Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Aqua, who finally reacted, raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a very evil smile.

After some tossing, Wiz turned almost transparent and told everything she knew.

Including things like being a cadre of the Demon King's Army and the new Demon King Lin Zhi being a bit perverted.

However, because they had only been in contact for a short time, she didn't know Lin Zhi's specific plan and purpose.

Aqua knew this very well. Seeing that the lich Wiz was quite honest, she didn't really save him under Brook's persuasion.

Of course, the main reason is that Wiz has not done anything bad to harm humans, and is the only cadre in the Demon King's army who has not had a bounty on his head.

Surpassing is not worth it!

"Hmph, you'd better be careful for me, the goddess. If you dare to talk nonsense again, your shop will be burned down!"

The bully and idiot goddess clapped her hands and left Wiz with a stern warning before leaving the prop shop with Brooke and Darkness.

"How do these super weird guys know Master Lin Zhi? I have to ask him later."

Weiss squatted in the corner, looking at Aqua's back with lingering fear, "Also, is she really the goddess of water? It would be too scary..."

She suddenly felt that her idea just now was terribly stupid. This guy who looked normal on the surface was the one who should not be contacted!

On the other side, Darkness was walking on the street again, becoming a little more normal.

"Um, what kind of person is the Lin Zhi you just talked about? Is he also a companion?" She asked tentatively.

The new Demon King and so on, I feel like I heard something super weird out of nowhere!

"A worthy captain."

"You are the most loyal believer of this goddess!"

From the completely different answers, it is not difficult to see that Lin Zhi has completely different status in the hearts of Brooke and Aqua.

"Captain? Believer? Not the Demon King?" Darkness was a little confused.

"That's right. After all, the purpose of our coming here is to beat that bastard hard!" Aqua said without thinking.

Fortunately, she met Darkness. If she was someone with ulterior motives, she would have been stupidly counting money for others after being sold...

"Pain, pain, pain, pain, flatness? In other words, in the future, we will fight against the Demon King's City, and then be imprisoned because of the disparity in strength. Not only will we have to endure being insulted and ridiculed by the demons, but we may also be subjected to various unimaginable tortures? Humph? Chi hum chi, maybe, maybe..."

As she spoke, Darkness suddenly gasped with excitement and began to have her strange and rich thoughts again.

It's such a shame that she has a beautiful face and a figure that makes people prone to crime.

Aqua's left ear went in and out of the right ear, and Brooke, who was ashamed, quietly slowed down and kept a safe distance of ten meters from Darkness.

In the end, Aqua still failed to buy the wine.

She took a fancy to a uniquely shaped egg and threatened to hatch it into a dragon as cute as Kang Na.

——The last egg that was buried in the soil with such "gentle" treatment has long since nourished a grave grass that is half a meter small.

Not being able to have a pet of her own was a small regret lingering in Aqua's heart.

When we returned to the hotel to join Miaomiao and the others, it was already dusk as the sun set.

After a simple greeting, everyone hit it off immediately and spent all their remaining money on a very luxurious and expensive hot spring bath to soothe their body and mind after many days of hard work.

Although the hotel has only been rented for one day and one night, they are very confident.

After all, with giant frogs like Scratch and Darkness, it’s not easy to make money!

They just enjoy the hot springs and let the giant frog do the rest.

With this comfort, everyone lay on their own soft beds and had a sweet dream comfortably.

Time quickly came to the next day.

"What the hell? You said the commission to capture the giant frog is gone?!!"

The shrill and harsh voice of the idiot goddess resounded throughout the entire Adventurer's Guild.

"Yes, there should be no way to continue this commission in a short time."

At the front desk, the blonde elder sister Luna looked at the people with astonished faces and explained in a polite and apologetic tone:

"Yesterday there was an inexplicable and terrifying explosion in the suburbs. Most of the giant frogs' nests were destroyed. Those who survived by chance hid deep in the nests and did not dare to go out."

"So, there is no way to open this commission for the time being. If you are not in a hurry, it should be fine if you come back tomorrow spring."

Luna smiled and gave advice very thoughtfully.

"Next spring..."

Such bad news plunged Miaomiao and others, who were immersed in wealth and freedom, into despair.

If we really had to wait until that time, Lin Zhi would have already led the Demon King's army to flatten this town! !

"Which bastard did this! How dare you cut off this goddess's wealth!!"

Aqua broke through the defense in an instant and grabbed Luna's collar tightly, wanting to tear the instigator into pieces.

"I'm sorry, everyone, if I guess correctly, it was me, the bastard, who did it..."

Escanor scratched his head in embarrassment and took the initiative to express his apology.

Now that he is in a period of arrogance, he will naturally not allow himself to conceal the truth.

"Ah?!"

The friends who didn't know why were shocked: I didn't expect you to be like this Escanor!

Aqua's mouth twitched crazily, looking at Escano's apologetic smile, she finally chose to forgive.

"Well, Kangna is also responsible for this."

The well-behaved Kangna then stood up and admitted, "It was because of me playing games with Escanor that this situation happened."

Everyone: "..."

play games?

Luna, who knew nothing about Kang Na's strength, covered her mouth with her hands, showing an expression of disbelief.

The adventurers who were watching the melon eating were so shocked that all the drinks in their mouths spat out.

In the words of this little girl, the devastated and chaotic scene in the suburbs was just playing a game? !

The entire atmosphere of the Adventurer's Guild suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.

"Hahaha! I'm really sorry."

Escanor broke the silence with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, leave the money problem to me."

This deceptive feeling made him very uncomfortable with the reputation of arrogance, and he decided to take some action no matter what.

"It's okay Escanor, and Kangna, it's not your fault." Aqua waved her hand.

Even though there were constant thoughts of grass and mud horses galloping past in her heart, she still showed an indifferent attitude.

If Lin Zhi were present, he would definitely lament like an old father: That selfish goddess who is famous for being a pit, actually thinks about her partners. It seems that the adventure in the world of pirates has grown up to a certain extent...

The stupid goddess who acted very generous just a moment ago became murderous the next second.

"Bastard Lin Zhi! His grandma actually did such a despicable thing. When we meet, this goddess will definitely give him some color!"

At this time, of course, we need to be consistent with the outside world and direct our conflicts against the treacherous Thunderbolt bastard~

The old father, who was doing secret exercises in the Demon King's Castle, sneezed inexplicably.

In any case, the giant frog's plan to make a fortune is completely over.

Under Luna's suggestion, everyone had no choice but to focus on other commissions.

Although Escanor wanted to take the responsibility alone, they were a team, so how could they sit back and enjoy the results?

The new member Darkness was deeply moved by this atmosphere that was not family but better than family.

Affected by the big explosion in the suburbs, many nearby monster-killing commissions were interrupted.

In the end, everyone chose a commission to escort the caravan - although it was a bit of a waste of time, it was better than being kicked out of the hotel and back to the annoying stables!

However, just when they simply packed up their things and prepared to go out to meet their client at the agreed place.

A man wearing a black and white mask took the initiative to find the hotel.

Barnier's purpose is very simple, that is, he has taken a fancy to the giant frog.

Or to be more precise, they are interested in Miaomiao's powerful creativity that does not belong to this world, and want to achieve in-depth cooperation and make money together.

"Who do you think I am? My inventions are not meant to be used in boring places like this, meow!"

Miaomiao, who was very professional and ethical, decisively rejected Barnier's proposal.

He didn't know the stranger in front of him at all, so how could he sell his skills casually.

"Here is one million Eris coins as a sign of my sincerity. If you agree, this will be the advance payment for cooperation."

Barnier smiled and placed the box full of gold coins in front of everyone.

Such a number makes people who have suffered from poverty in time-travel look straight.

Aqua even picked up her fingers and calculated how many giant frogs she would need to catch for the money, and how many boxes of sparkling wine she could get in exchange.

And this is just an advance payment!

Many eyes with expectation and desire fell on Meow Meow.

However, Meow Meow didn't seem to be shaken at all, with a serious expression.

"Science and technology, but my dignity and bottom line, meow..."

"That's really a pity. If you change your mind, come to me at the women's clothing store on West Street."

Barnier closed the cash box and prepared to get up and leave.

"You have to pay more, meow."

Barnier's steps immediately stopped and he turned back to look at the serious pet cat.

Rao is a well-informed cadre of the Demon King's Army, but he was caught off guard by the opponent's flexible bottom line.

"No problem, you can add another five hundred thousand."

"Deal meow."

After a few seconds to calm down his complicated mood, Barnier walked back, put down the cash box in his hand, bent slightly and extended his right palm towards Miaomiao: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation, meow~"

In this way, the cooperation with Barnier was officially finalized.

However, the specific details of the cooperation, such as what to produce, what channels to sell through, revenue sharing, etc., can only be finalized after careful and detailed discussions.

Barnier also wanted to see if Meowth could really invent something new that would make a lot of money.

This obviously takes a lot of time.

The next commission was obtained with Miss Luna's help, and I really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

After everyone's deliberation, they finally decided to split up.

Escanor, Kangna, Uta and the local Darkness are carrying out the commission of escorting the caravan as normal;

Meowth, Brooke, King and Aqua stayed in Axel City.

After careful study, it is not difficult to find that this allocation is quite scientific. Both sides have strong enough combat power to ensure that there will be no accidents.

At the same time, those who need to make up for their physical defects can also exercise during the commissioning, so as not to waste extra time.

Especially leaving behind the idiot goddess who just makes the commission more difficult is a stroke of genius!

The plan was watertight—in theory.

Escanor and the other four never thought that even though they deliberately avoided Aqua, the water goddess' harassment still lingered.

Because by coincidence, the business destination was the headquarters of Axis Cult believers!

…

On the outskirts of Demon King City, there is a dark and humid mountain forest.

Lin Zhi, who came here for secret practice, was sweating profusely and found a smooth rock to sit down.

There was a mess behind him, and at the end of the piles of dead trees and broken branches, there were hills and cliffs made of piles of dark stone and soil, showing a huge and ferocious gap.

Along with the remaining red arc jumping, rubble continued to roll down from above.

"Although I can barely achieve it, there is still a long way to go before I can do whatever I want..."

Lin Zhi raised his hand to wipe away the large beads of sweat on his forehead, and took a deep breath.

While Aqua and others were busy, he was naturally not idle.

In addition to interacting with the demon lichs who stayed in the Demon King's City, they hid in the deep mountains and forests all day long, practicing the advanced use of Overlord Color's domineering power - Overlord Color Coil!

In line with Escanor's thoughts, he wants to completely master this top power in the pirate world during his time in Suqing's world!

Combined with the rich experience accumulated from fighting against Big Mom, Hawkeye, Warring States and others, Lin Zhi successfully reached the threshold of domination after countless attempts.

It's just that the probability of hitting it perfectly is not high, only a 30% success rate.

"The Headless Horseman and Barnier sent out deliberately must have caused trouble to Aqua and the others to some extent, right?"

"I don't know what changes will happen to the Pirate World after we leave. Although the World Government, which has been severely weakened in a short period of time, will probably not be able to make much movement, Hancock and Mogliarelli will have to bear the burden. The pressure is certainly not small.”

"Going back one day later will be even more dangerous. You still have to seize the time to practice and end this adventure in the Suqing world as soon as possible..."

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi stood up again with his hands on his knees, dragging his tired body and walked towards the dark forest.

He made a decision in his mind that as long as he successfully mastered the Overlord Color Coil, he would launch a full-scale attack on Aqua and the others.

Summon a new partner as quickly as possible, then return to the pirate world and kill him, leaving the world government and the Celestial Dragons alone!

Dark red thunder and roaring explosions once again echoed through this remote and desolate area.
