Chapter 330: Fake Ghost Regiment
Raymond read the news about the shocking change in the land of giants in Le Monde, and a touch of solemnity appeared between his eyebrows. The course of history has gone far beyond his expectations. After thinking about it for a while, I roughly sorted out the context.
Several people from the "Ghost Group" on the side were a little puzzled when they saw his frowning expression.
They don't know the "original" course of history, so they don't notice anything wrong with the contents of the newspaper.
Anna asked, "Captain, what's wrong with you?" ”
Raymond pondered for a moment before replying, "Hmm... The people of the Davide family gathered mercenaries to fight in the mining area, and this trip to the country of giants may be quite risky. ”
Hearing this, Colin on the side said: "A large-scale war is indeed quite dangerous, and it is easy to be affected by going deep into the war zone. However, as long as we are careful to avoid it, with the super performance of the 'Golden Ghost', it should be no big problem. ”
Raymond: "Well, be careful. When it comes to Gafatron, everyone pays attention. ”
Everyone responded, "Yes." ”
Raymond thought for a moment and told everyone about his voyage arrangement, "Let's go and see the Davide family's war base camp first." If there is a large war, the chance of being able to obtain 'Rainbow Ore' through the black market channel should also be greater. When the time comes, we'll go to the Giant's Court again and find some experimental samples for Lulu..."
Anna said: "Now that the Davis family is at war with the Giant Kingdom, we are going to the Giant Court, will those big guys let me enter smoothly?" ”
"Although humans and giants are at war, the actual mining area is located in the mountain tribes. Those guys from the Davide family are just fighting with the mountain giants, and it can only be regarded as a local war..."
Raymond roughly analyzed the speculation of the situation in his heart in a more reasonable way.
He said: "Now that the chief of the 'Burning Thorn Tribe' has become an admiral, the giants are too busy to take care of themselves, and there will definitely be no full-scale war." And there is the shadow of the world government behind this war, and those guys will definitely be in it..."
Speaking of this, Raymond smiled mysteriously and said, "So, even if it is chaotic, it will not affect some normal exchanges." After all, even if there is another war, it will definitely not affect the Giant Court. Legend has it that the giant gods blessed that no one dared to spread the flames of war there. Human ships have an advantage in naval warfare, but if they really want to go on land, they won't get any benefit. The giants are a truly warlike race, and they are never afraid of any war..."
crackled a bunch of words, and roughly sorted out the clue.
Anna was a little confused when she heard this: "These... Did you read the newspaper and analyze it? ”
Not only her, but also Colin, Fat Cat, and Nicole also had a stunned look of amazement in their eyes.
I don't understand what I heard... But it seems so powerful, so reasonable?
"Hmm."
Raymond cheekily nodded.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were full of stars, and they exclaimed: "Captain, you are so powerful!" ”
“...”
Raymond smiled, didn't continue to pretend, and said, "Our next route..."
He pointed to the chart that Anna took out and roughly marked the itinerary of the next "ghost group". He knew very well the situation in this sea area, where there were dangerous krakens in the deep sea, where there were dangerous areas where sea kings were concentrated, and which route they should enter the royal court from if they wanted to avoid war...
As he spoke, suddenly the fat cat shouted, "Captain, there's a ship over there!" ”
Raymond thought that something had happened again, but at this glance, his expression became very strange.
......
In the binoculars, the Spectre group saw an equally rusty, predator-class battleship. The most shocking thing is that the black skeletal pirate flag fluttering on the battleship also has two white ghostly "ghosts" printed on it!
Seeing this, the purr on the side muttered, "Captain... That ship and ours look like too, how is it that their flag is also a ghost? ”
Anna also said, "Raymond, look at the man standing at the bow of the boat, dressed like you. ”
Nicole: "That red-haired woman seems to be like Sister Anna..."
Colin: "..."
It's not just an image, it's simply a "Li Ghost Ghost Troupe"!
Raymond's vision was clearer, and he looked at the plywood of the ship opposite, a guy wearing a pirate captain's suit, wearing a one-eyed blindfold, and two long swords pinned to his waist, wasn't he exactly the same as his own outfit?
And he was accompanied by a red-haired, heavily dressed woman who looked like a navigator.
There's even a big-headed kid who clearly looks like he's malnourished...
At this time, the three people of their "ghost group" who were on the bounty list all found their corresponding imitators on the opposite boat.
"Damn, this guy is copying exactly our ghost group?"
Raymond's eyelids twitched, and he was not surprised.
What's going on?
......
The "Li Ghost Boat" on the opposite side had apparently also spotted Raymond and them. Those guys probably thought they had met a "peer", and they were excitedly waving flags and waving flags.
Anna understood the other party's flag, and said with a strange expression: "Captain, those guys asked if they wanted to come over and walk together..."
Raymond thought about it, and wanted to find out what was going on, so he said, "Let them come over, and ask about the situation by the way." ”
......
A little closer, Raymond and their "Li Ghost Group" are similar to their own in appearance, and they have not imitated the essence at all.
In front of him was an ordinary predator warship sprayed with rust paint, which looked rough in workmanship, not at all like the smooth curved hull of the "Golden Ghost" whale form.
The other party's ship is even equipped with ordinary ammunition artillery, not even a magic cannon.
After sensing the strength of those on the other ship, Raymond also understood why.
In the perception, the strength of the few people on the opposite side is still really weak, a few sequence 5, and some low-level transcendent crew members of sequence 6 and sequence 7, scattered nearly a hundred people.
The magic energy cannon needs at least seven or eight orders of magic crystal charging, and the small pirate group of this strength has no ability to hunt down that kind of high-level magical beast at all. Instead of placing a few impractical magic cannons, it is better to have a few large-caliber conventional guns.
After a short while, the two boats slowly approached.
A hundred and ten meters apart, the crew members of the ship all looked at each other curiously.
The one-eyed pirate captain of the fake ghost looked at Raymond and exclaimed, "Yo... Brother, this outfit is really exquisite! This dress is much more like what we imitate. ”
"Huh.."
Hearing this, Raymond rubbed his eyebrows strangely, and didn't know how to say this for a while.
Obviously, the other party still thought that he had met a "peer".
It was far away just now, and everyone didn't really see it.
Now that it's closer, I know that the other party is really too rough a "copycat".
The pirate suit on this fake Raymond looks like the kind of shoddy store goods, and the two swords on his waist are very awkward, and he doesn't look like a real swordsman.
And at this time,
Anna also deliberately looked at the red-haired woman who was said to be like her.
At this look, he instantly pursed his mouth and complained softly: "Am I so ugly..."
The fat woman's hair on the other ship was obviously dyed, and some new flaxen-colored hair had grown at the roots. The thick smell of fat powder could be smelled from afar, but it couldn't cover her dark and scorched yellow skin. The figure can't be looked at directly, and the fat on her belly is like a swimming ring, swaying with the waves...
Anna complained again: What the hell is this like?
......
The captain of the Fake Ghost Regiment was enthusiastic.
The "peer" encounter made the fake Raymond have a kind of excitement to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign land. He asked excitedly: "Brother is from that regiment, what do you call it?" ”
Raymond said lightly: "Raymond." ”
"Yo, my brother is in the play."
The fake Raymond raised his eyebrows, and said quietly: "I mean my real name..."
Raymond thought for a moment, and said casually: "Uh... Nicholas Zhao Si. ”
"Oh."
Fake Raymond smiled meaningfully, with a look on his face: "It turned out to be Brother Nicholas... We're from the Falcon Pirates, so just call me Captain Tom. ”
After a pause, he asked again, "You also went to Gafatron to fight as mercenaries?" ”
Raymond: "Hmm... Sort of. ”
Captain Tom was even more excited, and said: "Tsk, the Davide family's mercenary conscription order has gone crazy in several nearby seas, but it is rare to have such a big chaebol, while the battle is not over, let's go and make a profit." I heard that if you don't do anything as a mercenary, you can get a million quarks a month! ”
"Huh."
Raymond laughed dryly, noncommittal. Where is the war money so easy to make, low-level transcendentals, the casualty rate in a large-scale war is extremely high.
Then Captain Tom asked, "By the way, brother, where are you from?" ”
Raymond: "Eludnis, the 'City of the Night'." ”
"Oh?"
Captain Tom's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Didn't you see the 'Ghost Regiment' with your own eyes?" ”
"I've seen it."
Raymond was a little puzzled, was he really so much like a fake "ghost group"?
It's all so clear, these guys don't recognize it?
Obviously, there is something unusual about this.
"No wonder... Of the parody groups I've met during this time, you're the most alike! ”
Tom looked envious, and said, "We haven't seen the 'Ghost Regiment', so we can only look at the description on the bounty order, and imitate a rough idea, the details are too far behind." ”
"Those?"
Raymond heard that something was wrong with this "measure word" and asked, "How many people are imitating the Ghost Regiment now?" ”
"You don't know yet?"
Captain Tom looked surprised, "That's a lot! ”
After a pause, he added: "Before, in the Grull Sea, the Ghost Regiment's 'rusty ship' that could fly in the sky spread all over the nearby seas. At that time, there were not many people who imitated it, and most of them just sprayed rust paint on the ship. ”
After a pause, he said with a glint in his eyes: "Then in the battle of the 'City of Eternal Night', the Ghost Regiment became famous in a battle, and Captain Raymond offered a reward of over 100 million to become a 'new star of pirates'!" Now several of the surrounding seas are almost imitating crazy... I haven't met ten of them along the way, but at least eight of them are rusty ships like ours, all under the banner of 'Ghost Regiment'..."
"So much?"
Raymond showed a surprised look, no wonder this guy didn't hesitate to think it was a "peer" when he met them.
Hearing this, he finally understood what was happening.
The pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million are all star-level figures in the pirate camp, and usually only high-level transcendents above Sequence 3 can reach a bounty of more than 100 million.
It is a supreme glory and a symbol of strength.
Take this bounty amount to any pirate tavern and sit down, the bounty amount is like a "pretending halo", which can blind the titanium eyes of others, like walking on the red carpet, and will make people enjoy countless adoring eyes. Not only will it attract a group of minions to shout "666", but it can also "swipe the face card" to let the girls throw themselves into their arms and drink less...
There are more than 100 million pirates, but the endless sea is so big, who can tell the difference between the real and the fake?
Therefore, there are always good people who imitate more than 100 million sea thieves and enjoy that vanity.
The lower the strength, the more people will hurt the idle eggs.
However, it is difficult for pirates with egg pain to imitate the pirates above Sequence 3, and it is easy to be recognized.
Now, God has given them a "great opportunity".
There is only a special case of "Ghost Regiment", which has the lowest cost of imitation. The bounty order was announced, and Captain Raymond was only in sequence 5, and any transcendent person with two knives could imitate five or six points of similarity.
The ships of the "Ghost Regiment" are the kind of rusty small Predators, and the sea is full of ships of this tonnage, and it is too easy to spray paint to imitate the appearance.
......
At this time, Captain Tom asked curiously, "Since you have seen the Ghost Regiment, then... He killed the commodore with a sword, a reorganized squad, and you were there in the battle where the Seven Martial Seas were tough and did not fall into the wind? ”
Raymond felt as if he had blown it a little too much, and he himself blushed a little, "Tough Seven Martial Seas? Where did you hear that? ”
Is it still hard to face the Seven Martial Seas? If you run away from the wilderness, you can live your life!
"Do you still need to ask?!"
Captain Tom looked surprised and said what he had heard like a potato, "Now the name of the 'Ghost Regiment' is popular in several nearby seas, okay!" I heard that he not only killed the Commodore Admiral, but also hardened the Seven Martial Seas... He also provoked the 'Endless Eight Emperors' and killed the important subordinates of the [Night Emperor], the sea thief Unn in Sequence 2, and now the people of the [Night Emperor] are chasing him all over the world! Moreover, a few days ago, I heard that the Oliver family issued a 'noble bounty order' to find them..."
When did I provoke the Night Emperor?
Raymond was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't explain much.
The people of the [Night Emperor] were not surprised to find him, but they were a little surprised when they heard the second half of the sentence, "Noble bounty order? ”
"yes, you're afraid you haven't heard of it, have you?" After the Ghost Regiment entered the Endless Sea Middle Domain, they did another great thing that caused a sensation in the Quartet Sea! ”
Captain Tom kind of flaunts that he's well-informed.
He said in an exaggerated tone, "There is news that the 'Ghost Regiment' has sunk a medium fleet of the Oliver family, more than twenty top-class ships!" Now the people of the Oliver family have issued a high noble bounty, and those who provide clues to the location of the 'Ghost Regiment' can get 10 million quarks, slashers, and provide ten times the bounty of the navy! Now, bounty hunters are looking for them all over the world..."
The corners of Raymond's eyes twitched, and he said quietly: "More than twenty? How is that possible..."
"How could it be?!"
Captain Tom slapped his thigh and said, "That Raymond Sequence 5 can kill the top transcendent of Sequence 2, and it makes sense that the 'Ghost Regiment' can kill more than 20 ships!" Extraordinary people cannot use ordinary theories..."
“...”
When Raymond heard this, the corners of his eyebrows jumped.
Suddenly, he noticed that their "ghost group" was not in good shape.
The Night Emperor, the Navy, the Bounty Hunters, the Oliver Family... They seem to be looking for them.
At this time, Captain Tom caught another glimpse of Jiji lying on the fence and watching the excitement, and said enviously: "Brother, don't say it, you are really particular about this detail." I heard from the grapevine that there was a white-haired monkey in the Ghost Regiment. But pure white monkeys are not easy to find, where do you find such one? ”
Raymond opened his mouth to talk nonsense, "Black, dyed later." ”
Captain Tom's eyes lit up: "Yo~ Let's think of a piece!" When I got to Gafatlon, I went to find a monkey and dyed it white. ”
“...”
Raymond had a general idea of some news from the nearby seas, and he was no longer interested in traveling with Captain Tom.
After taking his leave, the "Golden Ghost" sailed at full speed, and in a short time the "True Rust Ship" was thrown far away.
......
Seeing the exaggerated speed of the Iron Toad, the crew of the Fake Ghost Regiment also came to their senses.
"Captain, we can't meet the real 'Ghost Group', right?"
"I'm afraid so..."
Captain Tom's face also became very strange, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."
I had a preconceived idea that the other party was fake, but I didn't realize it. Now that I come back to my senses, many details prove an amazing fact - they have encountered the real "Ghost Pirates"!
At least none of the imitation groups they had met before had such a temperament. The swordsman's eyes made him, a veteran Sequence 5 pirate captain, feel faint palpitations.
Thinking of this, Tom muttered to himself, "Oh... It turns out that the real 'Ghost Regiment' looks like this! ”
Suddenly, his eyes became full of excitement, and he said to the crew, "Hurry up, everyone do as they do." Let's get an identical 'Ghost Pirates' out too! Also, remember to get a monkey when the time comes..."
"Captain, that's... Shall we inform Oliver's people? ”
"Phew! Although we are pirates, we are not good money! Where can pirates report pirates? ”
“...”
They had no idea that somewhere on the ship, a small eavesdropping mechanical bug was quietly hiding in the shadows.
......
Almost at the same time,
On the Iron Toad, everyone in the "Ghost Regiment" also heard the conversation of several members of the "Falcon Pirates" from the eavesdropping radio.
"Captain, they seem to have given up on the intention of ventilating the news."
"Since you don't have a crooked mind, I won't sink them."
......
The Golden Ghost sailed the surface for several more days.
Finally, at the end of the field of vision, a thin thread connecting heaven and earth like a hair appeared. Looking through the lookout glass, it turned out to be a huge green vine. It was the "Heavenly Divine Tree" that grew in the Giant Court!
Anna excitedly shouted, "Come out, everyone, we have arrived at the 'Land of Giants' Gaffatron!" ”
