Chapter 230: Infighting
The two of them discussed in the soul space for about ten minutes, and then returned to the real world on the ship.
From the time Todd closes his eyes to when he reopens them, it seems to others to be just a few seconds.
Smiling, he took out three silver moons from his bosom, and Todd put them in Aisha's hand: "You are the person that King Twilight values and His Majesty has instructed me more than once to obey your arrangement. β
Hearing Todd's words, Aisha's eyes softened a little for the first time.
Then she threw the coin at the wounded's feet and whispered, "Take the money and get me off the deck to work!"
The pirate with his arm broken, with only the glittering money in his eyes, and no longer caring about the pain in his body, moved his body, shouting and scolding in the laughter and coaxing of the crowd, and at the same time crushing the three silver moons with his body.
The first mate of the golden tooth glanced at Aisha, and the other party's cold face made him unconsciously look away.
The former gestured to the people around him, and the onlookers suddenly dispersed.
Todd silently noted the faces in his mind, and returned to the cabin with Richel.
Closing the hatch, Todd looked at Rachel and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Rachel shook her head: "It's nothing, in the old days of wandering, this kind of thing happened too many times. β
Todd lowered his head, gave up on continuing the topic, and asked instead, "What do you think about that Golden Tooth First Mate?"
"If there is an event or a thing as an introduction to provoke the conflict between the captain and the first mate, then it is logical to eliminate this unstable factor on the ship. β
"Introduction?" Todd touched his face and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked to the door.
Seeing this, Richer hurriedly followed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go and confirm one thing. β
The two tried not to attract the attention of others, and walked to the lowest cargo compartment.
Todd was in the dimly lit space, looking down the ceiling of the cargo hold, inch by inch.
Rachel followed his gaze and looked over his head suspiciously, seeing nothing of note other than dirty stains.
Todd looked up and asked Richel, "Where do you usually put your money?"
"Most of it was at the Twilight Bank, and a small part was left around. β
To the latter's answer, the former nodded, "That's the habit of the residents of Dusk City, but for Aisha, who is a pirate, the storage of belongings will definitely be different. β
Rachel somewhat understood Todd's thoughts: "You mean ......"
"As a payment for intelligence and a deposit for the escort, I once gave Aisha a large sum of money. As a pirate, she can't trust the Dusk Bank, so her money won't stay in the city. Todd used the ability of "Perspective" to look through the wooden plank on the roof of the cabin and look at the space above: "Black Pearl has not anchored in any port in the past few days since it set sail, and Aisha naturally has no chance to go ashore to bury the money. Then, there is only one possibility, and the money should remain on board. β
Todd stretched out his hand to remove some of the supplies in the cargo hold, and looked at a ceiling, his eyes lit up: "Before I got on the ship, I asked someone to understand the hull structure of the Black Pearl, and the captain's room is diagonally above here, and the money ......"
Todd tapped his hand lightly on the board above his head, and there was an echo of a hollow mezzanine.
He smiled and turned his head to Richelle, "Like the old way of hiding treasures, those two bags of money are kept in the floor compartment of the captain's room. β
βββββββββββββββ
Late the next night, Todd sat on a chair in the cabin, looked at the unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, and sighed: "Although this face is more durable now, I still prefer the original look." β
Rachel held his chin, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and whispered: "The appearance is only the shape of skin and flesh, and the heart is the scale of judging human beings." β
This sentence sounds like a famous quote from some famous person. β
Rachel shook her head and said, "No, it's a friend of mine." β
Todd put down the bronze mirror and looked back at the woman: "You once told me that there are really very few people who can be called friends by you. β
"That's right, it's a pity to die......"
Todd was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
There was silence in the cabin.
Richer looked at the plank at the bottom of his feet and whispered, "I don't know, did that first mate take the bait?"
The news must have reached his ears, and this evening the group of people had gathered to discuss something. Todd slowly touched the outline of his face and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow morning, Black Pearl will dock at the first supply point, and in order to prevent the captain from diverting his belongings, tonight is the best time for them to do it." β
Richer nodded slightly: "Inside the plank, there are some small moves, as long as they take the money bag, Aisha should immediately notice." β
Todd stretched and yawned, "All that's left is to wait." β
After another half hour, Todd sat drowsy in his chair, and when his eyelids were about to close, there was a sudden shouting and arguing from under his feet.
Todd got up from his chair and glanced at Richel across the table, and the same thought came to their mindsβthe fish had taken the bait.
By the time they were fully dressed, pushed open the hatch, and walked up the gangway, the deck was already full of people, and the torches were shining in the vast sea.
The Golden Tooth First Mate, with a dozen or so of his men, stood under the mast, carrying two heavy money bags in their hands. Opposite them, on the high helm platform, Aisha was only dressed in a corset and leather pants, holding a short sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, and the anger in her eyes shone brightly in the dark night.
"First mate, what you've done has exceeded my endurance!" Aisha raised her sword in her hand, a piercing roar piercing the night of the sea.
Golden Tooth patted the money bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Captain, our brothers use blood and life to help you do things. In the end, when you have eaten the meat, you will not give us even a bone!"
Aisha, who was filled with anger, began to look hideous: "Swear to Allah! I will hang a fish hook on the cat's tail whip and tear your skin and flesh clean one by one!!"
Ignoring the captain's threatening words, the Golden Fang opened the opening of a money bag in front of everyone, which was full of silver coins, making everyone around him forget to breathe.
"Captain, why did you never mention to us that the Kingdom of Twilight gave you a good reward?!" Golden Fang tightened his purse tightly, and his words sounded confident, "You never told us where this voyage was going, and in your eyes, we were just a bunch of slaves who made money for you!"
Looking at the pirate who was originally standing beside Aisha, with a look of distrust and hesitation on his face, he slowly moved farther and farther away from her. When there were only two or three people left, Todd whispered to Rachel, "Be ready to do anything, remember, and try not to see that we are aliens!"
Rachel nodded quietly.
At this critical moment, Aisha, who was in danger, rolled her eyes, and her expression calmed down. She looked at the first mate and his men, and suddenly asked a strange question: "You have two money bags in your hand, why do you only open one and not the other?"
Gold Fang froze.
The first opened money bag contained Yinyue, while the second one contained Jin Xu!
His original idea was to gain the trust of most of the crew and kill Captain Aisha. After that, he pretended that the two money bags were full of silver moons, and then distributed these silver moons to the crew to win their loyalty, and finally he could swallow the gold for himself.
Unexpectedly, Aisha actually saw through his plan in a short period of time and countered him.
Looking at the puzzled gazes of the other pirates, the greedy Golden Fang, knowing that he couldn't drag it any longer, he shouted to his cronies beside him: "Whoever can take off the captain's head can take 10 silver moons from here!"
While the other pirates were still hesitating, the first mate's men attacked Aisha first.
These people, who had been prepared, dressed in leather armor and carrying weapons, rushed to the high platform of the rudder.
Aisha took the dagger in her mouth, untied the cable from the wooden fence with one hand, and then grabbed the rope and kicked it on the high platform, and the whole person soared into the air and swung into the enemy. Her body took advantage of the strength of the rope, and the dagger grazed the neck of a pirate with a cold light. Blood splattered from the wound in the enemy's throat and spilled onto the deck.
Swinging to the front of the ship's hull, Aisha kicked on the mast railing, swooped into the enemy's line, and stabbed another pirate in the shoulder with a sword.
At this time, one of the first mate's subordinates ran to the rope roll of the mast and cut the cable with a knife.
Aisha, who lost the traction of the rope, had no object to borrow force in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Todd hurriedly pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted, "Do it!"
As the king of the twilight, he is not familiar with melee skills, and although he uses his abilities of "metal skin", "regeneration", and "weakness" to slash his long sword into the shoulder blade of an enemy, the sword body gets stuck in the bone, and he can't pull it out for a while.
Instead, the wounded pirate, furious, slashed his scimitar at the top of his head.
Rachel lunged forward, kicked the wounded pirate's knee, and then flipped his wrist and stabbed a dagger into the heart of the opponent, helping Todd to free the siege.
On the other side of the battlefield, Aisha got up and took advantage of the obstacles on the deck to engage the enemy.
"Damn!" Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, the angry Golden Tooth took out a pocket crossbow from his arms and slowly aimed at Aisha not far away.
The strings of the crossbow sounded, and a 10-centimeter-long crossbow bolt burrowed into Aisha's thigh.
In pain, the pirate captain could no longer stand and collapsed on the deck.
Seeing this, the golden tooth was overjoyed, waved the weapon in his hand, and rushed towards Aisha, seeing that he was about to cut off the opponent's head.
Rumble!
A loud bang startled everyone on deck.
Todd stood in front of him, looked at the still smoking firearm in Aisha's hand, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
