dark night.

The silver moon hangs high in the sky.

The cold moonlight falls on the sea like tiny fish scales, shimmering with the waves.

The dark shadow of a giant ship quietly passed through the moonlit sea in the darkness.

This is a vampire pirate ship. At this moment, the deck of the ship is immersed in the thick, honey-like moonlight, and the scenes on the ship are clearly visible in the dark night.

On the deck, a hunched merman, his barnacle-covered back, struggled to pull at the rusted fishing net with his webbed claws. The fluorescent octopus and various fish in the net struggled desperately, occasionally gnawing at the merman's fingers.

A group of skinny human slaves, dressed in tattered clothes, huddled beside the cannon, carefully wiping the copper pipes.

Blackened teeth marks still remained on their necks. Whenever a vampire pirate passed by, these slaves would shudder involuntarily, reflexively ripping open their collars to expose their shoulders.

The orc laborers gasped hard in front of the capstan, the chains locking their legs clanging as their muscles stretched. Beads of sweat, mixed with blood, rolled down their bodies and dripped onto the backs of the halflings beside them.

These little men performed jobs that required small stature and agility, climbing back and forth between masts like spiders and repairing torn bat-wing sails with their bleeding hands.

At the top of the mast, a pirate flag fluttered in the moonlight. A striking pattern of bats and intertwined bones was etched on the black flag.

The giant ship of this vampire pirate group has its name spelled out in blood and bones on one side of the hull - the Bloody Bride.

Suddenly, there was a sticky sucking sound from the stern.

Two vampires were lying on the carotid artery of an unconscious orc and drinking to their heart's content. The dark red saliva flowed along the orc's grayish-blue skin and finally flowed into the drain hole.

Taking advantage of this gap, several halflings tried to struggle and escape. However, they were soon pierced through the soles of their feet by the iron hooks curled up from the whips, and hung upside down in the air, like moving blood bags, swaying helplessly in the night wind.

At this time, a little head cautiously poked out from the plywood stairs, quietly observing the situation outside.

The child had a pale face and a pair of mysterious scarlet pupils. Although his face was dirty, it still couldn't hide his childish appearance.

Suddenly, a foot stepped hard on his head, knocking him down.

"Stop peeking around here, little brat! Go back to your room!" The vampire pirate still had blood stains on the corners of his mouth. He staggered and cursed.

The vampire child whose head was stepped on patted the dirt on his head and glared fiercely at the back of the pirate who had already left.

He looked outside reluctantly, a hint of sympathy for the miserable conditions of the slaves in his eyes, but he finally retracted his gaze silently.

Relying on the vampire's good vision in the dark, he quickly returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the house, he was surrounded by several children. It seemed that this boy was the oldest among them.

"Brother Adam, what's the situation outside now?" asked a little girl in thin clothes.

She also had a pale face and crimson eyes, indicating the same race as Adam.

Adam looked at the little girl, patted her hair gently, and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, we are on the sea now."

"At sea? Then we can't go back. I want my mom! Mommy! Ahhhh!" A boy sat on the floor and couldn't help bursting into tears.

As he cried, the other children were infected and started crying too.

The noisy crying made a little girl in the corner particularly irritated. She couldn't help but curse, "Why are you crying? You are such a bunch of idiots! Your mother would have given up on you if you were caught here!"

"No!" The little boy who was crying just now retorted loudly in a sobbing voice.

"We're freaks! No one will want us!"

"No, my mom said I'll be a night watchman in the future! The night watchman will definitely protect me!"

"Your mother lied to you. I've never heard of a night watchman." The little girl continued to curse mercilessly.

The little boy cried even louder.

"Eva, stop saying that," Adam said quickly.

"Idiot, you are a big idiot too!" Eva cursed angrily, then shrank back into the darkness of the corner.

Just then, a rude and angry voice came from outside the door. "Cry, cry, cry! If you cry any more, I'll hang you all from the mast! Just rest quietly, little devils! Why are you making so much noise?"

The angry shouting outside was obviously very intimidating. The room instantly became much quieter and all the children subconsciously lowered their voices.

Only one little boy opened the door and cautiously stuck his head out.

"Bald monster, I curse you to be eaten by a fish tomorrow!"

"What did you say? You toothless little brat!" The vampire pirate who was cursing outside ran over angrily, but unfortunately the door was quickly closed.

In the dark night, he did not dare to knock on the door. After all, the child in the room was of the same race as them, and was fundamentally different from the slaves outside.

"You will have a hard time tomorrow. If you have the guts, don't come out!" Only the footsteps could be heard gradually fading away.

Adam looked at the little boy, sighed helplessly and said, "Tokeke, don't provoke them, or I'll hang you up in the sun again tomorrow."

"Tsk, I'm not afraid of them. I love sunbathing the most. This is not a punishment at all!" Tokeke said stubbornly.

"Hiss!" He suddenly cried out in pain and quickly turned his head.

It turned out that a little girl accidentally touched the wound on his back.

"What are you doing!" Tokke said dissatisfiedly.

The little girl was frightened by his reaction and quickly stepped back a few steps. She waved her hand and said, "Yes, I'm sorry. I saw that you had an injury on your back, so I wanted to help you heal it."

"This is not an injury, it's proof that I love sunbathing!" Tokke shouted.

Eva, who had retreated into the darkness before, came out again. She pulled the little girl back, gently stroked her golden hair and said, "Ignore him, he's just a fool."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but then timidly reached out her hand and gently touched the wound. In an instant, a thin film of blood covered the wound.

"You!" Tokek was about to shout, but this time he stopped.

"Oh! It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Really? Let me see."

"I want to see it too, I want to see it too!"

"Let me see it too!"

This magical scene attracted the children who had just been suppressing their tears to come over.

"Hehe!" Tokeke became inexplicably proud and looked very arrogant.

"What a fool," Eva said with disgust.

Adam, the oldest person here, smiled with satisfaction as he watched this scene.

He walked to Eva, put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently: "You are actually very happy too."

Eva instantly looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. The cat ears that had been hidden in her hair suddenly popped up. She frantically slapped Adam's hand away and said, "Who's happy? Idiot!"

After saying this, she hugged the little girl in her arms and ran away muttering to herself.

Adam just smiled, his eyes following Eva's wagging tail.

Then, his eyes fell on the little girl, and he thought to himself: "Pointy ears, is she an elf? So the ship stopped in Tate Continent a few days ago?
Hmm...but it seems we've stopped at other places before. Sigh, how can we get everyone out of here?"

As he thought about it, Adam couldn't help but sigh.

The children cried and made a fuss for a long time, and gradually, one by one fell asleep.

Adam carried the children who were sleeping in all directions to their respective beds one by one. After settling everything, he finally sat down by his own bed.

On the bed opposite him, Eva was sleeping. (End of this chapter)
