Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Failed to achieve the expected desired result, and used this round of firepower to temporarily suppress the counterattack momentum of the undead, Luo Zhengdao also took the opportunity to turn over and jump over the side of the ship to the ghost ship, and stood with the sailors. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Seeing this scene, the morale of the pirates who had just suffered a small loss was greatly boosted, and there was a saying in the old world: it will be the courage of the soldiers. The kind of coward who commands a large army and stays in a foolproof safe place to scold Fang Xuan cannot be looked down upon by his subordinates, especially in the era when long-range strike forces are not available, and it is one of the main responsibilities of a commander to ensure that his image appears within the visible range of soldiers at all times.
When Vina Dubov saw Luo Zhengdao's reckless move, she hurriedly shouted:
"Will, come back, it's dangerous over there."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao didn't even look back, and said very firmly:
"Don't worry, I'm sure."
The magic card used by Luo Zhengdao just now seemed to be suspicious of thunder and rain, and he couldn't see any earth-shattering effect at all, but the power of the magic card master was definitely not a boast of just one mouth.
The effect of the six-pointed star array magic card is only one, which reduces the attributes of the enemy target by 20% and increases the total attributes of your own units by 15% within the coverage area of the circle. At first glance, this may seem like a no-brainer, but the so-called comprehensive suppression effect means that it is reduced regardless of the opponent's attributes. To put it more colloquially, the health bar and the ability to dodge and recover from attack and defense are all reduced by 20%, and your own side is strengthened by 10% and a half. There is a gap between this coming and going, and such a terrifying cheating method can really make the enemy who has been abused by the plug-in dog be indignant to the point that the cerebral blood vessels burst, if this group of undead still has cerebral blood vessels to explode.
"Charge!"
His subordinates were all fighting, and Luo Zhengdao couldn't watch it when he came, so he roared and leaned over and drew his sword and rushed forward. Finally inherited the previous owner, Will. Needham's swordsmanship skills that have been cultivated for many years, Luo Zhengdao wields the long sword at this time with a feeling of freedom like an arm and finger, which is not much worse than eating with chopsticks. In a moment's thought, he quickly rushed to a skeleton soldier wearing rusted chain mail, and after successfully parrying its saber slash, Luo Zhengdao immediately flipped his wrist and smashed the copper counterweight ball at the end of the hilt of the skeleton soldier into the weakest part of the skeleton's face.
"Quack!"
After a hoarse noise, the skeleton soldier's faint soul fire could not withstand the heavy blow of the hilt, and the whole skeleton fell apart in response, and the broken dry bones fell on the deck of the ghost ship, which was a good sign for Luo Zhengdao's victory. Taking advantage of the momentum of the successful blow, he raised his long sword and loudly encouraged his subordinates and said:
"Attack! Let's work hard to get the bones of the dead back to the grave. ”
"Kill! Kill them! Sonic, don't step on my feet......"
"Is this rotten loot?"
After about an hour of fighting, the battered ghost ship vanished into a dazzling blue firelight, and as the dust cleared, the bloody battle came to an end. At this time, Luo Zhengdao looked at the pile of loot in front of him and frowned, as if he had just drunk a pot of bitter wine.
At the cost of considerable casualties, the pirates won the encounter by annihilating the undead creatures on the ghost ship. However, victory is not always a source of joy, especially for pirates, who are reluctant to participate in battles that are not beneficial. If it weren't for the ghost ship initiating the conflict today, the situation exhibition would not allow the pirates to make any other choice, they would rather not see the ghost ship than fight this group of poor swordsmen and guns.
The ghost ship is a wanderer in the sea of death who has existed for an unknown number of years, and the undead are not like living people, they do not need supplies or amass wealth, and it is very appropriate to describe them as poor and white. In the limited time after the war before the ghost ship disintegrated and sank, the loot that the pirates scraped was lackluster, so it is no wonder that Luo Zhengdao was so discouraged. Let's take a look at the rags of all these trophies! A large pile of rusty iron swords, so rotten that a finger poked into a hole in the old cloth, a few gold and silver coins, and there was no value at all when counted.
Flipping through the old rags, the boatswain Zola Hegel shook his head in disappointment, and then, as if he had other ideas, he said to Luo Zhengdao quietly:
"This treasure map we found from the Ghost Ship's Captain's Room is probably the most valuable loot, would you be interested in buying it? Your Excellency, Captain? ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao suddenly rolled his eyes in anger, knowing that Zora was using himself as a Kaizi to trap, the problem was that the pirates under his command were busy, and if this treasure map could not be sold for a price, everyone would feel very disappointed, which was not conducive to boosting morale.
When he figured out this section, knowing that there was a pit ahead, Luo Zhengdao had to be willing to jump down as a big wrongdoer, he said with a wry smile:
"Oh well! I'll give you fifty gold coins. ”
Seeing this, Zola Hegel felt that it was too little, so he struck while the iron was hot, and he continued to fool Luo Zhengdao and said:
"This won't work! Your bid, Your Excellency, is too low, this is the treasure map of the great pirate king Jace Baroque, not a bargain to be sold at a market stall. ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao could no longer hold back the strong urge to complain, he wanted to sarcastically mock the other party, and thought that it was not easy to recruit a capable boatswain. After taking several deep breaths in a row, he barely suppressed his unhappiness and said with a strange face:
"Zola, neither you nor I are tomb robbers, we're pirates, you know? It's impossible to judge how to dig for treasure, so it's hard to determine the value of this map, so let's do it! I'll add a little more, a hundred gold coins to buy this treasure map, is there anyone on the ship willing to pay more? ”
At a glance, this old parchment treasure map with faded ink looks miserable, similar to this tattered treasure map of unknown origin, every new pirate has encountered it, and everyone knows how high the probability of this thing hitting the eye is. How many people abandon their families and businesses to find the so-called treasure, most of the time the harvest is empty joy, a few unlucky people also lost their lives on the way to the dangerous treasure hunt, those who can follow the map and return with a full load, in ten years may not be out of a half, looking for treasure or something, that is more of an unrealistic dream of wealth!
When Luo Zhengdao made an announcement to everyone present, no one had spoken for a long time, so he laughed dryly twice and spread his hands to the boatswain, and said:
“…… It seems that there is none, so let's make a deal at the price I said! ”
Yes, the reputation of the Pirate King is bluffing, and the question is who can prove that this treasure map is from the famous Pirate King?
You must know that those famous and outstanding people, the more powerful the attachment of the latecomers, over time, except for those rookies who have just gone to sea to beg for a life and their minds are full of legendary stories, no one is willing to believe the rumors of treasures that the dead are not worth their lives.
The Pirate King is not a title that cats and dogs can profess at will, even if he is a pirate leader who has a powerful fleet that dominates the Seven Seas and sails covering the sky, and dares to call himself the Pirate King without the proof of the Overlord of the Seven Seas, it is also a copycat that is ashamed to see people. The pirate king Jess Baroque prompted by the Chinese word information of the treasure map this time is a figure from 4,900 years ago, this great pirate was active in the era of the Aether Sea, and the overlord of the main 6 was still the first empire of goblins!
The famous Captain Jace is also the fourth and last Pirate King ever to be recognized. He was as well-known as the pirates of the New World as the big names in the entertainment industry of the Old World, such as the various poems played by the bards in the taverns, involving him no less than two hundred.
In the process of distinguishing the authenticity of the treasure map, Luo Zhengdao learned a lot of relevant common sense from the half-elf beauties, in short, from the written history of the New World, from the ancient goblin civilization, the dragon civilization, the magic civilization and the first goblin empire, and the subsequent human dynasties, a total of tens of thousands of years. In the past inexorable years, there have been four pirate kings, with an average of less than one in 10,000 years, which shows how hard the title of pirate king is.
Treasure maps were a common method of concealment used by pirates, and after each raid, the loot had to be cashed out at a discounted price before being distributed. From warships to toothpicks, it takes a lot of time and effort to deal with them in this way, and then distribute dividends to all sailors according to pirate rules.
In many cases, pirates were either under pressure to survive or were too busy with new sorties to catch more valuable prey, and it was too late to distribute the spoils in such a structured manner. Whenever such a special situation arises, it is necessary to temporarily seal the loot in a hidden location and wait for the future to be opened at an appropriate time, and the treasure map is a treasure hunt guide that records the information of the buried treasure. Despite this, pirates are not good men and women, and not only will they be wary of the theft and copying of treasure maps, but they will also be wary of the captain and other high-ranking people who are trying to steal the treasure for themselves. Thus, a treasure map is not so much a clear map as an index set of guessing games.
Guessing is always risky, once the latecomer misunderstands the hint of the treasure map, it is very likely that they will die in the ambush of the organ guarding the treasure, or they may be led astray and encounter other dangerous factors, which is the main reason why no one is willing to bid with Luo Zhengdao. Even if the treasure map is true, the process of taking out the treasure is also a high-risk activity that tests the character of the person, and as ordinary sailors, they have neither the manpower nor material resources required to hunt for the treasure, let alone the great risk of losing their lives for it.
Luo Zhengdao simply solved the problem of dividends by his own loss, at this time he faintly felt unwell, and soon realized that the old trouble of the curse of the Aragami was coming again, Luo Zhengdao walked quickly to his room, and before entering the door, he did not forget to tell the sailors guarding the captain's room:
"I'm going to take a break, no one is allowed to disturb me, and if something unexpected happens, the officers will discuss it and handle it for me."
"Yes, Lord Count."
