demley, you are such a genius, hahahaha..."
