Pirate System

A few days later, Tang Ke got a clear picture of the situation in Twin Harbors by virtue of several low-key outings. He knew the strength of the enemy he was about to face, as well as the current actions of the enemy. He felt that he would be sorry for Alisa's anxious husband if he waited like this, so he decided to make a move. By means of letters, he directed the enemy to the unpredictable Dead Chess Islands.

In a small hotel in disrepair, in a lonely room in the corner of the corridor. The surrounding wooden walls are an uncomfortable iron-blue color, and the round tree scars on the walls are like gloomy eyeballs, deep and decayed. The curtains in the room were lowered to block out the sunlight, only a little light came in through the gaps, and the bright lines formed were like cutting by the blade. The breaths of the four men were mixed together in the closed environment.

They formed a circle, and the other three were watching Tang Ke, two ordinary pirates, and Red Locke, a fool.

Tang Ke was very solemn. He put a letter on the table. The letter paper was pale and stained with blood-red sealing mud.

"Lauren, the silver-handled knife," Tang Ke's eyes wandered on the faces of these two people, "I will hand over this letter to you. After three days, the two of you will find a way to send this letter to Kerwin's office." Castle, then leave here immediately and rush to Sooke Harbor, after which I will send a boat to pick you both up."

Lauren, a lean pirate, nodded without saying a word. Silver Handled Dao only had a nickname, and he patted his furry chest to promise to complete the task.

"For this task, what do you two plan to do?" Tang Ke tentatively asked, if the other party's answer did not satisfy him, he would replace it with someone else.

"That's not easy." Silver Handled Knife said confidently, "Hire someone outside to deliver the letter, and we will watch it secretly in the dark. After the letter is delivered, we will take a carriage to Souk Harbor. That's it. Come on, everything will be fine."

Lauren rolled his eyes at the silver-handled knife, and then added: "It's not that light. We have to ensure that the messenger is reliable, and it's best to choose a child to do this. We also have to try our best to hide our true colors, so as not to be turned into a portrait in the future It's sticky everywhere. You can't take a carriage when you run away, it's better to buy two horses beforehand."

Although the identity of the Dragon Pirates will definitely be revealed afterwards, it is better not to reveal the details before the meeting, so that the enemy will have a sense of fear in the valley.

Tang Ke nodded in satisfaction, Lauren's subordinate is more reassuring. He put two heavy brown leather bags on the table, and there was a beautiful sound of gold coins colliding inside. A heavy task will surely be rewarded with equal weight.

"These two bags of gold coins are yours, you must do this well." Tang Ke urged, his simple words carried the safety of the whole group.

"Sworn to the mission.

" Lauren solemnly promised.

"I'll rely entirely on you two." Tang Ke stood up, picked up the accompanying package, and left here with Red Locke.

The small room suddenly became much more spacious, and the remaining two could only wait boredly.

The pirates like Tang Ke couldn't wait until the day the letter was delivered before leaving by boat, because after Kerwin and Michael received the letter, they would probably immediately blockade the entire harbor and launch a large-scale search, which would be detrimental to the Serenade's travel. Therefore, Tang Ke could only leave two people responsible for delivering the letter, and he and most of the pirates had to leave in advance on the Serenade, so as to avoid risks.

On the same day, the Serenade bid farewell to the tense Twin Harbors, and sailed directly to the Dead Chess Islands, where countless ships had been buried. Although they were heading for a sea area full of dangers, Tang Ke was not afraid at all. His heart was filled with exciting emotions and he couldn't help himself. He is about to get the mermaid key, which will open the mysterious treasure chest of the devil. He concludes that the heart of the devil ship is a good thing, which will greatly strengthen the strength of the pirate group. His excitement was transmitted to every move, and he drove the small boat of the Serenade at a high speed, and every sail of various shapes was blown.

The two pirates, Lauren and Silver Knife, stayed in Twin Harbor and stayed low-key for two days. During this period, they only went out to buy two fast horses and got familiar with the way of riding them. Several times, the silver-handled knife was so angry that he almost killed the horse. After stumbling and riding for a long time, the two of them were finally able to ride the horse away.

On the third day, the two began to carry out the mission of delivering letters. They looked for candidates on the side of the road, and finally chose a clever little boy who sold newspapers. They both wore wide-brimmed hats, keeping their faces in the shadows and pulling their collars up. They claimed to introduce the little boy to a post delivery job, and showed the errand fee that was enough to make the little boy jealous. The little boy took up the job boldly. Before the little boy went out to fight, the silver-handled knife frightened the little boy a few words, and described the fate of the little boy who failed to deliver the letter as the worst nightmare.

The little boy delivered the letter to Kerwin's castle as he was told. He didn't understand the reason, but the very textured silver coins in his pocket gave him courage.

Lauren and the silver-handled knife were following the little boy in secret. As they approached the castle, the pedestrians became sparse. The two of them led the horse and sneaked into the forest. They hid in the distance, lurking in the grass, while their horses were tied to trees deep in the woods. They witnessed the little boy handing the letter to the guard, and then heaved a sigh of relief, moved his body slowly, and after being far away from the castle, turned and ran wildly.

The two pirates found their horses, and without looking back, they went straight to Sooke Harbor and left without a trace.

...

In the resplendent living room, all kinds of gold and silver wares shine together, and the light in the room is enough to make ordinary people dizzy. In the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror, there are several luxuriously dressed figures reflected, two of them are the handsome and extraordinary Michael. And the decadent Kerwin.

Michael frowned, holding a letter in his hand, he scanned the content with falcon-like eyes, and carefully read it twice. The contents of the letter made him happy and sad. He was happy that his sister and nephew finally got news, but worried that the sender was an anonymous pirate. There are two pieces of letter paper in the envelope, one is my sister's handwriting, which is absolutely correct from the handwriting. The other is a blackmail letter written by a pirate, with a handwriting as sharp as a sword's edge.

On such and such a day, the captain of such and such a pirate.

Mother Alisa and her son are in our hands. If you want to redeem them, please take the genuine skeleton gold coin and the mermaid key, and drive an ordinary boat to the dead chess before Brumaire 20th. Islands, where we will exchange what we need. I hope we have a good time with this transaction, and I will punish anyone who breaks the rules of the transaction as crazy as possible.

Mr. Kelly and Mr. Hahn (Kelly is Kerwin's surname).

Michael's burning eyes seemed to pierce the letter paper. He thought for a moment. The pirate's blackmail letter was very short, which proved that the writer was a neat person. It didn't mention which pirate did it, so he couldn't figure out what the other party was doing. details. Pirates are a group of murderous thugs. My sister and nephew are in the hands of pirates, and they are in a very dangerous situation. The pirates are asking for two kinds of treasures. Although they are both precious, they have strange uses. The pirates may have a deeper purpose. The pirates did not ask for gold coins, so it seems that they are not short of money. Since they are not short of money, it proves that these guys are not small, and they should be a large pirate group.

Kerwin resisted not to poke his head over, resting his hands restlessly on both sides, urging Michael in a low voice to read the letter quickly.

Michael closed the letter, and was not in a hurry to hand it to Kerwin. He asked, "Do you have a skeleton gold coin and a mermaid key?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Kerwin blurted out.

"How many people know that you own these two treasures?"

"Only a few people know, such as a few of my friends."

"Does my sister know?"

"of course I know."

Michael nodded, and then passed the letter in his hand. "Look at it. The pirates are blackmailing you for these two treasures. Only in this way will my sister and my nephew be released."

"What?" Kerwin recalled it now, no wonder Michael asked himself if he knew these two treasures, "Damn pirates, you actually coveted my treasures. Ah, I see, it must be the bitch Alisa ..." He caught a glimpse of Michael's unfriendly expression, and swallowed the swear words, "She must have leaked my treasure to the pirates."

"Okay, shut up. These two scraps of metal are worthless compared to the lives of my sister and nephew. Let's study how to deal with pirates first. It seems that those fortune tellers are right, sister and the others They should still be alive, we have to find a way to rescue their mother and child intact. You should know what kind of guys pirates are, they will do anything to get what they want, my sister and little Jim are very dangerous." Michael dominated the development of the situation, trying to draw the brother-in-law's attention to more important things.

"Okay. How do you say?" Kerwin said angrily, obviously still angry at the fact that the treasure was about to leave his hands.

"We have to act fast, every second counts, and many things have to be done at the same time. The sender must be controlled and interrogated strictly, but I guess the sender must also be hired by the pirates, and may not be directly related to the pirates. Try to get the messenger to describe what the pirate looks like."

"The messenger was a child," Kerwin put in.

"That further confirms what I said. They randomly found a child to deliver the letter." Michael's head was burning like a magic furnace, thinking about various issues, "You go and order the entire city to be blocked, including the post road and the wharf. And ask the guards to search everywhere, especially on the road leading to the castle to interrogate and look for clues. If you encounter someone who looks like a pirate, you must not let it go. I also sent people to check the records of ships entering and leaving the nearest dock. Pirates Possibly docked in his own boat."

"Yes, these are very important." Kerwin glanced at the letter again, and became more nervous, "There is another problem, the date set by the pirates is very tight. Even the Clippers must immediately Set sail, otherwise it is impossible to arrive at the Dead Chess Islands within the stipulated time. Damn it, he only allows us to take an ordinary boat.”

"It's impossible for me to do what he said. If I really drive an ordinary fast boat to a place like the Dead Chess Islands, what's the difference from sending it to death?" Michael's sharp eyes widened, "I will drive my men The strongest magic ship went to trade, and surrounded the Dead Chess Islands with a large-scale fleet. Look carefully, the pirate said, "Rush to the Dead Chess Islands before the 20th of Brumaire." Judging from this tone, The pirate will definitely wait there. As long as I replace my sister and nephew, the pirate will die soon."

"The magic boat you are talking about is..."

"That's right, it's the undefeated Li Angel."
