Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 31 Captain Jack
Jack held the rudder and looked at the people on the deck. From now on, these people were his subordinates.

The surname Sparrow has clearly revealed his ambition.

"Guys, from now on, you will follow the great Captain Jack!"

"As long as you follow me, I will lead you to travel across the endless sea and explore endless treasures."

The pirates looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect Jack to lecture them in this way. This was obviously against the tradition of pirates. Pirates' business was to rob merchant ships and plunder wealth, not to explore.

Even Chong Quan frowned. He wanted to ask Jack what he wanted to do, but he couldn't ask because other people were still there.

Jack didn't care what people thought. Although he called out Captain Jack's name, he didn't know that the real Captain Jack would not really rob merchant ships. Even the real Captain Jack would focus on exploration.

The ocean has endless treasures, and it is a wealth that can never be spent. Why take the risk of robbing when you can feed a whole ship of people just by exploring?
Of course, if you encounter pirates in distress, it is okay to rob them.

Jack has planned the future development path in his mind. As long as these people follow him, they can accumulate enough wealth for their retirement in a few years.

"Anu, from now on, you are the first mate. Lead them to work. I am going to talk to the former captain. He has a lot of wealth."

He nodded with a heavy fist, and the pirates started to work.

"Throw all the bodies into the sea and clean the deck first."

The human pirates immediately started working. This was a job they did frequently and they were very familiar with it.

Chong Quan looked at the dozen or so people on the merchant ship and said, "You should know how to fire a cannon, right?"

The merchant ship guard nodded, "Of course!"

"Okay then! Go to the gun room immediately and put the cannons back in place. The Blackwater Pirates still have more than ten ships in the nearby waters. If they find out that something has happened here after daybreak, they will definitely attack us. At that time, the cannons will be the last guarantee for our survival."

The merchant ship guards immediately rushed to the stairs to prepare for battle.

"Check the mast, sails, and oars. If there is any problem, report to me immediately."

"Hurry up, we have to get everything done before dawn."

In the captain's room, Nadro looked at Jack with fear, "Jack, I didn't mean to hang you. For the sake of me saving you, please don't hurt me."

Jack found the contract from the drawer and said, "So, you want me to work for you for free all my life?"

Ned Luo laughed awkwardly, "The contract can be torn up."

Jack nodded, picked up the kerosene lamp, and lit the contract.

"You are right. The contract can be torn up. But it is not you who tore up the contract, but me. So, what price are you willing to pay to save your life?"

When Nedro heard this, he knew he would not die. But he was in a dilemma again, because Jack wanted him to pay money to redeem himself. For goblins, money is more important than life. Although he was more far-sighted than the average goblin, he knew that no matter how much money he had, it would be useless if he lost his life. But when he thought about having to pay a large sum of money, he felt very distressed.

However, the situation is stronger than the person, so even if he is a stingy person, he has to pluck a few feathers.

"I have over a hundred gold coins in my safe. I can give you fifty... twenty."

Jack laughed angrily, "Twenty gold coins?"

Ned Rotten felt that Jack was greedy, but he could only raise the price, "How about thirty?"

Jack was silent, just staring into the goblin's eyes. Nidro said with a sad face, "Fifty gold coins, no more."

He couldn't bear any more, and the heartache would kill him.

Jack sneered and patted Nadro's face. "You have to understand one thing. This ship and everything on it have become my spoils, including your safe and all the money inside."

When the goblin heard this, he felt his heart suddenly skip a beat and he fainted with his eyes rolled back.

Jack:…

He didn’t say anything!

Jack didn't think he said anything harsh, but to Nadro it sounded like a fatal word. Although the cost of this ship was not very high, the more than ten cannons on it were expensive! Adding the wealth in the safe, the total amount exceeded three hundred gold coins. The goblin, who was already distressed to take out twenty gold coins, lost three hundred gold coins at once, how could he not faint?

He patted Nadro on the face, but Nadro didn't react at all. Jack had no choice but to find the key to the safe in the captain's room and open it.

In addition to the more than 100 gold coins mentioned by Nedro, there were also some engineering formulas. It seemed that this goblin was also an engineer. After flipping through it, Jack unexpectedly found the blueprints of artillery. Did he make all the artillery on the ship himself?

Jack had a bad feeling. After all, goblin creations were known for their instability. If the goblin captain had really forged the cannon himself, the risk would be too great. It might explode at any time.

After putting the drawings back, Jack looked at the small boxes inside. When he opened one, he found a crudely made instrument.

Goblin pacemaker?
Jack started laughing, not knowing how to use this thing. He looked back and saw that Nadro had not woken up yet.

He put the goblin pacemaker back, checked and found that there was nothing else, then took out the purse and locked the safe again.

When he walked out of the captain's room with the money bag, the sky was already slightly bright. When the east was getting light and he could roughly see things, Jack asked Chongquan to gather everyone.

In front of everyone, he poured out the gold coins in his pocket and counted them one by one.

"There are 156 gold coins here. According to the agreement between you and me, Anu can get 10% of it."

Jack counted out sixteen gold coins and handed them to Chong Quan. A smile immediately appeared on Chong Quan's face. Jack's generosity proved that his choice was correct. Before, he only earned five gold coins a year. Sixteen gold coins were enough for him to work for more than three years.

"Twenty percent is thirty-two gold coins." Jack looked at the human pirate, "But there are 13 of you in total, so each of you should get three gold coins!"

The human pirates were overjoyed and quickly lined up to receive the gold coins.

The people in the caravan couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They were also jealous of so much money! But Jack had an agreement with them to divide the money between Heavy Fist and the human pirates. The people in the caravan didn't reach an agreement with Jack, so they could only watch helplessly.

Jack looked over and said, "Although I didn't make any agreement with you, if you help me capture this ship, you can also get three gold coins each."

The people in the caravan were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Jack.

After everyone received the money, Jack put the remaining gold coins back into his purse and walked up to the troll pirates.

"Now, I'll give you a choice, do something for me or be thrown into the sea."

The troll pirates had no choice but to bow their heads to Jack, "We are willing to work for you, Captain."

Jack waved his hand and had them released, then took out gold coins from his purse, "Since you chose to work for me, each of you can get a gold coin."

The unexpected surprise made the troll pirates very happy, and they all praised Jack. Finally, they merged into one sentence: "Long live Captain Jack——"
