The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Wilk District. It was already dark before the night was deep, and occasionally a weak light shined through the cloudy glass to give passers-by a little light. Probably only places like bars will have lights on until midnight.

This is obviously not the era of electrification, and electric lights are unimaginable. Although oil lamps are a necessity for all people, for people in the middle and lower classes, they can still use them as little as possible.

The moon had not yet risen, and in the dark but damp alley, two cats walked one after another towards the center of Wilk District through the darkness of night. The black and white milk cat at the back seemed to be staggering a little, with its left front paw raised in the air, making it look like it was lame.

"El, I think it's better to change back. Walking on all fours makes the wound on my back hurt a bit." The milk cat stopped and spoke human words.

"We'll be there soon. Just hold on a little longer." The three-color civet cat walking in front turned around helplessly and said. There was some distress in his tone, but also some comfort.

"But it really hurts. It's uncomfortable to walk on three legs. It's jumping a little bit." Ai Luoke continued a little aggrievedly.

Before El said anything, Alok suddenly said: "Why do I have to walk on three legs? Can't I just walk on two legs?"

"This is what you call flexible use of skills." His tone was somewhat complacent.

"You can do it if you want, but don't let anyone see you. It's better to turn into a human and leave." Il was stunned by Alok's wild imagination and said helplessly.

"That's what you said. I can't hold on anymore. Really."

Before he finished speaking, Elok released his transformation. He was afraid that Ir wouldn't allow it, so he just cut and played at the same time.

In the narrow alley, Elok's figure appeared, which seemed a bit abrupt and disharmonious. Of course, the most important thing is that this alley is so narrow that it can only accommodate one person. If there is another person coming from the opposite side, he will have to turn sideways.

I really don’t know who designed it. The sewers are designed to be so wide, and the roads on the ground are designed to be so narrow. There must be something wrong with your brain.

After silently complaining, Alok saw El sighing helplessly, with a helpless expression on his face, and continued to move forward.

Now I have learned to observe the cat's expression. Maybe this is a talent of cats? Alok thought as he walked.

We came to a slightly wider alley, which was at least much better than before.

Alok didn't take out the key, he opened a door and came to the room. But he could only see pitch black, which made him a little worried, so he whispered:

"Roger. We're back."

Behind him, El also changed back to his original form. He muttered a spell silently in his mouth, and a fireball suddenly lit up.

This brought the figure of Roger sleeping on the table to Alok's sight.

Looking back at El, Alok asked:

"Is this also a flexible use of skills?"

"That's right." El's tone sounded very proud, just like Alok just now.

She suddenly felt that it was interesting to imitate Alok, so she shrugged and continued: "This is much more flexible than turning into a cat that walks on two legs."

Alok's face wrinkled helplessly, but he didn't dare to shrug. He could only let out a bitter smile, closed his mouth and looked back at Roger.

He walked forward and patted Roger's body gently. He shouted:

"Get up, get up."

Unexpectedly, Roger jumped up suddenly, dodged Alok's blow, and exclaimed: "Who?"

"Hey~ don't be nervous. It's us, Roger." Alok comforted.

"Ha~ It turns out it's you two. Bad, greedy devils." Seeing the brothers and sisters in front of him, Roger's tone was very bad, but his figure relaxed. Glancing sideways at them.

"Don't say that. After all, my sister saved you. And I also helped you find your treasure." Alok said instead of being angry after hearing this.

We are the creditors anyway. What's there to be angry about?

"You came back so quickly. I couldn't wait any longer. I even took a nap. Is it dawn now?" Roger said sarcastically.

"I have some personal business. Hehe. I'll keep you waiting for a long time. I saw that your saliva was almost drooling just now. Did you dream of eating a whole fish?" Alok didn't care about Roger's words. In order to let Roger understand the situation, he sarcastically said.

"Come on, Alok. Don't mock me there. I know I'm still a bird now. Let's go." Roger flapped his wings a few times after hearing Alok's words.

"It's Captain Jack." Il reminded him from behind Elok.

"Okay, okay. Captain Jack, let's go. You guys are so boring." Roger made an anxious voice.

"No problem." Alok confirmed Roger's words, then turned back to look at El and whispered:

"Let's go to the port to find a carriage first. The place is a bit remote and it takes two hours to walk there."

Seeing Il nodding in agreement, Alok greeted Roger who was still on the table. Just walk out of the room.

Arrive at the port and tell the driver to go to the easternmost part of Asbestos Town. After getting off the bus, I gratefully handed the driver the fare and said politely, "This place is really remote. Sorry to bother you." Alok took steps and continued walking eastward along the coastline with El.

"Is this place so remote?" El asked, pushing aside the weeds in front of him.

"This is the price of getting 1,000 gold coins." Elok replied.

"Oh my god. There are even snakes here." She saw a spotted snake suddenly appear in front of her, and the fire in her hand flickered a few times. "I'll have to pay more for this."

"Okay, Il. We're almost there." Alok comforted helplessly.

"You've said it three times, is it almost there?" Il wanted to hit Alok when he heard this.

"Soon, soon." Alok smiled slightly to hide his embarrassment.

He pointed to a cliff in front and said to Il: "Look, it's right there."

But Il was embarrassed to see Il holding the snake's head with one hand and lighting the fire with the other hand, and shouted to Alok: "Hurry, help me hold him down. This is an extraordinary species. Its venom is a very effective raw material for preparing medicines."

At the end, she added: "It's very expensive."

Weren't you afraid to pay more just now? Grab its head to squeeze out the venom? Alok didn't know what to say, and stayed where he was, at a loss.

"Why are you standing there? The venom is about to flow out." Ir shouted anxiously at Alok.

"Uh~ What should I do?" Alok asked helplessly.

"Grab his head. Squeeze it tightly."

Uh~ This is really a bit difficult for me. I have never dealt with snakes. Alok approached Ir with some fear, and took the spotted viper from Ir with a trembling right hand.

This is really no less than a fight. What if it bites me? Who knows what kind of snake it is.

Well~ Ir knows.

After handing the venomous snake to Alok, Ir magically took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out the water inside, and pointed the bottle mouth at the venomous fangs of the venomous snake. He showed a sinister smile and pinched the head of the venomous snake viciously.

This really reveals the true face of evil. Alok couldn't help thinking when he looked at Ir's horrible expression.

Then, Ir plugged the wooden stopper at the mouth of the bottle and put it in his pocket, looking back at Alok who was still standing there in a daze. He sighed and said, "Get rid of him quickly. Don't let him bite you."

"Huh? I'm observing. This is not the same as the extraordinary species I imagined." Alok came back to his senses. He threw the poor spotted snake away with his right hand and said, "I thought the extraordinary species would have some extraordinary abilities."

"Indeed, but I transformed it." Il explained helplessly.

Alok recalled the snake that suddenly appeared in front of him just now, and then thought about the one in his hand. He said in surprise, "Ah? Transformed. Why do I feel that there is no change."

"Turn into a snake. In this way, his extraordinary abilities cannot be exerted, but it still looks like a snake, so you can get some snake venom." Il replied, "How about it, this is also flexible use."

This is also flexible use? Alok suddenly realized something.

I have to say that Il is more talented and imaginative than me. But what does it matter? He is Il.

Thinking of this, Alok smiled with relief. Pointing to the cliff in front of him, he said, "We are almost there, just in front."
