Chapter 110: Special Mission
"What the hell is this?"
Second mate Vaughn's face crumpled, and he quickly choked into a purple eggplant.
The first mate of the tiger gave him a mocking look and continued to take a sip, "This thing is called tobacco, and our orc shamans like to smoke it when they perform sacrificial rituals, and humans don't have this thing?"
"Ahem...... I think the aristocratic grandfathers preferred mellow milk and soft incense. ”
"Tut-tut, it's boring, we don't know how to enjoy life, and this feeling can bring us closer to the gods. ”
Vaughn took a bitter look, and then the waves that stirred up the deck extinguished the fireworks, "Beast God or Sea God?" I think your orc chest is more capable of withstanding this kind of devastation. ”
"What you're saying is stranger than we call it the 'Jackdaw', and I've always thought it's more domineering to call the Poseidon. ”
"Go and tell the captain yourself if you want to scrape the scales in the back kitchen. ”
"Fix the rope and the barrel and get ready to float. ”
Die'er walked behind the two silently, startling the two of them, and the first mate of the tiger choked on the smoke.
The two of them left in a hurry, after all, the Jackdaw floated up, the water film disappeared, and there would still be a lot of seawater rushing onto the deck.
Butterfly felt the warmth in her chest, walked to the side of the boat alone, stretched out her hand through the water film, the reduced speed of the water did not have much impact, and the terrifying water pressure seemed to her as if it did not exist.
Butterfly's fingers bent around a cloud of seawater, and she gently withdrew her palm, and a ball of clear water floated quietly above her palm.
She calmly observed the water balloon, the surface of which was not smooth, and seemed to be disintegrating at any moment.
But in her mind, there was a heavy snowfall, a vulture-like man leaned over his body, leaning on a wooden cane and walking away from her step by step, the cold wind was cold, the crow on his shoulder let out an unknown cry, the man stopped, and slowly turned around......
The screen shatters, and the water balloon falls on the deck, scattering back into a sea of water.
Butterfly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she pulled out the scimitar at her waist, and shouted loudly in the dark and silent sea:
"Jackdaw, float!"
As far as the eye can see, a wooden pole is erected, followed by a mast, a sail, a deck, and a ship's side.
Accompanied by the waves of the waves, the Jackdaw came to a steady stop above the water, like a giant beast in the sea showing its back, and the remnants of the sea water flowed down the side of the ship, reflecting a snow-white color.
At the observation deck at the top of the mast, the crew snorted their wet hair and confirmed the location of the Jackdaw on the chart with the moon in the sky and the islands visible to the naked eye.
"Report to Captain, we have reached the sea area of Honoris, three days away from the Luqiao Strait, and no other ships have been spotted so far. ”
Die'er stood on the second deck and gestured to the watchtower, signaling that she knew.
In the dark of night, the oil lamp of the Jackdaw, which had just been extinguished by the sea, was re-lit, and Butterfly held the rudder, meditated on the charts, and took the helm herself.
At the same time, a low roar came from the sea, and a huge shadow darker than night swam from the bottom of the ship into the distance, and the sailors on board were accustomed to smiling.
More than ten days passed, and the Jackdaw walked around the waters of Honoris, but still did not find any trace of Duke Baroff of the sea.
However, there were many other ships along the way, but no one wanted to approach the Jackdaw because of the pirate flag.
And some pirates who lick blood at the tip of the knife and don't want to eat black for a long time have naturally become butterflies and their extra money.
For this reason, the first mate of the Tiger Brigade has always felt that these pirates have a problem with their brains, and if it were him, he would never easily attack a three-masted pirate ship.
Vaughn, the second officer, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If pirates are like you, then they won't be called pirates." ”
The first mate of the Tiger gave him a reply: "According to the captain's words, I am an atypical tiger man, and if I were my kindred, I might be more pirates than pirates." ”
On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the long-lost sunshine and blue sky came again, and even the orcs, who usually avoided other ships, came to the deck one after another to enjoy the fresh air.
Die'er was still standing on the second deck, personally at the helm, when suddenly, the familiar roar sounded, and a huge black shadow under the water returned to the bottom of the ship.
Die'er showed a strange expression, "No wonder I haven't been able to find it, it turned out to be in the offshore area, when did these two start to dock in addition to the sea knights?"
"Everyone prepare, set sail, full speed ahead!"
By the time the Jackdaw folded its sails and Butterfly squinted, it was already a few days later.
The pirate flag on the Jackdaw was hunting, and it was another foggy rainy day.
Vaughn stood at the edge of the deck, retracting his constricted gaze, bean-sized raindrops falling on his shoulders, "Captain, they ...... There was no pirate flag, and the hull of the ship appeared to have been camouflaged. ”
"I saw it. ”
"It deserves that the two pirate kings should be treated like this by being close to the shore, they must have some special purpose. ”
Butterfly bowed: "Go back to the cabin first, and hang behind them through the fog." ”
In the cabin, the two shook off the rain on their bodies, and the first mate of the tiger man on one side was marking the chart.
"How's it going? Confirm it's them?"
"That's them. Vaughn sat down in his chair with a big grin and took a sip of fruit wine, "Thirty boats, quite a few, but these are two pirate kings, and they have also lowered the flag, and this meeting is like His Majesty going out to secretly ride a wheelbarrow." ”
"Shall we also give the pirate flag down?"
"No, I don't. Butterfly twisted the corners of her clothes, walked to the chart and slid her hand away, "This route...... It was towards the shore and the pirate flag was unloaded...... Disguised...... They should want to go ashore. ”
"Ashore?" Vaughn lowered his glass in surprise, "Except for the knights of the sea, other pirate kings dare to go ashore? ”
"If you go in this direction, it happens to be a small seaport in Honoris. Butterfly nodded on the table, "With their arrogance, even if they really show off on the shore, they won't disguise themselves, like you said, they must have some special purpose." ”
"If it's sunny in a few days, if we continue like this, we may be startled. Vaughn thought along Butterfly's train of thought.
A smile appeared on the corner of Die'er's mouth, and she glanced up at Vaughn, "Vaughn, you prepare, tomorrow morning, come ashore with me in advance." ”
Vaughn's breath froze: "Captain, can I refuse ......"
Early the next morning, the Jackdaw lowered a boat, and the butterfly jumped up with her wings tied and wrapped in a black cloak, followed by Vaughn with a dead face.
"Captain ......"
"Ready to go!"
Butterfly pinned her legs to the boat and reached out to pat the side of the boat, and Vaughn tied her legs in accordance with her movements, but both hands grabbed the side of the boat.
The weather was already showing signs of clearing, the rain had subsided considerably, and the bottom of the boat was shrouded in a huge black shadow, and a rope sank from the bow of the boat.
With Vaughn's scream, the boat sprang out like a bow and arrow, not much slower than the Jackdaw underwater.
The first mate of the tiger man listened to the screams and drifted away, and his thick palm was placed across his forehead.
"To be honest, I want to try it too, it must be very exciting, but unfortunately I can't get ashore, tsk tsk......"
The speed of the boat was very fast, and although it made some detours along the way to avoid being discovered, and stopped from time to time to rest in order to take care of Vaughn's physical condition, it still docked half a day earlier than the fleet of the two pirate kings.
Butterfly and Vaughn have been waiting in the corner of the harbor since they came ashore, and at night, the moonlit and starry night sky does not obstruct the view even if there are no lights.
Under the eyes of the two of them, more than thirty ships stopped not far from the port, and a large ship large enough to serve as a flagship slowly docked.
There were no oil lamps lit on the ship, as if trying to reduce his presence.
After a while, a convoy of carriages slowly drove into the harbor and stopped on the shore, and a large number of men in black got out of the carriages and surrounded the harbor.
Fortunately, this is not a sea city, and there will be no other superfluous people at night in the small port, except for the fishing boats that return to the port overnight.
Then, a middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage and boarded the big ship under the protection of many men in black.
After landing on the deck, the man seemed to be a little nostalgic, and held on to the railing for a long time, and finally was reminded to turn around and walk into the cabin.
In the corner, Vaughn looked dazed and turned his head to look at Die'er: "Captain?"
Die'er was silent, staring at the door of the cabin, thinking about the side face of the middle-aged man just now in the moonlight.
"Brandi ......"
