Pirate System

Chapter 429: Enhance defense

The sun was shining brightly, shining on every plant and tree in the forest. Among the many plants, a tree with a boy's face was the most special and conspicuous. The strange pop-up tree has a face growing on its body, which is one of the characteristics of the Tree of Life. As the tree of life grows, the face on the tree will gradually grow, growing from a crying baby to an old man. When the Tree of Life reaches its prime, it will even grow limbs and move freely.

This Tree of Life was just redeemed by Tang Ke, and seven elves came to this world with this tree.

Tangke stood under the shade of the tree and looked up. According to his observation, this tree was much thicker than the two trees in the hands of Eunice and Kelly Tina.

At this time, the young man's face on Shu Qian was looking around curiously. Tang Ke named the tree "Shenyao". He hoped that the tree would grow up quickly and support the pirate group.

"The Tree of Life is on the verge of extinction. Once such a tree appears, it will attract competition from various forces. I don't want to cause trouble for myself, so I can't let outsiders know the existence of this tree." Tang Ke slowly turned around He turned around and faced the newly recruited elves, "The Tree of Life must be kept secret from the outside world, and your existence must be kept secret from the outside world. Although you are members of the Dragon Pirate Group, I will not publicly announce your identity." In the days to come, you must learn to endure loneliness, not have contact with the outside world, and hide in this forest all day long to practice. Only when you have enough strength can you leave here and fight against the enemy for me and the pirate group."

"I will definitely obey your instructions, practice hard in this forest, and protect this precious tree of life from outsiders." The leading female elf bowed and said, her voice was like a lark. Melodious and graceful. She was wearing the most ordinary robe and holding the most ordinary staff, but the green dress hanging on her forearm was extraordinary. This dress was a green leaf shirt, which Tang Ke had just given to her.

The green leaf shirt can only be worn by female druids, so Tangke specially recruited a first-level female druid. This druid is of a very low level and cannot bring out the full power of the Green Leaf Shirt. However, Tangke doesn't have many reward points at the moment, so he can only recruit a first-level druid to make do with it.

"We will also obey your instructions." The other sixteen elves also agreed. They are composed of a magician, a druid, four assassins, five swordsmen and five archers. They are quite comprehensive in terms of professions, but their levels are extremely low.

The spring water derived from the Tree of Life has extraordinary effects on elves of any profession. Tangke had no idea of ​​organizing a special force, so he simply came up with a hodgepodge and recruited some from all professions.

"This is the first time we have met, and we should have had a good chat, but I have something important to do. I will set sail for the East tomorrow, and I don't know when I will come back. Today I can only simply get to know each other. ." Tang Ke gestured for everyone to sit on the floor, then briefly talked about the pirate group and summarized the tense situation in the world today. Wait until the sun goes down,

He said goodbye to these elves, took out his sword wings, and flew back to the dock.

The elves raised their heads and watched Tang Ke go away. They only looked back after Tang Ke disappeared from the low cliff. From then on, they had to live an isolated life in the wild. Their existence is kept secret, and only a few people in the entire pirate group know about it. They live here and can only find ways to be self-sufficient, and no one will send them food and daily necessities.

In addition, this continuous forest has been listed as a forbidden area by Tang Ke, and no pirates can approach it. If this group of elves finds a strange intruder, they will kill them indiscriminately, regardless of whether they are pirates or natives who entered here by mistake. With such cruel and clear confidentiality measures, it can be seen how much Tang Ke values ​​this tree of life.

After a moment of silence, the leading female druid glanced around and asked: "Gentlemen and ladies, should we start practicing?"

"I agree," a male elf swordsman stood up, "Anyway, this is a task we shoulder, so we should start it as soon as possible."

"But I'm hungry now." Another female elf said with a red face.

"Then let's go hunting. I think this will be a very good training project." The female druid said. All the elves had stood up and held their weapons.

From the distant forest, a low roar of some kind of beast could be heard, as if it was a mourning speech before death.

...Tangke got good news after returning to the dock: One Ear is back!

He was very excited when he learned the news. He had been worried about the defense of Dragon's Nest Island since it was attacked by Alem last time. Now it's good, One Ear is back, and One Ear can make some magic weapons to strengthen the island's defense and solve the current problem.

Tonk flew straight to the square and heard that One Ear was there.

As expected, nearly a thousand people gathered there, and they were completely blocked. Thanks to Tang Ke's good sight, he found One Ear's figure.

One Ear was surrounded by everyone, smiling and chatting with the pirates around him. His appearance didn't change much, except that the hair used to cover his broken ear was longer, and his eyes were a little sharper and more confident than before. On his right shoulder lies a strange metal colored bird. Although this bird is made of metal, it can move like a real bird and can even learn to speak like a parrot. Everyone's attention and conversations revolved around this iron bird, and they were full of curiosity about it.

"Everyone, be quiet, the leader is here!"

The square turned from noisy to silent, and this group of pirates showed amazing discipline. However, rather than saying that they are disciplined, it is better to say that they admire the powerful leader.

"Bot, long time no see." Tangke greeted easily, and you could see how happy he was from his smile. Because the square was too crowded, he had to stand on the cross on the roof of the church. Behind his standing figure are reddish clouds and a faintly outlined pale blue crescent moon.

"I'm glad to see you still look so good, Captain." Yi Er looked up at Tang Ke and said with a smile.

Tang Ke glanced around the square and said, "It's too crowded here. Come with me to the beach for a walk. Also, you guys should go away. Don't follow the two of us. I want to talk to Bert alone." chat."

The pirates agreed with a bang, and one of them proposed to hold a banquet. This proposal was enthusiastically responded to - in fact, this proposal has never been refuted by the pirates.

The seaside was also dyed with a layer of twilight, and the sky and the sea lost their previous blue color, replaced by a color between reddish brown and dark purple. This color presents a weird beauty, and I think painters will like this tone very much. Although the appearance has changed, the momentum of the waves has not diminished at all. They are still slamming against the rocks on the shore, full of power. In this world, apart from the navy, these are the only waves that are qualified to kill pirates.

"Why did you come back early? It's only been less than half a year." Tang Ke knew Yi Yi Er's strength data well, but he knew very little about Yi Yi Er's recent experiences and the situation in the Maze River.

"I would like to learn more from Mr. Garvey, but his old memory has recovered, and he is very angry that I took the opportunity to learn from him during his amnesia. He has already fallen out with me. If it weren't for Kilo If you try hard to protect me, Mr. Garvey will have to peel off my skin." Yi Er smiled bitterly.

"Garvey regained his memory? No wonder you came back. How did he regain his memory?"

"Forget it, the whole thing is like a joke. During the meal, someone opened a bottle of champagne. Because of the improper method, the cork flew out and hit Teacher Garvey on the temple. The rest You should be able to guess what happened.”

Tang Ke laughed dumbly, "He regained his memory just because of a cork?"

"According to those doctors and missionaries, the head is the most sophisticated and miraculous machine in the world, and no one can understand it. After this incident, I am convinced of this statement." One ear raised his finger and pointed. own head.

"Maybe we should find a way to give Garvey's head another shot so he loses his memory again."

One Ear laughed heartily, "It's better not to bother him." After a while, his smile gradually stopped, with the afterglow of the setting sun in his eyes, "I feel quite sorry for Mr. Garvey, he accepted me As a disciple, he taught me the knowledge I longed for, but in the end, I took advantage of his amnesia to trick him."

"What's the point? I saved his life. It's not an exaggeration to ask him to repay his kindness with knowledge." Tang Ke said nonchalantly.

"But Mr. Garvey didn't think so. You should have seen how angry he was at that time. His white hair stood up with anger." One Ear looked helpless, "He kicked me out of the school, no. Don’t accept me as your disciple anymore.”

"Tch, that old stingy guy." Tangke felt that Garvey just wanted to keep his skills, just like the legendary cat who refused to teach a tiger to climb a tree.

"Before I left, I apologized to him, but he ignored me."

Tang Ke turned his head and glanced at Yi Er, and found that Yi Er was enveloped in a depressed atmosphere, so he patted Yi Er on the shoulder to show encouragement.

"Stop looking for trouble. You can write an apology letter to Garvey in the future. If he really refuses to forgive you, forget it. In this world, it is impossible to make everyone around you satisfied with yourself."

One ear nodded and said, "I'll write to him again after he's calmed down for a while. By the way, I heard the news that the Volcanic Ash Pirates attacked Dragon's Nest Island. Many of us died, and we stepped on The Wave Rider was also robbed, and if you hadn’t just come back, the ship might have been taken away.”

"It's O." Even though the matter has passed, Tang Ke's face still darkened when he mentioned this matter. "The island's defense is still not enough. Even a fifth-level gunman can run wild here."

One Ear stopped, turned to face Tang Ke, and said solemnly: "I promise you, as long as I set my feet on the land of Dragon's Nest Island, I will never let this happen again. times. If a second volcanic ash pirate group comes here to run wild, I will make sure that they never come back."

"I'm very happy that you can say that." Tang Ke smiled sincerely, "But as a craftsman, you only need to make weapons for the island, and there is no need for you to go into battle to kill the enemy."

"Hehe, if you say that, you are looking down on me. The weapons I am making now are very powerful. With these weapons in hand, most people are not my opponent. This bird is one of my masterpieces. I will show you later I'll show you what it's capable of." One ear patted the head of the iron bird on the shoulder.

Tie Niao blinked and shouted: "Masterpiece! Masterpiece!" with a parrot accent.

"What's so great about this bird?" Tang Ke thought the iron bird was just a toy. He wanted to hear his own explanation, so he did not directly use the investigation technique to find out the results.

"It is small in size, but not very powerful. I injected the soul of a bird into it so that it can think simply, and I also installed a 'recording snail' in its belly so that it can record some words. In addition to these , the most powerful thing about it is this." One Ear raised his hand and pointed to a rock out of the sea, and recited a secret activation phrase.

A cold light flashed through Iron Bird's round eyes, he lowered his body, spread his iron wings diagonally, and kicked off his legs to fly out. In mid-air, it underwent a rapid transformation, folded its feet, doubled its wings, and extended an extremely sharp blade at the edge. It flew around the reef, making a sharp cutting sound. When it flew back, the reef had been broken into two halves, and the upper half slid diagonally into the sea. The verb "slip" is used because the cut is so flat, just like a mirror.

When the little pet stood still on the shoulder, one ear showed a proud look.

Tang Ke clapped his hands and praised: "Judging from the speed and strength it showed just now, it is enough to kill an ordinary third-level swordsman. If it is used for a sneak attack, even a fourth-level swordsman or above can be killed in one fell swoop. It’s really great.”

"Awesome! Awesome!" Tie Niiao walked from the left side of his shoulder to the right, and then back again, repeating this as if he was dancing.

"What I learned from Garvey was not only the technology of shipbuilding, but also the technology of making weapons, including ordinary weapons and magic weapons. Especially magic weapons, which are extremely powerful. With this kind of weapon in hand, even an ordinary person can transform and defeat the strong." An ear probe reached into his hand and took out three exquisite-looking balls, which were brown, blue and purple. "These three are 'Roaring bombs', 'ice explosive bombs' and 'poison explosive bombs', any one of them can kill a fifth-level expert."

Tang Ke grabbed the three small balls in his hand and squeezed them twice. "Will these things explode if you just throw them out?"

"You have to press the safety button first. After pressing it, it will explode if you throw it out." One Ear saw that Tang Ke wanted to experiment and stopped him, "Just believe me. These three little guys' The power is strong enough and no testing is needed. The materials used to make these three explosive bombs are very precious and are worth more than four thousand gold coins. It would be a waste if they were used to test the power."

Tang Ke suppressed his curiosity and stuffed the explosive bomb back into a hand with broad ears and calluses. "I believe in the power of these explosive bombs, but the problem is that the fifth-level powerhouses are very fast. If you want to It's not easy to hit them with explosives."

"It doesn't matter. I also know how to make weapons such as sleeping bombs, paralysis mines, and sticky nets. These weapons are not very powerful, but they can hinder the enemy's movement. As long as I have enough funds, I will definitely be able to make a set of weapons that can kill five people." A weapon for the powerful." Yi Er's words were full of passion and confidence.

"Okay!" Tang Ke nodded, "I will ask Audrey to allocate you 100,000 gold coins. You can use this money as you wish. You must help me create a large number of weapons to defeat Dragon Nest Island, Turtle Island The defenses of the three islands of Back Island and Diamond Island have been raised. Just like what you just said, let the enemy enter with no chance of coming back!"

"I won't let you down, it's just..." Yi Er said awkwardly, "One hundred thousand gold coins is still a bit small."

Although magic weapons are good, the materials they require are very rare and the cost is extremely high. If a huge amount of 100,000 gold coins were used to build magic weapons, it would be like throwing it into the sea and disappearing in an instant.

Tang Ke was a fool when it came to money and never managed finances. However, his two wives, Elizabeth and Iona, were both experts in financial management. They managed the expenses of the pirate group in an orderly manner and monitored them very closely. The pirate group's current active assets are close to half a million gold coins, which seems like a lot, but the money that can be freely misappropriated is not much. This money is used to do business, purchase supplies, and pay salaries. Every expense is astonishing, just like running water.

Although the pirates Tang Ke recruited through the system were very loyal, this group of recruits only accounted for a small part of the pirate group, about one-seventh. The rest are pirates recruited from outside. These people are also loyal, but their loyalty is to gold coins, not Tonk or the Evil Dragon Flag.

In order to stabilize the hearts of these investors, Tang Ke could only provide regular funding for these investors, and the money offered was still very high, far exceeding that of sailors on ordinary merchant ships. It is precisely because of such huge profits that those people are willing to fight for Tang Ke!

Pirates are passionate, but they are also money-worshiping and realistic.

In short, there is not much money in the pirate group that can be used to make weapons.

"Then I'll give you 120,000 gold coins. This is the limit I can give. In addition, the defense on Turtle Island can be put aside first. That island has been managed by Golden Beard for many years. The firepower is still good." Tang Ke gritted his teeth and squeezed out a little more oil and water from his pocket.

"I will try my best to budget carefully, and try to reduce the failure rate, and try to use the money to make more weapons." Yi Er promised.

"In addition to the material cost, I will give you an additional five thousand gold coins, which are your wages."

Yi Er immediately shook his head and said, "I don't need you to pay me wages."

"Just take it. Your craftsmanship is worth the money." Tang Ke was absolutely unambiguous when it came to salary, and he would give whatever was due. With Yi Er's current level, if he served the empire, the reward he would receive would definitely be more than 5,000 gold coins.

"You can give it if you are willing. But I will not spend this money randomly, but will use it to build weapons."

"I don't care how you spend your money." Tang Ke patted Yi Er's shoulder again. The touch of the other person's shoulder made him feel very at ease, "With you here, Dragon's Nest Island will be safer. In this way, I feel relieved when I leave.”

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Yi Er said in shock.

"Go east."

"To where in the east?"

"I don't know. But I have a hunch that this voyage will be very long." Tangke's Resurrection Fountain pointed to the east, and his heart had already flown there.

"Why do you want to go there? Seriously, the sea here is chaotic enough now, so you'd better not go far."

"I went there to become stronger." Tang Ke looked at the sea in the east, which was the first to be brightest in a day, but also the first to darken in a day. "It is precisely because it is too chaotic here that I go to the east. Only Only by going there can I gain enough power to quell the chaos.”
