Extraordinary Sailing
Chapter 425: Clue
The night was thick.
The low and low dark clouds and drizzle in the sky perfectly concealed the subtle movements from the sea.
A three-masted pirate ship with a much lower deck structure than normal ships, and two narrow two-masted privateers quietly approached the shore of a large island under the drizzle.
Not far from the shore, there is a small town full of Cyrus style, and their purpose is self-evident.
"Captain, we will arrive at Holguin Island soon.
However, the rain today is really weird. Although it is indeed beneficial to our sneak attack, the storm bottle clearly shows that there is no rain at night. "
On the "Wrestler" with the black dragon head flag, the middle-aged navigator found the captain Alec in a leather raincoat and informed him of the current location of the pirate ship.
Clang——
In the captain's room, the old pirate Alec, who had a completely new mental state compared to the past, put the excellent scimitar that had just been maintained with animal fat into a sheath, and tied it around his waist.
"Okay, I see. The imitation is not a real ocean secret treasure after all, and it is possible that there are some omissions. Have you sent a signal from our sentry?"
He doesn't particularly care about the weather, as long as it doesn't have much impact on tonight's actions.
"Captain, there is no problem with the last contact before nightfall, and they have identified several of the most valuable targets in the town.
Don't worry, they are all carefully selected elites, and we won't let us miss any gold coins! "
This is a collective action that gathers three pirate ships in the pirate group at once, and the most important thing is that the target is attractive enough. While the navigator was in high spirits, he was certainly cautious enough.
"That's good!"
A few minutes later, the three warships docked smoothly.
The pirates of the Marine Corps had already completed their assembly, each of them was given a glass of rum and drank it down for themselves.
Alec stood at the bow and waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go after drinking!"
"Roar!"
Alcoholism is of course bad, but a moderate amount of alcohol can stimulate the morale and courage of soldiers, and it has become a must-have item before pirates plunder.
It is said that this tradition originated from the armies of various countries in the era of queuing and shooting.
subsequently.
clatter
In addition to the necessary remaining personnel on the three ships, a large group of pirates with a total of more than 200 people came to the shore with muskets that had been equipped with rainproof covers in advance.
However, this pirate team was obviously different from other pirates. Under the restraint of a group of pirate cadres, they lined up neatly and completed the assault formation before rushing towards the small town with flickering lights.
Undoubtedly, this is the habit brought over from the army by the former navy soldiers who are the backbone, and has been inherited and carried forward here.
The Holguin Island at the foot is also located in the northern part of the Golden Sea and belongs to the occupied area of the Kingdom of Cyrus. It is very rich because it is rich in sugar and tobacco.
And because of being isolated overseas, the difficulty of plundering is much smaller than that of the towns inside the four vice-king districts.
Since the head of the White Knight delegated power, the pirate cadres gave full play to their subjective initiative and acted independently.
This is the location of action chosen by Alec, the captain of the "Wrestler" pirate ship, and his immediate subordinates.
At present, as the strength of the pirate group continues to grow, the internal competition is of course becoming more and more intense.
Everyone wants to be valued by the leader, the legendary great pirate White Knight, even if they don't know that their leader has been promoted to the third rank yet.
During this period, privateering activities at sea, led by the anti-Cilius alliance, intensified.
But the sea is too vast, and the colony of Sirius is too rich.
Even though countless aspiring young people have devoted themselves to this carnival of hunting Sirius, they have not felt that Sirius' merchant ships have decreased at all.
Because the sea route in this era is the golden river flowing with gold, no ship owner is willing to give up.
Even if the sea route is more risky than before due to the increase of pirates.
But take the slave trade with 600% profit as an example, plus the cost of ship personnel, etc., as long as one of the three ships can reach the destination safely, it will be a big profit for them.
Even if there is a small loss, they don't take it too seriously.
Of course, the strengthening of defense forces and the expansion of fleet size are obvious.
Although they were still no match for the "Dragon Cavalry Pirates", after several successful raids, the ambitious pirate captains were no longer satisfied with this.
Today Alec and his men chose to sack this rich town in order to fight for the top spot in the pirate cadres of the "Dragon Cavalry Pirates"!
"Send a signal and let the sentinel come out to respond."
stepping stepping stepping
Attracted by the infinite wealth, the excited pirates, like a torrent, rushed into the small town with only low walls with an unstoppable momentum.
"Haha, hand over all the treasures to me!"
"Uha! Come out and accept"
"Huh? Where are people?"
As if they were suddenly flashed, the pirates who rushed into the town howled, and were preparing to fight the militiamen guarding the town.
However, they found that the entrance of the town was empty, not even a guard in charge of guarding. Looking around, the entire main road in the center of the town was empty.
And after the signal was sent out, the sentry of one's own side who should have come out to respond was also completely gone.
"It's not right!"
Alec, who has been a pirate for half his life, not only did not have the excitement of the mouse entering the rice vat, but was instantly aroused by this unusual scene.
Look at this town again.
In the wet drizzle, the gas lamp hanging at the door cast a dim yellow light. The moss covering the corners of the walls is like weird mold spots, trying to swallow up the town bit by bit.
The town was pitch-black, with only a few tiny lights on in the buildings. Twinkling through the rain, like the mocking eyes of some monster.
Listening carefully, there was no sound except the sound of rain, as if the whole town had been deserted.
but.
It is impossible to make a pirate give up the riches he is about to acquire, and the slightest anomaly will not scare him.
Besides, even if Alec wanted to retreat, those subordinates with red eyes couldn't possibly agree.
If this group of guys knew how to restrain their desires in the first place, how could they have chosen the pirate business in the first place?
"Sparrow, do you think there is a problem?"
For such oddities, of course, ask a professional. Alec spread out his left hand, and asked the parasite that slowly opened its eyes.
"Well, from my perception, the people in the town are still there, but they seem to be asleep."
Sparrow, parasitic in Alec's left hand, does not have an independent body, but with his existing strength, he can be used as a half-official wizard.
There is still some credibility in his words, and Alec has let down his vigilance a little bit.
"Go! Search door to door. There is no bank here. They may have buried gold coins in the yard. Don't forget to find them."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Captain!"
"We have experience!"
Hearing the order, like hungry wolves smelling blood, the pirates rushed into the small town in a team of three.
And under the leadership of Alec, a group of more than a dozen armed elites went straight to the most gorgeous house in the center of the town, which obviously belonged to the mayor's house.
Bang——
Kicking open the courtyard door, a group of uninvited guests swarmed in like wolves and tigers.
Some went straight to the master bedroom of the house, which experienced robbers knew was the most likely place to hide the owner's property. Some went straight to the gardens, looking for gold coins that might have been buried in earthen jars.
but.
What made Alec feel even more strange was that even though his group made such a big commotion, the people in the house still didn't wake up.
Some are not at ease.
I personally pushed open the door of the bedroom on the second floor, and saw the bloated hostess lying on the bed. Obviously, the mayor's house had good food.
However, the mayor is not here.
boom boom boom
He knocked hard on the door, but there was still no movement.
Then I went up to check and found that the other party seemed to be haunted, even if I opened her eyelids, there was no sign of waking up.
Strange things happen in the New World from time to time, and this small town apparently encountered some abnormal event before their arrival, and now it has completely lost its ability to resist.
But it also happened to be cheap for them.
The other pirates in the town had obviously noticed this too, and no one could stop them, and many of them had already started violent demolitions.
Alec couldn't control that much anymore, and waved to his subordinates:
"Do it!"
In the room, there was a kick, clang and rummage immediately.
huh huh
Then bags of gold coins were found.
Alec didn't do anything himself, but reminded Sparrow to pay attention to the movement around him, and at the same time drew out the scimitar, cautiously guarding against possible accidents.
Because the root cause of the town's anomaly, whether it has left or not is still unknown.
Suddenly, in the rainy night.
"Wow woof"
"quack quack"
"Hoo hoo hoo"
The barking of a dog, the barking of a crow, or the roar of a storm in the sky suddenly reached the ears of everyone in the room.
Bang——
Alec, who was already vigilant, immediately opened the window and looked outside, with a faint flash of light in his eyes.
【Spiritual vision】
The unique vision given to him by Sparrow allowed Alec to easily see the scene outside the town through the night.
In the sugarcane forest outside the town, it seems that a group of condensed dark clouds descended, and it seemed that it was a condensed darkness.
On the edge of the town, a group of seven or eight guys in different costumes were staggering towards the sugarcane forest outside the town.
Among them are the well-dressed upper-class people in the town, as well as guards in militia uniforms, and the dragoon scouts who disappeared before.
However, their current bodies are slightly bulging compared to normal people.
In particular, there were three or five wrinkled sacs around the neck, the size of a human head, and a disgusting black-green aura emanated from his body.
"Hiss! This is"
Alec's eyes widened instantly.
Royal Colony East Lunchi, Port Raleigh.
Ivan was sitting in a cozy cafe made of spruce wood, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in one hand, and playing with a gold amulet inlaid with turquoise in the other.
This is what he got from the transaction with the Golden Sea Pirate King "Bone" Rudolph through the middleman "White Knight".
The price is the corpse of the third-order totem warrior and the ocean secret treasure "ghost cloak".
However, in Aiwen's view, this transaction is still a big profit.
It is said that some time ago in the Cordillera Mountains, some sea hunters discovered a complete temple of Inti, the sun god enshrined by the Kashna Empire, which contained countless treasures left over from the Kashna Empire period.
And "Dead Bones" Rudolph was also one of the participants in that incident.
Although the focus is mainly on the golden crown of the emperor of the Kashna Empire.
But in fact, this thing is actually the most precious, [Extraordinary Amulet - Eye of Inti], the surface is a gold amulet with a vertical eye inlaid with turquoise.
Legend has it that the descendants of the sun god have the ability to be reborn in the fire, and this amulet has similar abilities.
Effect: No matter what kind of damage the body receives, it will be reborn in the golden flame released by the amulet. And the soul is not the domain that Inti is in charge of, so it is invalid after being injured.
An ocean secret treasure plus the corpse of a Tier 3 powerhouse, in exchange for an extra life, is certainly worth it to Aiwen.
If these two things were not so attractive to "Dead Bones" Rudolph, he would not be able to trade this treasure.
After playing with it for a while, he put away the amulet, and Aiwen didn't forget about today's business.
at this time.
Outside the cafe, a handsome and suave Milan in aristocratic casual clothes was talking and laughing with an indigenous girl in a short leather armor, revealing a large area of wheat-colored delicate skin.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the relationship between them is unusual, and at least in terms of appearance, they are a very good match.
Aiwen couldn't help but took a sip of the coffee in his hand, glanced at Warrant Officer Roddy who was sitting next to him and was acting as a temporary attendant, and comforted himself with the spirit of Ah Q:
'The whole world is full of the sour smell of love, only our body exudes the fragrance of single dogs. '
