Chapter 114 Hitchhiking

Five ships flying the flag of purple grape slowly sailed into the pier of Yingzui Island.

Samwell looked at Natalie Dane who was jumping down from the boat, and was wondering how she came here on the boat from Arbor Island, when he heard the little girl waving at him from afar and shouting:

"Come on, Sam! Two gentlemen from the Arbor offer us a lift to King's Landing."

Samwell saw the two brothers Horace and Hope standing at the bow of the boat, so he waved his hands happily to thank them.

However, what he didn't know was that Huo Bo at the bow was gritting his teeth and said to his brother:

"Miss Natalie insists on bringing this guy Sam, **** it, do you think I should arrange for him to go to the back boat?"

Horace looked at the countess who was affectionately holding Samwell's arm, and nodded seriously:

"Yes, otherwise you probably wouldn't have had any chance."

The reason why the two brothers from Qingting Island took the initiative to come to Starfall City to invite Natalie to accompany them is actually because of the order of their father, Earl Paxter.

The purpose is obvious, it is to let Hooper and the countess get along well, if it can collide with the spark of love, that would be the best.

Facing the young and beautiful countess with a generous dowry, Hopper naturally readily agreed, slapped his chest loudly in front of his father and said that he would definitely conquer Miss Natalie with his charm.

To be honest, if Horace hadn't been the eldest son who would inherit the Arbor Island in the future, he wouldn't be able to help but compete with his younger brother at this moment.

However, looking at the two people below with an intimate attitude, Horace suddenly gloated a little.

Brother, you have a strong competitor this time.

Of course, Hopper was also aware of the crisis, and hurriedly got off the gangway to meet Samwell and Natalie.

"Sir Hopper, thank you so much this time!"

"Haha, you're welcome. It just happened to be on the way." Hopper tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, but stopped Samwell when he was about to board the ship, and said, "I'm really sorry, Sam, this Purple Grape It's full, why don't you go to the dedication ship behind?"

"Okay." Samwell nodded cheerfully.

Happy in his heart, Huo Bo hurriedly stretched out his hand to Natalie:

"Miss Natalie, please."

Unexpectedly, Natalie shook her head: "In this case, then I will also go to the next ship."

Hopper's smile suddenly froze on his face.



In the end, both Samwell and Natalie boarded the flagship Purple Grape. It is said that the two Redwyne brothers suddenly discovered that there were extra rooms.

After this farce, Samwell naturally knew the plans of the two brothers.

No wonder the two brothers came here to pick her up. They planned to pick up girls.

Of course it is impossible for him to let Hobber marry Natalie, otherwise the Starfall City that he has worked so hard to obtain will be controlled by the Redwyne family.

What's more, the little girl is not yet an adult.

You beasts!

So after boarding the boat, he stayed by Natalie's side all the time, never giving Hopper a chance.

It happened that Natalie also liked to pester Samwell, the two talked and laughed, and were very intimate, like a couple on a trip, making Hopper like an 800-watt light bulb.

"I can't take it anymore! Damn Samwell! I'm going to kill him!" In the small cabin room, Hopper turned around in anger.

Horras had a disdainful smile on his lips: "Hopper, haven't you always boasted that you are very popular with ladies? Why? You can't even compete with Samwell?"

"He cheated!" Huo Bo roared angrily, "That brat discovered that wild woman, and I'm afraid she'd already had **** with her. How can I compete with him now? It's not fair at all!"

Horace shrugged: "In this case, then you should give up. If you go back, you will be scolded by your father."

"No! I won't give up!"

"Don't give up?" Horace looked at his brother with red eyes and frowned, "Hopper, don't do stupid things."

Seeing his younger brother bowed his head and remained silent.

Horace realized something, immediately got anxious, got up and said: "Hopper, you can think clearly, that man is now the Baron of Yingzui Island, if something happens to him on our ship, High Court will not let us go Yes! Horn Hill and Liangshui City will not let it go! Father will not be able to save you then!"

"I heard that there are pirates on the Stone Step Islands..." Hooper said quietly, "This is a reasonable reason for him to disappear."

"Bullshit reasonable reason! Do you think everyone else is stupid! Huo Bo, don't implicate me if you go crazy! I still want to inherit Qingting Island safely."

"I see, brother." Hopper nodded, and seemed to have regained his composure, "I won't do stupid things."

"That's right." Horace hugged his younger brother's shoulders and comforted him, "It's just a woman. When you arrive in King's Landing, there will be a lot of ladies of noble birth waiting for you to choose. Why bother with this girl who came out of the red mountains?" The female savages here are competing."



"Stone Step Islands?"

The captain of the Purple Grape was puzzled, "Sir Hopper, if you go there, you will deviate from the main route, and I heard that a merchant ship encountered pirates in that area recently..."

"That's why we're going." Hopper said indifferently, "It's not the duty of the Qingting Island Fleet to fight pirates."

"But, sir, we only have five warships this time..."

"Enough." Hopper waved his hand confidently, "The Purple Grape is the main battleship with 300 oars, and the other four are all 100-oar warships. What kind of pirates can threaten us?"

The captain also felt that he was a little too cautious. Since the Iron Islands, the largest gathering place of pirates in Westeros, was brutally suppressed seven years ago, those ironmen did not dare to come out to plunder wantonly. Now the waters near the Stepstone Islands Although there were some pirates gathered, I heard that they were all unworthy brats.

"Okay, sir. I'll turn right now, but the waters around the Stone Step Islands are a bit rough, so you have to be prepared."



"Damn it! Why are the waves so big all of a sudden?"

The violent turbulence caused the windbreak lamp in the room to flicker on and off, illuminating Horace's face indistinctly. Under the miserable yellow firelight, the eldest son of Qingting Island staggered up from the bed.

It was already late at night. Horace opened the hatch, but he could only see darkness.

He called out the name of the attendant loudly, but only got a thunderous response.

After the thunder, the pouring rain swept down, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the deck densely, splashing a lot of water.

The sea wind is becoming more and more violent. Even if all the sails have been lowered, it still cannot stop the ship from bumping and shaking in the wind and waves. In the face of the majesty of nature, they are extremely fragile.

"The Stone Step Islands? Why are we going to the Stone Step Islands?" Horace found the captain and finally learned that the fleet had deviated from the main route. Frightened and furious, he immediately thought of his brother, "Damn it, it's Hopper !"

Horace was about to order the fleet to return to the main route, but suddenly there was a bright light in front of him.

It turned out that a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, almost lighting up the entire sea area as bright as day.

Boom!

A deafening thunder exploded in Horace's ears, followed by a sputtering sound, as if some huge object fell into the sea.

Before Horace came back to his senses, he heard someone yelling in horror:

"The mast is broken! The mast is broken!"
