Pirate System

The pirates on the Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief, looking back at the wonderful scene behind them, they all sighed, and some of them collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. The Cangtian left the roaring black vortex behind, and the palpitating roar gradually became smaller. The pirates survived the catastrophe, and soon forgot the fear just now, and burst into cheers.

Tang Ke showed a relaxed smile, chatted with the pirates, and then cast his eyes on the front, and the Li Angel was also sailing straight ahead. After Tang Ke experienced this crisis, he deeply remembered the magic essential oil, and decided that he must always keep it on board in the future. He had never heard of magic essential oils before, which proved that magic essential oils were relatively scarce. Fortunately, the system had also activated the exchange of magic essential oils, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to get them.

The hostage exchange ended successfully, and the navy and the pirates have since gone their separate ways, heading in different directions.

"Okay, my little ones, the navy has already left with their tails between their legs, and the black whirlpool has become a wild dog that can only bark. Tell me, what reason do you have to be lazy here? Why don't you hurry up and give it to me?" I'll give you ten minutes to do the work, and after ten minutes, I'll see an orderly deck." Standing on the bridge, Tang Ke yelled at a group of smirking pirates, and the expressions of the pirates changed from smirking to In order to stay, he had no choice but to pick up a scattered pistol from the ground, and fired a shot at the sky rudely, "Now, start working."

The sound of gunfire was like a wake-up call, and the pirates came to their senses, put the miscellaneous things behind them, and started to tidy up the deck.

Seeing how busy the pirates were, Tang Ke felt very satisfied. He stuffed his pistol into his waist, remembered something, and shouted again: "The guys who read the "Holy Words" there just now, you don't need to clean up the deck. Let's all go and read the condolences to the brothers who lost just now. They have taken a step ahead, but don't feel lonely and sad. One day, we will still be together"

Several people stood at the stern of the ship as promised and began to recite solemn condolences.

A crumpled wide-brimmed hat was thrown over the sea in honor of the dead, and the hat floated in the direction of the whirlpool.

In this way, Cang Tian braved the wind and waves, sailed to the previously agreed assembly point, which was on the route to Little Pirate City, where all the other ships in the pirate group were parked except Purgatory and Lucky Star. Purgatory has not yet returned to its voyage, and is docking at Sooke Port. On the one hand, it needs to exchange some other hostages with the local government, and on the other hand, it has to wait for the two brothers sent by Tang Ke to board the ship. Since the Purgatory can't finish these things in a short time, the Cangtian and the fleet will go to the Little Pirate City first.

On the night when he got the mermaid key, Tang Ke unconsciously grabbed the key and came to the storage room as if possessed. He was carrying a glass lamp, and the soft light filled the entire room, except that it couldn't illuminate the dark as ink demon treasure chest on the table. Tang Ke felt that the pattern on the devil's treasure chest was like a pair of eyes. He looked at these eyes, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and then he had an urge to twist the box open.

The heart of the magic ship.

He seemed to feel the beating of the heart of the magic ship, which was a beating full of power.

He walked up to the devil's treasure chest and handed over the key in his hand. Behind the dark keyhole seemed to be connected to another world. His throat was dry, and his heart was full of anticipation, the end of the mermaid key was warmed by his hands. The key in his hand was about to be inserted, but at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind, a warning that had been separated for a long time.

"Don't think about things too idealistically. Devil's things are full of danger."

This sentence was said by an elf appraiser.

Tang Ke's willpower overcame his impulse, and he took the key away abruptly. He regained his sanity and thought about the deeper consequences. There are still many words on the devil's treasure chest that have not been unlocked, and there may be hidden murderous intentions inside. It is very dangerous to rashly open the devil's treasure chest. He dispelled the extra thoughts, turned around and left the storage room, he comforted himself, anyway, the new Black Pearl hadn't been manufactured yet, even opening the devil's treasure chest in advance would be useless.

In the days that followed, Cangtian sailed to the agreed latitude and longitude, and when it reached the sea area, the lookout saw a few wisps of signal smoke, which allowed it to merge with several other ships smoothly. After seeing the figure of the Cangtian, the people on several other ships cheered loudly, and the pirates boarded the deck of the Cangtian one after another, asking questions about this and that, and they were very concerned about the actions of Tang Ke and others. Seeing his brothers miss him so much, Tang Ke felt warm in his heart. He patiently recounted the incident in detail. When it came to the black vortex, the audience was surprisingly quiet.

"But in the end, we still escaped. Don't forget, we are a group of guys whose lives are tougher than iron." Tang Ke finished the story triumphantly.

The crowd gathered around burst into bursts of hearty laughter. Immediately, some people proposed to hold a banquet to celebrate, and some expressed their desire to see the appearance of Mermaid Key. The sea is vast and boundless, and a few ships appear lonely when parked on the sea. Fortunately, there are many people on board, and we will never be lonely when we are together.

Not only is it not lonely, even if Tang Ke wants to keep his ears clean for a while, he can't do it.

There was still no banquet to celebrate that day, because the Purgatory had not returned to its voyage. Tang Ke said that the heroes of this ship could not be left behind, and the celebration would have to wait until all the people were gathered. As for the mermaid key, Tang Ke just held it in his hand and showed it to everyone, so no one could touch it. Tang Ke was worried about these rough-handed and rough-footed pirates. If someone broke the mermaid key, he would not be able to find a place to cry.

In order to reassure the one-eyed man in the distance, Tang Ke specially released an eagle to announce the good news. What makes him depressed is that the Xunying in his picture still does not obey the order, and the Xunying he released belongs to others.

In the evening, Iona came to the captain's room alone, and briefly reported the situation of the fleet in the past few days. A small problem was mentioned in it. Although she claimed to be the lady of the boat, many people still disagreed with her. Firstly, because of her low qualifications, and secondly, because she is a woman, how could such a group of tall and thick men be willing to be managed by a woman. These problems can only be resolved by time. Iona said that she will work hard to be a steward and strive to win everyone's trust.

Tang Ke encouraged Iona a few words, and then chatted for a while about the experience of extorting treasures, and discussed going to the Little Pirate City to find a linguist who knew Devil's language. Iona rubbed Tang Ke's shoulders again on the grounds that Tang Ke had worked hard. Of course Tang Ke was willing to bear it, sniffing the fragrance on Iona's body while feeling the tenderness from those slender hands.

That's all that happened that night.

The fleet then went straight to the Little Pirate City. Although the future plan had not been finalized, whether it was going to Dragon Nest Island to build a base, or to carry out sea plunder, they had to go to Pirate City first. During the voyage, the pirate group encountered two sea monster attacks, all of which were easily killed. When the fleet was about to arrive at Little Pirate City, they encountered another relatively large pirate group with more than 70 ships. After Tang Ke got the report, he put down the half-scratched saber and went to the deck to check. He picked up the binoculars and saw the other party's pirate flag.

A smiling skull, holding a playing card in the palm of the skeleton beside it - the Joker Pirates.

The two sides were heading in the same direction, and Tang Ke guessed that the ghost pirate group was also going to the Little Pirate City. He thought of Christine who had chatted with him for three days at a time. This guy was rumored to be very deceitful, but he didn't feel this deceit at all when he met him.

The two fleets gradually approached during the voyage, and before the Dragon Pirates could react, the Ghost Pirates were the first to fire a cannon to express their friendship.

Tang Ke immediately fired back, and everyone focused on the huge fleet, not noticing that there was a vague shadow of a ship approaching behind them.

"Haha Brother Tangke, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Christine's voice sounded abruptly, hearty, but it was like an echo in a dream, making people confused.

Tang Ke was quite surprised, because judging from the source of the sound, he suddenly turned his head not far behind him. At first glance, there was nothing on the sea in the direction of the port side of the Cangtian, but if he carefully identified it, there would be a ship-shaped Phantoms exist.

The phantom of the ship shape turned into a real body in an instant, as if by magic, a whole sailboat appeared on the sea out of thin air. This ship is also a medium-sized ship like the Cangtian. On it, the logo of the Joker Pirates was painted. Christine was standing on the deck of this ship. He held his glass high and said with a smile, "Captain of the Ghost Pirates, Christine is here, Brother Tangke. Let's have another drink."

This Bloody Magic has the ability to create color illusions, very similar to a chameleon. After casting it, the entire ship will blend in with the surrounding colors. If it was during the day, the Bloody Magic would only leave behind a phantom, but at night, it could be completely hidden.

Just like the name implies, the ship uses magical abilities to carry out bloody plunder at sea.

Christine let the Bloody Magic suddenly appear on the side of the Cangtian. This greeting was a bit unexpected, and it also had a little deterrent effect. If the Bloody Magic wants to be unfavorable to the Cangtian, it only needs to use the cover of the night to suddenly launch an attack when the Cangtian has not activated the magic furnace. In this case, the Cangtian can be captured in one fell swoop.

Tang Ke has a certain understanding of the abilities of the Bloody Magic, but problems also arise. When he first met with Christine, Christine claimed that someone in the pirate group had mutinied, and a captain took the Bloody Magic away. up. But now, Christine is clearly stepping on the Bloody Magic, there must be something tricky about it.

"Christine, your appearance is really surprising. I would like to toast you for your wonderful performance." Tang Ke took the wine glass from his subordinates and pointed at Christine from afar.

The two ships were docked. During this period, Tang Ke used the investigation technique on the Bloody Magic and learned that this ship was a second-order magic ship. Although the firepower was only average, the special ability was too good. It can rival the third-order magic ship, which makes him a little jealous.

Christine hosted a banquet for Tonk on the Bloody Magic, and the two sat face to face, chatting while drinking. When Tang Ke came over, he only brought Red Locke and a few other subordinates to fill the scene, while Christine's subordinates were much stronger, and there were even fifth-tier swordsmen.

Although not as heaven-defying as the Golden Beard Pirates, the Ghost Pirates are also impeccable. The crew and ships of this pirate group are very superior, and there is a ghostly Christine who controls the overall situation.

"Christine, I remember you said last time that this ship has been taken away by your captain, why is it showing up again now?" Tang Ke asked after taking a sip of his wine. As soon as he said this, several people around Christine giggled.

"Brother Tang Ke, it was actually a game I set up." Christine didn't mean to hide it.

"Would like to hear more, I think this story would be a good appetizer."

"Have you ever heard of the Crooked Brothers Pirates?"

Tang Ke thought for a while and replied, "I have a little impression."

Christine nodded, meaning that this would be easy to handle, and he continued to elaborate: "Just like the name of this pirate group, their boss is a pair of brothers wearing hooks. These two are very good at melee combat. Good at coordinating attacks. The Hook Brothers Pirates once ruined a sale of ours, and I lost a sum of money, which caused a lot of resentment among the brothers in the Pirates, and they all wanted to deal with them. Although our strength is stronger than them, but If it is head-to-head, it will inevitably be severely injured, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Tang Ke immediately understood the general idea of ​​the matter, and said with a smile, "So you thought of a bitter trick?"

"Hehe, that's right, my captain did suffer a little bit, and it would be appropriate to call this scheme a bitter trick. I played a play with the captain, pretending to have a fight in front of other pirate groups, and then created a The illusion of parting ways. I pretended to be poor and spread the news everywhere, even when I met you, I deliberately told you about it. When everyone believed it, my darling The captain took the Bloody Magic to join the Hook Brothers Pirates. Their pirate group has many capable people, but they only need a magic ship, so they are naturally happy to accept the Bloody Magic. The next thing, even if I Not to mention, you should have already guessed it. As long as my people break into their interior, I can frame them no matter how I want. Finally, as you can see, my captain returned, and I The Bloody Magic is back with a dozen ships of the Hook Brothers Pirates. By the way, the Hook Brothers Pirates no longer exist. As if by magic, they whizzed from Disappeared at sea."

Tang Ke understands that Christine's plan is not very profound, but in fact, even if it is thirty-six tricks, it is not that complicated. But if you want to complete a simple layout, the effort you put in for it is not simple. And many people lack the eyes to see through illusions. Tang Ke felt that he had been taught a lesson. To deal with the enemy in the future, he still had to try his best to outsmart him. A good idea can often avoid a lot of bloodshed.

"Sea Loach really lives up to its reputation, I'd like to toast you again." Tang Ke raised his glass.

The two clinked glasses and drank, and Christine then talked about other irrelevant topics, and then he changed the subject and asked solemnly: "Brother Tang Ke, are you interested in cooperating with me and making a big deal?"

Tang Ke shook the bright yellow wine in his glass and said, "With all due respect, do you think I would dare to have further cooperation with you after hearing your story?" The last time Tang Ke approached Christine was to complete The task assigned by the system, but this time, he was talking with his real thoughts.

"Why don't you dare? I'm afraid I'll hurt you?" Christine changed her previous image and said in a sincere tone, "You only see my deceitful side, but you don't see my honest side. You can ask me what I did, or let me tell you about it myself. Yes, I set many people up. But I never betrayed my friends, nor the promises I made. Donk, if I It’s really the kind of person who hurts whoever he sees, and it’s impossible to have so many brothers. As a pirate, you can be cruel, but you must know who to point your blade at.”

Tang Ke and Christine looked at each other, and the other's eyes were surprisingly clear. After he maintained it for a while, he was touched and changed his words: "Tell me what this deal is first."

Christine returned to her smile, revealing her big gold teeth. "Presumably you must know that a year ago, the Clover Merchant Alliance sent a huge fleet with about 160 ships. This is the largest fleet that has participated in the voyage in the past five years. I got Reliable news, this fleet has made a fortune in the east, and every ship is full of gold. Soon, this fleet will return.”

The voyage of the Clover Merchant Alliance is a big event, and everyone who makes a living at sea knows it. Speaking of which, Tang Ke still has a little to do with this matter. He has a friendship with Elizabeth, which is still a bit unclear. And Elizabeth took part in the voyage, and is currently in the caravan.

Tang Ke's face remained calm, but he was a little worried about Elizabeth. This caravan was a big fat sheep, and it had already been missed by the hungry wolves.

"What a big deal." Tang Ke nodded.

"If you want to do it, make it bigger. This deal will be the biggest in five years. Even the Golden Beard hasn't moved such a large fleet in recent years." Christine said excitedly, obviously , robbing a huge fleet can make any pirate excited.

"I have a big appetite, but can I eat it?"

"I definitely can't do it myself," Christine admitted frankly, "Fortunately, I am not the only one who wants to plan this fleet. Apart from the Beard Pirates, none of the other pirate groups has the ability to monopolize this caravan. So we have to join forces, and I want to be the one who started it. How about it? Are you interested?"

According to Tang Ke's original intention, he is unwilling to cooperate with a dangerous guy like Christine, because how can he judge whether he is deeply caught in the "game" set by Christine? But he was worried about Elizabeth, at least he had to understand what Christine was thinking.

"Tell me about it in detail."
