Pirate System

Chapter 199 The Partner

The smoke rose and rolled out in a strange posture, as ethereal and psychedelic as a dream.

After Tang Ke was full, he put the hot pipe into the water basin beside him. There was a crackling sound, and the fireworks were completely extinguished. This hut is a smoking room arranged by Tang Ke. It is not a big space, with only a table and a few bags of fireproof sand piled up in the corner. Wooden sailing boats are most afraid of encountering fire when sailing on the sea. Anything related to fire should not be underestimated. After you have cigarettes, it is imperative to open up a smoking room.

This ship is Cangtian, sailing on the sea, it is already far away from Dragon Nest Island, and it is about to arrive at Little Pirate City. A few days ago, Tang Ke received a letter from Christine using the Eagle, which told him to go to Little Pirate City to discuss important matters. The so-called major event naturally refers to the looting of the Clover fleet.

The fleet headed for the Little Pirate City consisted of two ships, and the remaining four ships stayed on Dragon Nest Island. Naturally, the members of the pirate group were divided into two groups, and some stayed on the island to continue building the port.

During Tang Ke's stay on Dragon's Nest Island, he always played the role of a high-ranking magic stick, deceiving the simple-minded natives. Starting from the first aboriginal village, he contacted the other two, where he performed performances by summoning trolls, shooting guns, etc., to convince the aborigines that he was a god. Things are progressing fairly successfully, but the language barrier has caused certain obstacles. Afterwards, Tang Ke used his status as a god to give orders to the natives, allowing the natives to participate in the construction of the port, and let the natives patrol and defend for him. However, as a god, he still has a conscience. While using the aborigines, he also gave them various materials. The wine he gave was regarded by the natives as holy water for curing diseases and avoiding disasters, and the kettle and iron products he gave were regarded as holy utensils.

In order to get a better development on the island, Tang Ke recruited several linguists and agriculturalists. These talents do not need high points, but the majors they learn are exactly what Tang Ke urgently needs. Although linguists do not understand the local dialect, they know how to analyze and learn a language, and can slowly interpret the language of the island, which is convenient for future communication with the aborigines. As for the agronomists, they were assigned to study the cultivation of large-scale tobacco and the development of soft-tasting tobacco leaves.

The relationship between the pirates and the natives had become stronger, so Tang Ke felt relieved to leave Dragon Nest Island and lead the team to the Little Pirate City.

Under the leadership of the pilot boat, Cangtian and Serenade sailed into the sea oak forest in turn. The purple leaves cut the sunlight into patches of light, which fell profusely on the sea, and the ships passed by, disrupting the light spots on the sea. Sea Oak's tree house was greeted by half-elven women, dressed in hot clothes, half naked or naked.

The pirates whistled all the way, echoing the women's enthusiasm.

The two ships arrived at the pier on the island. Tang Ke handled the matters of entering the port, settled down with his men, and then went to the Great White Shark Shipyard, intending to visit One Ear and see the progress of the Black Pearl.

Tang Ke only had a few ordinary subordinates to accompany him, because capable people like Cyclops and Iona still stayed on Dragon's Nest Island.

Tang Ke is also an old face in the Great White Shark Shipyard, and he found an ear that was buried in the factory building, and he greeted with a smile.

After hearing Tang Ke's voice in one ear, his shoulders trembled suddenly, he hurriedly put down the board in his hand, and turned his head to look. His expression changed from astonishment to surprise, and he couldn't help rushing up to hug Tang Ke.

The hug between the brothers was full of sincere warmth, one ear beat Tang Ke's back several times, and Tang Ke choked with a smile. After the two parted, they chatted about their current situation.

"How are you doing as a student? Did you faint Master Garvey?" Tang Ke asked with a smile.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm the fastest-improving student among his students." He said triumphantly with one ear raised and his thumb raised.

"How many students does he have?"

"Uh... two people." One ear saw Tang Ke's contemptuous expression, and hastily added, "I mean there are only two students who learn how to make magic boats, but there are many students who learn how to make ordinary boats. The other one who learned the magic boat was still a young boy, but he still didn't learn things as fast as me."

It is One Ear's dream to build a magic boat, and of course he will do his best to learn this skill.

After the two chatted for a while, Tang Ke turned to ask, "How is the Black Pearl going?"

"If you don't mention it, I will tell you about it. Because there was a semi-finished skeleton in the shipyard before, the manufacturing progress has been advanced. Within ten days, the construction of the Black Pearl will be completed." One ear replied.

Tang Ke's eyes lit up, he pouted forward and said, "Take me to see the Black Pearl. Let me see what she looks like now."

With one ear leading the way, they passed through the working crowd and came to dry dock No. 3, which was capable of manufacturing 2,500-ton ships and had ample space. After entering, you can see the high-rise Black Pearl at first sight. Currently, only the relief of the hull is left in the unfinished process of this ship. A group of craftsmen are carefully carving in a brightly lit environment, making the thick pen The carving knife turned and moved.

Tang Ke walked quickly to the side of the Black Pearl, looking up at the sailing ship that was about to belong to him.

She is like a black knight galloping through the night, standing proudly on the shelf with a majestic figure. Every inch of wood in the hull is brand new, full of vigor and vitality. Its ramming angle has the posture of swallowing the sea, hundreds of closed gun ports show powerful firepower, five masts are like straight arrows, and several black sailboats are curled on the beams, like closed bat wings.

"She is extremely beautiful. She is every sailor's and captain's dream girl. She is full of youthful vigor and has a slim and charming figure." The rough man with one ear would only speak in a poetic tone when praising sailing ships.

Tang Ke stayed in the shipyard for a long time and asked a lot about the Black Pearl. The ship had a stability test two days ago, and the results were quite good, proving that this big ship has the ability to weather storms . The so-called stability test is to let a large group of people run back and forth on the ship, from port to starboard, and then back again. This can simulate the wind force, and the stability of a ship can be judged from the shaking of the ship. Passing boats will even capsize during this test.

Because of work, One Ear was later called away by Garvey, and Tang Ke left on his own after he had nothing else to do.

According to the agreement, Tang Ke was going to meet Christine next, but the address he received did not specify the address, so he could only go to a well-informed place like a tavern to find out where Christine was. But before he found Christine, Christine had already found him first.

A whistle came from the alley.

Tang Ke turned his head and saw the famous sea loach standing in the shadow with a smile on his face.

Christine raised the multi-functional prosthetic hand to say hello, and said, "Brother Tang Ke, you've kept your promise, which is very good."

"Who made your plan so attractive." Tang Ke said.

"Come with me. Tonk, let me take you to meet a few friends. They are all famous guys in the sea. Every name will give the navy a headache. You will like them, I promise." Christine Walked into the depths of the alley.

"Who are they?" Tang Ke followed quickly and asked.

"Partner." Christine said lightly, demanding without looking back, "Tang Ke, you have to come by yourself, and let your servant find a woman to have fun. I am alone, and the others All the partners came by themselves. Our meeting this time was very quiet."

Tang Ke dismissed several of his subordinates without any scruples, and left with Christine alone.

It's dusk now, and the Little Pirate City has entered a noisy prelude. There are more and more people on the street. Attractive, the streets are filled with the fragrance of wine and women.

Christine stepped on the stone road covered with the afterglow of the setting sun with cheerful steps, he talked nonsense one after another. Tang Ke brought the topic back to business. He wanted to know the action plan this time, and was also very interested in several partners.

"Hush," Christine put his index finger on his lips, "don't mention our major events on the street, I'll explain it to you in detail later. I'll finish telling you now, and I'll have to repeat it later Once again, what a hassle."

Tang Ke shrugged, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, instead of asking about serious matters, occasionally interjecting a few words was just to match Christine's nonsense.

This tavern is called Demon Fire, with an aura of destruction in its name. It is an old two-story building with a slightly sloping body, which is inconspicuous in a row of buildings. The two entered the tavern, and there was only one table of unremarkable guests inside. Christine warmly hugged the proprietress in the store, kissed her face covered with thick makeup, and said a few tender words to the proprietress, but unfortunately the proprietress is already a half-aged lady. He entangled with the proprietress for a while, pinched the proprietress's round buttocks, and then walked to the deep room, where there was a stairway leading to the basement.

Christine wiped her mouth vigorously to wipe off the powder on it.

"Twenty years ago, she was the most beautiful leader in Little Pirate City. Now she is just an old woman who is ignored. Time is not forgiving. Because time is so precious, I let myself live every minute and every second Very happy." Christine chatted about her attitude towards life.

Tang Ke nodded in agreement. Pirates almost always have this kind of attitude of carpe gratification.

The staircase is unexpectedly long and narrow, extending downward in a snake-like twisted shape, and flickering glass lamps are hung on the bumpy walls. There is a closed door at the end of the stairs, which gives Tang Ke an illusion that the door leads to another world.

Christine opened the door carelessly, and greeted him happily as soon as he entered the room.

Tang Ke then stepped into the room and looked around. He felt two pairs of extremely oppressive gazes. He had to be as cold as a sharp sword so as not to be overwhelmed.

The space in the house is not large, but it is very clean and tidy, completely different from the old and decayed style of this tavern. There is a long table in the middle, surrounded by a dozen chairs made of high-quality wood, and a gemstone on the wall. Nautical charts of the sea area.

In addition to Tang Ke and Christine, there were two people waiting for a long time in the room, a man and a woman.
