Pirate System
Chapter 185: Trading at Sea
The observation deck of Cangtian has never been so crowded. There are five watchmen standing in the small circular space. Their arms are already sore and swollen, but they still have to hold heavy telescopes to monitor the different places. Direction of wind blowing fluctuations. One of the pirates stared at the huge vortex for half an hour. The vortex just stopped there and rotated quietly. The situation of the rest of the watchmen was not much better. The scene in their eyes was unchanging. There was no big movement on the sea or the island, but there were wild animals on the island occasionally, and there were flying fish performances in the sea. jumped out.
The work of the watchman is boring, but none of these five people dare to neglect, because this is an important task assigned by the regiment leader, and it is related to the lives of the whole regiment. To beat the boring time, the five pirates took turns telling stories.
"Then the adventurer found it with his compass..." The story of a lookout came to an abrupt end.
"Hey, why don't you say it?" the others urged.
"Fuck the fuck, I saw a ship coming." The watchman's voice suddenly rose.
"What? Look carefully, is it a collection ship or a navy ship?"
The lookout fell silent, and after careful identification, even with a high-magnification telescope, the opponent's ship is now just a shadow the size of a grain of rice. He waited for a while, and the ship in his sight gradually enlarged. At first, he could only see the color clearly. This ship was intertwined with gold and white. White represented nobility, and gold represented imperial power. It was undoubtedly a ship of the Imperial Navy. The collection ship will not be dressed up like this, and it can't be dressed up. As time went by, the appearance of this ship became more and more clear. In front of her was a ship statue of a female angel. The sides of the ship were shining with golden light, and the bright red symbol of the Dragon Tooth Kingdom was printed on the huge horizontal sail. What puzzled the watchman was that a white light was erupting from the stern of the ship, and it was the white light that propelled the ship to a fast speed.
The other four watchmen held their breaths and waited for the answer.
"It's the Navy that's here, and our waiting guest has finally arrived," the lookout shouted loudly, and the news spread like wildfire in spring, spreading everywhere in no time.
Tang Ke was taking a nap. He heard the news in a dead dream. He shuddered and jumped up from the bed. Like a conditioned reflex, he went straight to the weapon rack, took down the sword, and kicked open the door , rushed out. He squinted his eyes against the discomfort of the bright light outside—it was a piercingly sunny day.
"Captain, those dog bastards from the navy are here. I heard from the watchman that the navy's ship is very unusual. It may be a magic ship." The sailors on the deck rushed to report what they knew and heard, but what they said are roughly the same.
Tang Ke took a deep breath, his mind became clearer, and the discomfort caused by waking up was slightly relieved. He looked towards the sea, feeling the menacing momentum from the navy,
Quickly said: "Hold your swords tightly, load the bullets and cannons, light the magic furnace quickly, and go to some people to bring Alisa mother and child, but don't be rough, she will be obedient. Also, let the standard bearer Immediately take your place and display the flag for negotiation. We will negotiate with the navy later, remember to me, how much they stare at you, you just stare back at me, and you must not show weakness”
The pirates screamed excitedly and scattered in all directions. Even the cooks on the ship raised their weapons. Everyone followed the command of the captain and brought Alisa and her son to the deck.
Alisa was very calm, her gold was shining in the sun, and there was hope in her eyes. She held the child's hand tightly, and when she found her son surrounded by a group of pirates, she shut up instead of crying. She thought children might only dare to cry in front of their parents.
Tang Ke glanced at Alisa, quickly withdrew his eyes, and cast them on the sea again. He looked solemn, guessing that the person who came must be Michael, this is an opponent that should not be underestimated.
There are still several important sailors on this ship, such as Red Locke, Hualu, Cliff, and Cross Scar. They have all come to the upper deck to accompany Tang Ke, the backbone.
One-eyed is not there, nor are Wendy, Norman, Lu Ban, and Iona. They are either on the Purgatory that has not yet returned, or they are in the fleet. Even if they are not here, the hearts of everyone in the Dragon Pirates are closely connected, breathing together, and sharing the same fate. Taking a step back, Tang Ke's work is going well, and everyone will have more and more gold coins in their pockets.
The navy ship is getting closer and closer, and Tang Ke can see clearly through the binoculars on the deck. He recognized the identity of the ship, which is not difficult. The horse is saddled. In order to verify his guess and find out the details of the enemy, he used investigative techniques.

Tang Ke's investigation skills are already at the full level, but the investigation results of the magic ship still lack the two items of [Magic Machinery] and [Magic Stone Reserve]. As for some ordinary data, they are not so detailed.
"It really is this ship." Tang Ke muttered in a low voice, and turned off the system interface. His mood was as difficult to calm down as a waving flag. nervous about the exchange.
Michael, the youngest naval captain of Longya Kingdom, is known as one of the Three Heroes. The Li Angel, since it was built and launched into the sea, has never had a defeat. Whenever this ship destroys an enemy ship, it sticks a national emblem on the ship to show its achievements. Now the national emblem on the ship has been connected in a row. , there are more than thirty
The pirates are in a mess, in contrast, the navy is much more relaxed. On the Li Angel, the sailors were in full battle, and a row of gunmen hid behind the guardrail, with their flintlocks on it, ready to shoot at any time. The cannon door was completely opened, and the magic weapon was pushed outside. Through the open gap, the serious face of the sailor behind could be seen.
Michael stood on the boat, and at his feet was the statue of a female angel standing upright. The sea breeze was blowing the corner of his pure white clothes, which seemed a little restless. He put down the binoculars, feeling indignant in his heart. He never expected that the identity of the pirates turned out to be the Dragon Pirates. He saw the details of the Cang Tian ship, and naturally deduced that the Dragon Pirates were behind it.
If it was another pirate group, Michael could fight with force after rescuing his sister, let the other party suffer the consequences, knowing how powerful the navy is. But this can't be done now, because the Dragon Pirates have a heavy relationship with Jinbeard. If the Cangtian is sunk, it will bring Jinbeard's revenge.
Michael is not afraid of the golden beard, but the problem is that now is not the time to start a war with the golden beard, and the power of the Dragon Tooth Kingdom is not enough to set off a huge wave that overturns the sea of gems. Right now, I can only endure it, this is just a small humiliation, and there will be a chance to pay it back in the future.
"Let's write down this account first, and the future will last forever. One day, my fists will be thirsty for the dirty blood of you bastards." Michael said angrily, and then ordered to the adjutant beside him, "Go and get the painters on board. Call here, and draw a portrait of the pirate Tonk later."
The Li Angel continued to move forward, stepping on the swift and fierce steps, crushing the dark blue sea surface, splashing waves of white waves. The distance between the two ships was shortening, and after some negotiations, the two sides finally decided to exchange hostages without hassle with a small boat. The light wave cannon of the Angel of Power has an effective range of nearly 400 yards, which is farther than that of the spitting frog, so the pirates have an advantage when exchanging hostages at close range, and they don't have to worry about being passively beaten.
The Angel of Strength arrived in a noble and powerful figure, and stopped side by side with the much shorter Cangtian, and the bulwark extended from a high place, and landed on the deck of the Cangtian. The sailors and pirates looked at each other, always on guard, with their black muzzles aimed at each other's heads. Similarly, Michael is also condescendingly looking at Tang Ke, his eyes are calm, so calm that it is scary, this situation makes Tang Ke very uncomfortable.
"Colonel Michael, good afternoon, why don't you come down and talk? I look up at you like this, and my neck is a little sore." Tang Ke took the lead to break the deadlock.
A distance from the bulwark is dispensable to Tang Ke or Michael.
Michael took steady steps and approached step by step. He didn't show any excess anger, but just glanced at Alisa mother and child from the corner of his eye.
Afterwards, the two stood facing each other, invisibly smelling of gunpowder.
With a warm smile on Tang Ke's face, he was calm and composed. He guessed that Michael's calmness was faked, because an invisible murderous intent was seeping through, and he couldn't hide it.
"I remember that I stated in the letter that you are not allowed to come here on a magic ship." Tang Ke took a close look at the Angel, and had to admit that this ship was much better than the Cangtian.
"Unfortunately, it is impossible for ordinary boats to arrive on time. In order to avoid delays, I can only come with a magic boat. I hope that Captain Tang Ke will forgive you." Michael said calmly against his will. He remembered Tang Ke's picture. face off. On the other hand, on the big ship behind him, the painter is also painting the portrait of Tang Ke in the enclave.
"I didn't expect you to know my identity."
"Knowing every notorious pirate is a compulsory course for a naval captain."
"If you know me, the matter will be easy to handle. I simply opened up with you, you take the two people away, leave the treasure to me, and then we will say goodbye, it's that simple. To show sincerity, and to For your small punishment for not obeying the rules, one of you must hand over the treasure first, and then I can return the person to you."
"No problem." Michael nodded, and two energetic sailors came down from the Li Angel, holding two exquisite brocade boxes respectively.
Tang Ke glanced at the brocade box, and his pupils couldn't help but dilate a little.
At this moment, Jim couldn't help shouting at Michael who was not far away: "Uncle, take me home!"
Michael looked back and comforted: "Good boy. It will be fine soon."
Alisa patted the shoulder of the child beside her, said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, and then reminded her younger brother: "Michael, keep Jim safe and don't act rashly, okay? Treat yourself as an uncle, not a captain of the navy .”
"Of course, I will." Michael agreed, he obviously understood his sister's hint, then stared at Tang Ke who was close in front of him, "I will not use force, and I don't think you will either."
"Yes, neither will I. I like this 'quiet' transaction." Tang Ke looked at Michael with a smile.
"That's good."
Two sailors approached and opened the brocade box at the same time. Inside were the skeleton gold coins and the mermaid key. One of them said, "Everything you want is inside, please have a look."
Tang Ke's heart was beating wildly, mainly because he was delighted by the mermaid key. He tried his best to calm down and picked up the skull gold coin that was more like an add-on. This gold coin was in good condition, with a lifelike skull engraved on the front , and the reverse side is a complicated pattern. He blew on the gold coin, put it to his ear and listened, and the gold coin responded with a rustling sound.
"Fifteen people lying in the dead man's box - yo ho ho, come have a bottle of rum"
Tang Ke nodded secretly, being able to produce this echo proves that the gold coin is genuine. He put the gold coin into his pocket, then picked up the mermaid key, and put it under the sun to examine it carefully. This key is light, almost weightless, and the whole body is crystal clear like jade. It looks like a small stick, and there is no key on it. The sawtooth it should have. For the mermaid key, he has no good way to identify it, and can only rely on the system to identify it.
Mermaid Key:
Level: Legendary item.
Type: Consumables, Valuables.
Description: A key made of mermaid bones. The manufacturing method has been lost, and there are only a few left in the world. This key can automatically change its shape, and has the strange power to unlock the hidden mechanism of the lock. It can only be used once, and then it will turn into a key. The foam disappears. This is a dreamlike item.
Effect: Open any lock.
How to use: Insert into keyhole, then twist.
Number of uses remaining: 1.
Tang Ke held the key tightly, as if if he loosened it a little bit, the key would disappear. Michael stared at Tang Ke's movements at this moment, thoughtfully. Tang Ke stuffed the key into the deepest part of his pocket and said with a satisfied smile, "Very well, you didn't tamper with these two things."
"Compared to my sister's safety, these two treasures are no different from broken copper and iron, so why bother?" Michael said.
"This is really a wise choice. Then, our transaction should proceed to the second step. My idea is to return your nephew to you first. After all, the child is timid, and our group is so scary. "
Michael's gaze sharpened suddenly, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?"
"No, I haven't regretted it. It's just that your sister will return it to you later. Once I escape to a safe place, I will put her on the boat, and then you can be reunited."
"Is that necessary? Tonk, are you so timid?" Michael shook his head mockingly, "Don't worry. I think you have accomplices elsewhere. If I bury you at sea, they will see you for a long time If you don't return, you will definitely release the news. If the golden beard asks me to settle accounts, I will be very troublesome. Obviously, these two things are not worth causing such trouble. You can directly contact my sister and nephew. Let it go. I, Michael, can be regarded as the number one person anyway, since I said I would not shoot you, I will definitely not go back on my word.”
"Okay." Tang Ke shouted, "You've already squeezed me into this position. If I'm still trembling, I'll look too cowardly. Come here, let the hostages go."
Michael withdrew his contemptuous gaze and focused more on Alisa mother and son. The pirates had let go of their hands, and Alisa and her son were free, and quickly walked towards the gangway.
Tang Ke watched Alyssa pass by in front of his eyes, and the shadow left by a ray of gold gradually faded away. He couldn't help but whispered: "Alyssa, goodbye."
Alisa paused, but didn't look back, then quickened her pace and boarded the bulwarks. Michael noticed the small movements of the two, and frowned inadvertently.
The pirates got the treasure, the navy rescued the hostages, and the transaction was successfully completed. At this moment, both parties had no worries, and the tense atmosphere escalated instead.
Michael turned around sarcasticly, not minding showing his resolute back to the pirates, and he said: "Tang Ke, we will meet again. I hope that the next time we meet, we will be as happy as this time." That's what he said, but there was no friendly meaning in his tone.
Tang Ke smiled indifferently. He knew that the next time they met again, they would never be "happy" like this again. Next time, they would become tit-for-tat enemies.
"I will look forward to seeing you next time," Tang Ke shouted not to be outdone.
Michael didn't respond extra. After he returned to the Li Angel, the board was quickly withdrawn. The huge sail of the Li Angel fell down, like a white eagle spreading its wings, the hull slid with the wind, and the two ships were staggered by a certain distance. The Li Angel then activated the propulsion device at the stern, and a white light shot out from a muzzle-shaped thing, and the speed was greatly accelerated.
The pirates still didn't dare to relax, they all stared at the solitary figure of the Li Angel going away, clutching their weapons tightly. Tang Ke was too lazy to look at the Angel of Angels, and while walking towards the bridge, he took out the Mermaid Key, which he had been fascinated for a long time, and played with it. He thought this key was very pleasing to the eye. The material looks like jade.
Tang Ke was in a very good mood. He believed that Michael would not be difficult again, and this transaction had been successfully completed. He hummed a ditty and his steps seemed to be dancing. The Angel of Strength was getting farther and farther away, and even the hands of other pirates holding their weapons began to loosen. Some bold ones had already lifted their guards, and some people started chatting, or went to the captain's side to see the Mermaid Key. Feel like.
Everyone's tense nerves began to relax, but at this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded, which tensed everyone's nerves again.
"A strange thing happened to the head at six o'clock, and the water on the sea suddenly turned black." The voice of the watchman came from a high place.
The smile on Tang Ke's face froze. Holding the key, he looked up and wondered, "It's turned black? What do you mean?"
The word "turned black" was repeated one after another in the pirate's mouth.
"If I had to guess, could it be that the black vortex appeared?" The watchman replied hesitantly.
The pirates suddenly quieted down, showing expressions like they were facing a big enemy. This posture was more nervous than when they faced the navy just now.
Tang Ke put away the keys, quickly returned to the ship's side, and shouted: "Give me the telescope!" He looked at the sea, and it didn't take long for someone to hand over the telescope. He hurriedly lifted it up, and soon found the telescope. The sea surface mentioned by the hand is indeed dark, and the situation is very rapid, and the area is gradually expanding. What makes him even more horrified is that the black sea surface began to descend and slowly rotate. He was sure that it was a black vortex, but the way the black vortex appeared was beyond his expectation. It turned out that the black vortex didn't just move step by step, it could also appear out of thin air
The Navy's ship also found this abnormality, made a sharp turn, returned in embarrassment, and rushed to the position of Cang Tian again.
"Damn it, we have to run away immediately and jump over the vortex behind us, so as not to be swallowed by the black vortex," Tang Ke shouted anxiously.
