Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

It's just rock climbing. Although it's on an almost vertical mountain wall, as long as you use your hands and feet together, it's not difficult - as long as you have enough physical strength and are not afraid of being thrown to death.

"Hiss~ It's so cold." Zhang Daye hung on the mountain wall like a big gecko, trying hard to find a place to borrow strength with his hands and feet, and slowly climbed up.

Because it was winter, the rocks on the mountain felt like ice cubes. He suspected that if he licked them with his tongue, they would stick to them immediately.

As the altitude increased, the wind gradually increased. Tom, who was sitting on Zhang Daye's shoulders as a weight, shivered and took out a blanket to wrap himself tightly.

"It's so stupid to practice rock climbing in winter, who suggested it!" Zhang Daye's physical strength has long been different from what it used to be, and he was still in the mood to complain while climbing.

"Isn't it you who brought it up! Huh...cough!" Ye Yan gasped and suddenly choked on the cold wind, "I feel like after this trip, I have to ask Wendy to treat frostbite."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Wendy's physical strength is stronger than that of Ye Yan, and she doesn't look like a twelve-year-old child at all.

"Is it so serious? I feel fine." Rui Mengmeng climbed up without much effort. Her physique became less and less like a normal person, and her ability to withstand cold and heat was getting stronger and stronger.

Now, apart from the four of them climbing the rock, only Artoria is accompanying them - she can moonwalk and can act as a lifeguard.

Perona only tried to climb twice at the beginning, and then she begged Xia Lulu pitifully to take her to the top of the mountain.

Brooke wanted to participate in group activities, but a strong wind came and almost blew him away. His weight was still too light, so he had to ask Jin Erpeng to take him up.

As for Shark Chili, his body is too difficult to climb up the cliff. Even if he uses the super transformation form, how to get down is still a problem if he climbs up within 15 minutes.

Moreover, given his weight, it would be difficult for either Xia Lulu or Jin Erpeng to fly him. As for letting Artoria carry him up and fly up with the moon step... it is possible, but it feels too embarrassing, so

He simply gave up and walked around the island alone, agreeing to meet at the castle in the forest later.

The relative altitude of this mountain is quite high, and it took everyone a while to successfully climb it.

Others were fine. Ye Yan just lay on the ground and didn't want to get up: "Ah, it feels like my hands are no longer mine! Anyway, this is considered a work-related injury. I want compensation for medical expenses!"

"Okay." Zhang Da agreed readily, "Then when we get to the next island, Wendy's pocket money will be doubled."

"What does it have to do with Wendy? Why don't you give it to me?"

"Anyway, you go to Wendy for treatment. Why don't I pay it for you directly? It also saves you a procedure. What a considerate and good boss."

"I protest!"

"Protests are ineffective."

Wendy was also a little tired at this time. She kept sitting like a duck and wanted to take a rest. Rui Mengmeng took off her coat to cushion Wendy so that the ground would not get cold. She was not afraid of the cold anyway.

"Thank you, Sister Mengmeng." Wendy thanked her sweetly, and was soon amused by the conversation between Zhang Daye and Ye Yan. She got up and used magic to help Ye Yan relieve frostbite.

"You are so slow!" Perona ran out of the house, squatted next to Wendy and tilted her head to watch her use magic.

Ye Yan looked at the swelling in his hand and said dissatisfied: "What qualifications does the guy who flew up have to say this?"

"Slightly~" Perona was no longer afraid of Ye Yan now, and made a face at him: "Everyone climbed up here, why is it that only your hands are frostbitten? Even the black-hearted boss is better than you."

The two of them had a small quarrel, and Xia Lulu came out to say hello: "Go inside the house, it's warm inside, and Brooke has lit the fireplace."

This is a small house made of bluestone. The roof is covered with thatch. The thatch has not been blown away by such a big wind on the top of the mountain. Although it is not scientific, it is very piratey.

"Yo ho ho ho~ Although I wanted to boil some hot water and wait for everyone, it's a pity that there is nothing here." Brooke lead everyone into the house with a smile.

After entering the house, a wave of heat hit his face. The one who reacted the most was Tom. He rushed to the fireplace, spread the blanket wrapped around him on the ground, lay down comfortably and closed his eyes to warm up to the fire - he liked the fireplace best.

.

After the others warmed up a little, they began to walk around, turning around each room to see if there were any clues to the treasure.

But as Brooke said, all the rooms are empty, not even the most basic beds, tables, chairs and benches.

Perona said: "Sure enough, the treasure is in that castle, right? That clown's treasure map might be a fake."

"That's not necessarily the case. Such an empty house doesn't look like it's used to live in. It's obviously meant to hide treasures." Ye Yan walked to the fireplace, "Since there is no furniture at all, why is there a fireplace? I'm sure

has a problem."

As he spoke, he pushed hard on the side of the fireplace, but there was no response. Ye Yan did not lose heart and moved to the other side.

‘Click...’ The fireplace slid smoothly for a distance, revealing a basement entrance.

Tom was awakened by the sound, and looked at the fireplace far away from him without knowing why. He spread his hands, dragged the small blanket and changed its position, and continued to warm himself by the fire and sleep.

But no one paid attention to this lazy cat at the moment, everyone was staring at the entrance.

Perona said in disbelief: "You're lying, right? Is there really a basement? Why didn't the skeleton notice it even after being busy in front of the fireplace for so long?"

"Ah... I feel despised by Miss Perona..." Brooke was a little shocked.

Wendy praised: "I discovered it right away, it's amazing!"

"Hey, this is called IQ." Ye Yan hesitated a little, and then held out two bright demon flags, "To prevent there are traps and the like, let the flag demon explore the way first."

Two flag demons floated into the tunnel entrance with resentful expressions on their faces.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Da also gave him a thumbs up: "This cautious look is in my style, and the flag demon is really easy to use."

Soon, two flag demons floated back and said: "There are no mechanisms inside, but there are no treasures either. Please be mentally prepared to return empty-handed."

Everyone walked down the entrance in confusion. After walking a few steps, Zhang Da turned around and pulled Tom in. Tom blinked and turned back and pulled the blanket in.

After walking through a long tunnel, it became darker and darker inside. Zhang Daye and Ye Yan were not affected at all, but the others could not see anything clearly.

"It's so dark, has anyone brought a light?" Perona grabbed Wendy's hand with some fear. Although she liked dark castles, she didn't like places with no light at all.

Reliable Tom sat on Zhang Daye's shoulder and lit a match, and the weak firelight just illuminated Brooke's face.

"Yeah -" Perona screamed. If she hadn't suddenly remembered that there was a perverted skeleton among her companions, she would have used a passive ghost attack.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, Miss Perona, but I will be sad if you react so strongly, yo ho ho..."

"Yes, I'm sorry." Perona also apologized in a low voice. It doesn't matter if she fights when she is bored, but if she makes someone sad, she will still apologize properly.

Zhang Da also remembered that others did not have night vision, so he rummaged through the inventory, found an oil lamp, lit it and held it in his hand, which finally allowed people to see things clearly. In fact, he still had a flashlight, but he felt like using an oil lamp

More atmosphere.

The tunnel soon reached the end, where there was a wooden door that had been pushed open by the flag demon.

Sitting on the seat facing the door was a man wearing a pirate captain's costume, or rather a skeleton. It looked like he had been dead for a long time.

"Is this Wu Nan?" Zhang Da also came closer. This man's current appearance is similar to Brooke's, and his specific appearance cannot be seen.

On his left hand was a gold nugget the size of a pigeon egg, and on his right was an ordinary box.

"Tatsuya, there are writings on the wall." Arturia reminded.

Zhang Da also turned around. The wall facing Wu Nan was densely covered with words, which should be Wu Nan's last words:

"Those who came here in pursuit of gold, my name is Wu Nan. I was once known as the golden pirate, but now I am just a man waiting to die. All the gold I collected has been returned to its original owner.

, I went through battles, realized my childhood ambition, and built an unprecedented golden mountain.

However, standing in front of the Golden Mountain, I remembered what a man said - 'Gold can't laugh, it's no different from stone'. From the day he rescued me, he has been in my heart and riding the same boat with me.

ship, adventure together over the long years.

Because of this, I have no regrets about the life I spent on adventure. Yes, I finally understood that what I wanted to gain by risking my life was not gold, but the adventure of pursuing gold.

There is no gold here anymore, but there is a gift that is more precious than gold. Although it is just worthless to others, for me now, as long as I have this, it is enough. Please don’t destroy this place.

This is the place where the greatest treasure of my life sleeps."

"They actually returned all the gold." Rui Mengmeng said, "So our trip was really in vain?"

Ye Yan covered his chest: "Although I am mentally prepared, I still feel heartbroken. My golden mountain is gone...is there really such a big spender in the world?"

Brooke was not disappointed at all: "Yo ho ho ho~ For me, being able to learn about the life of such a legendary pirate is already a worthwhile trip."

Perona said: "It's a lie, isn't there a piece of gold here?"

"Maybe that piece of gold originally belonged to him." Artoria speculated, "I don't think such a person would lie on his deathbed."

"Let me see what the greatest treasure in his life is, the voyage diary?" Zhang Da also walked towards Wu Nan's body and gently opened the box.

What comes into view is a piece of black cloth, and after shaking it open, there is a pirate flag, and it is a patched pirate flag.

"Is this the first pirate flag of the Wu Nan Pirates?" Zhang Da also guessed, and soon he noticed that there was another piece of paper in the box, and he opened it and took a look.

After a rough look, Zhang Da was a little confused: "This... seems to be... the secret recipe of Oden?"

Arturia instantly appeared next to Zhang Tatsuya, tilted her head and looked at the paper in his hand, with a look of relief on her face: "Tatsuya didn't lie to me, it turns out that there really is a secret recipe for delicious food in the treasure!"

Tom probably thought of the delicious oden he had eaten a few days ago, and rubbed his hands expectantly. Would he be able to make it himself?

Perona asked: "Why is the most important treasure of the Golden Pirates Oden?"

Ye Yan finally got over his disappointment and said, "When talking about oden, I think of that strange boss. The prices of his products are so low, which is in line with his character who doesn't like gold."

Zhang Da also agreed: "Indeed, seeing that he is about the same age as Wu Nan, maybe the man mentioned in Wu Nan's last words is him."

"Yohohoho~ Is there a friendship between the big pirate and the oden boss? It feels very interesting."

"Just in time, let's go ask him, give him a massage, and find out about the secret recipe." Zhang Daya also hastily made a plan for the next trip, but no one objected.

Before leaving, Zhang Da also thought about it and wrote a few words after Wu Nan's last words: "Amber Tour Group is here for a visit."

He also used his poor drawing skills to accompany Tom's stick figure portrait.

As everyone walked out, Rui Mengmeng whispered: "Boss, this is uncivilized travel behavior and will lead to bad things for the children."

"Nonsense, I have good intentions." Zhang Da also said plausibly, "With Wu Nan's popularity, I'm not sure how many people will come to hunt for treasures in the future, such as Bucky. When the time comes, Sampley, the closest place to here, will

Si Island suffered.

But after someone knows that we have been here, only a few people will believe Wu Nan's last words, and most of them will think that we took away the gold. Once the news spreads, there will be far fewer pirates coming here."

Perona was scared and said: "Are you crazy? If people know that one-third of the world's gold is in our hands, there will be many terrible people chasing us, right? I will wipe it out now!"

"Don't make trouble." Zhang Da also grabbed Perona's back collar and lifted her up, leaving the loli struggling in the air. He explained: "Really knowledgeable people have heard that one-third of the world's

You will never believe such nonsense as gold. As for those who have no knowledge, come and come. Even if I can't defeat them for the time being, Artoria can kill them all with one sword."

Zhang Da also felt that the small village was quite pitiful. The presence of a character like Wu Nan was not a good thing for them. Instead of letting the treasure-hunting pirates cause trouble for the villagers, it would be better to draw attention to him.

On the body.

He is no longer the cautious Zhang Daye he was when he first arrived in Xiangbo. Although he does not yet have the strength and ambition to help the world, it is nothing to meddle in this level of meddling. He should just treat it as a thank you to Wu Nan for the secret oden recipe.

.

Another reason is that he wants to earn bounties when someone comes to trouble him! He covets the bodies of those criminals with bounties on them!

Today is a simple holiday, I’m late in writing... Happy Lantern Festival everyone
